						<p><a href="http://www.teapartypatriots.org/members/amucciolo/" title="Anthony Mucciolo" rel="nofollow">Anthony Mucciolo</a> posted an update in the group <a href="http://www.teapartypatriots.org/groups/north-carolina/" rel="nofollow">North Carolina</a> Is it Fair? By any stretch of one’s imagination, is it fair that our Congress and the Obama administration try to suck every available dime from Americans while sending multiple billions to nations abroad?  Can they possibly convince the most uneducated simpleton in America that they are representing the best interests of our country when they gouge our own people year after year? </p>
<p>How is it that I, a simple minded American, can think of this solution, and the minds of these Harvard and Yale graduates are struggling with answers? Here’s my simple minded solution – If 100 billion dollars is needed – why not inform the 50 + countries that receive our money every year that they will be receiving up to 2 billion dollars less this year because America needs its resources? Is my idea insane? Is my intellect too limited to comprehend the magnitude of the situation?</p>
<p>I’m a Real Estate Broker, and I have become aware that billions of potential dollars are not coming into the treasury from unused and unprofitable government owned real estate. Why are they turning us citizens upside down for a few extra dollars instead of hiring someone to lease and or sell unused and/or unnecessary property holdings? It’s wasteful and unprofitable! They have allocated five million dollars to study goldfish!</p>
<p>I have friends who work at Boeing who marvel at how they charge the government as much as $250-$350 for a wrench and a screw driver!! Government can’t find more than 100 billion dollars - simply can’t account for it – so they want us to make up the losses. Our government is wasting billions and billions of dollars or preventing these monies from coming into the treasury while telling America that everyone needs to pay their fair share. People on welfare and the lower income wage earners pay no taxes at all. But if we did away with the federal income tax and only taxed those items purchased by the public, everyone will have a little skin in the game. By the way, you can find this suggestion in the Federalist Papers written more than 200 years ago. I didn’t go to Harvard or Yale, yet in my lowly intellectual state of mind I can find solutions!</p>
<p>Speaking of taxes – Are real estate agents the only ones who can comprehend that most people can actually afford to pay the mortgage note they signed at closing? For example: Let’s just say that a middle income family obtained a $200,000 mortgage at 5% interest. His mortgage note would be approximately $900 per month for 30 years. But the mortgage company wants an additional 1/12 of the Homeowners insurance and 1/12 of the taxes added to the $900 every month for a total of what could easily be $1500-$1800 per month depending on the taxes. Property taxes continue to rise and mortgage payments continue to escalate until we can no longer afford the payments. We’re losing our homes to the local and state tax man.</p>
<p>Again, am I one of only a few  that gets it? Maybe I should start a Political Action Committee and ask people to make donations to help me get into Congress. At least I would fight for lowering the tax rates and increasing revenue by leasing office space, farms, etc. Then again, if my intellect is so low, that may not be a good idea.</p>

						<p><a href="http://www.teapartypatriots.org/members/amucciolo/" title="Anthony Mucciolo" rel="nofollow">Anthony Mucciolo</a> posted an update in the group <a href="http://www.teapartypatriots.org/groups/north-carolina/" rel="nofollow">North Carolina</a> For those who hold out hope for real change, this will be well worth your reading, and sharing. We need a New Revitalized Republican Party, and every conservative and libertarian who aspire to run for the Congress and the Senate in 2014 will most likely defeat their counterparts if they include all or most of these positions in their platform. The people want us to run a positive campaign – telling them what we stand for, and what we will do to change the future of America – rather than lambasting our opponents. WE are a people desirous of a limited federal government, but we need a definitive plan: For example, what is our “Plan for reducing the tax burden?” We can advance a plan advocating these first 5 positions:</p>
<p>1. financial responsibility and accountability insuring that all investments made with tax payer funds be examined and decided on the basis of a sound business plan, adequate capital investment of its partners and stock holders, and the expectation of long-term success; and further, that all profits, interest, earnings on property and securities from whatsoever source are proportioned back to the states and the taxpayers;</p>
