    Democrat Power - North Carolina Governor Proposes Ignoring Constitution of the USA



    North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue (D)


    A Democrat Slave Master, proposed holding off on US elections.

    Article I Section II of the United States Constitution specifically states, “The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States.” But North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue (D) would rather we just skip over that section and suspend congressional elections for two years. Speaking at a Rotary Club event today, Perdue proposed holding off on elections for a while so lawmakers can focus on the economy — a suggestion that’s breathtaking just by virtue of how blatantly unconstitutional it is:
    Speaking to a Cary rotary club today, N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue suggested suspending Congressional elections for two years so that Congress can focus on economic recovery and not the next election.
    I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that,” Perdue said. “You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”
    The comment — which came during a discussion of the economy — perked more than a few ears. It’s unclear whether Perdue, a Democrat, is serious — but her tone was level and she asked others to support her on the idea.

    The nation’s cities are cutting personnel and infrastructure projects as the economic downturn continues to take its toll on city finances according to the National League of Cities' (NLC) 26th annual City Fiscal Conditions report.

    The report reveals that general city revenues are continuing to fall, with a projected -2.3% decrease by the end of 2011. This is the fifth straight year of declines in revenue with probable further declines in 2012.

    The revenue decline is mainly due to the suppressed property market that is negatively impacting property tax revenue. Property tax collections are expected to decline by -3.7% with further declines likely in 2012 and 2013.

    Income tax receipts are also experiencing a decrease of -1.6%. Sales tax receipts remained largely flat, but this is at last year's level which saw the worst decrease in sales tax revenue in 15 years.

    Cities are responding by cutting personnel (72%), delaying infrastructure projects (60%) and increasing service fees (41%). One in three (36%) cities report modifications to employee health care benefits.

    "The cuts in personnel and the delaying of infrastructure projects are prudent and responsible actions by local officials," said Donald J. Borut, Executive Director of NLC. He continued, "City officials are a making difficult decisions and are working hard to find innovative solutions to reenergize their communities. But without more resources and more cooperation, the outlook will continue to be challenging."

    National indicators in the property markets and consumer spending point to continued economic struggles at the local level. Cities will have a difficult time in raising additional revenue for the immediate future.

    "The biggest question for cities lies in the uncertainty about the health of the national economy, which is driven by a collection of city-regional economies," said Christopher Hoene, Director of the Center for Research and Innovation at NLC. He continued, "If regional housing markets, unemployment, and consumer confidence struggle, city revenues will continue to lag, city leaders will face more cuts, and those decisions will act as a drag on the national economy."

    Cities have also been forced to contend with significant decreases in state aid, adding to the pressures facing cities. Since 2009, cities report cuts in general aid (50%), shared revenues (49%), and reductions in reimbursements and other transfers (32%). As states make these cuts to balance their budgets, it puts greater budgetary pressure on local governments that must balance their budgets as well.

    Confronted with revenue shortfalls, budget cuts, and state aid cuts, 57% of city finance officers report that their cities are less able to meet financial needs in 2011 than in 2010.

    "Cities are squarely in the center of the economic downturn. We anticipated that property tax receipts would catch up with declining property values. That they are now falling, while consumer confidence and employment falter, make the budget-balancing decisions of cities more challenging than at any-time in decades," said Michael A. Pagano, Dean of the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He continued, “What we may be seeing in this report is evidence of a new normal.”

    Find out more about NLC’s City Fiscal Conditions report.

    The National League of Cities is the nation's oldest and largest organization devoted to strengthening and promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership and governance. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans.

    Through its Center for Research and Innovation, NLC develops, conducts and reports research on issues affecting cities and towns. The Center assists cities and their leaders to implement innovative practices by providing qualified information and technical assistance.

    NLC conducts the survey each year in partnership with the University of Illinois at Chicago's College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, a nationally recognized innovator in education, research, and engagement in support of the nation's cities and metropolitan areas. Michael A. Pagano, Dean of the College, has helped conduct the survey and author the report since 1991.

