<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>

<p align="left">After a week of intense committee deliberations, sometimes extending well into the early morning hours, the first formal resolutions of Continental Congress 2009 have begun to emerge.  On Tuesday, the Congress adopted resolutions aimed to ending the federal income tax fraud and terminating all state and federal firearms regulations as <em>de facto</em> violations of the plain language of the Second<br />
Amendment.</p>

<p>The Income Tax Instruction to the United States Congress adopted by the Continental Congress cites several essential facts in U.S. law, including irrefutable documentation establishing that the 16<sup>th</sup> Amendment is void, <em>ab initio</em>, due to its failure to be properly ratified, and that any direct, un-apportioned tax on the labor of any American is wholly unconstitutional.  The resolution cites the U.S. Supreme Court holding that labor (and the fruits thereof) are, “…the most sacred and inviolable” property of the citizens of the nation.  (Citing <em>Butcher’s Union Co. v. Crescent City Co</em>., 111 U.S. 746, 757)   </p>
<p>The tax resolution also calls for Congress to execute the immediate cessation of the (unlawful) imposition of the practice of withholding of earnings from the paychecks of American citizens and for the Congress to immediately release and restore all citizens wrongfully imprisoned as a result of the “unconstitutional application of the income tax” (laws). </p>
<p>The Civic Actions recommended by the Congress for the People to end the Income Tax fraud include for the People to contact their local sheriff and demand cooperation with the citizenry to provide protection from (unlawful) federal and state tax enforcement actions (including fraudulent, non-judicial “administrative” IRS liens and levys), that citizens prepare to replace or otherwise recall or impeach any sheriff who refuses to protect their local citizens from “…rogue federal agents acting under color of law,” and for citizens to prepare themselves to withhold their monies as a means to secure Redress. </p>
<p>As to the Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the resolution of the Continental Congress declares that all regulations, state and federal, which are repugnant to the express language of the Second Amendment are “…null and void – including but not limited to, illegal and unconstitutional restrictions on open and/or concealed carry.” </p>
<p>The arms resolution calls for the citizenry to coordinate with their local county Sheriff in establishing a Constitutional Militia, inherently separate from the state National Guard.  Such militia would be a constitutional defense force, “comprising all citizenry capable of bearing arms and under proper authority, in defense of themselves and the states.” </p>
<p>Official copies of these resolutions and others will be released shortly for public inspection and distribution.  Committee and sub-committee work on “Remedial Instructions” for state and federal officials will by decree, end at midnight Wednesday (Nov. 18). </p>
<p>Starting tomorrow (Thursday) , the Congress begins two and a half days of intense deliberations, turning their sole attention to debating and adopting a comprehensive set of potent “Civic Actions” every American can implement, <em>en masse</em>, to effect a peaceful restoration of Constitutional Order.</p>
<p>These lawful, (non-violent) civic actions, (fully lawful and protected by the Right to <em>enforce</em> the First Amendment Right to Petition), will be designed to significantly affect the functioning of both state and federal institutions which have been complicit in enabling or otherwise aiding or allowing the destruction of the Constitution and/or the Fundamental Rights of the People.</p>
<p>On Saturday afternoon, the agenda plans for the Delegates set to move to adopt the full package consisting of First Amendment Petitions for Redress of Grievances, “Remedial Instructions” to be served upon state and federal officials, and the slate of “Civic Actions” designed for everyday Americans to implement to resist the tyrants and engage in the battle to restore Liberty. </p>
<p>The final package generated by the Congress will be formally known as the “Articles of Association” and signed (Saturday afternoon) by the Delegates of Continental Congress 2009.  Means are currently being developed for citizens everywhere across America to likewise sign the Articles of Association and join the battle to hold our government accountable to the Law.</p>
<p>The current intent for the Articles of Association is that when “x” million (tbd) Americans publicly commit to personally embrace and execute at least some portion of the (peaceful) plan of Civic resistance, the plan of “Civic Actions” will be fully activated and its full effects soon manifest against our errant institutions of government. More details will be announced following the conclusion of the CC2009 assembly on November 21.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In a letter to the House Financial Services Committee earlier this month, all eight wrote that they support the type of amendment now being introduced by Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.). Watt's approach purports to increase Fed transparency while it actually would tighten restrictions on any audits that could go forward.

