    Continued from previous post

    Senator Jerry Moran said in a letter (signed by 44 other senators) to President Obama; warning him not to continue his push for ratification of the SAT. Moran wrote:
    Our country’s sovereignty and the Second Amendment rights of American citizens must not be infringed upon by the United Nations. Today, the Senate sends a powerful message to the Obama Administration: an Arms Trade Treaty that does not protect ownership of civilian firearms will fail in the Senate. Our firearm freedoms are not negotiable.


    The US is the world’s largest exporter of firearms; while private sales between citizens, collectors and sportsmen would all be internationally regulated with the approval of IACT. This includes rules over ammunition, and procurement.

    The Obama administration, in an attempt to appear coy, agreed to sign only if other states agreed to as well. Yet many Senators, the National Rifle Association (NRA) and pro-gun advocates perceive IACT as the first step in international gun control and will not abide by while Obama gives the UN over-reaching power to destroy our 2nd Amendment and our Constitutional Republic.

    A final version of SAT, which is based on IACT will be drafted by 2013.

    Chris Cox, the NRA’s top lobbyist, explains:
    As we have for the past 15 years, the NRA will fight to stop a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that infringes on the Constitutional rights of American gun owners.

    Cox feels that Senators like Moran:
    send a clear message to the international bureaucrats who want to eliminate our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms. Clearly, a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that includes civilian arms within its scope is not supported by the American people or their elected U.S. Senators. Senator Moran is a true champion of our freedom. We are grateful for his leadership and his tenacious efforts on this issue, as well as the 44 other senators who agree with the NRA’s refusal to compromise on our constitutional freedoms.
    Last month, in press release , The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has awarded defense contractor ATK with an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement for .40 caliber hollow point ammunition.

    According to ATK :
    'ATK has secured a major Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity deal to supply up to 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition to the Department of Homeland Security . . . The 1 year contract with four option years comes at a time when many Americans believe that DHS, along with certain aspects of the military, will soon turn their sights on the American people during some sort of martial law scenario . . . We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE,' said Ron Johnson, the president of ATK’s Security and Sporting group.

    This particular type of bullet is meant to expand upon impact “engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration.”

    This order is not the first for DHS. In 2009, DHS contracted Winchester for delivery of 200 million hollow point bullets.

    The economic state of America has caused US citizens to purchase armory at an incredible rate.

    A national “ gun-run ” last March saw a shortage of guns in stores for the first time.

    “I have never seen such a situation in all my years as a gun owner, hunter and cop,” said Edna Aquino, a New York police officer and shooting instructor. “I’m hearing from fellow shooters that they are stockpiling ammunition these days because they are afraid of what they’re seeing in this country.”


    The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reported that an estimated 6 million requests for pre-sale guns in 2009 reflects a 26% increase.

    In response to Americans arming themselves, President Obama is seeking Congress to approve the UN’s international governance over our 2nd Amendment while claiming that it is only an attempt to create more stringent gun legislation for the American public’s protection.

    **As a codicil, we feel Ron Paul would have had a fairer chance had we moved more aggressively on influencing our state legislators, and away from their paid-for GOP leaderships**


    Posted by Charleston Voice, 06.14.12


    And you think Romney would do any different???


    Your leaders now, your past leaders and presumed future leaders are/have been/will be sneaks, liars, and traitors.


    Listen to Hillary; she's the perfect example of compromising-away America's Constitution. Piece-by-piece, patient gradualism is their footprint for treachery.


    We've told you before, and will underscore it again: Nullification of federal laws and statutes are Constitutionally lawful under the 10th Amendment (states rights). Demand your state assemblyman begin NOW to nullify existing federal intrusions on your liberties.


    Don't know how or where to begin? Start with the unlawful federal laws imposed on your state. How much in property taxes would you and your neighbors save if the FedGov education intrusion was nullified? Renters pay prop. taxes, too; taxes are a component of the rental payment. Many don't know, but only the states can institutionalize education - providing the people want it! There is no provision in our US Constitution for federal authority!


    You clamor for "free market competition" for money, paper vs. gold/silver coins - why not free market competition in the education of your children?


