Subject: A constitutional Convention is up to you...if you care for an America that works, LLOYD
I have written my state reps to ask them to draft the wording for a Constitutional Convention, and aside from this 28th Amendment proposal (below), I want a 29th. Amendment to our Constitution: One-term-for-life amendment in the federal house or senate.
Our federal representatives are being extorted with "If you don't vote the way we want you to...." by unions of all stripes and being paid for by other special interests groups. It is time to get the citizen back into doing their civic duties: Two years in the house in your lifetime; 6 years in the senate. We already have limits on the Office of the President so I can see no reason for not imposing them on the federal legislative bodies.
I’m fatigued with modest income representatives being elected to office only to see them retire as millionaires - how'd that happen folks? Examples: Clinton and Obama a soon-to-be-zillionaire. The name list is endless, it includes scores of those from all parties.
But YOU have to bang on the doors of your state's General Assemblies to get that ball rolling. 28th amendment not withstanding and a 29th.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
So what do you think? Is this a good idea?

Who cared about the history of the Crusades before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks? History buffs, I suppose. If you were like me, your history classes barely scratched the surface on why the Crusades were waged.
My knowledge of the Crusades, after graduating from high school, was easily summed up in one paragraph. When Osama bin Laden described the United States' war on terrorists as a new crusade against Islam, I decided to revisit the subject. After some research, I thought I had a better understanding of the Crusades, and moved on to other subjects.
In a sound-bite world, a crusade quickly became a term freely used by both sides to resurrect past conflicts between two world religions. In the popular view, when I was growing up, the Crusaders were the good guys. Living in the West had something to do with that, I'm sure. The rationale was that the Crusaders spread the word of God and saved souls from Satan's minions, the Muslims.
My view changed, as the years went by, to the opinion the Crusaders invaded a peaceful Muslim society more advanced than their own. Their purpose was to loot, take land and force their religion on to those they subjugated. I saw them as opportunists jumping on an imperialistic bandwagon called the Catholic Church.

For a portrait in corruption we need go no further than U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman’s blatant backing for more oil drilling immediately…
Feldman struck down government's moratorium on deepwater drilling
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman’s disclosure report, which covers investments for 2009, shows he owned eight energy-related investments including stock in Exxon Mobil Corp.
However, in an attachment to the report, the judge said he sold his Exxon Mobil stock this June when he was hearing the oil spill case.
In last year's disclosure report, Feldman owned up to 16 energy-related investments.
Among the assets sold was stock in Transocean, the Switzerland-based company that owned the drilling rig operated by BP that is now spewing oil into the Gulf.
President Obama may be a nice guy, but he’s proving to be a phony in many ways. This collusion with lobbyists leads back to Day One when you look at how many lobbyists he appointed to prime positions in his government.
Coffee shops used for discreet lobbyist meetings
Meetings outside the White House avoid official visitor registration
Here’s how business is really done in the Obama administration:
“Here at the Caribou on Pennsylvania Avenue, and a few other nearby coffee shops, White House officials have met hundreds of times over the last 18 months with prominent K Street lobbyists — members of the same industry that President Obama has derided for what he calls its “outsized influence” in the capital.”
Here’s what’s happening:
“But because the discussions are not taking place at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they are not subject to disclosure on the visitors’ log that the White House releases as part of its pledge to be the “most transparent presidential administration in history.”
Obama’s disconnect with the public:
“The off-site meetings, lobbyists say, reveal a disconnect between the Obama administration’s public rhetoric — with Mr. Obama himself frequently thrashing big industries’ “battalions” of lobbyists as enemies of reform — and the administration’s continuing, private dealings with them.
This ought to be interesting. We’ve been hearing about financial reform for over a year now.
The question now is, what are the details? Is it really something that’s going to change the way business is done on Wall Street? Color me suspicious:
The Bill represents biggest rewrite of Wall Street rules since Great Depression

Go here for a list of the top 10 moronic mutterings from politicians worldwide.
My favorite is the following from George W. Bush (pictured here trying to concentrate while someone asks him a question!):
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." – Washington, D.C., August 5, 2004 – George W. Bush.

Famous people's final words should be, well, famous. But since most people don't know which words will be their last, those final utterances can be revealing, touching or just odd.
Here’s the reported last words of some memorable people, from George Washington to Bob Marley to Princess Diana.
I suspect my last words will be similar to this old goat’s!
Winston Churchhill
Claim to fame: Considered one of history's greatest wartime leaders and statesmen as Britain's Prime Minister during World War II. (See photos) (Read some of his quotes)
Last words: "I'm bored with it all."

