The "New" GOP and their Real Goal

This is not what most Montanans want, even if they consider themselves leaning Republican.  Their tactics to keep Ron Paul out of their way are luckily backfiring nearly everywhere – but they keep trying.  The latest is to keep Ron Paul off of the Montana Republican Primary Ballot!

If you act NOW, even if you are registered with a different party, you can do something about it!

Read this post from Dan Cox and David Hart!

If you are not in Ravalli County, just print the form(s) at the links (and if you gather signatures, make sure voters registered with any party are in the same Montana County).  Get your signed petitions to your County Elections Office by March 5, 2012!  Let’s DO IT!!

Put RON PAUL on the 2012 Montana Republican Primary Ballot!

Update!

Good news on this front! Seems that Montana will be the first state to address this issue! See http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/12/25/oath-keepers-launches-national-effort-to-recall-andor-remove-members-of-congress-who-voted-for-ndaa-military-detention-merry-christmas-u-s-congress/

“North Valley Pachyderm Club will meet Friday, October 15, 2010 at noon at The Frontier Cafe; HWY 93 in Stevensville. Our guests speakers will be Commissioners Greg Chilcott and J R Iman talking about the need for a Growth Policy and  Representatives Bob Lake and Gary MacLaren talking about ballot issues.”

From the Desk of Dan Cox:

The Growth Policy Repeal that stopped the unconstitutional ZONING is only good until Nov. 2nd. Starting November 3, 2010, you will most likely see a push to restart the zoning process.

Also from the Desk of Dan Cox:

The real reason I am running for office:

It has been claimed by some that I am running for office to help get Democrats elected.  This is far from the truth and immaterial, since the Republican incumbents in this valley vote so similarly you can hardly tell the difference between the two parties.   With the recent proposed zoning for Ravalli County, which was being financed  and pushed by out or state multi-national corporations, there was a huge stir among valley residents once  they became aware of how egregious and unconstitutional  the proposed zoning was. The plan was opposed by several different groups, each one claiming to have the best strategy to stop the unlawful taking of property rights with no compensation for those rights. My personal research led me to an altogether different solution, namely to repeal the growth policy. It was clear and simple to me that the law states that without a growth policy no zoning can be implemented.

The truth is that when I submitted the petition to repeal the growth policy, I was opposed by both Democrat and Republican elected officials.  It really started with Lee Foss; who was much more of a force against the repeal than even The Friends of the Bitterroot.  He did a good job touting anti-zoning rhetoric, but in fact he wouldn’t sign the growth policy repeal or gather signatures to get it on the ballot.  He instead helped start a group called CPR, which was lead by Dallas Erickson.  They wanted to only give a right to vote on zoning, not stop the anti-property rights agenda.  This was clearly a trick since if you vote on zoning everyone in the cities would also get to vote even though it was county only issue, a sure loss.  If you vote on the growth policy, only county residents who would fall under the zoning would get to vote on it, a sure win.   Interestingly, both of these gentlemen (Lee Foss and Dallas Erickson) stood in front of the Ravalli County Central Committee and pleaded with them to reverse their unanimous decision to support repeal of the growth policy. Furthermore, your property rights are God given and inalienable and set forth in the US Constitution and the Bill or Rights. They are not up to a vote. If you were able to vote another’s rights away, what would be to stop you from voting away the right to bear arms, free speech, or freedom of religion, etc.

The majority of the Ravalli County Republican Central Committee stood strong for your property rights, but the elected legislators and many others were opposed to protecting these rights.  The Democrat central committee was overwhelmingly for taking your property rights.  Most of the elected officials in both parties tried to coax everyone to stop the repeal, because it would hurt their election campaigns (not to mention most of them are for zoning).   If they won’t stand for your property rights why are they representing you, since they all refused to help gather signatures and not one of them would sign the Repeal of the Growth Policy petition?