    Riots are the key to suspending elections...Any one for Marshall Law?

    Teamster head James Hoffa declared war with the Tea Party today while warming the stage for President Barack Obama in Detroit, Michigan. As a Labor Day special, he pledged the support of the Unions to Obama, promising that “one thing about working people is, we like a good fight,” and that they “are ready to march” against the Tea Party, which he feels has taken up a charge against workers. Calling the Detroit crowd into battle, he cried, “Let’s take these sons of *****es out and give America back!” It’s hard to imagine that was the lead-up Obama was expecting. Spirited and perhaps inciting, did he outdo himself?

    I'm really not surprised a Democrat would say this.. This is the way they think, they have ZERO respect for the U.S. Constitution, and that's why this country is in the mess that it's in today, because of politicians who think just like she does.

    Next we'll be hearing from Obama to suspend the 2012 presidential election until the economy improves, which will of course result in a lifetime appointment.

    Fact is, Democrats care more about being career politicians than they do about the state of the economy, that's the simple truth. Their #1 priority is to be re-elected.. These are people who will sell their souls to get re-elected, they'll do whatever it takes, even if it means stomping on the United States Constitution, Let our Founding Fathers roll in their graves, they don't care.

    Look at the destruction Democrats did when they controlled both houses of congress, Everything from adding more regulations on businesses, to covering up the fraud at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to driving up the national debt from $8.6 TRILLION in Jan 2007 to $14 TRILLION when they were booted out of office in Jan 2011. And this b*tch is suggesting we stall the election process denying the people the right to kick these crooks out of office?

    NOT going to happen.

    WE the people decide if they stay in office, NOT them, They work for US.

    Now will someone please tell this dumb b*tch from North Carolina the USA is a Democracy and not a Dictatorship?.. Thank you.


    Please vote Republican in 2012, America can not sustain another 4 years
    of Liberal policies that are fiscally and socially destroying the country.

    WASHINGTON, June 21, 2008. President Bush, citing his authority as Commander in Chief of the armed forces and his inherent constitutional power over foreign affairs, today ordered a postponement of the 2008 presidential election in order "to protect the American people in our war on terror."

    In a speech during a surprise visit to Baghdad, where he celebrated the summer solstice with the troops, Mr. Bush told the nation that the election will be "rescheduled as soon as a change in leadership does not create a security threat and not a second later. When the Iraqis stand up, we'll vote."

    "Elections are important," the President acknowledged. "I know that. I believe in elections. I'm President because of an election, sort of. But protecting the nation from another 9/11 is more important than holding an election precisely on time."

    The President noted that as Commander in Chief he had already approved telephone wiretapping without court warrant, incarcerated alleged "enemy combatants" indefinitely without trial and, in a February 2002 order, now rescinded, had authorized the armed forces to ignore the Geneva Conventions when "consistent with military necessity," so long as everyone was treated "humanely."

    "If I can do all that, I can defer an election," the President said. "Look, as between not voting on time and getting locked up without all those Geneva rules and such, which is worse?"

    In a Washington press conference following the President's speech, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales laid out the legal basis for his department's conclusion that the President could postpone the election.

    "Legally, it's simple," Mr. Gonzales said. "It depends on what the meaning of 'four years' is. The Constitution says the President 'shall hold his office during the term of four years.' It does not say 'only four years' or 'four years and not a day more.' The Framers intended 'four years' to be a preference, not a rigid number. We should not take it literally any more than the words 'hold his office' means no woman can be President. A woman is running now.

    "Time meant something different in 1789," Mr. Gonzales added. "This was before airline schedules and self-winding watches. People didn't run their lives by the clock. Many Americans didn't have clocks."

    In a speech on the Senate floor, Joseph Lieberman (IND-Conn.) supported the President's decision. "While I do not believe we should lightly suspend the exercise of the franchise," he said, "protection of the nation cannot be and must not be a partisan issue. As Americans, we can all agree that security is the most important job of a President. We can have a country without an election, but we cannot have an election without a country. It's as simple as that."

    Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), the likely Democratic nominee, had no immediate comment, but her office said she will hold a news conference following the results of early polling. A spokesperson for her campaign, granted anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the press about anything, said the senator "is absolutely opposed to postponing the election as such, but she is amenable to rescheduling the day designated for the actual vote. There is a difference."

    Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said he was "troubled" that he had not been consulted on the President's decision. He vowed to "hold hearings following the day that should have been election day if I am chairman of the committee at that time. Unfortunately, we're backlogged on judicial nominations at the moment, and then there's the summer recess. People have plans and nonrefundable tickets."

    At his press conference, Mr. Gonzales denied that the Supreme Court's 2006 rejection of military tribunals meant that the President could not delay an election. That decision, known as Hamdan, rested on federal statutes and the Geneva Accords. "Hamdan was about trials, not voting," he explained. "Geneva doesn't apply to voting. It's a mistake to confuse the two."

    Asked if he expected a court challenge to the President's decision, Mr. Gonzales said he was "resigned to the prospect that some may cynically try to use this for their own political advantage." But he added that he was "confident that if the case reaches the Supreme Court, five Justices will agree with our interpretation of 'four years.'"

    his lady will not get what she wants, just like Bush didn't get what he wanted. No one takes these power tripping idiots seriously... But where were you guys when Bush, a Republican, was trying to do it? Where was the out-rage? Where was the out-rage when he disrespected and completely ignored our constitution, not once, not twice, not three times or four, but several times?

    It's okay.

    It is Phase I of our planned succession from the United States.

    There is a strong movement on the east coast towards succession, withdraw from the constitution of the United States, and reform as a Union of the original 13 colonies. In doing so, as strong supporters of the original constitution and what it represents (minus all the admendments), the new capital will actually be the old capital - the original capital called Philadelphia. Additionally, the state capitals shall also be those locales that were the once the capital of the colony at the time of the signing of the US Constitution. This will not affect many of the states in the northern colonies but will affect such states as Virginia (Williamsburg) and North Carolina (New Bern).

    There are still a great many details to work out. But the sense is the nation's buying power, fiscal strength, fortitude, institutions of higher learning, and GDP growth of the nation is based within the original 13 colonies. The fertile lands of Virginia and North Carolina will once again be the agri base for these colonies. As a measure of preserving the original intent of the formation of the colonies, all the original 13 colonies will encompass the original Land Grants from the British government.

    Years ago during the planning stage, the thoughts of call this The Tea Party movement were tossed around. Unfortunately, that moniker must now be abandoned as it is tainted with the politics of the US, not representative of the 13 colonies. Look for The Minutemen movement to hit the scene as the Minuteman are the original protectors of this nations original colonies and the original Constitution.

    This is about all I can say about the successionist's plans at the moment. Unfortunately, North Carolina Governor Bev Purdue came close to revealing these plans yesterday at a Rotarian dinner. No, she is not one of us and does not represent the movement but one has to think that she is aware of this effort as she is present day governor of one of the original 13 colonies.

    The 2 posts above go to what I've been saying for years, ZERO intellectual honesty from these two members.. zip!.

    You either acknowledge what your own Governor said was wrong or you try to find some justification in what she said, That's what intelligent debaters do, but were NOT dealing with intelligence here, were dealing with stupidity... Not only did they do neither, one goes far beyond by deflecting attention away from the issue by blaming Bush for something he did, sound familiar? Looks like Zurc is taking lessons from him mentor Doc.

    If this were Sarah Palin during the time she was Governor, we would see countless threads and posts about how psycho she is, what a nut job crazy b*tch she is.. But NOT here, because well, she's a Democrat and she's one of us, so were going to give her a free pass to say all the crazy sh*t she want's. And being the Governor of the home state of Doc Com AKA Sanctus Anus, that's just more reason to sweep what she said under the rug.


