September 14, 2009 by molibertyUnicoi Co. Commission backs state’s votes on guns/johnsoncitypress.com/August 31, 2009
August 31, 2009 by molibertyERWIN – The Unicoi County Commission normally takes a dim view of the actions of state government, but last week the panel quickly voted to support a resolution that backed the Tennessee Legislature’s votes on guns.
“The Tennessee Legislature is commended for their recent passage of several laws lessening the restrictions on people keeping and bearing arms,” the county’s resolution states. “This legislative body (in Unicoi County) supports the rights of its citizens to keep and bear arms in conformity with the rights provided in the United States Constitution.”
The resolution was quickly adopted last Monday in a unanimous vote.
The resolution was the brainchild of Sheriff Kent Harris, who had been approached by Dr. Dan Moore about the idea of supporting the Second Amendment. He liked what Moore had in mind.
“Me and him had spoken about what was going on on the state level and different things about the Second Amendment, the Constitution, about the right to bear arms,” Harris said. “He wanted my opinion of it. I told him what my opinion is – that people have a right to carry a firearm. I believe in people’s right to bear arms.
“My officers have never bothered anybody that’s going armed unless they’re out here breaking the law. Law-abiding citizens, we’re glad they got a gun. We might need them to help us. Whether somebody’s got a gun permit or not, if we stop them and they tell us they got a gun and they’re good, why bother them?”
Harris said he has not had a major problem with anyone who has a handgun permit. He said he supports the handgun permit program even though he believes a person has a right to carry a gun without one.
Moore drafted a resolution that was presented to County Mayor Greg Lynch, who favored it, and County Attorney Doug Shults, who reworded it to comply with all of the laws, Harris said. Moore considered the resolution that was presented to the commission to be watered down, but he said the development nonetheless was positive.
“I’m very proud of our sheriff and the county,” Moore said.
He said he went to Harris because of the importance of the sheriff to protect the community against foreign or domestic invasion and the possibility U.S. residents would have their guns taken away. He said other sheriffs were not as supportive as Harris about the resolution.
“We just wanted to send a message to the world that our county strongly supports the Second Amendment,” Moore said. “(Harris is) setting an example for the other sheriffs to truly uphold the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the of the land, other than God’s law.”
Why is a county government delving into this issue? Harris said it was a sign of support for the state Legislature and to convey the belief that Unicoi County backs gun ownership.
Moore said he and others are planning a rally “for freedom” during the Apple Festival. Details have not been finalized, but Harris said topics include the Second Amendment, taxes and government waste. The sheriff said Moore has asked him to speak, and he has agreed.
“It’s all about the Constitution,” Moore said.
He and Harris said there is a constitutional movement occurring in Unicoi County. Moore said it applies to other parts of the country as well.
“People are tired of seeing their freedoms taken away,” he said

Ok, the right questions are still not being asked on health care. Let me ask you some questions prior to your understanding of why I say this.
1. Do you agree and understand that lobbyists influence the decisions made by our government?
2. Do you understand that the anti trust laws have been relaxed over the years, by both parties, in regards to monopolies and market control activities by corporations?
3. When the statements of government control health care is “essential” or must be part of the health care issue or whatever statement they want to use for governmental controlled health care, it is an integral part of this proposed health care plan.
Now the real question should be asked:
1. Who, in the lobbyist world, is pushing this proposed governmental control of the health care system?
If you think it is the administration that cares for all of us, don’t, you got to find out who is economically benefiting from it.
Let us not forget the banking industry where we were told if the first TARP wasn’t passed the entire economy would fail. What did they do? Not buying toxic assets as they stated but gave it to the banks which in turned bought other banks at bargain basement prices furthering their domination of the banking industry. Followed by the Federal Reserve buying up the toxic assets with printed money.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a4PWQBl9WmBU
Now knowing the banking industry had this much power, how about the insurance industry, sitting in the middle of Wall Street and the rest of the economic power brokers? We know over the years they have been buying each other up and accumulating more control of the insurance industry. This in turn gives them more economic power and control of their lobbying activities for their benefit. Look at what our government did for AIG who got caught up in the Credit Default Swaps (another name for insurance but couldn’t call it that because it would have lead to governmental regulations), they gave them $180 Billion.
I know the government bureaucracies will have to administer the program but who will give them the guidance, rules, and regulations to support this behemoth? It will be the Congress and guess who gives them lobbying money for their life long careers, you are right if you answered the ones that will be economically benefiting from it. So this completes a circle that has been used aggressively in recent years to promote the most economically powerful programs for smaller groups of the economic elite, which will economically benefit from their influence.
Very little is done in Washington to benefit the people without benefiting some other economically powerful group. That is how things are done in Washington.