As far as Republicans being fiscally responsible, it is far from the truth for most of them.  Go to www.miamontana.com see how they rated these legislators fiscally and see for yourself, as of 10/07/10 for the 2009 legislative session.  Here’s the short list from best to worst spending votes.

We all saw what happened in the Primary Election this year over 81% of all the voters voted on the Republican ticket.  Why? Because the Democrats all know that they have a hard time getting elected, so they run Democrats as Republicans.  Then a majority of the Democrats vote on the Republican Ticket and like magic most of the Constitutional Republicans get voted out in the primary.  So you may ask why I am running.  Simply because I believe one person can make a difference by giving you a real choice.   You have only two choices in this election: vote for the one party system that has let you down time and again, or vote to restore liberty and vote Libertarian.

If Sheriff Hoffman will allow this to happen when it is so clearly unlawful – what else is he capable of allowing – or doing?  It sure seems that when the chips are down that he will NOT uphold the Constitution, which is the FIRST duty a Sheriff is supposed to uphold.  The Citizens of Ravalli County deserve better, and Wayne Kelly would uphold the Constitution FIRST!!  Please VOTE November 2nd for the right choice!

Wayne Kelly for Ravalli County Sheriff T-Shirt

From Eva Melody (emphasis added):

“As I am sure all of you know, the election for Sheriff is coming up quickly.  The  Sheriff is very important to us here.  He is our defense and protector against the federal government–actually our last line of defense–and holds supreme power within the county. No one supercedes him in authority within the county.  That being said, it is up to us to do our best for ourselves and each other to get the ‘right’ man in place.

“Wayne Kelly has invested extensive time and personal expense to learn about the Constitution and the founding principles upon which this country was created and brought forth. He is committed, prudent, and selfless in his willingness to take on this important task for all of us with the goal of securing our safety and God-given rights.”

Besides the Democrats (due to “open” Primary in MT) voting for RINO’s so that their agenda is achieved regardless of who wins in November, this is mixed with a rather (voluntarily) uninformed public, who are unfortunately only capable of absorbing manipulated mainstream media exposure and picking from two choices: the Red Elephant “R” or the Blue Donkey “D” and nothing else. They haven’t noticed over the last 100 years, and especially in the last 40 years, that they are now the same party.

www.IVoteLibertarian.com/democratsstealelection.php

For those of you who need more education on why “R” and “D” are actually “F” or “C,” which are nearly the same thing (i.e. Statist) and obviously moving further away from the founding of our country, please read the following:

www.IVoteLibertarian.com/fascismvscommunism.php

Even better – for those of you convinced that “Republican equals Conservative” and then vote straight “R” all the way down the ticket, learn why indiscriminately voting “R” is ushering in the Statist regime even faster than by choosing “D.”

www.IVoteLibertarian.com/republicanpresidents.php

With few exceptions (Ron Paul comes to mind), it is really becoming a choice between “Retard” and “Dumb.”  And unfortunately, this describes the typical voter, not the politicians – as the politicians absolutely know what they are doing!  And that the majority of the population doesn’t even vote (due mostly to feeling powerless), this can even be a worse problem.

However, nearly everyone (whether they exercise their right to vote or not) is a taxpayer – and those smart, consuming (no, devouring) politicians look for many ways to get into your pocket and endlessly spend, so that they themselves (or their friends) don’t have to do any productive work, but live off of your back, while giving mere breadcrumbs to those they claim to be helping.  You think we would better monitor how our hard-earned money is spent, and when it is being squandered (stolen), to do something about it.

And while you are visiting, you may want to know what “L” for Libertarian actually IS!  While it sounds like the word “Liberal,” it is far from this – in fact, it can be more “conservative” than you may realize.  See where you are on this quiz.  Learn about the Constitution and Bill of Rights with 8 hours of excellent free video classes from 2004 Presidential Libertarian Candidate, Michael Badnarik – and watch his June 1, 2010 Presentation in Hamilton (about 75 minutes long).

