It seems that America has become a country obsessed with classifying its citizens into different racial and ethnic sub-groups. President Obama is routinely called the first Black president, but isn’t he also half white? To be more accurate, isn’t he really the first mixed race president? The media and special interest groups constantly refer to him as the Black president. Americans are constantly being bombarded by government and media reports of the first Hispanic person to do this, the first Asian person to do that, or the first Black person to do something else.
My message to the government bureaucrats, the special interest groups and the mass media is that the vast majority of Americans don’t care what a person’s race or ethnic origin is. Throughout our history, Americans of all races and ethnic backgrounds have fought and died as one people to preserve this country’s freedoms and liberties, not to separate us or divide us into racial and ethnic groups.
America has always been known as a country of rugged individualism based on individual freedom and liberty, not race and ethnic origin. Most Americans do not care if Black people comprise 12.1% of the population or 14.3%. They do not care if Hispanic people comprise 19% or 28% of the population. The Racial and Ethnic classification of Americans is nothing more than institutionalized racism and must be ended. Rather than helping a diverse population become assimilated and united as one nation, the Federal government is doing what the Nazi government of Germany did in the 1930’s and 40’s; creating government supported institutionalized racism by the intentional classification of it’s citizens by race and ethnicity.
Americans are also beginning to realize that racial and ethnic identification is more a matter of personal choice than anything else. In the 2000 Census, seven million American citizens refused to place themselves into a single category by refusing to describe themselves as only white, black, Asian, Latino or any one of the other specific categories listed, because they were of mixed race. Attempts by the government to create a “mixed race” box for the 2000 Census was met with resistance by racial and ethnic special interest groups like the NAACP and the National Council of La Raza, because they feared that a mixed-race box could pose a danger to the justification for their existence.
The only groups that actively support the continued collection of racial and ethnic data are big government bureaucrats and "racial and ethnic special interest groups” that also happen to receive significant funding from the federal government. These organizations argue that identifying people by race and ethnicity is necessary in order to redress some past injustice and that the federal government must continue to collect and use this information in order to set up special racial and ethnic programs, affirmative action quotas and other set-asides for these groups, many of whom now consist of new immigrants, illegal aliens and non-citizens. Nothing can be further from the truth. In a country where we can no longer ask people what religion they are, what their party affiliation is or what their sexual orientation is, why are we still asking them about their racial and ethnic background?
The fuzzier such racial and ethnic categories become, the harder it will be for these racial and ethnic special interest groups and the government to traffic in them. If a mixed-race category were to be added, every brown-skinned person of mixed race registered in this category would shrink the government’s official count of Blacks, Latinos, Asians or American Indians, eventually reducing their political influence and ultimately the amount of money these groups receive from the federal government, which amounts to approximately $200 billion a year.
With the support of racial and ethnic special interest groups, our federal government seems to view our citizens not just as Americans, but rather as “pawns” in some social science experiment to be classified and separated into different racial or ethnic sub-groups for some unknown purpose. By mandating the classification of Americans into specific racial and ethnic sub-groups, the federal government and the advocates of “diversity” are actually perpetuating institutionalized racism and keeping Americans artificially divided. Maybe that is their real plan.
If we want to help poor Americans escape poverty, get better health care, find a job or get a good education, why should it matter what their race or ethnic background is? The answer is: It should not! Americans need to come together as members of one country and remember that we are all individual Americans, regardless of race or ethnic background. Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired a nation when he voiced his dream for a color-blind nation, a nation in which people would be judged by the content of their characters, "not the color of their skin."
The answer to this government encouraged racism is the concept of Liberty with a limited, constitutional government that is devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than the claims of different racial and ethnic special interest groups. Where Liberty is present, individual achievement and competence are rewarded, not people’s skin color or ethnicity.
The American people need legislation barring the federal government from the collection of racial and ethnic information about them and/or the classification of American citizens by race and ethnicity, including the collection of this data for census information. Exceptions should be made for law enforcement, hospitals and medical research purposes.
I am proud to be an American and it is none of the government’s business what my race, religion, sexual orientation or ethnic background is.

THE SWINE FLU SCARE IS COMING BACK
Anyone who read a newspaper, listened to the radio, went on the internet or watched the evening news on TV back in April and May of 2009 might have believed that there was a real possibility that millions of Americans and hundreds of millions of other people throughout the world could be wiped out by the new deadly swine flu virus that was supposed to be sweeping across the globe.
