senate (42)

Keep In Mind that Most of Democrats in Senate and Congress are Not True Democrats, They Are Marxists-Leninists-Communists Working Very Hard to Destroy United States by Taking Side with Illegal Invasion of USA, Anti-American Hate and Terrorists. There Will Be No Peace In This Country Until These Traitors are Arrested For Treason and an Accessory to Crimes. Looks Like That Democratic Voters Have No Brain and Heart Capacity to Vote for Decent People in Their Godless Democratic Party.

You can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you can’t keep no chains on me

—Kid Rock (Robert Ritchie) “Born Free

“I concede she [Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)] is better at playing politics than I am so I’ll keep doing what I do best, which is being a voice for tax paying hardworking AMERICANS and letting politicians like her know that We the People are sick and tired of their bullshit!”—Kid Rock quoted by Phillip Stucky “Kid Rock Leads Democrat In New Poll

A brash, rough talking, sometimes crude political outsider with a large media following, taking on the political establishment’s elite. Where have I seen this before?

I’m talking about Kid Rock, not Donald Trump.  Robert Ritchie, better known as Kid Rock, has announced that he is running for the US Senate—and I for one believe he is quite earnest about it, and furthermore may very well get elected.

A friend of mine in Michigan, with his finger on the pulse of Michigan’s grassroots, tells me that there are a lot of people very excited about Ritchie running.  He is quite popular in his home state.

Saul Anuzis, former chairman of the Michigan GOP says, “He’s well-liked in Michigan. He’s a hometown darling.  He’s got deep connections to Detroit.  He’s done a lot throughout the state.  Anybody who’s writing him off is making a mistake.”

Ritchie was born (1971) and raised in an upper middle-class environment in the small town of Romeo, Macomb County, Michigan, about thirty miles from Detroit.  Behind his rock star persona is a thoughtful intelligence that can take people meeting him for the first time by surprise—“observers have expressed surprise, even bewilderment, at discovering an intelligent, articulate, charismatic and even introspective person in real life.”  I would say that Ritchie’s “wild bad boy” persona is not a facade, so much as it is one facet of a multi-faceted personality.

Through it all, he came across as utterly authentic even as he was constantly redefining himself.  He hasn’t so much reinvented himself as proven to be totally malleable while maintaining a sense of authenticity.—Tim Alberta, Zack Stanton (Sarah Gamard) “Senator Kid Rock. Don’t Laugh.

Kid Rock’s fame will no doubt give Ritchie a big boost, but Ritchie’s biggest liability will also be, “Kid Rock.”  You can be sure that the Democrats will make hay with his—how shall I put this—less than politically correct statements of the past (and present for that matter).

But We the People are more than fed up with polished, silver-tongued political weasels promising us the stars and stabbing us in the back.  We know that the globalist elites, both Democrat and Republican, look down on America’s working men and women and view us with disdain.  We know that arrogant snobbery is the coin of the realm in DC and that they consider us stupid, deplorable, bitter gunslingers.

Michigan, once part of the Democrats vaunted “Blue Wall” is suddenly a battleground where Democrats and Republicans are now fighting for blue collar voters. This became a central theme during the 2016 election season, where Donald Trump won over the white working class vote.—Delphi Analytica “Kid Rock ahead in hypothetical matchup with Debbie Stabenow, Large number of voters are undecided

Because they prefer to wear “Russia Did It” blinders Democrats have failed to see the screamingly obvious truth that people do not like being lied to, robbed, ignored, and treated with contempt.  Imagine that.

Trump saw that truth, related to it, and spoke our language, spoke to our concerns—and gave the finger to political correctness.  We the People loved him for that and admired his toughness and authenticity.  It was obvious to us that he meant what he said and said what he meant and was no smooth-talking snake oil salesman.  And we elected him president because of it.

We need some sharp elbows and rough edges in DC.  This o so refined “hail fellow well met” collegial bulls—t has led us nowhere but deeper into the swamp.  Time for a wake-up call, and Robert Ritchie may be just the sort of street-wise change agent needed to rattle the smug DC establishment and give it a long overdue motivational kick in the butt.

Gear up!  Kid Rock in 2018.

This time around, Washington, DC HealthCare legislation is for the Republican Party to repeal and replace ObamaCare as promised in previous elections.  Enact a new family based HealthCare policy.

