He never stopped fighting and continued to amaze us with his strength even in his final moments.&amp;nbsp; He was an amazing man and an even more amazing father.&amp;nbsp; You will find his obituary, a memorial video and information regarding donations&amp;nbsp;that may be made in his name&amp;nbsp;at the following link: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I suggest that each of us should copy and paste this alert onto a clean piece of paper and send it to your elected representatives. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s get in the game NOW, and strike while the iron is hot! We have to let the elites in Washington, both Republican and Democrat, that the American People are fed up with these power grabs. &amp;nbsp; We are &quot;mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore&quot;... As the famous Eddie Chiles, the former Texas Rangers Baseball Team owner would say....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;Thanks,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;Bill Reid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;As a taxpaying American citizen, I recognize that the misnamed “Affordable” Care Act is the “train wreck” most Americans and many in Congress feared it would be. No level of lies and deceit by President Obama and his administration is going to change the grim reality that millions and millions of Americans will lose their desired health care plan under ObamaCare. They’ll also be forced to deal with increased premiums, higher deductibles and copays, and lesser care with physicians who are not their own. I’m sending you an “ObamaCare Cancellation Notice” to let you know that We the People reject the President’s hostile takeover of America’s health care system. Please know that I will NOT, under any circumstances, vote for or support any politician who does not work to immediately cancel ObamaCare and who fails to reject the lies that continue to follow in its destructive wake -&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://voicesofoutrage.blogspot.com/2013/11/obamacare-cancellation-notice.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bill Reid)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044726911597124844.post-3937642892428807400</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Nov 2013 14:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-11-08T06:48:14.194-08:00</atom:updated><title>Is Obama Finally Seeing The Light?</title><description>Yesterday Obama said in an interview that he was &quot;sorry&quot; that his Obamacare Law had caused&amp;nbsp; so many people to loose their insurance coverage.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m having trouble believing that he is really sincere, but I will accept his apology at face value.&amp;nbsp; But what is an apology to those who are suffering through the debacle that is being heaped upon the American People?&amp;nbsp; Certainly not enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he actually is beginning to see that the law that was passed &lt;strong&gt;(crammed down the collective throats of the American People by a&amp;nbsp;partisan Democrat legislative maneuver)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;over&amp;nbsp;three years ago is the reason for all the angst and suffering that we are beginning to see develop across the nation, then why should he limit his action to a simple, verbal, apology?&amp;nbsp; Why not DO something that is substantive and meaningful, that WILL actually take the burden off those who were happy with what they had and the doctors that they were using?&amp;nbsp; Maybe give in to the calls for repeal of the Law?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And where are the Republicans?&amp;nbsp; Wouldn&#39;t now be a good time to ponce on the President for continuing to push his miserable mess upon the American People?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think we can all do a little something to help.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among these are letters to your congressional representatives.&amp;nbsp; If you live in a state where you are represented by Republicans, you will probably just be preaching to the choir, so to speak, but your letters, faxes and phone calls of support for their efforts will help to keep them motivated to action and possibly vote the right way when an effort to clear all this up finally comes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another thing that many of us can do is write letters to the editors of our newspapers opinion page.&amp;nbsp; I know it doesn&#39;t sound like much, but a couple of paragraphs that register your disgust or displeasure with the events that are literally tearing this country apart could have an impact on the readers of your local paper and maybe spur them to take action as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;ll make an offer to anyone who is interested in writing to your newspapers&#39; editor... and that is, if you will do it, I will provide you with the email address of the editor.&amp;nbsp; I just happen to have such information on over 1200 different editors around the country.&amp;nbsp; If you are interested, just send me an email to &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:bill@billreid.info&quot;&gt;bill@billreid.info&lt;/a&gt; and tell me which news papers in your area that you are interested in writing to, and I&#39;ll get you the information that I have as&amp;nbsp;soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we all take a little time and make the effort, I know we can make a difference.&amp;nbsp; But we have to do it and we have to do it now.</description><link>http://voicesofoutrage.blogspot.com/2013/11/is-obama-finally-seeing-light.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bill Reid)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044726911597124844.post-6231817819703764170</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 14:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-05-21T07:21:52.579-07:00</atom:updated><title>Do You Oppose A National ID Card?</title><description>If you do, then you need to watch the short&amp;nbsp;video message from Dr. Ron Paul&amp;nbsp;and sign the petition that goes with it.&lt;br /&gt;

