Here's another great one by Ron Paul.   A couple of years ago he proposed a bill to abolish the federal reserve and no one in Congress paid it any attention.  I think he realizes that Congress isn't ready yet for that kind of drastic change (even though we need it).  This bill in conjunction with H.R. 1207  AUDIT THE FED would cause competition in currency and help to rid of us the Federal Reserve Monopoly that now runs the system.

By the way....in case you are looking for a good read.  Usually economics, and bank books are boring, but this one The Creature From Jekyll Island
It's like reading an adventure or sci fi, but it's the truth behind the Federal Reserve.  GOOD Read!


Here's a video of Ron Paul explaining how this Act would help our economy.



H.R. 1207   Now has 317 cosponsors.  /bss/|">H.R.4248 the Competition in Currency Act only has 1, and has been sent to multiple committees.  Congress won't pay it any attention unless we as citizens write them and make a fuss......so have at em!

I love it when a Congressman like Michele Bachmann says "Can you show me where in the Constitution...... "

This bill does just that.  It's too bad that we should have to pass a bill requiring Congress to stick to the law, but here's one for the books, maybe it will get congress to read or memorize our Constitution and quit passing freedom killing laws.

H.R. 450 and S. 1319, "To require Congress to specify the source of authority under the United States Constitution for the enactment of laws, and for other purposes."  "Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House of Congress."


Tell your Congressman you would like them to co-sponsor these senate and house bills and then bring them to the floors for vote.

Liberal McCain is at it again with more CONTROL & REGULATIONS  in the dietary supplement industry.  This bill isn't about safety, it's about more control.  Tell your Representatives you are not in favor of S. 3002.

I'm about to pull my hair out.  During the 2008 election cycle I built this site with the intention of uniting the Republican party.  Knowing that I was very conservative and the party had become very liberal.  Not, that I'm a die hard Republican, I only became one so I could vote in the primaries.  Personally, I think the 2 party system stinks.  People should just vote for who they think will do the best job and who will stick the closest to the constitution.  I saw Romney as a guiding light, because I knew he was one who really could reach across the isles and clean up Washington.  He could see the problems and had the know how to solve our biggest issue- the economy.    I'm praying the Romney runs again in 2012 and that he'll have the power of a united Republican Congress behind him  (2010 elections) so we can actually get some things done.  I would stand by Romney's platform which would  include cutting spending, lowering taxes and sticking to the constitution.  I wouldn't want to run for  Public office, but if I did, I would love to see a cut throat agenda like the following:

• • Abolish the IRS in institute a 10% FLAT TAX.  (This tax would be our only federal tax, no SS, no Medicare, no anything else)  Everyone pays 10% no matter your income level.  Makes it easy.  Imagine the time savings during tax season.
  • Cut spending in 1/2 until the debt is paid off.  I can think of plenty of unconstitutional agencies like the EPA that can be completely absolved.  Most are unconstitutional anyway.  The EPA wasn't even an act of congress, it was established by Nixon via an executive order, completely against the first article, section 1 of the Constitution.
  • Abolish Social Security as we know it.  Pay everyone, every cent they have paid into social security plus 6% interest and mandate that the money is put into personal retirement accounts.
  • Get the Government out of Health Care and remove regulations.  Establish health care clinics for the poor/ incapacitated in every major city where care can be given, but it's not comfortable.  People need incentive to work hard for better opportunity.
  • Abolish the Federal Welfare programs.  What ever happened to local communities and churches taking care of their own?  American's need to be able to do this for both moral and physical obligations.  It's good for us to care for our own poor, not for the government to do it for us through a gigantic ever hungry bureaucracy.
  • Get the government out of Education.  Let the States handle what is rightfully ours.
  • Get the US out of the UN.  We don't need to be funding millions/people to an agency that threatens our very sovereignty.  Incidently, Ron Paul just proposed this bill /bss/|">H.R.1146 : To end membership of the United States in the United Nations.
  • Abolish the Federal Reserve and return to the common sense economic principles of free markets and dollars backed by items of intrinsic value such as gold or silver.
  • Allow offshore drilling, drilling in ANWR, and the Shale of Rocky Mountains ........Imagine the jobs and money it could create!!!!!!!!!  No more imported oil. 

   

  Anyway, I could probably go on, but my rant would drive me to my grave.  One of my only insanity blockers is that of knowing that literally thousands of you are feeling the same things.   I've met some wonderful, brilliant and very helpful people all across the country through this site.  So, Thank you America for listening.

 

        

The Patriot Act has certain provisions that will be expiring tomorrow. We won't be getting back all of our rights because the National Securities Letter is not set to expire. However,  if you haven't forgotten the unconstitutional intrusion of our 4th amendment rights, here's the minor gist of it. 

• The Records provision gives federal investigators access to all business, hospital and library records to search for “any tangible thing” of a terrorist suspect if there is a court order provided by a special federal court.
• The Roving Wiretaps provision authorizes government tracking capabilities in the form of wiretapping without a name or specific target as a focus, which is sometimes labeled a “sneak and peek” method.
•  The Lone Wolf provision allows the use of secret surveillance for spying on non-Americans if they are suspected of terrorist activities not tied to any specific organization.
  H.R.3961
  S.1692
  S.2336
  
  
  Tell your Senators and Representatives to VOTE AGAINST EXTENDING THE PATRIOT ACT PROVISIONS.  American's are waking up to the harsh realization that our freedoms really are being slowly taken away by the government.

