		<description><![CDATA[The Break is when we should be organizing!! READ ON!!

SEND THIS BLOG TO 10 PEOPLE AND THEM TO 10 AND SO ON TILL ONE MILLION PEOPLE GET IT.

LETS ELECT CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTARIANS TO THE US HOUSE AND US SENATE 
WHO WILL IN TURN RECALL AND OUST FEDERAL JUDGES WHO POINT THE GUNS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT UPON THE STATES FOR NOT COMLYING WITH THEIR MANDATES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOISTED UNLAWFULLY UPON THE STATES.

The 10th amendment makes it clear that only a handful of custodial duties are assigned to the Congress and that the innumerable other objects are to the sovereign states.

Prinz v. United States (95-1478) 521 U.S. 898 (1997) states:
&quot;the conferral upon Congress of not all governmental powers, but only discreet enumerated ones.&quot; The states or other political subdivisions, &quot;are not subject to federal direction.&quot; 

Federalist Paper #39 states, &quot;...the local and municipal authorities from distinct and independent portions of supremacy, no more subject, with their respective spheres, to the general authority (federal government) than the general is subject to them within its own sphere.&quot;

In other words, the federal government has no more authority to impose its cap and trade mandates on the sovereign states; their health care mandates on the sovereign states than Russia has to impose the same upon our sovereign states.
Our only problem is that the federal judges will point the guns of the federal government on our sovereign states for not complying with their illegal encroachments of our sovereignties.

Marchetti v. U.S. 390 U.S., 39, 57 states: &quot;If the exercise of a constitutional right can become the cause for imprisonment, the Constitution has beennullified and there is no security from omnipotent government.&quot;

YES WE CAN. Sound familiar? We can elect an entire Congress of Constitutionally Libertarian US Reps and US Senators who will then in turn fire all of these federal judges replacing them with constitutionally responsible ones and therefore recapturing our liberties and our rightful sovereignties without any violence. WE MUST DO THIS SOON.

Send the word out and organize to take back our sovereignties. Thank you

A Friend of Liberty,
Ronald Pray]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Either SUE to stop the overreach of power or Ammend the Constitution to limit the power.&quot;

ChapMan,  I would like to bring your attention to your own quote above. Particularly the part: &quot;. . .ammend the Constitution to limit power.&quot;

Exactly what do you think the Tenth Amendment is? Freakin&#039; CHOPPED LIVER???

The Constitution placed limits on the power of the Federal government before it was ever ratified by the first State. NONE of the States would have ratified it without the Tenth Amendment&#039;s limit on its power. 

As for several of the items and grievances you laid at the feet of G. W. Bush (No. 43), I can agree with several of them. Particularly the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. (Sounds like Stalin himself came up with the name.) The TSA oversteps its authority on frequent occasion, and just about any other government agency that has been granted power since the FBI was first created has become little more than another Sturm Abteilung type agency in the pursuit of defining their own missions to satisfy their own needs to dominate Joe Citizen should Joe Citizen decide to exercise his &quot;unalienable&quot; rights bestowed upon him by his Creator.

Seems like you and I both desire the unfettered freedom of the individual citizen, but our difference lies in how we each view the Constitution. You seem to view it as a list of powers the Federal government has, and that further powers for the Federal government may be inferred. I view the Constitution as a LIMIT on Federal powers and authority, and see no Federal authority or power to exist except where specifically given in specific verbiage.

Do I desire anarchy? No. I desire a rule of law. Democracy? No. That&#039;s little more than mob rule. I firmly believe in the Representatives to the US House being elected by the PEOPLE directly. I also believe, however, that since the Senate of the US Congress is to represent the States that comprise this Federation, that they should be duly elected or appointed by the legislative bodies of those states. As it is now, Senators are little more than slightly higher paid Representatives of the people, and represent their respective States only in the least possible capacity.

Finally, I am a firm believer of the Electoral College. Not because it allowed for the election of George Bush over Gore, but because it tempers an election and demonstrates how, just as in the Congress with equal representation in the Senate, smaller States can prevent being railroaded by larger States.

I find that you may do well, however, to do a little study of the terms:
Socialism; fascism; Nazi (it&#039;s short for National Socialist Party); democracy, republic, anarchy, and oligarchy. These words are also part of the English language and have very real meanings. It is unfortunate for our nation that popular usage of these terms is rarely even within cannon-shot of the actual definitions of these terms. 

I have yet to understand how so many have fallen as willing accessories to the Democrat party in their continued dissolution of the Republic all the while readily giving up their heretofore unalienable rights for the warm wing of a domineering matriarch of a federal government.

