GOA ALERT: HARRY REID PREPARES TO ANNIHILATE THE SECOND AMENDMENT...THIS IS SO SERIOUS, FOLKS, THAT THE UK AND PRAVDA HAVE SAID WITHIN A WEEK - 'AMERICA: DON'T GIVE UP YOUR GUNS"!

Gun Owners of America Harry Reid Prepares to Annihilate Second Amendment “Our Founders intended the Senate to be a body where legislation was slowed down and subject to improvement through extended debate and amendment. [Harry] Reid’s proposed ‘reforms’ would remove two of the most fundamental rights traditionally reserved to all Senators -- to freely debate and amend legislation. I shall not stand for that.” -- Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) On Election Day last November, several Democrat Senators were campaigning for reelection in pro-gun states.  And in order to get their constituents’ votes, they promised fealty to the Second Amendment. May, on November 6, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV), Bob Casey (PA) and Jon Tester (MT) all won their respective elections.  These seats, among others, were crucial to helping Harry Reid return to the top post in the Senate. But only a month after the election returns were tallied, the Senate -- under Majority Leader Harry Reid’s control -- is now crusading to implement: * Gun bans on semiautomatic firearms and magazines; * An effective ban on gun shows; * A ban on private gun sales, without going through a gun dealer; and, * Changes in the Senate rules which would allow them to ban guns with a mere 50 Senate votes. This last proposal is particularly insidious.  Gun grabbers are not going to be able to get 60 votes to break a Senate filibuster of gun control.  But, with the help of fake “pro-gun” Senate Democrats, they may be able to get 50. So the question of whether Senate Democrats will need 50 votes or 60 votes will determine whether gun control -– and much of Obama’s agenda -– will be slammed through and passed into law. This brings us to the “nuclear option.” This is a trick which anti-gun Democrats intend to use the first day of the Senate session in order to obliterate the Senate rules and clear the way for 50-vote passage of gun control. Your senator’s vote on the “nuclear option” may be the most important gun-related vote he casts during the 113th Congress.  It may be the difference between whether Obama can secure Senate passage of gun bans, magazine bans, gun show bans, and bans on private gun sales. Anti-gun Democrats will try to tell you that the Senate is just following its precedents. But that’s a bald-faced lie.  As Democrats made clear during the Bush administration when the Republicans were contemplating the “nuclear option,” the nuclear option has been threatened, but the trigger has never been pulled. Anti-gun Democrats will try to tell you that the “nuclear option” can only be invoked on the first day. That’s a lie.  Senate Rule 5, Paragraph 2, provides that the Senate rules continue from one Congress to the next, unless changed by 67 votes (needed to break a filibuster of rules changes).  If the Senate can use brute force to obliterate Rule 5 by 50 votes, it can use brute force to obliterate any rule at any time by 50 votes. This is a major vote that will have huge ramifications for our republic.  Our gun rights are just one of the many freedoms that are on the chopping block right now.  And if Harry Reid can squelch his opposition by nuking the filibuster, it will be the first step towards completely obliterating our Constitution. ACTION: Click here to contact your Senators and tell them that the vote on the "nuclear option" will be the most important gun control vote of the 113th Congress.  Urge them to vote AGAINST changing the Senate rules.  Tell them to vote AGAINST the "nuclear option."  You may also phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

RON PAUL: TSA ABUSIVE, INVOLVED IN ALL KINDS OF SEXUAL ACTIVITIES

http://www.prisonplanet.com/ron-paul-tsa-abusive-involved-in-all-kind-of-sexual-activities.html

Damn the TSA Blue Glove Brigade!

FREQUENT FLYERS - BEWARE THE NEW TSA "REFORMS"

Stung by bad publicity, the TSA is making "reforms." One of them is to give frequent fliers a "choice": give up even MORE of your privacy for greater convenience!

Isn't this just more evidence that the TSA should be ABOLISHED, instead of reformed?

I wrote a letter telling Congress to do just that, and I invite you to do the same.

You may borrow from or copy this letter...

The TSA is under fire. So, it is trying to make some improvements, such as...

Transitioning away from "naked" body scanners. Their "reforms" even include a trusted flier program to enjoy a more streamlined screening experience. Sounds good, right?

But this proposal requires you to give up even MORE of your privacy.

It is fundamentally wrong that the people must request permission, from the federal government, to board an airliner.

The Supreme Court said in United States v. Guest (http://tinyurl.com/3dh25r8) that "The constitutional right to travel from one State to another, and necessarily to use the highways and other instrumentalities of interstate commerce in doing so, occupies a position fundamental to the concept of our Federal Union. It is a right that has been firmly established and repeatedly recognized."

The very existence of the TSA, however, spits in the face of the Constitution...

• In violation of the Fourth Amendment, it conducts unreasonable searches against EVERY flier, almost all of whom provide no cause for reasonable suspicion
• In violation of the Fifth Amendment, it denies the right to fly to those who refuse to cooperate -- depriving them of liberty without due process of law

It is not surprising that an unconstitutional agency will abuse its power. Here's just ONE list of ten TSA outrages: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/274033/ten-tsa-outrages-charlie-cooke

No wonder people don't want to fly. According to the U.S. Travel Association (http://tinyurl.com/3canjfy)...

