US Chamber Ad against Sen Nelson

True Meaning of the Commerce Clause

Important information submitted by our member, Sally Hayes:

Since I believe this is such an important part of the puzzle of whether or not the Supreme Court will overturn Obamacare, perhaps you would consider putting it in our Patriot News.

The Obama administration argues that the power to order U.S.citizens to purchase life insurance arises from the Commerce Clause.  Article2, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution reads that Congress is granted the power “to regulate Commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.”

However, former New Jersey Judge Andrew Napolitano believes that we should interpret this clause based on its original intent.  He notes that this section was written “…to protect the freedom to trade.  Madison used the word ‘regulate,’ which to him and his colleagues meant “to keep regular” So, the Constitution delegated to Congress the constitutional power to keep interstate commerce regular by prohibiting state tariffs, and it did so.”

The article goes on to say, “Madison’s own words confirm that point.  In an 1829 letter, the man known as “the Father of the Constitution” wrote that the regulatory power delegated to Congress “grew out of the abuse of the power by the importing States in taxing the non-importing, and was intended as a negative and preventive provision against injustice among the States themselves, rather than as a power to be used for the positive purposes of the General Government, in which alone, however, the remedial power could be lodged.”

Sincerely,

Sally Hayes

Fight for Freedom

I published a post last week entitled  Never Worked?   It contained a large picture (appropriate since the family is huge) of the Romney Family.  While I’ve never been a big Mitt Romney fan, my purpose was to illustrate the ridiculousness of Democratic operative Hilary Rosen’s attack on the presumptive Republican nominee’s wife.

There’s a comment on this post that links to a video promoting Ron Paul, and doesn’t speak to the Hilary Rosen attack on Ann Romney at all.  The video begins with an advertisement which is a timeless Ronald Reagan clip entitled Fight for Freedom.  It then segues into the Ron Paul clip.

Unfortunately, after this Reagan clip ends, and the Ron Paul video plays, unlike Ronald Reagan’s legacy, it disappears. It’s hard to get the Reagan piece to replay.  Here’s the standalone version of this uplifting Reagan video so you can watch whenever and as often you like.

US Secret Service Says No Anti-Obama Rallies Allowed!

ONLY the planned Obama sycophants, adherents and Adoration Groups will be allowed in…all others no longer have any free speech. Over the weekend I received an email from my local TEA Party Director that Barack Hussein Obama would fly into Carlsbad, NM airport on Wednesday 21 March, in order to “make an appearance at the South Eastern NM oilfields.” However, apparently after hearing that an immediate anti-Obama rally had been planned, Obama and his entourage changed the landing location to Roswell, NM… a city 77 miles from Carlsbad.

Eric Holder’s Brainwashing Against Guns

Yesterday, Breitbart.com revealed exclusive video of then-U.S. Attorney Eric Holder speaking to the Woman’s National Democratic Club, stating that he wanted to “brainwash” people against gun ownership.

The video reveals Attorney General Holder’s early, consistent, and strident enthusiasm for gun control legislation. He wanted schools to talk about anti-gun propaganda “every day, every school, and every level.”

What is more amazing is the more politicians are not calling for Eric Holder’s termination. Our 2nd Amendment rights are critical to our freedoms.

SCARY STUFF! ObamaCare Subjects Nearly Every Phone and Computer to Government Control

As we have been again reminded by the Barack Obama Administration’s fraudulent Sandra Fluke, abortion-pill-and-birth-control assault on the First Amendment, we are staring down the barrel of the ObamaCare gun.

Its 2014 full-on implementation will lead inexorably to more and more rescissions of our Constitutional rights, a downward spiral of poorer, slower medical attention, rationing thereof – and ultimately all of us herded into the government-only Communal Care Pit.  Continue reading on Breitbart.com which to the left’s dismay is still very much alive!

Obama Eligibility Press Conference – Full Video and Report

The Western Center For Journalism joined with World Net Daily (WND) and the Article II Super PAC to live stream the Maricopa County “Cold Case Posse” Investigative Report of President Barack Obama initiated following a request from Tea Party members from Surprise, Arizona.

The Video will be live below. The press conference is over. The full video is now posted at the bottom of this post. Additionally, the videos that accompanied the press conference are also embedded.  Please share this link with your friends.  Get the full written report and the videos at westernjournalism.com.  At the very least you’ll learn how to make a birth certificate!

Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse Uncovers “Systematic Effort to Obscure the Truth”

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona released his report on president Obama’a birth certificate and Selective Service (Draft) card on Thursday.  It is important to note that Arpaio reluctantly initiated  this investigation ONLY after receiving a petition signed by 250 of this constituents and with no preconceived conclusions.  He noted that his oath is to “preserve, protect, and defend” both the Arizona and United States Constitutions.

The Cold Case Posse’s investigation team contained many experts of many disciplines and is the first time that law enforcement has been involved in this matter.

Tune in tomorrow when I will post the full video of Thursday’s press conference and the PDF file of the full written report.  It’s stunning and CREDIBLE!

Since first announcing the formation of a “cold case posse” to investigate the legitimacy of Barack Hussein Obama’s claim to Constitutional occupation of the White House, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been at once the object of  legacy media smears and new media encouragement. And though the information gathered in the 6 month effort will probably not change the minds of many dedicated Obamabots, it has provided stark and irrefutable evidence that “person or persons unknown” worked long and hard in a systematic effort to obscure the truth about Barack Obama’s birth, heritage and qualifications to serve as President of the United States.  (1) Continue reading at: coachisright.com.

ANDREW BREITBART HAS DIED!

The Liberty movement has just lost one of it’s most steadfast and outspoken champions.  I trust we will know why.

Fron BigHollywood.com:

With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:

I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.  http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/

Krisanne Hall: Roots of Liberty Seminar, Sat, March 3

An excellent presentation from KrisAnne Hall, Constitutional attorney and speaker, most recently featured on the Tea Party Express bus tour through Florida. Two years ago Ms. Hall was dismissed from her Florida States’ Attorney postion because she was speaking to tea party groups about how our Constitution is being lost to the progressive ideals that dominate our government today. Since then she has made it her mission to speak out even louder and more often about how we have lost our freedoms and are perilously close to losing all of our liberties. Ms. Hall is a true patriot and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to attend this enlightening seminar. It is being held in Lake City at 1:00 PM; there is no admission fee, donations appreciated.

Make it your business to attend! We must get to work if we are to succeed in taking back our country! See details in the attached flyer.
