On any given day you can find more common sense on the Internet than in a whole week of watching and reading about the unbelievable nonsense that goes on in our government circles. And frequently, circles more than adequately describes those “goings on.”
Just a few days ago I came across a proposal created by a man who admittedly wasn’t sure if the impetus for what he was suggesting came from God; also admitting that only He would know and opted to let the readers decide that for themselves.
He cleverly named his proposal, the 234 Project, the goal of which as he stated, was to get every Republican in Congress on record on the following:
A commitment to vote to remove funding for Obama Care in its entirety.
A commitment to support the removal of the Internal Revenue Service as the federal agency responsible for enforcement of Obama Care mandates.
A commitment to support any impeachment efforts of Barack H. Obama for felonious bribery actions and possible treasonous actions while pressing for approval of Obama Care legislation.
A commitment to support hearings on the question of natural born citizenship legitimacy in accordance with Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 5 of the United States Constitution.
The significance of using 234 in the project name derives from the fact that this year of 2010 is the 234th year of Declaration of Independence in 1776. The goal of acquiring 234 supporters within the both houses of Congress would of necessity have to include some Democrats as there currently are 177 Republican representatives and 41 senators, a total of 218 members.
A total of 16 Democrats would have to be obtained; not an impossible task, but a formidable one given the political climate prevalent today.
However, if the pro-life supporters who changed their votes in favor of Obama Care erroneously believing that an Executive Order would stop funding begin to realize that the EO assurance is not really worth the paper it is written on, an additional possibility of perhaps at least 16 more signers could be obtained, the 234 Project will have met its goal.
The acquiring of 234 votes of course does not guarantee any sort of victory in the total Congress. A minimum total of 218 affirmative votes would be needed in the 435 member House of Representatives and a minimum total of 51 votes would be needed in the Senate. That represents 269 total votes needed to carry both houses, which is 35 votes more than the goal of 234.
Then of course, comes the really big challenge: an override of an almost absolute veto of any nullifying act sent for presidential signature. This requires a vote of two-thirds of BOTH houses or 67 votes in the Senate and 292 votes in the House and unheard of accomplishment in such a heavily Democrat-laden Congress.
But it shows the grit that some people have in order to see real justice served by our government instead of the glib talk and double-dealing and cheating with bribery and many uncouth methods of arm-twisting and cajoling at which this Administration excels.
If you would like to at least give the author a verbal and/or financial pat on the back for making a valiant effort, go to the website for his blog and explanation.
If we had more people like Nedd Kareiva, who has previously worked for us conservative thinkers and doers, at Stop the ACLU Coalition and stoptheaclu.org, we could take back our country quickly.
