Sometimes even I am shocked at what I hear and am stumped as to what I should say. Recently I heard a child tell his grandmother who was speaking badly about the Obama administration and the policies her dislike for the majority of congress speak up and say "grandma, don't say those things or you will go to jail."

Why would an eight year old think such a thing? Where would he get such ideas? After picking myself up form the floor, I asked him and he said "I just thought it was so."

I took it upon myself to quickly educate him on the Constitution and the role of our elected officials. I took the time to explain to him that all elected officials work for us the voters and that it is our duty and our right to let them know if we do not agree with them or if we think they are doing a bad job. I essentially explained to him "We are their bosses not the other way around."

Now this boy does attend public school so that could explain his mindset, but hopefully I have given him some insight and his parents and grandparents will continue to reiterate it.

Now with all that said and done, we have what appears to be an intentional crash of a small plane into an IRS building by someone who has been speaking up against what he felt was wrong. The man who obviously had issues beyond disliking governmental policies took his own life.

What will the ramifications be for his actions? Well, I can only speculate that others who complain about things, like Obamacare, the IRS, Big government, government intrusion and so on may bring the little boy's fear to a reality.

We should never put the actions of one person into the same ranks as the rest of a group. That would be stereotyping something that most PC liberals lobby against.

Put a Stake Through the Heart of the Anti-gun ObamaCare Bill!

What a difference a day makes!

Before the January 19th election of Republican Scott Brown as United States Senator from Massachusetts, we were being told that ObamaCare would be crammed down our throats whether we liked it or not and that any effort to defeat this monstrosity was hopeless.

After Brown's election in socialistic Massachusetts sent shock waves through the liberal Democratic establishment, too many pro-gunners had assumed that we had won -- and that we could just stop fighting and go home.

But a football team doesn't leave the field and go home at half time, even if it has a healthy lead.

And Nancy Pelosi hasn't given up her efforts to socialize America's health care system and bring your private medical matters under strict government control. Fox News is reporting today that congressional leaders are working on a compromise.

Pelosi herself has said that, if the "gate" to ObamaCare is locked, she will climb over the fence -- or pole-vault over the wall -- or parachute to a liberal socialist victory.

Pelosi's only viable strategy is to get a reluctant House to pass the Senate's bribe-laden, Medicare-cutting, gun-banning bill -- but do so in conjunction with a "fix-it" bill which would pass the House at the same time under quickie "reconciliation" procedures.

We still have plenty of parliamentary tricks up our sleeves to try to block this. But the easiest way to bury ObamaCare once and for all is to get just one House member to switch his vote -- from supporting ObamaCare last fall to opposing it now.

The President's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, is boasting that they are one vote away from passing it in the House. So if we can switch one vote, we can take the "undead" ObamaCare bill and drive a stake through its heart, cut its head off at a midnight crossroads, shoot it with a silver bullet, put garlic around its neck, and bury it in a lead casket with a crucifix on the top. And, given the damage which ObamaCare would do to America, this is hardly too much overkill.

ACTION: So, we are asking you to write your congressman again. Tell him you want a commitment to oppose the corrupt bribe-laden Senate ObamaCare bill -- and to oppose any effort to fix it up.

You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send a pre-written message to your Representative.

----- Pre-written letter -----

Dear Representative:

Nancy Pelosi hasn't given up her efforts to socialize America's health care system and bring me and private medical matters under strict government control. She has said that, if the gate to ObamaCare is locked, she will climb over the fence -- or pole-vault over the wall -- or parachute to a liberal socialist victory.

Pelosi's only viable strategy is to get the House to pass the Senate's bribe-laden, Medicare-cutting, gun-banning bill -- but do so in conjunction with a "'"fix-it" bill which would pass the House at the same time.

The Senate would then kill the "fix-it" bill under the arcane "Byrd rule" -- but gullible House members would claim that wasn't their fault.

It is time to bury ObamaCare once and for all. This legislation will allow the ATF to troll a health/gun database in order to take away firearms from tens of millions of Americans. Not only that, the federal bill is jam-packed with billions of dollars of bribes paid to buy the votes of unscrupulous senators and will impose a host of new taxes on me and my family.

So please make the following commitments:

* To vote against the bribe-laden, gun banning Senate ObamaCare bill under any circumstances; and,

* To publicly declare that the corrupt monstrosity is too sleazy to be cleaned up by any fix-it bill.

If you believe the American people are angry now, wait until Nancy Pelosi shoves this down our throats.

Please take this abomination off the table now -- once and for all. And, please let me hear from you that you will not vote for ObamaCare.

Sincerely,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

David Olofson Still Needs Your Help

David's wife and three children have had to struggle on without him. GOA members have generously pitched in with monthly or one-time contributions to enable GOA to make the Olofson's car and mortgage payments. The economy is rough and some regular supporters have had to cut off their contributions. If you could step up to the plate with $10 or $20 a month, or make a one-time contribution to the Olofson Relief Fund, please go to: http://gunowners.org/olofson.htm

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.

Thats right, thats what the old main stream media is touting. Never mind that Acorn had a big hand in this years census but has supposedly been ousted by the Census bureau.

All that aside, one has to ponder for a moment the title of this piece. Let's see if I participate in the Census, I will be counted and ensure that my state gets the proper amount of congressional representatives. If I do not participate then I may miss out on some representation.

Now, I can hear the comments well. "Um, JP, We haven't been represented in some time."

What does that mean? Well let's see. We the people said no stimulous deals. One was passed under Bush, one was passed under Obama. We said no unfair trade deals, NAFTA passed under Clinton, CAFTA & Others passed under George W, Bush. We said no to National ID card and Real ID was passed. We said no to bailouts of banks, Trillions of tax dollars were handed over with little to no oversight. We said, get China out of the WTO, congress votes them back in. We say no to National Health Care Control Bill, both houses vote to pass their version.

So I am loosing anything by not being counted? Any federal $$ dollars lost to my area means less of my tax dollars being wasted on local pet projects. Should I care?

If you want to be counted, then you need to stand up, speak up and Live Free.
