We now have a Total Gangster Government
Through bailout and Tarp, we now have government-controlled banks and car companies. Obama recently introducted 20+ various "Tzars". What does all this mean? Hear it for yourself! Great VID of a speech by Michelle Bachmann, (R) Minn.!

Stop Cap and Trade! Call (202) 224-3121.
June 24, 2009
Dear Friend of Liberty,
Congress is trying to skyrocket your cost of living while putting another 1 million-plus Americans out of work. And they want to do it before the week is out.
You see, the “Cap-and-Trade” bill currently in the House is really nothing more than a thinly disguised energy tax that will hit every single American.
And now Nancy Pelosi and Congressional Democrats are pushing this tax hike toward a vote that could come as soon as Friday.
That’s why we need to act now.
I have included the number for the Congressional switchboard, but first I want you to understand the disastrous consequences of this Cap-and-Tax Scheme.
By invasively manipulating an already over-regulated energy industry, this legislation seeks to fix an alleged problem that has recently been discredited by over 31,478 scientists -- including over 3,803 with specific expertise in atmospheric, earth, and environmental sciences.
All 31,478 of these scientists are trained to understand and evaluate the scientific data relevant to the human-caused global warming hypothesis -- and are speaking out against government “remedies.”
With this bill, Congress is once again just doing what it does best -- fleecing taxpayers to further an alarmist agenda.
You see, energy companies just pass the costs of these draconian regulations through to the consumer in the form of huge price increases.
As a result, you will pay higher gas prices, higher electric prices, and higher costs for goods.
Barack Obama has estimated the costs of this legislation to American taxpayers to be over 650 BILLION dollars over the next eight years, and that figure is no doubt just a fraction of the real cost.
But even that modest estimate amounts to hundreds of dollars a year in increased living expenses for every family -- and will more likely cost thousands a year.
And according to the Heritage Foundation, between 1.2 and 2.3 million jobs could be lost over the next ten-years due to the bill’s stifling regulations.
This current economic crisis is no time for Congress to consider both raising prices on hard-working Americans AND costing them jobs.
That’s why we must act now to send a message to Congress to reject this disastrous Cap-and-Tax Scheme.
You can reach the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Call and ask for your Representative's office. Politely but firmly tell their office that you are opposed to this costly government power grab.
Supporters of the legislation are of course trying to downplay the cost of this scheme to the American people.
But if the bill does not directly and massively increase energy costs to consumers, how would it possibly achieve its stated aims?
It is only through these massive cost increases -- mandated and enforced by the federal government -- that the dubious goal of reducing carbon emissions could possibly be reached. The only alternative to huge energy price increases would be massive, government-ordered power outages, leaving Americans literally in-the-dark like some war-torn Third World Country.
So please call the Congressoinal switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to reach your Representative's office and speak out in opposition to this hidden tax.
You’ve shown what an impact grassroots action can make toward Auditing the Fed.
Let’s unleash that same R3volution in opposition to this Big Government Cap-and-Tax Scheme.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. Congress is trying to skyrocket your cost of living with hidden “taxes” from the Cap-and-Trade Bill. Call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to reach your Representative's office and speak out in opposition of this hidden tax hike and expansion of Big Government.
Ron Paul Video on Healthcare Takeover
This medical doctor does not like ObamaCare!
 As both a defender of Liberty and a Medical Doctor, I’m very concerned about the plans the Obama Administration and many in Congress have to increase the government’s role in healthcare. Medical decisions being made by government bureaucrats, loss of privacy of medical data, and our ability to keep our own insurance and doctors are all up for grabs once Congress starts moving on these government takeover and rationing schemes. But the good news is you and I can fight back. Because you’ve joined me in battle before, I wanted you to be among the first people contacted by Campaign for Liberty in their fight against this federal power grab of our healthcare. As you may know, Campaign for Liberty is carrying the Revolution forward and is leading the fight in Congress and all across the country, mobilizing Patriots to battle. This battle against government-run healthcare is one I sincerely hope you will join. Please watch this video I recorded to in response to this Government Healthcare Takeover Plan. And if you have not already, please take a careful look at the letter below from Campaign for Liberty’s President, John Tate, and do all you can to help our fight for freedom. For Liberty,  Congressman Ron Paul |

Happy Birthday, ACORN! Need more federal grants?
Got this from Michelle Bachman today; She was denied the debate in
the Senate about ACORN. Do you really want this organization to get
federal grant funds? Help spread the word that
US taxpayers do NOT want to support an organization convicted
of voters fraud in 12 states! --Matt
Obama's Health Scare Plan
Update: Huffington post reported today on Canadians headed to USA for care:

Got this message from Ron Paul today. Just imagine, what if someone
knocks on your door and you hear these scary words:
"I'm from the government and I am here to help"
what if these words came from your doctor?
If that scares you too, you must read and act! --Matt
As both a defender of Liberty and a Medical Doctor, I’m very concerned about the plans the Obama Administration and many in Congress have to increase the government’s role in healthcare.

Please take a careful look at the letter below from Campaign for Liberty’s President, John Tate, and do all you can to help our fight for freedom.
For Liberty,
Congressman Ron Paul
P.S. As I sat down to write this to you, President Obama and the House Democrats announced a deal to pass his healthcare power grab through the House no later than July 31. It’s even more urgent you read the letter below and take action TODAY!
Dear Friend of Liberty:
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
If these words send a shiver up your spine now... just wait.
What if the next time you hear that, it’s your doctor?
What if it’s the person who decides if you get a life-saving procedure?
If that scares you as much as it scares me, I hope you’ll sumbit the petition below to Congress IMMEDIATELY.
And I hope you’ll join Campaign for Liberty’s fight against this government takeover of our healthcare system by making a generous donation as well.
I'll give you the link for petition in just a moment, but first let me explain how urgent this effort is.
As you’ll see, there’s no time to waste.
You and I must DEMAND President Obama and Congress back off their healthcare rationing Scheme and other plans for government intervention.
There’s no telling when Congress may act to implement their European-style takeover of medicine, so there’s absolutely NO time to waste.
If passed, not only could the $1.5 TRILLION federal government takeover of healthcare be the last straw to bankrupt our country, but it would also:
*** Hand control of our healthcare industry to an unelected federal board who will take charge of deciding who gets medical care -- and who doesn’t;
*** End medical privacy by establishing a nationwide Medical Record Database, allowing virtually anyone in the medical-industrial complex -- even those in foreign countries -- to access your personal medical records WITHOUT your consent;
*** End private health insurance by herding hardworking Americans into a government-sanctioned health insurance boondoggle;
*** Dramatically raise taxes by counting health benefits as “income,” or by forcing businesses and uninsured workers to pay for officially sanctioned insurance.
*** Allow for even more government intrusion into our personal lives by paving the way for bureaucrats to tell us what we can and can’t eat, drink and smoke, like New York City’s ban on smoking and “unapproved” fats in food.
I can tell you my friend; there has never in our history been a more imminent danger of government-run healthcare becoming the law of the land.
That’s why it’s vital you act TODAY!
You see -- two major events have come together to assist their diabolical plans to take over our healthcare.
First, as you know, international banksters and their allies in our federal government raided our Treasury, stole our tax dollars, and nearly sank our economy.
This job-destroying recession - largely caused by an out of control Federal Reserve, Congress and Wall Street - has caused far too many families to have to worry about their jobs – and their healthcare.
And then, just as millions of Americans were feeling the effects of this troubled economy, large-scale fear was foisted upon us by government agencies thirsty for more power and control over our lives.
You see, after radically overhyping the threat to U.S. citizens from the swine flu, the government now believes you are ready to be led to “safety.”
They believe all they have to do is constantly harp about the “high cost of healthcare” and American citizens will instantly fall in line behind their scheme to “take care of us.”
But of course, you and I both know we didn’t get here by accident and we didn’t get here in only the last few months.
The truth is, the answer to our problems is NOT more government involvement in healthcare.
The answer is LESS -- so the free market can inexpensively and efficiently distribute much-needed healthcare services to ALL American citizens.
But, of course, that’s not what those in power in Washington D.C. really want.
After all, that would mean they’d have less POWER and less CONTROL over our lives -- and power and control are EXACTLY what this fight is all about.
You see, this Government Healthcare Takeover and Rationing Scheme strikes at the heart of EVERYTHING you and I hold dear.
You and I believe American citizens ARE NOT cattle to be poked, prodded and herded like livestock by government bureaucrats who “know what’s best for us.”
But under their Big Government Healthcare power grab, you’ll be nothing more than a dehumanized statistic -- a number on a piece of paper.
The Federal Healthcare Rationing Board will make THEIR decisions on what healthcare you and your family receive based not on what YOU or your doctor decide is best . . .
. . . But on what THEY decide is best.
Isn’t your life really worth saving? What about your family’s?
Well, the Obama Administration and their Big Government allies in both parties think you’re too “personally invested” to answer those questions “objectively.”
So they want their own handpicked, Washington, D.C. bureaucrats to answer them for you.
And if you don’t like their decisions?
Well, hopefully you can live with them -- literally.
If that scares you as much as it scares me, I hope you’ll submit the Petition to Congress opposing any Government takeover of healthcare.
Campaign for Liberty will gather these Petitions from hundreds of thousands of supporters nationwide, and use them as part of a huge grassroots blitz on Washington in opposition to government-run healthcare.
You and I must lead this fight to stop the government from taking over yet another area of our lives.
You see, Campaign for Liberty supporters know first-hand what happens when out of control bureaucrats are left to make decisions that impact our freedom.
Think about what that means for your healthcare.
What do you think will happen under a government run healthcare system if your political or religious views happen to be “undesirable?”
What about if you own a gun?
You know, after seeing all those government memos accusing freedom-loving, law-abiding citizens of being “terrorists,” do you really want to find out?
Just like in that case, while we may wonder about the full extent of their schemes, we need only look at what they’re willing to say publicly for clues as to their intentions.
You see, the advocates for government-run healthcare are not at all afraid to say they want a socialized healthcare system like Canada’s.
And you and I know what the government takeover of healthcare in other countries has brought them.
There, folks have to wait over four months just to see a specialist -- and over SIX MONTHS for simple surgical procedures!
Can you imagine that? Is that really what we want for ourselves and our families?
Well, Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty strongly say “NO!”
But as it stands now, not enough Americans understand what’s at stake for them and their families.
That means our backs are TRULY against the wall.
The good news in this fight is that IF you and I show Americans what Government Health Care is really all about, we CAN defeat it.
But to succeed, it’s up to you and me to flood the White House and Congress with a TIDAL WAVE of public opposition.
That’s why Campaign for Liberty is pulling out all the stops to inform folks about the facts -- and urge them to express their outrage to Washington, D.C.
We’ll start with these Petitions, which we’ll gather and deliver in the coming weeks. But of course, that won’t be all.
E-mail blasts. Blogs. Direct mail. Phone banking.
Town halls, meet-ups, leaflet drops.
Newspaper, radio and television ads.
Media and PR blitzes from Campaign for Liberty staff and supporters.
But such an extensive program isn’t cheap.
And it’s the ONLY way we’re going to defeat further erosions of our freedoms and the government’s takeover of our healthcare.
So in addition to submitting a signed Petition, please make your most generous contribution of $250
The truth is, without your IMMEDIATE action, I’m afraid there just won’t be enough time or money to do everything that needs to be done.
And I’m sure you’ll agree, this is not a fight you and I can afford to lose. And that no one can bring the heat quite like you and your fellow Patriots. Just look at how much progress we are making toward Auditing the Fed!
So please click here to submit your petition along with a contribution of $250
Power-hungry politicians in Washington, D.C. are intent on ramming this bill into law before the American people realize what’s at stake.
That’s why we may not have much time.
So please click here to submit your Petition and generous contribution of $250
Sincerely,
John F. Tate
President
P.S. The Federal Government is poised to hand over your healthcare, your medical records, and decisions over even life and death to unelected bureaucrats.
There’s not a moment to waste if you want to keep your freedom, your doctor, even the power to decide whether you receive life-saving medical care.
