US Electoral Process is a Fraud

 

Before discussing the United States Election Process, there are some definitions and realities that must be addressed. The United States of America is a Republic instead of a Democracy although it cannot be denied that the American Republic [with its freedom and democracy] is killing itself softly and surely. It should be remembered by reading the history books that Republics usually have a lifespan of five hundred years.

The word Republic is derived from the Latin Res Publica or public matter. Republic is defined as a government that is lead and decided by the people or a group of people. There are many types of Republics such as a Federal Republic, Communist Republic, and Islamic Republic. The word Democracy which is Greek for Popular Government is another form of saying Popular Sovereignty. In fact, Alexander Hamilton once warned about democracy saying that it was a sure way to end up as a dictatorship.

The United States Election Prccess does not support Democracy nor does it support the concept of the Republic since the Republicans and Democrats repress the Libertarian Party and other alternative groups with their discriminatory electoral laws as well as psychologically torturing the alternative political parties. Before continuing, I will vote for the Libertarian Party and their candidate for President Bob Barr and Vice President Wayne Allyn Root in spite of the repression of the Republicans and Democrats.

The latest proof lies in the travesty of the Democratic National Committee and the way they resolved Michigan and Florida. While it is understood that Michigan and Florida voted earlier, there were plenty of Democrats who voted for their choice in a massive majority in these states. What was the response of the Democratic National Committee and their leaders such as that failure whose last name is Roosevelt? The votes of Michigan and Florida only count as a half vote. Michigan and Florida were punished unfairly by a Democratic National Committee that has converted into a joke in bad taste. In spite of the brilliant speeches by Senator Bill Nelson and Robert Wexler, the Democratic National Committee rejected Michiagn and Florida. The Democratic National Committee discriminated against Florida and Michigan and should consider changing the name of its party. At least Mike Gravel had the wisdom to leave the Democratic Party to convert to the Libertarian Party.

The Republican Party treated Ron Paul with the same disrespect and allowed itself to become nothing more than a coronation party for John Mc Cain to continue as the “regent” for the Bush Dynasty so that they can group again.

If the United States wanted a true election process, the people of the United States should ask for the participation of all political parties and throw out the Republicans and Democrats via the ballot box and replace them with the Libertarian Party under Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root.

China Advances in Asian Women’s Soccer [CRI English]

China triumphed over Thailand 5-1 on Friday to advance into the knock-out round at the AFC Women¡¯s football championships with one group match to play. Qu Feifei scored twice for China, along with goals from Liu Sa, Xu Yuan and veteran Pu Wei, to hammer China a berth in the second phase after two consecutive wins in the group. China narrowly beat hosts Vietnam 1-0 in their opening game. They will later clash with North Korea, a team that they could hardly overcome over the past years.

A Message from Bob Barr

 

Dear Friend,

There is no better word than friend to describe each and every one of you who worked so hard and contributed so much to ensure our victory at the Libertarian National Convention. Without your generous efforts we could not have won.

I am extremely grateful and proud to consider you among my closest of friends.

Our convention victory was a considerable challenge. It took six rounds of voting to decide the nomination.

We faced an array of honorable candidates who are truly dedicated to the cause of liberty. I was proud to sit on the debate stage with all of my esteemed colleagues. The other candidates waged a valiant battle for the Libertarian Party nomination, and I’d like to commend each and every one of them for conducting such efforts.

As tough as this challenge was, we have a much tougher one facing us over the next five months. Our new adversaries are not the honorable colleagues we faced in Denver. We cannot expect the Republican and Democratic parties to play by the rules or be committed to the cause of liberty. We have to be prepared for ballot access challenges, media distortions, and direct smears aimed at the libertarian movement and the Libertarian Party.

Typically, the mainstream media and the major parties ignore independent and third party campaigns. Sometimes, as with Ross Perot, they can’t. This year the media has bought into the idea that Senator McCain owns some votes and I’ll take them from him. The very fact the media repeats that story ensures we will be in the news constantly.

With the increased media attention and your hard work we are on the move, upward! How high we are able to Raise the Barr for Liberty is up to you…

Because of the groundwork Libertarian Party activists, donors and candidates have laid, we have a great start on ballot access. However, the national party only anticipated 48 state ballot access. Despite the extreme hurdles in Oklahoma and challenges in West Virginia, we’d like to ensure fifty-state ballot access plus the District of Columbia. The Republicans and Democrats will try everything possible to keep us off the ballot. If we are to succeed, we need your volunteer and financial support.

Because of the foundation Ron Paul, Libertarian Party activists, donors and LP candidates have laid, we have a great start on spreading the message of liberty. Many people have awakened to the message of liberty for the first time because of all of our efforts. Others have become re-engaged in the process of liberty because of our efforts. In order to ensure that every single American is exposed to the message of liberty, it is crucial that we volunteer our time and our hard-earned money.
Because of the unique circumstances surrounding this election cycle, we may be facing the “perfect storm” many freedom-minded Americans have dreamed of for decades. We have a record level of disenchantment with the two major parties right now. We have a record level of dissatisfaction with the direction America is heading. The only thing lower than the President’s abysmal polling numbers are Congress’ approval numbers.
With government spending out of control and the dollar falling, America is swiftly headed for economic hard times. And they just don’t get it in Washington.
It’s by no coincidence that people like Ross Perot’s former campaign manager Russ Verney and policy expert Doug Bandow are on board with this campaign. It’s no coincidence that people like you are on board with this campaign.

Because of the foundation you have laid and the unique circumstances of this election cycle, we are in it to win it – but the challenges are certainly tremendous. This means that we need your most professional efforts on the ground as well as your immediate financial assistance.
I know that most of you haven’t had a chance to catch your breath or catch up on your sleep since the convention in Denver — I certainly haven’t. Please take a day to relax, hug your children, go out to dinner with your loved ones — because the coming days, weeks, and months are going to be rough — AND exciting.
In the meantime, if you haven’t already, please take a few short moments to sign up as a campaign volunteer or make a contribution to help ensure the success of everything for which you have been fighting so long now.
It is with the deepest of respect that I honor each of my worthy opponents for the Libertarian Party nomination. It is with the deepest of admiration that I thank each of my many friends who have worked so hard to bring us to this point.
It is up to each and everyone one of us to ensure that the voice of Liberty, the voice of our Founding Fathers, the voice of America is not only heard, but clearly represented in each and every polling booth in the country on Election Day.
With the humblest of thanks,

Bob

Bob Barr and Oklahoma

 

According to the Bob Barr Campaign Website at http://www.bobbarr2008.com/ and News OK at http://newsok.com , The Libertarian Party of Oklahoma is attempting to collect 43,913 signatures before the 15th of July 2008 in order for Bob Barr to appear in the ballot. It remains to be seen whether it can be done. Oklahoma is another notorious state when it comes to ballot access.

Democrats’ health care reform plans are designed to satisfy corpororate backers: Green Party USA

Democrats’ health care reform plans are designed to satisfy corporate
backers, not solve the health care crisis, say Greens

• Green candidates call Single-Payer/Medicare For All the only plan to
help working Americans who need care most

• Corporate campaign money and sponsorship of Dem and GOP conventions
will banish real health care and campaign finance reform, say Greens

WASHINGTON, DC — Green Party leaders and candidates said today that
the health care reform plans offered by Democratic candidates Barack
Obama and Hillary Clinton are designed to benefit insurance and
pharmaceutical corporations — including contributors to their own
campaigns — rather than American people who need coverage and
treatment.

The Green Party and its candidates strongly support the Single-Payer
national health care plan, also called Medicare For All
(http://www.gp.org/organize/sicko.html).

“Anyone who believes that Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama will offer
real reform in the next administration has been misled by the
Democratic Party leadership and their shills in the media. Ms.
Clinton and Mr. Obama are among the highest recipients of money from
insurance firms, HMOs, and drug manufacturers /”>http://www.opensecrets.org],” said Jody Grage,
treasurer of the Green Party of the United States.

“Except for a handful who are marginalized by their own party, most
Democratic candidates are running to prevent real health care reform.
They intend to keep control over our health care in the hands of
corporate insurance firms and HMOs who make their profits by denying
treatment. That’s why over 45 million Americans don’t have health
coverage and millions more can’t get the treatment they need even
though they have insurance,” said Ms. Grage.

Ms. Clinton’s $110-billion-per-year ‘mandatory coverage’ plan would
offer a gigantic subsidy for the HMO-insurance industry, while
shifting the burden — and the blame for lack of coverage — onto
people who desperately need health care. Mr. Obama rejects the
Single-Payer option and has promised that his plan would sustain the
HMO and insurance industry.

Greens noted that the 2008 Democratic and Republican national
conventions will be funded by numerous corporate sponsors seeking
favors from the next White House and Congress (“DNC sponsorships raise
questions on motivations,” Rocky Mountain News, March 12, 2008,
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/may/12/dnc-sponsorships-raise-questions-on-motivations/).

The Green Party, which accepts no corporate contributions, will hold
its national convention in Chicago, July 10-13
(http://www.greenparty2008.org). The candidates for the Green
presidential nomination — Jesse Johnson, Cynthia McKinney, Kent
Mesplay, and Kat Swift — all support Single-Payer.

“There’s no incentive for either Democrats or Republicans to pursue
real campaign finance reform and get corporate money out of politics
and public policy, because they both benefit from the current system.
The only way to shock the system and get real reform is by voting for
Greens, giving a noncorporate party seats in Congress and state
legislatures, and showing the Democrats that they can’t take their
seats for granted,” said Bob Kinsey, Colorado Green candidate for the
US Senate (http://www.kinseyforsenate.org).

“Greens are the only party with the solution for the health care
crisis. Democrats and Republicans have nothing to offer when it comes
to health care, except more denial of treatment, more financial ruin
for working Americans who suffer a serious emergency, and big bucks
for corporate cronies,” Mr. Kinsey added.

The Single-Payer/Medicare For All would guarantee every American
health care regardless of age, income, employment, or prior medical
condition; allow choice of health care provider; provide low-cost or
no-cost treatment and prescriptions (including complementary and
alternative medicine); and cost low- and middle-income Americans far
less than they now pay for private or employer-based coverage by
eliminating insurance and HMO company overhead. To contact Green
