URGENT: EXECUTIVE ORDER gives WH control of the ELECTIONS...MUST STOP THIS NOW!

IF YOU GET INVOLVED IN AND TAKE ACTION ON ONLY ONE ISSUE THIS YEAR… MAKE IT THIS ONE… PLEASE!

PEOPLE THIS IS REALLY BAD.  LIKE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FRAUD IN OUR SYSTEM ALREADY….  This is a blatant attempt to manipulate the voting in America. Think about other countries run by Dictators… who runs/owns the election process??

Thursday, as many Americans prepared for a three day Easter weekend, Obama signed an Executive Order that can alter the course of all future elections.

In it, he established the Presidential Commission of Election Administration.  The 9 members are appointed by the President.  Their mission includes:

  • establishing the number, location, management, operation and design of polling places
  • the training and recruitment of poll workers
  • accessibility for overseas and uniformed voters
  • voting machine technology
  • management of Provisional ballots
  • management of Absentee ballots

Consider this:  Most of Obama's power-grabs were initiated via Federal Agencies.  A strong incoming president could unravel much of his work.  If BHO controls the election process, there is little left for the future but totalitarianism.

Most Americans do not know about the order or what it means.  Please:

1. Contact everyone you know and let them see what the WH is up to.  You don't have to talk about politics, just that this is a bad overreach of authority for any president, regardless of political party.

2. Then Call, call, call your representatives and state public officials:

Read Obama's Executive Order.

YES, EXECUTIVE ORDERS CAN BE STOPPED!!!

We were able to force  Bill Clinton to suspend, then replace EO 13083, an order that  attempted to grab states' rights by re-defining Federalism.

Here is how it was done.

The House and Senate can pass a bill overriding the EO and then have a 2/3 majority to override the president's veto. Obviously, this is not likely today, But, it can work if public opinion is also overwhelmingly against the president.

We can garner public opinion by pointing out that once the Executive branch assumes control of the election process, any incoming president can then use his powers to alter any election.  The public does not want presidents with that kind of power.

Stopping the EO:

Like Obama's pre-holiday release, Clinton signed his EO while  in Birmingham, England.  The low profile attempt worked since most Americans and even congress knew little of his move.  But, representatives Ron Paul (TX) and Bob Barr (GA) sponsored counter legislation bringing the EO to the public's attention.

At the same time, Big Seven” organizations of state and local governments: the National Governors Association, National Conference of State Legislatures, the Council of State Governments, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties and the International City/County Management Association joined forces and sent a letter to Clinton demanding he rescind EO 13083. (We must notify these groups!!!)

Several media picked up on Pauls' bill and the state actions and the story began to spread.

In 1998-99, there were marches across the country over 13083.  We need to notify every media outlet and every neighbor of Obama's order. Clinton eventually backed off of his EO.

Another avenue to repeal is for Congress to deny the funds necessary to fund the EO.  My guess is Obama has ample money he can shuffle from other agencies to fund whatever this without Congress.

They slid another in ... Executive Order that is.  This one establishes a "Presidential Commission of Election Administration" of not more than 9 members,
appointed by "the President" of course. Under the guise of improving the voting process, what better way to take complete control of the process.
Note the words that I've italicized and emboldened to see the obvious tools necessary to control the outcome and to cover up past corruption of elections
So how does Barack Hussein remain in power ?  Perhaps one path will be more clear as you read below.

Easy Things You Can Do to Prevent Voter Fraud

Katie Pavlich from Houston, Texas at the Second Annual True the Vote National Summit.

I'll be posting throughout the day about the content of the sessions and speeches on the issue of voter fraud. To start things off, here is a list of easy things people can do to not only prevent voter fraud.

-Get involved with True the Vote and your local voter integrity groups

-Get trained as a poll watcher

-Help train new poll watchers

-Go through voter registration data rolls, matching obituaries to voter rolls “No representation without respiration”

-Verify registrants

-Consistently research the voter registration database. Database research is an ongoing, never ending process so approach it like a marathon, not a sprint

-Submit duplicate names, false names and the names of dead people to the state attorney general and also explain those findings to the media

-Use new media to get ahead of the narrative on voter fraud

-Work with your legislators to get same day voter registration laws changed

-Take a neighborhood watch approach to protecting elections

-Set up booths at gun shows, county fairs, local fairs, etc. to take advantage of all opportunities to market the cause and recruit volunteers

-Write a legislative wish list of voting reform and give it to your state legislator, advocate for the items on the list

-Don’t trust or assume the Board of Elections in your state is doing the right thing

-Know your state election code and understand it before trying to change it for the better

-If your friends aren't convinced voter fraud exists, show them this video:

Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies?

