Hi Everyone,

I picked a few stories to get your blood boiling. But we did have one good thing happen last week. Jeb Bradley won a NH Senate seat. Good Job Jed!

Freedom Alert #1
EDITORIAL: Thought crimes
Punishing people for what they think
Washington Times

By | Thursday, April 30, 2009


Democrats are making it illegal to think certain things. The House of Representatives passed legislation yesterday that extends federal so-called hate-crimes laws to include sexual orientation. This is a move to provide special status for specific groups. It is also unnecessary. If a miscreant kills or rapes somebody, he should be prosecuted for murder or rape. What he might have been thinking is beside the point.

Economy Alert #1
Sapping America's Energy
Global-warming legislation would drive up the cost of everything.
Wall Street Journal

April 16, 2009

By Pete Du Pont

If Americans don't start paying attention to what Congress is up to, our nation's energy policy may seriously change for the worse. A bill styled the American Clean Energy and Security Act, sponsored by Democrats Henry Waxman of California and Edward Markey of Massachusetts, soon goes before the House. The enactment of laws to combat global warming is an established priority of the new administration and Congress, and their impact on the lives and opportunities of America's people would be substantial and detrimental.

Gun Control Alert #1

Lou Dobbs on May 1st, 2009

A renewed effort, tonight, that could curtail our Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms if President Obama has his way. He wants the Senate to ratify a little known treaty that would create a national registry for guns. Under that treaty other nations would be able to identify gun owners in the United States. Bill Tucker has our report.

BILL TUCKER, CNN NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): President Obama went to Mexico and brought back a 12-year-old treaty.

BARACK OBAMA (D), UNITED STATES PRESIDENT: I am urging the Senate in the united states to ratify an interamerican treaty known as SIFTA, to curb small arms trafficking that is a source of so many of the weapons used in this drug war.

TUCKER: The treaty, signed by President Clinton in 1997, was never ratified by the Senate. It calls for the institution of a regime of gun control never before seen in the United States, creating a gun registration system that would be open to international sharing. Offenders would be prosecuted under treaty law and they would be eligible for extradition.

Proponents, like Senator Dick Luger, are urging passage saying, "We should consider ratifying during this Congress the Inter-American Convention against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunitions, Explosives, and related materials." Gun rights activists are incensed.

LARRY PRATT, GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA: It reflects a deep distrust that the government of the United States has had toward the people that somehow we need to be regulated because of other people's inability to have a peaceful and orderly society?

TUCKER: Which cuts to the deep distrust some gun owners have for government in general and specifically this administration. President Obama as a senator consistently supported gun control legislation. His attorney general, Eric Holder, is also in favor of gun control. But one strong supporter of the Second Amendment in the Senate is determined to see the president does not get his wish.

SEN JOHN BARRASSO (R), WYOMING: The president said it is a very high priority for him to get this treaty that takes away our Second Amendment rights ratified by the Senate. It is a very high priority for me to make sure this treaty never gets ratified by the United States Senate. And we will find the votes to defeat it.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

TUCKER: Gun control is an issue the Democratic congressional leadership has not been eager to embrace just yet but that is what has gun rights groups concerned about this treaty. It isn't being presented as gun control. Instead, Lou, it's being presented as an international treaty that has been ratified by 29 other countries so therefore it must be right that we ratify it as well.

DOBBS: Well, I don't know who -- what do you mean, it must be right? Because 29 other countries don't have a Second Amendment or a constitution?

TUCKER: Correct. And that seems to be President Obama's logic. This is an international treaty.

DOBBS: Well, we're fools if we don't pay attention to what is being done before our very eyes. And that is what's taking place. And no one can blame President Obama. We have only ourselves to blame because he has made it very clear, as has his attorney general, the chief law enforcement officer in the country, they just want to do a few things with gun laws like take them away in large measure. Bill Tucker, thank you very much.
