John Kline Despite the Administration and Congressional Democrats' insistence that tax cuts do not help an ailing economy, Obama economic advisor Christina Romer recently confirmed what Republicans have been saying for years: "tax cuts have positive output effects."

Rep. John Kline’s star wasn’t exactly shining when he first made a run at representing the 2nd Congressional District in the U.S. House. The Republican lost two consecutive races 1998 and 2000 before winning his current seat in the 2002 election.

John Kline Yesterday, the second most powerful Democrat in the House of Representatives, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Md.), mocked suggestions that Congress should adopt reforms to prohibit the House from considering any bill that has not been publicly available on the Internet for at least three days. Hoyer called the idea - whi...ch has the support of the majority of Americans - “unreasonable” and “not relevant.”

You asked for it and you got it: the financial reform package, the most sweeping set of Wall Street reforms since the Great Depression was online for 72 hours before being voted on in the House of Representatives - eventually the Senate will take up the bill as well.

    • Karen Rae Mord GRR! Just how does Hoyer think he, or any of our representatives and senators are able to represent us? We evidenatally aren't supposed to know about the bills being consideed. Come to think of it, that's the mentality of the Dumbocrats. Those in congress don't get to read some of the bills in advance of voting either. UFF DA! What HAS this country cme to?

John Kline Financial regulation, like health care and the President's other economic policies, injects even more uncertainty into the already struggling economy. As the New York Times reports, a number of the details have been left for regulators to work out, inevitably setting off confusion that could last for years.

The law is a culmination of two years of lobbying and debate over how to respond to the excesses that caused the financial crisis.

      As you might be aware, on July 6th, Attorney General Eric Holder filed suit against Arizona to prevent the state from implementing its new immigration enforcement law, SB 1070. It is very unfortunate that the attorney general has decided that dealing with the 12-18 million illegal aliens living illegally in the United States is not worth the Department of Justice's time.

      Fortunately, some Members of Congress are trying to do something about the government's unjust, pro-illegal alien lawsuit. Sens. David Vitter and Jim DeMint introduced an amendment to H.R. 5297 (the Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010) that would have prevented the Obama administration, including the Department of Justice and other agencies, from participating in lawsuits seeking to invalidate the recently enacted Arizona immigration law. Unfortunately, this amendment failed, 55-43.

      Please call your U.S. Senator(s) and blast him/her for opposing the DeMint amendment. Remind them that Arizona's law simply allows the state to work with the federal government to secure the border and enforce immigration law (something the government refuses to do).

John Kline According to a Washington newspaper, a group of House Democrats are criticizing their own party for failing to back specific deficit-reduction proposals. Finally, some Congressional Democrats agree their party leadership lacks the will to respond to Americans' call to cut spending.

John Kline This line from today's Roll Call tells you all you need to know about Obamacare: "A senior House Democratic aide said Members are particularly eager to tout passage of financial reform in their districts because, unlike health care, the public recognizes that it won’t suffer under it."

www.rollcall.com
President Barack Obama can finally chalk up a win when he signs financial reform legislation into law this week. The trick now is to spin that victory into electoral gains this November, and both the White House and Democratic leaders are coordinating on a strategy they hope will make that happen.

        Hi,

        The Nation of Islam in their continuing efforts to censure me and others in the Internet filed a copyright claim yesterday and had my clip disabled about Farrakhan and Obama meeting privately at the White house. FCN is ...the Final Call News, the publishing branch of the NOI. I have filed a counter claim which involes sending my contact information to them so that they can sue me in federal court, if they want.

        This shows that they do not want it known that Farrkahn visited Obama in private. If you have time, please write your representatives and senators and complain about Obama defiling the White House by inviting and receiving this genocidal hate monger in the White House. You can send this link to them as proof:

        http://www.whitehouse.gov/waves/all/farrakhan#visitor-data

        Also, ask why the media does not report this. My representative, Susan Davis, tried to claim that this was "a different Louis Farrakhan," but he has the same middle Intitial as the head of the Black Muslims and Louis Farrakhan also has a son named "Nasir." So, this lie is not believeable. How man Louis E. Farrakhan's are there in the US that rank high enough in Obama's mind to be invited to the White House. Answer, one!!

        Reportedly, Jeremiah Wright and the Head of the Black Panther Party, Malik Shabazz are also in the visitor database.

