Extractions: West Salem Coulee News: Feingold visits area to hear citizen's concerns Russ fights to provide quality and affordable health care for families and businesses , by supporting a "patients' bill of rights" to guarantee patients access to quality health care and protection from unfair insurance claim denials. He has introduced legislation to bring Wisconsin's fair share of federal Medicare dollars back to the state and to help small businesses provide quality health care to their employees, and supports efforts to provide seniors with a prescription drug benefit guaranteed by Medicare. Read about Senator Feingold's comprehensive proposal to provide quality health care for all Americans Russ works hard to protect Wisconsin jobs from being lost to unfair foreign competition, by opposing poorly crafted trade agreements such as GATT and NAFTA, by introducing legislation to require the federal government to buy American-made goods, and by working to eliminate tax breaks for US companies that manufacture goods overseas. Russ fights to cut spending and has been honored by the bipartisan Concord Coalition and Taxpayers for Common Sense for his efforts to eliminate the federal deficit while protecting Social Security and Medicare. He has been recognized by the National Taxpayers Union as the ONLY senator to have an agenda that actually cut federal spending.

The aversion to Bush, at home and abroad, makes us forget how many people support this spokesman for another America sure of its superiority and its values. by Tom Frank New York Times -reading, body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left- wing freak show" who had no business trying to talk to the plain folk of Iowa. The commercial was sponsored by the Club for Growth, a Washington-based organisation dedicated to hooking up pro-business rich people with pro-business politicians. The organisation is made up of anti-government economists, prominent men of means, and big thinkers of the late New Economy, celebrated geniuses of the sort that spent the past 10 years describing the low-tax, deregulated economy as though it were the second coming of Christ. In other words, the people who thought they saw Jesus in the ever-ascending Nasdaq, the pundits who worked himself into a lather singing the praises of new billionaires, the economists who made a living by publicly insisting that privatisation and deregulation were the mandates of history itself, are now running television commercials denouncing the "elite".
A Proposed Voting System Alternative: Multiple-Selection, Winner-Take-All
Our current system of voting in the united states often leaves us witha choice between just two candidates when we would rather have more.
http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~croft/research/government/approval/voting.html

Extractions: This proposal is for a "multiple-selection, winner-take-all" voting system as an alternative to our current voting system, which I call "single-selection, winner-take-all". The voting system that I am proposing would allow a voter to vote for more than one candidate for a particular office. Just as it is now, the single candidate that receives the most votes would win the elected office without power-sharing. This idea was inspired by the Clinton-Bush-Perot Presidential race and the rise of the Libertarian Party. Assume you have a race with candidates representing the hypothetical political parties "West", "East", and "North". The West and East parties vehemently disagree on everything. The North Party shares a fair number of ideological principles and common interests with both of the other parties on different issues. In a hypothetical election where the voters could only select one candidate, 45% of the voters would choose Mr. West

Extractions: Inside A U.S. Election Vote Counting Program The story you are about to read is in this writer's view the biggest political scandal in American history, if not global history. And it is being broken today here in New Zealand. This story cuts to the bone the machinery of democracy in America today. Democracy is the only protection we have against despotic and arbitrary government, and this story is deeply disturbing. Imagine if you will that you are a political interest group that wishes to control forevermore the levers of power. Imagine further that you know you are likely to implement a highly unpopular political agenda, and you do not wish to be removed by a ballot driven backlash. One way to accomplish this outcome would be to adopt the Mugabe (Zimbabwe) or Hun Sen (Cambodia) approach. You agree to hold elections, but simultaneously arrest, imprison and beat your opponents and their supporters. You stuff ballot boxes, disenfranchise voters who are unlikely to vote for you, distort electoral boundaries and provide insufficient polling stations in areas full of opposition supporters.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution

Extractions: Completed on September 17 , and later ratified by special conventions in each of the original thirteen American states, the Constitution of the United States represents the supreme law of the United States of America and is the oldest comprehensive written national constitution on Earth still in force. It has served as a model for a number of other nations' constitutions. It created a more unified government in place of what was then a group of independent states operating under the Articles of Confederation Many scholars have noted the relatively small number of amendments to the Constitution. Some of them attribute this to the simplicity of the Constitution and its flexibility, as it is continually reinterpreted by the courts. Others, however, believe that demographic shifts have given too much power to smaller states, thereby stifling what they contend is needed reform. Currently, one-quarter of the states can block an amendment. The United States has 50 states, so this means that the 13 smallest states (representing as little as 4% of the national population) could block an amendment desired by the remaining 37 states (representing as much as 96% of the national population). While such an extreme outcome is unlikely, it is nevertheless constitutionally possible.
