OK here it is my presidential picks for 2016.

OK here it is my presidential picks for 2016.

Lets take a look at my past picks. I wrote this in January 30, 2008.

I said back in May '07 they have groomed McCain as heir apparent to the throne of the president.  He is going to get steam rolled by the younger, youthful and more energized Obama and if its Hillary EVERY Democrat will go out to vote for her.  The only guy that has a chance is Huckabee to defeat and unite this party.  Strong veteran bill of rights, pro life - pro marriage and DUNCAN HUNTER endorsed him.   It seems long ago, Hillary and McCain were the picks.  3 things got in the way, Obama - Huckabee - Mitt.  Obama may upset the Dems applecart, Mitt has enough money to hang around and Huckabee said he isn't going anywhere and is in for the long haul, so there is a bit of light left.

Well I was right McCain would get the nominee after some back room deals to get the Mitt-nipulator to back off until the next presidential election and Obama did upset the Dems applecart even though it was only Hillary's applecart.

In December 29, 2010 I wrote this

In case you haven't figured it out yet here is my prediction for the presidential election in 2012.  It will be Mitt Romney as the GOP nominee against Obama and Obama wins big.  Keep an eye on Hillary, she is jockeying for position.

Well I was spot on there. Hillary did indeed jockey for position resigning as Secretary of State in November of 2012 thinking she is the next inline to be president. The first woman, the first wife of a president to become president it is all set for her but is it? Forget about the scandals those only matter to those on the right side of the spectrum. We have created a two party hate system of voting so the Democrats would vote for Satan to stop a Republican from winning and so would the Republicans do the same to stop a Democrat. What may stop Hillary is her haggard old looks and her phoniness. Now I am stepping way way out here but I think the person to keep an eye on is our Old Buddy John Genghis Khan Kerry.

It has been over 10 years since Kerry ran for president and there are a host of new voters out there who are not aware or care about his past. He almost survived the Swift Boat veterans in '04 which won't be a factor this time. America is far different now then 10 years ago. A war protester of a past era is far more palatable in this anti-war climate we are in. America is tired of the wars. Kerry looks more energized and though he is a far out liberal he doesn't have nearly the baggage of the old bag herself Hillary. And remember Kerry took over as Secretary of State when Hillary resigned.

Now the Republican side pick is on Rand Paul. First lets run down some on the list of GOP hopefuls. Huckabee had his moment in the sun as did Santorum. Though they tried to cozy up to the establishment they haven't cracked it. Huckabee and Santorum hung on to long in their runs which did not sit well with the party higher ups. They can split some of the votes with the Carson show but it won't cut it.

Every election there is one candidate we love but just doesn't have it and that is Ben Carson. The east coast Fat Cat Christie just can't unify the party. Won't happen. Rubio and Cruz are just to right of center and won't do anything but get some tea party votes besides they shouldn't even be running, they are not natural born citizens as is Obama, correct me if I am wrong.

That leaves us with Jeb Bush and Rand Paul. Wow the money is on Bush but the Republicans need to the Conservative Right and the Tea Party to win, even though they don't like them or want to admit it, so my pick is on Rand Paul.

Rand Paul has kissed the Elephant god's ring by endorsing Romney over his father which got him a spot to speak at the 2012 GOP convention and he endorsed Mitch McConnell. The Tea Party will be silenced as they finally have their man and the Republicans have their man to do what they want while throwing bones at Rand by allowing him to do just enough to keep the Right thinking things are going their way. Rand is being reshaped into an ineffective Reagan.

My vote goes to my conscience and will vote for the Constitution Party candidate first. And if the Constitution Party candidate can't make the Ohio ballot because of the GOP bill SB193 I will vote Gary Johnson. I don't agree with Johnson on some issues at all but I trust him, The Republicans I agree on almost all the campaign issues but don't trust them at all. And that's the difference.

Another liberty group a front for the Republican Party?

Press ? for keyboard shortcu

Friends, I received this survey from the Lake County Liberty Coalition. This is the response I sent to the Executive Director of the group Chuck Laughlin:
 
I quit the survey because you have it tilted towards Republicans. They are mentioned first without mentioning Constitution Party or Libertarian, I won't fill this out. Please correct so we can all participate or I will encourage others not to take part in this also.
 
Lake County Chairman Constitution Party,

Trying to reform the Republican Party?

Reflections..... Reflections usually lead to directions which should lead to corrections... which is where i am at, reflecting. Concerning politics...

This is a email conversation I had with the head of a local liberty group here in Lake County. I will post the follow up response and then I will dice and slice this further.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Carey,
At this point, after having given it considerable thought, I can't see that a third party is going to be a viable option. I like that for which the Constitution Party stands. However, there is virtually no way that the established parties are going to allow a third party to win anything. Therefore, I am going to respectfully decline the invitation.
I firmly believe that the only option is to have the numbers on the GOP state and county central committee to change the direction. 
I would like to have you on board on this if you would.
If I'm missing something and you see a path forward with the Constitution Party, please let me know.

my reply
I am disappointed not only by the conclusion you made but also because I am tired of thinking that progress has been made promoting the Constitution Party only for a person to repeat what the media says that a third party can't win and in the end go back to one of the two main political party's.

Your offer of wanting me on board in reforming a corrupt and immoral party is also troubling. Do you remember I was on the Central Committee? I am now Chairman for the Constitution Party of Lake County and would never resign unless someone with more ability steps up. I am moving forward, by going back to the Republican Party would be doing just that – going backwards. 
 
Furthermore the way I have been treated by so called friends who call themselves Republicans is disheartening. This is not about me or my personality but is for the direction of this nation. Why would I want to align myself again with this polarized thinking of Republican vs. Democrat while all others go to hell?

When I met with the Chairman's of the Constitution Party of Ohio and attended my first meeting I was in a room with like minded individuals unlike Republican meetings where I have to seek out the Conservative Christians. Don't sit with them they are moderates, that group only cares about their wallet, this group is Ron Paul supporters, this is the establishment Republicans, that's nonsense and another big reason why trying to reform the Republican Party is flawed. Which group will infiltrate and take over the Republican Party? Will it be the Ron Paul Libertarians? - the Christian Right? - the Tea Party? My answer is none of the above. In the end party members will march in goosestep and still vote for the handpicked establishment Republican left standing as the prevalent thinking of its better to vote for the lesser of two evils is still being played out. 
 
Poll after poll show that a large percentage of Americans feel a third party is needed. So what is the problem? We as leaders are not giving the voting public an option. The ones who are capable of running for office or head liberty groups disregard these polls and continue the mantra of trying to reform the Republican party. Why not give the public the choice and let them decide? 
 
