November was rough, but it's time to get back to work. Pick your lip up off the floor, scrape the Romney/Ryan sticker off your back windshield (replace it with something like a Gonzalez or Gadsden Flag, or course) and get back to work. America needs you now more than ever. In case you don't believe me, while we dawdle, Democrats are unleashing statist fury on states like Texas.  Last week, Politico reported:

It's the messaging, stupid.Much has been made since the past election cycle regarding the GOP's inability to reach out to voters.  While doing so, many are focusing on the voter themselves, or as Rush Limbaugh refers to them - the low-information voter.

James O'Keefe has conducted many operations that expose attempts to commit voter fraud. Today, he's out with a bombshell.

It was just a few months ago that Fox News contributor Juan Williams was following the lead of his liberal media cohorts in pretending that voter fraud was a non-existent phenomenon.  He brushed the concept off as nothing more than an attempt to suppress Democrat voters in general, and minority voters more specifically.  Williams called GOP demands for voter ID laws a "fictional controversy", the equivalent of "yelling 'fire' when there is no fire".

By now, we've watched the first Presidential Debate on October 3; we've read and watched the post-game analysis; we've digested what we saw and how it was analyzed. It was universally hailed by the punditocracy, both on the right and the left, as a significant victory for Romney.

On August 4, John Fund appeared as the keynote speaker at the annual Gathering of the Eagles in Turner, Oregon. This annual gathering, put on by former Oregon gubernatorial candidate Ames Curtwright, is one of the largest conservative rallies on the West Coast. This year, over 700 attendees were in the audience to hear Mr. Fund talk about his new book, Who's Counting? How Fraudsters And Bureaucrats Put Your Vote At Risk.

Democracy and Power 105:  The Politician seeks power “… Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”  The Declaration of Independence

Moral and Legal Authority: We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.   Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.  Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.- John Adams, Oct.11, 1798  

Democracy and Power 107:  Counting votes Successful … politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. – Walter Lippmann (1889-1974), American Journalist and Author
