Garland County GOP

Back in June, while the news media was worshiping at the feet of a recently deceased Michael Jackson, the US House of Representatives passed one of the most onerous bills imaginable with little debate or scrutiny. By a vote of 219-212, HR 2454, the Cap-and-Trade (Cap and Tax) scheme was passed with seven Republican votes! Republican representatives Bono (CA), Castle (DE), Kirk (IL), Lance (NJ), LoBiondo (NJ), McHugh (NY), Reichert (WA) and Smith (NJ) ignored their constituent’s objections to cross the aisle to make this thing a reality.

Amazingly with this thing being very high on Obama’s wish list there were actually 44 Democrats that had enough common sense to jump ship and vote against it. They should be commended for opposing their parties leadership. The Republican turncoats listed above can be thanked for this things passing. If you live in one of their districts, be sure to take notice and send them an appropriate “Thank You” note for offering to raise your taxes by up to $3000 per year while sending American jobs overseas.

Today “Cap and Tax” faces an uncertain future in the Senate. Many senators are already aware of opposition in their home districts and are reluctant to further lower their reelection potential. However, the threat is still there. If we fail to continue to make our objections known to our senators, make no mistake, it will become law. We will be taxed for every bit of energy we consume, produce, or import.

The additional tax costs have been touted by the Democrats as being “only” about $800 per year per family in the US. And what would we get for that price? Well, first of all you would get to contribute an additional $100 to $200 billion dollars in new taxes to the treasury for supporting all the good causes like Acorn’s “Advice to Prostitutes” program. Isn’t it wonderful supporting new business enterprises in the “hood”?

In addition there are lots of new “earmarks” that are just awaiting funding. Companys that produce energy would pay a large portion of that tax and would pass it on directly to the consumers. This “Cap and Tax” scheme is one of the instruments that was created to help fund Obamacare with several hundred billion additional dollars per year.

“Cap and Tax” is designed as a “feel good” program that will cut America’s greenhouse gas emissions as part of a “solution for Global Warming”. No matter that true science shows that worldwide temperatures are actually decreasing and have been for the last five years. How much additional taxation are we really willing to endure just for liberals to “feel good”.

Because of this legislation many manufacturers and energy producers will be forced to shut down American operations and send jobs, along with its energy consumption overseas. Since America is going to be producing less energy and less manufactured goods because of the taxes the slack will be taken up by China, India and other relatively undeveloped and similarly untaxed nations.

Because of their lack of environmental regulations these nations are some of the biggest polluters in the world today! China is today’s largest single polluter, and India is not far behind. They also produce many times more pollution for the amount of energy and goods produced than in the US. As a result of this legislation the net amount of emissions worldwide will go up, not down! But liberals in the US can still sip their lattes and be so thankful that they have cut down on the evil energy consumption in the US. (Don’t mention the unemployment lines. Those are just “Inconvenient Truths”)

Today we are told that about 20% of the pollution seen on the west coast of the US now comes from China. That amount will go up as China assumes a even larger energy consumption role. Jobs will disappear as more companies discover they can avoid the taxes by moving their manufacturing jobs “south of the border” or “across the sea”. American families will be paying more taxes while having less jobs than ever before, regardless of Obama’s promise that 90% of taxpayers would not see their taxes go up.

While Democrats try to minimize the effect of this tax increase, others are not so positive about the size of the tax burden coming from this. Republican sources estimate the annual cost per family to be in excess of $3000 per year per family, and the Heritage Foundation estimates it at over $1500 per year. On September 11th, a freedom of information request resulted in the Obama Administration’s Treasury Department releasing their own documentation that shows that they estimate cap-and-trade energy legislation would American families $1,761 a year in new taxes. This in spite Obama’s no more taxes for 90% of taxpayers pledge.

Any representative, regardless of party, that voted for this senseless travesty on the American public should be put on immediate notice to look for a new job next November. Its time we find someone that will actually represent the people that send them to Washington. This is only one of a series of ill conceived bills that Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are trying to foist on the American public and we should not stand for it in any form! Contact your Senator and let him/her know you are taxed enough already.

Mr. Barack Hussein Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. Obama,

The news of late regarding your push to have citizens report directly to the White House anything they see as “fishy” regarding what is being said about you and your healthcare bill is extremely disturbing. However, this is only the latest of the outrages we have seen coming out of your administration in the short time you have been in office.