    Because of all the backlash of what Bev Purdue said, she's now trying to downplay it by saying it was all just a joke...

    http://www.wral.com/news/state/nccap...post/10191559/


    And today she embarrassed herself with this;

    At an event this morning announcing an SBA grant program promoting exports, the governor showed up late, stumbled through her speech, and referred several times to Raleigh Denim co-founder Victor Lytvinenko as "David." Victor's wife Sarah, standing behind Perdue at the podium, winced visibly as the governor repeated her mistake.


    Red State, a web site that Doc posted in another thread as credible, posted this yesterday;


    Governor Bev Perdue of North Carolina Wants to Cancel Elections

    Posted by Erick Erickson
    Tuesday, September 27th at 4:55PM EDT


    Would it be a violation of Godwin’s Law to point out that even the Nazis kept having elections even when we were bombing them? Heck, the United States continued having elections in the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. We didn’t put democracy on hold just because we felt like it. There is this thing called the constitution.

    But the constitution seems beside the point to one of America’s least popular governors, Bev Perdue of North Carolina. Maybe brains and constitutional fidelity go together.

    Perdue has declared that we should just suspend elections in 2012 for Congress until congressmen solve our economic problems. Given her lack of popularity and the fact that her unpopularity coupled with Obama’s unpopularity will probably swing North Carolina to the GOP in 2012, I’m sure she was privately thinking we might as well suspend all elections next year.

    After all, elections may matter, but they cost money.

    Already people are suggesting she just had to be joking. Except it doesn’t sound like she was joking and to come out now and say she was joking after giving a rather level toned speech in which she did not chuckle about it and, instead, asked people to join with her and support the idea sounds more like post-idiocy spin than truth.

    Bev Perdue, Governor of North Carolina, thinks that notwithstanding the Civil War, World War I, the Great Depression, or World War II, our country is in such a terrible place now that by God we don’t need no stinking elections because the people who cannot solve the problem right now will some how, miracle of miracles, solve the problem next year if only they don’t have to then be held accountable by their constituents — constituents who very likely will be purging Bev Perdue from politics next year.

    Exit point: I think we’ve just had our first Democratic Governor go on record admitting our present economic situation is worse than the Great Depression.

    Someone obviously didn't read this part. Do you actually read what others write or what you write for that matter? You continuously show such hypocrisy in every post you submit to this forum. You are deflecting away from the fact that your Lord and Savior, George W. Bush, did the same exact thing and you said NOTHING ABOUT IT. AND THAT WAS FOR THE PRESIDENCY!

    C'mon now, get it together...

    The better question is; Where were you?

    Looks like somebody was out to lunch when these very topics were heavily debated on this very forum.

    I joined the forum in mid 2007, he had been doing it since inauguration, so I didn't have a chance to join in on the conversations :/

    But I am sure it was pretty silent and if their was any ruckus, you were here supporting him

    The President noted that as Commander in Chief he had already approved telephone wiretapping without court warrant, incarcerated alleged "enemy combatants" indefinitely without trial and, in a February 2002 order, now rescinded, had authorized the armed forces to ignore the Geneva Conventions when "consistent with military necessity," so long as everyone was treated "humanely."

    "If I can do all that, I can defer an election," the President said. "Look, as between not voting on time and getting locked up without all those Geneva rules and such, which is worse?"

    In a Washington press conference following the President's speech, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales laid out the legal basis for his department's conclusion that the President could postpone the election.

    "Legally, it's simple," Mr. Gonzales said. "It depends on what the meaning of 'four years' is. The Constitution says the President 'shall hold his office during the term of four years.' It does not say 'only four years' or 'four years and not a day more.' The Framers intended 'four years' to be a preference, not a rigid number. We should not take it literally any more than the words 'hold his office' means no woman can be President. A woman is running now.

    "Time meant something different in 1789," Mr. Gonzales added. "This was before airline schedules and self-winding watches. People didn't run their lives by the clock. Many Americans didn't have clocks."

