United Conservatives of Virginia: Richmond Tax Day Tea Party - Success!

United Conservatives of Virginia: Richmond Tax Day Tea Party - Success!

A group of over 30 Americans, who reside in the Commonwealth of Virginia, hand delivered to their federal citizen representatives' Richmond offices a Petition for Redress of Grievances. A copy of the Petition can be found here…www.villagenewsonline.com/patriots.pdf The results and reactions varied by federal office. It ranged from a cordial and frank conversation about the status of our country to muffled conversations behind a bank teller window. The bottom line is Americans deserve answers and these citizen representatives were formally asked to respond in a forum that is appropriate to reach their constituents.

Here is a copy of the cover letter submitted with the petition.

LA Man Stopped and Detained For Bumper Sticker

American Vision is reporting they received a call from a Lady in Louisiana:

"We just received a call from ******* in Ball, Louisiana alerting us that her brother-in-law was stopped by small town Louisiana police and detained by the roadside for half an hour. A background check was conducted to determine whether he was a member of an “extremist” group. Why? Her brother-in-law (name not disclosed for privacy) had purchased and displayed a conservative “Don’t Tread on Me” bumper sticker on his car.

The bumper sticker is based on the famous flag designed by American Revolution era general and statesman Christopher Gadsden. The yellow flag featured a coiled diamondback rattlesnake ready to strike, with the slogan “Don’t Tread on Me!” underneath it. Benjamin Franklin helped make the rattlesnake a symbol of Americans’ reluctance to quarrel but vigilance and resolve in defense of their rights. By 1775 when Gadsden presented his flag to the commander-in-chief of the Navy, the rattlesnake was a symbol of the colonies and of their need to unite in defense of threats to their God-given and inherited rights. The flag and the bumper sticker symbolize American patriotism, the need to defend Americans’ rights, and resistance to tyranny’s threats to American liberty. Those threats included—and include—illegal taxation, profanation of Americans’ rights, and violation of the fundamental principles of American law.

The notorious Department of Homeland Security memo, which was apparently based on the infamous Missouri State Police Report that described supporters of presidential candidates Bob Barr, Ron Paul, and Chuck Baldwin as “militia”-type potential extremists and potential terrorists, is not the first effort of leftist radicals to slander their political opponents as “extremists.” Some observers have noted that similar “reports” emerged during the Clinton administration. But “liberals” and other leftists have been calling defenders of traditional American limited, constitutional government, free enterprise, and individual liberty “extremists” since at least the 1964 election.

The political left’s attempts to establish a false equivalence between genuine left wing extremists and those who oppose the left’s assault on our culture, law, and liberty is more than propaganda to fool the ignorant and manipulate public opinion. Combined with the power of government, it is an attempt to harass, intimidate, and silence all political opposition—and probably an attempt to demonize them as a prelude to governmental oppression and persecution. Keep in mind that the First Amendment states,"

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.

I think I might have to go buy some more of those stickers.

DHS Lexicon of Terrorism

From WND:

Two weeks before the U.S. Department of Homeland Security penned its controversial report warning against "right-wing extremists" in the United States, it generated a memo defining dozens of additional groups – animal rights activists, black separatists, tax protesters, even worshippers of the Norse god Odin – as potential "threats."

Though the "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" was reportedly rescinded almost immediately, Benjamin Sarlin of The Daily Beast recently obtained and published online a copy of the unclassified memo, dated March 26, 2009.

While many of the groups listed in the lexicon – such as Aryan prison gangs and neo-Nazis – may indeed be widely considered extremists, others will likely take offense at being described as a potential "threat."

For example, the memo defines the "tax resistance movement" – also referred to in the report as the tax protest movement or the tax freedom movement – as "groups or individuals who vehemently believe taxes violate their constitutional rights. Among their beliefs are that wages are not income, that paying income taxes is voluntary, and that the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allowed Congress to levy taxes on income, was not properly ratified." (yep, that pretty much describes me)

The report, however, continues in its assessment of tax protesters, asserting that members "have been known to advocate or engage in criminal activity and plot acts of violence and terrorism in an attempt to advance their extremist goals."
(emphasis mine)

and for the record, I have never advocated or engaged in criminal activity or plotted acts of violence or terrorism to advance my goals

Similarly, the lexicon concludes its definition of "black separatists" by asserting, "Such groups or individuals also may embrace radical religious beliefs. Members have been known to advocate or engage in criminal activity and plot acts of violence directed toward local law enforcement in an attempt to advance their extremist goals."

In his blog piece titled "Who You Calling an Extremist?" Sarlin writes, "Partisans leapt to decry the first DHS memo as part of a Democratic conspiracy to marginalize right wingers. But it became clear that DHS's broad descriptions of extremists were symptomatic of an ongoing agency problem that crossed ideological lines."

The Time Is NOW!!!

It looks as though we are entering a new phase on the Obama citizenship issue. It appears that a rumor has surfaced from an FBI agent that a forgery of Obama's birth certificate is under way. This would explain the 120 days requested by Obama's legal team to address an issue regarding a birth certificate, an issue any lawyer worth his salt - let alone one worth millions, himself surrounded by million-dollar lawyers - would put to rest months ago in a heartbeat by simply producing the document and using the moment to belittle his detractors - a technique not at all beneath Obama as we have seen. Paper and ink can be chemically treated to fool dating analysis, but needs a little time to settle in. Inks and papers can be carefully reproduced. Does anyone believe that a man whose ambition is to be the most powerful person on earth would be above such tactics? Can we risk indulging in the happy thought that he would not?
We must assume that this is a new, clock-driven phase we're in. Any other assumption is terribly irresponsible. Time, if half these rumors are true, is against us.
ACTION STEPS:
NOW - is the time to stop posting on message boards in anything but a clear, concise organized attempt to draw large national attention to the Obama citizenship issue.
NOW - is the time to put contact numbers and e-mails HERE for immediate dispersion.
NOW - is the time to use those numbers and e-mails. If you are worried about being identified and having your life ruined by vindictive left-wing activists - a legit concern - use *67 when you call in, which will block your name and number to the radio show or congressional office.
NOW - is the time to call Hannity and wait for 3 hours to get on, using a false topic for clearance through the call-takers and then condemn him before millions for betraying his country by not bringing this issue up with so many guests available and such news-worthiness behind it. Let him know on-air you're calling for all his listeners to turn off their radios for the day in protest and as a sign of strength. That you'll contact his sponsors and threaten to boycott his program on the radio and Fox TV.
NOW - is the time to do the same to Rush.
NOW - is the time to do the same O'Reilly.AND Savage.AND Ingraham. And local conservative stations.

NEXT:Your congressmen care about only one thing: the next primaries.
NOW - is the time to contact them - anonymously if necessary (it's legal, use *67 or separate free Yahoo e-mail accounts created for the purpose) and politely tell them you'll campaign like hell against them in the next primary, never forgetting, to your last breath if need be, if they don’t confront this issue head -on NOW.
Tell them tomorrow is too late - for their re-election.
We don’t have months to organize a tea party on this matter.
The clock may very well be running out.
There is a reason why a million-dollar lawyer consulting with million-dollar lawyers won’t turn over a document you need for a passport or your kid needs to get his drivers license. The reason isn't for the fun of it.
NOW - is the time to take pen to paper, hand to keyboard, voice to phone, and make this go viral this week, the week of May 4, 2009. The week after next may simply be too late if even half of what we’re hearing turns out to be true(that 120-day stall request by Obama's lawyers probably has a very large safety zone built into the timetable as a contingency, just in case)
NOW - is the time to do all these things.
NOW. Not tomorrow. Not in 2 hours. Put off dinner. Forget the movie, or the game, or your favorite reality show. Dinner can stay warm. Your favorite shows will be waiting for you next week.
THE TIME TO LET THOSE WITH THE BULLY PULPIT TO MILLIONS KNOW THAT IF THEY FAIL THEY WILL BE DESPISED FOR THEIR COWARDICE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES IS NOW.
Sound melodramatic? Sure, but melodrama is their trade. You're only speaking to them in the language they respect when you put it like that. Cut and paste this wherever you will. Add to it. Subtract from it. But get the word out.
If we're responsible, if we care and love this still-free country, if any of what he have heard is in fact true (there are many people still alive who remember Hitler's rein of terror - never confuse the unthinkable with the impossible), then we have no responsible choice but to err on the side of caution - and indignation, quite frankly - and assume the clock may very well be ticking, now. Time waits for no one, and don't expect an evermore-corrupt government to do you any favors.
There is no harm in doing all this if this rumor turns out to be untrue. Indeed, it simply clears up a very, very troubling, nagging issue all the faster. The question is: do you love your country enough to spend a little time on a gamble to save it in the event even half of it is in fact actually true?
Our Founding Fathers are watching you. What would you have them think?
DO IT.
NOW.
Keep this thread alive with contact info, reports on what you are doing, cut-and-paste it elsewhere and provide links here. It's time to get to the bottom of Obama's citizenship status once and for all - BEFORE he covers his tracks.
NOW
