Please end the Presidents intervention in Libya's civil war!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), Congress directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from Libya by not later than the date that is 15 days after the date of the adoption of this concurrent resolution."  H.CON.RES.51.IH

Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced H.Con.Res.51, a resolution ordering President Obama to withdraw armed forces from the war on Libya. This resolution is scheduled for a House vote TOMORROW, Wednesday June 1.
There is bipartisan skepticism toward U.S. intervention in Libya's civil war. We strongly encourage you to tell your Representative and Senators to support this resolution using DownsizeDC.org's "Stay out of Libya" campaign.
The hard-wired message states, "Please end the President's intervention in Libya's civil war."
To this I added these personal comments, which you may borrow from or copy . . .

I support Rep. Kucinich's H.Con.Res.51, a resolution that directs the President to remove our military from Libya.
The President violated the Constitution and launched this war with no form of Congressional authorization whatsoever.
Even AFTER launching the war, the President has never explained how this war impacts U.S. security interests. Perhaps even the President realizes it is AGAINST our interests because .

Motivational Leadership By Brian Tracy.

Motivational Leadership
By Brian Tracy

Motivational leadership is based on The Law of Indirect Effort.
According to this law, most things in life are achieved more easily by
indirect means than they are by direct means. You more easily become a
leader to others by demonstrating that you have the qualities of
leadership than you do by ordering others to follow your directions.
Instead of trying to get people to emulate you, you concentrate on
living a life that is so admirable that others want to be like you
without your saying a word.

The Most Powerful Motivational Leaders
Perhaps the most powerful motivational leader is the person who
practices what is called "servant leadership." Confucius said, "He who
would be master must be servant of all." The person who sees himself
or herself as a servant to others and who does everything possible to
help them perform at their best is practicing the highest form of
servant leadership.

Libertarianism vs. Statism

All of us have been born and raised within a statist box, one in which the federal government’s primary roles are to take care of people, regulate their economic activities, and maintain an overseas military empire that intervenes in the affairs of other countries.

Both liberals and conservatives have come to accept this statist box as a permanent feature of American life. Even worse, they have convinced themselves that life in this statist box is actually freedom.

What makes libertarians different from liberals and conservatives is that, although we too have been born and raised within the statist box, we have broken free of it, in an intellectual and moral sense. Moreover, unlike liberals and conservatives, we recognize that statism isn’t freedom at all. It’s the opposite of freedom. Genuine freedom, libertarians contend, entails a dismantling of the statist box in which we all live.

Ban on Internet cafes among first bills filed for 2012 | The Florida Current

Scott Plakon R- Longwood, wants to ban Internet Cafe's, thats right want to ban internet cafes because they are not regulated and earn about $100,000 a week. I dont see a problem with that. I dont see the internet cafes running out and dragging people in against their free will. What ADULTS do is not of your concern,especially GOVERNMENT! As long as i'm not infringing or harming anyone else, i'm not doing anything wrong.Including YOU. Once again government is trying to make sure we behave and do what they say. Well this is one of the first bills posted for the 2012 legislation. HB3 is filed by Scott Plakon R- Longwood.

The Debt Ceiling needed to bring A Balanced Budget

Quote of the Day: "I have always believed that government had a limited capacity to do good and a virtually infinite capacity to do harm..." -- Neil Hamilton, Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom (Source: House of Commons debates, 8 February 1994)

Earlier this year, we thought we'd be willing to trade an increase in the debt ceiling for something of lasting value -- like a balanced budget amendment. We now think that's a strategic mistake.

The real strategic opportunity lies in the debt ceiling itself. As long as we maintain THAT, then nothing else needs to be done to balance the budget.

Dont worry Mr. Rubio, i won't hold my breath!

Thank you for contacting me in regard to the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Transparency Act. The economic crisis and its effects on our economy continue to be some of the biggest challenges facing our nation. As Florida's junior Senator, it is my priority to address these issues and achieve a successful transition to a fiscally sound state and nation. 

In response to the financial crisis of 2008, President Obama and a Democratic led Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (H.R. 4173). The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on July 21, 201, and imposes ill-suited and overreaching regulations on our financial system. Under Dodd-Frank, the Federal Reserve was supposed to become a more transparent entity; but these reforms have yet to improve transparency as the majority of the Federal Reserve's operations have continued to remain private. The Federal Reserve must be accountable to Congress and the public at large. 

The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011 (S. 202) would require an audit of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve banks before the end of 2012, conducted by the Comptroller General of the United States. The Comptroller General would then present a full report to Congress. This legislation aims to hold the Federal Reserve accountable for its decisions and force it to reveal its monetary policies; both are goals which I support. 

Should legislation related to the Federal Reserve come before the Senate for consideration, I will keep your thoughts in mind. Again, I thank you for your input and look forward to hearing from you again.

A Act for Endless Wars, hell no!

This week, the House will consider the annual "National Defense Authorization Act." (H.R. 1540)

As the letter below reveals, it contains an obscure section (Sec. 1034) so poorly worded that it could . . . 

 . . . create a permanent military dictatorship in the United States of America!

That's not hyperbole.

There are lots of other things wrong with this bill too, but it is CRUCIAL that this dangerous section be omitted.

I sent the following letter to my Representative and Senators using DownsizeDC.org's "I Am Not Afraid" Campaign.

The hard-wired letter to Congress begins:

I am not afraid of terrorism, and I want you to stop being afraid on my behalf. Please start scaling back the official government war on terror. Please replace it with a smaller, more focused anti-terrorist police effort in keeping with the rule of law.
