The federal constitution isn't functioning correctly (in the small government way it was intended) because most stopped reading, abiding by and following the detailed instructions found in their state constitutions.
When states started turning to the federal government to take care of state...
I wish he'd worded that better... to moral and/or religious.
Because one can be very moral and not be religious, so to speak.
All John Adams was trying to do was to create a government based upon, at the very least, a sacred pledge to this foundation of morality:
don't lie, cheat or steal...
Obama stated on his Iraq policy portion of his website that he plans to leave tens of thousands of transitional troops (and US dollars) in Iraq for years to come, and 'privately hired' (on US tax dollars) assistance would be utilized - not really much different than McCain's platform, really...
that's pretty nice of him, considering he voted for warrantless spying on USA citizens with his FISA vote -
and voted for the bailout - extremely unconstitutional.

This is the declaration that website wants kids to sign...
you post is absolutely positive and inspiring - my only concern is the Obama administration (if he wins) and those that follow him are going to blame these Bush/Republican years on 'why nothing worked' in their terms in office - and I think the kids in that video will believe it. Interesting...
if you counter it, mention how the Democrats have had the control to stop all of the spiraling debt they lament about in that video - the Democrats were voted in to end the war, they campaigned to get elected on that issue a few years back and won overwhelmingly - then they voted for the surge...
Rethink it for the local vote, which is far more important than voting for the president is - write in Ron Paul if none of the 3rd party candidates are what you want in a party or candidate, and then vote for the local folks the NHLA gives high ratings to, because that will count, and a lot of...
