Title: Should Noncitizens be Counted Towards the Census?
Topic: Census Information
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Hans von Spakovsky is the Manager of the Election Law Reform
Initiative and a Senior Fellow at The Heritage Foundation. Today,
he discusses the Equal Representation Act and how changes to the census
code could impact America’s future for generations to come.

more from Hans von Spakovsky on this and other election issues.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Does the US Constitution mandate an “actual enumeration” of the US population
for determining the number of members in the House of Representatives? Hans
explains how this was set in place in 1929 and hasn’t changed since. He also
explains how the number of Representatives each state receives is determined.
It is the intent of each census to count all souls living in an area, including
visitors, travelers, and “others”. Should those “others” be included? Who are
the “others”? Hans explains the many negative reasons why “others” should not be
included.
What is HR7109, the
Equal Representation Act?
By allowing “others” to be counted, are the political rights of American
citizens diluted? Is that fair? More importantly, is that good for America’s
future?

Title: Another Attack Against President Trump
Topic: Political Use of the Justice System
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Part 1 of 3
If we destroy the criminal and civil justice system in America, will America be able to stand?
Hans von Spakovsky is a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a former commissioner on the
Federal Election Commission, and former counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the
US Department of Justice. He is a member of the board of the
Public Interest Legal Foundation.
Today, Hans discusses the blatant bias and undeserved attacks on President Donald Trump, specifically by Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis.
Click

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are citizens free to speak, engage in political activity, and petition the government for a redress of grievances? Is this freedom to speak protected by the First Amendment?
Are lawyers tasked with vigorously pursuing the interests of their clients? Are lawyers obligated to represent the interests of their clients to the best of their ability – regardless of the lawyer’s personal beliefs?
If we continue to allow the criminal and civil justice system in America to be attacked and undermined, will we survive?
Have other political candidates ever questioned the outcome of an election? Hans von Spakovsky reminds us that Stacey Abrams ran for Governor in Georgia TWICE and lost TWICE and consistently claimed that the election was rigged and stolen from her. Plus, many, many others have done the same thing, including Hillary Clinton!

Title: Who’s Counting: The Problem with Mass Mail-In Ballots
Topic: Mail-in Ballots
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Part 1 of 2
Joseph Stalin once stated: "It is enough that the people know there was an
election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who
count the
votes decide everything."
Is there danger in putting a Presidential Election in the hands of the U.S.
Postal Service?
If we can shop in-person, shouldn’t we be able to vote in-person?
FACT: There were over 6.5 million ballots misdirected or unaccounted for by
various states in the 2016 Presidential Election.
Hans von Spakovsky discusses this serious issue today, specifically questions
regarding the “safety” of voting in-person. Hans book, “Who’s Counting: How
Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk”, can be found
here.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Where is the PROOF that millions of mail-in ballots from the 2016 Presidential
Election are unaccounted for?
Does President Trump have the power and authority to delay the upcoming November
Election?
Why are Democrats pushing so hard for total mail-in votes across the nation?
Hans urges people to look at the bigger picture; it’s not just about the
election.
What are some of President Trump’s concerns about mail-in voting? Are those
concerns valid?

Hans uses New York as an example. They held their Primary on June 23. (Remember:
Primary Elections have a much lower voter turnout than General Elections,
especially Presidential General Elections.) They just finished counting the
ballots a few days ago! That is absolutely ridiculous!

Title: What Everyone Should Know about Impeachment
Topic: Impeachment
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Part 1 of 3
The Constitution gives the sole Power of Impeachment to the House, which can approve articles of impeachment by a simple majority.
As a practical matter, the category of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” (directly from the Founding Fathers) includes whatever the House says it does.
Today, Hans von Spakovsky explains what impeachment means to the Administration and the American people. Hans is the Former Federal Election Commissioner and a member of the American Civil Rights Union Board. He is also the manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and a senior legal fellow at
The Heritage Foundation.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What is an “Impeachment Inquiry”?
Who were the last two Presidents who were investigated for impeachment?
What are the stipulations for impeachment of a President?
How many votes are required from the House for impeachment?
Are Articles of Impeachment similar to a criminal indictment by a grand jury? Could Articles of Impeachment also be called accusations, while not proving guilt?
Does the President have the opportunity to refute any impeachment allegations before the House? Will the minority in the House (Republicans) have an opportunity to question witnesses? This has a complicated answer…
Historically, how many resolutions of impeachment have been introduced in the House, and how many have been adopted?

