Clicking Goose Steps May Resound in Wisconsin

The Attorney General of Wisconsin, J.B. Van Hollen has decided that he must send special agents and prosecutors from the Wisconsin Dept. of Justice, Criminal Division, to prevent possible voter fraud at his selected polling places at the national election next Tuesday. To my knowledge this would be a first for our state, or for any state in the USA, to use agents from the Criminal Justice Department to police a voting process. Our state Senator Russ Feingold has written a letter to Van Hollen requesting that he reconsider his decision. Feingold stated in his letter that the presence of these agents will intimidate voters by their presence alone, and he should refrain from taking such action. Van Hollen has not responded to Sen. Feingold's letter, yet.

If Van Hollen acts as he plans, his actions will represent a "Nazi-like" action that defies our Constitutional right to vote freely and unimpeded. Apparently, Van Hollen believes that his actions are a preemptive strike against possible fraud, even though none is evident. Well Atty. Gen Van Hollen, how about taking preemptive action against your intrusion on our right to vote without being intimidated by your storm troopers? Liberty and freedom is still alive and well in our state , no thanks to you, if you follow through with your "Clicking Goose Steps" resounding against peaceful voters whose intent is to vote without your surveillance, as our Constitution provides. Your duty to our state and country is to uphold the Constitution, not trash it with political storm trooper's who will screen the voters to try to assure that your Republican backers prevail.
