Start here !

That is what my web site Re elect no one is all about.

Most in Congress have failed us in so many ways. It appears they are planning to fail us again by turning a blind eye to Bush's crimes, making themselves as culpable as he and Cheney are.

EENEY, MEENY, MINEY MOE

Catch an Illuminati, then let him go!

We won't. We is too little. We is impotent when it comes to making

 a difference. We is got a long way to go.

But that don't mean we can't moan and whine and groan.

We can pray. We can think that most Americans are intelligent.

We can ask for a miracle. It may be forthcoming, it may not.

Let us pray!

Politicians wouldn't bother manipulating public opinion if..

we had no power as a collective group.

They also wouldn't resign from the highest of public offices if they did NOT care what we think as a nation.

The voices of the few may go to the winds, but the power of the millions is a tsunami.

Anybody else here notice how politicians reverse their positions 180 degrees when signatures by the millions come in from Moveon.org?

Come on people, of course we have power. It's just that politicians can't listen to the hundreds of thousands, when they have a nation of people to consider.

Oh, in case you think I forget, that word "consider" doesn't apply to this Congress. I am not innocent and I know that. HOwever....they also want their seat in office. It's more than just a job: Being hooked in with corporations, they stand to lose god knows how many millions if they lose their seat in office. OF COURSE we have power! GET THEM OUT!!!

And we'd better not spread word about our collective powerlessness, because that is exactly what a) the politicians want us to think b) it's how they win c) above all, depression governs our masses. And that is exactly why politicians are literally getting away with murder.

Please spread the hope, not the despair! It's critically important right now. Thank you.

Good one, Kathryn!

Cracked me up.

Suppose that all those law suits are filed and won. You do understand that they'd be appealed to the Supreme Court, right?

You do know what the Supreme Court is, right? An unelected patronage position, part of the Presidential perks? A body that is incompatible with democracy because they are not elected by the people, cannot be removed by the people, and their decisions cannot be appealed or overruled by the people? Do you call that government by the people?

Watch as Congress restores habeus corpus for the third time, and the Supreme Court restores it for a fourth time, and they go back and forth in that little dance as Bush (and Obama when it is his turn) continues to torture innocent people in secret prisons without charge or trial. That's called, "a nation of laws, not of men," but it is law written by the corporations and rubberstamped by their pawns in Congress, the courts, and the White House. Enforced by their private mercenaries, of course. 

The Constitution says that only Congress itself may remove a sitting Member of Congress. Not even the courts can do that.

For a mere $5 donation, the Program on Corporations, Law & Democracy (POCLAD) will send you their Democracy Insurgency packet. Just google POCLAD.

Find out why our Constitution is not and was not designed to be compatible with democracy, and what we can do about it. 

In the meantime, thanks for the laugh.

Have you noticed that MoveOn

doesn't adopt the priorities its members deem most important?

That it only acts on things that they think will be acceptable to a totally corrupt Democratic Party majority in Congress and their Republican colleagues?

Organizations like MoveOn, People for the American Way, etc., are a fraud, designed to enrich themselves by holding out false hopes that our totally corrupt system can be reformed and doesn't need to be replaced with a democratic system.

David and Goliath

PS Let's not forget the analogy of David and Goliath. Guess who won?
What about the mice crawling all over the elephant?
How about anthill colonies crawling all over people?

Actually, ants carry how many times their body weight?
Ants also cling together in a pyramid when their colony is flooded, floating to safety. And...they continue right on with their work.

The ants (us) come marching two by two, haroo, haroo!! :-)

Will the States Standup - A Letter I sent to All States

February 5, 2007

To all the Legislatures of the Various States

To all the Governors of the Various States

cc: all the Congresspersons of the United States of America

cc: the President of the United States of America

cc: Others

Dear Fellow American Citizen:

The Federal Government has become a government of Special Interests, by Special Interests, and for Special Interests.

This Federal Government was created by the original States to be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is therefore your duty, responsibility, and obligation to amend the Federal Constitution as necessary to make it once again a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

 Taxation with false representation is worse than knowing you have Taxation without representation!

The Citizen Amendments provide a minimum list of the amendments required. Get your copy at: www.CitizenAmendments.org. The States must act before the end of Calendar year 2007 to add these amendments, setup a State Run Department of Justice and Ethics with full authority to investigate all elected, appointed, and hired members of the Federal Government. This Justice department shall have access to all Federal and UN documents whether or not they are classified or sealed. Its first duty shall be to remove from office anyone that has or may have connections to the Zionist Terrorists that currently control the Federal Government. The States of the United States must also insist that all the governments of the world demand the immediate and unconditional surrender of the Zionist terrorists occupying any of the land that was Palestine during the British Mandate and that they, and all other Zionists in the world be brought before an International Court of Law and tried for their crimes against the people of the World.

