On the Democratic Debate

I'm sure that by now everyone has seen the Democratic Debate with the word "debate" being used very loosely. It was basically a love fest for Hillary Clinton. Even Bernie Sanders is acquiescing to her and he is her chief rival for the Democratic nomination. Out of place on stage was Jim Webb. He is a Viet Nam veteran and he was treated like he wasn't there and I could tell he had a look of disgust on his face. I can understand that with Comrade Sanders Fried Chicken next to him so I'm sure he heard Bernie Sanders brag about honeymooning in the Soviet Union. The same Soviet Union that supplied North Viet Nam with weapons that were used against guys like Webb. Then there is Hillary the Hippie whom I'm sure spit on a lot of returning servicemen coming home from Viet Nam. The same guys Webb fought alongside. Webb is a part of the old democratic party that represented the blue collar worker. That Democratic Party is gone. Replaced by a gynocratic gynocentric nightmare with Debbie Wasserman Schultz alongside other women running the Democratic Party. They are dead set on making sure Hillary gets the nomination come hell or high water. That is why it wasn't much of debate. It was just basically one of Hillary's many coronations that will be taking place until the elections.

Support Ron Paul as he cleans up Washington DC

From Rand Paul 2016:

In less than two weeks, I'll be taking to the Republican debate stage in Boulder, Colorado for the third showdown with my shrinking field of opponents for the GOP nomination for President.

The national media -- desperate to push party establishment picks and turn this campaign into a TV reality show -- wants nothing more than to blackout my message of liberty and limited government.

So my campaign is preparing to launch a massive TV and Radio Ad Blitz to flood Iowa airwaves during and after this critical debate.

Will you please chip in $20.16 or more immediately to help make this a reality?

My staff has run the numbers, and we need to raise $200,000 by Tuesday, October 20th at midnight to make this work.

With your support, we can bust through the media blackout and send shockwaves through the media and the national political establishment.

For the first time in decades, you and I have a true chance to nominate a Republican who will take a sledgehammer to the Washington Machine.

If elected, that's exactly what I'll do.

My plan to institute a 14.5% flat tax, and return $2 TRILLION to the American people, isn't just designed to get our economy moving and create jobs. It's designed to blow up our current tax code and force government to live within its means.

My plan to impose term limits in Washington, D.C. isn't just designed to change a few faces in Congress. It's designed to clean house of Big Government career politicians.

My plan to force Congress to read the bills they pass isn't just designed to force members of Congress to stop passing thousand-page bills at the last minute, it's designed to END lobbyists' grip on Washington, D.C.

If elected, I will fully REPEAL ObamaCare, end domestic government spying and finally audit and expose the damage the U.S. Federal Reserve has wreaked on our country.

Not one of my opponents can make any of these promises.

In fact, they wouldn't even dare.

While they may toss some red meat out every once in awhile to try and fool primary voters, they think everything is "A-OK" with Big Government.

But the truth is, our nation is over $18 TRILLION in debt and spending is STILL increasing!

Politicians in BOTH parties have almost succeeded in wiping the Fourth and Tenth Amendments off the books.

Now, they're coming for the First Amendment's protection of religious liberty and our Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms.

Even after the release of videos showing Planned Parenthood officials admitting they routinely abort unborn babies, dismember them and then sell their body parts for profit, our elected officials will hardly lift a finger to defund them!

Everything is not "A-OK."

And with the stakes for our country higher than ever, we can't afford another Republican nominee who will betray us.

We desperately need a President who will completely pull the plug on the Washington Machine and start over.

Whether it's forcing the Obama administration to back down on the use of drones targeting U.S. citizens on American soil, President Obama's attempt to rush to ISIS' aid in Syria, or forcing the worst of the so-called "PATRIOT" Act's provisions to expire, I have proven I will stand up to anyone in either party to uphold my oath of office.

But you do have a choice.

You can choose to return to the constitutional principles that have made America great.

You can choose a candidate who can not only DEFEAT Hillary Clinton, but is committed to restoring the principles of liberty you and I hold so dear.

So please help me by chipping in your most generous contribution of $20.16 right away.

