New York's New Senator |
January 30, 2009 |
Digg This |
WILL GILLIBRAND CHANGE HER STANDS?
On the whole, New York Governor David Paterson’s appointment
of two-term Democrat Congressman Kirsten E. Gillibrand to
succeed Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate is a plus for
conservatives.
Mrs. Gillibrand was a co-sponsor of Virgil Goode’s House
Concurrent Resolution 40, opposing the North American Union (NAU),
the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), and the NAFTA
Superhighway.
She has supported Balance Budget Amendments (which TCC
opposes), opposed amnesty for illegal immigrants, and
voted against withholding funds to prosecute the war in Iraq.
She received much criticism for her vote in opposition to the
Wall Street bailout.
On the negative side, she is pro-abortion and a supporter of
the U.N.
At one point, she was an intern for New York U.S. GOP Senator
Alfonse D’Amato.
Although she earned a 100% approval rating from the National
Rifle Association, she is now quoted in The New York Times
as saying that, on issues such as gun control on which she
differs from fellow Democrats, there was "enormous space for
common ground".
She acknowledged that "there is a lot of concern in our city
communities about gun violence". And she said that, while she
represents all of New York, "my advocacy will be broader".
Another item on the plus side is that she has been a
supporter of "English Language Only" proposals.
At one point, she was Special Counsel to Andrew M. Cuomo when
he was Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Cuomo was a
runner-up in consideration for the Clinton seat.
VITTER AND DEMINT MERIT OUR APPRECIATION
Hillary Rodham Clinton was confirmed on a 94-2 vote in
the U.S. Senate to be Secretary of State.
Congratulations to Senator David Vitter of Louisiana and Jim
DeMint of South Carolina who cast the only votes against
confirmation.

STATEMENT OF CHARLES ORNDORFF OF THE CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS,
INC. TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION, CIVIL RIGHTS,
AND CIVIL LIBERTIES OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY
REGARDING HR 157
January 27, 2009
Congressional Representation for The
District of Columbia Is Unconstitutional
The United States Constitution is entirely plain and direct
in declaring that states are the political units to be
represented in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Article I, Section 2 states that "The House of
Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second
Year by the People of the several States . . . ." It also says
that "No person shall be a Representative who shall not . . . be
an Inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen" and
that "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned
among the several states which may be included within this union
. . . ." The same section guarantees that ". . . each State
shall have at least one Representative . . ." and provides that
"When vacancies happen in the representation from any State, the
Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to
fill such Vacancies."
Article I, Section 4 also recognizes only states when it says
that "The Times, Places, and Manner of holding Elections for
Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State
by the Legislature . . . ."
The Fourteenth Amendment continues in this vein, establishing
that "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several
States according to their respective numbers . . . ."
The District of Columbia is not a state, and cannot be
granted representation as if it were a state by any authority in
the Constitution. Congress recognized this in regard to the
electoral college when it used a constitutional amendment (the
Twenty-third) to grant the District electoral votes equal to
those of the smallest state.
HR 157 must, on constitutional grounds, be rejected. The
actual merits of representation for the District may be debated
if a constitutional amendment is offered, but the
unconstitutionality of this bill requires a negative vote by
those who have sworn "to support this Constitution" (Article VI,
paragraph 3).

