From the Founder…
As we conclude the month of February. A month designated as Black History month, Citizen Voice revisits a topic dealt with in January in an edition devoted to the Civil Rights of Voters as it was linked to the efforts of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s – CSN - Citizen Voice Bulletin - Fighting for Voters’ Rights - 1/18/2024
In that edition, the Iowa Caucuses had just concluded with a victory for Donald Trump. However, it was a bittersweet victory as Trump was in the midst of numerous legal battles against him and he still is. Additionally, a number of states had been trying to remove Trump from the ballot in a presidential election year. Illinois has just made such a move as well.
Admittedly, with just two months behind us, 2024 continues to shape up as an intense election year on many levels within many social spheres. The tension is only increasing as the national election is still months away. So much speculation, misinformation, and deliberate disinformation is being flung back and forth across the nation that it boggles the minds of American citizens.
In that edition, I mentioned that “America’s future is in the hands of its citizens, and the ones who will ultimately prevail will be those who are willing to do the most to either preserve or obliterate the Republic.” In this 2024 election year, America is facing an existential crisis as the crisis is coming to a showdown between those who love the Republic and those who intend to destroy it from within, or at least weaken it from within, so our nation’s enemies can destroy the Republic. For those who are unclear, this would be the second attempt to accomplish this. The first attempt was at the time of the American Civil War, which almost escalated into a world war. The complete picture of that history remains as mere fragments.
However, the great challenges to the creation of and the continuation of the Land of the Free have always brought out the best of citizens to awaken to the clear and present dangers and to arise to take action. The ones who most loved Freedom were the ones who took action at the risk of their lives. The honest question that needs to be asked again here is: What will we do about it? Will “We the People” do enough to “Keep the Republic.” It is absolutely true that to those who have been given much, much will be expected.
Today, the Ballot Box has been transformed into "Pandora's Box," where so much of the evil erupting within our society and corrupting all spheres of our nation is originating. We're trying to get people to once again take ownership of their citizenship. Otherwise, our alternative is to get comfortable as citizens with no real representation, and without recourse for having grievances redressed, and to be considered a citizen who does not truly own any God-given rights.
This Bulletin features two articles – one from a perspective about the historical development of the one party state from the Solid South to the efforts globalists and the UnitParty are working on in our day. The article, titled “Democrats’ Bizarre Distortion of Voting Rights & Civil Rights,” was written by Jonus Freeman on the first anniversary of J6. The points made were based on the historical development of an entity known as the Democrat Party, which is essentially in its latter stages of development prior to evolution into a socialistic state and ultimately into a more or less developed state of tyranny. The sad reality is that only some people see it, but fewer are willing to talk about it and even fewer are willing to do anything about it. The article relates back to an article on Ronald Reagan that Freeman wrote earlier this year and was featured in our Founder’s Focus Citizen Voice on February 9: Reflecting on the ‘Reagan Revolution’ in the Election of ‘24
The second featured article in this edition features an article by A. Dru Kristenev that is entitled: “If Biden and dems won’t buckle, no option remains: Shutdown the government.” The author, as can be discerned from the title, has strong opinions on the current state of affairs in the nation.
Author Kristenev is a regular contributor to the Canada Free Press as well as our own Citizen Sentinels Network and maintains a solutions-centered Christian ministry: “ChangingWind.”

Democrats still have not given up on democracy, which is just another term for mob rule and retention of power at all costs
Democrats’ Bizarre Distortion of Voting Rights & Civil Rights
By Jonus Freeman ——Bio and Archives--January 6, 2022
Just after Independence Day last year, Joe Biden went to Philadelphia and gave a speech at the National Constitution Center, near Independence Hall. Imagery is quite important for the low information voters, so the photo ops were chosen well. There he declared that “The 21st century Jim Crow assault is real. It’s unrelenting. We’re gonna challenge it, vigorously.” Apparently, America will witness the challenge by an attempted linkage of voting rights to the January 6th “insurrection” if the Left has anything to claim in its arsenal of propaganda.
The overt attempt of such a linkage is to weave together some of the current running Communist-Socialist-Democrat narratives in order to create the illusion of these white supremacists led by Donald Trump trying to undermine a federal election by using violence with serious intent to harm the precious leadership elite of the nation and to overthrow the duly “elected” president. This represents an attempt at the inversion of reality, an Alinsky-esque effort to trash the truth by reversing the veracity of the events as they sequentially played out. The criminal accuses the victim of the heinous crime that the criminal committed against the victim. Alinsky must have learned it from Lucifer because that is his modus operandi.