I have to ask this, which is easier - reforming the Republican Party as you suggest or electing a third party candidate? Both are a daunting task but do you really feel you can climb the ladder to wrestle the Republican party away from the globalists? Why go through all that when you can on the local level help elect Constitutionalists who then can run for state and national positions. You also wrote “...there is virtually no way that the established parties are going to allow a third party to win anything.” If they won't allow a third party to win why do you feel they will let their party slip from their control?

As for myself that is why I attend less and less liberty meetings, Tea Party meetings and the like. We know the sky is falling but what these groups fail to deliver on is what to do about it. Why should I go to these meetings when the rallying cry is to take over the Republican Party? Why take over a party and not take back America? 
 
So in conclusion you ask If I'm missing something and you see a path forward with the Constitution Party, please let me know.. Yes you are, the path forward is simply to unite. 
 
This is my game plan which has changed from wooing Republicans to distancing myself from them and seeking voters who are looking for another choice. I have been encouraging my friends to do these 5 things:
    1. Resign from all things Republican
    2. Do not vote in the Republican primary only vote on issues
    3.Announce you are now part of and align yourself with the Constitution Party.
    4.Vote solely in the general election for the best candidate and if none available do not vote for the lesser of two evils leave it blank
    5.Just be patient and wait until the Constitution Party gets more people and candidates involved to actually vote for a Constitution Party candidate.



    Additional thought that I wasn't sure how to put them in the body of the letter so placed it at the bottom here.

    Lastly another thing that troubles me is voters and especially leaders who will not attend a meeting or even attempt to learn what other political parties are about. I face this many times passing out the Constitution Party literature to people involved with the Republican Party. Most refuse it. Shouldn't leaders of liberty groups at least attend a meeting to learn if anything else what the opposition is doing? After all they keep talking about the Constitution and this is the Constitution Party.

