When will "we" (the people of America) wake up and take control of our country again?

Question

Since the days of Andrew Jackson, the United States has been run by an unseen group of financiers that have systematically jackbooted our civil liberties and have taken control over the Democratic and Republican parties, our Presidents are puppets and under the control of CFR and the like. We need to find a way to make America function outside of this dangerous group. Sooner or later there will be a breaking point and it will be not only a new American Revolution, but an internal WWIII, a worldwide Civil War to break free from the grasp of this New World Order that has been raping , murdering and stealing from us for many years. President John F. Kennedy warned about this and look what happened to him.

regerugged...let me guess, you are either currently in the 7th grade or you quit school in the 7th grade.

Ash, sorry but you believe everything the gov't and CNN tells you. You seem intelligent, so you should really read up on the history of American gov't over the last 120 years and the current issues, what is said, by whom and what. If people just stop pretending to understand and really learn what Bush and other politicians are saying and doing, you will see. You live in an illusion my dear. Criss Cross...don't do drugs bro, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

HereToHelp...no it started even back in Jackson's time. Most thought it was with FDR allowing pearl Harbor to happen, released records and recordings prove that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor, well in advance of the attack. It was the same exact thing with 911..an excuse by our leaders to sacrifice innocents to enter into a war, just as LBJ tried to do with a backdoor deal with Israel by having his own American ship "The Liberty" attacked in 1967 to blame it on Israels enemy as to get the American people pissed off and wanting revenge, therefore giving him an excuse to enter a war on behalf of Israel, but his fiasco failed thanks to a Russian ship that happened along and chased the Israel attackers away, because the Russian ship witnessed the attack. Read about the facts on The Liberty.

Answer 1

if people stop believing corporate media news stations. if mike gravel ends up in office we will take a huge step forward. he wants to make it illegal for businesses to finance politicians. eliminate the IRS and all of the secret tax write offs that are in the tax code. declassify all information that is secret for no reason. enable the people to vote directly on laws which will dilute the representative's power to make decisions their special interests groups tell them to make.

There are a total of 3 honest politicians currently running in the 2 main parties.


In democrat you have:
Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich

In republican you have:
Ron Paul.

-Kucinich is decent but I think he isn’t assertive enough.

-Paul has an awesome grasp on the reality of what government policies are useless and corrupt but I get the impression that he wants to wipe out the government totally. He is a constitutionalist and wants the federal government to only have say in laws described in the constitution and nothing else.

-Mike Gravel is who I am voting for. He is bluntly honest about everything and is a populist and libertarian at the same time all about giving power to the people.

*he wrote the national initiative for democracy (NID). A bill that will give the voting public the ability to vote directly on laws at the federal level. Look at how useless our national representatives have become. Republicans won’t end the war so we flip democrats into office and once they get there they say oops we changed our minds we also want to drag out the war. http://www.nationalinitiative.us/

*he recently wrote "UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES
WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ ACT" which would make it a felony for the president to continue the war in Iraq if he refused to bring home the troops. It would pass quite easily if done in the way he outlines and if after that the president refused to follow the law he would commit a felony and be automatically impeached by his own actions. http://www.gravel2008.us/?q=node/1191 however the other democrats in office choose to ignore this act because they too want to continue the war. 1 they want to draw out the war as a political maneuver to catapult the party into office due to anti-republican sentiment. Look at the "debates" and this is clear. They are trying to direct all the problems of the universe at bush and the republicans in general when they are just as guilty. (Gravel, Paul, & Kucinich are the only ones that would ACTUALLY end the war if elected. the others are full of it)

*HE is the man that ended the draft in Viet Nam.

*he will END the war on drugs. Stop wasting money on an ineffective program ($7.6 billion per year). End the prohibition on marijuana and make the others prescribe-able and treat addiction as a medical problem rather than a criminal problem. The laws do not seem to stop anyone and turn otherwise rational people into criminals. The United States had an estimated 17,500 metric tons of marijuana available in 2001, or 17,500,000 kilos or 17,500,000,000 grams. If we were to place a tax on marijuana, the United States would take in billions every year. For example, a tax of $2 per gram would bring the street price of a 10 gram pack to about $30-$40 depending on the quality. It would also raise $35 billion per year, which could go to help fund public education; just add general revenues to the system, etc.

