Peter Schiff Launches The Peter Schiff Show Famed Financial Forecaster and Former Senate Candidate To Launch Talk-Radio Program Oct. 18 Westport, Conn. October 4, 2010 – Peter Schiff, former Connecticut Republican candidate for Senate, is set to launch a weekday talk-radio show October 18th. The show is slated for air Monday through Friday from 6 PM-8PM, EST, on WNLK 1350 in Norwalk, CT. The show will also air on WSTC 1350; other stations are scheduled to pick up the program soon. The tea-party favorite, and president and chief global strategist of the brokerage firm Euro Pacific Capital, is widely credited with having accurately predicted the bursting of the housing bubble and the implosion of the financial sector. The iconoclastic economist, author, and visionary investor, plans to offer his unique outlook on economic and political developments sprinkled with humor and practical advice on personal finance. “The Peter Schiff Show will run Washington politics through a buzzsaw of reality,” said Schiff. “Unlike other radio hosts, I’ll not only tell you what’s going wrong, but I’ll offer real alternatives that can help the country, and my listeners, get back on track. The ideas-driven program will equip Americans with the knowledge not only to benefit personally, but provide a fresh shot of reason that may help America reclaim a free, prosperous heritage.” “Expect high-impact, take-no-prisoners radio that obliterates the nonsense that passes as conventional wisdom,” said Schiff. “The show’s lifeblood will be a potent mix of passion, wit, wisdom, and liberty.” Listeners worldwide can tune in live at SchiffRadio.com. Schiff has been a feature on business and political television for nearly a decade. He regularly appears on CNBC, CNN, Fox News, and Fox Business. Since 2005 he has hosted the popular Internet radio show “Wall Street Unspun.” He also served as an economic advisor to the 2008 Ron Paul presidential campaign. He is the author of the 2007 bestseller Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse, and the 2010 illustrated economics fable How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes. The show’s executive producer is Tom Elliott, long-time executive producer of The Laura Ingraham Show. ================================================= From the land of the free because of the brave, Monique Thomas --'Mo The Magnificent!'

We pray not only for what we 'WANT', but also for what we so badly 'NEED'--your INTEGRITY, DETERMINATION, SOCIAL CONSCIENCE and FISCAL BRILLIANCE, all in one package. We pray that the Lord will grant us freedom from the governmental oppression I'm a first-hand witness to as a refugee from the 'Obama/Wright' Church, the UCC.

GREENWICH/STAMFORD TEA PARTY PATRIOTS EVENTS NEWSLETTER
JULY 28-AUGUST 3
Hello Patriots, The week in review: July 23 and 24-Another steamy Friday and Saturday of mini rallying. Thank you to the troops for keep letting people know they are not alone. I am happy to see some new people taking the message out to the street. From the tone of the conversations out on the sidewalk, it seems more and more people are tuning in to what is going on around them. They are becoming informed and are eager to find out what is going on and who is running for office.The US Constitution is the hottest promotion of the season. The G/STPP has handed out over 4,000 copies since the end of February. Everything starts to make sense when we all get on the same page.
July 26 Monday night's meeting-another large turn out. More new faces in the crowd of 31 people that attended this week's session. Martha Dean who is running for CT Attorney General was in for a meet and greet. 'FREEDOM, FAITH and FORTUNE' is what she's all about. Without faith, there is no freedom. Without freedom there is no fortune. Our own CT GOP and establishment insiders told her to not use the word faith. They told her not to use the word fortune. And you begin to wonder why we are in such a mess today. Martha is bold and stands firmly upon her three pillars so she can bring prosperity back to CT.
TEA PARTY MOVEMENT NEWS Tea Party Patriots, Inc's national coordinators reached out to Michele Bachmann's office regarding the House Tea Party Caucus. They told her that our local coordinators seem to support what she is doing with the House Tea Party Caucus and that they also have some concern that she is trying to be a head or a leader of the movement. She said that is not trying to do this. She wants this Caucus to listen to what is being said by the tea party members and help pass legislation in line with what they want. 35 members of Congress have joined to date. We're keeping an eye on this bunch.
