(Pictures/Icons click for further Information) "The secret of happiness is freedom. And the secret of freedom is courage." –- Thucydides **Be Active... make sure you VOTE!**"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." -- Thomas Jefferson “A Just government respects the rights of all people equally and grants special favor to none.” -- Thomas Martin Link: (Tom Martin for State Representative District 77) "The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics." -- Thomas Sowell AMERICA: Time to **WAKE-UP** from our deep sleep!------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Raised in Miami, Florida and moved back to my heritage of Central Pennsylvania over twelve years ago. I’m right were I’m suppose to be – Happy Valley, Pennsylvania. I like the simple qualities of life and loving all the challenges that life has to offer. Helping people and being involved with human social causes is my passion. As a Christian I believe it is our human responsibility to “Call to Renewal." I strongly believe in Sojourners/Call to Renewal mission: "to articulate the biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world." WWJD? My other passion is helping maintain and restore constitutional liberties, rights & privileges through active participation in American civics. I strongly support in safeguarding the separation of church and state and protecting religious liberty. We must not become a theocracy. The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” Although never stated in the Constitution, the phrase “separation of church and state” was traced to a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists in Connecticut. Thomas Jefferson’s Final Letter as sent to the Danbury Baptist Association, January 1, 1802:To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut. Gentlemen The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. My duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing. Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem. Th Jefferson Jan. 1. 1802. With all said, you can view me as a "Christian-Libertarian/Fiscal-Conservative" ...if that makes any sense? I am:
100% Pro-Family 100% Pro-Gun Rights 100% Pro-Religious Freedom 100% Anti-War Pro-Congressional Reform Pro-State's Rights Anti-Income Tax 100% Following the Constitution LIBERTARIAN PHILOSOPHY "Libertarians believe the answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders."

All initiation of force is a violation of someone else's rights, whether initiated by an individual or the state, for the benefit of an individual or group of individuals, even if it's supposed to be for the benefit of another individual or group of individuals. Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense." "The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people." -- Congressman Ron Paul, (R) Texas CONSTITUTIONAL 1ST AMENDMENT-FREE PRESS ISSUES"Where men cannot freely convey their thoughts to one another, no other liberty is secure."-- William E. Hocking, 'Freedom of the Press', 1947 WHAT IS NETWORK NEUTRALITY? Network Neutrality — or "Net Neutrality" for short — is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet. Put simply, Net Neutrality means no discrimination. Net Neutrality prevents Internet providers from speeding up or slowing down Web content based on its source, ownership or destination. Net Neutrality is the reason why the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation, and free speech online. It protects the consumer's right to use any equipment, content, application or service on a non-discriminatory basis without interference from the network provider. With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data — not choose which data to privilege with higher quality service. WHO WANTS TO GET RID OF NET NEUTRALITY? The nation's largest telephone and cable companies — including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner — want to be Internet gatekeepers, deciding which Web sites go fast or slow and which won't load at all. They want to tax content providers to guarantee speedy delivery of their data. They want to discriminate in favor of their own search engines, Internet phone services, and streaming video — while slowing down or blocking their competitors. These companies have a new vision for the Internet. Instead of an even playing field, they want to reserve express lanes for their own content and services — or those from big corporations that can afford the steep tolls — and leave the rest of us on a winding dirt road. The big phone and cable companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to gut Net Neutrality, putting the future of the Internet at risk. NET NEUTRALITY - SAVE THE INTERNET VIDEO:LIFE WITHOUT NET NEUTRALITY?:WHAT CAN YOU DO? ACT NOW! CLICK TO FIND OUT:------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ "The owners and managers of the press determine which person, which facts, which version of the facts, and which ideas shall reach the public." -- Report by the 'Commission on Freedom of the Press'. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY BIG MEDIA? Mainstream media is the term often used to describe the collective group of big TV, radio and newspapers in the United States. Mainstream implies that the news being produced is for the benefit and enlightenment of the mainstream population-the majority of people living in the US. Mainstream media include a number of communication mediums that carry almost all the news and information on world affairs that most Americans receive. The word media is plural, implying a diversity of news sources. However, mainstream media no longer produce news for the mainstream population-nor should we consider the media as plural. Instead it is more accurate to speak of big media in the US today as the corporate media and to use the term in the singular tense-as it refers to the singular monolithic top-down power structure of self-interested news giants. "The StopBigMedia.com Coalition is an alliance of consumer, public interest, media reform, and other groups that have joined together to fight runaway media consolidation and urge the FCC to put public service before the self-interest of large media corporations."