Again!</title><description>I have an invitation, a special offer, from the NRA here on my desk urging me to &quot;rejoin&quot; the National Rifle Association.&amp;nbsp; Somehow I managed to let my membership lapse.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I got an email from a friend with a link to a video describing the situation as it has come to exist along our Southern border.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s a video that was made and distributed by the NRA.&amp;nbsp; Here&#39;s the link&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://videos.allinnra.com/share#.UQr8Dx3LSRg&quot;&gt;http://videos.allinnra.com/share#.UQr8Dx3LSRg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;I hope you will take a few minutes to view the video, and then take another few minutes to join the NRA right from the site where you&#39;ll see the video.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; It doesn&#39;t matter whether you are currently a gun owner or whether you believe in hunting or other types of sport shooting.&amp;nbsp; That&#39;s not what this is all about.&amp;nbsp; This is about the loss of our freedoms, and not just the freedom to keep and bear arms.&amp;nbsp; This is about the loss of some of our citizens&amp;nbsp;of having the freedom to come and go as they please on their own property here in the United States.&amp;nbsp; We have to stand together and joining the NRA is another way to make a statement to the &quot;elitists&quot; in Washington D. C. who are currently ignoring the criminal interests that are gradually taking over and operating in sovereign territory of the United States, an encroachment that has to be stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog post and I hope you will do as I am about to do and give as much support to the NRA as you possibly can.</description><link>http://voicesofoutrage.blogspot.com/2013/01/im-stepping-up-for-america-again.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bill Reid)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044726911597124844.post-7074590608547892432</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-01-21T16:36:58.841-08:00</atom:updated><title>If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?</title><description>&lt;h2 class=&quot;entry-title&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px currentColor; clear: both; color: black; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: bold 21px/1.3em &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Arial, Helvetica, &amp;quot;Nimbus Sans L&amp;quot;, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot;&gt;

Thinking about the possibility of rising up against our own government is a frightening thing for many of us. I am not Johnny Rambo and I will be the first to admit that I do not want to die. The reason I feel compelled to write this, however, is simply because&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;I don’t think the average American is equipped with the facts.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I feel that a lot of American citizens feel like they have no choice but to surrender their guns if the government comes for them. I blame traditional media sources for this mass brainwash and I carry the responsibility of all small independent bloggers to tell the truth. So my focus today is to lay out your constitutional rights as an American, and let you decide what to do with those rights.&lt;span id=&quot;more-1680&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
About a month ago I let the “democracy” word slip in a discussion with a fellow blogger. I know better. Americans have been conditioned to use this term. It’s not an accurate term and it never has been a correct term to describe our form of government.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;The truth is that the United States of America is a constitutional republic.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;This is similar to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic elections, but ultimately&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;our representatives are required to work within the framework of our constitution.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;In other words, even if 90% of Americans want something that goes against our founding principles, they have no right to call for a violation of constitutional rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
If you are religious you might choose to think of it this way… Say that members of your congregation decide that mass fornication is a good thing.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Do they have the right to change the teachings of your God? The truth is the truth.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It doesn’t matter how many people try to stray from it. Did I just compare our founders to God? In a way I did, but please note that I am not trying to insult anyone. For the purpose of the American Government our constitution and founders who wrote it are much like God is to believers. It is the law. It is indisputable.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Our founders did not want a “democracy” for they feared a true democracy was just as dangerous as a monarchy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The founders were highly educated people who were experienced in defending themselves against tyranny. They understood that the constitution could protect the people by limiting the power of anyone to work outside of it much better than a pure system of popularity. A system of checks and balances was set up to help limit corruption of government and also&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;the potential for an “immoral majority” developing within the American People&lt;/strong&gt;. We have forgotten in this country that we are ultimately ruled by a constitution.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Why is a democracy potentially just as dangerous as a monarchy? Let’s look at something that Benjamin Franklin said because it answers that question more fully and succinctly than I can.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3em; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -Benjamin Franklin&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Even 230+ years ago our founders were perceptive enough to realize that democracy was a dangerous form of government. How so? Because the&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;citizens of a country can become just as corrupt as any government.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;We have seen evidence of this throughout history. Ask Native Americans and African-Americans if this population can become corrupt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
I think in 2012 we are seeing evidence of what Franklin was trying to tell us. Just because a majority of people may support certain ideas it does not mean that those ideas are just. In simple terms, just because most Americans love our president and voted for him, it does not mean that he has the power to go against our constitutional rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Next I’d like to review the text of the second amendment. It is very clear. This is the law of this land. So when&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Senator Feinstein&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;or&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;President Obama&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;talk about taking your guns, you need to think about something.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Are they honoring their sworn oath to uphold the constitution?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3em; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://dcclothesline.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/if-they-come-for-your-guns-do-you-have-a-responsibility-to-fight/supreme/&quot; rel=&quot;attachment wp-att-1688&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; color: #743399; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;supreme&quot; class=&quot;alignleft size-full wp-image-1688&quot; src=&quot;http://dcclothesline.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/supreme.jpg?w=640&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: currentColor; display: inline; float: left; height: auto; margin: 4px 24px 12px 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is a pretty clear statement. The fact is that it took 232 years for the Supreme Court to even rule on this amendment because it has never been successfully challenged. In 2008 a case of&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Columbia v. Heller&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the Supreme Court ruled that&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;a handgun ban in Washington D.C. was unconstitutional.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;One also has to take this into consideration. The Supreme Court supports your right to own guns. If you want to research this decision further you can&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment02/&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; color: #743399; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;start here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
For those who try to debate the spirit of the 2nd amendment, they are truly no different from people who will try to take Biblical quotes out of context to try to support their immoral decisions. The founders were very clear on the intent of the 2nd amendment. Let me share a few quick quotes here:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 3em; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. -George Washington&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
The Constitution shall never be construed….to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. -Samuel Adams&lt;/div&gt;

