Dear Patriot,

Carried by Richard Nixon in all five presidential elections and by Ronald Regan all four times he ran, California, where European-Americans are now a shrinking minority, is a state where the Republican Party faces extinction.  John McCain's 2008 general election vote was a mere 36% in California, handing Barack Obama 55 votes of the Electoral College and eclipsing the GOP's capture of the entire mid-West with just one state. 

Demographics are destiny.  Many have read Patrick Buchanan's latest best-seller, "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025."  It is a telling forecast of the decline of the West and what the future may hold.

Here at the Thomas Jefferson Club, we strive to present speakers and issues that you will find nowhere else.  We are a non-partisan, issues-oriented organization and believe in presenting on a variety of challenging topics, including the issues of national identity, immigration and America's historic lineage of Western Culture.

On Sunday, February 12^th at 7pm we will present Filip Dewinter, member of the Belgian and European Parliament.  Mr. Dewinter is the leader of Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest), the main opposition party in Belgium.  He will discuss from the front lines the challenges for Western Civilization in Europe and its parallels to the United States.  This event will be held at The Temperance House, 5 South State Street, Newtown, PA.   

For a brief overview of Mr. Dewinter and the freedom movement in Europe, please view this video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjoLqlJDgGI.    

Another great event of note is this evening (Monday, January 30^th) called "Inaugural KTP Tea" with the Kitchen Table Patriots.  The objective of KTP's first "Tea" is to mingle in a less formal setting and bring you up to date on some activities in Harrisburg and Washington.  Also to solicit ideas about what KTP should be doing to champion conservatism right here at home.  The event is free of charge and will be held from 5-7pm at Bobby Simone's Restaurant Loft, 52 East State Street, Doylestown, PA. 

All the best,

Jeff McGeary

Weekly News From Philadelphia ZOA

Shabbat Shalom!

Philadelphia ZOA Quarterly Meeting

Wednesday, Feb. 29, 7:30 p.m., at Temple Beth Hillel/Beth El, 1001 Remington Rd., Wynnewood.

Our guest speaker will be State Representative Curt Schroder, who recently returned from a trip to Israel along with other lawmakers from the commonwealth on a trip sponsored and organized by the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition. Schroder, a Republican, represents the 155th District, in Chester County. He is serving his ninth term.

The meeting is free and open to the public. Please

encourage those you know to also attend.

*             *             *

We want to let you know Philadelphia ZOA's activities concerning the University of Pennsylvania boycott, divestment and sanctions conference (Penn BDS) taking place next weekend  -- as well as a couple good responses.

The Greater Philadelphia District of the Zionist Organization of America has not only been actively engaged in confronting this evil conference but we have been intimately involved in the organized Jewish Community's response and have taken the lead role, through our own ongoing "Buy Israel" campaign, in countering the effort to hurt Israel economically. The organized Jewish community has taken this conference seriously and most of the elements of our community have coalesced to form a unified stance. ZOA has attended and contributed to meetings and conference calls where responses, planning and strategies have been formulated and while there have been points of disagreement, we feel it is important in this instance to speak with one voice. We had input in the official community statement condemning the conference, have been kept apprised of details including the major event with Alan Dershowitz next week and have made suggestions concerning security and other initiatives.

Additionally we have met and spoken with students and partnered with a particularly active student to visit businesses both on campus and around the perimeter  -- with samples in hand -- to encourage them to carry items from Israel in their stores and restaurants. ZOA is making sure and providing -- thanks to the good people of Osem USA -- that there will be items from Israel served at special Shabbat dinners at Penn to coincide with the Penn BDS event. We had a letter encouraging people to "Buy Israel" published last week in the Jewish Exponent.

This conference will be in our area for just a weekend, but the foes of Israel are working all the time to harm Israel and the Jewish people. Therefore we who support Israel must be active beyond the period of this conference. I am attaching a copy of our "Buy Israel" flyer with this email. Please use it, circulate it and print it out and take it with you when you do your shopping.

