Now ask yourself is the Universe really ready for a woman as President? I don't know. But I think she would make a Damn good one. I also believe Ms. Hillary would do a better job than what he have seen from past Presidents. Change can be a good and even a great thing.

Seed of Deceit
Obama with a seed of deception? Has anyone ever thought maybe Mr. Sweet and Charismatic is not all what he wants us to believe he is? I thought about this. Point in being--if you remember in the very beginning when he was elected as Senator the media start asking him right away do you have any intentions on running for President? As you can recall he quickly responded oh no! Sure. I know anyone can change their mind; but I wonder if he was planning to run from President all along. Why didn't he build more experience by wearing the hat of Senator for awhile. I just think its odd that someone would go from Senator to running in the Presidential campaign without even serving one full term as being a newly elected Senator.

Government Policy
Administrative Government Agencies
by: Donald Yates
Petitioning Government
Just how does one go about petitioning one of the many obscure branches of government? Agencies discussed here mostly effect our lives in administering the laws of the land, are called “The Administrative Agencies”. There are three devisions within the Administrative Agencies, first is the Regulatory Agencies which consist of:
Business Standards
Responsible for regulating safety issues of public interest of specific businesses For example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Rate making
Regulates the price of certain goods and services, such as utilities, telephone,
transportation companies, and dairy products. For example, state public utility
Commissions, department of Food and Agriculture and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Licensing sets and maintains standards for entry into a business or occupation; many also enforce professional standards and decide disciplinary matters involving licensees. Medical boards, funeral boards, and cosmetology boards, for example, are licensing agencies. Many states have a long list of such boards. Some boards are completely independent; others fall under the jurisdiction of other state departments
Permitting agencies generally require businesses or industries to preserve the quality of the environment. They set minimum standards for construction projects, waste disposal plants, the agricultural use of pesticides, and other projects with an environmental impact. City and county planning commissions are local permitting agencies.
Social welfare and entitlement agencies oversee public benefits programs. They include social service departments, health and welfare agencies, and housing departments.
Government operations agencies keep government functioning; they involve purchasing, personnel, property management, etc.
There are some agencies classified as part of the executive branch which fall under the authority of the president, state governor, or mayor, which can also be independent groups. There are also independent agencies known as boards or commissions which are headed by multi-member groups appointed by the executive or legislative branch or by both branches together like the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Many states also have agencies chaired by elected officials,such as insurance commissioners.
Administrative agencies expedite their missions mainly through one of four ways:
1.Rule-making,
2.Adjudication
3.Licensing and permitting,
4.Rate-making.
Some public agencies, such as school, municipal utility, emergency services and hospital boards oversee services provided directly to the community.
Private agencies and organizations
There are organizations not connected to government which can be petitioned to make changes in their procedures. These organizations are under no obligation to respond or act as you wish. But by following proper protocol you stand a good chance of moving your agenda for change forward. By using documented facts, an organized coalition of interested groups, presenting a possible solution, and media pressure will almost always get a response from the agency you focus on.
Agencies’ processes
Rule-making is the process by which agencies establish, change, or eliminate rules and regulations—the operational details of the laws passed by the legislative branch.
Rules and regulations are used to require businesses to act in a responsible manner so as to refrain them from behaving in ways that could harm the public, or to provide government services in an efficient and equitable manner. As example would be to restrict the amounts and types of chemicals farmers can use, or prevent the sale of unsafe or unreliable drugs and medical devices.
Agencies also establish rules and regulations to require responsible, positive behavior, like testing drugs and medical devices before they are made available to the public. Many rules and regulations are set by the agency, profession, trade, or populace who are being regulated or affected by the particular agency. One note of importance is to remember, that you or any citizen may propose a new regulation, or propose change or the elimination of an existing regulation. Simply by following protocol you can exercise your right to petition local, state, or federal agencies, if you feel a change needs to be made.
Before any proposed rule can be adopted, agency officials must notify the effected public and provide an opportunity for people to comment or protest.
Most usually regulations are formally adopted when approved by the head of an agency or members of its board of directors. The new ruling usually becomes effective 30 days after the approval.
Adjudication
The process by which an agency may determine whether a person or organization has violated a rule or a law and, if so, what disciplinary action should be taken. Some agencies have the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders, to impose fines, or to revoke, suspend, or modify licenses or permits or operation. Usually, such proceedings are held as hearings similar to court procedures and decisions.
You or any citizen can ask an agency to enforce a rule or a law. Requests for enforcement can be an effective tool to hold industry or business accountable for their actions.
Licensing and permitting
The process by which an agency grants a business or individual permission to engage in a particular occupation, operate in a certain manner, or do business in a certain jurisdiction. Agencies are often required to post public notices of an application for a license or permit and to provide for public comment. Citizens participation in the process can effectively shape the activity of a licensed business or require some public benefit in return for granting a license or permit
Rate-making
The process by which an administrative body determines the rate companies can charge for public utilities or certain goods and services, such as gas and electricity, cable and telephone services, and transportation. If proper procedures are followed, the public may participate in rate-making proceedings.
If a citizen believes the agency’s procedures are not fair, or if they have not given the public a reasonable chance to make their case, they can be petitioned by any citizen to change, eliminate, or add to their procedures.
It is the right and duty of each citizen to be observant and responsible in holding government agencies accountable for their actions.

