Help needed to fight government funded Wind albatross spending

Posted on May 3, 2013 by VoiceOfAmerica

Help needed to fight government funded Wind albatross spending

Indiana has been infected with a plague of windmills. These machines have already been built in large installations in Indiana including north of Lafayette, east of Fort Wayne, and now encroaching on Grant, Madison, and counties to the east.

While the idea of wind turbines is to make so called “green” energy and a competitive cost, none of that is the case. The machines are not green, and we end up still having to burn coal, oil, gas, and nuclear in order to operate our homes, businesses, and factories. Among other problems, a lot of the time the wind just doesn’t blow when you need it. Or even when you don’t. And the produced electricity costs about double what you are paying now.

So we need your help to stop this taxpayer funded boondoggle. We need people to educate others, wirte letters to the editor of all your local papers, call and write/fax your elected representatives, call in to local radio stations, etc. The time is short and action within the next week is imperative.

The problem is this is such a divisive issue that many won’t come out and openly oppose this.  I keep running into this. Spouses are divided. Friends divided, families divided, churches divided. People are afraid to sign a petition or speak out. They are afraid of losing friends, or customers in their business, or there is pressure from family.

Don’t be cowed and controlled by these pressures, but instead get the facts and make some calls.

Below are some sample discussions, links to stories etc. Check this and other future emails for attachments that may contain additonal information.

How can you help? Read the links below. Note that some are quite extensive. You don’t have to read them all before taking some action. Just read some and get some knowledge on some areas in question. Then write letters to the editor in your local newspapers, write – call – fax your state senators and representatives and local mayors and county officials. Ask them if they are aware of the facts you have discovered and ask why they think it is a good idea. For instance, why should we subsidize electricity that is only on intermittently, and costs double or more of the electricity we have used all along.

And importantly, keep it up. Write continuing letters to the editors once a week for instance.

Thank you. (note, more emails and/or posts here on the topic may follow)

Common Core, selling personal info on your children

Posted on March 29, 2013 by VoiceOfAmerica

Over at the Blaze, read this discussion on one of the many troubling tyrannical aspects of “Common Core”. You have heard problems exist in various ways with privacy and information security. What you heard before is minor compared to this:

Indoctrination and Data Mining in Common Core: Here’s Why America’s Schools May Be in More Trouble Than You Think

Mar. 27, 2013 9:30pm Tiffany Gabbay

TheBlaze has been at the forefront in uncovering the disturbing details of the nationalized curriculum standard known as Common Core. One of the most troubling aspects of this federal program is that government bureaucrats are currently mining sensitive and highly personal information on children through Common Core’s tracking system.

The data will then reportedly be sold by the government to outside sources for profit.

To discuss Common Core’s practice of data mining, Glenn Beck hosted an array of guests on TheBlaze TV Wednesday, including documentarian Andrew Marcus, columnist Kyle Olson, Kris Nielsen, author of “Children of the Core,” Jane Robbins of the American Principles Project among others

Affordable Care Act Expense Laundering

Posted on March 24, 2013 by VoiceOfAmerica

Affordable Care Act Expense Laundering

by AHAP on March 18, 2013

I’ve heard of money laundering by concealing the source of illegally gotten money.  The Affordable Care Act just invented expense laundering by concealing billions of dollars in expenses.  Seems crazy that one would have to launder expenses, but that is exactly what the administration is doing to get hard working Americans to fund its’ health care law. Let’s take a look at the definition:
Launder:

1.  To disguise the true nature of a transaction or operation by routing money through one or more intermediaries.

2.  To remove embarrassing or unpleasant characteristics or elements in order to make more acceptable.

Our constitution is hanging by a thread…

Posted on March 13, 2013 by VoiceOfAmerica

As we noted before, political forces in the State of Indiana are seeking to have a ConCon, or Constitutional Convention to replace the Constitution of the United States. This is a bad idea with a probably worse than bad outcome. And it is silly. One of the idea’s selling point is to get government officials to follow the (new) Constitution as they certainly are not prone to follow our existing one. That won’t work. It they ignore one set of laws, they will more easily ignore the more lax Constitution they propose.

