As far as grassroots activism goes, the surge in Tea Parties across America is one of the more encouraging developments to recently take place. It reminds me of the "Conservative Revolution" of 1994, when the GOP reclaimed both the US Senate and House of Representatives. At that time, it had been over 40 years since the Republican Party controlled both the US House and Senate. And, between the two, the House victories were the most significant.

Spurred mostly by the election of Bill Clinton in 1992, a host of young, energetic freshman Republicans marched into Washington, D.C., determined to return a burgeoning and out-of-control federal leviathan to the constitutional precepts of limited government. I'm talking about then-freshman House members such as Helen Chenoweth, Steve Largent, Bob Barr, Joe Scarborough, Sonny Bono, John Shadegg, J.C. Watts, etc. These young conservatives went to Washington, D.C., determined to reduce the growth and size of the federal government.

Not Your Father's Army

Most of us Americans have a deep and abiding respect and admiration for our country's fighting men who have served--and are serving--within the US Armed Forces. We appreciate their willingness to put themselves in harm's way for the preservation of our nation's liberty and independence. We honor their sacrifice. Indeed, many of us share that sacrifice with the deaths, dismemberments, and paralysis of our most cherished loved ones who were killed or injured in the line of duty.

It is time, however, that we awaken to the reality of what our military is becoming and where it is heading. Suffice it to say, this is not your father's army.

On December 8, 1941, my father, Ed Baldwin--along with his two brothers, Bud and Gene--marched down to a recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas, to enlist. The Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor the day before, and no branch of service had to beg people to enlist that day. Bud joined the Navy. Gene joined the Marines. When government officials saw Dad's resumé, they selected him to help construct the atomic bomb. All three brothers served their country with distinction throughout the war.

Let's Go Home?

Written by Jim Dowling | 24 December 2009

I'm confronted continually with the acts of a rogue government totally unaccountable to The People, and uncowered by their animosity. I'm confronted with the condition that no ordinary Citizen has "standing" in their own country, in order to defend the Constitution in the Courts of The Land from usurpation and erosion by those who are willfully crafting the demise of Freedom here and in the world.

Today I'm confronted with new governmental enactment that madates (under penalty of law) that every person - by virtue of the mere fact of just being alive - must purchase (forfeit their labor-property) a product (health care insurance) as proscribed by them - the tyrannical Overlords of The People.

2010 Year of the Third Party

Written by Linda Schrock Taylor | 07 November 2009

Yesterday, Doug Hoffman set the stage and turned the tide with his race for NY-23. Naysayers--Democrats and Republicans alike--will argue the point saying, “But he lost!” YEAH-sayers will wisely counter with, “But he almost won!” Hoffman’s run should serve as a green light for third parties; as a call to Everyman. America needs honest candidates with strong ethical principles, and in 2010 HONOR will have its best chance to make a comeback.

Remember typing class from way back when? “Now is the time for all good men [and women] to come to the aid of their country.” The time is certainly now. If Americans will accept the challenge of reclaiming America; of putting it back on its Founding Principles, then this coming year--November 2009 through November 2010--will become the Year of the Constitution, as well as the Year of the Third Party.

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to

Wanted: Men Who Know

WANTED: MEN WHO KNOW AND UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION

While it is evident that leaders at all levels of civil government today are violating the U. S. Constitution, a past Michigan citizen, who was the prosecuting attorney for Mackinac County, a U. S. Representative and a Senator, was respected as a leader who upheld our Constitution.

Prentiss Brown, from St. Ignace, is a fine example of a man with virtue. At the age of 17 he worked on the great lakes steamer Chippewa along with seasoned seamen and rough college students. Raised a Methodist, his first night on board, he was faced with a tough decision; should he kneel in prayer, as was his custom before bedtime, in front of all the men. As he remembered later, “It was a terrible struggle, but with fear and trembling, I did it.” He was surprised when

My Thanksgiving Prayer

That first Thanksgiving in the fall of 1621 saw about 50 Mayflower Pilgrims and 100 native Indians come together for a celebration feast consisting of a variety of homegrown vegetables--including corn, squash, beans, barley, and peas--along with wild turkey and venison. The precise date is not known, but it is believed to have taken place in late October or early November. Historians record that the Massachusetts weather was crisp, but not cold--and the fall foliage dazzled America's newcomers with a cornucopia of color.

These Pilgrims were mostly "Separatists," who had left Europe to seek a land of liberty, where men could be free to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience--not according to the demands of a State church or an oppressive government.

Writing for World Net Daily, Dr. Jerome Corsi states, "A former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher says the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen on Dec. 7-18 is to use global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government."

Corsi quotes Lord Christopher Monckton as telling a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience at Bethel University in St. Paul, "Your president will sign it. Most of the Third World countries will sign it, because they think they're going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes from the European Union will rubber stamp it. Virtually nobody won't sign it."

Analysis of House Bill 5232

“Michigan Firearms Freedom Act”

BILL 5232 PRINTED BELOW

Analytical Summary. While the purpose and intent of House Bill 5232, “Michigan Firearms Freedom Act”, should be supported, in its present form it is extremely weak and watered down. This bill leaves the potential that Federal Government render the bill effectively null and void through statute. With that possibility, the bill would be purely symbolic and not provide the people any freedom that the name would imply. Significant changes are required before this bill will accomplish any measurable reassertion of Liberty.

Details. The bill begins in Section 1 with the customary fashion of providing the appropriate nomenclature of the bill, should it be passed into law. Section 2 continues
