RAW MILK FREEDOM BILL - HR 1830 Action Item to Support Dr. Paul's Bill
Raw Milk Rally, Washington DC - May 16, 2011
Just back from a quick trip to DC (well, I was on the Fed Govt's Amtrak so it wasn't "quick"!) to interview Dr. Paul about one of his health and food freedom initiatives, the Raw Milk Freedom Bill, HR 1830.
Of course it's about more than raw milk (though natural nutrition is important!). It's about Freedom; it's about the Constitution; it's about Fed Govt Food Control... it's about Dr. Paul's strong leadership for Liberty.
"Most Americans understand that if you don't want to drink unpasteurized milk you simply do not buy it. But the federal government solution is pre-dawn raids which destroy the livelihoods of honest, hardworking families in this time of continued economic hardship.
I am outraged by [the April 2011 FDA armed] raid [on a peaceable Raw Milk producer] and the many others like it, and that is why last week I introduced HR 1830, a bill to allow the shipment and distribution of unpasteurized milk and milk products for human consumption across state lines. This legislation removes the unconstitutional restraint on farmers who wish to sell or otherwise distribute, and people who wish to consume, unpasteurized milk and milk products.
Many Americans have done their own research and come to the conclusion that unpasteurized milk is healthier than pasteurized milk. These Americans have the right to consume these products without having the federal government second-guess their judgment or thwart their wishes. If there are legitimate concerns about the safety of unpasteurized milk, those concerns should be addressed at the state and local level.
I am hoping my colleagues in the House will join me in promoting individual rights, the original intent of the Constitution, and federalism by cosponsoring this legislation to allow the interstate shipment of unpasteurized milk and milk products for human consumption.
If we are not even free anymore to decide something as basic as what we wish to eat or drink, how much freedom do we really have left?"
The Action Item asks your Members of Congress to become Co-Sponors of this important legislation. Many patriots rightly complain that the "Interstate Commerce Clause" of the Constitution has been misapplied to allow unprecedented Federal interventions in our private lives. Dr. Paul shows us where the Clause has its proper, limited application: promoting free trade among the States, rather than prohibiting, licensing and taxing...
And a final word from my co-trustee at Natural Solutions Foundation:
"YES! You DO own your own body and ought ot get to decide what goes into it! Despite the FDA's assertion that you have no such right, Dr. Paul and Natural Solutions Foundation know differently!" - Rima E. Laibow, MD
Thousands of C4L supporters have used our Action Item to send messages to Congress about the Raw Milk Freedom Bill... but we need hundreds of thousands to get the attention of Congress.

Will the GOP Hold the Line on the Federal Debt Limit? The Dollar Needs a Good Doctor!
"Refusing to raise the debt limit is likely to force the politicians to deal with entitlement reform and spending cuts today - not after the 2012 elections, when it might be too late. The patient is on life support, and serious medicine is needed. The Tea Party Patriots and the majority of the American public are demanding that the politicians do their job - and prescribe the tough medicine the nation needs instead of another useless placebo."

The Feds are about to illegally exceed the debt limit...
Treasury Auctions To Take US Over Debt Ceiling On Monday By Jeffrey Sparshott and Jeff Bater, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The Treasury Department auctioned $56 billion in new debt Tuesday and Wednesday, enough to take the U.S. over its federal debt ceiling when the three- and 10-year notes settle on Monday.
Treasury officials last month flagged May 16 as the day the government would hit the $14.294 trillion debt limit.
The U.S. is selling $72 billion in new debt over three days this week. The Treasury auctioned $32 billion in three-year notes Tuesday and $24 billion in 10-year notes Wednesday, and will sell $16 billion in 30-year bonds Thursday. All of the auctions will settle Monday.
As of Tuesday, total debt subject to the limit was $14.274 trillion, according to the Treasury Department.
The Obama administration has asked Congress to raise the limit, warning that failure to act could lead the government to default by Aug. 2--and could spook investors even before then.
