We, as the people of Wisconsin, have to get more involved.  Join freedom and liberty organizations today.  There are over fifty of them across our State.  That is unless you want to keep on paying more and more and more in all manner of fees and taxes until you have no money left at all.

At an assembly of WI freedom and liberty groups that convened over the last weekend in Oconomowoc at the Olympia Resort, we have plans to simply walk into both Democratic and Republican party meetings and take them over.  Come join in on the effort and the fun.  Let’s make Wisconsin free, sovereign and prosperous again through the application of liberty and LOW taxes.  We Wisconsin independent patriot groups are doing something about it.  Come join us, people!  Seek out a group near you so that We The People can straighten out the State of Wisconsin Government and afford to live here.

Very truly yours in FREEDOM,

Capt. Karl

The following Report is from The honorable Assemblyman John Nygren of the 89th District:

New Digital Download Tax 

On October 1, Wisconsin began taxing downloads from the internet for the first time in state history.  This 5 percent sales tax does not include local or stadium taxes.  This tax is estimated to take $11 million from individual’s wallets and put it in the hands of government.  It was passed in the budget repair bill February of this year. 

Wisconsin is one of less than half of the states in the nation that have a digital download tax.  Some states even ban digital downloads from taxation altogether.  Read more about Wisconsin’s tax climate in the October 1 edition of Nygren’s Notes.

Companies offering downloads online will be required to collect this tax and remit it to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.  To read more about this tax use this link to the Department’s Digital Goods publication.

This tax is part of the $4.5 billion in tax and fee increases passed by the Democrats this year and will feed the over 6 percent increase in government spending passed this year as well. 

Isn’t that special?

Please circulate this message to your contacts in Wisconsin.

The final (as of October 26th) Wisconsin delegation for Continental Congress 2009 is, in order of number of votes:

• Richard Church
• Rudy Eckert
• Michael Staudacher
• Brent Arnold (Alternate)

Other candidates that may have received more votes have since dropped out of consideration.

Richard Church, as the leader of the delegation, has asked that the  people of Wisconsin use a website ( http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com ) he set up to submit suggestions, resolutions and comments to the delegation.  Here is how it works, in Richard’s words:

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: http://cc2009wi.uservoice.com

Please feel free to also contact the delegates directly.  The contact information is located on the Wisconsin webpage at http://givemeliberty.org/user/congress/Region.aspx?state=wi 

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.

Please also consider giving a donation to fund the Continental Congress at:

 I believe this NEW Continental Congress is the best way to retrieve and restore our individual God given Constitutional rights, powers and authorities, which have been usurped by both parties and all three branches of the U.S. Government, to the people.  I believe that through this NEW Continental Congress we will be able to ENFORCE, to the full force and effect of the law, the ‘enumerated’ powers clauses of Article 1 Section 8, as further supported by the 9^th and 10^th Amendments in The Bill of Rights of the Constitution of The United States of America.  I further believe that enforcing these laws on the U.S. Government, where we the people only authorized them to have the ‘privilege’ to handle these seventeen enumerated items as listed in The Constitution, the obvious result would be a full restoration of our freedom, liberty, unalienable rights and individual prosperity for the vast majority of our fellow countrymen; through hard work and being able to keep their earnings that otherwise is unconstitutionally stolen by the tyrannical, corrupt despots in the U.S. Government through the usurpation of authorities and responsibilities we never gave them or authorized in any way, shape manner or form which has resulted in this:  us National Debt Clock : Real Time  I would further submit that it is likely that the U.S. Government is going to make us and our posterity pay for this ungodly insanity, UNLESS we enforce the RULE OF LAW as we wrote, established and ordained on the U.S. Government in The Constitution of the United States of America.  The “How are we going to do that?” question will be answered at the NEW Continental Congress by the discussions and plans laid by the 3 “citizen” delegates selected from each State.

 If you have been reading The Liberty Tree Lantern then you have been well posted on these developments of this NEW Continental Congress which is to convene in St. Charles, IL at the Pheasent Run Resort and Conference Center on Sunday November 8^th and will be attended by 3 citizen delegates from every State in the Union.  My understanding is that some of the proceedings will be recorded by camera and reported/ televised by some news organizations to keep the American public informed as to the discussions and plans formulated by the NEW Continental Congress.