    In a speech on the Senate floor, Joseph Lieberman (IND-Conn.) supported the President's decision. "While I do not believe we should lightly suspend the exercise of the franchise," he said, "protection of the nation cannot be and must not be a partisan issue. As Americans, we can all agree that security is the most important job of a President. We can have a country without an election, but we cannot have an election without a country. It's as simple as that."

    Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), the likely Democratic nominee, had no immediate comment, but her office said she will hold a news conference following the results of early polling. A spokesperson for her campaign, granted anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the press about anything, said the senator "is absolutely opposed to postponing the election as such, but she is amenable to rescheduling the day designated for the actual vote. There is a difference."

    Senator Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said he was "troubled" that he had not been consulted on the President's decision. He vowed to "hold hearings following the day that should have been election day if I am chairman of the committee at that time. Unfortunately, we're backlogged on judicial nominations at the moment, and then there's the summer recess. People have plans and nonrefundable tickets."

    At his press conference, Mr. Gonzales denied that the Supreme Court's 2006 rejection of military tribunals meant that the President could not delay an election. That decision, known as Hamdan, rested on federal statutes and the Geneva Accords. "Hamdan was about trials, not voting," he explained. "Geneva doesn't apply to voting. It's a mistake to confuse the two."

    Asked if he expected a court challenge to the President's decision, Mr. Gonzales said he was "resigned to the prospect that some may cynically try to use this for their own political advantage." But he added that he was "confident that if the case reaches the Supreme Court, five Justices will agree with our interpretation of 'four years.'"

    his lady will not get what she wants, just like Bush didn't get what he wanted. No one takes these power tripping idiots seriously... But where were you guys when Bush, a Republican, was trying to do it? Where was the out-rage? Where was the out-rage when he disrespected and completely ignored our constitution, not once, not twice, not three times or four, but several times?

    Again, your making assumptions.. I did not support everything Bush did, I frequently voiced my opposition to policies I thought was wrong, the biggest of which was the bailouts. You see, I don't have a ego to contend with like you and Doc do.

    Don't let him derail your thread... It's best to try and stay on topic and I'll do the same from here on out..

    It's pretty shocking the things I'm learning about Governor Bev Purdue, How this Woman got elected in the first is beyond me, And I thought my state had idiots for voters.

    When Donald Trump caught wind of The Minutemen movement, he abruptly withdrew from the presidency bid. New York (New Amsterdam) being one of the original colonies makes up a strong base of support, wealth, demographics, and common sense that are at the core values of The Minutemen. However, the Donald would not be a viable candidate for the president of the United Colonies. The biggest reason is he believes that his home, New York City, should be the capital of the United Colonies. He refuses to move or live in Philadelphia. The same goes for Rudi.

    This lead us to another candidate. Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey was slated to announce his candidacy for the Republican Nomination for United States presidency this past mid-August. However, when approached by members of the The Minutemen movement regarding the possibility of presidency of The United Colonies, he canceled his plans to run as the Republican nominee. To this day, despite much prodding and pleading, he still has not declared his GOP intentions.

    Keeping with the plans of the United Colonies to locate its capital in Philadelphia, when informed that he would have to vacate his present office and move to Philadelphia, the New Jersey governor was heard to proclaim,

    "Hell Yes! I'm ready for an upgrade".

    Surround the proposed solutions to the original 13 and then they Die or Surrender. No resources or enough money.
    The only way this will happen is if the King comes back in retreat from the take over of the old world, or IF the US is taken over by the NWO.

    I am very hopeful we'll be able to bring our Colonial Script Currency back

    1776_03000_4931a.jpg

    It is backed by real gold and silver.

    And its just cool as hell.

    Sorry, just kidding because I know there will not be individual state currency with the new United Colonies.

    The currency will be backed by actual gold and silver. In theme, it will be fundamentally the same in the sense of featuring Colonial Statesmen and monuments like the Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

    One portrait that is being heavily pushed for is "The Old Man in the Mountains" rock formation of Vermont. (see here for comparison)

    This natural rock formation guided early colonial explorers, hunters, and the "Green Mountain Boys". But, alas...the formation is no longer there. Other additions will be native american figures and culture.

