HR 5741 sponsored by Charles Rangel makes him seem like a socialist for the following reasons. One Selective Services Act already covers drafts that is why every American male 18-26 has to register.  Two this law bypasses any requirement to enact it, bypasses Congress, bypasses any requirement to pay people for their services, and out right gives the President the right to extend your service based on if he deems it necessary. Be afraid of your politicians most are corrupt to the core.    </content>

Rangel, you are an idiotic retard who's selling the freedoms of Americans to the highest bidder. You push to have us all suckle the dried dead American teat! I am not, nor will I ever, support SLAVERY, you swine! 

HR 5741 is fully AGAINST Amendment 13 of the United States Constitution. Didn't you swear to defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic?

You will fail in this, We The People are not cattle, the Spirit of Freedom is awake and Lady Liberty shall be beat upon no more, you sorry excuse for an American!

By the way, I know it's you uppercrust elite bankers who are behind all of this. Selling America out from under us. 

American Revolution 2.0, I am sure you are asking for it.

This man is a tax cheat and was on the tax board, so there are no excuses!
it is time to fire federal workers whom do not pay there taxes.
He still gets to vote, even though he stepped down from the committee!
This government is so corrupt, we need to vote them all out! They are not representing the people whom voted them in. They are so arrogant!

In 1787 a group of men descended upon Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to draft the document that would become the Constitution of the United States. These gentlemen embarked on a mission to create a form of government that would provide for the national defense, protect civil rights and to facilitate interstate trade. According to history, they did not envision the government of the United States as it is today -- a mega sized bureaucratic organization set forth to level the playing field for all citizens.  In truth, it was not their intent to create a government solely for the people, but a government of, by and for the people.

Mr Rangel, You and all mebers of Congress re a disgrace to the office you hold and to this great nation that you falsely represent. It's time for you to go......

Sincerely,
Charles Powell

SHARON L. COOPER-LYONS 209  E.  5TH ST. MACON, MO  
THE ISSUE COMES DOWN TO:  OBAMA MAY NOT BE PERFECT. NONE OF US ARE.  NEITHER YOU OR HILLARY CLINTON.  CLINTON HAS WAY MORE DIRT TO DIG UP.  BUT, IT'S A FACT THAT WE NEED TO STEP FORWARD AND CHANGE OUR WAYS.  TEACH THESE YOUNG PEOPLE GOOD ETHICAL SKILL TO PROTECT THEM.  OBAMA IS STEPPING FORWARD TRYING TO MAKE A CHANGE.  HE IS TRYING TO BECOME AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW.  WE MUST ALL TAKE THAT FIRST STEP. THAT IS WHAT CHANGE MEANS.   ARE YOU GOING TO TURN YOUR BACK ON THAT?  THERE ARE PLENTY OF REASONS TO CHANGE YOUR SUPPORT.  IT'S HAS TO DO WITH THE UNETHICAL WAYS CLINTON HAS SHOWN.

TO:  NEWS MEDIA,  SENATORS, REP  ESPECIALLY THE DEMOCRATS

WHAT DOES IT TAKE, TO FIND DESENCY?
TEACHING WELL REASONING SKILLS
We are watching some our  of our Demo legislators  show the worst ethics, pure untelligence,  and right out stupidy.   If the democratice party does not put Hillary Clinton in her place,  and allow her to keep creating chaos,  like G. Bush, and refusing to obey laws and rules,  the Republicans are going to have a field day.  Especially if she cheats her way to the nomination.   How stupid can you be?  She is siding with the Republicans right now.   The Republicans helped her in Texas.  You probably can&#8217;t figure that out.  Why, because you are not on the job.   You must not know what has been flashing on the news.  If you did,  this would come to a stop.  You are suppose to be law makers.  You are suppose to understand laws and procedures.  You will be looked at as incompetent and neglecting your people.  You will be looked at as people who make laws and don&#8217;t abide by them.  You will be looked at as people who make big blunders and turn to the American people to pay for it.  Who does this sound like?  George Bush.

