To make it worse the average American does not even know what the Constitution says about our government and money. To keep it simple, the United States Constitution says in article 1, section 8. "[Congress shall have the power..]To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures". The Constitution does not give Congress the authority to print paper money themselves, let alone delegate control over mone... (read more) Author: Raymond Powell

3. The Future of the Labor Movement November 07, 2008 As election day draws near, it appears extremely likely that Barack Obama will be elected the next President of the United States. In addition, there is a general consensus, even among Republicans, that the Democrats will pickup seats in congress and may even obtain a “filibuster proof” majority in the Senate. Currently, the Democrats have 49 seats in the Senate. In addition to those 49 seats, there are 2 independents, Joe Lieberman and Bernard Sanders, who caucus with the Democrats, effectively giving them a 51 seat majority. However, in order to get anything done in the Senate, 60 votes... (read more) Author: Darryl Cherness

4. Do I Need To Buy A New TV Before The Digital Switch On February 17, 2009? November 06, 2008 On February 17, 2009 all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only on digital. Since the 1990’s, Congress determined that broadcast stations must transition from analog television broadcasting to digital television broadcasting.

7. The Career in Politics September 23, 2008 Why do candidates for Congress spend millions of dollars for an office that pays $169,200.00? Between 2004 and 2006, members of Congress' net worth increased an average of 84% - book advances, speaking engagements, stock and land deals, privileged mortgages, etc. The United States is no longer the representative democracy and politics our founders conceived because of a glaring flaw in our Constitution: it allows individuals to make a career of public office. This creates a critical conflict of interest for politicians between their own ambitions and their responsibility as representative... (read more) Author: bobby james

10. Voting for President is a Serious Issue September 02, 2008 The people of our country truly worry me. Voting for the President of the United States is a serious issue and not an entertainment piece. For beginners, I am tired of hearing irrational and apparent uneducated persons' accusing George Bush of everything. The number #1 primary duty of our president is to protect the people. "Commander in Chief" Congress is the blame for most issues and believe it or not, a lot of it begins in your particular state and cities.
