The "Obama Euphoria Ends" public debate rages on and now one of the main reasons for President Barack Obama to possibly fail has been brought to light.

Obama has sealed his records, transcripts and other documentation, which makes him appear to be guilty.

========

My article is becoming news, due to the following e-mail excerpts :  > > > >

*(Note: This entry is long and I may have to edit onto a continuation post entry).

Instead of trying to attack me personally for raising real questions, you should be working very hard to produce an actual documented 'FORM', which proves that Obama has accomplished anything that is being said about him.

Help each other out on this task, because I doubt it is even remotely possible to find such documentation.

It has been mentioned about Obama's wonderful education, but no one on Volconvo has ever seen this type of 'form' evidence, or how about the reason for Obama making his records/transcripts private ---

When Obama promised 'transparency'?

What does Obama intend to hide, that he doesn't wish the Republicans or us to find out???

If not a documented form, then why not an official explanation regarding this mystery?

My feelings cannot be hurt, as long as I am searching for truth in a diligent manner.

When I read this entire debate, I discover the odds are about even to Pro v/s Anti Obama comments, and this is what I am attempting to show you!

Obama's political steam is running out just like these debate entries reflect, and he is loosing ground rapidly.

His liberal base is realizing that something is wrong with their political choice and Campaign 2008 election guilt has finally begun to surface.

Which now a large percentage of voters have become aware that the only reason they voted him into office was to stop McCain/Republicans, and that is not a good enough reason for risking the endangerment of the U.S. Government and its Constitution.

True American patriots are learning to live with this type of shame right now across America today!

Some might say: 'But there was NO other choice' and that 'was' true then (2008), but what about the 2010-2012 election ---

Still No decent choice!

Until the American people legally rise and unite and demand decent candidates to be selected, then there will be nothing more than what we have seen to date ---

This repeating rotten crap-shoot of No Choice elections!!!

And what could Obama really do in his time left in office, 'if' he were intending to 'change' America into something else not accepted as appropriate by the American people???

Good Question!!!

Dear Mr. Robert Watson, PhD,

You have made my day, week, month and year!

Finally someone recognizes exactly what I am attempting to accomplish!

Since I learned of your identity through debate and C2NN news submissions and other C2NN Care2 members, then they would be quite interested in what we are speaking on here.

I would like your permission to present our e-mail conversations in copy form, and turn them into a C2NN news article.

Do not feel pressured in any way, because I leave this totally up to you!

If you permit, then this would add credibility to our debate cause in the public eye, which would also allow Internet search-access to our conversations.

In short, I wish to go public with your viewpoint contained in these e-mails.

I leave this idea up to your discretion.

However in the meantime, here is my latest Volconvo debate entry, and please keep in mind that I am debating on Volconvo with an open invitation.

This means anyone can join this site in order to attempt to sabotage my chosen viewpoint --- it is open to the public, and many dislike the stance I have taken.

http://www.volconvo.com/forums/politics-government/28409-obama-euphoria-ends-7.html#post673340

Here are examples of my C2NN Care2 news submissions, and if you allow me to project our e-mails forward, then I would select a respectable adjoining photo of course.

Also, no doubt I would then take the C2NN submission and further submit its entry onto Volconvo Debate Forums.

"Robert C.W. Ettinger: The Father of Modern Cryonic Human Preservation"

During the early 1960's, Robert C.W. Ettinger authored "The Prospect of Immortality" and ignited a completely new dimension to the term 'clinical death'!

He has said that death can only be defined in relative terms, and he points to the hundreds of persons revived after drowning, asphyxiation, electrocution and heart attacks.

"Biological death depends not only on the state of the body", Ettinger said, "But also on the state of medical art during any given time-period in history!"

Instead of being embalmed, a body should be kept under refrigeration to prevent deterioration --- so there is still a chance!

Death has been known to deceive even the finest doctors time after time!

Change. org Action Alert :

"Give Us Health Care Freedom Now!"

Dear Robert & Melinda,

Never before has your voice on health care been more important.