President Trump should insist GOP leaders to especially allow Capitol Hill Conservative Republicans, to have political input on a new HealthCare plan.  This HealthCare presentation is the equivalent of a national ‘Republican Primary’ election.

A national TV ‘PRIMETIME’ debate with Sen. Ted Cruz’s HealthCare plan v. the Senate and House versions of our Moderate Capito Hill GOP leaders should be debated.  Americans and specifically Conservative Republicans deserve to be allowed to see these plans.

Moderate Capitol Hill Republican Party leaders should not refuse Sen. Ted Cruz’s ‘Repeal and Replace’ of ObamaCare?  Why should or would a few leaders’ members of the Capitol Hill GOP disallow Conservative GOP leaders to participate in legislation of ‘Repeal and Replace’ of ObamaCare as promised to ‘We the People’?

President Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan should offer a national TV ‘debate’ in ‘PRIMETIME’.  Allow Americans, and especially Conservative Republicans, to have input.  This new legislation may represent a ‘shining star’ for the GOP for generations to come.

A few Capitol Hill GOP Moderate leaders should not be making all decisions, behind closed doors, as to who may participate, and what will be allowed to vote on the floor of the Senate and House.

““Currently, for a variety of reasons, we are not ready to vote for this bill, but we are open to negotiation and obtaining more information before it is brought to the floor," Cruz said in a joint statement with U.S. Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.” 

Why does the Moderate Capitol Hill Republican Party leaders refuse to either offer Sen. Ted Cruz’s ‘Repeal and Replace’ of ObamaCare?

Americans deserve better.  President Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan should offer for a TV ‘debate’ in ‘PRIMETIME’.  Allow Americans to have input.  A few GOP Moderate leaders, behind closed doors, should not be making the decision as to what will be allowed on to vote in the Senate and/or in the House.

You may remember it was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who allowed the so-called Ominous Budget 2015 to be voted on, and whereas Sen. Mitch McConnell cut a ‘hidden’ financial deal with President Obama and Democrat Senate Majority Leader, Harry M. Reid for Kentucky to get millions of dollars for himself; over the entire American budgetary system.

Many educators in ‘public’ schools, colleges, and/or our universities are failing to teach our children the basic principles in our Constitutional freedoms based on Judeo-Christian values as inscribed by our Founding Fathers.

4064366630?profile=original

Senators must become more aware of each Presidential SCOTUS nominee; their personal and political ideals.  Does the SCOTUS nominee(s) know, believe, support, and practice Judeo-Christian values?  Will SCOTUS nominee(s) support restoring our Constitution freedoms involving changes as intended by our Founding Fathers?

Each sitting Senator must require Presidential SCOTUS nominees as to whether they will they support Constitutional Judeo-Christian values.

The SCOTUS decision, Engel v. Vitale (No. 468) as decided on June 25, 1962 struck down New York State law requiring a daily Bible reading thereof in ‘public’ schools https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/370/421.

Our ‘public’ schools’ children are now taught their own atrocious value-rated beliefs by instructors; rather than teaching freedoms as expressed by our Founding Fathers.  The 1963 ‘SCOTUS School District of Abington Township, Pennsylvania v. Schempp’ removed the Bible from our ‘public’ schools https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/374/203.

The USA needs a few minor constitutional surgical procedures on this document; not a new Article.

God, America, and our Judeo-Christian communities deserve better http://education.findlaw.com/student-rights/school-prayer-and-the-pledge-of-allegiance-background.html.

On a daily basis, ‘Main-stream’ Medias are reporting as Democrat Party legislators and/or our Judges in the Federal Courts are declaring more unconstitutional activity of President Trump and Capitol Hill Republicans depriving Democrats of their Constitutional ‘rights’.

4064291346?profile=original

Almost all of these falsified charges are from Capitol Hill Democrats, the NAACP, the Federal Judiciary, and their partners, ‘Main-stream’ Medias.  These groups are practicing an old story of; “If you tell 

a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”  How sad for Democrat Party officials to operate!

The major problem is that a majority of the ‘Main-stream’ Medias have joined forces with now former President Obama and his left-wing anti-Constitutional misrepresentations, the Capitol Hill Democrat Party that has lost its Constitutional freedoms based on Judeo-Christian values, and has joined with the NAACP leadership, surprisingly that has shifted from being a Biblical group to an anti-Biblical assemblage as they follow the Democrat Party for what they ensue.

