Thank you to all those who supported me.

I want to thank all of you who supported me in this election. And even those who did not but at least took the time to listen. I will be running again in two years for sure, I may be moving so my district may change, but I will continue to spread the message of freedom. The establishment will never be rid of me. As long as I am alive I will be fighting to be a member of our Congress.

Thank you-

Neil Kiernan Stephenson

Thank you to Tom Walker and the Times Herald for “Politics with a Pulse”!

Good turnout and good conversation. I was able to get my message out to a lot of people. Thanks again to the Times Herald and Tom Walker for hosting this event.

The second Candidate is Robert Denison from the Democratic party.

Finally Neil speaks for the Libertarian party.

Neil gets to debate in Port Huron on the 20th!

I will be at Voter Polooza tomorow, on the 20th. From 2pm to 5pm. The event is hosted by Blue November. You can get details on their website, http://bluenovember.org/display.php?id=25. It looks like Candice Miller is going to chicken out. I am not too surprised given her recent voting record. However the Democratic party’s candidate Robert Denison, and the Green Party’s candidate Candice Levey will be in attendance. I am looking forward to it. I am hoping to get video of the event to show on youtube.

Candice Miller’s voting record.

I would comment on Candice Miller’s commitment to uphold our constitution.
Candice Miller voted in the following ways that are not in the spirit or the letter of the Constitution of the United States:

Voted in favor of S 1927
This amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 passed 227-183 on August 4. The bill gives U.S. spy agencies expanded power to eavesdrop on foreign suspects without a court order. The existing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act contained a 30-year-old statute requiring a warrant to monitor calls intercepted in the United States, regardless of their origin. Civil liberties and privacy advocates argue the bill jeopardizes the Fourth Amendment privacy rights and allows for the warrantless monitoring of virtually any form of communication originating in the United States.

Voted in favor of S 3930: Military Commissions Act.
This Act deprives detainees of Habeas Corpus.
Habeas Corpus (Latin: [We command] that you have the body)
[1] is the name of a legal action, or writ, through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention of himself or another person. The writ of habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action.

Voted in favor of H R 5825: Electronic Surveillance Modernization Act.
This bill would endorse President Bush’s ongoing warrantless electronic surveillance of suspected terrorist communications and allow, but not require, the administration to submit the program to a secret national security court for review.
According to The Washington Post, the president has always argued he has the power as Commander in Chief, under the Constitution, to run the warrantless wiretapping program but sought to work out a deal whereby Congress would vote to endorse it. Some members of Congress and civil libertarians argue that the president’s actions with regard to warrantless wiretapping have been illegal and unconstitutional — and argue Congress should not to vote to support him.

Voted against an amendment to H R 2862:
This vote temporarily stopped federal law enforcement officials from being able to easily seize library and bookstore records. The authority to get the records without a traditional warrant was one of the provisions of the original 2001 Patriot Act. President Bush opposed any curtailing of federal law enforcement authority and threatened to veto any bill with this amendment attached.
The amendment said that, going forward, authorities would have to get a search warrant from a judge or grand jury instead of relying on approval from the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act Court, which has a lower threshold of proof. The Justice Department argued it had used this authority wisely and very selectively since it was extended in the original Patriot Act law. A coalition of liberals, conservatives and libertarians (including many Republicans), rejected the Bush administration’s arguments. They asserted the authority was a threat to the privacy of law-abiding citizens and voted to revoke it.

A note on the Iraq war and the war in Afghanistan:
Neither the Iraq war or the war in Afghanistan follow the Constitution’s guidelines for war. Candice Miller has voted against any measure that would allow for a timetable for withdrawal. And has consistently voted to continue the war, despite it’s unconstitutionality.

Neil is going to be on Liberty cap talk live.

WEBSITE NOTE! Additional content added to the issues.

I added video links to the various issues in my campaign to better express my opinions on those issues. Please take a look and comment on them.

Support Dennis Kucinich’s efforts to impeach Bush and Cheney!

I got this email from Congressmen Dennis Kucinich today, I would suggest to you to call Candice Miller and ask her to support this, but her habit of being a rubber stamp for the Bush administration gives me a feeling she will never ask for justice in this matter. Please support Congressmen Kucinich’s efforts. And if I am elected, you know I will do everything in my power to help him and other Congressmen in holding our government accountable when it lies to our people, and costs us countless innocent lives. I have a video link here. Dennis Kucinich talks about impeachment.

September 10th: The day before our world changed,
a day to change the world!

Dear Friends,

On August 1st, I delivered to Speaker Nancy Pelosi; a petition bearing the names of over 100,000 Americans that, like us, feel that the President must be held accountable for abusing executive power and disregarding his Constitutional obligations.

Your voices have been heard and your support continues to send a powerful message to lawmakers. That is why I call on you again to help us in a new effort to deliver 1 Million signatures to Speaker Pelosi on September 10, 2008.

Together we can:

  • Urge real Congressional action to hold President Bush accountable now
  • Reinstate the authority of our Constitution
  • Document crimes committed by President Bush for historical account
  • Facilitate post-Administration law enforcement and prosecution
  • Reset the standard for the incoming and future administrations
  • Demand justice for the over 3,000 who died on 9/11and whose deaths were tragically exploited to take us into an illegal war in Iraq
  • Demand justice for the estimated 30,324 U.S. military personnel who have been injured/wounded
  • Demand justice for the estimated 4,138 U.S. military personnel who have been killed or died
  • Demand justice for the 1 Million innocent Iraqis who have died*
  • Avert another illegitimate looming war – this time against Iran

We need your active participation to deliver 1 Million signatures to Congress by September 10, 2008.

Please give at least ten of your friends the opportunity to stand up for our country - the way you and I have, by inviting them to sign the impeachment petition online at www.Kucinich.us.

Together we can make September 10, the day before the world changed, a day we change the world!

Thank you for your active and ongoing citizenship.

Dennis Kucinich

Justice!

After you have invited at least ten of your friends and family to sign the petition, consider sending your own member of Congress a personal letter urging him or her to support:

  • House Resolution 1258: President Bush
  • House Resolution 333: Vice-President Cheney.

Truth!

*Lancet reported 650,000 war-related Iraqi civilian deaths as of October, 2006. Nearly two years later, a reasonable projection of the conservative Lancet estimate would place war-related Iraqi civilian deaths at least 1 million.
