Lunch!
This video is done by a group of people in NYC, called "Improv Everywhere" and although I could never do this, I think that they are awesome, what a great way to practice your talents and bring a smile to people that may not have anything to smile about.

My Papa is a Capitalist
My papa is a Capitalist, my mamma, too, and I,
And if you'll wait a minute now, I'll tell the reason why;
I'm sure that when you understand, you certainly will see,
You'd better be a Capitalist, and vote with pa and me.
You see, we're very lucky to be living in a nation,
That knows rewarding hard work will encourage innovation.
For there are many people who, when offered an incentive,
Will use their brains and brawn to be amazingly inventive.
Our country's prospered like no other, based on a single notion,
That caused millions of people to board ships and cross the ocean.
What made so many immigrate and cross the churning sea?
The answer's really simple. Just one word: It's "Liberty."
The chance to live in freedom, where their dreams are not restrained,
The chance to pursue goals and know they can be obtained.
The promise of a better life drew, like moths to flame,
Millions upon millions who sought freedom, fortune, fame.
Look around the world and see the countries that have failed,
And you will find the reason is that hope had been curtailed.
If your future's been decided and your dreams have been ignored,
You've got no motive to succeed -- because there's no reward.
But if you are enabled, placed in charge of your own fate,
The world can be your oyster. That's what makes this country great.
It's the nature of humanity to always improve our lot,
To have a bigger chicken in an even bigger pot.
So papa is a Capitalist, mamma and children too;
We're in control of our own lives. And happier, as are you.
The things we want we work hard for, so the things we lack are few.
So all of us are Capitalists; please, won't you be one too?

In Tribute...
The month of October 2009 has been the deadliest month of fighting in the middle east since the start of the war almost 8 years ago. Although great strides have been made in Iraq, Afghanistan is a completely different story.
The current administration has failed to lead on every front, both domestically and especially militarily, Gen McCrystal, Dear Leader's choice to lead in the Afghan theater, requests have gone largely ignored by Dear Leader as he has been flitting around the globe accomplishing nothing. Gen McCrystal has requested 40,000 more troops asap, this was more than 2 months ago, Dear Leader is thinking about it... This is a first for him, we have passed legislation without reading the bills because of made-up crisis and now that a real crisis is presented he is again voting present and failing to take a stand and made a decision, meanwhile our brave men and women are in harm's way and the lack of personnel on the ground only makes it that much more dangerous.

From the HUH? file
Alan Grayson (d) Florida says that 44,000 (.018%) people a year die because they don't have health insurance. That sounds better to me, there were a total of 2,426,264 deaths in America last year. So having insurance seems to be the cause of death for 2,382,264 (.981%) if we follow Grayson's illogical comments, seems that the much more lethal option is to pay for health insurance.

Insurance and reform
(Jenny, this is my offering for the national day of writing)
The way the government views things for much of my life have perplexed me to say the least and infuriated me more than not. This opinion has only solidified under this current congress and administration.
Let's consider insurance, we all have lots of insurance policies to consider, we have renters or home owners insurance, car insurance and most of us have some form of health insurance. If you have bought extended warranties of appliances, cars or a home warranty, these too are types of insurance.
Now let's look at the way we use these insurance policies;
If we have home owners insurance, we only use it if we have a robbery, injury to a visitor, or catastrophic incident like a fire. We do not use this insurance to replace the garbage disposal or paint the house or even to get the house inspected to make sure everything is working okay.
If we have car insurance is is also for catastrophic incidents, accidents, fires and theft. We don't use or mandatory car insurance on oil changes, tires or car washes.
So now let's see what we have in health insurance, certainly a different attitude about it and our physical health is more important than our houses or our cars. There are many levels of health insurance, there is catastrophic policy, it only covers large expenditures like surgery and major health incidents, (heart attacks, cancer, etc) there are also the typical plan that cover your doctors visits and medications and catastrophic incidents. These plans usually have a co-pays. The next plan is what our government officials and many unions have, they are the "Cadillac Plans" these are expensive full coverage plans, no deductibles and include eye care, dental and are the most expensive. The beauty of this is YOU get to decide what you need and how much you want to budget for your needs and abilities.
So my observation is this; The health care reform being designed and bartered behind closed doors and our of the public eye seems to be a hybrid of the whole health care and the Cadillac plans. The proponents claim that people are going bankrupt and we need to save them from this fate. So we are looking at spending an additional 2 trillion dollars for this health plan.
For the record I am 100% against any government involvement in providing health care insurance to anyone, this includes medicare and medicaid and it isn't because I am cold hearted and want anyone to die in the streets, I just think that the free market is a better steward of these institutions. The government should provide some oversight and guidelines to assure that there is equal access to all to buy insurance. They also want to cover illegal aliens (constitutionally it is required that anyone living here has equal access). They also want to cover abortions and sex change surgery. (HMMMM isn't that special?)
Since the government has already committed to medicare and medicaid and the people who have paid into the system are entitled to a return on their mandated investment, this system is a part of our future. And, since this administration and congress seem posed to take control of 16% of our economy and give us the big socialist Universal Health care plan.
My solution to this issue;
I would opine that the government should have a base program for all citizens of the USA, this would be catastrophic coverage only. This would not include preventive care or painting the house. Now if you would like whole health coverage, you can buy that upgrade for yourself and again the same with the Cadillac plans. The cost of health insurance reform would be far cheaper to tax-payers and more people would be saved from that pesky bankruptcy.

