Fw: Happy blonde' Easter
A man is driving along a highway and sees a rabbit jump out across the middle of the road. * He swerves to avoid hitting it, but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car. * * The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit.* * Much to his dismay, the rabbit is the Easter Bunny, and he is **DEAD **.* * The driver feels so awful** **that he begins to cry.** * * A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.* * She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong. * * I feel terrible, he explains, I accidentally hit the Easter Bunny with my car and KILLED HIM.* * The blonde says, Don't worry. * * She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can.* * She walks over to the limp, dead Easter Bunny, bends down, and sprays the contents onto him. The Easter Bunny jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road. Ten feet away he stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again and again, until he hops out of sight. The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands,* 0A* What is in that can?* * What did you spray on the Easter Bunny ? * * The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label. It says..* * (Are you ready for this?)* * (Are you sure?)* * (You know you're gonna be sorry) * * (Last chance)** ** (OK, here it is)** ** It says,** ** Hair Spray** Restores life to dead hair,* * and adds permanent wave.* -- http://votetom4council.webs.com/ www.moliberty.org http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com The power to tax involves the power to destroy. ~Justice John Marshall~ Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.) no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ A legislative act contrary to the Constitution is not law. ~Justice John Marshall~ http://www.radiofreeliberty.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ This is a Free Speech forum.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/42779197.html Keep the government from snooping in our e-mail *By Examiner Editorial* - 4/9/09 *Civilian libertarians were apoplectic over former President George W. Bush’s “warrantless wiretap” program, which sought to monitor communications from terrorist networks overseas. So why are they not screaming bloody murder now that President Barack Obama appears slated to receive unprecedented power to monitor all Internet traffic without a warrant and to even shut the system down completely on the pretext of national security? The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 - introduced by Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, and cosponsor Olympia Snowe, R-ME - bypasses all existing privacy laws and allows White House political operatives to tap into any online communication without a warrant, including banking, medical, and business records and personal e-mail conversations. This amounts to warrantless wiretaps on steroids, directed at U.S. citizens instead of foreign terrorists. * *The bill gives the Secretary of Commerce and a new national cybersecurity czar power to shut down all Internet transmissions in the event of a yet-to-be defined “cyber emergency.” This is a dangerous power, even for a president who in a 2008 campaign appearance at Dartmouth College harshly criticized Bush for anti-terrorist “wiretaps without warrants,” and promised that if elected he would leave such policies behind.* *There’s no doubt that serious deficiencies in cyber security remain a major threat to national security. Just this week, The Wall Street Journal reported that our electric grid has already been penetrated by Russian and Chinese hackers. But centralized eavesdropping in Washington and government licensing of cyber- security specialists is exactly the wrong approach. Jennifer Granick, director of civil liberties at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, says such an approach would actually make the Internet even more vulnerable by “basically establish[ing] a path for the bad guys to skip down.” The best response to increasing cyber threats, then, is less centralization - not more. This bill, which is a full frontal assault on our First Amendment rights, should be deleted from the congressional agenda immediately. Americans should tell President Obama and members of Congress in no uncertain terms that their cyber-security agents will get inside our e-mail only after they pry our cold, dead hands away from our keypads.* __._,_.___ Messages in this topic http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/message/1096;_ylc=X3oDMTM1NGx1dWRnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARtc2dJZAMxMDk2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTIzOTQ4MDQ4MgR0cGNJZAMxMDk2( 1) Reply (via web post) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxMXRlNjVyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARtc2dJZAMxMDk2BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTIzOTQ4MDQ4Mg--?act=replymessageNum=1096| Start a new topic http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYjZxbDRjBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1lAzEyMzk0ODA0ODI- Messageshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJmOWE3Nm1jBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNtc2dzBHN0aW1lAzEyMzk0ODA0ODI-| Fileshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJnbnI2NGFyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNmaWxlcwRzdGltZQMxMjM5NDgwNDgy| Photoshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJmNGdlNXQzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNwaG90BHN0aW1lAzEyMzk0ODA0ODI-| Linkshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJncWZqMW1nBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNsaW5rcwRzdGltZQMxMjM5NDgwNDgy| Databasehttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJkMW8xcDI0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNkYgRzdGltZQMxMjM5NDgwNDgy| Pollshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJnbG8xOWxuBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNwb2xscwRzdGltZQMxMjM5NDgwNDgy| Calendarhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Obamination-Abomination/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNmFjOWoxBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIzNDg5MjY0BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTQwNTM2OARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNjYWwEc3RpbWUDMTIzOTQ4MDQ4Mg-- MARKETPLACE -- From kitchen basics to easy recipes - join the Group from Kraft Foods

Subject: REMINDER..SEE MY NOTE: HR 875 - Lose your property for growing food.. Big Brother legislation could mean prosecution, fines up to $1 million NOTE TO ALL: I spoke with Henry Lamb today about this bill to see if Farm Bureau or Cattlemen's Association had taken a stand on this disastrous bill yet. Negative... he said that both organizations had been strangely silent about the bill and he was hearing very little from anyone else either, except Liberty Ark. Good grief...are people concentrating on one issue so much that they can't see the end of their ranching and farming and even their GARDENING AND THEIR PROPERTY hanging in the balance...just a few votes away.. No one contacts me about this bill either. NO ONE HAS RESPONDED TO MY QUESTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT THIS BILL WITHOUT MY INITIATING THE CONVERSATION AND ASKING THEM DIRECTLY. Only a couple of writer/activists and Kathy Lehman, who did an excellent analysis of the blasted thing has shown any interest, that I am aware of. It is like the bill doesn't exist. What the hell is going on...? Do you all think that these people are kidding when they say that the bill reads ANY farm or ranch, and that the penalties are one million dollars and land confiscation?

Big Brother legislation could mean prosecution, fines up to $1 million -- Posted: March 16, 2009 8:56 pm Eastern By Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily Some small farms and organic food growers could be placed under direct supervision of the federal government under new legislation making its way through Congress. *Food Safety Modernization Act* House Resolution 875, or the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, was introduced by *Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.*, in February. DeLauro's husband, Stanley Greenburg, works for *Monsanto* – the world's leading producer of herbicides and genetically engineered seed. DeLauro's act has *39 co-sponsors* and was referred to the House Agriculture Committee on Feb. 4. It calls for the creation of a Food Safety Administration to allow the government to regulate food production at all levels – and even mandates property seizure, fines of up to $1 million per offense and criminal prosecution for producers, manufacturers and distributors who fail to comply with regulations. Michael Olson, host of the Food Chain radio show and author of *Metro Farm*, told WND the government should focus on regulating food production in countries such as China and Mexico rather than burdening small and organic farmers in the U.S. with overreaching regulations. We need somebody to watch over us when we're eating food that comes from thousands and thousands of miles away. We need some help there, he said. But when food comes from our neighbors or from farmers who we know, we don't need all of those rules. If your neighbor sells you something that is bad and you get sick, you are going to get your hands on that farmer, and that will be the end of it. It regulates itself. *Want your vegetables to grow like crazy? Get the amazing natural fertilizer designed to maximize taste and nutrient density!* The legislation would establish the Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes. Federal regulators will be tasked with ensuring that food producers, processors and distributors – both large and small – prevent and minimize food safety hazards such as food-borne illnesses and contaminants such as bacteria, chemicals, natural toxins or manufactured toxicants, viruses, parasites, prions, physical hazards or other human pathogens. Under the legislation's broad wording, slaughterhouses, seafood processing plants, establishments that process, store, hold or transport all categories of food products prior to delivery for retail sale, farms, ranches, orchards, vineyards, aquaculture facilities and confined animal-feeding operations would be subject to strict government regulation. Government inspectors would be required to visit and examine food production facilities, including small farms, to ensure compliance. They would review food safety records and conduct surveillance of animals, plants, products or the environment. What the government will do is bring in industry experts to tell them how to manage all this stuff, Olson said. It's industry that's telling

The Constitution is a boardwalk over the mud of politics. Any step off of it, and you become mired in the most dangerous toil, always struggling for footing, always in danger of being sucked under. The usual metaphor for this is “a slippery slope,” but you don't need an incline to fall prey to the internecine in the modern “churning state.” All you need is mud, the usual muck from the unconstrained push and shove of politics. One step in, and the likelihood of getting out is much less. Often, the best you can do is lose your boot. You always come out smelling worse than when you entered.. To what events do we owe this extended metaphor? Michael Bloomberg's latest crusade: his campaign against our alleged over-use of salt. He says (using old and contested evidence) that the nation is using way too much salt, to our serious detriment. That's why he's pushing New York City government to take the crusade against salt nationwide.

A couple of weeks ago we had a neighborhood fundraiser(21st I believe), one of the ladies who sits on our board didn't even know how the city council elections went nor did she get out and vote for the representatives for our city, but she wanted to make sure she was home in time to vote for Adam on American Idol. Yes I watch A.I., Hell's Kitchen, House, NCIS and a host of other shows, I follow football pro more then college, watch Nascar, work around the house, have tow sons, a 23 year marriage which I DO NOT neglect and yet I can tell you who sits on council and how they vote. I can tell you about the local representation we have in this area up in Jeff City. I can even name many of the elected thieves in DC.

Re: We The People!
Actually Tina my post was not directed at anyone, except to harken back on what Jerry and Fred were trying to say. If it is important to people they will figure out a way to get it done. Some people follow politics, some people would rather fish. For the people who follow politics THANK YOU for being informed of what is happening in your community, state, or national governments. Which ever of the three you are following. For thos that only like to fish, please don't vote until you inform yourself of what is happening, far too often elections become popularity contest instead of about WHO is the BEST person to represent the views of teh community.

We've cut our cable service, by the way. Don't watch enough to justify the bill.

I've become pretty educated about how to maintain a pool and park, along with learning the history of the land that is now our neighborhood. So, because it directly impacts me, I've become educated, but I'm amazed at the number of people in our neighborhood who have lived there for longer than we have who just don't care. So, I know what you're talking about, but all it takes is one person on fire to ignite the rest. So, thanks for being that fire, and keeping this in front of all of us.

