Update: Deadline set in banned Bible study case
The sequence of events developed this way.
"On April 10, 2009, Good Friday, a female county employee came to the Joneses' residence. The county employee appeared in the front yard and proceeded to take pictures of our clients' home," the letter said. "She noticed the Joneses' daughters in the front yard and asked to speak with their mother. Although she did not provide any paper work or identification, subsequent information obtained by the WCLP leads us to believe that the county employee who went to the Joneses' residence was Code Enforcement Officer Cherie Cham."
"Do you have a regular weekly meeting in your home? Do you sing? Do you say 'amen'?" the official reportedly asked. "Do you say, 'Praise the Lord'?"
The pastor's wife answered yes.

Cap and Trade and a Value Added Tax
--Mouse droppings - Repeal the 16th Amendment!
Breaking News - Could There Be a VAT in Your Future?
Things are moving pretty quickly in Washington these days.
Here is a Washington Post headline called "Once Considered Unthinkable, U.S. Sales Tax Gets Fresh Look."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/26/AR2009052602909.html
To summarize, the President and Congress are considering a VAT (Value Added Tax) that might coexist with some changes to the income tax.
Here's what the Post says about a VAT.
"A VAT is a tax on the transfer of goods and services that ultimately is borne by the consumer. Highly visible, it would increase the cost of just about everything, from a carton of eggs to a visit with a lawyer. It is also hugely regressive, falling heavily on the poor."
While the increase in retail price is highly visible, the actual tax is not because a VAT is embedded into the price of the goods or services as they move through the manufacture or delivery process. So the price you pay will be high, but you won't know how much of that price is the VAT. Just as you don't know how much of the prices you pay today are the result of income, payroll, and other taxes and tax compliance costs of the businesses that create and sell what you buy.

Investor's Business Daily was right on top of this story with a poll.
http://www.ibdeditorials.com/Polls.aspx?id=328320428336434
But when do politicians listen to polls that they disagree with?
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was bold enough to state on the Senate floor during the TARP debate in September that her office had received over 85,000 calls from constituents running 95% against the bailout, yet she voted for it, because she knew better.
Look at Congressman Henry Waxman. With encouragement from the president, he is going full bore to get a Cap and Trade bill onto his desk despite similar polls showing vast disapproval of the idea.
http://www.ibdeditorials.com/Polls.aspx?id=327111385953165
When you look at these polls, you'll see that about 10% to 15% (look at the "Not Sure" percentages) of Americans are clueless or uninformed about their government.

Cap and Trade and a Value Added Tax are both targets that the TEA party movement must address.
The possibility of an income tax and a sales tax should have the entire country up in arms.

Al Gore and Co. Must be Stopped
*Posted as a concerned citizen who believes in this cause. If you do, please donate and pass along the information.
Gore must be stopped, he must not be allowed to steal generations of income.
SAY NO TO GORE. WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN! TELL THEM NO, NO AND HELL NO!
Mouse droppings-
From American Solutions-
And as Politico reports, he's had a "hidden helping hand" this week from Al Gore.
They write that Gore has "mobilized his green grass roots, marshaled his well-endowed lobbying organization and even personally called Democratic committee members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee."
So, we're launching a nationwide "Stop the Energy Tax" campaign to stop this.
It's been estimated that the Waxman energy tax bill would raise an average family's annual energy bill by $1,500, and destroy 1-3 million jobs per year, over the next 15 years.
Can you afford to pay $1,500 more a year for energy?
Our "Stop the Energy Tax" campaign is how we can fight back, but the first step is launching it.We need to raise $100,000 in the next two days, so we can set up a rapid-response operation, create internet ads, and deliver your petitions to Congress.
Think about this - you are one of 1.3 million people getting this email today. If 10,000 members chip in just $15, we'll beat our goal.
Can you make a secure donation right now for $15, $25 or whatever you can afford? If so, here's the link to contribute:http://www.americansolutions.com/contribute/index.php?id=70180000000JAdi§ion=energytax
A generous donor has agreed to match up to $100,000 in online donations. Your contribution today will have double the impact in stopping this massive tax increase.
We can have a "Full Power" American energy policy that produces more energy here at home while protecting the environment. This will lead to more jobs and a more prosperous America.
Thank you for what you're doing.Your friend,
Newt Gingrich, General Chairman, American Solutions for Winning the Future
P.S. Remember, a generous donor is standing by to match your donation if we can reach $100,000 in the next two days. If we can get this campaign rolling, we'll be able to take this fight to Rep. Waxman and Al Gore, and all those who would punish the American people with higher energy taxes. Click here to make a secure donation of $15, $25, or whatever you can afford.

Barney Frank Lies About ACORN
The American Spectator : Barney Frank Lies About ACORN
By Matthew Vadum on 5.21.09 @ 6:07AM
House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) lied to Lou Dobbs on national television the other night but no one seems to have noticed.
On the May 18 edition on CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) said she was worried about the fact that ACORN and other organizations would "have access potentially to $8.5 billion" in federal funds.

ACORN-Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann
from Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann
Well, lo and behold: Just yesterday, the House passed – with Chairman Frank’s vote -- the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act with a provision that sets new eligibility requirements for lenders to be approved Federal Housing Administration (FHA) lenders. One of the standards is that the lenders may not employ individuals that are “under indictment for, or have been convicted of, an offense that reflects adversely upon the applicant’s integrity, competence or fitness to meet the responsibilities of an approved mortgagee.” This was in both the original House-passed bill and yesterday’s Senate version. There’s no blaming this on a compromise with the Senate.

Bachmann vs Frank on ACORN
Facing off against Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank on ACORN with CNN's Lou Dobbs. The question is, why should the federal government and the American taxpayer be funding supposedly non-profits groups like ACORN to the tune of billions of dollars? ACORN has been indicted and its employees convicted time and time again, yet the taxpayer continues to fund their fraudulent behavior.

NYT Finally Admits It Spiked Obama/ACORN Corruption Story | NewsBusters.org
Acknowledging what the blogosphere has known for weeks, the New York Times finally went on record to admit that just before last Election Day it killed a politically sensitive news story involving corruption allegations that might have made the Obama campaign look bad.
But the admission on Sunday, which came seven months after NYT staff reporter Stephanie Strom's reporting about possibly illegal coordination between the Obama campaign and ACORN last year, took the form of a snarky column from Clark Hoyt, the Old Gray Lady's "public editor." Hoyt used the word "nonsense" to describe the allegations of impropriety leveled against ACORN and the Obama campaign.

Obama Sways Congressman to Pass on New York Senate Democratic Primary - Presidential Politics | Political News - FOXNews.com
Can you say stacking the deck?
It's rare for a president to inject himself into statewide politics. And a host of New York political insiders with ties to several House Democrats say they're angry that the president even got involved.
"What? You can't have a primary? It's decided in backroom deals?" asked a source who spoke to FOX News on the condition of anonymity. "What if someone told Obama he couldn't have a primary and Hillary (Clinton) would just be the nominee? Where would he be? It's an outrage."

The writer knows that many people believe America is developing into a police state in which human rights, justice, truth, liberty, and overall righteousness are going by the wayside along with security, such as that provided by our shores being defended against invasion.
The writer maintains, though, that America is already a police state and that security of the people has nothing whatsoever to do with its development.