The worldwide media was turning out countless numbers of stories and producing hundreds of TV special reports about the possibility of a swine flu pandemic, complete with on-site videos with people wearing face masks, colorful graphics and interviews with scores of medical experts-for-hire. But was all this news coverage based on a genuine concern for the health and safety of the people, or was it just media hype designed to sell newspapers, TV advertising, anti-flu medicines and vaccines?
By May 1, 2009, The World Health Organization reported only 331 cases of swine flu worldwide (outside of Mexico), but still declared the crisis to be at level 5 alert on a scale of 6, meaning that they considered this strain of flu an all-out pandemic. On the same date, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that there were 109 cases in the U.S., with several states possibly confirming an additional 22 cases. Did these numbers indicate that a national crisis was at hand? We never did hear the final results of the suspected cases, because most of them turned out to be just the regular flu.
Let’s put these numbers in perspective: According to the Centers for Disease Control, 36,000 Americans die each year (almost 100 a day) from various forms of the flu virus, yet it is not considered a pandemic or a crisis. Worldwide, Malaria kills 3,000 people every day, but the World Health Organization only considers it "a health problem" and not a pandemic. Of course, there are no fancy vaccines for malaria that can rake in billions of dollars in a very short time period when governments and individuals order millions of doses of vaccines and medications in response to a threat of a new flu pandemic.
Back in 1976, when the Swine Flu last hit America, the Ford Administration tried to use the fear of a pandemic to force 220 million Americans to accept the idea of mandatory vaccinations. In a very short period of time, the pharmaceutical industry made $135 million on their vaccines, which had been given to nearly 40 million Americans before the accumulation of fatalities and crippling side effects caused the program to be stopped. When the questionable “pandemic threat” was over, only one person in America had died from the Swine flu, but 25 other Americans had died from the vaccine. By the way, the pharmaceutical companies managed to protect themselves from lawsuits by pre-arranging for the government to assume any liabilities in case there was a problem with the vaccines.
More recently, in 2006, there was another worldwide pandemic threat called the Avian flu. The same type of videos and stories appeared throughout the media. ABC News even pushed the possibility of a pending worldwide apocalypse to the public by featuring a doctor-for-hire who predicted “that 50% of the population of the world could die” because of the Avian flu. Of course that never happened. Although the death of any person is a tragedy, only 257 people in the entire world died from the Avian flu. That’s 257 people out of 6.5 billion. It could hardly be considered a pandemic or a worldwide health threat.
Because of the Avian Flu scare, the Bush Administration purchased and stockpiled millions of doses of anti-flu drugs in case of a future pandemic. Back then, some people thought that the threat of the Avian flu pandemic was cleverly created, manipulated and designed to frighten the American people, in order to line the pockets of politically connected investors and pharmaceutical companies.
If the profit motive was not part of the reason for the hype and the threat to the American people was real, then why did our government not take the overt actions necessary to protect its own citizens? With almost 2,000 official swine flu cases originating in Mexico, most European and Asian countries, including China, temporary closed their airports to flights from Mexico in order to protect their citizens. Our government took no such steps to protect its citizens against this threat and our borders remained wide open with no restrictions or limitations on Mexicans entering the United States.
The Department of Homeland Security advised that they were on top of the situation and were watching people entering the U.S. for signs of illness. On the surface that sounded like the government was at least doing something, until you read the April 27 Reuters report on what is really happening at the border and that “Mexicans were continuing to (illegally) cross the border by car and foot, seemingly unconcerned by the influenza scare and only a handful are wearing masks.” The failure to secure the border in a time of emergency in order to protect the health and welfare of American citizens was a clear sign that this administration had chosen political correctness over the safety of its own citizens. It’s sad to say, but I don’t believe a Republican administration would have taken the necessary steps either.
By mid-May the whole Swine Flu scare was over and the hype died down. The American borders were still wide open for illegal immigrants and terrorists to enter the country; the pharmaceutical companies made billions; the media companies made hundreds of millions from pharmaceutical company advertising and the administration took credit for a job well done. Thank God it wasn’t a real emergency!