    So the new money should be exciting and actually worth something.

    Thank you for posting..... I didn't even click the link, just glanced through the article Zurc posted. One thing I learned long ago is that any information Zurc brings to this forum is usually smear or propaganda that he cherry picked off Google... He types in keywords like "Bush" and "Constitution" and does a copy and paste on articles that slant the truth.. Like when he created a thread claiming Ronald Reagan added 5 times more to the debt than Obama has; http://www.dnforum.com/f254/who-incr...ad-457251.html Again, cherry picking dates and percentages to paint a FALSE picture.

    Back on topic... Your going to like this, Republicans have the majority in the North Carolina State legislature, so what we have is a Governor who's completely at odds with state congress and is having a hard time getting what she wants through, now here's the kicker; The State is doing something that "Bev" doesn't quite like, their re-drawing district lines that will likely favor Republicans, If this happens, 3 Democrats are at risk of losing their seats..... See where I'm going?

    Theirs always a reason people do things, especially politicians.

    Hopefully the citizens of N.C. will start a recall campaign to throw her stupid ass out of office.


    Please vote Republican in 2012, America can not sustain another 4 years
    of Liberal policies that are fiscally and socially destroying the country.

    Others are starting to think the same as I...



    ---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

    A dangerous new chapter is being written in American history that, if successful, is destined to impact the history of the West. It’s called ‘Re-Election by Suspended Election Revolution’

    With absolutely no proof of any kind of who he really is, Barack Obama made it to the Oval Office in 2008. There was no media vetting of the largely absentee senator from Illinois, who even back then had the temerity to compare himself to Abraham Lincoln. All anyone ever had to go on was an autobiographical book suspected of being ghost-written by an unrepentant domestic terrorist. We all know how it goes with politicians and autobiographical books.When Nancy Pelosi writes hers she will claim she trumps Mother Teresa, the Calcutta saint, not the one married to John Kerry.

    If Harry Reid ever gets around to it, writing his, wine will turn to vinegar overnight.
    You can claim to be anyone you want in a book, and that’s what Barry Soetoro did.
    The point is that Barry Soetoro took the name Barack Hussein Obama, got himself elected and immediately began pushing the country so many look up to, right up to the precipice and nobody—nobody—has been able to stop him.
    Now when we have a narcissistic Obama plunging in the polls, a democrat governor in NorthCarolina is pushing the envelope for suspending elections and covering up a notion she dropped a bombshell by claiming she was only using hyperbole to make a point for a Rotary Club.

    If the election were held tomorrow, Obama would go down in a landslide strikingly more humiliating than the shellacking he and his party got—and never got over—in the midterms.
    But the 2012 election is more than a year away, and the man who made it all the way to the most powerful office on earth sans identity documents has all the booty, and the absolute power it brings, at his command.
    This is Obama’s well-stocked position at a time when only suspended elections would guarantee his re-election.
    North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue was not joking when she spoke about suspending elections. Nor did she pick the idea out of thin air. Perdue was giving the suspend-congressional-elections idea its first oxygen for her hell-bent-for-leather boss.
    It is crucial to not let this day go down without remembering what Perdue said.
    Don’t let the state-controlled mainstream media lure you back to sleep by saying if there is no election, then why is Obama so diligently campaigning.
    Obama is not campaigning. He is preparing for Stage Two of the Total Transformation of America, using taxpayer money to prepare his Internet-identified “troops” for the coming Marxist Revolution.
    He must not be allowed to get away with it. Patriots should now be doing everything legal to stop him in his tracks.
    Nothing is impossible when all the control is held by a tyrant.
    Obama and his masters already pulled the biggest scam on any country in modern times by making it to the White House without legitimate I.D.
    A dangerous new chapter is being written in American history that, if successful, is destined to impact the history of the West. It’s called ‘Re-Election by Suspended Election Revolution’.
    Patriots who want their grandchildren to grow up in a Marxist-free America should start the counter revolution called the ‘Revolution for an Obama-free America’ and they should start it “like yesterday”.