The letter was sent around Wednesday by Watt's staff to members of the committee in advance of a vote scheduled for Thursday.

Watt's measure is in competition with an amendment cosponsored by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), which would repeal the restrictions that Watt leaves in place.

But far from a broad cross-section, the "prominent economists" lobbying on behalf of the Watt bill are in fact deeply involved with the Federal Reserve. Seven of the eight are either currently on the Fed's payroll or have been in the past.

<p>As the debate over an audit of the Federal Reserve intensifies in the House, one camp is <a href="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/EconomistsLetter.pdf">trotting out eight academics </a>that it calls a &#8220;political cross section of prominent economists.&#8221;</p>
<p>A review of their backgrounds shows they are anything but.</p>
<p>In a letter to the House Financial Services Committee earlier this month, all eight wrote that they support the type of amendment<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/17/audit-the-fed-effort-unde_n_361389.html"> now being introduced </a>by Rep.

<p><!-- Subscribe user -->The letter was sent around Wednesday by Watt&#8217;s staff to members of the committee in advance of a vote scheduled for Thursday.</p>
<p>Watt&#8217;s measure is in competition with an amendment cosponsored by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), which would repeal the restrictions that Watt leaves in place.</p>
<p>But far from a broad cross-section, the &#8220;prominent economists&#8221; lobbying on behalf of the Watt bill are in fact deeply involved with the Federal Reserve. Seven of the eight are either currently on the Fed&#8217;s payroll or have been in the past.</p>
<p>The Fed connections are not outlined in the letter sent around to committee members on Wednesday, but are publicly discernible through a review of their resumes, which are all posted online.</p>
<p>In September, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/07/priceless-how-the-federal_n_278805.html">Huffington Post reported</a> that the Federal Reserve has accomplished a soft form of effective control over the field of monetary economics simply by employing &#8212; and being the means for career advance &#8212; for an overwhelming proportion of the discipline.</p>
<p>Now that the Fed is locked in a legislative battle on the Hill, it can call on those economists to give their &#8220;unvarnished&#8221; opinions to lawmakers.</p>
<p>The connections that the seven economists lobbying Congress have to the Fed are not incidental and four of them maintain current positions.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s run the traps:</p>
<p>Frederic Mishkin is a former board member, having served from 2006-2008. His career at the Fed stretches back to 1977 and he currently holds two positions: one as a member of the Center for Latin American Economics at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, where he&#8217;s been since 1996; and another as an academic consultant to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where he&#8217;s been since 1997.</p>
<p>Anil K. Kashyap is currently a consultant with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, a position he&#8217;s held since 1991. He&#8217;s also on the economic advisory panel of the New York branch and was a consultant there in 2003. He was a visiting scholar at the division of monetary affairs at the Board of Governors of in1994, 2001 and 2005 and at the division of international finance in 1997.</p>
<p>Pete Klenow was a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 1994-1999, 2003-2004, 2006 and again this year. From 2000-2003 he was also a senior economist at that branch. He&#8217;s currently a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, a position he&#8217;s held since 2005. He was a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City from 2004-2006.</p>
<p>Ricardo J. Caballero was a visiting scholar at Federal Reserve Bank of Boston from 2004-2005 and a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Board on multiple occasions.</p>
<p>Robert Hall was a research assistant at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 1982-1984 and an economist there from 1988-1991.</p>
<p>Thomas Sargent was an adviser to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 1981 to 1987 and continues to write frequently for Fed-sponsored journals.</p>
<p>Micheal Woodford is currently on the Monetary Policy Advisory Committee of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a position he&#8217;s held since 2004. He&#8217;s also listed as a consultant to the research department there dating back to 2005. In the past, he&#8217;s been a visiting scholar at the Board of Governors and various regional branches in 1987, 1993-1998 and 2000-present, often at multiple banks in the same year.</p>
<p>Economists with Fed connections strongly reject the notion that being paid by the bank influences their thinking. But Robert Auerbach, who spent years investigating the institution and is the author of <a href="http://www.utexas.edu/utpress/books/auedec.html">&#8220;Deception and Abuse at the Fed&#8221;</a>, says that those economists are simply in denial. &#8220;If you&#8217;re on the Fed payroll there&#8217;s a conflict of interest,&#8221; says Auerbach.</p>
<p>The tie between the economists backing Watt&#8217;s amendment and the Fed doesn&#8217;t by itself mean that it&#8217;s bad policy, but it does make clear which amendment is favored by the Federal Reserve. If there&#8217;s still any doubt, the e-mail from Watt staff notes that former Fed chairs Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker also support a version of it.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a broad coalition of liberal organizations is lining up behind the Paul-Grayson amendment, which also has the backing of most Republicans on the committee.</p>
<p>The AFL-CIO and other labor groups, as well as Americans for Financial Reform <a href="http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/FedAuditLetter.pdf">signed on to a letter </a>posted Wednesday calling for committee members to back the Paul-Grayson approach.</p>
<p>&#8220;In creating the Federal Reserve nearly 100 years ago, the Congress envisioned a central bank free from political pressure. But the structure that may have once ensured independence now appears to put the Fed much closer to the financial industry than the American people, who deserve to know who the beneficiaries are,&#8221; reads the letter.</p>
<p>The Fed, in other words, is not presently independent of political pressure, but that pressure comes from Wall Street banks rather than from the American people through their elected representatives.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a distinction that the note from Watt&#8217;s staff on Wednesday subtly acknowledges, by focusing on legislative and executive branch pressure, rather than financial industry influence. The Paul-Grayson amendment, it warns, &#8220;would place the United States well outside of the mainstream of industrialized nations that shield their central banks from political interference by the Legislative and Executive branches of government, with potentially disastrous results to the U.S. economy.&#8221;</p>

