Make an impression on any arrogant, lifetime politician

Every state constitution I have checked does basically state that all political power is vested in the people. Also, the right of recall of any elected official is reserved to the voters.

This is an excerpt of the Louisiana Election Code which states in Article 1300.1: "Any public officer, excepting judges of the courts of record, may be recalled in accordance with the provisions ofbelieve, once started, and politicians are forced to come out of their fortress walls to answer for their actions face to face with the public, a recall petition could be successful.

In the early 1990s a petition drive to limit the terms of politicians to two terms, started small, grew to other states, and on the final count voters in 24 states got it on the election ballot, and the voters approved it.

Dear Patriot,
 
Your web site is a wonderful source of information, and I have done what I can to join in on your efforts many times - - with only disappointing results.

By now it is obvious calling anyone in Congress will influence only a very few, the majority are on a crash course that only God almighty can stop.
Ho decades is the only recourse to solve a very serious problem, you, I and many other loyal Americans are concerned about. Win or lose, when a RECALL PETITION is started the politician concerned will take serious notice, and it will catch his or her attention, where a million letters or phone calls have failed.

My contacts with our so-called representatives in Congress have only gained delayed answers that tell me that what I have to say is not going to influence anyone in office. I pray these young people starting the RECALL PETITION here get it underway quickly. You would be more confident of results if you can spread the word that each state constitution gives the voters the power to start a RECALL PETITION - - and to get one started immediately.

God Bless you and all the other Americans that have worked so hard to save and keep the country the founding Fathers blessed us with.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Both sides are, of course, wrong. This war didn't start with 9/11 and it won't end with Iraq. Imperial America is plodding through yet another decade of perpetual world war. That it is at the moment, by warfare's historical standards, of relatively low intensity, is deceptive. As long as we allow it to continue to escalate, sooner or later it will get a whole lot of us killed. At any moment, it could flare up right in your own families' laps. But from where will the fatal blow strike? One never knows.

Our rulers have made enemies across the entire globe. North Korea has not yet beaten it's Taepo Dong 2 fleet into plough shares. Nor, having seen what happened to a disarmed Iraq, would they likely feel it wise to do so. That, as we have been reassured, they could "only" hit the West Coast is scant consolation for we who live in San Francisco. And while all eyes fix on the Middle East, U.S. involvement in the four-decade-old, three-way civil war in Colombia deepens daily. If you tof the third world, democracy at home is gasping for breath. Some would say it is already locked in its death throes. A case can be made that it's already dead. Basic freedoms that every American once took for granted have become, at best, fading, cherished memories.

The purportedly paranoid ravings of '60s-era leftist doomsayers had already become the commonplace reality of the '90s. Then came 9/11, an event so cloaked in mystery that even the official version of what really happened is a conspiracy theory.. Conspiracy or not, it was certainly convenient. The forces of repression, never been far behind the scenes, found themselves unleashed with a speed and fury the world has not seen since right after the Reichstag fire.

Ed Meese, J. Edgar Hoover, and A. Mitchell Palmer all put together never had the power that John Ashcroft has today, nor had they the perceived excuse to wield it. Compared to the stark reality of war on the home front, warnings we once dismissed as histrionic hyperbole now se
