Dear Friend of Liberty,
The other night, Barack Obama gave his first nationwide address as President. To be sure, it was an historic event, but the vision for the future he delivered contradicts many of our historic American values.
Although he denied believing in Big Government, Obama delivered a resounding celebration of federal programs and prescribed more intervention than ever as the cure for our ills.
But this plan stands opposed to the vision of our Founding Fathers.
In 1801, in his first State of the Union, Thomas Jefferson proclaimed that the pillars of American prosperity are “most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.”
Because they understood the vital importance of fiscal restraint, our early Presidents were often able to announce budget surpluses during the State of the Union.
While Barack Obama warned against the burden of debt upon our posterity, he attempted to defend his own profligate deficit spending as necessary to restart the economy.
This deficit is not a down payment on a future surplus, and his massive “stimulus” spending will only prolong our economic suffering, not hasten our recovery.
This crisis resulted from spending, borrowing, and printing too much money. We lived far beyond our means, forming an overblown bubble of consumption.
And now that bubble has burst.
Instead of returning to a sound and sustainable economic policy, Barack Obama wants to reinflate that artificial boom and leave it to the next generation of Americans to deal with the disastrous consequences of a bust.
And those consequences cannot be overstated. Our federal government is currently on the hook for $56 TRILLION in total liabilities and unfunded commitments.
At this very minute, an American child is born into $184,000 of debt.
Our children and grandchildren will be too insolvent to pass the buck along to the next generation. We must stand up now for this nation’s future.
Campaign for Liberty is leading the charge against Barack Obama’s bankrupt future by fighting to restore the America our Founders envisioned – a nation of free markets, free people, and sound money.
We can restore America’s promise of a better future. But we will need your help.
Campaign for Liberty operates like government should, meaning we will not go into debt. Only your ongoing financial support allows us to stand up against Barack’s broken vision for America.
Please help us in this important fight. If you are able to give to Campaign for Liberty at this time, please click here. If not, we still thank you for standing alongside us in our fight for freedom.
With your help, we can start a R3volution to restore America to the free and prosperous nation our Founders envisioned.
Thank you for taking a stand with us at this critical hour.
In Liberty,
John Tate, President
Campaign for Liberty
P.S. We stand at an historic crossroads. If we do not stand up for our Founding Fathers’ vision for America, Barack Obama will certainly take us down his path to Big Government and bankruptcy.

My life is almost devoid of routine. This is my attempt to capture the strangeness of my days.

Kansas City Tea Party.
FairTaxers! KC Plaza Tea Party
Feb 28th at 10 a.m. JC Nichols Fountain at 47th and J.C. Nichols Parkway K.C.MO.
This will be a public peaceful protest event with Amanda’s army, the young mother that cares about her kid’s future.
The FairTaxKC organization will stage a “Boston Tea Party” type symbolic protest that Americans did in Boston on December 16, 1773 by putting the Income Tax Code in an IRS RIP casket.
Congress is forcing upon us, inefficient, ridiculously complicated, wasteful taxation and we are angry. This did not have to be this way.
Pork laden spending, rushed through Congress in secret, is unacceptable. Yet another example of our leaders using our Income Tax code to pick winners and losers and we are the losers.
Our protest is to emphasize that the FairTax HR-25 will be a more effective stimulus without bankrupting future generations. Why does Congress ignore it, hide it, and refuses to talk about it? We know the answer.
Meet at staging area Home Depot 97th and Metcalf at 9 am Saturday Feb 28th.
We will give out hats, signs, etc and caravan to the Plaza.

House Demolition Perfected (PG language)
How Midwesterners Demolish A House (With a cannon and some explosives. Duh.)
Dollar Crash.
Glenn Beck has been making some scary shows lately. When he and Ron Paul get together, the conversation makes me cringe, because I know they're probably right.
The UN, IMF, and World Bank are all threats to United States' sovereignty. The central bankers can print dollars until they're worthless so they can come in with a global monetary system to replace it. The Federal Reserve is already operating outside the Constitution. The Congress has lost control of our money system. This is going to be an interesting ride. Does the bank hold your deed? Do you have hard assets? Land? Gold? Other precious metals? Does your state government have gold reserves to back a local money system? It's sobering. This graph shows exactly what is happening to the dollar right now. Brace yourself. . . they're dumping dollars onto the market.

Really? Wow! Really?
I respect Dr. Keyes. I really hope he is wrong here, but I suspect he is right.

Went to the gun range instead. Oops.
Some coworkers came by my desk near the end of the work day and asked if I wanted to go to the gun range for a little while and shoot a 9mm and a .380. I had a full plate, but I was frustrated with the work I was stuck doing at that point, so I capitulated. I drove them to Jose Peppers where they bought me a quick dinner and we went to The Bullet Hole in Overland Park (Shawnee Mission Parkway & Robinson). After they got to shoot their respective guns, I got a chance to try them both. I'm not a fan of that Keltec .380. It was too light, so the recoil was pretty bad. It bruised my thumb. The Sig Sauer 9mm was perfection. The weight was ideal and it fit my hand perfectly. I shot a really tight group in the bullseye of the target the first clip I emptied. It was ladies night at the gun range, which was an interesting dynamic. I'd go back there in a heartbeat. I'm told that I should try shooting a Paraordnance or Springfield Armory XD next time. I took the compadres back to the office to get their vehicles and went inside to finish my work, where I lost track of time. Big mistake. I was supposed to meet up with my friend Adam D. to discuss how his new venture and my side business could benefit each other. I had not heard my phone because I had left the phone in the Jeep. He tried calling me a couple of times. Man, I hate that I forgot our appointment, because we're both so busy. . . I hope to reschedule.
