I’m sitting in the living room with the kids watching Sprout on the TV…  the kids without a care and not a clue that their future (and ours) is in the hands of the idiots in Washington D.C. that I am listening to and watching on the internet.

I do not understand how people could be considering the passage of this type of bill.  The power and the control that is turned over to the Federal Government with this proposed bill has only been dreamed about in the past…  not only by the progressive-Americans some 80 to 100 years ago… but this is what the Socialist / Marxist / Stalinist / Castroist (is that a word?) Dictatorships have wanted to do the the U.S. since they theorized their non-working Great Society…

The only way the U.S. will fall…  is from within….  and this could be the beginning of the end.  Pay attention.  Do not fear.  Speak with truth and honor.

Don’t Tread On Me.

Consider that a warning…  you were elected, and you will be ‘un’ elected and held accountable.  Pitch Forks and Torches.

Iowa’s Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) Laws are subjective and not in step with The Constitution of the United States, they need to be amended.   There is a bill in the Iowa House that would bring Iowa Law more instep with the Constitution and what is right.  Please check out H.F. 2528 and let your local representatives know how you feel.

Right now in the State of Iowa, each county sheriff chooses whether or not to issue CCW permits and to whom and who not to issue them.  This is a totally subjective procedure to which there is no recourse if you are denied.  This bill would change that and make the State of Iowa a “shall issue” state, meaning that unless a predefined reason can be demonstrated by the issuing authority, a CCW permit shall be issued to all that apply.

There are other points in the bill that are worth considering as well, like the length of time that a CCW permit is valid, and the ability of the State of Iowa to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states, as well as the education requirements for obtaining and retaining CCW permits.

Get involved and stand up for your rights.  Go here to find out how to contact your representatives.

The Federal Government seems determined, despite the nations pleas to cease and desist, to pass Obamacare.  Despite what some people believe, the majority of the nation does not want, or in fact, need this.  This bill has been hidden and changed so many times, no one, not even the Speaker of the House, knows what’s in the bill.  In her shrill words, “…we’ll have to pass the bill, to see what’s in the bill….”  Perfect.

The tactics being discussed to pass this bill should be, and will be if the bill is written into law, a humiliating affair for all involved that have not been standing up and shouting NO.  Apparently in the Senate, 60 votes are hard to come by, so a little used Reconciliation tactic will need to be used to pass the bill…  in the House, the Slaughter Rule, which in short, will allow the candy of the bill to be voted on, and then the rest of the bill will be passed by association.  These are some of the smoke and mirror tactics that we can be proud of….  NOT

Now is the time to  call and write your legislators and inform them that we are on to them…  even if you agree with everything that’s in the bill, I don’t know how you could feel good about passing any legislation using these manors.
