"Seeds of Freedom" meeting of May 23...Notes

Sunday, May 23rd, the "Seeds of Freedom" Group met at Nero's in Green Hills.There were 22 members, guests and candidates present.

Chuck Self reported the finances, and we are OK...no assesments so far.

Chuck reported on the initiative we plan to mount, a serious phone blitz to benefit "our" selected conservative candidates. He will obtain the names and numbers of people who at some time, have voted conservatively. Our job will be to gently remind them that the liberals are driving the bus over the cliff, and that thier vote can literally help to salvage the Republic.

We also discussed the need for trained poll workers from our Group.More later on that at the next meeting.

The Group's speaker was Dr. Terry Sawyer, who spoke on his epiphany to conservatism. A very educational and moving vignette, appreciated by all, and perhaps, helpful to the attending candidates.

The candidates who spoke were: David Hall, a General Contractor, running to secure the GOP nomination to run against Jim Cooper. Jeff Hartlein, an educator, also vying for the chance to run against Cooper, spoke to the group.

Hall, Hartlein, and Spivak are competing against each other
in the Primary, in an 8 person GOP field, to run against the Lying Jim Cooper.

James Chesser, Major in the TNSG, and an attorney, running to secure the GOP nomination to run against Tn. Senator Henry spoke. Chesser is running against Dr.Steven Dickerson in the GOP primary.

All candidates hae a message that was well recieved. All are family men with family values. Hall, Hartlein, Spivac , all were deemed far better that Cooper.

James Chesser spoke with passion about his desire to improve Tennesee from the botom up, and we all agreed.

Notable in the talks, was the lack of rancor BETWEEN the competing candidates, a great sign that all of our eyes are indeed on the ball to get back our country!

We discussed a media boycott I'd like to start for the 1st week of July. MSM print and broadcast and periodical...e.g. Newsweek, NYT. Go face book, you-tube viral, hurt the liars and half- truthers. They were complicit in getting BO elected, and still lie, calling the tea-partiers racists and libertarians. The Times casually "outed" a plan by the DOD to gather(spy) information to help in the war on terror just this week.

We discussed getting a group to spend a long weekwnd in Arizona the last weekwnd in July. Tucson, maybe the Chihuahua mountains..drinks by the pool, hiking, golf, helping the Arizona economy!

I'm thinking about bumper art saying "Socialism Destroys"
Ambition/Spirit/Self-Reliance
VOTE REPUBLICAN
Would you show it?

Next Meeting 20 June, 5:00 Nero's

Pray for the Republic!

Reasons to support Mike Turner for Re-election

State representative Mike Turner is running against Charles Williamson for a 3rd or th term as Tennesee representative in the 51st Congressional District of Tennessee. Our "Seeds of Freedom" group does not care for his liberal agenda, and plan to work for his defeat in November. We like his conservative opponent, Charles Williamson, a(very small)conservative businessman.

In a spirit of fairness, I feel that I should enumerate, for those readers who may have Socialist-Progressive leanings, why they may wish to re-elect Mr. Turner...I am virtually certain that the balanced press(Tennessean) we have here will also present these issues, so if this is redundant, I apologise.

Here a a few of Mr.Turner's choices:

1.Supported Drivers licenses for illegal immigrants.
2.State income tax is a GOOD idea.
3.Saw fit to label anyone who opposed Obama's health care bill "RACIST".
4.Voted on May 24 AGAINST a resolution by the Tennessee House to support
Arizona's bill to protect thier state from illegal aliens.(The resolution PASSED
by a better than 2:1 vote). He said he did'nt want the state involved.
5.Being a UNION GUY,you can probably count on him if the Card Check issue becomes
a state issue.
6.I admit to guessing now, but we can probably expect him to LOVE some form of
Energy Tax.

I'm not too much enamored by Mr. Turner, but those who think they may like his politics deserve to get a snapshot of the above. It's only fair!

Pray for the Republic

Subtle Similarities and Truths

In the "for what it's worth" department, one of Obama's minions on a Sunday morning talk show, a, writer for Mewsweek, slipped and said, I think in response to a question regarding why so many voters seemed so angry, that the American voter was "not ready" (yet) for Obama's changes.

My mind drifted back to younger days in the back seat of my "55 Chevy, when that "not ready yet" question was on my mind!