Republicans are little better, as they carry us toward that abyss that is socialism at a speed of 70 miles per hour as opposed to the Democrat party&#039;s speed of 90 miles per hour.

I am finding my political beliefs tend to be more and more aligned with the Constitutional Party, if one must align himself with a political party.

But again, we digress, following the red herring which distracts our noses from the scent of the fox. So to get back on track. . .Kudos to Indiana, Texas, and the other twenty-some-odd States who dare to stand up to Federal tyranny and reassert their sovereignty as STATES, and to demand that the Federal government reassess its position on a good many things which it has unconstitutionally enacted!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Farquar, Freddie Mac! Are you kidding? That one and the fiction that it&#039;s the fault of the labor unions is as tired as the rest of the dribble that passes as &quot;fair and balanced&quot; on the Faux News Network! 

Look up the Graham-Leach-Bailey Act of 1999, also known as the Investment Securities Moderization Act of 1999. It was the ticking time bomb that precipitated the entire chain of events that led to the crash. Another fine piece of Republican Deregulation! It allowed private banks, investment banks and Insurance companies (AIG) to merge and therefore comingle funds and avoid regulation. They merged and created &quot;Companies too big to fail&quot; which in turn created sophisticated derivatives and credit default swaps that they marketed world-wide. AIG, then declared them AAA investments. To assure nervous investors, AIG than sold the same investors insurance against default on these &quot;assets&quot;. Because they were unregulated, AIG was able to sell insurance on each of these derivitives to as many investors as wanted to buy them (A.K.A Ponzie scheme). This would be like nine of your neighbors buying fire insurance on YOUR house! If your house burns down, they have to pay ALL NINE &quot;investors&quot;. When the Graham-Leach-Bailey Act was passed only 486 billion dollars worth of these instruments were on the world-wide market. By March 2007 (when the Dow crashed-under the Bush Administration) AIG and other investment banks were insuring 62 TRILLION  dollars worth! Because there was no regulation, AIG and the other investment banks did not have the reserves set aside to honor their obligations. The first bank to fail, in March of 2007, only had reserves of 3% of their obligations! Investors panicked and the rest is history!

THINK ABOUT IT! Even now only 10-12% of all mortgages are late or in default. Would that cause a World Wide Crash? Follow the MONEY! Do you realize that most of the bail-out money we gave to Wall Street was immediately paid out to French and German banks to cover these debts? George Soros, an old nemisis of the Republican Party knew about it. He bought up these insurance policies and made a killing. He personally earned 1.2 Billion dollars last year! Many people knew, including foreign banks.

Many people knew and betted against the system. It had all been predicted by  people back in 1999. It was not a surprise! How did they Know? They knew because it had happened before in 1933! History does repeat! F.D.R. and his economic team passed an act called The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 less than 100 days after taking office. It regulated the banks and made it illegal for private banks, investment banks and insurance companies from forming monolopies, which they ascertained caused the first Great Depression. The Graham-Leach-Bailey Act repealed the Glass-Steagall Act protections!

The Republican Party worked for over 70 years to repeal the &quot;New Deal&quot;. Graham-Leach-Bailey was the Coup de Grace of those efforts. Glass-Steagall protected us for 70+years. It only took 7 years after Graham-Leach-Bailey to trash the world economy! Why do you think the Republican Party has been working overtime to pass a law to end taxation of CAPITAL GAINS? They don&#039;t want to pay taxes on the money they robbed from the American Public (your 401K, retirement accounts and home equity). Even now, the center piece of their 2009 Republican Fudget, is the repeal of any Capital Gains Tax and a drop in the highest tax bracket from 35% to 25%! 

The Republican Party has been using &quot;Regular Joes&quot; to push their agenda for as long as anyone can remember. They get the &quot;Regular Joes&quot; to vote against their own interests by pushing hot button issues like abortion, gay marriage and gun rights, all the while advancing the interests of big business and theives on Wall Street. If only we gave a little more money to the &quot;investor&quot; class, it would GROW the economy. Sound familiar? 

Well, if you&#039;re not part of the &quot;Investor&quot; class, you probably know by now (or SHOULD know by now) that your 401k is caput, your home equity is gone, your retirement is gone and in many cases your JOB is gone! It&#039;s NOT going to trickle down! The Investor class is pissing down your back and telling YOU it&#039;s raining! They&#039;re money is safe in a Swiss band account or invested in China or Abu Dhabi! They and the Republican Party thank you! You&#039;ve been their &quot;Bitch&quot;!

