CONTACT YOUR STATE AND US REPS AND SENATORS!!

The Texas Land Office and Texas Water Commission successfully used ‘oil eating’ microbes to clean up large oil spills in just weeks. Microbes hunt down and eat the toxic oil and leave only a biodegradable waste that is non-toxic to humans and marine life. Marshland and beaches were pristine again in just weeks—not years like the Exxon Valdez spill. This is the answer to save the seafood industry and all the precious creatures we are about to kill.

Check out the YouTube video by TEXAS Land Development with research and success that goes way back to 1989. Success was proven, but the federal government had no interest then, nor does it now. Red tape always gets in the way. If the federal government would get out of the way, and stop playing god, creativity and answers would be released at the local and state levels.

I second the motion to get this to Governor Jindal of LA, The states of Florida, Miss, TX, Glen Beck, Governor Huckabee, Sara Palin, Tea Party People, OAK, We the People and anyone else who will listen. Anyone know HOW to contact them? We must do an end run around the government, it seems, initiated by “We the People.”

For further information click on the websites below, which includes the following YouTube and fascinating research and application proving success in ways that make sense–true STEWARDSHIP of our planet.

Gulf Oil Spill-Gutsy Solution Restores Environment in Just Six Weeks

[From PrisonPlanet.com, by Paul Joseph Watson, story here.]

President Obama will be handed the power to shut down the Internet for at least four months without Congressional oversight if the Senate votes for the infamous Internet ‘kill switch’ bill, which was approved by a key Senate committee yesterday and now moves to the floor.

The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, which is being pushed hard by Senator Joe Lieberman, would hand absolute power to the federal government to close down networks, and block incoming Internet traffic from certain countries under a declared national emergency.

Despite the Center for Democracy and Technology and 23 other privacy and technology organizations sending letters to Lieberman and other backers of the bill expressing concerns that the legislation could be used to stifle free speech, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee passed in the bill in advance of a vote on the Senate floor.

In response to widespread criticism of the bill, language was added that would force the government to seek congressional approval to extend emergency measures beyond 120 days. Still, this would hand Obama the authority to shut down the Internet on a whim without Congressional oversight or approval for a period of no less than four months.

The Senators pushing the bill rejected the claim that the bill was a ‘kill switch’ for the Internet, not by denying that Obama would be given the authority to shut down the Internet as part of this legislation, but by arguing that he already had the power to do so.

I say if the City of Los Angeles really has a problem with the state of Arizona enforcing its borders, then, by all means, cancel the electrical grid service purchased from the state of Arizona.  Let’s see how tempers flare in that stifling Los Angeles heat with no air conditioners or fans; air, road and boat travel disrupted, perhaps even stopped; food preparation compromised; storm water and sewage pump stations not operational; and other vital services are affected by your holier-than-thou denial of Arizona’s right to do what the damn federal government should be doing.

I’d also suggest that since the state of California is so accepting of people who decide to bypass immigration (and possibly other laws, as well), the state of California should GLADLY take any illegal alien caught in the state of Arizona.  That would be the right thing to do, right??

Methinks those illegal aliens should have the choice of:  1) we ship, fly or walk your butt back from wherever you snuck in from; or 2) we put you on a train with well armed guards from local AZ law enforcement (or the local military base), drop you off five miles inside the border of CA, with the understanding that if you sneak back to AZ again, next time you won’t get option #2.

Talking about biting, maybe even taking off at the elbow, the hand that feeds you!!  California’s boycott of Arizona would be it.  It’s not like if you don’t like how HEB packages their apples, you can go to Kroger’s or the local farmer’s market and get what you want.  Maybe this is more like the belligerent, not forward-thinking, pre-teen that shouts, “I hate you, Mom!!  I never want to see or talk to you again!  You’re ruining my life!!!!“, then slams the bedroom door shut.  But then kiddo gets a call from a friend three minutes later, asks for a ride at 9:00 pm to the pizza parlor, and oh, by the way, “gimme $20, while you’re at it!!”

There are just not a ton of suppliers of surplus electricity grid producers that would be able to supply demand for a city the size of Los Angeles.  Not without the costs skyrocketing to the end residential and business consumers.
My advice to the Arizona Corporation Commission, not that I think they’d really take it but at least they know they’ve got some support from people from all over, is, go ahead, let Los Angeles cancel their contract.  They’ve probably eaten pizza too many times this month anyways!

All three broadcast evening newscasts have repeatedly touted, as if it is a valid representation of national sentiment, the “boycott” of Arizona by liberal municipalities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. But when the Arizona Corporation Commission Commissioner on Tuesday made a tongue-in-cheek offer to help Los Angeles out in its boycott by shutting off the electricity flow, CBS and NBC were silent.

