If you believe in freedom, if you believe that only impartial justice can ensure freedom, then you need to think about signing a petition sponsored by the good people at Grassfire Nation. While some in Congress recognize the machinations of Attorney General Eric Holder for what they are, others who should either do not, or are deliberately permitting Holder to act with bias and a complete disregard fo the Constitution in general and the entire Bill of Rights as a whole.

Signing the petition will put added pressure on those in Congress who've not yet joined with those who believe Eric Holder should either resign or be fired. IF the Black Panthers voter intimidation case didn't convince you of the problem with permitting Holder to continue in charge of the Justice Department, then "Fast & Furious" sure should have!

You can sign the petition online on the Grassfire Nation site. 02-29-12

Update 01-25-12: SOPA and PIPA are, for the moment, being delayed. But they're not dead! Worse, there are a couple of other measures in the works (or all but done deals) that are at least as grievous a threat. For more, see

If You Thought SOPA Was Bad, Just Wait Until You Meet ACTA

Go ahead. Take action! After all, the January 18th "blackout" has already got the ball rolling for you. Don't think those protests mattered all that much? Think again! Check out this graphic found at boingboing.net!

Is This the Future of the Internet?

If you don't take action now, it could very well be...

On January 18, in solidarity with those who stood up to protest the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy) and PIPA (Protect IP Act of 2011) bills currently before the House and Senate respectively, Lady Liberty's Constitution Clearing House went dark. The protests were conducted in the hopes that many sites won't eventually be forced by the government to go into the darkness permanently.

While piracy is unquestionably a problem, and while intellectual properties do need protections, both SOPA and PIPA are far too broad in scope. Both would effectively not only permit but encourage censorship on the Internet. As a result, both are unacceptable and dangerous to freedom in their current forms. Keep the Internet free! Learn more about SOPA and PIPA, and take action to protect our unalienable rights under the First Amendment. The links below provide both information and mechanisms for you to do so.

The liberty to express yourself is essential; the inevitable results of curbs, whether planned or unplanned, on such expression is unthinkable. Stand with us and voice your opposition now! The failure to do so could quite literally result in an inability to do so freely ever again. 02-29-12

Federal Court Upholds Obama/Holder Gun Registration Scheme 01-13-12

Despite numerous legal questions and the dubious underpinning of the much maligned "Fast and Furious" operation, a federal court has ruled that multiple gun purchase reports are legitimate and that the regulations are "limited in scope." The plaintiffs will, of course, appeal today's decision.

The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislation Action urges Second Amendment advocates in particular, and freedom lovers in general, to take action in the interim. The NRA-ILA notes that S. 570 would prohibit funding for the reporting program which would in effect void the operation. Click here for more information on today's ruling via the NRA-ILA; click here to find out if your Senator is currently one of the S. 570 co-sponsors. If not, contact your Senator(s) today and ask for their sponsorship and support. 03-31-12

In my opinion, three of the most important overall campaigns in support of restoring our Constitutional Republic are those which would mandate Congress cite Constitutional authority for any legislation; that it actually read bills before they're brought to a vote; and a measure which would limit a given bill to one subject and one subject only. Downsize DC is championing these measures, and the Enumerated Powers Act, the Read the Bills Act, and the One Subject at a Time Act have my unreserved support as well. Please offer them yours.

One of the greatest ongoing dangers, meanwhile, continues to be to our economy. Yes, our economy. The poverty-stricken or the suddenly destitute tend to seek help wherever they can find it. A benevolent Barack Obama stands ready to offer that help. And the single greatest threat to our economy (in addition to the President's version of health care reform) is "Cap and Trade." Learn all you can. Downsize DC has information that will get you started as well as a campaign against the program. Once you do learn more, I suspect that neither I nor anybody else will need to convince you to fight it!
