Miami-Dade January 24, 2010
We need a lawyer URGENTE who wishes to take this case of contravention with the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, PRO BONO presenting a complain in the court because the regulations of the Recall referendum at Miami-Dade Country. It’s an academic case because the regulation force by the county commissioners to avoid being fire for the voters using the recall process.The Government of Miami-Dade County has forgotten its role to protect the right of the governed and not protect themselves against claims of the governed. This procedure Recall, supposedly democratic in my opinion is tainted by a series of arbitrary rules manufactured by the county commission and disabling virtually strangles the possibility of success of citizens in a petition of this kind. These regulations created by the Commissioners of Miami-Dade County about two years ago, after the attempt of citizens to make a Recall in 2006 against the Commissioner Natacha Seijas, are in clear opposition to what he expressed very clearly First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America that very clearly and emphatically states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or order prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of Grievances . This amendment is very clear that we have a constitutional right to present our grievances to the rulers without creating barriers rulers who oppose our right to do so, for this government acted in a manner which does not produce correct and arbitrary regulations which restrict the freedom and the right of voters to demand proper conduct by elected officials and the possibility of removing from office officials who do not perform their duties in accordance with the expectations of the citizens who elected them through a quick, Revocation easy and fair. I want to stress that all these "new regulations" that are intended to restrict the free exercise constitutional citizens protest were filed by November 28, 2006 Commissioners Jose "Pepe" Diaz, Bruno Barreiro and Natacha Seijas of course. The regulations put into exercise by the commissioners have in my opinion the following inconsistencies that go against the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America and therefore I demand to be reviewed and removed immediately, to have a democratic process, easy and self-consistent with that expressed in the First Amendment. First: It is not necessary to have to use a signature page for each support the Presidential Recall Referendum. This is not a ballot is a page to collect signatures supporting the referendum to call a recall election of officials who have acted forgetting their obligations to the voters. This impedes the will of the voters to have a mechanism for removing inept governors and unwanted. The ballot to collect signatures for a recall must contain at least for 10 signatures of support, giving citizens their constitutional right to protest against the wrong, in which appear all the data needed to easily and efficiently identify the signer by the Department of Elections. Second: There is no need for a "circulator" This is a process of collecting signatures of support and the voters can get their schedules to support the referendum by multiple ways in which the Internet can be included in which no human contact. Each person signing is morally and legally responsible for their support and all the data provided on the form. It requires the presence of an outsider to audit or legalize each signature; each signature is an action and a right of each voter and is solely their responsibility rather than a second or third person. The certification of it is the obligation of the Department of Elections of Miami-Dade and anything else that separates this is an attempt to block and complicate the right of expression of protest voters. Third, is not required notarization of the forms to collect signatures supporting the recall process is a simple process of collecting signatures of support and the voters who fill the form are the only morally and legally responsible for what it appears and to do so fraudulently can be punished by law. Introduce a third person in the process is complicated and make it more difficult for those who wish to express their disagreement with the government. Each person signing is morally and legally responsible for their firm support and all the data provided on the form. It requires the presence of a third person to notarize and certify the voter and the circulator, each signature is a legal and moral responsibility of the signatory. The certification and verification of payroll is the obligation of the Department of Elections of Miami-Dade and anything else that separates this is an attempt to block the right of expression of the voters and also to make each payroll increase considerable cost of about $ 1.50 without circulator and notary to about $ 10.00 for each if we have to include a circulator and a notary. It is no secret to anyone that if it costs you $ 10.00 to deliver a political opinion, as the signatures supporting the recall referendum, many people will choose not to. This is a very efficient way to discourage and prevent voters speak out against the government. It is inconceivable that form to collect signatures supporting the referendum is to be signed by three people. The voters, the circulator and the Notary. If this is not deliberate obstruction of the referendum process, then what is? Fourth: County government requires collection of signatures supporting the referendum of 8% of the voters of Miami-Dade. County voters are now more than 1'231, 680 voters this makes them have to collect more than 98.534 signatures in support. This is an amount much higher than the total votes obtained by the Alvarez when he was elected mayor in his second term, overall turnout was 11% who voted in past elections that elected county mayor in 2008 when Mayor was elected by 7% of voters and now requires an 8% it out. This is absolutely unfair and difficult to do if put together with the disappointment of voters who refuse to participate in elections to see that the elected politicians and absolutely forget campaign promises to spend without consideration from government spending, raise wages his acolytes promote their hidden agendas and have a dissipated life of travel paid by the voters and support vested interests that have nothing to do with the expectations of voters who refuse to participate as the principal civic exercise of democracy that are elections. In the recent elections in Miami Beach voted less than 7% of voters in the city and Miami voted less than 21% Fifth: The sheet that occurs papal ballot referendum should be 8.5 x 10 because the proposed road is 8.5 x 13 that has the ability to be reproduced by computer printers. This sheet is very difficult to work on it and is another impediment added by the Commissioners and the department of elections to thwart the recall process. The forms must be feasible distributed by e-mail e-mail, postal mail and personally. The forms may be collected and filled by mail and personally. Sixth: On the disqualification of signatures. On the b-Those that are not legible. On the f-that are different from that sign to the end that can not be determined if the person who signed and the person who is registered to vote are the same. The appearance aspect b f denied because many people in the department signed with a rubric and elections on the ballot require you to be legible. The appearance and "The second and any additional signature of an otherwise eligible voter. (That no one will understand.) Seventh: The people collecting the signatures must be registered as voters. But they are not voting. They are simply collected signatures supporting the referendum and may even be private companies that do this job. I think that citizenship is sufficient. Eighth: In point 4 we are creating more requirements for a recall referendum that to make a change in the Constitution of the Floridian. Ninth: A statement in each hand-written request by the circulator stating his name, in print and your signature. But what is this thing we are talking about more than 52,000 statements on the ballot ... Tenth: The space given to date little is done on purpose so that the voter will not notice and not making it easy to write the date of invalidation of the ballot. Eleventh: The position of signature in the box about this run to the right causing many people to sign left at the empty space for errors in signing the document, which nullify the ballot. Twelfth: It is absolutely unacceptable that the forms that are submitted to the referendum have to be paid, at $ 0.10 each page, at the election department, a department of the Miami-Dade County and we are the ones paying your expenses and your employees. What is the reason why we twice for the same job? The previous opinion these inconsistencies with the First Amendment is based on the imposed unjustly and illegally need to prevent others from exercising their constitutional right protected by the First Amendment of the United States of America. Such arbitrary and unconstitutional regulations should be eliminated immediately by the Miami-Dade Commission, who first implanted fearing the wrath of the people, because we are entitled to it. God is helping, Lazaro R Gonzalez Recall Office Miami Dade.
