While it is true that the President helps decide what legislation should be considered, it is NOT the decision of the President ALONE.
The House and the Senate have the task of crafting legislation that serves the needs of the people who elected them. Therefore, the agenda of the United States Government is decided by the VOTERS when they decide who will represent them in Congress. So any agenda I might want to pursue as President would only be possible if THE PEOPLE vote for Senators who support ACTION.
The legislative tactic of INACTION currently employed by the Senate has given rise to MANY of the societal issues we seek to eliminate… the solution to those issues seems to present itself immediately when viewed in that context.
Remember… before you VOTE, find out EXACTLY where the candidates STAND.
Remove the CORRUPTION. Restore HONOR in governance.
End The Electoral College.
As each essay is completed, I will post the link and description below.
…
“But, then again… it really doesn’t matter what the voters decide at the ballot box. ALL decisions are made at the convention by the DELEGATES. The long days, shaking hands, eating corn dogs, promising this and that… if the DELEGATES can’t agree, it’s all up for grabs.”
“When you strip away all the nonsense, and get to the point of it all… I believe we’re NOT as far apart as it might seem. Or rather, as divided as they would WANT us to believe…
It seems that every now and again, we need a little reminder of how important our Right to Bear Arms truly is, and how easy it would be for a foreign adversary to impose THEIR will upon us… if only we were all UNARMED.”
I drove up to Fort Leavenworth today… as I do whenever I’m in need of CONTEXT.
I rarely walk the rows of our most recently fallen service members as I don’t want to disturb grieving families, so I make a commitment to HONOR the memories of soldiers who most likely… no longer have someone around to remember their name.
As I read the stones, in my mind I say the names and ranks, in HONOR of their service. Some stones still “speak” and give a flash of LIFE… a unique characteristic, a nickname, a eulogy. A rebellious salute to the end of a life STAINED by WAR, made by an aged VETERAN who’s SPIRIT remained untarnished by the evils brought with it.
A majority are marked with the Cross of Christ, so the stones marked with a Star of David or the Star and Crescent reveal even more depth, and some stones mark the resting place of TWO souls…
The WOMEN who stood behind those heroes in LIFE, chose to rest beside them in death.
The oldest military grave at Fort Leavenworth Cemetery is that of Captain James Allen, who died in 1846, when our President was James K. Polk… 174 YEARS AGO.
Representatives from the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, WWI… fighting for the United States of America on HORSEBACK. Thousands of BRAVE men and women who’ve dedicated their lives to our Nation, over the course of CENTURIES…
The bitter wind blows through the oaks, rustling the crisp brown leaves and the clock chimes at the top of the hour. The sound echoes off the hillside, the SILENCE echoes throughout TIME.
I am humbled to think ‘WHAT CAUSE could rally so many people to give ALL of themselves, to ensure its continued existence… and could there ever be another seen as its EQUAL?’
As I pass the obelisk and crest the hill, the view of markers standing at attention rolls down and across the valley, and the scenery starts to change… WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Iraq… Mounds of DIRT. Freshly laid flowers. THEN, just grass. A sprawling hillside with a couple saplings, the green contrasting sharply with its marble edging…
… and this is only one of TEN. This is the culmination of over 230 years of scientific achievement, born of our CAUSE, our dedication to Equal Justice Under Law.
But the “Big Stick” is only a HOLLOW SHELL without the men and women who makeup her LIFEBLOOD, without whom she does not SAIL.
I do not say these things to boast. I do not say this to intimidate. I am simply stating a FACT, bringing CLARITY to a situation we’ve ALL seen before.
Our Experience must guide us now.
Let us not speak of escalation, when we KNOW where that path LEADS. At the end of that road, we know what fate LIES.
FIRST it’s a tanker, then it’s a refinery. Then it’s a military DRONE. Now, LIVES. First its US, then it’s THEM… once upon a time it was the Gulf of Tonkin. And before THAT, it was the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and MANY years before… REVOLUTIONARIES. Dressed in a FALSE FLAG, wearing the clothes of NATIVES… drunkenly throwing TEA into a harbor…
We know where the path of escalation LEADS. A cost, measured in LIVES.
What GOOD is Experience if we do not LEARN from it? What will become of our collective KNOWLEDGE if we do not SHARE IT?
“The only winning move is: not to play.”
In so far as it is within my power… I will work toward ensuring that Kansas Hillside, stays forever GREEN.
The Case Against the President, Part 5: Rinse and Repeat
In times of crisis, in times of peril. We look to our Leaders for guidance… STAND UP for the Rule of Law.

“The Framers were RIGHT… this IS an ‘experiment’. When our nation’s existence is viewed in-total, as a set of FACTS and DATA, conclusions can be reached. Recommendations can be made…
We must End the Electoral College.”
The problems we face as a nation CAN be solved, but only if we STAND united…
… as EQUALS.

The last couple weeks have been quite busy trying to get this video published, as well as many other things. I found it best to focus on my work as the thread unravels, focusing on what CAN BE… viewing all of this as a lesson on WHY we need this change.
I look forward to returning to a somewhat regular schedule in the next couple of days after some well deserved SLEEP.
End The Electoral College NOW!!
