Not exactly a newbie caucus but a caucus for the members that have tea party agenda leanings. I would think the tea party would be considered new.

I was just thinking reading todays news about campaign funds each candidate has gotten. If they are going to have campaign reform it should not matter how much each candidate has raised. But. The candidate who raises a lot of cash swamps t v and print media with a lot of ads which influences a lot of people.

My thought is each candidate should have equal time on t v and print ads.

Money buys votes

Something does not smell right in D C. In the past week there have been quite a few stories on the dems losing it. President Obama suddenly having stories written about sudden drops in the polls for this and that. The house and possibly the senate races that are going to be lost in the fall. The house and the white house kickin the ball back and forth on losing. Plus many other articles.

Been dominating the news lately. I wonder if this is all planned strategy on their part? Mid term elections generaly have a slow voter turnout. Could this be part of the plan to rouse the democratic and liberal voters for turnout?

I see talk if the republicans win the house it will be a blame game on them on policy failures.

Just seen an article where the white house and staff members are going to be out stumpin for their candidates. That may help them lose. LOL

Something aint right. Take another week or so to see how the news changes on the subject. I think they have something planned here.

Need to get and read that book on "Rules For Radicals". The strategy could be in there.

From reading the news as to what is happening in the white house recently I am getting indicators. What I see is former Pres Clinton hanging out in the white house. Looks to me like he may be giving Pres Obama some tuteledge.

I see today that a former Clinton person is taking a position in the white house.

H.R.5002 -- No Sanctuary for Illegals Act

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.5002:

 _________________________________________________________

This looks like a very interesting part of the bill to ponder.

SEC. 8. PROHIBITION ON DISTRIBUTION OF FEDERAL FUNDS.

(a) In General- No officer or employee of the Federal Government may provide Federal funds to any State, or political subdivision of a State, that is determined by the Secretary to be interfering with efforts to enforce Federal immigration laws.

(b) Termination of Funding Prohibition- Subsection (a) shall cease to be effective with respect to a State or political subdivision denied funds under such subsection when the Secretary certifies that the State or political subdivision has entered into an agreement with the Secretary to cease such interference.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.1868.IH:
Looks like a law to clarify the citizenship of children born in the United States. The bill spells it out when you go to site and read it. Only one page too.

Has something like 96 sponsors. Need to move this bill along and get this issue settled.

Looks like it is still in committee. HMMMMMMM

Took me and "I" sometime to find it but here it is. Finaly figured out key words for search to find it. Had to have "I" figure it out. You all know who "I" is.

Looks like this may be the answer on how a bill becomes law without the presidents signature.

http://www.nvfc.org/page/1081/How_a_Bill_Becomes_a_Law.htm

Presidential Action
"2.Allow the bill to become law without his signature. If the President does not sign the bill or veto it within ten days, the bill becomes law without his signature. "

The same thing is happening today. Read about the revenue act of 1935 and about employers and investors were under attack. also putting their money at risk.

The news article was talking about a lame duck session and I seen this about state voter registration laws. Looks like a takeover of state rights to me. If you think defunding a program will stall it think again about that with legislation they want to cram thru before Janurary.

"Other lame-duck possibilities? Senate ratification of the New Start nuclear treaty, a federally mandated universal voter registration system to override state laws, and a budget resolution to lock in increased agency spending"

I looked up my thoughts in regard to recess appointments here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recess_appointment

I was thinking today on what constitutes a recess in the senate. My thinking is that during a session of congress they have vacation recesses which are intrasession recesses (during a recess within a session). Then I was thinking They have a recess from the current session until the next session starts which is an  intersession recess (between sessions or Congresses).

Then my thoughts went to why was this in the constitution. I was thinking that the senate did not have the work load during those early years and took longer intersession recess. I found that to be correct on my thinking.
" intersession recesses during the early days of the country lasted between six and nine months,"

Then my thoughts went to with the senate having a full schedule pretty much all 12 months of the year why is it necessary for any president to make recess appointments. I do not think recesses last much longer than 30 days now.

My conclusion is the supreme court should make a decision on this as recess appointments are being abused by presidents. Recesses are not as long now as to when the constitution was written.

For the senate to block a president from making recess appointments they hold pro forma sessions. Of course the dems are in the white house and Reid (D) heads the senate so you are not going to see pro forma sessions.

Now if the republicans take control of the senate for the 2011 session they could hold pro forma sessions to block recess appointments.

She explains how the Obama campaign controlled the spin and "worked" the Mainstream Media. Whoever controls the media controls the masses and the spin like true totalitarians.

Now read the article by Mr Sowell which I posted in an earlier entry if you have not already read it.

  I was reading the document and I did not know under article 11 canada could be a part of the U S if they chose to join.

another news article on that.

There just might be more Tea Party groups than whats reported on. Quite possibly a large network that keeps in touch with each other.

Citizens concerned for the future of this nation. The last I knew Gov't was for the people and by the people.

I think the opposition gets their panties in a bunch because of the loosely knit organization of the Tea Party.
Liberal attack policy is to identify and attack leaders of a group and the main political party involved.
Look at what they do to the Republican party. Attack its leaders and their policy.

Should this special election have been held in 2009 rather than what the current ruling calls for? Senator Obamas seat was vacated in 2008. Something smells in skunk city.
