			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #800000">State of Wisconsin Taxpayers UNITE!</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #ff0000">Taxpayers of Wisconsin join ol&#8217;Capt. Karl with this Civil Remedial REJECTION of &#8220;sneaky&#8221; taxation by The tyrants of The State of Wisconsin.</span>  Either they face us with their taxes directly and clearly or we don&#8217;t pay them!  Don&#8217;t put them in ultility bills that we HAVE TO pay to live.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000000">Here is Capt. Karl&#8217;s letter to Wisconsin Public Service:</span></h3>
<p>Dear Wisconsin Public Service:</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline">Explanation of Wisconsin Taxpayers Civil Rejection 28 Act.</span></h3>
<p>Enclosed along with a recent bill we received from your electric service company, was a notice stating;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px">Beginning September 28, 2009, Wisconsin Public Service customers in the state of Wisconsin will begin seeing a “Wisconsin 2009 Act 28” fee on their monthly electric bill.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"> This charge is a result of a provision included in the Wisconsin Legislative budget bill, which requires that all Wisconsin electric utilities collect a fee from customers to help fund District Attorney salaries and benefits across the state. The charge will appear on customers’ bills through June 30, 2011, unless additional action is taken by the legislature.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"> For WPS, this means that our residential customers will pay about $3.24 annually, while the charge for commercial customers will be close to $10 annually. The fee is to be charged per electric meter or service, so customers with multiple accounts could see higher charges.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px"> If you have any questions, or would like more information about Act 28, please contact the Department of Administration at 866-432-8947 or visit their Web site at <a href="http://www.homeenergyplus.wi.gov/">www.homeenergyplus.wi.gov</a>.</p>
<p>           **************************************************************** </p>
<p>Electricity has become an essential part of living in America.  I find it heinously appalling that the State of Wisconsin would attach ‘General State of Wisconsin Operational Taxes’ to a utility bill of such life supporting necessity.  What irks me the most about this is the obvious Wisconsin tax incrementalism that is certainly to follow over the course of the next few months and years on our utility bills, for utilities necessary and essential for life itself,  now that the tyrannical spendthrift legislators have their despotic &#8220;camel’s nose&#8221; under the tent.  Doesn&#8217;t electricity cost enough already?</p>
<p>By what right does the oppressive State of Wisconsin Legislators have to force Wisconsin businesses, like Wisconsin Public Service, to do their dirty work for them?</p>
<p>Please be advised, therefore, that I, as a customer of Wisconsin Public Service and a Wisconsin Taxpayer, hereby rejects payment of the Wisconsin Act 28 Fee, which has nothing to do with your electrical service, and that this fee will be subtracted from all future bills with the balance for the electrical service to be paid in full as per the due date provided.</p>
<p>Please be further advised that a copy of this e-mail will be going out to over FIFTY Freedom and Liberty organizations across the State of Wisconsin one being the humongous Americans For Prosperity.  Additionally I will be submitting this letter to many Wisconsin bloggers for posting on the Internet for Wisconsin Taxpayers and Wisconsin Public Service customers to view.</p>
<p>This constant insult to our intelligence and our family finances, due to legislators not cutting the State budget like our families have to do continuously, is coming to an end.  I feel that it is awful for the Wisconsin Government to put your company in the middle between us and them in the attempt to mask their tax increases on us.</p>

<p>A group of Kansas state legislators are proposing an amendment to the <a title="Kansas Constitution" href="http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Kansas_Constitution">Kansas Constitution</a> to preserve the freedom of Kansans to provide for their health care.</p>
<p><a href="http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Mary_Pilcher-Cook">Sen. Mary Pilcher Cook</a> (R-Shawnee) and Reps. <a title="Brenda Landweher" href="http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Brenda_Landwehr">Brenda Landwehr</a> (R-Wichita) and <a title="Peggy Mast" href="http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Peggy_Mast">Peggy Mast</a> (R-Emporia) and other proponents of health care choice announced their effort to seek the amendment and their opposition to federal control of health care Tuesday.</p>
<p>Landwehr was first to address the audience gathered at the <a title="Wichita Independent Business Association (WIBA)" href="http://www.wiba.org/">Wichita Independent Business Association </a>about the proposed amendment.</p>
