<hr size="1" />Posted: November 17, 2009<br />

<p>Just 12 months after voting by a 53-47 margin to put Barack Obama in the White House, only 43 percent of voters today would re-elect him, according to a new Zogby Internaional–O&#8217;Leary Report Poll.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most voters don&#8217;t trust the president on the number one issue of the day: job creation. On top of that, a surprising plurality of voters, and Independent voters in particular, don&#8217;t side with President Obama on the number one issue to him: whether or not he should be president,&#8221; said Brad O&#8217;Leary, a former NBC Westwood One talk show host and publisher of <a href="http://www.olearyreport.com/">the O&#8217;Leary Report.</a></p>
<p>He&#8217;s also written <a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=6&amp;SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=20&amp;ITEM_ID=2750">&#8220;Shut Up America: The End of Free Speech.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>The pollsters on Nov. 10-12 surveyed 2,879 Americans who had voted in the 2008 presidential election. The results have a margin of error of plus-or-minus 1.9 percent.</p>
<p>The poll asked: If the presidential election were held next month, would you vote to re-elect President Obama or would it be time for someone new in the White House?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The poll showed only 43 percent of Americans who voted in the 2008 presidential election say they would vote to re-elect Obama – a reduction by 10 percent in the votes Obama received on election day last year.</p>
<p>Forty-five percent say they want someone new to be president. Eleven percent say that their vote for or against Obama would depend on who is running against him, and 1 percent are not sure.</p>
<p>Significantly, the poll revealed that only 37 percent of independent voters would vote to re-elect Obama. Forty-six percent say they would like to see someone new. Seventeen percent said they would want to know the opposition first.</p>
<p>Additionally, the poll asked: Please tell me how much you trust the Obama <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116376" target="_top">administration</a> to pass federal legislation to create jobs in 2010?</p>
<p>&#8220;Not at all&#8221; was the response from 42 percent of the voters. Another 11 percent said they do not trust Obama &#8220;much.&#8221; Only about 1 voter in four said they trusted the president &#8220;very much,&#8221; and 18 percent admitted they trusted him &#8220;somewhat.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;President Obama&#8217;s popularity with the voting public has been eroding for some time, but these numbers really drive <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116376" target="_top">home </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116376" target="_top"></a></p>
<p>the point,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114195">WND reported only weeks ago</a> a majority of Americans also are alarmed over attempts by the White <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116376" target="_top">House</a> to stifle dissent or suppress free speech.</p>

International climate treaty feared for impact on liberties</h4>
<hr size="1" />Posted: November 16, 2009<br />
8:56 pm Eastern</p>
<p>By Bob Unruh<br />
© 2009 WorldNetDaily</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A video explaining the dangers of a U.N. treaty proposal promoted by President Obama that critics say would lead to a world government has received more than 3.5 million views since <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=113219">WND broke the story on the ominous possibilities,</a> and now there is word from the Obama <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">administration</a> the plan might not be going so smoothly.</p>
<p>In the video, Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, asserts the real purpose of <a href="http://en.cop15.dk/">the United Nations Climate Change Conference</a> in Copenhagen Dec. 7-18 is to use concern over &#8220;<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">global warming</a>&#8221; as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.</p>
<p>At the U.N. Climate Change <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">Conference</a> in Copenhagen &#8220;this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed,&#8221; Lord Christopher Monckton told <a href="http://mnfreemarketinstitute.org/2009/10/16/monckton-speaks-to-over-700-at-minnesota-free-market-institute-event/">a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience at Bethel University in St. Paul.</a></p>
<p>According to the Minnesota <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">Free Market</a> Institute, the video, as originally posted, has collected 2.2 million views and almost 700 pages of comments, but there also are more than 100 other cloned versions of Monckton&#8217;s comments on YouTube and the aggregate views exceed 3.5 million.</p>
<p>The video helped launch a national petition drive opposing the Copenhagen treaty at <a href="http://www.nocapandtrade.com/">NoCapAndTrade.com,</a> with its more than 135,000 messages to Congress opposing the plan. It&#8217;s been discussed by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham and Michelle Malkin, among others.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMe5dOgbu40&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PMe5dOgbu40&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now there are indications the light of information being spread about the potential problems is casting shadows on the proposal.</p>
<p>&#8220;The more people learn about the supposed issue of &#8216;climate change&#8217; and how green extremists intend to control our lives, the more skeptical they become,&#8221; said Jeff Davis, president of the Minnesota Majority.</p>
<p><em><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=6&amp;SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=92&amp;ITEM_ID=2142">Get &#8220;The Sky&#8217;s Not Falling! Why it&#8217;s OK to chill on global warming&#8221;</a></em></p>
<p>Further, Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs, said in a Bloomberg report today the latest word on Copenhagen is an &#8220;assessment by the leaders that it was unrealistic to expect a full, internationally legally binding agreement to be negotiated between now and when Copenhagen starts.&#8221;</p>
<p>Davis said the impact of Monckton&#8217;s warning is becoming apparent in other ways. He cited a decision just days ago by key U.S. Senate Democrats who confirmed it is unlikely there will be any additional action on climate-change legislation this year. Obama had hoped to pass a cap-and-<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">trade</a> energy taxation plan before the Copenhagen conference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bloomberg&#8217;s report confirmed leaders from Asia have admitted a binding global-warming <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">accord</a> isn&#8217;t likely next month.</p>
<p>Obama attended a <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">meeting </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top"></a></p>
<p>of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Singapore in which leaders proposed a two-stage approach to follow up the failed Kyoto Protocol, which sought to manage <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">emissions</a> worldwide but never earned the support of several of the world&#8217;s leading energy-consuming nations.</p>
<p>Danish Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen told Bloomberg there may be no &#8220;legally binding instrument,&#8221; although a political agreement is possible.</p>
<p>The 1997 Kyoto plan is scheduled to expire in three more years, but years of talks already held have failed to produce agreement on energy restrictions.</p>
<p>Instead, Rasmussen has suggested an agreement to cut greenhouse gases, with an outline for a political agreement that would be the subject of further negotiations.</p>
