ON EARTH DAY, DROP THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS ON THE BORDER, SO WE CAN DO OUR JOB ! THIS IS WAR, DOWN HERE.
2nd ANNUAL TAX DAY TEA PARTY RALLY, SANTA CRUZ, CA
and across the country, ramping up for 2012 http://bit.ly/h2Fm7c
As the 2012 elections draw closer, and over 2 years of the intrusive Obama administration in our lives, the 2nd annual Tax Day Tea Parties were celebrated across the country. The main stream media continues to minimize the Tea Party movement, but it has become more and more prevelant on the lips of politicians, including the fearless leader.
Good to see you, at least in effigy. Thought I'd get back with you to see how you're coming along with my book, Keeper of The Knew; The Fullness of The Gentiles, and the center excerpt The Declaration and its accompanying Bills?
I'm still hopeful to acquire a sponsor for Publishing.
See you soon my Co-Patrioteer.
Always in Christ,
Max Simon Uhrig
Here's wishing you and yours a prosperous new year. Once again, thank you.

Every department has to be analyzed. Every bit of pork that has been put into place, must be recalled and money put back in the bank.
For instance.
- Our Social Security is deeply in trouble. Yet our government gave everyone a two percent tax CUT this year? That's insane!!!! What kind of irresponsible "leaders" do we have in Washington?
- The USPS, per Wikipedia, "The number of gallons of fuel used in 2009 was 444 million, at a cost of US$1.1 billion.". What if we only received our mail every other day? Could we cut this number, probably not in half, but perhaps by a third? "The United States Postal Service employs some 596,000 workers, making it the second-largest" - could we cut 1/3 of this number with every other day delivery? How many billions of dollars a year would this save? A bankrupt government can't afford mail delivery 6 days a week, IMHO.... If we cut 1/3 (over next 10 years or so) we'd reduce post office workers by 180,000, or roughly $3.5BLN (figure 50k a year, plus bennies) per year, plus perhaps $363mm per year on gas?)
Where else do we have unecessary services that could be considered waste?
There is absolutely zero need for America or American Troops to be dealing with Ghadifi and his joke of a nation. When are you Europeans ever going to fight your own battles?

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a
desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created
a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"
So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to
write the instructions and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks
correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two
people, one to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they
created two positions, a time keeper and a payroll officer, then hired two
people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an
Administrative Officer, an Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal
Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year, and
we are $918,000 over budget. We must cut back." So they laid off the night
watchman.
NOW slowly, let that sink in.
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY..... during the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line: We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an
agency...the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!
Ready?? It was very simple . . . and, at the time, everybody thought it very
appropriate.
The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977 TO LESSEN OUR
DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
AND, NOW, IT'S 2011 -- 34 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY"
DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND
APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES, AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?"
A little over 34 years ago, 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.
Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.
Ah, yes -- the good old Federal bureaucracy!!
NOW, WE HAVE TURNED THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY
OVER TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT?
Hello!! Anybody Home?
The 800# gorilla now has been given headgear. The suspected news that General Electric, Corp. was the recipient of a similar bribe this time to the tune of $36 million is, coming straight on the heels of a recent story that GE paid NO TAXES on $14 Billion in profits was a potential bombshell that has NOW BEEN CONFIRMED. Still the media mentioned above have refused to cover the story. The feather in the cap of the 800# gorilla is the most shocking of all. General Electric, you see, up to recently owned NBC and MSNBC the two most ardent of all those cheerleading for the 2008 Obama-Biden campaign. GE CEO Jeffrey Immeldt, you’ll recall was recently appointed to head up Mr. Obama’s job-creation czar; and last summer had been involved in controversy for seeking to quash anti-Obama reporting by GE’s affiliate news stations. It’s safe to say that Barack Obama is in bed with the unions, the media and our giant corporations . . . .
According to Daily Caller which broke the story, “In addition to CBS Corporation and the Washington Post Company, recipients of ERRP funding include the United Auto Workers union, which secured $206,798,086 in taxpayer money, AT&T, which took in $140,022,949, and General Electric (GE), which raked in $36,607,818. GE has made headlines recently for not paying any U.S. taxes last year. IBM got $12,989,690 in taxpayer money. With all that money in all these corrupt hands, it’s safe to say that Barack Obama could count on hundreds of millions in campaign donations from the unions and big business; and mountains of favorable press reports from CBS, NBC, MSNBC, the Washington Post, etc.
“Verizon pulled $91,702,538 in taxpayer cash, too, and General Motors received $19,002,669. More than $6 million went to different Teamsters groups nationwide, and millions more went to the United Mine Workers, United Food and Commercial Workers, the AFL-CIO and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).”
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Let's stop diluting the message and stick to two issues: 1) balance the budget and 2) transparency in government.
Period.