If the above actions are not taken, I fear that our Nation will be completely dominated by the Zionist Terrorists and it will result in civil uprisings because the people will know that they have lost their representation of the people, by the people, and for the people. When this happens, will we be lucky once again, and the people will follow a leader like Dr. Martin Luther King or will we be unlucky and the people will follow someone like Hitler? Will we even have freedom of speech?

a.      Who will the over 11 million illegal people that Congress has allowed to enter the United States follow?

b.      Who will the over 5 million illegal people that Congress granted amnesty to follow?

c.      Who will the people that are discontent with the illegal people that Congress allows in the United States follow?

d.      Who will the criminals and those released from prisons follow?

e.      Who will the people that lost their pensions due to changes of bankruptcy laws follow?

f.      Who will the people that lost their jobs due to outsourcing follow?

g.      Who will the people that lost their jobs due to downsizing follow?

h.      Who will the people that lost their jobs due to their job being moved to another country follow?

i.      Who will the people that are starving due to crop failures caused by drought or lack of Energy follow?

j.      Who will the people that lose everything due to Bankruptcy or foreclosure follow?

k.      Who will the people that lose everything due to Bank failures follow?

l.      Who will the people that do not approve of Congress giving money to people who are in violation of International law follow?

m.      Who will the people that do not approve of Congress giving money to people who are in violation of United Nations Resolutions follow?

n.      Who will the people that do not approve of Congress supporting the inhuman treatment of the Palestine people follow?

o.      Who will the people that do not trust the integrity of the Elected Federal Government Officials follow?

p.      Who will the people that do not trust the integrity of the Officials appointed by the Federal Government follow?

q.      Who will the people that do not trust the integrity of the personnel hired by the Federal Government follow?

r.      Who will the people that do not trust the integrity of the information provided by the Federal Government follow?

s.      Who will the people that do not trust the integrity of the information from the Special Interest owned media follow?

t.      Who will the people that do not trust the Internet Search Engines to provided unfiltered information follow?

u.      Who will the people who suffer when other countries of the World impose Sanctions against us for not abiding by International Law and/or United Nations Resolutions follow?

v.      Who will the people who disagree with our government funding directly or indirectly the inhuman treatment of other people follow?

w.      Who will the people that are tired of “Political Correctness” follow?

x.      Who will the people who have effectively lost their right of Initiative due to legislative restrictions follow?

At the American Legion's National Convention in Salt Lake City on August 29, 2006, Donald Rumsfeld included as a part of his speech the statement "Some seem not to have learned history's lesson”. I believe this is a very true statement.

Land was taken from Czechoslovakia and given to the Nazi Terrorists. The end result was that an estimated 16 million service people and 19.5 million civilians or an estimated total of 35.5 million Europeans and Americans were killed before the unconditional surrender of the Nazi Terrorists on May 7, 1945. In what may still be the most bloody and brutal acts of Terrorism since World War II, the Zionist Terrorists rose up against the British Mandate of Palestine. Guess what? Land was taken from the Palestine people and given to the Zionist Terrorists!

On May 14, 1948 President Truman said NO to his American Citizen advisers and YES to the Zionist Terrorists. We have been a Zionist Republic and controlled by the Zionists ever since. The Zionists in the United States (Some of them Dual Citizens) demand and threaten with lawsuits that the symbol they used to celebrate the Israeli defeat of the Syrians be displayed in the United States. Is this to celebrate the United States becoming a Zionist Republic? Why isn’t the symbol of Good Luck which was widely used among the Indians of North America and South America being displayed? The Indians of America were not responsible for the wars of Europe.

Since this time, President Kennedy who did not support the Zionists was assassinated. Since this time, President Nixon who did not support the Zionists was forced to resign. Since this time, President Clinton had an exposed sexual affair. How many secrets were obtained from the President and other high government officials as a result of this affair? How many Zionists are plying their trade with elected and appointed members of the United States government?

Why did the United States allow Arafat to be held prisoner on his own land, by the Zionists? Why did the United States stop the Jenin Massacre and other Massacres committed by the Zionists from being investigated? How many people are buried in the Zionist Enemies cemeteries?

President Clinton’s wife Hillary made a trip to Palestine and embraced Arafat in a gesture of peace. When the Zionists complained, she apologized for her gesture of peace, moved to New York, and was elected a Senator from that State.

Why did our government allow missile guidance technology to be given to China, but now that China has tested it and it works, our government is complaining. Is this just an indirect way to get proven technology to the Zionist Terrorists and blame China? How much of our technology has been compromised by openly and secretly giving it away? Do we have factories and reserves left in the United States to produce what is needed for our defense?

When Al Gore was running for President, he had a Palestine Person on his staff to advise him about Palestine and the Zionist complained. Did the Zionist want to provide Al with biased or false information about the Palestine people?

