We Fight!

What do we as Americans do when our livelihoods, liberties, rights, and freedoms are steadily being eroded and taken away from us? We Fight!

A Supernova Now Dark

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart dies at 43.

Thank you for your service Brett. We will miss you sir!

From the Peach Pundit:

There will be a number of posts from people on this site and others today about Andrew Breitbart. Editorially, you’re supposed to have one post that everyone can rally around, but Andrew Breitbart was such a multifaceted fascinating renaissance man. We each have our own descriptions and stories of Breitbart.

When I first heard the news I thought it was another twitter hoax. But it sadly is not.

Andrew Breitbart was, in every room I ever saw him in, the brilliant bright light and ball of energy people gravitated to and fixated on. It is like a supernova has gone dark.

For all the focus on his activism — something he was highly effective at despite criticism from the left and media who were beaten at their own game by him — he is not often credited enough for being a dot-com entrepreneur.

Having worked at the Drudge Report keeping the lights on for Matt, Breitbart had the brilliant idea of getting the AP news feed and setting up Breitbart.com. Many sites then followed suit, but he was one of the first and definitely the most successful guy to do that.

He helped get the Huffington Post off the ground and then set about building the Big sites.

What I admired most about Andrew was his willingness to be the lightening rod despite criticism from both the left and the right. He was the lightening rod and when lightening struck, Andrew used the brilliant flash of light to direct everyone’s attention to precisely what he wanted them to see. He was a master at it. The attention he garnered was never about getting attention for himself, but using the attention to tell the story and share the news he wanted told and shared.

Let the United Nations Take our Guns?

Senator Rand Paul is fighting back against the United Nations globalist agenda to disarm the American People. I had received this email and wanted to make sure all are aware of the current happening at the U.N. with Obama and Hillary Clinton currently pushing and deeply engaged an the effort for an international gun ban with the goal of ultimately confiscating our guns.

A Message from US Senator Rand Paul:

Dear fellow American,

Gun-grabbers around the globe believe they have it made.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced the Obama Administration will be working hand-in-glove with the UN to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.”

Disguised as an “International Arms Control Treaty” to fight against “terrorism,” “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates,” the UN’s Small Arms Treaty is in fact a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.

If passed by the UN and ratified by the U.S. Senate, the UN “Small Arms Treaty” would almost certainly FORCE the United States to:

*** Enact tougher licensing requirements, making law-abiding Americans cut through even more bureaucratic red tape just to own a firearm legally;

*** CONFISCATE and DESTROY ALL “unauthorized” civilian firearms (all firearms owned by the government are excluded, of course);

*** BAN the trade, sale and private ownership of ALL semi-automatic weapons;

*** Create an INTERNATIONAL gun registry, setting the stage for full-scale gun CONFISCATION.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you that this is NOT a fight we can afford to lose.

Liberty or Tyranny: Are You an Oath Keeper? Choose Sides Now

In post Patriot Act / NDAA 2012 America, the people, our law enforcement officers, and our military members, need to decide  what our country's legacy is to be. Would we be so complacent as to let America fall into becoming a tyrannical despotism? The Beacon of Freedom, as originally intended by the founders, extinguished in totalitarian encroachments upon the natural rights declared inalienably ours in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution?

We as a people have been railroaded by our "servants" in government for multiple decades into sacrificing our freedoms upon the alter of security. This trend has been turbo-charged since 9/11 in the form of tyrannical legislations becoming law, all in the name of American safety and National Interest. More deaths have have been attributed to influenza in one year then have occurred as a result of terrorism in the ten years since 9/11, with the flu killing approximately 40,000 Americans every year, while terrorism has killed less than 12,000 in ten years, including our brothers and sisters fighting for us in the military.

With that said, does the concept of "implied security" as a result of a litany of encroachments on our Constitutional freedoms and liberties justify the stifling of those same natural, God given rights?

As Americans, we have come to a historic crossroads. In essence, a repeat of the crossroads our founders had reached when they chose to put their quill to parchment, letting the world know the American Colonies would no longer allow its People to be subjugated to the tyrannical policies of the King of England. We are at this decision now. A point where each one of us MUST decide which path, as an individual, we will follow. Will you throw your support in with the continual abuses of our government against the Constitution and the People, or will you stand for Freedom and Liberty by actually keeping the oath which ALL of our Armed Forces and public servants must take?

From the Oathkeepers.org website:

Veterans, you swore an Oath...

Oath of Enlistment

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Officers Oath

I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Your Oath NEVER expires! It's time to keep it!

We, as individuals, do not have the option of deferring this decision to some future point. We each need to decide right now, which side we are on.

Steward Rhodes is the founder of Oath Keepers. In the Video below, he makes it clear the current state the federal government has brought us to, and the decision we all must ultimately make:

Obama Administration Tests Constitutional Power After Controversial Appointment

 It seems more and more people and organizations are jumping on board the train to rough up Obama on his Constitution over-stepping.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce may sue the Obama administration over President Obama's controversial appointment of Richard Cordray to head a controversial consumer financial board, officials from the business group told Fox News on Wednesday after an unprecedented display of executive power that is sure to poison already-strained relations with the GOP.

