3. it's less to do with 'cheap', than our vote actually being counted as cast
i cant believe the democrats haven't been in the streets rioting over the stolen votes.. and the system used to steal the votes,..

I'm changing to independent party if it doesn't become a big issue..

not that it would do any good, but i cant support the party of they dont stand up to the fascists.

i presently make contributions to the party, but i am now holding out till they get guts and make a stand on vote stealing and the rip off machines

5. For who?
When did women get the right to vote? When were black people actually considered to be human beings? When did workers get their rights? When were children not in factories everyday? When did people have time to protest for the end to this war and that?

7. The Constitution was written, passed, and ratified BEFORE such
a thing as "energy" as we know it was discovered. "Cheap energy" came along even later than energy as we know it.

The Constitution worked bofore and during "cheap energy." If it is not working now, it is not because of the lack of "cheap energy" or terrorism.

It is because

1. education has been undermined in this country for at least forty years,

2. our news media has been overtaken by the neocon fascist fanatics,

3. Even those who can see what is happening are at a loss as to how to rid our government of those who totally ignore the Constitution in favor of their agenda especially when there are so many who don't see and so many important areas of the government are under the control of those who hate the US Constitution and what it stands for.

8. Would the Constitution..
Are you high? What does energy have to do with it!

This document and its amendments are the blueprint of a system of
laws and protections never before granted in such large measure
to the people of ANY country.

The question is simply how to apply it to a regime of lawbreakers
and scum who have chosen to subvert it and ignore it when it suits
their corrupt and evil agenda.



Screw censure, how about hanging!
