Fellow Americans,
Allow me to express my opinion as to what I witnessed this past three weeks. First off, I was able to take a journey from Southern California to Milwaukee to celebrate Harley Davidsons 110th Anniversary (a true american legend of a company) and what I witnessed along the way both appalled and amazed me. The vast nature of our country lends itself to diversity beyond belief however I have found there is a common thread that runs through city to city , state to state......we all want to just live and be happy and prosperous!!!! Our resources are abundant yet Our leaders are Narrow minded, the heart of our nation is green and alive with abundance yet the District of Columbia is dark and stagnant with no pulse on the nation.., If "We the People" Stand together and demand OUR nation be properly taken care of ...... Simply by ceasing the GIVING AWAY of our homegrown resources(ie. corn , soybeans and wheat destined for international aid) we could feed and EMPLOY the bulk of the lazy humans we have right here at home... Don't get me wrong, I am not supporting any kind of a welfare state ideal but if we are going to give away what we grow at least give it away here at home!!!
Enough out of me I have to get back to work so I can feed myself and take care of my own family without having to live off the governments teet.

Gentlemen and Ladies,
The following email was sent to me by CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY. To sign the petition go to: http://www.chooseliberty.org/welcome_drones.aspx?roi=echo3-16885747174-14685794-b1e19bcaa9cfe86604203e6e49cdd7c9&pid=ws4
As Ben Franklin stated, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Sadly, the statists in Washington, D.C. keep choosing to take away more and more of our liberties for some bureaucrat's vision of so-called "safety."
In today's world, "security" really means handing over the last bits of freedom to Big Government's prying eyes.
Not long ago, the Senate Armed Services Committee called for drones returning from Afghanistan to be used "freely and routinely" in U.S. airspace.
Government agencies are training drones by tracking civilian cars over American cities.
Law enforcement agencies are buying them up by the dozen – happy to let the spying begin.
The Congressional Research Service states domestic drones could be equipped "with facial recognition or soft biometric recognition, which can recognize and track individuals based on attributes such as height, age, gender, and skin color."
If you and I don’t stand up to this nonsense, more than 30,000 are expected to be flying across the United States in the near future.
So please sign our Citizens Stand for Individual Liberty petition to let Congress know you oppose their theft of your rights.
This isn't something out of George Orwell's 1984. It's America in 2013.
And it's all designed so politicians can line the pockets of their crony capitalist pals – while you and I pay the price with our tax dollars and our freedom.
I'm not telling you all this to dishearten you – although I understand it may be discouraging to look the facts straight in the face.
I'm telling you this because these are the battles you and I can't ignore if we are going to maintain our last vestiges of freedom as Americans – and regain what we've lost.
After all, in recent years, we've witnessed the passage of the so-called "Patriot" Act, which allows the government to wiretap and spy on American citizens.
We've seen the passage of the NDAA - allowing the government to lock up and detain American citizens indefinitely without so much as a warrant.
And we see the TSA routinely groping elderly women and children at airports.
Ten years after its creation, a congressional report was issued saying the TSA was "bloated and ineffective."
More than 25,000 security breaches have occurred under its watch.
And just when you thought flying couldn’t possibly get worse, TSA employees are now unionized under the American Federation of Government Employees union, and affiliate of the AFL-CIO.
In other words, that creepy TSA agent that almost seemed to enjoy feeling up you and your child will now be virtually impossible to fire for inappropriate behavior.
From now on, security and passenger rights will play a secondary role to the union bosses' demands for "screener's rights."
Our liberties are being stolen from us daily – and for NOTHING.
That’s why it’s important you sign our Citizens Stand for Individual Liberty petition.
So what's next? What else will the security statists demand of us in order to finally make us "safe and secure" in their eyes?
"Black boxes" in every car?
Cameras on every street corner? In every house?
So government bureaucrats can ensure we don't smoke the wrong thing?
To ensure our sodas aren't too big or our cheeseburgers too greasy?
How much liberty will politicians steal before the American people wake up and say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!"?
I believe you and I are at a tipping point.
More and more Americans ARE getting fed up.
And Campaign for Liberty is fighting back.
But more attacks on our Fourth Amendment rights are coming at the American people full-speed ahead.
So it's up to you and me to turn up the pressure higher than ever before.
So please sign our Citizens Stand for Individual Liberty petition.
And after you sign, please chip in a generous contribution to help Campaign for Liberty defend the American people against government intrusion.
