That is at the State level, I thought you were talking about the Federal Government.

My endorsement for President in 2012 is Herman Cain. The man is absolutely fabulous. I hope he runs.

Raised in rural Georgia, Herman Cain adopted the lessons of his parents - dedication to hard work and the importance of faith - and carried them with him to the pinnacle of the corporate world. Cain earned a degree in mathematics from Morehouse College in 1967 and later earned a master's degree in computer science from Purdue University, while working as a mathematician for the Department of the Navy. He then worked as a business analyst for The Coca-Cola Company. In 1968, he married his wife, Gloria and they have two grown children.

In 1977, Herman Cain joined The Pillsbury Company and within three years, at the age of 34, rose to the position of Vice President of Corporate Systems and Services. Cain, reflecting his father's drive to seek greater challenges, then set his sights on a corporate presidency.

With this goal ahead of him and his mother's faith to support him, Cain resigned his senior position and started on another career path - the restaurant industry. He started from the ground up by making hamburgers at Pillsbury's Burger King division. Nine months later, he was managing 400 Burger King units in the Philadelphia region, the country's poorest performer. Within three years, his region had earned the reputation for excellence and was the company's best.

In 1986, Pillsbury appointed Cain to the presidency of the then financially troubled Godfather's Pizza, Inc. chain headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. In 14 short months, under Cain's leadership, the chain regained profitability. In 1988, he led his executive team in a buyout of the company from Pillsbury.

Cain was elected to the Board of Directors of the National Restaurant Association in 1998. In 1994 to 1995, he served as Chairman of the Board of Directors. While leading this association, he developed the organization into a pro-business voice via national debates and speeches concerning health care reform, employment policies, and taxation. Following this experience, he was appointed to serve on the Economic Growth and Tax Reform Commission in addition serving as Chairman and Member of the Board of Directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He then became a senior advisor to the 1996 Dole/Kemp campaign for the Presidency.

Herman Cain continued the responsibilities of President and Chairman of Godfather's Pizza, Incorporated, while beginning a second career delivering national keynote speeches. Using his messages as the foundation, he created his own leadership consulting company, T.H.E. Incorporated (The Hermanator Experience). T.H.E. packages his speaking and develops his products, including books, videotapes and audio tapes, CDs of gospel music, and promotes his keynote speeches. He has authored three books to date on topics ranging from leadership to self-empowerment including Leadership is Common Sense and CEO of Self. In 2002, he became an Executive Lecturer for the Gallup Organization.

In 1996, Cain became CEO and President of the National Restaurant Association. He had been a member of the NRA Board since 1988, and had served as its elected volunteer chairman in 1994/1995. Cain thus became the only volunteer chairman to become the full-time CEO and President of the Association while still a member of the Board. Cain headed the NRA in this position for two and a half years.

In 1999, Cain sought to leverage his restaurant experience with the technology market and he became CEO and President of RetailDNA. Its mission is to provide innovative marketing solutions to the retail sector.

In 2004, he ran as a candidate for the United States Senate from Georgia.

Today, Herman hosts "The Herman Cain Show" weeknights 7pm-10pm on News/Talk 750 WSB. He is a FOX News Commentator (watch for him on "Cavuto") and is a syndicated columnist.

from OP's link - there was an "UPDATE" news.

Kalamazoo Central seniors aren't the only ones asked the 'Citizen status' question regarding President Barack Obama's visit
Constantly on the lookout for making mountains out of molehills, the Drudge Report posted as its top story a group of students surrounding President Obama with the headline: "Students asked for 'citizen status' prior to Obama commencement."

Clicking on the link brings up the Kalamazoo Gazette story, "Obama may personally greet each graduate: Kalamazoo Central seniors to fill out paperwork for Secret Service." The students in the Drudge photo are not K-Central students, by the way.

In our conversations with the Secret Service, they made it clear this is standard procedure for events where advance planning provides an indication of who will be in the audience meeting the president. The purpose is to allow the Secret Service to perform a background check for security purposes. Their job is to keep the president safe, not look for illegal immigrants.

Forms for school, employment or any official documentation regularly include a yes/no question on citizenship. The new law in Arizona takes this a step further by asking for papers on demand providing proof of citizenship.

K-Central students are not being asked to provide proof of citizenship status, they are just being asked to fill out the form shown in the photo above. They have been asked to fill out the same paperwork and answer the same questions throughout their entire public school career.

Von Washington Jr., the principal of Kalamazoo Central High School, said he has been told this will not stop any senior from participating in the graduation ceremony, and it's also his understanding that this is standard operating procedure for audiences who will be close to the president.

K-Central found out May 4 that the school won a national competition, for which the school submitted a video, that will bring Obama to its commencement as graduation speaker. The ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. June 7 at Western Michigan University’s basketball arena.

Compare with AZ immigrant bill is just like apple to orange.

At least the AZ law requires the police to have probable cause before questioning a person's status. :giggle:

Not all illegal immigrants do commit crime.

First of all, if they are "illegal" they are aliens, not immigrants.

Secondly, they have committed the crime of crossing a border illegal. The word "illegal" means committing an act that is against the law.

It don't means that all illegal immigrants are.

No, but if you eliminate all the illegal aliens from those gangs they will be a lot smaller and weaker, and some will cease to exist.

So, do you agree with me that everyone, including toddlers, should carry an ID on them at all time?

You're all about equality, right?
Click to expand...
I agree that all adults should carry identification with them. Toddlers, by themselves, don't usually cross borders, drive cars, work under the table, or join gangs.

There is precedence for minors to have passports, however, because so many have been snatched by non-custodial parents and taken to foreign countries.

are you saying the average ordinary American should not be protected?

And here I thought all you gun toting NRA types were ready to defend yourselves.... :rifle:

Are you suggesting the "average ordinary American" should have Secret Service agents assigned to them?

I'm not sure why you're screeching about this. It's a standard security procedure. I'm sure that prior to being a forest fire fighter - you were required to submit all kinds of information like social security number, birth date, address, etc. for background check.

So what your saying is It's okay for federail and state government to require US citizens to submit this information but when someone who is illegaly here is required to show this information is also required, thats racism or profiling? OMG! I don't know if I want to read any of your comments anymore. Please rethink your opinions :)

They should only be required if and only if they travel abroad, I am still in favour of "FREEDOM". We have means of identification already in place-Driver License. If you don't drive there is the option of a picture ID but it should be by choice only.

um.... that's not what I said at all. please re-read my posts... 3x. It's voluntary to give out your information required for background check if you want to go to White House or apply for job. Nobody should be stopped to show proof of immigration status.

Reasonable suspicion? sureeeeee

State drivers license or non-driver ID card for residents is what I had in mind. Non-resident legal visitors would have passports.
