California: A Constitution Free Zone

Take a good hard look folks… if Obama is re-elected the California Nanny State will be the mirror America will be looking into… if things go well.  Greece and expansion of Sharia and International Law over the Constitution implemented through the United Nations is the other option!

UPI - California Governor Jerry Brown signed two laws protecting the "privacy" of children and vetoed one protecting the privacy of adults.

More Nanny State Insanity…

Look up insanity in the dictionary and a photo of California and that State’s Governor, Jerry Brown, are probably next to the word. If not, they should be, for there is no other explanation for two recently passed laws in that State.

The youngest legal age for using a tanning bed has been raised from 14 to 18, and children 12 years or older can obtain a vaccination “treatment” for sexually transmitted diseases without parental consent. This is nanny-state insanity.

And while Brown preens over protecting the “privacy” of children, he vetoed away the right of privacy for adults who are arrested by police. He struck down legislation that would have required law enforcement to obtain a warrant before searching the cellphones of arrestees.

ILLEGAL ALIEN TRI-FECTA IN CALIFORNIA!

Gov. Brown just signed a bill to ban cities and counties from mandating E-Verify for their contractors and businesses.  Despite the Supreme Court ruling in August that state and local governments can mandate E-Verify to prevent taxpayer dollars from going to illegal aliens, this rogue, corrupt governor signed AB 1236 anyway.  He is officially working with organized crime to destroy the rule of law in California.

Time for a Congressional Investigation to determine just who Jerry Brown is working for.   Obviously with the 3 illegal alien bills he signed this weekend, he is beholden to foreign (Mexico) special interests.

Dozens of cities and counties in CA have been using E-Verify with no problems, except that illegal aliens are no longer being hired.  Gov. Brown decided to side with the criminals again.

A Constitution Free Zone – Tea Party Nation

If you ever wonder why the framers of the Constitution and our founding fathers thought the Bill of Rights was so important to the Constitution, you need to look no further than the liberal politicians in the State of California.

California’s left wing government thinks there is a constitutional right for homosexuals to marry but you cannot have a gun in California.  In California, the authorities try to restrict speech based on the fact that they do not like it.

I have read the Constitution.  No matter where you fall on the issue of gay marriage, something can be said with absolute certainty.   The Constitution protects free speech.  The Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms.  The Constitution is absolutely silent on the issue of gay marriage, not to mention marriage at all.

Another nail has been driven into the coffin containing Constitutional rights in California.  California has just enacted a law that bans the open carrying of unloaded handguns and registration of long guns.

California has banned the open carry of loaded handguns, except in a few exceptions and California has made it very difficult to obtain a concealed carry permit.  In fact, one of the requirements to get a concealed carry permit in California is that you must be a brain dead celebrity who rants about the horrifying fact that some people actually own guns.

Our founding fathers knew a couple of things.  First, an armed populace is a great deterrent against tyranny, invasion and bad behavior.  

Leftists scream about how dangerous guns are.  They scream that if we allow mere citizens to carry guns, there will be bloodbaths.  If we let mere citizens carry weapons, there will be shootouts in the streets.

However, as with all liberal hysteria, those tirades are long on silly emotional screaming and very short on facts.  A majority of states allow either open carry or as I like to call it, “Constitutional carry” or concealed carry.

Not only are the bodies not piling up in these states, these are also the states that have the lowest crime rates.  Criminals may be lazy but are not totally stupid.  They look for the easiest target and certainly do not want to mix it up with someone who is carrying a gun and probably knows how to use it.

While the left screams about the myth of how dangerous guns are, they are amazingly silent on something else.   Almost every week, we hear stories about people who legally own and carry firearms.  Not only are they not committing crimes, they are stopping crimes.

Interestingly enough in Chicago and DC, after handgun bans were struck down, crime dropped!

Compare that to what happened in Britain, Ireland and Australia.  When they banned guns, their crime rates went through the roof. 

As California works to further ban guns, look for crime to continue to rise in the land of fruits and nuts.  Hopefully, the Supreme Court will eventually reverse that decision and impose some sanity on California.

In the meanwhile, Jerry Brown and company are proving the truth of the statement that our country was designed by geniuses and run by morons.

California is guilty of breeching the Constitution.

California Bans Open Carry of Handguns  -  Mexican Mafia celebrates!!

He also signed two other anti-gun bills including regulating long gun sales (AB 800).  He also signed SB 819.

He vetoed one gun bill only because the issue is already tied up in the courts.

   I guess Gloria Allred is proud. She was perhaps a singular figure in Brow’s win. We can’t call it a victory, as that implies it was desirable. His actions to remove citizens rights is incomprehensible, yet he showed his concern for all by upping the age for mirrored tanning. That tanning was such a social problem! Gloria, you can’t be so stupid as to believe this is what California needs as governor. Then again, attorney’s seldom care about things that affect others, unless it enriches them personally.

     I am amazed at how everyone blames Jerry Brown for the state of affairs in California…. It is not “jerry’s fault) it is the FAULT of the Left Media and the air heads of California (whose brains have been baked by the sun) that are at fault…. They hate to raise taxes but love freebies… they hate the unemployment but support illegals in their state ( that also begs for Federal Bail out… that is OUR tax money going to support those that are too lazy and stupid to take care of their own problems) The State of California is a cancer to the rest of the nation….. Maybe a frontal labotomy would really clear their heads….

Obama adds 78,000 new employees to government payroll

2009 budget grows to a deficit of $1.8 trillion, more than four times higher than last year’s all time high and 50% of total budget

With the national debt already out of control, President Obama has added 78,000 new government jobs to the federal payroll since he took office. Obama’s increase in the number of government employees will add hundreds of millions of dollars to our debt. If history is any measure, these jobs will never be eliminated. They will simply add to the mountains of debt we are leaving our grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Government spending is filled with pork earmarks like this: The National Institutes of Health will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job.

Obama and Congress continue to spend money the government doesn’t have. The deficit for the current year will be $1.8 trillion, 50% of the total budget. In order to pay interest on the debt, the government will have to cut spending, raise taxes, print more paper money or borrow from another country like China, which already holds billions of U.S. debt. With no end of spending in sight, some estimates project that our national debt could reach $8 trillion by the year 2014.

Obama and liberals in Congress are taking us down the road to socialism, seizing control of key banks, insurance companies, the automobile industry, etc. They are currently working on a government funded national health care program which is expected to cost roughly $2 trillion while rationing services.

Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who:

• vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it?
• are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying?
• consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected?
• want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?
• punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?
• admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?
• run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?
• want government controlled health care?
• want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?
• refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?
• appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department?
• want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?
• want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels?
• want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts?
• take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget?

If so, help organize and/or participate in a Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party in your community on July 4. You choose the time and the location. Use the registration form to the right.

Big Hollywood Crew Joins Tea Party Protest

Andrew Breitbart Speaks at Santa Ana Tea Party

I’ve just come back from the Orange County Tea Party where Big Hollywood contributors Gary Graham, Orson Bean and I addressed the crowd.  It was a breathtaking experience with upwards of 2,000 people in attendance who were, much to the media’s disappointment, civil and and well behaved. This was the ultimate middle-class-Costco-shopper protest…not the work of wealthy millionaires like scaredy-cat Nancy Pelosi would like you to think.  There were no scary skeleton costumes, no Subcomandante Marcos banana-republic-revolutionary vibe, just a diverse crowd of everyday Americans, Democrats and Republicans, gathered to push back an arrogant and increasingly oppressive government.

Yet CNN Correspondent Susan Roesgen (a reporter, not a commentator), came into the Chicago rally with a clear agenda to use code words to harass and harangue peaceful protestors:

What a pathetic display. Susan Roesgen is the devil and if she’s not fired for her mean-spirited display, CNN deserves to fall deeper than 4th place in the cable news rating.

The subtext of my speech–which we intend to post here once we have the video–was that the media is the problem because they ignore and marginalize these tea parties and those Americans who have made them such a success, and I can offer no better evidence than that video of Susan Roesgen, which I saw afterward.

Three short months ago “dissent is patriotic” was the rallying cry of the media and the left.  Now they’re the enforcers of government mandated conformity.  Pathetic.

Tea Party Movement Update - Middle America Reaches Tall… Mainstream Media Falls Short

The attendance numbers for the Anti-Tax Tea Parties are in…  800,000 on the high end, 600,000 on the conservative side.

Some of the larger Tea Parties:

--  20,000 in Atlanta, GA

--  16,200 in San Antonio, TX

-- 12,500 at City Hall in New York City – one of 27 Tea Parties in New York

--   6,000 on Broadway in New York City

-- 10,000 in Sacramento, CA

-- 10,000 in Overland Park, KS

--   7,500 in Dayton, OH

--   7,000 in Nashville, TN

--   5,000 in Dallas, TX

--   5,000 in St. Louis, MO

--   5,000 in Santa Ana, CA

--   4,000 in Chicago

The Attendees were:

Not fringe Republicans as the mainstream media tried to paint these events.

They were (and still are) Disappointed Democrats, Moderates from both parties, Reagan conservatives, Republicans of all types, Libertarians, Fiscal conservatives, Advocates of a New Third Party, all: races, religions, economic groups, men, women, kids, gays, Straight people, even some Hollywood Heavy-Weights took a bus up to the Sacramento California Tea Party who were standing up for Common sense, not a democratic or republican issue, and for the true values of capitalism.  They were tired of big government, of both parties, ignoring them:  the Bush Administration, the Obama Administration, the present liberal Democratic Congress and Republican Politicians who have not fought for them.

And it this Tea Party Movement all about??

• It’s About Forgotten Man and Woman  - Middle America
• It's about the idea that we're all socialists now.
• It's about the idea that the government can force companies, banks and states to take money and the strings that are attached to it, that they didn't want.
• It's about power — too much power going to federal government.
• It's about corruption — too much corruption, in both parties.
• It's about the rule of law — that no one is above the law: if you're here legally or illegally, it applies-never too rich or powerful.
• It's about if you write the tax code you should pay your taxes.
• It's about the Republic, not mob rule.
• It's about the concept of free speech — we've been called insane, lunatics and worse, just for speaking out.
• It's about the years of lies from both parties — a Republican Party that claims to be for small government but gives us Medicare Part D that's got $17 trillion in unfunded liabilities.
• It's about hypocrisy — both parties claim to be the most ethical, but we get corruption and not one damn person in Washington to speak out against it.
• It's about the media that gets into bed with one party and has moved so far left that it can't even begin to see we're not extremists, we're moms and dads who just want to have a Republic for our children; but they can't see it.

And the proof of the mainstream media missing the boat and backing only one party was the lack of coverage of the Grassroots Movement.  They missed the meaning.  They missed that fact that it was the awakening of the Forgotten American who is sick and tired of being sick and tired!  Instead of paying attention and reporting the ‘news’ they tried to change the news in a political conspiracy started by Fox News, who just honest and smart enough to realize what the Tea Party Movement really represents.

It’s about:

• Bush and Obama spend or put us on the hook for $12.8 trillion, but I'm the extremist?
• Cap and Trade without any plan on who pays the taxes or where the money goes, but I'm the extremist?
• States are looking to apply retroactive taxes — that's like changing the rules in the middle of the game — but I'm the extremist?
• Vilifying AIG executives, without any law being broken, just for accepting money they were owed, but I'm the extremist?
• Bush and Obama have taken over and want to take over banks, car manufacturers and insurance companies, but I'm the extremist?
• The politicians in the House and Senate stuff $20 billion in pork and earmarks into spending bills when we have to beg the Chinese to loan us that money, and I'm the extremist?
• A Supreme Court justice and Harold Koh, who will help run the State Department, talk about trans-nationalism and by definition a diminished role for the Constitution, but I'm the extremist?
• Politicians openly talk of the Fairness Doctrine — or its ugly twin, "localism" — and curtailing my free speech, but I'm the extremist?
• Unions and big labor politicians want to take away the right to a secret ballot, but I'm the extremist?

The Government’s Answer was to call these people who were just standing up for their rights as possible right-wing radicalized extremists.

TEA BAG UPDATE: More than 1 million tea bags delivered to Washington, D.C. near White House.

Fox News televised the partial unloading of more than 1 million of our tea bags at Lafayette Park in Washington, D.C. near the White House on April 15th (note background of photo)! Unfortunately, representatives of The Patriot Depot and Reagan.org were told by National Park Services officials to reload the truck. Why? Even though the original protest permit was approved, our tea bag team was conveniently told that it was not the "proper" permit. This is an absolute outrage and a denial of our First Amendment rights, which read:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

 But our tea bags are not leaving the Capitol City any time soon! We've just set up a towering display of more than 1 million tea bags at a new location in Washington, D.C.—the headquarters of a free market think tank, The Competitive Enterprise Institute. Your tea bags are sending a loud and clear message: Enough is Enough!

FREE BUMPER STICKER OFFER...