New World Order? - CALL TO ACTION
In December there is to be an international summit on "climate change" in which a treaty will be offered that will force industrialized nations to pay third world countries for the sin of global warming, this is a treaty the Dear Leader will gladly sign, he loved playing Robin Hood. The problem is that at the same time he is giving more money away that we will have to borrow against our children and grandchildren to pay, he is also cede's the US sovereignty in the process, this can not be allowed to happen. I believe any treaty signed by Dear Leader has to be ratified by congress, start now and let your elected representatives know that this is not acceptable and that "We the People" do not cede our independence based on unproven theories and "environmental justice".
I have attached a coupe of You tube links, the first one is the short 4 minute version talking about the treaty and the second is the entire 95 minute speech that refutes that whole theory of global warming. Here is the link to the presentation that he references throughout the 95 minute version. It is well worth the listen.
here is the link to the treaty that is refered to in the last 5 minutes.

Our wonderfully efficient government
This was e-mailed to me and I thought I would share it.
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one Year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."
So they laid off the night watchman.
NOW slowly let it sink in. Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY....During the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency ... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!
Ready?? It was very simple ... and, at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.
The Department of Energy was instituted on 8-04-1977. TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
AND, NOW, ITS 2009 -- 32 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND, LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE! THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
Ah, yes -- good ole bureaucracy
And, NOW, we are turning the banking system, HEALTH CARE, maybe the insurance industry and the auto industry over to the same Government?

Open Letter to Congress
Dear Members of Congress,
I sit here bewildered and confused today after observing your actions. So, I have a few questions that I would love to have answered.
Why was it necessary to spend more than an hour of tax-payer time to scold a congressman that had already apologized twice?
Why are we spending hundreds of millions of dollars on mice, horses and other wild animals to have nice homes when millions of Americans are losing theirs?
Why are you allowing the President to appoint three dozen Czars, mostly with no oversight without raising holy hell?
Why are the unions getting more control over companies like GM when the shareholders are losing their investments?
Why is SEIU helping to write any legislation, isn't that your job?
Why did the "Apollo Alliance" write the stimulus bill?
If you are not writing the bills and you are not reading the bills, how do you know what is in the bills?
If you are not reading or writing the bills, do we really need you to vote on them?
Why hasn't EVERY member of congress demanded a full audit and investigation of ACORN and their affiliates?
What is it that ACORN does that makes them worthy of up to 8.5 BILLION dollars of funds borrowed on the backs of my children?
If the president surrounds himself with radicals, and, has a lifetime attraction to radicals, why shouldn't he be considered a radical?
If anyone that disagrees with the president is racist, as we have heard over and over again, why was everyone that disagreed with Bush a patriot?
How long does it take for the house ethics committee need to investigate and find that Charlie Rangel cheated on his taxes?
Speaking of tax cheats, why is it again that you have confirmed tax cheats one after the other to manage the money and policies of this nation? If they can't handle their money, why the hell are we trusting them with our money?
When are you going to read the US Constitution? When will you start following it?
I will wait for your response,
Tom Walker
Taxpayer

Someone please explain to me how this is the republicans fault?
Don't the Democrats have majorities in both the house and the senate?
Is it the the left needs a cover, so when this nightmare blows up and the American people are looking for blood, the cowards on the left can call it bi-partisan?
Doesn't seem like the "leadership" knows how to lead.
The blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of the moderates in the democratic party. they are over passing progressive legislation, just to advance the progressive movement.

September 8th - Dear Leader Indoctrination Day at School
In case you have a life and missed the news, Dear Leader is scheduled to give a speech on Tuesday the 8th of September. One of the reported goals is to ask your children to help support the presidents agenda and policies. If you support Dear Leader and his policies and agenda, this is a good and happy day for you. If like me you find everything that the administration and congress is doing is abhorrent bordering on criminal, then Tuesday will be a long and stressful day of either keeping your kids home with Obamaflu or going to school with them to defuse the propaganda that this administration loves to spew.
Link 1 - Propaganda is the word of the day, see what the NEA wants your kids to read to reinforce the speech Dear Leader is giving Tuesday the 8th.
This video is a light overview of what the curriculum is for the event
If you choose to allow your children to participate, you may want to sit through it with them or at the very least defuse the propaganda with some home schooling after school. Here is a suggested curriculum for the aftermath of propaganda ala Dear Leader;
It's the obligation of an American citizen to question, challenge, be suspicious of government.
Question: Why were the Founders fearful of government?
Question: In what ways did they insure limits on government power?
Question: What are the enumerated powers of the federal government?
Question: In what ways did FDR violate the Constitution?
Question: In what ways is BHO, the new FDR, attempting to circumvent the Constitution?
Question: What can you do as an American citizen to make certain your government remains true to the Constitution?
Question: Why is an educated populace important to a free society?
Questions: Why did the Founders encourage public schools, to teach classes on of the Constitution?"
Question: What elements of our government today might be causing our Founders to turn in their graves?