• On average, each person avoids two to three trips a year because of the hassles of airport-security screening
• Which amounts to an estimated $85 billion in lost business for hotels, restaurants, airlines, and other travel suppliers
• And there's a huge loss of productivity from those who DO fly. Think of the time wasted at airports because travelers have to arrive early, uncertain about how long it will take to get through security

YOU know as well as I that if private screeners treated passengers the way the TSA does...

• They'd face lawsuits from the public and likely investigation by the Department of Justice
• And probable criminal prosecution under state laws

Heck, you or your colleagues would probably want to haul them up before a committee to demand answers!

Ironically, private screeners would NOT DARE treat their customers this way...

• Airlines have an interest in keeping their passengers safe
• Airlines also have an interest in making the passenger experience as enjoyable as possible

Under a private airline security system, airports, airlines, and their insurance companies would develop innovative, un-intrusive methods to keep passengers safe. The most effective methods would be adopted by more airlines, who unlike the TSA must satisfy customers.

Airline security may have been "private" before 9/11. But it was still tightly regulated. Congress should abolish the TSA, AS WELL AS federal regulations. Airlines and their insurance companies would be held liable for hijackings, terrorist attacks, or other mishaps.

I would feel safer on an airliner with PRIVATE security and DEREGULATED procedures.

DISMANTLING THE CONSTITUTION: THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS UNDER ATTACK

FLORIDIANS AND THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL (4TH AMENDMENT) SEPTIC TANK INSPECTION BILL

http://links.mkt2557.com/ctt?kn=18&ms=MzkxMzEyNAS2&r=MTM4OTQ3MDQ2MDYS1&b=0&j=MjMyMDAyMTk1S0&mt=1&rt=0

LIBERTY CANNOT BE GRANTED, IT IS OUR RIGHT. IT CAN ONLY BE TAKEN AWAY.

THIS BILL WAS FOUND OBJECTIONABLE TO THE FLORIDA HOUSE. REP. MARTI COLEY TRIED VERY HARD TO KILL IT, AND IT WAS STRUCK DOWN. SHE PROMISES TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT. HER OFFICE WAS OPTIMISTIC THAT IT WOULD FAIL IN THE SENATE.

THE SENATE HID IT IN ANOTHER PIECE OF LEGISLATION AND IT PASSED. SEN. DON GAETZ DID NOT DO WHAT HE PROMISED THE PEOPLE, AND THAT WAS TO WORK DILIGENTLY TO SEE THAT IT DIDN'T PASS. DON'T RE-ELECT THAT LYING SCOUNDREL, EITHER.

THIS BILL WILL CAUSE MANY FLORIDIANS WHO ARE JUST HANGING ON FINANCIALLY, TO LOSE THEIR HOMES, BECAUSE INSPECTIONS ARE AT THEIR EXPENSE, EVEN IF THEY DO NOT HAVE TROUBLE WITH THEIR SEPTIC SYSTEMS. PEOPLE ON LOW OR FIXED INCOME CANNOT AFFORD THESE INSPECTIONS NOR CAN THEY AFFORD TO REPLACE THE SYSTEMS. A SEPTIC TANK PUMPING IS $250 IN THIS AREA. TO DIG IT UP, PULL IT, INSPECT IT, HAVE THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT IN - WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WILL COST? WHAT IF THEY DAMAGE A GOOD TANK? THE HOMEOWNER HAS TO PAY.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: IF YOUR SEPTIC TANK IS LESS THAN FOUR FEET FROM YOUR DRIP LINE, IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. WHY?

A NEW SEPTIC TANK COSTS ABOUT $12,000.

IF WE DON'T COMPLY WHETHER IT'S ON CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLE OR LACK OF MONEY, WHAT THEN?

THIS IS A CLEAR ASSAULT ON OUR PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND OUR RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

CALL YOUR SENATORS IF YOU DON'T WANT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO SEND A SEPTIC TANK INSPECTOR TO YOUR HOUSE, AND GIVE OLD JIMMY THE GREEK PATRONIS A CALL WHILE YOU'RE AT IT AND TELL HIM WHAT YOU THINK.

HOOK US UP TO SEWERS, YOU CRETINS, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO BE BURDENED BY THIS CRAP. YOU WANT TO PROTECT OUR WATER? THEN YOU MAKE SURE THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY TO START THE PROJECT. START WITH YOUR ENTITLEMENTS AND SALARIES.

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF BEING BULLDOZED, MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD AND STAND AGAINST THIS BILL!

Tampa, FL: 4th Amendment trashed as airport tyranny hits the streets

http://www.prisonplanet.com/fourth-amendment-trashed-as-airport-tyranny-hits-the-streets.html

Our Amazing, Disappearing Fourth Amendment

Too, too familiar.

So what do we do?

We elect conservatives - starting with the next election. They don't have to be Republican.
They need not be RINOS. They need to have impeccable, verifiable credentials and honor the Constitution.

THEN WE IMPEACH OBAMA...TODAY, TOMORROW, ANY OLD TIME.

Jane Q. Republican on Interpol's immunity

http://janeqrepublican.wordpress.com/2009/12/28/some-questions-for-the-doubters/

Last night I heard on the radio that when Ronald Reagan allowed Interpol to work within the US, he insured that they abide by the Fourth Amendment.

Not so now. Obama has allowed them free rein, and they do not have to respect American law or the Bill of Rights.

This is outrageous and should make you extremely concerned for your safety. Our Fourth Amendment - go read it - is a right. We are Americans. Not subjects of the Queen nor anyone else.