"There comes a time when a moral man can't obey a law which his conscience tells him is unjust." -- Martin Luther King, Jr "Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth." -- Mohandas Gandhi "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain, in 'The Mysterious Stranger' 1916 "Behind the visible government there is an invisible government upon the throne that owes the people no loyalty and recognizes no responsibility. To destroy this invisible government, to undo the ungodly union between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the task of a statesman." -- Teddy Roosevelt, 1912 "We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world--no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men." -- Woodrow Wilson, in 'The New Freedom', 1913 “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." -- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (letter to Col. William F. Elkins) "The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling power. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing." --President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ('One Thousand Americans', George Seldes 1947) "Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it ..." -- General Douglas MacArthur, 1957 "Of all the tyrannies on human kind the worst is that which persecutes the mind." -- John Dryden, 'The Hind and the Panther', 1687 "Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate systematical job of reducing us to slaves." -- Thomas Jefferson "The tyranny of a principal in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy." -- Montesquieu "The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes." -- Thomas Paine Therefore... "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke Because... "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." -- Alexander Hamilton "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Anonymous analysis of Benito Mussolini's Fascist State "The Fascist State lays claim to rule in the economic field no less than in others; it makes its action felt throughout the length and breadth of the country by means of its corporate, social, and educational institutions, and all the political, economic, and spiritual forces of the nation, organised in their respective associations, circulate within the State." -- Benito Mussolini, 1935, The Doctrine of Fascism, Firenze: Vallecchi Editore (p. 41) LINKS:
CORPORATE FASCISM by LYNN STUTER IT'S CALLED 'AMERICAN CORPORATE FASCISM!' - STRUCTURE OF FASCISM IS CORPORATISM, OR THE CORPORATE STATE "...Unfortunately for Americans, we have come to equate fascism with its symptoms, not with its structure. The structure of fascism is corporatism, or the corporate state. The structure of fascism is the union, marriage, merger or fusion of corporate economic power with governmental power. Failing to understand fascism, as the consolidation of corporate economic and governmental power in the hands of a few, is to completely misunderstand what fascism is. It is the consolidation of this power that produces the demagogues and regimes we understand as fascist ones." "While we Americans have been trained to keenly identify the opposite of fascism, i.e., government intrusion into and usurpation of private enterprise, we have not been trained to identify the usurpation of government by private enterprise..." The Government: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.

Music:"...National, International and Independent Artists"ALL Generations and ALL Styles (Rock, Pop, Folk, Blues, Country/Western, Classic, Latin, Reggae, Christian, etc.) of music A thru Z. Primarly enjoy two areas: Rock Music (American, British, German, etc. - Heavy, Lite, Moderate, Alternative, Funk) and Latin (mambo & jazz) Music (This is my Miami upbringing and diversity) I love the Canadian Band - BARENAKED LADIES. Their folk-rock-based style encompasses everything from alternative rock to harmony-laced pop to jazzy swing. The band is built on solid musicianship and smart lyrics; a blend of humorous, melancholony, and insightful tunes. Their music maybe simple, but written in perfect rhythem and pacing. A very talented group of musicians. |

Movies:Most everything except overdone Hollywood movie plots with sensational action involved. Wait... that is most everything;-) Drama primarily - "Cold Mountain", "American Beauty", and "October Sky" are to name a few. The classics "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "The Bishops Wife" are my favorites. Foreign movie would be "Cinema Paradiso" and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley". |
|
Television:Question: Why is American Television considered a T.V. "medium"? Answer: It's neither "rare" or "well-done". Have not had T.V. for over seven years now ...I don't believe in T.V. American T.V. is a CONTROLLED corporate medium that shapes and molds thought (indoctrination) in all aspects (news, policy, entertainment, sport, etc.) to numb the mind or dumbify the American populous. Very very dangerous! |