<p>At the Examiner, a <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">blogger</a> concluded, &#8220;The credibility of global warming theories (and sanctimonious theorists) and any international climate controls are fading with each passing day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Monckton warned in the video that Obama supports the idea and is ready to sign on the dotted line.</p>
<p>&#8220;Your president will sign it. Most of the Third World countries will sign it, because they think they&#8217;re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber-stamp it. Virtually nobody won&#8217;t sign it,&#8221; <a href="http://bigironbegfish.blogspot.com/2009/10/just-wow.html">Monckton told the audience of some 700 attendees.</a></p>
<p>&#8220;I read that treaty and what it says is this: that a world government is going to be created. The word &#8216;government&#8217; actually appears as the first of three purposes of the new entity.&#8221;</p>
<p>He has warned the proposal would cede U.S. sovereignty, mandate a massive wealth transfer from the United States to pay reparations for &#8220;<a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=116256" target="_top">climate</a> debt&#8221; to Third World countries and create a new &#8220;world government&#8221; to enforce the treaty’s provisions.</p>
<p>Davis also warned that while the apparent uncertainty over the treaty has bought some time, it&#8217;s not enough.</p>
<p>&#8220;Green extremists will be back in force trying to advance both domestic cap-and-trade legislation and an international climate treaty that will rob us of our liberties and grant government more control over our lives,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Monckton&#8217;s lecture can be viewed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stij8sUybx0&amp;feature=player_embedded">online</a> and his slides also can be accessed <a href="http://www.friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/monckton_2009.pdf">on the Internet.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guess who else is a &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim? </p>
<p>Either the guy in the following video is a complete and utter bald faced liar or he is telling the TRUTH that he is a &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim.   The Liberty Tree Lantern reports, YOU DECIDE, IF HE IS LYING:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCAffMSWSzY&#038;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCAffMSWSzY&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000">Now are you prepared to call President Obama a complete bald faced liar or do we have a MAJOR deadly PROBLEM in The White House?  And, what about THE MEDIA and both major political parties?</span></h3>
<p>Weren’t people just about shot, before his election, for just mentioning his middle name because it “insinuated” that he was a Muslim?</p>
<p>Islam is a part of promoting “peace”?   You have GOT to be kidding me!  Hasn’t he read the Koran like a good Muslim?  Like the “devout” Muslim did, that just massacred thirteen “Infidel” American Soldiers and maimed over twenty more of our Son and Daughter heroes at Fort Hood, TX?  All &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslims follow the meaning and intent of the Koran, WORD FOR WORD.  That means, therefore, that they believe in &#8220;The Caliphate&#8221;; a religious theocracy that is to grow and expand through either conversion of all peoples to Islam or Murdering the rest who they call &#8220;Infidels&#8221;; such as the ones who worked in the World Trade Towers shown in the video.  Those are the marching ORDERS in the Koran.  Now that being said there are some Muslims who do not follow those bad henious parts of the Koran and I believe they are good peaceful people.  But they are NOT &#8220;devout&#8221; in the pure definition of the word.  Obama, according to his own words, however, is &#8220;devout&#8221;.  And if he get his way, WE ALL WILL BE SOON as he said;&#8221;we are a nation of Muslims.&#8221;  (Or was he lying?)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #800000">I wonder if Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the &#8220;devout&#8221; Fort Knox Caliphate murdering  Muslim,  is disappointed that he hasn&#8217;t gotten to greet Muhammed yet with his 72 Virgins in tow?  <em><strong>Wouldn&#8217;t it be terrible if America graciously arranged the meeting for him, in a couple of weeks or so, and this happened</strong></em>:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center" align="center"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0px" src="http://bibleprobe.com/muhammed-cartoon6.jpg" border="0" alt="muslim virgin cartoon" /></p>
<p>Pardon me but the above video of facts and truth about where President Obama&#8217;s loyalties lie and regards to his deep &#8221;devout&#8221; faith and &#8220;guidance&#8221;" really PISSES ME OFF.  How many Americans knew this BEFORE they elected him? </p>
<p>I shed more than a few tears during the televised funeral of our Fort Hood patriots today who defend our Constitution, our freedom, liberty and individual unalienable rights, from enemies both foreign and domestic,  who that DAMN “devout” Muslim killer murdered in cold defenseless blood on <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">our own American Army base</span></strong> where <strong>our Sons and Daughters</strong> should feel completely free and secure from any harm!</p>
<p>I have had it with Political Correctness, OVER Tolerance and Multiculturalism.  Either you are an “American”, and subscribe and immerse yourself in our UNIQUE “American” Culture like all of the immigrant families used to do when they came to America or you should be free to leave WITHOUT citizenship!  PERIOD.  If ANY PERSON in AMERICA can’t COMPLETELY and FULLY and DESIREOUSLY appreciate “MERRY CHRISTMAS!”, for ONE example, and <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Character-Institutions-United-States/dp/0915815702">The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States</a> </strong>as written by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;sort=relevancerank&amp;search-type=ss&amp;index=books&amp;field-author=Benjamin%20F.%20Morris">Benjamin F. Morris</a> in his 1864 book hot linked here, then they should be shipped out; Or, with regards to politicians for treasonous activities against the Constitution and the God given rights of each <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">individual</span></strong> American, hung.  I have had it with the destruction of our country and our AMERICAN principles by Political Correctness of the Socialist / Communists in academia, media and The US Government itself.</p>
<p>People, how long are we going to be playing around with these Democrats and Republicans who treasonously destroy the principles of the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution and contemptuously usurp power on a daily or hourly basis and foment divisions amongst us through the deceit of multiculturalism and OVER tolerance in lieu of assimilation like all immigrants used to do?  WAKE UP, PEOPLE!</p>
<p>Boy, I am really hot on this one.  Remember how almost the entire Main Stream Media kept on covering up Obama&#8217;s deep &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim heritage and faith, with truth conflicting report over truth conflicting <strong>lying</strong> report before the election?  This is MADNESS!  Isn’t it interesting that the Republican Party didn’t point these events, clearly shown on the video above, out to us during the election process? And why didn’t the Republican Party with all of their financial resources check out Obama’s eligibility?   What the hell was up with that????    I DO NOT trust them either!  Something is going on and I smell a RAT…</p>
<p>I shall endeavor to vote for The Constitution Party, like I did the last time, at every opportunity!  Republicans are just better liars who perform the same function of Marching our fellow Americans  into utter <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">dependency</span></strong> on the path to the Socialist BIG BROTHER police welfare State.  According to reports the Republican Health Care bill isn’t much better than the Democrat one.  Either way the American public becomes “ENSLAVED” and individually IDENTIFIED and MARKED with NO PRIVACY, and ultimately, I submit, NO FREEDOM.</p>
