Heirs of Liberty Press : Heirs of Liberty Press - Healthy Americans Act

Wed, 20 May 2009 00:39:20 +0000

Excellent article here. There was only one possible plus to this act, which is a bipartisan compromise proposed by a Democrat and a Republican senator. It is supposed to break apart the corporate hold on health insurance by making the required individual plans the way to freer choice, hmm. This would allow people to shop around for a bargain rather than having to go with their employer's group plan, thus theoretically forcing down prices--always a good thing. This good just cannot outweigh the evils you describe here. Besides, after reading the HAPI (reminiscent of peace, love, and HAPIness, man) health plan, I can't find the positives like keeping your plan when changing employers OR individual choice, which I read in the May 9 issue of World Magazine (worldmag.com), Thanks for this summary for those of us with limited legalese capabilities.

I am sorry to say, we personally do not have that kind of money. How many stamps? How many brochures, tea bags, letters...? My dream was to reach every member of Congress (535), even occassionally. That runs $235 per message. As I posted previously, fax looked like a way to go if I can get it up and running. Then I speculate how long it will be before they disengage their fax machines like they have already done with their emails, which are only accepted from constituents now. In the long run, I believe major protests in the streets will be our ONLY recourse, if the insane spending and socialistic legislation does not stop. I hope we can't imagine how angry we will be if our sources of REAL INFORMATION are silenced! In the meantime, keep talking, people, AND NOT JUST HERE! Talk to.....them

Carefully, so as not to become astro-turf rather than the grassroots we NEED to be. I wholly agree that we must stop talking amongst ourselves. I had hopes of setting up my computer to be able to fax all 535 members of Congress at once, plus President and VP, Supreme Court...but alas, hit a wall. I came across Congfax@CS.com (202-789-2009) who will fax for organizations or individuals at 25 cents/page. Too much money for one person to contact our government on a regular basis. This leads to our dilemma. We need to be more powerful than letter writing to a rep and two senators. But if we organize behind a large organization, we will be minimized as meaningless ditto heads, which is why, I suppose, the radio/TV people can't rally us together and lead us themselves. Grassroots means baby steps. Wish there were more.

The dilema for a grassroots movement like this one is that when we are encouraged to write, it is only one small voice to three people...a very insignificant cog in the wheel. Frustration sets in; need to do more! I would suggest to the Senior Brigade to put a message together and fax it to every last person in power. The double-bind is the looming accusation that we're astro-turfing if we work together. Maybe that's the idea behind it. The only way I have seen people power at its best is when the radio heads "suggest" we all write at once. Warroom dot com, our radio head, puts out marching orders. Also, Digital March guy, Rob in Adairsville, has been trying to gather a following for mass messaging. It's got to be a united, organized front. What did Glenn say? They need to be very afraid of US!

Heirs of Liberty Press : Heirs of Liberty Press - Grassroots Candidacy: Is It Possible to Win?

Mon, 4 May 2009 21:10:41 +0000

Perhaps Judge Napolitano has it right. It will have to be a third party candidate, which makes it harder. Or maybe easier. The Donkeys and the Elephants have WAY TOO MUCH power to control the winner in the primaries, with their endorsements. I have a friend on the local committee who found out just how top down it really is. She went to some state function where things were to be decided, except the jury was in before the meeting ever opened. How discouraging is that? The third party idea is tough because the media would destroy the campaign, mostly by ignoring it. Whatever happened to Bob Barr? Right? Glenn Beck was full throttle over on Headline News. Fox was mum, along with the msm. You are right...Chaffetz gives us hope in a hopeless place.

This is absolutely why we must choose OUR words very carefully. The "Conservatives" of today are transforming our language daily, with their plethora of bills: Universal (not socialized) health care...volunteer campuses (not camps)...hate speech (not opposing opinion)...hate crimes (not crime, period)...bailouts (not government takeovers or fascism)...right to choose (not right to kill)...

Talk amongst yourselves. I, on the other hand, want to SCREAM at Washington, as in DIGITAL MARCH! ! have been trying to figure out a way to affordably contact ALL OF CONGRESS about the health care issue, for I am distressed.(You might have noticed) Now let me get this straight: We are encouraged to ONLY write to our rep and two senators (as discovered in Googling). Organizations, on the other hand have the ability to petition all members, as they should. But when those supposed "organizations" rally, read TEA PARTY, then the message is negated as "astro turfing". So. let me see, IF WE ORGANIZE, we're damned and if we don't, we have a tiny voice to our three congress people, and yes, we're damned. How are we supposed to SURROUND THEM?

