THE NEW PLAN SEEKS THE DEMISE OF STATE LAWS THAT ENSURE BOTH A WOMAN'S ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIVES AND HER PROTECTION AGAINST THOSE "DOCTOR'S" THAT REFUSE TO PROVIDE IT.
SO LET'S ALL GET KNOCKED UP AND RETURN TO THE DAYS OF OLD - WHERE A WOMAN'S PLACE WHETHER BE IT IN THE KITCHEN, THE MARKET OR IN LINE FOR A SHOE SALE IS PREGNANT PREGNANT AND MO' PREGNANT.
IDIOTS.

"I cannot believe that you, President Bush, are stating and willing to put into law that birth control is abortion, too. I don't understand you, dear. You send our men and women to harm's way, Iraq, to be killed, and then you have the impudence to affirm that birth control is abortion! Sir, this will not do.
Birth control prevents abortion. I cannot believe that you, a man with two daughters, would circumscribe the pill. Didn't you and your wife use this measure to place a limit on the amount of children you had.
Think of all the poor folk in our country, on the pill, that will not have access to it anymore. How heinous this will look. How many at home abortions there will be. This will cause the loss of young women's lives.
With this asinine law in place you will be inevitably killing off tens of thousands of young women. If you want to retire from your presidency with some sort of glory give this up! That is my demand, sir!"

In 2005, Obama joined Republicans in passing a law dubiously called the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) that would shut down state courts as a venue to hear many class action lawsuits.
an amendment he voted on as part of a recent bankruptcy bill before the US Senate would have capped credit card interest rates at 30 percent. Inexplicably, Obama voted against it,
While in the Illinois Senate, Obama voted to limit the recovery that victims of medical malpractice could obtain through the courts.
In November 2007, Obama came out against a bill that would have reformed the notorious Mining Law of 1872. The current statute, signed into law by Ulysses Grant, allows mining companies to pay a nominal fee, as little as $2.50 an acre, to mine for hardrock minerals like gold, silver, and copper without paying royalties. Yearly profits for mining hardrock on public lands is estimated to be in excess of $1 billion a year according to Earthworks, a group that monitors the industry.
Obama opposed single-payer bill HR676, sponsored by Congressmen Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers in 2006, although at least 75 members of Congress supported it.
The list goes on & on & on.

Obama will withdraw most troops from Iraq and send them to Afghanistan/Pakistan but still leave a small military presence in Iraq and claim he has ended the war in Iraq.
At the same time he will still be stimulating the war machine. Troops will still not come home and they will still be fighting some where else.
Welcome to the smarter 2 party corporate dictatorship of the new american century.

I'm not voting Republican! But OBAMA has a lot of work to do to get my vote back! He's not as hip as comes off. Just go check his myspace page! Nobody from his camp has even logged on in over a year! McCain(self-admission) cant even turn a computer but if Barak thinks he's in touch with people like me he needs to CHANGE and get really real!

i do sincerely hope however, that barak will bust up the joint that is white house politics and just PAINT IT BLACK. but i suppose we can't blame them all for the limitations we ourselves maintain...so sub-question: what can the "man" expect of us these days?
i say we riot. we're going to have to risk it all, like the days of old. i feel you evil twin - "Welcome to the smarter 2 party corporate dictatorship of the new american century."
so we want the most out of our leaders, but what of the people he/she must presume to "represent"? where are all the children of the angry multitude of yesteryear?

You kinda can't blame Sam's Club conservatives when they tell us to go back to our Starbuck's, Apple Computers, and stop whining. It seems like they are right. We have no leadership to oppose leadership, we are equally excessive though we claim not to be. We piss on the world while it is burning and claim we are doing our part to fight the heat.
I am tired of being handed stuff and told where my dedication should be and where the line of common sense is... But the the whole thing is like the story of a dog I once heard...
There was a dog on a porch who was lying there moaning. All day he sat there and little sighs and whimpers would come from the dog. I asked the dogs owner " why does your dog cry like that?" and he said " There is a nail under him and it bothers him." I said "well why doesn't he move?' and the dogs owner said, " I guess it just doesn't hurt enough."

But on another note about voting for Obama, lesser of two evils is still evil.
So who are you going to vote for?
There are other candidates, you know, although you would never suspect it from reading or listening to the mainstream media.
There’s Cynthia McKinney, Congresswoman from Georgia’s 11th District, candidate for President on the Green Party ticket.
There’s Bob Barr, also from Georgia, a former Congressman from the 7th District, the Libertarian Party nominee for President.
There’s Chuck Baldwin, pastor and radio talk show host, nominated by the Constitution Party.
And, of course, there’s Ralph Nader, who chose to run, this year, as an Independent.
If you vote for any one of these, people will say you’re throwing away your vote.
Let them say it. They will be giving their votes to the corporate oligarchy.
Vote your conscience. Vote your hopes, not your fears.
You don’t want to walk out of that voting booth with a grimace on your face, after holding your nose and once again voting for the lesser of two evils.
You want to walk out of there feeling good about yourself, holding your head high knowing that you exercised your first amendment rights—freedom of speech, and of the press and your right to freely assemble.

The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.
basically, you're supposed to be confused. haha
like how fire is both a catalyst for destruction and yet new growth as well. so too is a man amidst "the machine", he is a contradiction of terms - his defiant kinship is what fuels polititcal systems, but also begs of him to ask the question: what is my intention?
every bout with change is a call to find your function more thoroughly. make a choice - you may be commmended, or you may be to blame, but what else is new that's just life.
now a group that makes changes is a collection of hes and shes that had to violate the current once or twice all by their lonesome. so hang on - and the distance between you may one day be filled with commonality.

I want Cindy on the Ballot! I think Pelosi has been completely ineffective! Talks Big and then caves in to Republicans everytime!
It was recently reported by a very reputable magazine that Pelosi voted yes to a secret policy to de-stablize IRAN! Price tag $400 million!
Cindy Sheehan would really shake things up on Capitol Hill! What do You think?

But then what happened??
In the end it's just a ruse to keep people believing in the two-party system illusion and not give away the fact only a small tightly-knit elite control the power in the country. Everyone else who disagrees with them gets economically sanctioned or worse...

Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
Political scientist think the same one vote that some monkeys are inbred
Majority rule, don't work in mental institution
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions
What are we left with?
A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
Who feel it's their duty to populate their homeland
Pass on traditions
How to get ahead religions
And prosperity be a symbol to culture
