The U.S. Elections of 2010

         This page is begun in June 2009, which is much too early, but the national election cycle has been taken over by the media (owned, of course, by the very Oligarchs who seek to destroy the democratic process).

         While the People did get Barack Obama elected as head of the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch is still a problem. The Republican Party continues to block the seating of Senator Al Franken from Minnesota (the election results have him winner by a mere 300 votes). And so the count there is 57 Democrats, 40 Republicans, two independents, and one Senate seat vacant – not enough to prevent The Party of No from threatening to use the filibuster.
         Meanwhile, the Republican Party is targeting various Congressional districts, and state governorships, and many local elections, because they must get back the positional Power that gives them access to destroying America's economy, taking away Constitutional rights, and profiting from bribery, treason and war crimes.

         Any U.S. citizen who does not vote in the 2010 Primary and 2010 General Elections surrenders the right to call him-/herself an American.
