Did you know the Tea Party is Over???
Get ready for lot's of this. The Progressives are getting desparate as America awakens to their plans.
"Our Mission:
To prevent the Tea Party's dangerous ideas from gaining legislative traction. Our Strategy is simple. This movement is a fad. Some of their ideas include the belief that
programs like Social Security and Medicare are socialistic and should never have been created in
the first place and that President Obama is a Socialist. Other ideas include undermining the legitimacy of the federal government in favor of a radical rightwing form of state's rights. We
need to prevent their dangerous ideas from gaining a legislative foothold. So our strategy is to
spread the truth about their dangerous ideas and prevent their policies from taking root in America."

Florida Groups been promoting the
Florida Health Care Freedom Act (HJR37) sponsored by Sen. Carey Baker and
Rep. Scott Plakon. Even though our bill currently has over 42 House sponsors we are not on the agenda for a
committee hearing. Committees will soon be meeting. I would like to ask you to please phone or email the Chairman
of the Health Care Regulation Policy Committee, Nicholas "Nick" Thompson, District 73, (Fort Myers) and ask that HJR37 be heard in committee.
We do not want to wait until March.
The Florida Health Care Freedom Act allows a vote on an amendment to the Florida Constitution
that says any "law or rule shall not compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in
any health care system," and specifies people and employers can't be fined for not buying insurance.
This bill does not ban federal programs such as Medicare and Medicaid in our state; it simply focuses on restricting
the federal government from forcing Americans to participate in an insurance policy, public or private.
You have all done a remarkable job of getting this legislation this far, but please take the time to contact Chairman
Thompson and ask to schedule a hearing in his committee. By acting now the Florida Health Care Freedom Act will
become one of the first bills out of committee. We can use this momentum to further our goals of sovereignty for Florida.

Response to Liberal bias in the News-Journal
by, Ed Conner of Volusia Tax Reform
Community Voices
I thought I must be seeing things when reading the Tristam headline "Americans fear Losing affluence after
Decades of Dole". Perhaps,at last, we have a convert outside of Massachusetts who finally gets free market, small
government principles. A Keynsian converted to Friedmanism (Not Thomas but Milton). But alas my hopes were
shattered as Mr Tristam immediately launches into another Lewis Carroll logic fantasyland that only the ultra liberal can concoct.
According to Tristam the President enjoys relatively high approval ratings among the unemployed because of
expanded unemployment benefits, health care benefits and mortgage adjustments. The only thing standing between
America and renewed prosperity is the miserly rich who refuse to share their wealth over the imagined fear of crushing tax burdens. We are the greediest generation.
In reality it isn't the National character that has diminished as he claims, but the National treasury.
The greatest Stimulus package is a job, not continued dependence on bailouts. Jobs won't return until there is less
uncertainty over frightening deficits, monetizing of debt and complete tax chaos unleashed by a Washington obsessed
with lower priority issues like Cap and Trade and Gitmo. The Alternative Minimum Tax this year will affect incomes all
the way down to $75,000/yr. You may recall, this was the tax that was implemented to affect only the top 100 incomes
in America but never indexed for inflation. Tax credits for first time homebuyers disappeared on Jan1 as did the tax
deduction for college tuition and for business to write off R & D and accelerated depreciation. The estate tax is in
complete disarray at this point thanks to being ignored by an administration bent on committing ritual seppuku over
health reform. The vaunted claim of no tax increases for anyone making less than $250,000/yr seems to be forgotten in the cacophony of sound bites clogging the airways.
We once lived in Dubai where virtually every native born was offered lifetime employment, pension, education and
housing courtesy of the Government. In short, the Pierre in Wonderland dream world. One problem. After growing to
a population size of just over 200,000 in 1998 and even with all the natural resource wealth, they found it difficult to
sustain without more revenue from business and user fees for basic utilities.
They found what we've always known. Someone besides Government has to pay into the system. We're often
deluded by the fact that Government services count toward GDP growth, but this shows the fallacy of the statistic. If
GDP meant anything we'd all go to work for the government and our GDP would soar to the heavens. You can't pay
out ten dollars, get four back in taxes and expect the game to go on unless someone outside the ring pays the other
six. Tristam quotes Oliver Wendell Homes famous "Taxes are the price we pay for Civilization". Well dying is the
price we pay for living, but this is no reason to commit suicide.
