Carreau doesn't understand Constitution

October 18, 2013

Mr Carreau, this is America, land of the free. The Constitution that you obviously don't understand gives everyone over 18 the right to vote. It is our unalienable right. You say that you don't know how to qualify voters. It is not your job!

What makes anyone think they are superior to others, and only people who think just like them should be allowed to vote. If this were true we would not need elections. I thank God I live in a Democracy.

If a national party cannot win a presidential election on their own merits, we should not change the rules so they can.

See you at the polls.