New Arizona Law is “Most Reprehensible Thing Since the Japanese Internment”

Arizona Senate Bill 1070 sure has been in the news a lot lately.  To read some accounts, you’d have thought Arizona Governor Jan Brewer had stolen a few pages from Adolph Hitler’s playbook, crossing out “Jews” wherever she found it and penciling in “Hispanics”.  So, what’s really going on with Arizona’s new laws, and should anyone whose last name ends with a “z” leave the state now before the authorities can finish building the concentration camps?

Should anyone whose last name ends with a “z” leave Arizona before the concentration camps are complete?

The first thing to know about Senate Bill (SB) 1070 is that it’s already been changed by House Bill 2162, which was intended to head off any legal challenges to SB 1070.  HB 2162 has already been signed by Governor Brewer.  In this article, whenever I talk about SB 1070, I’m referring to the version that was modified by HB 2162, since the two bills taken together are the law of the land in Arizona.

So, let’s go through it and see what it says.  There’s a lot to this, so I’m going to have to break it up into a least two parts.

Well, in case you hadn’t heard, one Nick Morris, a Klein Collins High School student in Klein ISD,  was suspended for three days.  His egregious offense  was removing a Mexican flag from the balcony of Klein Collins’ atrium last week.  Maybe Mr. Morris should not have thrown it away, as the principal charged he had.

The political correctness atmosphere of public schools nowadays is absolutely disgusting.  This is still the United States of America. Well, it is at least as I and many other conservatives draw breath enough to try to stop the NWO/NAFTA.  Or the formation of whatever country that scheme will concoct… CanAmeXico or AmerCanIco or MexiCanIca… wait, I’d better stop before I give them the right catchy name they were just looking for!

Anyhow, the morons in administration at Klein ISD should be ashamed of themselves.  So Mr. DICK and Mr. Cain will know better if this happens again, THIS FLAG and THIS FLAG are the only flags that should be prominently displayed on the interior and exterior grounds of public schools.  By the way, if you didn’t know it already, any state can fly its state flag at the same level as the United States flag but the United States flag must be displayed on the right side of that state’s flag when looking at it in proper position. Here is some additional flag etiquette.

[See a related story here about San Francisco CA students who were also sent home for wearing t-shirts with American Flags on them.]

[By HALC.us staff]
This Fire Dog Lake article discusses documents in the criminal trial of disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.  Chicago’s NBC affiliate station has posted previously redacted information that had been missing from a subpoena requesting that Barack Obama testify in the trial.

Perhaps the person doing the redaction work on the subpoena had little experience redacting personal information to be published.  Or, perhaps someone really wanted the real information to be seen so the citizens of Illinois, as well as the country as a whole, would know what Former Senator Obama has been up to all these years.  That trial court’s judge, Judge James B. Zagel, called an emergency meeting over redaction errors.

The hubub of this trial is that Barack Obama is claiming that he can’t be forced to testify at all in Blagojevich’s trial proceedings since he’s a sitting President.  This is despite the fact that the acts alleged by the U. S. Government in the state of Illinois against Blagojevich occurred when Obama was a mere U S Senator from Illinois.  NO immunity would apply.

(Think back to Bill Clinton and the “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”  Those acts occurred while Clinton was Governor of Arkansas and were not “official acts” of the office carrying out an official duty, so no immunity would apply.)

At the heart of the matter, Blagojevich’s defense attorneys allege that Tony Rezko, a former neighbor, former fundraiser and former friend of the Obamas, admitted to violating election law by personally contributing “a large sum of cash” to a public official’s campaign.  Blagojevich’s attorneys and other people in Blagojevich’s circle say that Barack Obama is the “public official.”

Blagojevich’s lawyers claim that Obama may not have been telling the truth when he said Rezko never relayed a request from a lobbyist to hold a fundraiser for Obama in exchange for favorable legislative action (Obama, however, refused to agree to the offer, Rezko allegedly says).  They also claim that Obama allegedly lied when he said he didn’t have any conversations with Rezko about a casino license.

On top of this Blagojevich case and the dozens of birth certificate challenge lawsuits around the country against Barack Obama, including the docket for Berg v. Obama, et al., 2:08-CV-04083-RBS, a Philadelphia, PA case regarding Obama’s eligibility to serve as United States President.  In order to view the documents hyperlink in the Berg case docket, you must either already have a PACER account set up, set one up or locate the documents from a source that already has purchased put on their website the documents.  PACER accounts have a set-up cost [but this writer is unsure about the amount of that] and $.08/page for downloading documents thereafter.  Here is the originating document in the case, the Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief.  This should be interesting, folks…  Keep tuned for more later.

There has been plenty of controversy surrounding Arizona’s new immigration enforcement legislation; however, instead of being disputed, Arizona should be commended for addressing the immigration problems that the United States federal government has ignored. I would never deny anyone the opportunity to become a United States citizen, but the immigration process shall be strictly followed. The following list is my solutions to the United State’s immigration process.

The United States shall close all of its borders by:

• Establishing three military bases along the borders of California, Arizona, and Texas. All land along the border will be patrolled by the United States military, and all illegal immigrants that are caught will be processed (Picture and finger printed) returned from wherever they originated from. A second offense will result in prison not to exceed 2 years. A third offense will result a mandatory sentence of 5 years. In all cases they will be returned to their country.

• Stopping immediately all social services, e.g., Medicare, social security, Welfare, etc., for all immigrants and illegals. If these services are required, See USCIS on “How to become a United States Citizen.”

• Heavily fining any employers who are hiring illegal worker.  The first offense will be 20% of the current years profits. Second offense will be 50% of the current years profits. Third offense will result in that company shutting down for 1 year and 100% of the current years profits. That illegal will be fined and/or imprisoned for up to 2 years and not more than $10,000. No exceptions.

• Instituting a 90-day forgiveness plan. During that 90-day period, all illegal immigrants will be encouraged to return home and start the legal process for returning to the United States. All paperwork shall be completed in order to return, and all immigrants shall have an ID (passport) and medical insurance. If an illegal immigrant ignores the 90-day forgiveness plan, then they will not be allowed to return to the US. If illegal is caught in anyway in the US, That person or person would face heavy fines and/or prison and lose of all properties and returned to the country of origin. (Up to, but not more than 2 years and/or up to, but not more that $10,000).

April 30,2010 – Houston
The Houston Tea Party Society hosted an event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel to allow candidates for the 2010 Congressional Races in the Houston and Southeast Texas to participate and sign the Contract From America.    The event was open to all congressional Candidates in the South East Texas area including incumbents and challengers.

The Contract from America is self described as a grassroots-generated, crowd-sourced, bottom-up call for real economic conservative and good governance reform in Congress.   The initative was developed within the decentralized tea party and 912 movements. Ryan Hecker, a Houston Tea Party Society activist, developed the concept of creating a grassroots-generated call for reform prior to the April 15, 2009 Tax Day Tea Party rallies.

John Culberson (R ) of Texas District 7 was the only incumbent present for the signing.    The candidates in attendance included Libertarians Bruce West of the 8^th district, David Smith of the 2^nd District and Steve Susman of the 22^nd District.   Republican signers for the contract were John Faulk – District 18.

Congressional candidate David Smith, CD 2-TX

John Culberson was the first to sign the contract.   Before signing the contract, he took exception to the 9^th item which was to reduce pork.   The contract states that congress will not pass any earmarks until the budget is balanced and only then with a 2/3 majority vote.    Culberson declined to include that item and used a “Line item veto” with that rule.

All other candidates signed the contract without any exceptions or exemptions.   David Smith who is opposing Ted Poe of the 2^ndCongressional District, used his time to mention “Fiscal Responsibility is vital to our economy and our government.”   He also noted that he had been busy campaigning in a non-stop door to door campaign.

Rep. Poe, we can’t capture the thousands of people who cross the border on the southern border of the United States because the members of the Committee on the Judiciary, the  Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law Membership, and the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security,  like YOU, keep giving retarded speeches that don’t do a damn thing except expel tons of CO₂, which Mr. Gore is so fond of exploiting.  Except maybe you can inflate your preening ego so you can try to keep attracting those 18-24 yr old females of whom you’re so fond… but I digress.

Rep. Poe Compares Immigrants To Grasshoppers

Besides Rep. Poe, you just voted to let Puerto Rico decide if they want to be annexed by voting YEA on one of the earlier votes for HR 2499, home to approximately 3.6 million people.  In fact, you were a co-sponsor of H.R. 2499.  Never mind the fact that Puerto Rico has had similar proposals on the ballot at least three times in the past 2o yrs and overwhelmingly turned it down EVERY time.

The median income (in 1999 dollars) for “households” is $14,412 and $16,543 for “families”.  Per capita income (in 1999 dollars) is $8,185; of all ages of Puerto Ricans, 48.2% have  income below the poverty level (in 1999 dollars) and an astounding 58.3% of related children under 18 yrs of age are living below the poverty level (in 1999 dollars).  [See U. S. Census Bureau income and poverty statistics in 1999 & 2000 for Puerto Rico.]

Only 46% of Puerto Ricans are employed.  (Ironically, “puerto rico” means “rich port” or “rich harbor.”)  Of the Puerto Ricans who are employed, nearly half of those salaried people work either directly or indirectly for the government.  Welfare payments (transfer payments) paid to individuals have increased drastically, skyrocketing from $69 million in 1968 to well over $8 billion in 2002.  One-fifth of the islanders’ personal income is received in the form of disability, unemployment, and welfare payments. “This massive social spending, which began in the 1970s and continues today, has resulted in severe domestic disinvestment in the economy. Domestic capital investment has declined from 32 percent of GDP in 1970 to 16 percent in 2000. This means that the Puerto Rican government, rather than supporting the creation of jobs and market incentives, relies primarily on tax-induced revenue and foreign investment for any growth in the island’s GDP.”
