PENNSYLVANIA REGISTRATIONS GAIN
Molly O’Leary, Chief of the Pennsylvania Voter Registration Division, has ruled that the state will tally voters who are registered in the Constitution, Green and Libertarian Parties. This is the first time Pennsylvania has ever performed this service for a group that does not meet the definition of "political party".
Those three parties lost their "party" status in November 2006, when they each failed to poll a number of votes equal to 2% of the highest vote-getter’s vote total. Those three parties were kept off the 2006 ballot for statewide office, so they obviously couldn’t meet the vote test.
The Pennsylvania policy is also followed by Alaska, California, Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma (in very limited circumstances), South Dakota, and Utah. All political parties benefit from having access to such lists.

Responsibility, Accountability, and Culpability
Do these apply to Public Officers in their individual and personal
capacity?
Yes. If they have established or enforced powers not specifically
granted to them through the Constitutions. They are then acting in
their individual and personal capacity, [not] their Official capacity.
For example, could the Supreme Court Justice Kennedy rob a Bank and
claim Official Immunity? Of course not! That would place him above
the Law. Judges tell us all the time that "no one is above the Law."
Why then do we have the mindset that we must allow the Federal,
State, County, and local Government Officers pass [Acts] which steal
our Private Property from us. We never authorized such an atrocious
thing!
Congress passing the 16th Amwndment was gross usurpation and abuse
of undelegated power. They had no such authority. The Federal
Government was created and controles by the will of the people
expressed in the Constitution. Their powers wer delegated in Article
1, Section 8. Congress has only 20 powers. The Judiciary has 11. The
President (Executive)has only six.
What has happened to we the people? Have we lost our way? Will we
rise up and restore Constitutional Order? Or will we, "AGAIN,"
BECOME "SLAVES" to our own ignorance?

Don’t miss Alan’s announcement on April 15 in Hazleton, PA!
Alan has chosen April 15 to make a major announcement about his intentions, and his reasons for them, in this year’s U.S. presidential race — a highly irregular, undemocratic, media-controlled electoral process that appears aimed at giving voters little or no say about who ultimately governs them.
For an inkling of what Alan is planning, see the deceased pachyderm at the bottom of AlanKeyes.com.
Alan’s announcement will take place in a press conference that will be streamed live at AlanKeyes.com from the Best Western hotel in Hazleton, PA, Tuesday evening, April 15. The exact time is still pending.

How will a Bob Barr candidacy effect the CP race?
LIBERTARIANS.
Former GOP Congressman Bob Barr of Georgia has apparently decided to seek the Libertarian Party's Presidential nomination. Despite reports to the contrary that Barr plans to run as an Independent, he will announce his plans this weekend in a keynote address at a regional Libertarian Party convention. "I am planning to address the delegates and I will say I am not planning on wasting their time. I am planning to have something fairly significant to say," Barr told CNN. "Sure, it will hurt [McCain]. We’ll just have to see how much," South Carolina GOP Chair Katon Dawson told the Washington Times. Michigan GOP Chair Saul Anuzis said he expects Barr will do well in conservative states like Texas, where he said McCain should win by a comfortable margin despite his presence on the ballot. "But how he will do in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, the five key swing states -- that’s the question," said Anuzis.

