The Socialists (so called Progressives) have taken over our Democratic Party, including a small portion of the Republican Party. They have no allegiance to our Democratic Party, or our way of life as free Americans. Their sole agenda is based on transforming our Nation into a Mao and Marxist type of government. The Socialist Party of America announced in their newsletter that 70 Congressional democrats currently belong to their caucus. American Socialist Voter– Question: How many members of the U.S. Congress are also members of the DSA? Question: How many of the DSA members sit on the Judiciary Committee? Question: Who are these members of 111th Congress?

June 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party might self-destruct, for the left is beginning to turn on the Democratic Party administration in Washington. Some of the radical organizations include the communists, hard core socialists, Code Pink, Seiu, etc. Furthermore, President Obama and the other progressive representatives in Washington are now starting to realize the Marxist and Communist radical revolutionaries within their ranks are turning on them, and they can no longer control them. Over the coming months it will be interesting to watch if they continue to tear each other apart. We can only hope it will eventually help cleanse our government of these types of politicians, including their hardcore Marxist and Communist radical revolutionaries they have associated themselves with. One of the most recent examples of this can be seen in the below video as Nancy Pelosi is heckled with having objects thrown at her by Code Pink: Posted in Marxist Government, Nancy Pelosi, Communist Radicals, Marxist Radicals, Progressivism, Progressives, Democratic Party, President Obama, Socialism In America, Federal Government, Politics | 4 Comments » Democratic Party News - Head of Marxist-led institute joins Obama team.31. May 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
President Obama is continuing to implement the progressive agenda based on a Marxist form of socialized government. This agenda includes placing hard-line Marxist as lead administrators of major government agencies. The below is one of the latest examples of this fact. (WorldNetDaily.com) - The policy director at a George Soros-funded, Marxist-founded organization calling itself Free Press has just taken a key State Department position, WND has learned. Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott has been named a policy adviser for innovation at the State Department. We will miss Ben’s leadership, wise counsel, and strategic brilliance – for Free Press and the overall movement for media and technology policy in the public interest,” said Free Press President Josh Silver. Free Press is a well-known advocate of government intervention in the Internet. Scott authored a book, “The Future of Media,” which was edited by the founder of Free Press, Robert W. McChesney. McChesney is an avowed Marxist who has recommended capitalism be dismantled. He is a professor at the University of Illinois and former editor of the Marxist journal Monthly Review. In February 2009, McChesney wrote in a column, “In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.” The board of Free Press has included a slew of radicals, such as Obama’s former “green jobs” czar Van Jones, who resigned after it was exposed he founded a communist organization. Last week, WND reported Free Press published a study advocating the development of a “world class” government-run media system in the U.S. Now the group is pushing a new organization, StopBigMedia.com, that advocates the downfall of “big media” and the creation of new media to “promote local ownership, amplify minority voices, support quality journalism, and bring local artists, voices and viewpoints to the airwaves.” Free Press has ties to other members of the Obama administration. Obama’s “Internet czar,” Susan P. Crawford, spoke at a Free Press’s May 14, 2009, “Changing Media” summit in Washington, D.C. Crawford’s pet project, OneWebNow, lists as “participating organizations” Free Press and the controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. Crawford and Kevin Werbach, who co-directed the Obama transition team’s Federal Communications Commission Review team, are advisory board members at Public Knowledge, a George Soros-funded public interest group. A Public Knowledge advisory board member is Timothy Wu, who is also chairman of the board for Free Press. Like Public Knowledge, Free Press also has received funds from Soros’ Open Society Institute.

