1803 - Chief Justice John Marshall declares that any act of
 
U.S. Congress
which conflicts with the Constitution is void.
Editor's Note:
Please keep in mind before you can become a policeman, Judge, Congressman, Senator, President of The U.S.A., a Cabinet member or hold any other high office in our government, you must first take an oath to uphold and protect our Constitution above all other laws. Failing to do so is an act of treason, punishable by death by U.S. law.  Here are some things our constitution will not allow, Thus they are all constitutionally Null and Void. The Patriot act, The Department of Homeland Security, Warrantless Spying on Americans, The War on Drugs, The war in Afghanistan, The War in Iraq, The War on Terrorism, a Preemptive strike War with Iran and the list goes on and on...  In short, Bush and every member of his cabinet are guilty of high treason and so are ALL U.S. congressmen and senators who voted for any of the things listed above.

Congress engages in holier-than-thou public condemnation of American internet companies who are helping the Chinese government suppress free speech.

In reality, this media circus gets Congress off the hook. It reassures the public that something is being done, when in fact nothing is,

Bush Administration Breaks Record
Administration Borrows more from Foreign Nations
than Previous 42 Presidents Combined

A release from John Tanner (D-TN)
Washington, D.C. - President George W. Bush and the current Administration have now borrowed more money from foreign governments and banks than the previous 42 U.S. presidents combined.

Throughout the first 224 years (1776-2000) of our nation's history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions according to the U.S. Treasury Department. In the past four years alone (2001-2005), the Bush Administration has borrowed a staggering $1.05 trillion.

"The seriousness of this rapid and increasing financial vulnerability of
our country can hardly be overstated," said Rep. John Tanner (D-TN)

Editor's Note: The link above has been on this home page for most of the year because, G. W. Bush, Dick Cheney and most of their cabinet are being sued for 7 billion dollars by the families of 9/11, for helping to plan and assure that the 9/11 attacks were carried out as planned. This case first went before a U.S. judge on 1/3/2005, and it's currently being appealed in the 9th circuit court in Ca... Regardless of what political party you favor, I feel when the president of the U.S.A. is being sued for 7 billion dollars, it's the medias obligation to bring these facts to the American people.

White House Has Ties to Dubai Firm Taking Over Ports
The Dubai firm that won Bush administration backing to run six US ports has at least two ties to the White House. One is Treasury Secretary John Snow, whose agency heads the federal panel that signed off on the $6.8 billion sale of an English company to government-owned Dubai Ports World, the other connection is David Sanborn, who runs DP World's European and Latin American operations and was tapped by Bush last month to head the US Maritime Administration.

Email Forward Of The Week !
.
NOT A NEWS STORY... OR IS IT ?
As everyone knows, the U.S. Constitution established a "REPRESENTATIVE
form of government" with an elected Congress to make laws and an elected
President to either veto or execute them and otherwise administrate the government.
Not surprisingly, the REPRESENTATIVE system was immediately corrupted by
money interests that gained control or influence over politicians who
could personally benefit in one form or another by the material support,
even if it was nothing more than election to public office.
The truth is that the Constitution and government of the U.S. has never
reflected the simple WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, especially in foreign
policy! While polls showed that most Americans have been opposed or
sharply divided over U.S. military violence and involvements, it has
continued from the days of aggression across the North American
continent to invasion in foreign lands.
For the record, "the War of 1812 was so controversial that New
Englanders seriously considered seceding from the Union to avoid
supporting it. The Mexican-American War aroused such passion that
Abraham Lincoln gave a stirring speech in Congress against it", said
author Richard Shenkman in his book "I Love Paul Revere Whether He Rode or Not" (1991).
The Spanish American War provoked a national debate about imperialistic
aggression, and World War I in Europe divided the U.S. government to the
extent that Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan resigned his
office in protest. Almost as many people were opposed to the Korean War
as ultimately condemned the Vietnam War forcing its end, and the current
war in Iraq appears equally unpopular.
The U.S. was involved in SEVERAL HUNDRED wars and other military
operations in which only five were declared "war" by Congress, according
to the research of Michael Kronenwetter, author of "The Military Power of the President" (1998).
The sad truth of the REPRESENTATIVE form of government in the U.S. is
that it more accurately represents what President Dwight Eisenhower
warned was a dangerous "Military-Industrial Complex" (bearing such
labels as Illuminati, Cabal, and New World Order).
It is well known that military forces thrive on the expenditure of tax
monies for weapons and equipment, war industries thrive on tax funds to
pay for these things, and the American people are coerced like sheep to
pay the tax bill and shed blood on ever-expanding battlefields around
the world on one excuse or another, including a "terrorist threat". Is
it not possible that U.S. expansionist policies have played into the hands of terrorists?
The bottom line is, the U.S. government consistently serves the
Military-Industrial Complex and fails to represent the true desires of most Americans.

