RedState Morning Briefing

For June 2, 2011

1. If the Republican Presidential Candidates Won't Lead on This, What Will They Lead On?

It would be unfair to say that the Republican Presidential candidates have not weighed in on the debt ceiling. Most, if not all, have in passing mentioned the issue.

But the time for mentioning the issue in passing is over. The Dow Industrials have fallen. The Fed wants to print more money. Obama is gutting NASA's space mission to socialize healthcare and fund global warming nonsense. And Republicans on Capitol Hill are hinting loudly that they will raise the debt ceiling, but they want a big show of something first.

Obama is prepared to wait them out and blame them. No one seems to have their back. And the congressional Republicans will, as sure as the sun will come up tomorrow, go wobbly. They just will. It is what they do.

So it is time for the Republican Presidential candidates to start forcefully and constantly demanding bold change in exchange for the debt ceiling increase.

2. How Many Male Semi-Pornographic Pictures Does Anthony Weiner Have on His Blackberry?

Anthony Weiner is now offering up this to CNN.

"'It certainly doesn't look familiar to me, but I don't want to say with certitude to you something that I don't know to be the certain truth,' Weiner told CNN in an interview."

If Anthony Weiner cannot "say with certitude" that it was a picture of him on twitter, how many other men's lower waists with erect appendages does Anthony Weiner have on his blackberry? After the last 48 hours, it is a bridge too far to say the picture did not come from Anthony Weiner.

He says he won't talk further about the case to protect his wife. They've only been married about a year.

It is increasingly clear that Anthony Weiner is a pervert and if he is protecting his wife, it is to protect her from the truth that she is married to a cad.

3. Case Closed? Leftblog Claims Definitive Proof Weiner Was Framed.

Case closed? Not so much. There is a post up at a the blog Cannonfire today titled: CASE CLOSED! CONGRESSMAN WEINER WAS FRAMED! Tweets of this article are blowing up on the #p2 hashtag on Twitter, and many blogs in the leftosphere are beginning to cite it, including Little Green Footballs and DailyKos diaries section.

The post claims to definitively prove that Rep. Weiner could not have sent the now infamous underwear photo that is causing him so much trouble this week.

"It had to have been sent by someone else."

Had. To.

4. Reform on the Ropes in Louisiana

Although he has not kept a national profile as high as that of some other Republican governors like Chris Christie or Scott Walker, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has been quietly and competently reforming state government in Louisiana since his election. Jindal has successfully reduced bottom-line spending in Louisiana by 26% since he took office, an impressive accomplishment in its own right. However, Governor Jindal recognizes that merely cutting spending is not enough; in order to make a lasting change on the size of Government's footprint, spending cuts must be accompanied by reforms that change both the manner and extent to which the government provides services. Many of these reforms, which have been carefully planned out and in the works for years, are coming to a head right now during the current Louisiana legislative session. Given that Republicans in Louisiana have finally taken control of both chambers of Louisiana's legislature, one would hope that Jindal's reforms - which read like a lengthy wish list for long-time conservative activists - stand a good chance of passing.

However, due to some reticent Republicans in the Louisiana House, substantially all of Jindal's reform agenda is now in danger. Sadly, it appears that Republicans may be preparing to shoot themselves in the foot in Louisiana and blow yet another golden opportunity to reform the way government works, choosing short-sighted temporary cuts over meaningful, long-term reform.

5. The Sprint/George Soros argument on AT&T/T-Mobile makes no sense

Regular readers of my Tech at Night series have seen me make the case for the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile USA by pointing out how it would improve competition because the two companies combined could compete better with 4G networks like Verizon and the combined Sprint/Clearwire.

But there's a more basic reason than that to oppose any government meddling in the deal, as proposed by Sprint Nextel itself, as well as George Soros/OSI-funded front groups like Public Knowledge or Free Press. Both a Constitutional and a common sense approach would be not to intervene unless we have good reason. And the reason for intervention given by the radical left, as well as by competitors like Sprint, just doesn't make sense.

