Republican Party Newsletter - Leavenworth County, November 2011

On behalf of the Leavenworth County Republican Party Central Committee, I want to extend our wishes for a very Merry Christmas and blessings throughout the New Year. We are grateful for the level of political involvement that our county Republicans have demonstrated this year. We've had outstanding attendance at our Town Hall meetings, excellent letters written by our members to state and local officials and to the newspapers, and great representation at the State Republican Party conventions. Leavenworth voters are known throughout the state as some of the most well informed and involved citizens in the state. Your support of the Republican Party is deeply appreciated and applauded.

Please have a safe holiday, enjoy your families and friends, and think of our military members who are overseas defending our freedoms, and keep Christ in the center of your celebrations.

Penn State v. State of Kansas

I've watched over the past couple of weeks as the controversy engulfing Penn State has consumed much of the media's attention. To recap:

A Penn State coach, Jerry Sandusky, was caught by a university employee in the act of raping a child.
This incident was reported to university officials who had the power and obligation to report that rape to authorities, but didn't.
Those same officials were apparently aware that this wasn't the first such incident and yet repeatedly looked the other way, valuing the millions of dollars generated by the football program over the well-being of the young victims of the coach's crimes.
When finally the media exposed this outrage, the public demanded action. University regents and elected officials quickly stepped forward to demand swift justice not only for the coach, but for those who were aware of his behavior and did nothing.
The perpetrator was arrested by authorities and the heads of those responsible for the ongoing cover-up (and that's what it was) have begun to roll.

Now, let's contrast that sickening situation with what has been going on in Kansas FOR YEARS.

Multiple adult men have been caught raping underage girls (by virtue of the fact that they were taking those girls to Kansas abortion clinics to have the babies aborted).
Those with the power and legal duty to report those rapes to the authorities (the so-called "health care providers") did nothing to alert the authorities that child rapes had been committed.
Those same officials were aware that this was an ongoing and widespread problem and yet valued the millions of dollars generated by performing abortions over the well-being of the underage girls being victimized by adult men.

Unfortunately, this is where this parallel ends because, in the Penn State situation, there was a press willing to blow the story wide open. And when they did and the public finally became aware of the coach's crimes, outraged voters and patrons demanded action so that now, Pennsylvania political and legal authorities are moving quickly to bring those responsible to justice.

But Kansas' abortion mill operators - who had a direct financial stake in performing abortions on these young crime victims - have spent decades insulating themselves from scrutiny, let alone accountability or prosecution. By lavishing hundreds of thousands of the dollars they collected performing abortions (many on underage crime victims) on local prosecutors, legislators, even Governors and past Attorneys General, Kansas abortionists protected their racket from official scrutiny. With plenty of blood money to spread around, they were happy, their bought-and-paid-for political cronies were happy and the public was intentionally kept in the dark that adult men were getting away with raping innocent young girls.

But I believe Kansas voters have vaguely sensed that things were amiss. Over the past two decades, more and more pro-life lawmakers have been elected to office and slowly, painstakingly, more restrictive abortion laws have been passed. But in spite of the fact that the legal net should have been tightening around Kansas' corrupt abortion industry, the abortionists managed to keep the blood money flowing by buying off key elected officials, both Republican and Democrat, who simply refused to enforce the law.

Enter Phill Kline.

Finally, AT LAST, a law enforcement official with the power and WILL to investigate and prosecute these crimes was elected. And we have seen the result. From the day he was sworn in as Attorney General, a coordinated jihad was launched against Phill Kline. It was largely funded by the abortion industry, given voice and whipped up by the left-leaning news media, and lent political muscle by those occupying powerful positions in the executive and judicial branches of Kansas government. Those who had been directly or indirectly bought-and-paid-for by the abortion industry did everything possible (including, we're now finding out, destroying evidence in criminal prosecutions, attempting to plant spies in his office, and using official or semi-official agencies to attack him personally and professionally) to thwart his ability to prosecute adult men who had raped underage girls and hold accountable those covering up their crimes.

Sadly, in Kansas, the corruption had seeped so deeply into our political system that the abortionists were able, again with the help of a sympathetic media, to drive Phill from office after just one term. Not satisfied with that, however, they continue to persecute - and there is no better word to describe what they continue to do - and harass Phill, using every weapon they can get their hands on.

