Certainly Ron Paul rather than McCain is the one people should be considering in their activities within the GOP machinery.

Mark Shares this article, Here are some highlights, quite interesting.  Sobering perspective to say the least.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN APPROACH - FAMINE IS IN THE AIR

Excerpt:

"Tens of thousands will make it through this coming “tribulation” (whether Biblical or not) and millions will not. Men, women and children will gather together in impromptu back woods camps, working, helping, guarding, hunting, fishing, planning and praying their way through what lies ahead.

"Millions will be in abject terror as the most evil among us pound at the door and break in the windows of cities and suburbia. And all of this just a stone’s throw from the soccer field where the Friday before, time and effort was spent on what you thought were the most important moments in all of one’s life. Does it matter now? Did it really matter then?

"We will look back after the final plunge into oblivion begins with trucks stopping along the highway. Trucks hauling the supplies we take for granted. No more money, no more $4.50 diesel fuel, and no more patience with a government more intent on controlling your lives than working toward a secure America with a prosperous, energy independent and debt free nation under their wheels.

"Police agencies and military units are training around the clock every day of every week across the land in preparation for riots, confiscations and detentions on a scale never before contemplated. Communications will be controlled, then severed, as the government and the military begin a “black-out” that will erase the final “freedom” that Americans have enjoyed through the use of cell phones and the internet. This will be so they can implement their battle plans without your knowing of it or being able to sound the alarm. We will be as isolated and vulnerable as any people anywhere on earth. That descent into utter darkness will put the last nail on the coffin of freedom as surely as though the founders had been put to the wall and executed. We are staring with blind eyes into the void of our own making. We have played soccer while the thieves stole our home towns. The damage is done. We have opened the doors to our refuge and found it bare."

An open message to Senator John McCain:

As it is most likely you will be the Republican nominee for President and I will be the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in New Jersey, I have one really big favor to ask of you: STOP trying to convince the American people you are right on our involvement in Iraq’s Civil War. I have made it abundantly clear when I am elected to the United States Senate I will do everything within my powers to bring all the combat troops home from Iraq by September 2010 (2 ½ years from now), irrespective of who occupies the Oval Office. I will agree to disagree with you on this very important issue.

Let’s have some straight talk my friend: I am not going to convince you that your position is wrong and you are not going to convince 75% of New Jersey voters you are right. One rule of thumb my parents taught me was the first thing to do when you are digging a hole for yourself - stop digging. I am sure you will continue to be asked about your position on Iraq and I am not suggesting for you to not answer the question. But instead of giving platitudes like you "want to win the war" or if we exit now "we are retreating", try offering to the American people YOUR exit strategy and the tactics to accomplish that strategy. As a great military hero you know all successful military plans have an exit strategy - that is what Americans want to hear, not gaffes like your infamous "100 years in Iraq" statement.

I am still confused how Senator Barack Obama has a more traditional Republican foreign policy than you do (i.e., no nation-building, no pre-emptive attacks) but I will leave that for another conversation.

As recent polls in New Jersey and across America show you are dragging down the rest of the Republican ticket. In New Jersey you are now trailing the presumptive Democratic-nominee, Senator Obama 56% to 32% (Monmouth University poll) and 48% to 40% (Bergen Record poll). The Monmouth University poll gave you a 39% favorable to 45% unfavorable opinion - I am no political scientist, but those are not good numbers. Nationally, the picture looks equally weak.

As the likely Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in New Jersey, part of my responsibility will be to lead the Republican Party in New Jersey and protect the Congressional and local candidates from a Democratic rout come November. Hence, my message to you today.

In order to win back those "Reagan Democrats" you must focus your campaign on kitchen table issues. This is why I have proposed The Sabrin Solution which is a simple three point plan to communicate: 1) secure our borders from foreign terrorists and illegal immigrants, 2) secure our economic well-being by getting government off our backs and out of our wallets, and 3) secure our children’s well-being by increasing choice in education and increasing our liberties and freedoms. This was Ronald Reagan’s message, this is my message to New Jersey voters and I strongly believe this can be a winning message for your campaign. My message to Legalize Freedom is resonating with voters which is why I am the frontrunner to take on the extremely liberal Frank Lautenberg in November.

Stop with the silly gimmicks like eliminating the gas tax for three months - you don’t need to be a Ph.D. in economics (I have a Ph.D. in economic geography from Rutgers) to know this will have little, if any positive impact on the economy. As a matter of fact, a very good argument can be made your plan will have a negative impact because it will have a minimal positive impact on working Americans while increasing the deficit without offsetting spending (I think I heard that from you back during the first Bush tax cuts). You lose credibility with the American voters when you offer such economic gimmicks.

The American tax-payer wants you to fight for them and when they see the Federal Reserve give a $30 billion bail out to Wall Street and you remain silent they become suspect. Silence is approval and a good fiscal conservative would never approve such a transaction. Fight for Main Street, fight for the middle class, and fight for our freedoms - those are the qualities Americans are looking for in their next President. You can see more about my efforts to correct our failed monetary policy by visiting my website MurraySabrin.com.

If you don’t heed my advice, not only will you lose in November, but you will take the Republican Party down with you. It will be my job to make sure the "Obama Tsunami" doesn’t wash ashore the Jersey coast in November.

In Liberty,
Murray Sabrin, Ph.D.
Republican candidate for United States Senate in New Jersey

Juries have the power to nullify laws that they feel are unconstitutional. Never shirk your responsibility if you are asked to be on a jury.

"Jury Nullification" is the power of the Jury to overturn bad laws (of which, we have MANY) It is an important tool guaranteed to citizens serving on jury duty Jury nullification enables us to declare laws unjust, if we are so inclined

A good reminder of some of Ron Paul’s principled stances. Ron Paul, the only US Constitution supporting Candidate, the rest betray their oaths of office.

This guy (host) is a jerk. Nevertheless, Ron Paul is a statesman who is not rattled by such small minded minions who seek to be condescending and insulting.

Bush Signs Bill To Take All Newborns’ DNA
Health Council, Congressman Ron Paul warn new law could pave the way for a national DNA database

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Friday, May 2, 2008

President Bush last week signed into law a bill which will see the federal government begin to screen the DNA of all newborn babies in the U.S. within six months, a move critics have described as the first step towards the establishment of a national DNA database.

Described as a "national contingency plan" the justification for the new law S. 1858, known as The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007, is that it represents preparation for any sort of "public health emergency."

The bill states that the federal government should "continue to carry out, coordinate, and expand research in newborn screening" and "maintain a central clearinghouse of current information on newborn screening… ensuring that the clearinghouse is available on the Internet and is updated at least quarterly".

Sections of the bill also make it clear that DNA may be used in genetic experiments and tests.

Read the full bill here.

One health care expert and prominent critic of DNA screening is Twila Brase, president of the Citizens’ Council on Health Care who has written a detailed analysis (PDF) of the new law in which she warns that it represents the first program of populationwide genetic testing.

Brase states that S.1858 and H.R. 3825, the House version of the bill, will:

Establish a national list of genetic conditions for which newborns and children are to be tested.
Establish protocols for the linking and sharing of genetic test results nationwide.
Build surveillance systems for tracking the health status and health outcomes of individuals diagnosed at birth with a genetic defect or trait.
Use the newborn screening program as an opportunity for government agencies to identify, list, and study "secondary conditions" of individuals and their families.
Subject citizens to genetic research without their knowledge or consent.
(Article continues below)

"Soon, under this bill, the DNA of all citizens will be housed in government genomic biobanks and considered governmental property for government research," Brase writes. "The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research."

"The public is clueless. S. 1858 imposes a federal agenda of DNA databanking and population-wide genetic research. It does not require consent and there are no requirements to fully inform parents about the warehousing of their child’s DNA for the purpose of genetic research."

In a previous report we outlined the consequences of the already existing DNA warehousing operation in Minnesota, a program that the Citizens’ Council on Health Care has been following closely for a number of years.

