  • Election 2008: Do you know the hidden power of your vote? - Do you know most people use their voting rights totally wrong? What are your voting options at the 2008 election? Like many people, you got the idea once and a while that politicians have a short memory. Forget what you promised is like a disease called Alzheimer light. The thought comes often up in my mind; “Why should I vote next time?” Another option is a blanc protest vote. You demonstrate the unhappiness with the choice of candidates or current political system. A blanc vote you is a statement that you are involved. People who don't vote also give a sign of disinterest. Do you know how you’re vote really makes a difference? If you think you did your duty by voting at the local elections and the new president, you forgot the most powerful option.
  • 2008 Election: Real Information - This year's presidential election in the United States is likely to be the most important election in many of our lifetimes. This article isn't intended to convince you to vote one way or another but instead provide information on what changes and solutions each candidate supports without focusing on what doesn't matter which is what much of us see on traditional media.
  • Politics in the Media: Reading Between the Lines - A vast amount of information is being thrown at the American people at break neck speeds these days, with the election race being at the top of the agenda. One minute we're hearing about this senator, that senator, this mayor or that governor. The human brain is good, but it isn't that good. It quickly uses what's available which draws upon our individual experiences--our maps. It is now more critical than ever to learn how to adequately sort through all of the information and draw rational, sound conclusions allowing us to take decisive action.
  • A Student Government Election Made For TV - The Sequel - This day, May 6, 2008, I spot a front page headline in my local New Jersey paper, The Trenton Times that reads: Ewing H.S vote is void a second time. I had previously commented on my hometown high school's senior class elections in a prior post, so I read on. Seven students, one black and Hispanic, five black and one white, were barred from running in their senior class elections on April 23. The reason given was that the students had missed too many meetings for school activities and had not sufficiently participated in school fundraisers. In my previous post on this election, I commented that such requirements were unreasonable for a student election;
  • The Rite Of Sending And Election - As with the first Sunday of Lent, it is the time for the Right of Sending and the Rite of Election for members of the RCIA programs throughout the country.
  • Oil Drilling and the Election - So you think the politicians are pushing the Offshore Drilling idea because it is something that will make the price of gas go down? I guess you also believed that in the 2004 election, that this Administration was going to do something about Gay Marriage? The reality of what this Offshore drilling talk as ONLY about is a hot button issue to get people to vote a certain way. After they are in office do you think anyone is going to be so stupid as to drill for oil off the coasts of California or Florida? It is not going to happen! You have to understand that the price of oil is all about the market.

  • 2008 Election: One Woman, One Vote, One President? - As a self-professed political junkie, I have been rabidly following the 2008 Presidential primary season since, well, early 2007.
  • An Angry Democrat Speaks Out - If my party does not come to a fair decision which is inclusive to Florida and Michigan – I will no longer consider myself a member of the Democratic Party. Even thought I was raised a Democrat and raised my children as Democrats – I will turn my back on the party of my birth. Senator Obama is the one holding up the decision. Well, it is time for the two candidates to compromise on a decision and do it soon. Senator Clinton is willing to negotiate – why won’t you Senator Obama? Is it because you might lose your lead? Is this the cheap, unfair politics that you want to play?
  • Government by Auction - In the later half of the 1800s, as more and more money gathered in fewer and fewer pockets, bribery became an accepted political practice and the Free-Marketplace of Ideas became the Convenience-Store of Accumulation. Seats in the federal senate formed the pinnacle of this political aggregation. Those interested in national legislation toured the country buying senatorships for like-minded statesmen. Local legislative candidates, after pledging to support the “correct” senatorial aspirant, received financing for the graft, ballot-stuffing and intimidation essential to the successful late 1800's campaign.
  • Top 10 reasons why I should be the next VP candidate for McCain and the Republican ticket - An open letter to the Presidential candidate, Senator John McCain.
  • Do Republicans Have What It Takes To Keep America From Progress? - Fastforward; today is November 5, the popular vote has been registered, the people have spoken.
