 Michigan, USA - The Chaldean Caucus has sent out over 6,000 e-mails and mailed out over 2,000 letters to likely Chaldean voters reminding them that tomorrow, Tuesday, August 5 are the primary elections. “We want to keep the Chaldean community informed and excited about local races as much as the upcoming presidential race,” says Lauren George, western district Chaldean Caucus representative.
Politicians have come to realize the importance of winning the Chaldean vote says George. “The community values democracy. Coming from a country that would kill your entire family should you dare consider thinking and acting in democratic ways, we are hungry to participate. Our community is active in campaigns, involved in running for politics, and we get out the vote.”
The largest population of Chaldeans in the United States lives in Oakland County, Michigan. George says that political candidates in that county wisely court the Chaldean constituency knowing that Chaldeans can make all the difference.
“We have great candidates vying for their party representation or to make the ballot list in the primary. Candidates for Oakland County Prosecutor Attorney, County Commissioners, County Sheriff, district representatives, 6th Circuit Judge, 46th District Judge, Probate Judge, and even a ballot proposal to fund West Bloomfield parks and the Detroit Zoo,” shares George. District representatives for the 26, 27, 29, 35, 37, 38, 39, and 40 are highly populated Chaldean regions where candidates have to fight through a primary.
“Voters can not split their ticket,” says George . “In other words, if you vote for a candidate in a Republican primary, all voting must remain on the Republican side otherwise you spoil your ticket and the vote does not get counted. You just have to pick one side and stick to all the votes on that side. The ballot will also reflect the district for representative, county commissioner, and local races.”
The Chaldean Caucus candidate communication packet encouraged Chaldeans to vote for the following candidates:

The Sunday school teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when a little Chaldean boy interrupted, "My mom looked back once while she was driving," he announced triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone pole!"

Please don't take my health care away
(Madeline Crabb) - This weekend, 435 politicians will decide the future of our health insurance system. More importantly, the future of our liberties, freedom, and our constitutional republic are at risk.

The nothing-thumpers
(Dan Popp) - By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes. -- Shakespeare (Macbeth) I saw something disturbing today. It's a short video designed for the web. It uses no spoken language, just graphics and pulsating music. You can take a look at it here if you like -- but you probably won't have the same reaction I did...
Census is for counting, not prying
(Chuck Baldwin) - The constitutional requirement for the Census is found in Article. I. Section. 2. Paragraph. 3. "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct"...
USA only a few days away from totalitarianism
(Sher Zieve) - Knowing full well that ObamaCare will not only gut Medicare (by $500 Billion or more), create over 150 new agencies designed to control the citizens of the USA (most of which have nothing to do with health), will begin taxing We-the-People immediately upon its being signed into law but will NOT begin serving anyone for years corrupt, bribed and/or intimidated Democrat leaders -- as was to be expected -- folded one by one into the Obama web of deception...
Measuring the fall of US economic freedom
(Kevin Price) - Since 1995 the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal have monitored the economic freedoms of countries around the world and have published their results in the 2010 Index of Economic Freedom. Ideas like "economic freedom" are a little subjective, but I like the stated view of the publication...

Washington chaos portends Obama's vision for America
(Chris Adamo) - As the nationalized "Healthcare" debacle nears its end game, the people of America are increasingly shocked and disgusted by the raw ugliness of the Obama "governing" philosophy. Those platitudes of "hope and change" are gone, and in their place a thoroughly regretful American populace now witnesses, to its horror, the total desecration of this once triumphal constitutional republic...
When politics and history collide
(Jamie Freeze) - Students of history quickly learn that the annals of history are full of cycles and patterns. After all, history repeats itself. Of course, history is made every day, and historians debate how quickly current events can be called history. One thing that fascinates me is reading what politicians in centuries gone by have said concerning the politics of their day...
Brights: The lights are on, but is anyone home?
(Robert Meyer) - Recently, I received an E-mail from a gentleman who described himself as a "Bright." Just in case you are not familiar with the term, it is not slang for an electrician or a light bulb salesman, but someone that is committed to a naturalistic worldview. To put it in simple English, it is a person who does not believe in God, or anything in the supernatural realm...
Become a refusenik
(Marita Vargas) - Jesus was a political genius -- among other things. No one has improved upon his: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." No one. In fact, societies are defined by where they draw the line between God and Caesar. America is even now redrawing that line in favor of Caesar, in favor of a redistribution scheme that has lead to suffering everywhere it has been tried. It will lead to suffering here too; and, perhaps, to persecution...
