AB 459 to Kill California Middle Class

NPV (National Popular Vote) Presses for a One-Party America

Lorraine Yapps Cohen
They're at it again. Moneyed powerful Democrats plan to wipe out the middle class in California. Here's how they aim to do it.

Kill AB 459 before it kills you

California Assemblyman Dan Logue (R) says Assembly Bill 459 comes up soon for full vote by the California Legislature. The bill has to do with the National Popular Vote (NPV).

NPV is a movement started nowhere else but the dyed-in-the-wool Democrat city of San Francisco. The measure would do away with the Electoral College, focus power in Federal government, strip states of their constitutional say in the nation, and ensure the election of Democrat presidents.

Death knell for GOP

Passage of AB 459 in California would sign up the state for that disastrous change. In addition, it would wield a death blow to the Republican Party in California, Logue believes, squashing any GOP gains in state legislation or constitutional offices.

Ruling elite for perpetuating poverty

It's no secret that Democrat elites rule over Californians depending on government. It's a relationship for votes. The relationship keeps elite Democrats in money and power in exchange for government's support of lower classes and unionized labor. Their bought votes keep Democrats in power; dependence on government keeps the working poor in poverty. Why don't Californians "get" that?

Death knell for middle class in California

The despotic relationship survives at the expense of the middle class--those businesses and workers who actually work to produce value. California's taxes and regulations punish them the most. Their profits are confiscated legally.

When they've had enough, businesses leave the state, in essence voting with their feet. Their real votes, typically aligned with the GOP, diminish and eventually die out. In effect, AB 459 would be killing California's middle class.

-- and elsewhere

If AB 459 is passed, it will perpetuate the middle class exodus out of California. If similar legislation in other states passes as well, National Popular Vote becomes operational, ensuring the perpetual election of Democrat presidents and promoting a one-party America.

Red states representing middle class America would be squeezed out of their say in national elections. NPV consolidates power in the federal government as opposed to the states. This, in effect, not only wipes out the middle class in California but also citizens who make their own way in middle America too. I won't mention how contrary it is to the founding principles of our consitutional government.

Adios, AB 459

This is what Democrats aim to do, starting in already blue California. If you are a middle class American--and most of us are--tell me why you wouldn't fight to kill AB 459 right here in the state right now.

    You don't dare mean to say that Democrats are foul and want to win at all costs, the Constitution and the lives of millions be damned, right? 'Bout now seems a wonderful time for that legendary and totally unreal thingy where California falls off into the ocean...say at the bottom of that uber deep Catalina Channel! No worries though...little slimy things like anyone that would favor such a measure can prolly slither back to land like the fing slugs they are...course their trail will make them easy to follow and pour salt on...BIG FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I meant, "They think we ARE all stupid." (We are all tired!)

    Well done, and thanks Lorraine!

    This is the first I've heard of it. Of course, I don't live in California anymore, so I don't really keep up with their politics. It's a shame what California is doing to itself. I lived there for 7 years. It's a beautiful state, particularly the city of Monterey (where I lived). Anyway, I don't think laws like this will pass in MOST other states, though the "Northeastern Bloc" would be susceptible to it.

    Playing devil's advocate here – what's wrong with ONE government that works for ALL people. We are a UNITED States after all, divided by our political views, our religious convictions, and our personal issues. I'd love to see us more united than divisive. I'd love for this country to be BY the people FOR the people and OF the people instead of BY the interest groups FOR the top 1% earners, and OF the politicians.

    Oh boy...I always knew this was coming. Bye-Bye democracy...that is, if the world doesn't end tomorrow! Just sent you a PM. Forgot to include an apology that I am so slow to get around and comment! So many things to write...so little time to socialize!

    Dem presidents have won, like Bill, with less than the most popular votes. The press just doesn't broadcast it, except at maybe a whisper. NPV just gets most of the attention of politicians drawn to big states like California and New York.

    There is a lot of sandy desert open in Nevada if you can convince BLM you are not a horse and will not guzzle the water.
