Senator Lincoln held one of her now infamous "teletown hall" meetings last night, in which I participated (listened to her go on about how much money she has delivered to Arkansas special interest groups).. I've been trying to to gain a seat at the table with Senator Lincoln for some time now; therefore I wasn't surprised when she "didn't have time to get to me" during last nights' conference (She screens the questions before the voters are allowed speaking privileges).
I planned to ask her about why she has failed, along with 99% of Congress, to provide leadership in combating Washington corruption, especially the "Federal Reserve" system's criminal activities and the myriad of global threats, including the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change falsifying scientific data in order to sell the "global warming" hoax to the American people (Read Related Articles), Tax-Exempt Foundations, such as Rockefelller, Gates, Ford, Council on Foreign Relations, etc funding covert operations to destroy America's national sovereignty in favor of a global scientific dictatorship, and the Wall Street banksters getting away with the economic rape of the American people.
Of course, when I was asked by her "screener" what I wanted to ask the Senator, I simply told her that I wanted to ask about the effects of Globalization on our country. Although time is limited, do not screen the questions if you truly want to hear from the voters.
Senator Lincoln seems to think Arkansas votes are easily "bought" with millions of dollars in earmarks during a time in history in which we are facing tremendous economic uncertainty coupled with global threats from some very rich and powerful people.

Concerning Earmarks
Associated Press writer, Andrew DeMillo reports:
Little Rock, AR-Ignoring Republican complaints about wasteful federal spending, Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln is reminding voters — in dollars — of what's she's done for Arkansas during nearly 16 years in Washington.
Nearly every day, her campaign and Senate offices trumpet money that she's helped secure for her home state — from $13,811 for the Hope Police Department to buy a new cruiser to a $102 million stimulus-funded grant for the state to pay for broadband Internet.
Defending projects typically derided as pork is a tricky stance for a vulnerable incumbent, but Lincoln has turned her re-election fight into an argument for pet projects — calling them the "great equalizer" for small, rural states like Arkansas.
"I'm going to fight hard for my state because, let me tell you, these dollars are going to go somewhere else if we don't get them," Lincoln told The Associated Press.
It's a return to the basics for Lincoln, who is trailing in most polls. She's faced anger from both the right and the left, with liberal activists trying unsuccessfully earlier this year to throw her out of office in the Democratic primary.
Her opponent, Republican Congressman John Boozman, also brought millions of dollars in projects to his Arkansas district before signing on to a House GOP moratorium on earmarks. Lincoln says he's sacrificing the state's interests for politics.
Lincoln co-sponsored 91 earmarks in the 2010 budget totaling nearly $115 million, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense. Boozman sponsored or co-sponsored 31 earmarks totaling more than $30 million the same year.