Now imagine if what we've seen play out in Kansas was playing out right now in Pennsylvania. Imagine if those who operated Penn State's highly lucrative football program, fully aware of Coach Sandusky's crimes, had spent hundreds of thousands of football program dollars to buy the silence and protection of regents, prosecutors and elected officials. What if local prosecutors, university officials, elected leaders and members of the press were so "in the tank" for Penn State football that they simply refused to act to protect the victims of Coach Sandusky's crimes? What if the press acted disinterested in this story and treated those who were trying to draw attention to these crimes as some kind of annoying, religiously-motivated nut-jobs?

The truth is that the public and press are rightfully outraged that underage boys were being raped by a coach at a major university. They are completely justified in demanding not only that Coach Sandusky be aggressively prosecuted but that those who were aware of his crimes and did nothing also be held accountable for covering them up. I am encouraged that university leaders and Pennsylvania's political and legal authorities are moving quickly and aggressively to deal with these crimes and the corruption that apparently overtook the Penn State football program.

But where is the outrage over the hundreds (perhaps thousands?) of unreported and unprosecuted rapes of underage girls who show up pregnant at Kansas abortion mills? Where are the calls for those who have covered up those crimes to be held accountable and, where possible, prosecuted? Where is the public outcry for a top-to-bottom investigation of Kansas' abortion industry and its corrupting influence within this state's political and judicial system? Where is the press??? Surely they don't want us to conclude that they only care when it's underage boys who are being raped. Where are our political leaders and why aren't they stepping to the mic to demand action and defend the one man who dared to shine a light on these crimes and the corrupt system that had covered them up for so long?

The rape and sexual assault of dozens of young boys by a Penn State football coach is absolutely worthy of our outrage. But if we stand silent and refuse to follow through to make sure that the investigations begun by Phill Kline are followed through to their complete conclusion - regardless of where those investigations may take us - then we are guilty of the worst kind of hypocrisy and risk telegraphing to young girls that they are somehow less valuable and less worthy of our protection.

Thanksgiving 2022

Yet it wasn't the game that Winston was uninterested in. It was more the thought of eating another Tofu Turkey. Even though it was the best type of Veggie-Meat available after the government revised the American Anti-Obesity Act of 2018, adding fowl to the list of federally-forbidden foods, (which already included potatoes, cranberry sauce, and mincemeat pie), it wasn't anything like real turkey.

And ever since the government officially changed the name of "Thanksgiving Day" to "A National Day of Atonement" in 2020, to officially acknowledge the Pilgrims' historically brutal treatment of Native Americans, the holiday had lost a lot of its luster.

Eating in the dining room was also a bit daunting. The unearthly gleam of government-mandated fluorescent light bulbs made the Tofu Turkey look even weirder than it actually was, and the room was always cold. Ever since Congress passed the Power Conservation Act of 2016, mandating all thermostats - which were monitored and controlled by the electric company - be kept at 68 degrees, every room on the north side of the house was barely tolerable throughout the entire winter.

Still, it was good getting together with family, or at least most of the family. Winston missed his mother, who passed on in October, when she had used up her legal allotment of life-saving medical treatment. He had had many heated conversations with the Regional Health Consortium, spawned when the private insurance market finally went bankrupt, and everyone was forced into the government health care program. And though he demanded she be kept on her treatment, it was a futile effort. "The RHC's resources are limited", explained the government bureaucrat Winston spoke with on the phone. "Your mother received all the benefits to which she was entitled -- I'm sorry for your loss."

ED could not make it either. He had forgotten to plug in his electric car last night, the only kind available after the Anti-Fossil Fuel Bill of 2021 outlawed the use of the combustion engines - for everyone but government officials. The fifty mile round trip was about ten miles too far, and Ed didn't want to spend a frosty night on the road somewhere between here and there. Thankfully, Winston's brother, John, and his wife were flying in.

Winston made sure that the dining room chairs had extra cushions for the occasion. No one complained more than John about the pain of sitting down so soon after the government-mandated cavity searches at airports, which severely aggravated his hemorrhoids. Ever since a terrorist successfully smuggled a cavity bomb onto a jetliner, the TSA told Americans the added inconvenience" was an "absolute necessity" in order to stay "one step ahead of the terrorists." Winston's own body had grown   accustomed to such probing ever since the government expanded their scope to just about anywhere a crowd gathered, via Anti-Profiling Act of 2022. That law made it a crime to single out any group or individual for "unequal scrutiny," even when probable cause was involved.

Thus, cavity searches at malls, train stations, bus depots, etc., etc., had become almost routine. Almost, the Supreme Court is reviewing the statute, but most Americans expect a Court composed of six progressives and three conservatives to leave the law intact.

"A living Constitution is extremely flexible", said the Court's eldest member, Elena Kagan.   "Europe has had laws like this one for years - We should learn from their example", she added.

Winston's thoughts turned to his own children. He got   along fairly well with his 12-year-old daughter, Brittany, mostly because she ignored him. Winston had long ago surrendered to the idea that she could text anyone at any time, even during Atonement Dinner. Their only real confrontation had occurred when he limited her to 50,000 texts a month, explaining that was all he could afford. She whined for a week, but got over it.

His 16-year-old son, Jason, was another matter altogether. Perhaps it was the constant bombarding he got in public school that global warming, the bird flu,   terrorism, or any of a number of other calamities was "just around the corner", but Jason had developed a kind of nihilistic attitude that ranged between simmering surliness and outright hostility. It didn't help that Jason had reported his father to the police for smoking a cigarette in the house, an act made criminal by the Smoking Control Statute of 2018, which outlawed smoking anywhere within 500 feet of another human being.

Winston paid the $5,000 fine, which might have been considered excessive before the American dollar became virtually worthless as a result of QE13.

The latest round of quantitative easing the federal government initiated was, once again, to "spur economic growth."

This time, they promised to push unemployment below its years-long rate of 18%, but Winston was not particularly hopeful. Yet the family had a lot for which to be thankful, Winston thought, before remembering it was a Day of Atonement. At least, he had his memories.   He felt a twinge of sadness when he realized his children would never know what life was like in the 'good old days', long before government promises to make life "fair for everyone" realized their full potential.

Winston, like so many of his fellow Americans, never realized how much things could change when they didn't happen all at once, but little by little, so people could get used to them. He wondered what might have happened if the public had stood up while there was still time, maybe back around 2011, when   all the real nonsense began.

"Maybe we wouldn't be where we are today if we'd just said 'enough is enough' when we had the chance," he thought. Maybe so, Winston. Maybe so.

Progressives' NPV Plan for White House Control, 2012 & Permanently

National Popular Vote Manifesto, 2004

By Jacquerie

While the lame stream media holds public attention on GOP candidate rivalries, a "progressive" strategy is underway to eliminate the role of the states in electing a U.S. President. By transferring electoral votes to a "national popular vote" this "Compact" would usurp the role of the states as safeguarded by our Constitution. In doing so, it could also neutralize Obama's critics - totally.

This may be the most vital - and time sensitive - expose WAM has ever uncovered and shared! And it's happening now, under the radar, with the general public in the dark. This "ultimate vote fraud" is intentionally complicated to keep it obscure until it's too late to stop it.

This complete expose on the "National Popular Vote Compact" won't be found elsewhere. Because of the complexity and urgency of this issue, read it through completely. See who is behind this scheme and what its intended consequences are.

Then spread the word in your blogs, forums and forward to all your contacts now. There is still time to block the NPVC sufficient states passage - only if we act now!

All of US urgently need to contact our State Representatives, State Senators and Governors to vehemently oppose this covert measure! See below the real facts of this manipulation of the Constitution and American electorate. See Your State Status and action needed in last column.

Plan for 2012 (& Permanent) White House control by progressives happening now

Called the "National Popular Vote Compact" this movement has been in the works nationwide - without public attention - on a state-by-state level since at least 2008.

Like other surreptitious actions against the U.S. Constitution, the NPVC "movement" has several promotional websites claiming to represent "true democracy."

The NPVC is a bill now moving state-by-state to make the popular vote winner President by bypassing normal requirements to amend the Constitution. Its outcome would ensure the Presidency would be declared by giving all the required 270 Electoral Votes needed for a "winner" to the candidate who wins the largest number of popular votes nationally - no matter how small the win margin and no difference how many states voted to oppose him. Here's how it works:

Once enough states have passed the NPVC bill into law to reach the requisite 270 Electoral Votes (by totaling the EV's of those states which pass this bill) the NPVC goes into immediate effect in the next - and all subsequent - Presidential elections. It doesn't matter how strongly other states oppose this. We'd all have to go along, even if a minority of states pass it!
* Currently, this bill has passed enough state houses to reach more than 160 EV's - so they are well over half way to their goal right now.
According to most up-to-date information this National Popular Vote Pact has already passed 1 of the 2 required chambers in more than 30 other states- without public attention.
If their magic number of 270 EV totaling states is reached, it won't matter how the rest of the states vote on this; or whether other states never take up the bill; not even if other states vehemently object and oppose this action. It would be the Law of the Land!

This sneaky scheme to upend Constitutional rights and protections of all states and their residents in selecting the nation's leader is underway as an explicit attempt to defeat the careful Constitutional amendment process with no public knowledge, no voter input, no public referendums and no input from states which object to this measure. All NPVC takes is a portion of current state houses to make it law for all of us - always!

Why would progressives want to switch to a National Popular Vote POTUS?

Do the math: The electoral vote system protects voting rights by giving every individual state a number of electoral votes representing the level of population. In this way, all states in the Union have a proportionate and representative say in who becomes President. It doesn't matter if the state has more land mass than populace, or if more of the people live in rural areas, etc. Here is what would happen with an NPVC that hands all the needed 270 Electoral Votes to the national popular vote winner: Those states with larger populations - especially those with heavily populated big cities will pick the President. The politically savvy know that big city voters trend "Democratic" - and that controlling big city vote results (by buying votes, duplicating votes, "fixing" vote count machines on a large scale basis - these are all "Democratic" party specialties!

Take Illinois as a case in point. No matter the notorious corruption in politics there. Year after year, all the suburban and rural vote populations together can't get their voices heard to change who runs the state. Why not? Because the votes of the city of Chicago always outnumber the total combined votes in the entire rest of the state. Is that what we want to happen to the White House?

The state houses of Illinois, California, New York and New Jersey - with their large combined Electoral Votes - are among those that have already passed the NPVC into law. A list of states which have passed this treacherous law is given below. Do you think the voters in those states (of which you may be one) have an idea this has happened? Of course not - as with all Progressive take-over tactics, this one is being arranged as quietly and quickly as possible, before the actual voters there even find out!

So, if you've wondered why Obama isn't more worried about his "re-election" - despite growing public dissatisfaction - now you know. Just pass the NPVC in a handful more states. Then, put the usual paid workers out in the precincts with lies and pockets full of bribes for votes; send out more union propaganda enflaming and threatening union members into support; continue using state paid staff to bring in the votes of the infirm and institutionalized; doctor up more absentee vote records; alter the vote totals of machines in key areas. And voila - Obama gets even the tiniest combined margin of the "popular" vote (by hook or crook) - and he stays in office!

If this NPVC vote scam gets enough states to go along, the rest of US are doomed to non-elect but appoint Obama again - by the magic 270 with claims that it's all very constitutional! Akin to ObamaCare, if this National Popular Vote Compact is passed - no matter how wrong and corrupt - it would take massive funding and endless delays to drag through the courts in hopes of any reversal.

An NPVC success in its remaining targeted states would mean: states that have been trending GOP and don't support NPVC won't matter; states with large land expanses sprinkled with Conservative voters and rural farmers won't matter; suburbanites who pay the taxes that support city entitlements won't matter; the original fair and balanced Electoral College system won't matter. After all, they tell US: this is just one of those parts of that old Constitution that's not really fair and needs to be updated!

Here is a summary of why the National Popular Vote Presidency is a really bad idea.

Who is behind the National Popular Vote Compact?
George Soros - and that's not all

If you have any doubt left about the purpose of this Constitutional reversal in favor of a Presidency by national popular vote, consider these facts and check out these references:

Summary: George Soros favorite game is taking over the politics (and governments) of countries. If you're not familiar with his bio, you should be. See here his role in the bogus movement toward a popular vote. Soros son, Jonathan, propagandized "It's time to junk the Electoral College" all the way back in 2008. We know by now how their ilk uses long-term, heavily financed astro-turf "reform" movements - under cover of nice-sounding names, multiple websites and distorted messages to increase their public appeal. Here's what the National Popular Vote movement wants you to believe. Their operatives began moving this Plan through state assemblies even before 2008 election. See an actual chart of the scope of Soros spider web of behind-the-scenes influence here.

