The House Financial Services Committee, headed by chairman Barney Frank, just passed a bill (all committee Democrats voted for it and all but 2 committee Republicans voted against it) permitting it to proceed to the House for a vote to make it law. The “Pay for Performance Act of 2009″ would enable the Treasury Department, headed by Secretary Timothy Geithner, to set the salary of EVERY employee working for ANY company that receives a capitalist investment from the U.S. government, INCLUDING the ability to supercede existing contracts and compensation/salary agreements as the Treasury department “sees fit”. Look’s like Barney Frank and his liberal buddies are well on their way to making every one of us a ward of the “state”.

Senator Offers Amendment to Limit U.S. Currency Change

America's Gotta Know, Constitution, Economy, Timothy Geithner / No Comments

Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary, opened the door with his statement on Wednesday when he said he was “quite open” to considering a global currency standard which would, in effect, eliminate the U.S. dollar. In response to this statement, which, incidentally, represents a totally reversal of Geithner’s opinion on this topic as stated in direct response to her public question to him on Tuesday, Senator Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) has offered Congressional legislation in the form of an Amendment to the Constitution which would limit the powers of the President and his Administration from unilaterally entering into any agreement that would supplant the United States dollar with some other international currency.

The amendment as stated: “The president may not enter into a treaty or other international agreement that would provide for the United States to adopt as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States.”

Tax Day Revolts Scheduled… What Then?

Tax Day Tea Parties including Harrisburg’s
Tax Day April 15th is fast approaching and the fiscally responsible Americans among us are preparing for a peaceful, yet forceful, demonstration of their dissatisfaction with Congress’ partisan and socialist private sector bailout (and socialist takeover), economic stimulus (entitlement spending the likes the U.S. has never seen) and budget legislation (which, in even the most conservative estimates, triples the national debt that existed during the Bush Administration) already passed or currently being proposed, which is encouraged and endorsed by the Obama Administration. The liberally biased mainstream media, who is invested too heavily in the Obama Administration’s success, predominantly refuses to report this rapidly growing capitalist revolution, dismissing its proponents as the lunatic fringe of the conservative movement, despite the significant numbers of concerned Americans that have been flooding the streets for capitalist tea party rallies in a growing number of American cities. President Obama, although he won’t acknowledge it publicly, realizes the challenge to his socialist agenda that this peaceful revolution represents because the premise for it is data-based and grounded in history, in fact, he has gone viral. He has perpetrated an aggressive email video campaign to his “followers” professing the benefits of his endorsed excessive spending and is asking these individuals to knock on doors and influence their neighbors to give his plan a chance.

Despite the mainstream media’s failure to do their job, please see for yourself how pervasive this movement truly is. Here is a link to a site which is keeping track of all the Tax Day Tea Party rallies scheduled to be held across the U.S. on April 15th…

Calling for an American Capitalist March on Washington
These demonstrations are just encouragement and a spring board, however, for the vigilance that each of us who are concerned about our country’s future must maintain on a daily basis including factually influencing our friends, family, neighbors and congressional leaders to the danger this administration’s fiscal policies pose to the American way of life. The same life that responsible, hard-working, productive Americans have contributed toward and benefitted from for over 230 years. Ours and our children’s livelihood, that for which extremely brave Americans have valiantly fought and many have distinguishably died, is under assault. We cannot permit it to be vanquished by politically-oriented, career-motivated, power-mongering politicians who are sequestered secretly in some smoke-filled room making decisions over a cup of coffee that will impact you, me and ours forever.  

Take charge of a like-minded initiative in your community. My aspiration is that, within the next 60 days, this conservative activism metamorphosizes into an American Capitalist March on Washington, a peaceful, yet persuasive, demonstration large enough to dwarf Obama’s recent 1.5 million person inauguration turnout, such as to bring so much nationwide and worldwide attention that it cannot be ignored or dismissed by anyone. This is the only way to redirect the partisanly liberal Congress’ rubber stamping of every Obama Administration fiscal initiative.

Please join me in this patently American fight worth fighting.

What Does a Trillion Dollars Look Like Anyway?

As you know, the Obama Administration has been throwing around alot of huge dollar amounts in their proposals for bailouts and budgets. In line with 50 being the new 40, I guess trillion is the new billion?

Anyway, here’s a link to a site that does a good job at putting this into visual perspective…

House Bill Proposed to Uphold Constitution

Posted by Greg Garrett on March 24, 2009
America's Gotta Know, Barack Obama, Constitution / No Comments

The Obama Administration continues to elude the issue of Obama’s eligibility to be President per Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution due to his STILL undocumented natural born U.S. citizenship. This time it is being presented by a member of the House of Representatives in the form of a bill to be applied to future candidates for President. Not surprisingly, he is being castigated by the liberal media and his congressional colleagues. As with most issues today, these self-proclaimed intellectual elite are more content with creating a non persuasive smoke screen than addressing the actual issue, particularly when they can take the opportunity to dance around or on the Constitution.

President Obama, please just show us your actual U.S. state birth certificate (not some Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii that I could get for myself if I wanted one bad enough) and we’ll all go away.

Citizens of the United States, in my humble opinion, don’t hold your breath.

The Real “Inconvenient Truth”

Posted by Greg Garrett on March 23, 2009
America's Gotta Know, Climate Change / No Comments

It’s just terrible for some when those pesky scientific data-based facts get in the way of an, otherwise, perfect scenario on which to mandate additional government control. This is particularly true for former Vice President Al Gore and the United Nation’s Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change, co-recipients of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

I guess Al and his panel of scientific “experts” might be interested in the “inconvenient truth” (at least, for them) that real scientific experts who actually deal with data have found that we are in the midst of a global cooling trend and that in five of the last seven decades since World War II, including this one, global temperatures have actually dropped despite increasing carbon dioxide levels.

Can Quo Warranto Resolve Obama Eligibility Issue?

Posted by Greg Garrett on March 11, 2009
America's Gotta Know, Barack Obama, Constitution / No Comments

Obama’s U.S. Natural Born Citizenship in Question

Congress Being Sued Over Obama’s U.S. Citizenship

 

According to www.constitution.org, “the common law writ of quo warranto has been suppressed at the federal level in the United States, and deprecated at the state level, but remains a right under the Ninth Amendment which was understood and presumed by the Founders, and which affords the only judicial remedy for violations of the Constitution by public officials and agents”.

 

Can quo warranto be the last bastion of hope for due process to resolve the Obama eligibility for President issue? After all, lawsuits have been filed all over the country by reputable individuals to no avail. According to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, however, the case would be heard under quo warranto by the Supreme Court if four of the nine justices could be convinced of its worthiness.

Our Money’s Hard at Work Funding Obama Parties

Posted by Greg Garrett on March 08, 2009
America's Gotta Know, Barack Obama, Economy, Pork Barrel Spending / No Comments

Well, I guess it’s not enough that President Obama has approved your hard earned tax dollars to be used to fund sundry pork barrel projects that have nothing even remotely to do with economic stimulus, as well as to save every company and individual who has made poor financial decisions. He’s, also, using our money to turn the White House into a nightclub to be enjoyed by his family, friends and well-connected celebrities that, when considering the pace at which they are being held, causes the chronicled Clinton Administration escapades of this sort to pale in comparison

I guess when you have an entitlement mentality, it stands to reason that you are believe you are, also, entitled to be taken care of by the taxpayer. It’s just sad when a President can’t even exhibit the same restraint and make the concessions that he’s requesting of us hard-working individuals who are paying his salary and, I guess, his and his friends’ bar tab, too. I guess the 600,000 who lost their jobs in February will understand, though.

Revolution is Brewing: Harrisburg Tea Party

Were you impressed by Rick Santelli’s rant last week at CME Group in Chicago. Well, he’s stirred some things up with his mention of coordinating a Chicago Tea Party in July. This has generated similar enthusiam in many cities across the country, including Harrisburg.

  1.  
    1. Are You troubled with the recent actions of our elected officials? 
      1. Are you frustrated by austentatious & gratuitous government pork barrel and socialistic spending masquerading as economic stimulus and jobs legislation?
      2. Are you tired of the never ending litany of government bailouts of private companies who have placed themselves in position of imminent failure due to poor business practices (ie. wasting your hard earned tax dollars on companies who are destined to fail anyway)?
      3. Are you sick of your tax money being controlled and used at discretion by the very same political characters whose complicit behavior, poor decision making ability and/or lack of action led to the failure of the mortgage market which led to the ultimate collapse of the entire real estate structure and all lending markets?
      4. Do you think it is ridiculous that illegal immigrants are being granted opportunities, rights and government funding that is out of reach for U.S. citizens?
      5. Do you believe it is ludicrous that President Obama believes he can convince the job creators in this country to hire us out of the recession then come back in two years and increase their taxes to the 60%+ range including eliminating the interest reduction on their mortgage and increasing capital gains taxes to around 40%?
      6. Is your intelligence offended by the Obama Administration and liberal members of Congress looking down upon you saying that they know what you need better than you know what you need and that we’ll be able to spend our way out of a poor economy despite the fact that it’s never successfully been accomplished before in the history of the world?
      7. Are you exasperated when hearing Obama Administration officials saying that America voted for change therefore they have a mandate to do so in whatever manner they see fit, despite the pesky fact that the popular vote was extremely close at 54% to 46%, far from a referendum?

Then do something about it and here’s a place to start
Be at Harrisburg at noon on Saturday to find out how you can join the grass roots conservative and capitalist revolution to take our country back. Make the statement that you will not permit our great nation to be destroyed by socialist economic policies that have recently left many European countries in shambles, who are now grasping for capitalism to save themselves. OK, here’s the scoop…
