Rajjpuut's Folly: Restoring Congressional Integrity for 2011 and Beyond

Hopefully, the next congress and all the congresses to come will reinstitute integrity into the House and Senate. Over the years Rajjpuut has received numerous e-mails dealing with the subject of congressional term limits. The last suggestions were pretty decent . . . so with a few deft adjustments, here is Rajjpuut’s . . . .
Term Limits and Political Reform Act**
for 2011


I. Term Limits:
President ten years maximum (for example: maximum two years during the term of a deceased president + two full four-year presidential terms.
Congress twelve years maximum, for example:

A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
D. Some other combination
2. No Tenure / No Pension for most politicians.
A Congressman collects a salary only while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office except those serving a full dozen years who would get a pension the equivalent of 1/20 of what a 20 year congressman now receives.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. In the case of the 12-year congressmen, they are entitled to double-dip.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer be allowed to vote itself a pay raise. During inflationary years (they create inflation) congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI increase or +2% deviation.

 6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts (including pensions) with past and present Congressmen are null and void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make these contracts with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves therefore they are against the spirit of the Constitution.
9. On the positive side, the congress will have much more time off and time to visit with their constituents because, while true “emergency” sessions can be called, the congress will meet for only 90 days each year and be a part-time entity much like the original design of a part-time legislature by the Founding Fathers.

Ya'll live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut

**Actually Rajjpuut would prefer that a constitutional amendment be passed, if necessary by petitions within the American people, if the congress hasn’t the integrity to do it by itself (and require ratification by the American people).

Political censorship running Rampant Right Now in good ole July

Obamanation of Desolation

Right now he is desolating our Constitution, our country, and all political opposition.

Resistanceis F.U.T.I.L.E

Political and Obamanation Censorship is running rampant at this very moment in time. First of all after theSenate approved the Cyber Security bill that will give Obama the powerto shut down any parts of the Internet at his will, Facebooktook down the Real Alex Jones profile only because he had theDon't tread on me flag (Gadsden flag), FederalJackhas been hacked again so that people can't add any kind of trutharticles, The ObamaDeception and other vital truth (Anti-Establishment) documentarieshave been taken down aka censored by hackers right after it was the topkeyword on Google/Yahoo Trends, and all 73,671blogs hosted at Blogetery were instantly shut down including oneof my multiple USWGO Syndication centers with no Mysql backup sent tothe innocent bloggers including myself just simply because theauthorities demanded the entire server was shut down instead of goingafter the elite of illegal blogs.

This is a total of 4 censorship and Whitewash attacks all at one time and all four isdetrimental to our Constitution, War on Blogs, End of The ObamaDeceptions massive popularity and supreme search rank, Hack hassabotaged FederalJack's truth syndication center, and Facebook will nolonger tolerate Don't tread on me flag supporters.

This means that this had nothing to do with the War on Piracy but this is a Waron Blogs and Piracy was the perfect excuse to shut down tens ofthousands of Independent and even domain name blogs. This definitelyproves this has nothing to do with Piracy because if it did the Innocentones would have never been targeted and the guilty ones would have togo through Due Process.

Anytime Police shut down websites without a court trial this not only violates Due process but also theFirst Amendment of the Constitution which protects Freedom ofExpression AND the Freedom of the Press (Freedom of Speech). So inother words these Police induced server shut downs without Due processare violating two to three amendments of the U.S. Constitution plusdestroys the very thing our American Republic stands for.

So right now the Government has started flexing their muscles against thetruthers right after they shut down 9piracy (Unlicensed Movie Streaming) sites as a warning to truthersthat after he gets rid of all viral filesharing networks he will comeafter the truthers and punish them the same way as movie pirates usingthe Hate Crimes law. It's the same tactic as the CIA using paidpedophiles to seek out and molest kids in order to create an excuse topersuade the public to approve of more strict rules to control theInternet.

This is the future of Military Police Action against bloggers:

This won't end good after these four well thought of attacks it will definitely stifle theFreedom, Liberty, and Truth Movements and that is exactly why I amgoing to backup my site a lot more to prevent being one of thosevictims and store backup DVDs of my websites in undisclosed locations Iwon't tell even if I am detained. They can threaten me, they can talkdirty, they can even call me racial terms but I won't crack, I won'tlet the Government desolate the truth because it's our ConstitutionalRight, it's our God forsaken Right. Obama can kiss my donkey and eventhen I won't give in to that jackdonkey.

I will keep monitoring the Internet for more Pentagon and Air Force Cyber Command basedattacks and report on them as I see them. If this thing gets real ugly Imay dispatch truth DVDs with archives of all of my articles on thefile sharing networks before they are all shut down. Also I may ask mytown mayor if I can host a truth speech and give out DVDs to all of thetowns people.