This is crystal clear. Ironically the people who voice their opinions against this right have their free speech protected by your guns.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Without guns in this country, all other amendments become null and void, simply because “We the People” will lose our power of enforcement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
We need to keep this in mind as our “representatives” try to push gun bans.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;I don’t care if 99% of people are in support of gun bans (which is far from the case), it is a violation of our constitutional rights, plain and simple.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
A constitutional republic protects the rights of the individual even when their ideas are very much &amp;nbsp;in the minority. If I were the only person in America who believed in the 2nd amendment, I would still be within my rights to call upon it. You would all think I was insane and possibly celebrate if I was gunned down, but in the end I would be the only true American among us.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Our framers were very clear on this. If my government comes to take my guns, they are violating one of my constitutional rights that is covered by the 2nd amendment.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

The time for speaking in code is over.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;If they come for our guns then it is our constitutional right to put them six feet under.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;You have the right to kill any representative of this government who tries to tread on your liberty. I am thinking about self-defense and not talking about inciting a revolution. Re-read Jefferson’s quote. He talks about a “last resort.” I am not trying to start a Revolt, I am talking about self-defense. If the day for Revolution comes, when no peaceful options exist, we may have to talk about that as well. None of us wants to think about that, but please understand that a majority can not take away your rights as an American citizen. Only you can choose to give up your rights.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Congress could pass gun ban legislation by a 90%+ margin and it just would not matter. I think some people are very unclear on this. This is the reason we have a Supreme Court, and though I do not doubt that the Supreme Court can also become corrupt, in 2008 they got it right. They supported the constitution.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;It does not matter what the majority supports because America is not a democracy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;A constitutional republic protects the rights of every single citizen, no matter what their “elected servants” say.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;A majority in America only matters when the constitution is not in play.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
I just wrote what every believer in the constitution wants to say, and what every constitutional blogger needs to write. The truth of the matter is that this type of speech is viewed as dangerous and radical or subversive, and it could gain me a world of trouble that I do not want. It is also the truth. To make myself clear I will tell you again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;If they come for your guns it is your right to use those guns against them and to kill them. You are protected by our constitution.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Most of the articles I am reading on the subject are trying to give you clues without just coming out and saying it. I understand that because certain things in this country will get you on a list that you don’t want to be on. I may well be on that list. This blog is small and growing so I may not be there yet, but I have dreams. I also have my own list of subversives and anyone who attempts to deny my constitutional rights is on that list.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
I am not the “subversive” here, it is the political representatives who are threatening to take away my inalienable rights. If they come to take my guns and I leave a few of them wounded or dead, and I somehow survive, I have zero doubt that I will spend a long time in prison and may face an execution. But&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;I would much rather be a political prisoner than a slave.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
If I go down fighting then I was not fighting to harm these human beings. I was simply defending my liberty and yours. It is self-defense and it is what our country was built on. We won our freedom in self-defense.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;We would not be ruled by a tyrannical government in the 1770′s and we will not be ruled in 2012 by a tyrannical government. There is no difference.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