Can a member of the Senate move to dismiss the impeachment charges?
If allowed, should President Trump argue his case before a committee or the full
Senate?

Title: Only in America: Census Question Controversy
Topic: Census Citizenship Question
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Foreign observers must be shaking their heads in disbelief that adding a
citizenship question to the U.S. census has proved so controversial as to result
in litigation.
Hans von Spakovsky is the manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative and a
senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why is a census important?
Why is there a nationwide census every 10 years?
Does the population of an area directly affect welfare programs offered by the
government?
When did the United States first implement a citizen question on the national
census? Is this a new idea?
Do other countries require a citizenship question on their census? Does the U.N.
even recommend that member countries ask census questions identifying both an
individual’s country of birth and country of citizenship?
Is there any evidence that households containing non-citizens are more likely
not to respond at all to the required census completion?
What states are arguing in court against citizenship questions being included in
the census form for 2020?
Who will determine whether or not a citizenship question will be included in the
next census?

Topic: Voter Fraud: Legalized!
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Pelosi, AOC, and other Democrats recently passed HR1 in the House of
Representatives. HR1 is an attempt to federalize and micromanage
the election process and impose unnecessary, unwise, and in some cases,
unconstitutional mandates on the states.
Hans von Spakovsky explains HR1 and the ramifications it will produce if passed…
Questions/Issues Discussed:
HR1 passed in the House. What is the status in the Senate?
Why is HR1 so long?
Does HR1 allow for MORE voter fraud WITHOUT penalty?
Hans von Spakovsky reveals that HR1 would also:
1. Strike all state laws requiring voter ID
2. Allow anyone to vote without an ID
3. Disallow states to purge voter roles
4. Federalize the drawing of district lines
5. Federalize and mandate when voters can vote
6. Mandates all states allow same-day voter registration

Hans von Spakovsky offers details about updates to the new Census questionnaire.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why does the United States perform a census every ten years?
What is the American Community Survey? Listen as Hans von Spakovsky
reveals questions and details from the ACS…
The Trump administration and the Commerce Department reinstated a citizenship
question on the 2020 census form. Is there historical precedence for this?
Has the ACS replaced the census form?
What is the current status of Trump’s new census questionnaire?
When Eric Holder was the Attorney General, did he object to the citizen question
on the ACS?
What’s the beef against using the citizenship question on the upcoming 2020
Census form? Is the Left just afraid of the truth?
Does any other country in the world count noncitizens in their census count?

Title: The Caravan Invasion
Topic: Illegal Immigration
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Hans von Spakovsky recently wrote: “Immigration is an important issue to many Americans and the sight of such caravans of migrants led by far left activists and politicians who disregard any and all immigration laws is certainly part of the political debate in the US… There is no universal right to cross any border and most Americans reject the progressive demand for open borders...”
Hans is the Election Law Reform Initiative and Senior Legal Fellow at the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at
The Heritage Foundation. Listen now as he discusses the issue…
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are the caravan promoters and organizers more interested in weaponizing the poor instead of helping the poor?
Is illegal immigration an important issue to many Americans?
Can the United States take in every poor person that wants to come to America? Hans response is perfect: “No. If we opened our borders, half of the world would leave the countries they are in to come here.” And he is right!
In the past, immigrants were required to have a sponsor who was financially responsible for the immigrant for a number of years. When did this practice stop?
Do many who travel to America on visas just stay here once they have expired?
What can and should President Trump do about the caravan headed to the US-Mexican border? One suggestion that Hans von Spakovsky has is fining and prosecuting employers who willingly and knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Listen as he explains…
Who are the finances, organizers, and promoters of the caravan? Has this information been proven?

Topic: Illegal Immigration
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.
Texas Democrats have recklessly called to decriminalize illegal immigration. Beto O’Rouke (opponent to Ted Cruz) has aligned himself with this philosophy.
THIS IS A DANGER TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
The Texas Department of Public Safety (the DPS) released a
report
detailing crimes committed against the citizens of Texas by illegal immigrants.
Hans von Spakovsky is a Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. He has URGENT information that you must heed and share with your friends IMMEDIATELY.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Of the more than 175,000 illegal immigrants booked into Texas jails between June 1, 2011 and July 31, 2018, what crimes have they been charged with?
How many crimes does this come to? HINT: It’s a lot!
Do these numbers include Federal crimes? HINT: NOPE!
How many cases are still pending? HINT: This is a lot, too!
Have Texas Democrats really called to decriminalize illegal immigration?

