The U.S. Senate houses much of the nation's political "aristocracy." Senators have great power and visibility, much more concentrated than in the House of Representatives, where members represent less than a quarter of the people that a Senator does. The Senate also confirms key judicial positions, treaties, makes laws with the House and can even remove a President after the House impeaches one.
The Senate has been mostly under control of the Democrats since WWII. The Democrat supermajority over several years enabled them to ram through Obamacare and much else very damaging legislation and appointments, including Sotomayer, Kagan, Geithner and more, although RINO's assisted with that.
The 2010 election greatly reduced that Democrat majority, which may be eliminated, if the oposition plays its cards right in 2012. However, it would be a very hollow victory if RINO's are put in place of Democrats.
Although this forum discussion is for the California race, key strategic races in other states are equally important and more likely to be won by candidates with priorities closer to Tea party interests.

Jim DeMint's PAC to help elect true Conservative Senators. Please consider supporting this.
http://senateconservatives.com/
Dear Fellow Conservative: ![]() Thanks to the support of thousands of Redstate readers Americans like you, the Senate Conservatives Fund was the #1 leadership PAC in the 2010 elections, raising more than $9.2 million to help elect conservative candidates to the U.S. Senate. We took a stand against the bailouts, the takeovers, and the big-government power grabs. We fought the deeply-entrenched Washington establishment and helped conservatives win races the Beltway elites said we never could. During those tumultuous times, there was a lot going on behind the scenes that I was not able to share. Now, looking ahead to the 2012 election, I feel that I must. The Great American Awakening: Two years that changed America, Washington, and me is a detailed account of how Americans like you inspired me to keep fighting even when it seemed like conservatives would never make a comeback. In the book, I explain why I feel more motivated than ever to keep pushing for conservative victory today. Donate $20 and Get Jim DeMint's New Book After Republicans were routed in the 2006 election, I tried to convince my Senate colleagues to make changes to ensure fiscal responsibility within the party. They didn't listen. I tried again in 2008, after Republicans lost even more seats and Barack Obama was elected President. One high-ranking official bluntly told me, "Jim, you can't change the Senate." That was one of the lowest points of my political career. I was demoralized and felt utterly alone. But, I wasn't. I soon found out there were millions of Americans who were fed up and frustrated with Washington just like me. So, I decided to change the Senate by working with you to change the people we send to the Senate. If we had not gotten involved in the Republican primary process last year, we'd have Senator Charlie Crist from Florida instead of Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Arlen Specter from Pennsylvania instead of Senator Pat Toomey, and Senator Bob Bennett from Utah instead of Senator Mike Lee. We even have a Tea Party Caucus in the Senate now, led by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul! Of course, there's much more to the story than that. In my new book, The Great American Awakening, I chronicle the two years from the 2008 presidential election through the midterms of 2010 from my perspective as an outsider working inside Washington. Donate $20 and Get Jim DeMint's New Book During that time, it felt like I was living in two different worlds. In Washington, trillion-dollar bills whizzed through the House and Senate and to the president's desk with little consideration or concern. But outside Washington people were taking to the streets to protest. Patriotic Americans who adopted the cause of freedom were demonized by the media and the Democrat machine, but you never backed down. And, every day I am thankful you didn't.
I really want you to read The Great American Awakening and to help us keep fighting to elect even more principled leaders to the Senate in 2012. In fact, I will send you a copy of my new book before it's scheduled to hit bookstores on July 4 if you make a contribution of $20 or more to the Senate Conservatives Fund today. And when you support the Senate Conservatives Fund, you can rest easy knowing that your money will not be used to help elect wishy-washy Republicans. The Senate Conservatives Fund does not support liberal Republicans and it does not support incumbent Republicans. We only back new leaders who are willing to stand up to the big spenders in both political parties. Help SCF Elect True Conservatives To get our endorsement and support, candidates must pledge to fight for the principles of limited government, a strong national defense, and traditional family values. Our candidates must fully support our mission to:
The 2012 elections could be our last chance to save our country from financial collapse. We must elect new leaders to the Senate who will stop massive spending and debt before it's too late. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, ![]() Jim DeMint United States Senator Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund P.S. Please make a contribution of $20 or more to the Senate Conservatives Fund and I will send you an advance copy of my new book, The Great American Awakening. |

This guy is a very destructive RINO, who has backed a lot of appointments and bills contrary to our interests. For example, do you like Kagan and Sotomayer in SCOTUS? Well, if it was not for Graham, they would not be there!
Even if you don't live in SC, you can help get him out via political contributions, blogging, calling. His term expires next year. The place to get him is in the primary. If Jim DeMint backs someone else in the primary. contribute to the Senate Conservatives Fund to help us be rid of Graham.