Political-Criminal Cabal
The current propaganda, the constantly streaming Communist-Socialist-Democrat narratives are now no longer narratives to entice people to act against government, they are narratives to protect the government because they have become the government. Whether Biden or Pelosi or Schumer truly believe the propaganda is not relevant. What is relevant is that these individuals hold the levers of power, not just of their Party, but the levers of power of the nation. One must seriously ask the question: What have they done with that power since it was secured? One of the most insidious efforts of the political-criminal cabal is to push propaganda out that the January 6th “riot” or “insurrection” was one of the most serious crimes of the century. Thus, their needs to disguise and defend their own insurrection are met via this narrative. The narrative must be advanced for the protection of the political-criminal cabal.
The linkage that Biden referred to in July of last year is now being made in a lame attempt fo convince the citizens that the Administration has been victimized, and it had suffered an ignoble attack at the hands of the “Deplorables” directed by Donald Trump on January 6, 2021. This challenge to a decent democratic election, they will claim, is an affront to democracy itself. In his speech at the Constitution Center, in Biden-like fashion, without seeming to know what he was being prompted to say, he made an important point. He stated that “We are facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.” That is absolutely true in two ways, although it may not be understood in the way he intended it to come across.
First of all, to the Democrats, the concept of democracy does not align with what the Founders had perceived democracy to be. The Founders did not create a democracy; they created a Republic. They knew that a democracy in its basic state is essentially mob rule -- which is acceptable to Democrats as that is how all those lynchings of Black citizens occurred in the Deep South. Much of that was performed by the terrorist arm of the southern Democrats - the KKK. So democracy, the kind that the Democrats know and love, is being threatened by the public outcry for fair and honest elections. Biden’s Party has a priority to pass HR1/S1 because it will quickly establish a One Party nation.
What is happening in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, is a true grassroots uprising of awakened American citizens
Secondly, the most significant test to their rendition of democracy, which translates to win and maintain political power by any means necessary, is being threatened by the common citizens who are demanding fair and honest elections -- all across the nation. What is happening in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, even in California and other patriot strongholds, is a true grassroots uprising of awakened American citizens who are absolutely serious about restoring the Republic to the way it was intended to operate in alignment with the original blueprints.
This is a threat to democracy because Democrats have not respected the Constitution of the United States from the inception of their Party to this day.
Downplayed as it may be in American history, the founder and great-granddaddy of the “Democratic” Party, Andrew Jackson, destroyed the precedent established under the first six presidents, from Washington to John Quincy Adams, and reversed the policies that honored American Indian sovereignty on their homelands. In 1830, Jackson made sure that Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, which essentially stole ancestral lands of the five “civilized tribes” of the southeast region of the United States. The Indian Removal Act became quite controversial at the time and is controversial today. Jackson through his tyrannical efforts were deemed unconstitutional, but it mattered not.
The president and his Party had gotten away with a blatant and brutal redistribution of land ownership, about 100 million acres of traditional Indian lands, prime real estate across the southeastern U.S. It was the Democrats in the South, slave owners like Andrew Jackson, who refused to give up their “rights” of owning slaves, and such refusal metastasized into full-blown rejection of the Constitution via the formation of the Confederacy. Northern states, for the most part, had abolished slavery in their own time frames well before the outbreak of the Civil War. It was the Democrats in the South, who instituted Black Codes and Jim Crow laws to segregate the Blacks from the Whites, and that is institutionalized racism--government instituted, systemic racism that Democrats accuse Trump supporters of today. The linkage wears quite thin when one knows the true history of the United States rather than fabricated narratives.
Democrat Party retained the “Solid South” and exercised tyrannical power
It was the state Democrat-run governments in the Deep South that restricted the voting rights of Black citizens in the years after Reconstruction. And, it was a corrupt bargain between the Republicans and the Democrats that ended Reconstruction as one of the byproducts of deciding the outcome of the presidential election of 1876. Allegations of widespread election fraud in the election prompted the U.S. Congress to establish a special electoral commission to determine the winner. The election nightmare was ended by a backroom agreement between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and the Congressional Democrats that required Democrats to concede the presidency in exchange for Hayes to end Reconstruction. This was extremely controversial, but Hayes and the Democrats both got what they wanted. Most southern Democrat leaders were delighted when newly “elected” President Hayes promptly honored secret pledges made during the electoral dispute to withdraw federal troops from southern states and end the era of Reconstruction. From then, the white Democrat-controlled, power structure was re-invented.
The Democrat Party regained and re-established the “Solid South.” It was this society that oppressed the Blacks, not only through segregation and the Jim Crow laws, but also in voter suppression of Black citizens. Party power was defended through the suppression of the Black vote. From the corrupt election of 1876 to the 1950s, the Democrat Party retained the “Solid South” and exercised tyrannical power, especially over Black citizens. This society was what Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. witnessed in his day. The corruption and abusive tactics of state governments under Democrat control were challenged by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. who began to impact the South late in 1955 with the Montgomery Bus Boycott. King emerged as a true leader. On May 17, 1957, Dr. King traveled to Washington, D.C. to give an important speech at the Lincoln Memorial. In 1957 – years before his “I have a Dream '' speech – he addressed 25,000 civil-rights activists about restoring voting rights for the oppressed Black Population in the Democrat-controlled South.