THIS IS A JOKE,  IT'S NOT A NEWS STORY, OR IS IT ?
Dear IRS,
Enclosed is my 2005 tax return showing that I owe $3,407.00 in taxes.
Please note the attached article from USA Today, wherein you will see the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat.
I am enclosing four toilet seats (value $2400) and six hammers (value $1029), bringing my total remitted to $3429.00.
Please apply the overpayment of $22.00 to the "Presidential Election Fund," as noted on my return. You can do this inexpensively by sending them one 1.5" Phillips Head screw (article from USA Today detailing how HUD pays $22.00 each for 1.5" Phillips Head Screws is enclosed for your convenience.)
It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year.
Sincerely,
A Satisfied Taxpayer

While you're distracted, the other one lets herself in the backseat and then they both start begging you for a ride home.
   Be very wary, because as soon as you start driving, one of them will
take off her shirt and rub her breasts on you while the other climbs over
the seat and unzips your pants.  This is when they steal your wallet.

Planet Alert February 2006
..."Many have criticized Bush for staging the war in Iraq in order to seize Iraqi oil fields. However, those critics can't explain why Bush would want to seize those fields - he could simply print dollars for nothing and use them to get all the oil in the world that he needs. He must have had some other reason to invade Iraq. Bush must have went into Iraq to defend his Empire. Indeed, this is the case: two months after the United States invaded Iraq, the oil for food program was terminated, the Iraq EURO accounts were switched back to dollars, and oil was sold once again only for U.S. dollars. No longer could the world buy oil from Iraq with EUROs. Global dollar supremacy was once again restored. Bush descended victoriously from a fighter jet and declared the mission accomplished - he had successfully defended the U.S. dollar, and thus the American Empire." ..

New York State Facts - kids room



What is a Billion?
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one
advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into
perspective in one of its releases:
A billion seconds ago
- it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago - Jesus was alive
A billion hours ago-
our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago - was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the
rate that the Federal Government in Washington D.C. spends it.

Editor's Note:  A viewer wrote in on 6/29/2005, telling me the statement above was wrong.
 Here is what he had to say...

On your website you have a statement about what is a billion:
1 Billion Seconds ago it was 1973 not 1959
1 Billion Minutes ago Jesus had died and been risen for over 60 years
Depending on the Budget the 8hrs 20min might actually be a lot faster.
(The 8.333hrs is dependent on a yearly budget of 1.051 Trillion dollars)

My Thoughts...
Since the annual budget that President Bush proposed for the up coming year is over 2.4 Trillion dollars... That would mean that our government is now spending your tax dollars at the rate of over 2 billion dollars every 8 hours !
*****************
Despite what President Bush says, the war on Iraq is not over. The cost of this war to the American tax payer is going up every second. Since we can't put a price on human lives, we will just give you the figures in tax dollars that the American tax payers have paid as of right now. These figures were provided by the Costofwar.com website.
