Instant-runoff voting

I see that you're a Bernie supporter, which indicates to me that you would support fair voting reform. The Wikipage: Instant-runoff voting.

For the group fighting for it, check out: http://www.FairVote.org.

To see why it's necessary, check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqblOq8BmgM.

It's supported by the Green Party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb7MQ7da6sg.

Kent Hovind

Dear VeroniqueBellamy: Regarding the article on Kent Hovind, editors BiologicalMe and Ravensfire are correct. These are technical legal terms. The correct term for Hovind is "tax protester." That's the term used by the courts. Hovind was never charged with tax evasion (26 USC section 7201). He was charged with willful failure to PAY tax, which is a separate crime. Please review the article.

The news media (of which I am a former member) does tend to use the term "tax evader" incorrectly to mean anyone who commits a tax crime. Tax evasion is just one kind of tax crime. If a media report uses the term "tax evader" incorrectly, we try here at Wikipedia to be accurate, and a bit more restrained -- especially in articles on living persons.

Also, your conjecture in one of your edits about the lack of validity of a renunciation of citizenship is pretty much on target, but the problem is that it is YOUR conjecture. As Wikipedia editors, we have to avoid that sort of thing. Famspear (talk) 04:05, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