<p>2. demanding and receiving from all nations to whom we provide security, payment for the expenses incurred by our government and its taxpayers to furnish them with our military personnel, equipment, ordinance, and safe quarters while on their lands; and to further insure the paid medical care of all wounded in action both short term and permanent, coupled with a sustainable monthly allowance to support their families, and paying a delegated amount to the families of all killed in action, or as a result of being stationed on their land;</p>
<p>3. imposing work demands upon all prisoners sentenced to incarceration for more than 90 days, to provide for their detention expenses, daily necessities, and to provide for the welfare of their dependents; actions that will greatly diminish the tax burden on the American people;</p>
<p>4. taxation on the purchase and consumption of goods rather than personal or business incomes, a principle supported by Alexander Hamilton in the 14th Federalist paper;</p>
<p>5. eliminate the Department of Education and restore to the states their proper right to exercise full oversight and controls over the education and curricula of all educational institutions within its jurisdictions;</p>
<p>6. restoration of religious expressions and practice without hindrance; </p>
<p>7. the right to bear arms in every city and state in the union for our self protection without unnecessary restraint and limitation, for the purpose of securing our persons and property from both foreign and domestic terrorism and threats; excepting only the right to disarm those who are, or become, members of known and recognized terrorist groups and gangs;</p>
<p>8. the security as before provided for all generations in the Bill of Rights, and a government transparent to, and accountable to, the people and Congress of the United States.</p>
<p>9. that all laws, regulations, taxes, and restrictions imposed on the citizens must be equally obligatory and enforceable on every member and employee of the federal government and its assigns without exception. </p>
<p>These policy positions are firmly embodied in the duties, obligations, and responsibilities inherent in the laws of fiduciary responsibility and trusteeship which was made incumbent upon the federal government when our forefathers “vested” certain cherished financial trusts, invaluable sovereign and sacred rights, and other “treasures” of great value to the states, they placed under its protections; whose duty it is to protect, defend, and secure these certain and valued rights and trusts committed to them and enumerated in the document we refer to as the Constitution of the United States.</p>
<p>Therefore, I submit to the peace-loving people of this district, and this state that no one entrenched in the foxholes of government domination is going to “give back” the rights they have usurped for their own enrichment. IT BECOMES THEREFORE, ENCUMBENT UPON US, the Common People, TO REPLACE those in the Congress and Senate who have not left their secure foxholes, have not condemned the usurpation of the people’s rights and liberties, have not attempted to restrain the appropriation of additional powers from the states, and have not taken steps to limit the powers of the government, nor have begun to initiate action to restore our sacred rights, even those who have enriched themselves at the expense of the governed.<br />
 Of particular mention, we must examine the record of those who profess themselves to be conservative Republicans, and determine if they have STOOD THEIR GROUND in DEFIANCE of these illegal and unconstitutional acts, or caved in to the demands of this administration to further encroach upon and usurp our rights; and if it be determined they have not stood their ground in defense of the sacred trust committed to their keeping, THEY MUST, of NECESSITY, ALSO BE RESPLACED. </p>
<p>I am advocating for the election of individuals committed to supporting and defending the principles and the sacred confidence originally vested by our forefathers in the federal government: individuals who will engage in a strong, determined, yet peaceable means of restoring our government to its proper place of strength in matters foreign and domestic.</p>
<p>Of grave importance, they must immediately begin to create a stable environment aimed at alleviating the fears of the electorate who have begun to question the government’s loyalty to uphold the sacred fiduciary trust delegated to it by the people. </p>
<p>It is reported that our government is preparing the military and police for a national revolt. If this is true, I submit that the fear and apprehension within the hearts of Americans losing hope of a bright and successful future for themselves and their children is well documented by the administration. Otherwise, why the preparation? But should a government wary of revolt prepare to kill its own citizens instead of making the changes necessary to promote the peace and general welfare of its citizens? Is our government going to mimic the insufferable tragedies upon us that King Assad of Syria, is waging against his own people -choosing to kill his own people rather than give way to progressive change? Is this the future we envision for ourselves and our loved ones?</p>
