Do you
know what's going on in your state legislature?

How many more laws do we need?
I wrote a column titled
that at least 10-12 years ago. Every session of the Outlaw Congress
there are thousands of bills. Here,
go take a look. That's
just 'Bills.' Here is
the directory for all bills and resolutions. It would take a month to read
just the titles and a short summary. We know that some bills get very
high profile treatment, i.e., the unconstitutional CommieCare "law"
recently struck down by Judge Vinson out in Florida. Of course, that
hasn't stopped the usurper's minions and lackeys from moving forward
despite the court's ruling.
Which reminds me before I
continue. Last week I sent a letter to my newly elected state
representative, Jim Landtroop, who opposes the illegal government take
over of the health care delivery system in this country. I had a
question for him: Even
if Texas were to sign a law supported by Gov. Rick Perry
nullifying "ObamaCare" and the individual
mandate, how will the State of Texas stop the IRS from enforcing collection
of that new tax? The number of exemptions granted that "law"
continues to grow, but the bulldozer continues to roll and my question
is legitimate. Whether it's 2012 or 2013, how will the legislature
protect the citizens of our state from the Gestapo?
Of course, we know that mess is going to the U.S. Supreme Court, the
question is when? Virginia's Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli announced a couple of weeks ago:
"... that
Virginia will seek an immediate U.S. Supreme Court review of the
state's constitutional challenge to Obamacare, bypassing the appellate
court. But legal experts doubt the move will succeed and lead to early
intervention by the nation's highest court.
"'Rule 11 of U.S. Supreme Court procedure allows parties to skip lower
courts and ask for immediate Supreme Court review,' The Washington Post explains. But
the court grants such requests 'only upon a showing that the case is of
such imperative public importance as to justify deviation from normal
appellate practice and to require immediate determination in this
Court.' A Justice Department spokeswoman said its lawyers feel
the case should be heard first in an appellate court."
In the meantime, that gigantic mess will continue to cost we the people
wasted money. Health care groups are moving forward despite the Florida
ruling. And, as I
pointed out in a recent column - the make up of the court is
critical.
Let me return to my original question: do you know what's
going on in your state legislature? I ask this because as far as
millions of us are concerned the Outlaw Congress has dug this country
into such massive debt, it's now just a matter of time until the big
implosion rocks this country to its knees. No? My friend, Bob Chapman,
writes The
International Forecaster and has been trying to educate people
about the big picture and our economy for 50 years. He (like Dr. Edwin
Vieira, Rep. Ron Paul and so many others) knows markets and how the FED
has been systematically destroying this country; draining the lifeblood
faster than a convention of vampires. This is from his latest
subscription newsletter you should subscribe to for the real facts
about the economy and not just here; what's going on in other countries
directly affects us because of all the destructive financial agreements
we're stuck with thanks to your incumbent (and mine) in the Outlaw
Congress:
"Interest rates worldwide
are creeping up in the real market. In the US despite efforts to
suppress real interest rates the Fed is slowly loosing control. On the
short end rates have doubled and using the 10-year T-note the yield has
risen over five months from 2.20% to a high of 3.75%. That doesn't in
any way denote control and shows us that over time higher rates will
unfold. That means the real estate problem can only worsen with lower
prices and sales indefinitely. Worse yet, the inventory held by banks
will grow and grow either taking them down or resulting in home
nationalization. In the meantime worldwide price inflation, a result of
QE1, envelops the globe. Wait until the affects of QE2 hit a year from
now. Our question is when will QE3 begin? We will guess at early next
year.
"We are headed toward 14%
inflation this year, which is currently close to 7%. That means 2012
could send the economy into hyperinflation. As we said long ago the Fed
will end up buying almost all of the Treasury and Agency bonds, which
will create losses of well over $1 trillion, as rates rise.
Monetization will be in full swing. The banking system is headed for
renewed insolvency, as is the Fed. The effects of quantitative easing
will unfortunately become manifest. Wall Street and Washington will
continue to lie about it, but the Internet and talk radio will tell the
public the truth. Again, your only hedge against the effects of these
oncoming events to own gold and silver related assets, such as shares
and coins. All the clever deceptions are not going to work. The US, UK,
European and other economies are going to come apart at the seams.
