• Little Billy Rehnquist  As you read this, Rehnquist's successors are actively preparing to continue their efforts (from 1968, 1970, 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008) to deny blacks the right to vote in the 2010 general elections. 
  
  A former law clerk for Rehnquist by the name of John Roberts cast the deciding vote in a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision which has cleared the way for foreigners (such as Osama Bin Laden) and foreign corporations (such as the various corporations operated and actually owned by the government of the People's Republic of China) and a congeries of very rich anonymous people (since they are anonymous you have no way to know whether they are foreigners or Americans) to purchase hundreds of millions of dollars of air time (which you technically control in the public interest convenience and necessity) to broadcast misleading and false advertisements encouraging votes for Republican candidates in the 2010 general elections. 
• Subversion Of Economists and Economics      
• President Obama, thank goodness, vetoed the sneaky effort, disguised as reform of interstate acceptance of  notarized documents, that would have legalized the shady practices banks are using to foreclose illegally.
• Rove Tries To Project His Disgusting Behavior Onto Others
  Free and fair American elections are the essence of national security. Keeping the elections free of foreign money and foreign influences should be a national security priority of the first order. In setting national security policy, plans are always made to deal with the  the worst possibility. In this case, until proven convincingly otherwise (for example by an independent pre-election audited full disclosure of all financial transactions), the probability is that George W. Bush assistants Karl Rove and  Ed Gillespie, along with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (and the money it collects from foreign affiliates), are using foreign money (and subject to foreign influence) as they spend millions trying to elect Republican candidates. In the absence of such an audited pre-election full disclosure, the only safe and prudent way to protect the national security is to elect Democrats.
  A brief ad from a group which has always had (and continues to have) the national security (and a wise and strong national defense posture) foremost in its considerations is here.
