When was the last time you were in a bank, and saw behind the counter to the open vault area accessed by the tellers? In that area are posted large images of genuine U.S. currency, along with a list of details for the employees to check to ensure that any currency being passed to the bank is the real thing.
How many people these days (voters) can tell when a presidential candidate is "the real thing" -- that is, Constitutionally eligible for the office?
When I was in school, I was taught that only a natural born citizen could be President, and a natural born citizen was born of two American citizen parents on American soil.
Since BO was elected, it is apparent that voters either (a) were never taught this or (b) forgot it or (c) rationalized that since the media and political parties were pushing for this guy, that he MUST have been eligible, right?
It DOES NOT help when people from other parties--not just the Dems--talk of their White House aspirations when they are clearly ineligible or are of uncertain eligibility status. Naturalized citizens Schwarzenegger and Granholm. Born-abroad citizens Weicker and McCain. Fourteenth Amendment citizen Jindal. You get the picture.
All of the other candidates who are clearly ineligible or are of dubious eligibility made it possible for the majority of voters to pull the lever for BO.
We need to educate people and reestablish in the mind of the voting public that there is a "bright line" of eligibility for office, and uniquely so for the office of the President.
As a result I got this e-mail:
please read!!!
I contacted my Congressman about House bill HR 3590, the health care bill. I asked for a summary of changes.
The Aid directed me to go to www: thomas.gov<http://thomas.gov/%3E; ; enter HR 3590 in the search box and look for summaries.
Starting in 2011 (next year folks) your W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are given by the company. It does not matter if that’s a private concern or Governmental body of some sort.
If you’re retired? So what; your gross WILL go up by the amount of insurance you get.
You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of money that you have never seen.
Take your tax form you just finished and see what $15,000 or $20,000 additional gross does to your tax debt. That’s what you’ll pay next year.
For many it also puts you into a new higher bracket so it’s even worse.
This is how the government is going to buy insurance for 15 % that don’t have insurance and it’s only part of the tax increases.
Not believing this I researched the summaries and here’s what I’m reading:
On page 25 of 29:
TITLE IX REVENUE PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET
PROVISIONS - (sec. 9001, as modified by sec. 10901) Sec.9002. “requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employee’s gross income.”
Joan Pryde is the senior tax editor for the Kiplinger letters. Go to Kiplinger’s and read about 13 tax changes that could affect you. Number 3 is what I just told you about.
Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to every single person in your address book. People have the right to know the truth because an election is coming in November and we need to vote in Conservatives that will repeal this horrid law! JK

My secretary of state said that the American voters are responsible to do the “security check” for politicians. I asked him how we could do that, since none of us have authority to see the only records that would allow us to do even a basic check of eligibility.
He said the media does it for us and they would never let a politician get away with lying.
We REALLY need people to know that nobody is doing any kind of security check on anybody. Linda Bentley’s article yesterday explaining that though the law doesn’t exempt congress-critters from having to show valid documentation that other government employees have to show in order to be employed... IN PRACTICE they are. Nobody checks anything on congress-critters. We have NO NATIONAL SECURITY CHECKS ON OUR CONGRESS CRITTERS.
The public absolutely needs to have their myths exposed on who is actually enforcing the laws in this country. Right now, when it comes to Congress at least, it’s NOBODY. The people who can, won’t. And the people who will, can’t.
