it all or nothing by a deadline, they will be sorry. I wonder if they are secured loans and what was put up for it. Probably us. Congress could give a rat's ass if they can make money on it. Total losers. I pray to God 2014 shows them who their bosses are. US! We don't like the way they don't do their jobs and we want them outta there. This vote rigging bullshit has got to go. I pray Anonymous and pals can withstand their probing so we can assure a legal election.

As stated in Wikipedia...over time, the federal role in elections has increased through amendments to the Constitution and enacted legislation, such as the Voting Rights Act of 1965.[2] At least four of the fifteen post-Civil War constitutional amendments were ratified specifically to extend voting rights to different groups of citizens. These extensions state that voting rights cannot be denied or abridged based on the following:

Birth - "All persons born or naturalized" "are citizens" of the U.S. and the U.S. State where they reside (14th Amendment, 1868)
"Race, color, or previous condition of servitude" - (15th Amendment, 1870)
"On account of sex" - (19th Amendment, 1920)
In Washington, D.C., presidential elections after 164 year suspension by U.S. Congress (23rd Amendment, 1961)
(For federal elections) "By reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax" - (24th Amendment, 1964)
(For state elections) Taxes - (Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections, 383 U.S. 663 (1966))
"Who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of age" (26th Amendment, 1971).
In addition, the 17th Amendment provided for the direct election of United States Senators.

Get rid of the electoral college NOW! One person...one vote.