<p>Revolution may be at our doorsteps, but do we welcome it? Do we support an uprising that will devastate our nation and bring death and misery to its citizens; or do we make every attempt to deter violence and put the people at rest? We must breathe the fresh air of a legitimate hope and change policy in an attempt to restore the hope that our government will be restored. That our policies will bring about economic recovery and stability, a definite increase in employment opportunities, lower taxes, and establishing the bond of unity between a people that have been so divided against each other. This is the only way that I know of to avoid the much anticipated bloodshed.</p>
<p>Once again, the weight and burden is upon us, the people, to vote the opportunists out of office and to vote those among us into office who share our core values and virtues, and who desire the blessings of God upon our nation and our children to the third and fourth generations of those who believe in Him.<br />
 I have presented a peaceable plan of action that will not advance the violence the government is anticipating. As Congressman Paul Ryan was known to say many times, “WE CAN DO THIS!”</p>
<p>A major portion of this text was taken from a speech I gave before a Republican assembly when I ran for Congress in 1986. It was a message out of time, and will undoubtedly have a far greater influence if I were to give it today. Nevertheless, it is a positive message, and while we may make certain statements to point out the actions of those in government, we must refrain from using names and deliberate personal attacks. This is what we all desire, “Tell me what YOU are going to do to make a difference – We already know what the other isn’t doing, or DID!”</p>
<p>I would be more than honored to see the essence of this message being proclaimed by every candidate running for office in 2014, because I believe this message is timely, impossible to contradict or successfully dispute, and I am convinced if it is included in the platform of the New Revitalized Republican Party, the true Party of the People, it will result in many victories for Conservative Christians, Friends of Israel, and people of virtue of all faiths. If called upon, I would be honored to present this message personally before the citizens of your communities. But, it is far more important, of grave importance, to get this message into the hands of those who would be faithful candidates and elected officials for federal office in 2014. If you believe this is the message for today, then spread the word as quickly and with as much energy as you possess. Let this be our charge, the conviction of our hearts, “We must have the majority in the Senate and in the House!” </p>
<p>Thank you and God bless all your efforts and successes. </p>
<p>Rev. Anthony Mucciolo<br />

<p>If anyone missed this and has not yet signed the petition, please read the following and do so now...<br />
and be sure to forward this to everyone you know... we still have over a week to make enough noise to be heard and make this happen...!  Depending on what you do right now, "Bozo" may NOT get to "stay" in OUR White House...!</p>
<p>as you know, a president is NOT elected by popular vote; he/she is elected by the Electoral College...<br />
and the College will NOT meet until Dec. 17th, this year.  IF just 17 states "withhold" their Electoral College vote, it then falls to the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (not the senate) to "select" the next president!!</p>
<p>This petition basically, tells your state Senators to advise their state's electors NOT to submit their vote!   </p>
<p>We need to DROWN Congress with hundreds of thousands of these fax/petitions - -make OUR voices SO LOUD, we cannot be ignored! So, go there and do it NOW</p>

<p>2012 Presidential Results<br />
*UPDATE* 11-26-12:<br />
Contact State Delegate Kathryn Afzali below and tell her you are behind her 100%! She just turned in two voting machines to the FBI for testing because of fraud concerns.</p>
<p>*UPDATE* 11-17-12: The original intent of this post was to present a plan, from a fellow patriot, that seemed to be bullet proof. After consulting legal professionals and others, I have am not certain this plan will work. One of the contentions is that the 2/3rds "quorum" requirement does not apply to the Electoral College; after much deliberation, I believe this is the case, and therefore the strategy as posted below is not as bullet proof as suspected. The good news is, there are obviously a lot of concerned people in this country, like yourself, who want to take action. This post has received 20,000 views in less than 24 hours! Please keep the momentum going. As explained below, we CAN and MUST still do something.</p>
