		<description><![CDATA[We have a vital and critical mission and little time to achieve it before the total overnight Black Friday Supernova implosion, my patriotic friend.  Every organization seems to agree that we need to get together, but do all “freedom” organizations agree that the Government should be compelled to obey the full force and ‘effect’ of law? – Meaning only handle the SEVENTEEN things allowed by law.  That my friend is the question.  The answer to that, , ,   is the answer to restoration of our individual freedom, liberty and prosperity.  The Constitution is not a menu from which each of us can pick and choose which parts meets or personal or business preferences.  It is an all or nothing document, meant to be that way to avoid that of which we now find ourselves.  I think this question should be the first order of business at the meeting / gathering of our various organizations.]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: Consolas;color: #1f497d">We need to be sure that people are fully grounded in the 28 principles of freedom as written in the book “The 5000 Year Leap”, hopefully before the collapse caused by an overnight global hyper-inflation panic; all of which would have been avoided if our Government would have obeyed the law that we wrote, established and ordained in The Constitution to prevent the tyranny, usurpation and despotism that has placed us in the tenuous economic and political straits, via incrementalism of Constitutional contempt spread over nearly ten decades now, of which we find ourselves in.<span>  </span>The contamination of usurpation now buried deep in the root system of Washington and also now instilled into many American minds of today, as taught in public schools for example, is of such a heinous nature and odious level that a mere election, no matter how sweeping will never resolve the problem alone.<span>  </span>It is ingrained deep within most American minds that our Government “has to” do all the usurped powers that are far beyond the scope allowed by law in the Constitution.<span>  </span>These usurpations have grown to such a level that if you talk with most attorneys on the subject they will admit as much and then go on to say that The Constitution is a “living breathing” document that was “{never intended to be a bedrock of our society and governance because the founding father knew that technology and human needs would change”; they will say.<span>  </span>Poppycock! <span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Consolas;color: navy;font-size: 10pt">How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!</span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="color: #1f497d">The matter is so grave that not even a synapse of the human mind sparks in the comprehension that our Federal Government is bound by law to handle only </span><strong><span style="color: #1f497d;font-size: 14pt">SEVENTEEN</span></strong><span style="color: #1f497d"> <strong>enumerated</strong> items and is expressly forbidden by the 9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> Amendments to do </span><strong><span style="color: #1f497d;font-size: 12pt">ANYTHING else</span></strong><span style="color: #1f497d">.<span>  </span>Further, the average mind cannot comprehend the immenseness of economic and societal human benefit that would result from such ENFORCEMENT of law.<span>  </span>Can you imagine the multi-fold economic benefit of Trillions of dollars “left” in our productive hands and in our economy in lieu of the consumptive parasitic convolutions of the Federal Government.<span>  </span>The advancement of the human condition and society as a whole, especially when combined with our current level of technology, as a result of compelling our Federal Government to obeying the law, word for word in spirit and intent as it WAS meant before the economic draining spin cycle of despotic politicians, is utterly unfathomable.<span>  </span>But the resulting obvious demolishment of 4/5ths of our Federal Government, as WILL happen no matter what </span><span style="color: #1f497d;font-size: 20pt">if</span><span style="color: #1f497d"> we are to restore our freedom, is also quite hard to have a handle on as well.<span>  </span>This is another reason why </span><strong><span style="color: #1f497d;font-size: 14pt">an ordinary election, NO MATTER HOW SWEEPING, will not resolve the problem.</span></strong><span style="color: #1f497d"><span>  </span>The answer to our national dilemma is not Government, it is us.<span>  </span>Government, in its current unconstitutional form, size and mindset is the problem that must be overcome and corrected down to its very roots to restore <strong><em>and SUSTAIN </em></strong>our individual liberty and prosperity. And all of this that must happen and be executed,,,<span>  </span>with the dark ominous clouds of Black Friday building / looming just over the horizon, which will be almost completely hidden from view by the Supernova expanding before our very eyes as the result of trillions on top of trillions of dollars in monopoly money being pumped into our economy, by the Fed, with impunity. This is shear madness, and with this madness is sure to come Obama&#8217;s “<strong>final ultimatum</strong>” to forgo our Constitution in favor of a one world currency, shortly followed by a one world Government, for the sake of stabilizing and maintaining the Matrix like world that exists around us because we have been brainwashed to actually believe that pieces of paper and ink are worth 100 cents, when in reality they are actually worth more like 2 – 3 cents, which will be realized in a period of hyper-inflation yet to come.</span></p>

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

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

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

There's just enough time for you to make one last contact with your Senator.  Please act NOW by clicking here!