Every candidate he backed lost.20. May 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
(The Los Angles Times) - Delivering a powerful message of discontent, voters Tuesday swept out veteran Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, nominated a “tea party” movement founder for a Senate seat in Kentucky and forced Sen. Blanche Lincoln into a runoff for the Democratic nomination in Arkansas. Looking shell-shocked and speaking to fewer than 100 supporters in a half-empty ballroom, Specter delivered a brief speech in Philadelphia conceding the Democratic race to two-term Rep. Joe Sestak — marking the end of his 30-year Senate career. Specter was a Republican the whole time save the last year, when he switched parties in a failed bid to keep his seat. “It has been a great privilege to serve the people of Pennsylvania,” he said, with teary eyes, surrounded by his wife, son and grandchildren. In Kentucky, political novice Rand Paul delivered the tea party its biggest win since the movement’s emergence last year amid a backlash over bailouts and President Obama’s expansive agenda. Although Paul’s victory had been telegraphed by his big lead in polls, it was nonetheless seismic in scale, marking a significant breakthrough for the loosely knit protest movement. Up to now, activists have mainly lent their support to candidates who shared their principles, as opposed to backing one of their own. “I have a message,” Paul told supporters at a victory party in Bowling Green, “a message from the tea party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: ‘We have come to take our government back.’ ” In a fourth race watched closely for its national implications, Democrat Mark Critz defeated Republican Tim Burns in the fight to fill a Pennsylvania House seat vacated by the late Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha. Exultant Democrats seized on the win as a sign that they can withstand an expected Republican tide in November and keep control of the House. But the outcome elsewhere could give pause to many longtime lawmakers. Specter’s defeat was the third loss for a congressional incumbent in less than two weeks and was perhaps the most resonant. Unlike Republican Utah Sen. Robert F. Bennett, who was defeated at a convention of conservative activists, or Democratic West Virginia Rep. Alan B. Mollohan, who was shadowed by ethical problems, Specter was rejected by a statewide electorate that shrugged off the clout that came with his seniority. “It’s a wake-up call for every incumbent, Republican, Democrat, or anybody around the country,” a disappointed Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said as he left Specter’s election-night gathering. Although he enjoyed the backing of Obama, Specter was laboring under perhaps the heaviest burden of any candidate Tuesday, defending not just his long tenure in Washington but his admittedly self-interested party switch. Specter quit the Republicans — after casting a key vote in favor of Obama’s economic stimulus plan, outraging conservatives — because he said there was no longer a place for moderates like him. He built his campaign around the power he wielded as one of the longest-serving members of Congress — and how that worked to Pennsylvania’s benefit. But Sestak portrayed Specter, 80, as interested in nothing more than self-preservation and made frequent, if indirect, references to his age and history of health problems, including two bouts of Hodgkin’s lymphoma and a brain tumor. “His time has come and gone,” Sestak said. Casting her ballot Tuesday, Johnelle Duncan, 72, agreed. “We need new blood, new ideas,” the retired librarian said after voting for Sestak at Philadelphia’s Simon Community Center. Sestak, a retired admiral, addressed chanting supporters Tuesday night at a military academy outside Philadelphia. “This is what democracy looks like,” he shouted. “A win for the people over the establishment, over the status quo, even over Washington, D.C.” Sestak, 58, will face former Republican Rep. Pat Toomey, 48, in November’s general election. Toomey narrowly lost to Specter in the 2004 Republican Senate primary and is seen as the early front-runner to claim the seat. In Kentucky, Paul started far behind Secretary of State Trey Grayson, the handpicked candidate of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell, an architect of the Kentucky GOP, helped shove aside junior Sen. Jim Bunning, a fellow Republican, because he considered Grayson more electable. But Paul, 47, surged past him, thanks to a plain-spoken style and platform rooted in the tea party movement’s small-government tenets: He favors term limits, a balanced-budget amendment, a requirement lawmakers read every word of legislation before it passes and a stipulation that laws spell out their constitutional underpinning. “He’s not anyone’s lap dog,” said Dianna Knight, 62, a retired high school math teacher in Louisville, who said she supported Paul precisely because so many in the GOP leadership opposed him. Grayson and his allies sought to portray Paul, a Bowling Green eye doctor, as something of a kook. They cited, among other things, his support for legalizing medical marijuana and the view that America’s interventionist foreign policy was at least partly to blame for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the criticism served mainly to rally Paul supporters — many of whom backed his father for president in 2008 — and helped reinforce his image as a political outsider. Analysts consider the fall campaign against Democratic Atty. Gen. Jack Conway a toss-up, suggesting Paul may not stand up well to scrutiny in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans and voters are accustomed to their long-serving lawmakers bringing home Washington largesse. In Arkansas, Lincoln faced a fierce challenge from Halter, who attacked her equivocal stance on healthcare — she supported the overhaul bill on initial passage, but opposed its final approval — and accused her of being too friendly to Wall Street and insufficiently supportive of organized labor. Outside groups, led by labor unions, poured millions of dollars into a negative ad campaign pummeling Lincoln. Lincoln and Halter will face each other in a June 8 runoff for the chance to take on Republican Rep. John Boozman in the fall. Boozman starts as a strong favorite to win that contest.