    Gun control? What's the NRA accomplished for you and your money - nothing, that's what. They're on the other side, my friend. Why hasn't your state legislature been told you want all federal gun laws nullified?

    Attention all Iowan Voters - Repub party split

    Ron Paul 2012

    Their trying to make changes to the slate of delegates..

    Pro-Paul emphasis splits Iowa Republicans

    Concern over new hires, delegate list sparks dissent in state party

    11:28 PM, Jun 12, 2012
    24 Comments

    Ron Paul loyalists now dominate the management structure at the Republican Party of Iowa — a fact that is motivating other Republicans to make some power plays.

    A team is pushing to send a different set of Iowans to the national convention, not the at-large slate selected by Paul backers. They hope to round up enough votes for a “unity slate” to override the Paul activists at this weekend’s state convention.

    And there are rumblings about a meeting of the Republican State Council — the coalition of all the county GOP chairs and co-chairs — to express dissatisfaction with the direction of the state party.

    “There has been talk of establishing a vote of no-confidence if changes aren’t made,” said Mark LeRette, chairman of the Muscatine County GOP. “What’s happening right now is having a negative effect on the party and, by association, is having a negative affect on our work.”

    One GOP strategist said Iowans should watch for the mushroom cloud over Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines on Saturday. But the goal is for Republicans to emerge united, several activists said.

    “We have a lot at stake. We’re going to keep our fingers crossed that that’s what happens,” said Karen Fesler, a Coralville Republican who backed Rick Santorum. “I believe our better angels will come out on Saturday.”

    Some Republicans think it would be an embarrassment if Paul gets the most national delegates from Iowa, given that Michele Bachmann won the GOP straw poll in Ames last year, Mitt Romney was declared the winner of the caucuses, then Santorum finally ended up the winner by a couple dozen votes.

    “It looks like Iowa can’t seem to make up its mind,” said Fesler, who successfully helped replace a Paul-heavy slate in Missouri with a more mixed slate earlier this month. “It’s important that we show we can get our act together and that we can come together as a party in this state, so that other folks see we’re not dysfunctional here.”

    The latest news troubling establishment Republicans here: Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker hired two former Paul campaign staffers to fill two open senior staff jobs at the headquarters in Des Moines.

    “I do think there’s a lot of concern among Republicans about that,” Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad said Tuesday, “but my focus is going to be on winning elections, and that is, we’re going to work with Romney to carry the state.”

    Steve Bierfeldt starts today as the new executive director. His hire isn’t official until it’s approved by the state central committee Saturday, said Spiker, who was vice chairman of Paul’s Iowa campaign.

    Spiker described Bierfeldt as “a born-again evangelical Christian who is very pro-life, very pro-family.” He’s a good fundraiser — he’s the former director of development for Campaign for Liberty — and he was the architect of some of Paul’s biggest straw poll wins, Spiker said.

    And Spiker tapped former Paul campaign staffer John Ferland as organizational director, the staffer who manages the party’s presence in the counties. Ferland, who has a background in banking, lived in Iowa for most of the last year, Spiker said.

    Spiker said of the nine new staffers added to the Iowa GOP payroll, only two are Paul backers. “Some of these comments that, ‘Oh, it’s only Ron Paul people being hired,’ that’s kind of ridiculous,” he said.

    The seven other hires were coordinated without input from the Iowa GOP by the Iowa Victory program, which is supported with money from the Republican National Committee.

    The fact that both Bierfeldt and Ferland are not Iowans is part of the problem, some say.

    “That really is a major concern to me,” said Charlie Gruschow, an Iowa tea party activist. “There are plenty of people in Iowa who are qualified, who know this state and who have worked hard in this state.”

    Meanwhile, Republicans from across Iowa are working to promote a unity slate that better reflects the results of the Iowa caucuses.

    “In no way should Ron Paul’s third-place finish give him total dominance over the delegation,” said Bob Anderson, the original organizer of the unity slate and an incoming member of the GOP State Central Committee.

    Unity slate backers said they will compile names — a mix of supporters of Romney, Santorum, Paul, Newt Gingrich and others — after Friday’s reconvened district conventions, when Republicans choose three delegates from each congressional district.

