For everyone that has a Facebook account, the status updates can be a powerful tool to get your opinions across to your friends-sometimes I just can’t believe what some people say! A closet socialist friend of mine posted a congratulatory post about Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize… Continue Reading

The shackles of serfdom are being silently fastened to America. Every dollar Congress spends beyond its budget, every Federal Reserve Note printed, every tax, regulation, and government intrusion into our lives renders us less free. Ever wonder why it feels like it’s increasingly difficult to make ends meet? Remember the days when one spouse could work, the other raise the kids, and still save for a comfortable retirement? Those days are gone, but why? What’s next? The 5 Steps to Freedom: How To Cut Your Dependence On Institutions And Escape Financial Slavery, by Jeff Nabers explains what happened to our once prosperous society and how we can all take definite steps to escape what is to come.

This article is dedicated to the growing segment of American society that is awakening to the ideas that we are increasingly overworked and overtaxed. My goal is to determine an effective tax burden on the average middle-class American. I will leave it to the reader to judge relative severity of the burden as measured against associated “benefits” to which he is “entitled” from the system. Continue Reading

After extensive research we’ve concluded that these are the Top 10 Signs you just might be a Socialist:

1. You advocate for equality for all and yet you want to raise taxes on certain social classes.
2. You support the troops but do not support the war and you did not support the war in Iraq but now you support the war in Afghanistan. So… do you want war or not?
3. You believe in bigger Government and yet you advocate for the government not to run your life.
4. You think that we shouldn’t outsource labor and yet you complain about the rising cost of consumer goods.
5. You want the Government to take control and regulate all private businesses and yet you work for or own a privately owned business.
6. You want to get paid the same as everybody else, but the average income in the US is probably less than what you are making.
7. You think that the Government should spend more money to stimulate the economy when the Government has no money.
8. You think that the tax increase will not affect you.
9. You sit around and wait for the Government to “help” you.
10. You blame the economy for putting you in the situation that you are in even though you’ve been in the same situation for years.

The Federal Reserve is creating tens of trillions of new dollars, debasing our currency, and silently taxing us all through inflation. With tens of trillions in federal budget deficits on the horizon there is nowhere for the US dollar to go, but down. Refuse to be a victim of this flawed financial system, buy gold and silver NOW!

Sen. Rockefeller proposes bill that would give government sweeping powers to control, monitor, and regulate the Internet, ACLU demands public schools stop blocking gay web sites on public computers, Rep. Jane Harman calls incriminating NSA wiretap “abuse of power,” National Service legislation signed into law that will cost $6 billion over 5 years by hiring “paid volunteers,” government will need to issue $2.4 trillion in new Treasury securities in 2009 to meet budget shortfalls and bailout program requirements, and U.S. to give another $5.5 billion to automakers… Continue Reading

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) introduced a bill in the Senate on April 1st calling for sweeping powers for federal regulators to “secure cyber communications.” The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (S.773) would give government authority over all networks considered part of the nation’s critical infrastructure.

The usual threats and scare tactics are used to justify giving Big Brother greater powers, including giving the President the power to shut down portions of the internet he deems a threat to national security, and access to vast amounts of digital data currently legally off limits.

Industry experts criticize the pervasive intrusion into private business standards and practices that would result from some of the finer points of the legislation, including a section that grants government exclusive licensing rights to IT professionals.

Here are the basics:

1. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards development and compliance.
2. Licensing and certification of IT professionals.
3. Regulation of domain name contracts.
4. Executive authority to “shut down the Internet” when in interests of national security.

The bill is still in its infancy being referred to Committee, so now is the time to stop it! Take the time to write or call each of your Congressional representatives. You can look up your representatives’ name and contact information using this tool.

Here is a sample letter you can cut and paste to use as your own:

Details of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (S.773) have recently come to my attention. I am writing to voice my utter contempt for this proposed legislation and wish to document opposition to what I consider unacceptable expansion of federal authority into the cyber domain.

S.773 would give the federal government excessive power in regulating the Internet. The power to unilaterally shut down private networks, to garnish unprecedented digital data currently outside the realm of legal authority, and intrusion into commercial practices of professional certification are unacceptable.

Please take serious consideration in evaluating this measure. I urge you to support freedom of the Internet, individual privacy in digital information, and continue to let the private sector make certification and employment decisions without federal coercion.

We must actively fight the erosion of liberty and individual freedom, preserving the values that made this country great. Thank you for your time!