Cash for Codgers
Democrats, realizing the success of the President’s “Cash For Clunkers” rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.
President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Refd are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week. I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal which is named….
“CASH FOR CODGERS” And It Works Like This…
Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay for the delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person. The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent ‘codgers’ will garner the highest amounts.
Special “Bonuses” will be paid for those submitting codgers in targeted groups, such as smokers, alcohol drinkers, persons 10 pounds over their government prescribed weight, and any member of the Republican Party.
Smaller bonuses will be given for ‘codgers’ who consume beef, soda, fried foods, potato chips, lattes, whole milk, dairy products, bacon, Brussels sprouts, or Girl Scout Cookies.
All ‘codgers’ will be rendered totally useless via toxic injection. This will ensure that they are not secretly resold or their body parts harvested to keep other ‘codgers’ in repair.

White House has trouble with telling the Truth!!!
Last week that White House claimed no knowledge of how the spam mail was being sent, this week, they admit to using out tax dollars to span us on an entitlement program that a majority of Americans don't want. Now, let's give the benefit of the doubt that the left hand doesn't know what the other left hand is doing, wouldn't that be another good example of the government NOT being qualified to run this countries health care?
here's the article
Here is a sound bite from the far-left leaning Air America Radio calling Obama a liar. How far has his reputation fallen if the far-left media doesn't believe him.

Critical Condition on National Review Online
PLEASE READ BELOW AND REPORT ME AS A FISHERMAN. The government takeover of healthcare, will put us all in danger of being denied coverage if the government decides you are not worth the treatment.
This sounds a lot like a little Austrian guy with a funny mustache in the 1920s and 30s in Germany, 6 million Jews can't be wrong when they were deemed defective by the government and exterminated, along with handicapped and others deemed less worthy of life.

Quote of the Day
"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." - Adrian Rogers, 1931
Pass it all - let the voters sort it out.
I am so tired of all the socialist America hating legislation that is being pushed by the far-left leaning congress that I give up - PASS IT ALL, we the voters will sort it out. Currently we have Cap and Trade which will cost 2.5 million jobs a year and it will not control any carbon emissions or change the perceived climate change. Health Care reform which will cost 5 million jobs if passed and if similar models are correct won't reform health care, it will only make it harder to get health care and if you are too old or have an "unhealthy" lifestyle, you may be refused life saving health care all together. Barney "Brothel" Frank wants to pass legislation that will limit executive pay for those on wall street, he thinks that incentive-based pay is not good for the economy. All this is from the congress that has the lowest approval rating in history and still gave themselves a raise this year.
Ask your rep about the 700 million dollars for Wild Horse birth control. or the 3.4 million for a turtle tunnel or 30 million for rats in San Francisco, and the 80 million that ended up being given to art houses in San Francisco to show Gay Horror Porn and "Pervert Dance Reviews" I am sure there are better things to spend our tax-dollars on than that.
Yep - I think the demorats should pass all the bad - America hating legislation that they can think of - We the voters will have the final say on election day. Every member of the house of representin' and a third of the senate are up for our votes in November 2010, we should make them aware of the fact that WE get to make the final decision on their policies and WE will make certain that all these communist loving - America Hating congressmen are back in the private sector in January 2011.
*** side note ***
most of the legislation won't take effect until after 2011 session starts and we should make sure we elect those that will be in a majority and able to repeal these atrocities.
Happy Friday!

The Mainstream Media - Joke of the Day
A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.' The journalist leaves..
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
That pretty much sums up the liberal news media's approach to the news these days.

Horse Welfare
$700 Million in Welfare for Horses!!!
Unemployment tops 10 percent in 15 states in June
By JEANNINE AVERSA (AP) – 7 hours ago
WASHINGTON — Unemployment topped 10 percent in 15 states and the District of Columbia last month, according to federal data released Friday. The rate in Michigan surpassed 15 percent, the first time any state hit that mark since 1984.
The Federal Reserve this week projected that the national unemployment rate, currently at a 26-year high of 9.5 percent, will pass 10 percent by the end of the year. Most Fed policymakers said it could take "five or six years" for the economy and the labor market to get back on a path of long-term health. To get there, consumers must return to a regular spending groove and housing prices need to start rising again.
Home to the nation's struggling auto makers, Michigan has been clobbered by lost factory jobs. Its jobless rate of 15.2 percent in June was the highest in the country.
Still, the U.S. Labor Department said it's the first time in 25 years that any state has suffered an unemployment rate of at least 15 percent. In 1984, it was West Virginia.
The state unemployment report underscores the damage that the longest recession since World War II has inflicted on companies, workers and communities.
The other 14 states where unemployment topped 10 percent last month were: Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee.
In May, the jobless rate topped 10 percent in 13 states and the District of Columbia. Alabama and Georgia joined the list in June.
While Michigan's rate was the highest in the country in June, the record-high for the state was 16.9 percent in November 1982.

