US can’t afford Global Poverty Act Obama wants change. Obama wants to eradicate poverty. Obama wants American citizens to pay for this! Obama has sponsored the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which could eventually force American taxpayers to fork over 0.7 percent of our nation's gross domestic product or $845 billion over 13 years over and above what America already spends on third world countries. In 2006, foreign aid programs cost American taxpayers about $300 billion. This plan has already passed the House of Representatives because most members did not know what was in it. (Isn't that great?) This is a blueprint for a world government owned and operated by the United Nations. Please tell the senators to kill this un-American bill. ***********dailyherald****/story/...

political mafia of Illinois now plans to move the Chicago brand of corruption to Washington in a U-Haul hooked up to their second choice candidate. Americans will never allow it to happen. They will either vote for McCain or not at all. If Obama becomes the nominee, the Republicans will unleash a non-stop expose of Obama in the mainstream media that will make the swift boat attacks against John Kerry seem trivial. Only this time, they won't have to make lies because the truth will be on their side. The tracking of the subplots that developed as a result of the Board Games investigation, has revealed a spider-web of corruption that spread from the Chicago Loop to O'Hare Airport to the Illinois Tollway, all the way to bid-rigging in Iraq, with Iraqi-born billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, owner of General Mediterranean Holdings, a Luxemburg-based conglomerate with investments all over the world in everything from defense contractors to pharmaceuticals, at the center of many sch

A trial exhibit produced by an FBI agent, identifies major contributors who donated $1.43 million to Blagojevich between 2001 and 2004. The Chicago Sun-Times compared the exhibit to government campaign records on Obama and found he received more than $220,000 from many of the same donors between 2001 and 2004. John Roger, the head of Ariel Capital, an investment firm that ended up with major money from the pension funds, is on the FBIâ??s summary of Blagojevichâ??s top contributors. He also gave Obama $25,000. Rogers is a member of the finance committee for Obamaâ??s presidential campaign. Rogers also served on the campaign finance committee for Obamaâ??s US Senate run with Tony and Rita Rezko, Allison Davis, and Myron â??Mikeâ?? Cherry.... On April 22, 2007, the Tribune noted that City Hall records show Michelle Obama began work as a $60,000-a-year mayoral assistant to Richard Daley in September of 1991.

Syrian-born influence peddler, Antoin â??Tonyâ?? Rezko. They also give the details of Obamaâ??s involvement in a slumlord business largely operating out of the Chicago-based Davis, Miner & Barnhill law firm, which hired Obama in 1993, with his boss, Allison Davis, reaping in the profits with Rezkoâ??s development company, Rezmar. The â??Board Games For Slumlordâ?? article gives in-depth details of the federal investigation along with the names of people who are listed as â??Co-Schemersâ?? and â??Individualsâ?? in the indictments issued thus far. Therefore for the most part, this article will refer to all the scams collectively as what prosecutors refer to as â??pay-to-playâ?? schemes... Campaign finance laws in Illinois have aided and abetted influence peddling schemes for years because they allow donors to give as much as they like to candidates running for state office, so the skyâ??s the limit.... A trial exhibit produced by an FBI agent,
