Quote of the Day: "If Big Brother (of Orwell's 1984) comes to America, he will not be a fearsome, foreboding figure with a heart-chilling, omnipresent glare as in 1984. He will come with a smile on his face, a quip on his lips, a wave to the crowd, and a press that (a) dutifully reports the suppressive measures he is taking to save the nation from internal chaos and foreign threat; and (b) gingerly questions whether he will be able to succeed." -- Michael Parenti, Source: "Inventing Reality" (1986)
Washington sources tell us that a Patriot Act renewal bill is scheduled for a vote in the House TOMORROW, Tuesday February 8.
They will attempt to pass the bill, H.R.514, under "suspension of the rules," which requires a two-thirds vote.
Defeating this will only require 1/3 of Congress. That will buy us time, and time is what we need to educate Congress that the Patriot Act is unnecessary and dangerous.
HOWEVER, our sources also tell us we're likely to lose this vote, UNLESS WE ACT IMMEDIATELY.
We have previously written about the Patriot Act and provided sample letters to oppose it:
* January 28: http://www.downsizedc.org/blog/how-the-patriot-act-led-to-40000-fbi-crimes
* February 4: http://www.downsizedc.org/blog/do-you-need-the-patriot-act
Here's another. PLEASE tell Congress to oppose this bill and to REPEAL the Patriot Act.
You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .
I'm disturbed by Congress's negligent oversight of the Patriot Act . . .
* You haven't established that any of the powers given to the FBI and other federal agencies have actually PREVENTED acts of terrorism
* You have failed to investigate the FBI, or hold it accountable, for possibly tens of thousands of abuses https://www.eff.org/pages/patterns-misconduct-fbi-intelligence-violations
As a result . . .
* I don't feel that the Patriot Act has made us "safer"
* I'm more afraid of federal agents than I am of terrorists
Instead of renewing provisions of the Patriot Act, you should REPEAL all of it. And then you should hold hearings to investigate FBI abuses.

Quote of the Day: "True, it is evil that a single man should crush the herd, but see not there the worse form of slavery, which is when the herd crushes out the man." -- Antoine De Saintexupery (1900-1944) Source: Citadelle, 1948
A Florida court has struck down all of Obamacare as unconstitutional, but it will remain the law of the land until the Supreme Court rules.
So let's maintain our pressure on the Senate! I sent the following letter to my Congressional reps this morning . . .
The President and Congress promised that Obamacare would bring down healthcare costs. But Medicare's Chief Actuary, Richard Foster, just testified to the House Budget Committee that this claim is "false, more so than true." This makes me think I was lied to.
President Obama also promised that everyone who likes their current health insurance would be able to keep it. But many people are already losing their old health insurance because of Obamacare. This feels like another lie.
Candidate Obama promised that his healthcare bill would contain no requirement that would enrich health insurance companies by forcing citizens to buy their products. He even said, "Well, if things were that easy, I could mandate everybody to buy a house, and that would solve the problem of homelessness. It doesn’t." http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/federal-judge-cites-quotes-president-rul
Mr. Obama made quite a point of this when debating Hillary Clinton, but the law that people now call by his name, Obamacare, does exactly what he PROMISED it would not do. I'm quite certain I was lied to.
Politicians constantly promise to protect me from rapacious businesses, but that's another fraud. I can already protect myself by refusing to do business with companies I don't like. But how do I stop doing business with the federal state?
The best I can do is convince a majority of my fellow citizens to elect a Congress that will stop coercing me, but that's nearly impossible. So it's really you I need protection from, especially when you conspire with big businesses to pick my pocket for my own supposed benefit, as with Obamacare.
I'm angered by the hypocrisy. When a business does something wrong you politicians always erect some cancerous regulatory scam, like Sarbanes-Oxley, to punish the innocent along with the guilty, but do you hold the federal state to the same standard? NO! Not at all. Instead, it's lies, lies, lies, and fraud, fraud, fraud. Enough!
The Senate needs to repeal Obamacare, just like the House did. DO IT NOW!

