The struggle we are engaged in right now is of pivotal importance for this country. Whether we win or lose will determine the future of America. That struggle is not just for our lives, but more importantly it is for our children and our grandchildren.
Despair is not an option. I know you get angry, I know you get frustrated, I know you get disgusted. But we don’t have the right not to be involved.
Show your love for your ALEC legislator this Holiday Season.

It will be the topic of every conversation - how excited they will be - that they were remembered by you!

Quoted in the legacy membership brochure (a $5,000 legislator ALEC membership)
“The remarkable achievements of ALEC’s members... deserve much applause and recognition. Since 1973, ALEC members have been key leaders in state government, responsible for pioneering legislation inspired by the legacy of our honored Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson. For a quarter of a century, through advancing Jefferson’s ideas, you have been stalwart in your effort to revitalize the original American dream as intended by our Founders. ALEC members have helped reinforce my continuing optimism for the future of our great nation. ~ Newt Gingrich

Newt Gingrich was a good friend of Paul Weyrich the founder of the American Legislative Exchange Council.
Yes, THIS Paul Weyrich….. who doesn’t want regular folks like you and me to be able to vote.
Atrecent dinner honoring Paul Weyrich, two of the most moving tributes were given by Newt Gingrich and George Will. They really spoke to who the man was and the degree to which he impacted our politics. Both statements are well worth your time, so I have decided to post the full transcripts here. Please take the time to read them.
Newt Gingrich:
No single person, other than Ronald Reagan, has done more to create the modern Conservative Movement than Paul Weyrich. Paul Weyrich learned in the late ‘60s how the left was operating, what it was doing so effectively, and he methodically and systematically began applying those lessons to create a Conservative Movement which was inconceivable in the early ‘70s.
…But I can tell you from my experiences, going all the way back to 1976, that every time I had a chance to work with Paul Weyrich, I learned something new.
We accomplished a fair amount together. I’m not sure there could have been “Contract With America” without Paul Weyrich’s leadership. There wouldn’t be today a Heritage Foundation. There wouldn’t be today all the various things, that we’ve seen come to fruition, that are modern conservatism. So, Paul, I want you to know, as one of your fans, how much I believe you’ve contributed to America and how much I believe all of us owe you for the kind of freedom that we have and that our children will have because of your hard work, your deep faith, your courage, and your commitment.
2012 GOP presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich is outdoing his Republican rivals in promising enormous tax cuts for the very wealthiest Americans. According to an independent analysis by the Tax Policy Center, Gingrich’s plan would violate basic notions of fairness by requiring middle-class families to pay higher tax rates than millionaires.
But that’s not all that’s wrong with it. Gingrich’s plan is by far the most fiscally reckless plan to be released by a major 2012 contender. The magnitude of the tax cuts he is proposing to the wealthy and corporations would drive the debt to unprecedented and dangerous levels even if federal spending is cut drastically.
We MUST make sure that ALL ALEC state legislators are not re-elected.
We MUST make sure that ALL ALEC Alumni in Congress are not re-elected.
We MUST NOT elect or appoint any known ALEC member or Alumni to any public position in the city, county, state or federal government in the future.
Late last month, Wyoming state Rep. Bob Nicholas (R) was arrested following an incident where he kicked and beat his disabled son outside of a restaurant:
Nicholas explained his behavior by saying his son, who has a condition similar to autism, was being combative during lunch, and that he needed “corporal punishment.” He has no intentions of resigning. “I don’t think I committed a crime, so why would I?” he said.
What else has he done – that no one has seen
that he doesn’t consider a crime – but others would?
Wyoming - where men are men and kids are scared?????????????????
One of things that pisses me off about most privately owned corporations is they have NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. Their main concern is profit and maintaining costs - if a customer is inconvenienced they don't care.
Right now Congress is trying to kill the United States Postal Service - so ALEC members UPS and FedEx can take over the deliveries in the United States. (See my earlier post on this.)
I am expecting a package from UPS.
It is schedule to be delivered on Monday.
On Monday it will be below freezing in Minnesota.
My package and its contents will be frozen and destroyed.
Just now I called UPS and tried to change the delivery location on the package and they can not do it because the package has not been delivered.
Now tell me in todays computerized world why the address on a UPS package can't be changed while it is in route by UPS?
It makes no sense - it is just bad customer service.
They could do it - but they choose not to - becausetheycan.