‘Main-stream’ Medias have lost the confidence of the American people.  The political polls will substantiate these facts.  ‘Main-stream’ Medias are having a hard time ingesting these facts.  The average Americans who watch or listen to the news have determined that most of the ‘Main-stream’ Medias are a distorted version of the truth.

Before the Obama administration came to power in January 2009, there was little to no activity on racial discrimination.  Most Americans got over racial discrimination; up to some 50 years ago.   Obama has wickedly, poured on the fuel to reopen the flames.  Obama’s administrations words and actions have fueled the flames of more protests, rioting, vandalism, looting, and burning private and public properties in their own communities. Additionally, The Obama administration increased our National Debt, without a national disaster or a major war, by $9.7 dollars; almost as much as all previous presidents put together. https://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/debt/search?startMonth=01&startDay=20&startYear=2009&endMonth=01&endDay=20&endYear=2017

There has been many left-wing Judges nominated and confirmed by the US Senate; many of whom were confirmed without proper study on previous history.

Today, Capitol Hill Democrats are doing anything to stop a Conservative movement led by President Donald Trump and in his Cabinet appointees and a SCOTUS confirmation.  Democrat Senators are voting almost unanimously ‘NO’ on each of President Trump’s nominees needed for Senate confirmation.

The November 2016 General Election proves that the distorted version of the ‘Main-stream’ Medias was rejected on many issues by the American electorate.  When will the ‘Main-stream’ Medias accept these facts?  When will the ‘Main-stream’ Medias eliminate all of their news reporters who chronicle fictitious reports?

Freedom of the Press in the First Amendment was inscribed in our Constitution to report the truth to the people as to what was legally or illegally happening in government and elsewhere.  ‘Main-stream’ Medias have no business reporting falsified stories as news facts, anywhere.

Democrats get on board in supporting America and our Constitutional freedoms based on Judeo-Christian values.

God Bless America!

New Candidate for WV's U.S. Senate Seat - 2018

NotificationLetter.pdf     

http://www.scotternstwv.com/

My sense of duty has surpassed my desire to live a simple, quiet life. It is time I must begin to fight an uphill battle. I understand that only pitfalls and hurdles lie before me, and I have little support yet behind me… I accept this challenge.

As of 26 Jan 17, I am officially registered as a pre-candidate for West Virginia’s 2018 U.S. Senate seat.  I am the antithesis of a career politician... I am a husband, a father, a combat veteran, and a patriot.  I am a Constitution Conservative that believes the overreach of our federal government threatens out liberties. 

I respectfully ask, if you are so inclined, to share this message and visit my website. In addition, I have attached a letter that more fully explains my background and thoughts.  If you wish to support me for the battle ahead, I would be appreciative of any amount. 

For future newsletters, please sign up on the “contact” page. 

Thank you!

Look at the official record.  There are many votes where Rubio may say one thing, yet his official voting record may be the opposite. 

This 1st vote shown was before Ted Cruz became a member of the Senate.  October 6, 2011, Vote 157:  Sen. Rubio voted with Sen. Harry Reid’s S. 1619  “Decision of the Chair (Shall the Decision of the Chair Stand as the Judgment of the Senate).  This was Sen. Reid’s decision on a ‘Nuclear Vote’ rather than requiring a 60 vote to proceed with any action. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=1&vote=00157  

The following represents opposite votes between Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio on critical issues.  

January 29, 2013, Vote Number 5: Sen. Rubio voted ‘YEA’ PN42 On the Nomination (Confirmation John Forbes Kerry, of Massachusetts, to be Secretary of State)

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00005  

June 11, 2013, Vote Number 147:  Sen Rubio voted YEA for more ‘illegal’ immigration; S. 744 “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act), A bill to provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes.” http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00147

 June 18, 2013, Vote Number 151: Rubio voted NAY “To require the completion of the 350 miles of reinforced, double-layered fencing described in section 102(b)(1)(A) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted and to require the completion of 700 miles of such fencing before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be adjusted to permanent resident status.”

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00151  

June 27, 2013, Vote Number 168: Rubio voted YEA with Sen. Schumer “S.Amdt. 1197 to S. 744 (Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act )

A bill to provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes.” http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00168  

ON the entire Senate voting record, you ‘will not’ find one vote where Sen. Ted Cruz voted for ‘illegal’ immigration or ‘Amnesty’.