This is a case of right and wrong. As of now the 2nd amendment stands. It has never been repealed.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;If Feinstein or Barack have a problem with the constitution then they should be removed from office.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;They are not defending the constitution which they have sworn an oath to protect. It is treasonous to say the least. They would likely say the same about me, but I have the constitution, the founders, and the supreme court on my side. They only have their inflated egos.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
I am not writing this to incite people. I am writing this in hopes that somehow I can make a tiny difference. I have no idea how many of my neighbors have the will to defend their constitutional rights. 2%? 20%? I am afraid that 20% is a high number, unfortunately.&lt;strong style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;When push comes to shove many people may give up and submit to being ruled. I believe that our government is banking on this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

My question is how many Patriots are left?&lt;/div&gt;

I would hope that our officials come to realize that, regardless of our numbers, we still exist because they are calling Patriotic Americans to action. They are making us decide if we want to die free or submit to their rule. I can not tell you where you should stand on that. I do know that it may make the difference between living a life of freedom or slavery.&lt;/div&gt;

Not all conspiracy theories are hogwash. They may throw down the gauntlet soon and my suggestion is that you prepare yourself to react.&lt;/div&gt;

I mean no disrespect to our elected officials but they need to understand that “We the People” will not be disarmed. If they proceed then it is they that are provoking us and we will act accordingly. We are within our rights to do so.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px currentColor; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
For those who are in support of taking the guns, you need to ask yourself a very important question, and I am not just talking about the politicians, because if you support them, you have chosen your side.&lt;/div&gt;

I had never thought about this...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Allow me to restate that number: Over 600,000!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the last several months, Wisconsin&#39;s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More men under arms than in Iran.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than France and Germany combined.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed*.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan&#39;s 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely*. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It&#39;s millions more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(*Correction-Disclaimer:&amp;nbsp; Actually, unlike 2010 and 2011 when there were no hunting related fatalities, there have been 2 firearm related deaths so far in 2012.&amp;nbsp; The same&amp;nbsp;can&amp;nbsp;generally be said&amp;nbsp;of Pennsylvania and&amp;nbsp;West Virginia&amp;nbsp;as well as other states where hunting is a very popular sport, but in relation to the numbers of hunters, the percentage of firearms related deaths is very low.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The point?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.&amp;nbsp; Hunting.... it&#39;s not just a way to fill the freezer.. &lt;strong&gt;It&#39;s a matter of national security.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
***************************************&lt;br /&gt;That&#39;s why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Food for thought, when next we consider gun control.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Overall it&#39;s true*, so if we disregard some assumptions that hunters don&#39;t possess the same skills as soldiers, the question would still remain... what army of 2 million would want to face 30, 40, 50 million armed citizens.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;For the sake of our freedom, don&#39;t ever allow gun control or confiscation of guns.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(IF YOU AGREE, AS I DO, PASS IT ON.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I FEEL GOOD THAT I HAVE AN ARMY OF MILLIONS WHO WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO&amp;nbsp;PROTECT OUR LAND AND I SURE DON&#39;T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TAKING CONTROL OF THE POSSESSION OF FIREARMS)&lt;br /&gt;