House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) said Monday that any increase in the government's debt limit should be accompanied by trillions of dollars in spending cuts.
"It's true that allowing America to default would be irresponsible. But it would be more irresponsible to raise the debt limit without simultaneously taking dramatic steps to reduce spending and to reform the budget process," he said.
The federal budget deficit widened in April, with the government spending $ 40.49 billion more than it collected last month, a Treasury Department report said Wednesday.
The deficit was the 31st monthly shortfall in a row. With seven months of fiscal 2011 elapsed, the government has spent $869.90 billion more than it has collected.
Even the most aggressive plans wouldn't wipe out budget deficits for years, meaning that debt will continue to mount.

Boehner cozies up to Wall Street?
5.11.11 - "House Speaker John Boehner will tell Wall Street leaders tonight that it would be "irresponsible" to let the U.S. default on its debt and even more so to raise the government's borrowing limit without "dramatic steps" to reduce spending.Boehner also will say that spending cuts should be greater than any increase in the federal debt limit, according to excerpts released by his office of the Ohio Republican's planned speech to the Economic Club of New York."
We must make sure the House GOP majority knows that we will consider it so far beyond irresponsible to raise the debt limit, that if they vote for even one penny more debt, they will be targeted for retirement in 2012, no matter how many "good" votes they may cast hereafter. Action Item here:
Daily Action Item to Stop the Rush to Bankruptcy and Hyperinflation NOW!
We still have the tatters of the Constitution, the First Amendment included. We can still Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances. We've shown repeatedly that PUSH BACK WORKS!
When millions of Americans tell it to Congress, our voices are heard. When only a few hundred thousand message them, they go about their usual business.
So far, our Action Item (below) has generated tens of thousands of messages, but in past Action Items we generated millions. It was those items that had verifiable impact on the Fed govt's behavior.
Many others are also helping people communicate with Congress on this issue. Other patriot groups are also providing ways to message our reps. Groups like DownsizeDC and Campaign for Liberty have their own action items. We can flood Congress with the message: NOT ONE PENNY MORE FEDERAL DEBT! (as Judge Napolitano put it...)
We need everyone to send these links to everyone they know. Here is one to use:
US Chambers of Commerce join the Debt-Addicted, calling for an "expeditious" increase in the Fed Debt Limit. The Chambers support Fed Establishment efforts to burden our children's future to control our present...
<blockquote>
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce waded into the fight over increasing the government’s borrowing limit on Friday by urging members of Congress to raise the debt ceiling “as expeditiously as possible.â€
The business community’s chief lobby in Washington made the case in a letter to lawmakers signed by Bruce Josten, the group’s head of government affairs, arguing that failure to pass legislation authorizing an increase in borrowing by Aug. 4 “would create uncertainty and fear, and threaten the credit rating of the United States.â€
As conservative critics of raising the debt-limit grow louder and louder, the White House and Republican congressional leaders need groups like the Chamber along with small banks and businesses in members’ districts, to persuade lawmakers that default would be a huge blow to credit markets, crippling the economy.
The challenge, of course, is showing that this sky-is-falling message is different from similar warnings in the fall of 2008, when Wall Street and a Republican White House convinced lawmakers to give the Treasury secretary the authority to invest $700 billion in propping up faltering banks and other troubled financial institutions. Most conservatives revile the Troubled Asset Relief Program, despite its apparent effectiveness and significantly lower costs to the government.
The rumor on the Hill is that the GOP House "leadership" is about to "compromise" with the other branch of the tax-eater party (known as the Democrats) to yet again increase the Federal Debt Ceiling... about the 41st time in 50 years (before the invention of the "ceiling" Congress had to take political responsibility for each and every issue of Treasury Bonds).
In this one issue, the Fed Debt Limit, the House GOP majority rules. They do not need any approval from the Senate, the current White House occupant, or even the Federal Reserve... a simple House majority can "Just say NO!" and refuse to vote any debt limit increase.