    THE END OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY

    THE END OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY
     
    By J.B. Williams
    March 29, 2015
    NewsWithViews.com
    Following the War of Independence separating America from Great Britain and establishing a new free sovereign nation, our Founders set a course to establish a Constitutional Representative Republican form of self-governance, of, by and for the people of the newly formed United States with the passage of the U.S. Constitution.
    Ever since, political powers here and abroad have sought to undermine, dismantle and destroy the United States and eliminate it as the world’s most free, prosperous and powerful nation on earth. 
    Two hundred years later, trapped in a growing global shift towards a One World system of global governance based on communist principles of social justice, the United States would soon find itself in a silent battle for its sovereignty and security emanating from within...
    Fast forward to 2004 – when a totally obscure new Illinois State Senator was paraded on to the national stage by none other than Sen. Ted Kennedy, (who had very close ties with Vladimir Putin, then head of the Russian KGB) – strangely upstaging the intended star of the show, Democrat presidential nominee John Kerry. Four years later, the man with no verifiable past would become the first truly anti-American occupant of the Oval Office under color of fraud.
    His name is Barack Hussein Obama and Barry Soetoro and Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah. He was born to a Kenyan Father and a young American mother, in Hawaii as the story goes, and grew up an Indonesian citizen for a time. He has more than twenty Social Security numbers attached to his name[s] – and six years later, all records sealed, not one American citizen can tell you for sure who or what this person really is...
    But we have watched him destroy our country at light speed for six years – stirring up racial divides, seizing more and more dictatorial executive powers, taking over entire private economic sectors, importing illegal aliens and illegal Islamic “refugees” at a record pace, driving our nation to nearly $20 trillion in debt, setting records in Military KIA and WIA under suicidal ROE, losing Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Pakistan and numerous others, undermining every constitutional concept, installing Muslim Brotherhood members throughout federal offices and national security agencies, as well as in numerous Middle Eastern nations by directly interfering in their elections, and swapping old U.S. allies for old U.S. enemies and placing our oldest Middle Eastern ally on the chopping block, Israel.
    If the goal is to destroy the United States, no one has ever done it better than Barack Hussein Obama.
    Our Founders made it possible for us to prevent such events, by placing very narrow and specific requirements for the Oval Office in Article II of the Constitution... all the American people had to do to prevent this disaster was enforce the Constitution.
    The Founders kept it very simple... to be eligible for the Oval Office, President or Vice President; one has to meet the following conditions -
    1. One must be a natural born Citizen of the United States, a True Citizen
    2. One must be at least 35 years of age
    3. One must have held U.S. residency for at least 14 years prior
    That’s all, three very simple requirements established to prevent someone like Barack Hussein Obama from ever entering the Oval Office, someone with unknown, foreign, dual or divided national loyalties. Barack Obama has demonstrated for six years now that he is loyal to global interests, not U.S. interests. 
    Barack Obama met condition number two and three, but he did not and cannot meet condition number one, the natural born Citizen requirement. That is the condition that should have prevented him from ever stepping foot in the people’s Oval Office six years ago. It didn’t stop him, because the people failed to enforce Article II of the U.S. Constitution, or even hold their representatives accountable for sitting silent as it happened.
    Many Americans, millions, wanted the constitutional crisis addressed and resolved over the past six years, filing law suits, FOIA requests seeking information on who Barack Obama really is and where he really came from, calling for impeachment, both for the fraud that allowed him to seize the White House and the many treasonous acts he has committed while in that office.
    But the political will of the masses was just not there. Million’s more would be focused only upon removing him from fraudulent power via the election booth, without realizing that he was now in control of everything, including elections and was rapidly turning the nation on its head.
    Back in 2012, a new young up and coming hot shot Republican was emerging in the great once very conservative state of Texas. He was, like Obama, a Harvard trained lawyer, except he actually had more on his résumé than communist community organizing.
    In a campaign interview during his freshman senate race, a GOP Texas State Committee member sat down with the young candidate to ask a few poignant vetting questions, and here are the questions and answers from that interview... (Redacted information is to protect the witness at this moment, but the witness is willing to offer sworn testimony)
    Interviewer: “Hello Mr. Cruz, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is (redacted). I am a (redacted) County GOP Precinct Chair and you have my support and vote. I have one question for you if I may?”
    Cruz: “Sure, go ahead.”
    Interviewer: “What is your understanding of how one becomes a natural born Citizen?”
    Cruz: “Two citizen parents and born on the soil.”
    Interviewer: “Not exactly, but as I don't have enough time to fully explain how one does become an natural born Citizen, based on your understanding, would you agree that Barack Obama is ineligible to be POTUS?”
    Cruz: “I would agree.”
    Interviewer: “So when we get you elected, will you expose him for the usurping fraud he is?”
    Cruz: “No, my main focus will be on repealing Obamacare.”
    Interviewer: “But Mr. Cruz, if he is exposed as the usurping fraud he is, everything he has done will become null and void. Everything!”
    Interviewer: “At that point, Cruz reiterated his main concern, so it was obvious the conversation was over as far as Cruz was concerned. I thanked him for his time and wished him success in the runoff.”
    That senate race was highly unusual. Redistricting had caused setbacks delaying the elections and election results. Cruz was running to replace Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison who had just retired and vacated her seat. At the originally scheduled time for the primary, Republican Cruz opponent Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst was well ahead in the polls. But by the time the election took place, Cruz had had enough time to slip ahead with more name recognition, in the end defeating his opponent and going on to defeat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election, becoming only one of three Latino’s in the U.S. Senate.
    That was 2012, and in July of 2013, Sen. Ted Cruz was beginning to make a name for himself, a somewhat outspoken freshman senator, sometimes frustrating GOP establishment RINOs like Sen. Mitch McConnell with his on camera grandstanding, much to the delight of his growing fan base in the Tea Party movement.
    Members of the Tea Party, once focused on Constitutional Government, were beginning to see Cruz as more than just a U.S. Senator. In their search for a “real true constitutional conservative” to help regain control of an out of control runaway federal juggernaut under Obama, he seemed a breath of fresh air for millions of Republicans and Libertarians across the country.
    That’s when calls for him to seek the Oval Office in 2016 started to take shape, and that’s when Sen. Ted Cruz became very concerned about a fact that he knew, but had never disclosed to the public, including during his Senate campaign a year earlier... Ted Cruz was born a Canadian citizen at birth, and remained a legal citizen of Canada, all the way up until May14, 2014.
    In short, Sen. Ted Cruz was a legal citizen of Canada when he ran for and became a U.S. Senator, without ever having disclosed his Canadian citizenship to Texas voters, which under both Texas and U.S. Election law, is an act of fraud. Ted Cruz had committed election fraud by failing to disclose to Texas voters that he was a Canadian citizen in 2012.
    No one can say for certain, but I think it is a very fair guess, that had Ted Cruz disclosed to Texas voters in 2012, that he had always been and remained at that time a legal citizen of Canada, his Republican opponent, Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst, would have won that race and become the next U.S. Senator from Texas.
    Ted made a huge mistake... He messed with Texas!
    Soon, it was the Tea Party wave of support that caused Sen. Ted Cruz to take an interest in running for president in 2016, forcing Cruz to now deal with a fact that was sure to become public in a presidential campaign... he was a Canadian citizen.
    On August 18, 2013 the Dallas Morning News published a copy of the birth records released by Sen. Ted Cruz, his Canadian birth records. The story opened the debate over Cruz eligibility for the Oval Office and unlike Obama, who had issued a number of forged certifications of live birth to support his eligibility claim, Cruz had just proven that he was a Canadian citizen at birth by releasing his Canadian birth record.
    Many immediately scrambled for damage control, alleging that maybe he was a “dual citizen” at birth via his American born mother. But there were no U.S. documents supporting that claim to be found...
    Enter the Harvard lawyers... the same lawyers that had been protecting Barack Hussein Obama for six years... Cruz was advised by his legal friends to immediately renounce his Canadian citizenship, which he did, on May 14, 2014... 
    ...and by June of 2014, friends and supporters at Fox News were beginning to clear his path to the White House by floating the idea that Ted was now a natural born Citizen of the United States, based upon renouncing his Canadian citizenship.
    Of course, two critical problems remained... Renouncing his Canadian citizenship affected his Canadian citizenship, but not his citizenship records in the United States, which so far, appear not to exist even today.
    As Ronald Reagan would say, here we go again, with a freshman Senator, a Harvard Lawyer, with Harvard law friends and no U.S. documentation to prove that Ted Cruz is a U.S. citizen of any type. A man with known foreign origins, and the son of a Father, Rafael Cruz Sr. who was at no time in his life a legal citizen of the United States until 35 years after Ted’s birth in Canada, when he renounced his Canadian citizenship and naturalized to the United States in 2005.
    The problems were quite obvious... unlike Obama, who had taken great care to forge a false documented past before running for office, Ted had already proven to the world that he was not a natural born U.S. Citizen at birth, but rather a documented Canadian citizen at birth.
    Not only had he committed election fraud by not disclosing to Texas voters that he was a Canadian citizen in 2012, now he was about to join Barack Hussein Obama in an even greater national effort to defraud all American voters by seeking the U.S. Oval Office less than a year after renouncing his Canadian citizenship.
    Back on December 18, 2013, the North American Law Center was anticipating this sad moment in history when they directed a certified letter to Sen. Ted Cruz essentially begging him not to step out on this political limb, as he has many enemies ready to saw it off. Cruz never responded to that letter...
    Enter the Harvard lawyers again... On March 11, 2015 – two Harvard law friends published a Harvard Law Review opinion declaring both Ted Cruz and Barack Hussein Obama “natural born Citizens” of the United States. 
    The key opinion in the entire legal wordsmithing document is this...
    “While some constitutional issues are truly difficult, with framing-era sources either nonexistent or contradictory, here, the relevant materials clearly indicate that a “natural born Citizen” means a citizen from birth with no need to go through naturalization proceedings.”
    What the Harvard experts are saying is this, gee, we just can’t find any documents to confirm the Founders intent of the term natural born Citizen, and so, we think it means this... a “citizen at birth” is a “natural born Citizen.” 
    Never mind that Harvard and Yale law buddies had already decided that “illegal aliens” are really just “undocumented citizens,” or that they long ago twisted naturalization laws to make “illegal aliens” born on U.S. soil “anchor babies” who are also considered to be “citizens at birth.”
    The legal experts have now expanded all of our naturalization terms to mean “natural born Citizen,” using naturalization amendments, cases and statues to do it. In so doing, they are eliminating the true meaning and purpose of the Article II natural born Citizen requirement from our Constitution without having to endure the cumbersome process of actually amending the Constitutional legally.
    And, what was once a long fought leftist battle to eliminate all Constitutional foundations for sovereign government by a sovereign nation and of its sovereign citizens, has now been joined by Republicans like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal, none of whom are actually eligible for the Oval Office, and all of whom know it.
    Only days later, on the heels of the Harvard opinion piece, Sen. Ted Cruz stood among 12,000 Liberty University students forced to attend the event, and announced he was running for the office of President.
    If you ask the average American citizen what natural born Citizen is, they do not know. Even many, who think they know, do not know. Since Barack Obama, numerous definitions based on numerous political agendas have been floated, making what was once a very common simple term too ambiguous to enforce.
    The people have allowed the lawyers to amend the Constitution by simply publishing a legal opinion. 
    And today, we are witnessing the death of the American Presidency... from this point forward, any person born anywhere on earth to any foreign Father or Mother can be president of the United States in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution. 
    The only documentation Obama ever proffered was a forged COLB (Certification of Live Birth, not birth certificate) from Hawaii, which Hawaii prints off and hands out like bingo cards at a Saturday night church social... and the only documentation Ted Cruz has proffered is proof that he was born a Canadian citizen at birth and remained such until May 14, 2014... on this basis, Harvard Law experts say both can be president...
    Now, what does natural born Citizen really mean and why did our Founder’s choose that term in an overt effort to prevent people like Barack Obama, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Vladimir Putin and bin Laden’s son from ever gaining access to the Oval Office?
    The answer is found in the Founders statements identifying the source of the term, Vattel’s international treatise on Natural Law, The Law of Nations, book 1 – Chapter XIX. Every American can easily find it, read it, understand it and know it. There is nothing at all ambiguous about it... unless you let your political agenda drive your facts.
    The true definition of the natural born Citizen requirement for the Oval Office as described throughout the entirety of Chapter XIX can be summed up in this section from 212...
    “As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”
    Barack Obama’s Father was never a U.S. Citizen. Ted Cruz’s Father was never a U.S. citizen either, until he naturalized 35 years after Ted’s birth. Ted remained a legal citizen of Canada until he renounced his Canadian citizenship on May 14, 2014. Without any U.S. documents, Ted is now a man without a country, according to any authentic documentation. Is Ted Cruz just an “illegal alien” holding a U.S. Senate seat and running for President?
    Nothing pertaining to naturalization pertains to natural born, nothing. Naturalization is the process by which an alien (non-citizen) becomes an American citizen.
    Natural born Citizenship is a Natural Law term describing a condition that either exists or does not exist at the moment of birth. There is nothing anyone can do to become a natural born Citizen, once they were not born a natural born Citizen. Lies offered by Ivy League lawyers to the contrary are offered with the explicit intent to alter the Founder’s intent, and once again, they know it... It is a Common Law practice they all learned in law school. Common Law is the legal British practice of openly subverting Constitutional Law.
    So, people with no U.S. documentation, “undocumented citizens” according to Ivy League lawyers, are “natural born Citizens” and average citizens must rely upon Ivy League Law experts (or judges, political appointees) to help Americans figure out what the true meaning of “is” is... a term the average American is not intelligent enough to figure out for themselves. This is not a new tactic, Hitler did it with the help of Goebbels, Marx did it, Castro did it, Stalin and Lenin did it, even Hugo Chavez did it...