<p>We THE PEOPLE have to get our COUNTRY BACK.  One Way or THE OTHER.  The RULE OF LAW, as WE wrote, established and ordained on our Federal Government, in The Constitution, MUST BE ENFORCED in its entirety!  That foreign born alien has got to go.  Perhaps it is time for America to arrange a little visit with Allah for this man who isn&#8217;t a liar (or do you think he was lying in the video above?).  Finally a Constitutionally supported action, defending the Constitution, our heroes and our fellow countrymen against domestic enemies, that I will gladly &#8220;volunteer&#8221; (as it states in the IRS code), to pay taxes for.</p>
<p>I noticed that a very &#8220;devout&#8221; Muslim, who by his own admission in the video above strongly believes in and is “guided by” the Koran and Muslim faith, who apologies at every nation stop and place he goes to for our unique &#8220;American&#8221; culture and our prosperity, spoke at the funeral of murdered American soldiers.  <span><span style="color: #800000"><span style="color: maroon"><em><span style="color: #0000ff">Wasn&#8217;t that Special?</span>   Speak of</em> <em>ironic</em> <span style="color: maroon"> <em><strong>juxtaposition</strong> to </em></span></span></span><em>the </em></span><em><strong><span style="color: maroon">max!</span></strong><span style="color: maroon">  Remember</span><strong><span style="color: maroon">; &#8220;</span></strong><span style="color: maroon">Not God Bless America</span><strong><span style="color: maroon">, God Damn America!&#8221;</span></strong></em><span style="color: maroon">  </span></p>

<p>Are you still wondering why President Obama hasn&#8217;t sent  in more troops and equipment into Afghanistan, to fight the Caliphate “devout” Muslims while our soldiers on the battlefield get needlessly killed due to lack thereof,  by now?  How many of our own died over there, in the last few months, while our honorable Generals and commanders wait on Obama&#8217;s decision? Hasn’t Obama got in enough golf games and gallivanting around the world with Oprah Winfrey pitching for the Olympics to come to Chicago and such important things as that, to make a decision by now?  </p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000">ONE MORE QUESTION &#8211; - -  HOW LONG WILL &#8220;FREE SPEECH LAST&#8221; before Youtube is coerced into pulling this video of TRUTH?</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">And, just as importantly or more so, how many Tories are there amongst us who want it pulled?  You should ask the people around you what they think of this video so that you can ascertain who are the Tories who live in your community, who your family needs to be aware of.  </span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">The time of choosing is soon at hand folks.  It is a choice <span style="text-decoration: underline">none of us can avoid</span> with the advent of the coming collapse of &#8220;The MATRix&#8221; (our economy that only exists in our minds which have been Mass Behavior Modified to believe that FEDERAL RESERVE &#8220;NOTES&#8221; are worth 100 cents, when they are only worth 2 &#8211; 3 cents in the &#8216;real&#8217; world of reality).  The question becomes; Will you choose individual rights, freedom, liberty and OUR GOD, or will you choose the &#8220;Godless&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;green&#8221; hybrid of Socialism, Communism and Fascism that all three branches and both major parties of our Federal Government has in store for us as &#8220;The MATRIX&#8221; is soon to collapse?  </span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">If you choose Liberty, you sure <span style="text-decoration: underline">better know</span> who the Tories are around you.  And, beware of them, when the time of choosing arrives, when Barack Obama gives us &#8220;The Final Ultimatum&#8221; between Liberty and the security of a ONE WORLD CURRENCY which comes with the final destruction of the Constitution and our &#8220;God Given&#8221; unalienable rights.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000">Anybody who wants to keep the truth from you, is NOT your friend or a patriot, but a Tory.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff">Lord, save our country!   - &#8211; -   Our &#8216;FREE&#8217;,,,    Country!</span></h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Bank-connected congressman blamed for undermining bill</h2>
<hr size="1" />Posted: October 31, 2009<br />
6:15 pm Eastern</p>
<p>By Drew Zahn<br />
© 2009 WorldNetDaily</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 201px"><img style="border: 0px" src="http://www.wnd.com/images/misc/paulmedium.jpg" border="0" alt="U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas" width="191" height="230" /><p class="wp-caption-text">U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas</p></div>
<p><span><br />
</span>Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, has complained that the bill he sponsored calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve has been &#8220;gutted&#8221; by congressional committee, pointing specifically to a legislator whose campaign coffers have been boosted by the banking <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">industry</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=90608">As WND reported</a>, Paul sponsored <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:h1207:">H.R. 1207</a>, a bill requiring the Federal Reserve – an organization that&#8217;s independent from the U.S. government but nonetheless oversees U.S. monetary policy – be opened to oversight by Congress. <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=111812">The plan compiled over 300 co-sponsors in the House</a> before being sent to committee.</p>
<p>But in a telephone interview with a Bloomberg reporter, Paul said the teeth have been ripped out of the bill.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing left; it&#8217;s been gutted,&#8221; Paul said. &#8220;This is not a partisan issue. People all over the country want to know what the Fed is up to, and this legislation was supposed to help them do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Paul told Bloomberg the bill has been stripped of provisions that closed loopholes protecting the Fed, including exemption from audits of transactions with foreign central banks and protected <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">communications </a>between the Board, reserve banks and staff.</p>
<p> <em><a href="http://www.wnd.com/petition_fed">Demand the money managers come clean by signing the petition in support of an audit of the Federal Reserve now!</a></em></p>
<p>Paul blamed the chairman of the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">House </a>Financial Service Committee&#8217;s panel on domestic monetary policy, <a href="http://watt.house.gov/contactinfo.asp">Rep. Mel Watt</a>, D-N.C., for eliminating &#8220;just about everything&#8221; in preparation for the bill&#8217;s consideration on the floor of the House.</p>
<p> Watt, is has also been revealed, has significant connections to the banking industry.</p>
<p>It its report, Bloomberg mentioned that Watt&#8217;s congressional district includes Charlotte, headquarters of Bank of America Corp., the biggest U.S. lender.</p>
<p>Further investigation through <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cycle=2008&amp;cid=N00002328&amp;type=I">OpenSecrets.org</a> reveals that the largest share of Watt&#8217;s campaign contributions in the 2008 election cycle came from the finance, <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">insurance</a> and real estate industries.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0px" src="http://www.wnd.com/images/091031wattcontributors.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="534" height="279" /><br />
