Houston Area Liberty Campaign

(NaturalNews) It is now being revealed that US Senators slipped up in a big way when passing the Food Safety Modernization Act on Tuesday: They added what are effectively “new taxes” into the bill, and according to the U.S. Constitution, only the House of Representatives can initiate legislation requiring new taxes.

Thus, the House is now obliged to give this food safety legislation the so-called “blue slip,” meaning that it rejects the law and sends it back to the Senate for yet another vote. This would take time and effort, of course, and the Democrats have very little of either remaining in their lame duck session.

As explained on Wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_slip):

“This blue-slipping procedure, done by an order of the House, is routinely completed to enforce its interpretation that the House is the sole body to introduce revenue or appropriations legislation. The failure of the House to consider the legislation means it cannot become a law. This tactic has historically proven to be of great use to the House and, as a practical matter, the Senate does not introduce tax or revenue measures to avoid a blue slip.” Read the rest of this entry »

Product is Energy Star Certified, But Not Available To The Public

The gas-powered Black-Gold model clock radio is sleek, durable, easy on your electric bill and surprisingly quiet.

Most of us want to be good stewards to the environment, and in these tough economic times we’d all like to save a buck or two in the process.  If that’s true for you, you’re probably interested in the government’s Energy Star program, a joint venture between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DoE) that is intended to help “us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices“.  Energy Star is all about recognizing products that meet strict energy efficiency guidlines so that we can all make smarter choices, and reward companies that are making superior products.

So, as a service to consumers out there, I’d like to recommend the Black-Gold model alarm clock-radio manufactured by Spartan Digital Electronics, Inc.  According to their website, it is gas-powered, easy on your electric bill, and Energy Star certified.  It also approximates the size of a small portable generator for “increased ease while traveling”.

A gasoline-powered alarm clock?  Is this for real?