January 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
The Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a prominent Democratic Party campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids. Despite President Obama’s long history of criticizing the Bush administration for “sweetheart deals” with favored contractors, the Obama administration this month awarded a $25 million federal contract for work in Afghanistan to a company owned by a Democratic campaign contributor without entertaining competitive bids. The contract, awarded on Jan. 4 to Checchi & Company Consulting, Inc., a Washington-based firm owned by economist and Democratic Party donor Vincent V. Checchi, will pay the firm $24,673,427 to provide “rule of law stabilization services” in war-torn Afghanistan. Update: Interestingly, according to FedSpending.org, the new contract is about a third of what Checchi got over the previous eight years put together — 92% of which came in full competition. Suddenly, in the Obama administration, Checchi gets a pass from competition and a big contract to go along with it. Hope and (Spare) Change! Update II: Looks like Vincent and Adam Checchi maxed out their donations to Obama in the last election cycle. Together with their employees, Checchi donated over $14,000 to Democratic presidential candidates. They also tossed a few spare dollars to the DNC and MoveOn. Update III: Real Clear Politics has Obama himself invoking Halliburton while saying that the days of “sweetheart deals” to campaign donors and lobbyists would be over if he was elected President. Posted in Federal Government, Corruption And Lies, President Obama, Democratic Party, Politics | No Comments » Democratic Party News - New Executive Order gives our President Obama Dictator Power.22. January 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
An Obama executive order that creates a council of state governors who will work with the feds to expand military involvement in domestic security, together with PDD 51, a Bush era executive order that gives the President dictatorial power in times of national emergency, eliminate the last roadblocks to declaring martial law in the United States. It should be strongly noted the decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency. In other words, this act would not give Congress any oversight, no rights for business or people to take any legal or civil actions. And it basically tells the American people to go fornicate themselves. The new order, which is entitled Establishment of the Council of Governors (PDF), creates a body of ten state governors directly appointed by Obama who will work with the federal government to help advance the “synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States”. The governors will liaise with officials from Northcom, Homeland Security, the National Guard as well as DoD officials from the Pentagon “in order to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State governments,” according to the executive order. The exective order combines seamlessly with Presidential Decision Directive 51 to hand Obama dictator status in times of declared, and not necessarily genuine, national emergency. In May 2007, former President George W. Bush sparked much alarm by openly declaring himself to be a dictator in the event of a national emergency under provisions that effectively nullify the U.S. constitution, but such an infrastructure has been in place for over 70 years and this merely represented a re-authorization of martial law powers. Legislation signed on May 9, 2007, declares that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power. Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic “security”, was signed earlier without the approval or oversight of Congress and seemingly supercedes the National Emergency Act which allows the president to declare a national emergency but also requires that Congress have the authority to “modify, rescind, or render dormant” such emergency authority if it believes the president has acted inappropriately. These new powers have now been handed over to President Obama, allowing him, along with a body of councillors personally selected by him, to declare martial law without there necessarily being a genuine national emergency, greasing the skids for U.S. troops and National Guard to conduct domestic policing of the American people. In October 2008, Northcom, a Unified Combatant Command of the United States military based out of Peterson AFB, Colorado Springs, was assigned the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team returning from Iraq. An alarming September 8 Army Times report which was later denied after it sparked controversy stated that the troops would be used by Northcom to deal with “civil unrest and crowd control” in the aftermath of a national emergency. The Obama executive order states that governors will help advise the feds on National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities. The fact that the order further blurs the lines between state and federal power, as well as