<p>“It will preserve and protect the rights of individuals to make their own health care and health insurance decisions. It doesn’t belong with the government. It doesn’t belong with our insurance companies. It belongs to the individuals. It also belongs to the physicians that we choose to do business with.”</p>
<p>The group planned bus stops in Wichita, Emporia, Topeka and Overland Park to make the announcement.</p>
<p>A news release (see bel0w) includes the text of the resolution and the proposed 16th Article to the Kansas Constitution which states in part:</p>
<blockquote><p>“A law or rule shall not compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer or health care provider to participate in any health care system.</p>
<p>“A person or employer may pay directly for lawful health care services and shall not be required to pay penalties or fines for paying directly for lawful health care services.”</p></blockquote>
<div id="attachment_1585" style="width: 193px"><img style="margin: 5px 6px" src="http://kansas.watchdog.org/files/2009/10/DrWATSON-183x300.jpg" alt="DrWATSON" width="183" height="300" /> Dr. George Watson </div>
<p>Dr. George Watson a Park City, Kansas, physician and president of the <a title="Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Inc." href="http://www.aapsonline.org/">Association of American Physicians and Surgeons</a>, said he was there to help inoculate Kansans against the effects of “Potomac Fever.” He said the “fever” infects well-meaning representatives of both parties and causes swelling of the head to the point that they forget who elected them.</p>
<p>“With this swollen head the formerly sane representatives pass government mandates, many of which are unconstitutional and many are also unfunded.”</p>
<p>Watson said that the amendment might not protect federal representatives from infection but it will protect Kansas citizens from being effected by the epidemic in Washington.</p>
<p>During a brief question-and-answer period Watson said the group has their work cut out for them. “The fight is on right now between the government bureaucrats and the insurance companies and it is all about control. It isn’t about health care. It’s about control.</p>
<p>“We have to stand up for the patients in order to be sure that you as a patient have the freedom to choose which doctor you go to, which hospital you go to and the kind of care that you’re going to receive. And we can’t guarantee that we can change Washington but we can take a stand right here in the state for constitutional values and we can ask a question every time they pass something, ‘Is this constitutional?’ And a lot of it isn’t.”</p>
<p><em><a title="Wichita Eagle" href="http://www.kansas.com/">Wichita Eagle</a></em> reporter Dion Lefler asked Landwehr, “Does Kansas have the power to do this?” The quick response from the small audience included shouts of, “Yes we do,” and, “We created the federal government.”</p>
<p>“We’ve been given rights by the Constitution and we’re going to uphold those,” Landwehr said in response.</p>
<p>Much of the presentation and the group’s foundation are built on individual liberties guaranteed by the <a title="U.S. Constitution" href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.overview.html">U.S. Constitution</a>.</p>
<p>During the 2009 legislative session Pilcher Cook and 23 other state senators co-sponsored Senate <a href="http://www.pilchercook.com/TenthAmendment/">Concurrent Resolution 1615</a>. The bill reaffirms the <a title="10th Amendment" href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.billofrights.html#amendmentx">Tenth Amendment to the Constitution</a> of the United States, preserving to the people and the states all powers not specifically vested in the federal government. The bill, which will be high on the Senate’s agenda during the 2010 session, “serves notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates; providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed; and directing distribution.”</p>
<p>Several states have already passed <a href="http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/">similar legislation</a> reaffirming states rights under the 10th Amendment and others have bills pending. In June Arizona’s legislature <a href="http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/06/26/arizona-hcr2014-national-health-care-nullification/">approved legislation</a> to constitutionally override any law, rule or regulation that requires individuals or employers to participate in any particular health care system. The measure will be on the 2010 ballot.</p>
