Can somebody please tell me what the purposes or duties of each: Senators; congressmen; mayors; governors. And also, from the highest position to the lowest ( president to vice president to . . .) How do they all rank from one another?

to make a stand because of the ratifications it may create, would you follow through with it if you had America's population of 301,972,612 people supporting you? Example, what if you wanted your government and state governments to deal mainly with what concerns you the most as an American issues like poverty, rebuilding run down communities due to gangs and crime, rising health care, eduaction, and last but not least, natural resources. As a whole, the American people are capable of anything, but why can't we get the word out as a whole that something needs to be done to save people from losing hope in our future. What are some ways to improve our country as a whole regardless of the ratifications, arent we already caught in several situations we did not create?

They said they wanted to stop the war,they have the votes to pass a bill to do just that,but won't do it because the President will veto it? That is what is commonly referred to as cowardice, so they won't stand and be counted,they are cowards just admit it instead of offering excuses.

"The era of tax-free e-mail, Internet shopping and broadband connections could end this fall, if recent proposals in the U.S. Congress prove successful.

State and local governments resumed a push to lobby Congress for far-reaching changes on two different fronts: gaining the ability to impose sales taxes on Net shopping, and being able to levy new monthly taxes on DSL and other connections. One senator is even predicting taxes on e-mail.

At the moment, states and municipalities are frequently barred by federal law from collecting both access and sales taxes. But they're hoping that their new lobbying effort, coordinated by groups including the National Governors Association, will pay off by permitting them to collect billions of dollars in new revenue by next year."

Bush Pens Dictatorship Directive, Few Notice

by Kurt Nimmo



Global Research, May 30, 2007
Another Day in the Empire


It is hardly surprising not a single corporate newspaper reported the death of the Constitution. Go to Google News and type in "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" and hit enter. Google returns ten paltry results, not one from the New York Times, the Washington Post, or related corporate media source. Google Trends rates the story as "mild," that is to say it warrants nary a blip on the news radar screen. Of course, another death blow to the Constitution, already long on life support, is hardly news. Few understand we now live in a dictatorship, or maybe it should be called a decidership.

"The Bush administration has released a directive called the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive. The directive released on May 9th, 2007 has gone almost unnoticed by the mainstream and alternative media. This is understandable considering the huge Ron Paul and immigration news but this story is equally as huge. In this directive, Bush declares that in the event of a 'Catastrophic Emergency' the President will be entrusted with leading the activities to ensure constitutional government. The language in this directive would in effect make the President a dictator in the case of such an emergency," writes Lee Rogers for Global Research. "The language written in the directive is disturbing because it doesn't say that the President will work with the other branches of government equally to ensure a constitutional government is protected. It says clearly that there will be a cooperative effort among the three branches that will be coordinated by the President. If the President is coordinating these efforts it effectively puts him in charge of every branch. The language in the directive is entirely Orwellian in nature making it seem that it is a cooperative effort between all three branches but than it says that the President is in charge of the cooperative effort."

In short, Bush may now declare himself absolute ruler at any moment and Congress can like it or lump it. Naturally, this act of betrayal is of so little importance and consequence, the corporate media believes you are better served knowing Justin Timberlake is in love.

"This directive on its face is unconstitutional because each branch of government the executive, legislative and judicial are supposed to be equal in power," Lee continues. "By putting the President in charge of coordinating such an effort to ensure constitutional government over all three branches is effectively making the President a dictator allowing him to tell all branches of government what to do."

With the increase in our loss of civil liberties and the government constently expanding, when will the breaking point be reached, when the people of this land stand up and say I'm tired of decisions being made without my knowledge. Congressmen and women abuse their power with no regrets and no loyalty to the people that put them there. They lie, cheat, steal and do it with a smile on their face.

I've studied presidents of the 20th century a good deal and it is obvious that up until watergate, Nixon had proved to be one of the better presidents of the century. Why is it that democrats like to write him off as a terrible president when in fact he was far better then most of the democrat presidents of the century, especially Carter.

Under Nixon.. detente with Soviet Union. opening of relations with China, replaced US troops in Vietnam with Vietnamese troops (thus withdrawing the US from Vietnam), and dmoestically he was considered a centrist and at times even more liberal, and was re-elected in the biggest landslide victory in US history.

Any info would be great, thanx :)