 I would note that today is the last day for nomination of all representative “citizen” delegates, three from each State. So if you know anyone who you believe would be an exceptional “citizen” candidate (not tied to either of the two major political parties)  to represent the “people” of Wisconsin, today is your last chance to nominate them and get them on the ballot.  This Continental Congress 2009 has the potential to be a very big historical event in the heritage of America’s contemporary history.

 Very truly yours in FREEDOM,

VITAL NEW CONTINENTIAL CONGRESS VOTING INFORMATION BELOW

Please circulate this message to your contacts.

 As you may know, Wisconsin has two voting centers for the October 10, 2009 in-person election of delegates to Continental Congress 2009.  The two voting centers are:

In addition to these two voting centers for in-person voting, Wisconsin also allows voting by mail.  I attached the following documents regarding mail-in voting:

• Instructions to Mail-In Voters
• Voter Registration – Mail-In Option (must be notarized)
• Wisconsin Mail-In Ballot

These documents will also be posted on the Wisconsin webpage at http://givemeliberty.org/user/congress/Region.aspx?state=wi sometime next week.

By using the mail-in option, you may start voting today.  You may also want to wait until you get a chance to meet the candidates at the Candidate Forum on October 1^st at the Olympia Resort and Spa.  Each candidate is also profiled on the Wisconsin webpage.

The instructions indicate that the ballot and the registration form should be put in separate envelopes and then mailed together in a larger envelope.  The purpose of this separation is to ensure a secret ballot.  However, even if your ballot and registration form are mailed together in the same envelope, I can assure you that your ballot and registration will be separated when the envelope is opened.  The secret ballot will still be maintained.  Your ballot will still be counted even if it is enclosed in the same envelope as the registration form.

Now is the time to peacefully restore our Constitutional Republic.  The Continental Congress is the best option for this to happen.  We the People, acting as sovereign individuals, can make this Continental Congress meaningful and effective by voting in large numbers.  Let’s make it happen.  Our liberty depends on it!

Liberty for all and forever,

Hi Capt. Karl,

My name is Tim Dake and I am a member of the Wisconsin

GrandSons of Liberty based in Franklin. We are hosting, in

partnership with Americans For Prosperity, a Constitution Day

Celebration in Veterans Park on the Milwaukee lakefront on

September 19th. We would like to invite your group. We are

seeking to network with all the groups across the state to

discuss how we can support each other’s groups and our common

cause.

If you send me an e-mail I will send you the flyer to our

event. Our website is www.wisconsingrandsonsofliberty.com

BTW, I really like the phrase “Constitutionally Contemptuous”

-Tim

**************************************************************

Dear Tim my Fellow Patriot,

Please do be so kind as to e-mail a flyer.

It is important that all of our freedom / liberty groups converge to form a voice that can no longer be ignored.  I believe that we are facing times that try men’s souls.  I believe that our unsustainable economy, based on little more than monopoly money, will have incredible growth over the next few months.  And, that is what scares me.  That is exactly what happened in 1929 just before the bottom fell out on Black Friday.  I believe that our economy will become so good that windows in excess of 8 stories will become all the rage on the Black Friday yet to come, that will make the last one look like a cake walk.  I believe that the entire world will revalue the dollar to its true value of 2 – 3 cents in panic selling of all dollar based assets.  I believe that everything will stop, after an explosive growth I call The Supernova Effect and then implode almost overnight.

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.  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.  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.  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.  Poppycock!  How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!

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 SEVENTEEN enumerated items and is expressly forbidden by the 9^th and 10^th Amendments to do ANYTHING else.  Further, the average mind cannot comprehend the immenseness of economic and societal human benefit that would result from such ENFORCEMENT of law.  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.  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.  But the resulting obvious demolishment of 4/5ths of our Federal Government, as WILL happen no matter what if we are to restore our freedom, is also quite hard to have a handle on as well.  This is another reason why an ordinary election, NO MATTER HOW SWEEPING, will not resolve the problem.  The answer to our national dilemma is not Government, it is us.  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 and SUSTAIN our individual liberty and prosperity. And all of this that must happen and be executed,,,  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’s “final ultimatum” 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.