<h3><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Commentary from The Liberty Tree Lantern:</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">C</span><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="color: #0000ff">apt. Karl</span> is scratching his head on one part of this article.  The President of the AFL-CIO is a member of the private and exclusive club of megalomaniacs, founded by The Federal Reserve “System” called </span><a href="http://www.trilateral.org/"><span style="color: #0000ff">The Trilateral Commission</span></a><span style="color: #0000ff">.  According to their own website their primary directive is to create a One World Government / New World Order.  Such a One World Government would be at the end of the puppet strings of The Federal Reserve cartel of twelve privately owned banks, who created The Trilateral Commission in the first place.  So why is the AFL-CIO bucking the Watt Amendment?  Any comments or info on this readers?   This doesn’t fit any form of logic.  Additionally, as many people know from the 1984 Grace Commission Report, the US Government doesn’t get any income taxes from the American People.  After transfer payments to various Socialist programs, like Social Security and Medicare for example, all income taxes go DIRECTLY to The Federal Reserve “System” for payment on the “Public Debt”.  So EVERY SINGLE PENNY that the US Government spends comes from and is borrowed from The Federal Reserve.  So every single Government program, except a couple of transfer programs, comes from the bottomless money pit at the Federal Reserve, who are the programmers of “The MATRIX” which is our economy based on little pieces of green paper printed out of thin air called FEDERAL RESERVE “NOTES” that our minds have programmed in public schools, the main stream media, The Federal Reserve, and The US Government, to believe are worth 100 cents apiece when in the ‘real’ world, outside of “The MATRIX” which only exists in our minds, they are really only worth 2 – 3 cents now after TARP, Bank and Corporate Bailouts, Stimulus and Socialist spending programs and various Government sanctioned “Ponzi” schemes.  Before this recent accelerated monetary policy programs the Dollar has been worth only 4 cents apiece for decades, even though in our minds we believed that they were worth 100 cents as we have been programmed to believe.  Of course much of the world today is starting to revalue the Dollar to its ‘real’ value of 2 – 3 cents, which will result in “hyperinflation” and, thereby, the total collapse of ‘The MATRIX’ (our economy) that has only existed in our minds for many decades, since fractionalized banking started chipping away from the gold standard and until it completely was eliminated by the US Government, anyway.   The AFL-CIO greatly believes in Socialism and Democracy which is defined as 50% plus one steals the individual rights, liberty, earnings and property, by popular vote and &#8220;mob rule&#8221;  from the remaining population so that by definition “Democracy” is the purest form of Socialism and/or Communism.  The Constitution, in contrast, &#8220;guarantees&#8221; a Republican form of government in<a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A4Sec4"> Article 4 Section 4</a>, so as to protect everybody&#8217;s individual unalienable rights, earnings and property from the immoral that would rob and steal and from the mob rule of &#8220;The Masses&#8221;, as Stalin would advocate. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">The AFL-CIO believes in “free stuff” Socialist type programs from the US Government, who gets every single nickel from The FED that they spend.  So the question becomes; Why is the AFL-CIO biting the hand that &#8220;ultimately&#8221; feeds them from a bottomless pit of printed out of thin air money and whose President is a major member of the Trilateral Commission?  Are they coming to the side of Jeffersonian Constitutionalists now?  And, what about this &#8220;broad coalition of liberal organizations that are lining up behind the Paul-Grayson amendment?  Don&#8217;t they understand that ALL GOVERNMENT MONEY comes from THE FEDERAL RESERVE and NOT from income taxes?  Haven&#8217;t they read the Grace Commission Report?  Without THE FED Socialism and Government &#8220;free stuff&#8221; couldn&#8217;t exist.  I don’t get it?  </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">Anybody please comment.  If you don&#8217;t see a comment box below, just click on the title of this post and one will be produced below for you.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin-bottom: 8px">November 16, 2009 02:32 PM EST (Updated: November 16, 2009 02:33 PM EST)</div>
<div>
<p>Norm Olson founded the Michigan Militia in 1994 in response to then-President William Clinton&#8217;s perceived tightening on gun control laws. Today, the Michigan Militia is still thriving, perhaps even more so than in its past due to the current economic struggles.  This past weekend, a function was help at Franks Stansa&#8217;s farm near Flint, MI in order to popularize their message and group.  The function came with a barbeque, carnival-like events, and a rifle firing range, and admitted children for free.  The conversation revolved around the tough state of affairs in America, with nearly all attendees railing against the government and the direction it is headed in.</p>
<p>Olson was a former Air Force who founded the Michigan Militia in the aftermath of the Ruby Ridge, Idaho and Waco, Texas standoffs between the federal government and individuals who had very opposing viewpoints than the government.  The trend in increased militia activities stopped in the early 2000&#8217;s, when a more conservative and gun-right friendly Bush administration took office.</p>
