During your time as Governor, have you found corporate influence/lobbying to be over-balanced compared to purely civic-minded concerns over public
issues? No specific names or identifying comments are being asked, only the
level of this "balance" is being addressed.
In your associations with other State & Federal Officers, how often have you found them to be working at cross-purposes to their Constitutional Duties
& Limitations of Office? Again, I seek an answer only within your experience, based on the frequencies of such occurences.
How often have you seen the broadcast/print media report in direct contradiction to what actual
facts that you've learned in your position as
Governor? Again, I ask only the
frequency on media being misrepresentative.

In addtion to that, America is claimed to be a democracy and is totally anti-non-democracies.
In this vein, how have your political associates answered to the fact that the Constitution (Article 4, Section 4) demands that America retain a
Republican form of government?

Jesse is outspoken and has NEVER allowed anyone to sway him from his feelings about Patriotism. He is a fellow Vietnam Vet and I
am proud to call him a brother.
While I can't claim the same as Dave, I
can claim "Gulf War Veteran" status (as per Daddy Bush's Gulf War), although I never actually
participated in any combat...So I shouldn't push any further than thinking of both Dave & Jessie as being "cousins."
In relationship though, how much do you think that the Commander-in-Chief actually orders the military around for Corporate interests instead of
National Defense?

Awesome! That's the exact pic that didnt work in my post - and what a ripper movie too
IMO, even the Predator had to resort to bushwhacking Jessie from behind because it couldn't handle facing Jessie in the open...

How do you suppose the American people can go about prosecuting the current administration for the crimes it has committed on the American public?
A related question: How the hell are we going to find people to replace them that won't try the same shenanigans?
And finally: Would you consider hanging around ATS more & contribute postings?