  • Rocking The Vote In 2008 - The story arc of Shades of Darkness, Shades of Grace covers five years and three elections. Set in Minnesota, home to the nation's highest voter turn-out, the Pierson family understands that voting is not a right but a privilege, and one they exercise regularly. With 2008 a presidential election year, readers of the novel might view Minnesota as an example for the rest of the country to follow. Nationally between 1960 and 2004, voter participation in presidential election years declined from 63.1% in 1960 to 55.3% in 2004. There were encouraging blips, as percentages rose between 2000 and 2004, from 51.3% to 55.3%. Still, that pales in comparison to Minnesota where a whooping 76.
  • The Peril of Keeping Candidate Faith On The Down-Low - Exactly what does Mitt Romney's public address reveal about the significance of candidate disclosure of faith? The American electorate cannot be expected to buy into the myth that a candidate's faith will not influence their electability. Platform and politics over prayer. Spin over spirit. Facts over faith. The electorate needs to reconsider its position in the coming season of elections, especially as it votes for the next President of the United States.
  • Violence Erupts In Zimbabwe - Human Rights Watch and other rights groups recently accused Zimbabwe’s army and President Robert Mugabe of unleashing “terror and violence” on dissenters of his 28-year regime. According to the Associated Press, Zimbabwe’s opposition party and its presidential candidate Morgan Tsvangirai have linked the recent surge in violence after last months presidential election to the security forces and “war veterans” that are loyal to Robert Mugabe. Mugabe’s regime blames the opposition party for the violence, which includes arresting scores of people, including women and their nursing babies, who had taken shelter from the violence at opposition headquarters in the capital city Harare. Mugabe has been accused of using violence and intimidation to sabotage the recent presidential election, which shows that Tsvangirai won the majority of the votes, but not the required 50 percent plus one needed to avoid a runoff.
  • Travel Insurance And Kenya’s Election – Your Rights - The recent Kenya elections have led to huge fallout in the country and beyond. When it was announced that President Mwai Kibaki had won the election by just 230,000 votes (out of 10,000,000 constituents) widespread political fury spread across the country – and violence broke out. Subsequently, all travel to the country was advised against, and a lot of people needed to claim on their global travel insurance, which was confusing given the unusual circumstances. I shall get to that later, but first a little background to the events surrounding the Kenya election.
  • Barack Obama: Seven Reasons He's The Right Choice - I'm voting for Barack Obama this November 4th for President of the United States. What follows in this article are 7 of the many reasons I am voting for Obama and not John McCain. 1. Obama was against the Iraq war from the start. Very few politicians had the integrity and the judgment to know that the Iraq war was a mistake before it began. John McCain certainly did not.
  • The Effect Of Spiritual Light On The Presidential Election - Spiritual light has to do with three central things, among others: 1) heightening the capacity for empathy and love and the desire to share love, 2) bringing into greater awareness a sense of truth and an increasing sense of what only masquerades as truth, 3) and enhancing the motivation of those holding greater light to adopt courses of action that are not self-seeking but that truly represent the welfare of a greater whole. There are other qualities of character and personal expression that are brought forward by the infusion of greater light – qualities such as gentleness, kindness, a willingness to listen, a lack of ego, a desire to share, a desire to comfort those in need.
  • A New Jersey Student Government Election Made For The Screen - This day, April 29, 2008, I spot a front page headline in my local New Jersey paper, The Trenton Times that reads: Students kept off ballot: District to explore race factor while rescheduling vote. Our local races for school board took place last week, so I thought this was an aftermath. I was wrong: It was a story about a high school student government election in Ewing, the town where I live. Seven students, one black and Hispanic, five black and one white, were barred from running in their senior class elections the previous week — and no one told them why. An assistant superintendent told the reporter in an e-mail that the decision to bar the candidates was based on a "procedural review" by the principal. The quote marks are from the assistant superintendent, not me.
  • Beware Of "Who Is Obama?" Email Hoax - Election fever (or malaise) is in the air, and with that comes the usual assortment of moronic emails. The latest grammatical atrocity begins: “Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice. If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scarey to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it. We checked this out on "snopes". It is factual. Check for yourself.” The message concludes with the usual, “Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!!” Observe the less-traditional “e-y” spelling of “scary,” courtesy of the braintrusts behind this dim-witted nonsense.