Re: Census GPS-tagging your home's front door
one of our church members is doing this and he seems OK with the idea. He said the use is so they can measure from your front door to the sidewalk.

You have to figure that one of two things is going on: 1) it is simply an enormous waste of taxpayer money put together by complete idiots or 2) there is an unstated (and possibly sinister) reason for gathering the data. Either might be true, but neither is very good and in either case the officials should be fired. Census spokesman Stephen Buckner told WND the activity is, in fact, proper, and even necessary. There are homes being built and torn down constantly, and the census needs such information. Local building records and other government databases such as tax records would not suffice, he said. And? If the problem is timeliness of data, how timely are GPS coordinates take A YEAR IN ADVANCE in a 90-day window going to be? There are 140,000 workers walking every street of America, he told WND, in order to document 145 million addresses with GPS coordinates. At minimum wage for 100 hours each, that is some $85 million. At that price, the procedure does not just have to be necessary, it has to be EIGHTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS worth of necessary in a bad economy. And that does not include the price of maybe $3 million in GPS equipment, the software, and all the other garbage they bought for this process. He assured WND that all such personal information is confidential, because employees of contractors doing the work are subject to a $250,000 fine or imprisonment for five years for revealing personal information. He also confirmed that the last case that was prosecuted under the law was nearly 50 years ago. Sure, just like classified plans for our cruise missile defense system are confidential and would never be leaked on a used hard drive for sale on e-Bay. Or Los Alamos would never misplace hard drives with sensitive nuclear information. Or the Veterans Administration would never lose a laptop with millions of veterans' personal information, or...

Fwd: Video: Humane Society of the United States Fundraising Scandal
-- Forwarded message -- From: Townhall Spotlight townhallmess...@townhallmail.com Date: Mon, May 18, 2009 at 12:51 PM Subject: Video: Humane Society of the United States Fundraising Scandal To: tom martz t.ma...@gmail.com *Humane Society of the United States Fundraising Scandal! * When you hear the words “Humane Society,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Is it a pet shelter where families can adopt unwanted dogs and cats? Or is it a super-rich animal rights lobbying group that runs absolutely no pet sheltershttp://www.townhallmail.com/fffjqggr_gkejdplt.html, and gives *less than 4 percent* of its $100 million budget to those who do? We thought so. Meet the Humane Society of the United Stateshttp://www.townhallmail.com/ewwtenne_gkejdplt.html. This slick and moneyed PETA clone has pulled the wool over the eyes of countless Americans—including Rush Limbaughhttp://www.townhallmail.com/ujjgdmmf_gkejdplt.html, who recently recorded two public service announcements for the group. Last week WSB-TV in Atlanta uncovered what Rush has somehow been unable to see http://www.townhallmail.com/pxxozkko_gkejdplt.html: that HSUS is “an organization actively misleading donors to get money.” http://www.townhallmail.com/dhhylajc_gkejdplt.html[image: HSUS_Expose.jpg]http://www.townhallmail.com/yqqzfmpd_gkejdplt.htmlhttp://www.townhallmail.com/ayyekrjy_gkejdplt.htmlIf you enjoy a good steak, if you hunt or fish, if you wear leather shoes, if you take your kids to the circus, if you (or a family member) owe your life to medical research that involved lab animals—the Humane Society of the United States doesn’t share your values. The group has the same agenda as PETA http://www.townhallmail.com/iccedfgf_gkejdplt.html and the rest of the animal rights industry. And it *is* an industry. The Humane Society of the United States has an astonishing $200 million in the bank. If you are a Humane Society of the United States donor, it’s time to reconsider that decision. Thousands of struggling pet shelters—*legitimate *Humane Societies—could use your help. There’s a good chance at least one of them is in your own community. And unlike the Humane Society of the United States, they’re not working overtime to ban hunting fishing, cancel the circus, turn your boots into contraband, or stop cancer research in its tracks.

We placed an IV catheter and started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine over 7 with no urine production after a liter of fluids. At that point I felt the dog was in acute* *Renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight a**s well as overnight care. * *He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values continued to increase daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a* *Diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting medications and they still couldn't control his vomiting. Today his urine output decreased again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure, which had been staying around* *150, skyrocketed to 220. He continued to vomit, and the owners elected to e**uthanize. This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners who had no idea raisins could be a toxin. Please alert everyone you know who has a dog of this very serious risk.* *Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic.

CU eminent domain
Subject: Eminent Domain Hi Tom, Would you please post to the MoLiCo that City Council is having two meetings regarding the eminent domain issue over Becky Spence's downtown property this week. The first is Tuesday at 12 Noon in Council chambers where CU will be making a PowerPoint presentation on the site-selection process for the bus transfer station, then the Council will go into closed session to decide which of 3 resolutions on this issue (or none) will be presented on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in an open session also in Council chambers. A strong public showing at the Wednesday evening meeting is imperative as CU has not withdrawn its motion to lift the stay on the property.

It's a long time to wait for anything, especially about whether you can keep doing business on your own property. That's what Karen Haug and her company, Advance Shoring, have endured since the early '90s. That was when the port authority of St. Paul, Minnesota announced plans to grab the company's property for somebody else's private use. Advance Shoring, founded by Haug's father in 1960, has been fighting the grab ever since. The port authority has now officially abandoned its plan, agreeing to seek to acquire the property only by voluntary means. Haug says: “I'm breathing a sigh of relief for our business and employees. . . . Now we can return to running our business.” As so often in battles to protect innocent Americans against eminent domain abuse, some credit must go to the Institute for Justice. In publicly heralding the port authority's decision, Lee McGrath, of IJ's Minnesota chapter, urged city officials to recognize that “the port authority's past uses of eminent domain are now illegal under Minnesota's 2006 reforms,” and to strip the port authority of its power to condemn properties. The port authority, for its part, seems annoyed that there's been publicity about its defeat. They say they'd been hoping to keep the matter quiet. Poor fellows. I weep for them; crocodiles have such tears. This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

It would do so by making virtually everything that depends on energy -- which is virtually everything -- more expensive. The president didn't describe the legislation in those terms on Saturday, but he made no bones about ithttp://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/06/27/flashback_obama_says_cap_and_trade_makes_electricity_rates_skyrocket.htmllast year. In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in January 2008, he calmly explained how cap-and-trade -- the carbon-dioxide rationing scheme that is at the heart of Waxman-Markey -- would work: Actually, there hasn't been any for 10 years Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket . . . because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, natural gas, you name it. . . . Whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money, and they will pass that [cost] on to consumers. In the same interview, Obama suggested that his energy policy would require the ruin of the coal industryhttp://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/02/obama-well-bankrupt-any-new-coal-plants. If somebody wants to build a coal-fired plant, they can, he told the Chronicle. It's just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted. The justification for inflicting all this financial misery, of course, is the onrushing catastrophe of human-induced global warming -- a catastrophe that can be prevented only if we abandon the carbon-based fuels on which most of the prosperity and productivity of modern life depend. But what if that looming catastrophe isn't real? What if climate change has little or nothing to do with human activityhttp://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/27/man%E2%80%99s-contribution-to-global-warming? What if enacting cap-and-trade means incurring excruciating costs in exchange for infinitesimal http://masterresource.org/?p=2355 benefits? Hush, says Obama. Don't ask such questions. And don't listen to anyone who does. There is no longer a debate about whether carbon pollution is placing our planet in jeopardy, he declaredhttp://www.rollcall.com/news/36360-1.htmlin his Saturday remarks. It's happening. No debate? The president, like Humphrey Bogarthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8ATo3vNmu0, must have been misinformed. The debate over global warming is more robust than it has been in years, and not only in America. In April, the Polish Academy of Sciences published a document challenging man-made global warming, Kimberly Strassel noted in The Wall Street Journalhttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB124597505076157449.htmlthe other day. In France, President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to tap Claude Allegre to lead the country's new ministry of industry and innovation. Twenty years ago Allegre was among the first to trill about man-made global warming, but the geochemist has since recanted. . . . Norway's Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the 'new religion.' Closer to home, the noted physicist Hal Lewis (emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara) e-mails me a copy of a statement he and several fellow scientists, including physicists Will Happerhttp://www.princeton.edu/physics/people/faculty/william-happerand Robert Austin http://www.princeton.edu/physics/people/faculty/robert-austin of Princton, Laurence Gouldhttp://uhaweb.hartford.edu/lgould/ACADESUMforWebsite22Aug2007.htmof the University of Hartford, and climate scientist Richard Lindzen http://www-eaps.mit.edu/faculty/lindzen.htm of MIT, have sent to Congress. The sky is not falling, they write. Far from warming, the Earth has been cooling for 10 years -- a trend that was *not* predicted by the alarmists' computer models. Fortune magazine recently

A bill proposed by Congressman Ron Paul would shine a light on the mysterious goings-on at the Federal Reserve. The Fed has been sopping up many billions in toxic assets, creating money hocus-pocus, loaning vast fortunes to central banks in other countries, and in general behaving as if its actions cannot have bad consequences. HR 1207, introduced in February, would authorize the GAO to audit the Fed's various funding facilities, used with such abandon over the last year. Look under the hood, see what's going on in nitty-gritty detail. Doesn't sound very radical. But the Fed is accustomed to being “independent,” i.e., unaccountable. Yet as Jim Grant, editor of a publication that monitors interest rates, has observed, if the Fed had to accept the auditing it requires of others, it would be regarded as insolvent. Except, of course, for that whole create-money-out-of-thin-air thing. President Obama, a.k.a. Mr. Transparency, has said zilch to support the bill. Still, with over 150 Republicans and over 50 Democrats cosponsoring the legislation, it now has enough votes to pass if congressional leadership allows a vote. An audit with a negative outcome would not force the Fed to shut down. But it would provide more ammo for those interested in slowing or stopping fiscal insanity. And that, too, should be bipartisan.

