Obama simply wants to roll back the tax cuts to what they were during the Clinton years - leading to a tax cut for 95% of Americans and 98% of small businesses. Scream about socialism all you want - by this logic, we were a socialist country during the 90s, one of the most economically prosperous times in American history. Beyond that, you've been listening to too many robocalls and reading too many GOP and 527 mailers. Obama's mother was a white woman born and raised in Kansas. She was a United States citizen. Second, you've succeeded in contradicting yourself. Obama was born in 1961, two years after Hawaii achieved statehood. "It take 7 years to become a citizen?" Not if you were born in the United States, which Barack Obama AND his mother both were. If you're going to bring this up, it might interest you to know that John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which is a hell of a lot more nebulous than being born in an actual state. If Obama's "citizenship" were an issue, it would have been investigated and Obama wouldn't be running. None of that has happened, but I'm sure you'll just take the easy way out and moan about the liberal media glossing over it. Quit grasping at straws and spreading misinformation. And what "failed program" are you talking about? Social Security? Yeah, that's the answer, let's dismantle social security when the economy is cratering and people are losing their retirement.

Beyond that, you’ve been listening to too many robocalls and reading too many GOP and 527 mailers. Obama’s mother was a white woman born and raised in Kansas. She was a United States citizen.

The state became a state in 1959 he was born in 1961 it take 7 years to become a citizen. Only born citizens can hold that office. But I am going to guess that you ether want to pay 50% of your hard earned money to a program taken fro ether FDR that failed of Carter that also failed . Or you are one of the ones who will receive the funds. Ether way it is of no consequences'. Homeland security is going to get the LA tape and that will bar him no mater what lies he uses to get in. We will not have a President that has ties to domestic and foreign terrorists . I also know you do NOT raise taxes and spend more when the dollar is down. You cut both to increase economy that creates job that creates revenue that gains the stock market. that is how it is done. You also don't go after a a union base industry. The Coal miners don't like it when you say you are going to bankrupt them and the towns they live and raise their families'.

You can find it here: http://nicegreekboy.wordpress.com/2008/09/29/on-the-ground-in-a-swing-state-paranoia-in-apache-junction/ I wrote about the level of paranoia that some people in the state seem to have, but don't let that scare you. I would absolutely encourage taking part in this; there's no more effective way to get through to someone than by talking to them face to face. Good luck! Indeed I have. You can find it here:

The British learn French, the Australians study Japanese, and the Americans prefer Spanish. Why not decide on a common language, taught worldwide, in all nations? It is totally relevant then, that UNESCO will meet in Paris, on 15th December, to acknowlege Esperanto, as a living language, in conjunction with the International Year of Languages An interesting video can be seen at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670.

Given that most states do not require photo ID at the poling place, it is extremely easy for someone to use a phony registration to vote. When dealing with absentee ballots the problem is magnified because there is no ID beyond the ballot envelope which is separated from the ballot. The actual ballot becomes untraceable and is therefore counted as valid. That in a nutshell is the problem with ACORN registration practices.
