DO YOU HONESTLY WANT SOMEONE WHO CAN’T EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY HOUSES HE OWNS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY?
People, NOW IS OUR MOMENT to make a difference to turn things around for the better in this country. But first, we have to turn things around for the better in Washington. Obama: - Wants to restore our middle class - Bring us out of Iraq and keep us out - Restore our economy - Make tax cuts - Biden is experienced in Foreign Politics and Defense which is exactly what we need. - Obama wiill bring CHANGE Please, restore this country to what it was before the reign of Bush. Bush is a McCain supporter... Compare what McCain will do to what Bush has done... there is no difference at all.. The United States can not handle another 4 years of this. Make a difference vote OBAMA BIDEN 08!
This blog is directly addressed to Senator Barack Obama. In the name of GOD and you (Mr. Obama); I am ready to assist in any effort directed by you in this time of major concern. I am an IT specialist with over a decade of management experience that happens to be built like a football player. So I make myself available for anything from assisting in the network and communication efforts to cleaning up debris from the street.
The time is now Mr. President, (to be), to take charge, to lead, to react without haste but with keen foresight, to do what you do best. I'm behind you!!!
Please tell me America isn’t this gullible. Why does John McCain feel that he can elect a woman as his VP and somehow level the playing field with Obama and Biden? I tell you this is dirty politics at its best and it tells you that John McCain thinks the average American is stupid...
Electing Sarah is like picking your little brother to play on your team because your mother told you to, or else! It’s like getting stuck with that fat kid with no athletic ability because there’s no one else left to choose from. If the republicans think that this somehow appeals to the female voters or the Hilary supporters; I have one thing to say.
They should be ashamed of themselves. This is a slap in the American face. Hilary not only proved through her career but also over the past months that she deserved to be in the race, deserved the 18 million votes, deserved to be a part of history. Let's not blemish this landmark in history with an Average Jo-Ann, just to make a point. Hilary has set the bar and let me tell you it's pretty darn high. Who ever takes the glory of being the first woman anything, should be well worth the hype.
America please don’t be fooled and fall for these ridiculous tricks of a suffering political group. Sarah Palin isn’t someone that will compliment as a counter balance to John McCain. This is just another crony of the republican system just thrown into a skirt, (I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t have a slew of pant suits).
I think a smart move would be for Barack to announce Hilary as his number three, and then brush the McCain camp under his red carpet where they belong.
I feel so proud to be American, Trinidadian and everything else right now. I feel like Obama has put together such a movement of unity consisting of everyone around the World. When have you seen a presidential nominee that has taken the world by storm? He is loved everywhere in the World and the World is seeing change and America is seeing it too. I have never been so drawn to the presidential campagine like this. Everyday I am watching CNN and trying to find out what Obama is saying next. You know something good is about to happen when a 16 year old is excited about the presidential campagine. YES WE CAN!!!!!
If Obama doensn't win this, then I don't know what I'll do. America needs to wake up and realize that we finally have someone that can make America better. We finally have something different and this just doesn't come along every four years.
The people in a given state don't always agree with their legislators. Nor do the state legislatures agree with the majority of people within their states. The United States was created with this in mind when they created both houses within Congress. One elected by the people, the other by the legislatures of each state. When the U.S. Constitution was created, only the essential powers necessary to carry out its reason for existing were granted to each branch of the Federal Government How is it that Congress can violate the Constitution? Good Question. I'm still trying to figure out when accepting a bribe became legal. But here is some information as to why a violation of power occured.
During the Conventions of 1787, many wise and noble men were appointed by each state in order to amend the Articles of Confederation. Upon review of the Articles, it was found that in order to accomodate the objective before them, they would need to make drastic changes. These changes, in order to be binding, would need the approval of the same body that approved the Articles of Confederation, though there had been no provision for this method of handling.
The Preamble of the Constitution begins with "We the people of the United States" and continues to state the intentions of the Constitution. Justice, domestic Tranquility, providing common defense, promote the general welfare, secure liberty, to ourselves and future generations. Expressing the individual reasons for creating the U.S. Constitution establishes intention, or motive, and gives affect to what follows. In Contract Law, (a constitution is merely a contract between two parties, in this case, the contract is created for the establishment of a Federal Government by the people amongst the several states.) the parties who formed the agreement, or are formed by the agreement, are obligated to fulfill the obligations therefor mentioned. In order to make changes to a contract, the parties affected by such change must give consent. As an example, the Bill of Rights were passed by the legislatures of the states. By ratifying the amendments, they agreed to honor them in accordance with the Preamble.