<p>Please also read my blog post on why America will not fail IF we, constitutional patriots of liberty, will act.</p>
<p>Let me be clear. In my study of the facts, I can attest with no doubt whatsoever, this election was stolen through massive voter fraud. I came across an extremely disturbing blog post today that explains why the RNC seems to be doing nothing about the massive evidence of fraud. Please read about the Consent Decree, agreed to by the RNC, via court settlement in 1982, “Democratic National Committee v Republican National Committee,” Case No. 09-4615. The Decree contains actual consent from the RNC to (among other things) "refrain from having private personnel deputized as law enforcement personnel in connection with ballot security activities." As modified in 1987, the Consent Decree defined "ballot security activities" to mean "ballot integrity, ballot security or other efforts to prevent or remedy vote fraud." In other words, the RNC agreed not to pursue voter fraud issues - ever! How they were duped into signing this decree is beyond me and I'm afraid to see where this goes. Have our elections been manipulated since 1982? Regardless, WE must do something about it or forever lose our beloved country to pre-determined sham elections.</p>
<p>What can YOU do?<br />
ACT IMMEDIATELY because we only have until mid-December before the election is certified and then our only option is to pursue impeachment.<br />

Contact State Delegate Kathryn Afzali of Maryland and tell her you are behind her 100%. She just turned two voting machines into the FBI for testing for malicious software and tampering. Contact her here: <a href="mailto:kathy.afzali@house.state.md.us" rel="nofollow">kathy.afzali@house.state.md.us</a> and (301) 858-3184.<br />
I think the most important action we can take is contact the Attorney Generals in all states (but ESPECIALLY Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado, Florida, etc.) and request they legally investigate/pursue voter fraud. A list of Attorney Generals in Battleground States is below, and a link to a complete list of State Attorney Generals is also provided.<br />
We can still contact all of the Electors, listed at the end of this post, and voice our concern of voter fraud (send them to ObamaVoterFraud.com) and encourage them not to cast their votes until voter fraud is investigated. You can also encourage freedom-loving Democrat Electors to change their vote to Romney; many States don't bind Electors to vote for who they pledged to vote for and there may be some rogue/wavering Dems in the EC.<br />
ORIGINAL POST:</p>
<p>If anyone can find a flaw in this strategy, presented by a fellow patriot, please note it in the comments. If this works, it may be a last-resort protection our Founding Fathers left us in our Constitution for a time such as this, when the voice of the people has been completely disregarded and the election has been stolen by foreign influence. This golden egg may just be our only "eject button" to get rid of Barack Obama and restore integrity to our nation once and for all. Below is our plan of attack, followed by a list we need all patriots - everywhere - to start calling immediately. We only have until mid-December!!</p>
<p>THE PLAN:<br />
FROM: Louisianna (Glen Ellerbe) for Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan.<br />
WE do not elect the President. The Electoral College elects the President. The 2012 election does not get decided until Mid-December when the Electoral College cast their votes AND, if enough of them do not cast their vote, the responsibility falls onto the House of Representatives to choose the next President!<br />
According to Article II of the U.S. Constitution AND the 12th Amendment - if 1/3rd of the States do not cast their votes in the Electoral College, then the matter falls onto the House of Representatives to choose the President. In other words, if we pressure Congressmen, State Party Officials, and groups such as Tea Party Patriots, Heritage Foundation, etc., to call on RED States to NOT have their Electors cast their vote - then the House of Reps CAN choose the next President (and Republicans still have the majority - 233 (R) to 195 (D) - in the House of Representatives)!!!<br />
If just 18 RED States agreed to NOT cast their votes in the electoral college – then it goes to the House. And if pressured - they just might do it. We do NOT have to convince ANY democrats – at all. All we have to do is convince 1/3 of the States to NOT cast their electoral college votes. Well more than 1/3 of the States did in fact vote as RED States and they too can see the obvious, wide-spread vote-fraud which has taken place.<br />