You and I must be prepared to take on the statists and defend our freedoms.
That's exactly what Campaign for Liberty has been doing - and will continue to do - in the coming weeks and months.
Our goal is to reawaken men and women from coast to coast and rally them to defend liberty before it's too late.
Because it's not too late.
Not yet.
The free soul of America still exists.
But it's up to you and me to create a grassroots fire that no politician in his or her right mind would dare ignore.
In Liberty,

John Tate
President
P.S. The Big Government statists are wasting no time further eroding our Fourth Amendment rights.

Ode to the Clandestine Soldier
From bunkers buried under the Earth
To the back alleyways of Perth
We fought our war in the shadows
Where dark and dangerous plots are hatched and grow
Never knowing who was friend or foe
Did we in harm’s way willingly go
At the peril of our very souls we supped from Satan’s bowl
Whose tools in trade were lies, deceit and betrayal
Then did we face the minions of the Beast
Rising from the dusty streets of the Middle East
Armed with silenced weapons, knives and poison on Satan’s tasks did they go
For all mankind we fought them till hell’s dry sands did with crimson flow
Often times in blackness of that everlasting night
Did we long for a glimpse of the light
In the end when our war was done
We found final refuge in the house of God’s only son

I have been able to verify something extremely troubling in the past 12 hours. A close and verifiable source contacted me to lament the deployment of a friend from Ft. Hood to Egypt, where this particular soldier will be for the next nine months. We have no military base in Egypt, so we’re all trying to understand the assignment and wonder if he and the other 400 soldiers are living in a tent in the desert, and if they are, how do they receive supplies, from everything to food, water, ammunition, and fuel to conduct whatever mission they are to fulfill, for I cannot imagine a C-140 being allowed to land at Cairo International.
The following information has been sourced thoroughly. This particular soldier said that while he was not really thrilled about the assignment to Egypt, it was better than the soldiers that remained at the military base BECAUSE THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED THEIR DEPLOYMENT ORDERS TO GO TO SYRIA. That certainly contradicts the posturing and false reassurances and table-pounding of Obama and Kerry, does it not?
Of course, credibility should never enter the discussion when talking about this president. If frogs get nourishment from eating flies, this pathologically dysfunctional misfit gets his lifeblood from telling lies. It is the manner in which he is genetically coded and been brainwashed to operate.

Ballad of Homeland Security
When the lofty shinning towers fell
Death’s cold hand did silence Wall Street’s bell
Covered in ashes they rushed to fight that hell lit flame
Firemen, police, medics, lawyers, doctors all heard freedom’s call and came
In that choking blackness of that hallowed day
Came a new beginning some would say
Out with the old and in the with the new
Bureaucracies in the midst of turmoil did fail and stew
Many voices clamored in that awful din
While arguments over rights and security soon set in
In the people’s house leaders did rise and fall
But in the end justice and reason did answer freedom’s call
From the sun-baked border and small offices on the Potomac’s shore
Would go the call for America’s best to repair the fabric the terrorists tore
Hard fought fights to shape and organization soon set in
Most did not comprehend the nature of the battle they were about to begin
Personal sacrifice and lonely duty far from home would victory entail
But in the end freedom’s children over hell’s minions did prevail
Never again would ashes rain from the sky
Causing the blameless innocent to weep and cry
So for this did we pledge our lives, so freedom will never die
Ed Driscoll's blog on PJ Media gave us an outline I've saved for future rereads (translation: laughs). Last night, from a Queens pizzeria, Anthony Weiner conceded defeat in the race for New York City mayor. It's sad that he was even allowed to run again in the first place. He obviously cared more about his sordid personal life than he ever cared about his position in public service.
Let this be a (humorous) lesson to us. Anthony Weiner: a track record so bad, even New York voters couldn't ignore it.
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the First Amendment, especially the "Religious" clause. Some seek to silence religion and use the fictitious claim of "Separation of Church and State clause". There is no such thing. America has had this shoved down our throats for so long the majority actually believes this now. The First Amendment clearly states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.. as in no State sanctioned church, or one over the other; and shall not prohibit the free exercise thereof. The free exercise of any religion, on any corner, at any time, at any place. Government cannot tell you where or how to express your religion or religious views. The Constitution provides protection for those who do not practice religion or religious beliefs as much as it provides protection for those who do practice their religious beliefs. The Constitution does not infringe on either side but protects the rights of both. It does not give either one the right to silence the other. Therefore the freedom of speech was protected as well in that same Amendment. There is no such animal as "Separation of Church and State", that was taken totally out of context from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote in response to the concerns of the Danbury Baptist Convention. They were concerned that the religious clause was even in the Constitution giving the Government the power to give that right, the Government could also take it away. Jefferson just simply said this was a restriction to keep Government from infringing that right. Thereby erecting a wall between Church and State.