Senators have just returned to Washington from the holiday weekend to work on legislation that may define our health care system for decades.

Will their plan really fix our broken system, or will it continue to let giant insurance companies price you out of good coverage and deny you insurance simply because of your age or a previous illness?

We need your voice to help advance 'positive' reform.

It's time all Americans had health care freedom: Keep the good insurance you have through your job, or choose decent insurance you can actually afford and doctors who provide quality care.

Enjoy the security of knowing you can't be denied coverage if you change jobs, move or get sick.

*Email your Senators and tell them to fix health care and give all Americans freedom of choice >

http://www.change.org/actions/view/give_us_health_care_freedom

America is about solving problems, and there is a plan on the table to reform health coverage so it is :

Affordable now: Health reform must lower costs, and the insurance industry hasn't done it when left to their own devices.

We need a strong public health insurance option to compete with industry to lower rates and keep them honest, and we need it to start from day one.....

Available everywhere: A public health insurance option available throughout the country to compete with the insurance companies who often control your local market by determining what you pay and what you get.

Held accountable: Tough rules with penalties for waste and abuse that apply to the private companies and the public entity offering insurance, with no favorites.

Before this plan was even debated in Congress, it was already being targeted by partisan politics and big insurance and drug company lobbyists.

Now that debate over reform has intensified, the health care industry is spending $1.4 million per day on lobbyists to ensure industry gets reform that benefits them, not you.

Tell your Senators to work for you, and give heath reform a real chance!

http://www.change.org/actions/view/give_us_health_care_freedom

The more people your Senators hear from, the more we can drown out the health-industry lobbyists who don't have your best interests at heart.

*Please take action, then forward this to friends and family so we fix health care and get real health care freedom.

Thanks for all that you do,

- The Change.org Team in partnership with Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports

Title:  "Climate Emergency: Call the U.S. House Today!"
 
From: Ben Wikler - Avaaz.org
Subject: Climate emergency: call the US House today
Date: Thursday, June 25, 2009 2:35 PM
 
Dear friends,

The vote on the climate change bill is tomorrow--but to spur the world towards a fair global treaty, it needs to be strengthened.

*Call the Capitol Switchboard now, ask for your member of Congress, and urge them to increase funding for climate adaptation now (see below)--the number is :

(202) 224-3121

After you call, click here to share how it went!

In the next 48 hours, the US House will vote on the most significant climate change bill in US history.

The American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACE could prove to the world that we are serious about negotiating a global climate treaty in Copenhagen this December--but only if support is strengthened to help developing countries adapt to climate change the USA helped cause.

A global climate treaty isn't possible without both rich and poor nations signing on.

But without more international adaptation aid in ACES, we risk alienating vulnerable countries--and we might never reach a strong global agreement to solve climate change.

A recent study found that 300,000 people already die every year from climate change, and the health and livelihoods of hundreds of millions more are affected.

1. Yet right now, a woefully inadequate 1% of the bill's potential revenues go to the world’s poor to deal with this devastating hunger, drought, and disease--while U.S. dirty industries like coal will get up to 25%.

Over the last century, the United States has emitted more carbon than all the world's developing countries combined.

2. More funding is needed both for simple fairness--and in order to reach the treaty we all need.

We only have one more day to make a difference by telling decision-makers that Americans put people before profits.

*Call your House Representative right now and say:

The US can't defeat climate change without the rest of the world, and the world can't do it unless we pass strong domestic legislation this year, before December's global negotiations in Copenhagen.

ACES is a start, but it must be strengthened in these last-minute negotiations -- not weakened.

1% for international adaptation is not enough -- ACES must allot the revenue from at least 5% of carbon permits for international funding to help the world's most vulnerable communities adapt to the devastating changes in their climate caused by emissions from the developed world.

To reach a global treaty, we must have the poorest countries on board.

*Call the US House switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your representative

If you get a busy signal, find your representative's direct number here:

http://clerk.house.gov/member_info

*After you call, click below to post a message about who you reached and what they said:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/congress_climate_
calls

The stakes in the climate change fight could not be higher.