    If allowed to succeed, again, the American people will have participated in the end of the American Presidency. Their silence will be their consent...
    That is the worst part of this entire saga in the demise of the United States... The people put their politics ahead of their Constitution and as a result, they are about to let it all slip away, their freedom and liberty, all of it.
    The mission to globalize the United States is only possible once it is no longer a requirement that only a True American, a natural born Citizen, can hold the office of Commander-in-Chief. The people appear willing to accept this now.
    AUTHOR NOTE: Everything presented in this column is verifiable fact. Now we will see how many American patriots care about these facts.

    Carey's review of news from the past few weeks... or so.

    Carey's review of news from the past few weeks... or so.

    First sports talk:
    Johnny Manziel is still in rehab, for drinking and learning how to play quarterback. Johnny insists he is not an alcoholic and added Hey if you were drafted by Cleveland you would quickly adopt drinking as your hobby also.

    Cleveland Browns GM Ray Farmer has been suspended for texting. Coach Pettine was angry and said What was Farmer thinking? We were busy trying to find ways to lose and he is texting us.

    Cleveland is so desperate for a quarterback they ran a Craiglist ad that read: Can you wear a football helmet? You could be the next Browns quarterback. No experience necessary.

    Browns owner Hazlem has been toying with the idea of trying to swap the Browns for the Tennessee Titans. Unfortunately the Browns would still be in Cleveland just the owners would change. Too bad as the Browns are definitely more suited for the Country Music Capital rather than the Capital of Rock & Roll.
    I could hear the songs now coming out of that deal.
    The Browns left Cleveland now we got their misery.
    Winning isn't everything especially when you never won.
    I promise to marry you when the Browns win the Super Bowl.
    I'd trade my hound dog n truck just for one quarterback.
    I been losing my whole life now I got a football team to go with it.

    The pressure is on Lebron James to make good on winning a championship. Rumor has it if he doesn't win he will be taking his talent to Myrtle Beach.

    On to news....
    Suddenly it doesn't matter where a person is born to become president. Obama was born in Kenya and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz was born in Canada. Thank goodness for states legalizing marijuana at least that is homegrown.

    Those who knew Andreas Lubitz, the German co-pilot who flew flight 4u9525 into an Alpine ravine said he may have suffered from “burnout”. I don't think he had burnout - I think he just crashed.

    Slick Willy made this boast I told you I was and still is the first and only black president. What true black president would sit around while EPA tries to regulate BBQ's? It wouldn't happen under my watch.

    More on Slick Willy. North Korea is recruiting young women to be part of a revived so-called "pleasure squad" that entertains dictator Kim Jong Un. Bill Clinton said he is jealous, When I was president all I had was Monica and well um Hillary.

    There has been backlash in Indiana over the religious freedom law. Homo's and lesbo's and other confused individuals say they won't shop or vacation there. Seems like the law is already very effective.

    Japanese can sleep soundly as the government's top military official revealed that the country's Air Self Defense Force has never encountered an extraterrestrial unidentified flying object. Though Japans government does believe in and are constantly on the lookout for Godzilla.

    Seattle restaurants had to raise prices considerably after minimum wage was raised to $15. Happy Meals will now have a joint included in them. The thinking is it will make people forget how much they paid for the overpriced bad food and give customers the munchies to buy more.

    And that's a wrap.

    The clamp down tightens a bit more – ANOTHER RULE – ANOTHER REGULATION!

