What does he think we should do to get a handle on the massive amount of debt we owe to China?
Where would he want to reduce our domestic spending?

Ok….so that was two.
Tell him I said hi.

Maybe you could go around the Senate map for the 2010 elections and get his take on some of the races. In particular relevence to Fred whether he will be endorsing more conservative candidates in primaries like he has done with Hoffman in NY-CD-23 special election.

The search for Pres. Obama’s birth certificate is a red herring to deflect from the true issue regarding Obama’s eligibility for the Office of President. By keeping his records secret, he is deliberately leading the public eye away from the real problem.

To the best of my knowledge, the Constitution only uses the term “natural born citizen” one time, and that’s in the paragraph which describes who’s qualified to be President. Everywhere else in the Constitution, they use the word “citizen”.

Is it safe to assume that our Founding Fathers made that word choice because they intended for the term to have a specific effect?

Since our Founders did not define the term within the Constitution, is it reasonable to assume their word choice was possibly influenced by Vattel’s “The Law of Nations”(1758), which they used as a guide?

In § 212. Citizens and natives, Vattel defines the term. Note that Vattel clearly states that BOTH parents must be American citizens.

“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by
certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in
its advantages. THE NATIVES, OR NATURAL-BORN CITIZENS, ARE THOSE BORN IN THE
COUNTRY, OF PARENTS WHO ARE CITIZENS. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”

Obama’s father was a Kenyan under British jurisidiction at the time of Obama Jr.’s birth. That means Obama has dual citizenship, and on those grounds alone, he is not eligible to be President. Many people assume the 14th amendment changes this. If you read Vattel, you will realize that it does not.

Mr. Thompson, would you consider filing a quo warranto proceeding in a D.C. district court so that we can get a ruling on the meaning of the term “natural-born citizen”?

What does he think we should do about the GOP folding over the healthcare issue?

in regards to Islamic fascism?

Does Fred think that Obama’s appeasement strategy is the way to go?

Before you ban me, please realize that I am not suggesting Obama was born on foreign soil. Where he was born is irrelevant to the legal question, “What is the definition of a natural-born citizen”? Many of us assume we know the answer. But do we? Do you?

The issue has not been settled in any court. It’s time it was so that this question can fade into the history books.

By the way, do you realize Bobby Jindal cannot qualify for President either, as much as I admire the man?

repeal the 17th amandment?

Having Senators appointed by the states would give the states more power, and have a – somewhat – built in term limit effect.

Please ask him why there is no loud verbal push, in mass, from our Republican Representatives for tort reform and the end of federal mandates in the health care industry.
We can see measurable success from just tort reform alone in Texas and Mississippi where insurance costs have dropped by 20 – 30+%. And while doctors are fleeing like Democrats from Town Hall meetings in most other states, they are lining up to practice in those two states.
Socialized medicine is failing in EVERY country that has it. Rationed care, extreme drops in R & D in medicine and the need to import doctors from other countries has become the norm because there is no longer any incentive to go through the arduous and expensive training to be a doctor in such a system.
So why is it there seems to be barely a peep about making the above mentioned changes that we can actually see are working while at the same time we see socialized medicine failing every where else?

Why did you run a half-hearted campaign which resulted in the nomination of John McCain?

Should the House elections (NRCC I suppose) “nationalize” the 2010 election like the 1994 ‘Contract With America’? If so, any ideas on a handy bumper-sticker-sized slogan?

If the Obama administration manages to pass some form of health insurance “reform”, how much of it does he think we’ll be able to cancel if we retake the House next year?

Or: Besides calling our elected representatives and senators every 15 minutes and sending them letters and emails in between, what else can we do to stop health ins. reform, card check and cap and tax from being foisted upon us?

(and I would like to be introduced that way)

Q: Assuming you will not run for president in 2012, who, if anybody among those whose who seem to be candidates, will inherit from you the mantiel of “the real, bona fide, Burke-Kirk_Reagan conservative in the race”? Who’se the one who can be trusted to adhere unwaveringly to the core principles?

Why on earth do you think John “Guess My Position Today” McCain managed to beat you?

Primary voter ignorance?

Media malfeasance?

Pop culture defeating substance?

All three?

Suppose 2010 is another 1994–and I think it is possible, then what? Will Republican majorities in the House, and increased numbers in the Senate, do anything affirmative to avert our national fiscal crisis? Sure we’ll stop Obama’s agenda, but then what?

What do you think of this proposal? Petition our state legislatures to call a constitutional convention to consider amendments necessary to reign in congressional spending, and begin the hard process of reducing our national debt. Such a call (for a balanced budget amendment) began in 1978 and nearly succeeded in getting the 2/3 of the legislatures to act, and arguably did succeed, in part, by inducing Congress to pass the Gramm-Rudman Act.

what would he advise the current Republican Senators to do as to being shut out of debates, and being forced to vote on bills that have not yet been written and read?

to come into the Republican Party as precinct committeeman and HIJACK it from the moderates, explaining why that’s doable and how easy it would be to do if conservatives would just DO IT?

Thank you.

What’s your take on the current situation in Afganistan, and if you were president, what would you do to win that war.

What is the reason why Republicans lost Congress in 2006 and 2008? The grassroots know the answer. Do Republicans in Washington know the answer? Do they have any idea what to do in 2010 to regain control? Some of us think the Tea Parties are better organized than the Republicans. Does Fred agree? Please give us reason to be optimistic that Republican leaders “get it”.