Ms. Brase explained in a statement last month that state Health Department officials are now seeking exemption for the so called "DNA Warehouse" from Minnesota privacy law. This would enable state officials to continue to take the DNA of newborn infants without consent, which would also set the precedent for nationwide policy on DNA screening.

DNA of newborns has already been harvested, tested, stored and experimented with nationwide.

The National Conference of State Legislatures lists for all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia, the various statutes or regulatory provisions under which newborns’ DNA is already being collected.

In addition, all 50 states are now routinely providing these results to the Department of Homeland Security.

The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007 merely establishes this practice within the law.

Another vocal critic of bill S. 1858 is Texas Congressman Ron Paul who made the following comments before the U.S. House of Representatives:

"I cannot support legislation, no matter how much I sympathize with the legislation’s stated goals, that exceed the Constitutional limitations on federal power or in any way threatens the liberty of the American people. Since S. 1858 violates the Constitution, and may have untended consequences that will weaken the American health care system and further erode medical privacy, I must oppose it."

Paul, a medical doctor himself continued, "S. 1858 gives the federal bureaucracy the authority to develop a model newborn screening program. Madame Speaker the federal government lacks both the constitutional authority and the competence to develop a newborn screening program adequate for a nation as large and diverse as the United States. …"

"Those of us in the medical profession should be particularly concerned about policies allowing government officials and state-favored interests to access our medical records without our consent … My review of S. 1858 indicates the drafters of the legislation made no effort to ensure these newborn screening programs do not violate the privacy rights of parents and children," Paul continued.

"In fact, by directing federal bureaucrats to create a contingency plan for newborn screening in the event of a ‘public health’ disaster, this bill may lead to further erosions of medical privacy. As recent history so eloquently illustrates, politicians are more than willing to take, and people are more than willing to cede, liberty during times of ‘emergency," he concluded.

UPDATE: Just a snippet of audio testimony of New World Order Shill Lonsberry censoring truth that the devil in hell does not want the populace to wake up to, as they sit foolishly trusting the wolves who have ravenously entered in among them, and who are seeking and even boast of “conspiring” against the United States and of being part of a “secret Cabal” in order to do so, as David Rockefeller has so stated. Here is an audio excerpt of a radio interview where Joe Ferguson, US Congressional Candidate in Utah tells of being cut off from his interview by Mr. Lonsberry when he began to speak of the North American Union. Why would Bob be afraid to let a candidate speak of such a thing and cut off the interview? Lonsberry once again shows his hand and unmasks some wolf fangs from behind his vestige of a sheep.

Whatever you think about Glenn Beck, and there is a lot to be desired
with him, he is right on the issue of our economy and the coming
collapse….

Hey, everybody.

Watch these two videos. They show the problem we face in stark detail. I
wish I could say that "All is well in zion, yea, zion prospereth," but
it is just not so. Ezra Taft Benson once said, "what I have to tell you
tonight is not pretty, but it is the truth."

I have been accused of being a "prophet of gloom and doom" but that’s OK
with me, as long as it helps my friends and family come to their senses
and see the truth. It is better to understand the world we live in than
to live in a fantasy world.

This financial house of cards we live in is coming to an end. No one of
the presidential candidates, except for Ron Paul, understands it. Look
at these videos and see what the comptroller of the U.S. is saying, it
is scary. No matter what happens in the coming election, I’m writing in
the name of Ron Paul because he knows what’s going on. I will vote for
principle, not personality or party. I hope y’all can come to the same
conclusion. Gosh! My Texas acclimatization is coming through. I hope I
never get the southern drawl.

I sincerely hope that those who don’t like what I have to say will look
at these videos for it just might help them understand what I’ve been
trying to say for a long time. If I sent these before, just chalk it up
to alzheimers. Please forward this to everybody on your email list.

Some proclaiming this one of the best interviews Dr. Paul has given, relaxed and articulate.

It is of note that Ron Paul’s book has been #1 on Amazon.com for 3 days in a row.  It will be listed in the New York Times at #7 in the next week, and will climb toward number 1 there too.

CNN reports some on the book.
