"September 11, 2001 had to speak for itself. A decade later, the deed will be given voice. KSM has gratuitously been presented with the greatest propaganda platform imaginable -- a civilian trial in the media capital of the world -- from which to proclaim the glory of jihad and the criminality of infidel America."

Jobs Saved or Created in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist
Jobs Saved or Created in Congressional Districts That Don't Exist - ABC News:
"Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.
There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.
And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified."

An Ideologue Instead of a Statesman
Commentary � Blog Archive � An Ideologue Instead of a Statesman:
"President Obama is pushing a hugely expensive and ambitious domestic agenda the public simply does not want. Many Americans also believe that what Obama is doing is a diversion from the pressing issues confronting the country — a weak economy, the highest rates of unemployment and underemployment in more than a quarter century (the figure now stands at 17.5 percent), and an exploding deficit and debt."

Oily health bill fails to build trust | detnews.com | The Detroit News:
"Despite the president's 'Don't worry, trust me' assurances that the reforms will deliver universal coverage with superior care and at a lower cost without disrupting current coverage, more than half of Americans aren't buying -- and it's not because they're frightened by Republican hainty tales. They know what snake oil smells like."

Election result: Red-state Dems worried, rethink agenda - Manu Raju and Jonathan Allen - POLITICO.com: "Election Day losses in Virginia and New Jersey have congressional Democrats focused like never before on jobs — their own.
While the White House and party leaders are urging calm, Democratic incumbents from red states and Republican-leaning districts are anything but; Tuesday's statehouse defeats have left them acutely aware that their votes on health care reform and other major Obama initiatives could be career-enders in 2010 or beyond"

Worst Bill Ever
Nancy Pelosi's New Health-Care Bill - WSJ.com:
"Yet at this point, Democrats have dumped any pretense of genuine bipartisan 'reform' and moved into the realm of pure power politics as they race against the unpopularity of their own agenda. The goal is to ram through whatever income-redistribution scheme they can claim to be 'universal coverage.' The result will be destructive on every level—for the health-care system, for the country's fiscal condition, and ultimately for American freedom and prosperity."
Ron Paul: Important News on Audit the Fed
In this Audit the Fed update, Dr. Paul explains what is happening with HR 1207 in the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, describes his plan to protect 1207 in the full Financial Services Committee, and provides ideas on actions we can take to keep Audit the Fed from being watered down.
Take Heed, GOP
Take heed, Republicans. if you ever want to get back into power, you need to be more conservative and libertarian. Ever wonder why those polls saying the country is on the wrong track DON'T CHANGE no matter who is in power? It's because NEITHER party is the party of the people. NEITHER party wants to go back to the founders vision of America. But the American people DO.
"In New York, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman has surged into the lead in the 23rd Congressional District, according to two polls, following the abrupt withdrawal Saturday of Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava. A Siena Research Institute Poll showed Mr. Hoffman, who was embraced by the Republican Party following Ms. Scozzafava's withdrawal, leading 41% to 36%. A survey by Public Policy Polling showed a bigger lead, 54% to 38%."
America Disheartened
Obama and his ilk don't care if Americans are disheartened. in the past, we were always able to see a future. Not this time. When people are starting to be taxes 50,60, 70%+, they will give up - they are not automatons that will simply do the Saviors bidding. Americans understand how important it is to support success, not penalize it. Will this attitude of false optimism in our government kill America?
Audit The Fed Bill
Info on current status of House and Senate versions of the Audit the Fed bill:
The house bill (HR 1207 sponsored by Ron Paul) has a spectacular 307 Cosponsors (all the Republican Reps, well over 100 Dem Reps), yet it languishes in the Financial Services Committee because Barney Frank wants it to. He says he wants the bill to pass, but he wants to make it a part of a regulatory reform package, but we all know that the "reforms" they are talking about is to give the Fed more power and control over all financial sectors even controlling executive pay at private companies. We need Congress members to demand that the bill moves forward on its own.
ACTION NEEDED: We need to contact our Congressperson and tell them to push this to a vote and not to include it in any other legislation. We want real transparency in the Federal Reserve System.
Here's what the Daily Paul posted: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/112459
In the Senate, we have a respectable 30 Cosponsors (out of 100) for Bernie Sander's version, S 604. It is essentially the same bill as in the house. We know the Senate is a harder nut to crack as they are not up for reelection every two years. They don't have to pretend to listen to the constituents.
Here's the immediate threat for the Senate: Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced "The Federal Reserve Accountability Act," an attempt to kill HR 1207/S 604 by passing a bill that prevents a full audit and full transparency. We need to contact our Senators and tell them we want real Transparency, not this watered down version. This does not have a bill number yet.
ACTION NEEDED: We need to be all over this. Demand that that they support S 604 and lets stop this new, bogus bill cold. Here's the link from Campaign For Liberty:
http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blo...
There has been plenty more written at C4L and http://www.auditthefed.com
There is huge bi-partisan support from all corners of the political landscape. I like this illustration of some of the supporters:
http://www.auditthefed.com/view-the-c...
The House Finance Services Committee had a hearing 3(?) weeks ago. One piece of info that came out is that Congress members have been deluged with messages of support for a full audit, both when they were home at town hall meetings and in DC. It is easy to let it slide after making calls for awhile. We know contacting them makes a huge difference and there are serious threats to both bills right now. We need to be hammering home the message.