More Blue Helmets on U.S. Troops |
January 23, 2009 |

WILL OBAMA PUT MORE U.S. TROOPS UNDER U.N.
COMMAND?
"The Obama-Biden Transition Project has been secretly meeting
with special interest groups demanding that more U.S. military
personnel be assigned to ‘Blue Helmet’ or U.N.-controlled
military operations. But the Obama operation has not disclosed
any information about the nature of the meetings. The only
reason we know anything about them is because one of the special
interest groups has boasted about its involvement in them on its
website.
"The group, Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS), the new name
of the old pro-world government World Federalist Association,
reveals … that in meetings held on December 6, 2008, with Eric
Schwartz, identified as being in charge of the Obama-Biden US/UN
Transition Team, a group called the ‘Partnership for Effective
Peacekeeping’ (PEP) … asked that the U.S. increase its
participation in U.N. military activities ‘by putting more blue
helmets on US troops.’ …
"Schwartz, executive director of the George Soros-funded US
Connect Fund, worked under Clinton’s disgraced National Security
Adviser, Sandy Berger, and brags that he ‘initiated and managed
the White House review that resulted in U.S. signature of the
Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court,’ … an entity
that could prosecute American soldiers and citizens for ‘war
crimes.’ …"
WORLD FEDERALISTS SEEK U.S. RATIFICATION OF
ICC TREATY
"Another organization participating in the Obama-Biden
meetings was the Washington Working Group on the International
Criminal Court (WICC) … which wants Senate ratification of the
International Criminal Court (ICC) treaty.
"Both the PEP and the WICC are largely creations of the
World Federalist Association (WFA), which supports world
government financed by global taxes, as well as a U.N. world
army. The WFA became the Citizens for Global Solutions as
part of an extreme ‘New World Order’ makeover designed to make
the organization’s world government solutions palatable to more
people. …"
UNLOST FAVORED BY BOTH BUSH AND OBAMA
"While top officers of CGS, including Don Kraus … were
meeting with Schwartz, CGS was represented on Schwartz’s side
of the table by Heather B. Hamilton … an assistant to
Schwartz who serves as Senior Policy Advocate for the US Connect
Fund and ‘most recently served as Executive Vice President of
Citizens for Global Solutions.’ …
"What’s more, Hamilton says that she developed, launched
and led a non-governmental organization (NGO) coalition in
support of the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty, which is a top
priority of the Obama Administration.
"Hamilton boasts that she ‘Launched and managed [the]
successful campaign to defeat the nomination of John Bolton as
U.S. Ambassador to the UN’ … and ‘Led [the] coalition effort
that achieved the U.S. signature of the ICC treaty…’ (Bolton
later received a recess appointment as U.S. Ambassador to the
U.N.) …"
A COMPREHENSIVE NEW WORLD ORDER AGENDA
"In addition to demanding ‘More Blue Helmets on U.S. Troops,’
the Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS) website blog discloses
that the Partnership for Effective Peacekeeping, during a
meeting with Schwartz, made several other requests. It urged
Obama to: • Pay $1.6 billion to the U.N. for U.S. ‘arrears’
to the U.N. • Lift the cap on payments to the U.N. for U.N.
military operations. • Ensure ‘adequate resources’ for and
increase U.S. participation in U.N. military activities. •
Restrict the use of the U.S. veto at the U.N. so U.N.
involvement in international conflicts and situations can be
increased. • Support expansion of U.N. departments and offices,
including the U.N. Department of Political Affairs." Source:

CONSTANTIN DUMITRESCU
During one of several visits to Romania, it was my privilege
to meet Constantin Ticu Dumitrescu, a Romanian dissident who
spent many years in prison during the Communist era, and later
led the fight to open the files of the Securitate, the feared
secret police. Dumitrescu died recently in Bucharest at the age
of 80.
Dumitrescu was a very impressive man who begged me to do all
I could to see to it that the U.S. government would not again
"sell" him or his countrymen into Communist slavery. "I spent
twenty years in prison," he said, "because Harry Truman and your
government sold me."

SELECTION OF BRET BAIER IS GOOD NEWS
As Chairman of the Coalition to Block the North
American Union (NAU), I was in Montebello, Canada during the
Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) meeting of U.S.
President George Bush, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, and
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
One journalist who treated me very fairly and gave national
coverage to our concerns about the North American Union was Bret
Baier.
I am delighted that he has received an important promotion at
the Fox TV news channel.