    Friends,
    The clamp down tightens a bit more – ANOTHER RULE – ANOTHER REGULATION!
    Yesterday I went to Loan Smart in Wickliffe to get a money order. The lady asked if I was a previous customer and in their data base. I said all I want is a money order for $500.00 but yes I am a previous customer. She asked my name and checked the data base. I wasn't in the data base so she asked to see my license and handed me a card to fill out. I said all this for a money order? The other worker said its not us but a new law that was passed, I am sorry.

    I started to fill out the card but then quit when I completely read it. I told the lady this is ridiculous, I'll just go to my bank. With that I stormed out.

    What was on the card?
    Last Name – First Name – MI
    Address
    Home Phone
    SSN - ID# -  DL#
    Height - Hair Color - Sex M F
    Weight - Eye Color - Date of Birth
    Employer – Tel
    Nearest Relative
    Mothers Maiden Name
    Signature
    Teller - Date Entered

    All this for a money order! What has happened to our freedom?

     And you don't believe we are on the eve of... a take over.

    The Clamp Down Continues

    The Clamp Down Continues

    We are so worried about trying to get Republicans elected, fighting amongst ourselves over the best path to restore America and yet while we are bickering laws and regulations keep piling up at an alarming rate. Some of you may already be aware of these but I just found out and was very dismayed. What is going on here?

    1. Being self employed I quite often receive checks from clients made out to CASH. Friday at Ohio Savings, the bank I use, I was informed that this would be the last time I am able to deposit or cash a check made out to CASH, the check has to have a name. When was this passed? A few months ago was the answer I received.

    2. My sister was going to be a day late on her house payment. Her boyfriend not wanting to see her get a late fee went to her bank and was going to deposit a $1,000.00 into her account. The bank would not allow him to make a deposit that large. It didn't matter who he was to her or his credentials

    3. The Painesville Antique and Craft Co-Op informed the vendors used infant car seats can not be sold, each seat is dated.

    These may seem like minor inconveniences but when you add up all the little things that have been outlawed, regulated, or over taxed recently you realize how our freedom is waning and soon will be a thing of the past.

    I wanted to add this comment from Steve M., this is his recent experience:

    Hi,
    I went to my bank to withdraw some cash from my account and..........was
    asked.... what are you going to use this for.

    I said "stuff" and they notated it on the back of my withdrawl form.

    I was shocked and later went to another bank to ask about these rules.

    The new RULE:  if you withdraw $1000 or more , it will be reported to
    the Irs


    Big Brother is tracking you.

    Steve

    Carey's Free Book Offer Number 6 & 7


    Friends,
    Sorry this offer is not the book I wrote, for that follow the link at the bottom.

    I have way to many books to read and little space. I would love to reread some of them but would never get to the rest. In the past I would have either donated the books I read or just simply leave it somewhere for someone to find. Now I have decided to offer these books to you BUT you have to be the first one to respond.
     
    Those who like the book and live local stop by or let me know where to meet you. Out of town, just pay the media rate and I will mail it.
     

    The books I am offering this time are both good reads for different reasons.

    Book number 1 is: Stupid White Men by Michael Moore. A friend gave this book to me and I was reluctant to read it. I had an opinion of Moore that was not too favorable from what I heard about him from the conservative media. This friend prodded me into reading it. I am glad I did, one should never have an opinion of someone until they find out for themselves. My conclusion is this - Michael Moore is one big fat stupid confused white man. Since my eyes have been opened concerning the Republican Party Moore does make sense and shed light on the GOP of their dirty deeds. That's the good Moore. The rest of the book is nothing but liberal mindless puke, I now know why I dislike Moore.
    It is still a good read and will enlighten you. Be prepared to like and hate Moore all that the same time but I think you will hate him more than like as I do.

    Book number 2 is: Paper Lion by George Plimpton 1968
    George Plimpton a writer goes undercover and try's out for the football team Detroit Lions. We read so much how the players are off the hook with their partying ways today but this is nothing new. Football back then was a mans game played by men not the prima donna's of today. Drinking, partying, abusing their bodies - men behaving like boys then taking it out on the field. Times have changed and so has the game of football. This is a really good read and will have you rooting for George as he goes through training camp and actually plays in a scrimmage game. This was the golden age of football, never to be seen again.

    If you want either one, be the first to respond.

    random humor n thoughts

    Friends,
    REMEMBER - Its your fault if you are offended by my humor, you are the one reading this, I didn't force you.

    Random humor I wrote the last few months or so.

    President Obama weighed in on Johnny Manziel's decision to enter rehab.
    Obama said If I had a white son he would be just like Johnny.

    What does the Pope and Obama have in common? They both think they're God

    FDA may lift the ban on homosexuals donating blood. Soon blood banks will ask what blood type are you or do you give fruit juice?

    Mitt is now for amnesty and anxious for it so he can rehire the illegals that were maintaining his mansion that he let go during his presidential run.

    I got my hands on a riot plan for Ferguson that was not tried. It called for setting up hoops and tossing out basketballs to the crowd.

    Short commentaries on issues that people have asked my opinion on.
    Global Warming – It's still cold!

    Bill Cosby – Being raped by a comedian is not funny.

    Now on to more serious issues......
    I haven't written one of these in sometime, “The word on the street.” These are random talks I had with people on the street... well not actually but you know what I mean.

    Shopping at Marc's an elderly lady overheard me tell Ruth how cheap a marble cleaner/polish is. She then came over and asked what's it for? After explaining it's for counter tops I asked where she was from because of her strong accent. She introduced herself, her name was Rita and from England. I asked if she missed her homeland. She has been in America for years but yes misses England dearly. But Rita quickly added I won't go back, it is very dangerous, I hate those Muslims. What I liked about her right in the middle of the store she spoke up loudly and said what she felt. Then Rita asked me as if I would know, why would they allow that thing to be built down the street (Muslim Center in Richmond Hts). I said I understand Rita I agree with you, America has lost their minds.

    Before I walked away Rita told me if you ever see me make sure you tap me on the shoulder and say hi.

    A prominent Cleveland businessman who will remain anonymous has a warrant out for him according to his son who is also a successful businessman/realtor. The reason is his work shop which is in a industrial/commercial area of Cleveland had weeds growing throw the drive. He just found the notice for the violation that somehow was misplaced. Since he didn't respond in time a warrant was issued. If this businessman would have been stopped for anything he could have been arrested.

    If you would see where his shop is you would be amazed. It was broken into on Christmas eve and this was not the first time. The city is lucky to have his office in that area but instead they complain about weeds growing in his back lot.

    This same person who told me about his dad had this to say about Tebow when our talk drifted towards Cleveland sports and football in general. Tebow is solid, a terrific individual not like some of the Browns who can be seen all hours of the night acting like idiots in the casino.

