11.22.08: End The Fed
National Day of Support for Constitutional, Sound Money

This is a HEADS UP to everyone who cares about their future –
in 4 days patriots will meet in 38 cities across the country to End the Federal Reserve and we need YOU there!

Are you ready to step away from the computer and join us?

WHY //

The Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional institution (see U.S. Constitution, Section 8, Clause 5) that drains the wealth of the American people through the inflationary process.

Despite silence on the true cause of our financial mess, every day it becomes more and more apparent that the #1 issue in our country is the economy and the falling dollar. Who is to blame for this? Who is printing all the money that drives down the value of our dollar? Who controls the interest rates upon which the fate of our banks, credit cards, loans, mortgages, and lives depend? These are very important questions to ask yourself.

One needn’t be an economist to understand: the Federal Reserve is neither federal, nor do they have any reserves. Our dollars are no longer backed by gold or silver. It is a “fiat” currency, and every economy that has used fiat currency in the past has ultimately collapsed. It’s time we demand that Congress END THE FED.

On November 22, 1910 the Federal Reserve Act was conceived at a private meeting of elite bankers. Ninety-eight years after its conception, we will gather to signal the end of its reign!

Patriots from across the country will join together to protest the Federal Reserve system. Activists will demand an END to private banker control over the nation’s money supply and the return to a hard, commodity backed monetary system.

In Columbus TONIGHT: Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul’s Choice for President

Are you sick of the two-party system? Are you settling on the lesser of two evils because you don’t think there’s any alternative? Have I got good news for you!

Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party candidate for President (endorsed by Ron Paul!) is coming to speak for free tonight at Capital University.

If you want a break from the two-party rhetoric and want to hear some REAL solutions — this event is for you. If you want to see a candidate that’s too dangerous to the status quo to ever be allowed on CNN or Fox News — this is it.

…Wait, who in the heck is Chuck Baldwin??

Good question. I don’t blame you for not knowing anyone besides McBama.

Chuck Baldwin is a citizen of the United States of America just like you and me. The difference is that he is not an elected politician offering the same old political answers. Chuck Baldwin has talked the talk and walked the walk. He doesn’t have a history of flip-flops and he does not test the wind every time he takes a position. Refreshing isn’t it?

After Chuck and his wife Connie were married, he enrolled in Liberty Bible Institute at Liberty University. Since then he’s earned his Bachelor and Master Degrees in Theology and has received two honorary Doctorate Degrees.

Chuck is a founder and minister at the Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, FL. Under his leadership the Church was recognized by President Ronald Reagan.

Chuck Baldwin is also a radio talk show host and an accomplished author. He moderates a daily, a one hour long call-in show where he addresses current event topics from a conservative point of view. He’s also a newspaper and internet columnist whose articles and political commentaries are carried by a host of internet sites, newspapers, and news magazines. Here’s his latest article, A Wasted Vote.

As President, Chuck Baldwin would:

  • REFORM THE MONETARY SYSTEM by providing no amnesty to Wall Street, ending all unconstitutional spending, cutting taxes, and curbing regulation
  • REPEAL THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACT and restore constitutional money that is interest-free and backed by gold
  • ABOLISH THE IRS, ELIMINATE THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX, and restore a tariff-based revenue system
  • BRING AMERICAN TROOPS HOME and end all undeclared wars
  • DEFEND THE RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY
  • PROTECT AMERICAN JOBS by ending international trade agreements such as NAFTA, WTO, and FTAA
  • RESTORE AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY by withdrawing from the United Nations and ending all foreign aid
  • STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND REJECT AMNESTY
  • PROTECT THE LIFE OF THE UNBORN
  • ELIMINATE FEDERAL CONTROL OF EDUCATION
  • RESTORE SECOND AMENDMENT GUN RIGHTS

If any of these issues are important to you, I hope you’ll join us tonight.