*he will declassify all government programs designed to hide the truth from us the American public. While in the senate he read the "pentagon papers" into public record thereby revealing much of Richard Nixon’s corruption to the people. Nixon attempted to bring charges against him and it went all the way to the Supreme Court where it was decided that a senator could not be prosecuted for declassifying such records that were essential the integrity of the law. All of the front runners looove secrets.

*eliminate the income tax and the IRS. Instantly eliminate the current 67,204 page tax code, instantly eliminate the $10.2 billion cost to run the IRS, instantly eliminate the $256.1 billion cost in compliance costs currently placed on tax payers, and eliminates the payroll tax. Eliminates increased taxes due to tax evasion, eliminates law breaking due to lack of understanding of the tax code, eliminates wealthy special interests tax exemptions that effectively un-tax anyone that can come up with enough write-offs. Creates new tax revenue from foreign tourists, creates new tax revenue from illegal immigrants who currently pay no taxes. The prebate maintains extra income to families that are registered to receive it, and maintains income to people that are between jobs. See fairtax.org

*place all taxes gained from carbon based fuels into a fund to research carbon free forms of energy.

*end all forms of discrimination in the law regarding LGBT. None of this civil union bullcrap. Civil unions are the modern day version of Jim Crow laws.

*Healthcare in the form of vouchers. People don’t realize that most of our healthcare is already paid by the government in the form of tax write offs your employer gets when they pay for your insurance. Individuals don’t get this option but they do. All of these tax codes are designed to perpetuate the strangling grip insurance has on everyone. Another reason to abolish the IRS and switch to the "Fairfax" people think they need insurance but insurance is the reason no one can afford healthcare. Cutting out insurance will save millions maby more... instead you apply for a voucher to pay for your basic medical needs or serious issues when you have an emergency. Special treatment and cosmetic procedures would be private pay. The others want to just flush more money into insurance companies.

*all of these things combine into an immigration policy far better than any of the current fluff. Illegals cant apply for healthcare vouchers, illegals can no longer avoid paying taxes and cant receive the prebate which puts a strain on them to want to leave but then this might be unnecessary because the Fairfax will make the prices of American produced products much more competitive globally thereby attracting more businesses here and creating a need for more legal workers. He will abolish NAFTA as it exists now to eliminate the way it funnels money into a few corporations and away from workers.

The end, gravel rocks. Gravel + Paul/Kucinich = best possible combination in the white house. All the others are corrupt and liars.

Answer 2

George Washington is an major guy in our historical past however he's nonetheless just one guy. The Founding Fathers noticed the devout persecution in so much of Europe as a truly evil. For that motive they primarily mentioned that during America there need to by no means be a devout scan for political workplace. At the identical time the entire Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. It explicitly states that the nation is established at the precept that there's a Creator and that "All guys are created identical." Clearly, the Founding Fathers as a institution supposed to recognize a Supreme Being.

Answer 3

whoa chillax! I personally don't think the situation is quite as dire as that. We've got a sound system of checks and balances, which, while it doesn't always produce the desired results, has worked better than most other countries'.

However I definitely agree that we suffer from "big" government. This can be traced back to the Depression era; with the collapse of the economy, the government had to involve itself a lot more actively in its citizens' lives. Unfortunately the government hasn't yet withdrawn to its original state. But at the same time, the world is getting smaller every day, and security issues require that the government be nosier than it was a century ago. The world into which the USA was born was a very different one from the one we live in now. Our system suited that world well; recently, parts of that system have had to adapt to suit the changing times. So no, it isn't perfect, and we could all stand for the government to loosen up a little on its law-abiding citizens, but it isn't all bad. That's just my take on things.

Answer 4

When we turn off the TV, put away the video games, start educating ourselves and our children about civic responsibility, stop voting for more govt spending, stop going to the movies, ignore the tabloids, etc.

I don't know if we have the will to do this though.
