Apathy is only part. Ignorance is the rest. Why doesn't the mainstream media report on this? Why do our schools teach children UN curriculum and how to become good global citizens? I think its because most people don't have a clue. After all, how could such a thing be happening in a free country?
Constitutional fundamentalists are just not electable. Alan Keyes is a perfect example. He is viewed as a nut job by most here in Illinois. Yet, he is absolutely dead on the money when it comes to his constitutional knowledge.
Bottom line. Only 10% of the population has a clue what the constitution really says about things. The rest think it is a document written to somehow make sure we all have a chicken in every pot, a full time job, health care, child care, and cheap gas. It would be a joke to ask everybody walking out of WalMart on any given day what the constitution say about anything. Yet, these people are allowed to vote and possibly alter it's enforcement or interpretation. I would feel safer if all of these people had guns than I do with them having the right to vote.
Maybe if we require our elected officials to take a refresher course in the Constitution when they get elected to be repeated if they get re-elected they would represent us better.

The reason they don't have a clue is because of the media. People are fed exactly what the media wants them to know.
BTTT!!!!!!
As long as the average teacher is not the one doing the instructing on the Constitution
Of course, the 'Rats are a big factor in this, but unfortunately, it is not just the 'Rats. We have "bi-partisanship" now, don't you know.
being sold to the Dupes as a "trade agreement", it is primarily about control, and an important building block toward world government. Our Congress will be voting on this early next year. Please put pressure on your senators and congressman to kill it. Find out more here;

The links are all available in the Advance Bulletin website (www.advancebulletin.net), where the article was originally posted. Hedgetrimmer didn't include all of them...
And the only one that requires registration is a link to the article in The Scientist. The UN site does NOT require it. (And I wouldn't expect anyone here to comply)

Oh, yes I forgot about the little RINO traitors! Silly me. Thank you for calling this to my attention. For a brief moment, I regressed to the time that Republicans were actually Conservatives! LOL!
The Totalization Treaty with Mexico is on schedule to go into effect in October. It was signed by the Bush social security administrator June 29. It is before congress and has 60 working days. If congress does nothing, it will automatically become law in October as congress does not have to vote on this.
Right now on FR, the main concern is getting Dan Rather and some mention by the MSM of FR.We have very few days left before this becomes law. Does anyone care? Even Alan Greenspan spoke about the unstable SS recently and encouraged moving the retirement age of the American worker up even more. Again Bush kept his mouth shut with no response as he knows the Totalization Treaty with Mexico is on schedule.
Maybe I am wrong. It looks like the majority of Freepers want to give social security to Mexico and the illegals.

First I have heard of this treaty with Mexico. Can you provide me a link so I can become better informed? Thanks.
Thank you for asking about this.

For some reason the government has decided not to put the complete treaty online. This is the report that the GAO has submitted to congress. If you will notice we are giving SS to Mexico for only 3,000 US workers and risking a catastrophy in our SS system. We will also be rewarding illegal behavior.
I am hoping you will call your congressmen about this and show your displeasure.
I hope you don't mind me changing the subject of your thread. There is no doubt in my mind that totalization is part of agenda 21, poverty. Why else would Bush do this for 3,000 Americans?
I can remember recently when 3,000 Americans lost their jobs from outsourcing, they were told to retrain. Now, when 3,000 people don't like paying taxes in Mexico we create a treaty. What is wrong here?