greasing the skids for more military involvement in domestic affairs has stoked fears that Obama may be laying the groundwork for his promised “national civilian security force”. In July 2007, Congressman Peter DeFazio (D – OR) was asked by his constituents to see what was contained within the classified portion of the White House’s plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack. Since DeFazio also sits on the Homeland Security Committee and has clearance to view classified material, the request would have appeared to be routine, but the Congressman was unceremoniously denied all access to view the documents, and the White House wouldn’t even give an excuse as to why he was barred. “I just can’t believe they’re going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack,” DeFazio told the Oregonian. “We’re talking about the continuity of the government of the United States of America,” DeFazio says. “I would think that would be relevant to any member of Congress, let alone a member of the Homeland Security Committee.” “Maybe the people who think there’s a conspiracy out there are right,” DeFazio concluded. Conservatives and libertarians responded to the announcement by expressing their suspicion that Obama is preparing to give governors their marching orders in targeting “anti-government” types that have long been characterized as a terrorist threat by the feds in numerous reports stretching back over a decade. “There is a definite purpose to this,” wrote one commenter on the popular Free Republic website, “The initial steps toward a domestic “Civilian Security Force” in each state, as called for by the fascisti during the campaign. It will be coordinated at the state level, under the authority of DHS and DoD and assorted agencies. The provision will be made for it to be “federalized” in an emergency, as is the National Guard.” “This is a concrete step toward eliminating the independent authority and dissolving the sovereignty of the several States. It lays the groundwork for the end of the United States as a Republic,” she adds. Others warn that Obama could be preparing to cancel elections under the justification of a national emergency, a fear that was often expressed when Bush was in office but one that never materialized. However, the executive order clearly represents another assault on Posse Comitatus, the 1878 law that bars the military from exercising domestic police powers, which was temporarily annulled by the 2006 John Warner National Defense Authorization Act before parts of it were later repealed.

Posted in Federal Government, Socialism In America, WakeUp America, President Obama, Constitution Violations | No Comments » Our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are increasing our Federal Debt.21. January 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
Some facts about the federal debt: It took the country from George Washington until Ronald Reagan—approximately 200 years—to reach the first $1 trillion in debt. When politicians talk about reducing the deficit, they are not talking about the debt. Politicians driven by short-term election goals focus on short-term problems. For example, President Bush once told us the problem was shrinking, pointing to the annual federal budget deficit, which fell from a high of $413 billion in fiscal 2004 to about $163 billion in fiscal 2007. The debt, meanwhile, continues to skyrocket. All of the taxes you pay, including Social Security, are used for today’s government services and benefits, not saved for the future. According to the government’s Office of Management and Budget, “there are no economic assets in the Social Security trust fund.” According to the Government Accountability Office, if spending on government retirement programs remains on its current course and revenues grow at their historical averages, interest on the debt could skyrocket from its current 9 percent to almost 30 percent of the budget by 2040. Fed Chairman Ben Bernake has stated that the time to solve this problem was “ten years ago.” Meanwhile, Congressional Quarterly reports that a delay of even 10 years in solving this will double the required pain to solve it. We are now considering making the nation’s fiscal problems much worse by expanding entitlements and bail-outs. Fiscal 2009 will add more than a trillion dollars to the federal debt via deficit spending and as much as another five trillion in unfunded liabilities. The above sounds bad enough—but it gets even worse. Together with unfunded liabilities (all of the benefits that the government has promised to seniors, Baby Boomers, and other citizens) our nation is in the hole for nearly $62 trillion dollars. Politicians will tell you that the federal debt is around $12 trillion. That’s more than $200,000 for every man, woman, and child in America, and it’s growing every day. We have been diagnosed with fiscal cancer,” says David Walker, the retired chief auditor of the United States government. “It seems clear that our nation’s current fiscal path is unsustainable.” As the people who pay the bills, it’s time to demand more of our political leaders—and to demand real solutions to an issue that could soon lead to a crisis. That’s what Truth in 2010 is all about. Join us today. Why does our national debt matter? Nonpartisan financial experts tell us that our nation faces a unique set of pressures (to spend increasing amounts on health care, to sustain retirees’ benefits with fewer active workers, and to fund the growing amount of interest on the national debt) that could culminate in a massive economic crisis. Bob Bixby, the head of the Concord Coalition, points out that no one can predict when this crisis will erupt—or if it will unfold as “a long, slow erosion in the standard of living.” To each of us, that would mean less choices in life, less freedom, and less of the things we take for granted each day. With its shaky financial position and dozens of unfunded promises, the United States also faces threats to national security. With its financial assets in quicksand, the US would be less able to compete on an international level and less able to counter threats from competitors abroad. As our nation slips deeper and deeper into debt, it loses its flexibility, its power, and even its ability to operate on a very basic level. The bottom line: the national debt matters because we, the people, are the ones who pay the bills. We are the ones who will be impacted by a financial crisis. That’s why it is crucial to spread the Truth in 2010. Posted in Federal Debt, Social Security, Federal Government | No Comments » Democratic Party News - New Hampshire to Outlaw Federal Agents?16. January 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
Imagine a state law that says that any federal agent that comes into said state and runs afoul of a new state law should be considered a felon! Well, that is what New Hampshire is about to do if HB1285 passes during the coming 2010 legislative session. HB1285 is another one of those laws that exempts all firearms and firearms accessories that are made in a state from certain federal restrictions if they remain in that state. Several states have made attempts to implement these 10th Amendment laws and New Hampshire intends to be one of the next to do so. Thus far Montana and Tennessee have passed their own firearms freedom acts and thirteen or so other states have introduced or are introducing laws that exempts local firearms industries and accessories as well as in-state firearms owners from overweening federal gun banning laws. To be sure, these laws have not yet been challenged in a Supreme Court case and there is no doubt that they will be, but until that happens as each state passes its own firearms act exempting its in-state manufacturers and owners from federal laws we cannot help but expect an increasing amount of tension to build up between the states and the federal government as a result. All that said, there is an interesting aspect of the New Hampshire law that goes a step beyond that of other states, that being the aforementioned idea of making felons of federal agents that dare to try and implement federal firearms laws that conflict with the new state laws. Here is section II. of the Penalty section of New Hampshire’s proposed new Lawful Commerce in Firearms law: (my emphasis) II. Any official, agent, or employee of the government of the United States, or employee of a corporation providing services to the government of the United States that enforces or attempts to enforce a act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the government of the United States upon a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in New Hampshire and that remains within the State of New Hampshire shall be guilty of a class B felony. Interesting is it not? This law would make a felon of any federal agent that tries to implement a federal firearms law that conflicts with New Hampshire’s new firearms law. That is simply an astonishing flourish, is it not? Whatever happens these laws are setting up a certain clash between the states and the federal government. unless the federal government follows the states to the same destination for firearms regulations, that is. So, it’s a waiting game. Which will come first? Will the feds follow the states to the same firearm regulation conclusions or will the feds haul the states into court? It ought to be an interesting few years in firearms law making. Posted in State Sovereignty, Federal Government, Right To Bear Arms | No Comments » Democratic Party News - Why our Democratic Party Health-Care Bills Are Unconstitutional.2. January 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