    Without mentioning names I knew which players he was referring to. And then you wonder why the Browns fell apart.

    Julia my Kenyan friend had this comment about my recent email on “Islam the religion of peace more like pieces.”
    And the saddest part Carey is that for most of them that's all they know they have been brain washed from when they were  young. By the time someone (grows up they) believe that committing murder is good and a ticket to paradise. Pieces indeed I can tell you from experience that the presence of Muslims is the absolute absence of peace I don't care what they rattle 

    Strongsville is an affluent suburb of Cleveland. According to a person I spoke with who has ties with the Strongsville police, when their police officers retire they retire as millionaires because of their pay and their retirement investments. So unlike Cleveland police who lives are daily on the line and barely make a living.

    A Cleveland manufacturer of medical devices has told their workers all the perks and benefits will be discontinued, company picnics, outing and bonuses are gone. The reason is ObamaCare which has added $750,000 in additional costs for healthcare to the company.

    Carey, yes we are VERY conservative Christians, believe in the constitution, the Bible, etc..and big zero is the worst thing ever that America has ever done, all those lazy, want it for nothing folks got it. he is a menace and anyone that read his book knew what he was way before the election. My problem is now I cannot follow Republicans anymore, they picked Boehner again, who is kissing big zero's butt constantly, and they (Republicans) never pick a candidate that we can follow, we all knew McCain could not win, it is almost like they don't wish to win. We do follow the tea party.

    Annette


    Annette, The Tea Party moment has come and gone as far as I am concerned. They did good by informing the masses albeit not all of the voting public. The bad is they would not stray from the GOP apron strings. So in essence when you voted Tea Party it was still voting for a Republican candidate who if elected was either hampered by the established from being effective or was pressured so much he/she then became as we call them a RINO. So what is the answer? As you alluded to a third party. But what third party is worthy of our support for the things we stand for? I challenge you to look further into the Constitution Party which I think if you do you will have found a home.

    Talk about weird. I called for a 2003 Chevy Astro that was listed online at a Ford dealer. When I inquired about it I was told they decided to use it as their parts truck and service vehicle. What kind of advertising does that show for Ford? It also proves that America does not have a replacement vehicle to fill the void of the Astro and how inept GM was for discontinuing one of the best midsize vans of all time. Countless businesses are still searching for them.

    I maintain a limo company and had many talks with the owner. One of the vehicles in their fleet is a Toyota and another is a Chevy Suburban. Some of the customers complain of these vehicles when they arrive to pick them up. The owners response is Lincoln no longer makes a Town Car and/or would you like to pay the price if we stocked our fleet with Mercedes? She is not happy with her vehicle selection either but this is what it has come to in America.

    She also can not get over the price of the new Suburbans she just bought - $56,000.00! WOW!


    Facebook we all love to use but how I wish we didn't have to. This was my comment on my time line when Facebook omitted my post: The damn Nazi politically correct liberal Godless Muslim lovers omitted my post of an Islamist woman being shot. I am not happy. We can show how many other barbaric or perverted acts but something against Islam is removed. Has this happened to anyone else? Am I over reacting?

    Man will believe in something. When you remove anything it creates a vacuum. We removed the God of the bible. In its place is nothing. Filling that nothing is evil rushing in. Should we be surprised with so many things unraveling?

    One of the more interesting theories I have ever heard and it may have merit - why didn't I think of this? I enjoyed a conversation with a man at a restaurant. One of those conversations that bounced and bounced from one thing to another. His theories on the pyramids is the Dinosaurs helped build them. He thinks man has the time line all wrong and dinosaurs were around with man and he used them as we do horses. Why not, it could be possible.
    Repeating - We could once again see oil sky rocket to levels above 4 bucks per gallon. This same scenario played out in the early 90’s when oil fell. US refineries couldn’t compete and ultimately shut down. I am hoping all my friends are taking this brief economic pause to get finances in order the best they can.

    Clearing Out All Notes From 2014

    Friends, I am clearing out all of the notes I jotted down and articles I started in 2014. I accumulated these throughout the year so please remember that as I am just NOW posting what I wrote months and weeks ago. So here they are, random thoughts and notes in no particular order:


    Is the US the anti-Christ? I had an epiphany one night at work - Could the US be the anti-Christ? I just heard about the US wanting to put sanctions on Russia that would make it hard for that country to buy or sell their goods. How many countries has the US put sanctions on? Is the US the beast? I know Americans are straying far left in regards to respect and belief in God and religion and placing the government instead as their supplier for their needs. When God supplies there are no conditions when government is the supplier there are many.

    Russian Putnam needs to go. He stands in the way of the world banks and a world government. That is why dictators and strong independent leaders are being taken out and democracy is being ushered in. Sure democracy is a good thing when implemented properly and with the right motive. But I am afraid dictators need to go and democracy set up so the people will ultimately get so tired of wars and economic hardship they will stand in line and vote for a one world leader to handle things.

    What happened to the Malaysian airliners? I found this so fascinating that a country could lose two airplanes. My immediate thought on hearing about the second Malaysian airplane that was supposedly downed by Russia over the Ukraine was - Could the second airplane actually be the first airplane that went missing? Was this all staged to put pressure on Putin? Why don't we hear about this anymore?

    Oil price slide. What is intended to ruin Russia’s economy can also hurt ours. Short term this oil price drop is great for everyone but too much of a drop we could once again see oil sky rocket to levels above 4 bucks per gallon. This same scenario played out in the early 90’s when oil fell. US refineries couldn’t compete and ultimately shut down. Somehow a freeze or a set price needs to put in place. I said for some time that a price of $2.50 per gallon would stabilize things and it is a price most Americans could live with, this up and down plays havoc with everyone’s budget including city budgets.


    Oil price slide thought 2. Is this also a way for Obama to stop the completion of the pipe line? Environmental nuts would love it.


    One last thought on the oil drop though it is more of a question as I don’t know. I wrote an article a few years back about oil prices going up and the reasons why. One reason was speculators driving the oil price up. Well what happened to the speculators did they suddenly stop bidding and or buying? Maybe the US government and world banks control this commodity more than we think? Does the price really rest on what they say and the speculators are just scape goats and the rest of the reasons are just excuses?

    Sometimes quitting is only a door for new beginnings. I have said this for some time regarding events in my life even regarding my involvement with politics. The Republican party has lied, manipulated, waffled on homosexuality, immigration, gave us Agenda 21, Patriot act, SB 193, Nixon, Bush, Bush Jr., McCain, Romney, shall I go on? So quitting the GOP has broadened my outlook in a positive manner by joining with Constitution Party. Stay where you are trying to change the unchangeable or join us and build a party. Time is wasting.

