Jeez,
This is a totally incomplete list. I don't see daffy duck listed at all.

Feel free to add to this blacklist the names of people who harm the United States, and our children by producing or acting in the "entertainment" products they foist on us.

Even though he lost the popular vote in 2000 and was put in office by Republican Supreme Court justices, he exudes a sort of swagger, as if he richly deserves the most awesome power ever placed in the hands of any human. Never before has a U.S. president clamored for war as he's doing. It's glaringly obvious that Bush wants to attack Iraq, his father's old enemy, with no provocation and no actual evidence of Iraqi wrongdoing. He's eager to fire 3,000 deadly missiles into the small, decrepit, defenseless country, killing God knows how many people. Time columnist Joe Klein wrote that Bush seems "to ricochet between piety and puerility... always bathed in the blinding glare of his own certainty." In Tuesday's New York Times, Nicholas Kristof said: "It's impossible to understand President Bush without acknowledging the centrality of his faith. Indeed, there may be an element of messianic vision in the plan to invade Iraq and 'remake' the Middle East." The cover story of the latest Newsweek explores the president's unusual religiosity, his involvement in naive Bible-study groups, his past declarations that only Jesus-worshippers go to heaven, and his embrace of born-again fundamentalists who now "form the core of the Republican Party, which controls all of the capital for the first time in a half-century." "Bible-believing Christians are Bush's strongest backers," the magazine notes. "...He is busy tending to the base with pro-life judicial appointments, a proposed ban on human cloning.... They are, by far, the strongest supporters of a war - unilateral if need be - to remove Saddam.... "Bush advisers know that many Americans - and much of the world - see him as a man blinded by his beliefs (and those of his most active supporters) to the complexities of the world." Born to wealth and political power, Bush was an obnoxious near-alcoholic in the 1980s, the magazine says, then he plunged into evangelical religion as a cure. "It was goodbye Jack Daniels, hello Jesus," a friend said. Now he leads prayer sessions in the White House and repeatedly proclaims his devotion to Jesus. But he's a contradiction of the compassionate Christ, in my view. Jesus opposed the death penalty ("He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.") But Bush presided over hundreds of executions as Texas governor - an all-time record of putting people to death - and voiced no qualms about it. Jesus cared most for the poor, the little people. But Bush has showered trillion-dollar tax giveaways on America's rich, and wants to give them trillions more. He ignores 44 million "working poor" Americans who can't afford medical insurance. Jesus said "blessed are the peacemakers" - but Bush scoffs at every peace initiative, every concession that might avert war. Americans are living through a strange time. The cocky president is hellbent for war, and the public is powerless to do much about it. Worse, few can fathom what's driving him. Observers can only guess at his possible motives. It's a disturbing puzzle. |

Slight correction, you and I (I assume you, I know I) are not elected representitives, we can "blacklist" anyone we desire with no ramifications other than them losing money. Even if this organized blacklist succeeds and the lowlives are run out of hollywood, it is OK, as it was not government sponsored. You blacklist/boycott every day. WHy do you buy a generic product over a non-generic? Why do you buy your favorite brand over one you have found to not be your favorite? It is a very American thing to do, as long as it is *not* the government doing it. Wouldn't you agree? On Fri, 07 Mar 2003 05:42:47 GMT, wrote: That should read Joe McCarthy.