Put simply, the AT&T/T-Mobile deal cannot simultaneously hurt Sprint and give AT&T price setting power, especially not when the Sprint/Nextel deal had the opposite effect on prices.

6. Mike Haridopolos Needs To Put Whatever He Uses On His Hair Into His Spine

This is embarrasing.

Yesterday morning, Haridopolos got thrown off a Florida radio show for going wobbly on the Paul Ryan Medicare plan, including not wanting to say yes or no on whether he supports it.

Then, his campaign issued a press release, which you can read below the fold. The key nugget of which is this line, "I absolutely support the goals of the Ryan Plan to cut federal government deficit spending and applaud Rep. Ryan's bold leadership in putting forth an intelligent and serious plan to tackle the largest issue confronting our nation." That line is subsequently repeated in the 222 words.

In between the repetition is this: "While I support almost every provision of the Ryan Plan, I believe that it must be amended to provided greater protections for Seniors."

After all that, Haridopolos is now a solid "no" on the Ryan plan, claiming he'd vote against it.

7. This Week's Horse Race

It's been a few weeks since I've done one of these. A lot has happened since then.

Let's get started and, again, we'll go in alphabetical order.

Just note that I'm putting Sarah Palin and Rick Perry outside the list, since they are just speculation right now and I want to deal with them first, above the fold.

• Hezbollah - created by Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards in 1982 to export the Islamic revolution to the Arab world - receives financial, ideological and armed support from Iran and from the Islamic republic's Alawite allies in Syria, who share Tehran's interest in pressuring Israel.
• The organization was particularly useful in the days of the civil war when Lebanon was overrun with warring militias and crawling with U.S., Israeli and French security forces along with Palestinian Liberation Organization fighters
• Though Iran highly values Hezbollah's physical threat to Israel Tehran's big question as it charges forward with its nuclear campaign is whether the Israeli government will consider Hezbollah a serious factor when it comes time for Israel to decide between rocket attacks from Lebanon and the larger threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.

Where Obama is leading Israel

By CAROLINE B. GLICK , JPOST 

Our World: Since his policy speech, president has taken a series of steps that only reinforce sense that he is most hostile US leader Jewish state has ever faced.

In the aftermath of US President Barack Obama's May 19 speech on the Middle East, his supporters argued that the policy toward Israel and the Palestinians that Obama outlined in that speech was not anti-Israel. As they presented it, Obama's assertion that peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians must be based on the 1967 lines with agreed swaps does not mark a substantive departure from the positions adopted by his predecessors in the Oval Office.

But this claim is exposed as a lie by previous administration statements. On November 25, 2009, in response to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's acceptance of Obama's demand for a 10-month moratorium on Jewish property rights in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, the State Department issued the following statement:

Muslims Stone 19 Year Old Ukrainian Girl to Death

Should Ukraine Regulate the Practice of Islam?
by Bill Levinson

Beauty queen Katya Koren stoned to death by Muslims for being in pageant

A would-be teen beauty queen was stoned to death after her participation in a Ukranian pageant reportedly infuriated local Muslim youths.

Katya Koren, 19, was targeted by three fellow teens who said her seventh-place finish in the beauty contest was a violation of Muslim laws, according to British newspaper reports.

This is a strong argument for the regulation of the practice of Islam in Ukraine or elsewhere. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom to commit murder under color of religion. Even in the United States, a strong argument could be made that advocacy of replacement of the Constitution by Sharia law, violence, misogyny, and so on are no longer a religion but purely secular activities that can be banned or regulated, and certainly not deserving of 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.

We are coming to the point where we believe that the...

Syria to Become Iranian Vassal or Saudi Ally

By Ted Belman

While Robert Fisk writes that Israel prefers the devil it knows in Syria,
Robert Rabil and Walid Phares writing in American Thinker, are silent on the matter. It seems to me that Israel should be backing the rebels in a de facto alliance with Saudi Arabia to thwart Iran.

