Col. Karen Kwiatkowski Blasts Bob Goodlatte for unapologetically backing SOPA

2012-01-20T18:50:00.001-05:00

Conservatives are fed-up with big government. Yet, Bob Goodlatte behaves like government isn't big enough.

Consider this --Bob Goodlatte spent 2011 CO-AUTHORINGand INTRODUCING the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

SOPA makes the federal government EVEN BIGGER.

If passed, SOPA will dramatically increase the federal government’s role in our lives, online and offline.

It authorizes the Attorney General to block websites accused of copyright infringement from search engines and ISPs. And it allows the Attorney General to “commence action” against them without a court order.

SOPA will result in fewer independent websites, blogs,media sources, start-ups and tech industry jobs. And as a result, lower quality.

How will it do this, you ask? Simple. It increases the cost of doing business for U.S. tech firms, payment network providers and advertisers. In addition to increasing legal and compliance costs for small businesses, it also increases the size and scope of the federal government.

SOPA expands the State Department, Attorney General's Office, Copyright Office and other agencies and creates a new set of bureaucrats.

Voting Liberty Held Hostage by the Virginia Republican Party?

2012-01-05T14:29:00.000-05:00

Should the Republican Party require those voting in the Republican Primary to sign

a loyalty pledge that says they will vote for the eventual nominee in the General Election?

Or is it against one's liberty for the Party to force them to sign a pledge

that would force them to vote for a person who against their values?

Even top Virginia Republicans want this rescinded:

McDonnell, Bolling want 'loyalty oath' rescinded

I like Ron Paul, except on Foreign Policy

2012-01-05T14:19:00.001-05:00

When people say, "I like Ron Paul, except on Foreign Policy"; are they being inconstant

and contradictory about limited government in their ideology and reasoning?

Remembering 9-11 – 2001-2011–Never Forget!

911 Tribute – Music by Christian band the Fray

We remember all those who died that day as victims to the atrocious acts of a few evil men.

We remember all the hero's that day, the fire fighters and policemen, those that lived and died trying to rescue people.

And, we remember all those who lost their love ones that day. May God comfort them all!

We hope that no one politicizes this day for their own political agendas because this is a day for memorial, reflecting and paying our respect.

Also, finally remember NEVER let our government take away our essential liberties to protect our safety.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~ Ben Franklin

Open Letter to Rick Perry on his Progressive Record

2011-09-07T20:35:00.001-04:00

Governor Perry, let me be clear: It is not that you supported Al Gore that worries us.

It is that you supported Hillary Clinton's health care plan.

You pushed for federal bailout and stimulus funds.

You support welfare for illegal immigrants.

You tried to forcibly vaccinate 12-year-old girls against sexually transmitted diseases by executive order.

Ron Paul with Ronald Reagan

You raised taxes twice.

And, state debt has more than doubled in your tenure as governor, pushing Texas to the brink of our constitutional debt limit.

It's that you supported ALL of these bad ideas that are inconsistent with how most Republicans understand conservatism, yet you now try to swagger your way into the Tea Party.

Governor Perry, with all due respect, you have used great rhetoric. But you will have to answer to the voters of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and across the country as to why that rhetoric does not match your record.

~ Congressman Ron Paul

Lawmakers Trying To Get Rid Of Real ID For Good

2011-04-15T13:06:00.001-04:00

by Rob Poindexter - April 6th 2011 11:16pm (Augusta, Maine)

Republicans, Democrats, and Independents stood together Wednesday in Augusta to speak out in favor of a proposal to get rid of parts of the Federal Real ID Act implemented in Maine under former Governor John Baldacci.

The federal law would eventually link every state drivers license and ID cards to a federal database but only if the federal government can get all states on board.

Real ID would also require facial recognition or retinal scans in order to get a license or state ID.

Real ID might not be as dead in the water as was orginally thought.

2011-01-21T14:33:00.000-05:00

History

In 2005, both houses of Congress passed The Real ID Act, then signed by so-called conservative George W. Bush. The Act failed pass as a stand alone bill several times, but only passed when the sponsors had it tacked onto the back of an Iraq Defense spending bill.

In turn, thirty-four (34) states, including Virginia, enacted anit-real ID legislation that outlawed such provisions that were in the Act from becoming law in their state.

Virginia passed Anti-Real ID Act (SB 1431, HB 1587) which prohibits compliance with Real ID provisions. (Enacted 3/31/09)

Current Virginia Attorney General Ken T. Cuccinelli was the chief patron in the Virginia Senate and Delegate Bob G. Marshall was the Chief Patron in the Virginia House.

Other Senate Patrons: Emmett W. Hanger, Jr., Frederick M. Quayle, Jill Holtzman Vogel

Other House Patrons: Charles W. Carrico, Sr., Anne B. Crockett-Stark, Sal R. Iaquinto, Brenda L. Pogge

Which states enacted legislation and what such legislation entailed.

Virginia Anti-Real ID Patrons

Dangers of Real ID

Real ID mandates RFID readable chips thta cna be read by any one who buys a reader.
Unfunded Mandates on the State governments costing Billions.
A central database that must be shared with all states, localities and in some cases foreign entities.
No statutory limitations on “official purpose”
Creates a federal identity document that every American will need in order to fly on commercial airlines, enter government buildings, open a bank account, and more.

The language says that those who don't have it can't participate in "Federal Activity", which is rather vague language that could be stretched into anything that comes under Federal Jurisdiction.