What is the difference between the Winner-Takes-All Rule and Proportional Voting, and which States follow which rule? Can citizens in U.S. Territories vote for President? What would happen if two candidates tied in a State's popular vote, or if there was a dispute as to the winner? References How did the terms "Elector" and "Electoral College" come into usage? The term "electoral college" does not appear in the Constitution. Article II of the Constitution and the 12th Amendment refer to "electors," but not to the "electoral college." In the Federalist Papers (No. 68), Alexander Hamilton refers to the process of selecting the Executive, and refers to "the people of each State (who) shall choose a number of persons as electors," but he does not use the term "electoral college." The founders appropriated the concept of electors from the Holy Roman Empire (962 - 1806). An elector was one of a number of princes of the various German states within the Holy Roman Empire who had a right to participate in the election of the German king (who generally was crowned as emperor). The term "college" (from the Latin collegium), refers to a body of persons that act as a unit, as in the college of cardinals who advise the Pope and vote in papal elections. In the early 1800s, the term "electoral college" came into general usage as the unofficial designation for the group of citizens selected to cast votes for President and Vice President. It was first written into Federal law in 1845, and today the term appears in 3 U.S.C. section 4, in the section heading and in the text as "college of electors." Who selects the Electors? The process for selecting electors varies throughout the United States. Generally, the political parties nominate electors at their State party conventions or by a vote of the party's central committee in each State. Electors are often selected to recognize their service and dedication to their political party. They may be State elected officials, party leaders, or persons who have a personal or political affiliation with the Presidential candidate. Then the voters in each State choose the electors on the day of the general election. The electors' names may or may not appear on the ballot below the name of the candidates running for President, depending on the procedure in each State. What are the qualifications to be an elector? The U.S. Constitution contains very few provisions relating to the qualifications of electors. Article II, section 1, clause 2 provides that no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector. As a historical matter, the 14th Amendment provides that State officials who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States or given aid and comfort to its enemies are disqualified from serving as electors. This prohibition relates to the post-Civil War era. A State's certification of electors on its Certificates of Ascertainment is generally sufficient to establish the qualifications of electors. How does the Electoral College elect the President? For a complete explanation, please visit our Electoral College Procedural Guide at: http://www.archives.gov/federal_regi...al_guide.html. The following is a summary of the Electoral College process for election year 2000. Key Electoral College Dates and Events November 7, 2000 - General Election: The voters in each State choose electors to serve in the Electoral College. As soon as election results are final, the States prepare seven "Certificates of Ascertainment" of the electors chosen, and send one original along with two certified copies to the Archivist of the United States. December 18, 2000 - Meeting of Electors: The electors in each State meet to select the President and Vice President of the United States. The electors record their votes on six "Certificates of Vote," which are paired with the six remaining original "Certificates of Ascertainment." The electors sign, seal and certify the packages of electoral votes and immediately send them to the President of the Senate, the Archivist of the United States and other designated Federal and State officials. December 27, 2000 - Deadline for Receipt of Electoral Votes: The President of the Senate, the Archivist of the United States, and other designated Federal and State officials must have the electoral votes in hand. January 6, 2001 - Counting Electoral Votes in Congress: The Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes (unless Congress passes a law to change the date). How does the Electoral College process work in my State? For information on the electoral process in your State, you may wish to contact the Secretary of State of your State. For example, the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has a web page devoted to the electoral college: All About the Electoral College in Massachusetts. To find your Secretary of State, go to the web site for the National Association of Secretaries of State: http://www.nass.org. Is my vote for President and Vice President meaningful in the Electoral College system? Yes, within your State your vote has a great deal of significance. Under the Electoral College system, we do not elect the President and Vice President through a direct nation-wide vote. The Presidential election is decided by the combined results of 51 State elections (in this context, the term "State" includes DC). Your vote helps decide which candidate receives your State's electoral votes. It is possible that an elector could ignore the results of the popular vote, but that occurs very rarely. The founders of the nation devised the Electoral College system as part of their plan to share power between the States and the national government. Under the Federal system adopted in the Constitution, the nation-wide popular vote has no legal significance. As a result, it is possible that the electoral votes awarded on the basis of State elections could produce a different result than the nation-wide popular vote. Nevertheless, the individual citizen's vote is important to the outcome of each State election. Must electors vote for the candidate who won their State's popular vote? There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States. Some States, however, require electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote. These pledges fall into two categories -- electors bound by State law and those bound by pledges to political parties. Which States bind electors to popular vote results? Refer to Electors Bound by State Law and Pledges to find out. The Supreme Court has held that the Constitution does not require that electors be completely free to act as they choose and therefore, political parties may extract pledges from electors to vote for the parties' nominees. Some State laws provide that so-called "faithless electors" may be subject to fines or may be disqualified for casting an invalid vote and be replaced by a substitute elector. The Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on the question of whether pledges and penalties for failure to vote as pledged may be enforced under the Constitution. No elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged. Today, it is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate. Electors generally hold a leadership position in their party or were chosen to recognize years of loyal service to the party. Throughout our history as a nation, more than 99 percent of electors have voted as pledged. How is it possible for the electoral vote to produce a different result than the nation-wide popular vote? It is important to remember that the President is not chosen by a nation-wide popular vote. The electoral vote totals determine the winner, not the statistical plurality or majority a candidate may have in the nation-wide vote totals. Electoral votes are awarded on the basis of the popular vote in each State. Note that 48 out of the 50 States award electoral votes on a winner-takes-all basis (as does DC). For example, all 54 of California's electoral votes go to the winner of that State election, even if the margin of victory is only 50.1 percent to 49.9 percent. In a multi-candidate race where candidates have strong regional appeal, as in 1824, it is quite possible that a candidate who collects the most votes on a nation-wide basis will not win the electoral vote. In a two-candidate race, that is less likely to occur. But it did occur in the Hayes/Tilden election of 1876 and the Harrison/Cleveland election of 1888 due to the statistical disparity between vote totals in individual State elections and the national vote totals. Why do we still have the Electoral College? The Electoral College process is part of the original design of the U.S. Constitution. It would be necessary to pass a Constitutional amendment to change this system. Note that the 12th Amendment, the expansion of voting rights, and the use of the popular vote in the States as the vehicle for selecting electors has substantially changed the process. Many different proposals to alter the Presidential election process have been offered over the years, such as direct nation-wide election by the People, but none have been passed by Congress and sent to the States for ratification. Under the most common method for amending the Constitution, an amendment must be proposed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress and ratified by three-fourths of the States. Should we go on Ad nauseum? |