Let's Continue our Lawsuit Abuse Reform Momentum!
Urge Your State Legislator to Support H.B. 1976

Last year, you helped us score a major lawsuit abuse reform victory with the enactment of the Fair Share Act.

But our work in this important area isn't over.

We need to continue the fight to provide a level playing field for Pennsylvania's job creators by restoring predictability, balance and common sense to the state's legal system.

That is why Citizens to Protect PA Jobs needs your help to enact "venue reform" legislation (H.B. 1976) that would tighten the rules on where trial lawyers can file their lawsuits.

The current weak rules allow trial lawyers to engage in "venue shopping" - where they file cases in jurisdictions known for awarding outrageous jury awards, even if the injury or damage took place hundreds of miles away.

H.B. 1976 would help end this practice by requiring that the plaintiff needs to either reside in the area where the lawsuit is being filed or the incident must have occurred there.

Please click here today to email your state legislator to urge them to support H.B. 1976. 

Venue shopping makes Pennsylvania a magnet for abusive lawsuits against employers - yet another obstacle to job growth during this economic downturn.

Pennsylvania's destination of choice for lawsuit shoppers is Philadelphia, which again was named the American Tort Reform Association's No. 1 Judicial Hellhole for hosting a disproportionate share of Pennsylvania's lawsuits because of its pro-plaintiff, high jury award reputation.

That kind of reputation hurts the state's competitiveness and ability to attract new employers and investment - and creates an unpredictable and potentially costly environment for existing employers.

Let's continue our lawsuit reform momentum. Help us put an end to venue shopping by emailing your state leiglsator in support of H.B. 1976.

Thank you for your time and interest,

Citizens to Protect PA Jobs

RedState Morning Briefing

For February 3, 2012

1. Danger Will Robinson . . . or Ann Coulter

This week is a career milestone for me. I appear in Time magazine writing about the state of the conservative movement. As a kid living overseas, my American history teacher subscribed us all to Time and U.S. News and World Report. So it is kind of cool to be in an issue of, between the two, the still printed survivor.

The point I try to make is that the conservative movement is going through a necessary transition after the Bush years. You can read the whole thing here but a really relevant part is here:

"The internecine fights we are witnessing are about a conservative movement starting to separate itself again from Republican Party. Unfortunately, neither of the front runners have legitimate conservative integrity to claim the banner of conservative movement leader, but they will both try. Romney will hold the banner for conservatives within the GOP and Gingrich will hold the banner of the traditional alliance of conservatives with the GOP."

I see this playing out in, of all things, my friend Ann Coulter's column defending Romneycare. Mark Levin offers the definitive rebuttal, which you can listen to here, but there is a point that too few are making that needs to be made.

2. Give Me Your Money in the Name of Jesus

Yesterday, in the middle of his campaign National Prayer Breakfast speech, President Obama delighted those of us who love irony by quoting C.S. Lewis. It was an interesting moment in a speech that put forth the notion that taxing the wealthy is right in line with the teachings of Jesus. I mean, Jesus did hang out with tax collectors, right? The idea that government welfare is somehow the fulfillment of Jesus' teaching on charity is a common misconception that many people make, Christians included, and it's the main reason that liberals believe conservatives are Christian hypocrites. Perhaps if the president visited church more often than only during campaign seasons, he might not be so confused. See, not only do we spend time praising God in church, we also gain insight from our pastors who have surely spent more time in the word of God than we have.

While Obama may have been correct in saying that government mandated, shared responsibility is equal to the Islamic belief that those who've been blessed have an obligation to use those blessings to help others, he is incorrect to group in Jesus' teaching, "for unto whom much is given, much shall be required." Aside from the fact that Jesus was discussing requirements from God, not the government, he was actually teaching his disciples that they were stewards of God's gift of Revelation. Their requirement was to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. It's the crux of Christianity that Obama seems to miss. Jesus came because we are imperfect. We could never fulfill all the requirements that the pharisees loved to lord over the people. Jesus' coming ended the rule of law and the began the acceptance that our only way to God was through Him. Yes, Jesus very much emphasized the importance of giving to the poor, but as a reaction in joy to what we've been given; not because of a law. Giving out of obligation is not truly giving, it's merely following the rules. Just ask anyone who's ever written a check to pay their taxes, I doubt you'd find them excited.