<span>Breakdown of <a id="KonaLink4" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: xx-small;font-weight: 400"><span>industries</span></span></a> supporting Rep. Mel Watt&#8217;s 2008 campaign (graph from <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cycle=2008&amp;cid=N00002328&amp;type=I">OpenSecrets.org</a>)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left">In fact, of $609,072 given to Watt, $217,109 – or 35.6 percent – came from the money sector, including over $187,000 – or nearly 31 percent of his total contributions – from political action committees within the <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">finance </a>, insurance and real estate industry. The next highest industry supporting Watt was labor, which contributed only 14 percent of his total war chest.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the four largest contributors to Watt&#8217;s cause were Bank of America, Wachovia Corp., American Express and the American Bankers Association.</p>
<p>Keith Kelly, a spokesman for Watt, declined to comment and told Bloomberg Watt wasn&#8217;t immediately available for an interview.</p>
<p>Paul, however, told Bloomberg he intends to introduce an amendment that would restore the bill&#8217;s legislation to its original language when it comes to the House floor for a vote.</p>
<p>Paul long has been a critic of the secrecy of the Federal Reserve.</p>
<p>&#8220;Throughout its nearly 100-year history, the Federal Reserve has presided over the near-complete destruction of the United States dollar,&#8221; he said earlier. &#8220;Since 1913, the dollar has lost over 95 percent of its purchasing power, aided and abetted by the Federal Reserve&#8217;s loose monetary policy.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=6&amp;SUBDEPARTMENT_ID=20&amp;ITEM_ID=2691">You&#8217;ve never needed to understand money like you need to understand it now! &#8220;Web of Debt: The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free&#8221; unravels the deception of the Federal Reserve and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading.</a></em></p>
<p>&#8220;Since its inception, the Federal Reserve has always operated in the shadows, without sufficient scrutiny or oversight of its <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">operations</a>,&#8221; Paul said when the plan to audit the Fed was introduced. &#8220;While the conventional excuse is that this is intended to reduce the Fed&#8217;s susceptibility to political pressures, the reality is that the Fed acts as a foil for the government. Whenever you question the Fed about the strength of the dollar, they will refer you to the Treasury, and vice versa. The Federal Reserve has, on the one hand, many of the privileges of government agencies, while retaining benefits of private organizations, such as being insulated from Freedom of Information Act requests.&#8221;</p>

<p>Paul has warned, &#8220;The Federal Reserve can enter into agreements with foreign central banks and foreign governments, and the GAO is prohibited from <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">auditing</a> or even seeing these agreements. Why should a government-established agency, whose police force has federal <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">law enforcement</a> powers, and whose notes have legal tender status in this country, be allowed to enter into agreements with foreign powers and foreign banking institutions with no oversight? Particularly when hundreds of billions of dollars of currency swaps have been announced and implemented, the Fed&#8217;s negotiations with the European Central Bank, the Bank of International Settlements, and other institutions should face increased scrutiny, most especially because of their significant effect on foreign policy. If the State Department were able to do this, it would be characterized as a rogue agency and brought to heel, and if a private individual did this he might face prosecution under the Logan Act, yet the Fed avoids both fates.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.</p>
<p>I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.</p>
<p>Later in life, questions arose over my real name.</p>
<p>My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.</p>
<p>I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but</p>
<p>I practiced non-traditional beliefs &amp; didn\&#8217;t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.</p>
<p>I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.</p>
<p>That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.</p>
<p>I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.</p>
<p>I became active in local politics in my 30&#8217;s then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.</p>
<p>I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.</p>
<p>I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.</p>
<p>At first, my political campaign focused on my country\&#8217;s foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.</p>
<p>But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country\&#8217;s economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed &amp; housed for free.</p>
<p>I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks &amp; corporations.<br />
I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.</p>
<p>I called mine &#8220;A People&#8217;s Campaign&#8221; and that sounded good to all people.</p>
<p>I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics &amp; was able to gain widespread popular support.</p>
<p>I knew that, if I merely offered the people &#8216;hope&#8217; , together we could change our country and the world.</p>
<p>So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include &#8220;persecuted minorities&#8221; like the Jews. My true views were not widely known &amp; I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation&#8217;s leader.</p>
<p>I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.</p>
<p>I\&#8217;m glad they didn&#8217;t. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.</p>
<p>Who am I?</p>
<p>ADOLF HITLER OF COURSE</p>
<p>WERE YOU THINKING OF SOMEONE ELSE ?</p>

<p>A California judge has dismissed a complaint challenging President Obama&#8217;s eligibility to be president citing the &#8220;birth certificate from the state of Hawaii&#8221; that apparently refers to an <a id="KonaLink0" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>Internet</span></span></a> image of a &#8220;Certification of Live Birth&#8221; released during Obama&#8217;s campaign.</p>
<p>The ruling came this morning from Judge David Carter <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114294">who as WND reported last night</a> apparently recently hired a law clerk out of the <a id="KonaLink1" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>law </span><span>firm</span></span></a> that has been paid nearly $1.7 million to defend Obama from eligibility challenges.</p>
<p>A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._Carter">Wikipedia page</a> has been cited by dozens of bloggers after it listed Siddarth Velamoor as one of the newest law clerks for Carter – who today released his ruling dismissing the complaint in the Barnett v. Obama case in the Central District, Southern Division Court in Santa Ana, Calif.</p>
<p>Velamoor is also listed <a href="http://www.martindale.com/Siddharth-Velamoor/33735949-lawyer.htm">in the Martindale lawyer database as an associate of international law firm Perkins Coie</a>, the same law firm of Robert Bauer – top lawyer for Obama, Obama&#8217;s presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and Obama&#8217;s <a id="KonaLink2" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>Organizing</span></span></a> for America – and the same Washington, D.C., lawyer who defended President Obama in lawsuits challenging his eligibility to be president.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114202">As WND has reported</a>, Federal Election Commission records for &#8220;Obama for America&#8221; show that the lobby organization has paid Perkins Coie $1,666,397.01 since the 2008 election.</div>
<p>Gary Kreep of the <a href="http://www.usjf.net/">United States Justice Foundation</a> confirmed immediately that his clients – two of about four dozen in the case – would be filing an appeal. California <a id="KonaLink3" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>attorney</span></span></a> Orly Taitz, representing the rest of the clients, also promised not only an appeal of the decision but of future cases that will be filed.</p>
<p>&#8220;This [<a id="KonaLink4" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>opinion</span></span></a>] looks like it was written by the defense,&#8221; she told WND.</p>