  • If Obama Wins, I Am Going To Buy Stocks - If the Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama, wins the Presidential election on November 4th, I'll be investing in the stock market on November 5th. Why? Because Democrats haven proven time and time again to be much better at leading the economy than Republicans have. The Democrats approach the economy from the perspective that every American deserves to prosper, while the Republicans approach it with the idea that the rich need to get richer and that somehow some of those riches will "trickle down" to the rest of us. This is more than just my opinion. It's also the opinion of Warren Buffet who is a strong supporter of Barack Obama.
  • Where To Look To Create A Florida S Corporation - The regular corporation who enjoys the “S Corporation” tax status is known as S corporation. So having a S corporation status means that it will not only enjoys the benefits of LLC or Limited-liability Corporation but also enjoys the tax benefits of partnership or sole proprietor. Rest of the regular corporation except S Corporation is known as C Corporation. This Corporation has to pay tax on business profit basis plus the owner has to individual income tax. S Corporation is free from this double taxation. Like any other tax return the profits in S corporation are filed according to owner’s personal tax return but it doesn’t have to have taxes on income from the business.
  • Panama: The Government - The government of Panama follows the patterns of presidential representative with three branches: the executive, legislative, and judiciary.
  • Why I Do No Care About The Price Of Corn - This is an article specifically about 2 very good ways to make money on the internet. I live in rural America and the price of crops never hurts my daily income. Neither does all of the other stuff going on in the presidential election or stock market. This is certainly exciting and possibly even depressing times to live in the United States of America. With the election less than two months away, and an economy that is letting people down left and right, there is never a dull moment from one day to the next.
  • Do You Vote? - A few days ago, I received the following email message (I've edited out the personal details): "Subject: Do You Vote?" "Hi Tony," "I apologize ahead of time if this is in any way beyond the boundaries of our communication..." "I don't usually get into discussions where people have such high emotions linked to their opinions on a topic." "But, I made the mistake last night when provoked about voting...
  • ACORN's Voter Fraud? - The right wing spin is that the organization called ACORN has registered many thousands of fake people who supposedly will somehow make real votes for Obama/Biden this fall. They are telling this lie in hopes of changing the subject from the economy and in hopes of continuing their ridiculous low road "guilt by association" slime ball attacks on Barack Obama. The truth is that ACORN is a group which tries to register real people (poor people) to vote. And the truth is this what the Republicans do not like. They know a majority of the over one million people that ACORN has registered to vote this year will be voting for Democrats.
  • S Corporation Tax Errors You Don't Want To Make - According to the Internal Revenue Service, S corporations now outnumber regular corporations and more than 350,000 new S corporations appear each year. The popularity of Subchapter S corporations shouldn't really surprise people, however. S corporations provide two big tax savings to small business owners. First, they typically don't pay federal or state corporate income taxes. And, second, S corporations often minimize the payroll taxes that S corporation shareholder-employees pay because only amounts the corporation designates as wages get taxed for Social Security and Medicare tax purposes.
  • Could You Answer Some Questions - Senator Obama, I thought I would write and ask a few questions about some things that just don't seem right to me. First, how did you manage to get Gov Richardson to give you his endorsement this week? As we both know, Gov. Richardson would not be in the position where he is today if it were not for President Clinton and Hillary Clinton. He held two prominent positions in the Clinton administration and the ex-president campaigned for the Gov. when he first ran for the governorship of New Mexico. So, my question is what did you promise Gov. Richardson in exchange for his endorsement? Some political deal must have been made. Did you offer him the Vice Presidential position in your administration?
  • Politics and Elections On a Political Societal Level - Politics and the Law of Attraction definitely mix. When people think of the Law of Attraction (LOA) they tend to focus upon money, health, relationships, employment and generally personal issues. However, the basic tenet of the LOA is that it operates all of the time, in every situation and at every level of society. There is no time or place or issue that is not under the LOA.