Sens. Specter (PA), Collins (ME), and Snowe (ME) are the three key swing Republicans that we should focus on.  Senator Specter said on Fox News that he DIDN'T KNOW the health care provisions that set us on the path to government rationing were in the bill.  He said he would get them out or oppose the bill but THEY ARE STILL IN.  We have to tell him to keep his word.  Info on these dangerous provisions is at NoStimulus.com.

<td style="border: #f0f0f0;padding: 0in"><span>Dear Friend,</span><span>Just moments ago the Pelosi\Reid\Obama trillion dollar spending bill passed in the House of Representatives.  In just a few hours the final vote will be in the Senate.  There&#8217;s just enough time for you to make one last contact with your Senator.  <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/INFXJWCDOV/JRYDJWCKWF/2931926856"><span style="color: #0000ff">Please act NOW by clicking here!</span></a></span><span>The Drudge Report linked to a story this morning where Senator Lautenberg (NJ) predicts that not one senator voting YES has actually read the entire bill.  Not one.  Yet, if we are not able to stop them, 60 Senators are about to waste $1,000,000,000,000 of our tax dollars while taking us deeper into debt. </span><span>Yesterday, we delivered your <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/INFXJWCDOV/BNKDJWCKWG/2931926856"><span style="color: #0000ff">NoStimulus.com</span></a> petitions to Congress &#8212; at the time 426,000 of them and now as I write this at 453,322.  </span></p>
<p><span>NBC, CNN, FOX News and many other media outlets were on hand and they were stunned.  Congressman Tom Price (GA) an emerging free market leader in Congress was there with a number of members of the House of Representatives.  <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/INFXJWCDOV/OLGLJWCKWH/2931926856"><span style="color: #0000ff">Click here for coverage.</span></a></span></p>
<p><span>Congressman Price told me they&#8217;ve felt for days now the energy and momentum generated by you against this terrible legislation.  His last message to you, &#8220;Tell them not to give up and to keep up the pressure.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span>Last night, we had the largest tele-town hall meeting we&#8217;ve ever had at Americans for Prosperity.  The final number of folks joining Congressman Eric Cantor (Republican Whip in the House) and Steve Moore (editorial page writer at the Wall Street Journal) was just over 12,000! Congressman Cantor thanked you for your dedicated efforts and he briefed us on the latest outrage to come to light from the legislation.</span></p>
<p><span>The final legislation practically guts the historic welfare reforms of 1996.  The final Pelosi\Reid\Obama bill</span></p>
<p><span>* spends $264 billion on direct welfare payments in first 2 years, and:</span></p>
<p><span>*goes back to the old welfare rules that actually pay states bonuses to increase their welfare roles. </span></p>
<p><span>Think about it, if this bill passes we go back to the old wasteful, soul-killing, family destroying welfare system that it took us decades to end.  Robert Rector dissects the entire thing in his insightful study on Heritage.org. </span></p>
<p><span>Sens. Specter (PA), Collins (ME), and Snowe (ME) are the three key swing Republicans that we should focus on.  Senator Specter said on Fox News that he DIDN&#8217;T KNOW the health care provisions that set us on the path to government rationing were in the bill.  He said he would get them out or oppose the bill but THEY ARE STILL IN.  We have to tell him to keep his word.  Info on these dangerous provisions is at <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/INFXJWCDOV/ADUNJWCKWI/2931926856"><span style="color: #0000ff">NoStimulus.com</span></a>. </span></p>
<p><span>Sen. Collins said over and over again that she would not accept increases in the spending levels from her &#8220;compromise&#8221; deal reached early this week, especially in the area of state aid for school construction which is a dangerous expansion in the federal role in education and a bailout for states and cities that need to get their fiscal houses in order.  MOST OF THE &#8220;CUTS&#8221; SHE WANTED WERE REVERSED.  She said her spending levels would have to hold and they didn&#8217;t.  Instead the Democrats slashed the only real tax relief in the bill for most middle class families.  We need to tell Senator Collins that they stripped any supposed savings from her &#8220;compromise&#8221; bill and she should vote NO.</span></p>
<p><span>There are also dozens of nervous Democratic senators out there who need to hear and feel that the grassroots fire is still there &#8212; that we didn&#8217;t fall for the line that that legislation was improved.  That we know that borrowing and spending a trillion dollars can&#8217;t make us wealthier as a country. </span></p>
<p><span>Despite what the pundits say this bill is vulnerable.  If we can convince any ONE senator this whole thing could unravel, dealing the entire Big Government agenda a stunning setback.</span></p>
<p><span>Thanks for all you are doing and have done.  We&#8217;ve made a powerful impact on this crucial public policy battle because you have shown that literally hundreds-of-thousands of Americans from all 50 states and from all walks of life are willing to stand up for our economic freedoms. </span></p>
<p><span>Let&#8217;s keep it going. <a href="http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/INFXJWCDOV/CLOQJWCKWJ/2931926856"><span style="color: #0000ff">Please act NOW by clicking here!</span></a></span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it important for us to go to this AFP Wisconsin Summit?  At this meeting you will see HUNDREDS of people from all over Wisconsin who are willing to FIGHT and I mean FIGHT for freedom and, thereby, economic prosperity for each of us individually.  Last year, my son Jason met me there so you can ask him as well, there were about 500 people from all over Wisconsin. 

