Rep. Kirkpatrick just sold you out to AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Rep. Kirkpatrick just sold you out to AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.

Your member of Congress, Ann Kirkpatrick, just sold you out to AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.

Infuriatingly, she was among 74 House Democrats who signed industry-backed letters telling the FCC to abandon efforts to protect Internet users by prohibiting big companies from blocking Internet traffic.

Not only is this letter an attack on net neutrality, but by signing the industry letter, your member of Congress is attempting to drastically undercut the FCC’s ability to make a fast, affordable and open Internet available to everyone in America — she is actually taking a position against the interests of rural and low-income communities.

We can no more trust AT&T, Verizon and Comcast to protect a free and open Internet any more than we could trust BP to protect the oceans.

38% of Arizonans prove why “Democracy” does not work.

Monday, May 31st, 2010

PHOENIX (AP) – Secretary of State Ken Bennett says 38% of eligible voters participated in the May 18 statewide special election that coincided with local voting in some parts of the state.

Bennett and other top state officials on Friday approved the canvass for Proposition 100, the 1-cent sales tax increase that takes effect on June 1st.

The canvass had nearly 1.2 million votes cast on Proposition 100, with 64% of voters approving Proposition 100 and 36% rejecting it.

In a “Democracy,” approximately two-thirds of 36% of eligible voters voted for an increase in taxes of eighteen-percent. We can only speculate why 64% of Arizona voters could not find the time to stop this vote “for our children.”

July 10: End the Federal Reserve Day

Monday, May 31st, 2010

“They call me a brainless Tory. Now tell me, which is best? To be ruled by one tyrant three-thousand miles away, or by three-thousand tyrants not a mile away.”—The Rev. Dr. Mather Byles, Sr.

Since recent polls reveal that 80% Favor Auditing the Federal Reserve and 68% Believe U.S. Economy is in a Recession, we feel it is a good time to propose an appropriate day to target the real problem. We recommend July 10 to celebrate

End of the Federal Reserve Day!

A gift to America from the Federal Reserve Board

Our recommended proclamation: “Congress declares that this day be used to vote into passage by the House of Representatives and the Senate H.R. 2755 to end the Federal Reserve Board as introduced to the 110th Congress by the Honorable Dr. Ron Paul and to account for all of the measures they have taken by voting into passage H.R. 1207. We invite the People to conduct appropriate ceremonies and demonstrations to ensure that we honor this most noble effort.”

Most people do not even know what sparked the War of Independence in the United States. We are taught, in public school, to point to the stamp act and the tax on tea. The reasons, however, are deeper than that.

The Stamp act, indeed, was one of the “intolerable” acts. It allowed soldiers to write their own warrants to enter homes to check and make sure that the King’s stamp was on all documents, letters and even furniture. If not, they could confiscate them all—and even your house—and arrest you.

68% Oppose Boycotts of Arizona Over New Immigration Law

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

Boston and Los Angeles were among the first to announce boycotts of Arizona, but 68% of Americans say it’s a bad idea for other cities or states to boycott Arizona over its new immigration law.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that only 14% of Adults think it’s a good idea for cities or states to join that boycott. Ten percent (10%) don’t care one way or the other, and nine percent (9%) more are undecided.

Forty percent (40%), in fact, say they would avoid doing business with any city or state that boycotts Arizona. Forty-three percent (43%) disagree and would continue to do business with boycotting cities or states. Seventeen percent (17%) aren’t sure.

Obama to Arizona Governor: Don’t Call Me, I’ll Call You

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

FOX News photo

President Obama (Poll: Presidential Approval Rating -11) has turned down Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s request to meet while she’s in Washington next week as tensions mount between his administration and Arizona over the state’s new law cracking down on illegal immigrants.

Brewer will be in Washington to meet with other governors. She said Friday that she had asked to meet with Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to discuss border security and immigration. But Obama’s schedule “doesn’t allow for a meeting” with her, White House spokesman Adam Abrams said, adding that the president “does intend to sit down with the governor in the future.”

Memorial Day to honor Veterans begins.

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

Flags line Route 66 in honor of this day which memorializes our POWs, Veterans and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country

The Memorial Day weekend in Williams began with the Saturday parade. The Williams Kiwanis Club set up the swap meet on the west end of town and will be a fixture throughout the summer.

The Veterans of Cordova Post #13 led the parade and the parade was longer than usual filled with those hoping for election this year.

Kiwanis Club Swap Meet, a weekend summer fixture in Williams.

The Williams Dodgers once again beat the Williams Yankees in a 1 point heart-breaker, 0-1, remaining undefeated for the Little League season.

Events for the weekend include barbecues and the Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center trying to get the pool reopened, and other things to do.

Even candidate for Congressional District 1, Bradley Beauchamp, joined the festivities designed for distraction of those enjoying time off from work.

We should never forget, however, that the very title of this day tells us that it is meant to memorialize those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Freedoms which are being slowly eroded by those in our government. We still must remember those who are still missing and those who were POWs. And we must remember that we still have those serving overseas that should be returned home in honor for they have served their time.

Veterans of Cordova Post #13 lead the parade on Route 66.