<p>One Wichita audience member said the “hands off my health care” bus should be renamed, “hands off my freedom.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Dear Karl,</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Last night from our Americans for Prosperity &#8220;Hands Off My Health Care&#8221; town hall meeting at the Raleigh fairgrounds, I watched along with 1,100 activists as the President declared he has basically saved our economy since coming into office in January. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">By &#8220;saved,&#8221; the President means passing the $1-trillion &#8220;stimulus&#8221; bill in the spring that drove our debt through the roof while wasting money on boondoggles across the nation. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">The President&#8217;s self-congratulatory rhetoric was stunning when our unemployment is creeping toward 10%, budget deficits are the biggest in American history and our national debt is through the roof.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Sadly, the President then went on to repeat many of the same falsehoods that he has used for months in the health care debate. First, he declared that the Washington health care takeover will not change in any way the health care coverage of the 85% of Americans who currently like their health care. Most Americans know better.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Then, he once again attacked the millions of Americans like you and me who have attended town hall meetings, rallies, and tea parties to defend their health care and oppose the Washington takeover. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;line-height: 150%" align="center"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3485/3906898092_d70c7d540b.jpg" alt="" width="439" height="290" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;line-height: 150%" align="center"><em><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">AFP activists telling President Obama Hands Off My Health Care</span></em></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Next, the President stated &#8211; with a straight face &#8211; that his health care takeover will not increase the budget deficit a single penny! The crowd in Raleigh literally roared with laughter at this line, and I suspect most Americans know the truth &#8211; that&#8217;s one reason we&#8217;re winning. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">President Obama said businesses would be required to &#8220;chip in to help cover the cost of their workers,&#8221; a clever way of saying he supports a punitive payroll tax for health care.  Does that mean he supports the 8 percent payroll tax included in H.R. 3200?  That&#8217;s a huge job-killer at a time our economy can least afford it. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">The President stated that his &#8220;public option&#8221; &#8211; aka the government-run insurance plan &#8211; will not harm the private insurance that literally tens of millions of Americans enjoy. But we have seen him on video giving speeches where he details his vision of everyone relying on government health insurance. Click <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/MQRXLFVNXV/GLYOLFXBNX/3913560276">HERE</a> for video. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">The President did acknowledge the need for tort reform to get rid of frivolous lawsuits. However instead of putting this reform in the health care bill President Obama placed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius &#8211; a former lobbyist for trial lawyers &#8211; in charge of such reforms. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">There&#8217;s so much more, but you get the idea.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">I&#8217;ve got a request for you. The President and his friends are counting on this speech being a game changer. It&#8217;s not. But TODAY, you need to tell your member of Congress that the President&#8217;s speech has not changed your mind. <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/MQRXLFVNXV/ASZELFXBNY/3913560276">Act now</a>.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">The bottom line is this: despite a rousing summer when your grassroots activism captured the imagination of the American people and slowed the momentum for the Washington health care takeover, we face a September, October and potentially November where the future of our health care is in doubt. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and the entire big government side is counting on you and me losing interest or growing weary of the fight. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">We can&#8217;t let that happen. This Saturday&#8217;s 9/12 &#8220;Taxpayer March on Washington&#8221; is crucial and I hope to see you there. We&#8217;ll have both our Patients First &#8220;Hands Off My Health Care&#8221; buses cruising the streets around the Capitol. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Then, we&#8217;ve got to keep the pressure on these Senators and Representatives throughout the fall. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">At our rally in Goldsboro yesterday afternoon (just before the big town hall in Raleigh), a lady named Janet walked up to me. Her son is a special needs child and she told me their family&#8217;s story of struggle and achievement &#8211; it was inspiring. But, Janet knows what is at stake for her precious child if we lose this battle over health care, and that&#8217;s why she took time from a busy day to attend the rally and fight the good fight. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">In the decisive weeks and months to come, let&#8217;s make the same commitment.