The Next Week Will Decide if Democracy Will Survive
Posted by Stanley at 19:54, 12 Jan 2006This is worth spreading far and wide everyone. Otherwise, there is no question whatsoever, if there was any democracy then it will be well and truly lost very soon.

Bush is now completely and certifiably out of control. But to remove the last restraint on the creation of a new American dictatorship they must install one more lock down vote on the Supreme Court, in the person of Sam Alito.
Despite Alito's extreme right wing voting record and lifelong ideological agenda, nobody expects him to show up at his hearing sporting a tail and horns wearing a red suit. Instead he will lie and evade like some Wal-Mart smiley face, just as he did when in his confirmation for the Court of Appeals he promised to recuse himself from cases involving his own
investments. Then he fought to do precisely otherwise. He will make absolutely any misrepresentation of his views and his agenda to try to sneak past public accountability yet again, while his record shouts otherwise. And only your voices speaking out now can turn the tide against this judicial coup.

We are planning a two-stage action. First with the action page above we will build a consensus that ANY replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor must be no worse than a true moderate and centrist. Then after the conclusion of the hearings we will speak out AGAIN on specific question of the final vote
in the Senate. Please submit every possible action page you can get your hands on, and keep speaking out until we prevail, just as we did on ANWR and the torture prohibition.
But remember that Alito was the author of the tactic of Bush trying to spin acts of Congress with so-called "signing statements" in hopes that some future Supreme Court (including now guess who) would give them weight over
the will of the people. And Bush did just that with the anti-torture bill, declaring that he really didn't consider himself bound at all. Every day from now on must be STOP Alito day, otherwise our democracy is doomed.

Even if you have submitted something else recently, please go to the page above and take a moment to submit it. There are lots of good references in the arguments section below the form if you would like some additional support or ideas for your personal comments, or just cast your vote with one
click and go. We have nearly 100,000 participants in our system and we are counting on at least 25,000 of you to speak out now. This battle must be won, there must be a filibuster, or all else will be ultimately lost.
NEW UPDATED DESKTOP ACTION PROGRAM AVAILABLE NOW
To help us get as close as possible to 100% submission yield on this question we have made many improvements on the Desktop Action program since its initial release last week. With this program you can speak out directly from your desktop with just one click! Based on your input we have set the program to always be minimized unless you expressly click on its icon, we have now made the interface draggable, and incorporated all of your other suggestions. Though it worked well for most people from day one, we have corrected all minor issues with contact setup and system reboots, and all
these small fixes have been confirmed corrected. Even if you already have the program, please download the latest update (1.05) from the main index page at
RUN FOR OFFICE YOURSELF OR FIND US SOMEONE WHO IS
We received many inquiries from candidates who want to win, and we are setting everybody up with their easy-to-use forms for creating action forms on your own campaign web site. The most important thing you can do is launch your own STOP Alito initiative to show your constituents how much you are out there fighting for them now, and not just talking about what you WOULD do if elected. Build your track record and prominence identified as someone out there fighting to protect the rights of the people. Contact us at once and we will set you up. There is no charge for any of our services
ever.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

We the people will have no recourse when our rights have been violated. We will be at the mercy of a group of power crazed pycho's. No courts of consitutional law, no justice.

I think that the powers that be, the Republicrats, have decided that the illusion of democracy needs to stay around for a little while longer. Besides, from a historical perspective, the U.S. Supreme Court plays follow the moods and trends in society, not follow the President!
What do you think?

Group Seeks Souter Eviction As Protest
CONCORD, N.H. Jan 21, 2006 — Angered by a Supreme Court ruling that gave local governments more power to seize people's homes for economic development, a group of activists is trying to get one of the court's justices evicted from his own home.
The group, led by a California man, wants Justice David Souter's home seized to build an inn called the "Lost Liberty Hotel."
They submitted enough petition signatures - only 25 were needed - to bring the matter before voters in March. This weekend, they're descending on Souter's hometown, the central New Hampshire town of Weare, population 8,500, to rally for support.
"This is in the tradition of the Boston Tea Party and the Pine Tree Riot," Organizer Logan Darrow Clements said, referring to the riot that took place during the winter of 1771-1772, when colonists in Weare beat up officials appointed by King George III who fined them for logging white pines without approval.
"All we're trying to do is put an end to eminent domain abuse," Clements said, by having those who advocate or facilitate it "live under it, so they understand why it needs to end."

I'd buy stock in the 'Lost Liberty Hotel' in a heartbeat - heck, I'd even make a donation! Here's a link to the site of the group that's behind the protest: Natural Rights

Eminent domain stinks and it always has stunk! Did you know that the U.S. Government can offer you $1 for your property and allow to sue them for the rest of the value of your property after, I think, one or two years! That is if you can afford to sue them. But, eminent domain is in the U.S. Constitution. So, you need a Constitutional Ammendment! The U.S. Supreme Court in obligated to base their rulings on the U.S. Constitution and Constitutional legal precedents! They cannot declare the U.S. Constitution or any part there of to be Unconstitutional! So, this isn't the U.S. Supreme Courts fault. Taking Senators and Representatives homes from them will do much more good!