Tom Friedman of the New York Times stated on the Charlie Rose show that the Palestine People cannot be allowed to return to their Land, their Homes, and their Livelihood because the land claimed by the Zionist would soon become a non-Jewish state. Does Tom not know that this land belongs to the Palestine people? Was he against the right of return of people to Germany least it not remain an Aryan state? Is he suggesting that there be a Jewish state and that all other states be non-Jewish? Is this the reason that the Zionists are proposing the division of Iraq into three parts?

While our Secretary of State Colin Powell was in the Middle East in an effort to make peace between the Zionist Terrorists and the Palestine people, Congress voted NO to President GW Bush’s efforts for peace and YES to the Zionist Terrorists continued violations of International law, violations of United Nations resolutions, and the inhuman treatment of the Palestine people. Since this time it appears that our President does whatever the Zionists want. How can members of Congress refer to these Terrorists as their friend Israel?

The Zionist wanted a war to be fought with Iraq. Did they destroy the World Trade Center Buildings to accomplish this goal? Why did the 911 commission leave everything about connections to the Zionists out of the report? Why was Zacarias Moussaoui not allowed to tell the American people why we are hated by some people? Would it have reflected badly on the Zionist Terrorists? Why are people in Europe who disagree with the way history is written by the Zionist Terrorists put in prison? Is the purpose of Political Correctness in the United States intended to restrict what we can say and what we can read on the Internet? Why did Congress rush forward and vote, “YES!” war with Iraq is necessary, when the inspections to determine the claimed justification for the war had not been completed. After 3 Years of war, Congress created the Baker-Hamilton commission to determine the best course of action for the continuing war in Iraq. Congress said that this was to provide the President with a way out of the War when in effect it was probably intended to allow Congress to wash its hands of their rush to war and to crucify the President for not turning Iraq into an easy takeover target by the Zionist with their nuclear bombs and United States supplied missiles. Some of the people on this commission were the same people who knowingly left information critical of the Zionist Terrorists out of the 911 report. Congress acts as if war can be turned on and off like a light switch! Any member of Congress that voted for this War or the destruction of Lebanon should do the United States a favor and resign. The Zionists also want Wars with Iran and Syria, which is probably why President GW Bush refuses to talk to the Iranians and the Syrians.

After Ehud Olmert, the Prime Minister of the Zionists visited the President in the White House; did it just happened, or did they plan that two Zionists soldiers were to be captured by Hezbollah. This was then used to destroy Lebanon infrastructure. Much of this infrastructure was paid for by the United States Tax Payers. Our President refused to make them stop and even rushed more weapons of death to the Zionists. Congress even went out of its way to vote YES to the Zionist destruction of Lebanon and NO to the people of Lebanon and NO to the people of the United States who wanted it stopped. Why wasn’t there an outcry in the United States Media about this destruction of Lebanon and its coastline? Why wasn’t there an outcry in the United States Media and Congress about the use of cluster bombs against Lebanon Women and children? Why didn’t the media tell about the International Laws and United Nations resolutions that the Zionists are violating on a daily basis?  Is it because the Zionists control the Media and Congress and they present the best interests of the Zionists instead of the best interests of the United States? Were the Zionists responsible for the actions that led to Syria withdrawing from Lebanon so that the Zionists could more easily destroy it?

Do the Zionist Terrorists proclaim loudly “Never Again” and then whisper to themselves “Unless it is I”?

Who are the cowards and terrorists? Those in high flying airplanes with proper uniforms and using precision guided cluster bombs which kill women and children or the Freedom Fighters who can not afford a uniform, but who sacrifice their lives trying to get the land, homes, and livelihood of their people back?

Is the real purpose of these wars, to destabilize the countries of the world so they will become easier targets for a Zionist Terrorist takeover?

Why are people in the United States allowed to give money to the Zionists who use the money to Bulldoze down the homes of Palestine people and build illegal Zionist settlements on Palestine land?

Why does Congress continue to give money to the Zionists, when Congress knows that the Zionists have unregulated nuclear bombs, which makes this funding illegal? Why hasn’t the Justice Department put a stop to this? Why did our government provide missiles to the Zionists for use in delivering their nuclear bombs? If this is not a violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty, it should be.

Why are immigrant citizens, [which, who] may not be looking out for the best interests of the United States allowed to hold high offices in our government and be secret advisors to the President? Examples of this are Henry Kissinger and Madeline Albright. Is our [Primary] educational system so bad that we need foreign born and/or dual citizens to run our government? All these offices should be filled by Legal United States Citizens born of Legal United States Citizens, Educated in the United States, and have never been dual citizens.