When I went to school in the fifties and early sixties, paddling was a common form of punishment. I know this because I became acquainted with the practice by fourth grade. Teachers nationwide served up that dreaded “Board of Education” routinely in those days.
After I grew up, and got married and had three sons, the subject of paddling in school never came up. Not that my boys were goodie two-shoes who never got in trouble. They just never went to a school where paddling was permitted.
The state of California, where they went to school, outlawed corporal punishment in schools back in 1986. To my surprise, I recently learned there are still 20 states where it's legal for teachers to paddle their students.
Further research revealed that we are one of the few countries in the world to allow such treatment. Over 100 countries, including Canada, Australia, the countries of Western Europe and the U.K. outlawed corporal punishment decades ago.
It's not like we don't have organizations that oppose corporal punishment in schools. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the American Civil Liberties Union have all fought for years to get the practice banned nationwide.
For the first time in nearly two decades, Congress held hearings in April on the use of corporal punishment in schools. As a result of those hearings, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) will introduce a bill in the House this month to deny federal funding to schools that allow corporal punishment.
UPDATE:
From: Nadine A. Block, Executive Director, Center for Effective Discipline and co-chair of EPOCH-USA
Thanks for the nice article informing the public that the “board of education” is still a problem in the U.S. Representative McCarthy’s aide says the bill will be going to the Education and Labor Committee shortly!

Stonehenge is best-known, but not only, place to fete the sun.
At sunrise on the Northern Hemisphere's longest day of the year — the summer solstice thousands of modern-day druids, pagans and partiers gather in the countryside near Salisbury, England, to cheer as the first rays of light stream over a circular arrangement of stones called Stonehenge. The original purpose of the ancient monument remains a source of academic debate. The large stones erected about 4,000 years ago are aligned with the summer solstice sunrise, leading scholars to suggest a link to an ancient sun-worshipping culture.

A bill to tax medical marijuana like tobacco is scheduled for hearings by the State Senate Revenue & Taxation Comittee next Wednesday, June 23rd.
The bill, SBX6 -16 by Sen. Ronald Calderon of Montebello, would tax all sales of cannabis (except wholesale-level distribution to collectives or cooperatives) at a rate equal to the tobacco products tax rate.
Sen. Calderon's office has been evasive about discussing the bill and has not returned phone calls from medical marijuana proponents.
Patient advocates strongly oppose taxing medical marijuana. "We cannot support taxes on medical marijuana at present inflated black-market prices," stated California NORML in opposition to the bill. "Many patients are poor and living on disability. Until current laws are changed to clearly recognize the legality of cannabis sales, any tax proposals are highly premature and unwarranted. "
The provisions of SBX6 16 lack basic understanding of cannabis, which is dissimilar to tobacco both in its health effects and how it is marketed. Tobacco is taxed by the cigarette, while cannabis is sold by weight, making it difficult to make sense of the bill's mandate that they be taxed "at the same rate."
Because SBX6 -16 is a tax bill, it requires a 2/3 majority for passage. Opponents are hopeful that they can defeat the bill in committee. Medical marijuana supporters are urged to contact the committee in opposition to SBX6-16.
Committee Chair: Sen. Lois Wolk (D-Davis). Members: Sen. Elaine Alquist (D-San Jose); Mimi Walters (R-Laguna Niguel); Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield); and Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima).
Cal NORML letter of opposition:
Dear Sen. Wolk:
As co-sponsors of Prop. 215, we wish to state our objections to SBX6 16, the proposed "Cannabis Tax Law" (Sen. Calderon).
Until current laws are modified to clarify the legality of sale of medical cannabis, any such proposal is premature. At present, the legal status of medical marijuana sales and distribution remains hazy and disputed. Whereas some localities have recognized legal sales of medical marijuana through licensed dispensaries, others have not. Some legal authorities, including the city attorney and D.A. of Los Angeles, insist that such sales are flatly illegal, and many distributors continue to experience raids and arrest by local police. Until this uncertainty is resolved and conditions for legal sale firmly established in state law, the state lacks clear authority to demand taxes. In addition, the voters will be considering a "Tax and Regulate" initiative this November that could substantially change state laws on marijuana.
We cannot support taxes on medical marijuana at present inflated black-market prices. Many patients are poor and living on disability. It is hard to justify a special tax on one kind of medicine but not on others. SBX6 16 would create a two-tier system, in which lawful marijuana for medical use would be taxed, but illicit non-medical marijuana would not. The effect of this would be to encourage illegal, non-medical production.
SBX6 16 fails to set forth a coherent taxation scheme for cannabis. The scheme for tobacco taxation set forth in Revenue & Taxation Code Sections 31001ff does not work for marijuana. Tobacco is taxed by the cigarette, whereas marijuana is sold by weight. Logically, any taxation system for marijuana should also be scaled to the weight content of its major active ingredient, THC. Because of its minimal production costs, any taxes on marijuana should be established at a fixed excise rate, not as a percentage of price or revenues, since the latter could easily plummet by an order of magnitude in a true legal market. For in-depth analysis, see my paper on the "Economics of Cannabis Legalization," at www.canorml.org/ background/mjeconomics.html.
We urge the committee to reject SBX6 16 as ill-considered and premature.
Sincerely, Dale Gieringer, Director, California NORML
BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONSHIPS - As a Laker fan since they moved to LA, this is one of the sweetest playoff games I ever saw them win! Beating the hated Boston Celtics in a Game 7 has never happened before. Up till now all four Game 7’s between the two storied franchises in their history, had gone to the Celtics. The real MVPs of the game were Ron Artest and Pau Gasol, but Kobe got the award based upon the whole series.
Winning this series against the Celtics makes up for the Finals two years ago when the Celtics beat the Lakers. This time, the Lakers weren’t bullied by the Bean Town Boys, and actually roughed them up in a decidedly ugly game.

