Why the polls were right for the 2020 election. A landslide for Democracy.

 

If the Republican party really wanted to keep control of the White House they should have stolen more votes and disenfranchised more people.

Ever since the HAVA, the HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT, exit polls have been more and more off. Not because they are wrong, but they are a reflection of corruption of the voting systems in America.

Exit polling was always right! People remember how they voted five minuets ago! They were often within a few tenths of a point.

Will Congress and New President Joe reauthorize, update and enforce the Voting Rights act? Reverse the Right Wing attack in Shelby v. Holder.

Interstate Cross Check has removed millions of legitimately registered voters from the voter rolls in many states across the US. A fundamentally flawed system with many security flaws. Interstate cross check was recently suspended indefinitely in a federal civil rights lawsuit. Why would elected or appointed officials have made it harder for people to vote?

Why would a local increase in drop off locations be stopped by the Governor?

What reason would a Republican governor and an all Republican Texas Supreme Court have for a limited number of drops for ballots in Texas?

Why limiting numbers of polling stations? Waiting for hours in a line in Georgia to vote during a pandemic.

 In spite of all limitations, people came out by the thousands. Democratic areas and areas with larger populations of non-white voters spent much longer in lines. The long lines are by design. Still Voters stood up to defend our system of government.

How many people had to use a provisional ballot that thought they were still on the list of registered voters

Why would so many people think that they are registered that are not?

Greg Palast and Stacy Abrams the former state legislator and candidate for Governor are addressing the problems of voter disenfranchisement head on in Georgia. What about the under vote in this years election.

One runoff for two seats are left in the US Senate and will be secured January 5th.  BlueGeorgiaSenate.Com

Democrats must challenge the Republicans and call their Bluff about Voting Fraud, and Mail in ballots being rigged. Re-institute the Voting Rights Act.

Why are Paper ballots, and fully audit-able voting systems are essential,  to secure future elections

No more electronic systems with no paper trail, and definitely no privately owned and proprietary systems for voting. Call your Representatives, state and federal

Why during the middle of a pandemic and economic disaster, an attack on the US mail system? The wholesale destruction of hundreds of of high speed mail sorting machines and removal of mail boxes ordered by Louis DeJoy.

 Delaying the mail during the biggest mail in vote election in American history. Delaying the delivery of medicine by mail, and damaging commerce and the economy further. Endangering hundreds of thousand of elderly or unhealthy people, and Veterans.

The failed attempt to dis-enfranchise the most populace county in Michigan.

The President #45 going so far as to call elected officials from Michigan and Pennsylvania to DC in an attempt to overturn the legitimate results from the state. Filing dozens of frivolous law suits to challenge the results of the elections. Done mostly in areas of democratic or mostly voters of color.

In spite of this all, the people of America removed Trump from the White House. Time to take Senate seats in the runoff January Fifth. Help secure the continuation of our democracy. Anything you can do to help.

On the issues. Citizens United and the problem of money in the American political system. #MoneyoutofPolitics.

The problem of money in the American political system has brought us the current corrupted situation in Washington D.C. and the problems in our State Legislatures. The Federal Constitution never granted the authority of the Supreme Court to redefine the meaning of words.

    Santa Clara V. Pacific Railroad was a fraud that held that railroad corporations are persons, has been taken to extremes today. Used as a cover for bribery and criminal  actions by Corporations. Buying and selling politicians and laws.
 Corporations are artificial entities created by licence from the state, not persons. It is the responsibility of the state to control the creations of the state.

    Buckley v. Valeo which removed limits on campaign donations from corporations and equated money to speech, began the mud slide that ended with Citizen United in 2010.
Money is money, speech is speech.
If a corporation is a person (Which it is not ) and it can spend as much as it like to influence a particular political race, then it is above the equal protection clause as it relates to real persons. That is "We The People" who are limited to how much we are allowed to spend by the campaign laws. This is just a total royal perversion of the original intent of the founders of our Constitutional Republic.


    Political office and elected or appointed officials are bought and sold, or beholden today to those that have donated to their champaign or their particular political parties. The usury banking and financial, insurance scam, including big pharma were the largest doners in the 2016 election cycle. Much of the political process has become a giant money laundering and bribery system to keep the same corrupted profits going to the same crooked political systems that created this mess we are in. 

     Money is not speech. Corporations are not persons. The Supreme Court has become the enemy of the state and the people.  The Republic invisioned by the founders is at a turning point in the history of the United States. Choose well which side of history to stand on. History has judged other failed republics harshly. 

     Our  republic  and people  are not  artificial entities. Democracy is not a spectator sport, tag your it.  The Representatives in Congress can not read your mind. The future of our families, and the people are depending on what happens in the next few days and weeks. movetoamend.org   #MoneyoutofPolitics

On the issues of Socialism in the US. #Election2020

   In the US we have some of the best Socialism, and the some of the worst forms of Socialism.

 We have Socialism for the people and the benefit of our society.  Things like public schools, and the state university systems. The state university systems were mostly funded by public money until the end of the Seventies. Education is one of the most effective ways to stimulate the economy. The G.I Bill after World War Two is a good example.

The fire departments and water systems. Public highways and transportation systems. The Interstate Highway system.
We have Social Security to keep our elders out of poverty, and surviver  benefits for young people who have lost a parent.
Medicare and Medicaid to provide health care for older folks and younger people in need.

Then there is the affordable Care act, a weird hybrid of Socialism and Corporate for profit capatilism. A mix of both good and bad Socialism. At least it provides health care for many people who would not be able to afford it. This does save money over the long run.

Big Pharma put more money into the election of 2016 than any other industries in the country. They got laws passed during the Bush years to prevent negotiating on prices.

  Then there is Socialism for the benefit of corporations.
Mostly a result of the broken election system that allows the corporations to buy influence and politicians and dump huge amounts of money into the campaign contributions of candidates, as well as PACs or super pacs.
 The Citizens United Supreme Court case that decided that money is speech, and changed the direction of political influence in America for the worse is a disaster for the Republic. This must be overturned, or the Constitution amended. Money is not speech and speech is not money.
   During the financial collapse of '08 the same people that caused the problem were given loans of over seven hundred and fifty billion dollars. Wall Street and the Usury bankers made huge profit from the destruction of the economy. All at the expenses of the regular working class people in the country. This all while hundreds of thousands of families were loosing their homes.
 
The fossil fuels industries are given billions of dollars in subsidies for polluting the air and water.  Many of them paying little or no tax on the hugh profits, at the expense of the environment and the people, as well as the economy.  The fossil fuels industries would not be able to continue, or to buy the political influence, and get laws passed contrary to what would be considered common sense to most people if it was not for this political influence.

Subsidies to the agriculture and genetic engineering,  chemical engineering part of the economy produce massive amounts of health problems and environmental destruction.
The agriculture and farming industrial complex that treat  growing food like a war, and the only concern is profit are probably the most destructive of all the things we do to our country and the planet.

There are many who claim Socialism is bad or who claim Socialism is good. Socialism is just an economic system. Like any system of economics, it can be used for good and can be used for bad. 
In Natural Law there is the idea of the Golden Mean, the area in between, a middle area of just the right amount of anything. Not too much and not to little. To much money in politics is a problem. Just like to much of anything, to much rain or to little rain, to much food or to little. To much medicine or to little. We are no longer in that area of the Golden Mean in America. Not in economics, not in politics, not in health care and not in   industry. We have to focus on the issues in a way that considers the Golden Mean.
Consider the Golden Mean in America today.

An attack on EVERYTHING America stands for!