We only have until Tuesday, October 20th to hit our $200,000 goal. This is the most critical moment of my campaign to date. So every dollar counts.

I'm confident this TV and Radio Ad Blitz in Iowa is just what we need to break the media's stranglehold on my campaign.

But this plan can only be successful with your help.

With my deadline rapidly approaching, will you please chip in a contribution IMMEDIATELY?

Will you help me bust through the media blackout?

Thank you in advance for your generous and continued support.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

If you hate asset forfeiture support the CAIR Act

From Campaign For Liberty:

One reason the Founders crafted the 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was to stop government from depriving citizens of their life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

In fact, when discussing these rights in 1772, Samuel Adams wrote, "Now what liberty can there be where property is taken away without consent?"

But today, government policing for profit operations are set to ramp up around the country.

I'm afraid they're going to follow the lead of our new Attorney General Loretta Lynch who confiscated nearly a BILLION DOLLARS worth of civil assets as a U.S. prosecutor!

This is bad, bad news.

Law-abiding American citizens are left with virtually no recourse.

And the government jackboots who make the seizures are often free to spend the cash on virtually anything they want -- from office equipment, uniforms, cars, and firearms, to liquor-fueled parties!

Legalized government theft under the official-sounding euphemism "Civil Asset Forfeiture" is a racket that would make the mafia proud.

That’s why I’m counting on your action in support of the FAIR Act IMMEDIATELY.

According to the Department of Justice's statistics, it seized over $4.4 BILLION from American citizens in 2012 alone.

It's just ONE of 12 federal agencies throwing "innocent until proven guilty" out the window to make seizures!

And these figures don't even include the tens of BILLIONS local governments seize from innocent law-abiding Americans every year!

This can of worms was originally opened to give law enforcement more power to fight their Drug War.

Now, it's spiraling out of control as government increasingly looks for any excuse to confiscate anyone's property to pad their own coffers.

Many times, it's the poor who are targeted -- because government officials know they often can't afford high-priced attorneys or the court fees it takes to fight back.

How long until these rogue police powers are used to target citizens whose growing gun collections government believes are "suspicious?"

Or carry cash on family vacations instead of credit cards to help keep track of spending?

With money-hungry government goons becoming even more brazen with the backing of President Obama's new Attorney General, Loretta Lynch -- I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action to help me stop this madness.

As you'll see, I've created petitions to your U.S. Representatives and Senators insisting they cosponsor and vote for the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act, S. 255/H.R. 540.

If passed, the FAIR Act, introduced by my son, Senator Rand Paul, would finally END the policing for profit operations around the United States that is bleeding innocent Americans dry.

With everything at stake, won't you please sign the FAIR Act petition today?

With a tidal wave of grassroots pressure, I believe you and I can FORCE Congress to act to restore the Fifth Amendment.

But even if you and I can just force a vote, it's a win/win situation.

Let members of Congress try and defend their votes to allow rogue government agencies outright theft of innocent -- and often poor -- Americans' property.

They'll pay a steep price at the polls in 2016!

So please, take a moment to sign your petitions in support of the FAIR Act today.

As former Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen once said, "When I feel the heat, I see the light."

After you've signed, I hope you'll make your most generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty today to help them turn up the heat and end the practice of "civil asset theft"!

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Legalized government theft under the official-sounding euphemism "Civil Asset Forfeiture" is a racket that would make the mafia proud.

With government agencies around the country set to follow Attorney General Loretta Lynch's lead and ramp up their stealing of innocent Americans' wealth, I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action.

Please sign your petitions in support of the FAIR Act and make your most generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty today.

Wikileaks leaks Trans Pacific Partnership agreement

From Fight For The Future:

Last week, WikiLeaks released the final text of the TPP’s intellectual property rights chapter, and it's absolutely terrifying.