[image: Help Us End This Cruelty] [image: ASPCA Volunteers] *ASPCA ASSISTS IN LARGEST DOG FIGHTING CRACKDOWN IN U.S. HISTORY * On Wednesday, July 8, the ASPCA began assisting federal and state agencies in what is believed to be the largest crackdown on dog fighting in U.S. history. The raid spans eight states so far—Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska and Mississippi. Arrests have been made in all eight states. Nearly 400 rescued dogs were safely transported to a secure facility under the direction of the Humane Society of Missouri’s (HSMO) Animal Cruelty Task Force, where they will be cared for until final disposition is determined by the U.S. District Court. [image: Help End Cruelty]http://www2.aspca.org/site/R?i=fYEjDTJItmM83RPi3yneFQ.. “The ASPCA is determined to protect the nation’s pets from dog fighting and other forms of brutality,” says ASPCA President CEO Ed Sayres. “Animal cruelty cannot be tolerated, and we are proud to lend our support to federal and local agencies to ensure that these abusers are brought to justice.” At the request of HSMO, the ASPCA is lending the services of its special forensic cruelty investigation team—including disaster animal rescuers, field service investigators and Dr. Melinda Merck, the nation’s premier forensic veterinarian—to collect evidence for the prosecution of the criminal case. The ASPCA’s Mobile Animal Crime Scene Investigation Unit, outfitted with medical equipment tailored specifically for animal patients, is also on hand. The ASPCA will also eventually assist in behavior evaluations of the dogs. Dog fighting is banned throughout the United States and is a felony in all 50 states. If convicted of animal fighting charges, those arrested each face up to five years in prison. Your support makes it possible for the ASPCA to rescue animals from this horrendous life. Your generosity allows our experts to collect the evidence needed to build cases against and prosecute animal cruelty offenders. *Photos: The ASPCA in Action—ASPCA team members on the ground in Missouri assisting in largest-ever dog fighting raid. * [image: Help End Cruelty]http://www2.aspca.org/site/R?i=P6m1SGl_VyJcRsw1a9FkHA..

*From:* Freedom21 National Conference [mailto: freedom21_national_confere...@mail.vresp.com] *AUGUST 13 - 15 Midwest City (Oklahoma City)* *Subject:* Freedom21 Conference to Feature Health Freedom; special registration fee options *[image: am-tyranny-09.JPG]http://cts.vresp.com/c/?AmericanPolicyCenter/7fb5f86ad4/832a4cd2ee/da2bbf02ce * *Freedom21 National Conference to Feature Health Freedom * *Conference coordinators issue call to health freedom activists to join forces with the Freedom21 movement * This year’s 10th Annual Freedom 21 National Conference will feature a special “Health Freedom” session, highlighting leaders in the struggle to stop the federal takeover of health care – specifically focusing on the threat to natural health care and supplement use. While Freedom 21’s main focus is on international and national policies that threaten American property rights and privacy rights, Tom DeWeese, Conference Coordinator, says it is vital that the large and active Health Freedom Movement fully understand that both movements are fighting many of the same battles. “We need to coordinate efforts and combine forces if we are to win,” says DeWeese. The Health Freedom session will include Dr. Jeff Marrongelle, a Certified Clinical Nutritionist and a pioneer researcher in the effects of Electromagnetic fields on the Human Physiology. Dr. Marrongelle will give a fast history of American medicine and discuss how the federal government is taking away our right of health care choice. He will also lead a 90 minute interactive workshop. Also featured is Dr. Jane Orient, Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (APPS), discussing “Caps, Quotas, and Czars: The Plan to Wreck American Medicine.” The third speaker is Scott Tips, President of the National Health Federation, the world’s oldest health-freedom organization. Mr. Tipps will discuss the international efforts to control natural supplements through the Codex Alimentarius. The rest of the Freedom21 programhttp://cts.vresp.com/c/?AmericanPolicyCenter/7fb5f86ad4/832a4cd2ee/4cd3b7fffdcovers all aspects of the freedom movement, from the United Nations and it’s restructuring of our nation through Sustainable Development, to the crisis of an International ID surveillance system. It will present the latest threats concerning gun control, education, global warming, and the Trans Texas Corridor. All these issues are discussed, participants will also learn about the growing freedom movement organizing to fight back. They’ll hear from the growing voice of youth; the incredible new communications technology now helping us communicate our message around the national media; the need for a new Continental Congress. There will be training workshops; a rally for two Freedom21 supporters now running for governor in their respective states; and the presentation of the first-ever Freedom’s Heroes Awardhttp://cts.vresp.com/c/?AmericanPolicyCenter/7fb5f86ad4/832a4cd2ee/c019672d96. Participants can mix and mingle with some of their favorite freedom leaders; there will be book signings; and at the Friday night banquet participants will have an opportunity to renew their dedication to liberty by signing a historic document in a dramatic ceremony. [image: f21-banner-09.JPG]http://cts.vresp.com/c/?AmericanPolicyCenter/7fb5f86ad4/832a4cd2ee/38577d4c01All of this and more is taking place August 13 – 15 in Oklahoma City. The $245, all inclusive early bird registration fee has been extended until July 30th – a $50 savings.

They have to pay it or risk losing everything they’ve worked for. We don’t need socialized medicine.

However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since Joe and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward this on. On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date. On about Tuesday Joe found out that they would be holding the Town Hall at the airport. (This is only because Joe knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote location.. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public. FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/ auditoriums) . All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $ During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $ Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday. Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. H..900 tickets just DISAPPEARED. This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $ One can only imagine what else we are paying for. On Friday Joe and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd. The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them.professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area) Those against

One of those supporters was 83-year-old Frank Manning, founder of the Massachusetts Association of Older Americans. He's not a plaster saint, he's not without his faults, Manning said in the ad. But we wouldn't want a plaster saint. I didn't vote for Kennedy in 1982 or any other year, and I have certainly never thought of him as a sainthttp://www.jeffjacoby.com/3253/mired-in-kennedy-country, plaster or otherwise. Play-to-win politics, not piety, has been the essence of his long career in the Senate. He has a gift for the poignant gesture, the moving turn of phrase; there is no denying he is a deft hand at evoking the affection of his many admirers. But beneath the tug at the heartstrings, there is always shrewd political calculation. Those 1982 TV spots, for example, had less to do with Kennedy's re-election in Massachusetts, which was never in doubt, than with the prospect of another presidential campaign and the need to improve his image in neighboring New Hampshire, where he had suffered a crushing defeat in the Democratic primary two years earlier. Today Kennedy is gravely ill with brain cancer, but his political instincts are as sharp as ever. Given his condition, the letter he senthttp://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Third_Party_PDF/2009/08/20/kennedy_letter__1250757221_6262-2.pdfto Massachusetts political leaders last week could not help but generate a fresh wave of sympathy -- I am now writing to you, it said, about an issue that concerns me deeply -- the continuity of representation for Massachusetts, should a vacancy occur. As a human being, Kennedy is surely grateful for that sympathy. As a canny political navigator, he reckons it may provide the cover needed to change Massachusetts law so as to benefit his party. Kennedy wants the Legislature to upend the succession law it passed in 2004, when -- at his urginghttp://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2004/06/11/special_election_bill_gets_new_life-- it stripped away the governor's longstanding power to temporarily fill a Senate vacancy. Back then, John Kerry was a presidential candidate and Republican Mitt Romney was governor; Kennedy lobbied state Democrats to change the law so that Romney couldn't name Kerry's successor. They followed his advice with gusto. When the final vote took place, the Boston Globe reportedhttp://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2004/07/31/romney_veto_overridden, hooting and hollering broke out on the usually staid House floor, and House Speaker Thomas Finneran acknowledged candidly: It's a political deal. It's very raw politics. It still is. Now that Massachusetts has a Democratic governor, Kennedy is lobbying to restore the gubernatorial power to name an interim appointee who would serve until a new senator could be elected. That would guarantee Democrats in Washington two reliable Senate votes from Massachusetts, even if Kennedy isn't there to cast one of them. Needless to say, Kennedy's letter says nothing about raw politics. No, it's all lofty principle and good governmenthttp://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Third_Party_PDF/2009/08/20/kennedy_letter__1250757221_6262-2.pdf. It is vital for this commonwealth to have two voices speaking for the needs of its citizens and two votes in the Senate during the approximately five months between a vacancy and an election, he writes. Well, if Kennedy is sincere -- if his chief concern is that Massachusetts not be left for months without the services of a full-time senator -- then he should do the right thing right now: He should resign. For well over a year, Massachusetts has not had the two voices . . . and two votes in the Senate that Kennedy himself says its voters are entitled to. Sickness has kept him away from Capitol Hill for most of the last 15 months. He has missed all but a handful of the 270 roll-callshttp://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/k000105/votes/missed/taken in the Senate so far this year, including votes on the Children's

My contribution appears below. To read the others, by Joan Vennochi, Derrick Z. Jackson, and Scot Lehigh, as well as guest columns by Alan Wolfe and Martin F. Nolan, please visit* *www.boston.com/opinion*http://www.boston.com/opinion *.* BY MY LIGHTS, Ted Kennedy was wrong about most of the great issues of our time. Abroad, he failed to take seriously the stakes in the Cold War. Today, with the exception of East Germany, Russia has no more satellites, he wrote in 1968, the year Soviet tanks invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring. He hailed Leonid Brezhnev, the Soviet dictator, as a warm individual . . . completely committed to peace. He fought to cut off aid to South Vietnam and Cambodia in 1975 -- aid that might have prevented a horrific communist bloodbath. In recent years he was willing to consign millions to the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, opposing not only the 2003 liberation of Iraq but even the 1991 campaign to roll back the occupation of Kuwait. In domestic policy, too, Kennedy supported much that I thought misguided, especially the burgeoning of the welfare state, the reckless expansion of entitlements, and the vast growth in federal power. Once I asked him if there was any legislation he regretted having supported. Yes, he said -- he no longer favored some of the deregulation he had voted for. The natural progress of things, said Thomas Jefferson, is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. Over the course of -- and in great measure thanks to -- Kennedy's 46 years as a US senator, the yardage gained by the government was immense. Yet I have always admired the power and sincerity with which Kennedy pressed his views. Give him this: He knows what he believes in and doesn't hide it, I once wrote in a column. Kennedy rarely frets about whether his stand on an issue is politically popular. Born into riches and influence, Kennedy could have lived a life of ease, indulging his appetites and paying scant attention to those far less fortunate. He chose a different life, and became a prodigious advocate for the deprived, the disabled, and the dispossessed. I didn't always like his answers, but I honor him for caring so greatly about the questions.

