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.