I sat down tonight researching the current economic state of our country and the world and have come across some things that blew me away. The first thing I ran across is the true number this bailout has cost us to this point by the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. Sit down for this one: $4.28 trillion. This article explains where it went:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/27719011
As I kept studying the economic news, I came across another thing that goes against everything a free enterprise system stands for, government directly investing the futures market to prop up it up, which is against the law. Direct intervention by the government is more than socialism; it is done secretly by the President. On the surface it is called the “Presidents Working Group on Financial Markets” another name for it is the “Plunge Protection Team.” I have included a formal definition of it. Check out which economic heads are on the team, recognize the economic governing positions as it relates to today’s bailout and economic restructuring?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_12631
You will see some call this a conspiracy and knowing my background, I don’t buy into conspiracies but with Paulson and Bernanke not willing to disclose where the bailout money is going, you have got to wonder. I have included a CNBC video where an economist brings it up on air and watch the talking heads try to down play it. I have found many times when things get close to the truth, the first thing that is said that redirects the mindset of the discussion, call it a “conspiracy”. In the past, it shuts down the affect of the discussion. This is extremely interesting, watch them trivialize it.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=931599105
You will also hear that bailing out anyone but the financials is not a good idea, because they are taking care of themselves and the rest of us are just going to have to live with the results of their direction.
This has got to change and I believe I have a solution to correct this and I am putting it together for my campaign for Congress in 2010. Once my campaign is in full gear in January of 2009, I will explain it in full detail.

November 21, 2008 by molibertyOkay folks enough is enough; it is time to put this whole thing into perspective. This automobile industry bailout all over the media is a not very funny joke but it is a joke. While the media inundates us with all of this stuff about the pros and cons of the auto bailout, Reuters is reporting the financial institutions will need another $1 to $1.2 trillion.
http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSTRE4AJ1GV20081120
At last count, as pointed out by CNBC, we have already spent $4.28 trillion on the financial bailout.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/27719011
I am not giving a positive or negative about the proposed bailout but stepping back from the issue and looking at this whole bailout scheme. It is $25 billion or maybe going up to $75 billion. This is a huge amount of money but compared to financial industry bailout it is peanuts. The Congress is hanging all kinds of pre-requisites before they will give them any money, where the financial industry has no restrictions. In fact they gave total power to the Secretary of the Treasury and of course the Federal Reserve to do what ever they want to do with it with NO restrictions. In fact we don’t even know where all the money has gone and they refuse to report where it went.
I agree the automotive industry is a train wreck and the industry, as a whole, in the US needs restructuring but let’s not through away the baby with the bath water. I hear that the unions are the reason they are failing and I hear the corporate executives are fat cats and the industry is not developing fuel efficient cars, is at fault. All are true to some degree but do we want the government controlling our automotive industry? Look what the regulations and oversight of the financial markets, by the government, has developed into. A free market will shake out the weak and build up the smart ones.
The unions were just working within the rules of capitalism and not a free market. They had a financial advantage, being the only work force available, and they took that advantage for their benefit. It is no different that any corporation, when they have a financial advantage they take it, with little concerns beyond their bottom line. With corporations becoming so large and control and influence large parts of their markets, they use that for their financial advantage. So where is the real difference beyond their individual job responsibilities?
Unions need restructuring, not eliminated. Since Ronald Reagan’s breaking up of the Air Traffic Controllers Union, the workers in this country have had less and less representation through collective bargaining and now one of the largest unions remaining is under attack. Unions establish not only financial agreements with the corporations but working standards and worker’s safety and worker’s retirements. Those standards they set permeate throughout their entire industry. But now they have become so burdensome to the corporations, it is more difficult for a corporation to make a profit.
Voluntary common sense restructuring is the answer, not eliminated or controlled by the government. Automobile companies were making a profit until this financial crisis began to affect people’s ability to buy cars. Almost everyone has to buy a car on credit and with the credit market crashing and banks not lending money, the mortgages were the first to go then the next big ticket item, the car.
Up until this credit crisis, corporations were making a killing on their big vehicles, trucks and SUVs. With their profit margins getting smaller and smaller on cars and large profits on trucks and SUVs, what would you expect them to do, build more trucks and SUVs. I don’t blame them a bit for making something they make the greatest profit on but it was the unregulated credit and financial markets that has caused them to have these financial issues, not because they weren’t making fuel efficient vehicles.
Voluntary restructuring of the corporations of the automobile industry is also needed. The first thing to do is remove the entire governess from the corporations. Replace them with people that have an in depth understanding of the product and market place they are in. Do not let the Master of Business (MBAs) people in the governess, except in a support function. People who have an in depth understanding of the business, know how to compete and innovate both in product and corporate structure, to meet the market needs. Where as the MBAs look at acquisitions and budget cuts to advance the corporation. Every MBA I worked with in different companies all had an aversion to engineering and looked at engineering as a big detractor from the bottom line.
Japan is beating us in sales because of that very problem, not enough competitive engineering in product development. The Japanese may have 10 engineers developing a door for a car to make the best door possible, where the US auto makers would have 10 engineers on developing the entire car that is marketable not so much reliable. Real leaders understand, investing in the expertise needed for all facets of a corporation to compete in the marketplace long term, not just the short sighted profit from a bottom line mentality.
This re-structuring mentality I outlined should be used in all corporations and companies because the corporations and companies are more than just a spread sheet full of numbers. They should be a group of people working towards a goal for all of them to fairly benefit from the corporation’s or company’s financial success, not just the stock holders and top management.
Finally, with all of this talk about the controls of the automobile industry in the media, what about reigning in the financial industry and demand the controls on them, what Congress is demanding of the automobile industry? The financial bailout is the biggest expense this country has or ever has had, yet there are no regulations or oversight, isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place? I reiterate what Lee Iacocca’s book title is “Where have all the leaders gone?”