P.S. Nothing in this world is worth anything unless you are willing to fight for it. We need to fight our home battles 1st because America is worth fighting to keep alive.
September 11, 2001, I was annoyed at my wife, Mary. I was about to take a shower, yelling from the bathroom, “Honey, there is no water!” She had forgotten to pay the bill. In the small Florida town where we live, I would have to get dressed and drive two miles to the water company. Then, wait for the leisurely paced workers to get around to turning my water back on. How annoying. What a pain. That was the biggest issue of my day that morning.
As the nightmare of 9/11 unfolded, several of my fellow Americans who simply showed up for work were faced with a horrific decision; whether to be consumed in the inferno or jump to their deaths from the towers. Many became “the jumpers”. Who was responsible for putting my fellow Americans in such an unimaginable horrific position? Al Qaeda.
That same day, American Todd Beamer on board flight UA93 thought to call his wife Lisa, but did not want to worry her. He called GTE supervisor Lisa Jefferson to say that their plane had been hijacked. Beamer lead passengers in voting to storm the cockpit and take over the plane. Beamer instructed Jefferson, "If I don't make it, please call my family and let them know how much I love them." Jefferson heard Beamer's voice, "Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll!" Flight UA93 crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Who were the hijackers? Al Qaeda.
September 11, 2012, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and embassy security personnel, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed during an attack on our consulate in Benghazi while expecting help that never arrived. Who were the attackers. Al Qaeda.
Ironically, as we approach another anniversary of the 9/11 attack, Obama and Secretary Kerry are arguing that the U.S is morally obligated to bomb the Assad regime for allegedly gassing Al Qaeda which is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans.
To put this crazy scenario into perspective, imagine the KKK and the Aryan Nation fighting each other. The KKK gases the Aryan Nation. The NAACP joins the Aryan Nation in attacking the KKK for using an immoral weapon.
Obama and Kerry claim their desire to bomb Syria is about Assad gassing a few hundred children and national security. America must not be perceived as a paper tiger.
Well, why were both these guys vehemently opposed to President Bush attacking Saddam Hussein who on a single day gassed 5,000 of his own people? Over a few decades, Saddam used various gasses to kill 50,000 of his own people. Saddam used poison gas against his own people 50 times more than Assad.
As for Kerry and Obama claiming that we can not risk America being perceived as a paper tiger, I say, “too late”. The 2001 September 11th attack was the result of past wimpy responses to terrorism by a Democrat president. Obama has merely continued the Democrat's weak blame-America-first tradition. Before unpacking his bags upon his arrival in the White House, Obama went on his world apologize-for-America-tour.
What has been our paper tiger president's forceful response to terrorism? Pretend it does not exist.
President Obama's relentless efforts to protect his false narrative that Al Qaeda is on the run continues to have devastating consequences for Americans. The Fort Hood shooting was a Jihadist mass murder; unquestionably proven to be a terrorist attack. Coldly, the Obama Administration stands firm in classifying it as “work place violence” which denies the victims combat benefits. Also, while in prison, Nidal Hasan, the shooter received $270,000 from the U.S. Government while his victims had to pay their own medical bills.
Despite knowing almost immediately that it was Al Qaeda who attacked our consulate in Benghazi, killed Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans, for weeks, the Obama Administration promoted the lie that the attackers were a spontaneous mob angry over a youtube view.
Finally, after 11 months the Obama Administration has charged the first suspects in connection with the Benghazi terror attack.
Learning how to build a bomb in an Al Qaeda magazine, Dzhohar Tsarnaev expressed his extremist Islamist beliefs by killing 8 year old Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lu Lingzi; injuring over 260, at least 16 suffered severed limbs. And yet, the Obama Administration rushed to Mirandize Dzhokhar, the surviving Boston bomber.
Secretary Kerry's holier-than-thou concern for Syrians and hostile comment to Rep. Duncan was a bit much to stomach given the Obama Administration’s pattern of putting justice and compassion for suffering Americans last. “We’re talking about people being killed by gas and you want to go talk about Benghazi and Fast and Furious.”