These are just a few of its most dangerous pieces:

•Compel ISPs to take down websites without any sort of court order, just like SOPA. (Appendix Section I)

•Extend the US’s copyright regime to require copyrights stand for life plus 70 years, preventing anyone from using works that belong in the public domain. (Article QQ.G.6)

•Criminalize whistleblowing by extending trade secrets laws without any mandatory exemptions for whistleblowers or investigative journalists. (QQ.H.8)

•End anonymity online by forcing every domain name to be associated with a real name and address. (Article QQ.C.12)

•Make it illegal to unlock, modify, or generally tinker with a device you own. (Article QQ.G.10)

•Export the US’s broken copyright policies to the rest of the world without expanding any of the free speech protections, like fair use. (Article QQ.G.17)

The worst part is that this is just one of the TPP’s 30 chapters.

The final text confirms our worst fears — click here to take action demanding Congress vote NO on the TPP.

For years, governments have held critics of the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement in a perfect catch 22. Officials brushed off public outcry and concern by claiming that the dissenters didn’t have all the facts.

This was by design—the 12 country trade deal was negotiated entirely behind closed doors by industry lobbyists and government appointees, and even now the text of the agreement is still classified.

But late last week, WikiLeaks released the final text of the Intellectual Property chapter, meaning those excuses won’t work anymore.

We’re planning to go all out against the TPP, but the first step is to make sure Congress knows just how many people oppose the TPP.

Taking action today is just the beginning, because if all we do is send emails and make phone calls, Congress is not going to reject the TPP. Too many giant industries are seriously invested in making sure Congress ratifies the TPP.

If we’re going to win, we need to go big. Which is exactly what we’re going to do.

So take action right now. Contact your Congresspeople now and tell them to vote against the TPP. Then get ready to do more because we’re going to unleash some of our strongest campaigns ever.

Already we have plans to work with hundreds of different groups as a massive coalition to fight the TPP, coordinate gigantic on-the-ground protests in key cities across the country, and produce compelling content to spread the word to as many different audiences as possible just what is at stake in the TPP.

To do all that, we need your help — if you can, pledge to chip in $5 every month between now and when the TPP fight ends so that we can run our biggest, boldest, and best campaign yet.

Thanks for all you do,
Charlie

Oppose Congressman Paul Ryan for Speaker of the House

From Public Advocate:

I'm furious.

Congressman Paul Ryan is considering a run for Speaker of the House and pro-Family Republican Congressmen are falling in line behind him.

This should scare every pro-Family American across the nation.

You see, Paul Ryan co-sponsored and voted for the Gay Bill of Special Rights (H.R. 3685) in 2007.

And now the House of Representatives could vote him in any second when they return from their Fall recess!

That's why I need you to call your Congressman right away at their district office and urge them to vote against Paul Ryan for Speaker.

As you may already know, the Gay Bill of Special Rights will enforce:

*** Special job rights for homosexuals. Businesses may have to adopt hiring quotas to protect themselves from lawsuits. Every homosexual fired or not hired becomes a potential federal civil rights lawsuit.

*** Radical homosexuals will terrorize daycare centers, hospitals, churches and private schools. Traditional moral values will be shattered by federal law.

*** An explosion of lawsuits as Christian business owners and even clergy are forced to support homosexual "marriage" ceremonies or hire homosexual youth pastors.

And unless pro-Family Americans voice their opposition to Paul Ryan as Speaker, Republicans in Congress may vote him in.

They'll buy the establishment's misleading rhetoric that Ryan is a "conservative" and stands for Traditional Values.

But don't let that fool you.

His voting record betraying Traditional Values tells the truth.

That's why I really need you to call your Congressman right away at their district office and urge them to vote against Paul Ryan for Speaker.

You see, Paul Ryan's vote in 2007 helped the House of Representatives pass the disastrous Gay Bill of Special Rights.

We were able to stall it in the U.S. Senate that year and defeat it, only because Public Advocate mobilized thousands of pro-Family Americans like you.

Even with a Senate filled with radical Homosexual Lobby allies.

But that's because Public Advocate supporters took less than a minute to call their representatives.

Will you please call your Congressman at their district office and urge them to vote against Paul Ryan for Speaker?

Never before has the election for Speaker of the House been so important for pro-Family Americans.

Just last night, Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wasted no time pledging her alliance to the radical Homosexual Lobby's agenda.

