Both the New York State and Connecticut Democratic Committees are threatening people into voting on Tuesday by sending bullying letters that claim they can easily determine which potential voters failed to cast ballots. The New York Post confirms tweets sent out by New York voters with photos of the threatening letters. “Who you vote for is your secret,” the letter reads. “But whether or not you vote is public record.” “We will be reviewing voting records… to determine whether you joined your neighbors who voted in 2014,” it continues. “If you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why not.” Brooklyn musician Jonathan Coulton tweeted out that he was "threatened:" I think the Democrats just threatened me: pic.twitter.com/wGvYInosk5 — Jonathan Coulton (@jonathancoulton) October 30, 2014 @madfilkentist "Paid for by the NY State Democratic Commitee" — Jonathan Coulton (@jonathancoulton) October 31, 2014 In Connecticut, public radio reporter and children’s book author Jeff Cohen wondered if the "creepy mailer" was related to Halloween: Hey, @CTDems. We just got your creepy mailer. Is it ominous bc it's Halloween? Boo? pic.twitter.com/s1v9W3in4y — Jeff Cohen (@jeffcohenwnpr) October 30, 2014 @realsaramerica @dereklane09 this isn't urging a vote. It's just super creepy. pic.twitter.com/IOv3KnLuql — Jeff Cohen (@jeffcohenwnpr) October 31, 2014 Amy Bergquist, also of Connecticut, wondered why Democrats would send a threatening message to their base: @realhartford @jeffcohenwnpr Can't figure out why we did. We vote 100% of the time, it was Democrat flyer. Why threatening msg to your base? — AmyBergquist (@AmyBergquist) October 31, 2014 Sarah Littman was also offended by the Democrat mailer: Reason I'm "U"RT @colinmcenroe: I'm a registered Connecticut Democrat and, at the moment, rather ashamed of that. http://t.co/IVYLywk4xV — Sarah Littman (@realsaramerica) October 31, 2014 Public radio host Colin McEnroe wrote in his Hartford Courant column Thursday: “Just when you thought this campaign season couldn’t sink any lower or become any more repulsive, the Connecticut Democrats have found a new crack they can slither down into.” “The tone of the mailings is chilling, like something you’d get from Stasi in East Berlin in 1967,” McEnroe wrote. “‘Who you vote for is private, but whether or not you vote is public record,’ it says.” “And then: ‘We will be reviewing these records after the election to determine whether or not you joined your neighbor in voting.’ Oh you will, will you?” he asked. McEnroe reported that two of the “undeniably menacing communications” are from Democrat state central, with a third coming from “Democratic-leaning” America Votes. “It’s nearly identical to the others,” McEnroe noted about the third mailer. “But here is the darkly hilarious difference: this mailer is addressed to one person but then contains the voting record of a different man named Irving, who lives several blocks away (I looked him up). So we know which elections Irving voted in.” “The higher-ups who signed off on this should come forward and resign immediately,” he asserted. In New York, the Post reported Brooklyn and Manhattan residents were “furious” upon receipt of their threats. “I’m outraged,” said one Manhattan voter who said she complained to a Democrat leader. “Whether I vote or not is none of your business!” This voter said she received a “report card” of her voting record, observing that she had not voted in two of the last four elections. The bullying letters, said the Post, were sent out to one million registered Democrats who had failed to vote in prior midterm elections. The New York State Democratic Committee, chaired by former Gov. David Paterson, defended the threatening letters and referred to them as standard practice throughout the country. This flier is part of the nationwide Democratic response to traditional Republican voter-suppression efforts, because Democrats believe our democracy works better when more people vote, not less,” said Peter Kauffmann, a committee spokesman. “The difference between Democrats and Republicans is they don’t want people to vote and we want everyone to vote.”

According to one poster, it is happening in Oregon as well: NHM • 2 hours ago "Add Portland, OR to the list receiving these same letters. My wife is a registered Dem and received one this afternoon."
Yes the Democrats ARE ceeepy.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12)
Sigh. Add NC: CASTLE HAYNE, NC (WWAY)-- Some citizens feel threatened by political letters in New Hanover County. One woman says she has received multiple letters from parties threatening her to vote. Castle Hayne resident Dierdre Dunn says she first got a letter that gave her a grade for her voting habits. She says the letter gave her a B and gave her neighbors an A. She says she threw that letter away without paying much attention to it. Friday she got a second letter. This one was from North Carolina's democratic party telling her they would be reviewing whether she votes. "I was not a little. I was very incensed," Dunn said. The letter started off by saying the organization has monitored her and her neighborhood's voting habits and they are disappointed. "This is America," Dunn says. "We have the right to not vote if we so choose not to." The last part of the letter says, "if you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why you let your community down by failing to vote." "They're threatening to out me whether I vote or don't vote," Dunn said.
This is the group who I received a card from about a week ago. Funny because I've never registered to vote for them but they sent one anyway. http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=36410&Disp=0 Republicans found out the hard way when they called me one day in 2012 on my cell phone asking for donations. (Don't know WHY they thought I was a supporter of theirs or how they got my cell phone number). Asked them how they got my number I got no answer, so I told the guy "the only good politician is a dead politician", it got real quiet real quick and needless to say they've not called back. LOL.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
I gave it to them.
Some Jehovah witnesses just stopped by the house so I gave them yours!

Some came to my house last week. I was disappointed that I didn't get to the door soon enugh. They left me a leaflet. Last time they came I said wait here. Googled some stuff and came out and started asking them some questions. Until they fled.
Were they driving a red Cadillac with white vinyl top? These 2 didn't stick around after they got a dose of typical dog behavior, you know licking hands/sniffing crotches! :)

They were on foot as i recall. They told me there was no hell.
I've heard it's because they deny that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, and so if they don't believe it exists they probably think they won't end up there.

The ones I got must have been lazy cause it's only 70 yards or so between houses out here.

I've had them in the past. I invited them in, took out my Bible every time they would say something untrue and read them the scripture that exposes the lies. They left in a hurry and never came back. :)