So, if the Electors in 18 (of 24) States which Romney won decided to NOT cast their electoral college votes - then the electoral college does not meet the requirement as defined in the Constitution, therefore, the electoral college becomes null and void. The matter then goes to the House.<br />
In every State, each political party chooses its' own “electors”. Then, whichever party wins the popular vote in each State is the party which gets to have its electors cast their vote in the electoral college.<br />
However, according to the Constitution and the 12th Amendment, in order for the Electoral College to have a quorum - then at least 2/3rds of the States must cast their votes.<br />
As stated in the Constitution and the 12th Amendment:<br />
“A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States.”<br />
So, if 1/3 of the States (17) do NOT cast their electoral college votes - then it goes to the House of Representatives (not the senate) to elect the next President.<br />
"... if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers... the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President."<br />
The Democrats are stealing this election and it is up to WE, the people, to put the hammer down on their widespread vote-fraud. The founding-fathers gave us the Electoral College for several reasons. Vote-Fraud is one of those reasons. But it is up to us to hold tightly to the Constitution. If we don’t, then we are just as guilty as those who would ignore it. The Constitution can stop the socialist machine in its' tracks. But it is up to YOU to get on the phone and make some noise. Please call your State Party Officials, your Congressmen, and any political groups or organizations ASAP.<br />
MAKE THE CALLS!!!<br />
YES!! WE CAN DO THIS!!<br />
GET THE WORD OUT!!<br />
What YOU can do is call the contacts below and request a list of Mitt Romney's Electors and their contact info (by law, they must provide this to you). When you get the list, call every one of them or send a letter to every one of them, if all you have is an address, and inform them of this provision in our Constitution, which allows the House of Representatives to choose our president. Then, if the electors are not yet posted here for a given state, please post them in the comments for everyone else to see.</p>
<p>Now, GET ON THE PHONE AND SAVE AMERICA:</p>

We can get the numbers needed for the petition. Romney voters do not need to be paid to vote. Obama voters need to be bused and herded from the streets. They require incentives. They would not be able to buy it the second time around. DEMOCRATS MADE A PRACTICE OF RECALLS! THE PRESIDENT CAN BE RECALLED! Their voters scams would not work on this!</p>

I BELIEVE IT IS THAT IMPORTANT. SJR</p>
<p>Voting Straight Ticket in North Carolina does NOT include the Presidential contest.<br />
NC voters threw away 92,000 votes for President in 2004 because of confusing law. Other states report problems in ballot miscounts due to straight ticket programming errors.</p>
<p>    "The offices of President and Vice President of the United States are not included in a Straight Party vote.  This contest must be voted separately."</p>
<p>NC is the only state in the US where straight ticket voting does not count for President. Our state has one of the highest undervote rates for President in the Country because of this.<br />
Miscounts -  Voters Unite reports that misprogramming caused straight-party votes to be dropped or counted for the opposite candidate, for example, in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin</p>
<p>Lack of voter education. The 3 million + voter guides mailed to households all over North Carolina do not mention North Carolina's straight ticket exception. That straight ticket voting does not count for the President is non-sensical and counter-intuitive, the instructions on the ballot are confusing.  Recent feedback from early voting poll workers and observers indicates that many voters do not understand how the straight ticket voting option, or that it IS optional.</p>
<p>NC Straight Ticket Voting Facts:<br />
President - straight ticket voting does not count for President You must vote separately for President.<br />
Non Partisan - straight ticket doesn't count for non partisan contests (like Judicial).<br />
Multi Seat Contests - If you vote straight ticket but you also cross over vote, your party choices are erased in that multi seat race. You will have to go back and mark your party choices in that multi seat race.<br />
Straight Ticket is optional. You do not have to select the "straight party". Just make your choices separately.</p>
<p>If using the "straight ticket" option on your ballot - vote in three steps with a flip:</p>
<p>1. Vote for President,<br />
2. Vote Straight ticket option<br />
3. Flip the ballot over and vote for Judicial Contests and local non partisan contests.</p>
<p>If voters can remember to Vote 1-2-3, they can ensure that their vote fully counts.<br />
