The American's Creed by William T. Page; Clerk of the House; 1917:

"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a Republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots gave their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Propositions 20, 22, 27, No on D v. UT 10.27.10, No on K

'False' and misleading mailers: one from Howard Jarvis' Prop. 13 - there are sneakie members, probably at least rhinos, if not worse, in that org.!  And "California Voter Guide" by a 'non partisan candidates selected independent of party affiliation' ----ya, Right!!  

This game playing via candidates, their-possibly good hearted 'junkers of signs', and campaigning off the reason for "Remember in November" which is becoming more and more important with each passing day> because if Repub. Candidates - all levels - don't acknowledge the first 9/12/08 Mall, the second 8/28/10 Mall, and all the election results - including Joe Miller in AK with all that the Left Socialists have performed against California's future in Sac.; then ignoring the root cause will be slower to correct. 

Interestingly, two things: 1)At the last National Ch. meeting, the person or group that presented the 'questions to ask candidates re viewpoint including Declaration & Constitution' to secure the Republican positions with platform, is glaringly REQUIRED with the new CA and probably many other States leaning toward the other word for Disaster: "Democracy" they like to call the US.* That is actually an easy way to raise a Red Flag for any candidate!
2) Many of the Propositions are illustrations of themselves, of the Progressive side (ie #23:don't repeal, just make our exhaled air a little less prohibitive. NEVER MIND and Do Not Discuss the absent quality & ignored facts of the Science of GW):
Proposition 22 and K here in San Marcos:  22 protects Cities and Counties-BUT does NOT change the slush fund called 'Redevelopment' which is invisible to the bond and taxpaying Citizen of CA. Proposition K is a working example of what will occur with the so-called repairing schools - which must be used for this purpose - Bond.  Ya, right again! Because once in the Redevelopment Slush - no one will know for sure.  SideBar:  Another Reason for No on 22 &K - notice the sponsors!  Now tell me where the funds are going!!!!  Bonds are always Loans Against Future Revenue. Haven't we learned enough Yet!!

Another thing, what Kevin, Carl and every attendee at the Monday, July or Aug meeting of SD City Council, Learned:
JUST HOW IMPORTANT AN INDIVIDUAL'S OPINION OF HIS/HER SERVICE FIRST MEANS; WITH HOW EASY IT IS FOR A UNION TO GOVERN IN PLACE OF THE ELECTED INDIVIDUALS. I sat behind the Union Attorney - tall, handsome guy that could hardly leave the room after the vote which would have 'not allowed Proposition D' come to the public because the use of the money was part of the debate.  Someone should get the  video of the entire event --- even the 2nd vote in which Lori Zaphf's opponent changed Back To Conform To the White-knuckled, jaw bitting, attorney for the Unions---who did say in the Monday disallow vote - that Mayor Sanders & Donna's(?) commercial would be the result!!!  All Candidates and Public Servants with the General Public should see these two events.  They Make up the entire, repeating, world of union administration.  Do you see yesterday's UT?  2nd page - Rt. Column: "Reach an agreement with labor unions on a program to allow private companies to bid against city workers for certain services, and ALLOW(!!!!!) THE CITY TO SEEK BIDS. Completed (As a taxpaying, American Citizen; would love to see the Socialist, fraudulent users of money's idea of ALLOW).

To make it shorter, by the time a Constitutional (both) Conservative gets to #4, steam is reallying boiling; but then we arrive at the infamous #8, which 'compromises Peter to Pay Union Paul' all $$$$$$ on the stock market being run by, just the presence, of "America's Financial Stability Act" which all but removes the individual investor from the market---another tragedy of forgotten importance with time; and adds to the risk of any retirement $$$ becoming anything But revenue neutral. Further, creates what could be another slush fund, if the City uses or borrows the money or its interest --- much like Social Security and all with accountability!!  

The Most Important Question of All:   When is Government (City, County, State, Federal) going to begin to recognize that Unions are Fraudulent with Taxpayer Money? That #4, higher hourly pay, greater retirement than some CEO's make, the ability - like Brown's potential: governor, mayor, AG, Gov with all those retirements funds!!!??? 'We ther People' do Not Compromise or report our business to any Union under any circumstance - they are not elected or even approved by taxpayers!! They're force against  any union member; of conformity of union dues determined by union admin. while writing political commercials for their candidates - who are coincidentally of left, bend socialism at this point, is also a misrepresentation of both person and function of the unions? These candidates act as the same lemmings and rubber stamps as does Obama's lemmings: Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Waxler (Van Nuys)-Waters, and other CA Congressmen-ladies.  And Article IV:2,4, Amendment IX, XIV with CA Article I:7(b) which states 'Citizens of US are citizens of state wherein reside and are entitled to all privileges and immunities of every citizen. Union members and admin. have both privileges and immunities - no one else on the Globe, has with retirement guarantees, amounts, stacking, and hourly wages well beyond anything in the private or other American Citizens.  American Working Citizens have no protection against a too large Federal and State Government, City and County which do not practice accountability and all of whom barrow on a regular basis against the 'future proceeds of all taxpayers regardless of level of wealth'!

