Anyone for Pravda or Ezvestya ? This is just more evidence that our government is taking more from the old Soviet playbook. Velvet, you are right, the founders would have take up arms some time ago. Whether we want to believe it or not, we are all now complicit in changing our nation from the greatest nation on the the face of this planet to nothing more than a banana republic. It makes no difference that you didn't vote for Obama, we have all stood idly by and, by the standards of our forefathers, done very little to prevent the "change you can believe in" from taking place. However, all is not lost. We can and will take our country back. The next election cycle is fast coming upon us. Matter of factly, petitions to run for office will start floating July 1. This is when the people wanting to run for office in 2010 will be rallying supporters and getting signatures to get their names on the ballot. It is my belief that we need common people to run for all offices. People we have never heard of, people that have not made a career out of politics, people that respect another's rights and freedoms, people that can demonstrably balance their own personal and/or business budgets. Now, bear in mind that many of these people may not stand a snowballs chance in he## of being elected, but they very possibly could start the masses to thinking about what freedoms they are giving up for the little security they will gain in return. I urge everyone to support candidates like this, if there is not one, then I urge YOU to run for an office---makes no difference if it is local, State, of Federal. We have got to vote all these bums out, if that means getting rid of a few good ones as well, then so be it. But, we must get these people out of office or our complicity in changing this nation into a banana republic only becomes more implicit.

Thor, elections can and have been rigged in the U.S. before. It is not unlikely that they will not be again. Listen to me, now I'm sounding like Enfield talking about a conspiracy. We need to be ever vigilant and guard against this happening. We also need to get rid of the professional politicians. What exactly makes them any better at running our governments than plain, ordinary people ?
