Can you answer this question?

[Scotty J.]

It's from the Citizenship Test from the Library of Congress. Please choose which one you think is correct and the reason why.

i bet schooling and education. the gov't doesnt have to do anything about it.

 

[wr250rdr]

the powers reserved to the federal government include all but schools and education. that power falls to the state.

printing money is the feds power hence the "federal reserve note" on a dollar bill

the government can declair war. with 2/3 vote of congress i believe might be 3/4

we have a uniform army that is why the president is the comander in chief of the armed forces. the states are allowed to maintain a melicia incase of emergency or specific threat.

the government dose not control public school or education aside from providing funding from tax dollars. that is why each state has different requirements for graduation of highschool and college.

That's an interesting response, but then what is "No Child Left Behind"?

it is a program addopted by individual states that was proposed by the fed. and was optional for each state to particiapate. but by participating the state recieved more funding

I see, so this is the "The Federal Government doesn't dictate State Law" argument? Kind of like 55mph speed limits, .08 DUI limits, 21 drinking age, dot dot dot?

Extortion is a Felony to anyone but the Federal Government. You never said that you agreed or disagreed with the tactics the Federal Government uses to get it's way. What's the first Amendment of the Bill of Rights? "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

no, they created the FCC to do that. IMHO, this makes our Federal Government no better than a 2 bit con man, and WE allow them to continue to do it.

 

[wr250rdr]

yes it is extortion to a point, but the states wernt gunna face a punishment if they didnt adopt with no child left behind. but the program required more teachers etc. so they needed more funding.

i dont see how no child left behind violates the 1st ammendment? the program was voted on by the voters in each state before it was addopted so it is 100 percent correct with the 1st ammendment. now one can argue ( and 23 states are) that the current administration has restricted our 1st ammendment right with the health care bill is a violation of the 1st ammendment because it is both taxing the people without the peoples approval, (which is why we seperated from england in the first place) and also that is also restricting our liberity in that it fources the purchasing of health care when it is a option.

That was a rhetorical response as to how the Federal Government circumvents the limitations that the US Constitutions applies to them.

now one can argue ( and 23 states are) that the current administration has restricted our 1st ammendment right with the health care bill is a violation of the 1st ammendment because it is both taxing the people without the peoples approval, (which is why we seperated from england in the first place) and also that is also restricting our liberity in that it fources the purchasing of health care when it is a option.

I disagree and agree with this statement. I agree that the Federal Government has over stepped it's boundaries with the recent "Healthcare Reform" Laws. However, taxation without representation was the driving force with which we separated from England. Supposedly, we have representation in Washington DC, but from what I've seen lately, either there is huge voter fraud, or the American people are idiots for electing these Representatives.

 

[wr250rdr]

i believe the later is the true reason. we have the district lines (at least in ca) so fubar'ed that the people who are truly pushing through the bills that the american people dont want ( 87% said no to health care at the final pole) like pelosi and boxer and finstein because their seats in the house and senate will never change because their voting basis is all blue bleading ignorant super liberals that are fighting to turn the United States of America into the Unites Socialist States of America.

but that act in itself of not listening to the voteing majority as both houses did and by ramming the bill through they have drawn a tax on people that dont want healthcare reform, only to achieve their liberal agenda before the november elections when the numbers could change and they would loose their super majority. the act of not listening to the public who overwelmingly said no makes it taxation without proper representation of the public.

 

[Scotty J.]

Agreed.

That's basically what I thought too.

 

[hoosier1104]

I answered: To provide schooling and education. Does this mean I get to keep my citizenship?

 

[MountainMike]

Is there a right answer? I'm Canadian so I'm not even going to explain myself, but I guessed schooling.

 

[strvger]

all i know is if you got the question wrong, stay out of Arizona. that just might be "reasonable cause" to have your "illegal alien" a** hauled into jail. just my $.02.