The remaining workers must find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wall Street and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of &quot;tough decision&quot;, and the board of directors gives upper corporate management big bonuses&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our government should not be immune from similar risks.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore:&lt;br /&gt;Reduce the House of Representatives from the current&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;435 members to 218 members.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reduce Senate members from 1&lt;u&gt;00 to 50&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;(one per State). Then, reduce their remaining staff by 25%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accomplish this over the next 8 years (two steps/two elections) and of course this would require some redistricting.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Yearly Monetary Gains Include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$44,108,400&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;for elimination of base pay for congress. (267 members X $165,200 pay/member/ yr.)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$437,100,000&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;for elimination of their staff. (Estimate $1.3 Million in staff per each member of the House, and $3 Million in staff per each member of the Senate every year)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$108,350,000&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the reduction in remaining staff by 25%.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$7,500,000,000&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;reduction in pork barrel earmarks each year. (Those members whose jobs are gone. Current estimates for total government pork earmarks are at&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;$15 Billion/yr&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The remaining representatives would need to work&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;smarter and improve&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;efficiencies.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;It might even be in&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;their best interests to work together for the good of our country!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We may also expect that smaller committees might lead to a more efficient resolution of issues as well.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;It might even be easier to keep track of what your representative is doing.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress has more tools available to do their jobs than it had back in 1911 when the current number of representatives was established. (Telephone, computers, cell phones to name a few)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress does not hesitate to head home for extended weekends, holidays and recesses, when what the nation needs is a real fix for economic problems. Also, we had 3 senators who&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;were not doing their jobs for the 18+ months (on the campaign trail) and still they all accepted full pay. Minnesota survived very well with only one senator for the first half of this year. These facts alone support a reduction in senators and congress.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary of&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;opportunity:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$44,108,400 reduction of congress members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$282,100,000 for elimination of the reduced house member staff.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$150,000,000 for elimination of reduced senate member staff.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$70,850,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining house members.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$37,500,000 for 25% reduction of staff for remaining senate members.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$7,500,000,000 reduction in pork added to bills by the reduction of congress members.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$8,084,558,400 per year, estimated total savings. (That&#39;s 8-BILLION just to start!)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corporate America does these types of cuts all the time.&lt;br /&gt;There&#39;s even a name for it.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Downsizing.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, if Congresspersons were required to serve 20, 25 or 30 years (like everyone else) in order to collect retirement benefits, taxpayers could save a bundle.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now they get full retirement after serving only&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;ONE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;term.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;IF you are happy with how Washington spends our taxes, delete this message.&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, it &#39;s time to &quot;downsize&quot; Congress&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Please consider forwarding,&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;if you agree&lt;/u&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By copying and pasting it, I &#39;m sending it to you in hopes that you will keep it going and keep it clean. This is something I believe in and I hope you all read it all the way through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months and 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971&amp;nbsp;...&amp;nbsp;before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land&amp;nbsp;...&amp;nbsp;all because of public pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congressional Reform Act of 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. Two Six-year Senate terms&lt;br /&gt;B. Six Two-year House terms&lt;br /&gt;C.&amp;nbsp;One&amp;nbsp;Six-year Senate term and three&amp;nbsp;Two-Year House terms&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;No Tenure&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;/&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;No Pension&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;no pay&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;when they are out of office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Congress (past&amp;nbsp;, present and future) participates in Social Security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;did not&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s),&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;then go home&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;back to work&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;LET &#39;S FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree, you can do more than just pass it on, you can actually become a part of a NEW Message Acceleration System that will almost guarantee that everyone in America with an email box will have an opportunity to read the message and become a contributing member of a group of Americans who want to resolve the congressional deadlock that we are currently dealing with. &lt;a href=&quot;http://billreid.info/mas.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Go to this site&lt;/a&gt; to learn more about how it works.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;The average age of the world&#39;s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From bondage to spiritual faith; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From spiritual faith to great courage; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From courage to liberty; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From liberty to abundance; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From abundance to complacency; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From complacency to apathy; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From apathy to dependence; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From dependence back into bondage.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Obituary follows: Born 1776, Died 2012.&amp;nbsp; It doesn&#39;t hurt to read this several times. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professor Olson adds:&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &quot;In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.&amp;nbsp; Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the &quot;complacency and apathy&quot; phase of Professor Tyler&#39;s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation&#39;s population already having reached the &quot;governmental dependency&quot; phase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal&#39;s - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message. If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom..&lt;br /&gt;

