The Obama administration and the Socialist Democrats want to bypass the Electoral College vote and elect our president by popular vote, without passing an amendment to the Constitution.

Election by Popular Vote “vs” Electoral Votes. Election by popular vote means if a candidate wins 51% of the popular vote in California, which has a total of 55 electoral votes, the candidate gets all 55 electoral votes. The 49% of those who voted against him, their votes basically don’t count. So a candidate could win the election with 14 or 15 states, leaving the rest of the country without a voice. This is not how it was intended to be by our Founding Fathers and is 100% uncontitutional!  Our Founding Fathers knew that some states which were less populated may have only 4 Electoral Votes. To insure everyones voice was heard, if each candidate won 50 % of the vote, each candidate recieved 2 Electorial votes from that state. If one candidate won 75% and the other 25% of the votes, this gave one candidate 3 Electoral votes and the other, one. In order to win the presidency 270 electoral votes are needed out of the 538 Electoral votes nationally. It would be very easy for a president to win an election if he won two or three smaller states and received 51% of the votes in 11 of the most populated states. This administration wants you to believe that By Popular Vote means your voice is heard when it means just the opposite, You have No Voice. (How’s that for transparency.)  For the complete article please click here.

Who is behind the election by Popular vote campaign?  First there is Common Cause whose president and CEO is Bob Edgar, former head of the National Council of Churches which has been linked to communist activity. Common Cause is funded by George Soros,  The Arca Foundation,  the Carnegie Corporation of NY, the Beldon Fund, the Joyce Foundation, etc.   Fred Werthiemer, former director of Common Cause, a friend of George Soros, and founder of Democracy 21,  which is behind the DISCLOSE ACT.  Democracy 21 also receives funding from George Soros.  The Brennan Center for Justice whose largest funding comes from George Soros, the Carnegie Corporation, the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Joyce Foundation,  the Pew Charitable Trust, etc.  FairVote, formerly the Center for Voting and Democracy, funded by George Soros’s OSI, the Rockefeller Foundation, Deer Creek Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Arca Foundation, etc.  Are you beginning to see a theme?  Soros, a believer in Open Society where the collective good overrides the rights of the individual, is basically funding the Popular Vote campaign.  Soros who believes  we need to reinterrupt the U.S. Constitution to better suit the “age of fallibility” which no longer recognizes the unalienable rights or divine providence.    An Open Society where the U.S. move be removed as a super power and the American people must be subjected to the will and wants of all the world’s people.  Do you truly believe they are pushing this agenda for the good of the U.S. voters?    Read more on Soros and “The Crisis of Global Capitalism” here. 

Each and everyone of us need to contact our Congressman and Senators in protest of this underhanded take over of our Federal Election Process.  We MUST also contact our state Delegates, state Senators and Governers to insure this does not happen in our state elections as well. Contact your Federal Senators here, and your Congressman here. Virginians may contact their state Senator here, their Delegates here and Governor McDonnell here. PLEASE, let your voice be heard now or it may be lost forever.

Obama and his Democratic Socialist are using every dirty trick in the book to try and assure his re-election. Has anyone noticed that Obama and his entourage use our Constitution when it comes to illegals or to advance their agenda, yet ignore and pretend it doesn’t exist when it comes to “We The People?”  WAKE UP AMERICA! Don’t remain sheep being lead to slaughter.

A George Soros funded Marxists founded organization FREE PRESS  is urging the Federal Communications Commission to investigate talk radio and cable news for “hate speech”.  Free Press claims that media companies are engaging in “hate speech” because a disportionate number are owned by non-minorities.  Does this mean that only minorities are entitled to free speech or that only non-minorities are racists?  Read petition to the FCC here.

The term “hate speech” has been around for quite a while.  It was Bill Clinton who gave a speech after the Oklahoma bombing  in which he said  that the nation’s  airwaves are too often used “to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us upset with each other.  [Such people] spread hate, that leaves the impression that, by their words that violence is acceptable. . .It is time we all stood up and spoke out against that kind of reckless speech and behavior.”       Of course, I haven’t heard Bill or Hillary or the President condemn the hate speech against the tea party movement – as a matter of fact, they have been guilty of it themselves.   Or is it only hate speech if it comes from the right? 

The new Black Panther movement is on video with such taunts as ” I  don’t give a d***  what they may think about white people.  I hate white people. All of them.  Every last iota of a cracker I hate him.”   “You want freedom you’re going to have to kill some crackers.  You’re going to have to kill some of their babies.”   WHERE IS ERIC HOLDER WHEN YOU NEED HIM?   Although the video on YouTube has been removed, they still have the transcript for all to read.

The far left loonies, the socialists progressives are all guilty of exactly what they are accusing the right of doing.  Perhaps we should consider filing a petition with the FCC  against them.  It may be a “get them before they get us”  mentality  but it’s time Americans stood up and said  We’re mad as hell and  we’re not  going to take it anymore!

Leftist lawyer Gloria Alfred likes to say that there is a differnce between “free speech” and “hate speech” – the former being protected by the U.S. Constitution and the latter must be criminalized.   Is free speech a radical version of what we like and hate speech is anything we oppose?  Free Speech – Burning the American Flag;  Hate Speech – insulting the Koran!  Painting Jesus in urine and Mary in feces is free speech but  a cartoon of Muhammad is hate speech!     A black English Professor at Virginia Tech,  Nikki Giovanni chose to eulogize the victims of the Virginia Tech Massacre with the following poem.  You decide if it is free speech or “hate speech”.  [You must forgive me but I can not bring myself to use the "n"  word as Professor Giovanni did.]

Can a  n***** kill a honkie;  Can a  n***** kill the Man;  Can you kill  n*****;  Huh?  n***** can you kill;  Do you know how to draw blood;  Can you poison;  Can you stab-a-Jew;  Can you kill huh?  n*****;   Can you kill;  Can you piss on a blond head;  Can you cut it off;  Can you kill;  A  n*****can die;  We ain’t got to prove we can die;  We got to prove we can kill;  They sent us to kill Japan and Africa;  We policed europe;  Can you kill;  Can you kill a white man;  Can you kill the n***** in you;  Can you make your n***** mind die;  Can you kill your n***** mind;  And free your black hands to strangle;  Can you kill;  Can a  n***** kill;  Can you shoot straight and fire for good measure;   Can you splatter their brains in the street;   Can you kill them;  Can you lure them to bed to kill them;  We kill in Viet Nam for them;  We kill for UN & NATO & SEATO & US;  And everywhere for all alphabet but BLACK;  Can we learn to kill WHITE for BLACK;  Learn to kill n******;  Learn to be Black men.

Professor Giovanni has been celebrated as Ebony Magazine’s Woman of the Year; received keys from New York, Dallas, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Los Angeles; and dozens of other awards and honors.  But, telling young Black students that they are  n****** unless they kill “honkies” is treated as free speech!  What is wrong with this picture?

In a country, founded on biblical principles, (our constitution), it seems only Christians are under attack.

“Christianity is not a religion, it is a reality.” Pastor Arnold Murray, Shepherd’s Chapel

In 2003, President Bush along with Congress established the President’s Emergency Plan (PEP) for AIDS Relief. HR5501 was signed into law to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.  The money, faith-based organizations received was used on HIV/AIDS prevention and promoting abstinence, delay of sexual debut, monogamy, fidelity and partner reduction, is explicitly administered by the president of the U.S. A brilliant move by President Bush because he alone determined policy. However, in March of 2009 the Obama administration changed the legislation to focus on gender-based violence because women of abuse were less likely to be tested for HIV/AIDS. Word came out of Washington, D.C. stating that, “If a faith-based organization was proselytizing  as part of their program, they lost their funding.

The Obama administration seems to be averse to funding faith-based (christian) organizations. At least five missionary groups who provide bibles, bible studies, food, medicine and water purification, etc., that work with ‘African Leadership’, (a christian education organization), lost their funding for refusal to give equal training of other religions.  Ray Walker, chief financial officer of ‘Source of Light Ministries International’, said the current situation should teach faith-based groups to trust the Lord, not government. “If you’re relying on government money, there are always strings attached and you have to bend to their will.”

Living Hope, a church based outreach and Source of Light Ministries International were among those who lost funding.

Obama, during his campaign said that he would extend the funding for charities that Bush started. The problem is, Obama made some changes.  Religious organizations and/or faith-based groups that take taxpayers money, who refuse to hire non-Christians, will lose their funding. Obama said he would increase faith-based funding ONLY IF they accept hiring rules like everyone else. Under the Bush administration, religious groups were exempt from civil rights laws that ban discrimination on the basis of religion, race or gender.  Obama has stretched out his arms to embrace the Muslim countries using our tax dollars to start an outreach program for them through NASA. Will they be held to the same set of rules?

In 2006, California Governor Schwarzenegger, signed SB 1441 which would require all business and organizations receiving funding from the state to CONDONE homosexuality, bisexuality, and transexuality or lose state funding. There is no exception for faith-based organizations or business owners with sincerely held religious convictions.

Karen England, Executive Director of Capital Resource Institute stated, “SB1441 is an outright, blatant assault on religious freedom in California.” Christian and faith-based colleges will be forced to promote transexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality, if they accept students with CAL Grants.

Why would our government, or any state, want to  promote and subject any type of perversion to our children? Where are the morals of our leaders? Are we to become another Sodom and Gomorrah?

Jesus said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me:” MT. 19:14

“Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”   John Adams

I think we can now say, we have a government of . . . . .any other.

“The White House and their allies on Capital Hill see honest critism as a threat to their liberal agenda”, Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) writes in his article “Bloggers Beware – They’re coming after you!” “Democrates in Congress are gearing up for a vote on new legislation to blatantly undermine the First Amendment, known as the Disclose act (HR 5175) written by the head of the Democrats congressional campaign committee. Under HR 5175 certain incorporated entities would be restricted in how they can exercise their rights of free speech. Many bloggers would have to jump through the same onerous new hoops as many businesses, non-profit organizations and even threats to democracy as your local Chamber of Commerce.”

You may view the complete article at Biggovernment.com.

Gunowners of America a Second Amendment group share their concerns as well:

As satisfying as it was for Obama to seize control of one-sixth of the economy, he has had to suffer protest from the “little people” (like us). So Obama is pushing the Orwellian “Disclose” bill (HR 5175) to make sure gun groups and other pro-freedom forces cannot mobilize their members on the upcoming elections.

Now when Obama says “disclose”, what he means is “disclose gun group membership list”.

These efforts to shut down free speech – I’m sure won’t apply to his allies like labor unions.

But, for the groups whose free speech is targeted for Obama’s wrath the consequences are severe:

• Under Title II of the bill, Gunowners of America (GOA) and other groups as well as many bloggers who merely mention public officials within 60 days of an election could be required to file onerous disclosures–potentially including their membership lists.
• Under Title II, gun groups could be requires to spend 15 seconds of a 30-second ad on government-written disclosures.
• In addition, Sections 201 through 203 would potentially put the government’s snooping eyes on any American who voices a political opinion, despite the fact that the Supreme Court, in Buckley v. Valeo declared that Americans have a right to voice their opinion to an unlimited extent if unconnected with a political campaign.

Immediate Action Required

Please urge your congressman to vote against the anti-gun HR 5175.

You may find your federal representative here.

You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center here to send a pre-written message to your representative free of charge.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free expression thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble. . .

The left is on a search and destroy mission to rid America of conservative points of view.

The Christian Science Monitor tags  tea party members as warmongers.  ABC, Newsweek and the New York Times call us ‘potential future terrorist’.  Bill Clinton tried to link us with Timothy McVeigh.  We have been mocked by Obama, called racists, hate mongers, militias, white supremacists, vigilantes out for liberal blood, guilty of sedition, and my personal favorite, dumb rednecks.  Dissent is a bad word if the government that is being opposed is liberal.

Citizens for Civility and Accountability in Media (CCAM) has gone after KMJ radio in Fresno, California, for having the nerve to carry conservative talk shows on their two stations.  According to their complaint,  ”Conservative talk radio is hate speech  that incites violence”.   http://fresnostophate.org/

Center for American Progress (CAP), a George Soros funded progressive activist organization, in its publication “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio”, states “there’s very little free speech and free choice in a market system that pushes one sided information 90% of the time.  http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=b3e194ec-1891-48fc-9e87-1af8ab08d534

On Friday, May 28, a coalition of 30 or more organizations announced that they are urging the FCC to regulate “hate speech”  on talk radio and cable broadcasting networks.  The coalition includes such groups as Free Press, Center for Media Justice, Media Alliance and the Benton Foundation.  http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/politics/3695-fcc-and-ftc-enemies-of-free-press-and-free-speech

The National Hispanic Media Coalition has joined forces with Free Press to monitor “hate speech”  against Latinos.  In 2009 they filed petitions for inquiry on hate speech in the media with the FCC.  “Hate speech thrives, as hate has developed as a profit model for syndicated radio programs and cable television masquerading as news.” http://www.freepress.net/node/80301

The National Council of Churches, the Presbyterian News Service, the Evangelical Luthern Church, and the Interfaith Coalition for Media Justice, run by Jeremiah Wright’s church, The United Council of Christ, have joined with the National Hispanic Media Coalition demanding that the FCC collect data, seek public comment and explore options for combating ”hate speech”   from critics of illegal immigration reform.   http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=742444

On May 24, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a draft proposal on ways to “reinvent”  journalism.  The agency feels that government should be at the center of a media overhaul.  All ideas put forth in the draft share a common theme  -  government takeover.  They offer such suggestions as the use of copyright license fees (taxes) to be distributed to various newspapers; tax exemptions for news organizations; establishment of an Americorps to pay reporters; a 5% electronic tax on laptops, I-pads, etc;  new taxes on radio and TV spectrum;  new taxes on advertisers and cell phones;  and, an increase in government funding to public broadcasting and public radio.    This may come as a surprise, but the FTC draft mirrors a recently published Free Press study, “New Public Media: A Plan for Action” .  http://www.ftc.gov/opp/workshops/news/jun15/docs/new-staff-discussion.pdf

Free Press, funded by George Soros,  is an advocate of government intervention in the internet and government run public media, supported by an array of new taxes.  Their founder, Robert McChesney, a self avowed Marxist, is a professor at the University of Illinois and former editor of the Marxist journal, “Monthly Review”.  According to McChesney, “Free Press allies are  now in place and in power at the FCC and in the White House”.  He has also said that “any serious effort to reform the media system would have to necessarily be part of a revolutionary program to overthrow the capitalist system itself.”  http://newsbusters.org/people/robert-mcchesney-julius-genachowski

McChesney is correct  -  he does have friends in high places.  Ben Scott,  an employee of Free Press, is a policy advisor for Innovation at the State Department. Scott’s claim to fame is a paper he wrote,  ”Future of Media, which tries to tie media reform to a  civil rights issue.  Cass Sunstein,  Regulatory Czar, author of “On Rumors” where he argues that websites should be obliged to remove false rumors and alter libel laws to make it easier to sue for spreading such rumors.  He has also argued for a “government ban on conspiracy theorizing such as advocating that global warming is a deliberate fraud.”   Jon Howard, spokesperson and liaison with the press at the FCC, is a former Free Press and Media Access Project employee.  Susan Crawford, Internet Czar, is an advisory board member at Public Knowledge, another George Soros funded ‘public interest group’.  Hillary Clinton,  Secretary of State,  is a friend of George Soros. “I have known George Soros for a long time. . . We need people like George Soros who is fearless and willing to step up when it counts”.   She is also friends with David Brock of Media Matters for American,  which George Soros helped fund, and Morton Halperin and John Podesta of Center for American Progress. http://www.earstohear.net/soros.html 

A second line of attack is the Fairness Doctrine spearheaded by endorsements from Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, John Kerry, Louise Slaughter and Dennis Kucinich, in partnership with Media Access Project,  Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) and Media Matters.  And, lets not forget Net Neutrality from Julius Genachowski, FCC Chairman and co-conspirator with Free Press. http://www.cnsnews.com/Public/Content/Article.aspx?rsrcid=44588    http://reboot.fcc.gov/futureofmedia/

Now all they have to do is appoint someone to the Supreme Court that shares their doctrines.   Meet Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, who in a 1993 article “Regulation of Hate Speech and Pornography”, written for the University of  Chicago Law Review, states “I take it as a given that we live in a society marred by racial and gender inequalities, that certain forms of speech perpetuate and promote this inequality, and the uncoerced disappearance of such speech would be cause for great elation.”  In a 1996 paper, “Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Governmental Motive in First Amendment Doctrine”, she argues that it may be proper to suppress speech because it is offensive to society or to the government.  “Redistribution of speech is not itself an illegitimate end for government.”  http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=152305

The more the government owns, the more it controls,  the less freedom we have. 

The Article can be found here.

Essentially the justices on the Supreme Court have referenced an UN treaty THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADOPTED BY THE U.S. Senate  as part of the basis for their ruling in a case in Fl. involving a child sentenced to life for armed robberies when he was 16 and 17.  They also say that the sentencing violated part of the 8th Amendment regarding “Cruel and Unusual punishment”.

The text of the 8th Amendement and related Commentary can be found here:

This is just another example of the work of an activist court and damage they are causing to our founding document and the principles and values at the heart of this country.

Please call, write, tell you Senators to support and become a sponsor the Senate Resolution 519  preventing the “Rights of the Child Treaty” to be sent to the floor of the Senate for a vote.

BUT PLEASE, TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND WATCH THESE VIDEOS!!!

Go to Our Caucus   and watch Article Two through five. 

The information that is here will blow you away.   This is eye opening and sickening at the same time.

I keep asking myself, it seems now more than ever …. What have we allowed to happen to this country?? 

The corruption is so bad………..  Please take a little time.

There is so much information about the founding fathers and how they arrived at the decisions in drafting the constitution and how the government was to be established.

Hopefully we will have another class in the not too distant future at another location. It is my belief that all members of the Tea Parties should take this class and all young people should get this education.  I my opinion it should be manditory in our schools.

This information was put together by the National Center for Constitutional Studies (NCCS)  their web site is www.nccs.net.

Look for future annoucnments about upcoming classes.