Here is a list of a few things that come under Federal Jurisdiction, law or oversight:

Getting a loan to buy a home, opening a bank account, getting any regular loan, getting a student loan, a car loan, refinancing your home, buying a gun, selling products across state lines, flying in a plane, driving your car (if your doesn't offer a state Drivers license alternative to real ID), getting a JOB, possibly crossing state lines (especially if the next state doesn't recognize your non-Real Id state license) and the list goes on and on and on.

Real ID Resurfaces

Computerworld.com reports:

"A controversial 2005 bill designed to create a national standard for driver's licenses may not be quite as dead in the water as many might have assumed, according to a report released this week by the Center for Immigration Studies." (Read More Here)

It goes on to say how the Federal government is trying everything they can to re-implement this draconian Nazi style identification system which will limit your freedom of choice and movement . The States rejected it but they keep trying to find new ways to enforce it on us against the wishes of the states and the People.

So tell every one you can to call their Local, State and Federal Officials and urge them to fight a national ID of any kind.

Why should conservatives vote for Rino and a big government republican like Eric Cantor?

2010-09-02T18:57:00.000-04:00

Many people would try and convince you to re-elect Eric Cantor. But why would any freedom loving constitutionalist American want to do that?

Eric Cantor talks the talk but he doesn't walk the walk. We as conservatives can't let people like Eric Cantor steal our money in the guise of working for us just because there is an R by their name, and they talk the talk.

All a good conservative has to do is deeply check into Eric Cantor's voting record (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=400060) and they will see he is no conservative, at least not the definition you and I have.

Mr. Cantor voted for both bailouts, he made sure earmarks went to the bank where his wife is an executive, he voted for the big government boon-dongle No Child Left Behind, he voted for a new Medicare entitlement the Medicare Prescription Drug Program when Medicare is already broken and the list goes on and on and on and on.

He has lost touch with the people and has actually never been a real conservative.

If every real conservative would jump off of Captain Eric Cantor and his Republican Big Government Ship, and vote for Floyd Bayne, the Only Conservative in the Virginia 7th District Race, then he will be our next Congressman. So, look into Cantor's Record and look into Floyd Bayne for Congress at:

Someone's really starting to ask the real questions now! You'd better loosen your collar if you're going to shake your head 'no' as fast as you can while saying 'yes'.

You think you're friends with the press? Well guess what -- patriotism runs deeper. I'll bet you're still shaking your head! AHA, HERE'S the reason you won't address your constituents or debate your opponents . . . because you can't fight the PATRIOT in US!

Virginia on Dangerous Papers Please Road of Arizona

2010-08-03T13:18:00.001-04:00

I am against the police being able to ask for immigration status, even if they must stop you for a legit stop. The potential for abuse is staggering. One Example: What if you left your license at home which we have all done, now if you can't prove you are legal, then they can detain you until you can prove your legality, at their discretion.

Or, If the cops or a government official doesn't like you, say cause they read your bumper stickers, or know you of you and your political views, then they can use this to harass you. A cop can make up any 'legit' reason to pull you.

In Arizona they can stop you while walking and you must produce and prove who you are. Walking???? America is a free country and we don't have to carry ID or papers when walking. There is a new Virginia Bill being passed around that is so vague that it could include them stopping you while walking.

Also, currently if I am a passenger I don't have to have ID on me, but under this Arizona type decision in Virginia and especially if that bill passes in VA, then if as a passenger I don't have ID then they can detain me.

Are we resigned to the fact that we must carry papers anywhere we go as passengers or walking down the street. I Refuse! I will fight these Nazi style carry papers please laws til my dying breath. Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!

I am Glad the judge struck down the egregious parts of the Arizona Law. I love Ken Cuccinelli, and his work defeating the Individual Mandate of Obamacare, but shame on him for basically creating an Attorney General Executive order to make us carry our papers.

McDonnell signs Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act

2010-03-24T20:46:00.000-04:00

JR Hoeft | Mar 24, 2010 |

9Share

Gov. Bob McDonnell reminded everyone today who enacts law in the Commonwealth of Virginia when he ceremonially signed Virginia’s Health Care Freedom Act, setting up a challenge between the commonwealth and the Federal government.

Flanked by Sen. Steve Martin and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, and also joined by Sen. Jill Vogel, Sen. Fred Quayle and Del. Bob Marshall, the governor signed the four pieces of legislation that preserve the choice of all Virginians from having to pay for health care they don’t need, want, or can’t afford.

“We all agree that we must expand access to quality health care and reduce costs for all Virginians. However, that should not be accomplished through an unprecedented federal mandate on individuals that we believe violates the U.S. Constitution,” said McDonnell. “The Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act sets as the policy of the Commonwealth that no individual, with several specific exceptions, can be required to purchase health insurance coverage. The Act was passed with bipartisan support, in sharp contrast to the narrow straight line partisan vote that enacted the federal health care bill on Sunday night. Virginia’s Healthcare Freedom Act received the votes of leading Democratic Senators, as well as the Democratic House Minority Leader. It was an important step to sign this bipartisan legislation today.”

This sets the legal standing for Virginia’s challenge to the Healthcare Reform Act recently signed into law by the President.

“The traditional role of the attorney general is to defend Virginia’s laws,” said Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccineilli. “It is now my job to vigorously defend this law from the federal government’s overreach of the Constitution and its attempted encroachment on the rights of Virginians. That is my mandate, and that is my promise to our citizens.”