Did everyone see the correction that the NY Times issued in the following article?! Although it's buried, it's still notable. Correction: July 25, 2010 The Political Times column last Sunday, about a generational divide over racial attitudes, erroneously linked one example of a racially charged statement to the Tea Party movement. While Tea Party supporters have been connected to a number of such statements, there is no evidence that epithets reportedly directed in March at Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, outside the Capitol, came from Tea Party members. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/us/politics/18bai.html?_r=2&scp=2&sq=matt%20bai&st=cse
THIS WEEK'S ACTIVITIES: All hands are on deck. Tea partiers are signing up and getting involved in their favorite candidates' campaigns. This is where the rubber meets the road. Since February 27, 2009 CT citizens have been brewing up a storm of activity. We've attended rallies venting their anger and frustrations. We've read the bills! We've written, faxed, e-mailed our representatives. We've joined our RTC's. We became delegates to the convention. We've looked and found our candidates, some coming from amongst ourselves. We've vetted the candidates. And now it's time to support them and get them elected. If you believe in fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free markets then now is your turn to move our country to greatness. If you haven't made up your mind yet as to who you will be voting for, then check out http://www.gstpp.org/ 'CANDIDATE VETTING' page to view videos of forums, debates and interviews so you can be sure of your vote on August 10.
US Senate, US Congress, Governor and CT Attorney General and Stamford's District 148 Assembly seat races are all going to primary. Volunteer and contribute as much and as often as you can. 13 days left before the outcome of the 1st battle of the peaceful 2nd American Revolution. Come make history. With all of us we will take our country back from the tyranny of the reigning political class.
MINI TEA PARTIES: Educating ourselves and others on the issues in regularly scheduled outdoor events. Enjoy the beautiful weather and get some fresh air and sunshine. (Even if it is raining we will be out. I was reminded one afternoon as it started to drizzle, 'it could be blood in the snow' as it was for George Washington. That put our effort all in perspective.)
Wave a flag, learn about the issues and share your knowledge with others. Join in the fun.
STEAMING HOT TOPICS- Arizona immigration law SB1070--What, no racial profiling in the bill? Must not be. The DOJ's lawsuit doesn't even go after AZ on that one. I don't know if there are any illegals hanging out over at the day labor pick up in Stamford but in anycase, Can someone do me a favor? I've heard Stamford's tax dollars are buying meals for the folks over at the day labor pick up location. Can someone contact the Board of Finance Vice Chair Bob Kolenberg 203-554-4867 or rkolenberg@aol.com and find out if this gem is true? BTW, Bob is running for State Senator, District 27 to oust Andrew McDonald) Let me know and I will pass it on the group.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Schiff: For US SenateNo one knows the economy better than Peter..When the bubble was going to bust, why the housing market and the economy collapsed and then how to fix it.
Linda refuses to acknowledge he is running. She mentions her opponent Simmons on Hannity. No mention of Peter, hmmmmm? And attends two events with Peter this week.
She refuses to debate him.
One can only imagine.
http://schiffforsenate.com/?q=media/who-peter-schiff Tea Party Patriots of Bluffton SC recognize Peter Schiff as THE US Senate candidate from CT In Connecticut – where a Republican primary will be on August 10th – there is a similar situation. The Republican old guard has endorsed Linda McMahon, a moderate to liberal Republican. She is being challenged by Peter Schiff, an economist and supporter of Tea Party principles. McMahon is well-funded and, while she claims to be more conservative, her record shows support for liberal causes and candidates in the past. Schiff, on the other hand, wants to get our country’s fiscal house in order, impose a hard cap on the national debt, control government spending and end the government’s assault on jobs. Schiff’s web site (schiffforsenate.com) has a section (click on The Issues tab) where activists can sign up to make phone calls on Schiff’s behalf, at no cost to you as long as you use a land line.