November 23, 2008 by molibertyI have been following two major things that are concerning me. The first is the results of the G-20 summit at the White House last weekend and the second is the Obama transition. Both subjects have been extremely interesting and I will show you why I am concerned.
The G-20 Summit at the White House and as usual, the media coverage of this was very little. Wouldn’t you think policies that will affect our future well being, with this financial crisis going on, would be a major news item? I guess not by their standards but this link from Dick Morris (a conservative and Fox News Contributor) will open your eyes to the financial regulation of our economic system which will now have oversight by a “College of Supervisors”. As I have said many times in the past, we will loose our autonomy with this One World Economy and now we are seeing the beginnings of direct control of our economic system by an outside entity.
http://www.newsmax.com/morris/g_20_economic_summit/2008/11/19/153044.html
This second website will give you an overview of what has been happening with the Paulson and Bernanke bailout and a letter sent to the G-20 meeting by two distinguished economists. “Economists Paul Davidson and Henry C.K. Liu “Open Letter to World Leaders attending the November 15 White House Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy”
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21280.htm
Now the Obama transition, when I heard the choice of his pick for the Secretary of the Treasury, I knew at that point the One World System is going to be pushed by this President too. I already had that suspicion with his “I am a world citizen speech in Germany” and his stand on immigration. This link will give you an overview of who Timothy F. Geithner is and his background. The media has been praising him on he is the right choice for these economic times, when in reality he is the continuation of the current economic direction. Read his bio and you will see what I mean.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_F._Geithner
One final thing you should know, with all of the banking bailouts and record loses in the banking industry, guess who isn’t having any problems with their investment bank? You have to read this link to find out:
As you can see by this newsletter, the economic status quo is being maintained no matter who is in the White House. Politics are for the masses when in reality the economic direction, which controls everything we do as a nation, is maintained and directed by the same economic power structure no matter what. Politics give you hope but economics gives you reality.