In reality, she's giving radical homosexual activists the "wink and nod" that she'll sign their crown jewel if elected -- the Gay Bill of Special Rights.

If she becomes the next President and the Homosexual Lobby succeeds in electing Paul Ryan as the next House Speaker, we'll have to pressure the vulnerable U.S. Senate to defeat the Gay Bill of Special Rights from Hillary's desk.

That's why defeating Paul Ryan's bid for Speaker before it gets off the ground is so very important.

So after you call your Congressman right away at their district office and urge them to vote against Paul Ryan for Speaker...

Please chip in $10 or $25 to fund Public Advocate's emergency grassroots program to block Paul Ryan's bid for Speaker.

For the Family,


HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the United States

P.S. The race to replace Speaker Boehner is heating up and now pro-Homosexual Lobby Paul Ryan is being pressured to run.

Paul Ryan voted to pass the Gay Bill of Special Rights in 2007 and if he becomes the next Speaker, he'll have more power to pass it again.

Click here to find your Congressman.

Please help Public Advocate prepare for an emergency grassroots operation to oppose Paul Ryan as Speaker by chipping in $10 or $25 today.

Corporate welfare makes guys like Donald Trump ever richer

From Campaign For Liberty:

This fall marks the seventh anniversary of the bursting of the housing bubble and the subsequent economic meltdown. The mood in Congress following the meltdown resembled the panicked atmosphere that followed the September 11th attacks. As was the case after September 11th, Congress rushed to pass hastily written legislation that, instead of dealing with the real causes of the crisis, simply gave the government more power.

Just as few understood the role our interventionist foreign policy played in the September 11th attacks, few in Congress understood that the 2008 meltdown was caused by the Federal Reserve and Congress, not by unregulated capitalism. Not surprising to anyone familiar with economic history, the story of the 2008 meltdown starts with the bursting of the Fed-created tech bubble.

Following the collapse of the tech bubble, the Fed began aggressively pumping money into the economy. This money flooded into the housing market, creating the housing bubble. The Bush Administration and the Republican Congress also added fuel to the housing bubble. These so-called “free-market” conservatives expanded federal housing programs in hopes of creating an “ownership society.”

If Congress understood the Austrian theory of the business cycle, it would have allowed the recession that followed the housing bubble’s inevitable collapse to run its course. Recessions are the economy’s way of eliminating the distortions caused by the Federal Reserve. Attempts by Congress and the Fed to end a recession via inflation and government spending will only lead to future, and more severe, economic downturns.

The corporate bailouts, government spending, and money creation via quantitative easing that Congress and the Fed have engaged in since the fall of 2008, have failed to produce even the illusion of prosperity. The daily experience of most Americans shows that the government’s doctored statistics drastically understate both unemployment and inflation.

This is not to say that no Americans have benefited from Federal Reserve policies. Even Donald Trump has called quantitative easing “a great deal for guys like me.” Much of the growth of government over the past seven years, from the bailouts to the increases in military and domestic spending to Obamacare, has also benefited politically-connected crony capitalists.

The Federal Reserve’s continued delay of an interest rate increase suggests that, contrary to its public statements, the Fed understands that the economy has not recovered from the meltdown and is on the brink of another major recession. Fear that the Fed is not being fully forthcoming with its view of the economy is one reason the stock market declined following the Fed’s recent decision to once again postpone increasing interest rates.

Learning the full truth about how the Fed evaluates the economy and its plans to respond to another downturn are two reasons why it is important to pass the Audit the Fed bill.

A vote on Audit the Fed would probably be the only good thing to occur in Congress this year. A Congress that cannot defund Planned Parenthood is unlikely to make any serious cuts in spending. Instead of waiting for politicians to do the right thing, those who know the truth must spread the ideas of liberty as far and wide as possible. Only when the teachings of the Austrian school are embraced by a critical mass of Americans will Congress cut warfare spending, cut welfare spending, and audit, and then end, the Fed.

For Liberty,

Ron Paul
Chairman

P.S. Tell Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and your U.S. Senators it’s time to pass Audit the Fed NOW!