CCIR Proudly Presents.....
Two Senatorial Candidates Robert Lauten and Orly Taitz
Robert Lauten, a committed American activist who is not a "Party" animal, but a "Patriot" animal who works tirelessly on issues and/or on behalf of candidates who uphold our Constitutional rights.
He was a registered Republican for most of his 66 years, in the early 1990's (in order to learn more about the Democratic Party), he served one year as a member of the Democratic Central Commitee. He left in disgust and registered with the American Independent Party (AIP).
In an effort to get GOP Rep. David Dreier to enforce our Immigration laws, he worked on Dem. Cynthia Matthew's "Fire Dreier" campaign (spearheaded by KFI John & Ken show).
Although she did not win, Dreier "got the message" and now supports more immigration laws.
In 2008, he was the only AIP candidate in CA running for Congress. In 2010, he was the AIP candidate for CA State Treasurer. In 2011, he re-registered Republican and is now running for the U.S. Senate as the only candidate to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act (H.R. 1489) which would have prevented the "housing collapse" nationwide and will protect homeowners in the future from this disaster recurring, their homes foreclosed, and many now homeless. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orly Taitz, a dedicated American patriot, born and raised in the Communist Soviet Union, is a candidate who knows first hand the bleakness of the totalitarian regime and deprivation that we would experience should we lose our Constitutional rights.
She holds two doctorate degrees - Doctor of Dental Surgery and Doctor of Jurisprudence - and she is president of Defend Our Freedoms Foundation and editor of her own blog, OrlyTaitzEsq.com, where she writes prolifically on the issues of Constitutional law, politics, economy, and Constitutional education of our youth.
When Mr. Obama became the U.S. President, she became deeply concerned by the fact that he refused to present any of his original vital records (including proof he was a natural born U.S. citizen - as required by our Constitution), his use of social security numbers of deceased individuals, etc.
She embarked on a pro bono (her personal expense) mission to bring this to light and have it heard on its merits. [Re the recent hearing on this issue, the Judge's ruling will be discussed at the meeting].
Mark your calendar, plan to attend this exciting meeting! Meet and greet not only one, but two courageous candidates challenging the anti-American "bought & paid for" U.S. Senator DIANE FEINSTEIN ....

“consequently, that the ultimate right of the parties to the Constitution (i.e. the States), to judge whether the compact has been dangerously violated, must extend to violations by one delegated authority as well as by another--by the judiciary as well as by the executive, or the legislature.” Virginia Assembly Report 1800, James Madison.
If a nation can't define its boundaries, who comes in and on what terms, then it can't sustain itself culturally, financially, politically, morally and with security. It's not a nation.- G. Miller

A federal government which does not derive its lawful and limited authority from the Constitution of the United States is by definition an occupation government and criminal regime. It’s authority is null and void and no one is bound by any rule of law to obey it. --Donald L. Cline

"There are 27 amendments in the Constitution but only one says 'shall not be infringed,'" Steve Toth said. "The Second Amendment is the amendment that keeps the people free."
“The States then being the parties to the constitutional compact, and in their sovereign capacity, it follows of necessity, that there can be no tribunal above their authority, to decide in the last resort, whether the compact made by them be violated; and consequently that as the parties to it, they must themselves decide in the last resort, such questions as may be of sufficient magnitude to require their interposition.” – James Madison
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." - Niccolo Machiavelli

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."
This country does not need to have a conversation about how many bullets should go in a clip. It does need to have a conversation about how many parents should go in a family. It needs to talk about the ghettos of Obamerica and have a serious conversation about broken families and generational dependency. It needs to have a conversation about funneling new immigrants from broken parts of the world into areas already suffering from high levels of unemployment and street violence.- Daniel Greenfield