THE BARBARIANS GAZA SALAFI KILL & SLAUGHTER ITALIAN ACTIVIST... THAT THE REAL FACE OF ISLAM,,,
Unfortunately, the club of delusionary Americans has lately been joined by
Bill O’Reilly and Governor Mike Huckabee who publicly deny significance to the fact that Mr. Soetoro (aka Obama) has unlike any prior president failed to demonstrate his eligibility to run for President, and that such lack of compliance with the Constitutional requirement of birthright might allow an anti-American alien to undermine our government, which is exactly what we are witnessing! The facts speak for themselves: why has Mr. Obama spent a fortune ($2,000,000) to hide much about his past including his long form birth certificate along with health and education records which deserve public scrutiny for any candidate running for the nation’s highest office? Why has the leftwing media given Barry Soetoro a free pass? Is it to assuage their never ending guilt over racism which occurred half a century ago, even if it means putting an unqualified person in the White House? Their PC has paradoxically placed a noose around America’s neck.
Integrity, wisdom, and statesmanship are necessary presidential characteristics completely lacking in Mr. Soetoro whose narcissistic personality dominates his actions. That was demonstrated this week when he kicked off his 2012 re-election campaign at a time when the nation needs a capable leader and not a professional campaigner. He does not care that he and Fedzillacrats have spent America into a hole to the tune of 14.25 trillion dollars and growing. Worse, he proposes to spend more to grow Fedzilla! How can any patriot with basic mathematical skills not understand that reliance upon foreign nations for our energy and our finances are parallel roads to national disaster? Either can be taken away from us in an instant, leading to immediate collapse of our currency and our survival as a free nation. Is that Mr. Obama’s goal?
Enter Mr. Trump---newcomer to the presidential campaign trail. While portrayed as a joke by the Left and underestimated by Bill O’Reilly of FOX, he has very smartly elevated the issue of Mr. Soetoro’s eligibility to the forefront—an issue sidestepped by the DNC, the judicial branch and Congress. The Left’s cheerleaders and liberal media darlings (including Mr. O’Reilly) take their cues from their network owners and condescendingly refer to those patriots who make connections between Obama’s anti-American behavior and concealment of his true ‘identity’ as ‘right wing extremists’ or ‘birthers’. Since when did ‘fair and balanced’ include denying the undeniable? Not so for Donald Trump whose willingness to confront real issues head on in a refreshingly practical way has earned him a top spot in the list of presidential contenders. Patriots are patiently waiting to see who emerges to dump the current bag of manure from the White House.
As I have stated before, I am deeply engrossed in the reading of a two-volume set on the Constitutional debates. Most of these were carried out in various newspapers of the time. As I read, I begin to understand the position of those opposed to the new constitution. They had a very good take on human nature and our ability to corrupt that which is intended to be good and beneficial. Look at this piece…
Reply to Wilson’s Speech by Arthur Lee (Cincinnatus) November 28, 1787
“Sir, In my former observations on your speech, to your fellow-citizens, explanatory and defensive of the new constitution; it has appeared, by arguments to my judgment unanswerable, that by ratifying the constitution, as the convention proposed it, the people will leave the liberty of the press, and the trial by jury, in civil cases, to the mercy of their rulers – that the project is to burthen them with enormous taxes, in order to raise and maintain armies, for the purposes of ambition and arbitrary power – that this power is to be vested in an aristocratic senate, who will be either themselves the tyrants, or the support of tyranny, in a president, who will know how to manage them, so as to make that body at once the instrument and shield of his absolute authority – Even the Roman Emperors found it necessary to have a senate for this purpose.”
I confess I am somewhat in question as to Mr. Lee’s point. On the one hand, the senate was to be a tool of the individual states. The state legislatures would elect the senators. This would seem to me to have taken any influence the president might have over the selection of these individuals as sketchy at best. However, Mr. Lee’s worries have indeed manifested themselves much as he predicted. Today, we have a Democrat controlled senate prepared to do any and everything necessary to protect the tyrant who sits as president. They fall all over themselves to effect his socialist elitist policies. All to the detriment of the people, even those he ostensibly wants to help. Addicting one to the public teat is hardly to be considered as help. Mr. Lee continues…
“We have seen with what cunning the power of impeachment is apparently given to the representatives of the people, but really to the senate, since, they advise these measures of government, which experience has shewn, are the general matters of impunity the executive officers will be sure of impeachment when they act in conformity to their will. Impeachment will therefore have no terrors, but for those who displease or oppose the senate.”
In other words, no matter how arrogant, elitist, self-serving or even criminal the president might be, as long as he or she has the will and backing of the senate they shall not fear the wrath of the people in the form of impeachment. Impeachment (indictment) by the people’s representatives rings hollow with no chance of conviction for crimes committed against the people.
In light of today’s situation, perhaps Mr. Lee and others of the same school of thought may have been on to something. While he and his friends might have been considered as anti-federalists in the time, it would appear to me that they were merely being prudent and wise. It would also appear that the federal government has indeed turned into an essentially hostile and uncontrolled juggernaut bent on the destruction of liberty and prosperity. And we gave it all away through apathy and inattention. Shame on us. Do we deserve the efforts of those who would try to turn it all around? Probably not. But because they are who they are, they will try none the less. God bless them for their efforts.
And, once I've cooled off thinking about something else totally
different, I can sit back and laugh at these buffoons who allegedly
sware they run this country right into the early grave we americans (yes with a small "a") elected them or agreed with them, or blindly
went along with their ideas of Home Owners Association Politics.
Ha!
Things that make you go, Hmmm?!