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Sincerely, </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt"><img src="http://defendingthedream.org/timsig.jpg" border="0" alt="Tim's Signature" /></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">Tim Phillips</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%"><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: black;font-size: 9pt">PS: Please let your Senator or member of Congress know that President Obama&#8217;s speech has not changed your position one bit. <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/MQRXLFVNXV/NBPVLFXBNZ/3913560276">Today please call or e-mail</a> because it&#8217;s important for Washington to get the message&#8211;the President&#8217;s speech changes nothing. </span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a group that supports The Constitution and our LAWs that WE wrote, established and ordained on the Government.  This Brewer tailgate party is a GREAT and fun way to meet with hundreds of people who are VERY concerned with what our Government through almost ten decades and both major political parties have done to us to one degree or the other.  I can personally vouch for the general membership "grassroots" of this group.  They are smart, informed and they want to take ACTION to do something about the loss of our INDIVIDUAL rights, freedom, liberty,  prosperity and the nightmare of Federal and State Government spending and taxation.   If you believe in the one and only meaning of freedom, as defined by our Founding Fathers, and you are interested in restoring our unalienable rights and liberty, you are going to love these wonderful people!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Americans For Prosperity have <a href="https://www.campaigncontrolcenter.com/Ticket.php?acct=fightbackwisconsin&amp;myEvent=1">The 3rd Annual Taxpayer Milwaukee Brewer Tailgate Party</a>.</p>
<p>This is a group that supports The Constitution and our LAWs that WE wrote, established and ordained on the Government.  This Brewer tailgate party is a GREAT and fun way to meet with hundreds of people who are VERY concerned with what our Government through almost ten decades and both major political parties have done to us to one degree or the other.  I can personally vouch for the general membership &#8220;grassroots&#8221; of this group.  They are smart, informed and they want to take ACTION to do something about the loss of our INDIVIDUAL rights, freedom, liberty,  prosperity and the nightmare of Federal and State Government spending and taxation.   If you believe in the one and only meaning of freedom, as defined by our Founding Fathers, and you are interested in restoring our unalienable rights and liberty, you are going to love these wonderful people!</p>
<p>Please click on this link to signup for the tailgate party:  <a href="https://www.campaigncontrolcenter.com/Ticket.php?acct=fightbackwisconsin&amp;myEvent=1">https://www.campaigncontrolcenter.com/Ticket.php?acct=fightbackwisconsin&amp;myEvent=1</a></p>
<p><strong>By simply going to go to the tailgate party you can become  a member of Americans for Prosperity.  There is NO COST.</strong> </p>
<p>The organization simply wants to educate individuals so we all realize the rights and power we have individually as a FREE people over our Government.   They do seek donations and they can be more successful when they get them, so there is an importance here,  but there is no actual membership cost.  So go to the tailgate party, join the AFP as a FREE citizen of your independent and sovereign State and help support our &#8220;republic&#8221;.  And, for the cause of &#8220;re-storing&#8221; our rights, liberty and saving our earnings from taxation, bring a friend or three.</p>
<p>Americans for Prosperity (AFP) has chapters in many if not most states.</p>

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>President Obama can&#8217;t deny it anymore. He wants to </strong><span style="color: #ff0000"><em><strong>rip your private health insurance from you, force you into an inferior government-run plan &#8230; and he wants to tax you to death for the privilege</strong></em><strong>. </strong></span><strong><br />
</strong><strong> <br />
<strong>     By now you may have seen the video from </strong><em>NakedEmporerNews.com</em><strong> that shows Obama telling a crowd at the </strong><em>SEIU</em><strong> Health Care forum: </strong></strong></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #ff0000">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There&#8217;s going to be potentially some transition process&#8230; I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out&#8230;.&#8221;</span></em><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>     When that video hit the Internet, liberals cried foul. They screamed that Obama was being taken out of context. And actually, they were right. </strong></p>
<p><strong>     Those of us who have read the </strong><em>ObamaCare</em><strong> plan currently making its way through Congress realize that it&#8217;s far worse&#8230; </strong><em>they don&#8217;t want to do it in 15 years or 20 years&#8230; they actually want to do it in five years, if not sooner</em><strong>. </strong></p>