Title: SCOTUS Ruling on Voter Rolls
Topic: OK to Purge Voter Rolls
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Part 1 of 2
Hans von Spakovsky offers an update today on the recent SCOTUS decision regarding voter registration laws…
Hans is a Senior Legal Fellow in The Heritage Foundation, managing the Election Law Reform Initiative. He is also an authority on a wide range of issues – including civil rights, civil justice, the First Amendment, immigration, the rule of law, and government reform.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Can a state take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of its voter rolls by removing voters who have left the jurisdiction?
What process did Ohio Legislators create? Did liberal groups cry foul? How did SCOTUS rule regarding the Constitutionality of the law?
The Harris County (Tax Assessor) Voter Registrar refuses to purge registered voters who have stated they are not citizens to get out of jury duty. They have even signed the form stating so. But the Democrat refuses to obey the law, and has been taken to court. Will a Judge just look the other way and let her off and give her a green light to just keep on breaking the law?
How important are accurate and up-to-date voter registration records?

Title: Facebook Favors
Topic: Facebook Favored Obama With Your Data
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Both the 2012 Obama Campaign and 2016 Trump Campaign acquired information from
Facebook in order to target ads to a specific demographic. However, one did so illegally and the other did legally.
Hans von Spakovsky is a Senior Fellow with The Heritage Foundation. He recently wrote an op-ed for FoxNews entitled “Did Facebook’s
‘Favors’ for the Obama Campaign Constitute a Violation of Federal Law?”. Get the scoop here!
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Did Facebook favor the 2012 Obama Campaign? If so, were their actions against any Federal Law?
In contrast, how did the 2016 Trump Campaign obtain information from Facebook? Were their actions illegal?
Does Facebook sell information to marketers? Is this how the Trump Campaign received their information about
Facebook users?
Can corporations or small business offer “favors” to political campaigns, such as offering data from websites?
How is this different from a monetary contribution to a political campaign?
What is the Federal Election Commission?
Is the MSM reporting on this story? HINT: Nope!

Title: First Amendment Rights in the Voting Booth
Topic: Free Speech Rights
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Should the Supreme Court side with a voter named Andy Cilek and anyone else who wants to wear their NRA, Second Amendment, #MeToo, or Gadsden-flag T-shirt when they go to vote?
Where should our First Amendment Rights begin and end at the polling location?
Hans von Spakovsky recently wrote an
editorial on this issue: “The Court Must Preserve Minnesota Voters’ First Amendment Rights”.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is a simple message on a T-shirt really that intimidating or coercive?
Did US Supreme Court Justices on both sides chime in with pointed questions?
Is the law too broadly written?
Listen as Hans discusses Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s opinion on the issue…
Is there an indication of how the Minnesota Supreme Court will vote on this issue?
Hans testified a few years ago regarding the Black Panthers who stood outside polling locations in Pennsylvania intimidating voters. What was the outcome of that case?

Topic: National Security
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Is fake news putting our national security at risk?
Hans von Spakovsky says it
is!
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Does our government listen in to our conversations? And if so, what do they
listen to? Is a warrant necessary prior to listening?
Why was there such a buzz over Michael Flynn’s resignation and his connections
to Russia?
What is the Logan Act of 1799? Has anyone ever been prosecuted under this law?
Will there be charges against Michael Flynn, or the Trump Administration more
focused on finding the person who leaked the information?
Are there “good leaks” and are there “bad leaks”?
Should Donald Trump continue to battle back against the MSM?

Title: How Does Voter Fraud Affect YOUR Vote?
Topic: Voter Fraud
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Hans von Spakovsky is a Senior Legal Fellow at The Heritage Foundation
and former Justice Department official.
Along with John Fund, Hans is the co-author of “Who’s Counting? How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk” and “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”
You can get your copies
here.
Today, Hans von Spakovsky will be discussing how voter fraud affects your vote.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
First…A backstory of how and why Hans von Spakovsky worked for the Justice Department. After all, he IS a Conservative…He states: “Nowhere did I ever encounter such radical, left-wing ideology as in the voting section of the Civil Rights Division.”
Do American voting jurisdictions operate on the “honor system” when it comes to registering to vote and actually voting? In other words, are voting applications checked to make sure the applicant is an American citizen and legally allowed to vote? And, are people “vetted” at the voting location to ensure they are who they claim to be?
Note: Not all states require photo ID to vote; only a verbal “I am so-and-so” is enough to cast a vote.
Is this same type of “honor system” used in other countries to register voters? Or are their voting laws stricter?
Democrat pundits, along with the MSM, are crying, saying Trump is wrong and there is not massive voter fraud. However, Hans knows of many instances where voter fraud has occurred and discusses several cases.
Is there anything stopping non-citizens from registering to vote? Is there anything stopping these illegals from voting?
What are the various methods a person can commit voter fraud?
How many legal Americans are registered to vote in multiple states?
How does Hans von Spakovsky believe the Trump Administration will enforce voter fraud laws?

