Thanks Mike, apologize for being "lazy" (GIYF). Lynn is right, this is a must-read, must-support resolution in my mind. Guess I'll be writing some letters...

I am very much expecting this sort of thing following passage of any health care legislation, along with instantaneous court challenges. We need to keep fighting even if/when they get obamaCare passed.

I did ask Jon Russell flat out "would you enter a motion to repeal the obamaCare law when you are elected to the US House". His answer was "Absolutely".

Inhofe Launches Investigation of Climate Change
November 24th, 2009 from www.BobMcCarty.com

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.)
Yesterday and today, I reported that Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) was threatening to launch a “ClimateGate” investigation. Late this afternoon, the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works did just that.

Senator Inhofe sent letters to several scientists, some of whom allegedly manipulated data to prove the scientific “consensus” of global warming, as well as to the inspectors general of several federal agencies, notifying them to retain documents related to the release of emails from the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit.

“The stakes in this controversy are significant, as it appears that the basis of federal programs, pending EPA rulemakings, and cap-and-trade legislation was contrived and fabricated,” Senator Inhofe said. “Moreover, it appears that, in an attempt to conceal the manipulation of climate data, information disclosure laws may have been violated.

“I certainly don’t condone the manner in which these emails were released; however, now that they are in the public domain, lawmakers have an obligation to determine the extent to which the so-called ‘consensus’ of global warming, formed with billions of taxpayer dollars, was contrived in the biased minds of the world’s leading climate scientists.”

The letters are the first step in the investigation of the climate scandal. Last week, emails released by a computer hacker revealed that several leading climate scientists allegedly manipulated climate data and research used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. These scientists also appear to have refused outside access to their raw data, obstructed freedom of information requests, and plotted ways to prevent the publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals by scientists who question global warming alarmism.

Posting from Greg in Tacoma: On Monday, November 30th at 7:00 PM, State agencies are having a 2 hour public meeting at the State Department of Ecology headquarters, 300 Desmon Dr. in Lacey, WA. Agency representatives and scientists will discuss state climate trends.

In light of the recent revalations from the British CRU on the fraud surrounding research on global warming, it is necessary for some of us to let our voices be heard along with the usual green activists. Hopefully some of our members can make this meeting and report back to us.

Terry is planning to head up around 4:15 PM and can be contacted at Terry@WeThePeople-Washington.org if anyone wants to carpool from SW Washington or meet up once there.

Let's get this going in WA! Our State Constitution is very much like Vermont regarding firearms.

Vermont State Rep. Fred Maslack has read the Second Amendment
to the U...S. Constitution, as well as Vermont 's own Constitution very carefully, and his strict interpretation of these documents is popping some eyeballs in New England and elsewhere.

Maslack recently proposed a bill to register "non-gun-owners" and
require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become the first state to require a permit for the luxury of going about unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun.

Maslack read the "militia" phrase of the Second Amendment as not only the right of the individual citizen to bear arms, but as a clear mandate to do so. He believes that universal gun ownership was advocated by the Framers of the Constitution as an antidote to a "monopoly of force" by the government as well as criminals. Vermont 's constitution states explicitly that "the people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State" and those persons who are "conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms" shall be required to "pay such equivalent." Clearly, says Maslack, Vermonters have a constitutional obligation to arm themselves, so that they are capable of responding to "any situation that may arise."

Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a firearm would be required to register their name, address, Social Security Number, and driver's license number with the state. "There is a legitimate government interest in knowing who is not prepared to defend the state should they be asked to do so," Maslack says

Vermont already boasts a high rate of gun ownership along with the least restrictive laws of any state .. it's currently the only state that
allows a citizen to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. This
combination of plenty of guns and few laws regulating them has resulted in a crime rate that is the third lowest in the nation.

" America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the
system, but too early to shoot the bastards."

This makes sense! There is no reason why gun owners should have to pay taxes to support police protection for people not wanting to own guns. Let them contribute their fair share and pay their own way.

" I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