 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 our 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.  I have reason to suspect that not everybody is yet onboard when it comes to enforcing the entire law, word for word, on our government.  I hope I am wrong about that but I believe it to be true.  I believe, as patriotic as they may seem, there are some very influential people in some of these organizations that do not “fully” support the Constitution in terms of its entirety, word for word, especially with regards to the ‘enumerated’ powers clauses of SEVENTEEN items.  But the ‘enumerated powers’ is what made freedom work pre-1913 when our country via individual average working people’s prosperity grew at a pace that resulted in 5000 years of advancement in only 200 (The 5000 Year Leap).

1.   I wonder if even AFP, believes in the full enforcement of every word of The Constitution upon our Government?  I am convinced that Tim (Phillips)and the rest of the guys realize that “full enforcement” means a 4/5ths dissolution of our Government via the ‘enumerated’ powers clauses.  I am not convinced that AFP is for that.  I hope to God that I am wrong on that.  Because that, and the inconceivable productivity that it will unleash, is the ONLY way we, as a “free” people, are going to climb out of this: U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

 Very truly yours in FREEDOM,

Capt. Karl

Friday, August 21, 2009

If Democratic lawmakers thought all the furor over President Obama’s health care plan expressed this month at town hall meetings was dying down, they might be in for a surprise Saturday.

That’s when citizens are planning anti-”Obamacare” rallies across the country Saturday in all 435 congressional districts.

And their message is clear: We will not stand for socialized, government-controlled health care.

The same groups who made the “tax tea parties” possible in April are behind this weekend’s movement. American Liberty Alliance, FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity are working with The Sam Adams Alliance, among others, to stage the rallies.

 Click here for more information on the rallies.

They come as town hall clashes between Democratic lawmakers and protesters of Obama’s health care plan have captured national attention. Some Democrats have dismissed those protesters as “mobs” organized by special interests. But many protesters have said they attended the town halls out of genuine concern.

Now they can express their concerns at Saturday’s rallies.

“Obviously the idea behind this was to have a unified day for those concerned about government-controlled health care to talk outside their representatives’ offices,” said Paul Miller, spokesman for The Sam Adams Alliance, a Chicago-based political organization which is one of several groups promoting the event through new media.

Miller said this is a personal issue for many opponents, including himself, a 22-year cancer survivor. Miller, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer at the age of 14 and had his right arm amputated to save his life, says he would not have received the same specialized and speedy medical care if the government was in control.

“There isn’t this great conspiracy to say there shouldn’t be health care reform,” Miller told FOXNews.com. “People just want to make their own decisions and keep their insurance if they like. When government’s get involved, they never do anything right.”

Eric Odom, executive director for American Liberty Alliance, the lead group behind the tea parties and the new rallies told FOXNews.com that the rallies differ from the tea parties in that they are being organized from the bottom up.

“We didn’t want to try and do what we did on April 15 because the logistics was a nightmare,” he said, explaining that local organizers now have more control over the rallies and have only received basic information from the top.

“People at the local level have taken it and created their own animal with it,” he said. “This is more bottom heavy.”

Odom shrugged at the fact that most of the lawmakers won’t be present at their offices on a Saturday because he said the ultimate goal is to get more people politically engaged.

“This Saturday is symbolic,” he said, adding that his group will e-mail information to rally-goers on how to air their concerns to their representatives. “Most of these people have never done anything political in their lives.”

Phil Kerpen, director of policy for Americans for Prosperity, cautioned that it’s “impossible to predict” the turnout at these rallies “because it’s very decentralized.”

“It could be another big success,” he said, or the crowds could be scaled back. Kerpen said the packed town halls this month don’t provide much indication either.

“I think there’s no better place to make your voice heard and make an impact when you get face to face with your congressman,” he said. “The impetus is greater to show up there than here.”

