Sarah Palin to visit Washington PA
NEW YORK - Sarah Palin's book tour, which will include a stop in South Strabane Township, is a gift for her base. No stops are planned in Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles or other major cities and book-buying communities that are standard for authors on the road, but where the voters tend to be Democrats.

A letter, email, and phone call is due to all of our servants in DC to remind them that they work for us. They should begin packing their bags or join the Re-Founders of America in ending the corruption in DC.
Be a Watchdog for America. Any of you who work or circulate in areas of government or in business where you know of corruption even down to the local level, please get the information to GB. We all have to be part of the Re-Founders by stepping up.
If any of the women in the group will be in New York on Thursday, email GB ASAP to be on his show of "9/12 Moms".

American Founders Luncheon Sept 22 Dwtn Pittsburgh
The American founders frequently alluded to and quoted the Bible in their political rhetoric. This fact alone reveals little about how and for what purposes the founding generation used the Bible and, importantly, how the Bible influenced the political thought of the founding era.
Drawing on some of the most familiar rhetoric of the founding era, our American Founders Luncheon speaker, Dr. Daniel Dreisbach of American University, will examine the founders' diverse uses of Scripture in political discourse. Recognizing the founders' distinct uses of scripture is important because it can be misleading to read spiritual meaning into purely political or rhetorical uses of the Bible or vice versa.

And who will suffer the most when our government rations care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course.

Tap Water Issue
Take Action to Protect Pennsylvania's Drinking Water!
Protect your drinking water from pollution
Ask your State Senator to support the Safer Drinking Water Act.
Drinking water sources have little special protection in Pennsylvania from pollution. In fact, millions of residents drink from rivers that are the lowest quality in the state, some not even meeting federal Clean Water Act standards. Polluters can discharge some chemicals into our waterways without limit, requiring expensive treatment by drinking water plants to remove the contaminants. Every year, we site chemical storage tanks or gas stations near our public wells and river intakes without thinking that leaks and accidents could contaminate our drinking water.
A pristine trout stream in Pennsylvania receives much more protection from pollution than the average stream providing our drinking water. While we want to make sure our fishing spots are protected, our families deserve protection as well!
We need your help - take action to protect Pennsylvania's drinking water sources!
On Earth Day, eighteen Pennsylvania State Senators introduced SB 777, state legislation that would protect rivers, streams, and aquifers (groundwater) that supply our public drinking water.
This bill, the Safer Drinking Water Act, will provide special protection to any water that supplies the public with its drinking water.
Send an e-mail and let your Pennsylvania State Senator know that you want them to support the Safer Drinking Water Act and push for a vote in the State Senate soon.
Thanks for your help!

Reminder: The two Republicans who didn’t vote: Jeff Flake (AZ) and John Sullivan (OK). Our Country is more important than a beauty pageant. Sullivan should have found his way to the vote.
Flake had a “family conflict” (his daughter was supposedly in a beauty pageant in Alabama on Saturday and Sullivan is going through alcohol treatment. Dem. Rep. Patrick Kennedy was pulled out of rehab to cast his vote.
Not One Red Cent should go to any legislator who voted in favor of Cap & Trade.
You will remember this in 2010 as our economy will be in shambles.

The Full Text of the Cap & Trade (tax) Bill
While most news coverage was focused on Michael Jackson, the House quietly passed this 932 page Bill that had over 300 pages of add on details which were added in the last hours.
It is impossible that our legislators read this bill in its entirety due to time restrictions thereby risking our economic future in America with their negligence to due diligence.
According to the Wall Street Journal, "The hit to GDP is the real threat in this bill. The whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less. These higher prices will show up not just in electricity bills or at the gas station but in every manufactured good, from food to cars. Consumers will cut back on spending, which in turn will cut back on production, which results in fewer jobs created or higher unemployment. Some companies will instead move their operations overseas, with the same result.
The reality is that cost estimates for climate legislation are as unreliable as the models predicting climate change. What comes out of the computer is a function of what politicians type in. A better indicator might be what other countries are already experiencing. Britain's Taxpayer Alliance estimates the average family there is paying nearly $1,300 a year in green taxes for carbon-cutting programs in effect only a few years.
Americans should know that those Members who vote for this climate bill are voting for what is likely to be the biggest tax in American history."Read through the bill in its full naked truth.
You will be dismayed to learn the details which have not been reported by CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, or MSNBC or other similar networks.
http://www.heritage.org/Research/EnergyandEnvironment/upload/hr2454-text.pdf
As Americans continue to sit idly by as if the freedoms and prosperity we have enjoyed the past 200 + years will continue, one by one, those same freedoms and prosperity are being eliminated by our legislators in Washington. Only by acting within our states by imposing "States Rights" and calling for a "Constitutional Convention" can this be stopped.
The gamut has been laid down. We must take it up.