Well another day and another bank bailout, a week after Paulson said the bailouts have stabilized the most important financial institutions. Citibank has now got an early Christmas present, another $40 billion atop of the $45 billion a short while ago but the real present is the government backing 90% of the $306 billion of possible bad assets.
This bailout has not done what we were lead to believe it was going to do and that is to ease the credit crisis. Instead of the banks lending again, they are depositing that money into their banks and sitting on it. That is good, for now, for the share holders but does very little in getting the economy moving again. So once again we see Paulson taking care of the industry he is from, with no consequences for the banks not following through with what our money was intended for, lending money to businesses and people to inject capital into the economy as a whole.
Bush backs it and Barney Frank, Chairman of the Congressional Banking Committee, said I wish the banks would start lending again. This just goes to show you the toothless tiger our government has become. It is not going to change because with Obama nominating Timothy Geithner for Treasury Secretary, the status quo will be maintained. He has been involved every step of the way with Paulson managing the bailout. I hope buy now everyone sees that our government will only do what the economic powers behind our political system directs them to do. We now live in a true oligarchy, not the country our Constitution and Bill of Rights promised, government by the people for the people. Definition: Ol-i-gar-chy – a form of government in which all power is invested in a few persons or in a dominate class or clique: government by the few.
Getting away from this economic discussion I want to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and remember even with the darkest of times, we must be thankful for what we have and that is our faith in God and our family and our friends, for these are the most important part of our lives. Enjoy your day, count your blessings, and let the problems of the world go away, for at least a little while. May God bless all of you.

In keeping up with the world of economic news, I ran across this article about the G-8. The new president of the G-8, Silva Berlusconi, who is also the President of Italy and media baron, has decided to expand the control of the G-8. Reuter’s reports Berlusconi said: “The G8 has as its task the regulation of financial markets… I think the next G8 can bring to the table a proposal for a regulation of the internet.”
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/03/berlusconi_g8_internet/
It looks like to me with all of the bad news surrounding the world’s economy, the G-8 may want to address the problem from a different angle and that is to filter the last vestige we the people have to fully communicate. I sure they will start by saying they need to filter subversive content of the internet, the problem with that is who determines what is subversive content and who decides what is overall acceptable for internet publishing? Without the internet’s freedom, we will be locked into what they think is appropriate for general consumption, remind you of any one today, China and Iran, just to name a couple.
Before the internet and when a country took over another country during war, one the first things they would do is burn the books and imprison the intellectuals of the defeated country, to control the minds of the people, is this just another attempt to do what use to be standard practice post war? I don’t like conspiracies but when a powerful economic group goes outside the bounds of their stated charter and attempts to control a completely other responsibility, you have to raise a red flag, so that is why I published this.

December 6, 2008 by molibertyGreg’s Newsletter / What we must do now / December 06, 2008
December 7, 2008 by molibertyIt should be obvious to everyone by now that our so called leaders in government, industry, and the banking system have no idea how to correct this economic disaster. We have for so long relied on these people to perform their duties with regard to the well being of our country and the world. When in reality they have become so self serving, the consequences for this self serving attitude has caught up with us and now we are all in trouble.
As I have been writing ever since 2005, in order for the this One World System to succeed in their end goal, establishing an equal consumer working class world wide, the US would have to reduce their standard of living and bring the third world countries up financially. As you can see or if you don’t believe it now, you will see the financial demise of the US economy as we knew it. Most everyone will have to reduce their standard of living to keep themselves from going under, no matter how financially secure you are feeling now. Here are the major issues that have to be resolved before any light at the end of the tunnel can be realized:
1. Housing – in most areas of the US, home owners are upside down on their mortgages. They are not worth what their mortgage is and these values will have to be stabilized before the housing market can once again begin recovery but in the mean time there is the potential that millions of people will loose their homes. Many people are one or two paychecks from loosing everything including their homes.
2. Regulation of the financial industry – This is imperative and I am worried until the whole system almost collapses, nothing will be done. For instance, when the financial industry publicly announced the real trouble they were in, one of the first regulations that was established, protecting them was the speculation of the industry was stopped. No short selling of their stock and why is that, because it hurts the stock and reduces the value of that stock. So why is it okay for the rest of industry? It is because the hedge fund business would be taking a large hit and the financial market supposedly couldn’t stand that. The financial industry is so protective of their industry that everything else is secondary to their issues and we have and will have the people from that industry running the recovery of this disaster that industry created. I don’t hold much hope for the direction established will be for the benefit of the economy as a whole, it will be attempted from the top of the financial system down, with hopes the trickle down effect will fix it. As we have seen to this point, the trickle down doesn’t trickle down very far anymore.
3. Our political structure must grow some balls – They are so inundated with lobbying pressure that they cannot do anything to control the financial industry. To prove that point they usurped their Constitutional responsibilities and handed over the recovery process to one person, the Sec. of Treasury and following Paulson is the president of the New York Federal Reserve that has been with Paulson through the entire process. They know if any bills are introduced to control the industry, the politicians will not get re-election monies from the largest contributors in the lobbying system, at our expense. Secondly the controlling people of the House and Senate will not even bring any regulation of any meaning to the floor. This level of corruption should not be tolerated by the citizens of this country. We need to demand our elected officials to control this out of control financial industry because if we don’t, we will be paying for it with a greatly reduced standard of living. Where are the Congressional hearings, the investigations, and the media looking into this corruption that has so hurt this country? The only thing you hear about is the auto industry and how regulated they will be to get $34 billion, where the financial industry is getting $8.5 trillion of direct cash injection and government backing, with little to no oversight. They are using the auto industry to give the appearance the government is doing something financially for the American people, when in reality they are bending to the pressure of the financial lobbyists. What does it take for the American people to realize they are being used for the benefit of the financial powers behind this government? If we don’t individually take responsibility and voice our desires for the government to work for us, what I wrote in 2005 will come true. I have attached my essay I wrote in 2005 and if you think that it is some kind of conspiracy theory, and then they have got you fooled and unfortunately you will figure it out after it happens.
4. Finally but not least, morality must be re-established in our country. With the movement to remove God from every part of our society, we as a whole will be depending on what we can do for ourselves by any means. I saw it in a Godless country, China, where anything goes just as long as you don’t get caught. Without God in our lives, we are asking for trouble like you have never seen. You may think God is a fairy tale or you believe He is real but one thing you must do is establish Him in everyday life, not just an hour on Sunday. To give you an idea how far this has gone, the new welcome center in the nations capital has stated the nation’s motto is “E Pluribus Unum” not “In God We Trust”. Remember from history, this nation was established by people getting away from a governmental church (the Puritans on the Mayflower), so they could have religious freedom and in many of the writings of our nation’s founders, God was realized as the reason why this country was established in the first place. I am certainly not saying a religion should be part of the government, like has been touted in the last 8 years, but each one of us should be keeping God in our heart and minds daily. A nation without morality is a nation doomed to fail because it will become so self serving and the desires of what “I” want will be more prevalent that the nation as a whole and unity will not be happen.
We have many problems in this country but we can get through it if we decide, as a nation, to get involved and not leave it to someone else. We must be united in the direction this country takes and it is not a political party thing but an American thing. Until we all get on the same page and push for the betterment of the nation as a whole, our nation will be fragmented with no national direction, which will lead to a nation that is lost without a soul.

