Pray today for all those who offered their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for our country. May we continue to dedicate ourselves to making this "one country UNDER GOD with liberty and justice for all" especially the most vulnerable.

Support Liberty: Sign the Petition Against the Federal Government's Mandate

Attorney General of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli, filed a lawsuit against the federal government for their unconstitutional mandate on citizens requiring them to purchase health insurance. Ken has also initiated a petition to generate support for his efforts to stop the mandate. Ken's message follows.

Fellow Americans,

On Tuesday, March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law a healthcare bill of historic proportions. That bill includes an individual mandate on Americans that declares that they must buy health insurance or face penalties. This overreaches the authority of Congress under the Commerce Clause and is therefore unconstitutional.

Buying health insurance can be said to be an act in commerce. However, if someone doesn’t buy insurance, they are by definition not engaging in commerce. This legislation greatly oversteps the Commerce Clause.

Please join in Virginia’s fight to overturn the individual mandate on health insurance. I ask that you indicate your support by signing the petition below. Please also forward this to your friends.

Sincerely,
Ken Cuccinelli
Attorney General of Virginia

Judge Napolitano Discusses the Monstrosity of the Patriot Act

If Americans don't start reading the Constitution and reading the bills our legislators vote on, we will lose all our rights. George W. Bush gave us the monstrosity of the Patriot Act that violates the Constitutional rights of the people. Watch these incredible videos. The government is an artificial institution based on fear and force. Under the Patriot Act FBI agents can write a search warrant without a judge and serve it secretly and it is illegal for the recipient to reveal it to another. That violation of individual rights reflects an out-of-control government. And the only protection against an out of control government is our Constitution.

Under the Constitution, the states have the power to nullify a law of Congress that interferes with their sovereignty. An example of this can be seen currently in a historic bill introduced in the Virginia General Assembly, The Virginia Health Care Freedom Act, HB 10. Learn more about it here. Listen to these videos and read Judge Napolitano's books. He is a voice of common sense in a world gone mad. If we don't stand up and fight for our freedoms we will lose them!

The Patriot Act is up for reauthorization. If American don't act this tyrannical bill will continue and Americans will be prosecuted under its unconstitutional provisions. Please contact your Senators and Congressmen and ask them to vote against reauthorizing this terrible law.

Posts from the Twilight Zone - Government Terrorism on the Rise

Bizarre items linked to the Department of Homeland Security and their report about domestic terrorism and "right-wing extremism" are right out of the Twilight Zone.

I wrote last month about Steve Bierfeldt of The Campaign for Liberty who was detained at the St. Louis Airport because he was (gasp!) carrying about $4500 in cash. If you haven't listened to Judge Napolitano talk about that violation of rights check it out.

Bad news for freedom. But today I got an item about a motorist in a small town in Alabama who was stopped BECAUSE OF HIS BUMPER STICKER! The man was detained for thirty minutes by the vigilant cops who ran an identification check before letting him go WITH A WARNING.

Since President Obama took office the Department of Homeland Security has labeled as potential terrorists pro-lifers, vets, Ron Paul supporters, and others who support freedom. I have both a Ron Paul and a pro-life sticker on my bumper making me a double terrorist I guess. Read the article; it's a head-shaker. Next, they'll have someone at the check-out counter in the grocery store doing a background check on anyone who buys teabags.

But this is no laughing matter. Remember what happened at Ruby Ridge and Waco. An out-of-control government killed American citizens who had committed no crimes including a twelve-year-old boy shot in the back. The only thing that made these Americans suspect was their distrust of the government. Hey, by that criteria Ronald Reagan was a terrorist. He used to joke that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Real ID is a Real Violation of Your Privacy!

Tomorrow in my state (Virginia) the General Assembly will either support Governor Tim Kaine's duplicity on Real ID or they will stand up and say NO! The Gov. added an amendment to legislation (SB 1046) which will put Virginia in compliance with Real ID. His action will overturn a law passed earlier this session (Bob Marshall's Stop Dangerous ID bill, HB 1587). The reason is that what legislators approve at the end of the session takes precendence over bills passed earlier. But Kaine's politico "sneak" just mimics the way Dangerous ID was passed in Congress in the first place. Real ID was never openly debated. It was attached to a supplemental bill for the Iraq War and tsunami relief. The lemmings in Congress (except Ron Paul) voted for the bill despite this dangerous provision. It has no legitimacy since there was no review, no debate, and no input from citizens. Talk about a Big Brother coup! Is this what we call "governmnet by the people?"

If you are from Virginia tell your legislators to vote no tomorrow on Kaine's amendment. If you live in another state find out what the status of Real ID is and fight. Love liberty or lose it! (Photo from the Hartford Courant, Oct. 30, 2001)

Why the 'Real ID' Act is a real mess

Real Answers on Real ID

What Is 'Real ID'?

The Brown Shirts Are Here!

The video below contains an audio clip from a young man who was detained at the airport in St. Louis by FIVE armed police officers -- get this -- because he had $4700 in his carry-on luggage. What was his "crime?" When the officers asked why he had the money he asked them whether he was required by law to answer their questions. They immediately went into brown-shirt mode. It reached the point where they were going to take him down to the police station when a plainclothes cop (FBI) came in and whispered something in their ears and they let him go. He made his plane. He was smart enough when the interrogation started to click the recording button on his fancy cell phone and got the entire encounter on tape.

So now carrying cash makes you a suspected terrorist. (So does being a Ron Paul supporter!) Think of that. What's the limit? Is $2000 okay? How about $500? Watch the video; it's unbelievable! God bless this young lover of liberty.

I had a similar situation happen outside an abortion mill several years ago. I was sidewalk counseling when a car stopped in the driveway and I stepped over to the window to talk to the couple who took my literature. The officer (They always had a police car in the parking lot on Saturdays.) asked me to get out of driveway I did.

Then he came over and insisted I give my name or he would arrest me. I started to comply but he got my Irish up so I asked what law required me to answer. Was I being charged with breaking a law? We had been told being in the driveway was okay by his supervisor if we weren't blocking people trying to go in and out which I told him. Nevertheless, he told me if I didn't answer he'd give me a summons. Which he did when I continued to refuse.

The next business day I went down and had a talk with the Commonwealth's Attorney who told me that if I were being charged with a crime I had to comply, but the exact opposite was what happened. To make a long story short they dropped the charges and (on my insistence) sent me a letter telling me that I did not have to appear in court. We never had a problem with that officer again.

Stand up for your rights like this man did. If you don't, the next bullying may not be just words but the nightstick and the cattle prod.
