FLORIDA LAW SAYS "TEACH THE U.S. CONSTITUTION"

Here is a rather well-kept secret from the state of Florida. According to Statute 1003.42 under "Required Education", public schools in the state must teach students "The history, meaning, significance, and effect of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States and amendments thereto, with emphasis on each of the 10 Amendments that make up the Bill of Rights and how the Constitution provides the structure of our government."

Actually when a man in Volusia County recently contacted as many local teachers as was possible, he couldn't get a single one to confirm that they had spent time teaching the Constitution (or the Federalist Papers) to their students. He took the same question to the Volusia County School Committee and let's just say it wasn't a question "Political Science" Major, Chairwoman Candace Lankford greeted with open arms and gratitude.

If you live in Florida, it's time you started asking if this law is being obeyed in your local schools. Don't take someone's word for it, ask to see what text is being used, in what grade or grades and MOST IMPORTANTLY, ask to see the Course Curriculum guidelines and Behaviorial Objectives for any applicable course. Under Florida's Sunshine Laws and basic Freedom of Information Laws in other states, you are entitled to see exactly what is being presented in your school systems. Remember, these people -- from the School Board on down -- work for you.

If you do not live in Florida, feel free to look at the statutes in your own state. If there isn't something similar to the Florida Statute, use it as a guide and get a law passed. The recent textbook battle in Texas shows just how important your input can be.

One other thing. Volusia County School Board Chairman Candace Lankford gets paid more than the Governor of Florida. Justification of pay scales often come from budgets people must manage. I think it's safe to say, a governor has a larger one than a local School Board Chairwoman. How much is your local Chairperson getting paid?

"HEALTH CARE" MEANS A "STRAP ON" FOR YOU!

27 STATES WILL BE REQUIRED TO ENFORCE “HELMET LAWS” WITH NEW HEALTH CARE BILL MANDATES.

Big Rig truck driver’s have long since been considered by many as being the “Last Great American Cowboys”. Just get in their way in Pittsburgh this time of year and if they don’t push you off the Interstate, they’ll at least scare you out of their way. Try driving in the center lane of I-95 or I-75 down south and if you aren’t going AT LEAST 75 to 80 mph, you will get run over!

But in all fairness to the rest of us, the real “open road” still belongs to those who want the wind in their hair, the bugs in their teeth and the freedom to ride their two wheeled horse without a “skid lid”. No, demographically these aren’t the gang members or “James Dean” bad boys of forty years ago, but they are the (both men and women) motorcycle riders of today.

The feeling of FREEDOM in their riding is alive (but not well) in 27 states today because despite repeated extortion attempts (withholding highway funds and more) and extreme pressure by bureaucrats in Washington, these states still allow adults to ride without helmets.

But take your photos of smiling bikers today because very, very shortly, the states’ right to allow such freedom will be squashed like a bug.

The outrageously Unconstitutional “Health Care Bill” (or whatever name it masquerades by today), is packed with so much back door power and regulation, it will be childs play for Federal Government Agencies and Regulators to simply send out a memo to law enforcement nationwide that make the wearing of a helmet MANDATORY. After all, it will cost the Federal Health Care Insurance Agency (Opps! Did I let the cat out of the bag?), if someone gets hurt.

Over the next six months at every single opportunity, ask, e-mail or phone your state legislators and inquire what have they done to stop yet another power grab by the Obama Administration from states across America.

Every state has a “Motorcyclist Rights” organization of one form or another. Contact them today and make sure their members are aware of this coming violation of their rights. On the national level it’s time to begin a letter-writing campaign to the AMA.

For those of you who don’t ride, understand you are next.

Remember all the cartoon jokes early last year when Obama began firing people and took over the auto industry. Remember all the pictures of the “Pelosi-mobile” that she'd love to order you buy and drive?

Understand, all the time this Organized Criminal government intervention is taking place, I'll ask you to watch out for one thing. The next time you are on a highway that has a HOV lane, you may notice that local or state laws allow "Hybrid" or electric vehicles to use that lane with only one person aboard. Oddly enough, 9 out of 10 of those drivers are speeding. (That's "conservation"?) It's like one of our stickers says: "A Prius isn't an ECO car, it's an EGO car!"

NOT PC -- JUST BLATANT FEMINISM TRICKING THE MEDIA

A few days ago some in the national media (including Fox News), ran with a story about a man in Virginia being naked in his own home.

For many viewers there could well have been a variety of reactions to the story so I have chosen to reveal an on-going problem with media members completely missing the point and misleading people.

The gist of things is this:

A neighborhood woman is walking with her young son at 5 in the morning.

Question: Is she a "professional" woman who has no other time in her schedule to be with her child? It's hard to imagine a youngster shouldn't be in bed getting the reasonable sleep so many of them desperately need.

The woman walks through a neighbor's yard (there is no indication or report that they are "friends" or anything other than two people who live in the same neighborhood).

Question: Isn't she trespassing to be on his property? At 5 am it is likely still dark and she actually is endangering her child because both could be mistaken for prowlers.