<p><strong>     Here&#8217;s what Congressman Barney Frank had to say about the </strong><em>&#8220;public option&#8221;</em><strong> that proponents of government-run health care want to force on the American people: </strong></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #ff0000">&#8220;If we get a good public option, it could lead to single payer and that&#8217;s the best way to reach single payer.&#8221;</span><strong>     And how about Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, who was told by a gentleman from an insurance company that <strong>     Schakowsky emphatically screamed to a cheering crowd, <strong>     <span style="color: #ff0000">Right now, people who believe in Socialism and Central Government are re-grouping&#8230; hoping they can sneak Obama&#8217;s dangerous government-run health care experiment by you when Congress returns.</span></strong></strong><span style="color: #ff0000"><em>&#8220;He was right. The man was right.&#8221;</em><strong> </strong><br />
</span><br />
</strong><span style="color: #ff0000"><em>&#8220;a public option will put the private insurance industry out of business and lead to single payer.&#8221; </em><br />
</span><br />
</em><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Social Security and Medicare are already over <span style="color: #ff0000">$90 Trillion Dollars in UNFUNDED liabilities</span>, over the infinite horizon and now, either they want to increase this debt, resulting in <span style="color: #ff0000">MASSIVE INCREASES in Federal &#8220;Withholding&#8221; and Employment Taxes</span> or they want to eliminate Medicare entirely and still need to <span style="color: #ff0000">MASSIVELY INCREASE taxes FAR MORE on the <span style="color: #ff00ff"> </span>middle class</span> by adding even more millions of people AND upto tens of millions of ILLEGAL immigrants to the public trough.  How can America survive another Social Security and Medicare type Ponzi scheme?  </strong><em><strong>Bernie Madoff was an infant rookie compared to what the U.S. Government has done to the personal individual finances in the near future of our fellow countrymen!</strong></em><strong><em><br />
</em></strong><strong> <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="border: 0px" src="http://www.fightbackwisconsin.com/images/Library/pdf/TeaParty1.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="640" height="450" /></p>
<p>OVER 8,000 Wisconsin Citizen&#8217;s in Madison, WI protesting Decades of U.S. Government Policies that have resulted in destruction of INDIVIDUAL freedom, liberty and prosperity.  These protestors are also very angry at the insane level of Socialist spending by The State of Wisconsin, the closing and moving of businesses out of Wisconsin, and the thousands of job losses resulting in unacceptable unemployment rates around the State, resultant from Governor James Doyle policies.  Doyle&#8217;s destruction of our business climate and State taxes and fees that are not tolerable anymore, according to these 8,000 Tea Party goers who chanted RECALL DOYLE, RECALL DOYLE so loud it echoed round the entire block.</p>
<p>Hundreds of Thousands of Americans, across the country, continue to protest decades of tyranny, usurpation, corruption, bailouts, TARP, stimulus packages, over taxation on people and small businesses, the loss of jobs and companies, The Federal Reserve &#8220;System&#8221; (A cartel of 12 privately held banks with massive control) and utter Constitutional contempt by all three branches of the U.S. Government.</p>
<p>In Madison Wisconsin the people also protested against the MASSIVE HUMOUNGUS Socialist spending programs of the State legislature and especially Governor James Doyle.  A group called W.I.N. (Wisconsin Interests Now) is helping Wisconsin citizen&#8217;s improve their lot with regards to insane spending and taxation policies of Governor James Doyle which have resulted in a vast number of business closings, business moving out of Wisconsin and job losses, by way of a Recall.   WIN feels that Wisconsin citizen&#8217;s, businesses, the economy and employment cannot possibly take another whole year of Governor Doyle&#8217;s $6.7 Billion dollar deficit spending and resulting tax and numerous fee raises.</p>
<p>See <a href="http://www.RecallDoyle.com">www.RecallDoyle.com</a></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Watch, in this video, how much the Thousands of Wisconsin citizens at the Madison Tea Party want to see Governor Doyle RECALLED:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GDtFkvAg63E&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GDtFkvAg63E&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>After the destruction of the Wisconsin economy and small businesses through taxation, fees on our citizens and small business and horrible business climate, the resulting loss of jobs and high Wisconsin unemployment numbers and the incredible high level of Socialistic and union spending programs, it is very easy to understand why so many thousands of people are willing to protest for the recall of Governor Doyle.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why are we not going after the extensive oil supplies within U.S. control?
 

Energy exploration in areas under U.S. control requires leasing and approval by the U.S. Minerals Management Service, a federal agency within the Department of the Interior.

