The Senate will vote on the Frank-Dodd financial (non)reform bill (H.R. 4173) this week and possibly as soon as today. Although it has the votes to pass, it doesn't yet have the 60 votes needed to break a filuster.

This bill will only strangle our already-ailing economy, and will do nothing to prevent future financial collapses or bailouts. Please tell your Senators to support the filibuster and oppose Frank-Dodd through our Reduce Regulations campaign.

You may borrow or copy from this letter . . .

Reducing regulations would actually be the best reform of the financial system. The fraudulent Dodd-Frank bill will only create powerful new armies of regulators who won't actually reform anything.

As David C. John and James L. Gattuso of the Heritage Foundation point out . . . http://www.kentucky.com/2010/07/09/1342459/reinforcing-too-big-to-fail.html

* At 2,300 pages, none of you will have read the bill or know what, exactly, is in it
* The bill empowers regulators to seize private property and "wind down" firms they, and they alone, judge to be "failing."
* A Committee to guard against "systemic risk" won't possibly possess all the knowledge to do their job, and will only discourage and stifle innovation
* The Consumer Protection bureau will reduce the number of options and choices of informed, responsible customers
* The new bureau will also issue supposedly "consumer-friendly" regulations that will conflict with the goal of other regulators of protecting the safety and soundness of financial firms
* By abolishing retail debit card fees (a practice that had nothing to do with the crisis), banks will be forced to raise revenue other ways such as eliminating free checking (and some banks have already begun to do this)
* The bill does nothing to reform Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, two firms that played a huge role in causing the financial crises - which makes future bailouts probable

It gets worse . . .

* A provision to audit the Federal Reserve was gutted in the final bill
* Section 342 seems to require quotas for women and minorities for government agencies and contractors, as if current laws and current departmental civil rights enforcers weren't enough http://tinyurl.com/3997jfu

I don't see how this bill provides ANY benefit to me or to the nation. Instead of reforming our financial system, it just empowers politicians and bureaucrats to reward your friends and punish your enenemies.

A REAL reform bill would . . .

* require greater accountability in the market by forcing even large firms to face the threat of bankruptcy
* abolish "government sponsored enterprises" like Fannie and Freddie
* provide a real and thorough audit of the Fed, whose decisions did so much to cause the crisis

Please introduce real reform that would unleash our over-regulated economy. And I DEMAND you oppose Dodd-Frank!

Quote of the Day: "Government's view of the economy can be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." -- Ronald Reagan (paraphrased)

The politicians meddle with everything. For example, when it comes to energy production there are . . .

* Direct subsidies
* Tax breaks and tax penalties
* Liability limits, but also potential fines if you don't do things just right

What a meddling muddle! This is why . . .

It's fair to say that the federal government played a hidden role in the BP oil spill. To learn more read the sample letter to Congress below.

We think it would be better . . .

* For oil companies to pay all the costs and carry all the potential risks of each drilling project
* To have all of these costs and risks reflected in the prices consumers pay, rather than hidden in legislation and regulations

In other words, there should be . . .

* No subsidies or special tax breaks
* No liability limits
* No tax-funded bailouts, or government run clean-up funds
* And regulations should be provided by insurance companies who are putting their own money at risk

If, after reading the sample letter to Congress below, you agree with us that this approach would better protect both the environment and the taxpayer, then please send Congress a letter telling them that. You can use DownsizeDC.org's No Bailouts campaign to send your letter.

You may borrow from or copy this sample letter . . .

The BP oil spill is another example of the destructive nature of government guarantees and bailouts.

I know that BP has agreed to pay more of the clean-up costs, beyond the government-provided liability cap. I also know that they've been threatened by Congress and the Administration if they don't. But this is hypocritical, because Congress created the liability cap and the clean up fund in the first place! In 1990, Congress passed a law that . . .