Jacki Schechner, spokeswoman for Health Care for America Now (HCAN), a coalition of groups supporting Obama’s health care plan, said the rallies are a waste of time.

“There is no government-controlled health care on the table,” she said. “They’re protesting something that doesn’t exist.

“There’s a lot of people out there feeding lies and misinformation and trying to get people hyped up about something that doesn’t exist. They’re wasting their energy.”

Odom found irony in the objections raised by proponents of health care reform.

“It’s interesting that the world’s most professional organizers are upset that we’re organizing communities,” he said.

But Odom said he hasn’t gotten a lot of pushback.

“Surprisingly, I don’t think they take this very seriously,” he said. But he said what separates his organizers from many of Obama’s supporters, including Health Care for America Now (HCAN), is the passion.

“For them it’s business as usual. It’s what they’re paid to do,” he said.

Schechner said the differences between the two sides goes beyond money.

“We didn’t pop up over night,” she said, noting that the group’s campaign began last summer. “We don’t scream. We’re not angry.”

She rejected the notion that community organizers who are paid lack passion. “There are different kinds of passion,” she said.

Schechner added, “I don’t discount their passion. I don’t ever want to undermine their passion. But I really wish they would take a moment to really understand what this legislation is about, because a lot of people would be helped by it.”

But Kerpen said it’s clear that Obama’s plan would lead to a government takeover.

“Read the legislation that’s been proposed,” he said, adding that the House bill has been “designed as an achievable way to reach a single-payer system,” in which the government acts as the sole middle man with greater leverage to negotiate prices. “A lot of people are playing games, as we would expect them to.”

“I am proud to support the work of First Freedoms Foundation and General Counsel Michael Dean. First Freedoms is Wisconsin’s antidote to the ACLU. And while they’re not a household name like the ACLU, they are fighting the good fight and winning. When they win, we all win.”

Where: United Way – 205 N. Main St. -  Janesville, WI

When:  Saturday, August 8, 2009,  9 – 11:00 a.m.

 The 10^th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

I have reviewed the entire Constitution and find healthcare nowhere in the “enumerated” list, therein, where We The People gave the U.S. Government the authority to engage in any form of public health insurance.  I counted seventeen items in the Constitutional “list” of things WE “allowed” the U.S. Government the “privilege” to handle for us.  I find that the vast majority of the powers several Administrations and both houses of Congress from both Parties have usurped, over the course of the last nine decades, which has resulted in utter Constitutional contempt, heinous tyranny and massive spending of our earnings, by confiscation through “Federal withholding and payroll taxes”, numerous methods of other taxation and TRILLIONS of Dollars of “public debt”, are not in the list.   According to the 10^th Amendment, from our cardinal laws of the land, as We The People wrote, established and ordained on all members of the U.S. Government, that makes them scofflaws subject to at least imprisonment or prosecution of treason.

 Such despotism has lead to an economic plight for our near future as well as our children and grandchildren that are so ominous it could be termed financial devastation. 

 Being in attendance at the Congressman Kagen Marinette, WI “listening session” I have reason to believe that I am not alone in my findings.  I hope that Dr. Kagen re-reads OUR law that he is under OATH to support and defend against all enemies both foreign and Pelosi, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion.   -  – Capt. Karl

8/5/2009Thank you for listening to your constituents yesterday and Monday in Green Bay and Appleton. Listening. The operative word. Unlike media suggestions (your suggestions?), the crowds were not manufactured by shady “corporate interests,” but were caring, frustrated Americans, there to listen to you because they’re desperately fearful about the future of their beloved country – and the future we’re building here for our kids.I was moved by the passion – and I hope you were too. 300 people filled that auditorium a half hour before your meeting’s start time in both Green Bay and Appleton hearings. Perhaps next time your staff can find you a larger room, so that 300 or 400 constituents need not be locked out.As an aside sir, it’s interesting that I knew of your meeting schedule from friends and neighbors. In talking with the Steelworkers Union member (the emblem proudly emblazoned on his shirt) sitting behind me, I learned he received an email invitation from your office. You have my email sir, as I’ve contacted your office numerous times. You have my email sir, as I receive pleas for dollars from your campaign committee at the close of every campaign reporting period. Why didn’t I receive a notice of your “listening session” in Appleton?