Taxpayers are compromised through our city, county, state and federal representatives bowing to fraud of union retirement funds, union non-participation in  'PPAA';  and probably a member of the Commission for 'Financial Stability'!

Proposition 20, even 27, is the very Heart of America expressed in Both the Declaration and the Constitution. It is also the very basis ..or the lack of...all the above.  I think some founders reached out from heaven to put their hand on this glorious idea. It is just like them: An idea designed to promote political interests by the left, a form of Democracy, but prevented & limited, by its own rules:  
             The Citizens Redistricting Commission (www.wedrawthelines.com) will eliminate gerrymandering with an attempt to balance opportunities for vote by 'We the People' according to population as even as possible. This by having an open selection process run by State Auditors Department, citizens be the decision-makers with input by state legislators; & when passed Congressional Districts included. It is suppose to be nonpartisan and balanced as possible.

              In February 2010, days after the selection process started and would have 3200 applicants, my self included; the Speaker of the House of Representatives voiced her opposition by placing a re-worded, old redistricting guidelines, continued by legislators, on the ballot.  Stating Nothing will be accomplished by having citizens do what the legislators do!  Such is her continued opinion of the American People, teaparty or not - republican,democrat, libertarian, independent, green, decline to state! Hopefully, Congressional Rule Breaker, disrespectful, ignorant of history Pelosi is looking at her ending days.

Here is the founder's expression of their "glorious idea":  We Draw The Lines and Legislative Drawing of the Lines share a common American Promise: Service with Integrity because Religion and Morality - God and His Lessons of Man in The Bible are the Way, the Truth, and the Light in all things.  Ideas which emit from lessons; and avoidance of "unintended circumstances'" because of avoiding the previous instances in the lessons of history. Both 20 and 27 abound with the resonance of the founders!  Their idea will be lost on the writers of #27 - because it is a reflection of "My seat is Much More Important than My Service To My Country, the Seat Represents".
     But 'We Draw the Lines" has a genuine Opportunity in Proposition 20: This because the 5 Republicans, 5 Democrats, 4 from other smaller, but representative parties are "We the People"; and include the 3 judges from State Auditors Department with input from any Californian interested in following the process.  This is an example of a Functioning Democracy at its Very Best.*  Nonpartisan, probably not; but a much improved chance for success because the Commission candidates do address their own integrity in applying the principles of Redistricting. To make the founder's contrast clear,  Redistricting Commission also represents the underlying problem of Democracy that the founders attempted to warn US(A) about:  Human Nature, special interest, and the 4th Book of "DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA" by Alexis de Tocqueville: "Of certain peculiar and accidental causes which either lead a people to complete centralization of government, or which divert them from it.."  and "What sort of despotism democratic nations have to fear..".  Not may have to fear, but have to fear!  The safety from this fear lies in each, single individual is 100% responsible for his own respect and belief in God; or whatever he defines as being the Truth of his Actions. No one else exists. It is each person's own Service with Integrity.

*Because of 'the misuse of Democracy at the State and Federal level where the Republic of Representative Government is the leader and Republic is badly misunderstood versus the Redistricting which Is An Example of Good Democracy. Maybe it could serve to make the differences more clear?

Sample private survey questions to answer... and the problem with the goal of questions

With due respect to www.personalliberty.com, the following group of questions will not arrive at the goal of who is responsible for government bailouts...... 1) because the multiple choice questions are not answerable with a single answer from the choices offered; 2) The questions have already been answered by the person(s) who Wrote the Survey! The goal is to fall into a particular category which reflects political party thinking.  3) The survey leaves out salient facts important to the outcome of government involvement. This simple fact has been left out of all media and commentary reports also.  That Fact Is:  Occurring on the Cusp of the 'Bubble' was  Pres. Bush and Treasurer Paulson (Right, Constitutional government) 08/08 to 01/20/09 changing to Socialist/Progressive  or as far in the political continuum left as possible without falling off the bar; and which we have learned over the last year, was a much bigger mistake to the history of Our Nation.  AND 4) because government is formed by "consent of the governed". The point is: then Pres. Bush and Treasurer Paulson would acknowledge that TEMPORARY use of taxpayer resources with as much guarentee of return as possible through TARP and the auto business would have been handled entirely differently than Mr. Obama  and his administration even though they will say they kept the form intact from Mr. Bush and Paulson -- Obama's group did, but only to a point where they stopped to pursue their own ends: Mr. Obama walked into a private American Business to fire a CEO and then left behind non-elected czars to complete Mr. Obama's idea of a business model; Mr. Obama and Treasurer have not returned the TARP's loan returns with interest to the taxpayer. Mr. Obama and Treasurer redirected the TARP bank returns into programs which occurred after being pushed, forced via the Speaker into law and Democrat majority. 


