The government can justify so many things just by sounding technical, with "National Wilderness Preservation System". It's sheer robbery! I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with your computer and internet, D Dog!!! creationist- I can always count on you to be there with your terrific compassion, thank you. Isn't it amazing that the Congress votes on bills with apprently little to no knowledge of what they are voting on

Yeah. And with all those "earmarks" that people add, and then the sponsors trying to force a vote before most can read the modified bill . . . I'm glad for the organizations that send out SOS emails every time Harry Reid, Pelosi, or their cohorts pull stunts! We've defeated them thus far ;D ! The first time I remember learning of Harry Reid was when the media was feeling sorry for him after conservatives lambasted him for saying "This war is lost". And the first time I remember learning of Pelosi, besides that she seemed like a maniac who believed in abandoning the war in Iraq, was in the context of her meeting in Arabia to discuss women's rights ! I'd love to see both of those renegades ousted, and all of the people who want to sell us "environmentalism in a (tax) package"! Whoever came up with the idea to do a "Patriot of the Month" at our Thompson Coalition had a dandy idea! What a way to build connections and relationships with people who deserve appreciation!

We should push our states' Republican groups and our reps to ALL PUBLICLY DENOUNCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE! Once one state does anything, many others incredibly follow just because they don't feel so "different" anymore. If California wants to make gay marriage spread like wildfire throughout the 50 states (God forbid that they soon become Mexican annexations!), let's give the ACLU a run for its money and pound home the truth about the Fed. The biggest things we all need are teamwork and relentlessness.
If more conservatives had as much awareness about the threat the Fed poses as AMNESTY AND GLOBAL WARMING TAXES, then it'd have been abolished already! We still have time, and let's race each other to be the first to write our own reps about it! ;D

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems andthen campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.
The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, The Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court Justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly,legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator,a congressman or a President to do one cotton-picking thing.
I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall.
No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.
The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want.
If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility.
I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.
When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ .
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

This is the BEST article I have read in a LONG time!!! It is exactly the point that I feel should empower us, as Patriots willing to fight EVERY ONE of these so called officials... There are so many more of us, out here, who are sick to death of them, than there are of them... They all need to be fired, except for the ones we know are EXCELLENT PATRIOTS, and we need to start over, I don't care what the CFR does, or the Committee, they are done, if we decide they are done. WE ELECT THESE PEOPLE, NOT THE CFR... CODE RED, White and Blue! These colors don't run!!!
Thanks, Gomez, for the excellent find!

Just 17% Say Federal Government Represents Will of the People Just 17% of voters say that the federal government represents the will of the American people. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 68% disagree and 15% are not sure These views are consistent across partisan and demographic lines. Men, women, young, old, Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal, all offer a bleak assessment of what is supposed to be a “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” Sixty-seven percent ( 67%) of voters say that the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interest. Just 15% disagree with that assessment. www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/issues2/articles/just_17_say_federal_government_represents_will_of_the_peopleNo pie-in-the-sky stay with the Republican party with lack of statistical substantiation. We the people are fed up with Democrats and Republicans alike. The move is on folks: Voters Ready For Baldwin

Where?
Hello folks. Are you getting the message? People are fed up with Democrat/Republican. Read those stats again. It's a call to action. This is happening all over the country.
Are you aware? The Constitution party is the 3rd largest party in the U.S. It is larger than the Libertarian party. They are growing each day. Your lesson today is to go out on the Internet and do some research. Then come back here and report what you find.
1/4 of all voters nation-wide are registered as independent or as members of a ‘third party’. Over the last 10 years this has been the largest growing segment of voter registrations. Some states’ third party or independent registrations approach 1/3 of all registered voters.
IS AMERICA READY?
In a May 2007 Rasmussen survey 58% of Americans said it would be good for the United States to have a “truly competitive” third party. Voters are now weighing their options, especially on the issue of immigration. According to Rasmussen, 35% of conservatives said they'd pick a third party candidate over a Republican.

Constitution Party (United States) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Constitution Party Party Chairman Jim Clymer Senate Leader None House Leader None Founded 1992 Headquarters 23 North Lime St. Lancaster, PA 17602 Political ideology constitutional conservatism, nationalism, non-interventionism Political position Fiscal: Right-wing Social: Right-wing International affiliation None Color(s) Red, white, and blue Website constitutionparty.com The Constitution Party is a conservative United States political party. It was founded as the U.S. Taxpayers Party in 1992. The party's official name was changed to the Constitution Party in 1999; however, some state affiliate parties are known under different names. According to ballot access expert Richard Winger, the editor of Ballot Access News, who periodically compiles and analyzes voter registration statistics as reported by state voter agencies, it ranks third nationally amongst all United States political parties in registered voters, with 366,937 registered members as of November 2006.[1] (numbers are higher than this now and I will get them for you) The Constitution Party advocates a platform that purports to reflect the Founding Fathers' original intent of the U.S. Constitution, principles found in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, and morals taken from the Bible.[2] In 2006, Rick Jore of Montana became the first Constitution Party candidate elected to a state-level office,[3][4] though the Constitution Party of Montana had disaffiliated itself from the national party a short time before the election. On April 26, 2008, Chuck Baldwin was elected to be the Constitution Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election. Pat Buchanan threatened in 1996 to run as the U.S. Taxpayers Party candidate if Bob Dole chose a pro-choice running mate — Dole ultimately chose pro-life Jack Kemp and received Buchanan's endorsement. Buchanan's 2000 Reform Party running mate Ezola B. Foster switched to the Constitution Party in 2002. Buchanan stated on the September 7, 2004 edition of Hardball with Chris Matthews, "There is a chance I would vote for [Michael] Peroutka."[8] However, he later penned an endorsement of incumbent President George W. Bush in the pages of The American Conservative.[9] Conservative U.S. senator Bob Smith announced his switch from Republican to the U.S. Taxpayers Party in 1999 to seek its 2000 presidential nomination. Smith later claimed that anti-New World Order ideologues within the party resisted his candidacy due to his Roman Catholicism. He continued his campaign as a non-partisan independent but ceased the campaign soon after and returned to the Republican party to assume a Senate committee chairmanship. In 2008, he began writing editorials on the Constitution Party's web page, fueling speculation that he would seek its presidential nomination again, although he had endorsed Rep. Duncan Hunter for the Republican nomination. He requested that his name be withheld from consideration in a March 2008 letter to CP supporters. Minuteman Project co-founder Jim Gilchrist ran for Congress with the American Independent Party in 2005, but has since rejoined the Republicans.[10] Conservative author and WorldNetDaily columnist Jerome Corsi launched a brief campaign for the 2008 nomination but in July 2007 decided to return to writing.[11] Former Reagan Administration official and Christian conservative activist Alan Keyes had actively sought the Constitution nod after ending a bid for the GOP nomination.[12] The party has also attracted notables in the anti-abortion movement such as Patrick Johnston,[13] Lon Mabon[14], Paul deParrie, and Missionaries to the Preborn leader Pastor Matthew Trewhella.[15] However, many such notables were involved in the below-mentioned disaffiliation efforts over abortion, and it remains unclear on what effect the movement has upon the current reorganized affiliates.