Almost all Democrat Party Senators vote ‘NAY’ as they ‘REJECT’ Biblical teachings. 

A very few Republican Party Senators vote ‘NAY’ as they ‘REJECT’ Biblical teachings. 

Registered citizen-voters across the USA elected President Obama in 2008 and re-elected him in 2012. 

Registered voters in each of the 50 states elect and/or re-elect the 100 US Senators.  It is part of the US Senators to confirm or reject each Judicial nominee as presented to fulfil the SCOTUS Justice seats as the 9 Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). 

“I never imagined a day like this would come, where I would be asked to violate a central teaching of Scripture and of Jesus Himself regarding marriage. To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God's definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate would violate my conscience. It is not a light issue for me. It is a Heaven or Hell decision.” http://www.lc.org/index.cfm?PID=14102&AlertID=1965  

Below, see how your US Senators voted for the two President Obama nominees to SCOTUS.

Elena Kagan to SCOTUS:  All voting Democrat Party Senators except Nelson (D-NE) voted ‘YEA’ for Elena Kagan.   

All voting Republican Party Senators except; Collins (R-ME), Graham (R-SC), Gregg (R-NH), Lugar (R-IN), and Snowe ((R-ME) voted ‘NAY’ and against Elena Kagan to SCOTUS.  http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00229

President Obama, Sec. of State, John Kerry, and their USA negotiating team may be allowing the most terrorist nation in the entire world, the State of Iran, to develop with the ability to use 'NUCLEAR’ bombs against any of their other enemy nations.

 

Each American ‘MUST’ understand what President Obama, Sec. of State, John Kerry, and every Senator on Capitol Hill who votes ‘AYE’ in approving the USA – Iran Nuclear bomb agreement.

 

President Obama, Secretary John Kerry, and Iranian officials within the State of Iran are attempting to deny, even our American leaders, from knowing some of the incidentals, ‘maybe deadly’ to the State of Israel, other American allies, and/or the USA itself, within this Agreement.

The constitution gives the states the power to reign in an out of control federal government; so why isn't it being done?

Ten states now have taken the first step toward limiting the power of the federal government. Officials from Arizona, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Carolina, Virginia and Wyoming have filed resolutions calling for a convention of states that would propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution with the express purpose of limiting the power and jurisdiction of the federal government. Governor Bobby Jindal has thrown in his support for an “Article V. Convention of States. http://www.conventionofstates.com/governor_bobby_jindal_endorses_the_convention_of_states_project

Article V. of our Constitution gives the states the power to call such a convention for the purpose of amendments by the states, and the constitution stays in place during the process.

“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress.”

Mark Meckler, president of Citizens for Self-Governance, co-founded CSG’s Convention of States Project, which is currently working to convince the necessary 34 state legislatures to pass bills calling for a convention of states.

Meckler said that, in addition to the 10 states that have already filed, he expects another 15 to 20 states to file resolutions for a convention in the next few weeks “We will have legislation introduced in enough states to get to 34,” Meckler said.

The need for the states to limit federal power did not suddenly arise overnight. A convention of states should have been held years ago. However people are only now beginning to understand the power that Article V. gives the states.
If the states can agree to have a convention, they should be able to agree on some amendments as well. Two things I would personally like the convention to do – impose term limits on all federal offices of all three branches, and give states the power to repeal federal laws by a majority of states; the number of states required to be established by the amendment, and last but not least reaffirm the requirement for an intrinsic backed currency system.

The FEC has ruled in favor of those who support and are working for an Article V. Convention of States to be called by the states.

Today we learned the FEC sided with our arguments. This is a huge victory for the Convention of States movement, and we’re thankful for the brilliant legal minds that helped make it happen.

An Article V. Convention of States is the remedy for the situation we find our country in today. Remember it is not a Federal con-con, it is called by the states for the purpose of amending the constitution to reign in an out of control Federal Government, and the feds have no part in it, it is wholly a states affair.

The Stupidity of the Impeach Now Movement

Why I have maintained that attempting to impeach the man in the White House is down right stupid is really simple; however, the explanation takes a little time as it involves education. Try to remember that a failure to convict on the articles of impeachment will render it impossible to do so at a later date., for any reason.