The mysterious disappearance of the Secretary of State Project

Whatever happened to the left-wing Secretary of State Project liberals promised would save our elections from the dirty tricks of those dang lowdown, yellow-bellied, lily-livered Republicans?

The evidence now suggests that the election-stealing, George Soros-funded so-called "527" political committee is dead, or perhaps just deeply sedated. This group that section 527 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code allows to accept unlimited financial contributions was created solely to rig elections for Democrats.

It accomplishes this by electing permissive liberal Democrats as secretaries of state. In most states the secretary of state is the chief elections officer, so putting left-wingers in the often-overlooked but critically important office allows these political radicals to manipulate the electoral process. This is what liberals call "election protection."

Billionaire donor Soros, whom Saturday Night Live has mocked as the "owner" of the Democratic Party, underwrote the Secretary of State Project in order to help Democrats gain an unfair advantage on Election Day. Soros and progressives all across the fruited plain believe with a religious fervor that right-leaning secretaries of state helped the GOP steal the presidential elections in Florida in 2000 (Katherine Harris) and in Ohio in 2004 (Ken Blackwell).

For years Soros's ultra-wealthy colleagues in the Democracy Alliance, a billionaires' club that funds left-wing political infrastructure, opened their wallets to help secretary of state candidates endorsed by the SoS Project. They helped to elect Saul Alinsky-inspired community organizer Mark Ritchie, the ACORN-loving Minnesota secretary of state who presided over Al Franken's theft of incumbent Republican Norm Coleman's U.S. Senate seat in the 2008 election cycle.

Until a year and a half ago the Secretary of State Project was doing well. Before the 2010 cycle it took credit for electing 11 of the 18 left-wingers it endorsed since it began funding candidates in 2006.

Then in 2010 disaster struck for Democrats at both the national and state levels. Five out of the SoS Project's seven official candidates went down to defeat. Only Ritchie and another progressive incumbent, California's Debra Bowen, stayed afloat in the Republican electoral tsunami. As the Secretary of State Project lost its luster and its funding dried up, the writing was on the wall.

Despite the SoS Project's ultimately limited shelf life, the idea behind the group was clever in a Robert Mugabe kind of way. A relative pittance can help swing these little-watched state contests, allowing even small donors to play a big role in making all of America Vermont.

Once a secretary of state who doesn't give a farthing's cuss about electoral integrity is in power, the undemocratic installation of Democrats in public office may follow. (See Franken, Al.)

The secretary of state candidates the SoS Project endorses sing the same familiar song about election-related issues that we now hear from Eric Holder's lawless Justice Department.

The left-of-center candidates bearing the Secretary of State Project's seal of approval typically say that: a) voter fraud is as real as the Loch Ness monster; b) Republicans routinely practice vote suppression; c) voter rolls should never be cleansed of the dead and fictional characters; and d) anyone who demands that a voter produce photo identification before pulling the lever is a racist.

With that said, how do we actually know that the fetid Secretary of State Project is likely a-mouldering in the ground?

Rumors of the organization's death have been circulating for months.

The Secretary of State Project's website, secstateproject.org, is currently offline after vanishing from the Internet in July of last year. At press time its Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Twitter account hadn't been updated since 2010. The group hasn't endorsed any candidates for the 2012 election cycle and its most recent IRS filings show almost no financial activity since the 2010 election cycle.

Progressive activists involved with the group refused to comment. Contacted by telephone, co-founder Rebecca Bond, who goes by "Becky," politely refused to comment for this would-be obituary after this writer pointed out that the political committee's once-impressive website had gone dark.

Bond wasn't the only one with zipped lips. Wayne State law professor and community organizer Jocelyn Benson, who was beaten decisively in blue state Michigan by Republican Ruth Johnson in 2010, failed to return telephone calls. Benson, who lost by five percentage points despite running in a blue state, being endorsed by the Secretary of State Project, and outspending her opponent by a quarter of a million dollars, failed to return telephone calls.

