Hey Guys! I have a suggestion: Since we are not getting anywhere with DC, why not start at home? Utilize your group and go to your local Sheriff, City council, County Supervisor, Fire Dept., Police Dept., School Board, etc and ask IN PERSON if they plan to implement some of these "new ideas" coming down the pike or if they will stand up against the socialists. Ask them to refuse the tainted STIMULUS money, the PORK. Ask them to refuse to participate with the new regulations. Take a list of all Obama is planning and all the new bills passing like wildfire under our noses and ask your local officials to REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE!!! If they know we have their backs, maybe they will show some backbone. Monitor the opposition in your area and advertise their plans if they begin recruiting. If we can keep people from signing up for their army, they won't have one! If our schools don't sign on to the GIVE act then our kids won't be forced to volunteer! If the police WON"T profile "militia members" we can move freely. If cities and counties refuse to play the game, it will be harder for states to cooperate with DC! This may be easier in smaller communities, but isn't it worth a try? Start in your community and get the powers-that-be on board with 9-12.

Hey Guys, I mentioned this last week and no one is talking about it so I will try again. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is being revisited by this administration. To guarantee Parental Rights in our Constitution, the Parental Rights Amendment (yes, I said AMENDMENT) will be introduced as HJ Res 97 by Pete Hoekstra on March 31. If the treaty becomes law it will turn over parental rights to a UN commission and all the fun little government thugs who will be hired to implement the law in the US (ACORN anybody?) Please go to www.parentalrights.org and check it out. There is a link to Hoekstras website and explanations and examples of what can happen and what HAS happened because of this treaty. WORLD magazine FINALLY did a piece on it (3/28 edition) but Glenn, Rush and Hannity don't seem to want to touch it. Even my local radio station hasn't taken it seriously yet. I'm already mad about HR 1388, but it will be moot if the treaty becomes law as the UN will decide if "volunteering" is in "the best interests of the child". Parents will have no say. See Principal #4.

I too am horrified by HR 1388, but there is something even MORE worrisome and that is the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty that has been stalled since the Clinton administration but that Nancy Pelosi wants revisited. This treaty, if ratified by the US Senate, will give the United Nations CONTROL over our American children!! It has already caused problems in Europe and Canada and will cause many problems in the US because of our Constitution and the status it gives treaties as law. Homeschooling, religious teaching, parental discipline...and much more will be banned or under government control if this thing is ratified. Check out www.parentalrights.org for more information. There is a plan underway to put a Parental Rights amendment into the Constitution. There are already over 50 co-sponsors in the House. Check it out and get involved!!
