Net “Neutrality” is the Trojan horse of our era. On the outside it looks like it will force broadband companies to give everyone unfiltered access to the Internet. The truth, however, is that it gives the U.S. government the authority to take absolute control of any and all American Internet Service Providers. It is painfully obvious this power will forever be abused by reigning political bodies, now and in the future, to filter out the voice of their opposition.

Contact your Senators and demand they protect Free Speech and the Free Economy by saying NO to Net Neutrality!

As is always the case, our founding fathers have enlightening words about every topic in dark times. I find the following passage from Samuel Adams in 1772 regarding tyranny to be insightful:

Is it not high time for the people of this country explicitly to declare whether they will be freemen or slaves? It is an important question, which ought to be decided. It concerns us more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in the event; for wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent. It is the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice, for they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail. The religion and public liberty of the people are intimately connected: their interests are interwoven; they cannot subsist separately, and therefore they rise and fall together. For this reason, it is always observable that those who are combined to destroy the people’s liberties practice every art to poison their morals. How greatly then does it concern us, at all events, to put a stop to the progress of tyranny. It has advanced already by far too many strides. We are this moment upon a precipice. The next step may be fatal to us. Let us, then, act like wise men, calmly look around us, and consider what is best to be done.

- Samuel Adams, 1772

Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress need to remember and start to heed the words of our founding Fathers.

“Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.” Benjamen Franklin – Poor Richard’s Almanack (1738)

It’s time to abort the healthcare bills and repeal both the Patriot Act and the 2003 Medicare Bill. Really all I’m asking for are my Constitutional rights. The Constitution’s a short document; Congress, you should consider reading it sometime. In fact, here’s the transcript with amendment notations in red.

On a side-note: the 2003 Medicare bill was supposed to make medicine affordable and was budgeted to cost $400 billion a year, it has since grown to $1.2 Trillion! We can only expect the same from the current healthcare proposals.

Nothing makes a Monday afternoon better than this: Gallup polling shows Conservative out number Liberals in all 50 states.  This is really good news going into 2010 senate and gubernatorial elections. Hopefully we can take back control of our country before our current leaders destroy us!

It’s nice to see I’m not in the minority with my aversion of Obama’s socialist abolition of liberty “health care reform”. Contact your representatives and demand they vote against the bill in the name of preserving liberty.