If you value your health, if you value the health of your family, if you value the health of the American economy; the SO called tax bill is up for a vote today in congress. Call your Senator of Congressional representative and tell or ask them to vote no. If you are a student, were a student or plan to be a student in the future this tax scam is bad for America. If you plan to start a business, have a business, or hope to open one in the future this so called tax plan is bad for America. If you would like to see the infrastructure of our country fixed soon, this tax scam is bad for America. If you would like to see the Arctic Wildlife Refuge preserved for future generations of wildlife and people and not opened to oil drilling and fracking, tell your representatives to vote no today. Trickle down economics was tried under past republican administrations like Reagan and Bush and brought the collapse of '08 and almost ended the American form of Political economy. This so called tax plan is a one and one half trillion dollar give away to the now fully fascist Republican party for the people and corporations who buy and sell elected and appointed officials like a kid in a candy store. Like Jimmy Carter said this Government has become an oligarchy of unlimited political bribery. This tax scam could make the financial collapse of 2008 look like a walk in the park.

The Audacity of Hypocrisy.



So you desire the support of the Berners, Claire McCaskill, do this and we can talk. First there must be an admission that the primary was stolen from the Berners and from Senator Sanders in 2016 by the DNC and their agents.  California primary and the Nevada caucus among others  and outright removal of whole precincts from the voting rolls  , were vast disasters to our republic, C-span would be a good place to start since the regular media will not want to talk about this. Real Honesty and moral principles. Maybe the fixing of the primary was not such a good Idea.
Second you must come out in front of congress and start the discussion about the Voter disenfranchisement disaster that stole the general election ...the  Kris W. Kobach Interstate Crosscheck program that removed millions of legally registered voters from the rolls, under the guise of voter fraud. Anyone who voted on a provisional ballot almost certainly had their vote stolen or what is called spoiled by  the county clerks or Secretary of states.
Then we can talk about BIG dirty money in elections, both Dem and Republicans. Then we can talk about the support you would like from the Greenie progressives and the Berners for Progress​.
Hillary was just as much of a crook along with much of the DNC in the theft of the 2016 primary election, as the RNC and the Republican insiders are of the theft of the General Election 2016. It is still unlikely that the fraud that Trump says is real will be found. VP Mike Pence was investigated for voter suppression in Indiana.
While the DNC likes to play itself off as for the working people, they still are mostly corporate Dems who are beholden to big money. The DNC considered Bernie unelectable while the people and the progressive movements loved him.

Now the most dangerous team of Republican crooks in recent history along with President Lying Donald are running (DC) the district of criminals. And they are one of the Richest, and most beholden to Wall street and banking interests.

The Republicans scream about States rights,The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) stating that the federal government possesses only those powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution. All remaining powers are reserved for the states or the people. But the republicans are working on forcing there agenda on the states. Immigration is Federal under article 1 section 8 clause 4 of the US Constitution. It is up to the Feds and congress to regulate immigration. Not up to the states to enforce, and definitely not the Cities to do this. There is no authority for the federal judiciary to redefine the meaning of words, like in the Citizens United  case; when money was defined as a form of free speech! There is no authority in the constitution for the federal government to force the cities or the states to do the jobs that are the responsibility of Congress to regulate. Nor is there authority to coerce local governments with threats, or by withholding funding.
Similar problems of so called states rights on issues like minimum wages, pollution control, coal mining or toxic waste, and Clean water or air.  

The Republicans Refused to have a vote on Merrick Garland , but now insist that Neil Gorsuch as Supreme Court justice must be voted on as soon as possible.
His past decision are terrible. Mostly against workers and regular people and in favor of corporations and banks. See his decision about the Hobby Lobby case for example.

The Republicans cry foul about being spied on for their corruption during the election or even before, but now they have passed legislation to sell your whole internet history.  No respect for the Fourth amendment. No respect for privacy unless it is theirs.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Tom Price is an American physician and Republican politician who is currently the newest  United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. A privatization advocate who says he thinks the for profit health industry can do health care for the people best. It is obvious that it is best for the profits of  Tom Price.

Scott Pruitt is now head of the EPA, who only a couple months ago said carbon emissions are not "a primary contributor" to global warming. Why would this guy be put in charge of the EPA after he sued the EPA 14 times. Maybe to protect his big money donors that do the polluting?

Audacity
noun, plural audacities.
1.
boldness or daring, especially with confident or arrogant disregard for personal safety, conventional thought, or other restrictions.
2.
effrontery or insolence; shameless boldness:
His questioner's audacity shocked the lecturer.
3.
Usually, audacities. audacious or particularly bold or daring acts or statements.