But, most ominously for the protest movement in the time being is the emergence of Damascus as the battle grounds for Iran to re-assert its regional authority and policy. Tehran can ill afford the loss of the Syrian regime as a regional ally and a nodal point for its projection of power and deterrence strategy against Israel. Hezb'allah, Iran's proxy militia, can also ill afford a regime change that may put the Islamist party far out on a limb by severing the overland weapons supply from Tehran and denying the party Syria's strategic depth. In his recent speech, Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezb'allah, asserted that "the downfall of the Asad regime is an...

Who cares in the Middle East what Obama says?

Yes I know Fisk is extremely anti-Israel and distorts everything about Israel. But he is a student of the ME and in this article he seems to know a few things. He thiks the Arabs are "demonstrating and fighting and dying for freedoms" and should be supported. He faults Obama for not doing so. True to form, he calls settlements, "internationally illegal Jewish colonies built on land stolen from Arabs in one of the biggest property heists in the history of "Palestine"" and faults Obama for accepting demographic changes.

President Obama has shown himself to be weak in his dealings with the Middle East, says Robert Fisk, and the Arab world is turning its back with contempt. Its future will be shaped without American influence

BBC and Guardian's Agenda of Denying Jewish Rights to All of Jerusalem

Laura: The despicable scoundrels of the BBC and Guardian once again are all too eager to give voice to the lies and historical revisionism as told by the fakestinians. It is now no longer enough to erase Jewish history and deny the Jewish people their right to the eastern part of Jerusalem, but now the denial of Jewish rights to the entirety of Jerusalem is being advanced. The British media along with most of the rest of the left-wing western media has made its choice to back those who wish to obliterate the Jewish homeland and perpetrate another Jewish genocide.

A women's rights activist, Manal al-Sharif, spent the past week in jail, until being freed Monday, for posting a video on YouTube of herself driving in Saudi Arabia. The video was part of an online campaign encouraging Saudi women to take to the diver's seat in defiance of a restriction on female drivers in the country.

The edict banning women from driving is just one of numerous constraints placed on women in Saudi Arabia and in the Muslim world at large.

For the past several months, we have watched citizens of the Arab World struggle for fundamental rights and freedoms in revolutions that have brought about immense change. But what about change for Muslim women? When will rights and freedoms be granted to them as well?

 2011-05-31

 Two Iraqis living in Kentucky have been charged with building roadside bombs when they lived in Iraq that targeted U.S. soldiers and with trying to provide weapons to al-Qaida fighters in Iraq once they got to the United States.

The two were admitted to the country as refugees in 2009 and have been living most recently in Bowling Green, Ky., hoping to become citizens and obtain U.S. passports, though there's no allegation that they plotted any terrorist attacks in the United States.

Dear WFI Members,

Welcome to the WFI Monthly Update! Each month, we'll highlight important developments surrounding workplace issues and show how your efforts make a difference as Big Labor continues its assault on American businesses.

As we shine a spotlight on the Big Labor Bailouts going on in Washington, here are some of the ways you've made an impact on key workplace developments:

President Obama names Boeing Board Member to Cabinet

Weeks after the National Labor Relations Board issued a complaint against Boeing for building a facility in South Carolina, President Obama has decided to name a member of the company's board as a nominee to his cabinet. This comes on the heels of disclosures showing Bill Daley, the White House chief of staff was also working with Boeing when the company decided to set up shop in a right-to-work state in order to meet demand for their 787 Dreamliner aircraft. President Obama has a choice to make, either stop hiring individuals from a company his regulatory agency believes violated Federal labor law or tell Lafe Solomon to cease action against Boeing. Either way, President Obama must choose one as he can't have it both ways.

The NLRB Declares War on Job Creators: The Boeing Decision

In one of the more blatant displays of its pro-union agenda, the NLRB filed a complaint over Boeing's plans to open a plant in South Carolina, a Right-to-Work state, instead of expanding its operations in its unionized facility in Washington. This attempt to undermine South Carolina's Right-to-Work law represents a threat to every Right-to-Work state in the nation. WFI members sent an onslaught of letters to their legislators expressing their vehement disapproval of the NLRB using taxpayers' money to stand in the way of job creation and economic growth.