 

In the hallways, conference rooms and lounges were people from all walks of life, from welders and grocery baggers to business and corporate executives, who were there in defense freedom and to improve the economy and our opportunity to turn a buck, to make a living and to improve our lot in life by way of getting Government and taxation out of our way.  As I walked past these Wisconsin AFP members I heard their conversations, it almost made me cry.  They sounded just like Thomas Jeffersons well versed in the true meaning and considerable remuneration of freedom and its momentous beneficial impact on our economy and our individual financial opportunities.

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama has halted all new leases for offshore drilling and oil shale exploration in Western states. The Department of the Interior was poised to begin the lengthy process of issuing 31 new federal leases for energy development. Obama’s actions reflect his view that America should not pursue all available forms of energy to escape from our dependence on foreign oil, but instead, that we should only increase our use of boutique energy sources that are pre-approved by liberal environmental extremists.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #000000">The Obama Administration is working hard to impliment necessary U.S. Government actions that will raise the cost of gasoline back to over $4.00 per gallon and to dramatically raise the cost for heating and electrical bills for home owners and rental properties.  The Obama Administration&#8217;s actions have had an immediate impact on the cost of a barrel of oil over the last week by nearly $10.00 per barrel.  </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000000"> </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000000">The administrations effectiveness to raise the living costs on the average American just trying to keep his or her home and their jobs is very impressive.   </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000000"> </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000000">The Liberty Tree Lantern is amazed with regards to Obama&#8217;s ability and detirmination to harm the remaining wealth of individual American people who are trying to just survive in the economic climate that the U.S. Congress has caused by mulititudes of scofflaw activities and unconstitutional legislation over the last 9 decades.</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000"> </span></p>
<div><span><span><span style="font-size: small;color: #000000">The Liberty Tree Lantern would advise our readers that you keep informed on the Obama Administration activities to increase your cost of living.  If it bothers you that your gasoline cost is going to go back to where it was, you might want to consider letting your Congressman and the President know that you do not want them holding back the leases necessary to produce our own energy so that we can afford to live, heat our homes and have enough left over to pay for our mortgages.</span></span></span></div>