2008 Ohio Ballot Issues - A Libertarian’s Perspective

Vote Libertarian

This is my first year making voting decisions as a libertarian. Turns out, it makes voting even easier — either it follows the Constitution and free-market principles or it doesn’t.

Here’s where I currently stand on the 2008 Ohio ballot issues, along with links to the official ballot language (PDFs):

  • Issue 1, earlier filing deadlines for statewide ballot issues:

    Strongly Against.

    The Libertarian Argument: Citizen-initiated ballot issue rules are hard enough, why make it even harder? Thinking about the upcoming state income-tax removal proposal soon to be worked on by the Ohio Freedom Alliance and Libertarian Party of Ohio, why would we want to make our deadline for signatures even sooner?

  • Issue 2, authorize the State to issue bonds to continue the Clean Ohio program for environmental revitalization and conservation:

    Against.

    From the SOS website, here’s an argument against it:

    Issue #2 Would Authorize the Government to Spend More in Bond Money. The economy is in bad condition. When times are hard, this is when we must tighten our belts and spend only what is necessary and only what we can cover with incoming revenues. Issue #2 authorizes the government to take out more debts to pay for environmental revitalization and conservation. While this may be worthwhile, the State of Ohio should not be going into further debt.

    Passing Issue #2 Means Taxpayers Will Have to Pay Back These Bonds. Issue #2 authorizes $400 Million Dollars in debt to be used for conservation purposes. You and your children will have to pay this money back. This money could be retained by taxpayers for their own purposes or used for other plans and directly helping people in need.

    The Libertarian Argument: Look— I love our parks and trees, really I do. But if Ohioans are sincerely concerned for the environment, they can donate money to their preferred non-profit environmental organization instead.

  • Issue 3, amend the constitution to protect private property rights in ground water, lakes and other watercourses:

    Against.

    Again, from the SOS website, here’s the argument against it:

    Issue #3 is an unnecessary addition to the Ohio Constitution. The Supreme Court of Ohio already determined that private property owners have rights to the ground water underlying their land and to the watercourse flowing on and through their land.

    Issue #3 makes changes to the Constitution so specific that they mention legal doctrines that are not contained in the Constitution. What if those legal doctrines change by court rulings? Parts of our Constitution would no longer be relevant. That is not appropriate for our Constitution, which is supposed to be the voice of the People.

    Issue #3 does not give an accurate picture of a private property owner’s rights. Property owners do not actually own the water beneath their land. They have a right to a reasonable use of that water, but the state always has the power to regulate how it is used and take it for just compensation. Issue #3 gives private property owners the false sense of security that their land cannot be taken away at a later date.

    The Libertarian Argument: If we already have these private property protections through the Ohio Constitution and Supreme Court decisions, what is the purpose of this issue? I will always opt to NOT grant more power to the State, unless I am absolutely convinced there is no ulterior motive.

  • Issue 4, requiring paid sick leave for employees in Ohio:

    N/A

    This issue was withdrawn by petitioners’ committee on Sept. 4th.

  • Issue 5, making changes to check cashing lending, sometimes known as “Payday Lending,” fees, interest rates and practices:

    Against.

    The Libertarian Argument: It’s an infringement on the free market. While I personally would never use a payday lending service, if other people want to use this consumer option, it’s their choice, not the State. I do NOT want the State to be regulating interest rates, ever.

  • Issue 6, casino near Wilmington in Southwest Ohio and distribute to all Ohio counties a tax on the casino:

    Against.

    The Libertarian Argument: While I have no problem with people gambling if they choose to, this amendment would grant a one-casino monopoly in the state. If we’re going to bring in casinos, we should do it in a free market way.

One last IMPORTANT note about voting in Ohio: The most secure way to vote is by ABSENTEE BALLOT, making sure to deliver it IN PERSON to the Board of Elections office.

This means your vote is recorded ON PAPER, not Diebold (Optiscan) machines!

Some people go so far as to make copies of their ballot and get it notarized — that’s all up to you.

This advice comes to me direct from a friend who works with the Citizens Alliance For Secure Elections, a group that is highly involved in the investigations of Ohio voter fraud in the 2004 Presidential election. For more information on why you should be terrified of Diebold machines, check out this Scientific American article.

Advantages of this suggested voting method:

  • If lines are long or voting machines have problems, voting could take a long time and some people may choose to leave the line without voting.
  • Weather could be a problem in November, voters often must wait outdoors.
  • If your ID is not accepted, you have to cast a provisional ballot which might be rejected.
  • Due to HB3 and a 60-day mailing, you may be required to vote provisionally regardless of having correct address, precinct, proper ID and proper voter registration.
  • If your fill out a provisional ballot at the wrong precinct (even at the right polling place), your ballot will definitely be rejected.
  • Ballot will not get lost or delayed in the mail

Keep in mind it’s only the beginning of October, and if the previous years are any indication, the voting rules will inevitably change time and time again, making voters even more confused.

In my opinion, it’s best to be safe and follow these four steps:

  1. Make sure your registration is current.
  2. Request an absentee ballot.
  3. Deliver it in person (on or before Election Day.)
  4. Know that your vote is as secure as it can possibly be in this ridiculous and phony “democracy” we live in.

Be On the Lookout Ohio: These People Are Wanted For Treason

These people are now wanted for treason against the United States of America (Article III, Section 3.)

They’ve sold out the republic and all of its citizens to the bankers. They are no longer deserving of the labels “Senator” or “Congressperson” and should never be voted for again.

RIP Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, one of Ohio’s great leaders

Yesterday we lost another anti-war, pro-impeachment representative, Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones. A representative of the Cleveland-area, she died of an aneuryism yesterday. She was only 58-years old.


Sep 10, 1949 - August 20, 2008

As always, I will maintain my skepticism of the official story until I hear otherwise. Either way — she will be missed, and my thoughts go out to her family and friends, as well as the constituents she represented.

Here she is in one of her many great moments, objecting to the official certification of the 2004 election:

And her objection to the Iraq surge plan:

We Are Change Ohio asks Obama about the Federal Reserve

“What would possess people to drive 4 hours in the rain to a city they’ve never been in to ask questions of politicians that cannot even hear their voices? Because the alternative is doing nothing. Wake up please!”

- Statement in We Are Change Ohio’s latest video

Obama was asked yesterday by my friends with We Are Change Ohio about the Federal Reserve and the dollar crisis — aka the ECONOMY, stupid.

Being the perfect puppet that he is, his response was that “the dollar can be strengthened again once our economy is strengthened.”

Yes, that was really his response. So it has nothing to do with the money supply, eh? Nothing to do with printing and printing until we run out of ink? Money backed by gold is just a silly thing of the past? We just need more “faith” and suddenly our dollars become worth something again? Why didn’t anybody else think of that?!

Now I finally understand what the big deal is with Obama. He’s BRILLIANT!

Of course the crowd clapped wildly at such a marvelous answer. Such good little sheep…


Pay no attention to this pesky data Mr. Obama!

He then feigned ignorance when asked about his foreign policy advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski.

In case you’ve never heard of this elitest puppeteer, he co-founded the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller and has all kinds of shady past political dealings I could cite here. He’s Dick Cheney’s soul mate, basically. Nothing about him says “CHANGE.”


Pay no attention to this picture of Brzezinski with Bin Laden in the 70’s Mr. Obama!

At the end of the video you’ll also see Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, and Senator Obama asked whether they’d support a new 9/11 investigation that the family members are calling for. All of them responded by not responding.

Whoever is considering throwing away their vote on this puppet of the elites and bankers, please consider the impact it will have on your children and how you will go about raising them in a depression. Do you know how to collect and purify rainwater? Do you know how to can your own food after you’ve harvested it? Do you know how to speak Chinese? Do you know how to start a fire using Federal Reserve Notes as kindling? If not, you may want to reconsider your vote.

Without further ado, the video:
