For 2010 mid-term, dems can’t win on the issues so they use HR3957, Acorn and other methods to stuff the ballot box.

(B) to cast a vote in such election.

Like many things the democrats propose, they are great at first blush.
Election commissions have a valid reason for setting registration deadlines. You need to validate residency and other qualifications to vote like you are not an alien (illegal or legal).
I am from Obama’s hometown. Chicago unofficial motto is: Vote early and vote often. Obama and the socialists want to get rid of all the controls on who can vote. Get rid of all the controls on how many times you vote.
Will Rifqa Bary be next?
Peoria police are searching for a man they say ran down his 20-year-old daughter in a parking lot for becoming “too 'westernized’ and ... not living according to their traditional Iraq values.”
Noor Faleh Almaleki of Surprise was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. Another woman, Amal Edan Khalaf, 43, of Surprise also was struck and is in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Detectives from the Peoria Police Violent Crimes Unit, after talking with family and friends, learned Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, of Glendale was the driver, and that he is the father of Noor Faleh Almaleki. Those interviewed also told police he was with her as she had become too "westernized” and had made threats toward her.

Legal and illegal aliens can not vote but that doesn’t stop the socialists. The democrats want the non-citizens counted in the census to effect the makeup of Congress. They also know ACORN and other groups will register non-citizens to vote illegally.

A Message From John Arrington
No other state embodies the American spirit like the state of Illinois, the land of Lincoln, the land of leadership. No other people embody the American spirit like Illinoisans. The American spirit is one of hard work and resiliency, opportunity and equality, sacrifice and generosity. Our national economy, political challenges and mistrust are no match for the spirit of the people of Illinois. That same spirit, voice, and will of the people that changed our nations’ destiny under President Abraham Lincoln is that same spirit, voice, and will present today to carry our nation through the lessons of the past, the challenges of the present, toward the prosperity of our future.
This is why I am campaigning for senate, not as a “professional” politician motivated by power and ego, but a citizen who sees the need for a revival of family values, ethics in the legislation of our laws and government, that is inspired by the power and will of the people. It is on this foundation that I build my campaign. One of a politician’s unforgivable flaws is when he or she forgets to hear the voices of his constituents and instead responds to the concerns of special interests. Let me tell you now…no, it is my intent to show you, that you are my special interests; you are the people I will remember and work for. You deserve more from your elected leaders and the time is now that you receive it.

I just heard Mr. Arrington on the afternoon talk radio show I listen to. With more experience, I would vote for John Arrington for president. I will be voting for him for US Senate. I would urge you to donate to his campaign.
Slams Wall Street’s salaries while attending $15,200 per person fundraiser.
President Barack Obama challenged Wall Street to embrace his proposed financial regulations at a New York City fundraiser Tuesday night.
Obama criticized the "reckless speculation and deceptive practices and short-sightedness and self-interestedness from a few." The audience included members of the Wall Street community.
Banks and other financial institutions have fought the proposed regulations, including one for a Consumer Protection Financial Agency. Obama has insisted the agency is necessary to prevent another economic collapse.
"So if there are members of the financial industry in the audience today, I will ask that you join with us in passing what are necessary reforms -- don’t fight them, join us on it," Obama said at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser.
The dinner and a second fundraiser were expected to raise between $2 million and $3 million for the DNC. At the dinner, tickets went for $15,200 per person and $30,400 per couple.
The president was criticized earlier in the week for taking Wall Street's money as his administration criticized the practices of financial institutions.
"It will be good for the financial industry to have a level playing field in which everybody knows the rules and everybody knows that the rules will be enforced," Obama said. "And people are competing not by how confusing you can make things, and how to avoid rules, but competing because you're offering innovative good products that are helping grow the American economy and put people to work out on main street."

Financial and other Wall Street companies are not social agencies. They are “for profit” companies. Only the stockholders or other owners should set the salaries of upper management. Those salaries are none of the business of Obama, Barney Frank or the other socialists.
For months Obama has escaped on Air Force One every other day to hold townhall meetings to tell people how dire healthcare was that we needed to pass Obamacare. Now that Congress is actually going to put some detail in the socialize healthcare plan, Obama has escaped the Oval Office. Even though for months it was “my plan this” “my plan that”, Obama will have no input into what is in ObamaCare.

Yes, death panels are NOT specifically in any of the ObamaCare plans. But the wealthy can’t support ObamaCare more than a couple years then, like Florida, resources will be rationed. Terminal patients – just let’em croak. Elderly patients – just let’em croak. That is what we can expect from ObamaCare.
In the summer of 2001, the U.S. Postal Service began sales of the first postage stamp honoring the country's Muslims. There are nearly 7 million Muslims living in the United States, and this stamp was issued to commemorate the two main Islamic holidays. Thus, it is properly known as the "Eid Stamp."
Eid is a generic Arabic term that means "holiday" or "festival." Islam recognizes two holidays, specifically known as Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Fast-Breaking) and Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). The Arabic script on the stamp says Eid Mubarak, or "Blessed Festival." This greeting can apply to either of the two celebrations.
A page of 20 44–cent Eid special stamps is being sold.
On September 3, 2009, in Washington, DC, the Postal Service™ issued a 44–cent, Eid special stamp, designed/calligraphed by Mohamed Zakariya of Arlington, Virginia.
This stamp was first issued in 2001 with a 34–cent denomination, and with the same design, a 37–cent denomination in 2002, 39–cent denomination in 2006, 41–cent denomination in 2007, and 42–cent denomination in 2008.