By demanding more money for international adaptation, we can bring the voices of the global poor to U.S. decision-makers and raise the chance for a global treaty that will benefit us all.

Please, call Congress today--and forward this email to friends and family to make sure our Representatives hear our message loud and clear!

MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER
6/22/2009

Topic:  ObamaCare - Socialist Health Care Takeover Using the Liberal Media.

=================

"ObamaCare: Prescription for Disaster - Media Research Center (MRC Action Team) :

http://www.obamacaretruth.org/

=================

From the Desk of:
David Martin, Executive Vice President

Robert & Melinda,
 
President Obama is trying to put our nation on the fast track to socialized health care, and on June 24, the ABC network will help him sell this bill of goods to the American people.

Next Wednesday, ABC News will transform the White House into their newsroom for what has been described as an unabashed infomercial promoting the Democrat agenda, more specifically, government-run health care control program.

++ ABC News Emphatically Rejects Opposing Views :

ABC News has abandoned all pretense of journalistic integrity in its bid to be the administration's official salesman for ObamaCare.

ABC flatly rejected Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay's request to add opposition views to ensure all sides of the health care debate were represented in the town hall forum.

Not only that, ABC News Vice President Kerry Smith responded by saying, ABC News alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of President Barack Obama.

As if that wasn't enough, ABC then rejected an ad from a conservative group trying to counter the liberal health care agenda.

They clearly are not interested in a fair and balanced presentation on this subject.

Void of opposing views, this news special becomes nothing more than an extended infomercial designed to scare and manipulate the American people into supporting a trillion-dollar government takeover of the highest quality health care system in the world!

++ Hold ABC News Accountable

Robert & Melinda, health care is an issue of life and death.

If you don't want politicians and faceless bureaucrats making your personal health care decisions for you, which medical procedures you need, which treatments are affordable, which medications you can have,  then stand with us and demand the media present a balanced view on how to reform health care.

*That's why we are asking MRC Action team members to do two things TODAY :

First, take a moment right now to call ABC News executives and demand balance in the health care debate. Ask them why they won't allow the conservative point of view on this show :

*Here is your contact information:

David Westin
President, ABC News
(212) 456-6200

Anne Sweeney
President, ABC-Disney Television Group
(818) 569-7700
anne.sweeney@disney.com

Second, click here to submit questions to be asked at this town hall meeting on Wednesday, the questions that the liberal media aren't asking :
 
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/HealthCare/story?id=7845403

Questions like :

· How much will your plan cost?

· How will it be paid for?

· Can you name one example of the government taking over an industry and the costs falling as a result???

*Click here to hear MRC founder Brent Bozell's exclusive message to the MRC Action team explaining why we all need to act NOW to stop what he calls one of the worst examples I've seen in all my years of observing media bias :

http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=ydaGQuZukU

ObamaCare - MRC News :
http://www.mrc.org/splash/obamaCare.htm

++ Alert your Friends and Family

A firestorm of protest can bring about quick change.

That's why after taking action, we are asking you to forward this update to 25-30 friends and family members.

Let them know what is happening, and how they can play a pivotal role by calling as well.

President Obama has already taken over the banks and General Motors, now he's using ABC television to ram his socialist health care plan down our throats unabated.

Make your calls, and forward this important message today!

Thank you in advance for taking action with the MRC.

David

P.S.: To help you track all the news surrounding ObamaCare and the liberal media slant on health care reform, we created a special website where we will post all the latest news and stories in the coming weeks.

Dear Supporter,

I'm sure you've heard about Troy Anthony  Davis.

I will be in Savannah this weekend and need you to join me in fighting to save Troy's life.

On Saturday, the NAACP will kick off our Week of Witnessing, Prayer and Action with a rally at 10am at the Historic 38th Street Park.  Please, spread the word to your friends, family and colleagues. 

Troy's sister, Martina Correia will be joining me as will Edward DuBose, President of the NAACP Georgia State Conference.

