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.

Occupy Kansas City

At the recent Occupy Kansas City rally on Saturday, as series of activists were interviewed for the Libertarian Enterprise.

Wendy Hippy
Wendy, who calls herself Wendy Hippy, is a mother and grandmother. She held up a sign on Main Street when I spoke with her. The sign said, "The banks got bailed out. You got sold out." She was there, she said, to object to corporatism (which is Mussolini's word for fascism), to protest endless war, and to favour liberty, Americans working together, alternatives to false media, death to corporatism, in her own words.

U.S.D.A. loans given to Missouri and Kansas Farmers

The weather this summer has been detrimental to farmers within the lower Midwest. Flash flood damage left the area around Kansas city in a disaster state and help is coming from the U.S.D.A.. Emergency loans can be made available for any farmers in certain areas that need some advance cash because of damaged crops. These farmers have a few months to determine whether or not they need loans. They can file for them later. The loans interest rate has been determined. The rate is low. Tornados and rainfall hit the Midwest really hard this year.

Heavy summer rains

Cisse Spragins: “A Principled Stand for Individual Liberty, Free Markets and Peace”

The Boston Tea Party National Committee by a vote of 3-0 (with 3 abstaining & 1 not voting) has endorsed Dr. Cisse Spragins for US Senate in Missouri. She is the only candidate in this race with the courage to say, “Reducing the size, scope and power of the federal government is the core solution to every issue we face as a nation. We must work within our present reality, but be guided by an unflinching commitment to the ideal of liberty.

Midwest Liberty Fest

It would be a good idea for us to set up a table in the exhibition hall for this event. Perhaps our nearby affiliates or some member donations could finance it.

Midwest Liberty Fest
October 9-11, 2009
DuQuoin Fairgrounds, DuQuoin, IL
http://www.midwestlibertyfest.com/

They are hoping to bring out up to 10,000 people. There is plenty of camping available on the fairgrounds, so it should be an inexpensive trip. I'll post updates when as I get more information. Let me know if you would like to help out in any way or if you are planning to go to the event.

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.