To: United States Representative Zack Wamp 3rd Congressional District of Tennessee,
On this day of remembrance on the attack of Pearl Harbor I feel the need to address something that is attacking most of us, in not only the 3rd District but the nation and that is the economic situation that is consuming the working people of this nation.
I understand you are one of the rising stars in the Republican Party but the way Washington works, it means you are conforming to the way it does business, which is not for the country as a whole but for the economic (lobbying) powers behind the entire system.
I remember when you and the other junior Republican Reps. went to Washington and stated how things were going to change and they did, the system changed all of you to conform to the Washington way. I know you can say, we just don’t understand, if you don’t conform, things just don’t get done and I realize that for the existing system. But where are the true leaders when we need them and to lead may cause you to go against the system. To promote what is good for the entire country, not just the economic powers that control our government.
I and many others realize that both parties may have differences in things like social direction but the real direction for this and any other society is its economic system. The issue confronting our nation is that both parties and the economic system are controlled by the same entities. Where is our true representation for the betterment of the entire country?
Unlike Pearl Harbor, where we were attacked directly and we knew who the enemy was, this current war on the financial well being of this nation is not so clear. That is they work their influences behind close doors and finance their direction through the lobbying system. This has got to change or we will be relegated to this world system and the autonomy of this great nation will be lost. I remember about 6 or 7 years ago when J.P. Morgan financial empire stated, “In 20 to 30 years, the US economy will have little effect on the world economic system”. At the rate it is going, it won’t take that long.
You can argue we must be in the world economy and I agree but you have to realize that we have always been in the world economy, where American products were the most desirable products in the world until the rhetoric stated cheaper was the better way. With that we, with tax incentives from our government, transferred our wealth offshore which was the largest transfer of wealth, without a shot being fired, in world history. What has this government done to this country to satisfy the shortsighted bottom line mentality?
If you are a true free market capitalist, then why has the many hundreds of secret trade agreements been so one sided for advantage of the other side? At the point of the Dubai take over of our ports there was about 1200 to 1500 secret trade agreements Sec. Snow had penned without the American public knowledge, if they were for our advantage it would have been public knowledge. How many more have been penned since then and how many of them further fragmented our economy?
If you are a true rising star and leader, you must start with the unpopular direction with the economic powers and stand up for the entire country’s economy, not just them who have the inside track of influence on our government. If not, you will be playing into the hands of those who want the working people of this country on an equal playing field with the rest of the working people around the world. The main problem with that is we will have to drastically reduce our standard of living to meet the economically rising third world working class, to establish this one world consumer class, which is one of the main goals. The worst thing that will come from this is it will concentrate economic power into a smaller and smaller group of self serving entities and power brokers.
Time will tell if you and the rest of this Washington, government for the highest bidder, will pursue what is right for the country as a whole or just continue the current path of weakening the stature of the greatest nation humans have ever created.
I pray to God everyday this direction will change, for the wisdom of our leaders, and the betterment of all of us. All of our fellow citizens that have died and wounded fighting for this great nation did not sacrifice themselves to be relegated to just another entity in a world controlled by fewer and fewer self serving economic power entities.
Regards,
Greg Goodwin