The rally is hosted by CTGRA member group 'We, The People' The objective of this Rally is to promote and recognize the principles and ideals of our constitution. The 5 US Congressional Nominees and the US Senate Nominee will speak briefly. Then the state legislator will receive in a ceremonial presentation a copy of the Constitution, and sign the resolution I will carry with me to all 48 states, one document, signed by 48 legislators across our nation. This resolution will state that said legislators will up hold the constitution and hold their fellow legislators accountable to do the same. Daren Gardner will close out the rally with a speech on the Constitution and a rally ending prayer.. Again, this is our chance to stand together to work in concert with the candidates that prevailed.

=========================================================== LEGISLATIVE ALERTS: Dear Mo, I have some good and bad news. First, the good news is your efforts paid off and the Senate rejected the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill as part of the Supplemental Appropriations Act! Only 4 of our 10 targets voted in favor of the attempted Big Labor power grab. But the bad news is that Big Labor is throwing everything into getting a vote on the stand-alone version of the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill before the Senate adjourns August 9.They know this may be their last chance to pass this bill, which will shackle our public safety servants and hand the Union Bosses untold power. The next two weeks will be the most dangerous we have faced yet . . . that's why we need to FULLY-FUND the $250,000 in targeted TV ads! Our targeted campaign already paid off, as a number of our targets voted against Big Labor, but now the fight will be renewed with more force. We are over half way, but your help is needed to reach our goal. Will you chip in $10? Sincerely, Mark Mix
-------------------------------------------------- YOU CUT-Jim Himes claims we now need to be fiscally responsible. After sucking $5 billion dollars worth of taxes out of the 17 towns that make up the 4th CD, we're still waiting. When does he say yes to cutting spending.

----------------------------------------------------- THE DISCLOSE ACT follow up....What's the big deal about Disclose Act? Follow along. Through the relentless efforts of grassroots organizations across the nation The DISCLOSE Act failed on a 57-41 vote that went along party lines. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) voted against the motion, a procedural move to allow another vote to occur in the future. Today the U.S. Senate voted on the DISCLOSE act, which is opposed, in bipartisan fashion, by over 400 organizations, from "National Right to Life to the Sierra Club and the ACLU," and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called the bill “a transparent attempt to rig the fall election” earlier today. The good news is that WE WON THIS BATTLE!! However, we must be vigilant. The Democrats are going to try to pass this bill again next month, undoubtedly after attempting to bribe those most likely to sell out, or perhaps convincing those most likely to support it in the first place (RINOs); I'm talking about Senators Scott Brown, Olympia Snowe, and Collins. Please contact the 41 NO votes & thank them for voting NO! Especially the three aforementioned Senators; thank them for standing up in favor of Free Speech. Remember, an ounce of prevention... Here is the last segment of what Senator Mitch McConnell said about the DISCLOSE act prior to the vote, in which Harry Reid & the Democrats failed to shut down the Republican filibuster (the video clip below contains the text quoted below): “The Disclose Act is not about reform. It is nothing more than Democrats sitting behind closed doors with special interest lobbyists choosing which favored groups they want to speak in the 2010 elections — all in an attempt to protect themselves from criticism of their government takeovers, record deficits and massive, unpaid-for expansions of the federal government into the lives of the American people. “In other words, a bill to shield themselves from average Americans exercising their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech. “Americans want us to focus on jobs, but by taking us off the small business bill and moving to this one, Democrats are proving the jobs they care about most are their own. “Think about it. Here we are in the middle of the worst recession in memory, and Democrat leaders decided to pull us off a bill that’s meant to create jobs in an effort to pass this election-year ploy to hold onto their own. “What could be more cynical than that? “A yes vote on this bill will send a clear message to the American people that their jobs aren’t as important as the jobs of embattled Democrat politicians. “In closing, let me just note that hundreds of ideologically diverse organizations oppose this bill and have provided us with valuable information on its various absurdities. But I think the ultimate test of this bill’s legitimacy is pretty simple. If the Founding Fathers were here, they’d remind us. They’d hold up the Constitution