Some have been called it the Muslim “Christmas” stamp. It of course is not related to Christmas. And while Obama may like them because they appease Islam Extremist, Obama did not order the stamp be sold. They have been created pre-9/11.
Do you have a problem with these stamps?
I don’t if the money stays with the post office.

On October 14th, President Obama observed the auspicious holiday of Diwali, or festival of lights, in the East Room of the White House. The occasion marked the first time that an American President has observed the holiday. Sri Narayanachar Digalakote, a Sanskrit scholar and ordained Hindu priest of the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lantham, Maryland chanted Asatoma Sadgamaya from the Upanishads while the President lit the White House diya.
In addition to the observance, the President signed a White House Initiative reestablishing the Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The University of Pennsylvania acapella group Penn Masala opened the ceremony with a multilingual performance of the song "Aicha." Shekar Narasimhan and the Temple provided sweets to attendees, who included folks from the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, members of Congress, and dignitaries; included in the audience were Wat Misaka, the NBA’s first non-white basketball player (New York Knicks) who also served in World War Two, fusion music artist DJ Rekha, Vinai Thummalapally (US Ambassador to Belize), and Indian Ambassador to the United States, Meera Shankar.

Our “Christian” President appeases Muslims and Islamic Extremists and makes sure the White House celibrates every non-Christian reilgious holiday then orders Jesus be removed for Christmas.
He found another excuse to escape the Oval Office and add a couple states to AF1. Obama has visited 25 states out of 57.
Now, I saw the consequences of this failure during my visit here as a senator and then as a candidate for President. So when I took office as President, one of the first things I did was tell my Cabinet and senior staff that our Gulf Coast rebuilding efforts and our disaster response efforts were going to be top priorities for this White House. I wanted to get it right and I wanted us to be ready.
And so far, I'm pleased to report that we've made good progress. We've got a long way to go, but we've made progress. (Applause.) Over the last nine months, we have sent more Cabinet members to this region than almost anywhere in the country -- not just to make appearances, but to listen, and to learn, and help you move forward. As we've continued this recovery effort, I've made it clear that we're not going to tolerate the usual turf wars between agencies. So we've prioritized coordination between all levels of government. We put in place innovative review and dispute resolution programs to get projects moving forward quickly. We've freed up over $1.5 billion in recovery and rebuilding assistance that had been tangled up in red tape for years.
And this assistance is allowing us to move forward together with projects that were stalled across the Gulf Coast -- projects rebuilding and improving schools; investing in public health and safety; repairing broken roads and bridges and buildings. And this effort has been dramatically amplified by the Recovery Act, which has put thousands of Gulf Coast residents back to work.

How many days does Ms. Bary have left to live?
Orange County, Fla. Circuit Judge Daniel Dawson has ordered 17 year old Rifqa Bary to be returned to Ohio which she fled July 19 this year. Rifqa, a Muslim convert to the Christian faith cited fear of abuse and/or death at the hands of her Islamic parents, who she claims are fundamentalists. Ms. Bary specifically maintains that her father had already administered beatings and threatened to kill her upon learning of her conversion, saying "[he] said he would kill me or send me back to Sri Lanka," [where] they have asylums where they put people like me."
Whether or not radical Islam supports what are known as "honor killings," the U.N. estimates that approximately 5,000 are slaughtered every year in the "ritual." Honor killing, as we examined before, is defined as an ancient tradition, still sometimes observed; a male member of the family (usually a father or brother in a Muslim family) kills a female relative for tarnishing the family image, hence restoring the families’ "honor."
While the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) concluded in its "investigation" that there appeared to be no immanent threat to Rifqa Bary's life, other seasoned law enforcement officials disagree. John D. Guandolo, 12 ? year veteran of the FBI, reviewing the case at the request of the Center for Security Policy determined, "authoritative Islamic Law texts officially translated into English allow that individual apostates cannot be killed for a 'quiet desertion of personal Islamic duties,' but can be put to death as 'just punishment' when the apostate deserts Islam publicly."

Will political correctness be a death sentence for Ms. Bary? Either Ms. Bary is going to be killed or she will be ripped from her country and sent to Sri Lanka where she will be pressured to embrace the Muslim faith again.
All Rams players would have profited from having Limbaugh as an owner.
Rush Limbaugh won't be buying a piece of the St. Louis Rams after all.
With criticism mounting, Dave Checketts, the sports businessman leading a group vying for the National Football League franchise, dumped the controversial conservative talk show host just days after Mr. Limbaugh disclosed his intent to buy a minority interest in the team.
"Rush was to be a limited partner—as such, he would have had no say in the direction of the club or in any decisions regarding personnel or operations," Mr. Checketts, owner of the NHL's St. Louis Blues, said in a statement released Wednesday. "This was a role he enthusiastically embraced. However, it has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions; endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis. As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion."

Liberals/blacks were saying misleading racial statements against Rush. They talk about Rush playing the parody “Barack the Magic Negro” as an example of why Rush should be excluded from owning part of an NFL team. If you listen to the parody, you find out the term “Barack the Magic Negro” came from a black LA columnist that said that Obama was not black enough to be president.
