21 States Considering Legislation to Declare Soveignty

The are now 21 states that have proposed legislation to declare sovereignty, but Connecticut is not one of them. Some of the states have the bills posted on the net. Here is a list with the available links. The states are:

AZ, AL, AK, AR, CA, CO, GA, HI, ID, IN, KS, ME, MI, MO, MT, NH, NV, OK, PA, TX, & WA

CT Ballot Access Bill Introduced

The following is an email from the Green Party of Connecticut dealing with a ballot access bill that they were instrumental in getting introduced. If you can attend the hearing please do.

Greens,

Good News:

Today the GAE (Government And Elections) committee released HR 6436 in written form. I gave the bill to Atty. and CT Green Party co-chair Steve Fornier to look at earlier today. He says that the bill would reduce our state-wide office and congressional petitioning requirements to 1000 valid signatures (VS 7500 SIGNATURES OR 1% OF THE VOTES IN LAST ELECTION UNDER THE PRESENT LAW).

In the past we have been required to collect 7500 valid signatures to get on the ballot for president or for other state-wide office and we have had to collect over 3000 valid signatures for congress. The bill also requires the Sec. of the State to do all the checking of the signatures and takes the responsibility away from the town clerks.

The following link will direct you to a PDF of HB 6436: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2009/TOB/h/pdf/2009HB-06436-R00-HB.pdf.

Read it and let me know what you think!

There is going to be a public hearing on this bill VERY SOON. Here is the info from the GAE website:

Wednesday, February 18, 2009		Download to Calendar
9:30 AM	Government Administration and Elections Committee Meeting followed by a Public Hearing	LOB Room 2B

YOU NEED TO GET THERE AT 8AM TO SIGN UP TO SPEAK. THE PUBLIC HEARING SPEAKERS LIST IS AVAILABLE AT 8:30AM. IF YOU GET THERE EARLY

YOU CAN GET OUT VERY EARLY AND MOST OF THE REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE THERE TO HEAR YOUR TESTIMONY. THE WHOLE EVENT IS ON THE CT NETWORK,

ANOTHER WAY TO GET OUR MESSAGE OUT. THIS BILL CAME FROM THE CO-CHAIRS OF THE GAE COMMITTEE AFTER SEVERAL OF US MET WITH THEM

RECENTLY.

MAKE A SPECIAL EFFORT TO ATTEND THIS HEARING. IF THIS BILL PASSES IT WILL ABLE TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE TO THE GREEN

PARTY AND WILL REDUCE ONE OF MOST UNFAIR AND DISCRIMINATORY MINOR PARTY REQUIREMENTS FOR BALLOT ACCESS. CALL YOUR REP, AND

ASK THAT SHE OR HE SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION.

Sincerely,

Mike DeRosa

Ron Paul on the Stimulus

Ron Paul talks about the stimulus bill in this video.

How to Stimulate the Economy

A couple of ideas about how to stimulate the economy. These are not new. The have in fact been proposed by Democrats.
First in 2004 when John Kerry was running for president one of his talking points was that he would eliminate the tax breaks for companies that move out of the country. My only criticism of him at the time was that why didn't he propose it when the Democrats had control of both houses and Clinton was president. Now Obama is president and the Democrats have larger majorities in both houses. This is an idea that really would stimulate the economy.
Now in 2008 Obama campaigned on changing NAFTA. Well lets do it. This is another that would actually stimulate the economy if done right.
I am sure there are more are I really haven't thought that hard, but why haven't these ideas been brought up to stimulate the economy? Don't the Democrats really want to stimulate the economy?

Peter Schiff for US Senate

At this point we are supporting Peter Schiff for US Senate. Peter is considering seeking the Republican nomination for US Senate and we will support him in this effort and in the general election unless an better candidate steps forward. Shiff was an economic adviser on the Ron Paul presidential campaign and is the president of Euro Pacific Capital. I will occasionally be posting links to his commentary. Here is the first link.

The Second American Revolution

As I study more and more the battle for American independence and thus freedom and liberty I cannot consider lightly the role that the hand of God played. Outnumbered, out trained, out financed, etc. When I consider that a mere shift in the direction of the wind early on could have meant the annihilation of the the newly proclaimed United States of America less than 2 months after that proclamation. I cannot dismiss it merely as coincidence or fate as some historians do, but I must conclude that it was the hand of God.
This give me hope that though we are now subject to a government that in many ways is more tyrannical than that which we declared ourselves independent of in 1776. (Read the list of grievances against King George listed in the Declaration of Independence.) I believe freedom and liberty can once again be ours.
There are those who seek so called liberty and freedom so that they may use it for their own lascivious ends. I now realize that we will not see the hand of God as needed to accomplish a "second American revolution" if we align ourselves with those who will not honor God in their pursuit of liberty. They may follow but we must lead. This battle must first be waged from our churches. Those that claim the liberty which is in Christ must not fear the tyranny that our government threatens for expressing the ideals of freedom and liberty in an organized church setting. We for decades bashed the Soviet Union fro having registered churches. We have them here. We register for tax exempt status, then we allow the government to put restrictions on what we can and cannot say from the pulpit. Yes, now the restrictions are "political" confined mostly to what you can or cannot say about a candidate. But what is next?...Is it not even a stretch to believe they will soon try to tell us what we can say about so called political issues...abortion, homosexuality, etc. Then what?...Restrictions on what you can say about the Gospel. "I'm sorry you can't say that it is not inclusive enough" or "it's discriminatory."
We are outnumbered, we are out financed, we are out trained. But with the hand of God we can win this revolution. My fear is not that we can't win but that we won't fight. I do not think that with today's churches the first revolution would have been fought and that is my fear for the second revolution.