    If Paul backers elect three more of their own as district delegates, and the Paul slate of at-large delegates passes, they would make up 13 of Iowa’s 25 elected delegates, Fesler noted.

    What happens at Iowa’s convention will likely matter little at the national convention in Florida in late August — Iowa’s national delegates are unbound, which means they are free to vote for any candidate. And Romney has enough bound delegates to secure the GOP nomination.

    Paul campaign officials have said they’re not trying to win delegates for the national convention, and Paul’s son, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has endorsed Romney. But some Paul activists don’t want to give up on their candidate. In order to meet the rules to nominate him from the floor, they need a plurality of delegates from five states.

    So far, they have Maine, Alaska and Minnesota locked up. Strategies to command the delegate counts in Colorado, Nevada and Missouri were defeated, and there are few other places where Paul activists could gain ground.

    Romney backers aren’t using muscle to rally people for Iowa’s convention, saying they’re focused on the general election.

    Fesler pointed out that the state convention is important for reasons other than presidential electors for Tampa. Delegates will also vote on a platform and pick two Iowa members of the Republican National Committee.

    Those seeking to be committeeman include David Chung, Judd Saul, Robert Cramer and Steve Scheffler. Running for committeewoman are Kim Pearson, Tamara Scott, Judy Davidson and Margaret Stoldorf.

    As for a meeting of the Republican State Council, the coalition of county party officials, it would be “down the road, past the convention,” LeRette said. “I think it depends on how willing A.J. is to work with county leadership.”

    Red Alert! The Montana State Convention is underway!

    Submitted by Andrew Jetton on Thu, 06/14/2012 - 09:29
    Delegates
    Montana


    Who: Montana State Convention delegates and alternates
    When: Thursday, June 14, 2012 at Noon MDT (2:00pm EDT)
    Where: Hilton Garden Inn-Missoula
    3720 N. Reserve St.
    Missoula, MT 59808
    406-532-5300


    Why: Montana's 26 National delegates are all unbound, so if Dr. Paul gets a majority, it is certain that it will count as one of the 5 states needed to have his name placed in nomination in Tampa.

    Source: Montana Republican Delegation 2012

    Note: To participate in National delegate selection and Platform ratification, State Convention Delegates must be present and registered by Friday at 10:00am local time. Liberty delegates, if you wait until Saturday to show up, you will not be able to participate in anything important!

    Source: http://mtgop.org/images/convo2012/public%20agenda%20-%20rev%...

    Per the above Convention schedule, the Montana State Convention begins Thursday with registration at Noon. There will then be Platform committee meetings all afternoon.

    Registration resumes Friday morning for the "Delegate" and "Platform" Conventions, and ends at 10:00am. Therefore, if our delegates are not present and registered by Friday at 10:00am, they will not be able to participate in selecting the Tampa delegates, or in adopting the platform!

    Delegate selection will take place Friday afternoon, and the Platform will be dealt with Saturday morning. The only thing on the schedule for Saturday afternoon is a "Young Republican Meeting." The Convention is set to end Saturday at 5:00pm.

    Montana State Convention delegates and alternates, please show up early Friday morning at the latest; if you arrive after that, you will miss the most important parts of the process! If we win Montana, it will likely be the final state needed to place Dr. Paul's name into nomination in Tampa; Montana Liberty patriots, we are counting on you! Thank you!

    Nobody who stands against Ron Paul's campaign can truly be a Christian

    Submitted by Willl on Thu, 06/14/2012 - 08:23
    Daily Paul Liberty Forum

    Sorry, but that's the way I feel. And I think its true. If someone cannot support an honest man, genuinely trying to help his country and speak the truth, then they are not following the teachings of Jesus Christ. If they in fact support others against him who have malicious intent and rely on lies, who are they really, in Christ's eyes? And on Judgement Day.

    VOTE OR DON’T VOTE: ARSENIC OR CYANIDE?

    Jon Rappoport
    nomorefakenews.com
    June 14, 2012


    Well, we must vote in the upcoming presidential election, right? How can we abdicate our right? How can we leave the battlefield to the robots? If we don’t vote, we can’t criticize what happens in the next four years.