Re: Question with Boldness, Hold to the Truth, Speak Without Fear
Cathy, It makes no difference which administration is controlling the power the bills are not written by the people who do the voting, however in this day and age of political one upsmanship we need to point out the flaws of the competition while remaining silent about the flaws of our (or the other) side. an they wonder why most people don't vote, they are tired of the one sided BS that goes on in the mainstream media and talk radio.

HSUS is writing the majority of the bills that are going on across the nation against animal ownership.

This is how they ensure that their agenda is promoted and not something that they don’t want. Sorry, my eyes have been opened this past couple of years fighting the HSUS. Politicians in the majority of this are just puppets for the lobbyists with the most money to pull their strings. We have to cut these strings (money) and thrown the politicians out. Then we have to make laws where no money from lobbyists or big interests can ever legally get their strings attached to the politicians again. When they do break the law (both) we need to prosecute instead of turning our heads and saying, “Well, that is Washington, D.C.” *CathyM* *Catren's Shar Pei* *Catren's Leather Show Accessories* Kill The Killing Fields Bills of the HSUS www.americanssupportinganimalownership.com No virus found in this outgoing message.

Fwd: Help stop government-run health care.
Health care reform is getting a lot of press coverage lately. It's an issue that is important to me and I'm writing to share some thoughts about it with you. Right now, Congress is considering different proposals to reform the American health care system. Many in Washington believe that creating a government-run health plan is better than working to improve the current system. I think they are wrong - the best way to ensure quality, control costs and provide broader access is to build a stronger private-sector health care system. I've joined a group called the Health Action Network that is working to achieve that goal. I encourage you to join, too. Through the Health Action Network, I am able to stay informed about the ongoing public policy discussions. Its website also provides tools that make it easy for me to communicate with elected officials about health care issues. There is no cost to join or participate. Health care is critically important to all of us. Please visit the Health Action Network, www.healthactionnetwork.com, and join me in supporting public policies that will make our nation’s health care system stronger.

While I respect the President's point of view, and hope for an eventual compromise, I believe his proposal amounts to an egregiously expensive and expansive form of government-run health care. After a month of hosting and attending town hall meetings wit h my constituents in Arizona and around the country, I know that Americans want health care reform. But what is so very clear to me is that Americans want to reform health care in the right way. I am more convinced than ever that we must fix what is wrong with our health care system while doing no harm to the parts that work well. This means we need to have malpractice reform, we must emphasize wellness and fitness, give people the option to get the health insurance of their choice and bring the cost of health care under control. If you agree, that we need to reform health care reform the right way, then I ask you to sign my health care reform petition today by following this link http://link.johnmccain.com/?194-574-179943-2202. I am very troubled by the potential cost of the President's outlined plans. I know that you are very concerned with the national debt and a projected $9 trillion deficit. The prospective co st of the President's plan could reach $2 trillion, and frankly, our country simply cannot afford this price tag. I will not support heath care reform that adds to the out-of-control spending spree the Democrats in Congress have gone on this year. And I ask you to join me in rejecting the addition of $2 trillion of debt by signing this petition right away http://link.johnmccain.com/?194-574-179943-2202. Government-run health care is something we simply cannot afford, and I know that the majority of Americans agree with me that it is not the quality of health care that needs reforming, but the cost. But, I need to know you stand with me. Will you follow this link to sign my petitionhttp://link.johnmccain.com/?194-574-179943-2202 ? As you know, the Democrats in Washington are doing everything in their power to push through their proposed reform full of political gimmicks. Your action today will send a clear messagehttp://link.johnmccain.com/?194-574-1+79943-2202to them; we don' t want government-run health care.

Re: Huck
Why didn't HUCKPac make that same claim on the numerous bailouts that were voted on before B.O. was elected. Then many republicans wouldn't be getting funding and HUCKPac wouldn't need to fund raise. On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 10:49 PM, larmelt...@aol.com wrote: * President Obama tried a reboot last night.… He attempted to apply CPR to the flat-lining health care reform bill with a dramatic speech to both houses of Congress. He tried to bring back his campaign-era bipartisan tone, saying he wanted to incorporate ideas from all sides. His new buzzwords were “market exchange,” “competition” “rugged individualism” and “tax credits.” He hammered on things, like requiring insurers to cover preventative care, or doing away with pre-existing condition limits. He even called for letting states do pilot projects to reduce frivolous malpractice lawsuits. He does however want to mandate that everyone carry health insurance, but he promised that 95 percent of small businesses would be exempt. And he swore that the public option wouldn’t require anyone to give up their current plan…although notice that isn’t a promise that your plan will still exist after the bill takes effect. His promise that this plan will actually reduce the deficit was harder to swallow than a horse pill. Does anyone except for the Obama White House and Nancy Pelosi really believe that a new government health care program will be so efficient that it can be paid for just with all the waste and fraud we can wring out of another government health care program, Medicare? Still, the President has a bigger problem than that. I’ll tell you what it is. President Obama’s biggest problem is that last night, he made many clearly-stated promises that sound great – health care for all, lower costs, free colonoscopies – but that’s not what Congress is about to vote on. He talked as if the process is just starting, but there’s already a bill before Congress, and it’s a murky, 1,018-page monstrosity, and nobody can explain for certain what it says. So here is my suggestion, if the President really wants to create a bipartisan, market-based health reform bill, the best way to start is not with a rebooted speech, but by booting the current bill and starting over from scratch. Let me also explain where Huck PAC stands on Obama-care. Huck PAC will not endorse any Republican candidate that votes for the government takeover of health care. And if we have endorsed your campaign, and you vote for this monstrosity of a bill, we will revoke your endorsement immediately. As Chairman of Huck PAC, I ask that you endorse Huck PAC’s stand with a contribution of $25 or more today. In fact, we are setting a goal of 1,000 donors by this time next week. That will give us the dollars we need to support fiscally responsible candidates who are willing to fight back against the government takeover of health carehttps://www.huckpac.com/?Fuseaction=Contribute.Home. Make a contribution today and show the candidates seeking Huck PAC’s endorsement that we are committed to conservative principles and they must be also https://www.huckpac.com/?Fuseaction=Contribute.Home.

I see one of two scenarios with this.

(Header 'clarified' by Drudge.) ~ Source: http://www.kctv5.com/news/21176602/detail.html# Obama Nation Billboard Draws Attention New Sign Along I-70 Has Motorists Talking POSTED: 6:43 pm CDT October 1, 2009 UPDATED: 7:03 pm CDT October 1, 2009 BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. -- Drivers on Interstate 70 can barely see the billboard but once they do the message has been gaining attention. The billboard is located along I-70 between the Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exits. The billboard reads, How do you like your change now? Obama Nation. They are coming for you! The Taxpayer. First and Second Amendments are in jeopardy. Live free or Die. There is also a hammer and sickle on the sign. People said they might not agree with the sentiment of the sign, but they felt it was a matter of free speech. Others that KCTV5 talked to said it is offensive and should come down. A pastor who drives by the sign during his daily commute to his church said he lived in England for years and he agreed with the message. We lived in a socialist society and I guess what I am seeing in America is that we are pushing to some of those ways now, he said. Especially the hospitalization. It's taken away some of our freedoms as Americans. KCTV5 could not reach the owner of the billboard. The mayor of Blue Springs said his office has gotten calls and e-mails about the sign. -- Edward + I wonder how the world sees us.

Fwd: [Transquesta] A Supreme Question
A Supreme Question Do we have the free speech to write about and show videos of hunting or should the government have the power to prosecute us as it sees fit? By Frank Miniter, Executive Field Editor Last October the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on a freedom-of-speech case that will affect this magazine, American Hunter Television and all other depictions of hunting that are sold or distributed. The case is U.S. v. Stevens. This constitutional fight began when the federal government used a 1999 statute designed to combat the sale of animal-cruelty depictions to prosecute Robert Stevens for selling films that show pit bulls being legally used to hunt wild boars and dogfight footage shot in Japan (where dog fighting was then legal). Stevens was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison; however, a federal appeals court overturned the conviction because it declared the federal law violated the First Amendment. The law's vague language gives the government the ability to bar the creation, sale or possession of any depiction of animal cruelty; in fact, the statute potentially criminalizes the intentional killing of any animal, including game killed by hunters-hence, the First Amendment violation. This is the question the Supreme Court agreed to answer. Anti-hunters love the law; in fact, Michael Markarian, the EVP/COO of The Humane Society of the United States, an anti-hunting group, said, The truth is there is nothing in the Depictions of Animal Cruelty Act that could possibly affect lawful sport hunting. But that's not true, says Stefan Tahmassebi, NRA Deputy General Counsel. The statute makes it a 5-year federal felony to create, sell or possess any depiction, including photographs or video, in which an animal is wounded or killed. What happens in hunting? An animal is killed. Even if the activity is lawful in one state, selling the depiction in a jurisdiction where it is prohibited could result in a 5-year sentence. The law does make exceptions for works of ‘serious education, journalistic or artistic value,' but a jury in San Francisco or Washington, D.C., may see no value at all in any hunting video. Arguing on behalf of Stevens, Patricia Millett indicated that a properly drawn statute, aimed only at certain videos, might be constitutionally valid. But she said, Congress has a job to write with a scalpel and not a buzz saw in the First Amendment area. The Supreme Court justices concentrated on the First Amendment question. For example, when speaking to the government's attorney, Neal Katyal, Justice Stephen Breyer commented, You take these words, which are a little vague ... and you say that's a standard that a judge or prosecutor will apply. And people have to understand it because they have to know what to do to avoid the risk of being prosecuted. Now, as I have gotten out of these briefs, you then require people to apply that standard, not simply to the crush videos or to the dog fighting, but also to ... bullfighting, sheep hunting, bear hunting, deer hunting, fox hunting, humane slaughter and for, I think somewhere I found, the stuffing geese for pâté de fois gras. When further pressed Katyal was forced to parry the point by saying, Hunting is generally not considered animal cruelty. But Justice John Stevens said, But hunting with a bow and arrow, and some depictions of hunting are pretty gruesome. Katyal replied, That's correct. And to the extent that it is something that resembles the terms of the statute, the language of which is ‘maimed, mutilated, tortured, wounded, or killed.' At which time Justice Antonin Scalia pointed out the word kill has a definition that is not vague; indicating, as it stands, that this law could result in the prosecution of anyone who sells a hunting video. So now we wait for the high court to decide if we have the free speech to write about and show videos of hunting or if the government should have the power to prosecute us as it sees fit. We'll let you know what they decide. http://americanhunter.org/ArticlePage.aspx?cid=42id=2148 -- Windows 7: Unclutter your desktop.

Fwd: Fw: WHY YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING
WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target. Dear Mrs. Williams, Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Williams, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras. 1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking. 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals. 3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom. 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money. 5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of MMs on layaway. 6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area. 7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged. 8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called. 9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose. 10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were. 11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme. 12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels. 13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!' 14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!' And last, but not least: 15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out. -- no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. ~Goethe www.moliberty.org http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com The power to tax involves the power to destroy. ~Justice John Marshall~ Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.)

it appears indeed that the city is in direct competition with the private sector with an advantage
*As our Parks Director, Jodie Adams, is presently out of town, she asked that I respond back to your e-mail inquiry. We are indeed selling a limited number of Christmas trees at the Rutledge-Wilson Farm as a part of our “Christmas at the Farm” event, which runs the weekends of Dec. 5-6 and Dec. 12-13. The request for Christmas tree sales had been a consistent and overwhelming request from the public during the first two years of the Christmas at the Farm event so we worked to better address that resident concern with our 2009 event. Basically, we contracted for a limited number of Christmas trees (100) through regular bidding process guidelines as required by the City’s Purchasing Division. We then offer the program as a “break-even” type of service to interested patrons visiting the park, with tree prices starting at $35 (6 ft.) and ranging to $50 (8 ft.) and $75 (10 ft.), based upon size and condition. As you might imagine, our feedback from the public regarding this service has been extremely positive. Hopefully this information will serve to assist as you respond back to your constituent. As always, please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Re: it appears indeed that the city is in direct competition with the private sector with an advantage
Jim, Unlike a private entity the city has the attention of mass media without charge and they have the capability of putting leaflets in all the libraries and all the government owned businesses. I could care less whether there trees are more expensive or less NO government entity should be in direct competition with the private sector unless the commodity being supplied by the private sector is inferior in some manner and government is our last hope to receive this commodity.

As you might imagine, our feedback from the public regarding this service has been extremely positive. Indeed. The specific problem is that by selling the trees at a break even cost, they are not accounting for the taxpayer subsidy of their own administrative overhead, the sales venue, advertising, etc. A business cannot simply ignore those costs and is at an unfair advantage. Why not allow vendors to pay a small fee to come in and sell their trees. Then the vendor is paying for their own overhead and can make the competitive decision of whether the venue is worth the cost. Not to mention a small amount of revenue for the park which does not need to be taken out of citizens' pockets by force. Or do this through the Springfield farmers' market which is already set up as a public produce sales venue. It is the exact same problem with accounting for government health care. There is a lot of overhead service provided to Medicare by other government agencies (e.g. IRS, GAO, HHS) which is not accounted for in the cost of Medicare service or calculated in the 'savings' over private insurance. It is dishonest bookkeeping. It is criminal when Enron does it, it should be criminal when the government does it.

Fwd: THE SURGERY
At Sunday Church The minister asked if anyone would like to give praise for answered prayers. A woman stepped up to the podium. She Said her husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle crash that crushed his scrotum. The pain was terrible. Men in the congregation gasped in empathy. He couldn’t hold me or the children and was in pain at every moment. The doctors did a delicate five-hour operation and pieced together the remains of Tom’s scrotum and wrapped wire around it. The men shuddered as they imagined the horrible surgery. Now, thanks to the Lord, his scrotum is healed, she said. The men sighed with relief as she went back to her seat. Then, a man slowly made his way to the podium. All he said was this, “Hi, I’m Tom. I just wanted to tell my wife that the word is sternum. -- no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. ~Goethe www.moliberty.org http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com The power to tax involves the power to destroy. ~Justice John Marshall~ Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.)

Not that I would expect Greggy BOY to understand the concept of how great this would be for the poor and the community, he's opposed to any idea that makes sense but it wasn't his. I got this in my Alderman email address today from Nixa’s City Administrator. It’s open to the Sunshine Law because it was sent to our entire Board of Aldermen so I’m not sharing anything with you that should be kept confidential. If you will look at the email addresses that these city administrators have sent this to, you’ll see it has went to almost every community in southwest Missouri. They are mounting a campaign to pressure state law makers on the state FairTax to vote against it. Normally I would have taken this to the radio on Vince’s show, but without that opportunity, I hope we can get the word out through TYCOA and any other avenues necessary. There needs to be equal pushback on our state representatives and senators City administrators, if they are worth anything, make sure to have a first-name relationship with their respective state congressmen. It already mentions Norma Champion on the side of being against the FairTax (anyone who has listened to Vince’s show shouldn’t be surprised about her being against) but we need to make sure they hear from the constituents, not just the bureaucrats! ~ Mike Durbin *From:* Brian Bingle [mailto:b_bin...@nixa.com] *Sent:* Tuesday, January 12, 2010 4:34 PM *To:* 'michael durbin'; 'barb stillings'; 'brian hayes'; 'charles mccorkle'; 'judy long'; 'kevin elmer'; 'kyle vogel' *Cc:* 'travis cossey'; 'Donna Swatzell'; 'Doug Colvin'; 'James Bacon'; 'Kelly Hasner'; 'Sharon Hankison' *Subject:* FW: Missouri Budget Project -Original Message- *From:* J.

Last year the Senate had a brief hearing at the very end of the session. The area House delegation is supportive and the bill will “fly” through the House. I visited with Senator Champion this afternoon. She has a grasp of the issue and is skeptical given her City Council background. As I previously mentioned the Senate Majority Leader Engler told me several weeks ago that some sort of fair tax will pass this year. This situation is very troubling.

Ellison wrote: Advice from an Israeli Agent AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ !! Now, this, on the other hand, is a well-reasoned piece. It is not overly reactionary, deals with the threat frankly, makes it clear that our current, idiotic security policies and reliance on expensive techno-spy-gizmos do not work. More comments interspersed where appropriate. [Background snipped] Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke -- that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective. Definitely true. Why repeat something which worked before when you can attack where no one is looking? For example: 1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic. It is fairly easy to conceal weapons made of glass or polymers as well, but, be that as it may, our security at many airports will not even find metal weapons consistently. I know of military folks who got a crew-served machine gun past TSA among three people as a security test. Security audits of airports consistently fail even when the local security people are (illegally) tipped off about the audit in advance. Failures can be as high as 50% even when TSA knows the exact day and location of the test. 2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all travelling naked! Every strategy we have is reactionary. I am expecting exactly this response. I think, however, it would be the point where citizens finally refuse to comply or officials start losing jobs as quickly as Senate Democrats. 3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel , security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport. BINGO! Our airports are also not currently designed to move security to the perimeter without creating new, exploitable choke points. The other consequence of security-at-checkin is that private aircraft can be loaded with explosives and/or hijacked. Given the number of small, local and regional airports, however, we can only do so much at that level and the charter/private air system represents a valuable check against TSA policy. I know of a number of biotech companies who went to using private/charter flights post-9/11 because it was cheaper then paying expert employees who flew often (and had a high pay grade) to wait in line in security. Adding up to several hours of wasted time on both ends per employee can get expensive quickly. Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as, rural America this time. The interlands ( Wyoming , Montana , etc.). Very likely. This has always been the major vulnerability. The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas. Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away. Right, but how do we secure parking lots and parking ramps? We certainly cannot search every car and a Constitutional challenge would be proper if it was attempted. Unfortunately we have become accustomed to our personal automobiles in the US. Many cities are actively antagonistic to public transportation to local malls and attractions (not wanting to attract undesirables: anyone who doesn't own and drive their own car obviously fitting in that category).

Properly presented there is no question several infractures of law have been violated. CU's Board is currently working on drafting a new resolution for presentation to council, for passage VERY, VERY SOON: *Article VI LOCAL GOVERNMENT Section 19(a) **August 28, 2009* *Power of charter cities, how limited. * Section 19(a).

Such a city shall, in addition to its home rule powers, have all powers conferred by law.

Amendments of any city charter adopted under the foregoing provisions may be submitted to the electors by a commission as provided for a complete charter. Amendments may also be proposed by the legislative body of the city or by petition of not less than ten percent of the registered qualified electors of the city, filed with the body or official having charge of the city elections, setting forth the proposed amendment. The legislative body shall at once provide, by ordinance, that any amendment so proposed shall be submitted to the electors at the next election held in the city not less than sixty days after its passage, or at a special election held as provided for a charter. Any amendment approved by a majority of the qualified electors voting thereon, shall become a part of the charter at the time and under the conditions fixed in the amendment; and sections or articles may be submitted separately or in the alternative and determined as provided for a complete charter.