Please join Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty today in our fight to stop a Big Government takeover of Healthcare, before it’s too late!
Ron Paul Texas BBQ, You're invited!
Got this from Ron Paul today. For proponents of liberty, and sensible
foreign policy only! -Matt
Dear Friend,
My family and I have a tradition; we kick off each re-election campaign with a down-home Texas Barbecue for friends and supporters. This year, I hope you can join us.
As the Congressional race for 2010 winds up, I want you to mark Saturday, August 15 on your calendar and hope you can set the date aside to join me in Galveston, Texas, a beautiful part of my home district. I have reserved space in the San Luis Conference Center, located on the Galveston Seawall overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. I am sure you will be as impressed as I am by the hard work and determination my neighbors in Galveston have put into rebuilding after the tragedy of Hurricane Ike.
We plan to enjoy great food, music, special guests and of course, have a lot of fun. Galveston is a great place to visit, and Carol and I are very proud to show it off to you. It is also a wonderful spot to get away for a night or the weekend, so we are working with hotels on the island to secure discounted room rates.
There are two opponents planning to run against me in the upcoming primary. Both are gearing up to attack me for defending the principles you and I hold dear: liberty, limited government and a sensible foreign policy. But, if you help me with a strong show of support, we will take the wind right out of their sails and have a great time while we do it!
Again, please mark August 15 on your calendar. More information about our Barbecue will be coming soon by email and on www.RonPaulforCongress.com. Together, we can make this a tremendous event.
In Liberty,
Ron Paul
Support Rand Paul for Senate in KY
Unexpectedly got an email from Ron Paul today. A very touching story of
an American family that unconditionally believes in liberty and well-controlled
governments. Read up and donate to Rand - the son of Ron. Rand recentlycompleted a successful MoneyBomb, attracting over $50,000 in donations! -- Matt
[Update: He recently raised $600,000 for his campaign in another money bomb!]
Dear Friend,
My son, Rand, has helped me campaign since he was 11. He and his brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews have literally knocked on thousands of doors for me.
At the age of 21, Rand debated Phil Gramm in my US Senate race in my stead. During the Presidential election he traveled to ten states giving speeches for me. He appeared on hundreds of radio programs for me. I am grateful for his contribution and very proud of the thoughtful, principled man Rand has become.
So, it is with great enthusiasm that I endorse my son Rand's venture into electoral politics. Rand has formed an exploratory committee to run for Senate in Kentucky. Sending Rand to Washington would be a tremendous victory for the Freedom Movement.
I hope you will join me in supporting Rand in any way you feel comfortable. You can get more information or make a contribution at www.randpaul2010.com
Rand has also established himself as a significant force in Kentucky politics. For fifteen years he has run Kentucky Taxpayers United, a group that rates the state legislature and promotes the Taxpayer Protection Pledge whereby candidates and office holders take a pledge not to raise taxes.
Like me, Rand is a graduate of Duke Medical School. Rand is an eye surgeon, married for eighteen years, and has three children. In addition to politics, he is the founder of the Southern Kentucky Lions Eye Clinic that provides free care for those in need.
I hope you will visit Rand's website, www.randpaul2010.com, and consider supporting him in any way you can.
In Liberty,
Ron Paul
Ron Paul's Prophetic Words on Automakers
As we reported in December, Ron Paul's idea was to let
Automakers go bankrupt in December, without the bailouts.
Instead $15 Billions and more were paid from US Citizen's
money, and GM car company is still going bankrupt.
Here's the link to a December post:
http://echoesofwisdom.blogspot.com/2008/12/bailout-battles-continue-small-victory.html
And here is what I wrote in December:
Ron Paul takes the mask off of the Auto Bailout: The fat cats and the unions
are looking to keep their retirement benefits and all their bonuses.
Too bad, we'll probably still have to see them go bankrupt. Hopefully sooner
rather than later.
Here's the original article:
December 12, 2008
Dear fellow Patriot,
Small piece of good news out of Washington last night!
After the House of Representatives rubberstamped a $15 billion bailout package for Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler in a 237-170 mostly party line vote, bailout proceedings croaked in the Senate last night.