Huckabee Factor
The Mike Huckabee Factor
by: Tania Gabrielle
I know it’s been Oprah’s big weekend foray into politics. But there’s another story that’s brewing. And its effect will probably eclipse Oprah very soon.
I’m talking about Mike Huckabee. A friend asked me about him a couple of months ago. Not knowing who he was, I did the numbers. Then I told my friend, ‘watch out for this man. He’s going to go far.’
Since that day I’ve kept an eye on Huckabee. He’s fulfilling his promise fast. Unusually fast. Two weeks ago polls put him in 5th place in South Carolina. Now he’s leading. Without ever placing a television ad. You may think the Republican race is unpredictable from day to day. And that everything is still up for grabs.
Well, wait til you hear about Huckabee’s numbers before assuming it’s a free-for-all.
Mike Huckabee’s name, an unforgettable one, adds up to 14/5 - the Media Number. Watch out when a candidate has this number. Yes, it took a little time before he made national news, but once people SAW him, they LIKED him. This is what the number 14/5 does. It endears you to the person you’re seeing and hearing on radio, TV and the internet.
With a 14 name, Huckabee’s magnetic communication with the public will even outweigh his message. Meaning, there will be many people who agree with some of what he stands for - but the main reason they’re going to vote for him is entirely instinctual. They’re having a strong gut reaction to his voice and his demanor. He is genuine. He’s funny. He’s got the magnetic personality of a bygone star.
The 14/5 Media Number also gives him the freedom to not always tote the party line. Huckabee’s willingness to break with certain long-held views and stick to his own guns, makes him even more appealing.
And what about those debates. His 14 name is crucial for those as well, enabling him to come out on top, because of his endearing and humorous communication skills.
Huckabee’s day of birth, 24/6, adds to his fortune. Here again he has another highly magnetic vibration. 24 ensures an effortless flow in life – everything is easily attainable. Additionally, 6 represents the ‘cosmic parent.’ Huckabee’s folksy, down home style makes him someone you want to get to know – and invite home for dinner.
These two numbers, 14 and 24, are vital to his campaign.
In fact, going into the holidays, when campaigns go on hiatus, Huckabee is in the middle of an out-of-left-field surge in key states. Due to the suddenness of his rising popularity, he’s more unscathed than other Republicans. With his 14/5 name, he’ll emerge back in January in full force.
And I haven’t even talked about his currently active numbers. Believe me, they are good. So is his Life Purpose Number. In fact, ALL are going to be in full force next year. 2008 is a Personal Year of amazing synchronicities for Huckabee.
2008 is shaping up to be a big year for you as well. It happens to add up to a 10 – the number of Instant Manifestation. So it’s very, very important for you to know how your own personal numbers are lining up next year. Because you will manifest everything easily – good or bad.
And because there’s an 8 in 2008, a big subject for you will be all things related to monee and abundance. Get your personal blueprint now at http://www.taniagabrielle.com
As for the other Presidential Candidates, both Democrats and Republicans, I’ll be revealing their numerology success quotient very soon.

Campaign Trail
America: The Presidents, The Politics And The Wars
by: Nick Carter
The United States of America used to pride itself on a reputation for diplomacy and integrity. The world's largest economy, land of the capitalist dream. Immigrants would flock to America looking for their chance in life, looking to make a go of it all for their family. Then something went wrong. The global perception of the US changed, and suddenly the ethical and moral high ground was destroyed by needless bloodshed and political interference beyond the scope of their global role.
The Vietnam war - a tragedy of greed and senseless aggression. Vietnam wasn't an American war, yet it was this involvement that started the cycle of distrust and negative feeling towards the United States and everything it stood for. And that's not to mention the horrendous loss of life, and the destruction of lives caused by politically motivated violence. You'd think we'd learn our lesson, huh?
In 2003, George W. Bush with the support of Tony Blair sent hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Iraq on the premise of 'illegal weapons programmes' and 'imminent threats'. A chip off the old block, some would say. George H. W. Bush's invasion of 1990 failed to overthrow the regime or gain control of the wealth of oil in Iraq. His son was more fortunate.
One of the most controversial American authors of our time, Bob Miller has been a staunch campaigner against the Bush administrations of now and then, since back in 1976. A Veteran of the Vietnam war, Miller has been cast as a pariah, a renegade, and has even been taken into custody by the US Secret Service for his outspoken approach to American politics. Nevertheless Miller has continued his relentless attack on the Bush regime and everything it stands for, traveling the country to deliver his opinions on the real motives of the Bush family.
A Republican himself, Miller is no stranger to the world of political activism. Yet his controversial branding in the mainstream media has seen him cast aside as yet another extremist, unpatriotic and senseless. However, with his latest book "Kill Me If You Can, You SOB", Miller aims to express the true horrors of the Vietnam war, without descending into the same old 'this and that' of the Bush dynasty and their own brand of extremism.
Without forming opinions for the reader or giving a blow by blow account of the war and the politics behind it, Miller's latest effort is based on diary entries from his time in the war, telling the tale more graphically than could otherwise be possible of the horrors behind the wars and foreign policy of the Bush administrations.
As Miller was quoted as saying, "Bush has spent the lives of thousands of young Americans and billions of dollars for oil, not terrorists, and everyone knew it. To have participated in this needless savagery in any way is not only hypocritical, it's blasphemous. And to blame the son, and not the father, is like blaming the puppet, not the puppeteer. Like his father Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush's epitaph should read, 'Here lies incomprehensible evil.'"