Longtime Democratic operative Alexandra Visher, who is vice president in charge of partner engagement and communications at the Soros-backed Democracy Alliance, and who has generally been willing to comment on other matters, also honored the Left's code of silence, failing to respond to emails seeking comment. The Democracy Alliance has steered its members' sizeable donations to the Secretary of State Project and dozens of other progressive pressure groups with close ties to the Obama White House such as Media Matters for America and John Podesta's Center for American Progress.

Incidentally, the SoS Project's friends in leftist groups such as the ACORN-affiliated Project Vote have launched a massive assault on electoral integrity through the courts. Project Vote, which used to employ Barack Obama, and other radical organizations are pressuring state officials across America to drop voter fraud investigations.

Meanwhile, it is telling that at the time the Secretary of State Project was created Bond paraphrased an aphorism attributed to Joseph Stalin. The brutal Communist dictator reportedly said, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."

Bond told the San Francisco Chronicle bluntly that, "Any serious commitment to wrestling control of the country from the Republican Party must include removing their political operatives from deciding who can vote and whose votes will count."

Bond and co-founder James Rucker, formerly director of grassroots mobilization for MoveOn, used the Secretary of State Project to perpetuate perennially popular progressive platitudes about the Grand Old Party's supposed track record for electoral malfeasance.

Rucker is better known for co-founding Color of Change, an Afro-centrist attack group, with former Obama green jobs czar and self-described "communist" Van Jones. Color of Change takes credit for getting Glenn Beck off the Fox News Channel. The group also takes credit for getting major corporations to stop funding the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and getting the highly effective conservative public policy group to abandon its common-sense push for voter ID laws.

Now that the Secretary of State Project is either pushing up the daisies or writhing in the agony of death throes how will its originators pass the days?

While Rucker spends his time organizing boycotts and smearing conservatives as racist, San Francisco-based Bond's day job consists of targeting Tea Party-friendly lawmakers such as Reps. Allen West (R-Fla.) and Steve King (R-Iowa) for defeat.

Bond is political director for CREDO Mobile, the wireless reseller that donates part of its profits to leftist groups such as Media Matters for America, Project Vote, Color of Change, Food Democracy Now!, and the Sierra Club Foundation. CREDO Mobile president Michael Kieschnick boasts that CREDO Action, a network he claims has 2.5 million activists, has given upwards of $70 million to left-wing groups since 1985.

Bond has another role within the for-profit company. Although CREDO opposes the Supreme Court decision that allowed independent political action committees, known as super PACs, to accept unlimited corporate funding, the cognitively dissonant company went ahead and created the CREDO Super PAC anyway.

CREDO felt it shouldn't "unilaterally disarm," Bond, who is the new committee's president, reportedly said. "If we decided to sit this out and be purists on this thing, it wouldn't change a thing other than help the other side."

"This allows us to directly advocate for defeat of these [Tea Party] candidates, instead of talking about defeat of issues. This is something we could not have done before" the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case, she said. Bond claims that only MoveOn has a larger list of left-wing voters' email addresses than CREDO.

CREDO Super PAC has taken in almost $1.2 million so far, according to the Federal Election Commission database.

Real estate investor Patricia Bauman, a Democracy Alliance member, has given $13,000 to CREDO Super PAC so far this year. Kieschnick, another Democracy Alliance member, has given $30,000 to the political committee since last year. Hollywood actresses and longtime Democratic donors Stockard Channing and Patricia Richardson (from TV's "Home Improvement") have each given $500 to the committee so far this year.

The super PAC has also retained a sleazy Marxist in Chicago as a consultant. The committee paid $50,417 to Strategic Consulting Group, the firm of convicted swindler and tax cheat Robert Creamer. An admitted fan of Saul Alinsky, Creamer has reportedly visited the Obama White House close to 60 times since he got out of the hoosegow. In prison he wrote a book widely hailed by leftists that later served as a blueprint for Obamacare. Creamer, who is married to socialist congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), also used to be a lobbyist for Soros's Open Society Institute.

The busy Ms. Bond is also on the board of the Alinsky-inspired New Organizing Institute (NOI), a Soros-funded school for community organizers. The nonprofit created something called the Candidate Project to recruit candidates for city councils, school boards, state legislatures, and local commissions.