For a presidential candidate who promised a better life for all Americans, to bring the races and all Americans together, to do what is “fair”, and to have a transparent administration, you thus far appear to have gone entirely in the opposite direction on all these promises. You can’t promise a better life for all Americans by raising taxes, spending us into bankruptcy, silencing dissenters, over-taxing, over-regulating, and penalizing the very businesses that create jobs, or nationalizing our banks, corporations, and healthcare – this is socialism, sir. You cannot bring people together by pitting citizens and groups of citizens against one another and encouraging neighbors to inform on each other. This smacks of Nazism and Communism. You can’t promote fairness by muzzling those who disagree with you, or giving one class of citizens priority over another as in your healthcare bill. You cannot have a transparent administration by stifling opposing views on the healthcare bill, trying to rush it through before all viewpoints are heard and discussed in an open forum, or labeling those who dare question its provisions as organized right wing mobs and refusing to clearly address their legitimate concerns. This shows me the truly sinister nature of your approach to “governing”. It is ill-suited for a constitutional democracy such as ours, sir. I dread the day you find a way to marginalize or suspend our Constitution in its entirety, as it seems to be a constant impediment to you and your ilk quickly implementing your socialist agenda before we even know what has hit us.

In case you are wondering where I am coming from, I will tell you that I generally vote for Republican candidates but have voted democratic in the past. However, I see the current crop of Republicans as being less and less supportive of my views, including former President George W. Bush. However, and more ominous, I see the current crop of Democratic “leaders”, including yourself, as far less responsible, and substantially less supportive of historic American values than they were as recently as 50 years ago. Most Democrats have been totally hijacked by the extreme radical left within our society and can be considered for all intents and purposes as socialists. I am, by contrast, a principled conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan. What I believe is as follows and you can judge any “threat” I may pose to this country accordingly.

As a conservative, I firmly and, without apology, proudly believe the following:

1) That, in general, the best government is one that governs the least, i.e., that big government means less freedom for everyone. Excessive governmental control is bad for America and Americans.

2) That individual freedoms are God given, not man given

3) That most Americans are inherently competent and should therefore be responsible, and held accountable, for their own actions and choices in life.

4) That government and political corruption and crime, like all other crime, must be exposed and punished regardless of who the perpetrator is.

5) That the rule of law is supreme and that no one, not even the President, is above the law. We have seen far too much of lawlessness and corruption in our political leaders and a reluctance by them to accept the blame for their own failings and misdeeds. Their first instinct, like that of a child, is to blame someone else. This bad example being set for future generations is appalling.

6) That the Constitution of the United States should be the basis of all law and not subject to being rewritten by judicial decree. Conservatives believe in a strict interpretation of the Constitution and zealously support and protect it and all its amendments. For example, I will not own a gun, but I support the 2nd Amendment which grants that right to those who choose to do so. I believe the Constitution does NOT grant the right to abortion on demand, although at one time I was pro-choice. I now realize this was a prime example of judges changing the intent and scope of the U.S. Constitution by judicial decree to suit their own agenda, and this is a very dangerous precedent. Also, the issue of abortion, along with many others, should be handled on the state level in accordance with the U.S. Constitution.

7) That our system of government and democracy itself were established under Judeo-Christian religious principles that acknowledge the existence of God and that are crucial to our continuing success as a free nation. Liberals and socialists have tried countless times to disavow such a heritage and to implement a secular society.

That God and religion should be allowed into our lives, not systematically and totally removed from our society based on the extremist views of the anti-God or anti-Christian minority.

9) That parents should make the decisions regarding the raising and educating of their children, NOT the government. Liberal or socialist views, such as yours, as a goal for America’s school children and the way we should all lead our lives would be a disaster in a free society. The programming of children to believe in a government sponsored political ideology brings back the specter of the Nazi youth and their irrational, blind allegiance to a brutal, murderous, and Godless tyrant. This approach has no business being used in any American school system with impressionable school children. People need to be free to make up their own minds on the issues and not to be unduly influenced, coerced, or bullied by those with politically motivated agendas. We must keep the ACLU out of our schools and out of our lives.

10) That traditional moral and family values are important to the success of a free society and need to be protected and preserved, not mocked and suppressed.

