Subject: FCF: The Will of the People
( I have been sitting here, stewing in my own juices, as I do every day
at this time. When the new Congress is called into session in Jan., and
the new lunatics start throwing their bills out onto the floor to rid us
of the Electoral College, I'd like to see some brave ( < insert laughter
here > ) Senator add an amendment to any and all of the bills to abolish
the Senate. The Senate and the Electoral College are based on the same
premis...each gives the smaller states equal representation in the
political process. If the politicians are willing to strip the smaller
states of equal representation in one area, they should be willing to go
the whole hog and strip them of their equal representation in the
Senate.)

The Will of the People
by Lisa S. Dean
>From the "Endangered Liberties" Television Program
As God is my witness I take not one ounce of satisfaction in
exercising my "I told you so" rights. I only wish I did not have
to do so because if ever there was a time that I wanted to be
wrong, it is now.
I am talking about the threat to our liberties which is being
enacted on the national stage right now as the troops of Albert
Gore Jr. prepare to march forward to win an election they know
they had lost. That they can do so with a straight face is a
tribute to what they have managed to get away with over the past
eight years. The fact is if they succeed in getting another four
years it will be because they know you don't care.
You let them take your neighbor's property and you did nothing
about it because you didn't think it impacted your life. You let
them speak in pious tones about campaign finance reform while at
the same time they disgracefully turned our sacred White House
into Motel 1600 in exchange for cash contributions for not only
Bill and Al but now even Hillary because it didn't impact your
life. You sat by when they developed methods to monitor your
electronic communications and to expand their eavesdropping
capability and authority to include innocent citizens'
conversations because they just happen to live in the same
neighborhood as a suspect, and when we asked you to shout at
members of Congress to investigate, your voices could barely be
heard above a whimper, because you didn't want to believe that
your government would spy on you.
You closed your eyes when they made illegal land deals to benefit
the Riady Group in Indonesia to the detriment of our coal
industry in this country and didn't see how it impacted you.
You blinked when they made sensitive computers and then weaponry
available to the Communist Chinese government while taking in
money from Chinese business front groups to aid their campaign,
but since you were benefiting from a strong economy, you didn't
care.
You closed your ears and didn't want to hear our warnings about
what they were doing to emasculate the Second Amendment, after
all, you didn't own a gun and didn't know anyone personally who
was being affected by it. You shielded your eyes so you would
not have to think about the implications of their violations of
the Fourth Amendment, the First Amendment, the Tenth Amendment.
You told yourself that Elian Gonzalez was, after all, not an
American and therefore the middle of the night raid on his
family's home wouldn't happen to one of us. You didn't want to
know the details of the spy systems known as ECHELON and
Carnivore lest you have to confront the reality of what the
government was going to its own citizens.
You said repeatedly that their actions wouldn't impact your
lives. Now you stand face to face with the truth of an election
being stolen piece by piece, precinct by precinct right before
your very eyes, an act that WILL impact your lives, that WILL
affect your families and friends, and now you have to believe
your government is doing this to YOU and you stand there helpless
because after all, you said nothing about their blatantly
unconstitutional acts over the past eight years, so what can you
possibly say now?
If you have to live with the consequences of a stolen election,
then don't all jump to blame Al Gore and his henchmen. Blame
yourselves because Al Gore has been honest with the American
people over the past eight years. He's shown them what he is and
what he stands for and what he will do to this country if elected
president. It's the American people who have not been honest
because they have refused to see him for what he is and for what
he has been a part of for the past eight years.
You have permitted lies, treason, blatant immorality and cheating
of the worst kind to take place and you didn't just tolerate it.
You cheered. You kept the Administration's ratings at an all time
high. And when the number two man in this team was challenged
largely on ethical grounds by Senator Bill Bradley, you helped
that team dispose of him as swiftly as possible.
If I sound upset, it's because I am. We have done our very best
to sound the alarm and we were scoffed at, so it does little good
now if we will have been proven right. A Republic cannot endure
without a constantly vigilant electorate who pays attention to
what is going on in its government. We used to have that in
America, but that was back when we had government of a size where
people could keep track of it. Forty years ago, that was the
case. It is no longer so. Perhaps this crisis is sufficient to
awaken people. But whether or not it is already too late, God
only knows.
