EDITORS NOTE FOR NOV 11 2008

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I HAVE OVER THE PAST YEAR WORKED AT GETTING LEGISLATION PAST IN THE FEDERAL LINE TO CEASE PAYING PENSIONS TO THOSE "CONVICTED FELONS". THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THEM. ROSTENKOWSKI, CUNNINGHAM, JUDGE HASTINGS (NOW DRAWING A JUDGES RETIREMENT THO HE IS NOW IN CONGRESS) AND THERE ARE OTHERS.

THE IRONY OF THIS EFFORT IS THIS. I PURSUED CLOSURE TO THE PROBLEM BY WRITING AND HOUNDING MY SENATOR TED STEVENS OF ALASKA. I FELT THAT I HAD A CHAMPION IN MR. STEVENS, AS HE FAITHFULLY ANSWERED MY QUERIES AS TO THE STATUS OF THE BILL GOING THROUGH CONGRESS AND SENATE.

ON FEBRUARY 11 2008, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MR.STEVENS ADVISING ME THAT THE CONGRESSIONAL PENSION ACCOUNTABILITY ACT IS TITLE IV OF S.1. THIS LEGISLATION APPLIES TO LAWMAKERS CONVICTED OF A CRIME AFTER THE BILL BECAME LAW. ARTICLE I. SECTION 0 OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION PROHIBITS "ex post facto" LAWS, THEREFORE, THIS LAW DOES NOT APPLY PUNISHMENT RETROACTIVELY.

I MENTION IRONY IN THIS CASE FOR AS I WAS COMMUNICATING WITH THIS SENATOR OF MINE, THIS WEASEL WAS IN THE THROES OF CRIMES AT THE VERY TIME HE WAS SUPPOSEDLY PUTTING A STOP TO THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ($126,000. PER YEAR TO ROSTENKOWSKI) ANNUALLY. HE WAS CONVICTED IN FEDERAL COURT OF SEVEN FELONY COUNTS. OF COURSE AS ANY MISCREANT THE DENIALS WILL LAST FOR EVER. THE FACTS REMAIN HE WAS CONVICTED.

THE BITTER PART OF THIS IS THAT THE SLIMES IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST HAVE A LAW TO BREAK AND APPARENTLY BE SPECIFIC AS TO THE TYPE OF CRIME BEING BROKEN BEFORE THERE CAN BE THE TYPE OF PUNISHMENT METED TO THEM IN WITH THE VALUE OF OR WORTH OF THE CRIME. THUS IF ONE TAKES MONEY OR FAVOR FOR MISGUIDED DEED AND IS CONVICTED ME/SHE/IT MAY GO TO JAIL BUT THE GAIN (MONEY OR FAVOR) REMAINS WITH THEM.

THIS A TRAVESTY THAT CAN BE HANDLED, AS I SEE IT, VERY QUICKLY. IT IS CALLED 'ANSWER TO YOUR OATH'. MOST OF US IN OUR WORKING LIFETIME HAVE HAD TO ANSWER
OR FACE THAT 'ANSWER TO YOUR OATH' AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.

MOST OATHS PROCLAIM THAT THE MAKER OF THE OATH WILL OBEY THE STRUCTURE (LAWS OF, CONSTITUTION OF, OR OTHER MANIFESTO OF) MAKING UP THE STANDARD BY WHICH ALL EMPLOYEES
FUNCTION. THIS IS CALLED 'STANDARD OF ETHICS' FOR THOSE NEEDING HELP.

WITH THIS IN MIND THEN THE FOLLOWING WOULD BE TRUE. BE CONVICTED OF A CRIME(CURRENTLY OKAY TO TAKE GIFTS OR MONEY) AND GET A LITTLE JAIL TIME BUT, BUT, BUT, YOU STILL GET TO KEEP YOUR MILLION DOLLAR PENSION. REMEMBER THAT JAIL TIME FOR MOST OF THESE SLIME BAGS IS LESS THAT 36 MONTHS. EVEN I CAN DO THAT STANDING ON MY HEAD.
