No one is ever motivated to do anything until they become concerned about something and realize it has something to do with their own self interest!!!
Some times when they realize how easy it is, they get all carried away with it like in the French revolution with the guillotine!!!
Sounds like maybe, speaking of France, that they may be having another little revolution over there today by not electing the feminist/socialist and electing an America friendly center-right CONservative dude!!!
So when did this dictator assume the powers of the US presidency and decide to sign treaties with foreign governments?
A California citizen needs to take this Austrian moron to federal court and challenge this action.
I don’t think people who haven’t lived in Cali understand the desperation expressed in the above 3-4 posts. We’re still a republic, but in terms of direct democracy — by the demographics, we’re lost. To answer hedgetrimmer’s question: I think it’s best to help middle class Americans understand how close we’ve come to losing it all since Reagan has been out of office. If you can get them to stop watching their HDTVs, and texting their children, and disconnect from their PlayStation3’s long enough to think about it... Once the voting middle class understands what has happened, they may look past a Hillary Clinton, a Giuliani, or a Thompson and consider a Hunter or Tancredo.
It seems to me that he is treading right on the edge to avoid these arrangements being seen as a “treaty” or “pact” or “alliance” (etc.), meanwhile creating foreign entanglements that take us down the same darn path. There is no reporter, and no group, that seem to have this on the radar. In fact, in the case of this new agreement, there isn’t a single U.S. media source that made a mention of it, only Australian newspapers. Had there not been an (R) by his name, I believe some Republican groups would step forward. —sigh.

A good anecdotal argument against repealing the Constitutional prohibition on the foreign-born becoming President. And where’s the Congressional approval for Schwarzenegger’s pan-Pacific scheme?
Yes, there’s a bright side to this story. Patriots will always remember the Terminator and what he did to Cali when it most needed an American to lead it out of darkness.