Read this from the Grendel Report blog: (and then write, call, fax, visit your state legislators and convince them to stop this madness) Print this and hand it to them. Do whatever it takes.

PRESERVING THE HOMEFRONT
By DK Smith
This week we are being contacted by National Organizations to help initiate their plans of action on the federal level and it is great to have these organization push forward those efforts. However, their goals do not reach us at the state level unless our objective is directly tied to a federal issue. We have to lead our own state initiatives and we are the only ones who can do that effectively.  There are thousands of patriots across the nation ready to battle the federal government in order to block the agenda of the far leftist regime. Now we have to build that same army of individuals at the state level. I know already that you are out there, now it is time to get engaged. It is not enough to call your congressman once or twice a month on a bill going through the house, you must pay attention to the state issues, connect up with other groups efforts on these matters, write, call and show up in support.
The Republican party seems to have abandoned all they stand for in an effort to appease. If they think that simply passing a bill or two that favors the minority is going to suddenly make them jump ship from their current political party over them, they are sadly mistaken. They do nothing but further divide the party into those who seek true liberty-minded conservative leadership and those who pander to every group under the sun for votes.YOU HAVE TO STAND FOR SOMETHING!  It is time to remind our legislators that they work for us. It was the majority view that got them elected and it will be the majority who defeats them in office next time around if they do not work for the people. It does not benefit the people to spread our thin tax dollars into more state programs that do nothing but encourage illegal aliens to settle in our state. It is simply unfair to those who work hard to do things the right way to allow those who care so little about our laws that their first steps into our country are as lawbreakers.  It is no wonder the rule of law has been thrown out the window at the federal level in an attempt to sway voters but it has now trickled down to our state.
It does nothing to support the stance of a sovereign state to opt for a constitutional convention instead of simply standing up for the 10th Amendment.  How is our state any different than the dysfunctional Senate if we have leadership who refuses to admit bills on the basis of one mans own interpretation and does not allow debate.  Do we stand by and watch as our state becomes the pandering dysfunctional federal government or do we ACT NOW to protect our liberty and a conservative way of life in Indiana that makes it the place where people what to come to work, raise a family and prosper. With a community spirit and internal vigilance we can keep Indiana free from federal tyranny and free from bad choices made to appease the few.STOP THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION “CALL FOR A NO” ON SJR18

Obamacare nullification, IND Senate Bill 230

Posted on February 10, 2013 by VoiceOfAmerica

Senate Bill 230, WE HAVE A BILL. NOW IT’S TIME FOR CITIZEN ACTION !!!

UPDATE: [read Senator Long's letter here ] Sen Long makes the case that Obamacare was ruled Constitutional so it cannot be challenged. That is one view. But it surely seems that the Federal government *requiring* that individuals purchase a product is far from Constitutional. While the Supreme Court ruled for Obamacare in one aspect (and incorrectly so I believe…) there are other challenges underway, and it isn’t over yet. There are several ways this can be challenged yet. Ultimately, the people voting for proper representation who will make the right moves to protect our liberty is the final answer to tyranny such as this. We need to throw everything at it we can, and hope something will stick. Sen Long remarks that fighting it will cost money. OK, but having Obamacare will destroy our economy and healthcare, making the fight worth it. If we let it stand, we lose. If we fight it, maybe, just maybe, we survive.

Indiana State Senator David Long Continues to Personally Block Attempts to Stop Obamacare

[end update]

Our first goal of getting a bill submitted was achieved thanks to the effort of Senator Phil Boots. Senate Bill 230 – Applicability of federal law in Indiana (Nullification of Obamacare) was sent to the Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedure. Our next goal is to make sure this bill does not die in committee but makes it’s way on to the senate floor.
Go to this link and read it all, take suggested action.->http://www.fmcoin.org/call2action.html

Note there are other bills listed on the left side that we need to support.
