Facebook Value Down About $15 Billion In Three Days

Facebook shares are melting down again on Tuesday, and though the rest of the stock market doesn't seem to care, it should: This episode will likely further cement Main Street's hatred and distrust of Wall Street.

That's because the Facebook IPO had examples of pretty much everything that is wrong with the stock market today. Media and analyst cheerleading? Check. The destructive influence of high-speed trading? Check. A system built for insiders to profit while retail investors pick up scraps? Duh.

Gingrich to Romney: Watch Out for Ron Paul Delegates

By Elicia Dover

Former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said the biggest danger facing the Mitt Romney campaign was the "Ron Paul forces."

Gingrich,  in an appearance on Sean Hannity Radio Monday, warned that the Republican National Convention could get out of hand if the Romney campaign didn't come with a clear plan. "I think the biggest danger in the short run is that they not think through how they're going to handle the convention in Tampa, and how they're going to handle the Ron Paul forces," Gingrich said.

Gingrich was at the state convention in Georgia last weekend and said  the  "Ron Paul people" were out in force. "In the end they lost, but there were a couple of hours when it was pretty raucous," Gingrich said. "As you know, the Ron Paul people won in Minnesota. I think they won in a number of other states. And so they've got a pretty good contingent."

Gingrich said the Romney campaign should think through "not how to pander to them" but how to deal with the Paul delegates positively and give them their "legitimate rights" as delegates. Gingrich said  the Romney campaign could  then win the nomination and set the tone for the country.

"The next truly big moment in the campaign is going to come in Tampa and thinking through that two weeks - the platform week and the week of the convention - is probably the next big challenge for the Romney people," Gingrich said.

Rand Paul: It's time for a pro-life movement in 2012

Like you, I'm excited about the possibilities in front of us for the pro-life movement in 2012.

Together, you and the National Pro-Life Alliance have made unprecedented progress in pushing the Life at Conception Act this Congress alone!

However, your hard work will go to waste if you and NPLA don't hold politicians accountable for their pro-life promises.

There are many different strategies the National Pro-Life Alliance can use in the coming months, but budget limitations mean priorities must be set.

Should your National Pro-Life Alliance set sights on aggressive steps to end all abortion on-demand -- or other steps that may well be achievable in this Congress -- or both?

Should NPLA fight to:

***  Publicize and hold candidates accountable for their campaign promises on the Life at Conception Act right now while they are fresh in the voters' minds?

***  Stop all federal funding for abortion and from channeling federal grants to pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood?

***  Exercise Congress' power to restrict the federal courts' jurisdiction over abortion?

***  Confront and oppose pro-abortion judicial nominees who would continue to strike down pro-life legislation?

As a supporter of NPLA, your opinion is highly valued and weighed in the decision making process.

So will you take a moment to answer a short, four question survey letting NPLA know what programs you would give top priority by clicking here?

Bob's Health Tip

The Benefits Of Natural Sea Salt Natural sea salt is the elixir of life and fundamental to the biological processes. It is a major component of blood plasma. It carries nutrients into and out of the cells. It helps the lining of the blood vessels to regulate blood pressure. (It is sugar that causes high blood pressure.) It helps regulate the propagation of nerve impulses. It helps the brain send communication signals to the muscles so the body moves and coordinates (sodium-potassium ion exchange). Very importantly, sea salt alkalizes the pH of the body, which is very important for total health. Adequate natural sea salt restricts the intake (desire) for fructose (sugar).  More »

Sign now to support real marriage

Should Californians be forced to accept homosexual “marriage?”

The U.S. Supreme Court is gearing up to decide the issue, and I need your immediate help.

The legal battle over California’s Proposition 8, which defines marriage as one man and one woman, is headed to the Supreme Court.

And there is so much more on the line in this case.

If the Court rules against Prop 8, it will change the entire face of our nation.

If you haven’t heard, Proposition 8 is a state constitutional amendment fully supported by the California voters.  But the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it is unconstitutional to ban homosexual marriages...