    On the other hand, if we’re standing in a room behind a table that holds two levers, and if we pull lever 1 a bullet is going to come out of the wall and kill us, and if we pull lever 2 a flame is going to shoot out of the wall and burn us down, it becomes a matter of idiosyncratic preference, doesn’t it?
    Aren’t we entitled to consider that levers 1 and 2 conspire to produce a false dichotomy?

    Or is that act of considering an indication that we’re too intelligent for the society we live in, and therefore we should sign up for “re-education?”

    No matter how much passion we have for choosing a true leader who is independent of “the bullet and the fire,” suppose there is no lever 3?

    Should we exercise our passion by pretending lever 1 or 2 is really the object of our desire?

    “You know, at first I thought Candidate A was a dangerous idiot and a puppet of larger sinister forces, but after brainwashing myself into oblivion, I realize he’s quite a patriot and has godlike attributes. How could I have missed that?”

    (By the way, it turns out that, since 1960, the three highest-percentage turnouts among the voting-age population, in a presidential election year, were 1960, 1964, and 1968. And those three weren’t anything to write home about: 63.1, 61.9, and 60.8.)

    We’re told that political change comes slowly, and working within the two-party system, we have to satisfy ourselves with the slightly better candidate, or the lesser of two evils. This is what responsible adults do. But suppose this system is terminally corrupt, and suppose that is precisely the reason for the “slow change?”

    Of course, the media will try to whip(saw) us into a frenzy about Election 2012, with oh-so earnest reportage on the campaigns and the issues. We will be told (and I have heard this since 1956), the present election is, in rank of importance, the most vital of our lives. On its outcome hangs our future as a nation.

    I’ve seen the nation hanging like a man with a rope around his neck since 1964. Before then, I was too unconscious to know what I was seeing.
    I can assert with confidence that, in this election, I would prefer Donald Duck to Barack Romney.

    The most important political issues are the unspoken ones. In particular, since 1945 at the very latest, and actually, much earlier, the biggest issue on the table has been what we now call Globalism. It sounds, on the surface, like a fairly interesting subject for debate among scholars and pundits and economists.

    Actually, Globalism is about suffering, poverty, slavery, and death. It’s about created crises whose resolution leads to an overarching planetary management system, under which the individual has only a vague lingering memory of freedom, and all goods and services are rigidly distributed from Central Planning, for “the benefit of everyone.”


    And without exception, every modern president has been on board with the Globalist plan. In a few cases, the degree of presidential surrender to the agenda has been marked by passivity and stupidity. But surrender it was and is.

    And this is, of course, what we are dealing with in 2012, as Mitt Obama runs for office.

    Crown him or don’t crown him? The lemmings have already decided that question, but we don’t have to attend the coronation.

    To offer what seems like a fairy tale, suppose enough of us expressed our political persuasion with a no-vote? What would happen if the turnout for Election 2012 was so low it was obviously a sign of no-confidence in The One Party With Two Heads?

    Would never happen, you say. I agree. Not this year. But here is my thinking, which I expressed in a piece the other day. You have to calculate whether we are closer to putting truly independent president in the White House—a president who values individual freedom and drastically limited central government above all else—or are we, in fact, closer to putting a puppet in the White House who squeaks in with only, say, 25% of the eligible voters showing up at the polls? Because 25% could not be swept under the carpet. 25% would let the world and the solar system and the galaxy know we are not happy. We are not satisfied. We are not playing along with an oligarchy that is terminally corrupt. We are intensely desirous of offloading the whole stinking mess.

    Yes, both of these alternatives are long shots. But we are living in a long-shot society.

    I gladly don’t vote for president. I enjoy not voting for president. I haven’t yet reached the point where I revel in not voting. I don’t feel the ecstasy yet, but if enough of us were of the same mind and the same no-action, I’m quite sure I would begin to feel that Chris Matthews tingle run up my leg.

    As an added bonus, I would eat much popcorn while watching beautifully coiffed network news anchors and analysts and pundits and Party hacks trying to spin and worm and feint their way out of that one.