Should We Pay for More Abortions? - Take Action Now!!!
How would you feel about the possibility of having your taxes raised to help the government pay for abortions?
Well that might just be a reality by the end of August, which is why I need you to act now to stop the biggest attempt to force taxpayer funded abortion on-demand on the American people.
Please write your Senators today and tell them to respect your consciences and explicitly prohibit taxpayer funded abortion as part of health care reform.
If we do not act today, the lives of thousands of unborn boys and girls will fall prey to abortion courtesy of our pro-abortion Congress and President...using your very own hard-earned tax dollars.
It is a proven fact that taxpayer-funded abortion only serves to increase abortions. Even the other side admits this, saying abortions could increase by 25% among those eligible for government health care, if taxpayers were forced to pay for abortions.
Please write the Senate today and tell them to save lives by banning taxpayer funding for abortions in health care reform.
It is quite clear that abortion is NOT health care, yet the other side continues to argue it is.
President Obama has clearly stated that he supports taxpayer-funded abortions as part of his health care reform. In his speech to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund in July of 2008, President Obama said that in his mind "reproductive care is essential care, basic care, so it is at the center, the heart of the [health care] plan that I propose." When asked for clarification later, an Obama spokesman said that “reproductive care included abortion."
In the current House health care reform bill, Nancy Pelosi and her pro-abortion friends have left the door open for Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and her unelected pro-abortion bureaucrats to define abortion as part of “reproductive care,” just as Hillary Clinton has already done at the State Department. We cannot allow pro-abortion forces to write abortion into national health care coverage.
Click here to tell your Senators to explicitly ban taxpayer-funding of abortion as part of health care reform. Tell them you don't want your tax dollars to pay for abortions!
And make sure you forward this e-mail to all your friends and family. We need to make sure every voice is heard in this fight.
Thank you for all you do in the fight to protect unborn boys and girls.

If We Fail to Learn from History...
Something to think about.
Subject: Dr. David Kaiser. "Something of historic proportions is happening"
He is a professor in the Strategy and Policy Department of the United States Naval War College and has previously taught at Carnegie Mellon, Williams College and Harvard University . Kaiser's latest book, The Road to Dallas, about the Kennedy assassination, was just published by Harvard University Press.
Dr. David Kaiser
History Unfolding
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.
Something of historic proportions is happening.. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it.. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people we know they can never pay back? Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine.. And that is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so strenuously just this past September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "we the people," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not.
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it simply wants marriage to remain defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?) We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly bankrupt, as is medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and I know precisely what I am talking about) - the list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth.. It is potentially 1929 x ten... And we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn, cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we have elected a man that no one really knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change. Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life.. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning..
As a serious student of history, I thought I would never come to experience what the ordinary, moral German must have felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the "savior" was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they should have known was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory. Conservative "losers" read it right now.
And there were the promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them into submission. Which they did - regularly. And then, he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression. Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government power, person by person, department by department, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German citizens were at first, encouraged to join a Youth Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews of course,
How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... .. .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books..
So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

How did he get people on his side? He did it by promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less, and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world. He did it with a compliant media - did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and .... .. .. change. And the people surely got what they voted for
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all there in the history books..
So read your history books. Many people of conscience objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world came to regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget that Germany was the most educated, the most cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And yet, in less than six years (a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency) it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors.. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me..
I choose to believe the evidence. No doubt some people will scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe-and why I believe it.
I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our vote in the next elections.

Quote of the Day
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
-- Theodore Roosevelt

Do You Know What Your Obama Debt Number Is?
This post is a small part of Newt Gingrich's weekly newsletter. It should act as a wake-up call for anyone who still thinks that the out of control government spending is not causing lasting fiscal damage to this country for generations.
Today is The National Tax Day Tea Party day. I hope you are all attending one close to your homes. I will be in Gilbert this afternoon and then at the AZ state capital this evening. Look for me there is my "Dear Leader, Chairman Maobama" t-shirt.

All of us will be forced to pay for President Obama's record-setting budget increases-as will our children and grandchildren.
By 2019, President Obama's budget will have added over $9.4 trillion to the federal debt.
And like any form of debt, such as a home mortgage or car loan, this debt comes with a steep debt load. Just like paying off the interest on a credit card, every young American will be responsible for not only paying the principal on President Obama's budget, but will also have to shoulder the interest payments.
How much will you have to pay? How much will your kids owe? American Solutions has put together an Obama Debt Calculator to determine how much President Obama's deficits will cost you over your working life.