“Disarmament of the populace is always the first step to depriving them of their civil rights and human rights…many African-Americans and women are actively assaulting the very document that first secured their own freedom... if you do not believe in the Bill of Rights, then you are not, at heart, an American.” – Mike Adams
Only in America could liberals talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate campaign fund raising event.
We need to demythologize guns before the liberal attempt to create a totemic fear of them succeeds. If the gun control mentality promoting fear of guns themselves becomes our national mentality, we would turn the clock back to the days when a warrior class ruled over the people because only they had the confidence and expertise to deploy the means of defense and coercion. The gun control agenda will turn us into a people too timid to defend themselves from our would-be masters. – Alan Keyes
So now that there is a new tragedy the president wants to have a “national conversation on guns”. Here’s the thing. Until this national conversation is willing to entertain allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons, then it isn’t a conversation at all, it is a lecture. – Larry Correia'

Lets see if I have this straight...Former President Bill Clinton ... who lied to his own wife... was convicted of perjury ... disbarred from practicing law in his home state... an admitted philanderer ... who "Never had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" ... Impeached by the US House of Representatives ... is giving testimonials for Barrack Obama's character and intentions!!!??? Is this a great country or what!?

How can we stand up to someone that creates a 100 dollar Federal Reserve (FR) note for 2 cents and uses the face value of the note of 100 dollars to buy a 100 dollar U.S. Security where the government has to pay them 4% in interest at the end of the year? A yearly cost of 4 FR notes where it only cost the FR 2 cents to print.
This is the biggest Conspiracy you may ever encounter and this started sometime around 1913. Yes, your parents and their parents had so much of their time stolen from them at a cost of 2 pennies. And the National Debt is one big fraud. And this is not just in the United States but the whole world.- Steven Pattison

"If you've got a business -- you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen”- Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro
“Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through the process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance. It is thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.”
- President American Bankers Association, 1924
"I think it is wonderful that Eric holder is making sure that Mexicans' second amendment rights are preserved!" - Bobby Florenz
“My father was a hardcore conservative and a straight line Republican voter before he died. Now he votes Democrat.” (-Unknown)
Today, President Obama is calling for the same with the Buffett Rule.' Obama is under the mistaken impression that America's symbol is the bald ego." --The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto
‘In years to come there is going to be information that will come out that Obama was not the man who made the call. He can say he did and the people who really know what happened are inside the Pentagon, are in the military and the military isn’t allowed to speak out against the commander- in-chief so his secret is safe.’—Chris Kyle, former SEAL sniper
Remember just a few years ago when...
...the official unemployed was at 8.4 million instead of 12.4 million?

...food Stamp Recipients was at 29 million instead of 46 million?
...U.S. Astronauts didn't have to travel with Russians to go into space?

Rep. Randy Neugebauer put the burden into perspective: “It will take over 24 million man hours to comply with Dodd-Frank rules per year. It took only 20 million to build the Panama Canal.”
"Sixty-one percent of debt issued by the Treasury is bought by the Federal Reserve -- which is to say the left hand of the U.S. Government is lending money to the right hand of the US Government. ... Nonetheless, in a land where every mewling babe in the American nursery is born with a debt burden of just under $200,000, the president brags that only his party is 'compassionate' to have no plan whatsoever even to attempt to do anything about this, no way, no how, not now, not ever." --columnist Mark Steyn
Isn't it amazing how every facet of Sergeant Bales life, high school, college, employment, why he left his employment, his brother’s employment, his wife’s employment, real estate holdings, a missed house payment , a missed promotion etc., is exposed within a week and the same fact finders can't find comparable info on the most powerful man in the world in three plus years ?

"The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and for people, equally in war and peace, and it covers with its shield of protection all classes of men, at all times and under all circumstances. No doctrine involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of men that any of its great provisions can be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government."
– Ex Parte Milligan (1866)
Permit me to hint whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of foreigners into the administration of our national government ; and to declare expressly that the command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on any but a natural born citizen.