By ORRIN G. HATCH, J. KENNETH BLACKWELL AND KENNETH A. KLUKOWSKIPresident Obama’s health-care bill is now moving toward final passage. The policy issues may be coming to an end, but the legal issues are certain to continue because key provisions of this dangerous legislation are unconstitutional. Legally speaking, this legislation creates a target-rich environment. We will focus on three of its more glaring constitutional defects. First, the Constitution does not give Congress the power to require that Americans purchase health insurance. Congress must be able to point to at least one of its powers listed in the Constitution as the basis of any legislation it passes. None of those powers justifies the individual insurance mandate. Congress’s powers to tax and spend do not apply because the mandate neither taxes nor spends. The only other option is Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. Congress has many times stretched this power to the breaking point, exceeding even the expanded version of the commerce power established by the Supreme Court since the Great Depression. It is one thing, however, for Congress to regulate economic activity in which individuals choose to engage; it is another to require that individuals engage in such activity. That is not a difference in degree, but instead a difference in kind. It is a line that Congress has never crossed and the courts have never sanctioned. In fact, the Supreme Court in United States v. Lopez (1995) rejected a version of the commerce power so expansive that it would leave virtually no activities by individuals that Congress could not regulate. By requiring Americans to use their own money to purchase a particular good or service, Congress would be doing exactly what the court said it could not do. Some have argued that Congress may pass any legislation that it believes will serve the “general welfare.” Those words appear in Article I of the Constitution, but they do not create a free-floating power for Congress simply to go forth and legislate well. Rather, the general welfare clause identifies the purpose for which Congress may spend money. The individual mandate tells Americans how they must spend the money Congress has not taken from them and has nothing to do with congressional spending. A second constitutional defect of the Reid bill passed in the Senate involves the deals he cut to secure the votes of individual senators. Some of those deals do involve spending programs because they waive certain states’ obligation to contribute to the Medicaid program. This selective spending targeted at certain states runs afoul of the general welfare clause. The welfare it serves is instead very specific and has been dubbed “cash for cloture” because it secured the 60 votes the majority needed to end debate and pass this legislation. A third constitutional defect in this ObamaCare legislation is its command that states establish such things as benefit exchanges, which will require state legislation and regulations. This is not a condition for receiving federal funds, which would still leave some kind of choice to the states. No, this legislation requires states to establish these exchanges or says that the Secretary of Health and Human Services will step in and do it for them. It renders states little more than subdivisions of the federal government. This violates the letter, the spirit, and the interpretation of our federal-state form of government. Some may have come to consider federalism an archaic annoyance, perhaps an amusing topic for law-school seminars but certainly not a substantive rule for structuring government. But in New York v. United States (1992) and Printz v. United States (1997), the Supreme Court struck down two laws on the grounds that the Constitution forbids the federal government from commandeering any branch of state government to administer a federal program. That is, by drafting and by deliberate design, exactly what this legislation would do. The federal government may exercise only the powers granted to it or denied to the states. The states may do everything else. This is why, for example, states may have authority to require individuals to purchase health insurance but the federal government does not. It is also the reason states may require that individuals purchase car insurance before choosing to drive a car, but the federal government may not require all individuals to purchase health insurance. This hardly exhausts the list of constitutional problems with this legislation, which would take the federal government into uncharted political and legal territory. Analysts, scholars and litigators are just beginning to examine the issues we have raised and other issues that may well lead to future litigation. America’s founders intended the federal government to have limited powers and that the states have an independent sovereign place in our system of government. The Obama/Reid/Pelosi legislation to take control of the American health-care system is the most sweeping and intrusive federal program ever devised. If the federal government can do this, then it can do anything, and the limits on government power that our liberty requires will be more myth than reality. Mr. Hatch, a Republican senator from Utah, is a former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Mr. Blackwell is a senior fellow with the Family Research Council and a professor at Liberty University School of Law. Mr. Klukowski is a fellow and senior legal analyst with the American Civil Rights Union.