As for SOCIALISM, the socialism practiced in America is as simple as your car insurance or health insurance. Is insurance the kind of socialism you want to eliminate? Can you afford to replace your home if it burns down or your car if someone steals it? We all contribute to the insurance pool in case it&#039;s our home that burns, our car that gets stolen, our heart that fails! We build public roads, water systems, electrical grids, hospitals and libraries. The Republican Party and Faux News uses this word to scare you because the American public associates it with the evil empire that used to be known as The Soviet Union. The Republican Party and Faux News started using this term because they have worn out the old term,Communist, these past 8 years. Most recently they have begun to use the terms Facist and Nazi. Their reasoning is that these terms are even more frightening than Socialist. PEOPLE! They are trying to scare you! An enraged public is much easier to control- they&#039;ll even vote against their own best interests!

Oh, Screw it! You probably won&#039;t get it anyway!]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Farquar, Freddie Mac! Are you kidding? That one and the fiction that it&#8217;s the fault of the labor unions is as tired as the rest of the dribble that passes as &#8220;fair and balanced&#8221; on the Faux News Network! </p>
<p>Look up the Graham-Leach-Bailey Act of 1999, also known as the Investment Securities Moderization Act of 1999. It was the ticking time bomb that precipitated the entire chain of events that led to the crash. Another fine piece of Republican Deregulation! It allowed private banks, investment banks and Insurance companies (AIG) to merge and therefore comingle funds and avoid regulation. They merged and created &#8220;Companies too big to fail&#8221; which in turn created sophisticated derivatives and credit default swaps that they marketed world-wide. AIG, then declared them AAA investments. To assure nervous investors, AIG than sold the same investors insurance against default on these &#8220;assets&#8221;. Because they were unregulated, AIG was able to sell insurance on each of these derivitives to as many investors as wanted to buy them (A.K.A Ponzie scheme). This would be like nine of your neighbors buying fire insurance on YOUR house! If your house burns down, they have to pay ALL NINE &#8220;investors&#8221;. When the Graham-Leach-Bailey Act was passed only 486 billion dollars worth of these instruments were on the world-wide market. By March 2007 (when the Dow crashed-under the Bush Administration) AIG and other investment banks were insuring 62 TRILLION  dollars worth! Because there was no regulation, AIG and the other investment banks did not have the reserves set aside to honor their obligations. The first bank to fail, in March of 2007, only had reserves of 3% of their obligations! Investors panicked and the rest is history!</p>
<p>THINK ABOUT IT! Even now only 10-12% of all mortgages are late or in default. Would that cause a World Wide Crash? Follow the MONEY! Do you realize that most of the bail-out money we gave to Wall Street was immediately paid out to French and German banks to cover these debts? George Soros, an old nemisis of the Republican Party knew about it. He bought up these insurance policies and made a killing. He personally earned 1.2 Billion dollars last year! Many people knew, including foreign banks.</p>
<p>Many people knew and betted against the system. It had all been predicted by  people back in 1999. It was not a surprise! How did they Know? They knew because it had happened before in 1933! History does repeat! F.D.R. and his economic team passed an act called The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 less than 100 days after taking office. It regulated the banks and made it illegal for private banks, investment banks and insurance companies from forming monolopies, which they ascertained caused the first Great Depression. The Graham-Leach-Bailey Act repealed the Glass-Steagall Act protections!</p>
<p>The Republican Party worked for over 70 years to repeal the &#8220;New Deal&#8221;. Graham-Leach-Bailey was the Coup de Grace of those efforts. Glass-Steagall protected us for 70+years. It only took 7 years after Graham-Leach-Bailey to trash the world economy! Why do you think the Republican Party has been working overtime to pass a law to end taxation of CAPITAL GAINS? They don&#8217;t want to pay taxes on the money they robbed from the American Public (your 401K, retirement accounts and home equity). Even now, the center piece of their 2009 Republican Fudget, is the repeal of any Capital Gains Tax and a drop in the highest tax bracket from 35% to 25%! </p>
<p>The Republican Party has been using &#8220;Regular Joes&#8221; to push their agenda for as long as anyone can remember. They get the &#8220;Regular Joes&#8221; to vote against their own interests by pushing hot button issues like abortion, gay marriage and gun rights, all the while advancing the interests of big business and theives on Wall Street. If only we gave a little more money to the &#8220;investor&#8221; class, it would GROW the economy. Sound familiar? </p>
<p>Well, if you&#8217;re not part of the &#8220;Investor&#8221; class, you probably know by now (or SHOULD know by now) that your 401k is caput, your home equity is gone, your retirement is gone and in many cases your JOB is gone! It&#8217;s NOT going to trickle down! The Investor class is pissing down your back and telling YOU it&#8217;s raining! They&#8217;re money is safe in a Swiss band account or invested in China or Abu Dhabi! They and the Republican Party thank you! You&#8217;ve been their &#8220;Bitch&#8221;!</p>