The Democrats are are sure to make hay in November with remarks like what Texas Rep. Joe Barton said when he called the deal with Obama and BP ($20 Billion for restitution) a “shakedown.”
He isn't alone in the GOP. There’s more than one Republican who wants to stay cozy with Big Oil and keep the rewards rolling. Barton (photo right) managed to piss off influential Republican leaders concerned about the November elections and was forced to backtrack from his own stupid statement.
What disgusts me is how these cheesy politicians try to put a spin on BP being a good business partner! What a laugh! The corrupt, and incestuous relationship between BP (and other big oil companies) with our lawmakers is like a cancer that keeps spreading. But how to stop it? Look at their gall. They’re already playing “poor me” because a private industry has to pay for it’s destruction of the Mexican Gulf Coast.
Before we know it they’ll be back drilling in deep waters. All we can do is watch our fragile coastlines deteriorate while the fat cats line their pockets with black gold from the blue sea.

I don’t know what alternative universe this McKay clown lives in. It’s certainly not the real world that the rest of us exist in. When I hear remarks like this, I know BP is not only piling on the propaganda, their executives are clueless or just outright liars that can’t see how ineffective they’ve been.
Excerpt:
“12:28 p.m.: A BP executive said at a hearing Tuesday that his company's underwater spill response has been "pretty effective."
"I understand everyone's frustration with how long this is taking, but the spill response has actually been pretty effective in terms of dealing with it underwater," BP America President Lamar McKay said. "It's unfortunate we can't get it stopped at the source right now; we're doing everything we can to do that."
At the same time, other oil executives acknowledged that none of them are prepared to handle such a situation if it happens to them.”

This month's Car and Driver magazine, of all places, asks a question that I think I can answer.

And the answer is ... No. We can't.
"You are just another unconscionable liberal who would take us back to the Stone Ages," a reader wrote to me last week after I brought up the treasonous notion of raising taxes on gas.
"I highly detest people like you thinking you know better than I do how I should live!" wrote another.
"It is a good thing people with your mind-set were not counted on to build this country," said another.
There's more, but you get the gist. It's as if I'd ordered my comrades, formerly known as Americans, to herewith go to and fro across our land of plenty only in horse-drawn wagons.
What I'd actually said was we should gradually raise the federal tax on gas by a penny per month, for 10 years. It's a way to use less oil over time, to jump-start alternative energy and to raise money to start paying down the ballooning federal debt.

Muslim terrorists' favorite American target is New York. No offense to its residents, but you couldn't pay me to live there. I'm a firm believer in the law of averages and when I heard about yet another terrorist attack, my suspicions were confirmed.
Since 9/11, the city has been a recruitment poster for every Muslim extremist in the world. Faisal Shahzad, 30, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, recently left a car bomb in Times Square that didn't go off.
My concern all along has been “sleeper cells” of terrorists in our country. I've often wondered how terrorists get into the U.S. I'm sure some are born here or come into the country legally, and like Shahzad, become U.S. citizens.
I discovered that some terrorists are actually invited into our country because of international politics. Sound crazy? Before I explain, let's define a Presidential Memorandum:
