WithOUT Rule of LAW
Today is A Sad Day in the History of the New Republic. Sixty-Eight Oath-Breakers in the U.S. Senate having Voted "aye" -including 16 Republican turncoats- on Cloture Motion to "AMEND the Constitution by Legislative FIAT.
I am certain these Wo/Men feared the optics of standing WithIN the Rule of LAW, and I PRAY that they will be removed from their post at the Earliest Electoral Opportunity.
I challenge you to defy the Acts of the Federal Government bureau rats and Politicians, get OFF the Couch and get Law Abiding Representation into ALL LEVELS of GOVERNMENT.
These are NOT the Bill of Needs, however; under the democratic tyranny WE THE PEOPLE currently endure - EACH AND EVERY BULLET POINT has been vacated, excepted, virtually repealed by ScoffLaw Temporary Politicians.

2nd A Most Important RIGHT, Learning Opportunity
It's NOT about Hunting, and even DEFENSE is defense of a Bill of Needs, not RIGHTS. So why should non-gun owners, a majority of Americans, care about maintaining the 2nd Amendment right for citizens to bear arms of any kind?
It's Always been Tyranny of Political Hacks, dedicated to being Supreme Masterminds or just plain GREED.
“The Battle of Athens, TN”
The Cantrell family had controlled the economy and politics of McMinn County, Tennessee since the 1930s. Paul Cantrell had been Sheriff from 1936 -1940 and in 1942 was elected to the State Senate. Sheriff Cantrell's chief deputy, Paul Mansfield, (having seniority) was subsequently elected to two terms as Sheriff.
In 1946, returning WWII veterans put up a popular candidate for Sheriff. On August 1, Sheriff Mansfield and 200 “deputies” stormed the post office polling place to take control of the ballot boxes wounding an objecting observer in the process. The veterans, bearing military style weapons, laid siege to the Sheriff’s office demanding return of the ballot boxes for public counting of the votes as prescribed in Tennessee Law. After exchange of gun fire and blowing open the locked doors, the veterans secured the ballot boxes thereby protecting the integrity of the election.
And this is precisely why all Americans should be concerned about protecting our right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment!
Law Abiding Citizens have been put out adequately for Pretend Public Safety and it's time to declare ENOUGH! If Congress needs a proving ground for Universal Registration, cross checking State By State for ANYTHING, let them start with Voter Registration. My State already has my name, address, Photo, Fingerprints (as a regulated Professional in Violation of 4A) and now my permission to SHARE with the other members of the Republic for which I STAND.

TyraNanny and the Assault Weapon Grab
Memo To My Congressman
Dear Congressman:
I am incredulous at the thought of Congress considering GUN LEGISLATION that will make enemies of millions of its citizens, breaching a trust long held. I urge you to stand for individual liberty and trust in the citizenry, as our Constitution affirms and clearly outlines.
I urge you with the greatest commitment to VOTE AGAINST FEINSTEIN AWB and any other legislation that purposes registration and banning of so-called "Assault Weapons." These firearms are in tens of millions of households, held by good citizens, keeping the peace, and preserving their liberty. The percentage of criminal use of these guns is infinitesimal and statistically insignificant, compared even to the number of Lives TAKEN with TAX Dollars in the hands of Planned Parenthood.
More importantly these proposed laws registering and banning this broad category of guns will have no affect on crime. As we saw in the CT massacre at Sandy Hook, criminals will steal their guns, ignore ALL laws, and in the end probably use other destructive devices to kill people (buses, cars, poisons, homemade bombs, etc).
The only effective solution to these killers is an immediate armed response, just like civilian Nick Meli in a mall in Clackamas, OR. With his Glock, he foiled a mass shooting, saved lives. An armed civilian stops these mass killings! ARMED Law Enforcement rotating through schools from RADAR SPEED TRAP DETAIL ARE THE ANSWER, NOT criminalizing millions of good Americans. That will cause much greater problems. But this isn't about guns or greater public safety, or stopping the killings, it's about people control. This feels much more ominous, and based on wait times for CBI at purchase - I am not alone in this feeling.
The fingerprinting, registration, and guaranteed future control of an owner of firearms VIOLATES the Second Amendment. Further I argue that CBI information is NOT PUBLIC, but Privately disclosed by LAW ABIDING CITIZENS and should be held as PRIVATE as HIPPA Medical information. It is a glaring manifestation of an overreaching, out of control government...the very thing which our founders feared and wished to prevent. Assaults on the 2nd Amendment will have a domino effect. Other rights are also being attacked, through bureaucrats that have usurped Congressional Power in an out of control administration. My only fear is persistent tyrannical activity could lead to civic unrest.
Current and future "assault weapons bans" will be unenforceable as well, particularly in a Capital Hill environment that can't afford to pay attention -or the Public Debt. Our Forefathers installed the 2nd Amendment to PREVENT Gun Violence and a country where in the end, only the criminals and the government will be armed. In determining the course of this country this might be your most important vote. Firmly PRESERVE GUN OWNERS RIGHTS and accept no compromise. I thank you for your support in this area; andI will watch your vote will great interest and gratefully support you in future elections for your defense of our Constitution.
Sincerely
Joe Elector

Merry Christmas Troops, A Poem
A Christmas Poem
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love, I would sleep,
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack; brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts,
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light.
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before.
My Gramps died at Pearl on a day in December."
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas Gram always remembers."
"My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures; he's sure got her smile."
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
"I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life for my sister or brother,
Who stand at the front against any and all
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside," he said, "Harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least?
Give you money," I asked, "Or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
for being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
that we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

Mulligan?
The Mailbag remains a constant source of Frustration, Education and even Entertainment, as we move fully into a Critical Election Cycle.
I hope that my fellow Patriots are inspired by the work in the #War Rooms at Breitbart.com, and that each of you engages in the Local Battle to wrest the control of the incumbent party from the STATISTS. A Mission that is arguably MORE important than deciding on the Robo-Signer in the Whitehouse.
Todays email GEM included a quote we should blast around the internet continuously until November. When the Man performs the Act KNOWING it is wrong, isn't that a Pre-medidated Hate Crime?
God Bless and God Speed,

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills.
It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally.
Leadership means that, the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Obama Dividend,Housing 2 for 1 Splits
It is NOT News to declare the jobless recovery a Failure, but in my daily efforts to earn my living some observations give me pause. Watching the Real Estate markets from a 1-4 Family Property Management perspective is providing evidence that Serious Damage to the American Dream has been inflicted by Politician and Social Engineer wonks. I wish for it to be other than Fatal, but I won't make that call here and stick with Serious. I have not performed the research to provide supporting numbers of affected households, this is a bad feeling in my stomach based on recent market observations and client encounters. The 2 for 1 Splits in Family Units ARE absorbing Real Estate inventory-albeit at enormous costs, emotional and financial.
Whether Mom stays, and Dad goes to Rent -or- House is vacated and Mom and Dad go to Rent, You have to be emotionally immersed to deny obvious logic failure in this prescription. The air May Feel different at first, but it will be a very rare case when ANYONE'S Lifestyle is improved by this maneuver. [Disclaimer: I do not condone Marriage as excuse for Abusive relationships, and such are not to be tolerated, on pain of ultimate Marital Exit Clause.]
Using local market numbers, I estimate that Renters Tax for a medium sized home to be on the order of 1/3 (33%) more expensive than owning the home. Even if both downsize, with Mom or Dad taking unequal size demotion, the Housing Costs can easily increase 2x for the two home family. Factoring in Utilities increases I calculate housing component can then represent 205% of the NEW household Budget.
Hitting Total...
On this "2 for 1 SPLIT" decision, the Winners are clearly the Investment Property Owners, which are creating Wealth for their family. Note to Suzie spreading the lie on CNBC and hat-tip Robert Kiyosaki, Owner Occupied Real Property is an Expense, NOT an investment!
This investor wealth may help save or create Handy-Man jobs, but does not produce meaningful product with the Depreciating Assets (Rental Housing), and hence yields a Net-Negative Economic Impact.
Unable to Print Dollars like the Federal Reserve does for the U.S. Treasury, the newly minted two-house Family must re-prioritize expenditures of their available Income, adjusting for the increased Housing Burden component. This is no doubt Job Killing, as discretionary spending is reduced by 25% as percentage of the Original Family Unit income. Look at the Types of Business failures in your neighborhood.
To everyone else, expect the RENTAL Market to remain on fire for 10 to 20 years...when liberal intellectuals look back on "Progress" they fail to identify the Failure or embrace hard earned credit thereof. This contribution to continued economic malaise must be reversed, purge elected officials Round -2-, November 2012
Economic Marital Strife
The root of all human (relationship) pain is "unrealistic expectations", but that is a writing for another audience. The number one cause of troubled marriages today may be the ability to cope with Financial Stress. The fears of insecurity from job loss and underemployment being compounded by a Loss of Value of the single biggest purchase -owner occupied housing- are a recipe for Irreconcilable Differences in too many families I encounter today.
Can't Afford the 1, Lets Have 2...
So we have a Family Unit, that feels it can not afford the lifestyle (and Pressures) of remaining a SINGLE family unit becoming broken in TWO.Whether Mom stays, and Dad goes to Rent -or- House is vacated and Mom and Dad go to Rent, You have to be emotionally immersed to deny obvious logic failure in this prescription. The air May Feel different at first, but it will be a very rare case when ANYONE'S Lifestyle is improved by this maneuver. [Disclaimer: I do not condone Marriage as excuse for Abusive relationships, and such are not to be tolerated, on pain of ultimate Marital Exit Clause.]
Renters Tax...
We have Bankruptcy and Under-Employed folks that can not Qualify [with a reasonably steady Job] for a Loan Modification [Rates Only even] that are Splitting households in two PLUS Paying the Renters Tax.Using local market numbers, I estimate that Renters Tax for a medium sized home to be on the order of 1/3 (33%) more expensive than owning the home. Even if both downsize, with Mom or Dad taking unequal size demotion, the Housing Costs can easily increase 2x for the two home family. Factoring in Utilities increases I calculate housing component can then represent 205% of the NEW household Budget.

My Sincere Condolences
To all of the Family's affected by this Economy that is -I argue- the result of 100yrs of Sociopolitical Engineering and Government Iniquity, including Sanctioned Ponzi's; Debilitating Regulatory regimes; Fiscal Resource Confiscation; Markets Denial of access to Public Resources, i offer my sincerest condolences. To everyone else, expect the RENTAL Market to remain on fire for 10 to 20 years...when liberal intellectuals look back on "Progress" they fail to identify the Failure or embrace hard earned credit thereof. This contribution to continued economic malaise must be reversed, purge elected officials Round -2-, November 2012
