OBAMA CONFESSES ELECTORAL FRAUD TO COLLEGE STUDENTS
OK, I heard him say that he was born in Kenya. Why then was this man elected President? It is funny that after elected he says that he was born in Hawaii and no one will either release or find birth records.
That makes him a liar either way people. This man needs to be voted out if not impeached. Will it ever happen? I don't know.

Are we that retarded?
I am all for adding a new dollar design, but this is ridiculous. Our "friends" at the Huffington Post posted this article about trying to "revamp" American Currency.
I can think of a who lot more pictures that I would put on a dollar bill that the man that is spending this country into oblivion. Get a grip people. A wise man once said, "you can't fix stupid".

Here's a quick Q & A for you on some Constitutional Issues... Have Fun!
1.Has the Constitution always guided our country?
No. Originally the nation functioned under the Continental Congress and the Articles of Confederation. Eleven years after the Declaration of Independence the Constitution was written, agreed to and sent to the states for ratification. When ratified by nine states (as the document itself prescribed), the Constitution was declared to be the new governmental system. That occurred on Sept. 13, 1788. The new government was ordered to be convened on March 4, 1789.
2.What are the three branches of government named in the Constitution?
Legislative, Executive and Judicial.
3.Does the Constitution allow the Supreme Court to make law?
No. The very first sentence in the Constitution states: "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States….” Any Supreme Court decision is the law of the case that binds only the plaintiff and the defendant. The meaning of the word “all” has not been changed.
4.Does the Constitution empower the President to make law?
No. Executive Orders issued by the President that bind the entire nation are illicit because, as noted above, “All legislative powers” are possessed by Congress. An Executive Order that binds only the employees of the Federal government (such as granting a holiday) is proper because the President should be considered to be the holder of power much like that possessed by the CEO of a company. But the entire nation is not in the employ of the President.
The President does have a role in lawmaking with his possession of a veto. He can veto a measure approved by Congress (which can be overturned by a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress), or simply allow it to become law by doing nothing within 10 days, “Sundays excepted.”
5.Does the Constitution give the Federal government any power in the field of education?
No. The Constitution contains no mention of any power “herein granted” in the field of education.
6.Where in the Constitution is there authorization to dispense foreign aid?
No such authorization appears in the Constitution
7.Did the Constitution give the Federal government power to create a bank?
No. Congress was granted power to “coin money,” meaning it was to have the right to create a mint where precious metal could be stamped into coinage of fixed size, weight and purity. There is no Constitutional authority for the Federal government to have created the Federal Reserve.
8.Can the provisions of a treaty supersede the Constitution?
Absolutely not. Thomas Jefferson responded to those who consider treaty-making power to be “boundless” by stating, “If it is, then we have no Constitution.”
9.Does the Constitution allow a President to take the nation into war?
It does not. The sole power to declare the nation at war is possessed by Congress. Congress last used this power at the beginning of World War II, when war was declared on Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor. (Germany declared war on the U.S. the next day.) A congressional vote to authorize the President to enforce United Nations Security Council resolutions should never be considered a substitute for a formal declaration of war.
10.Can you name any of the four crimes mentioned in the Constitution?
The four crimes mentioned are: Treason, bribery, piracy and counterfeiting.
11.Should the Bill of Rights be considered part of the original Constitution?
Many do hold that view because if the promise to add a Bill of Rights had not been made during the ratification process, some states would not have ratified the Constitution.
12.According to the Constitution, how can a President and other national officers be removed from office?
The President and other high officers of the Federal government can be impeached by a majority in the House and tried by the Senate. Impeachment does not constitute removal; it should be considered the equivalent of an indictment that must be followed by a trial. Two-thirds of the Senators “present” must approve removal at the subsequent trial to effect removal.
13.How many amendments have been added to the Constitution?
There are 27. The first 10 (the Bill of Rights) can be considered part of the original Constitution. Amendment 18 was repealed by Amendment 21. This means that, in 223 years, only 15 other amendments have been added. The process was deliberately made difficult to keep anything dangerous or silly from being added to the Constitution in the heat of passion.
14.How is an amendment added to the Constitution?
Congress can propose an amendment when two-thirds of both Houses of Congress vote to do so. Any proposed amendment must then by ratified by the legislature or a convention in three-quarters of the States. Amendments can also be proposed by a Federal Constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the States. Any amendment arising from a Constitutional convention must also be ratified by the legislature or a convention in three-quarters of the states.
15.Does the Constitution say anything about illegal immigration?
Not directly. But Article IV, Section 4 assigns to the Federal government the duty “to protect each of them [the States] from invasion.” It does not specify that the invasion must be military. When 12 million people enter our nation illegally, it is an invasion that should be repelled by the Federal government.
16.Is the term of a President limited by the Constitution?
Yes. In 1951, Amendment 22 was added to the Constitution to limit any President to two terms. The only President who served longer than two terms was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who held office during a fourth four-year term. He died in April 1945 shortly after beginning his 13th year in office.
17.Which part of the Federal government holds “the power of the purse”?
The House of Representatives. Article I, Section 7 states: “All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives….” If a majority in the House (218 of its 435 members) refuses to originate a bill to raise revenue for something, then no funds can be spent on that activity.
18.Does the Constitution provide a method for expelling a member of Congress?
Two-thirds of each House has the authority to expel any of its members for cause even though the member has been elected by voters.
19.How many times is the word “democracy” mentioned in the Constitution?
The word “democracy” does not appear in the Constitution. Our nation is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. The Founders feared Democracy (unrestricted rule by majority) and favored a Republic (rule of law where the law limits the government). James Madison wrote: “…. Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
20.Does the Bill of Rights grant the people free speech, freedom of the press, the right to possess a weapon, etc?
No. The Declaration of Independence, which provides the philosophical base of our nation, states very clearly that our rights are granted to us by our Creator. The various rights noted in the Bill of Rights were not granted by government. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to prevent the Federal government from suspending any of those God-given rights, including the right to possess a weapon. Those who claim “Second Amendment rights,” for instance, make a big mistake with such a statement. If the right is granted by the Second Amendment, meaning by government, it can be taken away by government. If the right is granted by God, only He can take it away.
Taken from the John Birch Society..... How did you do?

Has anyone run across this crap yet?
H.J.Res.5 - Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.
January 6th, 2009
What in the heck. Apparently the 22nd Amendment doesn't mean a hill of beans. Just why what the heck does the 22nd Amendment say? Lets look...
Amendment 22 - Presidential Term Limits
1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
Ratified 02/27/1951
Why would this bill get sent to Congress 12 days before Brother Obama was sworn in. Interesting. This appears mighty hinkey to me. It looks like they planned on Obama running from now on. To bad that neither Osama Obama, the Democratic controlled Congress or the Democratic controlled Senate have been worth a dang for this country. I hope that these coming elections bring servants back into office. It's not called public service for nothing.
So here is my speach. Get out there and find out about your candidates. And vote for the ones that need to be there. Regardless of political affiliation. Vote for people that want to uphold the Constitution not repeal Amendments that are kind of important. The founding fathers knew what they were doing when they wrote this stuff.

Amendment 3 - Quartering of Soldiers.
Amendment 3 - Quartering of Soldiers. Ratified 12/15/1791.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Exactly what it says? Meaning that the man, can't make you keep soldiers at your crib when we are not in a state of war....Unless you allow it. The second part of this I need to research a little. I am curious what the "prescribed by law" portion might entail. I'll let you know.
