American Dream of Liberty

"America has a dream from our founding fathers. That together we must perfect Liberty. And America must grow so Liberty grows." - Dinesh D'Souza (2016: Obama's America trailer)
To me this simply states why America is different from any other nation on the Earth, prior to our Independence and Founding.

And how we are failing to live up to that simple, powerful principle.

The Founders did not conduct a war with England, nor form the Constitution because they yearned for a greater welfare state, or welfare benefits, or social and economic justice by redistribution, but to establish a Republic of Liberty for each individual.

From that individual Liberty each individual should be personally responsible for the welfare of others, by their voluntary acts, not through the compulsory mandate of government. Only by the act of voluntary welfare to others can Liberty be preserved for everyone.

election - King County Conservation District, 2011

###

Citizens' Alliance for Property Rights suggests ...

VOTE BRUCE ELLIOTT TO KING CONSERVATION DISTRICT BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

King Conservation District is a Washington State agency which serves King County.  Its core mission is to provide services to property owners which will help them to be responsible stewards of their land.  While the agency has a relatively modest annual budget of about $6 million, it has the ability to do and help with a lot of important projects.

CAPR urges you to vote for Bruce Elliott in the current KCD election. Mr. Elliott is a dairy farmer in the Green River valley who is an advocate for our natural and working environments and also supports private property rights.  The CAPR Political Action Committee has rated Mr. Elliott "Outstanding" in this election.  To learn more, please visit his website.

Note that this will be an online election.  To vote, please go tohttp://www.kingcd.org/new_ele.htm to register and vote.  CAPR has been told that precautions are in place to keep this a fair election and we are cautiously optimistic that it will be.  For those would rather vote in person, you may do so on one day only, Tuesday March 15thfrom 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM at the KCD office.  That address is 1107 SW Grady Way, Suite 130, Renton, WA.  For those voting online, you may do so until March 15th.

KCD will only be as good as the people we elect.  We have seen bad supervisors in the past squander funds on foolish projects that hurt the environment and abused property rights.  We can trust Bruce Elliott to make good decisions.  In the last election less than 5000 votes were cast.  That makes your vote BIG.  Please vote.  And please pass this message along. 

Jeff Wright
Secretary / CAPR PAC

Tolerate This !!!

###

The answer to the contention of the Ground Zero Mosque is profoundly easy.

The underlying issue of the Mosque is American tolerance. This is easily demonstrated thusly ...

  • Rename the street Tolerance Avenue
  • Advocate the building of a gay social club on one side of the mosque.
  • Further, move the New York Gay Pride Parade to travel down Tolerance Avenue during the month of Ramadan.
  • On the other side of the mosque advocate the building of a Jewish Synagogue.
  • Across the street advocate the building of a Christian Church, Buddhist Temple, and other cultural centers of worship.
  • And don't forget the abortion clinic.
In this manner American tolerance can never again be questioned, and the brotherhood of man may celebrate their diversity together, on the same street, under the gaze of a universal, loving God who smiles down on all his children.

Time to embrace your inner RINO ... and kiss the Republic goodbye.

If you think Scott Brown, nominal Republican, is the solution in Massachusetts, read these first ...

Audit the Fed

* Introducing the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, Statement of Congressman Ron Paul

* H. R. 1207, "Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009"

* Sign the Petition (read below); * Campaign for Liberty

March 12, 2009

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Right now, you and I are seeing the worst plundering of a nation’s wealth in the history of civilization – all led by the out of control Federal Reserve.

If you and I don’t act today, I’m afraid this crisis will end with the economic ruin of every man, woman and child in the United States.

Just think about the scope of the problem for a minute: The Fed pumps trillions of dollars in fiat currency into a system already overloaded by the massive amount of dollars committed to the economic bailouts in recent months.

This TOTALS:

More than the socialist New Deal...
More than the entire Iraq debacle...
More than the 1980’s savings and loan mess...
More than the Korean War...

COMBINED.

Where will it all end?

It’s time you and I put a stop to an out of control Federal Reserve. And Ron Paul has a bill before Congress to do just that.

That’s why it’s vital you fill out your personal "Audit the Fed" petition in support of Congressman Paul’s bill.

Today, $9.7 TRILLION in taxpayer dollars in bailouts and loans have been agreed to by Congress, the Bush and Obama Treasury Departments, and the Federal Reserve.

Poll after poll shows the American people are fed up and are ready for fresh leadership to make their voices heard in Washington.

That means it’s a perfect time to unleash the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION on the out of control Fed!