Don’t forget the “real” Arizona in your Buycott

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

There are many planning to travel to Arizona to buycott the boycott. You might get your face on the news in Phoenix, but remember you are supporting a sanctuary city. So, too, if you visit Flagstaff or Tuscon.

This gives you the opportunity to see the “real” Arizona. Yuma, for example, is not suing. Nestled along the Colorado River they offer a wide variety of activities. Visit the infamous Yuma Territorial State Prison.

‘Death panels’ were an overblown claim – until now

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Micheal Tanner
The Daily Caller

During the debate over ObamaCare, the bill’s opponents were excoriated for talk of rationing and “death panels.” And in fairness, with a few minor exceptions governing Medicare reimbursements, the law does not directly ration care or allow the government to dictate how doctors practice medicine.

But if President Obama wanted to keep a lid on that particular controversy, he just selected about the worst possible nominee for director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the office that oversees government health care programs. Obama’s pick, Dr. Donald Berwick, is an outspoken admirer of the British National Health Service and its rationing arm, the National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness (NICE).

“I am romantic about the National Health Service. I love it,” Berwick said during a 2008 speech to British physicians, going on to call it “generous, hopeful, confident, joyous, and just.” He compared the wonders of British health care to a U.S. system that he described as trapped in “the darkness of private enterprise.”

Berwick was referring to a British health care system where 750,000 patients are awaiting admission to NHS hospitals. The government’s official target for diagnostic testing was a wait of no more than 18 weeks by 2008. The reality doesn’t come close. The latest estimates suggest that for most specialties, only 30 to 50 percent of patients are treated within 18 weeks. For trauma and orthopedics patients, the figure is only 20 percent.

Obama Lies about National Guard troops on the border?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

No, Obama did not lie. He was just satisfied to let people THINK that the guard troops were coming in support of Article IV., Section 4 of the Constitution. In reality, they are here to be used against American citizens.

Remember the heady days of health care when violence ruled the streets? That is, violence caused by those who supported health care. Not the terrorists of the Tea Party. Remember when we could call a person who opposed health care a Racists and get away with it? Even Jimmy Carter had lust in his heart to call those racists who are tired of the government thinking of the Constitution as a G** D*** piece of paper. Remember how the White House vigorously used the term racists against those who opposed health care?

O, that’s right. They came out and truthfully said that they did not use the term racist against those who opposed health care. Obama was just satisfied to let the media run with that term for nearly two-months before coming out and saying that they did not agree with it. After the damage was done.

The big O learned from that, though. He announced that he will send 1200 troops to the border. He was happy to let the media run wild with the story of National Guard troops having illegals face-down in the burning sands of the desert with tanks and M-16s pointed squarely at their heads.

And I quote…

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”—Samuel Adams

Recession Saw Rise in Shaken-Baby Cases

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

The stressful effects of a faltering economy, skyrocketing unemployment and precarious personal finances can be dire. People take up smoking or use alcohol to cope, they become depressed or suicidal, and they develop stress-related illnesses like heart disease. Now researchers report that the harm may be spreading to children too, when parents’ stress leads them to inadvertently injure their children.

Presenting May 1 at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Vancouver, a team of researchers led by child-abuse expert Dr. Rachel Berger at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh reported a significant increase in cases of shaken-baby syndrome, in which youngsters are shaken violently by an adult, since the start of the current recession. Researchers analyzed data on 512 cases of head trauma in the children’s centers of four hospitals (in Pittsburgh, Pa.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; and Seattle) and found that the number of cases had increased to 9.3 per month as of Dec. 1, 2007, compared with 6 per month prior to that date — a rate that had held steady since 2004.

Corrective measures can be taken!

1. Get rid of all taxes except a sales tax not to exceed 10% ever.
2. Get rid of health care, Social Security, Medicare, Welfare and other government give-away programs designed to enslave people.
3. Return to the Republic form of government guaranteed by the Constitution, Article IV, Section 4.
4. Quit using public schools to teach that we are going to blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons if global warming does not kill us all first.
5. If anyone comes here illegally, no matter how long, send them home and make them do it right. Bring our troops home from places where we should not be and put them on the border where they are supposed to be. Use the money saved to teach our students a skill that gives them hope.
6. Teach the children the truth about the Constitution and that their rights are not granted by the government. That should give them a change.
7. Re-outlaw government spying on citizens which increases stress.
8. End the FEDERAL RESERVE NOW which caused the Great Depression, the burst of the housing bubble and ordered the Congress to bail-out failed banks.

If you let people keep what the people—NOT THE GOVERNMENT! The GOVERNMENT produces and works for NOTHING!—worked to earn and they can afford to pay the doctor, the lawyer and the Indian Chief. And even have enough left over for a house and food and clothes for their kids.

China uneasy in support for North Korea

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

THE first crack has appeared in China’s resolve to shelter North Korea from international sanctions, with a prominent Chinese scholar saying his country’s foreign policy has been ”hijacked by Dear Leader”.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stood by South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak in Seoul yesterday to pledge her full support for his stance against North Korea’s belligerence and provocation.

She said there was no room for doubting last week’s findings that it was a North Korean torpedo that sank the warship Cheonan on March 26, killing 46 sailors.