The Bible also teaches that everything we have, including money, belongs to God. We are called to be good stewards with His money. The government is the epitome of mismanaging money. If you truly want to help the poor, you should probably seek out charities; but that would require a bit of work on the part of the giver and a great many find it easier to just let the government run every aspect of their lives. So it is that welfare money ends up spitting out of strip club ATMs, and those same people who paid their charity to the government wonder why government hasn't solved the issue. Perhaps they should ask the 27 Democrats who voted against stopping welfare checks from being used at strip clubs, casinos and liquor stores.

3. Senate Porkers Defeat Earmark Ban

Senators Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) learned a valuable lession today about member's desire to go back to the practice of earmarking pet projects. Toomey and McCaskill offered an Amendment to the STOCK Act that would have created a new Senate point of order against earmarks in bills. They were met with bipartisan opposition to this common sense idea.

4. A Former Union Thug's Take On Right-to-Work: What's Right & What's Not...

Having spent nearly a decade as a former union representative and activist (aka "union thug") in a Right-to-Work state, it has been interesting to discuss and watch the activities and debates over the Right-to-Work battles occuring within the various states. Having been on both sides of the labor-management equation, it's easy to see the two sides of the coin-the pluses and the minuses-that come into play with Right to Work legislation.

5. Horserace for February 2, 2012

There are storm clouds on the horizon. A day after Mitt Romney's massive win in Florida he opened his mouth and promptly told conservatives he was incapable of articulating conservatism.

Then Newt Gingrich found a bright line rule in the Republican rules that clearly and precisely states that all delegates awarded before April 1, 2012, must be proportional. There goes giving Romney all fifty delegates from Florida despite what Florida's GOP Chairman says.

Then National Review and other Romney supporters , taking a bit of comfort in his secure win in Florida, decided they could finally express some buyers remorse, or at least now stop zealously defending him and criticize him some.

Then people really examined the exit polls in Florida. What they found was that turnout fell from 2008. But in counties where turn out was up, Newt Gingrich won. Where turnout from 2008 was down, Romney won. This pattern followed South Carolina. The base remains unexcited about Romney and his comments yesterday about the poor and the social safety net keep the base from getting excited.

What should have been Mitt Romney heading into February securing his nomination now becomes an effort to stave off a rear guard action to pick him off. Gingrich and Santorum now have the ammunition they need to keep the Great Coalescing from happening.

Israpundit | By David Lev, INN | February 2, 2012  

IDF Intelligence head Aviv Kochavi gave a chilling presentation Thursday morning at the Herzliya Conference on Israeli policy, telling listeners that Israel's enemies had 200,000 rockets and missiles pointed at the country, and could reach all parts of Israel - even the ostensibly safe "center" of Tel Aviv and its suburbs.

Most of the missiles have a range of about 40 kilometers - the range of Qassam and most Katyusha rockets - but thousands of missiles have ranges of hundreds of kilometers, making every location in Israel within their reach. Not only that - but the missiles are more lethal now than ever before. "The warheads on these missiles contain hundreds of kilograms of explosives, not dozens, as in the past. And their firing precision and ability to hit specific targets is also greater," Kochavi said. The rockets are largely located in Lebanon and Syria, with a smaller amount in Gaza - and in Iran, as well, which has thousands of missiles that could reach Israel. "Every tenth house in Lebanon is now a weapons depot," Kochavi said.

Fellow patriots,

Please take 1 minute to sign this petition to your Representatives and Senators in Congress, asking them to Co-Sponsor HR 973 and its corresponding legislation in the Senate:

I support H.R. 973 which seeks to ban the use of foreign law in our United States court system. I know that Shariah Law in the United States is a matter of grave, public concern.

The "Islamization" of America is taking place right before our very eyes. I am faxing our Congressmen to make sure that our court system is not infiltrated by foreign law; AND to make sure of two things:

1. ALL Members of Congress must CO-SPONSOR H.R. 973.
2. Urge U.S. Representatives to get H.R. 973 OUT of the Subcommittee NOW!

Do whatever is necessary. Shariah Law embraces a system that is completely against what you and I believe in. I know we are standing up for all moderate religions in America to be treated equally and fairly.

TO SIGN THIS PETITION, CLICK HERE --> http://petitions.christianresponsealerts.com/5876/stop-sharia-in-america-tell-leaders-to-co-sponsor-hr-973/

If you have any questions about why the need to sign this petition is so urgent, read the article below (or at least the highlighted portions), which was written by a genuinely liberal Muslim.

Islam's OIC: The World's Thought Police

by Mudar Zahran
January 19, 2012 at 4:30 am

http://www.stonegateinstitute.org/2767/islam-oic-thought-police

On December 19, 2011, the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the negative stereotyping and stigmatization of people based on their religion, and urged member states to take effective measures towards addressing and combating "such incidents." This resolution, based on an initiative from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), was supported by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who hosted a closed-door three-day meeting - apparently one of many in a series called the "Istanbul Process"-- in Washington D.C. with OIC representatives to discuss ways to implement the resolution.

What might sound like a step toward "tolerance," however, is in reality an assault on freedom of speech: a UN-endorsed violation of human rights, co-sponsored by the US, and prompted by the OIC, an organization of 57 Muslim nations, most of which hold the world's worst records on freedom of speech.

The OIC initiative for a UN resolution against "defamation of religion" is not new; the OIC has been promoting it for the last 13 years despite earlier opposition from Western countries. What changed recently was dropping the word "defamation of religion" and stressing "freedom of speech"-- something about which Secretary of State Clinton seems to be enthusiastic.

    Afghan pedophilia  

In a July 2010 email entitled "Call it Pornistan," we included a Fox News story that said, "So here's the irony: Google ranks Pakistan No. 1 in the world in searches for pornographic terms, outranking every other country in the world in searches per person for certain sex-related content."

As we noted then, "It's common to find Muslim leaders decrying the "debauchery" and "depravity" of the West, and how this "immorality" is "invading" the Muslim world." What's more, these allegations are frequently used as an excuse for the rise in Islamic terrorism against the West.

America is far from perfect, and it's true that many of the world's porn sites originate in America and western Europe. It's also true that no one is forced to access them.

Now we have the Examiner article below (highlights added) entitled "Afghan Pedophilia: A Way of Life." No one could argue this is a result of "Western debauchery" invading Afghanistan, which has been a hotbed of jihadism for years. 

Afghan Pedophilia: A way of life, say U.S. soldiers and journalists
  Jim Kouri

Law Enforcement Examiner
  Apologists say that Bacha Bazi or 'Boy Play' is a very old cultural practice in Afghanistan and part of that nation's mainstream.

Citing the Afghanistan strategy review, Vice President Joe Biden reported "great progress" in the counterterrorism effort that has significantly degraded al-Qaeda and the Taliban, particularly their leadership. Lagging behind, he said, is progress on the counterinsurgency front - eliminating terrorist safe havens in Pakistan and building a stable Afghan government.

However, not once did Biden - nor Defense Secretary Leon Panetta -- mention Afghanistan's dirty secret - a large number of pedophiles and pederasts among the Afghan male population.

Pedophilia is a widely-accepted practice in southern Afghanistan, where "boys are given to older men for the sexual gratification of the elder and the sexual education of the child," say many returning U.S. troops.

Alexander's Essay - February 2, 2012

Defeating Obama's Socialist Propaganda

The Fallacy of the Left's 'Fairness' Doctrine

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If 'Thou shalt not covet' and 'Thou shalt not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free." --John Adams, 1787

Barack Hussein Obama centered his recent State of Disunion campaign speech on the worn socialist refrain of "fairness."