11) In free market principles with minimal government interference, control, and regulation. Wealth is created in the private sector, not by government. Far too often government interference and over-control limits job creation and prosperity. Only in a socialist or communist state is individual achievement, success, and prosperity to be condemned and penalized. Spreading the wealth, as you propose, is a socialist concept which inhibits economic growth and promotes individual dependency on others.

12) In the sanctity and value of innocent human life. All human beings should be considered of equal value and deserving of life regardless of their sex, age, race, religious beliefs, national origin, state of health or mental capacity, or political beliefs. We are all God’s children.

13) In peace based on strength, not appeasement, i.e., we must have a strong national defense based on a strong, well equipped, and well trained military coupled with a defensive ABM shield, if technically feasible. War is never desirable but reality and common sense should tell any reasonable person that sometimes it is necessary to preserve our freedom and way of life. We should never give in to tyrants and terrorists. This approach has kept us free for over 230 years, so why change it?

14) That problems and societal ills are best resolved by the people in the private community and not by government. Government involvement is overly expensive, grossly inefficient, and far too often subject to corrupting political influences. This is undeniable reality.

15) That our economy is best served when money and resources are invested, controlled, and spent by individuals and businesses in the private sector, and not by the government through bailouts, excessive taxation, burdensome regulations, or other controls.

16) That we must maintain our national sovereignty and suppress all efforts by those entities, such as the UN, which would impose international regulations, standards, laws, taxes, etc., on the American people in contravention of our Constitution and representative system of government.

17) We believe in patriotism and love of our country with an appreciation of the sacrifices of our founding fathers and our fighting military and other heroes to ensure our freedoms. We honor such people – not degrade them or label them as radicals or potential terrorists. Conservatives consider it an honor to be an American and will defend our country and way of life at all costs, and without apology or deference to anyone.

18) Conservatives are against discrimination of any kind, whether it be based on race, sex, religion. national origin, age, condition of ones health or mental capacity, or political beliefs. Every citizen of this great country has the Constitutional God-given right to free speech and to practice their religion anytime and anywhere they choose regardless of who it may “offend”. No one shall be silenced, persecuted, threatened, or inhibited in any way solely because of their beliefs. The so-called “hate crimes” law is an attempt at thought control and would result in some crimes that could be charged only against one class of people and not another. This is a clear violation of equal protection under the law. It is a typical over-reaction to previous inequities, but rather than resolve any inequities, it creates others.

Mr. Obama, you may not agree with most of my beliefs. However, sir, you have no right – in this country – to inhibit in any way my exercising my freedom to speak out and to disagree with you. It is free political discourse that is specifically protected by the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Such is the beauty of our country and political system. But as a Constitutional scholar yourself, you sir should know this. There is nothing sinister, radical, dangerous, or extremist about our beliefs. On the contrary, sir, you and those that support your agenda for “change”, as we have seen it so far, constitute a far greater threat to America and to the freedoms all Americans cherish. It is unbelievable that you are so completely out of touch with the vast majority of the American people that you have deceived yourself into thinking that they really want or need all this socialist nonsense forcefully crammed down their throats. However, it does seem that you and your socialist supporters are trying very hard to hide the truth by suppressing any and all discussion, particularly on the healthcare fiasco. I must therefore resist you and your agenda in every legal way possible.

While you may think the above beliefs and my comments make me a “right wing extremist” or a “potential terrorist” that bears watching, in my mind, such beliefs indicate a patriot and one who respects the concept of freedom as a unique and rare blessing to be preserved at all costs. I promise you that I will never commit violence in order to support my beliefs, however, that does not mean that I will not strongly resist others attempting to use violence or other illegal means to suppress my freedoms. Unlike you, sir, I respect the viewpoints of others, even if they oppose mine. I also promise, sir, to do everything legal that is within my power to see that you and your fellow socialists are voted out of office. This is the American way. Unlike you, sir, we will not resort to misinformation, threats, suppression, intimidation, bullying, or surveillance in responding to those with whom we disagree. The truth is the best weapon available to freedom loving people and it will ultimately prevail.

