I believe that the way to get our Republic back is educate the people. Our Constitution isn't taught in school anymore. So we have to be the ones to teach the people about the Constitution, their Constitutional rights and what they must, and can do, to gain back their freedoms and maintain them.
Then we must lead by example. We must get a person in every public office that will do their job as Mayor, Judge, Marshall, State Legislator and Congressman.They must do their job and listen to the people or be recalled.
We must be active in our own community. Through being involved the way we are meant to be, we will take back our great Republic and be truly free.
Through action we will prevail!

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." ~ Constitution of the United States of America, Amendment 1
When does free speech become a problem? Is it when you disagree with the person speaking? Or is there another reason?
To be honest, there is no problem with free speech. There are only problems with the people that are listening to what you say. I've heard it said before that yes, you have a right to free speech just not where I can hear you. The truth is I have a right to say what I want where I want. You have the right not to listen.
I very seldom watch mainstream media. I don't like listening to people's opinion as if they are fact. Journalists are NOT supposed to give their opinion, they are supposed to give the facts and that's it. Nothing more!
However, Sunday, November 8th, I decided to watch CNN to listen to the health care bill spin. When I turned it on, Don Lemon was on. He touched on several topics, including the Ft. Hood incident. This is where I got mad and was promptly reminded of why I don't watch mainstream media.
Mr. Lemon did a piece on Radical Muslim's, particularly one group called Revolution Muslims. This group praised the Ft. Hood shooter. As I'm sure you have figured out, this group believes that all that do not believe as they do should die, especially Americans. Now, some of what The Revolution Muslims said is true. Our troops DO need to leave all foreign lands. Our tyrannical government DOES need to be removed from power and given back to the people. However, should innocent people die? No. Violence is never the answer. But that is not what this article is about. This article is about free speech.
In the video you will see The Revolution Muslims on the streets of New York exercising their free speech. They are out on the streets preaching what they believe. And yes, they are in front of a mosque, whose leaders do not believe in violence.
Can the Revolution Muslims do that? Absolutely! That is what free speech is. That is not what bothered me about this piece. What bothered me is what Mr. Lemon said after the video of the Muslims. Drew Griffin (who did the investigation) says with disheartened tones, "Law enforcement says they know their Constitutional Rights. They walk right up to that line of protection under the free speech amendment, and they stop short of crossing it, and all law enforcement can do is watch." To which Don Lemon replies, "And that's a right that is guaranteed here, and that is sort of the problem, the issue that comes with this."
Free speech is NOT a problem. It is a right guaranteed to us by God and written down by the Founding Fathers to ensure that that right is never taken from us. Everyone has the same right to speak their mind, no matter what. Do you have to believe what the other says? No. You don't even have to listen to what the other person says. But you do have to understand that everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe, has to right to say it.
So, the answer to: "When does free speech become a problem?" Is... NEVER! If you don't like what someone is saying then don't listen.
When you first read this you may think, "How funny".
However, it's not funny. Why? Because it's 100% correct. That's right, the government taxs you on all this and more.
When did all of this start, you may ask. Well, ask no more. The answer is the "Federal Reserve Act of 1913". This is when the Federal Reserve Bank was created and they took control of the money. And they will not be happy till they have all of your hard eraned money.
Don't you just love your Government
The Tax Poem
Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes Are the rule.
Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway!
Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think.
Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears.
Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass.
Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid.
Put these words Upon his tomb, 'Taxes drove me to my doom...'
When he's gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world..
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids..
What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'Federal Reserve Act of 1913'?
And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!
Thanks Heather. I'm a very poor poet at best... but here is my chance to practice some prose!
The 'Federal Reserve' is nothing new
There was a 'Central Bank' or Two..
Within our shores - and met their doom.
Jefferson and Jackson canned both their asses
The 'Fed' will End by WE The Masses!!
All Governments/Empires in the History of Mankind have done the same thing. When they can't TAX the People anymore [for fear of revolt] they resort to fiat money to keep their Empire. Alas, this is their final breath.

I called Sen. Landrieu and Sen. Vitter today to talk to them about Cap & Trade. I, of course, told them both that they need to vote "No" on the bill. Without hesitation, I was told that they both already plan to. WOOO HOOOO!!!
However, I do believe that we still need to call, email and fax them everyday till the bill is brought up for vote. Remind them everyday that we don't want this bill to pass. Otherwise, one of them might change their mind.
That's cool man, I called Landrieu on Monday. I said that is the easiest vote to make: NAY... I think I must have convinced her. I made her phone operator write down arguing points. I also said: "Stop the PASS act, and co-sponsor Federal Reserve Sunshine Act."
Here goes the government taking control of just one more private industry. You think it would be enough that our government has control over all the money and automobiles. But no, our socialist government has to control everything. This is just sick.
I do agree that smoking is bad for your health. But giving the FDA control over the industry is not the answer. The answer, as always, is education. Education on what tobacco is. What products other then nicotine is in the cigarettes. What smoking can do to your lungs and vocal cords.
What happened to free will? The choice to chose what you do with your own body? Our Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves. They fought to give us the right to chose, and now we are allowing our government to take those choices from us.
Call your Congressmen today, I know I will. Let them know that this bill, HR 1256, is an infringement on your rights, on your free will.
Remember, everyone has a right to make their own choices.