Highlighting the Great Society as a symbol of success is laughable when the Greatest Society resulted in the
1982-99 growth in Personal Income as a result of Reagan tax cuts and Clinton Welfare to Work legislation.
The dole Tristam refers to is not the correct one, but one he imagines being handed out to Big Business. The present
administration is , indeed handing out billions to big business at the expense of real job creators and the middle class
who will never find work from businesses that have folded up or moved to friendlier tax climates.
It's ironic that Liberals are touted as champions of the underprivileged when they continue to curry favor with Big
Unions, Big Pharma, Big Finance. Where is his outrage over the heads of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac receiving $3
to $6 million compensation packages for running nationalized divisions of the Federal Government normally operated by GS-18 level people making $170,000/yr at a maximum.
The fallacies of liberal logic continue to be in the forefront of our national discourse. Ed Connor
ASCENDANT CHILE JOINS OECD: A TRIUMPH OF LIBERTY
On January 11, Chile became the first South American country to join the Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD). With its accession to the OECD, which is effectively the club of the
world's 30 developed nations, Chile has laid down an important milestone for anyone who cares about growth
and freedom, says Ryan Streeter, a Senior Fellow with the London-based Legatum Institute.
Chile was experimental like no other country when it comes to economic liberalization, and it has benefited as a result, says Steeter:
*
The legendary "Chicago boys," a group of 30 Chileans who studied under economist Milton
Friedman at the University of Chicago, spent more than a decade in the 1970s and '80s liberalizing
trade, deregulating markets, de-politicizing the economy and implementing a host of other free-market reforms.
* Chile's resulting positive economic trajectory over the past several decades is a big part of why the OECD has admitted the nation.
By 2004, Chile had returned to the top rating in the Freedom House's index of political and civil liberties after its
recovery from the long and dark years under Pinochet, says Streeter:
* Before its worst trials began a generation ago, Chile enjoyed a fairly durable democracy, which then went
through a terrible trial; but the country recovered the best of its past and began running ahead of its neighbors.
* In the Legatum Institute's Prosperity Index, Chile tops the list of South America's largest countries (those with
populations over 10 million), buoyed by its high scores in governance, safety and security, and the contribution of its policies to economic growth.
* Together with its economic reforms, Chile has taken democratic governance seriously, creating an
environment in which economic transactions are depoliticized, the rule of law is effective, and citizens are safe and free to choose their path.
Today, Chile stands as a clear reminder of the underpinnings of growth and progress to which many in the West
have grown so accustomed that they may likely not recognize them anymore, says Streeter.

Volusia 912 Causes Stir at Republican Executive Committee Meeting
On January 9, 2010, the first meeting held by the Republican Executive Committee of Volusia
County, Florida for this year, was completely overwhelmed by the presence of the 912 Project.
Since Volusia 912's inception in March of 2009, inroads to political power have been planned and executed.
In an historic moment, Tony Ledbetter, member of the Volusia 912 and a Republican Executive Committee member, brought forth a motion for new business, but preceded his motion with the
question "How many in this room are 912ers?" A resounding majority of the approximately 70
people in the room raised their hands! Even I was completely awestruck. It was truly a moment for all of us to be proud and to understand the significance of our power.
The path to bringing forth principled candidates and forming an army of foot soldiers for the precinct
battles ahead, is well on its way. We will work within the party, but on our terms.
My congratulations goes out to all our members for the dedication and perseverance you have displayed throughout 2009. Americas rising sun is coming in 2010!
We the People, shall be the special interest in the halls of Congress!
Your humble patriot and fellow 912er,
Ray Sanchez The Florida 912 Project
www.volusia912.org
Letter from Ray: 1.05.10
Dear 912ers -
As we embark on 2010, I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my words of encouragement and vision for the road ahead.
However, before I can put those words forth, I must acknowledge a few of the realities we're facing.
America has awakened to the deception, corruption and odious legislation in government. Our focus has been on
Federal government, but we recognize this infection is not limited to Washington. Unfortunately, it lives and breathes
in the halls of our State Legislature and County offices as well. This is not an easy fix, and the work ahead seems
daunting. The road is long, but our mission clear. We will brick by brick, restore our Republic to it's rightful place.
Volusia 912 is dedicated to cleaning house in every part of government, but, for the time being, we realize the
urgency of overturning the reckless and destructive Congress we now have. We will make sure to put forth, or back,
viable candidates. We have been working closely with groups all throughout our State to make this a reality. We
have a great model to work with, but need boots on the ground for raising awareness and votes at the precinct level.
We will work hard to those ends, so nothing is left to chance come November. In meetings ahead, Volusia 912 will show you how.
My commitment will not waver, and I'm asking the same of all our members. Study hard, fight even harder. Find your
voice and gain influence with friends, family and co-workers. Wake them up!
We have a Herculean task ahead of us, but I am convinced a new America is rising. If any of you have read the story
of Benjamin Franklin upon leaving the first Constitutional Convention, as he gazed at the gilded artwork at the seat of
the presiding chair, he commented on whether the sun upon the relief was rising or setting. After witnessing what
had transpired within those halls, he felt confident that the sun was rising for America. I see the same sun now, and
know there are true Americans who understand freedom and what is at stake at this moment in history.
Please join us in our effort. Come to our meetings, rallies, events and seminars. We will give you the tools, but need
your ideas, hard work and commitment for our success. If you ever wanted to make a difference and be a part of
something special, this is it. Be a part of history and the American Comeback in 2010. Let's stop waiting for
someone else to take care of it. Future generations need us to be those Americans.
God Bless and Happy New Year!
Ray Sanchez

From fellow 9.12 patriots in FL: Florida Patriotic Resistance
A message to all members of Florida Patriotic Resistance
Here is where co-sponsorship stands on the three State Sovereignty bills that are covered at www.FLFreedom.org
FL 10th Amendment Resolution - House HM19 / Senate SM 96 House Sponsors - 60 Senate Sponsors - 6 Citizen Sponsors - 2756
FL Health Care Freedom Act - House HJR 37 / Senate SJR 72 House Sponsors - 41 Senate Sponsors - 4 Citizen Sponsors - 2429
As you can see, we must pick up the momentum! Particularly in the state Senate, and with Citizen Sponsors.
It is important that we pick up the momentum NOW, because the process
to set the agenda for this years session in Tallahassee is already underway in the various committees. It is very rare that 'new' actions are added, once the session begins.
When supporters go to the web site - www.FLFreedom.org , there is a link that staes "Add Your Name'. Please be sure you have done this, and when you direct others to the site, remind them to do the same.
We must start an assertive campaign to contact our state legislators and insist that they sign on as co-sponsors! This is a non-partisan issue! It is about state's rights and
protecting Florida's citizens from an over-reaching, oppressive federal government!

Anatomy of a Failing Presidency
Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow
Wilson. In the modern era, we've seen several failed presidencies--led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait-- they are repudiated, in
the vernacular, spat out. Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet
his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China 20.
But, Barack Obama is failing. Failing
big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. The incomparable Dorothy
Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it: He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them. Fred Barnes of the Weekly
Standard says he is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. Clarice Feldman of American Thinker produced a dispositive commentary showing that
Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.
But, there is something more seriously wrong: How could a new president riding in on a wave of unprecedented promise and goodwill have forfeited his
tenure and become a lame duck in six months? His poll ratings are in free fall. In generic balloting, the Republicans have now seized a five point advantage. This
truly is unbelievable. What's going on?
No narrative. Obama doesn't have a narrative. No, not a narrative about himself. He
has a self-narrative, much of it fabricated, cleverly disguised or written by someone else. But this self-narrative is isolated and doesn't connect with us. He doesn't
have an American narrative that draws upon the rest of us. All successful presidents have a narrative about the American character that intersects with their own where they
display a command of history and reveal an authenticity at the core of their personality that resonates in a positive endearing way with the majority of Americans. We admire those
presidents whose narratives not only touch our own, but who seem stronger, wiser, and smarter than we are. Presidents we admire are aspirational peers, even those whose politics don't
align exactly with our own: Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Harry Truman, Ike, and Reagan.
But not this president. It's not so much that he's a phony,
knows nothing about economics, and is historically illiterate and woefully small minded for the size of the task--all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us.
And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper. Moreover, he doesn't command our respect and is
unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don't add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world
we live in don't make sense and don't correspond with our experience.
In the meantime, while we've been struggling to take a measurement of this
man, he's dissed just about every one of us--financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers,
and anybody else who has a non-green job. Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012: "For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who
were not offended, you just didn't give me enough time; if only I'd had a second term, I could have offended you too."