Hillary is now on TV saying,  McCain and her are the only ones that can bring experience into this campaign.  Obama only has a speech.  She is not very bright.  She is siding with the Republicans, to help knockObama out.  They will turn and use these things on her and tear her apart.  Let&#8217;s see what they can say:
She tried to discredit Obama for campaign money ect.  But she  hasn&#8217;t turned in her tax returns.  They will find out why and where her money came from.
 The Dems let her get away withit,  against the candidate that abided by the rules.  She had to return illegal campaign money by a man on trial.  It is OK for her, but not Obama.  Double standards.
McCain is an honorable man.  He&#8217;s playing by the rules.  They have their nerve attacking Bush for not abiding by the law .  Changing the rules as they go.
The Dems allowed her to take delegates totally unfair to Obama.  They will play the racial card.  Do Blacks unfair.  She was always saying, Obama just had a speech.  Not recognizing his accomplishments.  He is unequal in her eyes.  She is not fair.  This will cause them to capture Black votes.  That is what they are after.  
The Republican Governor in Florida is trying to side with her,  so they can attack her in the end.  Especially, if it cost millions to run another primary.  Fiscal responsibility.   Millions spent to have her way.  That will distract from the Governor&#8217;s blunder by signing away their delegates.  
The governor in Michigan.  Her state is in chaos over corruption and debt, and no jobs.  But they will use millions to satisfy H. C. instead of  using the time and money to help her state.   Or, if they seat the delegates,  not acknowledging the posible Black vote,  there will be racial tention.  
Then they may address Bill Clinton and his many affairs.  Do you want this man back in the White House.
Parents teach their children,  if you play dirty,  it will come back on you in the end. 
The biggest statement that will be made, is a woman can&#8217;t get to be President,  unless she cheats,  lies, and steals.   Clinton didn&#8217;t have the substance after all.  She caused chaos in her own party.  They didn&#8217;t know how to handle her.  Do you really want more Dems in Washington?
THE BLACK LEGISLATORS THAT ARE SITTING BACK AND WATCHING AND LETTING HER DO THIS, TO A MAN WHO IS TRYING TO  CHANGE AND RUN A RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGN, IS GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME EXPLAINING THIS TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE.  H.C. HAS A CLOSET FULL OF DIRT, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO LET HER ATTACK OBAMA.  THEY NEED TO GET SOME DIGNITY.  THEY CRY FOR EQUALITY, BUT TO SCARED TO STAND UP FOR IT.




TO:  NEWS MEDIA,  SENATORS,  REP.

I watched Fox News,  on 2-27-08.   The Hannity and Combs show&#8212;  The O Reilly  Show.

I have often heard them say,  they were going to get to the bottom of this issue with Obama being a Muslim  and his ties with L.  Farrakhan.   Then the showing of him in a native attire.   Both Hannity  and  O Reilly have claimed to be Conservative Republicans and Christians.   I  would like,  for the Republican party to look at what represents them.   Including this Bill  Cunningham.   They need to see,  what Conservative Republicans do to others and still call themselves Americans.  It will also show their extreme ignorance.   I cried as others.   I never thought I would see this acceptance of racism,  freely displayed in the media in this country.  In a media that is paid by the very victims to this racism.    If we do not understand why the world has rejected us,  remember our news media is shown all over the world.   The mocking of cultures,  is viewed,  by these very cultures in the world.   It is insulting to them.   This is why hate,  brings ignorance upon those who display it.   

I want to point out something first.  I watched Obama deliver a speech today&#8212;  2-29-08 on CNN.  I cried.  I haven&#8217;t seen anyone,  stand before people and deliver a speech with so much intelligence,  dignity,  and a striking image of a president of a powerful,  free, God abiding country in decades.  He has been attacked,  with so much injustice,  yet stands with class despite of it.   

Our own president,  is attacking Obama,  which shows low class.  He has the right to uplift his party&#8217;s candidate,  but,  it is improper to the American people,  to down another candidate.   He should understand,  the people have the right to choose their next president, and Bush should respect that.   That is a Democracy.   His so called rule is will be over.   He has no right to try and continue his rule by continuing to dictate who takes his place.   That is a dictatorship.    The Republicans are always demanding an apology,  it&#8217;s time they start apologizing to the American people.  But,  again,  this is viewed all over the world.

Let me address the Fox News folly.   I will add pieces of script later.  If these commentators want to continue with this destruction of Obama,  maybe we need to show them,  others do have intelligence to prove what they are doing.   The Conservative Republicans can be proud of their racist image.   If they want to make a big deal about being a Muslim,  and why no one wants one as president of the U. S.   We can&#8217;t have a Muslim president of  U.S.  Democracy.   Then they need to answer this question.   Why in the world,  would they want to drop themselves,  right in the middle of a Muslim area of the world,  and say we want a democracy for these people?  A democracy full of and ran by Muslims.  But,  over here in the U.S.  It&#8217;s a major disaster for a Muslim to be THE PRESIDENT.   MAYBE IT HAS TO DO WITH SEPARATE BUT EQUAL.  AFTER ALL,  THE SEPARATION OF THE IRAQI PEOPLE INTO THREE ETHNIC GROUPS, IS WHY THE VIOLENCE IS DOWN.

Dear Fellow Americans: 
&gt;NOTE:&lt;  IF you agree with this effort, forward this email.  BUT if you do NOT agree, just smile and delete.
 
