This is insidious. It is their gand scheme to hold onto political power. If they can game elections, they can win every time.

People need to know what is going on.

@Rich, "I" can not express the sheer joy "I" felt listening to Shepart SmIth begining his daily pRogram on Fox today like he was doing a follow up of these teaching moments on rachel's program last night...

he used why the 14 amendment came into being and, why it came into to being to use tax monies to pay for debts aquired in the Civil War as proofs taht our nation is going to PAY ITS DEBTS...

Rich, "I" see this form of education of a president's determine to make our Constitution the law of the land dispite those who worshhip at the alter of greed will still in the end take away our AAA credit so they can continue to make record setting earnings every 3 months...

BUT, THE RESULTING EDUCATION WILL BE LONG TERM WIN, WINS FOR MAIN STREET AS WE CONTINUE TO REALIZE JUST HOW MANY RIGHTS GRANTED BY GOD AND MAN BY WAY OF CIVIL AND MORAL RIGHTS WE HAVE ALLOWED TO BE TAKEN OVER THE YEARS...

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER IS HOW I LOOK AT IT AND AS I SEE THE STOCK MARKET CRASHING SO GAS PRICES CAN GET BACK OUT OF CONTROL ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NUP / SMILE)

Rich, the things that are hopefully going to caue main street to stand up and take notice are going to be the things they actually have been voting for. example, we just voted into a better position for the right-wingers to over turn many more laws that were put in place as a safty net for the average American citizen...rachel warned us about what was being done to put the FAA out of business enorder to get rid of unions..."I" was shocked to hear the follow up on this about this also gets rid of the agency taht make sure our planes are safe...any connections to bad, cheap materials put on our air planes causing many of these fatal plane crashes...at least the Bush administration just said we could not afford inspectore sto make sure our children's toys and th efoods we by...he did not try to get rid of the safery agencies to boot...

but, this educations being forced on the public will soon pay off in more ways than being worried about our future votes as we learn more and more about what we have voted for that goes against our own interest...these next two years will be used to educate!!!educate!!!educate!!! on why we pay taxes but have no schools or teachers if we had schools not falling apart from the roof down and not just talking about gangs in our schools or evn cheating on test but just sitting in ones seat in these buildings can bey a health trueat to our children. (smile)

God how "I" love my country right now.lol (smile)
