puppet of the establishment

Barack Obama is a puppet of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group which explains his cabinet picks. No real change will be forthcoming. He is simply a happy new face for window dressing on the same Cheneyite policies. This is what happens when a country's electorate has nobody to choose from except two candidates that are 100% bought and paid for by the "powers that be". Whichever one wins the American people lose and the establishment wins. Every time.

My husband has worked for the diplomatic mission in Cameroon for 4 years, and the Consulate was closed 1 year after our marriage. We moved to the united States in October 1994, as missionaries. We founded a church in D.C, and unfortunately, we were confronted to the realities of the US, lack of funding. My husband has a passion for the needed people, and homeless. So He open the door to the church to those that were in need and shelter them. Many were saved, baptized and restored to the society. Many barren women were healed and conceived again. and people were healed.

We were blessed with 3 children who loves music. I have try as a mother to assist him.

I need a job to be able to take care of our need. I have a Master degree in Accounting and currently studying for a second Master in Finances.

Selection of Secy of State

Three names are on the news. H. Clinton. B. Richardson. John Kerry. Clinton has strong support. It is rissky to put heer name in contention and pass over her. She is a strong candidate. Bill Richardson has foreign policy experience and he is a strong candidate. John Kerry,in my opinion is not a strong candidate. I voted for him for president only because I could not vote for Geo.Bush. I did not think that Kerry was a good listener and I had to question his judgement in the advice he took. For example the time and money spent on George Bush's performance in the National Guard and the Swift Boat attack. There were issues- Iraq??? I would not like to see Kerry as Secy of State.

How far are the nets being cast? Outside of government? Fareed Zakaria has an interesting background. He is a citizen, foreign born, has a funny last name, and is strong in international affairs. Kissisnger was , and is, foreign born. Condoleeza Rice is from the world of academia. Zakaria presents as diplomatic, insightful,smooth, and he is well known.

There are my thoughts.

OD BLESS AMERICA

god bless america

God Bleess America Barack Obama the American President and The world leader

The Republicans won't sit around and wait for miracles, but those that want (and expect) a free ride, hand-out, no-work, "gimme" society WILL expect miracles.

We the People of the United States!

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I have a basic philosophy of government, that government be governed by the people, not people being governed by the government. Most people of America, do not participate in the governmental process of being governed by the people, except on election day when they cast their vote. Unfortunately, less than half of the people of the United States cast their vote and the ones that do go to the polls don't know anything or very little about the issues that are being voted on.

In that said; I’m for lower taxes and smaller government, because lower taxes are better for families, property owners, and small businesses. With lower taxes, businesses have more money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate, promotes economic growth, and reduces unemployment.

And if we limit the scope of the federal government in accordance with the constitution, we decrease spending and reducing taxes, increasing our liberty in several ways:

(1) Liberty is increased when government is reduced to its essential and necessary functions, because there is no longer a role for lobbyists fighting to increase pork for their favorite non-essential, unnecessary programs.

(2) Liberty is increased when more government functions and decisions are handled at the state and local levels, closer to the American people.

(3) Liberty is increased when individual citizens have more responsibility and when government has less control.

(4) Limited government leads to lower taxes, and with lower taxes, liberty is increased because businesses have more of their own money to invest, hire, and provide services. Less government bureaucracy improves the business climate and promotes job growth.

(5) Limited government leads to lower taxes, which is better for families and property owners. With lower taxes, liberty is increased because individuals and families have more of their own money - increased take-home pay - for their needs: food, clothing, housing, education, health insurance, and retirement.

(6) When people are able to provide for themselves, they are more likely to achieve prosperity and less dependent on government programs. In turn, this leads to further reduction in government spending, allowing the remaining money to be targeted to legitimate needs, such as military veterans, orphans, and people with severe disabilities.

Senator Barack Obama

Congratulations on your historic win.

BLUEPRINT FOR CHANGE: A MESSAGE FROM BARACK AND JOE

President Elect Barack Obama and Vice President Elect Joe Biden’s Plan for America

Thank you for taking the time to look

at this booklet. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE!

Sincerely

James & Lydia Everitt

Godspeed Preident-elect Obama

Now that we have successfully elected Barack Obama, the doubters, the cynical, the neo-cons who made no demands on Bush and sat back and watched our nation do down the drain, will now demand everything be done in one day. Eventhough the Republicans sat around for eight years allowing Bush to drain the nation, they will expect miracles from the Democrats. I hope and pray that Obama and his transition team keep the faith, stay strong, and do NOT let the nay-sayers get to you. If they were so smart we would not be in this mess. Obama is starting right by selecting the best, smartest, and devoted team. America will be praying for you and know the nation, at least those that count, are behind you and will support you. Our hope and dreams are with you and we know we can depend on the Obama team to put things right as soon as is feasibly possible. I think the nation is intelligent enough to know what took eight years to bring down will take time to correct. Godspeed to the Obama Team, and may the Good Lord guide, protect, and bless you.