Topic: Donald Trump
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
President-elect Donald Trump certainly has his work cut out for him.
Undoing all of the damage done by President Barack Obama over the past eight
years will certainly be a challenge.
Hans von Spakovsky is a Senior Legal Fellow with The Heritage Foundation.
Listen in as he discusses some of the obstacles Donald Trump will face and what
Conservatives can do to help.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Have Conservative bureaucrats like Hans von Spakovsky often been bullied into
silence?
Are entrenched federal bureaucrats really locking arms, chanting: “He’s not
my President!”?
Are the bureaucracies of these agencies virtually immune to being fired?
Will the left do everything possible to stop President Trump’s policies?
What can Conservative voters do to encourage Donald Trump and other elected
officials to keep pushing forward to stop the left?
Can Conservative lawmakers put a freeze on hiring throughout federal agencies?

Title: Smoke and Mirrors
Topic: Gun Control
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Taking Away Constitutional Rights at the Discretion of the Government.
The latest “gun control” proposal being put forward by Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) is a “measure that would block people on the Transportation Security Administration’s no–fly list from buying firearms” according to ABC News.
Hans von Spakovsky says there is one problem with this proposal: It is
unconstitutional. Listen in as he and Terry discuss this issue. You can find his
article
here.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What does Senator Collins’ proposal ‘really’ mean?
Who is on the “No-Fly List”, who is in charge of it, and why is it so secretive?
What must we do to keep guns away from terrorists? NOTE: The FBI is not allowed to do any type of surveillance at Mosques in the US. The FBI is not allowed to look at social media, either, of Islamists.
Too many people are afraid of being labeled as a bigot, therefore we are facing this deadly issue today. Can you imagine the outcry, however, if Congress took away a person’s right to vote, too?

Title: Right to Carry Axed
Topic: Gun Rights
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
The Second Amendment becomes a second class right in California. We
want to be respectful for those injured and the families of those killed in
Orlando during this interview. Please keep an open heart and an open mind when
listening to this segment.
Hans von Spakovsky is here to discuss the decision by the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals in California which states: “The Second Amendment does not preserve
or protect a right of a member of the general public to carry concealed firearms
in public.”
Questions/Issues Discussed:
What was the original purpose of the Second Amendment?
What did The 9th Circuit base its conclusion on?
One exception is for someone who has “good cause” or a specific documented
threat against their safety and well-being. Living in a “bad neighborhood” is
not sufficient enough. Listen in as Hans von Spakovsky explains more about the
few exemptions the Court allowed for and why they really don’t even matter.
What is meant by the 9th Circuit Court relying an “overwhelming consensus of
historical sources”? HINT: It dates back to 1299 in England! Seriously. We are
not kidding.
Will this eventually make its way to the US Supreme Court?
Do elections matter?

Title: Climate Change Deniers Being Investigated
Topic: Jail Climate Change Deniers
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Reasonable minds can disagree about the science behind global warming, and
disagree they do. This type of scientific and political debate is healthy and
should be encouraged. However, those who do not study history and do not heed
its warnings are bound to repeats its mistakes.
Hans Von Spakovsky is an expert on Civil Justice Reform, Legal Issues, and
Elections at the Heritage Foundation. Today, he is here to discuss a recent
decision by a coalition of fifteen state Attorney Generals, as well the AG’s
from the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. It is important to note
that all but one are Democrats.
On March 29, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said, “The bottom line
is simple: Climate change is real.” He went on to say that if companies are
committing fraud by “lying” about the dangers of climate change, they will
“pursue them to the fullest extent of the law.” In fact, the AG from the Virgin
Islands, Claude Walker (the lone Independent in the group) has filed a subpoena
for all documents from the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Hans Von Spakovsky explains that the fourteen-page subpoena is a “voluminous
document asking for everything, including private donor information.” He goes on
to say, “It is an unbelievable abuse of the First Amendment and clearly intended
to intimidate and deter a think-tank from doing research on this issue.” Listen
in as Hans uses the Spanish Inquisition of 1478 as a way to compare the leaders
then to those who are pushing this illegal bullying tactic upon honest,
hard-working, intelligent people now.
Is catastrophic, man-made climate change occurring? I doubt there is a
reasonable person who listens to the What’s UP Radio Program who will deny that
climate change is occurring – day to day, month to month, year to year. Climate
changes. However, the issue at hand is the impact that humans have on the
temperature. The environmentalists just don’t really know what to do because all
of their computer models for decades have been wrong about future weather
patterns! So, now, they are looking for a scapegoat and that is the “climate
change denier”. “They have no shame,” Hans states sadly.