Please complete this petition urging your Congressman to cosponsor and a seek roll-call vote on Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed Bill -- the first step toward ENDING THE FEDERAL RESERVE once and for all!

As I know you’re aware, the Federal Reserve’s inner-workings are shrouded in secrecy, and their meetings are off-limits to the public.

Just recently, the Federal Reserve told Congress “NO WAY” when asked to account for TWO TRILLION DOLLARS in taxpayer-backed loans!

Well, why do you think they refused?

They know coming clean with Congress and the American people on how they doled out those two TRILLION dollars would result in an anti-Fed firestorm.

So can you imagine the impact of a full-scale audit?

You and I will finally be able to show the American people that the Federal Reserve System leads to:

*** Constant economic crises -- the housing crisis and the resulting chaos is just one example of an economic bubble created by centrally-planned interest rates and money manipulation;

*** The destruction of the middle class -- as fuel, food, housing, medical care and education costs soar, everyone who is NOT on the government dole is forced to make do with less as the value of their money slowly decreases;

*** Currency destruction -- history shows us that riots, violence and full-scale police states can result when people finally realize fiat money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and REFUSE to accept it.

And unless you and I do end the madness in Washington, D.C., we may be closer than we’d like to think to learning that history lesson first hand -- right here on the streets of our towns and cities.

That’s why your commitment to helping the Campaign for Liberty fight this battle is so vital.

Just a few months ago, there was no chance of passing any legislation like Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill.

So I guess there has been one “CHANGE.”

But with the piling up of trillions of dollars in out of control “bailouts” of Wall Street and international bankers, even many politicians in Washington, D.C. want to show you they’re “being responsible”.

What better way for Congress to do this than by auditing the Federal Reserve to account for the trillions stolen from the U.S. taxpayers?

There will be many battles you and I must fight over the coming months to take back our country. But this one is set to rage in Congress in just a few short weeks.

And, it’s a bill we CAN pass!

You see, after regulating, taxing, spending, borrowing and printing us into what looks like the worst recession in decades, establishment politicians and power brokers are assuring us they are working hard to “fix” our economic woes.

So they want to do something (anything) to show you they care.

That’s why Dr. Paul’s bill is positioned to move forward this year.

And since very few politicians understand the Federal Reserve System, they do not understand the threat this bill poses to the borrow-and-spend system they continually vote for.

And even if Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill is defeated, just forcing a vote is a win/win situation.

Can you imagine how many politicians will pay the price at the ballot box in 2010 when you and I tell the American people their Congressman somehow lost trillions of taxpayer dollars and voted against even looking for the money?

Of course, getting a vote won’t be easy, but you know just as well as I do that Ron Paul has proven he’s not afraid of a fight.

Now, we just need to show Congress that the American people demand action on Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill. Here’s how we plan to do that:

First, we’re already busy contacting up to five million activists nationwide through mail, phones and e-mail to generate petitions to the U.S. Congress demanding action on the bill.

But that’s just the beginning.

We’ll work the talk radio stations and grant local media interviews to further turn up the pressure on Congress. And, of course, Ron Paul supporters will own the meet-up groups and social networking sites that first launched our R3volution.

And a few days before the vote, if we have the resources, we’d also like to run hard-hitting targeted radio, TV and newspaper ads.

This entire program is designed to send one, CLEAR message to Congress -- Any politician who votes against the Federal Reserve Audit should look for another job.

But such a massive effort won’t be easy -- or cheap.

So, along with your petition, I also hope you’ll agree to make a contribution of $250, $100, or $50 to the Campaign for Liberty.

I know times are hard, but if we don’t take action, the America we see in just a few years could look much different than the one we see today.

So please, fill out your petition and give a generous contribution of $250, $100, or $50 to the Campaign for Liberty IMMEDIATELY.

Please don’t just ignore this email.

Can I count on you to join the fight to ultimately END THE FED by making a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 -- or whatever you can afford to the Campaign for Liberty?

Sincerely,

John F. Tate
President

P.S. Please fill out this petition DEMANDING your Congressman cosponsor and seek a roll-call vote on Ron Paul’s Audit-the-Fed Bill TODAY!

With Congress spending like never before, and TRILLIONS of new dollars flying off the printing presses, it’s never been more important to expose the Federal Reserve System to the American people once and for all.

So along with your petition, please contribute to Campaign for Liberty. Whether you can donate as much as $250 – or $50 or some other amount, please do what you can. I know any amount in these hard times is a sacrifice!

Campaign for Liberty operates like government should, meaning we will not go into debt. Only your voluntary contributions permit us to do this work.