Dems Welcome Muslims, Prohibit Christian Hospitality in Charlotte!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
by Rev. Austin Miles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (9/11/12) When the DNC came to Charlotte, area churches, 100 of them, offered hospitality, not knowing how much the Dems hate God and would actually boo God at the convention. They had no idea how that hatred would be directed at them and their churches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Sunday before the DNC, over 9000 people had come together to pray for the convention. Then, wanting to extend hospitality to the visitors to their city, 56 of the churches set out to “Adopt-a-Delegation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They put together gift baskets featuring Carolina Pralines and a letter welcoming them to the city and offering assistance in transportation, childcare or spiritual matters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to writer, Todd Starnes, The DNC banned the churches from distributing the gift baskets to delegates because, DNC said, the congregations hold values that are contrary to the party platform. Read that carefully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
David Benham, one of the organizers of the outreach said, “We were just trying to display Southern hospitality.” DNC officials, however, conveyed to city leaders that the Christians would not be allowed to present their gift baskets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the Charlotte Mayor’s office jumped in to tell the churches not to participate, saying that their views on women’s rights are contrary to the platform. That’s right….the same platform that booed God later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Benham then asked if they could send welcome letters to the delegates. Again, the DNC refused, because, they said, “The churches hold pro-life values.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The baskets did not contain a single political or pro-life message. They just wanted to give them regional candles and a welcome letter. The DNC refused to return numerous phone calls seeking comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it gets worse. When a gathering of 200 Muslims showed up to pray for the convention, the Dems welcomed them with open arms and the liberal media gave extensive national coverage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is ironic that this day, in the shadow of that Islamic prayer event, we commemorate the greatest tragedy in American History, when Muslims attacked America on September 11, 2001, brutally killing thousands.of innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Muslims who publicly state their hatred of our country with fierce determination to kill us all and put America under Sharia Law, are welcomed by the Democratic Party while Christians are pushed out of sight like criminals because they respect life and hold family values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are the same democrats who want you to vote them into office to direct the United States of America and every life from beginning to end. It is obvious that we must not let this happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our thanks to Rev. Ed Berkey (retired) who alerted us to this story.&lt;br /&gt;

This video is the sequel to our video “Brother, Can You Spare A Trillion?” which was the “5th Most Watched Political Video of 2011″ according to YouTube. Unlike the “Trillion” video, this production puts our whole federal governments financial situation in context while tackling the subject of entitlement spending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The left will continue to attack people who are trying to reform the entitlement system. After watching this video you will understand why it needs to be reformed. This video is a MUST SEE for people before the elections in November.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SEIU is the “Service Employees International Union” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This&amp;nbsp;needs to go viral so that Americans can see what is happening in this country. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look what’s happening in California! SEIU... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
God Help Us! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibJLnXPM9MqOyrIQpRxZYhf0sYCWnsMgieNuIJ5NtRUVsH0ZTdamx0dJrvwQk8n0gF0DPD693PPnDG32aW3cxOmKah3VjB3c2aHUg4Sz0-fmvigVkGtcsnanQm_p_DX1mJrmpzPy9GHY8/s1600/unions-communism1.bmp&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; mda=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibJLnXPM9MqOyrIQpRxZYhf0sYCWnsMgieNuIJ5NtRUVsH0ZTdamx0dJrvwQk8n0gF0DPD693PPnDG32aW3cxOmKah3VjB3c2aHUg4Sz0-fmvigVkGtcsnanQm_p_DX1mJrmpzPy9GHY8/s320/unions-communism1.bmp&quot; width=&quot;257&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A May Day rally in Los Angeles, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.answercoalition.org/la/news/tens-of-thousands-march-on.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;co-sponsored by the SEIU&lt;/a&gt; and various communist groups, as well as other unions, reflected yet another step in the normalization of self-identified communist and socialist ideologies in the Obama era. Not only did the SEIU help to organize the rally in conjunction with communists, they marched side-by-side with communists, while union members carried communist flags, communists carried union signs, and altogether there was no real way to tell the two apart. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The communists freely and proudly declare their affiliation. And the SEIU has no problem marching arm-in-arm with them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQufjhBl-4uBZpV5uUkBn-tLemAv6eeRuqExcieq771YZa68Q59YAdecyZQwo-vIPEGNLpcjxeSIFRTDtQUNy6z1dHLQqe-Y1ocLBSic_ihW6JdO5OE-88EBpDdMAREkphny9m8FZged8/s1600/unions-communism2.bmp&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;197&quot; mda=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQufjhBl-4uBZpV5uUkBn-tLemAv6eeRuqExcieq771YZa68Q59YAdecyZQwo-vIPEGNLpcjxeSIFRTDtQUNy6z1dHLQqe-Y1ocLBSic_ihW6JdO5OE-88EBpDdMAREkphny9m8FZged8/s320/unions-communism2.bmp&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Smash Capitalism&quot; is a slogan the SEIU apparently endorses - or at least doesn&#39;t mind marching behind. In case you think the SEIU is some peripheral out-of-the-mainstream organization: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/indexp_indiv.php?cycle=2008&amp;amp;cid=N00009638&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The SEIU devoted $28 million to Obama&#39;s campaign&lt;/a&gt;, making the SEIU &lt;a href=&quot;http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/02/obamas-top-funder-also-lead-nation-white-house-visits&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;the organization that spent the most to help Barack Obama get elected president.&quot; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, who is Obama&#39;s favorite White House guest and one of his closest confidants? The individual who has visited the Obama White House the most: SEIU President Andy Stern, who has visited 53 times. Obama is closely linked with the SEIU. The SEIU is closely linked with communists.