Impeachment is not a finding, it is an indictment. After the indictment comes the trail. Impeaching BOH would be easy. The house presents a Articles of Impeachemnt, the votes are counted and he is impeached. Then comes the problem. The trial. That is conducted in the Senate only and the judge is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as mandated in our constitution. Even Dirty Harry cannot refuse to hold that trial and the president can't use an executive order to make it go away. He must be tried if the house impeaches, BUT, and it is a big but, as things stand now the senate would never vote to convict. So we wait. Thank goodness some of the politicians are being smart. Not too many I agree, but there are some.

If we can take control of the senate with just a few votes over a simple majority there MIGHT be a chance. Here is the full process and some comments on that process:
In the Senate
The Articles of Impeachment are received from the House.
The Senate formulates rules and procedures for holding a trial.
A trial will be held. The President will be represented by his lawyers. A select group of House members will serve as "prosecutors." The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (currently John G. Roberts) will preside with all 100 Senators acting as the jury.
The Senate will meet in private session to debate a verdict.
The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the Senate will result in a conviction. (note: 67 senators have to vote for conviction)
The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.
The Senate may also vote (by a simple majority) to prohibit the President from holding any public office in the future.
Impeachable Offenses
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." In his report, Independent Counsel, Starr accuses President Clinton of committing eleven acts for which he could be removed from office by impeachment. Are any of those acts "Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors?" Well, that's up to the members of the House of Representatives. According to constitutional lawyers, "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" are (1) real criminality -- breaking a law; (2) abuses of power; (3) "violation of public trust" as defined by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers. In 1970, then Representative Gerald R. Ford defined impeachable offenses as "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history." An excellent definition, Mr. Former President. In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:
Exceeding the constitutional bounds of the powers of the office.
Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.
Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.
There are obvious land mines in this process. One of those is when the senate retires to consider it's verdict. The prosecuting attorneys are excluded because they are not senators. How about the defense attorneys? Any defense attorney, selected by the president remember, that is a member of the senate is going to be part of that closed session. Just one reason it has never resulted in conviction. Then there is the seeming fact that one of the things a person serving a full term in the senate seems to misplace is his, or her, conscience. It just seems to get lost, somehow.

So what do we need to impeach and convict this usurper? It appears that we need about 56 conservatives to be elected to the senate. I don't see that happening, do you? However let is be positive. The next session of congress is convened and Dirty Harry is relegated to senate minority leader. The conservatives and the swell of grass roots conservatism convinces a few more liberals that their interest in power is best served by getting BOH out of the White House. Just might happen. Sure can't happen as things stand now.

North Carolina’s ‘choice’ candidate for US Senate in 2014 is Mark Harris.  Mark Harris represents a transfer of Ronald Reagan’s character with principles on the fiscal, social, and National Security issues.

 

President Ronald Reagan was a trusted leader.  A ‘true leader’ must believe, live, teach, practice, and represent the character with principles as Ronald Reagan did with words:

 

  1. Job creation:  “And because we've opened up the economy, lowered tax rates, and restored the ideal of limited government and free enterprise -- for all these reasons, America today stands poised for even greater economic growth in the year ahead. But even as we celebrate all that we have accomplished, we must acknowledge that hanging over the future are some enormous ifs.”

     

  2. Lower Taxes:  “If we keep tax rates down, economic incentives will remain strong.”   “Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”

 

  1. A Balanced Budget: “We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much” “If we keep tax rates down, economic incentives will remain strong.”

 

  1. Second Amendment:  “As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it. The only person who’s going to be penalized and have difficulty is the law-abiding citizen, who then cannot have [it] if he wants protection -- the protection of a weapon in his home.”

     

  2. A Military that is second to none:  “How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”  One another occasion, “Trust, but verify.”

     

  3. Constitutional freedoms: "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth."

     

  4. Limited Government:  "I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts."

 

  1. Pro-life.  “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”

     

  2.  Welfare:  "Welfare's purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence."

     

  3.   Faith:  “We believe faith and freedom must be our guiding stars, for they show us truth, they make us brave, give us hope, and leave us wiser than we were.”

