http://www.plasmaproductions.netPremiere Speakers Bureau: Exclusively Representing the World's Most Compelling Speakers Alan Keyes, Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Presidential Candidate Alan Keyes spent 11 years with the U.S. State Department. He served in the U.S. Foreign Service and on the staff of the National Security Council before becoming Ronald Reagan's ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, where he represented the interests of the United States in the U.N. General Assembly (1983-85). In 1985, he was appointed Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations (1985-88). Keyes was President of Citizens Against Government Waste (1989-91) and founder of National Taxpayers' Action Day. As the two-time Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Maryland, he challenged liberal Democrats Paul Sarbanes (1988) and Barbara Mikulski (1992). In the 1996 Republican presidential campaign, Alan Keyes eloquently elevated the national political debate. With his unequivocal pro-life, pro-family message, he forced the GOP leadership to address America's moral crisis. His political views are consistently based on America's founding ideals, those in the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. Keyes has a Ph.D. in government from Harvard and wrote his dissertation on constitutional theory. He served as Interim President of Alabama A&M University in 1991. He speaks French and Spanish and a little Russian and ancient Greek, and is the author of Masters of the Dream: The Strength and Betrayal of Black America (1995); and Our Character, Our Future: Reclaiming America's Moral Destiny (1996). Keyes has unashamedly and consistently raised the standard of unalienable rights--and Biblical truth--in defense of the unborn. Keyes confronts the culture of death with compelling and inspiring reasons why abortion must be banned from our land. Keyes and his wife Jocelyn have three children: Francis, Maya, and Andrew. Alan's stated purpose in life, like that of America's Founders, is to provide a secure future for our posterity. Topics: Strategy, Politics, Media, Fundraising, Patriotic, Patriotism, Religion, Faith, Pro-Life, Abortion, Current Events.

For SarabilionessWarning: This song is not for those who are pro-war, and against freedom of speech against the American Government. Trust me, you'll hate me for this.Now I can't say I agree with everything this song says...well, actually I can so I will. I do agree with this song. But I have very strong views and fears for this country's government. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but if you don't, then you shouldn't be watching this video anyway.Ok, I told my views, however, I don't want this video to turn into a mini war on Youtube. So any comments regarding the political systems of America that could start an arguement will be deleted automatically. I know it's censorship of speech, but I hate causing arguments on things that we normal American citizens just can't control. So why waste the precious typing space? We shouldn't. Enjoy the video, kids.Song information:Linkin Park (Writers/performers). (2007). "Hands Held High" [Studio Album]. In "Minutes to Midnight". Produced by Rick Rubin, Mike Shinoda (co-producer).

Peter Bearse comments on Carol Shea-Porter's performance on her 'town meeting' at the Manchester Public Library on June 7, 2008.Learn more at http://peterbearseforcongress.com/and at http://www.nhcitizen.org/modules/content/index.php?id=18Quotes:"She's still trying to give the impression of... working in a bipartisan way, and yet her voting record is clearly contrary to that.""She put people off when they were starting to get an impression as to how things are done in Washington... she says 'Well go talk to my staff, go talk to me afterwards.""I wouldn't have done that. I would have said: look, this is how things happen in Washington... she's clearly not willing to do that."Paygo: "The Democrats have already betrayed their word that they would strictly pay as they go."Boxer/Lieberman/Warner Global Warming bill: 'Someone should have asked her... how she would have voted on that.""I would have asked her to provide a real solution to the veterans' complaints that I hear constantly.""VA is a really cumbersome, unresponsive, bureaucratic organization where... they have to wait months to get treatment.""Let's provide a voucher to veterans that you take to private hospitals and doctors."Balance the budget by taxing the rich? "The revenue is going to go down, not up... because they have choices... they have an army of accountants to help them get around the tax laws.""My solution is... to seek advice of Citizens Against Government Waste which has come up with four pages of budget cuts that could be made without harming the basic services...""What we really need is wholesale tax reform, a simpler tax code... incentives for saving, incentives for investment and disincentives for the excess consumption..."Public transportation: "In... states which are highly suburbanized, or exurban or rural, you have very little mass transit... she really tried to beg off on these questions... as if they were not her responsibility. ...These are basically interstate questions and therefore they ARE federal."