          Mr. Obama also felt he was duplicating the Massachusett's Health Act when his Administration worked-up from 1302 to 1392  the 10 versions of his Health Act because he had the majority vote in 11/4/08.  He  and Congress has,  with 2-4 Senator exceptions,  never admitted to the violations of both the Declaration, the Constitution including the commerce clause in Article 1:8 paragraph 3 and in Ignoring Article V by changing the Constitution without benefit of the 2/3rds vote of the Congress or the States. The point here is also "the greater number" democracy being the underlying governing.  The other use of 'Democracy' is Sen. Schummer stating "The Supreme Court's decision (election reform) is the worse decision made in the history of the United States" -- never mind the decision erased the unwritten Political Action Committee work of SEIU and other unions on Our Politics for One Party Only!


            As Ben Franklin said "We swim together or we sink together.", so ultimately, it is for each individual, regardless of party affilitation to realized that  'The Buck really Stops With Each American's Vote'!  With forgiveness to ourselves for the voter economic panic when oil/gas prices peak with the bubble less than 6 wks. before 11/4/08! None-the-less, the consistent use of ...greater number... in Louisiana Voting and a returning initiative here  in California, will result not in the best candidate only in the most numbers and disregard the huge gap between Constitutional/integrity of individual and simply the greatest number regardless of principle.  


        Republican government defends the laws and basic rights of individuals which prevent acts like the Health Act; invasion of private business in the name of government watchdogs when the dogs make the regulations ruling (Financial Stability Act)  the privacy of the individual a.k.a. business and person.  At the Federal level, the United States of America is a Republic Form of Government with the duty to protect the individual from the power government of the few -- which is exactly who and what is running our Nation from today thru 11/2014; and whom the other Party is celebrating the ability to stop the running through by the Speaker of money Acts in the interest of the Executive Branch; and forcing the Senate to become more aware of the Nation's Republic Form of Government and protection of the individual against 'the power' of a number of voters. The voters for President know know the mistake of his "Change"; and put more importance on protecting Our - We the people's - Constitution for the rights of the individual which means person or business!


        We are a Democracy at the local, to lesser degree at County and State, but never at the Federal level of government. Even with the present 'majority' party in power who believes this country -- not Our Country -- is a Democracy.  Example of local and Democracy: Well known that California is having its budget problems. Instead of thinking routinely taxing whatever is available or increasing taxes, think about using private or volunteer resources:  We have to close many of our State Parks:  If the city or county nearest the park can organize volunteers, often already present in the parks, to perform the maintenance, grounds care, etc. then the parks can be locally maintained including allowing tax breaks for the businesses who contribute machinery and goods to help the parks.  As the State recovers, take another look at how it can share with the cities-counties to assist the costs. The same could happen in City Parks which could divert needed funds back into other city needs.


        With Our Federal Government, remember:  "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.  And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the Grace of God, I will do. Edward Everett Hale, 1829-1909.".  Protect the individual from the Federal Government's natural human nature to move toward power, force, and demand to the extinction of the basic rights of man.  The basic rights of man are those rights given to humans by God and expressed in the Bible.  The basic rights protect our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.


        Keep learning or relearning the Founder's teaching and classical  learning methods from original text's which helped write Our Two Unique In The World Documents.  After Research, question yourself -- Reason -- contemplate how today's education, economy, politics, social philosophical ideas which may become laws or regulations at any level of government and compare-contrast to the Constitution and remember, if the issue is located in the Constitution, it is Also located in the Declaration  -- you can't have one without the other!!   Try Hamilton's Legislative Test.*  


There is much more to American political thinking than this or any survey or poll or commentary can hope to cover because, virtually every idea of Our Founder's with The Declaration and Constitution they gave us, is at stake in the manner this and other polls, counting devices continue to value the greatest number of ...whatever,  and  groups of people decide ideological course ...democracy.   Versus, electing our representatives to maintain the support of and belief in the individual through Both Our Founding Documents...Republic.  A Republic form of government is "where sovereign power is lodged into the hands of representatives elected by the people. The people are indirectly sovereign through an intermediate body of elected officials"* at local, county, state or federal levels. 


          Counting the majority number or making decisions around a table without benefit of all information available is the ultimate Democracy which John Adams said "Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of weath, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few. (1763 in "An Essay on Man's Lust for Power").  Most of the words in this quote are present Now; and through ALL of Our Mistakes in the last election.  Even in the Bubble itself, which actually did occur through mis-guided politicians suggesting to misguided real estate opportunists, that selling homes to dreamy, misguided Americans would help Every Person Own A Home and all disregarding or disbelieving in the morality of the use of the Tool Called Money!