 

Mark Harris does equate to these Ronald Reagan values.  As we appraise and discover more about Mark Harris, his life,  his character, leadership, wisdoms,  and his positive beliefs on the fiscal, social, and National Security issues, most North Carolinians may concur that Mark Harris for US Senate is North Carolina’s choice as another Ronald Reagan duplicate leader of tomorrow.

http://www.gop.com/act/presidential-straw-poll

 

By Oscar Y. Harward

 

The Republican National Committee (RNC) sends out a ‘bait-and-switch’ poll asking for money.  This ‘deceitful’ poll includes several ‘very qualified and potential’ Conservative TEA Party Republican candidates for US President.

 

Why would the RNC spend any effort to ask or beg for money from Conservative TEA Party Republican supporters? 

 

I believe RNC Chairman, Reince Preibus; Republican Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell; Republican speaker of the House, John Boehner; and US Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Thomas J. Donohue and others have agreed they will spend Republican National Committee (RNC) money to defeat Conservative TEA Party Republican candidates in GOP primaries.

 

Are these RINO Republicans now trying to ask, beg, and/or rob resources from conservatives, only to give this money and more to other RINO Republicans who will not even ‘enforce’ or ‘support’ the Republican Party Platform?

 

Whenever these GOP officials join in with Chamber of Commerce President Thomas J. Donohue, that they will spend GOP resources to defeat Conservative TEA Party Republican candidates in GOP primaries, this must be defined as a ‘bait-and-switch’ poll; or maybe even further, in support of ignoring the ‘social’ issues while allowing more ‘deficit spending’ for President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats; more debt left for our children, their children, etc.

Senate Democrats violate ‘WE, THE PEOPLE’

 

By Oscar Y. Harward

 

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senate Democrats did not follow ‘Rule 22’ requiring a 3/5 vote to make Senate changes in approving President Obama’s Judicial nominees.  President Obama is appointing Judicial nominees with more ‘left-wing’ political views that may be inserted within their rulings’ as he/she rules.  Senate Democrats are approving these Obama nominees; loading up our Federal Courts across America with President Obama’s Judicial nominees whom likely will ‘order’ for more anti-Constitution and more anti-American assessments as more well-defined by our Founding Fathers.

 

Furthermore, Sen. Reid and Senate Democrats change of ‘Rule 22’ has already been expanded to include other legislation(s).  Our Founding Fathers anticipated, proposed, and included a ‘filibuster’ measure, with their signatures, as a protection to guard ‘WE, THE PEOPLE’ from change(s) made by a ‘radical’ government.

 

Under Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) and the Senate majority Democrat Party’s change to stop all ‘filibusters’, Sen. Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats ‘crammed more Liberalism and anti-Constitutional’ positions down (y)our throats without any right to object’; even for 49 of the 100 US Senators. 

 

Sen. Reid and Senate Democrats Constitutional changes would have required a 3/5 vote of approval for ‘Rule 22’ Senate changes.

It appears the ACA is unconstitutional

28 October 2013

 

The Honorable Congressman Smith

The Honorable Senator Cornyn

The Honorable Senator Cruz

 

Good morning Gentlemen!

 

On this bright Monday morning I have a question I would ask you ask yourselves...... once you have the answer, what comes next appears to be obvious and unavoidable... the only way to fix this is remove it.

 

The "version" of the Affordable Care Act (ACA, obamacare) that became Law originated in the Senate.

 

Chief Justice Roberts clearly stated the ACA was "constitutional" as a TAX (not healthcare).

 

The Constitution of the United States clearly tells us that the House holds the purse strings, controls funding - and is able to tax.... The SENATE is incapable of creating a TAX according to law.

 

The question to ask yourselves is this: Since the Senate version of the ACA is what became Law - Chief Justice Roberts said the ACA is a TAX - and only the House can create a tax....

Why does the ACA continue to exist - as it is an unconstitutional mandate from a government body unauthorized to do what was done. Yet signed by all......................

 

Respectfully,

SFC (USA Retired) Aubrey Mason

San Antonio, Texas

Home of the Brave, not so much in the Senate

While we do have war hero's and I thank them for their service, it seems like the brave my have tired. No one will directly challenge Obama, Holder or other officials who ignore the citizens will, laws and Congress. They let agencies like the EPA run over them and citizens without recourse.

Where have the brave gone, aside from our current military people. Obama will be cutting their ranks and continues to make their job harder.

We need rescue from this administration. Obama will speak with Iranian terrorist and not the GOP, really?
