Beware: "Free" medical care will kill you: [02/06/08 ] The great debate on medical care is taking place in this year's presidential campaign. Much is made of the fact that care costs too much and that government isn't doing enough to provide coverage for the poor and elderly. Be careful - you may regret ever-encouraging government - controlled medicine.

The STRIVE Act of 2007 [01/24/08 ] The "Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy Act of 2007" (H.R. 1645), or STRIVE Act, is another bill proposed by the 110th Congress under the guise of "comprehensive immigration reform." In truth, the STRIVE Act is not serious immigration reform; it is merely a rehash of "North American Cooperative Security Act" efforts in 2006. The STRIVE Act is a dangerous legislative proposal that advances the Security and Prosperity Partnership, and thus the North American Union!

Proposed polar bear listing threatens YOUR future!!: URGENT!! [01/22/08 ] The Department of the Interior and its Fish and Wildlife Service are getting ready to trample on your rights, drive up your cost of living, and regulate virtually every aspect of your life. You need to act immediately - or your energy and economic life will soon be dictated by climate change alarmists in government agencies, courts and environmental groups.

The SAVE Act Will Deliver America to Centralized Government Control! [11/23/07 ] It is imperative you contact your member of Congress. Also contact Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi; House Majority Whip, Steny Hoyer; House Minority Leader, John Boehner; and House Minority Whip, Roy Blunt. Congress will return from Thanksgiving recess on December 3, but congressional office staffers are working, so you can contact them right now. Call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the House office you request.

Patriots vs. Politicians [11/14/07 ] Many of the younger generation must be truly bewildered over the emotions older Americans display when expressing love, devotion, respect and reverence for our country. A tear in the eye for a patriotic song... a hand over the heart as the national anthem plays... a salute to the flag as it passes in a parade. Why would we older folks do that?

Stop H.R. 1483, the "Celebrating America's Heritage Act" [10/24/07 ] We wrote you last August asking you tell your U.S. Senators not to approve a series of bills establishing new National Heritage Areas, while establishing a national program. Unfortunately, the Senate did not listen. According to Peyton Knight, Director of the Center of environmental and Regulatory Affairs at the National Policy Center, "On Wednesday or Thursday of next week (October 24th or 25th), the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a massive national heritage area bill, H.R. 1483, the "Celebrating America's Heritage Act."

Anti-NAU Warriors Beginning to Move the Rock Uphill!! [10/17/07 ] Just a year ago most would have predicted there was no way to stop the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) which many believe will become a North American Union (NAU). The proponents are rich, powerful and determined. From the White House to huge, wealthy international corporations, these proponents of the SPP are used to getting their way. The little people back in their grassroots are just silly pawns to be manipulated or ignored.

More Volleys Needed to Sink Law of the Sea Treaty!!! [10/10/07 ] We have been fighting for years to prevent Senate ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This very objectionable treaty would put the United States in a de facto world government; it went into effect in 1994 but was never ratified by the U.S. Senate. Shocking as it is, President Bush is lobbying hard for passage of this massive, unprecedented redistribution of wealth from the United States to other countries. The Senate held a hearing last week, and is now poised to approve this treaty sometime before Congress' Christmas break. Please help us stop this very real threat to our sovereignty, security and economic health.

Why Illegal Immigration is a Threat to the United States...: And How Local Communities are Fighting Back [09/25/07 ] In June, 2007 a solid eighty percent of the American people let Congress know they wanted the government to put the brakes on illegal immigration; they turned thumbs down on the President's guest worker amnesty plan; and they wanted tax-paid services to illegals stopped.

Stop the Mexican Trucks!: Unsafe Mexican Trucks/Drivers Plowing Across U.S. Border [09/13/07 ] Commencing September 6, 2007, (or weeks ago according to the Mexican government) Mexican trucking companies will participate in a "pilot program," allowing them to send their drivers and cargo anywhere within the United States as the Bush administration complies with little known, and less discussed, parts of NAFTA that require all roads in the U.S., Canada and Mexico be open to carriers from all three countries. This pilot program will eventually allow 100 Mexican trucking companies unlimited access to the United States, without physical inspection at the border, safe equipment and practices, and without definitive proof that the drivers do not have criminal and/or drug use histories.

