THE BLUEPRINT: Obama's Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency
“With their characteristic style, Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski offer compelling arguments and insights demonstrating that much of President Obama’s agenda undermines our Constitution and America’s system of limited government that keeps us free. An important and timely book.”
—Edwin Meese III, Former Attorney General of the United States and Counselor to President Ronald Reagan
“Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski do an outstanding job showing how much of President Obama’s agenda, which is undermining America’s families, also violates our constitutional rights. This is a must read!”
—Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council
“The Blueprint proves beyond a doubt that much of Barack Obama’s power grab is more than just terrible for our economy; it’s unconstitutional. Share this book with your friends.”
—Steve Forbes, Chairman and CEO of Forbes Media, and former presidential candidate
Barack Obama’s shocking plan to take over the government,
the elections, the economy, the American consciousness,
and even our personal freedoms
From noted conservative leader Ken Blackwell and Washington, D.C.-based constitutional attorney and journalist Ken Klukowski comes an urgently needed book about President Barack Obama’s blueprint to centralize power in the White House, subvert the Constitution, and transform the United States of America into a militant, secular welfare state dominated by an overbearing central government.
The authors identify and discuss more than twenty tactics being taken by the Obama administration to restructure the country and ensure perpetual liberal rule—such as changing voting laws, politicizing the census, coercing corporations into adopting its policies, planning to destroy talk radio, and seeking to make millions of illegal aliens into voting citizens. By means both sharp and subtle, President Obama aims to change Americans’ views about government, liberty, and even God.
*
· Czars: The authors show how Obama is installing a shadow government of radical appointees not subject to Senate confirmation and answerable to no one but him.
· Courts: The authors have insider knowledge of how Obama will pack the Supreme Court and lower courts with activist judges who will overstep their constitutional authority.
· When Lawmaking becomes Lawbreaking: The authors reveal the ways Obama is consolidating lawmaking power in the White House, in direct violation of our nation’s separation of powers.
· Changing the American Identity: The authors show how Obama is using unconstitutional tactics to change how we conduct commerce, how we vote, our right to bear arms, and the free-speech rights of opposition voices.
Well this ought to be good. Saw him on Hannity tonite. Hope he is on his game. Stewart will try and #$%# with him.
That’s putting it mildly. I couldn’t believe Stewart would have backup singers in choir robes telling Goldberg to F yourself.
What could he possibly do next? He’s desperate.
Blackwell reminded me of Rep. Massa being interviewed by Glen Beck. Other than bullet points, Blackwell had nothing to say. Frankly I wonder if he wrote the book.
I think Mr. Blackwell had a touch of stage fright. He’s never been known to be a fast talker on TV. But he is a brilliant man. And you can’t get much more conservative then Ken Blackwell. I wish he were our president!
Here’s just some of what it say on Wikipedia
Blackwell was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to George (a meatpacker) and Dana (a part-time nurse) Blackwell in 1948. He has two brothers, Carl and Charles. He married his wife Rosa in 1969 while he was in college. They have three children, Kimberly, Rahshann (a Denver resident and Ohio Northern Law School graduate) and Kristin.
Blackwell attended Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio on a football scholarship. Blackwell received a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from Xavier in 1970 and his Master of Education degree, also from Xavier, in 1971. He taught at Xavier from 1974 to 1991 and has served as a trustee of Wilberforce University and Wilmington College. After college, he was invited to the Dallas Cowboys’ training camp; he states that he gave up football when he was told he would have to convert from linebacker to offensive lineman.[4]
From 1979 to 1980, Blackwell served as Mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio. Earlier, he had been a member of the Cincinnati city council.
Blackwell served in the administration of President George H. W. Bush as undersecretary in the Department of Housing and Urban Development from 1989 to 1990. He returned to Cincinnati to run for the first district seat in the United States House of Representatives being vacated by Tom Luken. Blackwell lost to Luken’s son, Charlie Luken, by a narrow 51% to 49% margin. Following his close defeat, President Bush appointed Blackwell ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission. Blackwell served in that post from 1992 to 1993.
Blackwell was appointed Ohio State Treasurer by then-Gov. George Voinovich in 1994 to complete the term of Mary Ellen Withrow, who was appointed U.S. treasurer by President Bill Clinton. Blackwell was elected treasurer in 1994 and was elected Ohio Secretary of State in 1998. That year, Blackwell considered a run for governor, but Ohio Republican Party chairman Robert T. Bennett persuaded Blackwell to run for secretary of state instead, leaving the governorship open to Bob Taft.[citation needed] Blackwell was national chairman of longtime friend Steve Forbes’ presidential campaign in 2000.[5] Blackwell was re-elected secretary of state in 2002.
Blackwell, a strict fiscal and social conservative, has become a vocal critic of the moderate wing of the Ohio Republican Party, including Taft, for adopting tax increases in the face of budget shortfalls in recent years.[citation needed][when?] He has also demanded the resignation of Ohio House of Representatives Speaker Larry Householder, a Republican, whose staff became embroiled[when?] in fund-raising scandals.[citation needed]
He was also[when?] the most prominent Republican to support adding an amendment to the state constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage.[citation needed] The state’s Republican U.S. Senator George Voinovich and then-Senator Mike DeWine opposed the amendment’s broad language, fearing it could bar not only same-sex marriage but also civil unions, domestic partnerships, and possibly wills and any legal contracts for homosexuals.[citation needed] Taft later[when?] also came out against the amendment, expressing his concern that its ambiguous language would have unintended consequences and leave the state open to a number of lawsuits.[citation needed] During the campaign Blackwell lobbied hard for this measure and was widely credited[by whom?] with attracting many conservative evangelical African Americans to the polls to vote for the measure and for Bush’s re-election. The amendment passed with the approval of 61.64% of the voters.

Thank you for your kind comments about Ken Blackwell.
I’ve admired Ken Blackwell for years. Voted for him for secretary of state which he won, and for Governor of Ohio but he didn’t win that one. We got stuck with what’s his name.
To me, Mr. Blackwell’s like the good guy in an old movie. He’s honest, keeps his word, works hard for the people, can not be compromised, he’s brilliant and he’s pro-life. What more could anyone want in a leader?
As I said in a previous post about him, he’s the grownup in the room!