"For two years we have seen
higher inflation manifest itself in smaller rolls of toilet paper, the
contents of cereal packages falling by half and all-basic products
rising 30% in cost. The public may be dumb, but they are not that
stupid. They see what is going on. This is not going to stop. It is
going to get much worse. Income and purchasing power will fall as
inflation runs rampant. As a result consumption among the masses has to
fall reducing GDP growth to a negative factor. Profit margins fall
along with profits and many more businesses cease business. A continued
fall in housing prices and a staggering inventory will send many
lenders into financial oblivion. All that leverage is coming home to
roost.
"The economists behind the
scenes and Front man Bernanke are not dumb or clueless; they know
exactly what they are doing. Their tactics and policies are designed
only to prolong the system to keep it from total collapse. On one end
we see the administration desiring higher taxes for the middle class
and the wealthy on the other we see endless extended unemployment
benefits and food stamps. These experts have put America into a death
spiral from which there is no return, and they know that. The only
question is when will they finally pull the plug and what will be the
final outcome?
"This demoralizing economic
and financial picture is accompanied by unbridled fraud, theft and
criminality on Wall Street. Massive naked short selling that the SEC
absolutely refuses to do anything about. Insider trading prosecutions,
none of which touches the Illuminist inner sanctum. A CFTC that also
refuses to stop and discipline the major firms, such as JPM, HSBC, GS
and Citi for cornering the gold and silver markets. Flash trading,
better known as front-running, proceeds apace with no interference from
the SEC. We have a government that has killed free markets under the
Executive Order called, 'The President's Working Group on Financial
Markets.' Then we have black box manipulation used to take markets up
and down as Wall Street pleases."
There are many outstanding groups and organizations who keep track of
bills on immigration (and amnesty), Agenda 21 and other issues. All of
them have email alert systems to keep us updated and when we need to
act on a bill. I use my email alert system to notify subscribers about
items they might have missed that are important. We're all drowning in
information, but there's also a lot of disinformation out there. It's
important to keep factual information flowing as well as letting you
know about bills coming up for a vote. The states rights movement
(Tenth Amendment, nullification) isn't going to die as it did in the
mid 1990s (Yes, there was one). Millions of Americans have finally seen
the light and now understand that freedom and liberty can only be kept
by constant vigilance. That requires all of us sacrifice the good times
to keep an eye on not just the Outlaw Congress, but our state
legislatures because they ARE the last wall of defense and you better
believe it.
Which brings me back to our state legislatures. Some have very short
sessions like mine (and Montana). When ours go out of session (roughly
140 days), they don't return until 2013, so things are frenzied in
trying to get bills passed that have been introduced. I can't stress
how important it is to get on the email list of your state
representative and senator. I try my best to send out alerts, but I
also spend chunks of time sending things to my state rep and some of
his colleagues as well as research. Our former state rep didn't listen
to the people in our district and we finally threw his backside out
last November. Your state reps and senators are easier to contact and
fire than the Outlaws in Congress with their massive war chests backed
up by electronic vote fraud and political machines.
The past few days have been spent sending a comprehensive package to
Rep. Brian Hughes, Texas State Legislature, on the non
ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment. Recently, Stephen King,
Founder of the Texas Tea Party and Tea Party Movement spent time at our
capitol delivering a information sheet to offices of our lawmakers on
that fraud. There is interest from Rep. Hughes and a handful of others.
I did the follow up with Hughes and his colleagues as well as Rep.
Charles Key [OK], Sen. Randy Brogdon [OK], Rep. Dan Itse [NH] and Rep.
Larry Rappaport {NH].
Stephen has a full time job, but like hundreds of thousands of
other Americans, he is taking the time to get to our state capitol and
make that important personal visit. When I say there is interest at
this point about the Seventeenth Amendment, that is all for now. Some
of this information is new to these representatives, maybe even
shocking. They need time to look at the facts. Dealing with a lie as
big as the non ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment isn't a walk
in the park. But, if you do have time, send a short snail mail letter
to Rep. Hughes asking him to please pursue that critical issue; his
mailing address is: P.O. Box 2910, Austin, Texas 79768. The
states cannot fully regain their sovereignty and constitutionally
guaranteed right of representation in the U.S. Senate until the
Seventeenth Amendment is declared null and void. If one state makes the
move, others will follow.
What's going on in your state house is just as important - in some
cases more important - that what's going on in Washington, DC, just on
a different level. What the gents and ladies are going every day is
passing more and more laws. Some are to repeal old laws, too many are
more unnecessary functions that cost you in taxes. Some are very
important that deal with things like guardianship,
probate and what will happen to you and your estate when you pass away.
Then there are bills like nullifying CommieCare, closing any loopholes
for ballot qualification for a presidential candidate, making sure
illegals will not be able to vote - always fought by Democrats in the
state houses because they are all ethically bankrupt.
Here is a sample of bills in my legislature right now, house and senate.
Some of them deal with CommieCare, some regarding veterans, some are
for the courts and prosecutors. Yesterday, I called my rep asking him
to vote for HR 1043 to close a loophole in the law for the disgusting
"sport" called cockfighting. Last week I called my rep asking him to
vote no on HR 998 which would force mandatory dog insurance; it's on
the list under house above. Another piece of brain flatulence from a
Democrat. If I didn't check the list of bills, I wouldn't know which
ones I need to make my voice heard with my new state rep and career
senator (who is a waste of time).
I know time is an issue and that's why I encourage you to join a local
tea party group. Or, get together with five or ten people you know and
break down who can handle tracking bills and keeping everyone informed.
Set up a phone tree. Maybe one of your group is retired and can make
the phone call alerts. The important thing is to get involved and
spread out the burden of what has to be done. Do you know in some
states like Montana, lawmakers actually list their home phone number so
you can call them and invite he/she for a breakfast with a group? If we
the people don't let our state reps and senators know we have their
backs or support a bill that's important or ask them to vote no on more
wasteful and unnecessary bills to become law, then we have no reason to complain later
when we find out some sickening piece of legislation has become law.
States Begin
Fight Against Food Safety Act - Is Yours? Has your state rep or
senator introduced a bill to stop that abomination before the "federal"
government begins enforcement? That unconstitutional "law" has to be
stopped at the state level, but it will NOT happen until your state rep
and senator get thousands of snail mail letters and follow up phone calls
to get a nullification bill passed and signed by your governor. My next
letter tomorrow is to Rep. Landtroop and a few constitutionalists in
our legislature to fight that draconian bill. No watching the boob tube
or going fishing. Our very future and what we leave for our children
and grand children is at stake.
There are too many laws between Congress and in our states. We're
drowning in laws. The only way to stop bills from getting passed that
destroy our freedom, are just plain stupid or have been introduced to
satisfy special interest groups that buy the favors of lawmakers is to
voice your opposition to a bill. That's why networking is so important
and it does require time. I know "March Madness" is just about to hit
this country again. Millions of Americans will have their heads stuck
in rectal darkness for weeks over basketball while their state
legislatures move forward and what they're doing directly affects you
and your family.
However, we can't worry about the fools in this country who think so
little about their future and freedom they put things like sports on
the stupid tube as a high priority. WE have to be organized, on guard
and active. There are so many dedicated groups in several states trying
desperately to get honest money bills through and signed into law
before we see the monetary collapse. Does your state have an honesty
money bill? Go to the official web site for your state and look at the
list of bills or call your state rep during lunch or a break and find
out.
I know you're working, probably have a family. Maybe you're unemployed,
which is devastating and depressing. But, please find the time to join
with others in your area and become the solution. The domestic enemies
in this country hire legions of useful fools and the only way to beat
them is to get involved. None of us can do it alone. My mom is 84 years
old. When a "hot" bill comes up in Congress, I get on the phone to her
and my disabled brother; they don't have a computer. I tell them the
bill number and what it means. Bless their hearts, they get on the
phone to their Congress critter and give them an ear full. When my
columns come out in the US~Observer Newspaper, I make sure mother has a couple dozen copies
and she gets them to the local tea party group. This is how we have
made a difference and how we can win more battles.
Knowledge is power. True, but it also takes action and follow up. I also want
to say as someone who has been in the trenches going on 21 years, you're not alone. One of
the most rewarding things about being an activist has been meeting and
working with so many decent, wonderful Americans who care about our
republic. What has been happening in this country for decades is
depressing and frustrating, but when you begin working with other
Americans who feel and care the same as you do, believe me, it is a
very rewarding, fulfulling experience. You will also begin to believe
as I do that we can defeat the evil forces arrayed against us. It won't
be without pain, but our numbers grow. We need to stay focused and
dedicated.