I question your motives Mr. Obama on wanting to be the “leader” of this wonderful country, a country that has withstood the test of time as a democracy. I say this because it seems to me that your primary goal so far has been attempting to destroy everything that has made America the destination of choice for the oppressed and the envy of the free world. Fortunately, two hundred million other Americans, the so-called silent majority, largely agree with me and are now starting to speak up. Although you may try, you cannot silence all of us, or put us all under surveillance or in jail. Free people are not going to give up their freedoms and rights so easily.

You may have noticed that I have not addressed you with the title that customarily accompanies the person who is the primary occupant of the White House. Unlike me and the huge majority of other Americans that are proud to be born in America, I do not believe you are a natural born American citizen according to the Constitution, and therefore are not qualified for the office you are holding. It appears that you have perpetrated, and have so far gotten away with, the biggest hoax ever carried out in the history of our country. I believe this because of your blatant refusal to provide proper proof of your birth, assuming it is available. Why would you not provide it and end the controversy and doubt? Either you have no such proof or you are so arrogant and filled with the idea of your own self importance that you think you are above the law and do not need to comply with it. Either way sir, in my opinion, you are not entitled to the office you hold and therefore not entitled to the respect that normally goes with it.

In accordance with your directive and request, I have reported myself directly to you as, according to your description, a “right wing extremist”. I have fully elaborated on my “fishy” viewpoints and have hidden nothing. This letter is necessarily long and detailed so as to avoid any misunderstanding by you. I am proud to have the conservative viewpoints I have described above and to be whatever you think that makes me. I will apologize to no one for my conservative views and beliefs – and I will never disavow them.

Sincerely,

Gerald R. Vanderbilt, American

U.S. Representative Lamar Smith

Then He said, “We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,”—- And the people said “Sock it to them!” “—- and “Redistribute their wealth.”

And then He said, “Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody”

And the people said, “Show us the money!”

And Joe the plumber asked, “Are you kidding me? You’re going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??”

And “The One” ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe’s personal records were hacked, publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be found.

One lone reporter asked, “That shouldn’t be, isn’t that Marxist policy?”

And she was banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, “With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?”

And “The One” said, “Simple. I shall sit with them and talk kindly to them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!”

And the people said, “Hallelujah!!  We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!”

Then “The One” said, “I shall give 95% of you lower taxes.”

And one, lone voice said, “But 40% of us don’t pay ANY taxes.”

So “The One” said, “Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!”

And the people said, “Hallelujah!! Show us the money!”

Then “The One” said, “I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!”

And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market fully collapsed.

And He said, “I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar wage.  And I shall also give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and even transportation to the free clinics.”

And the people said, “Give me some of that!”

Then he said, “I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas.”

And the people said, “Where’s my rebate check?”

Then “The One” said, “I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and perhaps even the oil industry (Cap & Trade/Carbon Tax) and though electricity rates will skyrocket, we shall soon build wind farms and solar power stations and drive green cars that I shall mandate in Detroit!”

And the people said, “Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal!  But we don’t care for that part about higher electric rates.”

So “The One” said, “Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week) isn’t enough to cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!”   ”Only the fat cats will have to pay.”

Then He said, “Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let’s grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing…”

And the people said, “Hallelujah!!” And they made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though they sold much less of their products.   Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff.  The banking industry was destroyed.  Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.

So “The One” again blamed the prior administration, extended unemployment benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then took over the banks and auto industries.  ”The One” said, “I am the “The One” – The Messiah – and I’m here to save you!  We shall just print more money so the government will have enough!”  ”Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy.”  And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared.

And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to the US ,, and threatened to call in their debts. Other foreign trading partners said unto “The One”, “Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung!  You will have to pay more.. for everything.. as your dollar becomes worth less.”

And the people said, “Wait a minute.. That is unfair!!”

And the world said, “Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced.  Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us.  Now you shall play by our rules!”

And “The One” said “Americans are arrogant, divisive, and derisive!”   “We will listen.”

And the people cried out, “Alas, alas!! What have we done?”

But yea verily, it was too late. The people eventually set upon “The One” and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. But the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change that “The One” had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them from within, and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, “Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!”

But it was too late, and the once-glorious “Home of the Brave and Land of the Free” was no more..

You may think this is a fairy tale, but it’s not.  It’s happening RIGHT NOW,  Already everything down to the last few lines

Last month Montana passed the “Firearms Freedom Act” that exempts firearms, and ammunition manufactured in Montana from all Federal regulation.   It cites the 2nd, 9th, and 10th amendments of the US Constitution as authority and is a direct challenge to the federal government.