Thousands attend Orlando TEA party
Read the article below about the Orlando Event. It is time to stand up and say enough, enough taxes, enough spending, enough government corruption, enough socialism and enough tyranny. If you are unwilling to stand up and say enough you deserve what you get. This is a great family activity, this will teach your children about the process and make them aware that they can have a say in the political process by voting, communicating with your representatives(often) and being vocal in your community. Attend the neighborhood association, city council, county board, and any other chance you can find to express your opinion. Don't just send one e-mail to your reps and senators, send it 5 times, call and leave a message on their voice mail, send a letter, this allows you to have the power of more than one, when it comes to the politicians making decisions.
In Freedom,

Tea Party Report
The Tea Party on Friday was a enlightening experience, it was sponsored by "Americans for Prosperity", which is in 25 states and expanding, and Top Conservatives on Twitter (also Facebook). There were just over 100 taxpayers in attendance and we heard messages from the state director (Tom Jenny) of AFP and several AZ State Legislators.
The main points that were made are these;
No more bailouts
Stop handouts to Wall Street and Banks and stop the nationalization/socialization of our banks.
Stop the Federal Reserves printing press before we get to 70's style stagflation.
Stop the federal bailouts and sweetheart deals for favored companies and industries.
Stop wasting taxpayer money on "stimulus" packages. (Stimulus is the same old tax-and-spend, pork barrel politics they've been giving us for 79 years. And Dear Leader's "New Deal" hasn't been very transparent.)
Stop exploding the national debt and saddling our children and grandchildren with unfunded liabilities. (latest: 70 trillion, or $800,000 per child in the US)
The Message to the State Legislature and Gov. Brewer (AZ)
Don't stick Arizona taxpayers with the bill for the Napolitano deficit. We can't tax our way to prosperity.
Don't let federal bailout money force the state to keep spending at unsustainable rates. Watch those strings that are attached!
Reduce spending. There is a lot of fat left in the budget. Nearly everything government does costs twice as much as the private sector to do the same thing.
What can you do?
Send tea bags to Congress and the President.
Bring your friends and family to AFP Arizona's local Taxpayer Townhall Meetings in 2009 www.aztaxpayers.org or infoAZ@afphq.org
Encourage your state legislators and Governor to hold the line against tax increases. They are under intense pressure from the spending lobbies.
Become a local government watchdog: you will be amazed at how much money is wasted by your school district boards, city councils, and county supervisors.
The next tea party is April 15th, contact AFP (link above) or Top Conservatives on Twitter (facebook too). Attend and become involved. Let your representatives know when you send them a tea bag that you are paying close attention to their votes and you will not forget the fiscally responsible and the not on election day. Keep the congressional feet to the fire, e-mail them as often as you can and remind them when they are not keeping your best interests at heart when they are voting and also thank them when they are responsible. If we as American citizens and taxpayers do not hold our representatives responsible for their voting record, we deserve what we get.
There is also the American Again rally of July 4th, I will post more information when I get it.

This rant kicked off a movement, today in many cities around America, Citizens are staging "Tea Parties" to protest the gross negligence of the elected officials in Washington and in many state government that think that they can spend all the money that they want to and not be accountable to the population. THIS HABIT MUST CHANGE, today is just a start.

