By: Travis Patriot There is both a Right-Wing & a Left-Wing Conspiracy to violate the Constitution! The Conspiracy! ???A Right-Wing Conspiracy???? You might ask. Yes there is a right wing conspiracy to violate the supreme law of the land! But not just a Right-Wing Conspiracy! A Left-Wing Conspiracy to violate the Constitution exists as well! Both of the parties of career politicians are loyal to their careers, which are dependent upon their party, & not the Constitution to which they are sworn to uphold! They both conspire to violate the Constitution! Weather it is the State??™s career politicians conspiring to look the other way as the federal career politicians violate the Constitution by trespassing in State??™s Rights issues. Or whether it is the Federal Career Politicians or ???Federalists??? who conspire to violate the constitution as they conspire to look the other way as the State??™s Career Politicians violate the Constitutional rights of minorities with sodomy laws, no alcohol on Sunday, and many other clearly unconstitutional ???Blue Laws???! I don??™t know if segregation was considered a ???Blue Law??? or not but that went on for decades in the south until the feds took action. In some places, segregation still exists today. The Career Politicians are almost all lawyers (familiar with the Supreme Law of the Land) ???The Constitution??? & they willfully & knowingly violate the Constitution if their party requires it! For example, the 2000 election. The Republican majority on the Supreme Court conspired to violate the Constitution by interfering in the Presidential vote count without any Constitutional authority! That??™s the job of the Congress according to the Constitution! All hundreds of members & not just a few Supreme Judges who think that they are above the law of the land! Supreme Felons or the felonious five! The common enemy of these 2 parties, the thing that both limits their power & threatens them by tying their hands, is the Constitution & together they share power & take turns violating the Supreme law of the Land. The Constitution protects ???us the People??? from ???them the government!??? & when they violate it ??“ they become felons. Felons in charge! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Get you ad here for no charge send ad copy to joerayland@myway.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Why Dual Citizenship Can Be a Double-Edged Sword By: Marc J. Lane dual citizenship can't help but water down patriotism. Anti-American combatants John Walker Lindh, the notorious "American Taliban," and Yaser Esam Hamdi, a citizen of both the United States and Saudi Arabia, were captured by U.S. troops in Afghanistan. But neither Mr. Lindh nor Mr. Hamdi will be stripped of his U.S. citizenship, because in 1967 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that citizenship is an inalienable right that can only be lost if it's voluntarily renounced. The number of Americans who are also citizens of other countries is soaring. And the growing prospect of U.S. citizens serving in foreign, even antagonistic, armies and governments, and foreign citizens serving in our own army and government and voting in our elections, raises disturbing questions about loyalty and national identity. Dual citizenship is often an inadvertent consequence of birth: A child of foreigners is born on U.S. soil or a child of a U.S. citizen is born in another country. But, increasingly, citizens of other countries become U.S. citizens by choice. And many immigrants opt to remain nationals of their home countries even as they gain U.S. citizenship, along with the political rights and public benefits it affords them. Immigration advocates don't fret about U.S. citizens' ties to other countries. American identity, they argue, isn't based on ethnicity or culture, but on the twin principles of liberty and self-determination. And they insist that all of us benefit when permanent residents of the U.S. pursue citizenship and deepen their commitment to those American values. Many proponents of dual citizenship seem to buy into the logic. American Jews who want to move freely between the U.S. and Israel, and even vote in both countries, are among them. It was a Jewish naturalized U.S. citizen who moved to Israel and voted in an election there whose case established the constitutional right to retain U.S. citizenship. And since the Supreme Court so ruled, thousands of Americans have served in foreign armies, most of them in the Israeli army, and voted in foreign elections. The globalization movement has also spurred interest in dual citizenship. Beneficiaries of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the European Union are happy to see executives move without effort from one country to another and harvest the rewards of multinational corporate trade. Then there are foreign countries that seek to benefit from the financial and political clout enjoyed by their nationals abroad. They seem unstoppable in their encouragement of expatriates to claim dual citizenship. Mexico, the native land of more foreign-born U.S. residents than any other, is the most blatant example. The Mexican Nationality Law invites former Mexican citizens who have been naturalized in the U.S. --; or elsewhere, for that matter --; to have their Mexican citizenship restored without losing their naturalized citizenship. The Mexican government treats these new American citizens as "bi-nationals" and wants them to vote in both the U.S. and Mexico, while Mexican politicians campaign for their votes and their allegiance. There's no question that dual citizenship can make it easier to travel, work and own property in other countries. But passports aren't credit cards to be collected and used interchangeably whenever it's convenient. Immigrants may sincerely profess their love for both their native and adopted countries, but dual citizenship can't help but water down patriotism. And shared national loyalties, sooner or later, may come into conflict. Congress shouldn't be winking and nodding to new citizens who swear allegiance without meaning it. Instead, it should empower the State Department to revoke one's citizenship when his loyalty to another country can be proved. To do less undermines our nationhood. ********************************************************************Marc Lane is a business and tax attorney, a Master Registered Financial Planner, a Registered Financial Consultant, and a Certified Investment Specialist.

Ziegler What happened to the days when you voted for candidates because of their ???abilities???, and not because of their party affiliation, or the popularity they enjoy as a result of expensive media exposure? Have you ever noticed that most Government offices are being held by individuals who are independently wealthy, or who enjoy very strong financial support? This applies to all levels of government, whether it be Federal, State or Local. Individuals may be extremely well-qualified, but their name may never be added to a ballot simply because they are virtual unknowns who are financially unable to compete in an arena heavily populated with the rich and famous. Have you ever noticed how many elected officials are either independently wealthy or own their own business? Unfortunately, that doesn??™t make them better qualified than less affluent candidates. Instead of receiving donations and other forms of financial support for ???individual??? candidates, why not place these monetary contributions into a special fund and allocate an ???equal amount of money??? to each candidate ??¦ to be used for promotional purposes. This would give ???all??? candidates an equal opportunity to win. Some type of regulation would need to be implemented to prevent individuals and companies from doing their own promotions for their favorite candidate. This should encourage more highly-qualified people to run for office and it would minimize the amount of favoritism they owe to those who provided financial support. If you like this suggestion spread the word by telling others to read this article ??¦ if enough people show support for it, it can become a reality. Wouldn??™t you rather have someone represent you who shares a comparable lifestyle and who can more fully understand and appreciate your needs and concerns? I would! ********************************************************************Robert M.