Mercifully, the
Founders at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 devised a useful remedy for such a desperate state--staggered terms for both houses of the legislature and the executive. An
equally abominable Congress can get voted out next year. With a new Congress, there's always hope of legislative gridlock until we vote for president again two short years after
that.
Message from I Caucus about 3rd Parties. We support this group and will have more from them. They have uncovered some
important information about the corrupt election system and have a plan that will work to break the cycle of incumbency.
Independence Caucus
A Citizen's movement to take back government from "Big Money" Interests groups
This is Frank Anderson one of the founders of I-caucus, and I would ask anyone who
disagrees with our policy on not endorsing 3rd party candidates to consider this:
Remember, not a single founding father wanted political parties, yet we saw 4 of the founders
- John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison - lead the development of 2 parties into existence before Washington even completed his first term.
Please Note: Those 4 founding fathers all wanted NO parties, but they immediately developed TWO parties...but not 3 or more parties.
Think about that: Why would that be? They wanted NO parties...they could have set up as many parties as they wanted to...but they ended up with just two.
Just like today...hmmm... Why would that be?
It's because of " Duvergers Law"
Bottom line: Whenever "50% of the vote plus 1 more" wins EVERYTHING, people will
eventually coalesce around 2 parties even when they DON'T want to do so...it's "Duvergers Law" and it's almost as unchangeable as gravity.
Does anyone here think we are collectively or individually smarter than Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson, or Madison?
No offense to anyone here, but I sure don't think so....and if
these 4 founding fathers couldn't figure out how to overcome "Duverger's Law" then I PROMISE you that no one in 2010 is going to be able to do so.
HOWEVER...we proved in 2008
that we CAN act as a caucus within the 2 existing parties, and we CAN root out the compromised incumbents from WITHIN the party...and we CAN take back control of the party from the
RINO's.
We will do it in 2010 all over the country because of all of our members just like you.
To anyone who is unhappy with our policy: Are you saying that if YOU decided to run in a Republican primary, and we got behind you and we helped ELECT you and sent you to
Washington...are you telling me you would somehow turn into someone who would be un-constitutional and fiscally irresponsible just because you won as a Republican or a Democrat?
Of course not. You would be as principled as you are right now...as principled as Jason Chaffetz is who we PROVED we could help elect in 2008, not as an independent candidate, but
as a Republican and now he is in Washington and he is NOT acting like a RINO...he is the most principled elected official sent to Washington in years.
Well, that's what we're
doing here...we're finding very good principled 3rd party candidates just like you...and we're going to help them win in the primaries and we're going to send them to Washington as
Republicans or Democrats ( we don't care which, because we don't care what party someone belongs to) where they can actually be constitutional and be fiscally responsible.
Meanwhile, those who insist on running as independent candidates and refuse to get serious about actually winning will all draw 2% to 3% of the vote (give or take 2 %) and be sitting
in their living rooms in 2011 not doing themselves or the nation any good.
Why would you choose to limit yourself like that when you can win instead?
The Founding
Fathers couldnt help a 3rd party candidate win. I-caucus can not help a 3rd party candidate win. YOU cannot help any 3rd party candidates win.
Do you want more incumbents like
Ron Paul, Jason Chaffetz, and Jim DeMint? Then welcome, we're going to accomplish just that.
Please watch this if you missed the show.
This is the first segment of the Glenn Beck show with Judge Napolitano giving an excellent monologue on natural rights vs. goods or products and the difference in charity, welfare, theft and slavery. It is about 9 minutes but the first 4 minutes or so are priceless.

We are friends of the Fair Tax proposal. The current tax code is about 65,000 pages and is a tool of the government to socially engineer our society through an excessive
and complex tax code that picks and chooses the winners and losers to their benefit. Please learn more about this important issue and the House bill HR25 that would
implement this measure.
"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."
- M. Gandhi
...They tried to ignore us when over a million patriots gathered around the country at Tea Parties. ...then they ridiculed
us as racists and phoney astroturf, teabag protesters. ...now they are fighting
us on all fronts including the state propaganda media, the teleprompter pulpit and all their hundreds of "community organized", Acorn type groups and million member unoins. ...
Liberty will prevail. Truth is on our side. Our rights were granted from our Creator, not
men...and men shall not take them away.