Introduction of Legislation to Preserve Right-to-Work Laws

Due in large part to the immense public outcry of WFI members against the Boeing Decision, Senators Alexander, Graham, and DeMint introduced S. 964, the Job Protection Act, which would protect workers and businesses in Right-to-Work states. Read more.

State-Level EFCA Clears the California General Assembly

This job-killing legislation has already been debated in Congress and Big Labor lost. Now, legislation that would effectively strip California farm workers of their right to vote by secret ballot in workplace elections has cleared the California General Assembly and is headed to the desk of Governor Jerry Brown. Big Labor won't give up-and neither will we. Read more on California's move to force unionization on workers.

Remember, fairness and balance in the workplace is something we have to work together to preserve.

Anti-War Group Code Pink Counts Ron Paul in Their Camp on Israel Aid Opposition

Politics makes for strange bedfellows. Add Code Pink and Republican Rep. Ron Paul to that list.

The vehemently anti-war group is organizing a slew of events this weekend in opposition to the United States' Israel policy, to coincide with the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Ahead of the protests, a Code Pink activist suggested the group -- at least when it comes to Israel -- is actually on the same page as Paul, a libertarian and one of the first candidates to enter the race for the GOP presidential nomination.

"The Ron Paul people are closer and closer to our talking points with each election," Code Pink activist Liz Hourican told FoxNews.com.

Code Pink crashes tea party, looking for converts


At this afternoon's Tea Party Express rally, on the left of the stage, a small woman in a bright pink shirt milled around conducting friendly interviews. The interviewer was Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, a left-wing activist who excels at showing up at conservative events, congressional hearings and military recruiting stations, and getting herself arrested. She listened to tea party activists, patiently marking down their answers to questions like, "Israel, a wealthy country, gets $3 billion a year from Uncle Sam with no strings attached and no accountability. The second largest recipient is the autocratic government of Egypt. Should Congress cut the foreign aid budget by cutting funds to Israel and Egypt?"

"I find more hawks here than Ron Paul supporters," Benjamin told me, right after an interview with a tea party activist (who didn't want to give her name) who blamed "Walter Cronkite and Bob McNamara" for America's defeat in Vietnam. "I think it's fascinating! There's a lot of myths about 'the other,' on both sides. Like, somebody came up to me and said 'You're a Castro lover!' I said, you don't know, I was actually put in jail and deported from Cuba. Let's talk, let's inform each other."

Again, you are known by the company you keep! PAN does not support what transpired over the holiday weekend nor does it support any future events that might be supported by Kokesh and Code Pink. Ron Paul needs to take a serious look at who he has been supporting and who his supporters are associated with....Code Pink....Seriously????

DEMOCRAT MARSEGLIA SNARRED
IN PAY-TO-PLAY INSURANCE SCHEME

 By Rogelio Jose de la Piedra
The Bugle News Correspondent

 Bucks County Commissioner Diane Marseglia pushed and voted to move the lucrative Middletown Township Insurance from a Municipal Insurance Trust to a politically connected privately owned Insurance Broker even though it cost taxpayers $43,500 more per year for less Insurance coverage and then got $15,000 in campaign contributions from the new broker.

Marseglia rushed through a proposal to drop Insurance by the Delaware Valley Insurance trust and replace it with the more expensive, North American Insurance Management Corporation owned by Marsglia cronies. Marsegliai told the newspaper at the time that the new broker would "save $200,000" which is false. "It won't cost us anything if they dont save us money" she said.The new broker has not saved the Township money, in fact it's coverage costs $43,500 more.

Marseglia jammed it throught the Town Board by a 3-2 vote without prior notice it would be on the agenda. " What's the rush ? This should be an agenda item at another meeting. Why are they trying to jam this through?" asked Town Board memeber John J. Kelly III. ( Intelligencer 08/14/2006)

Marseglia quickly got two checks for $7500 apiece from Insurance Brokers Douglas Schroer and John McManus in return, a felony under Pennsylvania law. Both could be charged with Marseglia for bribery in the kick-back scheme.

"Our conflict is not likely to cease so soon as every good man would wish. The measure of iniquity is not yet filled; and unless we can return a little more to first principles, and act a little more upon patriotic ground, I do not know when it will." --George Washington

Editorial Exegesis

"During the summer of 2009, in the early stages of the health care debate, a frustrated Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., lamented that he wasn't getting any cooperation from Republicans. ... This 'Party of No' rhetoric was parroted by nearly every liberal writer. It is less common today, now that the tables have turned. The new Republican House majority has passed a serious proposal to reform the broken entitlement system and avert national insolvency. Not only has Reid refused to work with the GOP on a budget, but he said it would be 'foolish' for Democrats to release one of their own. And last Wednesday, Senate Democrats gave new meaning to the label the 'Party of No' when they held a series of four budget votes. Not a single Democrat voted for any budget proposal, including Obama's own plan, which was rejected by a unanimous 97-to-0 vote. Democrats have settled on a political strategy of isolating and attacking the Ryan plan instead of offering constructive solutions that could leave them open to attack. If history is any guide, this is a winning election strategy. But it is not necessarily responsible governance. The nation faces an unprecedented debt crisis that makes the problems in the health care system pale in comparison. ... As tempting as it is for Republicans to blast Democrats' inaction, they would do much better to go on offense and attack the bad ideas Democrats have already embraced." --The Washington Examiner

"Senate Democrats haven't passed their own budget plan in more than two years, despite having strong control of that body. Meanwhile, the nation is teetering on bankruptcy. I don't make that statement lightly. Our national debt is $14.3 trillion, and our federal deficit is $1.65 trillion. ... Republicans will make a mistake if they continue to be in counterattack mode, waiting for the latest Democratic broadside to respond. They should be on the airwaves every morning and every night presenting the nightmarish facts and their proposal to end the nightmare and exposing the Democrats for the reckless rogues they are. Time's running out." --columnist David Limbaugh

"Obama and his policymakers told the country that we would recover from the deep recession by vastly increasing government spending and borrowing. ... Employers aren't creating any more new jobs than they were during the darkest days of the recession; unemployment has dropped slowly because they just aren't laying off as many employees as they did then. In the meantime many potential job seekers have left the labor market. If they re-enter and look for jobs, the unemployment rate will stay steady or ebb only slowly. We tend to hire presidents who we think can foresee the future effect of their policies. No one does so perfectly. But if the best sympathetic observers can say about the results is that they are 'unexpected,' voters may decide someone else can do better." --political analyst Michael Barone

"The U.S. intervention in Libya's civil war ... is now taking a toll on the rule of law. In a bipartisan cascade of hypocrisies, a liberal president, with the collaborative silence of most congressional conservatives, is traducing the War Powers Resolution. Enacted in 1973 over President Nixon's veto, the WPR may or may not be wise. It is, however, unquestionably a law, and Barack Obama certainly is violating it. ... 'No president,' says Sen. John McCain, 'has ever recognized the constitutionality of the War Powers Act, and neither do I. So I don't feel bound by any deadline.' Oh? No law is actually a law if presidents and senators do not 'recognize' it? Now, there is an interesting alternative to judicial review, and an indicator of how executive aggrandizement and legislative dereliction of duty degrade the rule of law." --columnist George Will

"Congressman Barney Frank, former Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, helped his then-lover Herb Moses land a nice, lucrative 'government job' working at Fannie Mae back in the 1990's. Even though it happened several years ago, this 'news' raises some very legitimate questions about a 'conflict of interest,' because in his position as an elected member of Congress, Mr. Frank had direct governmental oversight of Fannie Mae. ... This type of 'political favoritism' has become flagrant, and is out in the open in many parts of the country. What is not so out in the open is the way taxpayer dollars get spent by government agencies and bureaucracies 'behind the scenes.'" --columnist Austin Hill

Insight

"The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions." --American statesman Daniel Webster (1782-1852)

"Unionism seldom, if ever, uses such power as it has to insure better work; almost always it devotes a large part of that power to safeguarding bad work." --American writer H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)

The Demo-gogues

On the legality of illegal immigration: "I think the president was clearly articulating that his position -- the Democrats' position -- is that we need comprehensive immigration reform. We have 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country that are part of the backbone of our economy. And that is not only a reality but a necessity. And that it would be harmful if -- the Republican solution that I've seen in the last three years is that we should just pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries, and that in fact it should be a crime and we should arrest them all." --Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), who is also DNC chairwoman

Bad solution: "All I know is, whenever you have any type of a problem and the problem is one that you spend more than you are actually bringing in then you have to bring in more and spend less. It just makes so much sense ... it's all we have to do." --Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) on raising taxes

Opposing the very debt increase they wanted: "Well, when [Democrats] were in charge, when the president of the United States wouldn't let you do some of the things you wanted to do, Bill Clinton was there to veto things, we had a surplus for four years in a row and we didn't increase the debt [limit] once. Under George [W.] Bush we increased it seven times. I yield back the balance of my time and urge a no vote on this irresponsible piece of legislation that should have been handled in bipartisan way." --House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD)

Race bait: "You know, I'm 70 years old. And I can tell you; people don't like to deal with it, but the fact of the matter is, the president's problems are in large measure because of the color of his skin." --Assistant Minority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC), who later insisted that his comments were about racism

Um, what? "We have a leader with the backbone of a ramrod." --Joe Biden

Dezinformatsia

The BIG Delusional Lie: "I'd say the relationship is pretty good, very -- better than it was with Bush because the military hated the fact that he wasn't really doing the job in Iraq." --Time Magazine's Joe Klein on the military's supposed love for Obama

Always with the tax hikes: "What about raising taxes? ... At some point, do you have to look at raising taxes, and do people have to pay more for what's needed in this country?" --NBC's Erica Hill to GOP presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty

More tax hikes: "Paul Ryan has shown considerable guts, but [Democrat Congressman Chris Van Hollen is] correct that nobody on the Republican side is showing any courage on the tax front. And unless taxes are part of the mix, every grown-up knows it can't reach a solution." --NBC's Andrea Mitchell

Schadenfreude: "My favorite detail though of the whole Gingrich-Paul Ryan kerfluffle was not even two days had gone by before a White House aide sat up and said, 'Well this just proves that destroying Medicare is the new litmus test for the Republican Party primary.' So they see an opportunity here to just drive that whole debate further and further to the right toward the Tea Party, away from the center, and that's why they were happy about what happened." --Time Washington Bureau Chief Michael Duffy

And if that fails... "Our plan is for Congress to pass the debt limit [increase]. Our fallback plan is for Congress to pass the debt limit, and our fallback to the fallback plan is for Congress to pass the debt limit." --Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner

Weighing in: "You shouldn't draw the conclusion that the New York race means that nobody can do anything to slow the rate of Medicare costs. I just don't agree with that. ... You should draw the conclusion that the people made a judgment that the proposal in the Republican budget is not the right one. I agree with that." --Bill Clinton

"Last month, of the 242 counties in Texas, 202 of them were on fire simultaneously.

The Debt Is Not a Game, Mr. President

Well, President Obama asked for it. And last night he got it in grand fashion-a "clean vote" on raising the nation's debt limit, free of any of the desperately needed spending cuts that Americans are demanding, conservatives support, but liberals abhor. And by a 318-97 margin, the House of Representatives shot down the President's effort to authorize $2.4 trillion in additional borrowing by the federal government without condition.

Hey All,

The debate continues with regard to solutions challenging ObamaCare, including the battleground at the State Level.   As per prior emails, there are bills being promoted in Harrisburg.

http://pennsylvania.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/05/pa-tenth-amendment-legislation-status-may-14/

In addition, there are efforts to promote the Health Care Compact (HCC) concept.  Attached is an analysis of the HCC from a 10th Amendment perspective.

http://pennsylvania.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2011/05/state-remedies-for-addressing-obamacare/

The marketplace of ideas is at work.  If you concur with the analysis above, send letters to Gov. Corbett, Lt. Gov. Cawley, your Senator and Representative, and the sponsors of the four health care legislation in the Capitol ( Rep. Matt Baker, Senator D. White, Senator Scarnati, Senator Folmer, Senator Leach).

Addresses can be found at the attached link. http://www.legis.state.pa.us/

Attached is a letter we have sent already on the topic.   Now is the time to be heard on Consitutional, limited government solutions.  Do pass on to your groups.

If any questions, don't hesitate to email or call.

Governor Corbett,

It was a pleasure meeting with Todd Shamash in March about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and 10^th Amendment Solutions for Pennsylvania.  Since those discussions, other solutions have come forward on how address the Federal Government's unconstitutional over-reach into Health Care with the PPACA or ObamaCare.  One such idea is the Interstate Health Care Compact.

Please read the attached article from the Pennsylvania Tenth Amendment Center that assesses the Compact Concept.  We trust that you will consider this position, and also existing 10^th Amendment Solutions, including bills that are currently in the Pennsylvania Legislature.  This legislation is tracked and can be found on our website:

http://pennsylvania.tenthamendmentcenter.com/

We look forward to additional dialogue around ObamaCare and how the 10^th Amendment applies to today's issues in Pennsylvania.

State Remedies for Addressing ObamaCare

 There are several solutions in the marketplace of ideas on how to address the Federal Government's unconstitutional over-reach into Health Care with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (PPACA) or ObamaCare.  One such idea is the Health Care Compact .  Under the proposal, any groups of States would seek Congressional Consent to regulate Health Care in their States.  If approved by Congress, member states would have the right to Federal monies up to a preset amount listed in the table of Member State Base Funding Levels.  States would then use those Federal monies to implement health care in accordance with Federal laws and any State laws approved under the Compact.

The Health Care Compact is a well-intended effort to return health care decisions to the States.   However, is it the most effective method in keeping with the principles of limited government and Federalism?  Consider the following.

Congressional Consent

Why implement a structure that requires Consent of Congress and the Federal Government in this instance?  Aren't these the very entities that gave us ObamaCare and are the root of the larger problem in America?   How likely are they to just give up their entrenched power?  If history is a judge, not likely. 

Even if there is a friendly majority in the Federal House and Senate, Congressional composition will certainly change over time as it has in the past.  Thus there is no assurance that this mechanism will be available consistently going forward.  Further, there are no protections against withdrawal of Consent by Congress in the proposed Contract language.

More fundamentally, consent should not be necessary as the Federal Government has no Constitutional Authority over Health Care.  There is no specific power in Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution giving Congress the power to dictate on health care.  Period.  The Compact in essence recognizes the Federal Government's unconstitutional overreach in Health Care and asks for permission to administer it at the State level.  Are we willing to, in essence, surrender on this matter and become administrative vassals like States are in Europe?  There is no reason to surrender our sovereign rights to manage our health care decisions to the Federal Government.  We don't need consent from Washington D.C. !

Compact Structure

Why do the States need to create an interstate Compact of two or more states in this situation?  Under the Constitution, the individual States have rights already under the 10^th Amendment to manage their affairs, and don't need a Compact to exercise their rights.  Creating a new multi-state compact structure is new hurdle that moves away from the intent of the 10^th Amendment, and effectively weakens the 10^th Amendment.  Further, under the proposed language any one state that withdraws from an existing Compact will result in dissolution of the entire Compact that would leave the other States high and dry.  Can States afford to put their future at risk based upon how the political environment may change in the future with another State in the Compact?  This is hardly a sustainable solution.  Finally, implementing the Compact will likely create a new level of administrative bureaucracy, which runs counter to the goal of reducing the size of government.

Federal Dependency

The Health Care Compact further entrenches the States into dependency on the Federal government by seeking guaranteed federal monies.  This will result in the same "addiction" to Federal monies as Federal highway funds.  How often have legislators and citizens lamented their dependence on those monies and their inability to stand up against Washington on issues because of the ever-standing threat that highway funds will be withdrawn?  Why would we seek a solution for health care that repeats this mistake and makes the States even more dependent upon funding from Washington?  This funding mechanism would be forging more chains of bondage to all-to-willing masters in Washington.

The 10th Amendment Solution

The States, individually and in groups, already have the power to take back health care under the 10^th Amendment to the US Constitution.  Lest we forget:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people"

Health Care is not one of the limited enumerated powers under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.  It is simply a matter of having the courage, will and fortitude to stand tall and say "NO" to the Federal Government.  State Legislatures, Governors and the People should use their existing Constitutional Authority under the US Constitution to redress the unconstitutional overreach by the Federal Government, including Obamacare, thru all the existing remedies available:

·   Passing legislation that nullifies ObamaCare and sets up an individual state framework for health care consistent with the Constitution, values and will of the People in each state.

·   State Interposition between the Federal Government and the People of their State to halt implementation of ObamaCare within their State boundaries.

·   Heightened grassroots and citizen activism in their home States and Washington D.C.

·   Continued support for the Attorneys General lawsuit.

Many states have already taken these Constitutional steps on behalf of themselves and their citizens to reassert sovereignty, and with regard to Health Care in particular.  North Dakota recently passed strong legislation up through their Governor.  This legislation can be reviewed at the 10th Amendment Center website.

Again, the Health Care Compact proposal is a well-intentioned effort, and those supporting it are our friends and allies in the greater cause.  We should not let differences in approach create divides but rather use this as an opportunity to have thoughtful dialogue and debate, and develop consensus around a Constitutional limited government solution that can be broadly embraced and truly take back power from the Federal Government in keeping with the intent of the Founders and the spirit of the Grassroots movement that brought us together in 2009.

For more information, please refer to the 10^th Amendment Center website or contact your local 10^th Amendment Center State Coordinator.

Is Muslim Cleric Running Secret Radical Islam Group From Home in PA?

Fetullah Gulen

The Blaze | by Jonathon M. Seidl | Posted on June 1, 2011 

If you ask Muslim cleric Fetullah Gülen, as well as some former president Clinton, the form of Islam the religious leader is preaching is moderate. It's completely compatible with the West and especially the U.S. In other words, it's not radical. But if you ask those who have studied him, that couldn't be farther from the truth. Then you watch some of the videos of him before coming to the U.S. and you're heart drops. And then you realize that he's targeting children - and that taxpayers are paying for some of his endeavors.

Weinergate: alleged Weiner pics hit the web 

Congressman Anthony Weiner's Twitter page sent out a lewd Weiner photo on Friday, prompting Congressman Weiner to hastily delete the tweet and proclaim he'd been hacked. He then made the mistake of giving a press conference - which wouldn't have been a mistake if he was innocent of spreading Weiner pics around the internet. But his defense only looked weaker as a CNN reporter pounded away at the newly married Congressman Weiner, asking him point blank: did you send the picture or not? Weiner's answer is one of the worst of all time - possibly even worse than 'wide stance' Larry Craig. Glenn has the incredible audio and goes through the Weinergate timeline on radio today. 

Circumcision banned in San Francisco?

Glenn plays the interview where a rabbi calls the proposed circumcision ban nothing more than an extreme attack on religion. San Francisco residents will vote on a measure that would ban circumcision in the November elections - something Glenn agrees is nothing more than an attack on religion. But, he plays (literally) devil's advocate and gets in a heated debate on the issue - who wins? Find out HERE.

House avoids raising the debt ceiling

The proposal to raise our national debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion failed badly, going down by the oh so slim margin of 318-97. Even 82 Democrats voted against raising the ceiling. This vote was largely symbolic - so will they be able to avoid raising the ceiling and piling on even more debt? Or will they be eventually forced to cave? Get the details HERE.  

Chuck Schumer? Really? 

Chuck Schumer recently told a Jewish audience this: "The reason there is no peace in the Middle East is very simple. It's because the majority of Palestinians and the majority of Arabs don't believe there should be an Israel. It's that simple. Anyone who tries to figure out a way to solve this conflict without realizing that truth will never get anywhere." Strong words from someone whose party routinely sides with the Palestinians. Get the full context of his statement HERE.