January 2010 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
Many citizens in this great country, mostly young adults and liberals, do not comprehend (or do and don’t care) how fundamentally, remarkably and negatively President Obama is transforming America, right before our very eyes. Like my teacher and mentor, Dennis Prager, I believe America is the greatest country in the history of the world because of very specific and unique values we hold so dearly. Most important among these values is the American Trinity (which Dennis explains in detail below): E Pluribus Unum (from many one), God and Liberty. And in my opinion, liberty is paramount. President Obama and the liberal Congress are corroding these values, unlike any US Government in history.By massively expanding the size and scope of the government, Obama is taking more power and freedom out of the hands of the American people, and giving it to the government. By raising taxes, Obama is reducing, perhaps, our greatest rights as American citizens and humans; private property and the right to do what one please with the fruits of their labor. By pushing cap and trade legislation, Obama is reducing the freedom with which American businesses can operate. By advocating socialized healthcare, Obama is putting 1/6th of the entire GDP into the hands of the government, essentially ruining our healthcare system; a system that is no doubt flawed and in need of improvements, but inarguably the greatest healthcare system in the world. Furthermore, by not participating in the National day of prayer, the President is sending a signal that God does not play an important role in our country. This is nothing new, as the left has long abandoned the idea that God plays a pivotal role in American exceptionalism, as lefty organizations such as the ACLU attack God and religion every chance they get — promoting the outlaw of an optional moment of silence to be held in public schools, and demanding the words, “under God” be stripped from the pledge of allegiance. It was with the utmost intention that the second paragraph of the declaration of independence states: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” It is obvious what the founders intended when they used the word “creator.” Americans get our rights directly from G-d, not from the government. Once God is taken out of the picture then natural rights and liberty are tenuous and left up to the whim of politicians. This is one of the main reasons Communist countries were, and still are, synonymous with secularism and totalitarianism, as the all encompassing government crowds out the necessity of God and natural rights. Yes, that’s right, we as Democrats voted for change in 2008, and change is precisely what we’re getting.

December 2009 by Democratic Party News - The News of the Democratic Party.
The number of federal employees making over $100,000 per year has exploded in the first 18 months of the recession, USA Today reports, sending the total percentage from 14 percent to 19 percent. The highest-paid federal workers are seeing the largest increases: In the same period, the number of civil servants making over $150,000 jumped from 1,868 to 10,100. When the recession began, only one person at the Department of Transportation was making over $170,000. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees do. The skyrocketing federal pay is systematic, reaching every level in every agency. Congress approved across-the-board raises of 3 percent in January 2008 and 3.9 percent in January 2009. President Obama has recommended 2 percent pay raises in January 2010, the smallest since 1975. Most federal employees get “steps” — pay increases based on length of service — that can run up to 1.5 percent per year. Several laws have made it easier to raise federal workers’ salaries, particularly the National Security Pay Scale, which allows the Defense Department to award merit-based salary increases. And while many agencies prohibit employees from making more than the agency’s head, increases in bosses’ pay has allowed earnings to rise for everyone below.

WAKE UP AMERICA - IT MAYBE ALREADY TO LATE. . . United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1993 Vol. 33, page H-1303 Speaker-Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House: “Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11.. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner’s report that will lead to our demise. It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent. H.J.R. 192, 73rd Congress m session June 5, 1933 - Joint Resolution To Suspend The Gold Standard and Abrogate The Gold Clause dissolved the Sovereign Authority of the United States and the official capacities of all United States Governmental Offices, Officers, and Departments and is further evidence that the United States Federal Government exists today in name only. The receivers of the United States Bankruptcy are the International Bankers, via the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. All United States Offices, Officials, and Departments are now operating within a de facto status in name only under Emergency War Powers. With the Constitutional Republican form of Government now dissolved, the receivers of the Bankruptcy have adopted a new form of government for the United States. This new form of government is known as a Democracy, being an established Socialist/Communist order under a new governor for America. This act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part: “The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the United States?’ Gold and silver were such a powerful money during the founding of the united states of America, that the founding fathers declared that only gold or silver coins can be “money” in America. Since gold and silver coinage were heavy and inconvenient for a lot of transactions, they were stored in banks and a claim check was issued as a money substitute. People traded their coupons as money, or “currency.” Currency is not money, but a money substitute. Redeemable currency must promise to pay a dollar equivalent in gold or silver money. Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) make no such promises, and are not “money.” A Federal Reserve Note is a debt obligation of the federal United States government, not “money?’ The federal United States government and the U.S. Congress were not and have never been authorized by the Constitution for the united states of America to issue currency of any kind, but only lawful money, -gold and silver coin. It is essential that we comprehend the distinction between real money and paper money substitute. One cannot get rich by accumulating money substitutes, one can only get deeper into debt. We the People no longer have any “money.” Most Americans have not been paid any “money” for a very long time, perhaps not in their entire life. Now do you comprehend why you feel broke? Now, do you understand why you are “bankrupt,” along with the rest of the country? Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) are unsigned checks written on a closed account. FRNs are an inflatable paper system designed to create debt through inflation (devaluation of currency). when ever there is an increase of the supply of a money substitute in the economy without a corresponding increase in the gold and silver backing, inflation occurs. Inflation is an invisible form of taxation that irresponsible governments inflict on their citizens. The Federal Reserve Bank who controls the supply and movement of FRNs has everybody fooled. They have access to an unlimited supply of FRNs, paying only for the printing costs of what they need. FRNs are nothing more than promissory notes for U.S. Treasury securities (T-Bills) - a promise to pay the debt to the Federal Reserve Bank. There is a fundamental difference between “paying” and “discharging” a debt. To pay a debt, you must pay with value or substance (i.e. gold, silver, barter or a commodity). With FRNs, you can only discharge a debt. You cannot pay a debt with a debt currency system. You cannot service a debt with a currency that has no backing in value or substance. No contract in Common law is valid unless it involves an exchange of “good & valuable consideration.” Unpayable debt transfers power and control to the sovereign power structure that has no interest in money, law, equity or justice because they have so much wealth already. Their lust is for power and control. Since the inception of central banking, they have controlled the fates of nations. The Federal Reserve System is based on the Canon law and the principles of sovereignty protected in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In fact, the international bankers used a “Canon Law Trust” as their model, adding stock and naming it a “Joint Stock Trust.” The U.S. Congress had passed a law making it illegal for any legal “person” to duplicate a “Joint Stock Trust” in 1873. The Federal Reserve Act was legislated post-facto (to 1870), although post-facto laws are strictly forbidden by the Constitution. [1:9:3] The Federal Reserve System is a sovereign power structure separate and distinct from the federal United States government. The Federal Reserve is a maritime lender, and/or maritime insurance underwriter to the federal United States operating exclusively under Admiralty/Maritime law. The lender or underwriter bears the risks, and the Maritime law compelling specific performance in paying the interest, or premiums are the same. Assets of the debtor can also be hypothecated (to pledge something as a security without taking possession of it.) as security by the lender or underwriter. The Federal Reserve Act stipulated that the interest on the debt was to be paid in gold. There was no stipulation in the Federal Reserve Act for ever paying the principle. Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, free and clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913) “Hypothecated” all property within the federal United States to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, -in which the Trustees (stockholders) held legal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a “beneficiary” of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, the federal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties, assets and labor of their “subjects,” the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, to the Federal Reserve System. In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal United States corporation all the credit “money substitute” it needed. Like any other debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collateral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the federal United States didn’t have any assets, they assigned the private property of their “economic slaves”, the U.S. citizens as collateral against the unpayable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federal territories, national parks forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit organizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been transferred as payment to the international bankers. Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American Revolution, feudal roots whereby all land is held by a sovereign and the common people had no rights to hold allodial title to property. Once again, We the People are the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own property from a Sovereign in the guise of the Federal Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one master for another. This has been going on for over eighty years without the “informed knowledge” of the American people, without a voice protesting loud enough. Now it’s easy to grasp why America is fundamentally bankrupt. Why don’t more people own their properties outright? Why are 90% of Americans mortgaged to the hilt and have little or no assets after all debts and liabilities have been paid? Why does it feel like you are working harder and harder and getting less and less? We are reaping what has been sown, and the results of our harvest is a painful bankruptcy, and a foreclosure on American property, precious liberties, and a way of life. Few of our elected representatives in Washington, D.C. have dared to tell the truth. The federal United States is bankrupt. Our children will inherit this unpayable debt, and the tyranny to enforce paying it. America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an undeclared economic war, bankruptcy, and economic slavery of the most corrupt order! Wake up America! Take back your Country.” Posted in U.S. Bankruptcy, Federal Government, Federalism, WakeUp America, Politics | No Comments » |
