Updates

This page is for new developments as the election draws near. Since most of the information on this website was written between October and December of 2006, you can bet that current events will change and that other information will need to be added to this website. All changes and updates will be located here.

Update #1 (12/28/06) - It has been brought to our attention that the guys on the PBS television program called "This Old House" should be enlisted to do all of the changes at the White House that will be required to implement the "Enjoy the White House" program. This way the American Taxpayers can watch for themselves what's taking place. Sounds like a plan - if they aren't too busy with other projects. Of course this would not only include "Tawmee", "Rojja", and the gang but also Norm Abrams since there will be a change of the furniture in the areas frequented by the guests.

Update #2 (01/05/07) - The following information is exactly the same as that found on the page "Contact Information/Mailbag", question #3:

Question - You can't run the U.S. government on the general consensus of the common people! [This response to the "Meet and Vote" program was made in an email from a Jewish man in Israel who has media influence. I responded to his email, but thought I should address it publicly. His name is withheld for privacy sake.]

Answer - I sure hope no Americans feel that way. But I fear that many have been conditioned to think exactly that way. That's why I am addressing this false notion here. Running the U.S. government on a general consensus of the common people is exactly what the founding fathers had in mind. They had no plans for the American people to be led around by the nose by national leaders who had an agenda different from the people. Our U.S. Constitution begins, with the Preamble, in a manner that lets everyone understand that the new government was the people - not the states and not the King of England and not a few elected or appointed leaders who would tell the rest of the nation what to do.

"We the people of the United States...", is how the Preamble begins. It ends with, "...do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America." Our elected representatives are supposed to represent the people who put them in Washington, not special interest groups and big businesses. And they're not supposed to set up their own sub-culture within Washington that has a different agenda than the rest of the country. They are there to do what the people want. The "Meet and Vote" program is designed to return power back to the people. It is based on the assumption that the American Taxpayers are intelligent enough to know what they want and to know what is best for them.

The idea behind the "Meet" part of the program is that the nation should meet together (via television) and discuss the current crisis or issue that the people want a say in - so that the people can get properly informed. The idea behind the "Vote" part of the program is that the majority of American Taxpayers will vote correctly on that issue the majority of the time if they are properly informed on the issue. As President Lincoln said in the Gettysburg address, "...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." Our government is uniquely "of the people".

Since we have technology that our founding fathers did not have (television), we can use this format as a way to meet together as a nation. Meeting this way with the nation's leaders will allow the people to get properly informed about issues that affect us. Then they can vote on the issues and let their elected representatives know exactly what they want. The nation's leaders can then enact legislation accordingly. That's the "Meet and Vote" program. It's completely compatible with the U.S. Constitution. And it promises to get the will of the "common people" done in Washington. This concept of government is foreign to many foreigners - but I hope not to Americans.
