The power to vote in November will be more than enough to rid this country of the mistakes that are in power now. Answer: this might be true, hopefully new people will be voted in across the board, however I am concerned what might happen before November? |

The November elections are an opportunity to make vast adjustments to our congress. This is very important, however, much can happen before Nov. and the immediate problem is to get the imposter out of the presidency. That would go a long way toward solving the congressional problem in that many of the bad apples would go down as a result of treasonous complicity.
Keep up the good work and God speed.

Greg, I agree with your sentiment, but I am sorry to say that Americans need to wake up to the extent of the problem. Voting doesn’t work any longer. Hillary won the Democratic nomination but the DNC fixed it so that BHO “won” by eliminating two states, Michigan and Florida. See: https://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/01/us.election.barack.obama.hillary.clinton.democratic.primaries
Also, fraud was rampant. It has already been proven that the electronic voting machines can be easily tampered to determine outcome, and the corrupt and heavily funded ACORN assisted voter fraud. Some estimate that there were 35 million fraudulent, illegal votes that ultimately put usurper Soetoro/Obama in the White House. Expect the same in 2010. Free and honest elections are no more. On top of this, as we are well aware, the media is biased to the extent of treason and heavily influences elections toward preselected candidates.

obama is an alleged president and a suspect in the usurping of the presidency.

The Democrats (I used to be one, now unaffiliated) are becoming extremely disillusioned with Obama, and are realizing they’ve been bamboozled beyond imagination.
My suggestion is to let the Democrats and others who were fooled into voting for this liar know that the BEST way to take down Barack Obama and his cohorts is to expose his ineligibility to be president. That would ruin him AND them, for good, and discourage people from such crimes in the future.
Please visit the various websites you’re familiar with and encourage people to support our hero, Orly. Tell them that Obama deserves to be exposed for the empty suit that he is, and, in my opinion, at least, this is the best, if not the ONLY WAY, TO TAKE HIM AND HIS CORPORATE COHORTS DOWN!
Thank you in advance for your help to our great country, and, as always, thank you, Dr. Taitz!!

We can take back our country if the American people want to and will be actively involved between now and 2010, and between now and 2012 . . .
Our country was never intended to have one-party despotic and dictatorial rule run amuk with total disregard for the will of the people.

“When Legerdemain Is Used to Pass an Unpopular Bill
Michael Barone
It’s time to blow the whistle on two erroneous statements that opponents and proponents of the health care legislation being jammed through Congress have been making. Republicans have been saying that never before has Congress passed such an unpopular bill with such important ramifications by such a narrow majority. Barack Obama has been saying that passage of the bill will mean that the health care issue will be settled once and for all.
The Republicans and Obama are both wrong. But perhaps they can be forgiven because the precedent for Congress passing an unpopular bill is an old one, and the issue it addressed has long been settled, though not by the legislation in question.
That legislation was the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. Its lead sponsor was Stephen A. Douglas, at 41 in his eighth year as senator from Illinois, the most dynamic leader of a Democratic Party that had won the previous presidential election by 254 electoral votes to 42.
Douglas’ legislative prowess far exceeded that of current Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. To hold together his 60 Senate Democrats, Reid simply dispensed favors — eternal Medicaid financing for Ben Nelson’s Nebraska, a hospital grant for Chris Dodd’s Connecticut, more rural health money for Byron Dorgan’s North Dakota and Montana’s Max Baucus.
Douglas did something far more difficult. He got the Senate to pass a bill some of whose provisions were supported by half of the Senate plus Douglas and some of which were supported by the other half plus Douglas. After passage, Douglas spent a day getting drunk — a consolation unavailable to the teetotaling Reid.
The issue that Douglas said the Kansas-Nebraska Act would settle forever was slavery in the territories. His bill repealed the 34-year-old Missouri Compromise prohibiting slavery in territories north of Arkansas and substituted popular sovereignty — territory residents could vote slavery up or down.
We cannot say with assurance that the Kansas-Nebraska Act was unpopular — Dr. Gallup didn’t start polling until 81 years later. But the results of the next election were pretty convincing. The Republican Party was suddenly created to oppose the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the 1854-55 elections transformed the Democrats’ 159-71 majority to a 108-83 Republican margin. Democrats didn’t win a majority of House seats for the next 20 years.
On the health care bill, there can be little doubt about public opinion. Quinnipiac, polling just after the Senate voted cloture, found Americans opposed by a 53 percent to 36 percent margin. Polls suggest that Democrats may suffer as much carnage in the 2010 elections as they did in 1854.
Nor did the Kansas-Nebraska Act settle the issue it addressed. Pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers fought it out in “bleeding Kansas,” and Douglas felt obliged to break with the Democratic administration and disown election-stealing by the pro-slavery side. The issue roused a former congressman named Abraham Lincoln to re-enter politics, and he beat Douglas in the popular vote (but not in the legislature) in 1858 and then was elected president in 1860.
A health care bill like the Senate’s is unlikely to settle all health care issues, either, though the ensuing political struggles will stop somewhere short of civil war. “We aren’t done talking about health care,” writes Atlantic blogger (and Obama voter) Megan McArdle. “We haven’t even really started. Our budget problems are as big as ever, and we just used up both political capital, and some of our stock of tax increases and spending cuts, to pay for something else.”
The Senate bill contains provisions that are likely to be revisited. Its language channeling federal and consumer dollars to abortion coverage is opposed, according to Quinnipiac, by a 72 percent to 23 percent margin. Its provision establishing an Independent Medicare Advisory Board and stating that it cannot be abolished except by a two-thirds vote of the Senate is of dubious constitutionality, and even if upheld in a court of law may not pass muster in the court of public opinion. Since when has Congress passed laws that cannot be repealed?
Kansas-Nebraska was an attempt to settle a fundamental issue by legislative legerdemain and political trickery. The Democrats’ health care bills are an attempt to settle a fundamental issue by partisan maneuver and cash-for-cloture. As Stephen Douglas learned, such tactics can work for a while, but the country — and the Democratic Party — can end up paying a heavy price.