America Again Resolves
Sorry, there is no paraphrasing this, you should all read every word and if you agree the the governments both state and federal are out of control, pass this along to all other citizen patriots.
t
America Again!
A Declaration
Whereas We the People of these 50 States of America were the creators of the Constitution for the united States of America; and
.
Whereas the three branches of federal government are creatures — things created by us in the U.S. Constitution; and
.
Whereas the national Constitution is the highest and most basic Law of the Land throughout this Republic so uniquely blessed by God among all nations; and
.
Whereas it is the sworn duty of all members of the U.S. Congress, and of every U.S. administration, and of the U.S. federal judiciary, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution for the united States of America; and
.
Whereas in that Constitution, We the People clearly enumerated and limited the powers of the federal government and retained any powers not specifically enumerated therein, to ourselves and our sovereign States, and any exercise of power by federal government beyond those listed powers is a violation of the highest law in America, which law has been repeatedly violated by politicians and presidents for 148 years in America, through many wars and attacks on the People of America and of other lands, such violence being the economic engine of wicked men throughout history; and
.
Whereas President Jefferson said that “in questions of powers...let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution”; and
.
Whereas such “binding down” can only be peaceably effected by binding the federal purse- for its present $3 trillion annual revenues have spawned a brood of corruptions, as unlimited sums of money have always done. This ocean of D.C. cash has birthed limitless unconstitutional federal powers, departments, agencies, agents, programs, projects, offices, and regulations that now threaten America’s future, our liberties and property, the U.S. Constitution itself, and the peoples of many foreign lands; and
.
Whereas Mr. Jefferson also said, with respect to this precise lawlessness that We the People are suffering on every hand from federal usurpation today, that
.
"if those who administer the general government be permitted to transgress the limits fixed by that compact, by a total disregard to the special delegations of power therein contained, annihilation of the state governments, and the erection upon their ruins, of a general consolidated government, will be the inevitable consequence...the principle...that the general government is the exclusive judge of the extent of the powers delegated to it [is] nothing short of despotism...since the discretion of those who adminster the government, and not the constitution, would be the measure of their powers...[T]he several States who formed that instrument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of its infraction... nullification by those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts done under colour of that instrument, is the rightful remedy..."
and
.
Whereas such nullification as referred to by President Jefferson must be effected not by political pressure alone (which has proven useless against the march of federal corruption and usurpation for 150 years) but by new legislation rescinding all such violations of the U.S. Constitution; and
.
Whereas We the People have learned over generations that such legislation will never make it through the halls of the corrupted Congress without our courts of the several States adding a very real threat of incarceration and loss of assets for any such corrupt violators of these many laws; and
.
Whereas there exists no principle in Western law, and no principle of public law or equity generally, prohibiting or preempting We the People and our sovereign States -- the creator parties of the judicial courts of the federal government -- from claiming jurisdiction in such cases of infamous, perennial usurpation and tyranny by our members of Congress and by the federal courts that have for too long protected such crimes and usurpations from any repair or reformation by the aggreived People or States; and
.
Whereas the present socialist changes dumped rashly on the American people by the feckless, complicit U.S. Congress and having to do with the corrupt banking and credit industries and the stock market casino cannot restore equity or health to the American economy; and
.
Whereas the underlying fraud and insider dealing in the banking, credit, insurance, and mortgage industries were facilitated and defended by a series of corrupt Congresses both by passing the current illicit, unconstitutional laws and by most members of these corrupt Congresses failing to represent their constituents in these 50 States of America, instead colluding with, defending, and in many cases positively shilling for individual players and companies within those corrupt industries; and
.
Whereas even more egregious crimes than said collusion and fraud has been, and is being, perpetrated by members of the U.S. Congress specifically in violation of the monetary clauses found in the U.S. Constitution -- which violations must be immediately halted and specifically outlawed; and
.
Whereas the illegal manufacture of our currency by a private corporation, to which we are forced to pay the face value, plus interest! when no private entity can lawfully manufacture United States currency under the U.S. Constitution; and
.
Whereas following the money as any investigator must do in seeking out a criminal, We the People hearken to the voices of countless former presidents, congressmen, and statesmen and realise that this illegal, immoral Money Power has ravaged our economy and our families for generations, causing untold hardship for all citizens, while making untold riches for a few in the corrupt financial industry as well as the corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, and lobbyists whom they own; and
.
Whereas the U.S. Congress was granted by us the sole responsibility to pass laws on federal tax assessment, collection, and enforcement, but the Internal Revenue Service has repeatedly violated those laws with the full knowledge, consent, and collusion of the U.S. Congress; and
.
Whereas the federal government, in all three branches, is coercing the productive citizens ('Taxpayers') of these united States of America to live as slaves and virtual pack-mules, to carry the burdens and pay for the crimes of the government and the elite in these corrupt industries; and
.
Whereas the U.S. Congress, administration, and federal courts are now colluding with the Internal Revenue Service, in order to keep the trillions flowing each year, essentially operating a state-sponsored terrorist organization as that term was defined by President George W. Bush in Executive Order 13224, “Terrorism: an activity that… involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life...or...property… and...appears to be intended...to intimidate or coerce a civilian population…”; and
.
Whereas this state-sponsored terrorism has continued for decades with consent and collaboration of a succession of corrupt Congresses and administrations even after every member of Congress and successive administrations have been hand-delivered extensive packages of evidence that the IRS has been violating the law while calling its actions ‘Code enforcement’ — a shameless breach of public trust as witnessed in corrupt banana republics; and
.
Whereas these things are corroborated by former IRS fraud examiner Sherry Jackson, former IRS attorney Paul Chappell, former IRS –CID enforcement agent Joe Banister, and former agents Clifton Beale and John Turner — all of whom are now spokesmen against current Congressional and IRS fraud and in favor of Tax Honesty; and
.