See text at: http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2009/billhtml/HB0246.htm

Essentially identical laws are currently being acted upon by the legislatures of Utah and Texas as well.  The effect of these if upheld are tremendously wide sweeping.  There is likely to be a challenge pushed to the Supreme Court very quickly, and with the current configuration of the court it is highly likely that it will be upheld.

This goes far beyond the law’s effect on firearms.  The right to “regulate” firearms by the federal government is claimed under the “commerce clause” of the constitution.  This clause allows congress to regulate “interstate” commerce.  The original intent of that clause was to promote commerce between states, not to control it.  Its prime focus was to to prevent states from placing state tariffs on such goods passing between states.   That clause has been used as excuse for possibly more than  3/4  of the federal regulations passed since the FDR years.  This would put all those regulations under doubt!   (See:  The Commerce Clause )

The 10th amendments states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”   The rights of the states to control intrastate commerce (within their borders) has always been acknowledged.  However, congress has used a very loose definition of what is “interstate commerce” to include virtually anything it wants.  The 9th and 10th amendments have been ignored since Rosevelt’s time.  Montana is now pressing their claim to what has been their rights under the constitution since they became a state in 1889.

Should this be upheld that would remove the authority of the federal government to “regulate” things such as minimum wage, national speed limits, union regulations, drug laws and a host of other things that have userpted the rights of the states for the last 60 years.   Way to go Montana!

Lest anyone be misguided, I did not write this, although I certainly wish I had.  It expresses my feelings so exactly.  I too will give this president only as much respect as the liberals gave the last one and I will do everything I can to help assure his administration will be limited to one term.

This e-mail was first published back last November and has been widely quoted elsewhere.  I have reprinted it here.  I am sure many of you will identify with it as well.

====================================

An E-mail from Larry Sparks  of  Hoover, Alabama

I noted today that Senator McCain and numerous other elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind President-Elect Obama. Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting behind Obama!

I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith, BUT that is it. I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that he is a one-term President!

Why am I doing this? It is because I do not share Obama’s vision for America; I do not share his Pro-Choice beliefs; I do not share his radical Marxist’s concept of re-distributing wealth; I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August); I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%; I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage; I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public); I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America; I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Mr. Obama’s, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right! For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs! They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from ou r Society! They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!

Unite behind Obama? Never! I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!

President Bush made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and “his goals for America .” I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our Country!!

Any more compromise is more defeat! I pray that the results of this election will wake up many Christians who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America ! Please join with me in this fight! God bless you and God bless our Country!!!

The Arkansas state income tax law allows a tax credit for up to $50 per person ($100 per couple) to be claimed on your state income tax for political donations.  To qualify you must donate directly to candidates for state or local office or to state and local  political party organizations.  You still have until April 16th 2009 to make such a donation to the Garland County Republican Party to apply for the 2008 tax year.  Donations to candidates for national office do not count for the credit.

If you have not already made such donations for local/state candidates for 2008 you can  donate to the Garland County Republican Party before you file your Arkansas tax return and receive a direct credit on your state income tax.  Mail your donations to: The Republican Party of Garland County, 118 Second Street, Suite B,  Hot Springs, AR 71913

These donations will be used for the purpose of sponsoring Republicans for election to local and state offices.  This is especially important now as we see things coming up in the Democrat dominated state legislature like striping Arkansas voters of their rights in presidential elections and granting in-state tuition rates for illegal aliens.   If you object to such foolishness, you can help out financially and get credit dollar for dollar on your state tax return so it doesn’t cost you a dime.  Please help us to make a difference in Arkansas!

This week  (March 11th) the “Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA)” was introduced into both the House and the Senate.  The name is an Orwellian term for a bill whose purpose is to strip workers of the right to a secret ballot to decide on whether to form a union.

Under this legislation union bosses could pass out cards to workers and intimidate them into signing by requiring them to publicly fill out a card with no right to a secret or private ballot.  This places workers into the position of receiving peer pressure,  ridicule, intimidation, or outright physical threats to force them to sign the cards.  If they can pressure 50% plus one of the workers to sign the cards it would force a union on the workers without giving them having the right of a private ballot.   This removes the seventy year old rights of workers to have a private ballot to decide such issues.
