To All Texans

            If you love your state, love your country, and love being able to spend your money on what you are your family need rather than paying people to sit on the couch and watch TV, then read on. 

            Right now our Governor is leading the fight for each and every citizen in this great State of Texas to not end up paying half of their income in taxes due to the stimulus package.  He is inspiring others to follow him and to look closer at what the supposed stimulus package really is.  And he’s making it clear to the rest of the country what a governor is supposed to do—fight to protect his people, even from higher taxes.

            However, our Senate is fighting against him on the unemployment portion of the stimulus funds.  They passed a bill to go around the wishes of Governor Perry and take those funds any way.  This bill is now in the House.  WE MUST CALL OUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW!!! 

            They need to know that we don’t want to take additional funds from the Fed that will lock us into higher taxes for the duration, long after the federal funds are gone.  They need to know that the people don’t want higher taxes in this state.  They need to know that we don’t want to join the rest of the nation in being taxed into poverty and bankruptcy.  They need to know we support the Governor on this venture and that a vote against him is a vote against the citizens of Texas and they will be the ones finding themselves in the unemployment line in 2010.

            Go to http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/mnuAddress.aspx and find out who represents you then call them and let them know where you stand and that if they want to keep their job they will do it the way we the people of Texas tell them to.

I look at the title of this article and I wonder how far things have gone when our own Department of Homeland Security would issue a report to all law enforcement agencies calling conservatives and veterans "extremists" and threats to national security just because we disagree with her and Obama on the issues.

Since when did it become a crime to disagree with your President? It certainly wasn’t the case over the last 8 years or we wouldn’t have had to listen to the constant attacks on President Bush.

So, what makes Napolitano think that ostracizing such a large part of Americans is going to help this administration? Do you think their plan is to make it illegal to disagree with the usurper presently holding the office of the President? Something tells me that won’t work because they have obviously forgotten one thing the rest of us haven’t—the United States of America is a nation comprised of people who are willing to fight for freedom! And the best part is that in this case we can win the fight without firing a shot. All we have to do is exercise our right to vote and replace them—then we have won.

This Fiday night we will be talking with Ralph Benko during the 2nd segment from 11 until midnight eastern. Ralph is the author of "The Websters' Dictionary". Download your free copy today. http://www.thewebstersdictionary.com/

The Websters' Dictionary shows you how the big success stories in Web advocacy -- groups like MoveOn.org and Heritage.org, starting from very little achieved such massive success. And how you can, too.

This book lays it out from the basic to the sophisticated:

How to get a domain name (and what domain name to pick).

How to create a great website ... or select someone to do it for you.

What kind of site will let you use the power of Web 2.0 at the lowest possible cost.

What style gives you impact? What content works?

How much should you be prepared to spend?

What kind of team you need?

Best practices. Briefly, clearly, picturesquely and accurately stated.

This is the dawning of the Age of the Internet. Be part of it. Become a Webster -- an activist, an operative, or a wonk who uses the Web to transform the world.

BIO

Ralph Benko combines the best qualities of geek (fascination with technology, reads Wired Magazine) and wonk (immersion in the policy/advocacy process, reads Politico) with the ability to help normal people harness both. He is a principal of Capital City Partners, LLC of Washington DC, a respected public affairs firm. Benko founded the Prosperity Caucus gathering of supply-side and free-market economists; served on detail as a minor official in the White House under President Reagan; and is a populist conservative Republican (although some of his best friends are liberal Democrats). He speaks frequently on highly effective Web design, development, and management practices.

Because of his long fascination with all things Internet he is popularly known as "the Webster."

Join us as we talk about how to harness the power of the Internet.

How does it feel to be a part of history?!

We are all here exercising our 1^st Amendment Right to Free Speech as well as the Right to Peaceably Assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And let me tell ya’ folks, I have some grievances to redress.

For the past two decades our elected officials have spent more money than they had to spend which as of September 24, 2008 had us at 9.7 trillion dollars in debt.  Now just 7 months later they have spent an additional 3 trillion dollars and have taken that number to more than 11 trillion dollars in debt.  Instead of taking the path of fiscal responsibility and learning from their past mistakes, they have taken on the attitude of an irresponsible child with their first bank account.  That attitude says, “I can’t Be Broke---I still have checks left”.  Now they have passed a new budget that will leave us more than 21 trillion dollars in debt in less than 5 years.  This debt is unsustainable; the interest payments alone will be higher than the total tax dollars collected by the IRS. 

This will bankrupt the United States of America and I say “No---Not on my watch”

Transcript of Melissa Pehle-Hill's speech from the Tea Party in Tyler Texas.

First let me say I’m thrilled to see all of you here and I want to thank you for coming. It does my heart good to see people out here readying for the fight to regain our country.

So, how do you like the tour of Europe that Barack Obama went on? It looked like he was still campaigning, didn’t it? And that brings two questions to my mind—what is he campaigning for and why are we footing the bill? I ask these questions with the full realization that all Presidents visit foreign dignitaries after taking office, but in this case it is different. After all, all previous Presidents upon arriving in Normandy visited the graves of our fallen soldiers and he didn’t and none of them before were going around apologizing for the behavior of America, saying we are arrogant and that we don’t acknowledge the leadership role of Europe enough. Can you imagine the outrage from the Mass Media if President Bush had uttered those words in his sleep, let alone on foreign soil? Or President Clinton for that matter—considering they would actually likely know if he said it in his sleep.

And, I just have to add this before going back to talking about the misuse of our tax dollars—what do you think about our President bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia?

I found this post on Dick Morris's blog and could not help but comment.

On April 2, 2009, the work of July 4, 1776 was nullified at the meeting of the G-20 in London. The joint communiqué essentially announces a global economic union with uniform regulations and bylaws for all nations, including the United States. Henceforth, our SEC, Commodities Trading Commission, Federal Reserve Board and other regulators will have to march to the beat of drums pounded by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), a body of central bankers from each of the G-20 states and the European Union.

The mandate conferred on the FSB is remarkable for its scope and open-endedness. It is to set a “framework of internationally agreed high standards that a global financial system requires.” These standards are to include the extension of “regulation and oversight to all systemically important financial institutions, instruments, and markets…[including] systemically important hedge funds.”

Anyone who has been married for any length of time can identify with what I am about to say.

Aside from the physical aspects, there is a distinct difference between the way men think and the way women think. Trust me on this one.

As you know, if you have been reading this for some time, we just moved into another house. I won’t bore you with a repeat of the dangers associated with making the actual move. This week I’d like to cover a few things that have happened after the move.

The first is that women seem to think about a garbage disposal the same way as a man thinks about a chipper/shredder. The one in the house we moved into was the ever popular ‘weasel’ model and is about 1/3 horsepower. Barely enough to chew up wet paper towels. My loving wife is used to the giant industrial commercial grade one I had installed in our previous house. This was the 5 horsepower (Turbo-Destructor Model 9500) with the rope pull start cord which could be used in case of emergency. You could grind up a stump or angle iron if you needed to do so. I think you had to have some sort of national security clearance just to own one.