  • How to Get Great Response to Your Marketing Efforts? Have a Great Call-to-Action! - The current election race in the USA has given rise to a lot of comparisons between the public-speaking styles of the various candidates in either party - not that deep analysis of potential presidential candidates is anything new! Perhaps one of the most powerful sound bites of any election race was a self-effacing comparison made by Adlai Stevenson between himself and John F Kennedy during the election campaign in 1960. Stevenson invoked the memories of two great orators of the Greek and Roman eras when he said: "When Cicero had finished speaking, the people said, 'How well he spoke', but when Demosthenes had finished speaking, they said, 'Let us march'.
  • Popular Rule - Oregon's Gift to America - The federal government drafted in Philadelphia barely deserved the label "popular." * The Electoral College, not the people, selected the President; * The various state legislatures appointed the federal senate; and, * These two semi-aristocratic institutions, insulated from the electorate as it were, decided who would sit on the federal bench. Only members of the House of Representatives -- 1/6th of the federal government -- held their seats due to a free and fair vote.
  • Grassroots and the Elections - Believe it or not, there’s an election around the corner. No, I’m not talking about the Presidential campaign. I’m talking about November 6th, 2007 when communities all across the country will be deciding on local ballot measures, county commissioners, city councilors and the like. OK, so maybe the thought of these local elections doesn’t fill you with the same level of anticipation (or dread) as a rip-roaring presidential campaign can. But whether you’re considering getting involved in the local 2007 elections, or gearing up for 2008, there are a dozen effective and fun ways to involve grassroots network members in the political process. In doing so, you’ll build both recognition of your cause as well as a pool of motivated and knowledgeable activists.
  • Black Youth Vote! National Civic Education Training Tour Promotes Voting In Iowa - As part of ongoing efforts to motivate young people to engage in the political process, the League of Young Voters Education Fund (LYVEF) recently teamed up with the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation’s (NCBCP) Black Youth Vote! (BYV!) for an innovative civic participation training at North High School in Des Moines, IA. The youth later participated in the Black and Brown Forum Presidential Debate. Organizers underscored the importance of voting in the Jan. 3, 2008 primary even though people of color make up less than six percent of the Iowa population.
  • Buying DC Real Estate - During election seasons, someone who didn't know any better would think that the only DC real estate that is ever available or worth getting into is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Talk to sports fans in the area and they will tell you that the hot new DC real estate is the new Nationals Park in the Southeast section of the city. But the overall reality is that there's a whole lot more to DC real estate than simply historic and cultural centers and tourist destinations.
  • The Oregon System of Government by Petition Saves the American Experiment - It is common for those lamenting the current state of Oregon’s initiative process to hearken back to the days when initiatives were pure expressions of home-grown populist yearnings, circulated by volunteers, and, uncontaminated by national politics and money. Only problem is, those days never existed. The call for the initiative system itself was a national issue as early as 1892; Oregonians first used the initiative to secure the right to “elect” their federal senators, a demand debated nationally for decades; Oregon’s law prohibiting the payment of petition peddlers dates back only to 1935; and, big out-of-state money supported Oregon initiative campaigns almost from the beginning. Indeed, it is not pulling the nose of reason to argue that Oregon’s adoption of the Initiative, and, its use to allow Oregonians to directly “elect” their federal senators, spared this county a second civil war.
  • President Elect Barack Obama: A Biography - Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father was a black man (also named Barack Obama) born in Africa and his mother was a white woman born in Kansas. Obama's father and his mother separated and divorced when Obama was a young child. His mother remarried in 1967 when Obama was 6 years old to a man named Lolo Soetoro. His family moved to Soetoro's home country which was Indonesia. Obama lived there until he was 10 years old when he returned to live in Hawaii with his maternal grandparents who raised him from then on. Obama moved to Los Angeles for college. After two years he transferred to Columbia University in New York City.
  • 2008: Election Of Your Life - We're a year away from the next US presidential election and already there is universal desperation for change in this country, and through this country, the impetus for a better world.