These are "the battlefields where life-changing issues are constantly being tested and decided under our noses," according to NOI. "There are more than half a million local elected offices outside of the Washington gridlock -- that's more than 500,000 ways to influence whether government serves the 99% or just the 1%."

Maybe Bond has embraced new political vehicles because those who tilt to port no longer need the Secretary of State Project. After all, the dirty work of the Left is already being done on the taxpayer dime.

Attorney General Holder's minions are doing everything in their power to ignore wrongdoing on the Left. Their failure to pursue truncheon-wielding New Black Panther Party members who tried to intimidate Philadelphia voters in 2008 is just one example. They are also opening elections to massive voter fraud. Even after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana's voter ID law the Department of Justice has blocked eminently reasonable voter ID laws in Texas and South Carolina.

Those statutes are racist and discriminatory, according to the Obama administration.

But in reality they are something quite different. Such laws might be the only things that prevent Democrats from stealing the election this November.

Bias in new vote-counting system? National security concerns also raised

An internationally-headquartered company, SCYTL, is now taking over online U.S. voting systems.

The company has previously faced questions about the security of its electronic voting technologies, which are now set to be deployed in 900 U.S. jurisdictions.

The firm already provides balloting for overseas U.S. military and civilian voting in nine states plus elections technologies in several districts.

Concerns have also been raised about SCYTL’s ties to the Spanish government and to international venture capital firms.

The Drudge Report previously ran a feature entitled, “Foreign company buys U.S. election results reporting firm.” The article documented that SCYTL, based in Barcelona, acquired 100% of SOE Software, the leading software provider of election management solutions in the United States.

The official press release announcing the acquisition noted that SCYTL is a portfolio company of leading international venture capital funds Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital and Spinnaker.

National security concerns

With the purchase of SOE Software, meanwhile, SCYTL has increased its involvement in the U.S. elections process. SOE Software boasts a strong U.S. presence, providing results in over 900 jurisdictions.

In 2009, SCYTL formally registered with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (AEC) as the first Internet voting manufacturer in the U.S. under the EAC Voting System Testing and Certification Program.

Also that year, SCYTL entered into an agreement with another firm, Hart InterCivic, to jointly market a flexible and secure electronic pollbook purportedly to allow U.S. election officials and poll-workers to easily manage the electoral roll on Election Day in an efficient and convenient manner.

SCYTL’s ePollBookTM already replaced the paper precinct roster in Washington, DC.

During the midterm elections in November 2010, SCYTL successfully carried out electoral modernization projects in 14 States. The company boasted that a “great variety” of SCYTL’s technologies were involved in these projects, including an online platform for the delivery of blank ballots to overseas voters, an Internet voting platform and e-pollbook software to manage the electoral roll at the polling stations.

The states that used SCYTL’s technologies during the Midterms were New York, Texas, Washington, California, Florida, Alabama, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, Nebraska, West Virginia and Washington DC.

Just prior to the midterm’s however, the new electronic voting system in Washington, DC was hacked.

As a program security trial, the D.C. Board of Elections & Ethics reportedly encouraged outside parties to hack and find flaws in its new online balloting system. A group of University of Michigan students then hacked into the site and commanded it to play the University of Michigan fight song upon casting a vote.

This is not the first time SCYTL’S systems have been called into question

Voter Action, an advocacy group that seeks elections integrity in the U.S., sent a lengthy complaint to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission in April 2010 charging the integration of SCYTL systems “raises national security concerns.”

“Foreign governments may also seek to undermine the national security interests of the United States, either directly or through other organizations,” Voter Action charged.

The document notes that SCYTL was founded in 2001 as a spin-off from a research group at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, which was partially funded by the Spanish government’s Ministry of Science and Technology.

SCYTL’s headquarters are in Barcelona with offices in Washington, D.C., Singapore, Bratislava and Athens.

The company provides voter services worldwide, including in France, Norway, Spain, India, the United Arab Emirates, Austria, Australia, Britain, Mexico, Switzerland, Philippines and Finland.

Project Vote noted that in 2008, the Florida Department of State commissioned a review of SCYTL’s remote voting software and concluded, in part, that:

. The system is vulnerable to attack from insiders.

· In a worst case scenario, the software could lead to (1) voters being unable to cast votes; (2) an election that does not accurately reflect the will of the voters; and (3) possible disclosure of confidential information, such as the votes cast by individual voters.

· The system may be subject to attacks that could compromise the integrity of the votes cast.

With research by Brenda J. Elliott – Klein Online

NOTE: An earlier edition of this article identified the venture capital firm that invested in SCYTL as the emerging markets investment management firm, Spinnaker Capital Group. The actual SCYTL investor is another company with a similar name, the Spanish venture capital firm Spinnaker SCR. Neither Spinnaker Capital Group nor its director, Bob McCarthy, are associated with SCYTL.

2012: Obama has convinced us?… First GOP Presidential Debate Tonight

Tonight at 9p ET on Fox Cable News, GOP hopefuls Ron Paul, Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain and Gary Johnson will square off in the first Republican presidential debate of 2012. So, what issue are you most looking forward to hearing the candidates’ positions on?  Shows that GOP field is fart from set!  GOP debate countdown begins in South Carolina.  Many of the GOP candidates have not officially  thrown their hats in the ring and others opted to skip the SC Debate, angering may SC’ers.

We are not members of the Republican Party - local, state, or national (although we have been, in the past). Nor do we financially support the various national Republican organizations. We decided long ago to support only individual candidates, since the national organizations have a disappointing habit of supporting liberal candidates.

In 2008, we cast our ballot for Sarah Palin, despite the fact the John McCain was the Presidential candidate. Since then, we have consistently said we would never again vote for a liberal GOP candidate like McCain.

But the longer we watch the Marxist reign of Barack Hussein Obama II, the more we realize that the 2012 Presidential election may be unique. We are beginning to believe that the next national election will decide whether or not the United States of America remains a Constitutional Republic.

We do not want our America to melt into the murky darkness, as so many declining nation-states have done, and are doing. We'd prefer to see elected officials who are citizen-servants, rather than elitist political-class rulers. We'd rather see a limited Federal government, which our Founders envisioned. We'd like to see many Federal departments and programs curtailed or abolished. We'd rejoice over a balanced budget, reduced debt, and relaxed regulation. Obama and his minions seem to hold the polar opposite view.

During what surely will be a rigorous Republican Presidential primary campaign, we will support Constitutional conservatives. We will politely and respectfully point out the policy deficiencies of liberal Republicans, sometimes referred to as "RINOs" (Republican In Name Only). And you can count on us to continually deride the progressive, anti-American policies of the Obama Regime.

But in November 2012, we will vote for the victorious GOP candidate, whoever that is, because we are convinced that this nation cannot survive a second Obama term.

Special thanks to @jjmnolte for inspiring these thoughts.

** I read and review dozens, if not more, articles and videos per day.  The Progressive Machine is in full swing and they have a slush fund of money before even starting their fund raising for Election 2012, which from the last election we know was not played by the rules.  We also know that the media will do their bidding.  So it is up to each of us to do our part!  We need to volunteer, support, donate to and promote the candidate we want in the primary… but no matter what or who is the final GOP choice, unless you want another 4-years of Barack Obama and the end of the American Dream… the end of the American Experiment, we then need to pull together for that person… the GOP candidate.  We also need to be involved at the polls and in counting the votes plus insisting on recounts and even another ballot if there are problems.

I also heard a expert John Hogue last night, who has made accurate predictions for decades, say that nothing is set in stone.

Obama can be beaten… and it is the GOP’s, the tea party’s, conservative and independent America’s and patriotic concerned American’s, of all races, creed, color and religion, to lose or win.  We all have one job between now and November 2012… to save the country we love!

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN

0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA

28% on profit from ALL home sales.  (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN

15% (no change)

OBAMA

39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN

(no changes)


 

Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!


 

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN

- 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA

Restore the inheritance tax

Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA

New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet.  New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)  New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

The freedom and right to vote is cherished and envied by people in many parts of the world, yet most Americans don’t vote or vote for people or propositions they don’t understand and haven’t researched… which is almost worse than not voting at all.  Be informed. So your homework.  Don’t let them media or uninformed friends and associates lead you to the wrong decision!!  Voting is one of the blessings of being an American.  Getting the information to make an informed choice is one of the responsibilities of being an American.  ...Ask Marion at the Daily Thought Pad