The Principles of Freedom vs. Public/Private Partnerships: Address Before the Freedom 21 National Conference, Dallas, Texas [08/15/07 ] "Freedom." We use that word a lot. Do we all really know what that word means? It's used in so many different ways. Do we understand how it is attained?

Most importantly, do we understand how it is used by some to actually take freedom away?

The Real Roots of Poverty [07/30/07 ] global poverty are staggering.

According to the United Nation's Millennium Project, there are currently 1.2 billion people living in poverty. 50,000 deaths per day occur worldwide as a result of poverty. Every year more than 10 million children die of hunger and preventable diseases. More than half of the world's population lives on less than $2 per day and 800 million people go to bed hungry every night.

Stupid Human Tricks: The Sad Case of the Spotted Owl [06/29/07 ] Environmentalists are quick to lecture the rest of us about the ways of nature. Don't clean the dead trees off the forest floor, it's natural. Cattle and horses on the range aren't native, so let the grizzles and wolves devour them, it's natural. Man isn't part of the ecology, lock him out of vast areas of land, it's natural. It's interesting to note how the "natural" argument only applies when it is used to impose the radical environmental agenda. Case in point, the Northern Spotted Owl.

Keep Raising Your Opposition to Amnesty Bill. Outrageous: President Bush Tells Senators to Ignore American People [06/19/07 ] Perhaps S. 1348, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 should be renamed the No Illegal Alien Left Behind Act. In a brazen attempt to contravene our representative Republic, President Bush is displaying his contempt for the will of the American people by seeking a path to passage of the Amnesty Bill. I know you thought we killed this outrageous piece of legislation last week.. We did. Now you must once again raise your voice, steadfastly, until the President and the U.S. Senate all get the message - NO AMNESTY FOR CRIMINAL ALIEN INVADERS!

Global Warming and its Evil Twin 'Climate Change' : Predictions Wrong on Both Counts [06/13/07 ] Global warming alarmists are a clever bunch. They have very carefully changed the issue from "global warming" to "climate change." Now any change in weather, be it mild winters or cool summers can be attributed to "climate change." Whatever the weather, the news is very bad.

Keep Up The Heat - Senate Wavering!: Senate's Immigration Reform Bill Includes Provision to Support SPP! [06/08/07 ] Senate offices are reporting a quantity of phone calls from angry constituents unlike any they have ever experienced. You and your fellow Americans continue daily to express outrage over the Senate's consideration of S. 1348, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007. Despite this unprecedented outcry from the American public, the Senate is marching on with its plans to pass this disastrous legislation. And Senator Ted Kennedy has offered an amendment that would enhance the Security & Prosperity Partnership and quite probably the formation of a North American Union. Clearly, you must turn up the heat even higher on your elected non-representatives. If this legislation becomes law of the land, we will lose the America we have known for well over two hundred years. The de facto elimination of our borders will destroy our national sovereignty, and the financial burden of this shamnesty bill will complete the nation's bankruptcy. You must re-double your efforts and drive a stake through the heart of this blood-sucking bill, or we will lose our nation; it's as simple as that.

Dawn of the Era of Common-ism [05/18/07 ] The lines used to be so clear. On one side were free markets, free societies and openly elected representative governments, normally defined as democracy. On the other, was the force of totalitarianism choking off individual initiative, private ownership of property, cynically providing a ballot box with but one choice, normally defined as Communism. In the end, the "Evil Empire" disintegrated under the weight of its own ignorance of human nature. Or did it?

Progress in the fight to stop the NAU and NAFTA Highway [05/08/07 ] A tiny but determined band of organizations and individuals are standing up to Goliath and are beginning to see his knees wobble. Goliath is the globalist-inspired Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) - better known as the North American Union (NAU) and the Trans Texas Corridor (TCC) - also know as the NAFTA Highway.

The Global Warming Debate: As the skeptics score points, the political climate starts to change [05/02/07 ] With great fanfare, in March, Al Gore took Capitol Hill like a conquering hero as he testified on Global Warming before both houses of Congress. Fresh from conquests at the Academy Awards where his adoring Hollywood elites showered him with coveted golden statues for spreading their favorite propaganda, Gore was determined to turn his personal conquest into draconian federal law and ultimate human misery.
