Sir;...If what you say is true, then why did Mr. Norm Colmen declare defeat... What kind of leader would he have been if he would not attack attack such criminality with a fire brand, and gun, and the quiet end of a rope??? Since when did it cease to be an obligation to raise a hue and cry, and to follow up outlaws to the death??? If what you say is true, that criminals were at work who stole the election fair and square from its rightful winner, then should he not demand justice, or at least, satisfaction??? We do not give up on justice because it is inconvenient, or injustice would always be defended by inconvenience...And if the injured party does not make an issue of injustice then who will, or shall??? Socrates is supposed to have said that there would be justice in Athens when those not injured by injustice are as indignant as those who are... I applaud you for your indignation, and ask why the injured party is not like you: indignant...In the great landscape of politics we must find how the population became so neatly divided that elections with hundreds of thousands and millions turn upon a handful of votes...Were the object of this government perfect division rather than union it could not do better at dividing us... How is this accomplished??? If not only moldy consent, but constant consensus were demanded, we would have to agree... We would have to find subjects upon which we agree, or agreement regardless of the subject to have any progress...Needing only half of the voters plus one makes that number the goal, and any excess of majority is un-economical...One only needs the ones that empower, and in power one only needs reward those who gave power... Forget the rest... Deny them their voice...Play them for powerless fools, and if you are turned out in spite of your minimum majority, then blame fraud, and every sort of crime instead of telling the truth, that majority rule does not lead to justice, and does not lead to tranquility, general welfare, liberty, or unity...We suffer our government like we suffer fools like you; usually in frustration and in silence...Having a single choice is not the same as having a choice... We have to throw a bum in to throw a bum out...We are stuck with that bum until a majority of disaffected can be brought to vote him out again...We do not need leaders... We can govern ourselves... Even if we send many or few to Washington to craft laws with little art, we should still have the final say...We have a multitude of laws, but as you note; Even the highest courts are a party to criminality... And it is because they do not present the case for us to judge... If we will have democracy, and justice, and liberty it will be because we decide which laws we will accept, and which we will deny... The election of people whose only purpose is to divide us is nutty... Parties are an impediment to the goals for which this nation was constituted... Your party is not better than their party... America rejects them both in the only fashion it is able to, by accepting one against the express desires of great numbers nearly equal to those who accept...It is crazy, and it is suicidal... We are a house divided, and our government has made us thus... Thanks...Sweeney