Greg’s Newsletter, Keeping the American Middle Class Informed / December 18, 2008
December 19, 2008 by molibertyIt appears the bailouts and injecting all of this liquidity and ridiculously low Fed Rate maybe catching up with the dollar. As I and some other economic pragmatists warning of the dollar’s inflationary troubles, may have begun. This article states the dollar has begun to drop in value. It use to be when the dollar fell in value, it was a good thing because it would make our products, which we use to produce here, more competitive in the world market place. Now with so much debt being held by foreign interests, China, Russia, Japan, Middle East, etc and the dollar sliding down in value against the foreign currencies, the only place they will be able to spend their dollars will be the USA, buying out our economic infrastructure. With all of the things we buy are either made outside the country or prices for commodities being controlled by international investment groups, everything we need, will be priced against international exchange rates and the potential for inflation or even hyper-inflation is a real. The end result will be anything invested in the dollar will continue to fall in value, which includes our savings, 401ks, and other investment vehicles. It also means everything we buy will become more and more expensive.

This just didn’t happen in the last year or so, I began writing about it in 2005 and others have been writing about it as early as 2002 but none of it made it to the main stream media with any real concern. The reason no one wanted to talk about it after the deregulation of the financial markets in 1999, there was an orgy in non-asset based investments, paper only speculation and no one cared at that moment because everyone at that time was making a ton of money. The main reasons for this problem is our current financial industry and business leaders were taught the very thing that we are paying for, short term MBA spread sheet mentality with little regard to anything past the next quarter or two and pure unregulated greed. This video will give you a good synopsis of the people who were warning us of this problem we are now facing and how they were trivialized.

One final thought, we are trying to base our economy on credit or a better terminology, usury, instead of a sound financial structure, asset based money and banks and financial institutions not being able to do business beyond their asset values. The house of cards has fallen down and now we have rebuild it with a sound system based on assets, not paper. We are in a real disaster and the financial leaders do not seem to care about anything but protecting the financial industry and banks. This approach of establishing a credit only financial system will fail all of us, no one in the world will (eventually) lend us a dime and how will we repay what we already owe?

December 20, 2008 by molibertyMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays / by: MoLiberty / December 21, 2008
December 21, 2008 by molibertyAs a government watchdog and staunch supporter of our Constitutional Republic (the way it was originally framed), I reserve very little (if any) time or effort to “happy news”. Frankly, there’s little time left to reverse the continuous onslaught against our Liberties, Freedom and Constitutional form of government. Thus, I’ll continue to be vigilant by informing “The People” with any and all means at my disposal. I hope and pray that most of you will do the same.
That said; I sincerely wish for all of you and yours, a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy New Year and any other Holiday celebration that I may have left out.
The origin of the founding of the Thirteen Colonies was to be freed from religious persecution and “Taxation Without Representation” from the King of England (who’s name just coincidentally happened to be George, yuck!).
The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States ensures that the establishment of religion or regulation of it be kept free from government control. In order for “We The People” to cinch the chains of the Constitution tighter around our governing body, we must be “Ever Vigilant” in that cinching process on a daily basis.
Though I’m not an elected official, I practice the Constitutional cinching process on a regular basis by conveying to my representatives that they work for “We The People”, I hope you’ll do the same. After all, we are to be governed “O