Cap & Trade *** Health Care
Tomorrow, Friday, June 26th will be the beginning of the end of our country as we know it should the Congress pass the Cap & Trade Bill which is huge Tax Legislation that will drive American jobs overseas, cause a tremendous surge in fuel costs, and make YOU pay a lot more tax. The Health Care Bill is also going to be voted on tomorrow. Our government has admitted they have no way to fund the Health Care Bill in its current form which is in the Trillions of Dollars. Do you have any idea of how big a Trillion is? We can show you.
Did you know most of the legislators who signed both stimulus bills never read them? Do you think they will read these and all the add ons when they reach the floor for a vote? Hold them accountable. Demand they listen to your voice!
Write your legislator today! Call your legislator today! Fax your legislator today!
Political preferences have no home when it comes to legislation that will ruin our lives.
Please contact your senators and congressmen.
Forward this link to everyone in your address book. We wouldn't ask you to do this if it wasn't so important. It's time for all of us to step up to the plate.

Fed Finance Regulatory System Changes Proposed
Wednesday, June 03, 2009
House Members Finalizing Proposal to Overhaul Financial Regulatory System
House Republicans are finalizing their plan to overhaul the financial regulatory system, which would direct failing companies into bankruptcy instead of bailouts and would strip the Federal Reserve of its oversight authority on the financial industry, according to people close to the discussions.
These people described the plan as one that “stops rewarding failure,” ensures “taxpayers are never again asked to pick up the tab for bad bets on Wall Street” and restores “market discipline.”
Republican members of the House Financial Services Committee are aiming to complete their proposal with House Republican leadership by Tuesday. House Democrats and the Obama Administration are writing the details of their proposals, perhaps announcing their reform bill in the next couple of weeks, according to Administration officials.
The Republican plan offers direct opposition to the creation of a systemic risk regulator and granting the government resolution authority -- two integral components of regulatory reform backed by the White House, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, House and Senate leadership, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
The Republican plan calls for the creation of a Consumer Protection and Market Stability Board instead of a systemic risk regulator, according to people close to the negotiations. The board would monitor the economy for regulatory gaps and report that information to Congress and existing regulatory agencies. It would have no enforcement authority.
The House Republican proposal would also subject the Federal Reserve to audits by the Government Accountability Office, and strips it of many of its oversight and consumer protection powers and transfers them to other agencies. The plan would also combine the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision, according to people close to the negotiations.
The House Republican proposal also challenges the idea of a systemic risk regulator. This plan calls for failing, systemically important companies to go through the existing bankruptcy process. The proposal would create a new chapter in the bankruptcy code to allow judges to halt claims by creditors to avoid runs on the company, according to people close to the negotiations.
The proposal would end the conservatorships of Fannie Mae (FNM: 0.69, -0.01, -1.43%) and Freddie Mac (FRE: 0.7464, -0.0247, -3.2%) -- longstanding Republican targets -- in the next two years, and mandate they transform into fully private institutions.
The proposal also calls for stricter oversight of credit-rating firms and stronger authority for government agencies to enforce consumer protections.

Chrysler files for bankruptcy, UAW will own 55%
This after $6.4 billion was given to Chrysler in Tarp funds. The federal government agreed to give Chrysler 55% ownership and up to $8 billion in additional aid and to back its warranties. The UAW will get $4.6 billion and 9% interest plus $600million in legacy cost (retirees), all from the Taxpayers. They also get 1 director on the board.
The Taxpayer, You & Me, get 8% ownership in the new Chrysler. Chrysler owed the Taxpayers $4 billion from the TARP funds plus $300 million in fees. The Taxpayers got $0.00 in the bankruptcy settlement from those loans. Congress will get to select 4 Directors for the new board.
Canada UAW will get 1 director for the board.
Congress has bilked the American Taxpayers with this deal with the UAW and Chrysler. Remember, when the TARP loans were explained to us, we were assured the Taxpayers would make a profit on the monies loaned to the Auto Companies and the Banks.
We have been stiffed.
Next on the block is GM. The word is that GM UAW will get as generous a deal as Chrysler UAW was given.
One would think our media source would report this bilking of the American Taxpayers. Don't they pay tax too?

Acorn accused of Fraud now in 12 States
ACORN, present and former ACORN employees or its third-party voter registration affiliates are under investigation for or facing charges of voter registration fraud now in 12 states (Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin).
In addition to the twelve states identified by the Wall Street Journal, allegations regarding ACORN misconduct have also arisen in Louisiana, Minnesota and Virginia.
ACORN Housing Corporation (AHC) was knee-deep in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac failures which have riveted our economy. Promoting an ACORN housing development in Texas on its website in 2006, ACORN boasted “in addition to providing access to AHP grants, ACORN’s lending partners provide low cost, easier to qualify for mortgage loans.”Acorn Affiliates:
Citizen Services
Citizen Services Inc. (CSI), described in a 2006 ACORN publication as "ACORN's campaign services entity" was formed in 2004to "assist persons and organizations who advance the interests of low- and moderate-income people," according to paperwork filed in Louisiana. [19] CSI was hired at the start of the 2008 election season by the Barack Obama Presidential campaign to conduct "polling, advance work, and staging major events," however, it was later discovered that the organization also engaged in "get out the vote efforts." The Obama campaign subsequently had to amend FEC filings that listed CSI's work as only the former.SEIU
See the Services Employees International Union (SEIU) for activities of SEIU related to ACORN. Wade Rathke was the founder and Chief Organizer of ACORN International and SEIU Local 100SEIU organized protesters who harassed AIG bonus recipients at their homes in recent months. They did not do the same for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac recipients of even larger bonuses.
Project Vote
Project Vote, a non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization and ACORN affiliate, was founded in 1982. It conducts third-party voter registration drives. According to Project Vote's official website, Project Vote provides "professional training, management, evaluation and technical services on a broad continuum of key issues related to voter engagement and participation in low-income and minority communities." [23]. It primarily focuses on encouraging "active participation" in the democratic process from "all sectors of society, and works hard to engage low-income and minority voters in the civic process."
Keep a watch on this as more will be discovered on the activities of Acorn, its affiliates listed above, and where taxpayer money was spent as investigations progress in many states.

Texas joins Montana in re-asserting State's Rights
A bill by state Rep. Leo Berman exempting Texas-made firearms, gun accessories and ammunition sold within the state from federal regulation and law — including registration — was heard in a House committee on Monday.
The bill also provides for the Texas Attorney General’s office to defend Texans who run afoul of the federal government because of this law.
Berman, a Tyler Republican who has pushed several “states’ rights” measures this legislative session, said his bill would affect more than 300 manufacturers in the state.
“Under the 9th and 10th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, states have responsibility for regulating intrastate commerce,” Berman said. “The federal government has no role.”
Worse, he said, the federal government would like to increase regulations.
“With the appointment of Eric Holder as U.S. attorney general, we have the most anti-Second Amendment attorney general in the history of the nation,” Berman said. “What we’re saying with this is there are some guns not subject to federal regulation. We have guns and gun accessories and ammunition here that are not subject to their regulation.”

SNAPSHOT: President Obama's Budget Breakdown
Thursday, May 07, 2009
FOXBusinessPresident Obama’s budget requests are just that -- simply requests. Congress can -- and will -- reject many of these items. At the top of that rejection list could be the added bailout measures, for one thing.
Here are some notable items in the President’s budget requests:
--Cap and Trade Tax to start in 2012
--Securities and Exchange Commission budget increased from $961 million to $1.026 billion.
--SEC Enforcement Division gets an increase of 6.6%.
--Internal Revenue Service tax compliance nearly doubles to $890 million. (The President just announced saving $210 billion over 10 years by cracking down on tax havens. He wants the IRS to hire 800 new employees).
--Food and Drug Administration funding increased 14% to $3 billion.
--Projected Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. losses of $91 billion results in "steady increases" in banks' deposit insurance fees.
--$250 billion set aside for another bailout (this number is based on projected losses. Allocating $250 billion would allow the government to loan $750 billion).
--$1 billion for the low-income housing fund.
--Assumes auction of 100% of the carbon credits for cap and trade.
--10-year, $634 billion reserve fund for a down payment for proposed health care overhaul

An Amazing Quote
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Castle Doctrine Self-Defense Bill Introduced in the Keystone State!
Please Contact the Members of the PA Senate Judiciary Committee Today!
State Senator Richard Alloway (R-33) has introduced critical self-defense reform legislation (Senate Bill 842) to protect the rights of law-abiding gun owners in Pennsylvania. This Castle Doctrine self-defense bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
SB842 would permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their homes and any places outside of their home where they have a legal right to be. It is clearly stated that there would be no “duty to retreat” from an attacker, allowing law-abiding citizens to stand their ground to protect themselves and their family. SB842 would also protect individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker’s family when force is used.

Congress FastTracking Legislation to Do an End Run
Please follow through with contacts to all of these legislators stating our outrage at this end run around the normal process with passing legislation. Fast Tracking legislation will make it even more difficult to stop the current proposed bills. Copy this to everyone on your email list please.
Thanks and good night,

From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, President Grassfire.org Alliance
LAST week the Senate passed the Obama budget with massive tax increases, a doubling of the national debt and fast-track provisions for socialized healthcare.
The vote was 53-43.
12 key Democrats had voiced opposition to fast-tracking were identified last week. Several specifically signed a letter opposing use of this procedural trickery to pass the carbon tax and "Roll Call" magazine said many of these also opposed fast-tracking for healthcare.
In all, 9 of the 12 identified voted in favor of fast-tracking socialized healthcare... and here's the names:
Senator Max Baucus 202-224-2651
Senator Mark Begich 202-224-3004
Senator Robert Casey 202-224-6324 Pennsylvania
Senator Daniel Inouye 202-224-3934
Senator Amy Klobuchar 202-224-3244
Senator Mary Landrieu 202-224-5824 Louisiana
Senator Carl Levin 202-224-6221
Senator Blanche Lincoln 202-224-4843
Senator Mark Pryor 202-224-2353
Please call these Senators and tell them you are outraged that their votes caused socialized healthcare to get put on the fast track.
After you make your calls, send your emails and faxes, please forward this message to your friends and urge them to sign the petition on the website so they can be included in the delivery as well:
We cannot allow politicians to push us further and further away from our Constitution's founding principles without feeling any pushback from grassroots Americans.
That's why we're naming names... and delivering petitions on Capitol Hill next week.