<div><em><span style="color: #000000">- Victory for Domestic Energy Production Imperiled by Environmental Extremism -</span></em></div>
<p><span style="color: #000000">President Obama has halted all new leases for offshore drilling and oil shale exploration in Western states. The Department of the Interior was poised to begin the lengthy process of issuing 31 new federal leases for energy development. Obama’s actions reflect his view that America should not pursue all available forms of energy to escape from our dependence on foreign oil, but instead, that we should only increase our use of boutique energy sources that are pre-approved by liberal environmental extremists.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000">Americans for Prosperity urges the new administration not to use the cover of recession-impacted oil prices as a veil to re-impose a ban on new production. America must harness its domestic supplies of energy, in all forms, to ensure that an out-of-control price spiral, like the one we witnessed this past summer, does not happen again.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000">America scored a major victory along the way to energy independence and increased domestic production last fall. In the face of soaring gas prices and a torrent of money flowing to foreign energy producers, both Congress and President Bush allowed their respective bans on offshore drilling and oil shale exploration to expire. Both of these decisions were made in response to a massive display of citizen outrage at the federal government’s complicity in an extremist environmental agenda.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000">We took a small but important step last fall; Obama would do well not to undo it.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[I am sad that The Milwaukee Brewers would let them get away with the attempt to destroy our way of life.  I bet the Green Bay Packers would at least let us have our “Hot Air Tour” balloon in Green Bay if not have the fortitude to directly support our cause.  After all, it costs a lot of money to heat our homes up north and they care about their fans and shareholders.  And the Green Bay Packers are “America’s Team”.  They believe in freedom and prosperity for America.

<div><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana">The Liberty Tree Lantern is very sorry to hear that The Milwaukee Brewers decided to provide the permit and authorized it several months ago and then less than a week from the game they decide that it &#8220;Wasn&#8217;t Politically Correct&#8221;.  It is very disturbing to people who stand for FREEDOM and TRUTH to hear that their professional baseball team would prevent public awareness of the truth behind the sham of &#8220;Global Warming&#8221; which is a major factor in the downfall of our economy and the price of energy and sustenance to skyrocket, which probably results in fewer Brewer ticket sales because people just don&#8217;t have the money to pay for gasoline and a baseball ticket anymore.</span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana">I suppose The Brewers gave in to some environmental extremist wackos who are hell bent on destroying the quality of our lives, our freedom and the attempt to force us through financial hardship, caused by high energy costs, to live in small apartment complexes in the city so that our “carbon footprint” is lessened; when, in fact, over 31,000 American Scientists <a href="http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2008/06/19/people-in-local-communities-will-not-be-able-to-afford-gasoline-or-energy/"><span style="color: #800080">http://captkarl.blogivists.com/2008/06/19/people-in-local-communities-will-not-be-able-to-afford-gasoline-or-energy/</span></a> have signed a petition to the United States Government that carbon dioxide produced by mankind does not drive “Global Warming” or “Climate Change”.</span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana"> </span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana">I am sad that The Milwaukee Brewers would let them get away with the attempt to destroy our way of life <span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family: Verdana">by halting our efforts to inform the public about the facts of the facade of “Global Warming”</span>.<span>  </span></span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana">I bet the Green Bay Packers would at least let us have our “Hot Air Tour” balloon in Green Bay if not have the fortitude to directly support our cause.<span>  </span>After all, it costs a lot of money to heat our homes up north and they care about their fans and shareholders.<span>  </span>And the Green Bay Packers are “America’s Team”.<span>  </span>They believe in freedom and understand that it brings prosperity for America, lower gasoline prices and there by, sells a lot more tickets to the game!</span></span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #000000;font-family: Verdana">The only way we are going to save our way of life and freedom from the scourge of the enviromentalist wackos and the power hungry tyrants in the U.S. Congress is for <strong><span style="color: #0000ff">all of us</span></strong> to huddle up <span style="color: #ffff00"><strong>as a team</strong></span> and be a <span style="color: #00ff00"><strong>whole team of Reggie Whites</strong></span> to have the courage to tackle the problem of the power hungry who seek to beguile us into the chains and bondage of socialism through the manipulation of our minds as to the sham of &#8220;Global Warming&#8221;.</span></span></span></div>