*Click here to sign up to volunteer :

"Strike a Blow for the Freedom of Speech  TODAY!"

From: The Media Research Center
Subject: FCC Hearing Tomorrow. Call the Committee Today!
Date: Monday, June 15, 2009 6:54 PM
 
From the Desk of:
David Martin, Executive Vice President

MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER
6/15/2009

Robert & Melinda,
 
Tomorrow morning, the Media Research Center will be delivering hundreds of thousands of petitions on your behalf to the Senate Commerce Committee prior to their FCC confirmation hearing!

The petitions call on the government to reject any and all efforts to censor, limit, or restrain conservative or Christian talk radio.

As we mentioned earlier, President Obama's pick for FCC Chairmain, Julius Genachowski, is a strong proponent of  diversity in the media code for promoting liberalism and liberal views.

Confirmation of Obama's pick could throw open the door to regulation and control of conservative talk radio!

That is why we are writing you today.

Ahead of our massive petition delivery on the morning of the hearing, we are asking ALL members of the MRC Action team to call each member of the Senate Commerce Committee and urge them to make sure that no FCC nominee will regulate or control radio content.

That means:

… NO to the Fairness Doctrine.

… NO to forced diversity in media ownership.

… NO to serving the government's flawed idea of local or public interest.

Leave radio content alone!! Radio content should be driven by the free market.

Let the consumer decide!

We must have any and all nominees on the record supporting 'Free Speech' in advance of their confirmation, and we are counting on you to help make that happen.

------------------------------------------------------------

++ Call Members of the Senate Commerce Committee Today!

++ Alert Your Friends

After placing your calls, please forward this message to 20-30 friends, urging them to take action with you, first by signing their name to our Free Speech petition and then by making phone calls to members of the Senate Commerce Committee.

These past two weeks have been among the most proactive and exciting in MRC Action team history as we heroically stepped up with petitions, faxes, and phone calls demanding an end to the looming threat against our Free Speech Rights.

Now it's all come down to these confirmation hearings!

Your petitions will be there, now we need tens of thousands of MRC Action team members to strike a blow for Free Speech Rights by calling every member of the Senate Commerce committee and inviting your friends to do the same!

*Petition - MRC Action Team:
http://mrcaction.org/517/petition.asp?CID=517&RID=21220589

Thanks again for your outstanding support of the MRC!

David

P.S: We must impress on every member of that committee the importance of our Free Speech Rights. We need them to ask the tough questions to ensure that our First Amendment Rights are never regulated into silence.

Dear Robert & Melinda,

A few hours ago, I met with Troy Davis on death row.

As you know, he is facing the death penalty in Georgia for killing a police officer -- but since his trial, seven out of nine witnesses have recanted or contradicted their testimony. And with no physical evidence to link him to the crime, it is likely he is innocent.

Besides the fact that Troy is facing execution for a crime that he may not have committed, he also told me that he is being denied the right to speak out on his own behalf despite the fact that others in his position are allowed to do so.

*Please contact Commissioner Brian Owens of the Georgia Department of Corrections to demand that he remove the gag order on Troy Davis:

In my meeting with Troy, I discovered that 60 Minutes, Dateline, and the Associated Press have all been denied media access to Troy.

When Georgia won't let the media talk to the accused man, it is a flagrant abuse of his First Amendment rights.

In fact, the case of Troy Davis highlights how broken our criminal justice system is... and why we must reform it.

Today, more than 60% of the people in prison are people of color. African Americans make up more than 40% of those on death row.

This summer, the NAACP will launch a campaign to reform our country's criminal justice system with the goal of making our communities safer, improving police performance, saving money, and keeping more of our young men and women out of prison.

But Troy can't wait for this summer.

We need your help now!

An innocent man may be executed. You and I must work together to reform our country's criminal justice system, and we must start by saving the life of one man.

Please contact Commissioner Brian Owens of the Georgia Department of Corrections today and demand he give Troy the right to speak.