Fwd: City of Springfield News Release - Volunteers sought for planning groups
-- Forwarded message -- From: c...@springfieldmo.gov Date: Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 10:39 AM Subject: City of Springfield News Release - Volunteers sought for planning groups To: t.ma...@gmail.com Citizens who want to serve on one of the work groups for the City of Springfield’s long-range strategic planning process are invited to submit an application expressing their interest. Applications will be accepted through 5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 5, 2010. The application form is available at: www.springfieldmo.gov/planninggroups Citizens without computer access can call 864-1010 to request a mailed application or stop at the front desk of the Busch Municipal Building, 840 Boonville Ave. The application will ask citizens to list their top six areas of interest among the 11 planning groups and the coordinating committee. The topics of the planning groups are: Arts and Culture; Economic Development; Education/Workforce Development; Early Childhood Development; Global Perspectives and Diversity; Growth Management and Land Use; Housing; Natural Environment; Public Health; Public Safety; Transportation; and the overall Strategic Plan Coordinating Committee. The applications will be provided to the Chairs of the planning groups, who are in the process of being selected by City Manager Greg Burris and Greene County Administrator Tim Smith. Each group will be comprised of members who have expertise on the group’s topic. Burris also will ask each group to reserve several spaces for interested members of the general public who apply for the planning groups. The planning groups will set their own meeting schedules. But it is likely that each planning group will require a significant amount of time over a period of several months through this spring and summer. More applications may be submitted than the number of available spots on the planning groups. All planning group meetings, however, will be posted and open to the public. Citizens also will have multiple opportunities for input as the strategic planning process proceeds. An online version of the “Listening Tour” survey will be available through the end of February. To complete the four-question survey, visit: listen.questionpro.com. That input will be provided to the Planning Groups and the City Council. After the planning groups complete the initial phase of their work, additional public-input opportunities will take place this fall. Any citizens interested in signing up to receive e-mail updates about the strategic planning process can submit e-mail addresses as part of the survey or send a request to: c...@springfieldmo.gov or call 864-1010.

Fwd: City of Springfield News Release - City kicks off student visioning challenge
-- Forwarded message -- From: c...@springfieldmo.gov Date: Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 10:54 AM Subject: City of Springfield News Release - City kicks off student visioning challenge To: t.ma...@gmail.com The City of Springfield today kicks off its first-ever “Community Visioning Challenge” to capture input for the long-range strategic planning process from Springfield higher-education and high-school students. The City is making a special effort to involve younger members of the community in the long-range planning effort because they represent the area’s future workforce, voters and community leaders. The institutions that expressed interest in participating are: Baptist Bible College, Drury University, Evangel University, Missouri State University, Ozarks Technical Community College, and Springfield Public Schools. Each institution was asked to assemble a core team of up to 20 students to develop and implement a process to engage their student population in answering the following question: What city characteristics, features and amenities would make you want to live in Springfield for the next 20 years? Their challenge will be to generate a methodology that creatively engages as many students as possible and collects, assembles, and presents meaningful findings to City leaders. Results from the visioning contest will be provided to the planning groups that will work this spring and summer on the long-range strategic plan. Each team will be asked to submit a narrative summary of their results, along with a description of their methodology. Their reports will be due by March 31, 2010. Each team that completes the process will then be asked to make a 10-minute presentation to the City Council at a meeting to be scheduled in April. The presentations will run on CityView, the City’s government access channel, and be videostreamed on the CityView Web site. The City Council will pick one or more winning teams, which will be recognized at a public ceremony and will receive a token award in appreciation for their efforts. The City is in the process of gathering community input in several other ways. City Manager Greg Burris is continuing to hold Listening Tour meetings with community groups. An online survey to provide input will be posted through the end of February at: listen.questionpro.com In addition, any citizens interested in serving on one of the work groups for the strategic planning topics are encouraged to submit a volunteer application by 5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 5, 2010. The application is available online at: www.springfieldmo.gov/planninggroups . Copies of the application also are available for those without computer or Internet access by calling 864-1010 or picking up a copy at the Busch Municipal Building, 840 Boonville Ave., between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays. Each of the 11 planning groups and the Strategic Plan Coordinating Committee will reserve several spots for interested citizens who will join the other members of the work groups asked to serve because of their professional experience or expertise on each topic.

The application form is available online at: www.springfieldmo.gov/taxcommittee . Citizens without computer or Internet access can request a mailed application by calling 864-1010, or pick up an application at the Busch Municipal Building, 840 Boonville Ave., during normal business hours. The application deadline is: 5 p.m., Feb. 9, 2010. The Citizens’ Sales Tax Oversight Committee’s charge is to review and monitor the collection of the ¾-cent Pension Fund Sales Tax revenues and allocations to ensure that the revenues received by the City are properly deposited into the City’s self-funded Police-Fire Pension Fund. The Committee Chair will be asked to report to the City Council at least once every six months. The Committee’s role may be expanded in the future to include monitoring other sales-tax revenue sources. The Committee is expected to meet quarterly. Mayor Jim O’Neal proposed creation of this group after learning about a similar committee established in Joplin to provide oversight of tax-revenue collections. The City Council’s Public Involvement Committee will select the nine-member committee and forward its recommendations to the full Council for approval. The Committee will be comprised of at least five members who live within Springfield City limits. It will serve as an advisory committee to the City Council, so its role will be governed by Sections 15.2 and 15.5 of the City Charter.

Several members of the current board hold those qualifications and will transition to the new board. In addition, the Council will appoint: - One member with expertise in the area of financial or investment management; - One member with expertise in the area of actuarial analysis or auditing; - One member with expertise in the medical field as a nurse or physician, particularly with background in disability determinations or workers compensation; and - One citizen-at-large who would have the same qualifications required to hold public office, namely at least two years of residency within the City of Springfield. There also is an additional new seat available for a retiree from the pension system to serve as a non-voting, ex-officio member of the board. The seats designated for citizens with financial, actuarial/auditing and medical backgrounds are not required to be city residents. But if they are not residents, they would be required to have businesses or employers within the city limits.

[MoLiCo] Fwd: Press Release 02-02-2010
-- Forwarded message -- From: Senator Chuck Purgason i...@keepyourchange2010.org Date: Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 1:23 PM Subject: Press Release 02-02-2010 To: t.ma...@gmail.com From Senator Chuck Purgason For the past several months, I have had the opportunity to travel our great state and talk to the people who live and work and struggle to provide for their families. I have found out that the concerns I have with the growth of our federal government are real and are shared by the citizens of this state. Mounting federal debt and the growth of government in general are major concerns as more and more of the debt is passed on to our children and grandchildren. Currently, our debt is reaching unsustainable levels that put our nation’s financial future at risk. This year alone our debt ceiling been raised to $14,000,000,000,000.00. At the current rate of growth, by the year 2020 this debt will be almost doubled unless we begin electing people who will deal with these problems instead of passing them on to our children and grandchildren and other future generations to pay for. As we will elect a new Senator from this state in November, I think it is very important that we elect someone who will deal with these issues and not become part of the problem as so many of our elected leaders have become. In my race to be your United States Senator, I have published a Contract with Missouri. This contract can be seen at KeepYourChange2010.orghttp://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=44041146msgid=214365act=WHHYc=642880destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keepyourchange2010.org%2F . Our country is at the crossroads, do we continue down the road to bigger and bigger deficits with the same leadership that got us into this downward spiral or do we elect a new generation of leaders that will make the hard choices and work to renew our nations promise for future generations? The terms of the Contract with Missouri include voting only for a balanced budget. Voting for a budget, wishing it was balanced, and putting off tough decisions cannot continue. We must have leaders willing to stand up and work until the budget is balanced and committed to voting for a budget only if it is balanced. With the federal government borrowing $20,000,000,000.00 a week just to pay the bills, we must swear off the passing of earmarks. We cannot allow members of Congress to continue with the credit cards running up debt on this country. The failure of Congress to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac contributed to the fall of the housing market. We must have leaders willing to stand up and fight against the special interests that want to continue business as usual in our nation’s Capitol. Congressman Blunt has taken more PAC money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any member of Congress.* We must have leaders that swear off the taking of campaign funds from companies that have been bailed out or operate on taxpayer funds. Other campaign contract issues include pledging to serve only two terms, no campaign fundraisers outside the state of Missouri, and no members of my family will be employed as lobbyists. I truly believe that we must have leaders willing to stand up to the special interests in Washington and begin working for the long term viability of our nation. They must show leadership and tell the truth about the problems we are facing as a nation. This is my commitment to the people of the State of Missouri. * *Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers*http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=44041146msgid=214365act=WHHYc=642880destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opensecrets.org%2Fnews%2F2008%2F09%2Fupdate-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.htmlhttp://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=44041146msgid=214365act=WHHYc=642880destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opensecrets.org%2Fnews%2F2008%2F09%2Fupdate-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html ?

[MoLiCo] Fwd: City of Springfield News Release - Tax Oversight Committee Application Deadline Extended
-- Forwarded message -- From: c...@springfieldmo.gov Date: Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 5:21 PM Subject: City of Springfield News Release - Tax Oversight Committee Application Deadline Extended To: t.ma...@gmail.com The City of Springfield is extending the application deadline to encourage more citizens, particularly women, to apply for the new Citizens’ Sales Tax Oversight Committee recently approved by the City Council. The application form is available online at: www.springfieldmo.gov/taxcommittee *The new deadline is: 5 p.m., Monday, March 1, 2010.* Citizens without computer or Internet access can request a mailed application by calling 864-1010, or pick up an application at the Busch Municipal Building, 840 Boonville Ave., during normal business hours. The City Council’s Public Involvement Committee today recommended re-opening the application process to get a broader cross-section of applications from citizens. Zone 2 Councilwoman Cindy Rushefsky, who chaired today’s meeting, said only one woman applied in the initial group. She said she would like to have more representation from women on the nine-member oversight committee. She also said she would like a broader representation of citizens in general. The Committee received only 15 applications during the initial two-week period. The Citizens’ Sales Tax Oversight Committee’s charge is to review and monitor the collection of the ¾-cent Pension Fund Sales Tax revenues and allocations to ensure that the revenues received by the City are properly deposited into the City’s self-funded Police-Fire Pension Fund. The Committee Chair will be asked to report to the City Council at least once every six months. The Committee’s role may be expanded in the future to include monitoring other sales-tax revenue sources. The Committee is expected to meet quarterly. Mayor Jim O’Neal proposed creation of this group after learning about a similar committee established in Joplin to provide oversight of tax-revenue collections. The Committee will be comprised of at least five members who live within Springfield City limits. Citizens who live outside of Springfield will be eligible for the other four seats. This group will serve as an advisory committee to the City Council, so its role will be governed by Sections 15.2 and 15.5 of the City Charter. The Council’s Public Involvement Committee plans to meet again on March 4 to review all of the applications received initially and during this extension period. For more information, contact: City Clerk Brenda Cirtin, 864-1650; or Louise Whall, Director of Public Information, 864-1010. -- no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. ~Goethe www.moliberty.org http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com The power to tax involves the power to destroy. ~Justice John Marshall~ Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.)

