Ron Paul: The Only Candidate For Real Reform

With Rick Santorum out of the race, Ron Paul and his supporters are the last remaining obstacle standing in the way of establishment darling Mitt Romney securing the Republican nomination.

So you can be sure the establishment is gearing up to pull out every dirty trick in the book to SHUT OUT Ron Paul supporters from the National Convention.

You and I can’t allow that to happen.

That’s why I hope you’ll pledge to contribute to Ron Paul’s Taxpayer Freedom Money Bomb coming up on April 15.

Your generous contribution will help our campaign double down on our efforts to pick up delegates where it really counts.

The truth is, these next two months will be make-or-break for our campaign to Restore America NOW!

During this time, more than nine states will be holding massive Conventions to select National Delegates to Tampa, Florida – the delegates that will ultimately choose the Republican nominee.

National Delegates will also be chosen at numerous District Conventions taking place all across the country.

At each of these Conventions, Ron Paul supporters have an excellent chance to secure crucial delegate spots.

There are also the Texas and California primaries – where hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs.

And after all the hard work we’ve all put in over the past year, I hope you agree that we can’t afford to cut back now.

So please pledge to contribute to Ron Paul’s April 15 Taxpayer Freedom Money Bomb!

Make no mistake, this fight isn’t going to be easy.

If we’re going to stop the establishment from shutting out Ron Paul, our campaign must have the resources to fight back against their election machine.




That means hundreds of thousands of phone calls must be made, targeted direct mail and emails need to be sent out, and we must be able to run hard-hitting TV and radio ads.

Since we know they’re going to get really nasty, there’s also the cost of lawyers, legal fees, and other resources we’ll need to stop their dirty schemes.

I’m confident if we have the resources to effectively fight back, we will be able to overcome their tactics and elect a large number of National Delegates for Ron Paul.

And it’s absolutely vital we have the funds to get his message of peace and prosperity out to undecided voters in Texas, California, and as many other upcoming states as possible.

But Ron Paul’s ability to win depends on the generosity and support of good folks like you.

Take St. Charles County, Missouri, for instance.

As you remember, the original caucus there was canceled after the establishment attempted to railroad Ron Paul supporters – leading to riot police and the arrest of Ron Paul supporter Brent Stafford.

The caucus re-do took place this past Tuesday and was run by the State Party to ensure fairness.

Thanks to your continued support, Ron Paul supporters turned out in droves – outnumbering Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum’s combined attempt to shut Ron Paul delegates out.

Brent Stafford was elected Caucus Chair, and he ran the caucus in a very professional and fair manner.

When all was said and done, Ron Paul WON every single delegate and alternate delegate out of St. Charles – which is the largest Republican County in the entire state of Missouri.

I hope you’ll pledge to contribute to Ron Paul’s April 15 Money Bomb so we can report even more stories of victory!

Over the past year, you and I have fought hard against the establishment.

We’ve overcome their backroom deals, flat-out lies, and other manipulation tactics.

As a result, Ron Paul is in a position to compete at the National Convention.

But at these final conventions is where our battle gets really heated.  We must be able to fight back so we can win as many delegates as possible for Ron Paul.

So please, pledge your most generous contribution to Ron Paul’s April 15 Taxpayer Freedom Money Bomb to help us take this fight all the way to Tampa, Florida.

Together, you and I can Restore America NOW!

For Liberty,

John Tate
Campaign Manager

P.S. Over the next two months, Ron Paul supporters will be competing for National Delegate spots at over nine State Conventions – as well as dozens of Congressional District Conventions all across the country.

And we’ll also be going all-out to pick up as many delegates as possible in the Texas and California Republican Primaries.

That’s why I’m counting on you to pledge a generous contribution to Ron Paul’s Taxpayer Freedom Money Bomb to make sure our campaign has the resources to take this fight all the way to Tampa, Florida.

Rand Paul: Standing up for mom

You may have heard the attack on Ann Romney by a prominent Democratic insider, who is also a frequent visitor to the White House, saying she “never worked a day in her life.”

This is another example of the disdain the inside-the-beltway elites hold for the values you and I - and millions of Americans - hold dear.

I have witnessed first-hand, with both my mother and my wife, that you cannot place a dollar sign on the work a mother puts into raising her children.

You and I know the family is the backbone of any good and prosperous society and mothers whose calling is to raise their families full time at home should be praised, not put down by an elitist, partisan attack dog.

