22. So what's next...a poll tax???
No representation without taxation! Three cheers for cutthroat Gov. Locke..."Washington Gov. Gary Locke, head of the Democratic Governors Association, is calling a special session to discuss scrapping his state's primary next year.

'Why waste $7 million of scarce state money?' Locke said. Democrats in Washington state are using precinct caucuses in February to allocate national convention delegates, making the March 2 primary pointless"


Why indeed...could it be because we pay the taxes and we vote in the primaries? Could it be because we are the party, and a party is nothing without us? Could it be because we pay for law and government, but law and government are nothing without us? Could it be because democracy will never be stopped..only the government which cuts its own throat?
