McCain Bill a Threat to Health Freedom

Republicans once championed liberty against overbearing federal interference in the realm of dietary supplements, but the man who helped bring us McCain-Feingold is now pushing a bill that would assault this precious freedom. But many Americans have begun to stand against it.

Reason TV takes a look at how prices have come down over time and quality has improved in the Lasik eye surgery market due to less government interference.

It's time to try true reforms, as called for in our Operation Health Freedom plan, to put consumers back in control of their health care decisions.

Obama to Continue Health Care Talks

Bookmark and Share  
Posted by Matt Hawes on 02/08/10

According to the U.K.'s Guardian:

Barack Obama will make a fresh push this month to get his troubled health reform package through Congress by holding a meeting with both Democrats and Republicans aimed at finding common ground.

The half-day of discussion, to be held at Blair House opposite the White House, is to be carried live on television to counter public criticism that too many deals in Washington are made behind closed doors....

Read the rest.

The discussion should be interesting to watch, if nothing else but for the ways both Obama and congressional leaders try to get around saying what they actually think while on camera.

Last year, Campaign for Liberty made a big impact at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). This year, we're looking to show the political establishment that the freedom movement is stronger than ever!

Taking place February 18-20 in Washington, D.C., CPAC's three day series of events will bring together thousands of conservative and libertarian activists.

In addition to the C4L volunteers who are coming in from all across the country to help us spread our message, we've assembled a top-notch roster of speakers who will be participating in a wide variety of activities, including panel discussions, speeches, book signings, and private briefings.

Activities include:

- A book signing with Congressman Ron Paul after his speech to the main CPAC audience

- "Lincoln on Liberty: Friend or Foe?" with Thomas DiLorenzo

- "When All Else Fails: Nullification and State Resistance to Federal Tyranny" with Tom Woods

- A book signing and speech by reporter and Obamanomics author Tim Carney

- A Friday night private briefing and speech by former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson

- A Thursday night event with Dr. Paul, Judge Napolitano, and Tom Woods, including a question and answer time

These are only some of the events we have scheduled.

Time is running out, however, on our discounted tickets and lodging. The deadline to purchase our discounted tickets and lodging packages is this Monday, February 8, at 5 pm eastern.

Click here for more information on our events and how to buy tickets.

With so many excellent speakers, C4L volunteers from across the country, and a packed agenda of activities, C4L at CPAC 2010 is guaranteed to be a refreshing time of education, interaction, and fun.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Americans reject Keynesian economics

Bookmark and Share  
Posted by Doug.Bach on 02/06/10

This is promising news from the Illinois Review:

Rasmussen Reports that few Americans agree that increasing national debt is the way to make the nation's economy stronger:

While influential 20th Century economist John Maynard Keynes would say it's best to increase deficit spending in tough economic times, only 11% of American adults agree and think the nation needs to increase its deficit spending at this time. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 70% disagree and say it would be better to cut the deficit.

In fact, 59% think Keynes had it backwards and that increasing the deficit at this time would hurt the economy rather than help.

To help the economy, most Americans (56%) believe that cutting the deficit is the way to go.

Eighty-three percent (83%) of Americans, in fact, say the size of the federal budget deficit is due more to the unwillingness of politicians to cut government spending than to the reluctance of taxpayers to pay more in taxes.

Maybe Republicans should begin referring to Democrats as "Keynesian liberals"?

Killing Americans as "Defined Policy"

Bookmark and Share  
Posted by Phil Giraldi on 02/04/10

I was shocked by yesterday's House Intelligence Committee comments by Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair and am astonished that his statement is not the featured front page item in every news medium today.  Blair said  that US citizens abroad might be killed by CIA or the Defense Department if they are "taking action that threatens Americans."  He added that in so doing the government would "follow a set of defined policy and legal procedures that are very carefully observed" and described the policy as designed to "protect most of the country." 

Well, I guess it's just tough luck if you're not one of the "most" while a "defined policy" being overseen by a Washington bureaucrat whose mission is to kill terrorists might reassure some. One recalls, however, that Washington officials approved waterboarding, secret prisons, and extraordinary rendition.  I must admit to having a problem with extrajudicial killing unless someone is absolutely caught in flagrante in a murderous act because, as a former intelligence officer, I know full well how bad intelligence can be.  Would we be killing someone without any due process just because someone else bearing a grudge manages to plant some false info, as has occurred all too often in Afghanistan?  If it is true that something like 19 civilians die in drone strikes for every bad guy we manage to get, there is something seriously wrong with the intelligence and about the system in general. 

And who makes the judgment of what constitutes something that "threatens Americans"?  Blair went on to explain that being targeted might be based on being "involved in a group that is trying to attack us."  Involved?  What does that mean?  That would seem to be a First Amendment issue to me.  If I send $5 to an apparent charity that turns out to be a part of Hezbollah can I expect a black helicopter overhead in minutes?  The Blair comment is particularly scary in that it is a complete denial of the rights guaranteed to US citizens, including the right to a fair trial.   It is also an admission that the White House sees such targeted killings as perfectly acceptable.  I would add that no one on the Intelligence Committee protested much either.  When a government is selectively targeting and killing its own citizens isn't it a sign that something is very, very wrong? -Phil Giraldi, American Conservative Defense Alliance
