The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “NY Assemblywoman Introduces Tyrannical Legislation to Enforce Mandatory Voting Through Use of Penalty Fee“…
Democratic Assemblywoman and tyrant, Deborah Glick
Rayn: Manufacturing the “consent of the governed” through penalty fees… Seems legit…
New Yorkers Who Don’t Vote Would Pay $10 Fine Under Assemblywoman’s Bill:

Steve K.: If true, it would be unconstitutional, violates the 1st amendment for one thing. Not voting is one way of protesting.
Rayn: Indeed! Penalizing those New Yorkers who choose to Vacate The Vote in an effort to Withdraw Consent is not only an assault against free speech, and freedom of choice – it also represents a shameless effort to run an extortion racket, too! These political parasites are nothing more than a legally-protected criminal caste!