    This is what we are up against. I was having a discussion on Facebook about amnesty. This is the reply I received - Leonnah wrote: "Obama cant even get his own people To lock his own front doors. How the hell do you expect Him to close borders??? He's not super man , cut the man some slack . If u ask me he did a hell of a lot more than BUSH did. He really does have a lot of people against him on things. He has a lot of people who make him look bad. Some things are out of his hands.

    We really are becoming a nation of suckers and fools.

    Tea Party – Christian – Conservatives still don't get it. This is part of an email discussion I had about promoting the Constitution Party and the growth of that party. N wrote: Any headway this party makes will be more support for the evil democrats. BAD news.

    In return I wrote: God says stand firm for what is the truth, tell me where is the truth in supporting a Republican Party that now endorses homosexuality? I need a serious answer so I can understand. I constantly challenge and ask Conservatives the above question but never have I received an answer. When I do I will share it.

    I was asked by several my feelings on the last election. They are very mixed. I have lost complete faith in the GOP stopping the sodomite agenda, overturning Obamacare, sending back the illegals, getting rid of NAFTA just to name a few issues. Have these GOP victories slowed the advance of communism into this country - maybe a bit.


    Don't Complain about Trash Fees that May be Coming to Wickliffe If people think 200.00 a year is high for trash service, see what we pay monthly in Barberton or check alternatives. In Barberton, if it doesn't fit in the can, yard waste and all, it isn't taken. If it is left on the curb-you are cited. Anything that doesn't fit in a can has to have a sticker that is purchased through the city and the cost varies with the size of the item. You guys get quarterly bills and we are charged monthly, and that includes the watershed fee also.
    Its sad that people have gotten so use to being taxed and or fees added for basic services that when someone else gets gouged but in a lesser manner we say hey we got it worse so shut up and accept it. Corruption got us to this point and on no level should we succumb quietly. Politicians and the criminal element have driven prices up and bankrupted our nation where the government needs to raise taxes. Yes it is but one reason but it is a very real legit reason.
    As for garbage fees in Wickliffe,I say shut down the parks or just let them go to nature and let us enjoy the woods. There are ways to cut expenses. Even the elaborate court houses such as the one built in Willoughby a few years back, why not a simple brick and mortar square building?

    Election thoughts, a look at only two races. Dave Macko lost because he tried to do it his way. The average American voter cannot grasp more than a few issues and the majority are still swayed by warm and fuzzy high dollar campaigns. Whether Dave was right or wrong he displayed all his cards and that alienated more than a few. He should have concentrated on a few issues and ran with those. Conspiracy theories again whether right or wrong do not work on the average voter, Dave should have left those aside. On a few stances I had a problem with Dave but on a whole he was THE MAN for the job. We missed it and are sorely hurting not having Macko represent us. Now we are left with the task of hounding Dave Joyce as if suddenly he will listen to the Tea Party movement and turn right. As for me, you can call Joyce’s office to complain I won’t. After all why should he listen, he won the election and will again and again until he decides to retire or we retire him by electing him a new rep.


    Kim Laurie lost because of the fickle voter. People complain they want one of us, an average person elected and not a lawyer or career politician but when the time comes they vote contrary of what they've been seeking. Kim Laurie was that candidate. Word on the street was she is not knowledgeable enough and has no experience but again people also complain of career politicians. And as much as people like bogeyman stories and listen to conspiracies and sort of believe them when the time comes to vote they can't separate conspiracies that are true from fabricated lies that sound good because they don't want to face the truth. So hats off to Dan Troy for exploiting this against Kim Laurie that she had no experience and she believes in conspiracies. The fickle voters voted for the career politician not knowing he is the bogeyman and against Kim's conspiracies which were the truth such as regionalism. In the end the voters will find out the hard way.


    Why are we surprised by the proposed transgender restrooms and locker rooms? Obama is one of the most effective presidents ever. What he said he would do he has. I am not talking about the Obama the news portrayed but the Obama who attended debates held by such groups as the LGBT. Obama told the LGBT that he would do all he can for them and he is and that includes restrooms and locker rooms open to either sex


    Don't shop where? I thought this email I received was interesting If a company wants YOUR Christmas dollars, but they're ashamed of Jesus Christ or ashamed of the Christmas holiday, and won't even mention the word Christmas for fear of offending somebody, THEY WON'T GET MY BUSINESS.
    On that persons list of stores to avoid was Victoria's Secret. I never knew that store became the store for Christian Conservatives.

    When will Americans storm the gates of ALL government offices?

    Friends,
    When do you think law abiding Americans will say enough and really storm the gates of ALL government offices? I am beyond frustrated with all the little things that are constantly being regulated or outlawed by our government.

    Here are two frustrations I had recently.


    I've had a nagging cough from congestion for about 3 weeks. I tried a few things but nothing really knocked it out. Well I remember as a child when we got sick and the kids cough medicine didn't work mom would pull out the yicky adult stuff. It struck terror in me but usually relieved my symptoms. I remember it being a clear medicine in a clear bottle with an orangish taste that burned a little when swallowed. I tried finding it at the store with no luck so I did an on-line search and found this:


    Q. For years I used terpin hydrate as an expectorant when I had a cough. It worked.
    It was sold over the counter and one small bottle would last me the entire cold and flu season.
    I would like to buy some before flu season hits this year. Over-the-counter cough remedies on the market today are like water. I drink them and they do NOT work.
    Can terpin hydrate still be purchased without a prescription? I?ve never found another cough syrup that works as well.
    A. Terpin hydrate was a popular cough medicine from the late 1800s until the mid 1990s. Then the FDA banned it in on the grounds that it had not been proven effective.
    As an expectorant, terpin hydrate was supposed to loosen mucus and relieve coughs. It was derived from natural sources such as oil of turpentine or compounds found in oregano, thyme and eucalyptus.
    Terpin hydrate is not available in the U.S.


    And from another site:

    Terpin Hydrate cough syrup has been a favorite cough remedy for over 100 years, but due to legislation that made it no longer feasible to manufacture, the preparation is now available only from our compounding pharmacy.

    Upon further investigating I found that DM, dextromethorphan, has been approved but is not that effective. 


     IF what I found on-line is true this sentence says a lot 
     ...terpin hydrate... was derived from natural sources such as oil of turpentine or compounds found in oregano, thyme and eucalyptus. 