Moms every where were outraged.

So I wanted to pass along the reaction from my wife, Kelley, to this attack on the family.

“I've seen both sides of the equation. I worked for a decade in marketing for the telecommunications industry and for more than a decade raising three sons.

I stand with Ann Romney and millions of other moms who know that being a full time mom to young children is definitely hard work.

This administration's attack dogs and their cynical attempts to rally their extreme base will backfire. They should call a cease fire to their war on the family.”

I think that pretty much sums it up.

“Gay Pride” rainbow flag flown above an operating U.S. military base

This is an outrage.

It is being reported right now that the “gay pride” rainbow flag was flown above an operating U.S. military base in Afghanistan.

That’s right, the radical Homosexual Lobby is trying to claim dominance over our troops fighting over seas!





The very idea that any American would be pleased by this disgusting display and breach of the military’s procedures is beyond me -- but the Homosexual Lobby is praising this story for all its worth.

It doesn’t matter to them that the majority of men and women serving in uniform are utterly appalled by the Homosexual Agenda.

This incident is a direct result of the Homosexual Lobby’s skyrocketing influence in military affairs -- starting with the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

Soldiers are not allowed to speak up against pro-homosexual displays without risking punishment.

And worst of all, while Obama instantly apologized for the accidently burning of Korans, he has not said one word against the despicable flight of the homosexual flag over a military base.

My friend, this is their vision for our future:

One nation, bound in sin, obedient to the Homosexual Agenda.

Thankfully this incident is under investigation, but the lack of outrage from leadership in the military or the White House is a troubling indicator that they will let this violation of the military pass.

Pro-Family Americans have to let the establishment know that we demand better.

Ron Paul: There's Still a Strong Anti-Romney Element in the Party

Do the Pope and Bible Believers Really Have That Much in Common?

In the popular Bible study program, The Alpha Course, near the end of the 13th session, video presenter Nicky Gumbel quotes a high Vatican official stating why Christians should work in unity with Roman Catholicism: “What unites us as Christians, right across the denominations, is infinitely greater than what divides us.”
Bible believers, who know the unbiblical teachings of the pope, know that this is a bold lie. Yet, this deception has become a central theme of Rome’s attempt to woo back the “separated brethren,” the unprotesting “Protestants.” After executing tens of millions of “heretics” over several centuries, Catholic leaders decided to change tactics. The Reformation succeeded in putting a spotlight on the atrocities of the Inquisitions. Satan saw that he must change the tactics he was using through this false “church.” When Hitler failed to establish a new Holy Roman Empire, the Vatican came up with the Vatican Ecumenical Council II. This produced the propaganda that Roman Catholicism had somehow changed to become just another Christian denomination with a little different “worship tradition.” Protestants were no longer heretics, but separated brethren; all “Christians” must work together for “peace and justice,” finding common causes such as abortion, poverty, and world hunger. The old ideas of the pope being the anti-Christ and Catholics needing to be born again were now obsolete. This new tactic, called “ecumenism,” has succeeded in blunting the Protestant efforts at winning Roman Catholics to full assurance of salvation in Christ.
So, why is this Alpha statement a lie? Do Bible believers really have more in common with Roman Catholics than our differences? Author Rick Jones was raised a Roman Catholic and saw firsthand its teachings. In his book, Understanding Roman Catholicism, he examines 37 doctrines held by the pope that directly contradict biblical teachings. Jones points out at the beginning that Bible believers and Catholicism disagree at the very basic level: what is the final authority for truth.
Jones quotes from the official 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church showing that Roman Catholic Tradition and something called the “Magisterium” stand equal with the Bible in authority. In fact, the Magisterium trumps the Bible because it delegates to the “church” the sole right to interpret the Bible.
Thus, when Catholics are told it is okay to read the Bible, they are warned that they won’t understand it because they need the “church” to explain it to them. For example, where Mark 6:3 speaks of Jesus having brothers and sisters, Rome teaches that these were actually cousins or other relatives because Jesus’ mother, Mary, was a perpetual virgin after she gave birth to Jesus. (See also Matt. 13:55 and Galatians 1:19.) This interpretation is necessary because it would not be appropriate for the Virgin Mary goddess to have born other, normal children.
Jones goes on to explain how Roman teaching on salvation is unbiblical since it must come through the “church” and not through Christ alone. And it is not simple salvation by faith, alone, but requires certain good works and rituals.
Couple these with other unbiblical teachings such as purgatory, worship of the wafer god, the pope’s priestcraft hierarchy, infant baptism, prayer to saints, bowing to idols, confession to a priest instead of God, forbidding to marry, and vain repetition in prayer, and there is no way that what we agree on is greater than what we disagree on. Let’s expose this lie every chance we get. Over a billion precious souls are deceived by this masterpiece of Satan. Chick Publications provides a wide range of tracts and books exposing this prostitute church as the great Whore of Revelation 17 and 18.

