On January 15, a new book titled, “Does the “U.S. Two-Party System Still Work?” will be published by Greenhaven Press. It is a collection of 24 short essays by various authors. The lead author is Noah Berlatsky, but he didn’t write any of the content; he collected the essays. The paperback is only 80 pages. BAN doesn’t know yet the identity of any of the authors of the essays. The paperback will be $21.85.
Save some cash.
Nonstop ONE [winning] party minority rule gerrymanders in the U.S.A. since 4 July 1776.
1/2 votes x 1/2 districts = 1/4 indirect minority rule (much worse before 1964 – most of U.S.A. history).
Generations of folks brainwashed into thinking that the U.S.A. is somehow *democratic* — actually totally EVIL party hack oligarchies — de facto party hack monarchies in the U.S.A. and in all 50 States.
ONE result — the current govt fixed debts of about $ 15.5 TRILLION at the end of 2009.
Population about 307 MILLION — do the math.
Send your debt check in NOW.
P.R. and A.V. NOW.
On a different note, who are the people behind the CA Independent Voter Network? They have commentary about and a link on their website to an article by Gerald Celente, saying that:
By 2012, Celente is predicting the rise of a highly competitive 3rd Party to launch the Second American Revolution. It may sound a bit far-fetched for most, considering the two-party stranglehold on DC, but keep in mind that Celente predicted the rise of Ross Perot before the 1992 election. At this time, Celente has not identified a specific individual whom he believes will lead the charge, but he is labeling the party as “Progressive Libertarian”, progressive in the sense of a much greater emphasis on food safety, health, education, the environment, and anti-war issues, and libertarian in the sense of a return to a stricter adherence to the Constitution, balanced budgets, states’ rights, a strong Dollar, and a much more limited, cost-effective national defense.

I’m guessing that I was sent their brochure because I’m a DTS voter, but I’d be interested to hear if any others out there received it who are registered with a party.
The California Independent Voter Network’s website calls the “top two open primary” ballot measure an “initiative.”
Actually, it’s a referendum, since it’s being placed on the ballot by the legislature rather than by the citizens.
#2 The Donkey / Elephants will do whatever it takes to STOP any major 3rd party from getting started.
A mere about $ 5 TRILLION in govt spending in 2009 — for the benefit of the party hack special interest gangs — even if the borrowed cash (about 1.9 TRILLION in 2009) is taking the U.S.A. to national bankruptcy.
The EVIL Donkey / Elephant top MONSTERS do NOT give a damn about their EVIL.
The election ROT in the U.S.A. started in the old Virginia colony formed in 1607.

Point: Citizens outnumber those elected in Washington DC by about 100,000 to 1.
Question: When will the citizens of the USA wake up and realize this fact !

The original, American State’s Rights Party were the 19th century Democrats, from Jefferson to Cleveland (see The Changing Face of Democrats on Amazon and claysamerica.com). State’s Rights was challenged as a means of retaining and justifying slavery in the South. The proponents of greater federal power, from Hamilton, Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln, were racists. They did not believe the Africans were whole people, and that view was continued by 20th century Democrats who championed segregation. Their interests focused on building the power of the central government and were willing to go to war for it. Look what it has given us today? Slavery would have gone away in time. State’s Rights implied people at the local could rule themselves, as was the original purpose when government was no further than the governed than one day’s horseback ride. Republicans and modern Democrats believe distant, powerful government rules best, and that has ruined the New World’s difference and ability to provide prosperity to more people. We need State’s Rights back! Claysamerica.com.
states rights with a clear understanding that minorities can not be stomped out of existence by the Mob Rule mentality. Watch what you wish for.