[MoLiCo] Fwd: [MO-CPR] Important Update on the Eminent Domain Petition
-- Forwarded message -- From: Ron Calzone r...@mo-cpr.org Date: Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 10:11 PM Subject: [MO-CPR] Important Update on the Eminent Domain Petition To: Missouri Citizens for Property Rights mo-...@googlegroups.com *Eminent Domain Petition Update* We are 4 ½ years into the battle against eminent domain abuse in Missouri. Our foes are powerful and well funded – largely by our own tax dollars. They fear the loss of millions, even billions of dollars in redevelopment subsidies. As you know, last month the Western Court of Appeals ruled in our favor in the challenge to our ballot titles. They handed down their ruling in an unusually prompt fashion once we got the full case before the three judge panel. I believe that was their reaction to the evidence of the Missouri Municipal League's misuse of the court system. In spite of a resounding “win” in court (the three judges unanimously ruled exactly as we suggested in our brief), it came only after a year long delay. That delay was on top of several weeks of delay by the Secretary of State and AG. *That delay may prove fatal to our effort in this (2010) election cycle.* *Winning the Skirmish, But Losing the Battle – Then Winning the War.* The court battle was but one of many skirmishes (albeit a big one) in this fight for property rights. We have MML's law firm on tape admitting, that their “main objective” in bringing suit was to delay the gathering of signatures. Even in their court loss, they have won their objective. They had to break the law to do it, but they achieved it, nonetheless. That delay greatly hindered our fundraising. Right after the ruling things looked good. In just a few days we garnered over $200,000 in pledges – but then we hit a brick wall. Donors we hoped we could count on were understandably gun-shy. Even though we were going to have more time than our “near miss” 2008 effort, it wouldn't have been a comfortably larger amount of time. On the other hand, the volunteer base has grown tremendously. Success, though, will depend on a combination of volunteer and paid petition circulators. Without the cash to pay full time professional circulators, it is best to conserve our volunteer efforts for another day. *Motion For Sanctions* The intentional use of the court system for purposes of delay or adding expense to your opponent is against the law. When such abuse occurs, the law provides for court ordered sanctions – including monetary payments to the damaged party. MML's illegal use of the courts has cost our effort hundreds of thousands of dollars and we have filed a motion with the court asking for reimbursement. It's probably a long shot, but if the court will award enough, and do it soon enough, we may have a chance to hire the professional circulators and make it to the ballot this November. We have not totally given up on this election cycle. *A Punt May Be Necessary* Realistically, the odds of the court reacting fast enough and strong enough to our motion for sanctions are pretty slim. More than likely we will have to begin the entire process over this fall, after the November election. The good news is that we should not have the same problems with court delays. We will submit the same petitions and should get the same ballot titles, which have already been litigated. There will be no excuse for the courts to permit such long delays. Although we have not scuttled the effort for the 2010 ballot, the MO-CPR board – all unpaid volunteers, just like the many volunteer petition circulators -- are sensitive to understand your sacrifices for this effort. We want to ensure that your efforts produce the most fruit, so we suggest that volunteers hold off on gathering signatures and concentrate on other helpful endeavors for this and future campaigns. Do things like: - Recruit more volunteers - Scope out and document places to collect signatures later - Organize training meetings - Help pass legislation that will prevent the sort of court delays that hurt us so badly. Those things will help whether we go for the 2010 or the 2012 election cycle. *The 2012 Election Cycle is Near* 2012 sounds like a long way off, but it starts this November 3rd. If we punt, and the odds are we will have to, we will have a much longer, more comfortable time to collect the many signatures we need. While it is true that we will have to put up with two more years of the injustice of eminent domain abuse, our likelihood of success will be much, much greater. We must not forget, our fight is very much like that of the Founding Fathers against King George – and they had to fight 8 long years to win freedom! *We Will Win The War!* For me, personally, it is disappointing to think that we may have to drag this out two more years - I would like to go on to other projects. I stand undaunted, though, and will continue the fight until the war is won! I have talked to many of you in the last few days who have

Martin A nationally-recognized physician has written a stunning article in which she says that two-thirds of the government takeover of healthcare is already law under the provisions of the stimulus package approved by Congress last year. She further asserts that the bill that is now being debated, which Obama unleashed yesterday morning, is the dreaded 'third rail' that will effectively seize the remaining third of the industry that is not under government control. While most citizens, including conservatives such as this writer, were focused on the avalanche of proposals with which Obama and company bombarded Congress last year, apparently the fact that hidden within the massive trillion-dollar stimulus package, which most Congressmen and Senators never bothered to read, was a key healthcare provision that was overlooked. The stimulus bill laid down two-thirds of the government takeover of healthcare by creating a national database for the health information of all Americans, thus ditching the time-honored principle of privacy, and by approving a provision that will mandate healthcare rationing based upon the ultimate cost and value of treating certain citizens.

That 'third rail' is the takeover and control of the health insurance industry. Once this third component is approved, which Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid declared would be done regardless, the destruction of the U.S. Healthcare System will be complete and the foundation will be laid upon which to build an entirely new structure, complete with rationing for the elderly and severely ill and disabled, taxpayer funded abortions, a national database that contains ALL of your formerly private medical information, not to mention the key component of the President's plan that all citizens be required to purchase insurance or else face heavy penalties by the government.

[MoLiCo] Fwd: Filing for United States Senate

For the past nine months, I have traveled this great state and have found that the concerns I have for our country are shared with thousands and thousands of hard-working, everyday Missourians. Most people are simply looking for leadership and someone to tell them the truth. The debt that has been rung up by both the Republican and Democrat parties while in office is massive and real. With every person in American owing over $170,000.00 on the national debt and the unfunded debt of our nation reaching over $65,000,000,000,000.00 (trillion), the issue of this debt can no longer be ignored. The Blunt and Carnahan families, while in office have both contributed to the debt. This race is shaping up to be another political slugfest between two political powerhouses that will continue to pound each other while our deficit continues to grow and our nation’s economy continues to slide. While the ads from the Carnahan camp will bring up TARP votes, failed leadership, Delay/Abramoff scandals, Cash for Clunkers, and family members as lobbyists and as the Blunt campaign continues to hammer Pelosi, Reid, Carnahan and Obama, I hope to be talking about what real Americans are interested in —things like jobs and whether we will be able to find one or keep the one we have. Things like education and will we be able to send our kids to college and make our house payment. I want to talk about balancing our nation’s budget. Will the same old policies and leadership of the past continue to add more and more to the enormous debt that our children and grandchildren will have to pay? As a Republican, I hope to return our party and its elected officials to its the base — the things our party has always stood for: balanced budgets and a return to fiscal responsibility. I believe I offer a clear choice in this election. Do we continue to elect our Congress based on the amount of money raised, who has the slickest commercials, and who pounds the other into submission or do we elect some one not beholden to special interests and Washington’s money and influence. It is time we elect someone who talks about the real issues that are on the minds and hearts of everyone who loves and cares about the direction that this county is heading. I look forward to speaking to groups all across Missouri on these issues as this campaign moves forward.

A certified public accountant, April was named the City’s Internal Auditor in August 2008 and reported directly to the City Council. She had previously worked as a senior auditor in the Missouri State Auditor’s Springfield office. She held bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Missouri State University. Visitation and funeral services will be held at Barnes Family Funeral Home in Ozark, Missouri. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday, March 1, 2010, and funeral services have been scheduled for 10 a.m., Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Interment will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery in Mountain Grove, Missouri. “April wanted to thank all the employees of the City of Springfield that provided support and prayers,” Grant Lathrom said. “The availability of the City’s Care Leave Program allowed her to maintain her benefits eligibility during her fight and she was very grateful for their generosity. April believed the City’s support, which allowed her to participate in clinical trials in the last six months, provided her additional quality time with her family.” Donations can be made to the Caleb and Sydney Benefit Fund in care of Citizen’s Bank of Rogersville. The Lathrom family has requested privacy at this time and will not be accepting or returning calls for comment. The City asks that members of the media please honor this request and the City also will have no further statement. -- no cause is lost if there is but one fool to fight for it ~Will Turner~ ~Pirate's of the Caribbean @ World's End~ None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. ~Goethe www.moliberty.org http://417-political-pundit.blogspot.com The power to tax involves the power to destroy. ~Justice John Marshall~ Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you! -Pericles (430 B.C.)

Parker to Emerson; Don't run Republican candidate Bob Parker, a conservative rancher from Raymondville is sending a message to the Emerson team. ''Don't run.'' Parker, who's name will be at the top of the Republican ballot in August extends the Emerson camp some advise. ''It's over.'' Parker explains, '' as I have traveled the district from Cape Girardeau to Gainesville the anti-incumbent sentiment is at a fever pitch here in Missouri. Many county leaders shake their heads in disgust at the Wall Street Bailout votes Mrs. Emerson made. They feel that she has just been there too long and is just too out of touch with how things really are here in the 8th district.'' Parker went on to say anyone that has been in Washington and has been voting for bailouts, clunkers, pay raises and out of control spending has no idea what they will face in this coming election cycle. ''People have had enough! If 14 years of Washington experience is telling you to forget the little people in your district and go with the big money in Washington, it will be over for you this year. I hope that the Emerson people will step back and realize that it's time for fiscal conservatives to take over and try to straighten this mess out.'' Parker is still the only Republican that has filed for Missouri's 8th district Congressional seat. Tommy Sowers has filed on the Democrat ticket and supported passage of the Obama health care bill several weeks ago.

