Obstacles To Peace...

Coercion…Aggression…Taxation….Privilege….Corporations (State Capitalism)….

Peace, the daughter of Liberty and Equality, is obstructed under the conditions listed above. She is absent when neighbors steal from each other via taxation (legal plunder).

She refuses to dwell in the shadow of privilege for she knows inequality when she sees it.

We will never dwell in Peace as long as we use force to achieve social and political goals. If we truly love our neighbors, we will respect their rights and property.

To govern ourselves is to allow others to do the same.

My Visit To The Board Of Elections....

This past Friday, I journeyed to the Board of Elections. The purpose of my journey was to confirm whether my vote for myself in the 8th Congressional District would be tossed in the trash. I walked into the office and a lady asked if she could help me. I asked her if someone could look over a copy of my absentee ballot and tell me which votes were being cast out.

Silence....then confusion ensued.

Christina Daniels came into the room and took control of the chaos. She confirmed what I already knew, North Carolina has a general statute that forbids write-in votes in partisan races (Disclaimer: You can gather petition signatures to have a write-in line inserted onto the ballot for a particular race).

I pointed out the fact that the U.S. and N.C. Constitutions say I am qualified to serve in Congress.

She agreed...

I told her that a general statute could not trump constitutional law...

She agreed...

I asked her if the Constitution or conscience had any role in the BOE decision to throw away my vote...

With regret, she admitted that they do not.

I thanked her for her help and then made my way to the basement of the building where the process to count provisional votes was about to start.

Near the end of the count, I asked Mr. Moss, Cabarrus BOE Chairman, if I could ask him a question. I walked up front to the table he was sitting at. I introduced myself and gave him my voter ID number. I presented him with a copy of my absentee ballot and asked him the same questions I asked upstairs. He couldn't answer my questions. He said he would have to dig out my original ballot to know for sure. I told him that wasn't necessary. I told him that I already knew the answer. About this time, Linda Grist, BOE Director got involved and confirmed to Mr. Moss that there was a write-in ban here in N.C..

I told Mr. Moss I had announced in August 2005 that I was seeking the Libertarian nomination for U.S. Congress, District 8, only to have my party decertified a couple weeks later. I quoted Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution. I quoted Article 6, Section 6 of the N.C. Constitution. I told him that I was being treated like a second class citizen. I told him that I was tired of being lied to.

I told him I was taking legal action. Linda Grist said that they were only following the law. I corrected her by saying they were following a statute, the Constitution was the law.

Linda walked me to the door. She put her arm around me as we walked...I put my arm around her. She said I was doing what any citizen had a right to do. Before I walked out the door, I looked into Linda's eyes and asked her to put herself in my position...to listen to her conscience.

I hope she does...

Corporate Welfare: Pimping Out Privilege

From the Associated Press...

HIGH POINT, N.C. - The Web site for clothing maker Polo Ralph Lauren will receive $1.4 million in cash incentives for its planned call and distribution center in High Point, city officials said.

The incentives approved Thursday were in addition to a $1.5 million grant from the state and a $650,000 grant being considered by Guilford County commissioners. The incentives were the second-largest economic incentive package ever offered by the city.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Newell Rubbermaid Inc., which sells an array of consumer products from pens to plastic ware, said Monday it will expand near Charlotte and create 320 jobs over five years.

North Carolina state officials on Monday promised the Atlanta-based company as much as $6.6 million in tax breaks over nine years to bring the expansion to Huntersville, about 15 miles north of Charlotte.

Sliding further down the slippery slope deeper into corporate fascism. Of course, the U.S. Government is the largest corporation in history. Corporations are merely memes, created by the merger of business and the State.

Why Cannabis Is "Illegal"

"Legalizing herbal cannabis would devastate the pharmaceutical manufacturers and allied corporations in the chemicals, oil, "food," and banking sectors. Put simply, the synthetic drug makers stand to lose half their sales if and when the American people get legal access to cannabis."

Second Class Citizen With His Outlaw Ballot

This is me with my absentee ballot before our trip to the print shop (I made 20 copies) and the County Board of Elections. How many "voters" go to the trouble of recording their ballot? How else can I prove that the system is rigged.

My ballot has a total of eight (8) unopposable candidates. In spite of the U.S. and N.C. Constitutions, write-in votes in these and other races, will be cast out.

How can statutory law trump constitutional law?

The electoral system has been rigged by the Demopublicans and I aim to prove it!
