December 2 Runoff -
Living proof the System is Broken
From
our perspective the elections this year have been dismal. The
Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates chosen by the
Primary system, couldn't have been worse. Someday they ought to read
the Constitution! At the State Legislature level, a majority of the
races only had one candidate (oops - worse record than the Republic
of Congo election).
After thinking it couldn't get any
worse, we were quickly proven wrong with the upcoming December 2
Georgia US Senate Runoff.
If anyone ever needed proof that the
System is Broken, this race should provide it. I have never received
so many slick and expensive pieces of mail, nor received so many
phone calls as I have for this race. And never before has the
information and literature been so distorted and misleading.
Put these
candidates literature side by side and it hard to believe that they
are running for the same office - or that they are running for
office in our country. This stuff belongs in "banana republics" -
except they have more open elections than Georgia.
If you read George Washington's
Farewell Address you will quickly find that we were warned about
partisan excesses over 200 years ago!
The last barrage of phone calls,
literature in mail and internet emails has just been over the edge
on an issue - and that is illegal immigration. Before proceeding let
it be clear that I did not vote for Mr. Martin on November 4. Nor is
this an encouragement for anyone to vote for Mr. Martin.
But the Campaign Rhetoric in support
of the campaign of Mr. Chambliss borders on "fantasy
land fables!" References are in box at bottom of
page.
- Mr. Chambliss is not tough on
immigration! Just a couple years ago he was one of the buddies of
Senator "Blonde In Every Pond" Kennedy on the Amnesty bill. I
still remember the picture of our two Georgia Senators laughing it
up with Senator Kennedy as they proposed the "BIG SELLOUT!"
If you support Amnesty then yes you should vote for Mr. Chambliss.
- Mr. Chambliss has been a leading
proponent of H-1B visas, in fact spoke in favor of a bill that
would have sold ANY American job to a foreign H-1B visa for
$500.00! He openly stated on the floor of the Senate that it was
for a multi-national beverage company (Coke) and airline (Delta)
in Georgia. If you support unlimited H-1B visas then yes you
should vote for Mr. Chambliss!
- Mr. Chambliss has been a leading
proponent of the Agriculture Workers Program, which would create
an unlimited number of "blue"
cards. If you support millions of "blue" cards issued under
vague language then yes you should vote for Mr. Chambliss!
If you are also getting the same
literature, phone calls and eMails that I am - I hope that you make
a note of those that are playing Party over Principle! It is fine
for anyone or any organization to endorse and support Mr. Chambliss.
But it is not fine to make false claims, just for the sake of
gaining an edge in an election!
At best that is
hypocrisy - at worst it is what is called a Bold Faced Lie!
Perhaps you have also seen the
requests to vote for Senator Chambliss to prevent a filibuster proof
US Senate. It has just been three years since the Republican Party
was threatening to eliminate "filibusters" in the US Senate (See
reference in box below). Perhaps you remember the "threatened
nuclear" option?
Lets see - in 2005 -
the filibuster - was a threat to
American and you were asked to support the Republicans to Save
America. Now in 2008 - the loss of the
filibuster - is a threat to America and you are asked to
support Republicans to Save America!
At best that is
hypocrisy - at worst it is what is called a Bold Faced Lie!
The political system is broken. It
will not be fixed until you the citizens demand true competition and
end the monopoly of the two wings of the Special Interest Party. As
for the December 2 runoff - we have already lost the election,
regardless of who wins.

ALERT - Georgia Republican US Senators support Ted "Blonde in
Every Pond" Kennedy Amnesty!
For months both of these Republican
Senators have been talking the tough talk on illegal
immigration. But when the chips are down, you see where they
stand - by the side of Ted "Blonde in Every Pond" Kennedy,
supporting their corporate benefactors, ignoring you - the
citizens.

Senator Chambliss proposed
selling American jobs, via increased H-1B visas for $500.00 in
2006 (See:
Georgia US Senator Chambliss PROPOSES selling 30,000 American
jobs for $500.00 each - Support of Coke and Delta implied ...).
His statement at the time:
But I chaired the
Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship
in the Senate Judiciary Committee during the 108th Congress.
During that time, I worked very closely with my friends and
colleagues, Senator
Kennedy and Senator Grassley,
to enact H -1B reform legislation
Georgia Republican Senator
Saxby Chambliss proposes increased immigration amendment
Georgians should be interested to
see what their Republican US Senators are doing. The following
amendment was sponsored by Georgia US Senator Saxby Chambliss
to basically grant an unlimited number of H-2A visas.
Apparently the thought process is - if illegal immigration is
too high - reduce it by making it legal!

Both Republican Georgia
Senators vote to sell American jobs to foreigners for $500.00
...
Well the Bush Administration has
won another victory for globalist corporations and at least
150,000 Americans will pay for it with their jobs. The H-1B
visas program has been expanded by least 30,000 American jobs
a year for 5 years at a license fee of $500.00 per American
job given to a foreigner.

Georgia's Republican US
Senators vote against effort to remove amnesty
If there was any question in the
minds of Georgians about their two Senators support for
amnesty, the vote on Amendment 1157 should be conclusive.
Amendment 1157 would have removed the amnesty provisions from
S. 1348.

Ending Filibuster is not a
good idea ...
Our Founding Fathers knew that the
greatest threat to liberty in the long run would be our own
government. For this reason they erected "checks and balances"
in an effort to prevent our government following the path of
virtually all governments in the history of mankind - from
liberty to corruption to tyranny.