This is a no-brainer: either the GOP is with us or they are against us. This is the line in the sand. This is the issue that proves whether the GOP is serious about supporting the campaign to restore the Republic and Liberty or is just playing politics with our children's future, in order to control our present.
Even Fox reported that 62% of those polled a few weeks ago said, "Close it down!" rather than raise the Debt Ceiling. If the GOP stands with the Tea Party Movement on this issue, the GOP will have the support of a strong majority of Americans. If they "compromise" with the Federal Establishment, they are not on the side of We the People.
Remember what the doctors Paul and Judge Napolitano have made really clear: NOT ONE PENNY MORE BORROWING!
It's bad enough if the RINOs and neocons in the GOP betray us; it is so much worse when those who claim to be our friends in the GOP get ready to sell us out the very first chance they get!
If the GOP House majority stands firm on the Debt Limit, what will happen?
Geitner threatens to cut off Fed Funding and Borrowing to the States -- THAT'S GOOD! Let the States be free of Federal money control!
Interest rates for govt borrowing may go up -- THAT'S GOOD, since Uncle Sam is a debt-addicted, poor credit risk!
The Democrats will refuse to adopt a Federal Budget and the central govt will have to close down (except for "essential services") -- OH B'RER FOX, PLEASE DON'T THROW ME IN THAT BRIER PATCH!
The Debt Limit issue, this year, may be the one moment we have when We the People can force fundamental change on a corrupt, crony-addled central government, forcing a return to the Constitutional Republic.
Fail on this issue... and what then? Hyperinflation and chaos.
I have ye little faith in the GOP even with those in the Tea Party and one of my senate critter's has already declined supporting my request to NOT RAISE THE DEBT limit, and the other has not responded. My Congressmen is not a critter, he is a traitor and I refuse to write him because I refuse to hear his agenda one more time.
Of course I responded again declining that is acceptable to this senator but I expect 0 and about the same as I expect from the GOP.
Education has run us into a toilet by delusion and no education at all. When we become unable to compare good results from bad results and make that choice stick are we a lost society.
I personally think we are going to have to KICK some GOP BUTT, and leave them with a taste in their mouths they will not forget for turning their backs upon us.
STOP THE HYPERINFLATION! NO FED DEBT "LIMIT"* INCREASE!
ENOUGH HAND-RINGING ALREADY! IT'S TIME TO PUSH BACK HARD!
We've proven over and over that if millions PUSH BACK the politicos back off! Specifically, Health Freedom USA used its Educate Decision Makers system to good effect several times over the past two years; two of those times 3.5 million and 6 million emails to decision makers got important results [1 - the fake "Swine Flu" pandemic did not get triggered by the weaponized "Swine Flu vaccine" and 2 - the Fed Food Control law that got passed by the lame ducks in 2010 was a good deal less tyrannical than the bill they started with in '09]. Other pro-liberty "special issue" groups have had similar successes. So can C4L!
We need to "draw a line in the sand" over the one issue where a mere majority of the House can prevail: the "Fed Debt Limit" increase!
GOP House Budget would borrow another $5.5 Trillion against our children's future to control our present. We need to PUSH BACK hard!
We're only getting thousands of messages through our Educate Decision Makers system; we need millions in order to save our children's trillions!
If we can prevail by holding the line on the Debt Ceiling, the Freedom Movement will have proven its clout yet again... and, in politics, clout begets clout!
Campaigners for Liberty, it is up to you!
* I put the word "Limit" in quotes because Congress has raised the "limit" 40 times in 50 years; it has never refused to raise the "limit" -- when is a "limit" not a limit? When politicians have their grubby hands in our pockets! Before the invention of the Fed Debt "Limit" Congress had to take political responsibility each time the Treasury wanted to issue more bonds. Now, that's how things should be done in a Constitutional Republic and would lead back Fiscal Responsibility!