Whereas these former IRS employees agree with the estimated 67 million American non-filers including law-abiding Nontaxpayers who assert that IRS has been unable to show any section of law making the average person living and working in the 50 States liable for keeping records, filing IRS forms, or paying federal income tax; and
.
Whereas Historian of the IRS Shelley L. Davis testified before the U.S. Senate in September 1997 suggesting that the IRS daily violates laws, and operates as though it is above the law; and
.
Whereas Tax Honesty can restrict federal revenue sources to lawful sources — import duties, federal excise taxes, import tariffs, taxes on corporate profits and other taxable activities listed in the Tax Code, taking more than a trillion dollars per year out of the federal hog-trough which has spawned countless burdens on the citizens' lives and greatly reducing today's $7.4 billion per day torrent of cash, the corrupting equivalent of 10,800 major drug cartels; and
.
Whereas such Tax Honesty would transform the average American household's personal economics, helping millions of Americans to keep their homes and pay their bills rather than feed crooks in Congress who have long worked for lobbyists in the banking and credit industries; and
.
Whereas such Tax Honesty would de-fund countless illegal arrogations, powers, departments, and offices and greatly diminish the heavy hand of D.C. corruption on the average American family; and
.
Whereas We the People of these 50 sovereign States will never allow Congress to burden us or our future generations with an equally-corrupt “revenue neutral” alternative plan to milk the productive segment of the Republic — such as a national sales tax or a flat tax plan; instead we demand that elected representatives show new respect for the Constitution by allowing reduced revenues to limit Washington D.C. to its enumerated powers — and thus limit the potential for corruption; and
.
Whereas President George Washington said that “Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. . . The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference; they deserve a place of honor with all that's good. . .A free people ought to be armed”;
and
.
Whereas the only form of "homeland security" authorized -- indeed demanded -- in the Constitution is the organized Militias of the Several States, in local muster and assembly as laid out in detail by constitutional scholar Edwin Vieira, Jr in his book, "Constitutional Homeland Security Volume I"; and
.
Whereas We the People are now taking it upon ourselves to exercise lawful, peaceful, constitutional, organized self-government exactly in line with the Constitution by merely enforcing our Constitution for these United States, for the first time in two centuries;
.
Therefore, after our long-term failure to discharge our citizen duties (bearing the cost of our abdication on every hand), We the People of these fifty sovereign and very united States, demand that those we sent to serve us in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the U.S. Senate:
.
1) Pass legislation repealing the patently unconstitutional Presidential War Powers Act, which violates the delegation of war powers in Art. I, Sec. 8 of the Constitution and has allowed American presidents to act as unchecked military tyrants around the world while allowing Congress to abdicate its deliberative role before sending America’s military to kill and maim people of other lands (many of whom have been innocent non-combatants) although they caused no demonstrable threat to We the People or our States but only to commercial interests; and
.
2) Pass legislation that:
.
A) Acknowledges the 4th Amendment privacy in the American people’s own persons, houses, papers, communications, and effects from any and all government surveillance, seizure, or detainment unless preceded by issuance of a specific, bona fide warrant issued on probable cause;
.
B) Announces Congress’s intention to refuse to fund (or continue to fund) any Executive Order or armed federal action, such as Department of Homeland Security, that violates the executive powers in the Constitution and threatens liberty by creating a coercive federal police-state;
.
C) Makes illegal any organization, department, or federal action to endanger or blur America’s sovereign status among the nations of the world;
.
D) Rescinds all portions of the USA Patriot Acts that violate the liberty and privacy of an American until a warrant is issued upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized;
.
E) Makes clear that any future federal effort that violates the 4th and/or 6th Amendments is null and void;
.
F) Makes illegal any electronic or biometric tracking of any law-abiding citizen of these 50 States, or any federal government program of biometric or electronic tracking of domestic animals within any of the 50 States; and
.
3) Pass legislation currently in draft form including all of the substantive provisions found in the Monetary Reform Act prepared by Stephen Zarlenga and the American Monetary Institute, which legislation publicly acknowledges that manufacture of American currency by the Federal Reserve bank cartel violates Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution; publicly acknowledges that We the People granted power to coin currency only to Congress; repeals the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act and makes illegal any new issue of Federal Reserve currency; restores confidence in and governmental control over America’s currency and credit; stabilizes the money supply and price level; establishes full reserve banking and prohibits fractional reserve banking; retires the national debt and repeals conflicting Acts regarding U.S. money and banking; withdraws the United States banking system from international banks, and restores federal government accountability for monetary policy, removing the causes of economic depressions without any additional taxation, inflation or deflation; and
.
4) Pass legislation directing IRS to immediately cease the fraudulent application of the Tax Code and immediately release all federal prisoners being held on “failure to file” or similarly unsubstantiated charges; and
.
5) Pass legislation making illegal any federal taking or federal use restriction of private land, and/or of water, minerals, or other God-given resources in, on, or under said private land in any of the 50 States; and
.
6) Pass legislation making illegal any new federal burden, restriction, registration, regulation, tracking, or other impediment on ownership and use of firearms and other military-grade weaponry by law-abiding Americans for self-defense or defense of family and property against any attacker, thief, or enemy force that should present any unlawful threat to life or liberty — whether said enemy be civilian or military, foreign or domestic — as was the manifest intent of the 2nd Amendment; and
.
7) Repeal the 17th Amendment, restoring the original design for this constitutional foedus of Sovereign States with our sovereign legislatures, which representative bodies, in electing their two representatives in the U.S. Senate, enhance the political leverage of the States over a federal plebescite that has been abused repeatedly since the passage of that amendment; and
.
8) De-fund and dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and any other federal program, power, regulation, or inhibition of the education of our own children. The federal power has neither the authorisation nor the ethical right to involve itself in how we raise our children, nor to instruct our Sovereign States in such matters because our State government also has no business in training children in America.
.