The BigLieER President Donald Has attacked the EPA, Veterans, and DAPL and Keystone XXL are back on!!!

The first week  in office the President has come out Full scale against "We the People",  some of the best  of the government programs, and the Media.  If the Five Million (Women's March) people on the streets of America and the World were not enough of a Message it is time for the People in the District of Criminals to wake up. Today the  book 1984 is the surprise Best Seller. A trillion dollar a year government with no moral compass. How about Just a reasonable amount of common sense.
 
The attack on Vets, The attack and gag order on the EPA. An attack on free speech and the media and the free flow of real information. Attacks on immigrants and DACA. How soon will the next and upcoming attack on Net Neutrality be. In spite of Climate Reality, which the CIA and the Military intelligence say is the most dangerous threat to the planet and all life,  Is it time for some alternative facts. Ok  how about the arctic Methane problem. This is what could be the next extinction level event If this insanity is not stopped.

Be sure too Join or support the National Popular Vote movement, and help do away with the Electoral collage before the next election.

There are many other places to get News besides Faux Newz the fairly unbalanced gang. For those folks who voted for the trump clan and the Demopublicans who do not get it yet; here are some other places to get a different point of view and maybe some perspective on the potential biggest disaster at hand in a now proto Fascist white-house gang. This looks like it could be the BIGGEST mistake ever in the USA. Enough with the BigLieER stuff.
End this insanity.
This time it is for all the Marbles .  We are playing a real and for keeps change for the Better.

Like to be the President for all the People! Why Build a wall? Be a Hero and do this.

Brilliant Campaign. Tactics and  and strategy. Ran like a Democrat to beat the Republicans and then picked up some of Bernie to beat Hillary; and then throw in a little Richard Nixon on the side.

I will start by apologizing tor calling you Duh Donald and Lying Donald and orange pumpkin man. It was almost Halloween.
In your Victory speech I heard:
It’s time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans.
 This is great. I hope I am surprised by how good of a President you will be for the people of all of America.   What about all of north America and South America also, and for the whole world for that matter.

I was from New Mexico in the day of Ronnie Reagan and Bill Clinton. I saw what the Free Trade Zone did and the  the reality behind the free trade zones: the mexican maquiladoras.

I saw many a great American company leave New Mexico. There was Levi Strauss, Farah slack, Motorola, and Intel micro chips, and many other.   Also privatization of what was research and development by the Government at Sandia Laboratory and Los Alamos. All of these destroyed what was a very good economy in the Southwest at that time. I also saw the re-do of the immigration laws of the Reagan Administration days that hurt the agriculture industry in south New Mexico. The end of Day labor that came from El Paso every day and went home to the Mexican side of the border each night. A wall will not stop the devastation of the economy in Mexico or in the United States. Getting rid of NAFTA will be a good start. People come here from Mexico because of a lack of Opportunity. A wall might help a little, but walls like locks are to keep honest people honest. There is always another way to get around or under a wall.

Returning to the type of Control of the Commerce by congress as described in the Constitution in Article 1 sec 8 will help restore a healthy economy to the U.S. Also the Methods of the very common sense work of  Alexander Hamilton Report on Manufactures.
 Also a comment from Thom Hartmann.  on Alexander-Hamilton.

Even if it is decided to go ahead with a wall, consider doing this water and energy project as well. I noticed that your daughter came out in support of the Idea of getting serious about dealing with the issue of climate change.  The Military and the Intelligence people in our Government do consider climate among the most important issues to be dealt with from a security stand point. This Project can create tens of thousands of engineering jobs and Millions of other jobs while saving the biosphere. We are all in this together. With all Due Respect to our soon to be President Trump.

Some one asked, "How can we Transition to a Green Economy without Causing a Recession?"

  1. Gradual Subsidy Phase-Out for Fossil Fuels and Agribusiness Year 1–3 : Begin by identifying all direct and indirect subsidies to ...