<p>She described the fight against Obama as &#8220;very tough.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He has more power than anybody, unlimited financial resources, and a lot to hide,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Plaintiffs argue that despite the fact that President Obama has produced a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii, there is evidence to show that the president was actually born in Kenya, thus making him ineligible to be president,&#8221; Carter wrote.</p>
<p>However, Obama&#8217;s long-form original birth certificate has remained under seal. The image posted by his campaign on the Internet is a different document, a &#8220;Certification of Live Birth,&#8221; that apparently is computer generated and has been challenged by a number of critics over its authenticity.</p>
<p>In fact, the authenticity of the &#8220;Certification of Live Birth&#8221; has been a focal point of numerous court challenges to Obama&#8217;s eligibility, and Taitz earlier submitted to Carter a copy of what purported to be a Kenyan birth certificate for Obama, asking for permission to verify its authenticity.</p>
<p>WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama&#8217;s status as a &#8220;natural born citizen.&#8221; The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, &#8220;No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama&#8217;s American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.</p>
<p>Other challenges have focused on Obama&#8217;s citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.</p>
<p>Further, others question his citizenship by virtue of his attendance in Indonesian schools during his childhood and question on what passport did he travel to Pakistan three decades ago.</p>
<p>Adding fuel to the fire is Obama&#8217;s persistent refusal to release documents that could provide answers and the appointment – at a cost confirmed to be at least $1.7 million – of myriad lawyers to defend against all requests for his documentation. While his supporters cite an online version of a &#8220;Certification of Live Birth&#8221; from Hawaii as his birth verification, critics point out such documents actually were issued for children not born in the state.</p>
<p>The ultimate questions remain unaddressed to date: Is Obama a natural born citizen, and, if so, why hasn&#8217;t documentation been provided? And, of course, if he is not, what does it mean to the 2008 election or the U.S. Constitution if it is revealed that there has been a violation?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=100613">WND also has reported that among the documentation not yet available</a> for Obama includes his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia <a id="KonaLink5" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>University</span></span></a> records, Columbia thesis, Harvard <a id="KonaLink6" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>Law </span><span>School</span></span></a> records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, <a id="KonaLink7" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>medical </span><span>records</span></span></a>, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records.</p>
<p><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=2866">Because of the dearth of information about Obama&#8217;s eligibility, WND founder Joseph Farah has launched a campaign to raise contributions to post billboards asking a simple question: &#8220;Where&#8217;s the birth certificate?&#8221;</a></p>
<table border="0" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="614"><img src="http://www.wnd.com/images/misc/mandalayatnight1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<span>&#8220;Where&#8217;s The Birth Certificate?&#8221; billboard at the Mandalay Bay resort on the Las Vegas Strip </span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p> </p>
<p>The campaign followed <a href="http://www.wnd.com/obama_petition">a petition that has collected more than 475,000 signatures</a> demanding proof of his eligibility, <a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=2942">the availability of yard signs</a> raising the question and <a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=2722">the production of permanent, detachable magnetic bumper stickers asking the question.</a></p>
<p>The &#8220;certification of live birth&#8221; posted online and widely touted as &#8220;Obama&#8217;s birth certificate&#8221; does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same &#8220;short-form&#8221; document is easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii. The true &#8220;long-form&#8221; birth certificate – which includes information such as the name of the birth <a id="KonaLink8" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>hospital</span></span></a> and attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release for public or press scrutiny.</p>
<p>Oddly, though congressional <a id="KonaLink9" href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114411#" target="_top"><span style="color: blue !important;font-size: 17px;font-weight: 400"><span>hearings</span></span></a> were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a &#8220;natural born citizen,&#8221; no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama&#8217;s claim to a Hawaiian birth.</p>
<p>Carter&#8217;s dismissal revolved around his determination that the plaintiffs lacked &#8220;standing&#8221; to bring the complaint, including those plaintiffs who were third-party candidates in the 2008 presidential election.</p>
<p>&#8220;The court is troubled by the idea that a third party candidate would not have standing to challenge a major party candidate&#8217;s qualifications, while the opposing major party candidate may be able to establish standing because he or she has a better chance of winning the election,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He warned, &#8220;Defendants&#8217; argument encourages the marginalization of the voice of a third party in what is a dominantly two-party political system and would require the court to pass judgment that plaintiffs are such unlikely candidates that who they are running against would not make a difference.</p>
<p>&#8220;This argument also ignores the tremendous effect that a third-party candidate can have on the presidential election. In 2000, many political commentators opined that should Green Party candidate Ralph Nader not have run for presidential office and received less than three percent of the popular vote, Al Gore would have won the election instead of President George W. Bush. Even when third-party candidates themselves may not have a chance of winning, which candidates they compete against can certainly have an effect on the election results,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>But he also said once Obama was sworn into office on Jan. 20, the question no longer was over a potentially ineligible candidate but of the removal of a sitting president.</p>
<p>Obama took the oath of office on Jan. 20, hours before the complaint was filed. However, Obama also took the oath of office the next day, on Jan. 21, after the complaint was filed, because he stumbled over the words during the Jan. 20 event.</p>
<p>&#8220;In order to cure plaintiffs&#8217; perceived injury, the court would need to wade deep into the waters of the president&#8217;s official duties – in fact, it would have to declare that the president could no longer perform any official duties. The separation of powers concerns implicated by this request are grave,&#8221; Carter wrote.</p>
<p>He also cited the separation of powers doctrine and the Constitution&#8217;s assignment of the power of impeaching a sitting president to Congress.</p>
<p>Carter cited Kreep&#8217;s arguments that Obama never met the constitutional requirements to run for president.</p>
<p>&#8220;There may very well be a legitimate role for the judiciary to interpret whether the natural born citizen requirement has been satisfied in the case of a presidential candidate who has not already won the election and taken office. However, on the day that President Obama took the presidential oath and was sworn in, he became president of the United States. Any removal of him from the presidency must be accomplished through the Constitution’s mechanisms for the removal of a president, either through impeachment or the succession process set forth in the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114256">WND reported several days ago on a separate challenge to Obama&#8217;s eligibility that also was taken to the appellate level.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friend of Liberty,</p>
