that Mexico has been invading and occupying (mostly) the US Southwest and
the "Imperial" US-NAFTA-NATO-UN-IMF-NWO government is promoting this,
and whether it might be possible to salvage or rescue a portion of Northern California.

At first I was naive enough to think it would be
a simple matter to draw the line about the 35th parallel
which would preserve the central valley of California
and build something like the
"Great Wall of China" or the "Maginot Line"
across the mountains north of Los Angeles...

...like someone being informed that they have cancer of the big toe
and says, "sure, Doc, chop her off - whatever it takes"
and the finds out the cancer has spread throughout the body...

just about every US state now has lots of illegal immigrants,
Red Chinese nationals have been infiltrating across the Canadian border,
and our "Commander in Chief" is busy protecting the Middle East from Iraq...
(to be continued...)
 

Incidentally, despite all this business about 'free speech'
unless you personally OWN your own internet service provider
any web site can be shut down or have anything deleted at any time.
The fine print of my ISP's contract for my web site states:

2.2. EarthLink reserves the right, without any obligation to do so, to: (i) review any material stored in your Web Space including, without limitation, any and all files to which other users have access and (ii) edit or remove any material that it believes may be unlawful, or that which is not in compliance with the standards set forth herein.

Since this is totally arbitrary - it would tend to inhibit the
posting of anything which seemed marginally questionable.

So we do all have a Constitutional right to free speech
as long as it does not disturb the neighbors or anyone
that might complain to the Internet Service Provider.

"Free Speech" is useful in a dictatorship to keep track of those to pick up later. After all, talk is just talk unless it is inciting a riot or organizing an armed insurrection or embarrassing to the dictator. - Baron Von Bärim-Holz

Likewise, we have the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms
as long as we keep them locked up away from children
and don't try to 'bear' them without a concealed carry permit
or a hunting license in specific seasons and places.
 

a. are any congressional representatives influenced by letters, faxes or emails?
or can they only be influenced by thousands of dollars of  'donations'?

b. if congress only represents paid interests then is it cheaper
to buy them off or to raise the money to buy a replacement?

c. is it cost effective to bribe congress-persons?
For example: if you bribed congress to lower taxes
how many years would it take to have a net (bribe + tax) cost
lower than the current projected rates adjusted for inflation.
But then, like a protection racket, you would have to
keep on paying every year to new representatives.

No, this does not seem like a very promising solution.
It seems like there must be really 'big money' involved
like for example paying a $500,000 campaign contribution
to receive a $10,000,000 government contract.
Or investing $2,000,000 in campaign contributions
to receive highest-tech classified military satellite technology
for which taxpayers have invested billions of dollars.
There has to be a real return on investment within
the term of office of the politician.

Can ordinary tax-paying citizens afford
to pay more to bribe congress with contributions
when they are already tax slaves for 50% of their income.

Well, if somebody already worth some millions
only had to put out one million dollars
to get a tax loophole next year that would
save several million over a few years
then that would make sense.

d. does it make any difference at all if the Supreme Court and Federal Judges
decide they do not like the laws that you have bribed congress to pass?

e. if the entire economy is destroyed by high taxes and "free trade"
and there is no more working class to pay taxes then won't the
government collapse anyway, to be replaced by some other sort
of dictatorship besides the one we have now?

x. to be continued...
