An excellent article referencing the significance of rights

This article makes a point I failed to make when I spoke to the group last Tuesday. That point is that the arguments put forth by Republicans against currently debated legislation are as flawed as those of the Democrats because both embrace collectivism at the expense of individual rights. So long as elected officials embrace collectivism, the march to the left will continue.

Collectivist Republicans Losing Their Fight?

TeaPartyPatriots.org: Help fight national "health care" bill

Dear Fellow Patriot,

The calls you have been making this week are having an impact. Unfortunately, it seems that our voices are simply not quite loud enough. Speaker Pelosi has said that she has the votes to move the Health Care bill. So, we have to step it up a little bit more. Will you please joining us in emailing the Chiefs of Staff of the following moderate to conservative Democrats?

It is best if you email the… Continue

THANK YOU, Ed Freeman ... God Rest Your Soul

This forwarded to me from a Facebook note

Michael Jackson dies and it's 24/7 news coverage. A real American hero dies and not a mention of it in the news. The media has no honor and God is watching.

Ed Freeman

You're a 19-year-old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley, 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your… Continue

ALERT: Centre County Tax Press Conference; 15 July

This is potentially a complex issue because it represents a tax increase and the promise of a related property tax cut. On the face of it, this sounds just and reasonable, but in the real world of politics, things seldom what they appear. Without time to digest this issue, this organization cannot take a position. Therefore, we urge members to consider attending this press conference as 9-12 citizen reporters and asking some hard question. Then report back to the group with what you learn or… Continue

CENSUS: Civil Disobedience

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has been a tad concerned about responding to the 2010 Census. “If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that’s how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps,” she told Fox News last month.…