Did I say communists? Sorry, I meant Communists (with a capital &quot;C&quot;). Note how the Communists that day (like the women on the right in this photo) carried solid red flags symbolizing their ideology.. &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Keep that in mind as you view the next photo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
One of the SEIU leaders picked up a Communist flag and led a contingent of rank-and-file SEIU members. Everyone was OK with that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

The way you can identify the SEIU members in all these pictures: They&#39;re the ones in purple t-shirts carrying blue-and-yellow signs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So, as you can see, the communists and the union members intermingled as the march progressed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In case you were wondering what the SEIU was saying during all of this, There is a video of the SEIU chanting &quot;Legalization or REVOLUTION!&quot; Clear enough? &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
And it wasn&#39;t just the SEIU at the march - other &quot;normal&quot; unions like the AFL-CIO were on hand as well. &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;There were plenty of teachers&#39; unions attending too, and they brought along many of their public school students for some good old-fashioned communist indoctrination.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

Most in the US who walk around with Che buttons or Che shirts do so simply because they foolishly think he&#39;s &quot;cool.&quot; These hardcore communists carry his image not because he&#39;s &quot;cool,&quot; but because he was one of the most radical revolutionaries who ever lived. Right up there with Lenin, apparently. &lt;br /&gt;

In order to have a more &quot;civil dialogue&quot; with their political opponents, the marchers made a puppet of a demonic Statue of Liberty aligned with the &quot;Tea Bag Party.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;

OK, I guess Hitler comparisons are off the table for now - too many people have called it taboo. So what&#39;s second best? The Devil! &lt;br /&gt;

Tell me the honest truth: If the Tea Party had marched in a rally behind a banner held up by fascists or neo-Nazis, don&#39;t you think it would have been national news? But the nation&#39;s biggest Obama-supporting political organization marched behind banners like these, and not a peep about it in the media. Hmmmm.. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Until recently, the average American has regarded fascists and communists as equally noxious and equally malignant. As well they should have.&lt;/span&gt; But the drive these days by the left side of the spectrum is to make communism and socialism somewhat less remarkable and more palatable. For two years they angrily denied the Tea Party accusation that Obama&#39;s policies and supporters had a socialist bent. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in recent months, as the accusation had started to gain traction, the new leftist tactic has become: &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&quot;What&#39;s so bad about socialism after all?&lt;/span&gt; You&#39;re demonizing a very popular and respectable ideology!&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you take the time to send this around the country to all your email contacts, keep in mind that this event and others like it were put together by &quot;community organizers&quot;.... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Like this one!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
