Obama Health Reform Address Close – “The Character Of Our Country”

July 132010

At the close of an address on health reform to Congress, President Obama reminds people: “I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan, than to improve it.”

“If you misrepresent what’s in this plan, we will call you out,” he adds. “And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.”

He also talks about a letter he received from late Senator Ted Kennedy that was written in May, but delivered to Obama after Kennedy’s death. In the letter, Ted called health reform “unfinished business” but was confident that “this is the year” that it would pass.

Obama also remarked on when it is necessary fo government to step in.

Public Vote on Dem. vs Rep. Congressional Bills.

July 132010

Approach-avoidance question #499 & #330 in 2007 CNN-YouTube Presidential Debates. Now “Signing Statement 9/29/2009: Public Vote on Congressional Bills” http://healthcare.change.org/actions/view/signing_statement_9292009_public_vote_on_congressional_bills

Constitutional Upgrade 28.0 inserts just 18 hard words into the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph of Article I section 7:

…Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, OR AT THE DISCRETION OF CONGRESS, EVERY COMPETING VERSION OF A BILL HAVING GAINED THE PUBLIC VOTE MAJORITY, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President….

Generating a purely psychological restoring force–to the present government by psychological operations. Job 1 of Party machinery is to spin every new idea or issue apart by its extremes culminating in a bait-and-switch, wherein private interest power is retained at the last minute.

Is the Shadow Govt real? Just follow the money trail–until you are told you can look no further. SHAGGED, as it were.

28.0 is purely a psychological restoring force in that Congress has this Option right now without an amendment–as a binding resolution, binding on only Congress itself to pass along the public vote majority winning version of a bill to the President.

The opportunity this 28.0 alternative to the zeitgeist paradigm http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ offers to the secret-societies is in its anti-SHAGGING effect: The opportunity to conduct the financial global theater of operations under the higher protocols of the more productive Consent of the Governed.

There you have it–fascism and communism stem from the same philosophical roots, and it’s back to them uglies we be charting a course, ya scurvy scoundrels. Or else, here be a new modus operandi anyone with a drop of American Revolution remaining in his/her profile should find a proper Constitutional alternative.

This video appeared several times a night on the background monitors in Paula Zahn’s CNN’s weeklong show explaining the new debate format…and it even seemed like the CNN VP was talking it over one night with the Decision Team: “When he asks that question, they’re just going to…” and then the camera cut away. Well what could any presidential candidate or media commentator say about how a bill really becomes a law…except both parties have America living a lie, and this 28.0 Emergency Spin Recovery Procedure is the only way to pull out of the spin before all this Reagan-emulation finishes flying the whole works into the ground.

The Crisis of Democracy is worldwide–28.0 is the means to regain US Moral Authority after the crash. SunTzu says: Rule #1 in “Art of War” is hold Moral Authority high ground. Once we emerge from what will effectively be ONE WORLD CURRENCY BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS, meanwhile the media expert commentators heads spin faster and faster to throw off blame.

In actual practice though moderation would prevail, since the competing Republican and Democratic versions of a bill would need to be written away from party base extremes in order to gain the public vote majority. In a process that would REDIRECT THE CASH FLOW, effect the line-item veto, and effect campaign finance reform, while pulling out of the CNN/FOX spin.

The reasoning behind this answer/question, is explained way too metaphorically in my book “The Maturing of the Democratic Process” published by iUniverse.com, http://www.iuniverse.com/Bookstore/BookDetail.aspx?BookId=SKU-000045833

As book points out, more amendments have dealt with the extension of voting rights than any other single issue. An NRA would form the next logical term in the series. Which Marilyn vos Savant and Constitutional Law Prof. Jonathan Turley of George Washington University have been asked to comment–also with no reply.

INITIATIVES aka privately written laws are NOT supported. 28.0 legitimizes present govt by competing private-sector polls, and focus groups–now configured to find out what lies to tell to get through continuous campaign election/news cycle.

One thing the conservatives, liberals, and communists all say is eventually their government will “just wither away.” (Sleep with the fish.)

Perspective here is to re-strike balance of power–promoting human-spiritual growth accompanying every step in the extension of voting rights vs. era of govt by psych-ops keeping America in adolescent state via media-generated scapegoats.

All I Want From Congress

“All I Want From Congress” Lyrics

I don’t want a lot from Congress…
So many folks are in need…

I don’t care to have a handout.

Sick and tired of corporate greed.
Please don’t listen to the fringe.
Or pass a bill that makes us cringe.
We need you too…

Senate this is what we elected you to do….

I could use a job dear Congress.
So could all the others in need.
We can do better than the presents with one that helps the whole Country.
i don’t need an explanation of why we have to compromise.
Bet they wont’ really filibuster
I see fear in Ensign’s eyes.
We want real reform to pass.
A milestone that is sure to last.
Make our wish come true!
Senate this is what we elected you.
To do.

I won’t ask much from Congress
don’t want the deficit to grow.
Can’t afford to wait much longer.
Keep sending things to the CBO!
I made a short list and I sent it to Nelson, Landrieu, and ol’ Joe.
The catastrophic plan when you wrote, won’t get me to the gyno.
Cause I don’t think it asks for much to say we all deserve coverage.
I know this much is true…
Congress this is why we elected you.
Yeah

Oh Mr. Lieberman you’ve become a Grinch.
You almost lost your seat but this is quite a stink.
31 Million People
31 Million People
Joe it’s not too late to stop blocking the debate.
Do the right thing for the Country.

Oh I’ve got news for you dear congress. News that you just have to hear. If this bill ends up far from perfect we’ll just have to come on back next year. So pass a bill but don’t be mistaken cause our efforts will not be forsaken. Why wait another year?

Congress this is why we elected you.