Title: Is the Obama Administration Encouraging Illegals to Vote?
Topic: Voter Fraud
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Returning guest Hans von Spakovsky has bombshell theory about the upcoming
elections and the Obama Administration’s push to allow illegal immigrants the
right to vote. There are many reasons this is a horrible idea. Hans first
explains how groups like the League of Women Voters are fighting for voting
rights for “entrants” into the United States (i.e.: illegal immigrants). (Hans
discusses more about the League of Women Voters later in the segment and you
might be surprised at what he reveals! Listen in!)
Bonus Fact: Only four states (Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, and Kansas) currently
have laws which require voter registration applicants to prove they are a United
States citizen.
One reason this has become such a hot-topic issue is that every state currently
has different voting requirements. “Federal Bureaucrats in Washington,
specifically those friendly with the Obama Administration, do not want states to
have any ability to verify the citizenship of those registering to vote,” Hans
believes.
It is becoming more common across the country for the Obama Administration to
fight the local registrar offices for this very reason. It’s just getting out of
control! Listen in as Hans explains exactly what they have been trying to do
everywhere. No other country in the world would allow this kind of asinine
behavior within their voting system and Hans shares how “South Africa has a big
voter ID requirement”. Listen in as he reveals what it is!
Hans encourages everyone – even you, the average voter – to pay close attention
to what is happening at the polls. If something seems fishy, report it! Also, do
not be afraid to call or email your elected officials, urging them to require
valid citizenship in order to register to vote. Furthermore, Voter ID Laws is
not discrimination! It’s common sense protection of our rights.

Title: Planned Parenthood’s Behind the Curtain Antics
Topic: Planned Parenthood
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young
children. Although it is important to discuss with our children the horrific
reality that abortion exists in our world, many parents might not want the
littlest ears to hear this information.
The indictments against David Deleiden and Sandra Merritt from a Harris County
Grand Jury are: UNSEALED: A second-degree felony for “tampering with a
government record”; and SEALED (not yet unsealed at the time of recording): A
misdemeanor charge for violating the state’s “prohibition of the purchase and
sale of human organs”.
Han von Spakovsky is with the Heritage Foundation. He is a former
attorney with the Justice Department. He says this “whole case is just
bizarre”. The videos that the Center for Medical Progress made while
undercover at various Planned Parenthood facilities clearly show that there was
haggling going on. “The Texas statute makes it illegal to buy or sell or
offer human organs,” he says. “But that is exactly what Planned
Parenthood is doing.” He goes to say that, “The conclusion that this
Grand Jury came to does not make sense under the fact or under the law.”
If the Harris County Grand Jury can hand down an indictment against Deleiden and
Merritt for offering to buy baby body parts (not really, but you know what we
mean) – why won’t the Grand Jury indict Planned Parenthood for offering to sell
them?! You can’t have one without the other! Listen in as Hans Von Spakovsky
explains the Texas Statute further and why no reasonable jury should have
indicted the filmmakers.
It is a FACT that one of the Harris County Assistant District Attorneys is on
the board at the very Planned Parenthood that was involved in this
case! Even though she wasn’t directly involved with this case – she still works
in the same office!
Terry and Hans discuss more details about the Grand Jury, the District Attorney
Devon Anderson’s involvement, and the case in general. Terry points out that,
while the Grand Jury was paneled in October of 2015, the DA’s did not go to the
Grand Jury until December. This is important to note because the law changed
January 1, 2016, concerning the manner in which Gran Jurors are chosen. Listen
as he explains.
FACT: Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson reported a Fourth
Quarter filing contributions totaling $210,000 from a local car dealer Don
McGill. Why is this important? She’s unopposed in the Republican Primary! Listen
in as Terry reveals the name of a person who is on the board at the Gulf Coast
Planned Parenthood…Lauri McGill…any relation?
This whole case is going to dramatically affect the way investigative
journalists do their job. Take 60 Minutes, for example. Hans points out that, “They’ve
made their reputation by making these undercover sting operations! They are
clearly going after the messenger instead of the wrongdoer.”

Title: Hillary Clinton has it All Wrong
Topic: Hillary Clinton
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Hillary Clinton made so many false assertions about voting in the
speech she gave at Texas Southern University that it’s hard to know where to
start. Contrary to her contention, no barriers are being imposed
on eligible Americans that prevent them from easily registering and voting in
our elections.
Hans Von Spakovsky is with us today to examine Clinton’s claims in light of the
facts. He compares Texas to New York in the 2014 Election. He points out that
voter ID does not keep people away from the polls. He also believes that anytime
a van-full of white people unload to vote in a black neighborhood, their
eligibility should be questioned. And vice versa: If a van-load of blacks come
to a white neighborhood to vote, their eligibility should be questioned.
Bottom line: Hillary is just trying to scare voters, especially young minority
people. She is also attempting to get a federal law in place allowing all
convicted felons the right to vote. Currently, this decision is left up to the
discretion of each individual state.
Listen in as Hans Von Spakovsky discusses some of Hillary’s beliefs concerning
voting and why it should worry every Conservative.

Title: Don't Mess with Texas!
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
The Obama administration has laid their cards face-up on the table concerning
amnesty. Hans Von Spakovsky discusses the appeal the Obama administration filed
on February 23 with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, asking
the judge to stay the appeal he just granted.
Hans says they have included some completely off-the-wall and bizarre items in
their injunction. For example, the head of the border control said that if they
cannot implement the OPEN BORDERS, it will harm border security! How? What? Why?
That doesn’t even make sense! Listen in as Hans breaks this one down.
Furthermore, there is not a single mention in Obama’s amnesty law allowing for
money to tighten the security on the border. Not a single penny is to be spent
stopping illegals from crossing the border. In fact, Hans says, “We are using
the entire bureaucratic structure to process the applications of 5 million
illegal aliens, issuing social security numbers and work permits to them.”
They think the American people are just plain stupid and thought they could get
away with this kind of crazy stuff. Well guess what! We’re not giving up and we
won’t give in!! America is still the greatest country in the world. We still
welcome LEGAL immigrants from around the world with open arms. However, “If the
elite, rich, and powerful begin to make their own laws”, Hans says, “America
will be ruined. And that is the road this President has set us on.”

Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
Part 1 of 3
Eighteen states are suing the federal government in federal court in Texas
over President Obama's amnesty plan. More could be added to the lawsuit. Some
people say “So what?” Here’s why it matters…
First, the US Supreme Court requires individual states to pay for all education
costs for children in the US illegally. Second, the US Supreme Court obligates
each individual state to pay for all health care costs for everyone in the US
illegally. Third, the US Supreme Court has prohibited individual states from
building their own fence to deter illegal immigrants from coming into the US.
Obama himself has even stated, on record, that he doesn’t have the power to
grant blanket amnesty to millions of illegals! Listen in as Hans von Spakovsky
explains the situation we are in and why these eighteen states are suing the

Title: Photo ID is Not Unconstitutional
Topic: Photo ID
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
“Voter fraud doesn’t exist!” so says the left. “Showing photo ID is racist!”
so says the left. “Proving citizenship is a poll tax!” so says the left. “Voter
turnout will be criminally low!” so says the left.
Why is the left so fearful of new Photo ID laws? After all, it’s always been a
requirement to show some form of government documentation to vote. You have to
show Photo ID to purchase alcohol, fill a prescription, cash a check, go to the
hospital or doctor. What is the big deal about voting?
One of the left’s biggest claims concerning Photo ID Laws is “low voter
turnout”. However, Hans Von Spakovsky says that voter turnout actually doubled
in Texas during the last election cycle. In fact, in some counties voter turnout
doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled! Those crazy Democrats just don’t know how
to add. Did they study Common Core…?
Other states that have Photo ID Laws show the same type of increase in voter
turnout as Texas has. Voter suppression has not occurred. People don’t stay
home. But the opponents keep using Photo ID laws as a scare tactic and a
fundraiser scheme. There has been a long history of voter fraud in the democrat
party. Now that they know we are watching them, they are crying racism.
If you’re not sure if you have the right type of Photo ID to vote in this
election, click on the “LINK Letter” tab on the home page and follow the link
for the 2014 LINK Letter, Primary Edition. The Photo ID information is listed on
page 3.