Article V. of the Constitution allows for 2 modes of ratifying amendments. I have broken down the paragraph to show logic to its purpose. It is mentioned that form is important, but not as important as the substance itself.
The Congress shall call a convention for proposing Amendments. a. whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary. b. on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states.In either case: shall be valid to all intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution a. when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several states b. by Conventions in three fourths of the several statesas the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress.Provided that no state shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
It is important to think about how much power had been granted by the "People" of the United States to the Federal Government. First, are the acts of the Legislative, Executive. or Judicial branches meeting the purpose the Constitution was created for?
Within the jurisdiction, does the act provide: a. Justice - the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment. b. domestic Tranquility - Do you feel at ease with such acts? c. providing common defense - Do these acts ward off attacks or protect the common people and their rights? d. promote the general welfare - Do these acts further growth or progress of the people as a whole? e. secure liberty - do these acts secure the liberties of the people?
When establishing the constitution, certain powers were specifically denied to the federal government by the "People" and can only be granted by the same through a state convention. States were only allowed Direct Taxation of the people if their Constitutions (which were also formed by the people of the settlements) allowed for such. Forming a Corporation is done under similar principles, which create laws and bylaws, often consists of an 'Executive Sfaff' and a Board whose supposed interest is suppose to be relative to the common shareholders. While the executives may have relatively free reign, certain circumstances require votes in order to change any corporate bylaws or other circumstances that may affect the value of the company. In a sense, Tax Payers invest in the U.S. Government when they pay taxes, though Unconstitutional, and besides funding the general expenses of the Federal Government, other appropriations of Federal funds must meet the standards set forth above.
In the Federalist No. 85, Paragraph 11 refers to the amendment process through until the end of that publication. Hamilton wrote, "By the fifth article of the plan, the Congress will be obliged "On the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the States, which at present time amount to nine, to call a convention for proposing amendments, which shall be valid, to all intents and purposes, as part of the Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the States, or by convention in three fourths thereof. The words of this article are peremptory. The Congress 'shall call a convention." Nothing in this particular is left to the discretion of that body. And of consequence, all the declamation about the disinclination to a change vanishes in air." He goes on to ask, "Can there be any room to apprehend any such difficulty in a union on points which are merely relative to the general liberty or security of the people? We may safely rely on the disposition of the State legislatures to erect barriers against the encroachments of the national authority." So what happens now?
Not only have our rights been violated, the rights of people worldwide have been violated. We the people have no right to spread democracy. Democracy is what the U.S. Constitution replaced. It was found that Total Democracy continually failed time after time. Since the start of the Great War, Government has used tax-payer money to spread patriotic propaganda. Seems the Germans picked up on this. They supposedly used the same techniques in World War II. Part of the American Declaration of Rights sent to the Crown in England to express grievances. If you read up on it, you'll realize that American Independance was fought for the same reasons we're seeing now. The only reason I can conclude we actually got involved in WW I, was that the U.S. had been the primary source for weapons and supplies, and ultimately the only reason they weren't conquered for so long. But when they began to lose, it was realized that they would never be paid for much of the supplies which were on the Credit of those soon to have been conquered.
Everything I have stated is information available to anyone who looks for it. I highly recommend if you care about your future, look it up before dismissing my statements as false. The most alarming part of my research is that most of Congressman have law degrees. I firmly believe that a person with a degree in law should have been able to recognize of these encroachments. Instead, the federal government speaks of what it is doing for the people, and give tax breaks, etc, etc... but what they are really doing is keeping your mind off of what you might disapprove of. Everything said by a Presidential candidate is malarky. The President can suggest laws to Congress. But Congress is the true holder of any power. We've already let the government get out of control. We can't let it continue until nobody is left. If the Government is empowered solely by the people, then the people are responsible for the actions of the government. Continuing on as we are, we are only welcoming another attack.
I mean- one day these guys and gals are trying to convince America that Barack Obama is an extremist Muslim, and the next day the same people are trying to pressure Barack to cancel his membership at his Christian Church!
Anybody remember the movie 'Sybil'?

This poll is really remarkable... the question....
WHY IS HILLARY CLINTON LOSING?
Do you see the magic in it? No matter how you answer it.. you 'almost' have to concede she IS losing just to move forward. Granted, one of the responses is "she's not losing" which is losing out to the others... she's not prioritizing smaller states, Obama has a movement and MY favorite OBAMA CAN BEAT MCCAIN! Clearly the last one gives a reason for undecided and independent voters viewing the poll to see how many people believe that.
In any case... go to the link, you can vote, see the overall results (I won't spoil it but I will say you have NOTHING to worry about) and check the results of YOUR state and others.
