US Constitution and country ours to keep or lose, Benjamin Franklin
“Our Constitution is in actual operation; everything appears to promise that it will last; but nothing in this world is certain but death and taxes.” … Benjamin Franklin
Glenn Beck presented facts about Benjamin Franklin on his Fox TV show yesterday. Franklin was an amazing man and one of the key players in the formation and cohesion of this country. Although Franklin, as all members of humanity, was far from perfect, he did strive for near perfection. His message of hard work and frugality is timeless.

The Gettysburg Address
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” – Benjamin Franklin

CW – GB’s last few shows have been very educational.
PS – I only find fault with his last quote -“There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and more frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.”
I would have added “and vice versa”
For those who might be interested Rush Limbaugh seems to be getting married this weekend.

We have lost our Constitutional government because we relinguished control of our 4th Branch of government to crooked politicians.
When Patriots finally take the following steps, we can begin to regain control of our Government:
1) Find the CROOKED politicians in your City or Town that supported BO. Form a local County Grand Jury to investigate the CROOKED politicians.
2) Link these CROOKED politicians to crimes committed by the BO Campaign.
3) Charge CROOKED politicians and BO as co-conspirators in the commission of campaign crimes and you have a Criminal Case against BO that can be prosecuted in Court in your County Seat.
4) Of course, you add all the other Crimes that BO committed elsewhere to your INDICTMENT also. But to prosecute BO in your State you have to link him as a co-conspirator to crimes committed in your State.

Sheriffs in Red Counties in Tennessee should put out an APB for Albert Gore III. He knows about his dad’s involvement in bo’s CRIMES and he will testify against algore to stay out jail.

A top adviser to President Obama is the contact person within the White House for communications with the Free Gaza Movement over plans to challenge Israel’s blockade of the terrorist Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, according to a reputable source close to the Netanyahu government.

I just saw this. I don’t know if it’s legit or not (I still have my doubts abt RAP). So take it for what it’s worth. Just wanted to pass it on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It Is Coming – Bank Holiday, RAP – Not To Be Concerned —- David
Hello folks,
The “Bank-Holiday” Three Day Closing that we’ve been hearing About, to come – Is Here!
The world that I have, confirmed by another “very” reliable source is – Very Soon!
I replied to that statement – This Week? Say Possibly Monday? The Response was – – – Yes!
What this will mean:
The new Restore America Plan “mandated” gold backed currency, will be Circulated by the United States Treasury [NOT the FED!].
The new gold-backed currency, will be riding upon the new gold-backed One-Hundred Dollar Bill that you’ve already seen – will be Circulated!
The Exchange rate Will Be “Ten-FRN’s-To-One-New-Gold-Backed-Dollar”.
NOT To Be Concerned!!!
EXCEPT! – the grocery, other stores and gasoline stations “may” “Might” Close, to re-configure their computer systems and pricing to the new currency?
So, you may want to stock-up and fill-up, with enough bread and milk for 3-days!
Although you will seem to take a hit, on the exchange rate…
The New Currency Will Buy – So Much More!!!
Meaning, one-gallon of gasoline, will Revert-Back to twenty-six [.26] cents [gold or silver rate] per gallon!
Can you do the math?
In either case, get enough FRN’s out of the bank “today” [ATM’s] to last you for three days of basic necessities! You can exchange them when the bank re-opens….
Remember the “ATM’s” will NOT Work Either!!!
And the Wal-Mart computer’s probably won’t either!!!
Everything left in the banks, 401k’s, CD’s, Insurance Policy’s, etcetera, will be automatically converted for you!
Does this mean that the Federal Reserve is Gone?
Does this mean that the IRS is Gone?
Does this mean that all current “non-victim” criminal prosecutions and current imprisonment’s are Gone?
I Believe It Does!!!

“OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICAE ISSUE MORE URGENT THAN EVER”
By Joan Swirsky
Posted at:
http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/swirsky/100328
Excerpt:
“Now that the regime currently occupying the White House has bribed, threatened, intimidated, bullied, manipulated, and cut unconstitutional and illegal deals with Democrats in exchange for their votes for the totalitarian nightmare of socialized medicine, the subject of Obama’s missing birth certificate is more timely and relevant than ever — precisely because the ugly spectacle emphasized once again the degree to which Obama has arrogantly flouted, sneered at, and spit upon the U.S. Constitution, a document he and his handlers and henchmen clearly revile and are determined to shred and destroy.
The same contempt for the bedrock foundations of our country was apparent during Obama’s run for the presidency and his refusal to produce his birth certificate. It reminds me of the search I conducted in 2004 for my mother’s birth certificate, a non-negotiable prerequisite for her admission into a nursing home. Although she was born in a farmhouse in 1913 to immigrants who didn’t speak English, it took me only three phone calls and not more than 20 minutes to locate this valuable document. Unlike Obama, who was born — he says — in 1961, I didn’t pay nearly two million dollars to lawyers to fight the nursing home’s request.
To this day, Obama has failed to produce proof that he was born in the United States and that he is a natural-born American citizen, one of only three absolute requirements in the U.S. Constitution to become President of the United States. In fact, if Obama is not a natural-born American citizen, he is acting as president under false pretenses, which de facto makes every statement he has made as the usurper POTUS, every bill he has signed, every czar he has appointed, every act, proclamation, signing statement, executive order, and law, et al, fraudulent, illegal, and therefore null and void — including this unconstitutional healthcare so-called reform bill.
As I type, Mr. Hope & Change is working on granting citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants to further bankrupt the United States and thereby etch in stone a constituency that relies on free everything — and will therefore return the favor by voting Democratic in future elections. This will actualize his and the far-left’s goals of turning our democratic Republic into a Communist share-the-poverty facsimile of a Russian, Cuban, or Venezuelan state!
But that is not all: Obama is putting on the fast track the Cap-and-Trade scheme to tax every person in the U.S. every time he or she flushes the toilet, turns on a light, opens the refrigerator, drives a car — the list of penalties for merely living go on and on.
When this or that writer or commentator asks, “Doesn’t he realize X, Y, or Z?” — the answer is, of course he does! His entire raison d’être is to convert the country he hates — America — into the kind of socialist/communist/fascist country he clearly admires. Exhibit A is surely his serial embrace of foreign dictators and his undisguised hostility toward our most trusted allies.
How did this happen? As blogger Daniel Greenfield notes, Obama’s election “was not about what the people wanted. It was about his own victory by any means necessary. Hardly surprising from the man who began his political career by betraying and destroying his own mentor, climbed into the United States Senate over two sex scandals that were a product of his opposition research, and reached the White House through voter fraud, illegal campaign donations, and an owned media corps….Each win for Obama was another loss for fair and honest elections. And each time Obama won, it was not because the public decided he was the better man, but because the sheer array of dirty tricks, fraud, and media propaganda insured that no choices would be allowed.”
Today, there are few Americans, even Obama’s acolytes and fans, who now think he is a natural-born American or, for that matter, a Christian, as he pretended to be as a congregant for 20 years in his Chicago pastor’s Black Theology church. In short, black theology is Marxist doctrine: hate America, hate whitey, hate Jews, hate free-market capitalism, hate the U.S. Constitution. Here, he just about admits as much. From where I stand, that pretty well sums up Obama’s first 14 months in office.
THE USURPER-IN-CHIEF
At this point, every honest, decent member of Congress and the media, as well as ordinary citizens, knows that there was something putridly rotten about Obama’s election. Not just the billion dollars in campaign donations, most of which are still unaccounted for but known to have flowed from foreign donors, many of them enemies of America. And not just the missing mountains of qualifying data that all presidential candidates are expected to produce, including:”

Does anybody know which came first? The Constitution,or the Articles of Incorporation of the US. I was always taught that it was the Constitution. So it would seem to this old geezer that the Articles of Incorporation is ALL an illegal entity. Perhaps sombody will care to elaborate upon this question.

This is EXACTLY what is needed. Specific and verifiable predictions. Then we all the the ability to rationally decide if RAP has any power or ‘legs’ or not.

Lt. Col. Lakin’s Article 32 Hearing is not legitimate without an eligible Commander-in-Chief
LEGITIMACY OF HEARING MUST BE ESTABLISHED BEFORE IT CAN COMMENCE
by Catherine Whitfield
No orders can be followed if there is no Commander-in-Chief. Shouldn’t Lakin’s attorneys be asking, “By what authority is this hearing to be held?”
(Jun. 5, 2010) —Without a legitimate Commander-in-Chief, an Article 32 hearing cannot take place.
Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin has refused to follow orders until Barack Hussein Obama proves that he is constitutionally eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief. If Obama’s eligibility has not been established before the Article 32 hearing scheduled for Lakin on June 11, 2010, then it is illegitimate.
Even the officer delivering the charges to Lt. Col. Lakin did not have the authority to do so if Obama is not constitutionally qualified.