This is NO attempt to influence your vote and NO.... I have NOT been approached or solicited or asked or paid or anything....to &quot;launch this letter&quot;. I am reminded that when Americans fail to speak out against what they perceive as bad politics and bad policies, we ALL loose. 
 
I have always been a taxpaying and voting citizen. My first vote was for John F. Kennedy. I have felt great disdain for African Americans who vigorously support the Republican Party. When the Clinton's were being attacked by Ken Star and were subjected to the dirty tactics of a smear campaign by the Republican Party, even 'tho personal misbehavior invited that, I wrote letters of support to the Clinton's and, on their behalf, to numerous politicians and to church leaders across this nation.
 
In my opinion, this 2008 Presidential  political contest is NOT so much about race or/and gender, as it is about POWER. But it MUST also be won ethically and fairly. As it appears to me, BOTH the Clinton's are making a strong case to validate the belief that the abused, once gaining power, may become the abuser.
 
Speaking for myself only, I am grateful that when there was a call for the bus boycott in Montgomery, AL, that NOT one African American Minister called for support of continued segregated busses. Every &quot;chance&quot; to support a candidate is NOT the same thing as an opportunity to promote the GOOD of the people. To express my concern about their actions, I have personally contacted certain community leaders via web addresses, who have been motivated to step forward with unnecessary and untimely &quot;ENDORSEMENTS&quot; or/and divisive debasing comments.OH! What would Adam Clayton Powell think now?
 
~~~ PLEASE help God BLESS America~~~  It IS our responsibility to step IN here. The media, while we NEED them for information, IS also fanning the flames of a fire that has the potential to become big and dangerous. I hope to have as many people as possible call the Clinton Headquarters; numbers listed below. I have called.Tell them: 
1. Tell any one who answers the phone that you want to see an end to the negative campaigning
2. That you are a private citizen who does NOT like the personal attacks and distortion of the record
3. That you WILL withdraw support and WILL campaign against ANY candidate who initiates and maliciously  perpetrates &quot;personal&quot; and cheap attacks
4. That we Americans want POSITIVE campaigning on THE ISSUES from a leader who seeks to unify, NOT just win  .............OR....... say whatever YOU choose, but DO call to say something that may help foster a more civil campaign
 
Thanks, Janet

God made every color,  we are all equal in His eye.
So, how can man choose one color, and explain to God,  why?

Color becomes a race, an unusual word to use.
A race starts out, all as equal, but someone has to lose.

We have our reasons to hate another, race is the claim.
But, can we really, find the words,  why, color is the blame?       BY SHARON  L.  COOPER-LYONS


Hope is the driving force that enables believers to achieve their dreams.

Hope is the driving force, that causes believers to make the necessary changes to create a better world.   

There have been questions asked by many of our older Black Americans.  Can Obama do anything for Blacks as a president.  They all feel that the Clintons have done a lot.  I have an answer that should make us all feel excited about a qualified, educated man, that happens to be Black.

&#8220;As long as we feel, that it takes a white person, to achieve the things we deserve as a Black American,  we will always feel in bondage and unequal.&#8221;   God only brings around,  special people, every so many years.  O bama,  is the character that Dr. M.L.K. talked about in his dream.   The fact that he is a young man,  has nothing to do with his ability or achievements.  Dr. King was a young man.   The Kennedys were young.  Jesus was young.   I was upset when Andrew Young expressed, he sees Obama in 2012.  Someone needs to tell Mr. Young,  it is about God&#8217;s timing, not his. 


Then I would like to address the comments over Oprah Winfrey choosing Obama over Clinton.  She was accused of picking her race.   I do not think, I would have the nerve, to challenge Oprahs choice.  She is a woman, who is confident as a woman.  She makes excellent choices.  That is why she has done so well.  She has not shown any favoritism toward color.  

One thing  we should learn from this, is to never allow ourselves to feel bad or be intimidated by others, when we choose someone that is Black.  We should never allow anyone to insult our ability, to choose people with ability.

TO NEWS MEDIA,  REP,  SEN.

MUST SEE
THE GREAT DEBATERS
ALL OF CONGRESS NEEDS TO SEE THIS.   IT WILL PUT THEM TO SHAME,  WHEN THEY SEE YOUNG PEOPLE DISPLAY HIGH INTELLIGENCE UNDERSTANDING THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAW.   EXCELLENT REASONING POWER.

After the primaries last night, I listened to the candidates responses.   Hillary Clinton  and  McCain  responses were very disturbing.   The put down of the word HOPE,  with the president&#8217;s response to Obama.  But first,  let&#8217;s deal with uniting the country.   This country was founded under the belief of one God.   The principles of our constitution and laws,  come under the principles of God.   
