There are three very serious issues at hand and on the horizon that need to be addressed. I hope each one of you will get actively involved. The future of our nation is very much at stake.
DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES
On December 4, 2008 a document referred to as the "Defense Support of Civil Authorities" (DSCA) was entered into the Federal Register. I have attached this document for you to read. This section of the Federal Register contains notices to the public of the proposed issuance of rules and regulations. The purpose of these notices is to give interested persons an opportunity to participate in the rule making process prior to the adoption of the final rules. This document was submitted by the Department of Defense. The deadline for public comment is February 2, 2009. In laymans words, this document appears to do 2 things which are seemingly very unconstitutional! It gives power to the military to take over civilian law enforcement authorities and can be done at the behest of a Presidential Executive Order. It is very broad in its scope and seems to have no restriction as to the circumstances that this could be done. Please read the document for yourself. It is imperative that everyone make a public comment condemning this action. If you would like to go directly to the source to obtain this document it can be found at:

http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=SubmitComment&o=09000064807cc7f0 I believe that this is absolutely unprecedented and a very dangerous rule to the well being of freedom loving patriots. We have but a short time to oppose this ruling, so, please act fast.
AMMUNITION ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
This act is nothing more than a back door to gun control. If they can stop the sale of ammunition, force folks to register every cartridge they buy and tax it out of site they figure they can make our guns obsolete! It will provide a record of every cartridge purchased and who purchased it. In essence, registration of ammunition. There are currently 18 states which have this legislation pending, including Missouri. You can go to
http://ammunitionaccountability.org/Legislation.htm and view the bill in each state. Beware, this website is sponsored by the anti-gun lobby, but those of us who are pro-gun can use it as a resource page to educate ourselves on the legislation and track what is happening. The speculation is that these state sponsored bills are simply laying the ground work for a federal bill of the same magnitude. This legislation was proposed in Kansas in 2007 but was squashed before even becoming a bill. That does not mean it won't surface in Kansas again.
GLOBAL POVERTY ACT S. 2433
As if the economy is not bad enough and as if it's not painful enough to work through July of each year just to pay taxes, they want more of our hard earned money and I don't know about you but I've had enough. They are breaking the backs of the American people and it's economy. You may read the full text of this bill introduced in the US Senate on Thomas, the government website where all federal legislation may be found. The link to Thomas and this bill specifically is:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:s2433: According to other sources, this is not all that is involved with this bill.
According to David Bossie, President of the group 'Citizens United for American Sovereignty', based out of Merrifield Virginia , website:
http://www.citizensunited.org/ The above-mentioned Senate Bill (S. 2433) is a piece of legislation in the works that all Americans need to know about and know now!
This bill, sponsored by none other than Sen. Barack Obama, with the backing of Joe Biden on the Foreign Relations Committee, and liberal democrats in Congress, is nothing short of a massive giveaway of American wealth around the world, and a betrayal of the public trust, because, if passed, this bill would give over many aspects of our sovereignty to the United Nations.
The noble sounding name of this bill, 'The Global Poverty Act' is actually a Global Tax, payable to the United Nations, that will be required of all American taxpayers. If passed in the Senate, the House has already passed it, this bill would require the U.S. to increase our foreign aid by $65 BILLION per year, or $845 BILLION over the next 13 years! That's on top of the billions of dollars in foreign aid we already pay out!
In addition to the economic burdens this potential law would place on our precarious economy, the bill, if passed in the Senate, would also endanger our constitutionally protected rights and freedoms by obligating us to meet certain United Nations mandates.
According to Senator Obama, we should establish these United Nations' goals as benchmarks for U.S. spending. What are they?
The creation of a U.N. International Criminal Court having the power to try and convict American citizens and soldiers without any protection from the U.S. Constitution.
A standing United Nations Army forcing U.S. soldiers to serve under U.N. command.
A Gun Ban on all small arms and light weapons --which would repeal our Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The ratification of the ' Kyoto ' global warming treaty and numerous other anti-American measures.
Recently, the Senate Subcommittee on Foreign Relations (where Sen. Joe Biden sits) approved this plan by a voice vote without any discussion! Why all the secrecy? If Senators Obama and Biden are so proud of this legislation, then why don't they bring it out into the light of day and let the American people have a look at it instead of hiding it behind closed doors and sneaking it through Congress for late night votes.
It may be only a matter of time before this dangerous legislation reaches a floor vote in the full body of the Senate.
Please write or call, email your representatives, the White House, the media, or anyone you think will listen, and express your opinions regarding this Global Tax giveaway and betrayal of the American people at a time when our nation and our people are already heavily burdened with the threats to our freedoms and economic prosperity.
Please send this email to as many folks out there in your networks as you can. And ASAP!
I believe that about covers everything for now. I will continue to keep you informed of anything that I hear. I'd like to leave you all with a couple of thoughts from the Founding Fathers of this great nation:
"Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood."
-- John Adams, A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1765
"No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
-- Thomas Jefferson
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself."
--George Washington
And, quoted from Henry Louis "H.L." Mencken, regarded as one of the most influential American writers of the first half of the 20th century:
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule it."