Watch Sen. Rockefeller discuss the bill below. It is not at all evident he truly understands what he’s talking about, yet this man wields power to control us all:

CALL TO ACTION:

On April 9th Texas Gov. Rick Perry joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states rights under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Tenth Amendment states:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

In his speech Gov. Perry states “I believe the federal government has become oppressive. I believe it has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion in the lives of its citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state.”

The Freedom Factory is launching a campaign to get every state government to adopt comparable legislation, reaffirming their legitimate rights within the context of a free American Republic.

We need to spread the word, to mobilize residents from every state in the Union to remind our public servants that we will not tolerate erosion of our rights and the Constitution that guarantees them.

Here’s a sample letter you are urged to send every public servant in your jurisdiction. Send this to your state’s governor and state legislatures, and leave a comment below to sign our petition:

The federal government has grown too big and too powerful, infringing upon the legal sovereign rights of our state affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. There is a resurgent federalist movement best highlighted by the Texas Legislature that I want implemented in [list your state]. The Texas legislature will soon be voting on House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 that reaffirms state sovereignty. We need similar legislation in our state.

No one in Washington D.C. knows how to run our state better than our own residents. I am tired of our government bowing to federal authority. I demand that we reassert our right to self governance. I urge you to do all you can to support this movement and regain control of our state from Washington D.C.

The residents of this state need you to protect them from a growing central government. I hope that you have the courage to stand up for those to whom you are responsible.

Here’s a great resource for finding the names and contact information for your elected representatives. Take a few minutes to cut and paste the sample letter into an e-mail and let these lawmakers know we mean business. Enough is enough!

Highlights from transcript:

I’m here today to offer my unwavering support to the millions of Texans that are tired of Washington D.C. trying to come down here and telling us how to run Texas.

The 10th Amendment was enacted by folks who remembered what it was like to have a very repressive government, to be under the thumb of tyrants and an all powerful government. Unfortunately, the protections it guarantees have melted away over the course of the years.

You’re prob familiar with that old adage of how to boil a frog: You just get him to sit there in that pot and you turn up the heat a little bit by a little bit, before you know it the frog doesn’t realize it, but he’s done.

And since the U.S. constitution has been ratified the federal government has been slowly turning up the heat, and they’ve eroded the notion of states rights.

Texans know best how to govern Texas. We’re proof that good things happen when government lowers taxes, and lowers regulations, it reduces spending and encourages private sector growth.

I happen to believe that the constitution does not empower the federal government to overrule state laws without restraint. I agree with Texas’s 7th governor, Sam Houston, who said “Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.”

I believe the federal government has become oppressive. I believe it has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion in the lives of its citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state.

In a review of intelligence activities by the Justice Department, the National Security Agency (NSA) was caught abusing its domestic surveillance authority, accessing e-mails and phone calls within the United States.

Despite the Justice Department taking “comprehensive steps to correct the situation and bring the program into compliance,” we should all write our legislators complaining about this infraction of our rights and demanding they take steps to prevent future illegal spying on our citizens. Here’s a sample letter you can send your representatives:

Senator/Representative _________,

Domestic eavesdropping is a serious issue for which I harbor deep concerns. Although limited authority to investigate suspicious individuals is reasonable given due cause, it is entirely unacceptable for any element of government to conduct intelligence gathering activities on the general citizenry without prior and specific court approval.

Law adopted by Congress in 2007 requires court approval to monitor purely domestic communications. Violation of this law by any public body should be immediately investigated, details made public, and offenders punished. Consequences must be made clear to public servants who violate the law.

Continued infractions of our liberties will not be tolerated. We look to Congress to re-evaluate domestic surveillance legislation and ensure it adequately protects our inalienable rights as citizens of a free country.

Here’s a great resource for finding the names and contact information for your Congressional representatives. Take a few minutes to cut and paste the sample letter into an e-mail and let these lawmakers know we mean business. Enough is enough!

Domestic eavesdropping has been a contentious issue since 2005, when it was discovered that for years following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the NSA intercepted international phone conversations and e-mails involving U.S. citizens without a warrant.

In 2007 Congress ended that program and passed legislation requiring the NSA to get court approval to monitor the purely domestic communications of Americans who came under suspicion. Since details of the Justice Department’s findings have not been made public it is not clear what aspects of the current law have been broken by the agency.
