So that people have won runoffs getting fewer votes than they had coming second in a regular election.  So if your goal is actually expanding the so called democratic process, runoff elections both in the United States and France have not demonstrated they actually do that. You got to come up with a better way than that. http://askyourlawmaker.org/answers/%2526lt%3Bp%2526gt%3Bone-problems-you-have-if-your-goals-democracy-usually-runoffs%2C-history-runoffs%2C-the http://askyourlawmaker.org/answers/%2526lt%3Bp%2526gt%3Bone-problems-you-have-if-your-goals-democracy-usually-runoffs%2C-history-runoffs%2C-the#comments Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:38:08 -0500 amukherjee 1534 at http://askyourlawmaker.org Nobody believes, certainly I don’t that you can just build a fence, pat yourself on the back and say ‘hey, look we secured the border’ because people can cut holes in fences, they can come over it and they can come around it. So, you need to have a solution comprised of people, technology and in some places physical barriers- but it’s got to be a combination. http://askyourlawmaker.org/answers/nobody-believes%2C-certainly-i-don%E2%80%99t-you-can-just-build-fence%2C-pat-yourself-back-and-say-%E2%80%98hey%2C Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:57:00 -0500 Jodi Breisler 1241 at http://askyourlawmaker.org Baca: Whatever we can do it terms of the legislator, we must begin to communicate and enforce the kinds of laws that are there. And it’s done through city ordinance at the local level or county depending whether it’s a city or a county, incorporated areas to make sure people have access. And that’s why it’s important that we deal with the Disability Act and I support it. Cause, what if it was me or what if it was you that couldn’t get there and we wanted information and we wanted to have access and we wanted to participate. You know, it’s part of the American dream is that we all want to be equal and the only way to do that is to begin to treat us with the same equality that others have because they have the access and just cause we don’t have the access that means we’re deprived of information, we’re deprived of privileges, we’re deprived of enjoying the same freedoms that others enjoy and we should make sure we do that they do as well. Breisler: So Congress just keeps a strong Disabilities Act? Baca: Strong Disability Act. Continuing to help those not as fortunate as us. Remember, someone didn’t ask to be that way. And God told us to make sure that we treat everybody fairly and equally. http://askyourlawmaker.org/answers/%2526lt%3Bp%2526gt%3B%2526lt%3Bb%2526gt%3Bbaca%3A%2526lt%3B/b%2526gt%3B-whatever-we-can-do-it-terms-legislator%2C-we-must-begin-comm Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:49:06 -0500 Jodi Breisler 1243 at http://askyourlawmaker.org These are not giveaways.
