A republic is a form of government maintained by a state or country whose sovereignty is based on consent of the governed and whose governance is based on popular representation. Rule of law is an essential feature of a republic.
The American Republic lives or dies on the ability of the people to control the government. The Framers of the Constitution gave control of our elections (the lockbox of the Republic) to the individual States and not to the United States, to ensure that the dispersed power of citizens as represented by their state governments could check and balance the centralized power of the federal government.
The general public, and most particularly many in the election integrity movement, are blissfully unaware of the dangers posed to our American Republic by a little known entity called the Election Assistance Commission.

On May 15, when the Safe American Roads Act of 2007 (H.R. 1773) passed the House by an overwhelming 411 3 margin, many opponents to the Department of Transportation’s Mexican truck demonstration project presumed the battle was won.
Yet, nothing could be further from the truth.

All this week, a series of Department of Transportation high-level meeting have been held over a pending decision to allow the Mexican trucks to roll their long-haul rigs anywhere in the United States on July 15.
A decision to proceed with the Mexican truck demonstration project amounts to Transportation declaring that the agency has already complied with the requirements of the Iraq supplemental funding bill and ignoring an overwhelming vote taken by the House to pass a law that would block the test.
Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, has asked the Department of Transportation to announce publicly whether the demonstration project will begin on July 15, or to state officially that the project allowing Mexican trucks into the U.S. has been postponed.
