November 18th, 2008, Fairfax, VA –In a letter sent to top Congressional leadership today, ALG president Bill Wilson strongly urged Congress to reject the controversial taxpayer bailout for the U.S. automotive industry, specifically citing “union excesses” as a primary cause of the automotive collapse.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Republican Leader John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and President-Elect Barack Obama all received the letter regarding the potential bailout which Wilson has condemned as “a betrayal of the American taxpayer.”

America needs more and better sources of energy. That’s not up for discussion. But what a firestorm has erupted over what those sources should be!

Despite public opinion (e.g. with prices down, support for offshore drilling remains high—at 68%), America’s energy solutions continue to be dictated and repressed by Hard Left environmentalist groups—and they are increasingly turning to the courts to enforce their liberal, anti-energy agenda.

The whole reason the industry is failing is because of the obscene union contracts and legacy costs that inflate the cost of the vehicles, making them uncompetitive compared to foreign competition. Just simply doing business outside of Michigan could make the cars more affordable for consumers. Certainly scaling back is in order. All of the above can be addressed with a bankruptcy, and those arguing against bankruptcy are simply shills for Big Labor.

To answer the question, a sustainable auto industry will be one that is not so hampered by the cost of labor. It will be one that does not overproduce. It will be one that is profitable.

And it will be one that is not dependent upon federal welfare to stay afloat.

On October 31st we announced our intention to publish an Open Letter to President-Elect Obama. In effect, the letter would be a Petition for Redress of a violation of the natural born citizen clause of the Constitution (Article II, Section 1). As we have previously detailed, there is a growing body of evidence establishing that Barack Obama may not be a “natural born” U.S. citizen as is required to hold the office of President.

We all need a major refresher course in freedom. Read all the posts in this blog for such information. You can start with this FREEDOM 101 video:

We chose Justice Antonin Scalia. Last Thursday, October 23rd, we submitted our application to him by overnight Express Mail.

We are pleased to announce that Justice Scalia has distributed our application to the full Court, which will decide the matter at a conference on November 14, 2008. Click here for the SCOTUS docket sheet. At that time the Supreme Court could either issue a restraining order against the Government or deny our application. The restraining order would stop the transfer of public funds pending an expedited determination of the Government’s authority to use public funds in aid of decidedly private undertakings. If the application is denied, the full $700 billion money could be spent while the main case proceeds, eventually determining the underlying question of the Government’s authority to use public funds in aid of private undertakings.

On October 24, 2008, a federal judge granted your request to dismiss a lawsuit by Citizen Philip Berg, who challenged your qualifications under the “Natural Born Citizen” clause of the U.S. Constitution to legally hold the office of President of the United States of America.

Mr. Berg presented factual evidence to the Court in support of his claim that you are either a citizen of your father’s native Kenya by birth, or that you became a citizen of Indonesia, relinquishing your prior citizenship when you moved there with your mother in 1967.

But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34.

Obama’s affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles.

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully,” the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” “The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

The Liberty Tree Lantern advises that to see the light of truth you need to gather all the information you need to fully understand what is happening here with our financial crisis, economy, job losses, income degradation and all the other aspects of “daily life” that is impacting you and your family. IT IS VITAL, for you to see and understand the patterns of all these matters.

This ol’Capt. Karl is going to bring you directly to the bottom line and you need to take the ball and research everything you can to PROVE ME WRONG. I have been trying for almost two years to disprove all the things I have found out. Without getting into all of it, most covered in previous posts, let me tell you once again. THE FEDERAL RESERVE “SYSTEM” is the largest privately held company in the world. They are owned by 40 individuals mostly of foreign origin, mostly British. They formed a “private” club of the most powerful men of corporations, banks, and main stream news media in the world. This private club is called The Trilateral Commission.

Murtha Calls Pennsylvanians Constituents “Rednecks” and “Racists”

House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi’s endorsement of Rep. John Murtha for majority leader, the No. 2 position in the Democratic leadership, has roiled her caucus. “She will ensure that they [Mr. Murtha and his allies] win. This is hardball politics,” Rep. Jim Moran, a top Murtha ally, told the Hill, a congressional newspaper. “We are entering an era where when the speaker instructs you what to do, you do it.”

But several members are privately aghast that Mr. Murtha, a pork-barreling opponent of most House ethics reforms, could become the second most visible symbol of the new Democratic rule. “We are supposed to change business as usual, not put the fox in charge of the henhouse,” one Democratic member told me. “It’s not just the Abscam scandal of the 1980s that he barely dodged, he’s a disaster waiting to happen because of his current behavior,” another told me.

Okay, folks, if your own Congressman, like Representative John Murtha, calls you a “Redneck” and a “Racist” don’t ya think that he holds his constituents in utter contempt?
