The Declaration of Independence
May I take this opportunity to lead you all to a very useful website that lets you know EXACTLY what this government & the wealthy elite of this world are up to recently? It's not for the good of the people, that's for sure.
Please see www.globalresearch.ca
See an article from by Steven Lendman http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?c... titled The Militarization & Annexation of the Security & Prosperity Partnership of North America, Unmasked. It's quite an eye opener!
Keep up the good work Joshua!
Please begin pushing for Newt Gingrich to run and win the presidency. In years past I thought you would eventually be our commander and president, but the demos shot you down unfortunately.
Newt is as I had a letter to the editor say, the most knowlegable and experienced of all candidates.
Thanks.

This would provide sufficient revenue for the federal government and eliminate the tax burden of the private citizen. It would also slow down the runaway money market that threatens the future.

My name is Abbie Welker and I am one of the many consumer customers of the cell phone company t-mobile. I was their customer for a year and 11mo. then my fiancee needed a phone so I added him under my plan. Since then t-mobile has tried ripping me off adding extra charges and additional minutes. I have spoke with them many times and they have adjusted the issues. On the 5th of December I recieved a call from t-mobile stating that I owed them 500+ dollers and it needed to be paid right away or a payment arangement needed to be made so service was not interupted. I was told that if I was unable to pay the full amount I could call in and reschedule the arangment if a paid a portion at least. I called in and they told me I still had the balance then they asked me if I wanted to pay. I said I could only pay half now and the rest in 2 weeks. They then told me I couldn't do that because the payment was already going through. Then why did they want me to pay in the begining? I was told by my mother in law that you are fighting against crocked cell phone company's and their scams to get your money. My fiancees attourny said they had just done the same to him when he went overseas. When he got back he called and they only charged him a portion of the huge bill he owed. I don't get the same treatment because I am not a lawyer and don't have the athourity. Please let me know what you think of this and if you are running against this I am a perfect example of their misconduct with customers. Thank you for your time. ~ Abbie Welker
(1) Why don't you have a e-mail address????
(2) What is this about the Supreme Court wanting to remove all "Crosses" from Federal Property??? Just let them try to remove the "Crosses" at Arlington Cemetary. That will really open up a can of worms.
My Pledge for 2008 is not to vote for a Replublican if this Supreme Court gets away with their stupid ideas and laws.
