2012 Ballot Access

Now that we have our Presidential nominee, we have to start to get her on as many ballots as we can. If we're aggressive, there's about 16 or 17 states we can do easily.

-Mississippi needs paperwork done by January 6th. If not, we can submit 1,000 signatures as an independent candidate by September 7th.
-Hawaii needs just under 700 signatures by February 22nd.
-New Mexico needs just over 3,000 signatures by April 2nd.
-Colorado needs $500 and a list of electors by June 4th.
-Vermont needs 1,000 signatures by June 14th.
-New Jersey needs 800 signatures by July 30th.

InSecurity Cameras

Benjamin Franklin's wise statement that those who voluntarily give up essential liberty in exchange for a little temporary security deserve neither aside, one could well argue that an omnipresent government, at any level, takes away from one's personal security, rather than adding to it. -Billy Roper

DES MOINES, Iowa — Ron Paul warned a group of home schooling advocates on Wednesday that officials at the Department of Education are trying to “indoctrinate” their children.

“They don’t educate our kids, they indoctrinate our kids,” the Texas congressman said of federal education efforts. “It’s a propaganda machine.”

The Government Has a "Dirty Little Secret"

There are many claims about Republicans and Democrats that are false. However, don’t think for one second that I’m defending the Political Duopoly. The claim most often heard is either: “Democrats are ‘Socialists’!” or “Republicans are ‘Nazis’!”. Neither of these claims is acurate, both parties – actually two parts of the same “Ruling Party” – are FASCISTS! Not every member of the Republican or Democratic Party are fascists, there are a few that are freedom loving people, there are even a few avowed Socialists; but the leadership of the Ruling Party is fascists and they know it.

Welcome to the Police State!

Welcome to the Police State! No, this isn't something that just happened. It didn't happen over night; it's been a long time coming, just like the story of catching wild pigs. In the documentary “America: Freedom to Fascism” Ron Paul says, “You have to get permission from the government for almost *everything*. And if that is the definition of a Police State -- that you can't do anything unless the government gives you permission -- we're well on our way.”

Beware, your right to bear arms may be in jeopardy

Recently the Department of Homeland “Security” issued two startling
“reports” concerning “Right wing extremism”. The first report to be leaked
mentioned supposed “threats” posed by military veterans and those who
support Constitutionally limited government. The second “report” to leak
was titled "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" and supposedly rescinded. However,
a bill (HR 2159) was introduced by Representative Peter King (NY-3) titled
“Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009”.
While this bill “sounds” good, once you realize that YOU could potentially

Tea Party response to President Obama's 100 day Press Conference

I know it's normally only the State of the Union Address that gets an “opposition” reply, but President Obama's 100 day Press Conference deserves a REAL response.

President Obama began by stating that he would throw $1.5 billion at “solving” a flu “problem” that is not near as severe as the “regular flu”. I honestly believe that he will use this “pandemic” as a tool to further push his “universal health care” agenda.
