Just got word this morning that Barney Frank has gotten on board with HR1207 "The Federal Reserve Transparency Act" and says it will be voted on and passed in October!!! All of the Phone Bombs I participated in, the phone calls to constituents, the speech I gave at SPSU, just added on top of the outrage and support from people like you who got behind this bill and made your voices heard. This is bigger than the Healthcare Bill (in my opinion) and bigger than anything else we have going on right now, because this is about our livelyhood. Check out the video...

Just wondering...
Let me ask you something, let's talk about this healthcare thing for a minute from another standpoint. OK, I have a couple of friends that actually believe they want to help those that are "working 2 jobs and can't afford health insurance". That's a legitimate concern, I agree. So, I have been thinking this through. What if we did the following:
1. We had a bill that would provide coverage for all actively working American Citizens, Legal Immigrants, the handicapped, and those that are able bodied to work and are actively trying to get some work.
2. Everyone would have to submit to drug and alcohol screening before receiving services if you're not actively working.
3. The hospitals and doctors would be required to check for proper identification to prove your citizenship and/or legal status. If you can't provide it, you don't get services.
4. Abortions would not be covered.
5. Counceling (marriage, personal, etc) would not be covered.
6. The ENTIRE program is paid for by eliminating one MAJOR program (like the Department of Education) so that not one single penny is taken away from the American People to pay for it. You want a new program, get rid of an old one of equal value.
If people agreed to this, I MIGHT be willing to sacrifice my liberty ideals to support it. Convince me if I'm right or wrong. Please, chime in.

The "A" Word
ABORTION....Ohhhh, I bet that just gets under your skin doesn't it? Why is that? Well, to put it plainly, it's because you probably feel the same way I do. It's a stalemate. This is like playing Tic-Tac-Toe, you're never going to win. People tout about how there are two sides to this, Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. I happen to believe that there are really three positions, Pro-Life, Pro-Choice (as an individual), and Pro-CollectiveChoice (as a combined people). I stand in the last option on my opinions. Let me explain...
I, personally, believe that life begins at conception. However, I am also a true believer in liberty. This is a moral issue and there is no denying that. If you hear the viewpoints of those that oppose abortion and those that want choice, they both have OUTSTANDING arguments. That's why it's stalemate. No one will ever win that fight, because they both have excellent points to make to "prove" their side. So, how do we resolve it?
I was giving this some thought recently and it really started eating at my brain last night when I went to the GOP meeting in my district to hear Ray McBerry (the Georgia Governor Candidate) talk about State's Rights and Freedom. He is a Pro-Life Candidate and said that government should always default on life when there is ever a question. Although I do agree with this, it raises concerns for me. Should we really allow a politician decide morality?
If you recall in the Scott and Laci Peterson trial, Scott was charged and convicted in a court of law for double homocide since his wife was pregnant at the time. Yet, this very same court system would not feel that it was murder if Laci had taken upon herself to abort the child. Is this not a double standard??? The problem is, there has never been a precendence set for the rule of law.
Therefore, I propose that a referendum vote be put up to the American People and let us decide COLLECTIVELY one simple question: "Does life begin at conception or birth?" Whatever we decide as a whole should be an amendment to the Constitution explaining where life begins when we deal with the "right to life" issue. This will set a precedence for all law and not just abortion.

Where we are...
I've been sitting here today thinking about where this country has gone just in the last 6 months. It is an amazing feat I must say. There were some very positive things that seemed to be possible, but it all crashed down fairly fast. As it stands we have:
1. The first African-American President who is on a continual path to destroying the hope of any other black man/woman of being elected to that office in my lifetime.
2. He has achieved falling in the #3 slot on my top 5 worst Presidents ever. Yes, Woodrow Wilson and Ulysses S. Grant come before him.
3. We are about to embark upon the largest program of fascist nature in American history.
4. A federal deficit that once the healthcare bill is put into place, will reach not only a record, but an astronomical $21.5 Trillion.
5. We are close to another Great Depression.
6. We're now losing the war in Afghanistan.
7. Legislators that actually believe we don't know what we're talking about and want to rush through legislation even when 75% of us don't want it.
8. Proposals to amend the Constitution to include a right to healthcare.
9. States tossing around the idea of succession.
10. The closest we have ever come to an outright Revolution since the days of The War Between the States.

75% of Americans Favor Auditing The Federal Reserve
I really don't understand this. Why is this not getting more press and people like Boortz, Hannity, and Limbaugh not talking about this? Am I the only one out there that believes The Federal Reserve is the one top problem we have in this country and by auditing (and eventually abolishing) them we can almost certainly fix many of the problems we have in this country? Anyhow, I pulled this off of www.ronpaul.com this morning....
So Much For Secrecy: 75% of Americans Favor Auditing The Federal Reserve
By tmartin • July 30, 20093 comments
So much for the ongoing secrecy of the nation’s independent central banking system. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 75% of Americans favor auditing the Federal Reserve and making the results available to the public.
Just nine percent (9%) of adults think that’s a bad idea and oppose it. Fifteen percent (15%) aren’t sure. Over half the members of the House now support a bill giving the Government Accounting Office, Congress’ investigative agency, the authorization to audit the books of the Federal Reserve Board.
Support for the bill has grown now that the Obama administration is proposing to give the Fed greater economic regulatory powers. The Fed which sets U.S. monetary policy was created as an [ostensibly] independent agency to keep it free of politically-motivated interference.
Rasmussen Survey of 1,000 AdultsJuly 27-28, 2009
“A proposal has been made to audit the Federal Reserve and make the results available to the public. Do you favor or oppose auditing the Federal Reserve?”
Favor: 75%Oppose: 9%Not sure: 15%
This telephone survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted by Rasmussen Reports on July 27-28, 2009. The margin of sampling error for the survey is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence (see methodology).

Unemployment, Education, and that twit Obama
I was driving in this morning, only to hear that the state of Georgia has now hit a record 10.1% unemployment rate. The reason it is the highest on record for this state, is because we are a state of construction and manufacturing. Both have come to a complete halt. Well, this isn't very comforting for a guy who is 4 classes away from finishing his Construction Management degree. Although, I've been working in this industry for quite some time and don't need the degree, but I had high hopes when I first started pursuing it almost 12 years ago. Yes, I've been attending college for 12 years after a run in the military. Oh well, at least I have a good job already.
Then, I hear that 2 year schools have astronomical registrations since the decline in the economy. Looks like everyone is finding another career after realizing theirs isn't fairing too well. I hear that nursing is the way to go these days. I'm sure that a bankruptcy attorney would be a good job right now too.
Lastly, I pulled up Drudge Report this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that a military soldier who was issued orders to Afghanistan had refused to go, because he didn't feel he needed to take orders from a man who can't prove he's an American Citizen and qualified to be President of the United States. Well, the funny news is, he won the case!!! He actually had his orders revoked, because the military couldn't provide proof that Obama is an American Citizen. How funny is THAT???