International Data Privacy Day
January 28, 2011
Tracking Cookies are Crummy, says Search Engine Startpage.com Privacy-friendly URL Generator supports snoop-free settings
"Tracking cookies are not only obnoxious, they leave crumbs that lead marketers straight to your door," says Robert Beens, CEO of Startpage.com, the World's Most Private Search Engine.
So he's making it his mission to educate consumers about the "Internet crumbs" cookies leave behind. He's also encouraging consumers to delete tracking cookies from their computers on January 28 in honor of International Data Privacy Day.
Tracking cookies are "a huge privacy problem," according to Beens, who accuses advertisers of being information vultures. "A better name for them might be 'stalker cookies'," he says.
What some Internet companies are doing with consumer information is unconscionable, Beens contends. "Most consumers are unaware of how most big websites and search engines capture user cookie information and IP addresses to record their search terms, the times of their visits, and the links they click."
He points out that search engine records are especially invasive because they can reveal extremely personal information, like someone's interests, family situation, and medical conditions. These profiles are often stored in giant databases and used for marketing purposes. They can also be hacked or subpoenaed.
"Internet information can come back to haunt you," Beens warns. "If you search for information about diabetes, for example, that could be added to your consumer profile and potentially raise a red flag if you apply for a new job or a life insurance policy."
Beens' company offers consumers a cookie-free service, even when they want custom search settings. Startpage's new URL Generator encodes these settings in an anonymous URL that can be bookmarked or used to create an address bar search box. For example, if someone prefers large font and family-friendly filtering, the URL will automatically deliver searches just the way he or she likes them at every visit.
Startpage has always offered a non-identifying, anonymous cookie option for storing custom settings. This is still available for those users who selectively delete tracking cookies and know how to whitelist Startpage's privacy-friendly cookie.
"Our new URL Generator is just one more way we're offering innovative, privacy-friendly searches and helping to change how the Internet does business," says Beens. "We believe that privacy is a fundamental right and the basis of a free society. We're helping consumers enjoy all the Internet has to offer without giving up that right."
About Startpage
Startpage is an award-winning search engine with an industry-leading privacy policy. Startpage is the only major search engine to provide third-party certified, fully anonymous, private searches. Startpage offers SSL encryption and is the only one offering a free proxy service.
Further information on Startpage, including details about the company's exemplary data-handling practices, can be found at www.startpage.com

The image of the US Flag flying next to the Communist Chinese Flag is disturbing enough. It is also disturbing that Obama would invite the Communist leader responsible to a state dinner. Something that is supposed to be reserved for dignitaries.
The U.S. State Department has identified 22 areas of human-rights abuses under Hu Jintao, among them torture, forced abortions, forced labor, detention of religious groups, government corruption and restrictions on speech and the media. In 2006, citizens were executed for such nonviolent crimes as bribery and stealing oil. Parade
During George W Bush's reign, many Republicans who still hold office today were responsible for Legislation like Real ID or National ID cards. "The former head of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, once stated: "The net effect of this may be that it's going to be harder for people on campus here to get a drink when they're under 21, but unfortunately it's not going to be that much harder for the most sophisticated dangerous people to counterfeit an identity card." Matter of fact, an alleged murderer who was featured on Americas Most Wanted was stopped in Florida with a Real ID compliant Drivers license that had his image but a completely different name.
Republicans are just as responsible for the loss of liberty as any current and former democrats. They simply do it under the guise that we need protection.
One thing for certain, we know Hu Jintao is a communist dictator, he doesn't use much political rhetoric about his strong arm tactics of forced abortion, limited religion and spying on its citizens. These things are done to protect the Communist rule not the people of China and he certainly does not care about rights.
China has a national ID card system and the same company involved with producing it is the same one that has their hands in creating the National ID card for the US.
What is Chertoff up to these days?
“On September 20, 2010, the Safran Group announced a definitive agreement with L-1 Identity Solutions to purchase L-1’s Biometric, Secure Credentialing and Enrollment Services for $1.09 billion in cash on hand. Once the transaction is complete, Safran intends to incorporate these L-1 divisions as part of the Safran Group’s existing security business, Morpho, and solidify Safran’s presence as an industry leader for biometrics and identity management solutions. The transaction is expected to close during 2011, subject to regulatory approvals.
During this transaction, The Chertoff Group served as strategic advisors to Safran. The Chertoff Group members of the advisory team included: Michael Chertoff, Co-founder and Managing Principal at The Chertoff Group; Chad Sweet, Co-founder and Managing Principal at The Chertoff Group; and J. Bennet Waters PhD., Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer at The Chertoff Group.” www.chertoffgroup.com
That;'s right, the same company that is creating the National ID cards for those states that did comply is being sold to a French Company. Michael Chertoff was so kind to help with deal. I wonder how much financial gain he received through this deal?
NOW REPUBLICANS ARE PUSHING FOR E-Verify
A Backdoor National ID System
Republican Governor Rick Scott signed executive order to force employers to use everify
Montana is pushing for it as are many other states. Not to mention, groups like NumbersUSA is pushing for the system to mandatory nationwide and are pushing for legislation this year.
Information is entered into a national database to see if anyone who seeking employment has the right to work.
President Ronald Regan was opposed to any form of National ID. Last time I checked he was a Republican President, yet his predecessors under the guise security and safety believe systems that can be hacked or compromised is going to keep us safe from illegal immigrants and terrorists.
Yes, we have an issue with security and illegal immigration in the country, but come up with some viable solutions.
STAND UP, SPEAK UP, LIVE FREE!

WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE WITH THIS MAINSTREAM MEDIA?
Establishment Ignores Violent Rhetoric From Eco-Leftists
http://bit.ly/i6XBrv
While the media tries to cover its tracks in presenting the Arizona shooter as a right wing tea party conservative, the real details are coming out and it isn't a pretty picture.
He obviously has some mental issues and his day in court will not come soon enough for the victims and their families in AZ.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords who is still in critical condition and with the family of Federal Judge John Roll, Nine Year Old Christina Green, and the families of the other victims.
I have been to many political events and have seen people getting vicious and hateful even threatening but it was never the conservatives instigating it.
Events like this one may cause conservatives to shy away in fear that if they speak up, they will be looked at as a target or they may be looked at as a suspect if their view is in opposition of the elected representative who is speaking.
We must always remain vigilant while attending these types of events to make certain their are no left wing extremists inciting violence or anyone else for that matter.
Yes our nation has gone in a direction that the majority of Americans do not like, but the answer to the problems in is the voting booth and through the use of civil dialogue.
The 2010 mid term elections proved that we can get the "change" we want without even raising our voices.

http://bit.ly/fMlDa4
For the first time in a long time, I took time to think about what my true focus should be on in the new year. As I prayed the following words came to my heart.
Dear Lord,
Please make give me a new heart and increase my compassion.
New hands to do the work you want me to do.
New feet to go the places you want me to go.
New eyes to see the things you want me to see.
A new resolve to share the truth with as many people as possible.
Lord in all that I do, may I bring honor and glory to all to you.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
Our nation has an opportunity to change, but it must happen one person at a time. We need to move forward by looking back on things that have not worked and things that have.
Freedom and Liberty should not be given up easily, Men, women and children should not be subjected to being fondled by those whoa were hired to keep airports safe if they refuse to be irradiated by back-scatter devices at the airports.
National ID Cards, national databases, executive signing orders, internet control, food control and many other un-American pieces of legislation needs to be overturned.
It will take a strong resolve and it will take a large number of like-minded Americans to make it happen.
As long as we put our faith and trust in God and we stand together, we can be victorious at the polls and in our state legislators as well as the federal legislatures.
Stand up, Speak Up, Live Free!
GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 (KJV)

"Repeal the Real ID Act" is DownsizeDC.org's oldest active campaign.
That's because REAL ID - which is a de facto national ID card - lays the foundation for a future police state.
That's why so many people have fought against it so hard for so long. And thanks to that resistence REAL ID still hasn't been implimented, six years after it became law! A big part of this is because of your pressure.
And now there's more good news . . .
There's a silver lining in the monstrous, 1,926-page appropriations bill (H.R. 3082). This bill rescinds funding for a REAL ID "hub." The House already passed the bill, and the Senate will consider it as soon as TODAY.
This hub would have created a centralized ID verification system, where states share driver information with each other. Without this hub, REAL ID suffers a fatal blow.
That's why we're asking you to tell Congress to support this cut in REAL ID's budget, and to repeal REAL ID altogether.
You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .
I'm glad that the House is rescinding funding for a REAL ID hub in the H.R. 3082 budget bill. My Senators should ensure that this rescission remains in the bill.
But you should do more. Repeal REAL ID entirely.
* REAL ID assumes I am a foreign terrorist or illegal immigrant, and that I must "prove" my innocence
* I am punished with higher fees, more red tape, and longer DMV lines
* And my private information will be centralized, making me more susceptible to identity theft and other dangers
Furthermore . . .
* The REAL ID law still exists as an unconstitutional, unfunded mandate on the cash-strapped states
* 21 states will still be out of compliance when it is scheduled to take effect in May, 2011 http://www.seattlepi.com/local/431425_realid08.html?source=mypi
* By de-funding the verification hub, there's no longer any point in forcing the states to implement REAL ID
This is America, land of the free. It's not the land of "Your papers, please." Help restore liberty to America and repeal REAL ID.

Dream Act supporters want Education on taxpayers dime and a pathway to citizenship.
Claims that it is not fair to deny a child who was brought into the country illegally has spewed forth without considerable thought.
Not surprisingly, Ousted house members Republicans and Democrat supported the Legislation of the bad Dream.
It may not be the child's fault that their parents have broken the laws of this land but it is also not the fault of hardworking taxpayers who are bursting at the seams with high taxes and high unemployment.
Americans do not want to pay for the education of those who entered into this country regardless of how it happened. They certainly do not want reward lawbreakers with a pathway to citizenship.
Sorry, but as a child, if my parents made bad finacial and or legal choices, the whole family suffered including the children. Yet, we are supposed to reward them?
Tell your senators, to stop this bad dream and prevent it from being a nightmare.

Read the Bills Act and Food Safety: What Happens When Your Senators Don't Read the Bill
Posted by John Markley
A funny thing happened on the way to the "food safety" bill's passage. As the letter below says, Senators violated a provision of the Constitution when they passed their version (S.510), and House leaders will not accept this violation.
We are pleased with this development, because it makes final passage of the dangerous "food safety" bill much more difficult.
But it should also be pointed out that if DownsizeDC.org's Read the Bills Act (RTBA) had been in force, the Senate would not have made this mistake. And so we're asking you to tell Congress to introduce and pass the Read the Bills Act.
You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .
The "food safety" bill that passed the Senate, S.510, is further proof that we need the Read the Bills Act (RTBA). S.510 includes new taxes, whereas the Constitution requires all tax bills to originate in the House.
This means the 73 Senators who voted for it either . . .
* Knowingly violated their oath of office to support the Constitution, or . . .
* They didn't read the bill!
The Read the Bills Act (RTBA) would have prevented this . . .
* It requires all bills that come to a vote to be read before a quorum in each chamber
* It also requires that they be posted online, in their final form, seven days before a final vote
If the RTBA was in force, surely many people would have caught this mistake BEFORE the bill's passage.
If you take your oath of office seriously, you wouldn't knowingly pass a bill that clearly violates the Constitution. The RTBA would prevent that from happening. I therefore expect you to introduce this bill soon.
END LETTER
You may send your letter using DownsizeDC.org's Educate the Powerful System.
We also invite you to add your blog or website to the Read the Bills Act Coalition. By joining, you help spread the word about the RTBA, and in return we will list your site on our blog and announce it in a Downsizer-Dispatch reaching over 30,800 readers. You may learn more and join here.
This month we welcome Live Free Radio to the coalition.

Obama Nominates Rabid Anti-gunner to Head the ATF
Gun Owners of America
http://gunowners.org
Monday, November 29, 2010
It was not a good sign that Barack Obama kept his nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives a secret until after the midterm election --- and then quickly announced that anti-gun zealot Andrew F. Traver would be named to fill the slot.
After being blasted before November 2's election by the liberal New York Times for failing to beef up the ATF by appointing a director --- for fear of the wrath of the "gun lobby" --- Obama gets right past the election and, presto chango, a nominee appears. How 'bout that?
And not just any nominee.
As special agent in charge of Chicago's ATF field division, Traver had taken the lead in calling for a ban on semiautomatic firearms.
And Chicago, of course, has been the epicenter of anti-gun government activism. It is not surprising that Traver has also been active in the virulently anti-gun International Association of Chiefs of Police, which has worked to empower Handgun Control-type activists and has commissioned panels to:
* support one-gun-a-month and lock-up-your-safety laws, as well as "ballistic fingerprinting" files on all firearms;
* espouse an "effective" ban on .50-caliber firearms, and a redefinition of "armor-piercing" ammunition that could effectively ban handgun use;
* mandate gun-destruction policies for law enforcement and enhanced funding to go after guns;
* prohibit all private gun sales and make "prohibited persons" out of a much wider variety of persons committing simple misdemeanors;
* back a repeal of the Tiahrt amendment; and,
* allow federal health and safety oversight of the firearms industry (through agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Food and Drug Administration).
It is disconcerting that ANY organization espousing these views would be taken seriously. That an activist in such an organization would be put in charge of the ATF is truly troubling.
ACTION: Contact your Senators. Urge them to support a filibuster of the Traver nomination to head the ATF. You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center to send your Senators the pre-written e-mail message below.
----- Pre-written letter -----
Dear Senator:
