John Hostettler declares candidacy for Senate
RELEASED
Date: Monday, December 7, 2009
In case you haven't heard the recent news, the purpose of our campaign has been accomplished. John Hostettler has announced his intention to run for Senate against Evan Bayh in 2010! Please watch his announcement here: http://www.youtube.com/johnhostettler And then go sign the petition here: http://johnhostettler.com/blog/
Needless to say, this is GREAT news! However, this is only the beginning of the larger effort of getting Congressman Hostettler elected to the Senate. And let's not underestimate how great a task that will be. He will need petitions with the signatures of at least 500 registered voters from each of Indiana's 9 congressional districts submitted by February just to have his name appear on the May Republican primary ballot. Then he will need to defeat the other Republican candidates in that primary, several of whom have already been in full campaign mode for some time now. After that will come the hardest challenge, winning a statewide general election against Evan Bayh, who already has enormous name recognition, a gargantuan amount of campaign funds, a peerless statewide network of supporters, a reputation (undeserved though it may be) of being a "conservative" blue-dog Democrat, and the confidence of knowing that the leadership of his national party will stop at nothing to make sure he beats Hostettler.
This will require all of us to do everything we can to help Hostettler at each stage of this challenge. He will need us to donate our money, our time, and our energy. So we urge you all to commit to those things. As far as our website is concerned, although we as independent grassroots activists will still continue to spread the word about Hostettler and do what we can to network and help one another do that, we will no longer attempt to serve as any kind of a central hub to coordinate the support of the Hostettler for Senate campaign, as we expect that his official campaign committee will take care of that. Please make a point to stay abreast of his campaign and how you can help.
As we stated when you signed our petition, we will pass along whatever contact information you provided us to that campaign (after which time you have our assurance that we will no longer keep your information or use it for any purpose). But, just to make sure they are able to contact you by whatever means they may need to, we urge you also to sign their petition at: http://johnhostettler.com/blog/
If you are on Facebook, you might also consider adding yourself as a fan on his official Facebook supporter page: http://www.facebook.com//johnhostettler
In addition we still have our unofficial grassroots John Hostettler for Senate Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=55158541316
Please use those websites as your means of keeping up with the campaign so that you will know when they set up a more complete campaign website suitable for taking donations, and so that you can learn of events they schedule and their needs for volunteers.
Most of all, our sincerest thanks to all of you for signing our petition. We don't know how much of a difference it made in Congressman Hostettler's decision to run. But whatever effect it had, it was worth it. You can know that you did something to advance the cause of freedom and constitutional government in these United States.

Travis Hankins for Congress
Tea Party Speech
http://travishankins.com/tea-party_071509.htm
Official Website
http://travishankins.com/index.htm
Friends, please go to the linke above. This man is amazing. It is awesome to have somebody running for Congress who understands the Constitution and his duty.
Here are his stances on key issues:
Sanctity of Life: "As your Congressman I will fight to:
-End Federal Funding for Planned Parenthood
-Stop Federal Funding and Practice of Destructive Embryonic Stem Cell Research
-Overturn Roe V. Wade
-Pass a Constitutional Human Life Amendment
I am 100% Pro-Life!
Life is sacred because we are created in the image of God. Yet today, abortion is the most common surgical procedure. Since the inception of legalized abortion by Roe v. Wade, over 50 million innocent unborn lives have been ended. Abortion not only destroys the lives of innocent children while causing life-long damage to their mothers, but it destroys the moral fabric of our society.
Life begins at conception. This is not a matter of faith, but a matter of fact. Embryology and medical experts agree that a new and unique human with its own distinct genetic code is formed at the moment of fertilization.
Enshrined in our Declaration of Independence are our inalienable rights endowed by our Creator, among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is evident that Life is the most foundational freedom Americans are granted by God. Government is instituted among men to protect our unalienable rights, none more important than our Right to Life.
I am committed to restoring the sanctity of Life and protecting life at every stage."
(http://travishankins.com/life.htm)
Taxes: "As your Congressman I will fight to:
-Make Tax Cuts Permanent
-Cut Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and Dividends Tax
-Implement Optional Flat Tax
-Flat Tax
- Abolish the income tax
- Abolish the IRS
Politicians are addicted to our money. They increase taxes as high as they think they can get away with. They tax every aspect of our life. Yet, that is not enough for them. They then raid our Social Security money and spend that. That is still not enough for them. They then borrow more money to spend and have the audacity to stick us with the bill. Even then it is not enough for the politicians. They then simply print more money to spend. Deficit spending is a hidden tax on us because it makes our money considerably weaker creating higher prices.
Everyone is willing to pay their fair share in taxes. For most, there is a real sense of pride to work hard and then pay a small share of their money to invest in the future prosperity of our nation. Americans take pride in seeing their tax dollars at work funding legitimate functions of our government such as national defense and safer roads."
(http://travishankins.com/taxes.htm)
War: "Peace through Strength"
"War is H***. War always must be the very last viable option. Not only do we lose a great deal of precious life and blood on the battle field; but at home we always lose some of our civil liberties.
War is a friend to big government and tyranny. Government always expands and increases its power in a time of War. The loss of Liberty that results is rarely reversed.
To ensure that we never needlessly go to War and that we preserve our freedom; we need to re-implement a couple of key concepts that have served us well in the past and will serve us well in the future.
The first is No Nation Building. The United States Armed Forces is for War. This may sound crude but our Military is for killing and breaking things. That is their proper role. Our military right now all across the globe are serving as security guards, policeman, farmers, construction workers, teachers, trainers, central planners, and aid workers. This is not their mandate. This is not what they should be doing.
I certainly understand the temptation to use our military to nation build. Our Armed Forces are made up of the finest people on Earth and we have the ability and the heart to use our military assets for humanitarian reasons. We can and do make a difference.
The problem is that when we focus our military on humanitarian missions and nation building; then we lose focus of our main objective which is destroying our enemy and protecting the United States of America. It would be nice to be able to do both nation building and protecting the United States but the reality is that we simply are not capable of accomplishing both objectives. We must realize that we cannot solve all the world's problems.
We must refocus our efforts on making our Armed Forces combat ready. We are spread too thin and we are in too many countries. When we try and use the armed forces for nation building, it ultimately weakens our national security and creates more problems than what we started with.
We are too politically correct when it comes to war. We are so afraid of the tag "occupiers" that we start nation building before we have even won the war and as a result we STILL have not secured the peace. In Afghanistan for example we wanted to put an Afghan "face" on the War by putting our Afghan allies in the lead. We were ordered to have our Afghan allies with us at all times in the hunt for Bin Laden and when we caught him we were to hand his body to the Afghans so they could claim credit. We were desperate to make it seem that this was Afghanistan vs. Al-Qaeda and that we were there just helping our allies. We didn't want to claim sole ownership of the War and we paid the price. We had Bin Laden surrounded and our Afghan allies then turned on us, arranged a traditional cease fire with Bin Laden and he escaped the Tora Bora mountains and into Pakistan. Our unfortunate desire for playing politics has cost American lives in the 2004 Battle of Fallujah, dealing with the Mahdi Army, dealing with the Sunni uprising, and dealing with Iran, etc…
If we had not had this politically correct attitude then both Wars would have ended 5 years ago. The War or Terror is our War. It is our job and responsibility to engage and defeat our enemy.
We are too risk adverse. It seems we go to war then we do not want to get our hands dirty. The over reliance of proxies in Iraq and Afghanistan has prolonged both wars and weakened our National Security. You can't fight war without risking American lives. If there is a job that needs to be done then we must be ready and willing to do it ourselves. We do a huge disservice to our men in harms way when we make them rely on a proxy. We must quit thinking we can take cheap shortcuts. War is not cheap and it is not easy. Do it right, responsibly, and quickly or do not do it at all.
Even our special forces have been afflicted with this no risk mentality. During the battle of Tora Bora, a unit of the 5th Special Forces Group from Ft. Campbell, KY were within a couple miles of where Bin Laden was sighted yet they were ordered by higher ups not to engage the enemy, but simply to observe. We instead relied on our Afghan "allies" and air power and the job did not get done.
We are too bureaucratic. We have huge problems with layers of bureaucracy and chain of command. We need to reform our military and make it lean and efficient. Many commanders lack the equipment and spare parts that are needed to be combat ready."

In the Confidence of Angels
"Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question."
-Thomas Jefferson
These next three clips are of Judge Andrew Napolitano. In this clips Judge Napolitano lays out the intrusions we face, the battles fought and won, and the battles that must still be fought and won.

Is that a dollar in your pocket or two cents?
[Note the number of Congressmen who attended the hearing. Congressman Frank is the chairman, to his left is the Democratic caucus for the House Finacial Services Committee; nobody is present.]
Towards the middle of the segment below the Fed representative, Scott Alverez states, "monetary policy... has to be as free as posible from political consideration." To you and me, Mr. Alverez is saying the policy of values is not a our (public) concern. Huh! Its funny to think, for thousands of years people have bartered, traded, established political, monetary and cooperative agreements only to be brought into submission by the Fed. Daily independent (code word for "secret") desicions of the few, part time government employees with corporate and political interests, are to be trusted with our money.
Members of the Fed prove by their vary actions they are motivated by political interest. The Fed is a tool and motivator descined in secrete by Woodrow Wilson and several bankers with national interests to usurp the authority of the U.S. Congress. Friends this is a social pang decigned to undermind the very liberties you value.
YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT and YOU have the right to know what is going on. Fight for this bill and similar legislation. I urge you even if you do not believe their are political motivations behind what the Fed is doing to fight to know what the Fed is doing and how they are doing it. Consider the Fed as a stranger you have met on the road, you have given them your wallet, and you have given them the right to tell you how much money you have. That is a lot of power. They can make your dollar bill worth a dollar or two cents without your knowledge, without Congress' knowledge, without the GAO's knowledge.
Scary.

Don't Tread on Me
On 9/12, hundreds of thousands of Americans (maybe more) joined together in Washington D.C. to protest the destructive nature of our national government. Many protestors dawned the slogan "Don't tread on me." Enclosed below is a condensed history of those tried and true words.
Benjamin Franklin first attributed the American people with the rattlesnake when he penned a satirical commentary suggesting as a way to thank the Britian for their policy of sending convicted felons to America, the colonists should send rattlesnakes to England.
Later, Franklin sketched, carved, and published the first known political cartoon in an American newspaper. It was a snake cut into eight sections. Each section representing a colony or a grouping of colonies along the American coastline. Beneath the snake were the ominous words "Join, or Die." The purpose for the cartoon was to illustrate the need for the colonies to unite for the common defense during the French and Indian War.
Before to the battle of Bunker Hill, Congress commissioned the Navy and a detachment of Marines to commendere a British ship carrying weapons and amunision. As the Marines marched off Franklin noticed the Marines carrying drums, each yellow and a picture of a timber rattler on it. From the scene Franklin wrote the following observations:

As the Marines marched off Franklin noticed the Marines carrying drums, each yellow and a picture of a timber rattler on it. From the scene Franklin wrote the following observations:
"I observed on one of the drums belonging to the marines now raising, there was painted a Rattle-Snake, with this modest motto under it, 'Don't tread on me.' As I know it is the custom to have some device on the arms of every country, I supposed this may have been intended for the arms of America."
"The Rattle-snake is found in no other quarter of the world besides America."
The rattlesnake also has sharp eyes, and "may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance."
"She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her."
"I confess I was wholly at a loss what to make of the rattles, 'till I went back and counted them and found them just thirteen, exactly the number of the Colonies united in America; and I recollected too that this was the only part of the Snake which increased in numbers."
"'Tis curious and amazing to observe how distinct and independent of each other the rattles of this animal are, and yet how firmly they are united together, so as never to be separated but by breaking them to pieces. One of those rattles singly, is incapable of producing sound, but the ringing of thirteen together, is sufficient to alarm the boldest man living."

Congressman Pence's Response to "Cap and Trade"
Below is the response I received from Congressman Pence regarding the "Cap and Trade" legislation that passed the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year.
I appreciated Congressman Pence's opposition to the legislation. This legislation will trample the individual liberties of Americans by preventing them from determining what is right for their individual industries, neighborhoods and households.
I continue to be concerned by the stance members have taken on both sides of the isle in regards to Global warming and environmental policy. Many whom I had hoped would not give up fighting the propaganda of "Global warming", have. Proposing changes from the top down with flawed presuppositions will only cause the worst kind of economic and moral decline.
-------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Wamsley:
Thank you for contacting me regarding proposals to curb the emission of greenhouse gasses, including "cap and trade." It was a pleasure to hear from you.
On February 26, 2009, President Barack Obama released the first budget proposal of his administration that called for a 14% reduction of 2005 greenhouse gas levels by 2050. A "cap and trade" system essentially puts a price on greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon "credits" would be auctioned off by the Climate Change Credit Corporation that could then be bought, sold, exchanged, or transferred under the guidance of the Carbon Market Efficiency Board. Revenue from the sale of these carbon "credits" would then be used to fund low-carbon energy development, as well as an incentive program for advancing vehicle fuel technology.
The "cap and trade" approach is a proposal that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by requiring producers to purchase carbon credits for any emissions beyond the cap. Forcing businesses to purchase carbon credits for everyday energy activity imposes a burden upon both consumers and businesses. This would lessen the incentive for doing business in America. At a time where many businesses are shrinking and shedding jobs, I fear this policy would cause the departure of more American jobs to countries with less stringent regulations.
This, in turn would cause the plan to fail to achieve the goal of protecting the environment. Countries such as China and India, both of whom have relaxed environmental laws and a growing workforce will stand to gain the manufacturing jobs that will be pushed out of the United States. This would essentially negate any possible emissions reductions by transporting pollution to another part of the world.
In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, President Obama stated that under a "cap and trade" plan, electricity rates would skyrocket, as the costs associated with such a policy would be passed on to the consumer. According to an April 2007 study by MIT, a "cap and trade" policy would cost each American household more than $3,000 each year. With American families having to stretch their budgets just to make ends meet, I do not believe we should enact policies that will result in additional taxes for every household. According to the Energy Information Administration, Indiana would be one of the hardest hit states in the nation because 94 percent of our energy comes from fossil fuels.
While this plan may have been crafted with good intentions, it clearly does more harm than good. The onerous costs that will result from this legislation will only push unemployment up further as small businesses and factories will be forced to cut jobs and even close their doors for good. Those businesses and factories that survive will do so only by passing their increased energy costs onto consumers, forcing them into a bigger financial burden.
I believe that there is a better way forward. We can protect our environment without punishing those in the Midwest and other parts of the country that depend heavily on fossil fuels. We can work towards a cleaner atmosphere while still promoting economic growth and job creation. And we can be good stewards of the Earth without imposing a national energy tax on almost every Hoosier.
The best way forward is an "all of the above" energy solution which produces American energy made by American workers while encouraging greater efficiency, conservation, promoting the use and development of alternative fuels and allowing for increased use of clean and safe nuclear energy which does not emit carbon. This plan would create jobs, grow the economy and move our nation in the direction of energy independence.
Again, thank you for contacting me. It is an honor to serve in the United States House of Representatives and have the benefit of your advice. If you would like more information on this or any other issue, please visit my website at http://mikepence.house.gov.

Peter Schiff Beautifully Lays Out The Problem With Health Care
This just shows that the President and Congress have not smartly thought this thing through, or for that matter, they probably haven't thought about it at all. All of their ideas are high end and don't even get at the true problem. The only way you are going to find a smart solution is to find the problem.
In this clip Peter Schiff does an excellent job drilling down to the problem and providing good evidence to prove his point.