After almost 150 years of increasing federal abuse and arrogation of power, We the People and our 50 States have thought ourselves powerless. The federal power has amassed its limitless ocean of cash coerced by threat of force from our honest labor, and certainly by no voluntary scheme of taxation at all -- plunging us into a worse condition of servitude than that which We the People endured under George III and the British Parliament.
.
Now, with a gargantuan military subculture and a military-industrial complex (about which President Eisenhower warned us) at its sides, this federal power is our Frankenstein's monster, a veritable D.C. al-Qaeda that holds us -- the People and our sovereign States -- as terror-stricken hostages with no say in life or death or multi-trillion-dollar rackings of the economy. Rather than its constitutional creators, We the People and Sovereign States of America, have acted as miserable creatures bereft of hope.
.
But no more. We the People of these States of America do here declare our resolve to enforce the foundational Law of the Land by which we gave birth to the national government, and under which we retained all powers not enumerated to the federal power.
We declare our resolve to bind the purse-strings of that government as required, yet shall not bar any fellow American from volunteering his wages to Congress' IRS scheme if desired.
.
We hereby notify each and every one of our 535 elected federal representatives that his/her attendance is demanded (but not expected) on the 4th of July next, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, for an Independence Day celebration sponsored by local student and adult members of the Citizens’ Homeland Security Associations, pursuant to organizing our respective areas’ State Militias once more, as the Constitution guarantees.
.
These annual festivities and public observances shall begin with a public reading of this Declaration as annually amended by the People; a Congressional report card, if you will, on our representative. This reading shall take place at the Main Public Library (or as otherwise announced in the local media) in the city or town being the seat of the particular member of Congress’ district. That reading shall be followed by patriotic and festive fireworks display and refreshments at the city park or other announced location.
.
The member’s record since taking office shall speak for itself. Yet We the People do agree to offer the member immunity under one condition alone: that (s)he will in writing, with witnesses, repent his/her record of support for and/or acquiescence in, the countless egregious violations of the Law of the Land and will sponsor or co-sponsor such legislation as is herein mentioned, without material amendment and only as reviewed and approved by his/her Citizens' Homeland Security Association and local constituency after allowing the People sufficient time for said review.
.
Given the present state of affairs, and the numerous powerful, nefarious players and lobbyists controlling the actions and legislation of Congress, We the People demand a restoration of our rightful perogatives of self-government. Armed in our own homes and backed by the courts of our Sovereign States, each U.S. senator and congressman will now be held fully to account for fraud, conspiracy, racketeering, and a long list of abuses spanning generations.
.
Decades of deepening corruption teach us that there are only two ways that We the People can now trust a politician: if (s)he openly, in writing, joins the People’s resolve to preserve, protect, and defend the U.S. Constitution as (s)he is sworn to do; or if (s)he is serving a sufficient number of years in a State Penitentiary after having been stripped of the emoluments of crime in high office.
.
We the People of America don't care what the Europeans do; we have distinct histories and governments from theirs. Neither do we cringe at the people of China or Russia; and even the dreaded Islamic menace, so called, does not frighten us. Most Americans trust God's decrees for our future. What we do NOT trust is politicians and bureaucrats, and the corporate cabal who have owned them since Lincoln's time.
.
Most of us Americans are not military mothers, cheering for "our warriors" across the world in other people's living rooms. Most of our sons and daughters are simply ignorant of American history, having attended government schools. The average American sees no crying need to police or develop the rest of the world. We hold out a hand to our friends among every people on earth who seek liberty and truth. At this hour, America's most mortal enemies are domestic, as our founders warned us would be the case. Our own politicians and police are now not to be trusted. We the People are determined to set things right, so help us God.
.
Should our member of Congress refuse to agree, in writing, to cease violating the law; should (s)he prevaricate, obfuscate, or bloviate as politicians so often do, rather than give clear, concise answers — or should (s)he return to his/her seat of power to conspire anew with like-minded scoundrels (or with oligarchs and corporate powers who own his first allegiance) to defend the criminal status quo, We the People do hereby express our solemn resolve to gain his/her criminal indictment and conviction for fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy — not under the federal laws that Congress employed against the relatively miniscule corruption of Enron or Worldcomm executives, but under the criminal laws of his or her State, with multi-count, multi-trillion-dollar indictments handed down by his/her local State Grand Jury.
.
Should any of our State district attorneys or judge(s) fail to see the gravity of these crimes and/or refuse by complicity or fecklessness to oversee justice under the U.S. Constitution, We the People hereby resolve to seat replacements who WILL respect the Rule of Law; who will recognise the rights and the DUTIES of these Fifty Sovereign States of this American republic, to enforce the terms of the U.S. Constitution against corrupt federal actors, without further delay.
.
We the People do resolve that in such cases, we shall seek the longest possible State Prison terms and financial penalties; for multi-trillion-dollar fraud as with any other international crime of that magnitude, we will seek seizure of all wealth and properties held under the politician's name, or held in trust under any structure whatsoever, in any jurisdiction in the world whatsoever, inuring to the benefit of the member or his/her family or descendants.
.
This citizens’ effort, called America Again! has been conceived not by politicians or special interests, but by everyday People of these 50 States, to illustrate how blessed we are to have our federal Constitution, warts and all.
.
We hope to prove to a watching world that even while national and international forces of greed and corruption seek to sunder our constitutional republic, that a diligent minority of citizens can help to restore liberty and lawful self-government. Arming ourselves with faith in God, we will enforce the Law of the Land laid down by our fathers. We will back up our efforts with a town-by-town display of citizen resolve, keeping and maintaining military-grade weaponry in our homes as intended by the founders, and proving that under our Constitution, the normal citizens, rather than jack-booted police or paramilitary troops, are America's lawful design for social order.
.
By their response to this citizen enforcement action of the U.S. Constitution that they have so long violated, members of the Congress of our States shall now demonstrate to the world their repentant statesmanship and fidelity, or their ignominious corruption.
.
We citizens of these 50 sovereign States of America do consecrate this first annual effort to restore American self-government on this Independence Day, 2009. May God bless this formerly godly Republic, that we may live to be America Again!