The separation of church and state,  is a different aspect.    The church has many faiths and different  ways of worship.   This has division.   That is why it is kept separate.    But, the uniting factor is the belief in one God.    We all believe  and come together.   God is the glue that keeps us  together.   This is what the American people want to change back to.   As a believer of God,  we believe scripture.    Hope is found in scripture.   If we believe in God,  we believe in hope.   So those who put this down,   must be looked at carefully.  Especially when they say they are believers.    
SCRIPTURE
ROMANS  5:  1-5

&#8220;Therefore,  having been justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord, Jesus 
Christ,  through Whom also we have access by faith, into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God.  And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulations produces perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character HOPE.  Now HOPE does not DISAPPOINT, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given us.&#8221;

Clinton has said,  she often seeks her spiritual being.   The problem is,  who is this spiritual being that does not know scripture?   She even mocks hope.   As a Christian,  this is an insult.  Hope has been my favorite word in life.   Without hope of a better day, what is there to live for?   McCain made a worst remark about hope.  I guess while he was in  the prison camp,  he never had hope he would be released.    The fact that Clinton keeps saying,  hope won&#8217;t get it,  she must be unable to listen when Obama has firmly stated,  the change will be hard work.  It won&#8217;t be easy.  What is it about those words, she doesn&#8217;t understand? Like Bush, when he stated, all he ever heard Obama say,  was about attacking Pakistan&#8230;&#8230;  We always know Bush doesn&#8217;t hear or can comprehend anything unless it is about attack or bombing.  But, Clinton seems to have a listening problem too.
She has constantly criticized Obama on his answers and then uses those answers later. This does not sound like a leader.

I am a Black woman, with a substantual background to my quest.  Making A Stronghold Of Protection, has many aspects to protecting.  One is to teach our young people,  good listening skills,  reasoning skills,  fairness,  good ethics, as well as winning fairly.  I know what is happening to our country, as well as my fight to remove injustice that has been placed on our young people.  But, it extends further.  We must teach them not to fall, for destructive ways.   Remembering the foolishness of Ben Johnson, and how he eventually failed in his effort to support Hillary Clinton, we are now plaqued with the ignorance of Tavis Smiley.   I must explain first, for those who do not reason well,  what he is doing in New Orleans is good.  But, you cannot succeed with good, by not using intelligence,  understanding, and playing with bad tactics.  His attacks with Sen.  Barak Obama,  was poor ethics and reasoning.  It was destructive to the plight of the Black American.  He has his right to support the person he chooses,  but not by tearing down someone,  deliberately trying to hurt someone with no legitamate reason.  Deception.   He doesn&#8217;t even realize, he demeaned the Black woman.  Ignorance causes destruction.  

1.   People in the media, politics, show business, ect. have heavy schedules.   As pressurous as Obama&#8217;s schedule is,  anyone, with any intelligence, understands that a last minute invitation may not be honored to attend.  Why would Tavis act like a brat?  Doesn&#8217;t he have the fairness of mind to know, he would be breaking a promise to the other engagement?  We know the importance of New Orleans.  We have families relocated to our town.  We had volunteers from here that  helped in New Orleans.  But, I have the fairness to understand the situation.  I hope he has never turned down an engagement, or will never turn down a last minute engagement.  I hope he has never or will never say, well it&#8217;s not fair to my previous commitment.  Surely, he is not two-faced.  It is OK for him, but not anyone else.  Sound familiar?

It wasn&#8217;t reported at first, but I know Obama, from what I&#8217;ve seen with his excellent reasoning, that he offered Michelle.  Let me tell Mr. Tavis, that was demeaning, to Black Women, not to accept her presence.  As if she didn&#8217;t have the qualifications or ability, to understand and report to her husband the facts about the situation.  That was an insult.  As if she was no one and they didn&#8217;t want her.  That was rude and dispicable.  He owes her a big national apology.  The young people are watching.  Hillary Clinton claims part of her experience, was being a president&#8217;s wife.  She is capable,  but not Michelle Obama.  See how ignorance make people look stupid?  It is OK to choose and support Clinton, but not by unjustly, attacks to destroy the other.  Clinton can&#8217;t seem to learn that.  She is failing because of it.  Join her in her ignorance.
Where is the intelligence to understand, you cannot help someone, until they can get in a position to help.  That is what Obama is trying to do.  Andrew Young has shown his ignorance.  Join him.  He talked about age and  maturity.  He   didn&#8217;t  show any maturity in the way he mocked and talked about Obama.   Look at how old he is.   Maybe that is why we don&#8217;t hear much about him.  If they were so educated and capable,  why are we having these problems?