Sen. Lugar's Response to H.R. 2454
Friends,
Below is a response I recently received from Sen. Lugar concerning H.R. 2454. I appreciate and support his stand against the bill. The only exception I would make towards his response is that I do not believe nor deem it legal that Congress regulate or legislate climate control in any form.
Thank you,
Sam Wamsley
Senator Lugar's Response is enclosed below:
Dear Mr. Wamsley:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the issue of climate change. I appreciate this opportunity to respond.
On June 26, 2009, the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, also known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. I oppose this legislation as it is an extraordinarily expensive bill with very little positive impact on our environment.
The House bill requires greenhouse gas emissions be reduced by 17 percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050 from 2005 levels. To accomplish these goals the legislation would create a tradable system of credits or permits that allow an entity to generate greenhouse gasses. These credits would be allocated according to past emissions as well as auctioned. Over time, the total number of credits would be reduced.
On a related note, I also oppose any effort by the Environmental Protection Agency to unilaterally regulate greenhouse gases without Congressional legislative approval.
While I do believe that Congress must address the issue of climate change, the solutions must be realistic and sustainable and also mindful of our current economic conditions. I will continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate on this important issue. Again, thank you for contacting me.
Sincerely,
Richard G. Lugar
United States Senator

USDA’s Mandatory Program Infringes on American’s Rights
By Sam Wamsley
As a former staffer of a U.S. Congressman Mike Sodrel (IN09), I followed and have continued to follow the progress of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). The program was developed with the overlaying intentions for tracking the movement of all livestock and exotic animals for recreation, domestic use and commercial sale. Underneath, it is a poorly thought out and dangerous program designed to dissolve the property rights, privacy rights, religious rights, and the agricultural foundation of America heritage.
The USDA’s National Animal Identification System (NAIS), if made mandatory, will require computer tracking chips to be placed on animals from your daughter’s horse, to every child’s 4H project, to the local home grown farmer down the street who raises beef for his family.
Along with the tracking chip, owners would have to register an animal’s location with the government and update the government within 24 hours of the animal’s movement off of the registered land, or if the animal goes missing, dies or losses its tracking chip. In essence hundreds of thousands of equestrians would be limited to their back yard because of bureaucracy.
The NAIS is at best a feel good program that will do virtually nothing to safeguard animal health, its alleged purpose.
• Rather, NAIS will drive small farms, ranches, family businesses, and Amish and Mennonite communities out of business.
• The program will increase our vulnerability by reducing options for decentralized local foods, by expanding the roll of inhumane corporate farms.
• It will destroy personal property rights. The program considers all chipped animals as part of the “national herd,” and indicates the government’s vision is that no one will be allowed to own animals or do anything with them without the government’s permission.
• It will destroy personal privacy rights. The infrastructure whose price will be born by the tax payer and animals owners will allow the government to conduct a large-scale computer aided surveillance of U.S. citizens under the guise of public health. Imagine, through this program the government will learn your movements, your business dealings, your family practices and habits, your religious customs and beliefs and you will be forced to sacrifice your personal privacy, which is your right, just so you can own an animal.
• This program will open new vulnerabilities to our national security. Not only will the top 5-10% of corporate farms own the majority of the of the nations food supply, over crowding animals in inhuman stock yards making the animals more susceptible to disease and poisoning but also the advent tracking chips will expose our nations livestock to a whole new type of attack, hackers.
• Lastly, NAIS will carry with it a price tag and expansion of government that can only be borne by the consumer through food costs, owner in farming costs and taxpayer due to administrative costs.
No program with so little promise should be worth the disintegration of civil liberties, exposure to disease, high cost/low value and bureaucracy. Urge your U.S. Representative and Senator to put an end to this program. Show your support for your Rights, local food and farms, and the human treatment of animals. Attend the USDA’s Listening Session in Louisville, KY on Friday, May 22, and voice your opinion. You can preregister at http://farmandranchfreedom.org/content/federal-updates.