...and if the U.S. Supreme Court agrees with them, it will create a de facto legalization of homosexual “marriage” in every single state!

With just one ruling, the Homosexual Lobby could wipe out decades of hard work to protect marriage and the family.

That’s why I need you to do two things right away:

First, I need you to sign Public Advocate's Amicus brief cover letter in support of Proposition 8 to the Supreme Court.

Then I need you to chip in a contribution of $5, $10 or even $50 to support this battle.



This fight is going to take a serious commitment from you and thousands of other Americans.

Pro-family Californians can’t win this fight without our help.

And they have been fighting this struggle for a very long time.

You see, Californians first outlawed homosexual “marriage” twelve years ago when they passed Proposition 22 by a huge majority.

But ultra-liberals on the California State Supreme Court later ruled the law illegal under the state constitution.

So Public Advocate and other pro-family groups passed Prop 8 through a second referendum, adding the definition of true marriage to the state’s constitution.

But only months ago, the infamously liberal 9th District Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the definition of marriage as one man and one woman illegal under the U.S. constitution.

The good news is that the fight does not stop there.  The bad news is that the stakes are now higher than ever with the case before the U.S. Supreme Court.

As you may remember from our Boy Scouts’ Supreme Court battle, the only way you and I can weigh in on a Court decision is to file an Amicus brief.

This is essentially a legal document outlining why the Court should take one side or the other.

Tens of thousands of Public Advocate supporters signed our brief to the Supreme Court in the Boy Scouts’ case, and I believe it made the difference.

Your signed Amicus brief -- along with thousands more from pro-family Americans across the nation -- will let the Supreme Court know you and I oppose immoral homosexual “marriage.”

I want as many Public Advocate supporters as possible to sign onto the brief to remind the Supreme Court that the vast majority of Americans do NOT want homosexual “marriage” to be a constitutionally protected right.



And every dollar you and I raise today lets me contact more pro-family Americans to ask them to stand against the radical Homosexual Lobby.

I have calculated that I need to raise $37,125 to pay for this fight. Maybe even more...

The legal ramifications of loosing this case are staggering.

If the Supreme Court rules that it is unconstitutional for Californians to define marriage as one man and one woman, then it will happen in each of the more than 30 states who have already passed similar laws.

The Homosexual Lobby will only have to find a single pair of radical homosexual activists in any pro-family state to file a suit...

...and then the local courts will merely look to the Supreme Court’s decision in favor of the Homosexual Agenda and...

...poof!  Instant homosexual “marriage.”

If the U.S. Supreme Court supports this assault on pro-marriage laws, there will be no stopping the radical Homosexual Lobby.

Once they force you and me to legally bless their profane unions, then next will be homosexual adoption.

And mandatory homosexual education.

And finally, the complete Gay Bill of Special Rights.

My friend, I cannot overstate the severity of this fight.



That’s why I hope you will join me in asking the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold state marriage laws by adding your signature to the Amicus brief cover by clicking here.

We also need to spread the word to as many Americans as we can -- to recruit an overwhelming number of signers.

But I need your financial help to do it.

In the past, you’ve given generously in support of Public Advocate.

If at all possible, please chip in a contribution of $5, $10, $50 or whatever you can afford so I can rally as many pro-family Americans in this fight.

Lawyers for the radical Homosexual Lobby will soon submit briefs to the Supreme Court.  But just as we did for the Boy Scouts, you and I will fight back with an Amicus brief of our own.

Can I count on your help?

Thank you.


Eugene Delgaudio
President, Public Advocate of the United States

P.S. The Homosexual Lobby wants the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that unnatural homosexual “marriage” is a protected right under the U.S. Constitution.

This would invalidate every law in every state that bans homosexual marriage overnight!

I must raise $37,125 immediately if Public Advocate is to have any chance of influencing the Supreme Court in favor of California’s Proposition 8.

Please sign the Amicus brief cover along with a contribution of $5, $10, -- or whatever you can afford –- so I can rally many more pro-family Americans to this fight.
