Wisconsin C4L Newsletter 10/26/2009

http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=26945 Tenth Amendment and Resolutions Mike Rothfeld (Grassroots activist trainer) provided his take on Tenth Amendment resolutions. Basically, he stated that: 1. A resolution is a waste of time because it doesn't affect law or use of funds. 2. A resolution can actually be dangerous because it allows politicians to sign something that doesn't affect law, b… Continue

Petri Meetings

This afternoon I attended Tom Petri's listening session. (He calls them "listening" sessions for a reason: he doesn't answer the questions, although he did answer mine.) The room was filled to capacity, which was listed at 275, with many people standing in the back. Most of the people complained about the Health Care bill, but there were some who supported it too. I was given a chance to speak, so I started my telling Mr. Petri that I was confused by his voting record. I told him that there are… Continue

Unions and Economic Freedom

I am starting to read Michael Strong's new book, "Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the Worlds Problems", and think it will be added to my very highly recommended list. This is his latest post... -- Randy Palmer FLOW Vision News - June 2009 A few months ago, the Gallup organization released the results of the first Gallup World Poll, a new complex, comprehensive poll of people from 100 different nations. The key result: What the whole world wants is a… Continue

Libertarian Health-Care Alternative: Medical Choice - Part II

http://timnerenz.com/content/libertarian-health-care-alternative-medical-choice-part-ii Socialists argue for government health care on the basis that Europeans pay less for health care and live longer. Yes, but they have to live those years in Europe, so that’s a wash. Europhiles and statists may be disappointed to learn that unhealthy people spend more on health care and live shorter lives;… Continue

Libertarian Health-Care Alternative: Medical Choice - Part I

http://timnerenz.com/content/libertarian-health-care-medical-choice-part-i There are many reasons to oppose government-run health care, but we only really need the first one; the government will run it. What is the problem with our health care system? It’s not quality – we have the best people, equipment, and facilities in the world. It’s not capacity – we have enough providers, equipment, laboratories, an… Continue

Voice of the People, 5-23-09

Central Planning Caused This Mess In our search for answers and resolution to the economy we make the worst possible mistake: We look to individuals who did not see the mountain of evidence pointing to a collapse to provide a solution. Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, George W. Bush, Henry Paulson, Barack Obama, Timothy Giethner, our very own U.S. Rep. Ron Kind and countless others all have one thing in common: They did not see the collapse coming. In their own ways they are each culpable, and… Continue

More on communism/Marxism in the USA from Rockwell site

American Capitalism Gone With a Whimper by Stanislav Mishin This article originally appeared in Pravda. It is reprinted with the permission of the author. It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people. True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial t… Continue

Jon Erpenbach claimed 233 days of per diem in 2008

There are roughly 220 working days every year. Jon Erpenbach, a state senator from Middleton, claimed 233 days of per diem in 2008. What sort of scam is he pulling? The next closest was taxoholic Fred Risser. At least Fred had the decency not to claim more per diem than there are work days in the year!!!! Is anyone interested in expressing concern over the senator's workoholic nature?… Continue

Fix Education and Leave Health Care Alone

http://timnerenz.com/content/fix-education-and-leave-health-care-alone Next up on the socialists' agenda of "false hope and chains" is nationalizing health care. The strongest argument against public health care is public education. Many people don't know that prior to 1980 there was no federal Department of Education. Nationalizing education actually began in earnest a decade earlier when the federal courts… Continue

Oppose the Beer Tax increase

It seems that the assemblywoman for my district, Terese Berceau, as well as the infamous taxaholic Fred Risser are planning an increase in the beer tax from $2 to $10 per barrel. Please write these taxaholics as well as your representatives asking them to oppose this and all other tax increases. I can't afford them. Can you? Continue

Shareholders be DAMNED!

It came out the last couple days that Bernanke and Paulson "ordered" the Bank of America CEO to break securities laws or lose his job. Of course, if the CEO, Ken Lewis, had a bit of integrity and decency he would have resigned and told the government to go to hell. But, he's a crass, venal buffoon and did what he was told without regard to the shareholders (whose interests he is legally obligated to serve). In any case, th… Continue

DHS: The Department of Homegrown Stupidity

DHS: The Department of Homegrown Stupidity Doug Giles Sunday, April 19, 2009 For someone in Obama’s cabinet to warn the nation about decent God and country loving people as being “extreme” is like Rosie criticizing chunky and obnoxious middle-aged white lesbian comics for being unfunny. Behold, the Audacity of Irony. Or hypocrisy. Both work for me. You choose. Uh, hello, Ms. Napolitano, you work for the Czar of the Extreme, Barack Hussein Obama. By the way, what’s up with all this Czar crap?… Continue

Bailing Out Of The Bailout

http://timnerenz.com/content/bailing-out-bailout A curious trend seems to be developing in the financial community; the banks are bailing out of the bank bailout plan. Last week, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimond told Wall Street Journal analysts that his firm would seek to give back their $25 billion in TARP bailout money: “we could pay it back tomorrow, we have the money.” A few days earlier Goldman Sachs announced it wants to pay back its $15 billion of TARP funds. On Friday, it was CitiGro… Continue