 

For nearly three decades, a ban on new exploration in most of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) prevented our nation from accessing vast domestic energy supplies. This ban expired in 2008, but new leasing for offshore exploration has been delayed by an extended comment period authorized by U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. Once a lease is approved, bringing new fuel supplies to market can take up to ten years because of permitting, potential regulatory delays, and facilities development.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #0000ff">Wonder why the cost for everything is so high?</span></h2>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff">The MAJOR underlying reason, <span style="text-decoration: underline">after</span> the revaluation of the dollar due to The Federal Reserve faulty banking and monetary practices, printing of money and all sorts of international corruption and robbery of American taxpayer money, is that leases for the domestic production of oil and gas resources are being held up by the Obama Administration.</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">If the energy necessary for our lives costs so much, such as electricity, heat and light for your home  and if it takes lots of energy to produce any and all products and groceries you can buy and most services,  and additionally it takes a lot of energy to transport all those products to the store where you buy food for example, is there any wonder there isn&#8217;t much left over to support the rest of our economy and general across the board employment?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">The article below is from </span><a href="http://www.partnershipforenergy.com/townhall.aspx?&amp;utm_campaign=Newsletter&amp;utm_source=July_Townhall&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=4"><strong>Partnership for America&#8217;s Energy Security</strong></a><strong>.</strong> <span style="color: #0000ff"> I have written previously that America would be in what I have coined &#8220;The Supernova Effect&#8221; on the equities markets and the general economy.  This would be happening right now if the price of crude would be at its natural uninfluenced by the U.S. Government, price of between $25.00 &#8211; $35.00 a barrel.  That would provide all of us the opportunity to amass some assets of value before the Supernova collapses back in on itself literally destroying &#8220;The MATRIX&#8221; (our economy based on money printed out of thin air on glorified computer printers at the privately held Federal Reserve Banking cartel).  The MATRIX, our economy, will eventually collapse anyway until we LEARN our personal and individual responsibilities to learn what freedom and liberty actually means, which means freedom from government but in compliance with Natural Law (which, for the most part simply means obeying the Ten Commandments and related obvious derivatives thereof) and the values and principles which are a prerequisite thereof.  Additionally we must take the time on a daily or at least weekly basis to individually learn and stay informed as to what our Congress is doing so that we the people, who are IN AUTHORITY over our government, can ENFORCE the rule of OUR laws upon them as we did establish and ordain upon all three branches of Government as written in The Constitution of the United (but individual Sovereign) States of America.  It is our individual responsibilities to stay informed and ENFORCE the law on our Government.  If we refuse or reject our responsibilities we will lose our individual freedom, liberty, rights and our prosperity as we are experiencing right now.  Our founding fathers have documented these facts all over the place; just take a few moments to read the volumes of documents that they have written and left to us to realize these facts.  The reason why we are having so many financial problems right now and why we are losing our rights, freedom and liberty is precisely because we have not heeded our founding fathers warnings nor even read them.  And have we even bothered to read and memorize the Ten Commandments which makes true freedom and liberty possible through values and principles?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Well back to the main thrust of this writing:  Read the following article that reports that the U.S. Government, particularly Secretary of The Interior Ken Salazar, is not allowing leases to go out to the oil companies for drilling and exploration of oil and gas, where the humongous hundreds of billions of barrels of crude and massive volumes of natural gas are just waiting to be tapped.  If these leases were to be released the price of crude would be where it belongs at $25.00 to $35.00 a barrel.  Then our economy would experience the Supernova before it&#8217;s utter collapse, which is going to happen with or without the low priced energy.  But we will all be better off to make and save money and build assets to prepare for the collapse of &#8220;The MATRIX&#8221; (our economy which only exists as programmed into our minds, in that we have been led to believe that a dollar is worth 100 cents when it is backed by almost nothing and so in the &#8220;REAL WORLD&#8221; they are only worth 2 &#8211; 3 cents each.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Short of the U.S. Government obeying the LAW as written in The Constitution to the word, in spirit and intent as it WAS meant when it was originally ratified, &#8220;The MATRIX&#8221;, is going to crash.  The reason why we could save our economy, if the U.S. Government was FORCED to obey our LAWS is because if it did it would quickly become only 1/5th its current size and spending at best and all the rest of the money would be in our hands to spend and live on.  In fact Income Tax wouldn&#8217;t exist.  Can you imagine the economic impact of that?  Also The Federal Reserve would cease to exist and that would quickly result in the rebirth of our freedom, liberty, prosperity and happiness.  You see all of these things are illegal under the LAW that we did establish and ordain as written in the Constituton to protect us from what is happening today, because We The People are not taking care of OUR responsibilities to stay individually informed and largely active in the enforcement of our laws and their impact on legislation and judicial interpetation of OUR LAWs that we created upon Government, because we know better than Government what is best for us individually and for our individual families and how best to spend our personal earnings.