California Attempts to Limit Presidential Candidates

Image result for Vote

According to a recent article in New York Magazine , the California Senate passed a bill which may have sweeping effects on presidential elections.  Targeted at president Trump, the bill requires presidential candidates to release five years of personal income tax returns in order to be placed on presidential primary ballots.  As many as 24 other states are contemplating similar laws.

There is a question as to whether such a law is constitutional.  As a general rule, individual states are not allowed to add qualifications for president not outlined in the Constitution.  That is why there are several states where there will be a presidential candidate representing an alternative party, but no other candidates of that party for other office on the ballot.   If it is allowed, expect similar bills in other states that will have the requisite "does not apply" to the "two largest parties."

Conscious Conservatives are in favor of ballot access for all candidates that meet the basic qualifications outline in the Constitution.  Manipulation and game playing with the voting process by the Republican and Democratic Parties must stop.

  1. The RADICAL Democratic Leadership, are continually lying, manipulating and gaslighting.
    They already said when PT was elected that no way, no how, will they accept PT, not today, not tomorrow, and not ever, even if he walked on water or cured cancer.
    But, I have a feeling no matter who the Republican President would have been, the outcome would have been the same to the RDL.
    The RDL have decided that they will NOT stop at any cost... including underhanded and dirty tactics and manipulation to change the foundation and meaning of the USA.
    God help us ALL if and when the RDL and their memes ever get ahold of the reins for our country.