In 2022, patriots need to re-connect to the spirit of nonviolent civil disobedience that was at the core of the Civil Rights Movement because the Democrats still have not given up on democracy, which is just another term for mob rule and retention of power at all costs. It must end in such a time as this.

The People have Speaker Johnson’s back for this battle plan and this only. The whole republican Congress must stand in accordance. No retreat, no surrender
If Biden and dems won’t buckle, no option remains: Shutdown the government
By A. Dru Kristenev ——Bio and Archives--February 28, 2024
The deadline approaches (yet again) for the House to weigh what must be done regarding government funding.
This Congress has done nothing to restrict, let alone rollback, or restore spending to pre-Covid levels. Instead, what was supposedly a republican majority in the House has allowed itself to be rolled by uniparty saboteurs.
To believe that they “escaped” from the CCP to seek “a better life” is nonsensical and insupportable
With the current budget (if it could be called that) adding one trillion dollars to the deficit approximately every 100 days, there is no time left to play numbers games, nor will the populace tolerate it.
When he landed the seat after McCarthy’s ouster, Speaker Mike Johnson made what is hoped was not an empty promise to abandon all future continuing resolutions. Thus far, he has waffled in his pledge and, against the will of the majority of constituents, championed a short-term CR that is coming to an end this week.
In the view of two-thirds of Americans, according to mainstream pollsters, the end of the road has been reached. There are no more detours available.
Despite the Biden administration braying that there has been no crisis on the border – both borders now – legal citizens realize that it’s not perfectly normal to tally four to five thousand migrant encounters a day at the southern crossings alone. And that does not include the thousands of “gotaways” that avoid ports of entry to engage in illegal activities. Hispanics are now speaking with a majority voice to close the border.
Adding to the those numbers some 44,000 Chinese nationals that Secretary Mayorkas has ushered into the country over the last three years, there is good reason to be alarmed. These are well supplied, generally strapping young men who represent the worst totalitarian regime in the world today. To believe that they “escaped” from the CCP to seek “a better life” is nonsensical and insupportable.
Americans have spoken loudly that they will not suffer one dime more being sent into the financial sieve that is Ukraine’s corrupt government
Pressure from Biden and the republic-despising “leaders” in Congress – Schumer, Jeffries and the faithless McConnell – all drama queens crying about the tragic destruction of Ukraine while enabling the catastrophic invasion of the United States, must be ignored by Speaker Johnson. House GOP has the duty to stand against the corruption of this administration and its congressional toadies, and unwaveringly support Johnson to keep him from caving to the illegitimate narrative that Ukraine is important to the USA.
Democrats and their republican partners in crime haven’t let up their refrain that Ukraine’s consequence is superior to that of this nation, that Europe will fall to the Russians if America doesn’t subsidize the futile battle. If that were true, then Europe would feel some compunction to defend itself.
Proving that isn’t true is the EU’s noncommittal attitude that Putin is a real danger. Otherwise, the EU would take measures to protect its borders, and itself supply Ukraine with aid rather than irresponsibly exploiting America’s good nature.
Americans have spoken loudly that they will not suffer one dime more being sent into the financial sieve that is Ukraine’s corrupt government.
It appears that it will take extreme action to turn off the spigot of billions of debt-generated dollars flowing through Ukraine’s ripped pockets, the money instantly and unaccountably disappearing.
That action is simple and must be accomplished despite democrats’ yowling like cats on a neighborhood fence – all noise and no fight. Just posturing, hissing, and spitting epithets.
Speaker Johnson must stand for America’s needs first and foremost
That action is no action. Speaker Johnson must stand for America’s needs first and foremost, and let the nonessential departments of government close their doors for a time. Services necessary to the government’s operation continue while the “useless eaters,” otherwise known as federal employees, are sent home to contemplate their overrated value to this nation’s functioning.
Force the issue that the border must be sealed, so those that have maneuvered themselves into positions of authority are confronted with the real power of this nation – We The People.
No options are left. No negotiations are possible with those (democrats) whose definition of compromise is the other party’s total capitulation.
Shut down the border.
Shut down nonessential government offices.
Do not send another penny to Ukraine.
No continuing resolutions.
No omnibus spending.
The People have Speaker Johnson’s back for this battle plan and this only. The whole republican Congress must stand in accordance.
No retreat, no surrender.