RON PAUL: Defender of the Constitution

Pastor Calls Santorum Followers to Vote for Ron Paul

Many Christians are saddened to learn that Rick Santorum suspended his Presidential campaign. "Christians must seek God and ask who is the most God-fearing person running for President," says Pastor Steven Andrew, President of USA Christian Ministries. He is calling whole churches and individual Christians to fast and pray every Wednesday through January 2013 to seek God's counsel and help for our nation.

"I want to ask you now to join me in getting America back on track with God," he says.

The ministry president believes God wants a government and nation after God's own heart. This means that if Republicans fail to give a Christian candidate, Christians should look elsewhere. However, he believes that after Santorum, then Ron Paul is the most God-fearing Presidential candidate that Christians should support (Exodus 18:21).

"Christians are to vote for Christians, not non-Christians Mitt Romney and Barack Obama," he adds.

The pastor explains that the First Commandment tells us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength (Mark 12:30). And the first of the Ten Commandments say to have no other God before the LORD (Exodus 20:3). Therefore, God calls Christians to vote for Christians, not the lesser of two evils.

"If a pastor or a Christian leader says to support Romney or Obama, don't listen to them. They are going against Scripture," he continues. "The Bible teaches that Romney and Obama believe in a different Jesus, not the Biblical Jesus Christ."

"God says Romney and Obama are 'accursed' and therefore those who vote for them are also accursed. No one wants to be accursed," he adds. This is based on Galatians 1:9 which says, "____". In addition, the Holy Bible says, "____" (2 Chronicles 19:2).

Obama covers Jesus' name and cross at Georgetown, advocates to leave living babies to die who survive botched abortions, promotes homosexual sin and opposes religious liberty.

Indoctrinating The Ignorant

by Bryan Nash

OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PHOTO BY CHUCK KENNEDY

First lady Michelle Obama greets students from Nancy Moseley Elementary School during an event at Kleberg Rylie Recreation Center in Dallas.

Dictators, tyrants, communists and cult leaders all have one thing in common: successful indoctrination. Indoctrination is the process by which long-held beliefs are slowly chipped away using a chisel of fear and falsehoods. The Obama family is attempting to indoctrinate every generation of Americans. Don’t be fooled. It is not a mere campaigning strategy; it is a calculated tactic to lead America away from her foundational principles.
At every stage of life, one is bombarded with liberal propaganda. The inundation is enough to make one lose his mind. And that’s the whole point. It’s simple psychology. If you are exposed to something enough, you will become more and more accepting of it — no matter how far afield you originally thought it was.

Fresh Out Of The Womb

It starts as soon as baby arrives. Barack Obama wants you to beautify your newborn with an Obama bib. What better time to start? The child is a blank slate. Nothing has to be erased. It is practically a dictator’s dream. Imagine Adolf Hitler’s delight if all the babies in Germany could have donned Hitler apparel while drinking the milk of their oppressed mothers.
Truthfully, I have considered buying one of these. It would work well as a burp cloth. From a young age, a child can learn the correlation between the need to vomit and the name “Obama.”

No Longer With Mommy, Now With Michelle

Once the bib comes off and it’s time for school, the indoctrination only increases. Who knows? Your child may get to eat lunch with the first lady. If your child’s school isn’t fortunate enough to have her visit in person, he can still watch her on TV or perhaps attend a live event.
It’s hard to say “no” to a grandchild. Yet another reason the kids are targeted. While speaking in San Francisco, Michelle Obama said:

I mean, I can’t tell you in the last election how many grandparents I ran into who said, “I wasn’t going to vote for Barack Obama until my grandson talked to me, until my great-grandson talked to me, and talked about the future he wanted for this country.”
You can get out there with your parents. You guys can knock on doors. I had one young lady who brought me a petition — she’s already working. You can convince wrong people. Sometimes we don’t listen to ourselves, but we will listen to our children.