Remarkably, Kerry has even opened the door to possible deployment of U.S. troops to Syria. Can you imagine our air force and troops providing military might for Al Qaeda?
How do you explain that to the families of the 9/11 jumpers, other victims of 9/11, the Ft Hood shooting victims, the Boston Marathon bomb victims and the four Americans killed in Benghazi, all devastated by extremist Islamist terrorists, Al Qaeda?

Government of the people, by the people and for the people is perishing from the earth. We have proven to be incapable of restraining the monster we created. We have ignored the Constitution which was the only thing that could have accomplished that restraint and now we are stuck with a Federal Government whose enemies list includes you and me.
Now we see why the President was to be a natural born citizen and what happens when you allow the protections put in place by the founders to be eroded - carried away a bit at a time by jackals and thieves - until today we find ourselves fighting for the soul of our country.
The symptoms of the problem are legion, turning up as brush fires like those in today's headlines that distract our attention but the cause and the cure are one in the same. None of us will be secure in our lives, freedom or property until we return to the only form of government that has ever produced the prosperity we have enjoyed in this country.
We all know instinctively that there is no free lunch yet many gladly accept handouts from our elected officials without ever asking the cost. The cost is your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. If you think these statements harsh, may I remind you that on 9-11 this year, during the anniversary of an attack perpetrated by Muslim Jihadists that killed almost 3,000 people in New York, the government issued a permit for a Million Muslim March in Washington D.C. while at the same time refusing a permit for a patriotic Million Bikers event. The Bikers plan to go anyway. We shall see how these two very different groups are treated by our government. My heart goes with the bikers.
Our attention must remain concentrated on the re-establishment of constitutional government. Elected officials who will not honor their oath of office must be exposed and replaced one by one. There is no other answer!
MYOB
It is the wee hours in this small hick town nestled in the heart of Appalachia. The streets are empty, save for the occasional police car making its rounds and a semi trundling by every hour or so. As I sit hear in the quiet of my lonely apartment I found myself thinking of the mess this country is in with all of the incursions on our freedoms of late. I was trying to think of some way the common people could assert their independence in a sane legal manner when I thought of a story written way back in 1951 by a Science Fiction writer named Eric Frank Russell entitled … And Then There Were None. I think I might have given it the title The Gands though nobody asked my opinion then or since.
This Hall of Fame story concerns the difficulty the people of Earth have in contacting the ‘leaders’ of a planet the had been settled by humans three hundred years before, but out of contact with that species known far and wide as Earthers since that time.
You see the home planet had come to bring these poor benighted souls all of the advantages of modern Earth society. They were from the government and just wanted to help. Those bureaucrats had only one problem with their efforts in contacting those so called leaders. Whomever they approached to ask to be taken to those leaders received the cryptic response “MYOB” and the locals just went on with whatever they were doing. It didn’t matter who they sent as their envoys – Peacockishly attired military or somewhat less splendiferous ships crew or even nattily attired minor diplomats- each and every one was met with MYOB.
Finally an exasperated Ambassador sent one of the ships crew, a fellow with a bicycle of all things, as his emissary. This fellow was a bit more curious and friendly sort who wanted to get to know these strange off spring of mother Earth, so he began by just attempting to engage them in conversation. After a lot of confusion caused by some evolutionary language difficulties, he did have some interesting talks. He learned that these people weren’t the least bit intimidated by the huge ship that had plowed a mile long trench upon landing outside their town. You see they had developed what they called the perfect weapon to ward off intrusive outsiders. It had developed out of their love of freedom, but it was an extremely effective weapon none-the-less.
When the ship’s engineering crewman asked about it he was given a little plaque upon which was inscribed F - I.W. and told that it contained the entire secret of this magnificent weapon. He was even informed that the weapon had been discovered on Earth many centuries before the great diaspora. By a humble man named Gandhi. He also learned that the MYOB they kept hearing was an acronym for Mind Your Own Business. The placard’s meaning? Freedom – I Won’t. You see Gandhi was a man from the then country of India who believed in peaceful civil disobedience. His disobedience took the form of him simply saying “I Won’t” to those intrusive bureaucrats that thought they had the right to infringe on his liberties.
The government says register your guns? I Won’t. The government says you must use their insurance? I won’t. The government says you must permit them to spy on you “for you own good”? I won’t.
The name they gave their planet? Gand and the people were the Gands.
I pledge defiance to the current government of the United States of America and to the corruption for which it stands one American with anger enough for all!
