The White House today announced a new online tool to help people petition the government and get official feedback. In a statement, President Obama said the new "We the People" feature helps fulfill his campaign promise to make government more open and accountable.
The "We the People," when it launches later this month, will allow people to create petitions for specific government actions and gather signatures for the petitions. If a…
I always tell my friends that a lame duck Congress is the most dangerous time for all of us in the two year cycle of a given U.S. Congress. Our representatives and senators seem to lose their inhibitions in this almost two month cycle, running rampant on our liberties like vacationers visiting Club Med.
The most recent evidence of this came this morning, in the form of a vote by the House Judiciary Committee on… Continue
Jim Traficant’s 2010 congressional race is arguably the nation’s most important election, and that is why “they” totally ignore it—to make sure the American people, especially the good folks in Ohio’s 17th district in Youngstown, don’t even know “Big Jim” is running.
You may ask if doing the right thing is even a factor in American elections anymore.
When America was still America, choosing the right thing was understood to be the reason for any… Continue
"... as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people.
Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never… Continue
(CNSNews.com) - Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz. told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama has “got his hands wrapped around our throat” as his administration sues the state of Arizona for trying to enforce the immigration laws that the federal government itself will not enforce.
Dever also said he has “zero confidence” Obama will secure the border before his presidential term is up in two years and that the president is… Continue
....sixty odd years ago someone used this story to supremely evil ends....
More years ago than I care to admit, in high school I was forced to read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell and at the time I hated it.
Recently I reread the book and knowing what I know now, I would almost bet money that it is no longer taught in the government sponsored education system. Why?
The book outlines the process of what is being done in this country and so eloquently illustrates… Continue

Not only would it reduce cost, but we, the public, could keep tabs on their antics and kick ass when needed . .
Here:
When a company falls on difficult times, one of the things that seems to happen is they reduce their staff and workers. The remaining workers must find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well.
Wall street, and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of "tough decision", and… Continue

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday approved an expansion of federal "hate crime" laws -- an effort that former Republican President George W. Bush had opposed.
On a vote of 249-175, the House passed and sent to the Senate a bill backed by the new Democratic White House to broaden such laws by classifying as "hate crimes" those attacks based on a victim's sexual orientation, gender identity or mental or physical disability.
The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama’s promised “civilian national security force” intensify.
The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed… Continue