Indoctrinate U

When it’s time for the bib wearer-turned-campaigner to go off to college, don’t be surprised if the indoctrination escalates. A recent study investigated the University of California system, which consists of nine colleges. They found that the academies were using the classroom to advance a political agenda. And only one side of the issues was being presented. The study revealed that literature that expressed conservative philosophies, the beliefs of the Founding Fathers and the history of Western thought was not discussed.
This is largely due to hiring practices. At the University of California-Berkeley, conservative professors are a rare commodity. It was found that there are 17 Democratic sociology professors and 0 Republicans, 28 Democratic political science professors and 2 Republicans, 29 Democratic English professors and 1 Republican, and 31 Democratic history professors and 1 Republican.

Welfare Is Easy, Work Is Exhausting

After this child who has been exposed to only one viewpoint starts trying to earn a serious living, he will discover that it is much easier to just sit back in the recliner and wait for his paycheck to come in the mail. Why work? His income will be taken away to support those frequenting food stamp Friday.
The people living off the government are the ones living the high life. Why work hard and drive a used car when you can ride in a limo to pick up food stamps? By allowing those using government assistance programs to live it up, the liberals have been encouraging young people to become totally dependent on the government for survival. An intentional ploy? I think so.

From Welfare To Wheelchair

The bib-wearing/campaigning/welfare-living individual will eventually grow old. Obama has gone to great lengths to make sure we all know that life is scary in old age — especially if you support conservatives. Last year, when talks of the debt ceiling swirled, Obama remarked in an interview with CBS News: “I cannot guarantee that those [Social Security] checks go out on August 3^rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”
You can be confident of this: When it is about time for you to go to a coffin, Obama will talk about what’s lacking in the coffers. The elderly are society’s most vulnerable. Those who are scared can easily be persuaded.
The liberal regime has a great offense. We must defend our Constitutional rights. We can either be ignorant and indoctrinated or know the facts and fight for freedom.

Jailing Americans for Profit: The Rise of the Prison Industrial Complex

By John W. Whitehead 

“Mass incarceration on a scale almost unexampled in human history is a fundamental fact of our country today—perhaps the fundamental fact, as slavery was the fundamental fact of 1850. In truth, there are more black men in the grip of the criminal-justice system—in prison, on probation, or on parole—than were in slavery then. Over all, there are now more people under ‘correctional supervision’ in America—more than six million—than were in the Gulag Archipelago under Stalin at its height.”—Adam Gopnik, “The Caging of America”

In an age when freedom is fast becoming the exception rather than the rule, imprisoning Americans in private prisons run by mega-corporations has turned into a cash cow for big business. At one time, the American penal system operated under the idea that dangerous criminals needed to be put under lock and key in order to protect society. Today, as states attempt to save money by outsourcing prisons to private corporations, the flawed yet retributive American “system of justice” is being replaced by an even more flawed and insidious form of mass punishment based upon profit and expediency.
As author Adam Gopnik reports for the New Yorker:

[A] growing number of American prisons are now contracted out as for-profit businesses to for-profit companies. The companies are paid by the state, and their profit depends on spending as little as possible on the prisoners and the prisons. It’s hard to imagine any greater disconnect between public good and private profit: the interest of private prisons lies not in the obvious social good of having the minimum necessary number of inmates but in having as many as possible, housed as cheaply as possible.