The man who lives in his home has a long-standing habit of sleeping in the nude and being an early riser himself, he has walked into his kitchen to brew some coffee. That is not against any law on the books in Virginia. In fact, being in one's own home has long been one of the strongest arguments in law concerning a reasonable expectation of privacy. That is the linch pin in the majority of "illegal search and seizure" court disputes.

While he is at the coffee pot (not standing in a window even looking out at the weather), the woman and her son walk by the kitchen window.

I don't know about you, but I can't remember the last time I saw a home design that had a kitchen window face the street so I believe it is safe to assume the woman is walking through this man's back yard, again clearly trespassing on his property.

She sees his naked body through the window (there is no indication that her son sees him as well), does not respect his privacy THAT SHE IS VIOLATING and she calls the local police and reports the man for "exposing" himself.

The man returns to his bedroom (there is no indication he even knew someone may have seen him), and he goes back to bed. Some time later police (plural) enter his home unannounced (with force?), and walk into his bedroom. They refuse to address the man's questions as to why they are there and they arrest him (for exposure).

Procedures at every level are violated perhaps because the woman who made the complaint is the wife of a local police officer.

Now the real questions.

If the woman was a self-confessed trespasser why wasn't she charged?

If the woman looked into the window of someone's home uninvited or without some reasonable excuse like they were close friends, she is guilty of being a "Peeping Tom" and a "Sexual Offender". Why wasn't she charged with that crime?

If police act in such a heavy handed way to barge into a person's home unannounced and awaken a sleeping home owner, there are no exigent circumstances (like the disposal of drugs or life-threatening scenario), why aren't all of those involved suspended pending an investigation of their actions.

The appearance of undue influence by the woman over the police authority (based on the marital connection or more simply a gender bias) is a very serious matter on par with any accusations of "racism" that arise in other inappropriate actions of police.

This whole episode is an accurate reflection of just how Feminism and the on-going war against men is unacceptable. Men's Rights are almost non-existant in American Society today. Remember, 80% of fathers still lose custody of their children in legal cases every day. In far too many cases fathers are (by the new wave of female judges or male judges who believe they "need" female approval) being Ordered to pay up to 160% of their gross income to support as few as one child. When they can't possibly fulfill these requirements, then they are quickly labeled "dead beats" and ridiculed by an ignorant media.

But of all the things that are absolutely wrong about this particular case is the life-long, electronic outcome of this man's arrest.

The computer records that were made of this police call and the man's actual (FALSE) arrest will live forever in data banks worldwide. Even the potential of a future judge ordering all information to be "expunged" will graphically illustrate how futile such an effort really is. In this day and age computers copy computers and the spread of uncontrolled data is an every day occurrence.

For the rest of his life this man, his employers, the legal community and others can and will see him represented as a "pervert" because of a sexual crime he was arrested for in 2009.

I sincerely hope the Chief of Police who oversees the officers involved in this incident orders a thorough investigation. I beg all investigators to avoid the overused and abused term "justified" in any report. That has become a loop hole for inappropriate police action that you could drive a truck through.

I hope true justice will prevail and the woman will be arrested for both trespassing and her actions as a Peeping Tom (whatever local or state laws cover such an event).

Finally, I hope the man who was victimized by the woman and the police retains a very aggressive attorney and sues all involved for violating his rights. While most government bodies unjustly drape themselves in ordinances that hold them harmless to many things, the long-term draconian effect to this man and his future justify the Police Department's exposure.

The woman was wrong. She was arrogant and out-of-control (obviously having been placated too often in the past) and she also should be investigated for being an "unfit mother", regarding her actions with her son. Did she even make an effort to "look away" or tell her boy to do the same?

Switch genders in this event and place a man on the outside looking in. Who would have been arrested in that case? Don't kid yourself. You already know. You also know he could well have lost custody of his son or daughter if one of them were with him.

All must recognize the severity of the gender war that is at hand. It is time for others to help start turning this Titanic around and away from the iceberg that is a total loss of Men's Rights.

Wake Up America

Wake Up America
by Pam Geller 
  
I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied history all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.
  
Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like and how people react to it... Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 - 15 years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.
  
We demand and then codified into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people whom we know could never pay back? Why? 
  
We learned recently that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money; yours and mine. And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September.
  
Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of "We the People," who loaned our powers to our elected leaders. Apparently not!
  
We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?
  
We have intentionally ‘dumbed' down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, and school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?
  
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic; and to what purpose?
  
Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, and Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 times 10.
  
And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.
  
And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska. All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him,
drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No?
  
  
Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)
  
Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change... Why?
  
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.
  
And that is only the beginning.
  
I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was
associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his "brown shirts" would bully them into submission.
  
And then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe, and across the world.
  
He did it with a compliant media - Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and... "Change"! And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he
was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though.
  
Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years - a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency - it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course; the road to Hell is paved with them.
  
As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me.
  
Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe - and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. But, I do not think I am.
  
IN GOD WE TRUST
  
Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the "stimulus" bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle was credited by Bloomberg with the following statement.
  
Bloomberg: "Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them."
  
If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.
  
Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and nine months. We have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and it allies have begun and in the interim, we can make our voices heard!

Let's do it!
