Is your allegiance to a Corporate Plutocracy or to a Constitutional Republic?

I received this message today from an alleged "educator".

As a college professor, my dirty little secret is the fact that I can convince people that I really hate George Bush. Along with my public school teachers, we really don't care who wins this election. There's no economic impact on my pocketbook no matter who gets in. See, I'm guaranteed employment as a state servant of the education system. They love me enough to keep me around forever. So as I said, I don't care who wins. Now the rest of you may care if you put in a waffler or a cowboy, I don't. As I said, my job is secure and secure for life. Sorry. Bye.

Marlene Tobin, Americans For Fair Taxation (AFFT) PA State Director recently requested feedback from all candidates regarding their "Fair Tax" position. AFFT currently has a score card on their web which lists all incumbents and their position on FairTax. They are planning to post an updated FairTax scorecard on their State website listing each incumbent and candidate running for election in 2004. Here is an abstract of the Bill and my response.

H.R.25
Title: To promote freedom, fairness, and economic opportunity by repealing the income tax and other taxes, abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and enacting a national sales tax to be administered primarily by the States.

As I see it, on top of credit card, car, and mortgage payments and interest, approximately $9.96 is the laboring man's debt to the owners of the Federal Reserve for each $10.00 of his labor. Here's how:

The "bill" which a laboring man perceives he has earned for his labor cost the Federal Reserve approximately4.2 cents to print - regardless of its denomination. In reality this means that for every $10.00 of a man's labor, he is in debt approximately $9.96 to the owners of the Federal Reserve; $19.96 for every $20.00, and $99.96 for every $100.00.

Should the proposed "national sales tax" be implemented at a typical 7% using the current currency: For every $100.00 purchase the American buyer makes, he or she will be indebted approximately $107.00 to the owners of the Federal Reserve, $21.40 for a $20.00 purchase, and $10.40 for every $10.00 purchase. Should the buyer use a debit card, the owners of the Federal Reserve's profit will increase by, at least, $.04.

Although this "national sales tax" - in reality - is somewhat better than the IRS' approximate 20% rate of extortion on the working man or woman's labor, it still does not meet the Constitutional criteria for a lawful monetary system.

It is my opinion that a "national sales tax" will not resolve the economic realities that are brought about by a debt based monetary system that is owned and operated by a cartel of private bankers; a Plutocracy.

From the "Title" definition of H.R.25 as found on the web, and the reasons given above, I will answer:

d... "Leans Against Support of HR25"

Thank you for requesting my feedback. I hope you will consider refocusing the energy of Americans For Fair Tax in a manner consistent with the founding principles of our Constitutional Republic.

"What do you think you can accomplish in a Democrat and Republican controlled Congress?"

I have been asked the question; "What do you think you can accomplish in a Democrat and Republican controlled Congress?"

If this is your question, here is my reply:

Realistically, little can be done by a "freshman" in Congress; and the present congressman's record has shown him to be no exception to this reality. Unlike the present Congressman, however, I have not compromised the integrity of my allegiance to the people in our geographic area. I do not sit on the Board of Directors of the United Nations Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania. As such, I can, with your help, make sensible decisions on behalf of our children, our grandchildren, and our beloved nation.

My first term goals in the U.S. House of Representatives are to:

- Co-Sponsor "The Constitution Restoration Act of 2004"; HR 3799,

- Promote legislative awareness for self responsible "Homeland Security and Defense" as provided for in the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution as ratified in December, 1791,

- Begin the process of returning the federal government to its Constitutionally defined limits, and

- Defend and protect the unalienable Right of "the People" to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness as they exercise their intellectual and tangible property in creative, moral and ethical ways within their communities.

Thank you for your vote.

The Constitution Restoration Act Of 2004: The Most Important Legislation In The Last Fifty Years

In February, 2004, a bill was introduced in both chambers of Congress to "limit the jurisdiction of Federal courts in certain cases and promote federalism." The House version is H.R. 3799, and the Senate's original version was S. 2082. The bill is titled, "The Constitution Restoration Act of 2004." Initial sponsors of the bill include Rep. Robert Aderholt (AL), Rep. Michael Pence (IN), Sen. Richard Shelby (AL), Sen. Zell Miller (GA), Sen. Sam Brownback (KS), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC). Even though the introduction of this bill received little national media attention, it is the most important legislation in the last fifty years. I would encourage you to take a look at these bills, compare the changes that were made to the original Senate Bill by current 17th Amendment Senators, and urge you to contact your Congressional representatives to sign on to the original bills as "co-sponsors".

Home (and) Land Security for Responsible People and Their Families vs Fear and Anxiety Perpetrated by "Homeland Security"

Efforts to ease requirements for permits fought

By Eric Swedlund
ARIZONA DAILY STAR

Ten years after it became legal to carry a concealed weapon in Arizona with a permit, proponents say the law has been an absolute success, increasing self-defense options for law-abiding adults without a consequential increase in crime. .

World Daily Net Commentary
Keep the Declaration alive
By: Alan Keyes

As we gather in our beloved America to observe the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, let us emulate our founders in their faithfulness to the truth – a bold faithfulness that gave birth to this nation.

Let us reflect on a founding generation born into a world characterized by despotism and tyranny and slavery, into an era dominated by philosophy and practice and institutions based upon inequality and the denial of human freedom – and celebrate our great founders' recognition and radical assertion of the universal rights of man.

Tyranny and inequality were not then considered to be unusual or changeable conditions, but our founders were wise, courageous and prudent enough to recognize the truth and plant the seeds of that liberty which would overturn centuries of despotism and become the foundation for a successful struggle, even against the age-old institution of slavery. To those who persist in denigrating our founders and their legacy of liberty, I say this: I would rather show respect for that generation which, though born into an era of slavery, planted the seeds of liberty, than to be part of a generation that, born into an era of liberty, plants the seeds of renewed slavery and bondage.

. . .

I can think of a fate worse than being born into a generation that accepted slavery: it is to be born into the generation that renewed the bondage of slavery for millions yet unborn. And if we are not careful, that will be our fate.

How can we avoid it? I think it's simple. . . .

Do you know who your Congressperson and Senator are serving?

Are you aware that your Congressperson and Senator may be making decisions on behalf of the United Nations Association of the United States of America?

Isn't it time to cast your vote for a principled candidate who will uphold his oath of office as President to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States"?

Isn't it time to cast your vote for principled Congressional and Legislative candidates who "shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this (United States) Constitution" as ratified December 15, 1791?

The 'Fear Factor' in small town America.

As I continue to collect signatures for ballot access on behalf of the Constitution Party (and myself) in my home area I am amazed by the cowardice of the people to make a stand for what they believe.

I've been told by local people on more than one occasion that their signature on previous petitions had compromised the jobs of themselves or their loved ones. They are not convinced that their names, once submitted to the Department of State in Harrisburg, will not be shared with political gatekeepers within the Democrat and Republican parties and they, and members of their families, will be ostracized or black-balled for their desire for diversity, tolerance, and positive change within the democratic process of our Constitutional republic.