Books:I love to read! "Reading promotes thinking." There are too many to list, so here are a few:"The New Testament" -The Bible , "Common Sense Christianity", "Purpose Driven Life" -Dr. Rick Warren "God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It" -Rev Jim Wallis" , "The Gnostic Gospels" -Elaine Pagels, "The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot" -Naomi Wolf , "Unequal Protection-The Rise of Corporate Dominance and Theft of Human Rights" -Thom Hartmann, "We The People: A Call To Take Back America" -Thom Hartmann , "Screwed-The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class" -Thom Hartmann, "What Would Jefferson Do? A Return to Democracy" -Thom Hartmann , "Introducing Critical Theory" -Stuart Sim & Borin Van Loon "The Global Class War" -Jeff Faux" , "Interventions" -Noam Chomsky, "Failed States" -Noam Chomsky , "Hegemony or Survival" -Noam Chomsky, "Blowback" -Chalmers Johnson , "Perpetual War For Perpetual Peace" -Gore Vidal, "American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21stCentury " -Kevin Phillips , "American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush" -Kevin Phillips, "The Man Who Warned America" -Murray Weiss , " , "The Fantasy Bond" -Robert W. Firestone, Ph.D, "Creating Love-The Next Great Stage Of Growth" -John Bradshaw. Books on History, Economics, Politics, and Psychology. All of the classics I have read... especially "Common Sense" -Thomas Paine , "Escape From Freedom" -Erich Fromm, "Second Treatise of Government" -John Locke , "Leviathan" -Thomas Hobbes, "The Revolt Of The Masses" -Jose Ortega y Gaset , "The Wordly Philosopher" -Robert L. Heilbroner, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" -William L. Shirer , "Brave New World" -Aldous Huxley, "1984" -George Orwell , "Brothers Karamazov" -Fyodor Dostoevsky, and "Moby Dick" -Herman Melville. Anything that opens up our closed minds? "Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" -Robert M. Persig. This is a neat novel based on an inquiry into values (not what you think by the title!). "Sophie's World - A Novel About the History of Philosophy" -Jostein Gaarder. A marvelous journey through the eyes of philosophy; he makes you think. Magazines & Newspapers include: "Sojourners Magazine", "Ski" , "The Sun Magazine", and "The Christian Science Monitor". |

Heroes:GOD ...He gave me the ability to Love & use Reason ...and never to abandon it in His name. My Dad and anyone I meet in life who stands-up to what is wrong...Heroes for me are ordinary people with a healthy balance of Heart & Reason. Honor & Integrity James Madison "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations" Thomas Jefferson "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." “A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.” Abraham Lincoln "I freely acknowledge myself the servant of the people, according to the bond of service - the United States Constitution; and that, as such, I am responsible to them." -- August 26, 1863 "Stand with anybody that stands RIGHT. Stand with him while he is right and PART with him when he goes wrong." "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." Dwight D. Eisenhower “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” -- April 1953 "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.” -- Farwell Address, January 1961 Martin Luther King Jr "History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people." "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." -- 'Strength to Love', 1963 "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." -- April 16, 1963 "Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." -- December 11, 1964*“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few.” -- Wendell Phillips, 1852* Miscellaneous SOJOURNERS - Christians for Justice & PeaceFounded in 1971, our mission is to articulate the biblical call to social justice, inspiring hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world."In our lives and in our work, we seek to be guided by the biblical principles of justice, mercy, and humility."RED LETTER CHRISTIANS "The Red Letter Christians are a network of effective, progressive, Christian communicators urging an open, honest and public dialogue on issues of faith and politics. We believe and seek to put in to action the red letter words in the Holy Bible spoken by Jesus. The goal of the group is to advance the message that our faith cannot be reduced to only two hot button social issues - abortion and homosexuality. "Fighting poverty, caring for the environment, advancing peace, promoting strong families, and supporting a consistent ethic of life are all critical moral and biblical values." END THE WAR "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more." -- Isaiah 2:4 "A call for peaceful resolution rather than another disastrous war." PLEDGE TO VOTE OUT POVERTY Martin Luther King Jr. famously warned that a "a nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."’CRY FREEDOM’“In the early Christian communities, the character of the Jesus movement found expression in the abolition of social distinctions of class, religion, race, and gender.” -- Mary John Mananzan“There is no dearth of Christian service today. But because much of it is service without prophetic compassion, it is powerless to bring about a radical change in individuals and society.” -- Vishal MangalwadiQuoted in Cry Freedom by Charles Ringma - Prof, Missions & Evangelism