Liberals Now Understand |
January 15, 2009 |

LIBERAL VOTERS ALARMED BY ILLEGAL ALIEN
MURDERS
Montgomery County, Maryland, which has a reputation for being
one of the nation’s most liberal, has taken a turn to the right
on illegal immigrants, with the news that the Montgomery County
police are developing a proposal to have their officers check
the immigration status of suspects arrested for violent crimes
and weapons offenses.
Last November, Montgomery voters surprised political
observers by approving a tax limitation referendum. The county
has also changed its ordinances to encourage hunting.
At the very moment when some GOP leaders are claiming (with
little evidence) that the American people are turning Left, the
residents of this bastion of liberalism are clearly moving the
opposite direction.
THE
STRATEGY TO BRING OUR PRINCIPLES TO POWER
In my
remarks to the December meeting of the Constitution Party
National Committee, I began by reviewing current crises and
challenges:
-
the
likelihood of D.C. being unconstitutionally awarded a vote
in the U.S. House of Representatives,
-
the
possibility of statehood for Puerto Rico, (which can be
achieved by simple majority votes in the House and the
Senate),
-
the
likely ratification of the U.N. Law of the Sea Treaty (UNLOST),
-
the
exacerbation of problems of crime and disease resulting from
the continuing influx of illegal aliens,
-
the
prospect of socialized medicine being imposed incrementally,
-
the
collapse of the dollar,
-
the
return of the Fairness Doctrine,
-
the
enactment of “card check”, eliminating the secret ballot in
union elections,
-
the
ongoing push for a North American Union (NAU),
-
the
further homosexualization of the U.S. military,
-
the
prospect of hyperinflation, and
-
other
related issues.
I then
proceeded to discuss how to bring our policies to power,
observing that incrementalism does not work for Christian
Constitutional conservatives because we would be merely
incrementally toying with a left-wing template.
Instead of
embracing a strategy of pragmatism and that which seems to be
politically feasible in the near term, we ought to focus instead
on “what ought to be”.
In this
regard, we can learn some powerful lessons from the examples of
the Marxists and the Fabian Socialists.
Antonin
Gramsci said the way to capture America was not by means of
economic determinism, but rather through reliance on “a long
march” through the institutions, including education, the arts,
the church, the family, and, ultimately, the military.
Like the
Marxists and Fabian Socialists, we must also be bold and
farsighted.
Let’s not
forget how much of the Communist Manifesto has been implemented
in America. Marx’s goals included abolition of the family, free
education for all children in public schools, the graduated
income tax, abolition of all rights of inheritance,
centralization of credit in the hands of the state, a national
bank with state capital, and centralization of the means of
communication. His goal of combining education with industrial
productivity was manifested in the drive, fortunately
unsuccessful, for the “School to Work” program.
To put
America back on the right track, there are several goals we must
pursue:
-
elimination of the Federal Reserve,
-
elimination of all government education,
-
the
total exclusion of homosexuals from government services and
employment, especially in the military,
-
defunding the Left (lest we forget that George Bush’s
“faith-based funding” strategy was a gift to Barack Obama) –
the Number One priority for defunding the Left should be
elimination of the Federal Legal Services program,
-
rebuilding the U.S. military, with particular emphasis on
the U.S. Navy and our T and
-
reassertion of the Monroe Doctrine, with focus on Panama,
Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela.
I observed
that there are two ways to come to power: (1) building cadres
who uncompromisingly assert fidelity to Constitutional
principles and long-term objectives, or (2) capitalizing on
crisis.
I
emphasized that, in my view, America will, during the years
immediately ahead, face a major crisis.
This could
include (a) the detonation of nuclear weapons on our territory,
(b) a successful Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack, (c)
hyperinflation, or some similar catastrophe.
Should one
or more such catastrophes occur: (a) we must be prepared and
plan ahead for the creation of a new capitol to
replace Washington, D.C., (b) expansion of the U.S. House of
Representatives so that each member of the House will represent
far fewer than 700,000 constituents, (c) abolition of salaries
for elected legislators, (d) elimination of pensions for all
government employees, (e) abolition of direct taxation – – –
substituting tariffs, rather than taxes, to pay for the
legitimate Constitutional activities of the Federal government,
(f) prompt withdrawal from the United Nations, NAFTA, the World
Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World
Bank, and all other globalist entities, (g) repeal of the
Seventeenth Amendment, (h) termination of all government funding
of education, the arts, policy advocacy, political parties, and
political candidates, (i) a return to paper ballots in
elections, and (j) creation of a shadow government in which
we urgently identify and publicize those who are ready to serve
in responsible positions.
The members
of the shadow government should be chosen by the CPNC Executive
Committee, subject to ratification by the full membership of the
National Committee.

TCC LEADS THE FIGHT TO DEFUND THE LEFT
ACORN (the initials stand for Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now),
came into being in 1971 and benefited from the participation and
legal representation of Barack Obama. During the Nixon
Administration, Frank Carlucci, one of my predecessors as
Director of the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity, began
providing government subsidies to ACORN. When I became head of
the agency in 1973, I cut off the money. Sadly, following my
departure, the subsidies resumed, and they continued under every
President to the present day – from Nixon to Ford to Carter to
Reagan to Bush to Clinton to Bush.
It was my outrage at the unconstitutional assignment of
taxpayer dollars to Left-wing advocacy groups that contributed
significantly to my decision to found The Conservative Caucus in
1974. Defunding the Left continuef TCC’s top
priorities.