<p>Trillions of dollars are being stolen from the U.S. taxpayer.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Right now, you and I are seeing the worst plundering of a country&#8217;s wealth in the history of civilization, led by an out of control Federal Reserve</span>.</p>
<p>But together you and I CAN put a stop to it all.</p>
<p>With your help (including submitting the petition linked below to your Congressman and Senators) today, Representative Ron Paul, Senator Jim DeMint and Campaign for Liberty are ready to fight back, by taking the battle straight to the heart of the problem &#8211; the Federal Reserve itself.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Just think about the scope of the problem for a minute: The massive, outrageous amount of dollars committed to the economic bailouts in recent months totals</span>:</p>
<p>More than the socialist New Deal &#8230; More than the entire Iraq debacle &#8230; More than the 1980&#8217;s savings and loan mess &#8230; More than the Korean War &#8230;</p>
<p>COMBINED.</p>
<p>When will it all end?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time you and I put a stop to a renegade Federal Reserve by exposing the Fed&#8217;s out of control actions to the American people.  And Congressman Ron Paul and Senator Jim DeMint have a bill before Congress to do just that, known as the &#8220;Audit the Fed&#8221; Bill (HR 1207 and S 604).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s vital you click here to submit your &#8220;Audit the Fed&#8221; petition in support of Congressman Paul&#8217;s bill</a></span>.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>You see, Audit the Fed already has almost 300 cosponsors!</p>
<p>Now is the time to make sure your Congressman and Senators feel the heat to support the Audit the Fed bill!</p>
<p>If you and I don&#8217;t act today, I&#8217;m afraid this crisis will end with the economic ruin of every man, woman and child in America.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Today, nearly 13 TRILLION in taxpayer dollars in bailouts and loans has been agreed to by Congress, the Bush and Obama Treasury Departments, and the out of control Fed</span>.</p>
<p>So is it really any wonder more and more folks are starting to realize the Washington, D.C. establishment is hurtling us toward complete economic disaster?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Whether it&#8217;s watching a phony &#8220;stimulus&#8221; package get rammed into law or watching Congress pass a $700 BILLION bank &#8220;bailout&#8221; under threat of martial law, the American people are agitated and increasingly angry</span>.</p>
<p>That means it&#8217;s a perfect time to unleash the pressure of MILLIONS of outraged Americans on the out of control Fed!</p>
<p><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">So please click here to sign the petition linked below urging your Congressman and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes to pass the Audit the Fed Bill</a>!</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>As I know you&#8217;re aware, the Federal Reserve is shrouded in secrecy.  Their meetings are off-limits to the public.  Their inner workings are off-limits to the public.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">And just recently, the Federal Reserve told Congress &#8220;NO WAY&#8221; when asked to account for $2 TRILLION in taxpayer-backed loans</span>!</p>
<p>Well, why do you think they refused?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">They know coming clean with Congress and the American people on how they doled out that two TRILLION dollars would result in an anti-Fed firestorm</span>.</p>
<p>So can you imagine the impact of a full-scale audit? You and I will finally be able to show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:</p>
<p>*** <span style="text-decoration: underline">Constant economic crises</span> &#8212; the housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally-planned interest rates and money manipulation;</p>
<p>*** <span style="text-decoration: underline">The destruction of the middle class</span> &#8212; as fuel, food, housing, medical care and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money slowly decreases;</p>
<p>*** <span style="text-decoration: underline">Currency destruction</span> &#8212; history shows us that riots, violence and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize our money isn&#8217;t worth the paper it&#8217;s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.</p>
<p>And unless you and I do end the madness in Washington, D.C., we may be closer than we&#8217;d like to think to learning that history lesson firsthand &#8212; right here in our own streets.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">That&#8217;s why your commitment to helping pass the Audit the Fed Bill &#8212; and helping Campaign for Liberty fight this battle &#8212; is so vital</a></span>.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>Just a few months ago, there was no chance of passing any legislation like the Audit the Fed Bill.  So I guess there has been one &#8220;CHANGE.&#8221;</p>
<p>You see, with the piling up of trillions of dollars in out of control &#8220;bailouts&#8221; of Wall Street and international bankers, even many politicians in Washington want to show you they&#8217;re &#8220;being responsible.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">What better way for Congress to do this than by auditing the Federal Reserve to account for the trillions stolen from the U.S. taxpayers</span>?</p>
<p>More and more Congressmen are already feeling the pressure and are signing up to support this bill.  I&#8217;ve even received word this bill could move in the next few weeks in the U.S. House.</p>
<p>When that happens, you and I must be ready to fight.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">And, it&#8217;s both a bill we CAN pass, and one that is vital to exposing the massive corruption and dollar manipulation at the Federal Reserve</span>.</p>
<p>You see, after regulating, taxing, spending, borrowing and printing us into what looks like the worst recession in decades, establishment politicians and power brokers are assuring us they&#8217;re working hard to &#8220;fix&#8221; our economic woes.  What is their solution?  You guessed it.  More of the same!</p>
<p>And even if the Audit the Fed Bill is defeated this time, just forcing a vote is a win/win situation.</p>
<p>Can you imagine how many politicians will pay the price at the ballot box in 2010 when you and I tell the American people their Congressman somehow lost trillions of taxpayer dollars and refused to even LOOK for it?</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>Now we just need to show Congress the American people demand action on the Audit the Fed Bill.  Here&#8217;s how we plan to do that.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">First, we&#8217;re already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones and email to generate petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding action on Ron Paul&#8217;s Audit the Fed Bill</span>.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s just the beginning.  We&#8217;ll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to ratchet up the pressure even further on Congress.</p>
<p>And a few days before the vote, if we have the resources, we&#8217;d also like to run hard-hitting targeted radio, TV and newspaper ads.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">This entire program is designed to send this one, CLEAR message to Congress: Any politician who votes against the Federal Reserve Audit should look for another job</span>.</p>
<p>But such a massive effort won&#8217;t be easy &#8212; or cheap.</p>
<p>So in addition to submitting your petition, I also hope you&#8217;ll agree to make a contribution of $1000, $500, $250, or $100 to Campaign for Liberty.</p>