    John Kline Last week, the United States marked its third-largest single-day debt increase. The one-day increase for June 30 totaled $165,931,038,264.30 - bigger than the entire annual deficit for fiscal year 2007. The figure works out to nearly $1,500 for every U.S. household, or more than 10 times the median daily household income.

    www.washingtontimes.com
    The nation's debt leapt $166 billion in a single day last week, the third-largest increase in U.S. history, and it comes at a time when Congress is balking over higher spending and debt has become a key policy battleground.

        Challenging Eligibility in Illinois- Press Release
        Published on 07/08/10
        From Patriots Heart Network

        Patriot’s Heart Network’s founder, Chalice Jackson (aka Sharon Meroni), has returned to the Illinois elections system with the objective of af...firming eligibility requirements in the state of Illinois for all candidates running for office. In a unique strategy, Meroni challenged all candidates that will appear on the general ballot in the November 2010 election during the filing period. The thirty-two candidates have been challenged to prove their citizenship and age as required by the Illinois and United States Constitutions.

        The first hearing was held on Tuesday, July 6th, 2010. At this hearing, the objectors and candidates met and set out guidelines for the process. The Illinois State Board of Elections has jurisdiction over thirty-one of these challenges and McHenry County Election Board has jurisdiction over one. The initial hearing for McHenry County is scheduled on July 12th at 10am and is based on the objection to Sally Wiggins’ petition for the Twenty-second Circuit Judgeship.

        Mr. Christopher Pederson and Mr. Andy Martin, two candidates challenged by Ms. Meroni, did not file an appearance at the July 6th, Illinois State Board of Elections hearing. By default, this generally voids their right to appeal the objection. Mr. Pederson filed for six State and Federal offices and Mr. Martin filed for U.S. Senator. This leaves twenty-five active objections between the two election boards.

        The Illinois State Board of Elections Hearing Officer set the following schedule for procedure: Candidates and Objectors must file an appearance by July 6th, candidates must respond to the objection by July 9th (these objections are filed electronically), Ms. Meroni must respond to the candidates by July 14th, and candidates have until July 19th to make their final responses. The hearing will be scheduled following this process. During the July 6th meeting, Meroni received verification that the hearing officer would not consider petition signatures based on her objection. Most of these candidates have been challenged by multiple parties who have challenges based on petition signatures. Ms. Meroni’s challenge does not include examination of petition signatures.

        The candidates and/or their attorneys filed appearances at the hearing. The Libertarian Party is represented by Mr. Andrew Spiegel and the Constitution Party is represented by Mr. Doug E. IBendal. Scott Cohen and Baxter Swilley (Governor and Lt. Governor Candidates) are represented by Mr. James P. Nally. Mr. Nally filed birth certificates for Mr. Cohen and Mr. Swilley as part of his response on July 6th. The Constitution Party also filed a response for all of their candidates, but according to Mr. IBendal his response will not include any verification of age or citizenship for the Constitution Party candidates. The other candidates have until July 9th to complete their responses. Patriot’s Heart Network will post these responses in the evening on Friday, July 9th, 2010.

        Ms Meroni is asking all candidates on her ballot to voluntarily file a raised seal birth certificate or U.S. naturalization papers with the Board of Elections and post a link to the documents on their campaign websites. Because of filing dates, she was not able to challenge the major party candidates that appeared on the ballot in the February 2010 election. She filed a Temporary Restraining Order in Mchenry County Court in March 2010 asking the Illinois State Board of Election to verify eligibility of the candidates who won their party’s nomination in that election. The motion was denied. Consequently, Meroni has sent a letter to these candidates, asking them to voluntarily post the same information she is asking of the current candidates vying for a position on her ballot.

        Ms Meroni requests other patriots across the country to contact candidates on their ballots and ask them to post proof of citizenship on their websites under the banner of Proud To Be An American. More information can be found at http://patriotsheart.us/, more specifically on the Townsquare Forum.

        Besides the obvious importance of having a Constitutional ballot, this challenge is important because it is before the same State Board of Elections that Mr. Obama was certified for ballot placement for State Senator, U.S. Senator, and President. The State posts no evidence of compliance with Constitutional requirements, and there is no way for citizens to check the Constitutional veracity of any candidate on the ballot except through this challenge process.

        Patriot’s Heart Network needs funds to help support Ms Meroni as she goes through this process. Please donate today or http://www.patriotsheart.us/ and make a donation to support this important challenge.

        More information and links to all documents related to the case are kept here.