  • the obamanomics of hope - Let me first start off by saying I to grew up a Chicago area Southside native. I understand blue colar politics and what a "real" Regan Democrat is. I have seen first hand the train wreck that welfare and social handouts have caused. I grew up having to live as a child for a few years on welfare and foodstamps...I had a mom that taught us pride first! I was told that no handout will ever bring you success in life.
  • Republicans Vs Democrats - Currently in the United States there are two main political parties, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. While not every person ascribes to every belief of their stated political party, generally, the beliefs held are as follows: REPUBLICAN PARTY Republicans prefer a small federal government, only performing those functions that are specifically stated in the Constitution.
  • Passion and the Democratic Party - I was recently reviewing some comments to one of my articles published on the net and noticed one comment mentioning how "passionate" I seem to be about this primary season. And they are absolutely right -- I am. There are many reasons for that passion -- foremost is the direction I have seen our country go since the beginning of the Bush administration. My father, my uncle and my only male cousin all gave their lives for this country -- for the rights we have as Americans.
  • Political Games - America is gearing up to pick a new and hopefully improved President of The United States. The stakes are high and yet is anyone really asking the right questions? The media seems to be more concerned with sound bites or slips of the tongue or even a fashion statement to define the right person for the job. The political spin on what America and the World needs is almost a joke. We all are seeking peace and harmony world wide, a good education for our children and health care that will meet all of our growing needs.
  • Simba Makoni For President 2008 – A Chance For Zimbabwe To Move From The Polarization Of The Past And Make Zimbabwe To Work Again - Zimbabwe’s defining moment In 2 weeks time, on March 29, 2008, Zimbabweans have a chance to stop their suffering by rejecting the dictatorship in favor of a new dawn in the way they want the affairs of Government to be conducted.
  • Tips for Florida Incorporation - New small businesses often decide to consider the incorporation option, and that's logical. Incorporating a small business usually reduces the business owner's legal liability and often saves the business owner (and any outside investors) quite a bit in taxes. Sometimes business owners will work with an attorney or accountant to get their help with the incorporation. Other times, business owners will work with a paralegal or online incorporation service. And some experienced entrepreneurs will simply employ a do-it-yourself approach to incorporating.
  • Fetching One Way Links - A Beginner's Guide - Everyone has heard that link building is important for proper search engine rankings. But, what does that mean? How does that apply to your site? To help the new webmaster launch into an effective link building campaign, I've outlined 5 important linking concepts. Links are votes: A link is a vote that one website (the "linker") casts for another website (the "linkee"). The vote is giving credence or credibility to the linked site. But, unlike politics, each vote does not hold equal weight.
  • What is CLTV? - I have heard all the hype from the media about how bad the mortgage market is doing. And, of course I have also heard each of our Presidential Candidates run down the economy over and over again, not caring that it is their hype that is pulling it down. This happens every election year. Unfortunately people with very busy lives hear and read all of this and begin to think it is true. We have all heard this: "If you tell a lie often enough people will believe it is true". There you go! Is our economy a little slow right now? Yes, but it is not in the dumpster. Are independent mortgage brokers and appraisers the cause of the mortgage scandals? Absolutely NOT.
  • Vote For My Parent! Why The Candidates' Kids Mattered In Election 2008 - This election, First Kid wannabes have been in the public eye like never before. Josh Romney drove through all 99 counties of Iowa in an RV to stump for his Dad, Mitt Romney. His brother Craig used fluent Spanish to voiceover a campaign ad about their "papa.
  • The Knives Are Out - The big guns within the Socialist party here in France are warming up for battle ahead of an election to choose a new leader even though that’s still over six months away. Segolene Royal officially announced her intention to stand last Friday. And now the man many consider will be her main opponent, Bertrand Delanoë, has released a book “De l’audace” in which he sets out his vision for the future of the party and also takes aim at Royal.
  • Achieve Political Success Through A Promotional Product Political Campaign - All political candidates may not agree on political, societal or economic issues, but it is safe to infer political candidates agree that a successful political campaign builds public support and success. Political campaigns, similar to marketing campaigns, must use effective and useful slogans in order to grasp a typically uninterested audience. In order to do so, political candidates need to get up and work for support.