Rajjpuut's Folly: Approval Plummets to Record Low, Public Fed Up with Obama Agenda

Posted by Bob VanDeHey on May 25, 2010 at 10:51am
Note: this is an update to a blog written 36 hours earlier with the latest Obama approval #s added in:

Rasmussen Polls Highlight Big Opposition
to Obama Agenda on Several Fronts
If socialism and big government are the desired ends, Americans are not buying it according to the Rasmussen Reports polling service.
Item: The public appreciation of this president has plummeted recently. His latest approval sank to its lowest level (-20) today, Tuesday May 25, 2010, when the highly accurate Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows President Obama’s favorability rating stands at -20 with only 24% of voters highly approving of the job he’s doing and 44% highly disapproving. Overall 42% at least somewhat approve of the President’s work while 56% disapprove. The negative fourteen (-14) point overall differential and the 42% overall approval numbers are both record lows for Obama on Rasmussen's daily tracking.
Item: 68% of Americans are against boycotts of Arizona over their new Immigration law. While Obama and the federal government are permitted 17 specific powers, 55% of voters would like a law like Arizona’s in their own state because they don’t believe the federal government is protecting our borders.
Item: when it comes to terrorism, 52% of voters say we are NOT safer today than we were on September 10, 2001 just before the 9/11 attacks.
As the rest of the poll data shows, it seems that in the voters’ eyes Mr. Obama is NOT doing what the federal government is supposed to do and doing everything else instead. It also appears that Americans do NOT want to be ruled from the left . . . or the right or the center, but want to rule themselves:
Item: 72% do not believe Congress knows what it’s doing when it comes to the economy. Along those lines, 41% expressed agreement with the statement that "a group of people randomly selected from the phone book would do a better job than Congress."
Item: It appears Nancy Pelosi was wrong when she said, “We’ll just have to pass it so people can see what’s in it (and you’ll love it)” in reference to the Obamacare health measures. 63% of American voters now favor repealing the bill. As a move toward socialism, roughly 390 separate government agencies are created by Obamacare – just one law. In contrast only 40 separate federal agencies were created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in just over twelve years in office. Obama has been in office fifteen months.
Item: 65% of all Americans and a surprising 51% of Democrats now espouse “mainstream”^^ views up from 62% in March and 55% in September. Only 4% now support the “political class” (those numbers are staying steady at the lowest such reading in Rasmussen polling history). When “leaners” are included 81% align with the mainstream and 12% trend toward the political class.
Item: 67% of mainstream America consider Obamacare “bad for America” while 77% of the political class believe Obamacare is “good for America.”
Item: 76% of Americans say they trust the voters more than they do the politicians and 71% see the federal government as a”special interest group” looking out mainly for its own welfare. 70% believe that the government and big business generally work together for their own benefit against the interests of the people.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
^^The three questions used to calculate the Political Class Index are:
-- Generally speaking, when it comes to important national issues, whose judgment do you trust more - the American people or America’s political leaders?
-- Some people believe that the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. Has the federal government become a special interest group?
-- Do government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors?
To create the "Mainstream-Political Class scale, each response earns a plus 1 for the mainstream answer, a minus 1 for the political class answer, and a 0 for not sure.
Those who score 2 or higher are considered part of the Mainstream. Those who score -2 or lower are considered to be aligned with the Political Class. Those who score +1 or -1 are considered leaners in one direction or the other.
In practical terms, if someone is classified with the Mainstream, they agree with the mainstream view on at least two of the three questions and don’t agree with the Political Class on any.

I was just interrogated at the post office for cashing in on a Money Order

InterrogatedByPostalStaff

Update: When the questions the Postal Interrogator asked were answered, the answers were that I run a non profit website and haveadvertisements on it, I never really known the full name of the personthat sent me the money order and just that Igot it from somebody whoworked at The Global Information Network (GIN). I had to tell thepostal worker....aka interrogator that the money order was from mebeing he asked me more personal level and intrusive questions.

After hearing about this interrogation it gives a whole new definition to the song "I Always feel like somebodies watching me"where it says at one point "I feel like the mail mans watching me!".

Today I was just interrogated like I was some sort of terrorist or money launderer at the Post Office by a Postal Employee over a $75money order sent to me for my non profit political site USWGO. Itwasn't even a thousand, not even a hundred dollars but simply just $75and I was interrogated like a criminal over that little amount of moneywhile you can cash a $100 check at a bank and all they ever requiredwas proof of identification and that was technically it.

The intrusive personal questions he asked me right after he required ID was "Who sent you the money order?" and "What was it sent for?". Healso stared at me and gave me the suspicion eye that police wouldusually give to suspected terrorists and criminals. Once he startedasking several amount of questions I started feeling weird like I amsome sort of criminal there.

Also at first when I showed up he denied that money orders are allowed at the Post Office. Then he allowed it through and startedasking more intrusive questions such as "who's it for?" when he shouldknow who's cashing in the money order in the first place.

I suspect it may have something to do with news I found after researching on Google about being interrogated by the Postal Servicethat 2 men robbed money orders at the post office.

If I am going to be treated like a criminal just for cashing in a money order I rather take checks to help support my non profitpolitical cause.

I was scared he was going to ask what my website address was but if he did I am afraid to tell him because he may end up sending me to theback of the room to be held in a detention cell awaiting police to sendme to jail over my political website getting a little amount of moneyto pay for equipment replacements, and to help pay for my website.
