Government - October 2007

I'm asking about any US President from George Washington to Bill Clinton having authorized the use of torture while they were President. If you can point to some definitive link I'd appreciate it.

National ID Cards are supposed to be in effect nationally May 11 2008, they will contain all your financial, medical, criminal, birth, information. It will replace all previous drivers licenses, and state ID cards. If you want to go to the doctor, you will have to have this card, if you need to buy groceries you will have to have this card. You will be made to carry it where ever you go, and use it for everything from paying your rent to buying a soda. They plan to take our wonderful country of USA and turn it into the NAU by connecting the US, Mexico, and Canada. We will combine all military and financial means. They will do away with the dollar, it will be the Amero. The Trans Texas Corridor will contect Mexico to Canada by running through the midwest on I35 (which by the way is already owned by Mexico), and it then will be patrolled by mexican troops. Directive 51, in the event of another attack, or financial crash,or natural disaster (Katrina); bush will stay president 4ever.http://youtube.com/watch?v=mMs733gFg-I

Are we too eager to swallow the information given to us by our government?

Considering the number of scandals and illegal activity in the history of our government, Should the citizens of the United States have more of a say and be able to hold our elected officials accountable for what they say or do?

How about a "Peoples Accountability Court" and have only volunteers from all walks of life to investigate and hold trials to keep our government in line? What do you think of that?

The electoral system is designed so that a person from EITHER party can be elected President even if they did not win the popular vote.

Here's how it works...

The Electoral College votes the way their state voted in total. In fact, multiple electorates are selected from the state in various areas. This gives each states people the chance to have an equal say in who becomes leader of all 50 states.

Otherwise half of the population would control the other half. Our country is not built on majority rule or half of the population controlling the other half.

It is built on equality and fairness of the states and their people. The President has a great deal of federal power and this is checked by the right of the states, via the Electoral College, to select who will be this person.

The next time you question this method, pick up a F****in history book and education yourself on federalism vs. democracy vs. republics.
