So many people around the world want to live and work in the United States of America, and have the rights and privileges – and responsibilities – of a US citizen. The culture of freedom and opportunity, along with the USA’s excellent record on human rights means that many people are queuing up to get their Green Card.

A Green Card is the colloquial name for a permanent residency card. A green card lottery is one way of obtaining a green card – the other way is to have a family member or a legal wife/husband who is a citizen of the USA (who remembers the Julia Roberts movie Green Card?).

The green card lottery system was set up in 1990. The more formal name for the green card lottery is the “Diversity Immigrant Visa” program. The green card lottery grants permanent residency visas to 50,000 immigrants a year. But some countries are not eligible for the green card lottery. These countries are those who have had 50,000 or more emigrants to the USA in the last ten years. This is to ensure that the population of the US remains diverse and multicultural.

Each green card lottery is referred to with the prefix DV plus the year the green card lottery is for. The current round is referred to as DV-2008, as the green card lottery is for visas that will be issued in 2008. Applications for this green card lottery are now closed.

The “winners” of the green card lottery are distributed around the countries the applicants currently live in, with countries that have not had many green card lottery “winners” in the last five years getting a more generous share.

If you are wishing to enter the green card lottery with the hopes of becoming a US citizen, you must be aware of several things. Firstly, the green card lottery is indeed a lottery and not everyone who enters will “win” the prize of a Green Card. Secondly, to enter the green card lottery, you have to fit certain requirements regarding skills and education.

Would-be citizens of the US also need to be aware of green card lottery scams. Do not believe any advertisement that promises to improve your chances of winning the green card lottery. As the green card lottery is a random process, this is impossible. Be very careful about online applications for the green card lottery and only apply via official sites – read the small print carefully (those annoying green card lottery pop-ups are never official).

There is some debate going on in the House of Representatives over whether the green card lottery system should be abolished, as there is a risk of fraud and because there is no guarantee that a winner of a green card lottery is not a terrorist. At the moment, however, the green card lottery is still in place. Frank j Vanderlugt owns and operates http://www.green-card-lotery.com 2 Greencardloterycom

USA in 2008 and after

THERE WAS A time when the governing elite of the USA would look down at other countries during their periods of elections and say: “We are the Beacon of Democracy. At least We Respect Each Other’s Opinions.” The debates at that time were peaceful, but with one defect - the Libertarians, Greens, and other alternative political movements were excluded.

Since the 2000 Elections and with the 9/11 incident, the Republicans and Democrats (while being friendly to each other in private) started to fight and insult each other. The supporters of both parties have also taken inspiration from the United States governing elite and have insulted, committed acts of repudiation such as spitting, tearing down signs, and throwing tomatoes with eggs.

In the middle of all of this, there is trouble every time a Libertarian, Green, or Alternative Party tries to participate in a debate. The Republicans and Democrats then unite and start with the ridicule: “Who votes for an Alternative Party? That’s a wasted vote”.

The Republicans and Democrats then continue with the use of terrorist tactics such as threats of job loss, physical, and psychological torture, in order to remain in power. The Republicans and Democrats have even used insults and arrests against Greens and Libertarian presidential candidates, all the while insulting each other.

What has been the response of those who are of the educated class in America, watching the incidents of negativity in the United States Elections? Those who have not voted for an alternative political party are staying at home, or voting with their feet, to leave a country that is teetering on the border of anarchy or dissolution. The ones that are voting with their feet have voted to convert their US Dollars into Euros or to renounce their US Citizenship.

Only time will tell what may happen, but it is hoped that this situation resolves itself. The alternatives are the following, without a resolution:

1. A civil war based on region, race, or ethnicity

2. The USA dividing into different republics or countries based on regions, or ethnicity

For those who think this is too extreme, there is a Convention between States and Groups that want to secede from the USA or dissolve it. While Press TV hails the dawning of a new era in Latin America and hopes that it would repeat itself in the USA, the possibility is that a new dawn could mean homosexuality and amorality in New England and extreme racism in the South and Midwest against Latinos, Asians, African Americans, and Native Americans.

3. The possibility of Anarchy

The resolution is simple: A Multiracial Multiethnic Libertarian Green Government, which would take the USA out of the UN, hold accountable the governing elite of the USA (and their puppets in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua) for their destructive policies of the Cold War, and return the US Dollar to the Gold Standard.