In order to solve the problems of the Arab people, they need to consider what Muhammad would think, what Muhammad would say, and what Muhammad would do. They then need to meet, work out their differences, and speak with one voice to bring about the rule of Law and Justice in the Middle East. As a united people they can then demand and enforce the rules of law, that all other peoples in the Middle East abide by International Law, United Nations Resolutions, and that everyone be treated humanely.

When the United States became a Zionist republic, we were a Creditor Nation, now we are a Debtor Nation and may be teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. Congress has given the Zionists over a trillion dollars with little or no accountability, yet Congress claims there is no money for health care for its legal citizens. Congress claims there is not enough money for Social Security for its legal citizens. Congress claims there is not enough money to secure our borders. Why are BILLIONS available annually to support violators of International Law, United Nation Resolutions, and Human Rights, but money is not available to meet the needs of the Legal Citizens of the United States?

It is time to turn all taxing power over to the states and allow them to decide how much of the collected revenue will be allotted to the Federal Government and the conditions for its expenditure. It makes more sense for the States to collect the money and allocate it to the Federal Government then for the Federal Government to collect the money skim some off the top and give the remainder back to the states with restrictions and strict conditions of accountability.

It is time to only allow a consensus of the Individual States to commit the United States to war.

It is time to save the Jews and the rest of the world from the Zionist Terrorists, the same as the Germans and the rest of the world were saved from the Nazi Terrorists.

It is time for the United States to stop being a Zionist Republic and a Big Bully for the Zionist Terrorists and return to being an American Republic with American Values which other people can follow by their own freewill if they so choose.

Will the States Standup before the People Standup?

Amen!

I thought you’d like to check out the political allegory of mine that I recently found a literary agent for. It’s a story set in the context of a teacher discussing with his class all of the evidence that the Bush administration is as corrupt as it is incompetent; and how to rectify the Constitutional crisis we face. It’s couched in a discussion about the urgent need to stop abusing Mother Nature. I wrote in 3 dozen celebrities to play the students, so it’s very funny despite how infuriating it is. You can read it at www.stoplittering.com/theswitch.htm      and, yes, StopLittering.com is my site.

And enjoy this poem of mine…

If Jesus Were Alive Today

If Jesus were alive today,
He'd surely feel despair,
Amidst a world of plenty,
And a bounty that's not shared.

If Jesus were alive today,
He wouldn't understand,
The system of oppression,
And how so few give a damn.

If Jesus were alive today,
He'd certainly be distraught,
Because the animals of Earth,
Are not treated as they ought.

If Jesus were alive today,
His eyes would have some tears,
And based on all the evidence,
I'd say he was sincere.

If Jesus were alive today,
He'd have to jump and shout,
To wake us from our slumber:
"THE FUTURE IS IN DOUBT!!"

If Jesus were alive today,
You know he'd try in vain,
To save us from each other...
(No doubt he'd go insane.)

If Jesus were alive today,
I expect we'd be rebuked;
It is likely he'd remark:
"Knock it off before I puke."

If Jesus were alive today,
No way he'd vote for Bush;
To those who say he should,
He'd say,"Kiss my tush!"

If Jesus were alive today,
With Bushies he'd be pissed:
"Ignorance is no defence!
Otherwise, get yourself a psychiatrist."

If Jesus were alive today,
He'd put John Kerry in his place,
As the world's lamest candidate:
"Why'd they even let that Jackass race?!"

If Jesus were alive today,
Boy, would Congress get a smack,
For practically everything they've done,
Especially for trusting Jr. with Iraq.

If Jesus were alive today,
He'd say the media was to blame:
"Don't think I haven't noticed,
That you people have no shame."

If Jesus were alive today,
The Democrats he would scorn,
For keeping out Wes Clark:
"Was it yesterday these fools were born?!"

If Jesus were alive today,
His sense of humor would be great.

Too wry, perhaps, for some,

But that’s how he’d get laid.

If Jesus were alive today,
He'd be branded as a cynic,
Because no one wants to hear,
If it's raining at their picnic.

If Jesus were alive today,
He'd force us all to see,
That hope and love are the answer,
To who we're supposed to be.

Clean House and Senate and start over

I agree...we've got to institute term limits and public finance.  We need new blood ever so often not professional politicians who abuse their privilege.

by Joe Eichler (3 articles, 0 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 12 comments) on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at 10:43:07 AM
 

It's not as simple as that

We have a doctrine known as sovereign immunity where the government decides who can sue them and on what grounds otherwise every nut with a gripe would have the government endlessly tied up defending itself from lawsuits and nothing would ever get done. And who do you think ends up paying for any financial reward granted by the courts when the government gets sued? We do. So you're not suing the government, but your fellow citizens because all of our taxes end up increasing to pay off the judgement. I'll be pretty damn pissed off at any of you who sues the government and cause my taxes to go up as a result and the rest of you should be, too.