* capped oil company liability for spills at $75 million
* set up a fund, paid for by the oil companies, to pay for the rest of the clean-up

In effect, this is a government-run oil spill insurance program, but without the risk management incentives provided by real insurance companies. This whole scheme was a terrible idea from the start, and has been used to bail out companies that cause oil spills a whopping 51 times! http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/02/us/02liability.html
Because of the liability cap, BP may have been less cautious than it would have been if its own money had been at risk.

In addition, a lack of regulation has been blamed for the BP spill. But government regulators . . .

* don't have the profit and loss incentive that private insurance companies do; they don't go out of business for their mistakes
* tend to impose one-size-fits all rules that don't work as well as the site-specific requirements that insurance companies impose
* and often act as partners in the industry they regulate, not as watchdogs http://www.thefreemanonline.org/columns/tgif/bp-spill/

But imagine if we had a free market in energy . . .

* Oil companies would be liable for ALL the damage they cause
* And this would compel them to seek liability insurance in the private market

In turn, insurance companies would . . .

* demand the strictest standards to prevent accidents and spills because, unlike government regulators, they would be financially responsible for any mishaps
* and, if the risks are too great, they would deny coverage

If off-shore drilling is too risky, that means no one in a free market will invest in it, and entrepreneurs would then have a huge incentive to develop less-risky energy alternatives. This would be a good thing! This is what you politicians claim to want!

This means that a true free market in energy would actually reduce accidents and CREATE A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT.

I therefore demand that you put an end to government meddling in energy production.

1) Instead of raising the liability cap for oil spills, remove all government liability caps on all forms of energy production
2) Instead of inefficient and counter-productive government regulations, allow private insurance to set requirements for off-shore oil drilling and other forms of energy production, such as nuclear, which is also currently protected by government liability limits
3) Get rid of all subsidies, tax breaks, and tax penalties so that we can benefit from free and fair competition among all energy producers

Once these three market-based policies are in place, energy companies will bear the true capital expense of their projects -- instead of the taxpayers. Risky and dangerous projects will flop. But profitable projects should be allowed to proceed -- including drilling for oil.

You can tell what folks are thinking about most by listening to what they talk about. Pretty simple principle.

President Obama gave a "jobs" speech in Ohio a few days ago, and we analyzed it hoping to find some good policy ideas for getting our economy moving again. Instead, we found something amazing.

The president actually said the word "taxpayers" two times and he said the words "small business" 8 times. But, guess how many times he referred to himself with "I" or "me"?!? You have to watch the video to find out, and you'll have to see it to believe it! Watch the video.

So what can we expect tonight?

You may have heard that President Obama has proposed a three-year "freeze" on federal spending, and that may sound good on its face. But it's really a gimmick to make it look like the administration has heard your voice about the size of government.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office just released its projections for the coming year and they found something interesting. Without Obama's "freeze," discretionary spending would actually decrease over the next four years. So by freezing spending at today's higher level, it would mean spending more!

One more thing about the "freeze" - it freezes in place all of the huge spending increases from Obama's first year in office. When the stimulus was passed, we were told it would be temporary; Obama's freeze would extend that spending for three more years. Don't be fooled.

And, when he talks about job creation, think about the president's two top priorities – a health care takeover and cap-and-trade. Both drive up government spending, take us even deeper into debt, raise taxes on American families and businesses, and kill hundreds of thousands of private sector jobs.

As the president attempts to re-invent his brand tonight, let's make sure we keep the truth detector running full speed.

And, let's make sure we keep up the fight for our freedoms.

Many who call themselves Christians think of themselves as servants. They serve God and help those in need such as the homeless, the poor, the widows and so forth. They do that which the Word of God commands them.

They do this out of Love for God and his word. To do these thing reflects the Love of Christ that dwells within them.

However, there are many who call themselves Christians who still celebrate Pagan holidays. Many do it out of tradition or even misguided faith. Others do it because they are simply ignorant of God's word.

