BREAKING NEWS: Click here to find out what we're doing for Audit the Fed Mass Action Day in Georgia!
Welcome to Georgia!
The State of Georgia is comprised of 13 Congressional Districts (see sidebar) and 3274 precincts. As one of the original 13 colonies, Georgia sent a delegation to the 2nd Continental Congress for the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Georgia ratified the U.S. Constitution on January 2, 1788, becoming the fourth state to do so.
This is a quote by President Obama taken from the Washington Post. I happened to come across it via Google News.
"History tells us that job growth always lags behind economic growth, which is why we have to continue to pursue measures that will create new jobs," he said. "And I can promise you that I won't let up until the Americans who want to find work can find work."
To read, "until the Americans who WANT to find work can find work", is absolutely disgusting to me. This is one of the biggest reasons we are in the jobless situation to begin with. The "sheeple" are having their wings clipped in order to fit into the role "The Great Dependency" suggests of us.
It isn't helping our way of life when American citizens feel that is OK to "ride the system". In my opinion the only ones that have earned that right are the Soldiers, Airmen, Seamen, and Marines that have volunteered their time to this country. However, they will be among the first to be treated unfairly. The lazy, unproductive, leech-like citizen of today, with the help of the Fed, has successfully made it more difficult for the hard working, responsible citizen to reach their goals. This is utterly ridiculous. How can one stand there and claim that expanding the ability of Americans to sit on their ass and do nothing helps our economy. It is sad that they use us against ourselves.
It became apparent, with the Bailout(s) and the movement towards Universal Health Care, that our government no longer cares for those who provide the means to which they can continue thier assault on our freedoms. Is it not enough that we have already printed hundreds of billions of federal notes that will only drive our economy further into the red. Which, by the founding standards, are being used illegally. I find it hard to believe that one can do any amount of legitimate research, and find that our federal government is performing well for the tax payers. It continues to make horrible calls for the economy, and is again looking towards a Bailout.
We need to motivate more Americans to do right by themselves and others. I do not have an answer as to how we can fix these situations. I favor the road that moves towards less dependency and a more sound dollar. One which is backed by something of substance, and not digital references. If we continue down the road we currently travel, apathy will be our biggest enemy.

On a side note: I have recently ordered End the Fed by Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. I hope that this book is able to shed more light on the situation for my personal benefit. I welcome the day we recover our senses, and pay attention to the rules we have already established. I love the Constitution, and applaud the Independents who fight on its behalf.
Poll: If you worked or work for the Gov't, would you be willing to sacrifice your job in order to restore the Republic as defined by the Constitution?
On Monday, former Congressman Barr, along with Grover Norquist and David Keene released a joint statement supporting the proposal. In the interview, Barr discusses federal prisons, habeas corpus, and indefinite detention of these prisoners.
You can download the podcast here (13 minutes/12 MB). The introduction music is "Easy Skankin'" by Bob Marley, one of the former Congressman's favorite artists.
Racist, Nazi, greedy bastard, angry mob, AstroTurf, brown-shirt, unpatriotic, goon, heathen, liar, rich, skinhead, moron, gun nut, ignorant fool, manipulator. Those are sixteen words and phrases used to describe me, used by the media, in person, on the phone, and on the Internet in response to my opposition to ObamaCare. I think that I should note that these are the ones I can publish due to the tameness of language. Of the sixteen, I find only two to be accurate: angry mob and skinhead (only because I cut my hair REALLY short). Friends and acquaintances who have seen or heard these suggest that I collect them as trophies for my efforts. Needless to say, I have a thick skin when it comes to name-calling, mostly because I know what it really means. It means only one thing: I. Am. Winning.
I am winning because I inflict pain, the most effective stimulus on the 535 Congressmen in Washington, DC. Pain is also a stimulus that is easy to administer, as I seek to influence those spineless jellyfish. As I noted in last week's podcast, my passion for activism is renewed. I see the "debate" over ObamaCare dwindle into nothing more than name-calling of its opposition, making it harder for the statists to sway the people with their talking points and eloquent, though factually void, speeches. Instead, the statists are spending their time denouncing and attacking opponents like me, who want them to know that there is a price to be paid for bad political behavior. That price is the continued application of pain until ObamaCare or BaucusCare or whatever "compromise" bill is reached rests at the bottom of the circular file.
I continue to see and hear politicians and "in the tank" media discuss about how ineffective the opposition to ObamaCare is. I also see and hear them talk about the lack of ideas from "my side." If that is the case, why has HR 3200 not yet passed? If the ideas it contains are so great, why have its supporters continually lost support, both from the people and the politicians? Remember how hard most of us fought the bailouts last year for the two or three days leading up to the vote, where our opposition was squashed handily, and we were told by some legislators that "[they] know better." The key difference between then and now: THEY HAD THE VOTES. If they had them at any point prior, the bill would have been quickly passed and signed into law before the summer recess just like President Obama's instructions.
I guess my point is this, in America, there is no real debate, only the debate by the rules of the political class. You must play by their rules, using their words, in the format they decide. If you choose not to do this, you will be marginalized, ridiculed, called names, threatened, maybe even worse. There is no point in declaring that the media is against you. There is no point in debating the merits of your ideas and pointing out the flaws in theirs. There is no point in listening to them when you are told, "That is not how we do things around here?" or "You are hurting your own cause." Those statements are used by THEM to tell US to "piss off." When you submit to their rules and listen to their criticisms, you have already lost.
Sanford Bishop Jr., the Blue Dog Democrat representative from our very own 2nd Congressional District in Georgia agrees with H.R.1207 and a full Audit of the Federal Reserve. As the most recent congressman to support H.R.1207 from the state of Georgia, Bishop joins the ranks of the other 11 members of the House of Representatives and Both Senators from the state to call for full transparency in the actions of the Federal Reserve; thereby leaving one lone Democrat, Representative Jim Marshall from Georgia's 8th District, to oppose the legislation.
Bishop gave his support on October 27th, signaling his agreement with 75% of the American populace as shown in a recent Rasmussen Reports poll. His support is a victory and great step forward for all those C4L members and 2nd District citizens who spent countless hours calling, mailing, faxing his office for support then hand delivering over one thousand signed petitions in person to his several district offices.
The Campaign For Liberty and the members of Georgia's Second Congressional District should all be very proud of this accomplishment pushed forward by their support and actions. We need not forget to thank Congressman Bishop for his support.
This, however, is just the beginning. We must not lose focus or drive to perform the actions that are needed from here on out. We must use this victory to inspire us to keep working towards our goals to spread the message of Liberty and transparency in a constitutional government; in fact, I'm pretty sure one Representative Jim Marshall will be hearing that very message soon enough. Perhaps, like 75% of Americans, and all his fellow Representatives and Senators from the state, he will agree.
So you have been appointed as a County Coordinator. Chances are, you are one of the few Local Coordinators in your county, so you got the job. You're willing to serve, but unsure of exactly what you're supposed to be doing.
Allow me to introduce you to Robert McGee, the coordinator for Richmond County, Georgia. He's been appearing on local media, having regular meetings with activists, and generally making the organization known. Please see his latest posts, and get inspired!