Such passion Dr. Kagen. I’m not sure you got the message these caring and concerned constituents were sharing.

When asked how you were going to pay for any health care reform bill coming out of Congress, you said you would find $800B – $1T wasted. Wow. When asked if you will vote for health care reform if the majority of your constituents oppose the bill, you took a big sidestep – “It’s [the final bill] something that doesn’t exist yet.”

When a constituent said she heard the benefits of the medicine you and Congress are prescribing, now could you please share with us the side effects, you shrugged her off repeatedly, unable to “explain the whole thing because it will raise controversy.” Well, that surely is being honest, Rep. Kagen. Wow.

Rick Sense, writing for his “The Inside Scoop,” shares further goings-on from yesterday’s gathering.

Some of [Rep. Kagen’s] less than stellar moments included a claim that “the United States Senate is the real enemy” and that he believes it is “unconstitutional” for a pharmacy to be able to charge different people different prices for the same medication (ever buy a used car Rep. Kagen?). When asked if he would support healthcare legislation despite the majority of his constituents being opposed to it, he first replied, “Well, let me explain the legislative process to you,” later adding the cliché “these are complex issues” and ending his answer with, “I will vote for the best interest of our constituents.” At one point, obviously frustrated, Kagen yelled at a constituent, “How dare you!” during an exchange with a member of the audience on how to possibly help a different audience member facing the tough prospect of covering healthcare costs with her husband out of work.

Yes sir, the majority of your constituents understand the need for reforms in our health care system. But no sir, the majority of your district is not in favor of huge new federal bureaucracies taking over health care in America.

You are well aware of those needed changes sir – and indeed have advocated for them.

• Incentivize self-reliance and individual responsibility. More of us must understand what our health care is costing us before we care about what health care is costing us.
• Incentive individual responsibility via extensive price and quality transparency.
• Incentivize wellness
• Help us make good choices by standardizing basic health insurance policies
• Support modified community rating and yes, require that insurance be available for those with pre-existing conditions. 

Hold your ground sir. You are not beholding to Speaker Pelosi or President Obama or any of your congressional colleagues. You sir, are beholding to us. The majority of your district does not want government running their health care. The majority of your district believes HR 3200 or anything like it must be scrapped and substituted with much more basic changes that will control costs in the system and build on individual – not government – responsibilities.

Jo Egelhoff, FoxPolitics.net

*****************************************************************

The Liberty Tree Lantern - would like to ask Dr. Kagen which prescription he is writing for himself and his family, the one he is writing for us Wisconsin citizens and our fellow countrymen across America, or the “special” one that each member of Congress and their families get?

Today Congressman Steve Kagen will be in Oconto and Marinette, WI:

Wednesday, August 5th

10:30 AM
Health Care Listening Session
Oconto Falls Senior Center
512 Caldwell Ave
Oconto Falls, WI

Note that the Oconto Falls listening session is BY INVITATION ONLY.  The Liberty Tree Lantern has confirmed with the Green Bay office of Congressman Steve Kagen, that you as a constituent are NOT INVITED and you will be turned away at the door.

6:00 PM
Health Care Forum
Marinette Senior Center
1603 Ludington St.
Marinette, WI

The Liberty Tree Lantern has confirmed, with the Green Bay office of Congressman Steve Kagen, that as of 09:21 this morning if nothing changes, constituents will be allowed into the Marinette listening session.

Isn’t it amazing the fools that the U.S. Government takes us for?  Basically, as you can see for yourself, the U.S. Government is stating, in so many words, that either we are as stupid as the day is long or the only other possibility is that we have been gathered and bused out to the listening sessions to make it “lo0k like” we care and that we are upset at what they are doing to us.  The U.S. Government is trying to make it look like everything we, here in N.E. Wisconsin are saying is nothing more than a ginned up “sham”.

See for yourself:
