August 1st to September 1st

Well over 50 yrs ago I knew a lady who would not buy Christmas gifts if they were made in China. Her daughter will recognize her in the following.

Did y'all see Diane Sawyer's special report? They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA.

There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they showed truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything and talked about how to find these items and the difference in price etc.

It was interesting that Diane said if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs!

I was buying food the other day at Wal Mart and on the label of the some the products it said "From China."

For example, the "Our Family" brand of the mandarin oranges says right on the can "From China."

I was shocked so far a few more cents I bought the Liberty Gold brand or the Dole since it's from California.

Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think. The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.

70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.

Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA !!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says "Made in China" or "PRC" (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.

Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.

THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans each refuse to buy just $20 of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!

Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on Aug. 1st and continue it until Sept. 1st. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.

Remember, August 1st to Sept. 1st !!!!!! START NOW.

Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted.

If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!

Pass it on, America ...

President and Chief Justice Barack H. Obama?‏

This was originally sent to me by the Liberty Counsel.

There have been many disturbing questions circulated by news sources and Internet blog sites for the past several days concerning the recent Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare’s constitutionality. Among the most concerning of those questions:

“Did President Obama directly or indirectly influence the Supreme Court’s decision?”

Our system of checks and balances has been subverted.

We know from his own statements and writings that Barack Obama believes the Supreme Court, and every other government institution for that matter, should be an agent of “change.”

In 2001, referring to Chief Justice Earl Warren’s Court of the 1950s and 1960s, Barack Obama told a WBEZ Chicago radio audience…

“But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society.

And, to that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted it in the same way that, generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties.

“It [the Constitution] says what the states can't do to you, says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf, and that hasn't shifted.”

In that revealing 2001 radio interview, Barack Obama was clearly disappointed in the lack of “change” that had been effected by past Supreme Court decisions. In it, he called redistribution of wealth “political and social justice.”

Could Barack Obama have been any more critical of our foundational charter of American liberty?

In contrast to Mr. Obama’s view, here’s a fundamental fact about the Constitution of the United States of America:

The Constitution was written to protect citizens FROM government while narrowly defining the federal government’s limited powers and spreading its authority among three distinct branches.

In fact, the Founders gave us a form of government designed to protect the people’s freedom from tyrannical despots intent on overpowering their liberties!

If I may break into all of this right quick.... I think it's SO sad and upsetting that what our founding fathers fought against, Obama and his supporters are fighting to re-establish. And that is government that exists not to serve the people, but to control the people. They fought King George to free themselves from the opression of government with unlimited power. They also set us up with a form of government where three branches exist so that no one branch has more power than the other; a.k.a. goverment with checks and balances. Now, Obama's supporters are more than happy to allow him to do basically what ever he wants so long as they are taken care of. Of course, he has established that he's more than willing to subvert the other two branches in order to advance his agenda of increased government control.

Ok... getting off my soap box and back to this posting.

Barack Obama’s intimidating, condescending style of governance.

As you may recall, President Obama on several occasions has used his “bully pulpit” to chide and intimidate Supreme Court Justices.

In his 2010 State of the Union Address, he literally dressed down the court justices in front of Congress and the nation.

In the months leading up to the Court’s ObamaCare decision, he virtually threatened the Court if they were to strike the law down.

Just this week, in a campaign event in Maumee, Ohio, the President forcefully made this telling statement in his address…

“The law I passed is here to stay.”

Wait a minute, Mr. President! In America, the Legislature passes laws, not the Executive Branch!

However it came to be that the absurdly misnamed “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” was passed and declared to be constitutional, it remains an UNJUST LAW!