Even though more than 1 million tea bags are already on display in Washington, D.C., several hundred thousand remain unsponsored. You can still help us offset our protest expenses by sponsoring a tea bag for just one dollar! Sponsor 25 tea bags for just $20 and we'll send you a FREE 2-pack of our best-selling bumper sticker, I'LL KEEP MY GUNS, FREEDOM, & MONEY, YOU CAN KEEP THE "CHANGE!" We have big plans for these tea bags, so stay tuned!

Tea Parties will continue around the country this year (including July 4th and the anniversary of the original Tea Party on December 16th ), so we're still offering FREE T.E.A. Bumper sticker (87 cents shipping and handling). Also check out our yard signs, picket signs, T-shirts, and more!

Pics from the Santa Ana Tea Party

It was a great experience.  Thousands of fellow dissidents expressing their free speech rights, gathering and protesting against the wasteful spending and irresponsible acts of our government, pushing aside the Constitution and ushering in a new era of big government, that which we’ve never seen before in this country.  I would estimate between 4,000 and 5,000 total people that showed up.  IT was a great site to see.  No disruptions by ACORN, no interruptions by Code Pink, no violence like the G-20 Protesters, just pure, simple, honest hard working Americans, taking time out of their day to participate ina  movement that is growing rapidly.  These folks are expressing their disgust at politicians all around the country on both sides of the aisle.

Here are some pics of the event:

Taxes and Tea Parties: America Gets Ready to Rumble

This week, Americans will not only be rushing to the post office to pay their taxes, but they will also be sending a message to Barack Obama and the left-wing elite in Washington that enough is enough. April 15th marks the day that people from across the country will gather for the Tax Day Tea Parties -- a protest movement against the out of control spending in Washington and the increased taxes that will pay for it.

The DC Tea Party Protest

Despite the fact that numerous tea party protests have already occurred, resulting in tens of thousands of protesters taking to the streets, the media have provide little coverage. As usual, if there is a voice, op-ed, or movement that doesn't trumpet the socialist agenda of Barack Obama, it will be glossed over by the media. Thus, our mission is simple... It is up to all of us to send a message that is too loud to ignore.

GOPUSA is proud to be one of the sponsors of the Tax Day Tea Party protests. As noted by Eric Odom, Chairman of the DontGo Movement and one of the primary organizers of the protests, "Building on the free market ideas of our founding fathers, and embracing the passion they shared to bring them to light, the Nationwide Tea Party Movement is giving voice to tens of thousands of Americans."

Added Stacy Mott, President of Smart Girl Politics, "Average Americans do not support mortgaging away our children’s futures, and the time to speak out against it is now."

As noted on TaxDayTeaParty.com:

In particular, we believe the government is far too big already. Yes, this includes the previous administrations excess spending and the idea of bailouts to banks. The plans of the current administration are to make it even bigger. We resent the intrusion and control of government into our lives and liberties. This is a key factor prompting protests.

Take note elected officials regardless if you wear a Democrat or Republican label. The message is clear! Stop the spending. Stop the additional taxation, especially the hidden taxes in the form of increased prices passed on by industries overwhelmed by government meddling and targeted taxing.

Protests have already been held across the country leading up to the tax day protests. Despite the large turnouts, the media has not only ignored the crowds and the message they are delivering, the media are actually mocking the movement.

As noted by Jeff Poor at NewsBusters.com, Howard Kurtz doesn't take the other news networks to task for not covering the tea parties, but rather chides Fox News for too much coverage. Give me a break.

The tea party movement may hopefully become too big for even CNN or MSNBC to ignore. It has already created an online sales boom.

Online retailers are recording hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales of mugs and sweats, buttons and bumper stickers, with much of the proceeds going toward organizing the tax-day tea parties, takeoffs on the original 1773 protest of British taxes.

There are so many tax day tea parties being planned that is impossible to list them all here. Please check TaxDayTeaParty.com for a complete listing. However, many states have set up their own tea party web sites, and you can find some of them here:

Arizona Tea Parties, Delaware Tea Party, Indiana Tea Party, Minnesota Tea Parties, New Jersey Tea Party, Ohio Tea Party, Oregon Tea Party, Tennessee Tea Party, and Texas Tea Party

Washington is spending too much and taxing too much. The tea party movement is an opportunity for average Americans to let their voices be heard. We don't have the power of the media or the influence of a George Soros, but we do have numbers, and we have a passion and love for our country. Enough is enough.