Consider this: despite the fact that violent crime in America has been on the decline, the nation’s incarceration rate has tripled since 1980. Approximately 13 million people are introduced to American jails in any given year. Incredibly, more than six million people are under “correctional supervision” in America, meaning that one in fifty Americans are working their way through the prison system, either as inmates, or while on parole or probation. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the majority of those being held in federal prisons are convicted of drug offenses—namely, marijuana. Presently, one out of every 100 Americans is serving time behind bars.
Little wonder, then, that public prisons are overcrowded. Yet while providing security, housing, food, medical care, etc., for six million Americans is a hardship for cash-strapped states, to profit-hungry corporations such as Corrections Corp of America (CCA) and GEO Group, the leaders in the partnership corrections industry, it’s a $70 billion gold mine. Thus, with an eye toward increasing its bottom line, CCA has floated a proposal to prison officials in 48 states offering to buy and manage public prisons at a substantial cost savings to the states. In exchange, and here’s the kicker, the prisons would have to contain at least 1,000 beds and states would have agree to maintain a 90% occupancy rate in the privately run prisons for at least 20 years.
The problem with this scenario, as Roger Werholtz, former Kansas secretary of corrections, recognizes is that while states may be tempted by the quick infusion of cash, they “would be obligated to maintain these (occupancy) rates and subtle pressure would be applied to make sentencing laws more severe with a clear intent to drive up the population.” Unfortunately, that’s exactly what has happened. Among the laws aimed at increasing the prison population and growing the profit margins of special interest corporations like CCA are three-strike laws (mandating sentences of 25 years to life for multiple felony convictions) and “truth-in-sentencing” legislation (mandating that those sentenced to prison serve most or all of their time).
And yes, in case you were wondering, part of the investment pitch for CCA and its cohort GEO Group include the profits to be made in building “kindler, gentler” minimum-security facilities designed for detaining illegal immigrants, especially low-risk detainees like women and children. With immigration a persistent problem in the southwestern states, especially, and more than 250 such detention centers going up across the country, there is indeed money to be made. For example, GEO’s new facility in Karnes County, Texas, boasts a “608-bed facility still smelling of fresh paint and new carpet stretch[ing] across a 29-acre swath of farmland in rural South Texas. Rather than prison cells, jumpsuits, and barbed wire fencing, detainees here will sleep in eight-bed dormitory-style quarters, wearing more cozy attire like jeans and T-shirts. The facility's high walls enclose lush green courtyards with volleyball courts, an AstroTurfed soccer field, and basketball hoops, where detainees are free to roam throughout the day.” All of this, of course, comes at taxpayer expense.
“And this is where it gets creepy,” observes reporter Joe Weisenthal for Business Insider, “because as an investor you’re pulling for scenarios where more people are put in jail.” In making its pitch to potential investors, CCA points out that private prisons comprise a unique, recession-resistant investment opportunity, with more than 90% of the market up for grabs, little competition, high recidivism among prisoners, and the potential for “accelerated growth in inmate populations following the recession.” In other words, caging humans for profit is a sure bet, because the U.S. population is growing dramatically and the prison population will grow proportionally as well, and more prisoners equal more profits.
In this way, under the pretext of being tough on crime, state governments can fatten their coffers and fill the jail cells of their corporate benefactors. However, while a flourishing privatized prison system is a financial windfall for corporate investors, it bodes ill for any measures aimed at reforming prisoners and reducing crime. CCA understands this. As it has warned investors, efforts to decriminalize certain activities, such as drug use (principally possession of marijuana), could cut into their profits. So too would measures aimed at reducing the prison system’s disproportionately racist impact on minorities, given that the incarceration rate for blacks is seven times that of whites. Immigrants are also heavily impacted, with roughly 2.5 million people having been through the immigration detention system since 2003. As private prisons begin to dominate, the many troubling characteristics of our so-called criminal justice system today—racism, economic inequality, inadequate access to legal representation, lack of due process, etc.—will only become more acute.
Doubtless, a system already riddled by corruption will inevitably become more corrupt, as well. For example, consider the “kids for cash” scandal which rocked Luzerne County, Penn., in 2009. For ten years, the Mid Atlantic Youth Service Corporation, which specializes in private prisons for juvenile offenders, paid two judges to jail youths and send them to private prison facilities. The judges, who made over $2.6 million in the scam, had more than 5,000 kids come through their courtrooms and sent many of them to prison for petty crimes such as stealing DVDs from Wal-Mart and trespassing in vacant buildings. When the scheme finally came to light, one judge was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison and the other received 28 years, but not before thousands of young lives had been ruined.
In this way, minor criminals, from drug users to petty thieves, are being handed over to corporations for lengthy prison sentences which do nothing to protect society or prevent recidivism. This is the culmination of an inverted justice system which has come to characterize the United States, a justice system based upon increasing the power and wealth of the corporate-state.
No matter what the politicians or corporate heads might say, prison privatization is neither fiscally responsible nor in keeping with principles of justice. It simply encourages incarceration for the sake of profits, while causing millions of Americans, most of them minor, nonviolent criminals, to be handed over to corporations for lengthy prison sentences which do nothing to protect society or prevent recidivism. This perverse notion of how prisons should be run, that they should be full at all times, and full of minor criminals, is evil.
