North Carolina Town Prints Own Currency to Support Local Business

The Tea Party started out as a grassroots movement with everyday people by promoting through blogs, chatrooms, and various other internet avenues.  While some groups such as Arron Russo's Restore the Republic eventually got on board and other new groups have since formed, it began and remains, a grass-roots movement.  Efforts are also underway by some to form a New Continental Congress to discuss further options.  Eventully all these fringe groups will unify their base to create Real Change. Not the same ol, same ol, good buddy what can I do for you, do for me regimes as has been for a century.

I think it's great that Newt Gingrich, Gov. Sanford and the others you mentioned are participating. It shows that not only everyday citizens are answering the call but finally some influential others are also. There are many other elected officials throughout the country that will also be attending as key speakers in all the various cities where Tea Parties are being held.  There is certainly no evidence whatsoever that the Tea Party Movement is some kind of orchestrated effort disguising itself as non-partisan. In fact, the evidence suggests quite the opposite with people coming from All walks of life and persuasion in support of fair taxation and related issues affecting our quality of life and nations economy.

Whatever the reason that people get involved, this type of involvement can only result in wider exposure for the cause of reducing taxes and cutting government waste and eventully all the trouble makers will be weeded out. We don't need tax breaks and stimulus packages... we need tax relief by ridding ourselves of the IRS monster that was born out of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and methods of control against wasteful spending of our tax dollars by elected officials.

While it is true that the tabloid Fox channel, The Huffington Post and some others want to use the event as a protest against the Obama Administration's bailout bills, (your hard earned money going to private domestic and foreign bankers and corporate execs.) most demonstrators are very aware that the problems have deep roots in our nations history caused by shady and unlawful amendments and Bench Decisions that have manipulated and effectively changed the true intent of the Constitution over time.

The United States Constititution has been ignored and/or violated on many occasions and continues to be so. As shown by some recent examples and as so blatently expressed by President George W. Bush in November of 2005, when Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with the President to talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act and an aid expressed concern that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.  President Bush responded by shouting "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face, It's just a goddamned piece of paper!" In another example, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, while still White House counsel, wrote that the "Constitution is an outdated document." This is the tone we hear much too often today and it is time to make it stop.

While in office, Bush proposed numerous amendments to the constitution. members of Congress have proposed some 11,000 amendments over the last decade, ranging from repeal of the right to bear arms to a Constitutional ban on abortion. The United States Supreme court has handed down many decisions over the last century adversely affecting the rights of the people under the Consititution. Just look at the 14th Amendment, it was intended to protect the newly freed slave and others during Reconstruction after the Civil War but the greedy corporations lobbied and sued in court, (and won) demanding the same rights as the individuals it was intended for. You can read more about it here.

Justice Scalia said "Tinkering with the Constitution comes from a loss of rights. We can take away rights just as we can grant new ones, Don't think that it's a one-way street." And don't buy the White House hype that the USA Patriot Act is a necessary tool to fight terrorism. It is a dangerous law that infringes on the rights of every American citizen and, as one brave aide told President Bush, something that "undermines the Constitution of the United States."

The war in Iraq is wrong. The Bush Administration lied to us about the reasons for invading and that is how we got there. The government and the media has worked hard over the years in the dumbing-down of Americans and it took the financial collapse of a nation and world economy to finally snap people out of it. Now we are facing Trillions more in bailing out private companies and banks both foreign and domestic. The worldwide banking cartel is the root of the problem. They have been funding both sides of every war since World War l.

Put aside for a minute, political affiliation or personal beliefs. It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent or Batman. It doesn't matter if you support the invasion or Iraq or not. Despite our differences, the Constitution has stood for two centuries as the defining document of our government, the final source to determine - in the end - if something is legal or right including our civil rights. Every federal official - including the President - who takes an oath of office swears to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. I took a similar oath when I served in the armed services and to this day... stand by that oath. If the people don't act and defend what Bush calls "just a - piece of paper".... who will?  The time has come to roll back and repeal all laws that are unconstitutional and benefit the few and special interests.

As for prostitution, I don't believe that applies here since I'm sure prosititutes have no problem finding employment as shown by the scandals on both sides of the isle who have employed their services on many occasions in the past.

The "tea baggers" (as you call them) are involved now.......how 'bout you?

Obama pours the same koolaid as Bush did, it's just more appealing so you're drinking it faster.

Tell me, is Obama a member of CFR? What think tank does Zbigniew Brezninski have an office in? (he's one of the key people who got him into office)

And do you realize the President most responsible for our current financial problems is not Bush but Clinton? He took campaign contributions from the Chinese and comnpanies doing business with them and altered every policy imaginable to facilitate the industrial revolution in China.  

As for the war in Iraq, well google "petrodollars" and if you realize alot of this is because that 35 year arrangement is slowly unravelling- now imagine if that while thing came down overnight in 2003 or so.... that's right, we removed Saddam because he had switched Iraq's oil sales to Euros and sanctions were going to end and Iran and Venezuela were set to join him. With the US seizing assets of Arab Muslim nations suspected of terrorist ties they were looking to diversify their holdings as well, by the end of 2003 with China, Russia and France having equal parts of a 25 year exclusive drilling rights agreement to Iraq's oil- now surveyed to be the largest reserves in the world- the US faced economic catastrophe.  Congress knew that, that's why they voted for it.

Forget all that, I'm replying to your post because such partisan sentiment is getting nowhere and suggests that because Bush is gone all is swell. It's not.

Obama's tax cuts cannot close all the factories in China or add value to the dollar. BTW, what is a "middle class"?