God's Word clearly tells us that we are not to participate in pagan rituals or witchcraft, yet many Christians participate in Halloween.
Many have great excuses for doing so such as:

"The kids just want to have fun."
"I dont want my child to feel left out."
I am not worshiping Satan or practicing witchcraft, so there is no harm there."

The list goes on and on. In their hearts they know it is wrong, but most do not want to let go of tradition.

I once went to a church where I taught Sunday School and talked about Halloween. Later in the week, I went to the store and saw one of my class members in the Halloween isle looking at costumes with their little ones. I didn't say a word and turned away. As I started to do so, I noticed she looked up, saw me, quickly grabbed her little ones hands and went around the corner.

Was she afraid that I would turn her into some kind of Church police for participating in Halloween? I highly doubt it. perhaps she remembered Gods word and our last bible study and her heart was convicted of what she was doing.

I never mentioned it to her. I figured there was really nothing I could say since, I had already showed her God's Word. She obviously chose to disobey it and God was already dealing with her.

You see, when we as Christians choose to Serve God,we are servants, but when we choose to go against God's word, we bring ourselves into the bondage of sin. Sin is bondage and we can only be free when we live in

GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
James 1:22 ~ But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (KJV)

NC Legislators & DMV Create Corrupt ID System

March 18, 2008

www.ncard.info

Experts will tell you that putting all of your eggs in one basket is a bad idea. This is true when it comes to investing your money and it is true when it comes to your private personal information.

First and foremost, there is no such thing as a secure database. If there were, the Department of Homeland Security, The Pentagon, the State Department and the like could prevent their systems from being hacked. Our state Legislators have been well informed of the dangers of putting all of our private information into one system, but Have chosen to IGNORE the experts. They have also been well informed that such a system is expensive to create and maintain, yet with reckless abandonment, they installed an ineffective and costly system in North Carolina.

This system stores not just your private personal information; it stores your biometric data as well. Currently, the State DMV uses Facial Recognition Technology (FRT), even though it has been proven to be inferior technology.

Will your legislator continue to waste your tax dollars in these tough economic times or will they get a refund on the system currently in place and create a safe and cost effective system that will not waste your tax dollars or put your identity and privacy at risk? Call them today and ask them.

###

We need everyone on the phone today until Friday calling Rep Coates. Please ask Rep Coates to support our Proposed Legislation. Tell her you understand she is busy working on other legislation, but this is important as well.

Call Several Times a day if you need to, we need to overwhelm the phone lines.

Rep Coates
Phone: 919-733-5784
Email: Lorene.Coates@ncleg.net

You can email, but PHONE CALLS ARE A MUST

Also, thank you to all of those who are spreading the word aobut this show. We need to wake up as many people as possible and time is running out.

GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (King James Version)
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Perhaps you think the newly elected leader will bring about a wonderful change for this country. Perhaps you are someone who thinks GW and his cohorts have done a fine job and you wish they could stay in for years to come, perhaps you believe the corporate owned and operated media. If you said yes or agree to any of these, then odds are you might be a sheeple.

Do not feel bad about it, it has happened to all of us. We thought that those we elected actually wanted to represent us and do what they could to make sure our nation was safe while protecting and defending our liberties provided to us through the US Constitution.

Well, we were wrong and admit it, we broke free of the herd and now stand as independent men and woman who will ow fend for ourselves. We will not rely on our leaders to take care of us, we will become the new leaders. We will get elected to office on all levels and we will move to restore the liberties of this great nation.

We will stop the erosion of our rights, we will say no to the national id card, we will not allow the North American Union or now the North American Community. We will work to ensure that our borders are secure and that our current immigration laws are enforced. We will not allow an amnesty or path to citizenship.

We will not swallow any more deception, we feed on truth and knowledge and we strive to share that with as many people as possible.

WE ARE AWAKE!

GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY

The Romans Road to Salvation

Romans 3:10.
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 3:23-24.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Romans 5:7-8.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:23.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 10:9-11.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
PROVERBS 17:22 A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine.

Quote of the Day: "It is the theory of all modern civilized governments that they protect and foster the liberty of the citizen; it is the practice of all of them to limit its exercise, and sometimes very narrowly." -- H. L. Mencken

Subject: Today is Bill of Rights Day

This isn't some arbitrary, symbolic holiday. It's a real anniversary. The Bill of Rights was ratified today in 1791 -- 217 years ago. We believe that this event, more than anything else, was what has made the United States different from other countries.

It isn't democracy or representative government that made America unique. The Greeks, the Romans, and the British had those things. The Roman Republic even had divided powers, with checks and balances which our Founders knowingly copied. But as far as we know the United States was the first country to incorporate such specific, individually-oriented limits on government power into its supreme law.

Of course, this protection only works if our politicians obey the law, and this obedience is something we must demand; it will not be given freely.

Twas the Night before Christmas
By Jim Palmer
Saturday, December 13, 2008

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the mall.
Not an American Made product could be found, not one at all.
The Chinese Made decorations were hung with care,
Seemed to glare at me with an evil red stare.

The children lay nestled in their beds,
While visions of lead laden toys danced in their heads.
And Mama in her Made in Pakistan Kerchief and I in my Made in China cap,
Stood in the middle of the Mall and Shouted “I’m tired of this imported crap!”

I was asked to leave the mall by security who didn’t appreciate my clatter.
People stared like what I said, didn’t even matter.
Out of the parking lot I drove with a flash,
My foot on the accelerator, my wife screaming “Don't make us crash!”

The roads were slick from the new fallen snow.
We arrived home safely with no American Made gifts to show.
I sat at my computer; my eye began to form a tear.
Not having any American Made gifts to offer was my biggest fear.

My Chinese Made computer assembled in America, on startup began to stick.
My stomach was turning I was feeling sick.
The screen turned blue, oh I knew this game.
I rebooted and finally it started after I called it a choice name.

My wife was in the kitchen and something in her Anchor Hocking bowl was mixin’.
Within minutes I could smell something baking and asked her what she was fixin.
She brought in some treats delicate and small.
On American Made Corelle dishes rested them all.

I took a deep breath and let out a sigh.
I must not give up I thought, I have to at least try.
I typed as fast as I could to reach the web sites I knew.
American Made gifts I would find through and through.

I found BuyDirectUSA.com and wondered why I had been such a goof.
I found gifts and toys Made in the USA and this was my proof.
Gifts, collectibles, toys, figurines and candy are what I found.
My mission was clear, I knew what I wanted and I was success bound.

My feet began to shiver and I noticed I was barefoot.
So I ordered some sheepskin slippers and other American Made loot.
Those people at the mall, I thought don't know jack.
My eyes were getting heavy and I wanted to jump in the sack.

But I forgot a gift for the beautiful woman I did marry.
I thought and I thought and decided she needed something to carry.
A Leather handbag from Tough Traveler wrapped with a bow.
To help keep her warm, I bought her an American made throw.

I found an ornament made of pewter shaped like a wreath.
And some lead free toys for the little one who was just getting his teeth.
I looked at my list and knew I had forgotten Craig and Kelly.
I chose a BroilKing griddle, so they could cook up some pancakes covered in jelly.

An Emmett Kelly Jr figurine for my mother-in-law to put on her shelf.
Santa could not have done a better job himself.
The web site was decorated in colors of blue, white and red.
Thoughts of Americans working entered my head.

I wondered if it had been a man or woman who did this great work.
I knew this was something that would drive the Chinese bezerk.
As every hard working American knows.
Nothing makes a better gift, Made in the USA as I chose.

I heard my wife coming my way and quick as a whistle,
I filled out my order information and shut down the computer faster than a missile.
The screen went black and dark as the night.
Merry Christmas to all and this year buy American and get it right.
