LOAD UP!!! We have a TEA Party bus to fill!!!

Email or message me ASAP, if you can go to DC on Saturday, 3/24, for an anti-Obamacare rally.

Obama has assaulted us again with his decree to mandate insurance companies cover free abortions, contraception, and sterilizations for religious organizations – even if the organization is philosophically opposed to such practices.  **

If you are angry about Obama’s abortion coverage, unconstitutional individual mandate, financial disclosure for Medicare recipients, doctors’ pay cuts, or rationing of care to our seniors – then join us and couple million of our patriot friends!!! Continue reading

Rising Prices, The Federal Reserve and the payroll tax-cut (part 1)

From the desk of ‘No new Taxes’ Patriots:

While the President’s latest celebrity appearance at a university about Energy made some of the obvious common sense points about increased world oil demand (such as more car drivers in China) or supply disruptions (Mid-east/Iran policy) that does not excuse his lack of leadership in taking more action for the U.S. such as the Keystone oil pipeline or excuse the same trite blaming or condemning against America that now traditionally errors his Party. Look at the gas pump, or go into a grocery store and the cost of everything is up. The price increases are across the board including goods made of plastics, metals, …anything. These price hikes for the U.S. should not be happening at this rate. Americans have a gut feeling of being on the wrong track and know something is not right…which is why the rise of the Tea Party has been clear…average Americans sense that what is being done is not good for America and their children’s future. Taxation against the People is being done and hidden in the gas prices and all consumer prices….Since Obama wants to raise taxes, he already has done so against everyone including the poorest. The one and only (credit rating) downgrade President is the problem.

When the price problem is across the board then it points to a problem of the monetary system, hence in particular the currency – U.S. dollar. The central source of the price hike debate is the Federal Reserve. Bernanke and Geithner are not dumb, they know the numbers and there the debt goes — $15 Trillion, $16 Trillion. And as Republican Presidential candidate Rick Perry had stated spot on — “to deliberately run the treasury for political gains or for non-U.S. interests or parties IS traitorous” and it is NOT a building Continue reading

Islamization in education today

Brigitte Gabriel gives a powerful speech in a Tennessee church on Islamization in education today. Please pay attention!! She speaks the truth. She has dedicated her life to spreading this information to citizens and government officials. Will you listen?

A very powerful speech by Brigitte Gabriel founder of ACT at the anti-Shariah conference in Tennessee. She summarizes the urgency with a quote from Hitler, “Give me the children. I can change a society in ten years.” Every American needs to see and learn this message. If you love our country, if you want to preserve it and the freedoms it affords, you must watch and pass this on to your friends, your educators, and your pastors.

Ethan Wingfield: Conservative or Fraud

Ethan Wingfield: Conservative or Fraud

26 year old Ethan Wingfield is running for the GOP nod for the 11th District Congressional seat as a conservative businessman. Since he has not held office before one can only judge the depth of Wingfield’s conservatism on his political activism as a young man in college. Unfortunately for western NC conservatives, Ethan’s record is one any RINO or Democrat could appreciate.

During his tenure at Brown University Wingfield was involved in the 2006 reelection campaign for liberal Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee, serving as Brown’s co-founder of “Students for Chafee”. Chafee was best known to conservatives for his support of abortion, federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, amnesty for illegal aliens, opposition to Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito’s confirmation, as well as opposition to the 2nd Amendment. Chafee even opposed a bipartisan effort to ban partial birth abortion, Continue reading