Numerous doctors and scientists suspect that the swine flu virus was actually cultured in a laboratory. A mainstream Australian virologist, Adrian Gibbs …; who was one of the first to analyze the genetic properties of the 2009 swine flu …; believes that scientists accidentally created the H1N1 virus while producing vaccines. And Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director, “This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified.” Because of this, the 2009 swine flu virus …; which has yet to be detected in any animals …; has a rather suspicious pedigree.
Just wait until the 2009-2010 Flu season is upon us. The globalists will be at it again, trying to create another worldwide health crisis. The World Health organization will be issuing bulletins and will probably go to a level 6 Alert. Our elected and appointed government officials here in the U.S. will open command posts and will be operating in a panic mode. The pandemic stories and newscasts will be given worldwide exposure, followed by pharmaceutical ads. Some of our federal and state leaders might even call for mandatory vaccinations as they did in 1976.
The threat of a worldwide swine flu epidemic will again be blown way out of proportion. Yes, people will get sick, and yes people will die. That's typical for every yearly flu outbreak. What I am concerned about this time is the threats of mandatory vaccinations, which in themselves are a health hazard. These new vaccines haven't gone through the rigors of normal testing and we will run the risk of a repeat of what happened in the 1976 swine flu outbreak, where there were more deaths from the vaccine than from the flu itself.
Rather than taking a vaccine to fight a virus that may simply make us ill and we would build up a natural immunity to, it would be better and healthier to let the natural immunity happen.
When the 2009-2010 flu season is finally over, the results will be the same. More people will die from the regular flu and the swine flu vaccines, then will die from the actual swine flu. The media and the pharmaceutical companies will make billions of dollars and the World Health Organization and various governments around the world will take credit for a job well done. Thank God it will not be a real emergency!

BARACK OBAMA'S SECRET PAST REVEALED ON VIDEO
To My fellow Freedom Loving Americans,
Many of us were waiting for a 6-part special video series on the Fox Network's Sean Hannity Show on Auguest 9th, 2009 that would show the radical past, radical associates, the extensive coverups and history of Barack Obama.
Why were the videos mysteriously removed from the show with no mention of why they were removed. The Fox Network must have had good reason to walk away after the obvious expenses of production and all the hype that preceded it.
Yes, the program was not aired on August 9th, but the segments somehow found their way to YouTube.
I wonder who was responsible for taking the story off the air ?
What was the real reason the show was blocked?
Is this how the Politburo in our federal Government is 'protecting' us from the truth?
Here are the 6 segments if they haven't been removed before you get to them. Watch it quickly, I expect Obama will order YouTube to take it from their servers as soon as he knows it's out there.I don't know how to download it to a hard drive. If anyone does, please share with the rest of us so we can preserve the evidence.
Here are the 6 segments. Please watch them before the Politburo in our federal government takes them off the internet.

PRIVATE INSURANCE TO BE ILLEGAL UNDER OBAMA HEALTH PLAN
Hasn't President Obama repeatedly promised that under his proposed health care program, all Americans would still have the right to choose or stay in their private insurance plans if they wanted to?
Didn't the Democratic leadership in congress tell us that their proposed health plan was supposed to be the ideal legislation for the "Health Care for All Americans" and that it would still give us a choice?
Well guess what? President Obama and the Democrats have lied to us again.
Take a look at Page 16 of the 1,018 page proposed health plan for America and you will see that there is a provision in this proposed legislation that will eventually make individual private medical insurance illegal. That is correct. The private health insurance that many Americans enjoy today, will be illegal for their children and grandchildren under the proposed Obama plan.
When I first read the paragraph on July 15th, I thought that I surely must be mistaken. Maybe I was misreading the words. Can it be that once again, President Obama and the radical Democrats currently in control of the congress, have promised us one thing and are giving us the exact opposite again?
The answer is YES!
As you can see for yourself, the provision on page 16 clearly shows that their plan is to definitely make private individual health insurance illegal. Here's how they intend to do it.
Under the new federal government's Politburo's NewSpeak header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:
"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law. This means that no new policies can be written by private insurers after the date the legislation becomes effective.
So my fellow Americans, we will still be able to keep our current coverage, just as our socialist government leaders have promised, but here is how most Americans will eventually lose their private health insurance:
1. Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it, and
2. Those who leave a company to work for themselves will no longer be able to buy individual plans from private health insurance carriers.
For years, opponents of the 'public option plan' have warned that if the government gets into the business of offering subsidized health insurance coverage, the private insurance market will wither away and die because they can't compete with mandatory government subsidized plans.
Employers, who now provide health insurance to their employees, including big corporations like Wal-Mart, will gladly give up their private plans because the public option plan will be 30% to 40% cheaper for them, courtesy of you and me, the American taxpayer.
In April of 2009, the nonpartisan Lewin Group estimated that 120 million or more Americans could lose their current employer provided group coverage at work and will have no choice but to end up in the government run socialized health program. That would leave private health insurance companies with less than 50 million potential health insurance customers, which would not be large enough to sustain the private health insurance market. This bill, if signed into law, will kill the market for private individual coverage because it does not allow any new policies to be written after the public option becomes law. Eventually, as more and more Americans are forced into the public option against their will, the private health insurance market will just whither away and die.
The legislation is also designed to finish off private health savings accounts, a goal that the Democrats in congress have had for years. They want to destroy this alternative because no other program gives individual Americans more control over their medical care, and gives the government less control, than these types of accounts. With Health Saving Accounts effectively made illegal under the proposed legislation, one of the key obstacles to the American socialists' expansion of the American welfare state will be overcome.
The dangers of the proposed 'public option' is that it will not be a real option for many Americans, but rather a government mandate for buying government designed care. Freedom loving Americans should be outraged at this advance of government imposed tyranny at the hands of our elected officials.
There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to outlaw private markets in which American citizens voluntarily participate. The Politburo in our curent federal government should not be proposing and passing legislation designed to destroy private business opportunities in America. It should be proposing and passing legislation that is designed to create private business opportunities.
It has taken a review of just a few pages of this proposed legislation to determine that this is a clear attempt to grow not only the size of our government, but to increase the government's control over our everyday lives. Imagine how many more attacks on our freedoms and liberties will be found in the entire document.
Remember that we cannot fully enjoy our freedoms and liberties in America unless our government is limited. As our government grows and becomes more intrusive, it is our freedoms and liberties that are becoming limited! The Obama Health Plan is definitely another attack on our freedoms and liberties.
Didn't the Democratic leadership in congress tell us that their proposed health plan was supposed to be the ideal legislation for the "Health Care for All Americans" and that it would still give us a choice?
Well guess what? President Obama and the Democrats have lied to us again.
Take a look at Page 16 of the 1,018 page proposed health plan for America and you will see that there is a provision in this proposed legislation that will eventually make individual private medical insurance illegal.

Cap and Trade: A Disaster for America
On June 26th, the House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 by a vote of 219 to 212. The bill, also know as “Cap and Trade” legislation, should more appropriately be called “Cap and Tax” legislation because the federal government is trying to “CAP” Americans’ Freedoms and then “TAX” the necessities of living like gas, food and even heating oil.
This bill, like so many other pieces of major federal legislation in recent years, was rammed through congress by the Democratic leadership without even giving the members the time to read it, let alone understand it, all in violation of their now worthless promise to create a more transparent legislative process. The Democrats added 300 pages of amendments to the legislation at 3:00AM on the day of the vote, giving the members of congress less than 12 hours to read the whole 1,200 page bill. Rep. Joe Barton asked repeatedly during the debate on Friday afternoon if there was even a copy of the bill anywhere in the House chamber and Democratic Rep. Ellen Tauscher, who was sitting in the speaker’s chair, repeatedly avoided the question. No full copy of the legislation was ever produced. What was the rush and why were the American people and their elected representatives denied the ability to read the bill before it was voted on? How does this help the American people?
Even the proponents of this massive tax bill acknowledge that it would only have a minimum impact on future concentrations of greenhouse gases and would only reduce the earth's future temperature by 0.1 to 0.2 degrees C by 2100, an amount too small to even notice. The truth is that there is no Global Warming crisis. That is why the proponents of global warming had to change the name to “climate change” because the earth is actually in a cooling cycle. All of the hype and threats of a looming climate crisis have been carefully manufactured and generated solely for the purpose of getting this massive bill through Congress, with a minimum of debate, before the American people realize that they have again been conned, lied to and of course, required to pay even more repressive taxes. How does this help the American people?
The current Democratic majority in Congress, aided by some cowardly Republicans, seem to be constantly working against the freedom, liberties and desires of the American people. They love the “cap and trade” concept because there is a fraudulent public perception that they are taxing evil corporate “polluters” and protecting the American people from global warming and pollution. This is simply not the truth. History shows us that once the government is allowed to create a scarce new commodity like the “rights to emit certain levels of carbon” and then creates the government control mechanism that mandates that all businesses that emit carbon must buy or otherwise obtain these “rights” from the government, the cost for these “rights” is inevitably passed on to all consumers in the form of higher prices at the wholesale and retail level. How does this help the American people?
Peter Orszag, former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and now Mr. Obama’s Budget Director, testified before Congress back in 2008 that “price increases are essential to the success of a cap-and-trade program.” The American Petroleum Institute claims this legislation would mean $4.00 or more for gas at the pump and will cost Americans billions of dollars in higher costs, kill jobs and will not deliver any of the environmental benefits promised. The Black Chamber of Commerce estimates the bill will result in a net loss of over 2 million jobs a year, that is in excess of any new "green" jobs that might be created. How does this help the American people?
Wouldn’t it be simpler just to impose stiff fines on the companies that pollute? Putting a price on these “rights” to carbon emissions is regressive because the burden to pay for these rights will ultimately fall disproportionately on the nation’s poor and middle-income households who spend a larger percentage of their paychecks on things like gas to drive to work, groceries or home heating. It also allows big polluters with a lot of money to keep polluting as long as they buy or somehow obtain these new “rights.” How does this help the American people?
The House version of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 is a very clever scheme devised to redistribute income and wealth. Unlike Robin Hood, who took money from the rich to give to the poor, the federal government will be acting more like the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, because this legislation is designed to take money from the working class and the poor, in the form of high prices and give it to the Wall Street “green tech” investors, private bankers and “green energy” special interest groups who will be involved in the creation of a carbon emission “rights” trading system. How does this help the American people?
Not only will the cost of this Cap and Trade legislation drive up the price of everything that is manufactured in the United States, it will also make American made products more expensive and a great deal less competitive on the world markets. If enacted into law, it will begin the process of a massive transfer of manufacturing jobs and wealth from the United States to second and third world foreign countries that have no such restrictions on their manufacturing and energy producing companies. How does this help the American people?
This is not just a new massive tax increase on hard working American citizens, but rather it is a premeditated and calculated move to further take control of the American economy by the Politburo in the current federal government. This current “cap and trade” bill is bad legislation. It has been written by corrupt politicians and special interest groups for the benefit of those groups. If enacted as written, this bill will be as disaster for Americans in terms of the economy and their individual freedoms and liberties.
Americans must remember that we cannot fully enjoy our freedoms and liberties in America unless our government is limited. For as our government grows and becomes more intrusive, as it is today, it is our freedoms and liberties that are becoming limited!
This bill, like so many other pieces of major federal legislation in recent years, was rammed through congress by the Democratic leadership without even giving the members the time to read it, let alone understand it, all in violation of their now worthless promise to create a more transparent legislative process. The Democrats added 300 pages of amendments to the legislation at 3:00AM on the day of the vote, giving the members of congress less than 12 hours to read the whole 1,200 page bill. Rep. Joe Barton asked repeatedly during the debate on Friday afternoon if there was even a copy of the bill anywhere in the House chamber and Democratic Rep.

Democrats Oppose Move to Cut Off Census Funds from ACORM
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King introduced an amendment that would bar the Census Bureau from disbursing taxpayer funds to the activist group ACORN — but Democrats immediately squelched the measure, King disclosed.
In a release issued on Tuesday, after the amendment regarding the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now was introduced, King said: "It is time for every member of this Congress to go on record in support of or opposition to ACORN. ACORN and its estimated 270 corporate affiliates comprise a complex organizational and financial spider web with all the appearance of a criminal enterprise. ACORN is facing charges of voter fraud and tax violations, yet it has received over $53 million in taxpayer funds.
"Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank and his liberal friends have opened the taxpayers’ wallet to as much as an additional $8.5 billion that could be accessed by ACORN.
"ACORN could soon be running the 2010 census if President Obama, a former ACORN employee, follows through on plans to have ACORN ‘partner’ with the Census Bureau. It is time to cut off ACORN’s access to taxpayer dollars and put an end to ACORN’s involvement in the 2010 census."
On Wednesday, King's office issued another release that read in part: "Last night, Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi and Democrat leaders passed a gag rule to ensure" that King’s amendment "never made it to the House floor."
King stated, "This Pelosi Congress is violating its commitments to the American people so it can protect its political cronies like ACORN . . .
"Democrats refuse to allow a debate, let alone cut off ACORN’s access to the taxpayers’ wallet . . .
"Justice demands that Congress cut off ACORN’s access to taxpayer dollars and put an immediate end to ACORN’s involvement in the 2010 census."
Rep. King told Newsmax in early June that he believes ACORN "has completely the face of a criminal enterprise, and it should be thoroughly investigated by Congress and the Department of Justice."

Speech: A Gathering for Freedom and Liberty
Text of Speech by John Wallace - delivered at the Albany Tea Party's "March on Albany" Rally, in Albany, New York on June 16, 2009.
I want to thank the members of the Albany Tea Party for giving me the opportunity to say a few words at this great gathering for Freedom and Liberty. Our country's Founders told us that Governments get their just powers from the consent of the governed and whenever the government becomes destructive of these ends, it is not only the people's Right, but it is their Sacred Duty to change the government, and that includes the dysfunctional New York State Government.
My fellow citizens, although some foreign countries and terrorists groups do indeed pose serious threats to our country and our state, in 2009 the greatest threats to our freedoms and liberties are not coming from them, but rather, they are coming from within our own country; from our federal government and from our New York State government, because they no longer represent us. That is why we have come here today from all parts of the state, from all walks of life and from all political parties and views: TO RECLAIM OUR FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES.
The America people, including those of us who live here in New York State, are losing our freedoms and liberties because of corrupt politicians, political correctness, a lack of basic common sense by our leaders, as well as the negative influence of special interest groups who are pushing their questionable agendas upon New Yorkers and the rest of the American people from a hundred different directions at once.
In 1863, Abraham Lincoln, described our nation as "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. I'm afraid that is no longer true. In 2009, we now have federal government and a New York State government of the special interest groups, by the special interests groups, and for the special interest groups.
To those New York State and federal elected officials who may be listening out there today, "We The People" have some demands to present to you today:
We demand FREEDOM FROM CORRUPT ELECTED OFFICIALS who accept millions of dollars in bribes from Special Interest groups every year.
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE INVASION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS that costs the American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars every year. We demand that New York State cut off the honey pot of welfare and free medical care that attracts illegal aliens to our State and is bankrupting us; that you mandate employers use an E-verify system in NY and we also demand that you never issue illegal aliens' drivers' licenses.
We demand FREEDOM FROM ELECTION FRAUD. We demand an honest and verifiable election process that produces a permanent, verifiable paper record of the peoples' votes. We demand that the New York State Legislature repeal its motor-voter laws that enable non-citizens and illegal aliens to vote in our elections.
We demand FREEDOM FROM A MULTI-LINGUAL SOCIETY by passing legislation designating English as the official language of the United States and New York State with all official government documents, including ballots, printed in English only; for it is our common language that unifies us and will preserve us as one nation.
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE COLLECTION OF RACIAL AND ETHNIC DATA ABOUT US THAT IS USED TO SEPARATE US INTO GROUPS, (by NYS and the federal government) much the same as Hitler did in Nazi Germany in the 1930's. We no longer ask people about their religion; why do we still ask about their race and ethnic background? We the People should not longer be classified as white-New Yorkers or black-New Yorkers: for We are just New Yorkers; We should no longer be classified as black-Americans or Hispanic Americans; for We are just Americans!
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE ATTACKS ON FAMILY FARMERS and private organic food growers through heavy handed overregulation of our water and food supplies for the benefit of big corporations who for some reason remain exempt. We do not need a National or a New York State Animal Identification System and the use of GROWTH HORMONES and GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS should be BANNED IN NEW YORK and the rest of the country because they are Dangerous to our health.
We demand FREEDOM FROM DESTRUCTIVE INTERNATIONAL TRADE AGREEMENTS like NAFTA AND CAFTA that have resulted in the loss of many thousands of jobs in New York State and millions of jobs across the country. These agreements have destroyed the once strong manufacturing base in New York, and the rest of America as well.
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE ENDLESS CYCLE OF WAR. Only Congress has the Power...To declare War," but no Congress has declared war since December 8th, 1941, the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The U.S. Congress did not declare war on North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Grenada, Lebanon, Somalia, Haiti, Panama, Serbia or Bosnia. Since World War II, over 115,000 U.S. military personnel have died and many hundreds of thousands more wounded in undeclared wars and so-called peacekeeping missions to enforce mandates of the United Nations.
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE UNITED NATIONS AND FROM THOSE WHO ARE PUSHING FOR A NEW WORLD ORDER, who seek to destroy our national sovereignty through international treaties and agreements. We not only demand that America get out of the UN; we also demand that the UN get out of New York and America.
We demand FREEDOM FROM UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND EXCESSIVE TAXATION at all levels of government. Its time to repeal the unconstitutional Income tax as well as the outrageous School Taxes in New York.
We demand FREEDOM FROM OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT SPENDING. Its time that our New York State and federal governments do what the rest of us have to do: Don't spend more than you take in.
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE INCESANT ATTACKS ON OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS including recent attacks right here in Albany County. Thomas Jefferson told us that the main reason for the people to keep and bear arms was not to defend themselves against some foreign power, but to protect themselves against tyranny by their own government. Law abiding American citizens have a right to keep and bear arms. It is a fundamental, individual Constitutional right that we will defend with our lives. YOU WILL NOT TAKE OUR GUNS!
We demand FREEDOM FROM ATTACKS ON OUR INDIVIDUAL PRIVACY AND FROM A REAL ID CARD. We do not want the New York State government, in the name of security, to imbed radio frequency ID chips in our driver's licenses to tag and track us like animals.
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE DRUGGING OF 6 MILLION OF OUR CHILDREN EVERY DAY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY. 10% of all 6-18 year old boys in the United States are currently on psychotropic drugs like Ritalin for attention deficit disorders, despite the fact that there is no independent, scientifically accepted valid test for these disorders.
We demand FREEDOM FROM AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM that de-emphasizes academic knowledge and has dumbed-down our children to a point where many of them can't find America on a world map, but they know how to put a condom on a cucumber. The present system in New York State, and the rest of the country, is designed for INDOCTRINATION, not EDUCATION.
Here in New York, the parents need School Vouchers, School Choice and Homeschool support to ensure that our children have a better chance to learn and become more productive members of society. We give the unconstitutional Federal Department of Education a failing grade of "F" and demand that it be abolished. And to the NYS Department of Education: We are putting you on probation.
We demand FREEDOM FROM THE PRIVATE CONTROL OF OUR NATION'S MONEY SUPPLY. In Our Constitution, the people of the United States granted Congress the power to coin Money and regulate its Value. We never gave a private group of international bankers on the Federal Reserve Board the constitutional power to print Trillions of dollars of worthless, fiat money, backed by absolutely nothing that is destroying our economy, putting our country and New York State into bankruptcy and making debtors of our grandchildren and great grandchildren before they are even born.
Thomas Jefferson warned us that a private central bank (like our Federal Reserve) which issues the public currency is "a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army." We agree. The Federal Reserve should not just be audited, it must also be abolished.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE ARE STILL NO LIMITS TO WHAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN DO, ONCE WE DECIDE TO ACT:
In 1776, our Founders stood up, put their lives and fortunes on the line and declared their freedom and independence from the chains and shackles of the King of England. In 2009, Americans must once again be willing to stand up and publicly declare their Freedom and Independence, not from the King of England, but from the chains and shackles of our own government and from those traitorous individuals and organizations who pull the strings of the politicians and the media like puppet masters from behind a curtain of secrecy, bribery and deception.
The fight for our freedoms and liberties must begin here and now. We must put aside those minor differences that have separated us in the past and unite as one strong political force to restore our Freedoms and Liberties now. We must recruit more freedom loving Americans into our ranks and grow our numbers by the millions.
The road ahead will not be easy and the traitorous enemies within our own country are very cunning, unscrupulous and have unlimited resources. But they are no match for an army of united and determined citizens like us who are prepared to fight the hard battles that lie ahead, as our Founders did 233 years ago, and WE WILL PREVAIL!
Let the word go forth that the year 2009 will mark the beginning of a journey that will leave future generations of Americans a legacy of individual freedom and liberty, a first class education system, a clean environment, a strong and sovereign America with an honest, limited government that will offer unlimited opportunities for their future. For there is no doubt: WE WILL PREVAIL!
Thank you all for coming here today and may God Bless a Free and Sovereign America!
