Nearly every day, Congress continues to vote against the will of The People. Just last Friday they voted against the Balanced Budget Amendment which polls show over 70 percent of The People supported. We are no longer operating as our Founding Fathers intended when they created this Constitutional Republic. We The People have lost control of our Republic to the hands of corrupt mad men and special interests!

Accountability Now & Pending Legislation

We cannot afford to have blinders on as we run up to election day 2012. The battle for liberty and fiscal responsibility is happening now in Congress. Have you forgotten how hard it is to repeal bad legislation? If the Republicans gain control of government in 2012, history has shown they will support bad laws such as the Patriot Act which assault our Constitution and they may continue to spend trillions just like the Democrats. We must hold our representatives accountable now, or they will run wild when they have a majority. This week and next week should be a very busy for Congress. We are expecting the following “Turkeys”:

Super Committee: From the beginning we all knew what Congress should have known that this “Super Committee” was useless and un-Constitutional. For years Congress has failed to pass a budget and then actually had the nerve to attempt to pass its responsibility to a committee. Someone said it best when they said, “committees are where things go to die”. Leave it to Congress to form a “Super Committee” that violates the Constitution to fulfill an obligation already imposed on Congress by the Constitution! We fully expected it to “crash and burn.”

Continuting Resolutions: Senator Rubio issued a press release decrying the CRs:“I’m sorry to report that once again last night the Senate voted on yet ANOTHER (emphasis added) continuing resolution. Just another band-aid stop gap measure that only serves to avoid confronting our long term challenges with bold solutions. When I first got to here, I fought against the idea we could continue to run things this way. That these “CRs” as they are called, should remind us of how we got here in the first place. Why are we funding government in two or three week increments? Because when Democrats ran the House, Senate and the White House, they didn’t pass a budget.”

We would have to agree with the comments of the distinguished Senator. A line in the sand must be drawn. We must stand up and tell them “No More Spending”!

H.R.822 – National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011: A treasonous bill that was sponsored by Rep. Clifford Stearns, a Republican, that represents Florida’s 6th District for12 Terms! This bill is a very clever attempt by Republicans to have national gun control and violate states rights. We don’t need to federalize our Second Amendment Rights or weaken our states rights. The Federal Governments plan is simple regarding your second amendment rights: First, they want to “Register”, and next they want to “Regulate.” We can all imagine that in a very short time the Federal Government could require a national gun ID system that would make all state laws equal. In other words, they would ban all hi-capacity magazines and guns they deem “non-sporting.” We will say this only once – The Second Amendment is designed for The People to defend themselves against the government, f oreign invaders, etc. Hunting is not mentioned any where in the Constitution. Feel free to send an email to Rep. Stearns at paul.flusche or call him at (202) 225-5744.

Net Neutrality: FCC taking over the Internet: Many people don’t know this interesting tidbit, but “Net Neutrality” was initially started by the Bush Administration and now is being pushed by the Obama Administration. The Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Net Neutrality Act, passed last December, gives President Obama and the FCC power over the Internet. Every website you visit … every server you access … every blog you create … every bit of information you read … is about to come under the administration of the Federal Government. And, they can shut down any website they want, without judicial review! (Think about what happened in Egypt during the uprisings!). If you think this is an overstatement you would be wrong. Everyone should be interested in learning more about this issue and then taking action immediately.

PROTECT IP Act of 2011 – S.968: “PROTECT-IP Act” is a bipartisan bill (its always great to see the Republicans and Democrats working against the People) that has been introduced in the Senate and the House and is moving quickly through Congress. It gives the Federal Government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting “creativity”. The law would let the Federal Government and corporations censor entire sites– they just have to convince a judge that the site is “dedicated to copyright infringement.” The government has already wrongly shut down sites without any recourse to the site owner and has censored Facebook and other social networking sites! Under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it (think Youtube and Twitter) would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill. According to the Congressional Budget Office , this bill would cost us $47 million dollars a year that’s for a fix that won’t work, disrupts the internet, stifles innovation, shuts out diverse voices, censors the internet, and kills our freedom. This bill is bad for our future and does not protect your rights to free information or freedom of speech. Click Here for more information.

Quick economic view: The Euro is disappearing faster than donuts at a “Weight Watchers” meeting. The Bottom line is that Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain (PIGS) have too much sovereign debt. These countries are facing the realities that inevitably result from big government and lack of economic growth. Germany [who just confessed are NOT as stable as Italy] is largely holding up the house of cards and is looking for a way back to the Deutsch Mark. Germany is also attempting to revamp the EU agreement and force Great Britain to join and give up the Pound. The effect of Euro collapse on US markets will be larger than most expect because nearly 50% of our commercial paper is connected to the Euro. The Chinese have quietly increased their value of the zen. This will help ease some of the pain we predict that will be caused by super inflation.
