There is a well entrenched organization afoot that is unabashedly reorganizing life in the United States as we know it. Fifty years ago, most members of Congress would have quickly labeled the goals and activities of groups like these "un-American activities." Today, almost all the members of the groups in question are members of both the Democratic Party and Congress, people with decidedly un-American intentions.

People none of us elected to anything would chair committees controlling our commercial law and much of the public lands and conservation in the continental United States -- even though they are not from here.

At least thirty important committees in the House will be chaired by card carrying, go to meetin' socialists if the Democrats win. They will have many of the financial committees, some of the military affairs committees and control most of the environmental issues. Their common bond is socialism, which they admit to publicly by membership in the Progressive Caucus.

The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC)"think tank" is the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI), which admits to being a "Third Way" socialist organization.

An offshoot of the DLC and PPI is The New Democrat Network (NDN) and acts as a political venture capital fund.

For un-American activities in the Senate, start with the impeachment fiasco. Not one Democratic Senator bothered to even look at the evidence against Clinton. Not even one! Which means, not one Democratic Senator belongs in any position of honor ever again.

But, at least Lautenberg is alive. In the last few elections the Democratic Party has actually thought it proper to run dead candidates.

Democrats on Capitol Hill tend to be out-and-out socialists and lawbreakers working against the original intent of the authors of our Constitution. Therefore, they consciously and intentionally violate their oath of office and should never be allowed to hold a position in any level of government.

As President Ronald Reagan wisely cautioned: "Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again."

The Republicans said they wanted to end the Federal Department of Education, they got control of both houses and did not.

The Republicans say they are for smaller government. It has only grown faster under Republicans.

The Republicans say they are against socialism. They continue to increase socialized medical programs.

On and on so it goes. If the Republicans want to win they need to get their base back. I voted for Nixon for Pete’s sake!

Taxes, education, medical care, privatize social security. Any one of them would get me back. Until then I vote STRAIGHT LIBERTARIAN, or NOTA. I may even vote for a Democrat in the congressional race, because he is more conservative than the RINO Gingrey in Georgia’s 11th.

My only goal is to prevent Democrats from gaining office, if that means voting for a straight GOP ticket, so be it.

[Satadru]

Too late. Already voted straight-party Libertarian in IL, except for Attorney General and US Congress.

Bump....I hope everybody gets it.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

bumped and bookmarked! Thank you, Doug Fiedor, for an excellent summary of what *could* be after November 5, 2002. Let's pray it doesn't happen!

If the average GOP politician was cut from the same bolt of cloth as Tancredo I might actually vote 'publican. Other than him, nobody seems serious about deporting illegals and putting concertina wire and troops on the border to stem the invasion. So screw it...I'll vote America First Party here on out and the GOP globalists can import their own demise by being unconcerned about stamping out immigration.

After yet another amnesty, today's illegals will be tomorrow's socialists, pulling the vote lever for the Dems.

Voting Republican and 'working within the system' doesn't get anything done. Some are even pouring gasoline on the fire and voting Democrat just to speed things along.

José E. Serrano**, the Democrat Delegate from Puerto Rico, is the ranking minority member of the Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State, and the Judiciary and would get that chairmanship. Also from Puerto Rico is the Democratic Delegate Carlos Romero-Barceló. He would chair the National Parks & Public Lands Subcommittee. Eni Faleomavaega**, the Delegate from American Samoa, would chair the Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife & Oceans Subcommittee. Robert Underwood, the Delegate from Guam, would chair the Committee on Resources' Subcommittee on Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and Oceans.

WHAT ??!??!? ... Help me out here. how are people who are not Congressmen allowed to wield such power in a committee?

[Clemenza]

I'm voting Republican for every office here in New York with the exception of the Governor, as I think Pataki is a worthless socialist.

[The Raven]

One of the hardest concepts to convey to the average American is that by voting for the Democrats - their wages and benefits go down - not up - in the long term. No matter where theyt lie on the economic scale

[Alan Chapman]

Why we must NOT vote Republican

[Concentrate]

I'm going to vote straight Republican, except where a Republican appears twice, once as a Republican and once as a different party candidate, say, the Right to Life party, or the Libertarian party. In those cases I will vote for the same person under the alternate party, so as to register my vote for third parties.

VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN bump!
