Subject: Narcisse Video is Live... Re: Meet Jonathan Narcisse - Iowan for Governor
To:
Hello,
The 60+ minutes of Jonathan Narcisse's discussion with SuperLiberty.com meetup members this past Friday in Davenport, was video taped and is now available in 7 parts, beginning with part 1 at:
http://www.youtube.com/user/QCAToday#p/u/0/5gTLGQZn7zE
He discusses his controversial history with the Des Moines School board, his coverage in the Des Moines Register, corruption he has exposed within the Des Moines School board, how a Narcisse administration would apply zero based budgeting to eliminate non-essential services not provided for in the Iowa state constitution, how Iowa businesses can zero out their corporate tax liabilities by doing business with fellow Iowans, and how reducing taxes should be in line with reducing spending... that's just in the first clip...
This registered Democrat, running as an independent, strikes some extremely pragmatic chords in these clips, devoid of cliche partisan campaign rhetoric, providing details of how a Narcisse administration would cut 10,000 jobs in the state government, utilize the veto authority to curb useless spending, ensure transparency in his administration with live webcasts of the governor's meetings with lobbyists and legislators, and more...

Groveling to Grassley
Mon, 06/07/2010 - 17:33 | Add new comment
Here's the list of special interest groups Grassley is meeting with in the next week (pasted in below, from a memo from his staff)... the ones that they are telling us about... at least his office is issuing something to go by... it would be a full time job to keep up with all these folks seeking special dispensation from our oligarchy... wait, he has a huge staff to help him with all this, millions paid for by you and me and our future generations.. what a vicious circle... right before our eyes... i know this is not anything new... but i guess i have rarely noticed the level of detail here...
If the Congress stuck to its enumerated authority, it would not have the wherewithall to even hand out any loot to any of these groups, thus there'd be no meetings to be had... it's time to quit gifting from the treasury in order to maintain the welfare and warfare state... the cycle must be broken.

Update:
How can a congress person possibly keep up with all these meetings?
What would you do with a $2.4 million dollar staffing budget?
Think you'd figure out a way to have a staff around you to keep you in power for decades with that kind of financing?
Here's Chuck's staffing, travel, ear marks and more...
http://www.legistorm.com/member/45/Sen_Charles_Ernest_Grassley.html
His top staffer is making over $167,000 annually...
http://www.legistorm.com/person/David_Edmund_Young/2508.html
you can drill down on each staffer's disclosure forms too... see what kind of stocks they own...and where they have a mortgage... Edmunds has a mortgage for property worth $500K-$1M in DC... no wonder they need such high salaries...

Iowa Attorney General Letter on Health Care Reform

From: "AG Webteam"
To:
Received: 08 Apr, 10 4:25:15 PM
I want to thank you for taking the time to contact me concerning the
Health Insurance Reform Act. There are strong views both favoring and
opposing this landmark legislation. We have received many inquiries,
like yours, about the position of this office on the constitutionality
of the act and whether we would join a minority group of state attorneys
general who are challenging the statute.
We have taken a close look at the act and the constitutional issues
raised in the lawsuit by several attorneys general. Simply put, the
arguments are extremely weak. The health reform bill is clearly
constitutional. Here's why:
First, the argument is raised claiming that Congress does not have the
authority to create a mandate that everyone must have health insurance
because a person refusing to buy health insurance is not engaged in
interstate commerce. However, the United States Supreme Court long ago
ruled that Congress has the power to regulate a matter that is involved
in or affects interstate commerce. This principle of constitutional law
goes back to the classic 1942 case involving the Ohio wheat farmer who
claimed that federal grain marketing quotas could not be applied to him
because all the wheat he grew was used on his own farm. The Supreme
Court said "no" and concluded that his production affected interstate
commerce and could be regulated by Congress.
It is very difficult to deny that health care does not affect
interstate commerce. For example, when people do not have health
insurance and end up receiving expensive treatment in an emergency room,
then all the rest of us end up paying for it, to the tune of billions of

Glenn Beck is a Stain | Iowans Talk Medina in Texas

Beck shot her down today, because she would not admit or deny being a 9-11 truther.
He is either in denial himself or he repeats the issue over & over with lots of double meaning (wink, wink) commentary, to get listeners to dig for more info themselves. Which ever, I doubt his opinion has much influence over her chances. Plenty of listeners were probably just as impressed as I was, with her. KJo

Glen Beck is a stain of a human being.

He and his giggling gaggle of bi-partisan boot licking psychophants slamming her after she gets off the call are abominable.
I don't know Debra Medina from Adam... but I do know several Texans who i respect and they support her.
There's different clips out there of the interview... the link above has the first 10 mins, including Beck's set up where he trashes Kay Bailey Hutchison... (and then lauds her minutes later after he doesn't jive with Medina's answer to a 911 Truther smear question)...

Writing in Ron Paul?
Sun, 10/19/2008 - 20:22 | 4 comments
A friend emailed me a very good question: ... what states can you write in Ron Paul?
Here is a chart on states' write in rules (disclaimer: not sure this is 100%, please check your own state's rules)
http://mfoster.com/misc/write-in_rules_2008.html
This blogger i read often says writing in does not make a statement or an impact that is measurable, because most states won't even report the write ins.