[MoLiCo] Fwd: White House Land Grab
Source: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/02/white-house-land-grab/ The Washington Times Originally published 06:15 p.m., March 2, 2010, updated 10:38 p.m., March 2, 2010 DEMINT: White House land grab Proposal to seize land would favor animals over Americans Sen. Jim DeMint You'd think the Obama administration is busy enough controlling the banks, insurance companies and automakers, but thanks to whistleblowers at the Department of the Interior, we now learn they're planning to increase their control over energy-rich land in the West. A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job- creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development. Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers. President Obama could enact the plans in this memo with just the stroke of a pen, without any input from the communities affected by it. At a time when our national unemployment rate is 9.7 percent, it is unbelievable anyone would be looking to stop job-creating energy enterprises, yet that's exactly what's happening. The document lists 14 properties that, according to the document, might be good candidates for Mr. Obama to nab through presidential proclamation. Apparently, Washington bureaucrats believe it's more important to preserve grass and rocks for birdwatchers and backpackers than to keep these local economies thriving. Administration officials claim the document is merely the product of a brainstorming session, but anyone who reads this memo can see that it is a wish list for the environmentalist left. It discusses, in detail, what kinds of animal populations would benefit from limiting human activity in those areas. The 21-page document, marked Internal Draft-NOT FOR RELEASE, names 14 different lands Mr. Obama could completely close for development by unilaterally designating them as monuments under the 1906 Antiquities Act. It says all kinds of animals would be better off by doing so, like the coyotes, badgers, grouse, chickens and lizards. But giving the chickens more room to roost is no reason for the government to override states' rights. Rep. Robert Bishop, Utah Republican, made the memo public because he didn't want another unilateral land grab by the White House, like what happened under former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Using the Antiquities Act, President Carter locked up more land than any other president had before him, taking more than 50 million acres in Alaska despite strong opposition from the state. President Clinton used the authority 22 times to prohibit hunting, recreational vehicles, mining, forestry and even grazing in 5.9 million acres scattered around the country. The law allowed him to single-handedly create 19 new national monuments and expand three others without consulting anyone. One of the monuments President Clinton created was the Grande Staircase-Escalante in Utah, where 135,000 acres of land were leased for oil and gas and about 65,000 barrels of oil were produced each year from five active wells. But, President Clinton put an end to developing those resources. President Obama could do the same in other energy-rich places unless Congress takes action. At least 13.5 million acres are already on his Department of Interior's real estate shopping list. This includes a 58,000-acre area in New Mexico. The memo said this should be done so the lesser prairie chicken and the sand dune lizard will be better protected. Are these animals going extinct? No. The bureaucrats wrote that the land should be locked up to avoid the necessity of listing either of these species as threatened or endangered. In Nevada, the Obama administration might make another monument in the Heart of the Great Basin because it, supposedly, is a center of climate change scientific research. In Colorado, the government is considering designating the Vermillion Basin as a monument because it is currently under the threat of oil and gas development. Americans should be wary of any plans a president has to seize land from the states without their consent. Any new plans to take away states' freedom to use land as they see fit must be stopped. That's why I sponsored an amendment to block Mr. Obama from declaring any of the 14 lands listed in the memo as monuments. Unfortunately, the Senate, led by Democrats, rejected it on Thursday evening by a vote of 58-38. It was particularly disappointing that the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, of Nevada, voted against the amendment. The government owns more than 80 percent of the land in Nevada and the unemployment rate there is 12.8 percent. Surely it would help job prospects if more land were open for business. This is a nationwide problem. The government currently owns 650 million acres, or 29 percent of the nation's total land.

A request for rehearing is not an appeal. Instead, the request will ask the court to reconsider specific portions of the decision. The Council authorized hiring outside legal counsel to handle the filing of the rehearing, as well as the related class action lawsuit filed this week. In addition, Council members requested that a fact sheet prepared by City staff be forwarded to the media, and that information is attached in the electronic version of this release.

The problem occurs because everyone wants to live one on top of the other. perhaps a single family dwelling should sit on an acre of property instead of a 50' wide by 100' deep lot On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 12:53 AM, Linda Herd linda.h...@sbcglobal.netwrote: Fred, Please pass on to all the groups.

What does sustainability mean? That the way we live today will not prevent our grandchildren from enjoying the same things we enjoy. The Golden Rule is at the heart of it. Sustainability was the big idea 40 years ago when much of the nation's attention was drawn to the events and news of the first Earth Day. I was a cub newspaper reporter covering the events. And I remember well that an important theme in 1970 was that sustainability required the U.S. to begin to stabilize its population after having added the *SECOND 100 million* in just 55 years. Well, now we've added the *THIRD 100 million* in less than the 40 years since that first Earth Day and we're on pace to add the *FOURTH 100 million* even faster! Because of this massive population explosion, progress on environmental quality in recent years has stalled. The Chesapeake Bay, for example, is just about as near death today as it was in 1970. And around 1 MILLION acres of natural habitat and farmland are cleared, scraped and deveoped each year just to accommodate this rapid population growth. Nearly all of the population growth is caused by the increases in immigration that Congress ordered or allowed since 1970. *For every restriction and cost that the government has put on us since then to improve environmental quality, it has negated part or all of the benefits by forcing high population growth through radically increased immigration numbers.* That is why the Father of Earth Day, Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.), made U.S. population stabilization such an important part of the teaching back in 1970 and why he spent much of the last 20 years warning of the environmental dangers of continuing our high-immigration policies. Even Pres. Clinton's Population and Consumption Task Force concluded in 1996 that the immigration increases since the first Earth Day had to be rolled back. The Task Force was a bit nervous about taking on the immigration issues (just like most environmentalists are): *As a matter of public debate, immigration is a sensitive and explosive issue, and both legal and illegal immigration must be addressed with great sensitivity and care in order to advance the debate. We acknowledge these impediments to easy and informal dialogue, and we urge that participants take appropriate care so that a reasoned discussion of immigration and the American future can begin.* But then Pres. Clinton's Task Force stated forcefully: *We believe that reducing current immigration levels is a necessary part of working toward sustainability in the United States.* Pres. Clinton had established the Task Force in 1993 to find ways to bring people together to meet the needs of the present without jeopardizing the future. *Have you noticed that I have been quoting only Democrats?* If you are represented by Democrats in Congress, this is an especially good time to call on them to be true to their Party's long-standing stated commitment to

at this point I must ask if you guys are talking about the same freaking bill I just read, Eric you make some valid points and jenny and cathy on a dog breeders perspective there are parts I agree with you on, but it appears that small farming interest are not in any means protected from government over regulation.

HJR 86 is about protecting our rights to raise livestock in a humane manner, without the State imposing undue economic hardship on people in order to phase it out of existence. This includes the ability to practice one's religious beliefs as they are raising livestock, because this was written specifically with regards religious groups in the first place. I don't think you guys are aware at all of the threat that the HSUS poses to ALL domesticated animals in this country. They want them gone from human use, and this is no big secret. They are achieving thier goal through legislative incrementalisation based on fear mongering. WHen you see a news report about abuse or lack of sanitation in slaughter houses or farms, you can bet that they or one of their employees was there to create the situation. We know this to be true, because they have been caught, charged, and sentenced for setting up the very scenarios they are pretending to expose. However, after having got the film footage out there, it is in the public mind, and when the HSUS comes in screaming for legislation to address the situation they supposedly exposed, they bulldose til they get it. They are attempting that right now. They went ahead with gathering signatures even though there was a huge lawsuit against them (this PMI blatantly violates the State Constitution) and they are already putting out news releases as if it is a done deal that it will be on the ballot. They still haven't won the lawsuit, the signatures still have to be verified at the county level, and the SOS still has to give final approval in order for it to go on the ballot. The HSUS is bulldozing forward, regardless of the legal process, and actually said that the lawsuit was frivolous. That is what they think of our Constitution- that violating it is a frivolous matter. So please decide quickly how you feel about outside special interest groups coming into our state to walk right over our Constitution and decide for us, by hook or by crook, how we are to live, raise our animals, what we are allowed to do to provide for our families, and how much of our state resources they can suck up in the process of doing

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has the final decision on whether to move the All-Star Game, but he isn't likely to listen to the players unless he hears from fans too. Our friends at MoveTheGame.org, a project of Presente.orghttp://presente.org/, have launched a petition to urge Commissioner Selig to move the game—can you sign today? Clicking here will add your name: http://pol.moveon.org/move_the_game/o.pl?id=20282-17583732-lxI58nxt=5 The petition says: Do what's best for baseball: Move the 2011 All-Star Game unless Arizona changes its harmful and hateful immigration law. The Arizona law has outraged many ball players and fans alike. Among those who've spoken out against the law are All-Star Adrian Gonzalez of the San Diego Padres and World Series-winning manager Ozzie Guillen of the Chicago White Sox, and the MLB Players Association condemned the law recently.3 Given that Arizona stands to make upwards of $60 million from the All-Star Game, calling for a change of venue is a powerful demand both politically and economically.4 And there's precedent here: in 1993, the NFL pulled Super Bowl XXVII out of Tempe, Arizona because the state didn't recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We can do it again, and send a clear message to Arizona lawmakers that players and fans won't stand for this new law.5 Our friends at www.MoveTheGame.org http://www.movethegame.org/, a project of Presente.org and Fenton, will deliver the petition signatures to MLB headquarters, join with players, managers, and veterans to speak out, and make sure both Selig and the press hear the call that the game must be moved. Presente.org will also keep you updated by email about progress and further developments. Can you sign MoveTheGame.org's petition today?
