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.

GOP Blocks Eavesdropping Probe
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted along party lines yesterday to reject a Democratic proposal to investigate the Bush administration's domestic surveillance program and instead approved establishing, with White House approval, a seven-member panel to oversee the effort...
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/030806J.shtml
Editor's Note: Spying on Americans listed above and the patriot act listed below both undermine our Constitution.  Lawmakers intentionally undermining our constitution are guilty of treason by U.S. Constitutional law.  And their votes for these illegal laws is all the proof we need to wipe out reasonable doubt.  So at this point, our military has every legal right to arrest everyone in the White House and every member of our Congress and Senate who voted for either of these illegal laws, charging them with treason.  In fact, it's our military's obligation at this point.

White House Warns Whistle-Blowers
The Bush administration, seeking to limit leaks of classified information, has launched initiatives targeting journalists and their possible government sources. The efforts include several FBI probes, a polygraph investigation inside the CIA and a warning from the Justice Department that reporters could be prosecuted under espionage laws.
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/030506B.shtml

Editor's Note: Since espionage and treason are 2 charges that every member of the Bush administration seems to be guilty of at least one of, the 'whistle-blowers' are the true patriotic Americans who are putting their necks on the line to get the real truth out to 'We The People.'

which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these

unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--
That to secure these Rights,

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.

On September 18, 1787, as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the meeting, at the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia where our Constitutional Republic was formed, Mrs. Powel directly asked him, “Well, Doctor, what have we got?  A republic or a monarchy?”  Mr. Franklin responded,
 “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Iraq War Veteran Garett Reppenhagen
'I Trusted My Country'

Iraq War Veteran Garett Reppenhagen writes that "in February of 2004, it was my turn to go to war. I was with 2-63 AR 1st Infantry Division stationed in Baquba, Iraq, as a Sniper in a six-man team. During my year there, I saw a lack of effort by our government to provide the US Soldier with the ability to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. As events unfolded, like Abu Ghraib and the battles in Fallujah, a growing resentment of the Iraqi people swelled the support for the insurgency. Our mission there became impossible."

The answer to your better understanding of the underlying Cabal's ugly motives as of why would Cabal's CIA detonate New Orleans levees you might get from the p.30 of the below pasted article:
P.30
Read the Strecker Memorandum on AIDS and the World Health Organization connection. This documents their tainted vaccination program in Africa and elsewhere. Why not kill them off? Don't you understand that the blacks as a whole have absorbed all the debt that they can? The blacks have reached the maximum of the debt that they can carry. In fact, they have gone over their limit to pay back. They are now heavily into welfare, public housing, medicaid, medicare, food stamps etc.. Now, the situation is that instead of paying off the creditor, they have become a drain on the creditor. The creditor must now pay them to live and take care of them. What creditor in his right mind wants to spend money on a bunch of people from whom he can't collect any revenue?
The Cabal's Global and U.S.Corp. System considers the American people and the people of the world in general as the Enemies of its Global Corporate Establishment.
As the people around the world keep awakening to the Truth about the Cabal's fraudulent global schemes, Cabal is working fervently to establish their prison camps on the American soil and in the world to imprison all "enemies" (called "terrorists") of its corporate global and U.S.Corp. system. In Cabal's plan for its global control the American people present only the already bankrupt and enslaved debtor party in its "Indebt, Bankrupt, Enslave and Control" scheme.
Cabal's slogan: "Our war against terrorism in the name of freedom and democracy" is in reality the Cabal's Global War slogan in its fight for the preservation of its Corporate Global Establishment.
P.11 America as a bankrupt nation is owned completely by its creditors.
The creditors own the Congress, they own the Executive, they own the Judiciary and they own all the State governments. Do you have a Birth Certificate? They own you too.
In essence, all court decisions are based on commercial law or business law and has criminal penalties associated with it. Rather than openly calling this new law Admiralty/Maritime Jurisdiction, it is called Statutory Jurisdiction.
P. 27 TODAY we are again ENSLAVED. Private natural American people have been tricked, deceived, and set-up to carry the U.S. Inc. perpetual corporate debt under bankruptcy laws. Every time Americans appear in court, the corporate U.S. bankruptcy is being administrated against them without their knowledge and lawful consent. That is FRAUD.

From The Stupid Awards - Sad But True List
#6 - In FRANCE, Jacques LeFevrier left nothing to chance when he decided to commit suicide.  He stood at the top of a
tall cliff and tied a noose around his neck.  He tied the other end of the rope to a large rock. He drank some poison and set
fire to his clothes.  He even tried to shoot himself at the last moment.  He jumped and fired the pistol.  The bullet missed
him completely and cut through the rope above him.  Free of the threat of hanging, he plunged into the sea.  The sudden
dunking extinguished the flames and made him vomit the poison.  He was dragged out of the water by a kind fisherman
and was taken to a hospital, where he died of hypothermia.

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)

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

The time has come to investigate the Bush Administration's role in the prisoner abuse and humiliation that has motivated our enemies in the war on terror and endangers the well-being of our fighting forces...

***** In Today's America There Is A More Powerful Act Than Voting Blue...
And That's Buying Blue !
*****
You may have voted blue, but every day you unknowingly help dump millions of dollars into the conservative war chest. By purchasing products and services from companies that donate heavily to conservatives, we have been compromising our own interests as liberals and progressives.

BuyBlue.org is a concerted effort to lift the veil of corporate patronage, so consumers can make informed buying decisions that coincide with their principles.
Currently, we are developing an extensive and interactive website where users will be able to monitor corporate activity in real time. We cannot do this alone; we need an army of Blue buyers to be the eyes and ears of this movement. All we have to do is put our money where our mouth is to make it profitable to be ethical.
Our collective buying power WILL make a difference, and we WILL be heard.

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)
His source: www.snopes.com

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.