Since RINO’s are now dominating the Republican ticket (again) – voting “L” for Libertarian locally in November is our only hope of getting our liberties, and our property, back!

How can we educate voters (or should I say, our neighbors)?  How can we inspire them to care to register to vote – and then to actually vote, and do so knowledgeably?  How can we feel like we really are making a difference?  It starts with us, and then we need to share with others, and then they feel inspired to also share with others, etcetera, etcetera.  Let’s DO THIS!!

Please visit the “Resources” page here, and VOTE in whatever way you can in November for real hope and change.  (And while you are at it, please vote yes to restore the Montana Grand Jury!)  Thank you!

First, we have some Montana Candidate information coming up.  For starters, we are enthusiastic for a REAL alternative to Denny Rehberg with Mark French! Take a look!  Later, we hope to post videos with candidate interviews, so you can easily review the candidates and their positions for yourselves – something the mainstream news doesn’t really allow us to do.

Please deeply consider the Libertarian platform when voting, since it is close to the model wanted in Montana, especially by those who identify with the term, “Ron Paul Republican.”  Visit IVoteLibertarian.com to learn more about the 2010 Ravalli County Libertarian movement, and sign up for email updates for upcoming events and activism.

Next, there is a Regional/National Event coming here in about a month!  As feature in the Daily Paul:

The Liberty Convention is being held for 2 full days and nights:  May 21-22, 2010 in Missoula, Montana at the Adams Center at the U of M!  Along with workshops and rallies, their featured speakers are Chuck Baldwin, Sheriff Richard Mack, Red Beckman, Gary Marbut, and others.  For more information, see the Ravalli-Bell.com website!

That’s all for now – more to come later!  Thanks all!

You would think at this point, he would just resign, out of utter embarrassment!  However, here is some more incentive to rid ourselves of this political parasite.

“Petition to Potentially Recall U.S. Senator Max Baucus, (D) Montana Petition”

http://www.petitiononline.com/fltp001/petition.html

Pass this link to everyone you know in Montana.  Thanks Jim and Gloria!

As we all know, everyone has had their utter concentration on the costly, inefficient and perhaps deadly Health Care Bill (ObamaCare) as of late.  The creators of this 2,000 page document will stop at nothing to cram this down the American throat, whether Americans want it or not.  Even the Americans who think they want it haven’t read it, and if they did:  they either have something themselves to gain from it, or they would vote against it.  Even Jon Tester has created a series of emails, pretending that the proposed Health Care would actually help Montanans, using isolated personal stories that are unfortunately void of the hard facts and the larger picture.

But today – the House slid a fast one on us.  They knew it too.

While Mr. Rehberg likely identifies himself as a Conservative, Montanans who consider themselves Liberty-oriented, be it anything from Libertarians to “Ron Paul Conservatives” as well as wide-ranging political affiliation descriptions; will be quite disappointed in this news:

He voted for extending the already-liberty-robbing Patriot Act today.

Here is the PDF link for the Bill HR 3326 to read for yourself – you need Acrobat Reader on your computer to read it.

Here is the Voting Results.  It is so sad there are only 34 Patriots, and how embarrassing that 23 of those were Democrat!  Shame on the Fake Republicans!

Liberty-minded Montana voters have had it up and over and beyond with Washington’s rhetoric of their “protection” of us, when what is practiced is the exact opposite of that.  We are tired of having our freedoms stripped away and constant invasions of our privacy.  We wonder – is Mr. Rehberg also in favor of the Real ID Act?

True Conservative voters need to take this into consideration at election time, as well as foster new candidate(s) who are about restoring our liberties, according to the US and the Montana Constitution – we cannot settle for less!

On a lighter note (or a darker note, depending on your sense of humor), yet another gem of a post entitled “Please Enslave Me!” from Anti-Tax Activist Larken Rose has been released – ENJOY!
