Interesting mail today. I received a mailing from the Office of The Governor, State of Iowa. This mailing is a new initiative called "Own Your Future". This is an initiative by the Federal Govt and State of Iowa. The purpose of this initiative is to encourage people between the ages of 45 & 65 to begin planning for their long-term care. They offer a free kit that can be ordered, called a Long Term Care Planning Kit, which was created by the US Dept of Health & Human Services.
The website provided a link www.longtermcare.gov/campaign/ia
I checked this out and basically it seems be all good but of course there is the end of life discussions. Surprise. Is this the new watered down version of the VA Booklet that the DHS has been giving to our Veterans? I am not a veteran so it seems this is going public.
It is disgusting the way this admin is and has been treating our veterans. The veterans know more about hard work and sacrifice than any of those thugs and thieves in DC.
Just thought I would share my interesting mail today. If you are able to find out any more info about this, like, is this every state doing this or just Iowa, let me know.

Voting Rights to ex-felons?
Time for some ramblings.... Just browsing some legislation that has been introduced and came across H.R. 59- Ex-Offenders Voting Rights Act of 2009, introduced by none other than the infamous Sheila Jackson Lee with co-sponsors William Clay, Danny Davis, and Alcee Hastings.
Basically requires a correctional officer inform a convicted felon within 30 days after release from jail. I guess the democrats are looking for new voters. I thought if a person was a convicted felon they lost all rights. But as it is, they get their gyms, healthcare, cable, phone, computer and education all at the taxpayers expense most likely after we pay for their attorneys and court costs to put them behind bars. Additionally, this bill grants the Federal Gov't authority over the states. It specifically prohibits "a state from enacting any state law that affords the right to vote in any election for federal office on terms less restrictive than those terms established by this Act". There goes yet another states' rights issue. Currently, the bill is in House Committee on the Judiciary. Members of this committee include Rep. John Conyers, Rep Lamar Smith, Rep Tammy Baldwin, Rep Howard Berman.
There are 435 house seats up for re-election in 2010. We need to clean house so to speak. There are at least 34 Senate seats. Additionally, Joe Biden's senate seat up for grab since the appointed Senator to fill in for him is not running.
Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments.

House Votes to Give FDA Greater Powers
Yet another bill that would give the Food and Drug Administration new powers over our food supply has been introduced and passed in the House of Representatives. This new bill, known as the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 (H.R. 2749), was passed on July 30 by a vote of 283-142.
H.R. 2749 is just one of several bills in Congress that would expand the powers of the FDA. What are the differences between one bill and another? Anyone's guess is as good as another! This bill, like many others, was literally rushed through the voting process leaving House members little-to-no time to read, debate, or offer any significant amendments on the legislation.
A recent blog post on JBS.org stated, "One version [of H.R. 2749] was introduced at 12:15 a.m., one at 9:36 a.m., and 10:50 a.m. on Wednesday morning. By Thursday the bill was again on the table, this time with the option that representatives could offer amendments. One was offered. No action was taken on it, which leaves the question, again, how many representatives voting on this stealth bill actually read it."
Much like the previously reported H.R. 875, or other legislation that would further federalize our food supply, H.R. 2749 would threaten the livelihood of small farms and other food producers by placing costly and burdensome restrictions on the companies and potentially forcing them out of business.
Opponents of the bill argue that small farmers and local vendors would be held to the same standards of multinational companies. This would place heavy restrictions on anyone hoping to sell their products to consumers who frequent farmer's markets, fruit stands or other venues of that nature.
Use The John Birch Society's legislation alert system to write your Senators and urge them to oppose H.R. 2749 and any other legislation that would centralize our food system.

What Country is this?
These past couple of weeks we have seen the US Govt, ie Owe Bama, use Federal Resources to target private citizens because of their dissension of Owe Bama politics, Owe Bama using Federal Programs to collect info, take control of privately owned computers, and our Senators snubbing We the People, because we are sick & tired of their thievery, their lies, and their greed for power and somehow can not believe WE THE PEOPLE are standing up! Outrageous. It is like they are deliberately poking their fingers in our eyes to outrage us just a little bit more and a little bit more. They want us dissenters to do something stupid so they can declare martial law and take away weapons. I personally am in disbelief this is happening to our country right before our eyes, it sickens me and worries me for what is to come for this country and our people.
The media is complicit in the socialist, marxist takeover of this country and as such should be held responsible. We should boycott the media sources who are not being truthful and call them and let them know, You are a real person, who is not bought & paid for (like ACORN, SEIU, and the Dem. Party)

It is interesting to note that our representatives cant take the heat then they shouldnt be representing us. I am assuming they can not handle being outside the beltway and seeing actual real human beings not other political cronies and they have been office too long, time for them to come home and face the music. If they dont hold townhalls, we should organize and visit their local offices.

Bills Introduced
Here is a list of some of the bills of note that have been introduced in congress just recently.
Jul 24, 2009
Rep. Rodney Alexander [R-LA5] introduced H.Con.Res. 169: Expressing a sense of Congress that a government-defined or public option insurance plan should not be used to fund abortion and taxpayer-funds should not be used to provide abortion under a benefit package within any health care reform package.
Jul 24, 2009
Rep. Neil Abercrombie [D-HI1] introduced this bill.
Jul 24, 2009 - Bill Action
Rep. John Conyers [D-MI14] introduced this bill.
Sen. Mark Pryor [D-AR] introduced this bill.
It is truly amazing what these dimwits are doing. Granted there could be some good legislation going on, hard to find. If you like the bills being introduced call your congressman and give him/her support. Otherwise, if you don't like what is in the bill please contact your representatives and spread the word around.
We have to watch everything "those people" do and get the word out. This is truly the only way to effect change. It wont be immediate but I can bet that the representatives are freaking out a little bit with the pressure we have put on them so far.
So that brings us 9/12. On 9/12 there is going to be a large rally in Washington DC, for lovers of this country and defenders of the constitution. Left, right, in between or what have you. Check out the 912 website for more details. If you cant make it to Washington DC for the rally, check with your local/state 912 orgs as they might have something planned somewhat locally. We need to RALLY and RALLY now!! Start making your plans!