<p>However, since the Obama administration has taken office there have been about 100 new militias that have formed under the pretense of gun rights and protection of American ideals.  One such newly formed militia is Olson&#8217;s attempt to create an Alaska Militia.  He held an organizational meeting on Thursday the 12th in Nikiski, AK where he pressed upon the attendees the idea that a militia musted be formed and readied for action imediately.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><em>America</em><em>;  The above report is from another media source.  While the facts about Militias, of Constitutional &#8220;Rule of Law&#8221; concerned Americans, are  springing up all across America is true, this attempt to mislead Americans about them being primarily concerned about President Obama is ludicrous in the extreme.  The Americans in these Militias are concerned about the decades of Constitutional contempt that has incrementally chipped away at The Constitution itself and the destruction of our unalienable Rights over the last 100 years, mostly by Congress.</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff">The Militias, as far as The Liberty Tree Lantern can ascertain, only see President Obama as an accelerator, a catalyst, of what several Congresses, Administrations and Judicial Activist Judges on the Supreme Court have done as scofflaws and treasonous enemies of The Constitution and the Rule of LAW therein.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff">In a near future post The Liberty Tree Lantern will provide a document that lists the Constitutional infractions to the Law that has been perpetrated by one or more of the three branches of Government over the last ten decades.  Stay posted for this vital report, which is being utilized to draft ‘combo’ State Sovereignty /  Health Care Right of Choice Amendments to the Constitutions of several States in the Union, including an Amendment to The Constitution of the State of Wisconsin, which Wisconsinites are working to have placed in a referendum during the next election.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">In the meantime don&#8217;t let the main stream media convince you that the rise in Militias is primarily about Obama;  It is primarily about ten decades of tyranny and usurpation that has now formented into absolute despotism whereby the &#8220;public&#8221; school Government sponsored system, doesn&#8217;t even teach the meaning of freedom or the canons of The Declaration of Independence or The Constitution of the United (but Constitutionally independent and sovereign) States (Countries) of America.  Additionally, if that isn&#8217;t enough on its own face, as it is destroying our unalienable rights endowed to us by our creator, these usurpations have gotten so heinous that it almost led to the ENTIRE COLLAPSE of the American economy in the last quarter of 2008; which will entirely collapse somewhere between  1  1/2  &#8211; 2  1/2 years from today.  By enforcement of the RULE OF LAW, as written word for word, in spirit and intent, as it WAS meant by the Founding Fathers on the day The Constitution was ratified, especially, but not limited to,  the &#8216;enumerated&#8217; powers clauses in <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8">Article 1 Section 8 </a>as further supported in LAW by The Bill of Rights in The <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am9">9th and 10th Amendments </a>to The Constitution, we will be able to restore our rights, liberty, freedom and rebuild our economy based on the tenets in The Constitution and, thereby, the vast majority of average American citizens will, once again, become wealthy (and with real money in the form of gold and other bi-metal coins per Article 1 Section 8 of The LAW written, established and ordained in The Constitution).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff">  In addition, the fact that the &#8220;non-ratified&#8221; ratification of the 16th Amendment which turns on gains and profits and not the equal exchange of property as in payment in exchange for labor in employment is yet another issue amongst many.  And thus if you exchange the value of your labor for an equal exchange of property in the form of compensation, there is NO INCOME.  So, according to The Supreme Court, since there is NO INCOME, there is no requirement to file for income taxes.  That is the reason why the entire book of the Internal Revenue Service Code DOES NOT define the word &#8220;Income&#8221; because than the sham would be exposed in court almost instantly.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #0000ff">Do you even realize that according to The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution that States are separate countries?  The States are independent and sovereign countries that have formed a &#8220;Union&#8221; to support and carry trade with each other.  If you do not know and understand this, then you must read and deliberate about the clauses in <a href="http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm">The Declaration </a>and <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Preamble">The Constitution</a>.  And after you learn about these things you need to ask yourself;  &#8220;<span style="color: #800000">How come I wasn&#8217;t taught about these facts in High School?&#8221; And, You need to ask yourself; <span style="color: #ff0000">&#8220;How come the main stream media doesn&#8217;t convey these facts when they report on national matters involving the independent and sovereign States (separate Countries that make up The Union)?</span></span></span></em></p>
<h4><span style="color: #0000ff"><span style="color: #800000"><span style="color: #ff0000">We all need to be asking ourselves and our Government a LOT of &#8220;Why&#8221; questions!</span></span></span></h4>