Obama recently said, “If there’s a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price for the thing that’s going to make you well?”

Under falling approval polls and heathcare townhalls that American's are making their voices known, Obama is now trying a "BIPARTISAN COMPROMISE -Cooperatives" approach to his healthcare bill.  Obama has made it known that he's all for a "Single-Payer" system or a Government controlled Healthcare System. 

What HE'S SAYING and WHAT HE'S PLANNING are two different ideals.  HE SAYS.....We can keep our health coverage if we like it, but we are all smart enough to know what happens when someone offers a service or item at little or no cost.  It quickly forces out all competitors.  Sooner or later we will be left with no choice at all, but the single-payer government option -HIS PLAN.

Do we need Healthcare Reform?  Yes!  Just not Obama's plan.  We need Tort Reform and Caps on lawsuits, so the cost of liability insurance for doctors can go down and doctors can quit practicing defensive medicine.  We need to improve medical record keeping and we need more competition in the healthcare insurance industry and allow insurers to offer policies across state lines.  More Info Here  You can buy car insurance from anywhere in the US, why not Health insurance too?

Reasons to Oppose H.R.3200

1.  Look at the Government's Past History Record on Entitlement programs  They would relieve an "F" if they were in school or would be out of business if they were in the private sector.  You really want to trust the government to handle your healthcare after what you've seen they've done with SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, and Medicare's Prescription Drug Coverage.  That's like walking up to a RATTLESNAKE and saying, "I hope you don't bite me if I stick my hand out in front of you."  Congress already has $53 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities with these entitlement programs, (check out the real time national debt here) and Obama says he "thinks" H.R.3200 will cost at least $1 trillion over the next ten years, but we all know that it will be much more than that.  Besides.....what exactly is a trillion anyway?

2. A public funded (your tax dollars $1 Trillion plus) healthcare option will force out private competition.  This could result in rationed healthcare for all, shortages of doctors and less pay for doctors and services. (who wants to go through 10+ years of college for less pay than your average Joe?)

3. The Constitution does NOT entitle us to Healthcare.  Bring down the size of government!  This bill is over 1,000 pages our constitution is a fraction of that.

Bombard your State Senators Now while they are still home this August!  Tell them to say NO to Cap and Trade. Contact Your State Senators Here via Email, Phone and FAX!

Download a sample letter you can Send or Fax here

We need to stop Cap and Trade H.R.2454 in the Senate before it's too late. 

Wouldn't it be great to "CAP" the SIZE OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?  How about taxing them for recklessly spending our hard earned tax dollars?


Cap and Trade is simply another over sized regulatory government bureaucracy to dig more hands into our pocketbooks and regulate more aspects of our lives all in the name of unproven environmentalism theories.  OUR CONSTITUTION Should be ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST.  See what's happening to CA Farmers because of a little fish and regulations How about saving it instead, without it........we are all going to be looking at a very grim future.

Reasons to oppose Cap and Trade.

1. It will increase cost of business and businesses will pass on the cost to consumers or go overseas where there is no cap and tax.

2. It will increase your household taxes.  The Congressional Budget office says by "as little" as $175 per year per household, but the Marshall Institute says more like $1,100 and continually rising to almost $3,000 a year by 2050! More Info Here

3. It will increase the size and power of government.  We need to pull the reins in, not let them loose on government.

Write your Senators now.  We probably only have till sometime in September before this comes to vote in the Senate.  You must make your voice heard now. Contact Your State Senators Here via Email

Soon to be up for ratification in the Senate will be LOST.  The UN Law of the Sea Treaty.  It basically grants the UN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING UNDER, ON,  and ABOVE the SEAS and OCEANS.   We need to wake up and remove ourselves from our complacency.  If LOST gets ratified, we will have lost more freedoms.  We won't have veto power like in the UN Council, we'll only have 1 vote within 150 other nations.

Contact Your State Senators Here via Email and tell them to vote NO on LOST



The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ... is perhaps one of the most significant but less recognized 20th century accomplishments in the arena of international law.... Its scope is vast: it covers all ocean space, with all its uses, including navigation and overflight; all uses of all its resources, living and non-living, on the high seas, on the ocean floor and beneath, on the continental shelf and in the territorial seas; the protection of the marine environment; and basic law and order.... The Convention is widely recognized by the international community as the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and the seas must be carried out. ("25th Anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea," Oct. 17, 2007; emphasis added.)

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), also known more simply as the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), says Lout's "scope is vast: it covers all ocean space, with all its uses, including navigation and overflight; all uses of its resources, living and non-living, on the high seas, on the ocean floor and beneath, on the continental shelf and in the territorial seas."

Hillary Clinton has said that she will push this for ratification in January of this year.  See the following video: Where she says the  Hillary Clinton's testimony at her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on January 13. When Senator Murkowski asked Clinton, "Will ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty be a priority for you?" Clinton answered: "Yes, it will be, and it will be because it is long overdue, Senator."

Here's another great clip of Romney on "This Week"

Hey Gang,
Sorry it's been a while since the last post.  We had a life changing event in our family here and it's been a little busy.

Here's Romney on CNN with Blitzer.  I love when Blitzer asks him if he finds comfort in turning to the UN on foreign policy issues.  Romney of course handles it beautifully!