    “Well, Jim, there was bad weather across the nation today. Gas prices have risen as well. The illiteracy rate is so high millions of people can’t read the punch cards and touch screens. If only we’d had twelve presidential debates instead of eight. Some states actually required ID before allowing people into the voting booths. The outbreak of cancer and heart disease from raw milk has been spreading across thirty-four states. The mid-air collision between eight drones over Chicago captured the attention of the nation today. We were forced to cover it, so in fact we may have contributed to the problem of the astonishing low turnout. Mea culpa. And you know, new polls show seventy-nine percent of the American people believe the world is ending on December twenty-first, 2012. So that could certainly be a factor. And here’s a breaking story out of the Harvard School of Psychological Assessment. Hmm. Never heard of that school before. A last-minute survey reveals a significant proportion of Americans are confused by the very similar spelling of ‘Obama’ and ‘Romney.’”

    Yes, I would consume many tubs of popcorn watching that show.

    The two candidates for president this year, as always, are in the Globalist club. They don’t talk about it, of course. They talk about everything else. Which is a clue.

    I have a dream. Other people have theirs. Mine is watching some piece of Globalist dreck stumble into the Oval Office after 15% of eligible voters have shown up on election day.

    And the crowds in the streets are composed of…us.

    Cheering madly, wildly, waving our signs that read: NOPE. NO. WE ARE THE 85%. DID YOUR MOMMY AND HER THREE FRIENDS VOTE FOR YOU, MR. PRESIDENT? WHADDYAGONNADONOW? THE GREAT SERENE VOID HAS TRIUMPHED. RULE THIS. COULDN’T BUILD A BURGER THIS YEAR.

    My sign would say, WE BLEW A HOLE IN THE CARTOON.

    It’s called theater with a purpose. That happens to be what reality is.

    THE VOTERS’ COALITION FOR NOT VOTING. A MAJORITY OF NONE. A COALITION OF THE UNWILLING.

    Ron Paul 2012 Should Listen To Ron Paul 2008

    Steve Watson
    Infowars.com
    June 14, 2012

    The following video from 2008 shows Ron Paul at his finest, explaining that endorsing a candidate you do not believe in just because they are the best of a bad bunch is not the way the American people are going to restore their country to a sound political footing.

    “Half the people who vote for a president end up voting for the lesser of two evils,” the Congressman notes.

    Paul explains that he had received a phone call from John McCain’s campaign requesting that he endorse McCain, who went on to become the eventual GOP nominee.

    “I don’t like the idea of having two or three million people angry at me,” Paul continues, adding “The argument was he would do a little less harm than the other candidates.”

    “We just don’t need to do that anymore… If you ever come to a point where you believe that the two parties are essentially the same, and the majority is outside the establishment, then it’s not very democratic. The process isn’t working,” the Congressman urges.

    Paul then goes on to talk about Carroll Quigley, the historian who exposed the machinations of several secretive elitist control groups, such as the Council on Foreign Relations, in his book Tragedy and Hope.

    “The important thing about Quigley was that he claims he was on the inside and did part of the planning,” Paul notes.

    The Congressman then reads a quote from Quigley expressing the notion that both parties have become coopted by the same special interests, that they should be rejected and the majority should form a third movement going forward if any real change is to come about.

    The sentiments and principles expressed in this speech by Ron Paul highlight exactly why so many are upset and downright angry over Rand Paul’s recent endorsement of Mitt Romey, and see it as a betrayal or a compromise of integrity.

    Though Ron Paul himself has not endorsed Romney, it is clear that Rand’s endorsement was closely coordinated with his father.

    Rand Paul explained this week that his endorsement of Romney was part of his attempt to work within the system to bring about change. However, as his father succinctly states in the speech from four years ago, the system is completely antithetical to change. The system is rigged to make sure the status quo is NEVER effectively challenged.

    Congressman Paul, we implore you, it is not too late to reverse the damage that has been done. Listen to your own powerful words from four years ago. Listen to the Ron Paul of 2008, and truly cement your legacy as one of the founders of the modern liberty movement.
