"Get Out of Dodge!"

Do you remember Matt Dillon? Matt was the U.S. Marshall in Dodge City on the television show “Gun Smoke”; the toughest, roughest, most honest, quickest draw in the entire “T.V. West”. No matter what the odds were, Matt Dillon stood against those who chose the life of the outlaw. He always took the side of “law and order”. Matt took his “oath” seriously and gave every citizen of Dodge City equal protection under the law. He often said things like this; “As long as I wear this badge, everybody in Dodge will be treated fairly no matter who they are!” Matt Dillon was a lawman who stood by his principles and the public trust he held. I certainly wish every person who had the power and responsibility to uphold the law, had the integrity of Matt Dillon.

The Chief Legal Officer of the United States is our Attorney General. This is an office of great responsibility; every citizen depends on this official to follow the laws of the land, and enforce them without prejudice, regardless of race, creed or political affiliation. Everything that is done from this high office should be done within the boundaries of the United States Constitution in all of its amendments and initial rights. No crime should be overlooked nor, should there be any selective enforcement of any law. The Attorney General of the United States should be America’s “Matt Dillon”.

Our present Attorney General is Eric Holder. Our current Attorney General is now under questioning from a Congressional Committee for withholding evidence in a Congressional Investigation in the “Fast and Furious” scandal, and is being considered for a Contempt of Congress charge. Mr. Holder has also been under scrutiny for failure to prosecute voter intimidation against New Black Panthers in the last Presidential Election. Former members of the Justice Department have testified to a policy of non-prosecution of “black” alleged offenders in any case.

Our most important franchise is our right to vote. The Florida Attorney General is trying to institute a program to find out who all the legal voters are in that state, and have requested information from the Federal Government to verify citizenship so they can “clean up” any illegal voters. This policy is being fought by the United States Attorney General’s Office! Somehow, our current Attorney General feels it is a Civil Rights infringement to inquire about legal citizenship when allowing someone to vote in an election. Now, I may just be a “country boy” from a Mid-West town, but I’m pretty sure this is part of Mr. Holder’s job. Anything that insures our election process is legal and above board, is a good thing. I’m sure I’m not the only American that wants only American citizens voting in our elections. NOBODY ELSE HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS, BUT AMERICANS!!

Do any of you find it unusual that our current Attorney General refuses to prosecute those who intimidate voters, yet files suit against a state that is trying to promote legality in the election process? What agenda is Mr. Holder pursuing? Does Mr. Holder believe people other than legal American citizens should be allowed to vote in our election? Why is he against “cleaning up” the voting rolls to insure the integrity of any elections in any part of America?

The real question is “Should Eric Holder remain the Attorney General of the United States of America?” I don’t think he measures up to “Matt Dillon”!