<p>If $100 is too much to ask right now, please make a contribution of $50 or even $25 today.  Every dollar will help, and every dollar will go to this vital fight.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">I know times are hard, but if we don&#8217;t take action, the America we see in just a few years could look far worse than even the one we see today</span>.</p>
<p>Can I count on you to join the fight to AUDIT THE FED by <a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE">clicking here to sign the petition</a>, and by making a generous contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, $50 &#8212; or whatever you can afford &#8212; to Ron Paul&#8217;s Campaign for Liberty?</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>John F. Tate<br />
President</p>
<p>P.S. Please submit the petition urging your Congressman and Senators to cosponsor and seek roll call votes on Rep. Ron Paul&#8217;s Audit the Fed Bill TODAY!</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://email.wnd.com/ct/3547367:5094920387:m:1:148392825:5D86DB511E072732FE52BA49A83FACFE"></a></p>
<p>With Congress spending like never before, and TRILLIONS of new dollars being created out of thin air, it&#8217;s never been more important the Federal Reserve&#8217;s abuses are exposed to the American people once and for all. And, along with submitting your petition, please make a contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, or $50 to Campaign for Liberty TODAY!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>October 27, 2009</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>By</strong> <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/author/sen_tom_coburn/"><strong>Sen. Tom Coburn</strong></a></p>
<p>The day after White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel&#8217;s Clintonesque plan to triangulate and divide Republicans and doctors failed a major newspaper published this headline: &#8220;Democrats Lose Big Test Vote on Health Legislation.&#8221; The title was so fair and balanced many media obsessed White House advisers could have attributed it to Fox News. Yet, it was the New York Times that captured in a well-written, fair and subtle story the depth of the challenge the White House faces in its push to enact major health care reform legislation.</p>
<p>As the Times reported, &#8220;[Majority Leader Reid] needed 60 votes to proceed. He won only 47. And he could not blame Republicans. A dozen Democrats and one independent crossed party lines and voted with Republicans &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p align="center">Bottom of Form</p>
<p>The first lesson for the White House in this defeat is that public concern about the deficit is real, not manufactured. Twelve Democrats opposed the Emanuel strategy not just on principle but sound political judgment. Senate Democrats understand that voters, by a two to one margin, want Congress to address the deficit first, then health care. They knew that the effort to spend a quarter of a trillion dollar outside of the reform process was shameless and fiscally irresponsible. As Ron Wyden (D-WA), one of the &#8220;no&#8221; votes, said in the Times article, &#8220;On the eve of a historic debate on health care, it&#8217;s essential to show a commitment to real reform,&#8221; which includes fiscal responsibility.</p>
<p>The Washington Post &#8211; not Fox News &#8211; went farther and blasted the Emanuel/Reid triangulation strategy, calling it &#8220;nonsensical&#8221; and &#8220;sleight of hand.&#8221; As the Post wrote: &#8220;The political imperative is twofold: to make certain that Republicans don&#8217;t use the physician payment issue to bring down the larger bill and to placate the American Medical Association &#8230; A president who says that he is serious about dealing with the dire fiscal picture cannot credibly begin by charging this one to the national credit card, with no concern for the later generations who will have to pay the bill.&#8221;</p>
<p>The nation&#8217;s doctors also understood the strategy and weren&#8217;t impressed by Emanuel and Reid&#8217;s plan to manipulate them into backing off of their support for tort reform. A poll on Sermo.com &#8211; a Facebook-like site which represents 110,000 real world physicians who sacrifice their own time to participate in a serious public debate about health care (in contrast to the American Medical Association, which represents itself and its Washington lobbying shop) included troubling results for the Democrats negotiating in secret. Sixty-five percent of nearly 1,000 respondents said they were &#8220;very concerned&#8221; about the Senate passing a fix for their own profession that was not offset, and 77 percent said they were &#8220;very unsatisfied&#8221; or &#8220;unsatisfied&#8221; with the substance of the so-called fix.</p>
<p>If the first lesson is to get serious about the deficit, the second lesson for the White House is to go back to first principles and conduct this effort with more maturity and less partisanship.</p>
<p>When Barack Obama launched his campaign in 2007 he said, &#8220;&#8230; it&#8217;s not the magnitude of our problems that concerns me the most. It&#8217;s the smallness of our politics &#8230; We have to change our politics, and come together around our common interests and concerns as Americans.&#8221;</p>
<p>Why then, on the eve of the most important domestic policy debate in a generation, are the President&#8217;s advisers talking about Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News? Is this really a common interest and concern among Americans? Would the average voter consider this form of politics to be big or small?</p>
<p>By spending time on juvenile and crass partisan strategies the President&#8217;s advisers triangulated the wrong target &#8211; their own allies. Their tone and tactics united Republicans (all 40 voted against the doctor fix) and caused 12 key allies to fall away.</p>
<p>The Barack Obama I know and worked with in the Senate (through his initiation) is capable of so much more. America needs that Barack Obama to change the tone and go back to attacking problems rather than personalities.</p>
<p>If he does, he&#8217;ll find plenty of friends ready to work with him &#8211; old and new. Every Republican wants to enact comprehensive health care reform that lowers costs, improves quality and increases choice. No matter how often our motives are questioned we will be ready to discuss plans like the Patients&#8217; Choice Act, which I&#8217;m sponsoring with Senator Burr (R-NC) and Representatives Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Devin Nunes (R-CA), that cover more people than the Democrat plans without pushing our economy off a cliff.</p>
<p>Yes, elections have consequences. The White House certainly has the right to continue its clever partisan strategy. Yet, history shows this process will succeed only if it is truly bipartisan. The doctor fix debate showed that partisanship is the far riskier road.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>From a fellow Blogger:</h4>
<p>Before I get into the details of the title of this post, let me say that I already know some of you are going to want to react to what I write with a bit of malice. I’ve taken a little heat for <a href="http://ericjodom.com/blog/2009/10/the-full-scoop-on-the-ny-23-race/">my post ripping Newt Gingrich about his “Party over Principles” stance over on my personal blog</a>, so I fully understand there are folks who feel very passionate about this issue. But let me also say that for every email against my position, there are twenty in support of it.</p>
<p>If you’re one of the few who are angry about all of this, do us a favor and <a href="http://www.nrcc.org/">point the fingers in the right direction</a>.</p>
<p>If you haven’t been following the NY23 special election, I highly recommend you <a href="http://ericjodom.com/blog/2009/10/the-full-scoop-on-the-ny-23-race/">go read the scoop on my blog</a>. In short, the GOP establishment took the liberty movement for granted, jumped behind the wrong candidate (a far left, liberal Republican) and expected the base to just fold and follow their pick without complaint.</p>
<p>At first. this all just appeared to be a poorly calculated decision for the beltway thugs who pretend to be the conservative movement. I mean, back when Newt Gingrich endorsed far left liberal Dede Sozzafava in the race, the grassroots movement was hardly paying attention. It wasn’t until about two weeks ago when the rest of the country realized what was going on.</p>
<p>During the past week, many movement conservatives have shown full support for conservative candidate Doug Hoffman in the race. Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, Club for Growth and MANY others have thrown their political weight behind him.</p>
<p>And not just the “players”… the Tea Party Movement has gotten involved in a huge way. Using the internet as vessel, the message of conservative candidate Doug Hoffman has traveled far and wide, and support for him has exploded.</p>
<p>Which left egg on the faces of all the establishment heads who jumped into the liberal Republican camp early on.</p>
<p>Mistakes were made. No doubt about it. But here is where it gets wild. Instead of doing the right thing, <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/10/23/dallas-tea-party-activists-push-back-against-gingrichs-straw-men/">Newt Gingrich and crew have dug in their heels and are strongly defending their position</a>.</p>
<p>Damage control was possible about five days ago, but now they’ve lost their chance. There is no turning back. They made the wrong choice. The refused to admit it and join the true base of the movement. And now they’re actually trying to preach to us that more of the same is needed to fix the problems more of the same created.</p>
<p>Bizarre.</p>
<p>All that said, one would think these groups would now keep their mouths shut and try to minimize the damage, right?</p>
<p>Wrong.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28699.html">Politico reported today that the NRCC is actually goinjg to step up their efforts and dump another $300,000 into to media buys for far left candidate Dede Scozzafava</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The National Republican Congressional Committee remains committed to embattled GOP nominee Dede Scozzafava in the upstate New York House special election, even as many of the party’s top names throw their support to Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman.</em></p>
<p>Two party officials tell POLITICO that the NRCC will continue to air TV ads propping up Scozzafava in the days leading up to the Nov. 3 contest and <strong>plans to keep up a near relentless barrage of press releases slamming Hoffman</strong>.</p>
<p>Scozzafava, a state assemblywoman who supports gay marriage, abortion rights and has a close relationship with leading labor officials in her region, has been the target of sustained criticism from conservatives who claim she is too liberal for them to support her candidacy.</p></blockquote>
<p>Not only is the NRCC going to waste donor dollars on a failed candidate with no hope of winning the race, <strong>they’re also going to attack the actual conservative in the race!</strong></p>
<p>At this point, the only logical conclusion is that the NRCC (a huge hub of establishment consultants who leech off of donor money) and the rest of the old guard will arm itself for battle and wage war against the grassroots base rather than give it control.</p>
<p>For those in our movement who are saying “we don’t need to wage war against the machine right now”… wake up. <strong>The machine is waging war against you.</strong></p>
<p>This is a fight the movement has been itching for. In my opinion, we should confront this machine and do so immediately.</p>
<p>Food for thought.</p>

<p>Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me ten times, shame on me.  How many times do the Republicans get to tell us Jeffersonian Constitutionalists that they are for freedom, liberty and completely support The Declaration of Independence and the dovetail Constitution of the United States only to find out that their actions are, in large measure, opposed to their rhetoric?   After the behaviors of the last Republican Congress I am even beginning to wonder what the term RINO really means any more? </p>
<p>When in the last ten decades has any Republican party rolled back the heinous usurpations that started with the ratification of the non-ratified 16<sup>th</sup> Amendment by the lying Secretary of State Philanderer Knox and his boss in crime President Woodrow Wilson?  Not to mention the Constitutional atrocity of The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 that was passed on either Christmas Eve or the day before when President Woodrow Wilson held corruptible Congressmen from Christmas break to fulfill his commitment to the owner bankers of the cartel of twelve privately held huge banks that now make up The Federal Reserve “System”, for the endless campaign funds that they provided for his election, which allowed the tyrants in the U.S. Congress and several Administrations to borrow us into incremental oblivion and all manner of Constitutional contempt ever since.</p>
<p>Benjamin Franklin once said; “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. “   It should be obvious to all of us now that simply electing Republicans is not the answer to our problems.  The answer is in finding a way to ENFORCE THE LAW that we wrote, established and ordained in The Constitution by our individual authority bestowed upon us by our creator.   Especially, but not limited to, <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8">Article 1 Section 8</a> as further supported by the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am9">9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> Amendments </a>in The Bill of Rights.</p>
<p>Is it not clear that, according to THE LAW, the U.S. Government was ‘borrowed’ certain powers by us, from our authority given to us individually by our creator, to ONLY handle these SEVENTEEN ‘enumerated’ powers for the ‘privilege’ of serving us at and for our convenience?  Is it not true that the veracity of this is clearly written in The Declaration of Independence as followed up by the dovetail LAWs as written in The Constitution?  When, may I ask, did any Republican serve to reverse any significant numbers of usurpations of authority enacted through these nearly ten decades of incremental tyranny, which have ultimately resulted in the clear display of despotism we see by our current non-representing Representatives and Administration on TV nightly?</p>
<p>It may be true that Democrats are even worse, but for me, I will never ever vote for a Republican again unless he or she <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">promises</span></strong> to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">completely</span></strong> reverse EVERY SINGLE character of constitutionally contemptuous usurpation in legislation <span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>ever drafted</strong></span>.</p>
<p> If the Federal Government were to obey the law, especially but not limited to, <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8">Article 1 Section 8</a>, can you imagine how, after about five years of the imminent financial hardship which lies before us due to our unsustainable economy based on pieces of almost worthless paper and ink called FEDERAL RESERVE “NOTES” that are worth 100 cents each only in our minds, when in reality they are worth 2 – 3 cents each, crashing,,,  quickly the vast majority of our average common workingmen and women would become relatively wealthy once again in the environment of true liberty and freedom.  The potential of what would happen if the LAW was obeyed by our Federal Government is almost too much for the human mind to comprehend.  Ask yourself, how fast would we individually recover financially if we were free to keep almost everything we earned rather than Government spending it?  Just the thought of all of those Trillions being left in our hands and our economy is utterly mind blowing.</p>
<p>Would any Republican be willing to force compliance with Constitutional Law in full force and <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">effect</span></strong>?  I don&#8217;t think that these liars would.  And this comment is coming from a registered Republican and supporter of 32 years.</p>
<p>BUT NO MORE!  You are either for the complete Constitution WORD FOR WORD, in spirit and intent as it WAS meant when it was ratified or you can FORGET MY VOTE!  PERIOD!  You damn lying traitors!</p>