and remind us of the oath we took to support and defend it. “As members cast this vote today, they’ll come to the well and look at the desk to see what the well description says — the sheet of paper that sums up what this vote is about. On the Democrat side I’m sure it will include words like transparency and disclosure and talk about the threats to Democracy if this bill isn’t passed. “On our side Mr. President, it will be simpler. This copy of the Constitution will serve as our well description, and, more importantly, it will remind us of why we’re all here. We’re here to protect the Constitution, not our own hides. “I yield the floor.” Here's the Heritage Foundation's take on the DISCLOSE ACT: DISCLOSE Act Assault on First Amendment Continues For those of you who believe in bygone notions like free speech rights and the ability to criticize politicians when they do things like nationalize 1/5 of the U.S. economy, you better taken advantage of that while you can. Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has filed for cloture on the DISCLOSE Act, S. 3628, which is intended to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United and impose burdensome new disclosure requirements. The cloture vote will probably occur next Tuesday in a move that avoids committee hearings. If Reid can get 60 votes, then the Schumer/Van Hollen Sedition Act of 2010 will proceed to a vote. At that point, he will only need 51 senators who believe Congress has the ability to circumvent and restrict the First Amendment. Senator Schumer also introduced a new version of S. 3628 yesterday which differs slightly from the version passed in the House, H.R. 5175. For example, it drops the ban on political speech introduced by Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) by holders of oil drilling leases on the Outer Continental Shelf, which is a slight improvement over the House version. But the differential treatment between corporations and unions is still present in the new, refined, and “improved” bill, as are all of the other worst provisions of the original version. The Center for Competitive Politics estimates that the ban on government contractors engaging in political speech will apply to over half of the fifty largest companies in the United States. The “NRA exemption” from the burdensome disclosure requirements remains in the bill as does the prohibition on speech of American companies with direct or indirect connections with foreign corporations (although unions and NGOs with foreign members are not affected). So companies owned 80% by Americans that are headquartered in the United States and whose employees are overwhelmingly American will not be able to engage in any political speech. If this bill passes, it will become effective within thirty days, which will cause such confusion and chaos only two months before the fall congressional elections that many corporations, both profit and nonprofit, and incorporated associations, will no doubt stay out of the election and stay out of grassroots activity on other bills and issues being considered by Congress before November. But then, there is little doubt that deterring such activity that could lead to criticism of the positions and votes taken by incumbent senators and representatives is an intentional objective. The Framers of our Bill of Rights are probably rolling over in their graves as they contemplate what may be about to happen in the United States Senate. If Daniel Webster asked “How stands the Union?’ as he did in the famous story by Stephen Vincent Benet in The Devil and Daniel Webster, it would be hard to give him the answer he would want. When members of the United States Congress believe they have the power to violate the First Amendment with impunity and censor the political speech of those who they believe should not be able to speak, then the Union no longer stands “rock-bottomed and copper sheathed, one and indivisible.”

GREENWICH/STAMFORD TEA PARTY PATRIOTS WEEKLY EVENTS NEWSLETTER JULY 21-JULY 27 FELLOW PATRIOTS, THE WEEK IN REVIEW:
Wednesday, July 14- around 800 attended a town hall meeting whereNewt Gingrich spoke. Most of the following is verbatim from his presentation at the 1 hour meeting at the Stamford Marriott. It was a previously taped excerpt from another presentation My fellow patriots are more resolute than ever to stop tyranny in its tracks:
Friday and Saturday, July 16 and 17-Mini tea parties in Greenwich and Stamford...steamy hot. Could be burlap and blood in the snow. The patriots keep getting the message out. Thank you troops for your dedication. Any reservists out there willing to share our message with passers by or just hold a flag? Come on out on Fridays 5-7 in front of the YMCA in Greenwich and/or in front of the Ferguson Library 12-2pm on Saturdays. Your reward is the return of American prosperity.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, July 19-Weekly meeting with over 35 in attendance. Everyone shared a bit about what has brought them to the table. They talked about events they have been at over the past week. The shared their frustrations, concerns and ways to get our government back on track.
And from The Gubernatorial Race Vetting Session-Round 1...
A couple of highlights-- Lt. Governor Mike Fedele joined us at 8pm to fill us in on his background and positions. He spoke of being an immigrant and a business man who knows how to create jobs. He know the personalities of current members of the state congress and feels he will be able to hit the ground running.
He backs the AZ immigration law. He will uphold the 10th Amendment. Race to the Top has merit and the state should continue to pursue funding.
He will pursue breaking the hold unions have over our ever-busting budget. Asked for the Tea Party support. Wants to see us at public forum sessions in Hartford and rallying when the likes of SEIU protesters push back. Promised to get the CT GOP chair replaced. Wants to form a quasi-public organization to market Bradley International.

THIS WEEK's ACTIVITIES:
WHICH TEA PARTY
There seems to be some confusion over which Tea Party is the main party and the one which we all follow. With this movement growing , more and more will show up and try to trade off of this name. The Tea Party Patriots are the major player in this movement we have over 2300 groups and millions of members. It is the movement which most people in our state belong to or identify with. Other groups which try and trade off this are Tea Party Express, Tea Party Federation, and Tea Party.org. Some of these groups pay large sums of money to try and get the exposure we get from our efforts. Further they do not all share the core conservative values of the Tea Party Patriot movement. For more info on the Tea Party Patriots, Inc go to www.teapartypatriots.org (Note from Rev. Barb: My 'one and only' organization affiliation is the Tea Party Patriots--link above!)
Stop the misinformation and refute the misportrayals of the Tea Party. Check out the Declaration of Tea Party Independence and see what makes a Tea Party Patriot stand up and engage in his governance. www.gstpp.org 'ABOUT' page.

PETER SCHIFF for U.S. Senate
From the DumpDodd /Block Blumy campaign...
Peter Schiff for Senate-Connecticut
We have traversed Connecticut for eighteen months, the equivalent of one and a half times around the world. We hounded Dodd until he was forced to retire. We seeded Tea Parties and inspired people by the thousands. Our successes have been satisfying.
There is one duty we must fulfill, however, that dwarfs everything accomplished to date. We have the historic opportunity to send to Washington a man the likes we've seldom seen in our lifetimes. A man with a full grasp on reality. A man with our common sense. A man with the intellect to implement our nation's promise.
I urge you to view this video. Send it to all your friends, family and neighbors. Urge them to send it out as well. Peter Schiff is fast becoming a more well-known quantity. It is our duty to our children and grandchildren to educate Connecticut voters, to motivate them to learn more and to activate them to reregister and vote in the Republican Primary.
If ever our fate was in our own hands, now is the time. Send this video. Let's hope every voter in Connecticut gets to see it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwDmxQnS_ws
It's not a slick campaign commercial manufactured on Madison Avenue or filmed in Hollywood. It is footage of Peter Schiff speaking to us in our towns. Do the right thing!

This National Rally is being organized by Daren Gardner of Virginia. It is a 48 state capitol rally.
The date of this rally is one week after the GOP primary. We will know our nominated candidates and this will be a good time to stand together as a Grassroots Alliance and move towards the single most important election in our lifetime. I am asking for everyone's help in publicizing this event. The rally is hosted by CTGRA member group 'We, The People'
The objective of this Rally is to promote and recognize the principles and ideals of our constitution.
The 5 US Congressional Nominees and the US Senate Nominee will speak briefly.
Then the state legislator will receive in a ceremonial presentation a copy of the Constitution, and sign the resolution I will carry with me to all 48 states, one document, signed by 48 legislators across our nation. This resolution will state that said legislators will up hold the constitution and hold their fellow legislators accountable to do the same.
Daren Gardner will close out the rally with a speech on the Constitution and a rally ending prayer..
Again, this is our chance to stand together to work in concert with the candidates that prevailed. "We need to Flip this House" - "Throw the Bums Out"

TEA PARTY NATION exposes... A few days ago, Geek.com and others reported that the Federal Government had shut down blog hosting site, Blogetery. The site that hosted Blogetery stated they were contacted by the Federal Law Enforcement and had little choice but to shut the site down immediately. This action silenced 73,000 blogs!!!
Until this action occurred, none of us at Tea Party Nation had even heard of this site. We do not know what kind of blogs were hosted on this site, but we suspect they cover the range from personal to political.
This is why the Tea Party Movement needs to be involved immediately. The Obama regime has taken a very hostile attitude towards our First Amendment rights. Is this a dry run the government is taking to shut down sites that are critical of the regime?
We need to act.
Call your Senators and Congressmen today and demand that the Senate and the House investigate which agency shut this site down and why. Email your friends and ask them to call as well. We need an explanation and we cannot let the regime off on this issue. Along this line, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan has said she sees nothing wrong with the government suppressing speech the government finds offensive. Given the regime’s attitude to the First Amendment, we must be vigilant.
Remember to keep calling the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee and reminding them to vote "NO!" on the Kagan nomination.
Here are the direct numbers to the Republicans on the committee.
Jeff Sessions (R-AL) (202) 224-4124
Orin Hatch (R-UT) (202) 224-5251
Chuck Grassley (R-IA) (202) 224-3744
Jon Kyl (R-AZ) (202) 224-4521
Lindsay Graham (R-SC) (202) 224-5972
John Cornyn (R-TX) (202) 224-2934
Tom Coburn (R-OK) (202) 224-5754
Join us in the discussions on Tea Party Nation. The forum about the blogs being shut down is here. A forum to discuss the Kagan nomination can be found here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KAGAN PROMOTED SHARIAH!!!
By DICK MORRIS
Published on TheHill.com on July 20, 2010
Printer-Friendly Version
Having worked with Elena Kagan at the Clinton White House, Dick was inclined to see her as a political moderate, worthy of support as the best one could expect from the Obama White House. But no more.
Thanks to the work of the Center for Security Policy Director Frank Gaffney and the writing of Andrew McCarthy of the National Review Institute, there has emerged a compelling reason to vote against Kagan's confirmation as a Supreme Court justice: her support for Shariah law while she was dean of Harvard Law School.
Islamists are seeking to spread Shariah law by inducing American and European financial institutions to establish Shariah Compliant Funds in which their clients can invest. Exposed in our books Fleeced and Outrage, these funds follow the prescriptions of Shariah law in their investments. They routinely collect 2.5 percent of the principal of any investment annually for donation to charitable institutions, fine recipients of their investment 7 percent for transgressions of Shariah law (and donate the fine to charity), and only invest in projects compliant with the rules of Shariah.
Unfortunately, the decisions as to which investments are compliant and which charities receive their benefice are made by Shariah Compliance Boards appointed by the financial institutions that typically include radical Muslim extremists who routinely designate terrorist-linked entities to receive their charitable donations, and they also proscribe investment in any firm engaged in U.S. defense contracting on the ground that the contract could aid Israel.
Most major banks in the U.S. and Europe have established Shariah Compliant Funds, and they had almost $1 trillion under management by 2007 -- and likely more today.
At Harvard, Elena Kagan "proceeded to forge the law schools' 'Islamic Finance Project.' " Its purpose, according to McCarthy, was "to promote Shariah compliance in the U.S. financial sector."
Indeed, when Harvard's president, Larry Summers -- now in the Obama administration -- accepted a $20 million donation for the creation of a program of studies of Islam's history and Shariah law, Kagan raised no objection. The donation came from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a billionaire investor whose contribution of $10 million to the Twin Towers fund was refused by New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani because bin Talal had blamed the 9/11 attack on American foreign policy.
Harvard Law School now has three Saudi-funded institutions devoted to the study of Shariah.
Kagan, as a Supreme Court justice, will be required to rule frequently on possible applications of Shariah law in the United States. She has already noted that she welcomes "good ideas wherever they originate" and is open to applications of foreign law to the interpretation of U.S. statutes and common law. In fact, a lawsuit seeking to ban Shariah Compliance Funds in banks that accepted TARP money (as violating the First Amendment separation of church and state) is now making its way up to the Supreme Court. Kagan cannot be trusted to rule dispassionately on this case, nor can we rely on her to exclude Shariah law from American jurisprudence.
For this reason -- if for no other -- senators should vote no on her confirmation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This should be an interesting group to keep an eye on.
Any investigative reporter types out there who want to look into this and let all of us know what this group is all about?

-------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy Pelosi slides Police and Firefighter bill into "must pass" War Funding bill... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS7xbn720gY&feature=player_embedded#!
AND REP JIM HIMES does nothing to avert more crushing burdens to your town. HEAVE HIMES, DUMP DeLAURO, CAN COURTNEY,
DUMP LARSON, MURPHY MUST GO
Your action is needed IMMEDIATELY!
You see, in just a matter of days, you and I could reach the final U.S. Senate showdown on Big Labor's Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill (S. 3194).
If passed, S. 3194 could force every police officer and firefighter in the country under union boss control, override state and local labor laws across the nation and lead to mammoth state and local tax hikes.
And your U.S. Senators could determine the fate of this union boss power grab.
You see, all you need to do is take a look at California and Illinois to see what the rest of the nation has in store should S. 3194 pass.
California is facing a budget deficit of over $19 billion thanks to out-of-control government union bosses and their outrageous demands.
Illinois is facing a $13 billion shortfall -- half the state's budget.
Dropping down a level, the city of Vallejo, California, actually went bankrupt after nearly 75 percent of its budget was spent on satisfying the demands of the union agreement covering police and firefighters.
And the Mayor of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, recently stated that struggling cities are "handcuffed" by public sector monopoly bargaining. So please, call your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY and demand that they vote against the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill on all votes. Here is the contact information for your Senators:
Senator Chris Dodd: (202) 224-2823
Senator Joe Lieberman: (202) 224-4041
Demand that they OPPOSE any bill that includes Police and Firefighters Monopoly Bargaining.
There's not a moment to lose.
Call US Senators today and tell them you won't stand for anymore unconstitutional power grabs that are destroying our way of life. Remove the Policemen and Firefighters Bill from the War Funding Bill www.congress.org

Note to NAACP: Tea Party Is NOT Racist
Friday, 16 Jul 2010 12:53 PM
Newsmax.com
By: Deroy Murdock The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on Tuesday unanimously adopted a resolution at its national convention in Kansas City condemning the Tea Party movement as — guess what?— racist.
This is false, outrageous, and no surprise. The NAACP is like a talking GI Joe doll with a cord coiled into his back. Pull it, and GI Joe says something manly and combative. Pull the NAACP's string. "Racism!" squawks the shopworn voice. Pull it again. "Bigotry!" it squeals, as it has so many times before.
The NAACP once was totally justified when it decried the racism and bigotry that the Jim Crow South's Democratic-led governments mandated by law. In 2010, however, screaming "racism" sounds increasingly delusional, given that America is governed by a black man who voters comfortably elected in November 2008 and wished well, largely across the political spectrum, on Inauguration Day, 2009. The NAACP's original resolution sought to "repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties" and combat their supposed efforts to "push our country back to the pre-civil rights era." This statement reportedly was toned down, although it was debated behind closed doors and will remain unseen until the NAACP's board approves it in October. If the tea party movement really is fueled by bias, why did they invite a black man like me to address one of the first tea parties in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 26, 2009?
Why would these alleged racists invite me to rally an even bigger tea party in Manhattan on July 1, 2009? Did prejudice inspire them to let David Webb, a black man, organize that Times Square event, and also run the New York Tea Party?
Did racial insensitivity lead the tea party to showcase Congress of Racial Equality national spokesman Niger Innis, Project 21's Deneen Borelli, and other black conservatives and free-marketeers?
"In March, respected members of the Congressional Black Caucus reported that racial epithets were hurled at them as they passed by a Washington, D.C. healthcare protest," the NAACP's website states. "Civil rights legend John Lewis was called the 'N-word' in the incident." Americans still await video footage and/or to hear audiotape that proves these oft-repeated accusations. Reps. Lewis, D-Ga., and Andre Carson, D-Ind., were encircled by TV cameras, radio news gear, cell phone cameras, and other recording devices.
To date, none of them has yielded any sound or image of anybody lobbing racial insults. If such comments actually were uttered, the NAACP and its leftist allies would have played them repeatedly to embarrass and humiliate Republicans, conservatives, and the allegedly racist tea party movement. In fact, no one whatsoever has claimed conservative activist Andrew Breitbart's $100,000 bounty for any documentary proof that these supposed race bombs ever were tossed at their targets.
Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity on Tuesday night played video footage from four different news cameras that captured the exact moment last March 20 when Rep. Carson says "maybe 15 people" yelled "N-word 15 times" as he walked outside the U.S. Capitol.
"They started surrounding us," he added, referring to him, Rep. Lewis, and Lewis' chief of staff. "It was like a page out of a time machine."
None of these four videotapes shows anything resembling Carson's scenario.
"The camera never blinks," newsman Dan Rather once wrote. It does not hallucinate, either.
Consider the tea party's Contract from America, a pledge to which it holds its endorsed candidates (TheContract.org).
Among 10 planks, it advocates a single-rate tax, a two-thirds-vote requirement for tax hikes, ObamaCare's repeal, and the defeat of cap-and-trade legislation. Nothing is even remotely related to race, ethnicity, or identity.
Wouldn't bigots devote at least one of 10 reforms to something racial?
The tea party movement avoids racial issues and instead advances lower taxes and spending and greater fiscal discipline. These issues are neither black nor white. They are green.

=============================================================== From the land of the free because of the brave, Monique
Greenwich-Stamford Tea Party Patriots www.gstpp.org
FROM REVEREND BARB: "May God Bless the good, hard work of all the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS I am proud to call 'my fellows'. May our goals be accomplished not because of anything, necessarily, that we do or say ourselves...But may it be so because it is God's will for us and for our fine country. I SAY, "NOT GOD DAMN AMERICA, BUT GOD BLESS AMERICA", as do my fellow Tea Party Patriots. We say it not because we wish to 'sound good' in public, but because we MEAN IT! In an election cycle when those who oppose us will do and say anything in order to 'sound or look acceptable', we are learning to discern the wheat from the chaff in these days. We see in our lifetime an utter disregard for 'all things American' and for our 'liberties' as American citizens. Our true 'grassroots' TEA PARTY MOVEMENT is born of both need and desperation and we invite all people of 'good will' to join us so that we can work together. May God save us from what we have directly wrought or allowed to 'be' by those who wish nothing but destruction and punishment for the U.S.A. and it's citizens. May the Lord deliver us safely from the worst of humanity disquising itself as 'our political leaders', 'our religious leaders', 'our social-engineering leaders' and 'our community activists'. We know who harbors self-serving motives and we know that our Creator will not let such as these prevail for long. I offer this statement of prayer for all of us here, now, who want 'that better way' and who are willing to fight for it. Lord, please hear our prayer! AMEN. With Love in Christ, Reverend Barbara Sexton "Your Tea Party Pastor", ministering to believers and nay-sayers, to 'seekers' and doubters, in a spirit of true equality. GOD BLESS YOU! http://www.dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/
Our 'Freedom' is not 'free'. Many have paid with their LIVES so that we might live in freedom. We must stop those who are disrespecting and defiling the very memories of those who sacrificed so much!