			<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><em><a href="http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=3271">Ron Paul&#8217;s &#8216;End the Fed&#8217;: What we need to do to fix America&#8217;s economic policy for future generations</a></em></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>
<p><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=108262">WND previously reported that the Fed,</a> despite being ordered to disclose to whom it awarded some $2 trillion in discount &#8220;stimulus&#8221; <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=114624" target="_top">loans</a>, continues its fight for secrecy.</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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Continental Congress Coordinators, Team Members, Volunteers, Supporters,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please circulate this message to your contacts in Wisconsin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The final (as of October 26th) Wisconsin delegation for Continental Congress 2009 is, in order of number of votes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Richard Church</li>
<li>Rudy Eckert</li>
<li>Michael Staudacher</li>
<li>Brent Arnold (Alternate)</li>
</ul>
<p>Other candidates that may have received more votes have since dropped out of consideration.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Richard Church, as the leader of the delegation, has asked that the  people of Wisconsin use a website ( <a href="http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com/">http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com</a> ) he set up to submit suggestions, resolutions and comments to the delegation.  Here is how it works, in Richard&#8217;s words:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It allows people to make suggestions and to vote on the suggestions of others. Users can remain anonymous, or they can sign up for an account. The way it works is that you get 10 votes which you can distribute however you want among the suggestions. You can give a suggestion more than one vote if you feel very strongly about it. The more people that vote, the better picture we get of what the major priorities should be. The short address is: <a href="http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com/">http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please feel free to also contact the delegates directly.  The contact information is located on the Wisconsin webpage at <a href="http://givemeliberty.org/user/congress/Region.aspx?state=wi">http://givemeliberty.org/user/congress/Region.aspx?state=wi</a> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Continental Congress will have credibility in direct proportion to the support of the people.  It is up to you and me to restore our Constitutional Republic and reasert our unalienable rights.  The Constitution cannot defend itself.  The time to participate is now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please also consider giving a donation to fund the Continental Congress at:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cc2009.us/donate">http://www.cc2009.us/donate</a>  This web page has a chart of how the funds will be used.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With liberty for all,</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Wisconsin State Coordinator</p>