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">The only other way to stop it from collapsing is to completely give up on the Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, our freedom and our rights and give into a one world currency followed by a one world government, which would only delay the collapse of The MATRIX by a couple of decades at best and we would be utter slaves to the government and the owners of The Federal Reserve Banking cartel who controls it through total monetary control and the fact that every single nickel that our government spends comes from The Fed and not from the U.S. Taxpayer according to the 1983 Grace Commission Report to President Reagan.  And guess who pays interest on the &#8220;public debit&#8221;?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">My point to all of this:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">You MUST force the U.S. Government to release those leases to our oil companies.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">You must realize what the U.S. Government, all three branches but especially both houses of Congress,  is doing to all of us and do something about it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">You must realize what The Federal Reserve is doing to all of us and do something about it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">The most important thing you can do, because it automatically takes care of the above three items in this list, is to ENFORCE THE LAW, as written in the Constitution, and the values and principles of The Declaration of Independence.  Have you read them lately?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Read the various writings of our wise founding fathers and above all, learn the one and only meaning of &#8220;freedom&#8221;, as it is meant in The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, which is the cardinal LAW of the land that WE wrote to control and be INDIVIDUAL masters of our individual rights and over our Government.  They are not to tell us what to do.  They are not to take our earnings away from us in income taxes and spend it &#8220;for us&#8221;.  It is our right to earn and spend our own money.  Compensation for labor in nothing more than an exchange of assets, labor, skills and paid for education for an equal exchange of property, assets and/or equivalent in currency.</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Now below is an article that will provide you with energy information and how it is that The Obama Administration is purposely and artificially forcing the price of all forms of energy to remain high, even in the face of a recession and impending Depression after &#8220;The Supernova Effect&#8221; takes place, if we are so lucky to have a Supernova effect before The MATRIX collapses.  <span style="color: #ff0000"><strong>You MUST write and call your Congressmen to LET THE LEASES go out!  THIS IS URGENT for your own living and to lower the high cost of everything you pay for.</strong></span></span></p>

Get involved today: review the Question of the Week and previous questions and submit a question of your own!</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Question of the Week</h2>
<h3>Why are we not going after the extensive oil supplies within U.S. control?</h3>
<p> </p>
<p>Energy exploration in areas under U.S. control requires leasing and approval by the U.S. Minerals Management Service, a federal agency within the Department of the Interior.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For nearly three decades, a ban on new exploration in most of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) prevented our nation from accessing vast domestic energy supplies. This ban expired in 2008, but new leasing for offshore exploration has been delayed by an extended comment period authorized by U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. Once a lease is approved, bringing new fuel supplies to market can take up to ten years because of permitting, potential regulatory delays, and facilities development.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oil shale development on U.S. lands was re-authorized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, but Secretary Salazar recently rejected a development plan drafted by the previous Administration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff">The following is an e-mail to Capt. Karl regarding the Tea Party in Madison, WI last Wednesday.  It was OVER 3000 more in protesters than our highest predictions which was 5000.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Do you know what was confirmed by my conversations with HUNDREDS of Tea Party goers?  All of the ones I personally spoke to knew EXACTLY what we were protesting for.  We were protesting to enact the one GUARENTEED solution to nearly ALL OF our national economic and cultural problems.  Do you know what that is?  <span style="color: #800000"><strong>ENFORCEMENT of OUR LAWS, in The Constitution of The United States of America, upon our Government.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Many Americans are starting to realize that our U.S. Government has been thwarting our LAWS, as clearly written in The Constitution,  for decades, which has brought us to economic and financial calamity destroying our financial lives and our liberty today.  The American people are starting to realize that it is <span style="color: #800000"><strong>OUR INDIVIDUAL responsibility to ENFORCE our LAWS on the U.S. Government</strong></span>.  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">As more and more and more Americans read, learn and understand the teachings and writings of our Founding Fathers, more and more and more will rise up in the streets all across America and FORCE the entire U.S. Government to obey the LAW, every single character of it as it WAS meant before all the legalize spin, lying S.O.Bs like Secretary of State Philanderer Knox on the ratification of the 16th Amendment, and legislation from the bench by Supreme Court activist judges.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">TO LEARN WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW to save our country via the Constitution with simple reading of compiled writings of our founding fathers, you must read<strong><span style="color: #800000"> &#8220;THE 5000 YEAR LEAP&#8221;.</span>  </strong>If a critical mass of people read this book, along with engagement and application into action of said studies, we will restore freedom, liberty and individual prosperity, over time, to our country.  </span></p>