    Some chemical company had to pay someone off to get terpin hydrate yanked from store shelves.


    Frustration two
    My tenant called and said her laundry tub was leaking. I went over and found that the drain hose was torn. They probably shoved a screw driver or knife down it to unplug the drain. No problem I will just run over to the Home Depot down the street and buy the hose but not so.

    I asked for help in finding the hose. The man replied we no longer carry it, maybe other stores do but we don't. So he gave me a straight PVC pipe with a fitting. I said I am not sure if the laundry tub sits directly over the drain, if it doesn't I will have to move the tub around or come back and buy elbows. I will try your competitor for the hose. He understood.

    So off to Lowes I went. I asked for help and the man said well I do have what you need but I don't. He preceded to tell me they no longer sell laundry tub hoses because of government codes, they want you to run PVC pipe.

     I explained about the drain possibly not being aligned directly over the drain in the floor. He then set me up with 3 different fittings, a hose and hose clamps for over $12.00 instead of a pre-made $4.00 hose. And just think if my sink ever gets inspected it would not meet code.

    I am baffled. This rubber hose has been on laundry tubs/slop sinks since probably the beginning of indoor plumbing. And I know in my basement I frequently have to unscrew the hose or wiggle it to unclog it. With a straight pipe that will be much more of a hassle.

    If that wasn't bad enough the Lowes worker told me one more government story, all brass fittings got a lot more expensive because they can no longer contain ANY lead. He said the amount of lead in the fittings was so minuscule that no way would it get you sick. The lead was added to keep cost down. He showed me one fitting that was $5 it is now $8.

     Please think about this IF and I write IF Home Depot and Lowes is correct we should fear government on all levels. If a government is big enough to micro manage and outlaw a simple rubber hose it can outlaw or regulate anything including your lifestyle and beliefs.

      When will people storm the gates and say - ENOUGH!

    Big Government on all levels is wrong


    We are always so worried about the Federal Government infringing on our rights but equally as bad or more so is our local government.

    I attended the vendor meeting for the antique co-op Antiques and Uniques which is soon to open in the old Big Lots building in Wickliffe. The meeting hi-lighted the rules of what you can or can not sell. Some things are a no brainer such as explosives but one item not allowed had all of us stunned. Clothing of any sort new or used can not be sold. I raised my hand and asked what about vintage military jackets from WWII or the Korean War. Nope.

    It was explained to be able to sell those items they would need to purchase a permit of $200 and get approval if I heard correctly, from a panel and neighboring stores. Crazy! One of the things people look for at places such as this is gently used clothing or vintage threads whether jackets, hats or even shoes.

    Also I have to add... back in the early '90 Wickliffe had an indoor flea market where Gabriel Brothers is. You paid for you space and what ever you made that was for you to declare on your taxes. But now vendors will have a form to fill out. Either this is new or the difference is one was a flea market and this is a co-op unless it was on the books and never enforced.

    All I know to me this is senseless intrusion on people who are trying to make extra dollars. Very few make anything substantial doing this. Many are retired and some do it just to make a little extra to help with living expenses.

    I am forwarding this to Councilman at Large Matt Jaworski to help shed light on this.

    Undervoting as a Choice

    Undervoting as a Choice 
    Are you like I and fed up with the choices at the ballot box which in reality is not a choice?  Do you feel too often that your vote is being wasted on having to choose between the lesser of two choices (highlighted it seems like in the 1994 Jim Carey – Jeff Daniels movie “Dumb and Dumber”)?  In other words, are you fed up with politics as usual?  If so, read on.


    I have already warned some of you that if you are a conservative or what I and others now term “a constitutionalist,” remember this, as constitutionalists / conservatives, the Republicans are counting on your support and your vote this coming Tuesday.  This is why they will never pay any attention to you or all those TEA Party / Liberty Groups (among other limited-government, liberty-minded people) because in the final analysis almost all are going to vote (as "good responsible citizens" do) and thus vote Republican.  They would never vote for a Democrat and in most races currently across the state there are no other choices. The mainstream Republicans are counting on that from you.  Thereby, the voices of those who support “TEA Party Candidates" or other “conservative” views and candidates has been silenced.  The Republicans are counting upon the “fact” that you have no other choice.


    Well, there is a choice.  It is termed the “Undervote.”  More and more attention is being paid to this phenomenon.  While I wish we in the Constitution Party had a full slate of candidates in every precinct in order to give constitutionalist / conservatives a positive vote choice, the fact is we do not; all we can offer at the moment is the next best thing and that is Undervoting.


    What is “Undervoting?”  That is where a person goes to his local precinct and obtains a ballot but then does NOT vote for either candidate in certain races, or maybe only votes for one choice when two positions are open, and so on.  In some races around the country, Undervotes in last few elections have accounted for as much as one-third of the votes, thus politicians, political pundits, analysis groups, and reporters are beginning to pay more and more attention to the Undervotes.  As a matter of fact, some precinct workers are beginning to discuss adding a category to the ballot called “none of the above” to ensure that the Undervotes were intentional and not accidental.


    A couple of considerations concerning Undervoting.  First it is important that you go vote and not stay home.  If you stay home, the people to whom you are trying to send a message don’t know you are any more than an apathetic potential voter.  However, IF one goes to the polls and pulls a ballot then the politicians have a better comprehension that you are willing and able to vote, you are just dissatisfied with “politics as usual.” 


    Second, it is important that you cast at least one vote in one race as opposed to turning in a blank ballot.  Blank ballots are too easy to construe as non-responsive or mistaken ballots.  However, if you vote in at least one race, it is much more difficult for the precinct to discard your ballot as non-responsive.  Even voting “issues only” is a means to establish your presence as an active voter although I like voting for at least one person seeking political office. 


    So, this year I encourage you to register your displeasure with the current political process of selecting candidates by going to your precinct, pulling a ballot, and voting for a limited number of candidates and any issues.


    As many of you know, the Constitution Party (and the Green Party) has been fighting Senate Bill 193, passed last fall by the Ohio Legislature, primarily along Party lines.  It is currently under review by the Federal Courts.  If allowed to stand, it will effectively eliminate “minor” parties from gaining ballot access, thus it will be highly unlikely there will be any “third” party candidates on the ballot in the future.  As such, until the Ohio Constitution and Voting Laws are changed to allow fair, equal, and reasonable ballot access to all Parties and independents (a ballot initiative the Constitution Party is currently developing – hopefully for the 2016 elections), your only means of protesting politics-as-usual may well be by Undervoting.