Only this time, we ain't gettin' kissed!!!

A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words!




















This is accurate...

Media Bullies by Avagadro602

Thanks to a new contributor,James Alamo, for a starkly powerful indictment of the MSM with his blog on several facts the media conveniently omitted during Obama's mysterious career ascent.Great job, J.A. we can't wait to see more!

Regarding the MSM, they are showing themselves as willing conspirators as the Obama administration steers the great vessel of our Republic UNDER the waves.The omissions and misinformation are so glareing, we can no longer chalk thier behavior up to naivete'. We are seeing COLLUSION,and consiracy, pure and evil! Are they consciously aware of this, or just "useful Idiots"? It does not matter, they must be stopped!

I propose an orchestrated event, perhaps on July 4th, at which time all disgusted conservatives cancel thier NY Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, LA Times, Tennessean, etc.,etc. Turn off CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, CSNBC. All the media that can say nothing good about conservatives, tea-partiers, patriots, and nothing bad about the progressives, the terrorists, and "The One".I should think that it could be done via the internet, planned by someone more cyber-savvy than me.

Hitting back can feel real good. Think of these media as bullies, which, really, is what they are! Are YOU tired of taking this abuse? Would'nt you enjoy giving them a financial bloody nose?

Pray for the Republic

B.O.'s law license or lack there of...

I didn't check the facts but it certainly warrants a review. Why do you think the mainstream media has passed this over?

from an email...

Ed. note: This is legit. I checked it out myself at https://www.iardc.org Stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It’s the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois ; and they are very strict and mean as hell. (Talk about irony!) Even I, at the advanced age of almost 65, maintain (at the cost of approximately $600/year) my law license that I worked so hard and long to earn.]





Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and US President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During State Of The Union (SOTU) Address.




Consider this:

1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a “lawyer”. He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.

2. Michelle Obama “voluntarily surrendered” her law license in 1993.

3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady — who don’t actually have licenses to practice law. Facts.

Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/

4. A senior lecturer is one thing... A fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago .

5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) “served as a professor” in the law school—but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.

6. “He did not hold the title of professor of law,” said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law .

Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html

7. The former Constitutional senior lecturer (Obama) cited the US Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence … not the Constitution.

8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/

9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: “We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….

10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.


11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech???



When you are a phoney it's hard to keep facts straight.

Taxes

I have been swamped for the past six weeks and am just getting to this post. I originally wrote it on my Blackberry. It brings up the thought that forcing the republic to hire a professional is unconstitutional.

I have been busy over the past couple of weeks. I took a whole day last Saturday. It was a beautiful day outside. I spent it inside working on my taxes. I also had to take off from work on the 14th to finish the job. I’m not happy. Here is why: I was once an accountant/financial analyst. I was paid to work in accounting. I was very comfortable in finance and an adequate accountant. I was simply bored to near death. This experience exposed me to the tax system. I am familiar with and can follow most accounting speak. I would venture to say that I may have a better understanding of accounting than 90 percent of the population.

My first point is this: I am still nervous and apprehensive about filing my own taxes. There are over 70,000 pages of tax code and it is technical data.
Next: to avoid paying more than my share I have to know current tax law. I am now in sales and work from the home as does my wife. We are able to reduce our taxable income by listing our home office expenses and associated business expenses. This takes tax software a computer to run it on and a basic knowledge of accounting. Accordingly most people with income are required to file. However, just because you file does not mean that you pay taxes. For almost 50 percent of the population there are no federal income taxes. If the non paying person files they may still receive a check for an income tax credit. This is a redistribution of wealth. In essence for me to reduce my taxes while ensuring that I pay the correct amount I either have to know the current tax law (part of the 70,000+ pages) or hire someone who does. To comply with the law I have to expend resources (a lot of time) or pay a tax professional. This, in my opinion, is unconstitutional. I am not against paying taxes at all. I believe we need to pay for the proper protection and maintenance of the country.

What is the solution? The current tax system needs to be overhauled to make it easier to comply. I imagine this will also increase participation; ie tax receipts. A flat or non-progressive tax rate would be an idea. Perhaps a consumption based tax would get the results this country needs. This would take administrative burden from the payer. Think about the amount of productive hours this would free.