NY Times Poll Confirms Record Dissatisfaction Among Americans!
The 2008 election will present an historic
opportunity for the Constitution Party!
April 4, 2008
81% in Poll Say Nation Is Headed on the Wrong Track
By DAVID LEONHARDT and MARJORIE CONNELLY
Americans are more dissatisfied with the country's direction than at any time since the New York Times/CBS News poll began asking about the subject in the early 1990s, according to the latest poll.
In the poll, 81 percent of respondents said they believed "things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track," up from 69 percent a year ago and 35 percent in early 2002.
Although the public mood has been darkening since the early days of the war in Iraq, it has taken a new turn for the worse in the last few months, as the economy has seemed to slip into recession. There is now nearly a national consensus that the country faces significant problems.
A majority of nearly every demographic and political group — Democrats and Republicans, men and women, residents of cities and rural areas, college graduates and those who finished only high school — say the United States is headed in the wrong direction. Seventy-eight percent of respondents said the country was worse off than five years ago; just 4 percent said it was better off.
The dissatisfaction is especially striking because public opinion usually hits its low point only in the months and years after an economic downturn, not at the beginning of one. Today, however, Americans report being deeply worried about the country even though many say their own personal finances are still in fairly good shape.
Only 21 percent of respondents said the overall economy was in good condition, the lowest such number since late 1992, when the recession that began in the summer of 1990 had already been over for more than a year. In the latest poll, two in three people said they believed the economy was in recession today.
The unhappiness presents clear risks for Republicans in this year's elections, given the continued unpopularity of President Bush. Twenty-eight percent of respondents said they approved of the job he was doing, a number that has barely changed since last summer. But Democrats, who have controlled the House and Senate since last year, also face the risk that unhappy voters will punish Congressional incumbents.
Mr. Bush and leaders of both parties on Capitol Hill have moved in recent weeks to react to the economic slowdown, first by passing a stimulus bill that will send checks of up to $1,200 to many couples this spring. They are now negotiating over proposals to overhaul financial regulations, blunt the effects of a likely wave of home foreclosures and otherwise respond to the real estate slump and related crisis on Wall Street.
The poll found that Americans blame government officials for the crisis more than banks or home buyers and other borrowers. Forty percent of respondents said regulators were mostly to blame, while 28 percent named lenders and 14 percent named borrowers.
In assessing possible responses to the mortgage crisis, Americans displayed a populist streak, favoring help for individuals but not for financial institutions. A clear majority said they did not want the government to lend a hand to banks, even if the measures would help limit the depth of a recession.
"What I learned from economics is that the market is not always going to be a happy place," Sandi Heller, who works at the University of Colorado and is also studying for a master's degree in business there, said in a follow-up interview. If the government steps in to help out, said Ms. Heller, 43, it could encourage banks to take more foolish risks.
"There are a million and one better ways for the government to spend that money," she said.
Respondents were considerably more open to government help for home owners at risk of foreclosure. Fifty-three percent said they believed the government should help those whose interest rates were rising, while 41 percent said they opposed such a move.
The nationwide telephone survey of 1,368 adults was conducted from March 28 to April 2. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.
When the presidential campaign began last year, the war in Iraq and terrorism easily topped Americans' list of concerns. Almost 30 percent of people in a December poll said that one of those issues was the country's most pressing problem. About half as many named the economy or jobs.
But the issues have switched places in just a few months' time. In the latest poll, 17 percent named terrorism or the war, while 37 percent named the economy or the job market. When looking at the current state of their own finances, Americans remain relatively sanguine. More than 70 percent said their financial situation was fairly good or very good, a number that has dropped only modestly since 2006.
Yet many say they are merely managing to stay in place, rather than get ahead. This view is consistent with the income statistics of the past five years, which suggest that median household income has still not returned to the inflation-adjusted peak it hit in 1999. Since the Census Bureau began keeping records in the 1960s, there has never been an extended economic expansion that ended without setting a new record for household income.
Economists cite a variety of factors for the sluggish income growth, including technology and globalization, and it clearly seems to have made Americans anxious about the future. Fewer than half of parents — 46 percent — said they expected their children to enjoy a better standard of living than they themselves do, down from 56 percent in 2005.
Respondents were more pessimistic when asked in general terms about the next generation, with only a third saying it would live better than people do today. (Polls usually find people more upbeat about their personal situation than about the state of society, but the gap is now larger than usual.)
Charles Parrish, a 56-year-old retired fireman in Evans, Ga., who now works a maintenance job for the local school system, said he was worried the country was not preparing children for the high-technology economy of the future. Instead, the government passed a stimulus package that simply sends checks to taxpayers and worsens the deficit in the process.
"Who's going to pay back the money?" Mr. Parrish, an independent, said. "We are. They are giving me money, except I'm going to have to pay interest on it."
Democrats have asserted recently that the lack of wage growth has made people more open to government intervention in the economy than in the past, and the poll found mixed results on this score.
Fifty-eight percent of respondents said they would support raising taxes on households making more than $250,000 to pay for tax cuts or government programs for people making less than that amount. Only 38 percent called it a bad idea. Both Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidates, have made proposals along these lines.
More broadly, 43 percent of those surveyed said they would prefer a larger government that provided more services, which is tied for the highest such number since The Times and CBS News began asking the question in 1991. But an identical 43 percent said they wanted a smaller government that provided fewer services.
And although both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama have blamed trade with other countries for some of the economy's problems, Americans say they continue to favor trade — if not quite as strongly as in the past. Fifty-eight percent called it good for the economy; 32 percent called it bad, up from 17 percent in 1996.
At the same time, 68 percent said they favored trade restrictions to protect domestic industries, instead of allowing unrestrained trade. In early 1996, 55 percent favored such restrictions.