What's their game: Take the 2012 election - and those that follow - by the cheapest, most expedient means. Save time and money by focusing "electioneering efforts" (including illegitimate ones) in major population areas to make those vote totals overwhelm the votes of the rest of US. This makes it easy for Obama to continue ignoring increased public resistance - if half the states and nearly half the voters just won't count anymore anyway. Most of US are by now familiar with the bombardment of attempts to subvert our government under cover of populist propaganda to appear "more truly democratic." See below those behind this clever manipulation of the law - to pass a "newer and better" way to choose a President without the proper Constitutional amendment.(And somebody tell them our founding fathers formed a Republic, not a democracy!)

Meet the Men behind this "Compact": Vikram Amar & Akhil Reed Amar

The National Public Vote Compact bill, promoted nationwide, came from this source in 2001. Since then, the same bill based on their strategy has been filed in states nationwide!

Digging into the background of the National Public Vote Compact - as a means to radically and permanently shift the basis of the Presidency, here's what we found: highly credentialed attorneys (and brothers) who devised this "state bill" compact, as a strategy to get around the normal requirements for constitutional amendment - and, instead, undermine the Electoral College by bypassing both Congress and the voters! V. Amar is the author of hundreds of legal articles and several books. Although his age is included in a wiki-bio, Vikram's country of origin is not mentioned. His articles cover topics like this:"Should Christian groups on state campuses by allowed to restrict their membership to Christians." Many articles are aimed at using the legal system against the Constitution. Here's two books he's written: "Processes of Constitutional Decision making" and The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction

Akhil Amar has also "recently proposed that every American should be required to undergo a DNA test so that a national DNA database can be created." Together this pair has made many other monstrous "legalese" proposals including how an "Instant Run Off System" could "remedy the flaws" in America's voting system; term-limiting Supreme Court Justices and improving the Presidential line of succession in the event of "election terrorism." By no strange coincidence, the brain stormer of this end-run to trick the public and the Constitution by a minority of favorable state lawmakers, Vikram, also keeps busy writing frequent legal articles in defense of the constitutionality of ObamaCare! Need we wonder who is financing this scribe?

Vital & Urgent: See your state status & contact state officials!

Conclusion: WAM has done the math and citizen action is urgent to stop this Compact! States where it has already passed add up to 171 Electoral Votes of the 270 required. 81 more Electoral Votes are at stake in states where NPV has passed 1 of the 2 needed chambers. Additionally, States where NPV is listed as currently active legislation hold more than 100 EV. There are under 100 total (electoral vote bearing states) more for this to be our law nationally - and there are way more than enough states with this in process to meet that end goal before 2012 Election!!!

Shockingly, numerous Republican state officials have fallen for the popular vote strategy. Enough GOP have supported it, for NPV.com to brag this is a "bi-partisan" measure (along with bogus polls claiming how We the People want this!) Banners of progressive newspaper editorial endorsements are topped (of course) by the New York Times. Some GOP have co-sponsored this in their state. More have even voted for its passage! Whether these are ill-informed, popularity-seeking, bribed or just too dumb to do the math we can't say. What we know is this probably means no more Republican presidents ever - and Obama back in 2012, if only by the tiniest of margins!

Evidently, it's going to take all of US to contact our own state assemblyman, state senator and governor to inform them of how destructive (and "progressive") this national vote compact really is.

Election Humor (Reality)

An Anonymous Observation

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Why the Roman Empire Fell

"The Roman Republic fell, not because of the ambition of Caesar or Augustus, but because it had already long ceased to be in any real sense a republic at all. When the sturdy Roman plebeian, who lived by his own labor, who voted without reward according to his own convictions, and who with his fellows formed in war the terrible Roman legion, had been changed into an idle creature who craved nothing in life save the gratification of a thirst for vapid excitement, who was fed by the state, and who directly or indirectly sold his vote to the highest bidder, then the end of the republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing."