"Can't" or WON'T handle dissent! We are in trouble but this is not a new thing. Liberalism is an oppressive ideology. We dare not forget the remarkable words of Al Gore, "The debate is OVER!" It's over when WE are all dead like the hundred million or so victims of communism. You are aware of the Larry Grathwohl infiltration of Billy Ayers' Weather Underground where Mr. Grathwohl, army vet and former FBI informant, actually heard words to the effect that when the estimated 25 million capitalists FAIL their re-education (like the one to which Rick Santelli has reportedly been sent), they shall have to be eliminated. "And when I say eliminate, I mean kill (25,000,000 people)." ~No Place to Hide, an 80's documentary

I like these ideas. We've thought of some already but not others so there's some new stuff with which to work. In reference to #4, I think we need to be much more specific when discussing whether a person honors their Constitutional oath because of the vast differences in interpretation in which those who are not strict constructionalists engage. I would almost bet that Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, when questioned, would assert that they were honoring their oaths of office. They need to be pinned down on specific issues such as whether they believe the bailouts are an unethical use of tax money bordering on theft or do they believe that an indvidual(not militia) has the right to bear arms, etc. I like this site, keep up the good work

Your need to unite the efforts is commendable. One thought as I read your inspiring idea is that if the Sons of Liberty had had internet capabilities, would it have helped or hindered them. The overwhelming speed of everyone talking and a few listening has put a challenge on organization. Pistolmom, at 912 Project, has a calendar website at calendar9-12 dot blogspot dot com. This is an invaluable tool. Also, warroom dot com posts marching orders and events. I agree that the many organizations, especially the ones that can take on the courts, if united, could bring the house down. Jay Sekulow (Am. Center for Law and Justice), David Barton (Wallbuilders), and Alan Sears (Alliance Defense Fund) are solid. Judicial Watch and the NRA, for example, are on the secular front. The larger organizations need us to rally behind them but then there is the threat of a Nancy Pelosi "astro turf" attack. Anywho, be encouraged to do whatever it is you are trying to do here. We personally are not leading anything at the moment or we would jump at the chance to lead the march!

Thank you, SweeChee. I am hoping too. Education is the single most important issue in the taking back of our country, even ahead of the media bias. An informed people will be able to discern the lies but our universities and schools are simply feeding the machine...to our own destruction.

Nearly all the books found in home school catalogs and workshops were incredibly enlightening and made me very aware of my own miseducation in the 60's public schools. Joy Hakim's A History of US is the series that showed us what a great job those other books had done!

Hi! I'm the other half of galtjohngalt. It seems every time I enter into a discussion with one of you anti-Christians I need to do a civics lesson. First of all, I don't see why the discussion should be limited to your parameters since they are so narrow. Any Christian will tell you that God and Christ are interchangeable. You want only the Constitution discussed but no "personal letters". If you limit any discussion of history to documents only you erase half of it's meaning. That said, how about other public records directly related to the Constitution like the Mayflower Compact, "...Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and the advancement of the Christian [note Christian, not God] Faith..." From the Constitution itself, Article 1, section7: "If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted)..." Sunday is the Christian sabbath. Finally, 1931, the U.S. Supreme Court stated: "We are a Christian people, according to one another the equal right of religious freedom and acknowledge with reverence the duty of obedience to the will of God."

ALL WORLDVIEWS involve faith of some sort. The removal of the faith of the Founders (Christian) leaves atheism, humanism, or some other worldview to influence our Constitution, ie transnationalism. Those "individual rights" are endowed to us by our Creator. If you take the God of the Bible out of the equation, then from whence do those rights come from? THE STATE. And when that is the case, which it has been for some time now, THE STATE giveth and it taketh away. God IS the higher law to which our courts and legislators are supposed to answer. That's not mob rule; it's submission to natural law as originally intended by the writers of amendment one. Ah well, you who get it, will and you who don't, won't.

A thought on Going Galt: Washington and our state governments are exasperating the point of the Galt Movement. THEY are shrinking the economy by gorging themselves on the U.S. dollar. The effect of our self-denial, pulling back our resources from their grubby hands, will be hastened by their greed for power. I mean, the effort on our part is to starve the government, but be forewarned, the storehouses will empty, even without the help of John Galt. The thinkers, the Tea Party attendees, know it. Why don't they?

THEY DON'T GET IT! AND HERE'S PROOF. Obama was unaware of Tea Parties...hmmmm. Tea Parties were a direct result of Washington beng unaware! I read the Right-bashers are happy some of us, like Michelle Malkin, are encouraging Going Galt, a movement to reduce wealth production as long as the government want to use it for the benefit of those who aren't producing: the now exploding welfare state. "They" think it will make more room for the unemployed, proving their ignorance. Wealth producers ARE THE EMPLOYERS and it is high time they learn it the hard way. GO GALT!

it was a great showing, considering how many more the crowds stood for. For example, Pittsburgh had one on Saturday, (we attended) on a holiday weekend. Then PIttsburgh had another on tax day, Apr. 15th, at noon while we were at our jobs. How many do you think wanted to be there but couldn't bring themselves to call off work? Rain is a pathetic excuse but we the people of the sort who care enough to BE THERE, also have a tremendous work ethic. I am still wondering what "going galt" will look like. And if we gather no more attention from them than, "I didn't know" or "it was an astro-turf down movement". THEY WILL BE ASKING, 'WHO IS JOHN GALT?"