 NDAA: Open Season for the Police State

How the New Indefinite Detention Provisions can be used on Americans
Congress just passed, and the President just signed, a bill that gives legal authority to the President to kidnap and perpetually imprison persons, including American citizens, without the benefit of due process.
Members of Congress, in the days leading up to the vote, tried to assure their constituents that they have nothing to fear — that the bill doesn’t apply to Americans.
Some were lying. Most were deceived.

Stop National Defense Authorization Act Section 1031 Citizen Imprisonment Law

Stop National Defense Authorization Act Section 1031 Citizen Imprisonment Law

To Congress and the President of the United States of America:

Please stop the NDAA Section 1031 Citizen Imprisonment law including the dangerously misleading Feinstein Amendment 1031(e). I am doing everything in my power to spread this petition and contact the media, my Senator, Representative, and President in the next few days before December 13, 2011. To this end, I have signed the following petition.

----------------
Stop National Defense Authorization Act Section 1031 Citizen Imprisonment Law

The President is about to sign a law that makes it so we can be imprisoned for life without evidence or a trial -- as soon as Dec. 13. This law is called NDAA Section 1031. Some people are saying he will veto it, or that the law as written has no effect for citizens, but they are terribly mistaken. Get familiar with the facts at the bottom of this petition. This video contains proof that his administration were the ones who requested citizen imprisonment:



We have only a few days to speak up before the President approves NDAA Section 1031, permitting citizen imprisonment without evidence or a trial. Congress has already passed it overwhelmingly. They were scheduled to give it to him to sign on December 9, but they delayed giving us a small window of time to quickly alert the media and each other. We need people to know the facts listed at the bottom of this petition.

If we act urgently to raise awareness among our friends, family, and colleagues, we can still prevent this. Here is what we can do:

1) Americans must know about this to stop it. Urgently spread this petition as widely as possible. Contact the media by any means available to you. In your correspondence, include the facts listed at the bottom of this petition.

2) Congress can still block the law before December 13. Write and call your Representative and Senator telling them to stop NDAA Section 1031. Again, mention the facts listed at the bottom of this petition.
- Contact your Representative at
http://writerep.house.gov/writerep/
- Contact your Senator at
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

3) Write and call the White House to tell the President you won't sit by and watch NDAA Section 1031 become law. http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments

4) Stay smart! Here's a list of the most common points of confusion. Too many journalists are still confused about these facts -- please let them know:

- The bill passed by Congress absolutely DOES NOT exempt citizens. Section 1031 reads, "A covered person under this section" includes "any person who has committed a belligerent act".

- The Feinstein Amendment 1031(e) is dangerously misleading. Don't be fooled: In the text of 1031(e), "Nothing in this section shall be construed...", the only word that matters is "construed" -- the Supreme Court are the only ones with the power to construe the law. The Feinstein Amendment 1031(e) permits citizens to be imprisoned without evidence or a trial forever, if the Supreme Court does not EXPLICITLY repeal 1031.

- Confusingly, Obama threatened a veto for 1032, but NOT 1031. 1032 is UNRELATED to imprisoning citizens without a trial. Obama has never suggested using a veto to stop Section 1031 citizen imprisonment. In fact, applying Section 1031 to citizens was requested by the Obama administration: See the video proof here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLiKvSz_wX8

Treason Day (T-Day) 11/30/2011

I have decided to commemorate this memorable day in American History as T-Day. 

Henceforce when I hear "T-Day" I will always remember November 30th, 2012  as Treason Day; the day our Senate deliberately tore The U.S. Constitution in half, and challenged us to do something about it.

On T-Day +3, we are seeing the opposition to this illegal bill beginning to rise among The People.


S. 1867: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012

112th Congress: 2011-2012
Oppose 3%
Support 97%

An original bill to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2012 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Sen. Carl Levin [D-MI]


Status: This bill has been passed in the Senate. Next: The bill goes on to be voted on in the House. Explanation: Keep in mind that debate may be taking place on a companion bill in the House, rather than on this particular bill. [Last Updated: Dec 2, 2011 6:23AM]

The Tenth Amendment Center - Active In Georgia Again

I have accepted the position of State Chapter Coordinator for the Georgia Tenth Amendment Center, rejoining the organization actively after a two year hiatus.

The Tenth Amendment Center has facilitated some fantastic leaps in the cause of Liberty and Freedom, while solidifying understanding among Americans of the power of the Tenth Amendment in countering the abuses and expansions of the Federal government.

Federalism, which was constructed in our Constitution, limits the power Washington can wield over the sovereign states by enumerating the specific powers which it is endowed with to run the country. The Tenth Amendment, the last entry of The Bill of Rights, leaves no question as to the intent of federalism and states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

TAC, The Tenth Amendment Center, works to educate the people, while at the same time develops and introduces proposals of legislation which would help to restore the power of the individual state, and counteract the steady deterioration of the independent state's influence over the entity which was created in The Constitution to serve it and the people.

I am proud and honored to once again be actively engaged in the work of the Tenth Amendment Center as State Chapter Coordinator.