"We can go in two directions," Obama said. "One is towards less opportunity and less fairness. Or we can fight for ... building an economy that works for everyone, not just a wealthy few."

His subsequent 2012 stump speeches include a variation of these words at his most recent whistle stop in Michigan: "I want this to be a big, bold, generous country where everybody gets a fair shot, everybody is doing their fair share, everybody is playing by the same set of rules."

Let's briefly review our nation's history in regard to Liberty, taxation and "fairness."

The first American Revolution was galvanized by a Tea Party protest against a small three pence tax surcharge on imported tea.

Our Founders were uniformly concerned about government power to lay and collect taxes and, accordingly, enumerated specific limitations on taxing and spending.

James Madison addressed the issue of unlimited spending, and his words are applicable today: "It has been [said], that the power 'to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States,' amounts to an unlimited commission to exercise every power which may be alleged to be necessary for the common defence or general welfare." Rejecting that "misconstruction" of our Constitution, Madison went on to write, "If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one."

To ensure that federal taxation would be limited to these constraints, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of our Constitution (the "Taxing and Spending Clause"), as duly ratified in 1789, defined the "Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises," but Section 8 required that such, "Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States." This, in effect, limited the power of Congress to impose direct taxes on individuals, as further outlined in Section 9: "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken."

That Constitutional limitation survived until 1861, when the first income tax was imposed to defray costs of the War Between the States. That three-percent tax on incomes over $800 was sold as an emergency war measure. In 1894, congressional Democrats tested the Constitution, passing a peacetime tax of two percent on income above $4,000. A year later, that tariff was overturned by the Supreme Court as not complying with the limitations set forth in Article 1.  

However, the greatest historical injury to economic Liberty was dealt in the presidential campaign of 1912, when the father of Democratic Socialism, Woodrow Wilson, was elected on his mastery of class warfare rhetoric, as outlined in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto in the mid-19th century. He used Marx's populist redistribution theme, "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs," to gain passage of the Sixteenth Amendment, which stated, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

The top tax rate levied under the new Amendment was just seven percent on incomes above $500,000 (about $12 million in 2012 dollars).

But the ability to impose direct taxes gave rise to a century of class warfare political rhetoric that would be anathema to our Founders and the Liberty they fought so hard to secure for their posterity.

Two decades later, Franklin Roosevelt gained acceptance of his New Deal programs via his refined classist rhetoric -- and American socialist propaganda has been the bookmarked page in the political playbook of all Democrat presidents since.

Though the contrast between, and debate about, Leftist Tyranny versus Essential Liberty was boldly reinvigorated by Ronald Reagan during his two terms of office, never before the election of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 have so many Americans fully recognized the cumulative manifestation of collectivist socialism.

A second Tea Party protest has been brewing since Obama took office, demanding tax reform -- but no such reformation will succeed unless accompanied by tax conformation, ensuring that taxes collected are only for expenditures authorized by our Constitution.

Post Your Opinion: Tell us how you will act to oppose Obama's re-election.

Laying the groundwork for his 2012 re-election bid, Obama's SOTU was devoid of any free-market economic remedies, and every "solution" was predicated upon government engineering via intervention, regulation or redistribution -- consistent with his perfected version of Wilson's and Roosevelt's Democratic Socialist platform.

Additionally, Obama has dumbed-down his classist "fairness" rhetoric to comport with the latest populist appeals of the "occupy movement."

Anticipating that his opponent in the general election will be Mitt Romney, an easy-to-target "rich Republican," Obama has rallied his own stable of uber-wealthy Leftists in support of his "Wall Street v Main Street" disinformation campaign.

In his SOTU, Obama declared, "You can call this class warfare all you want. But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense."

To further advance his classist "divide and conquer" strategy, he trotted out Debbie Bosanek, the secretary of billionaire Obamaphile Warren Buffett, as a prop for invoking the Buffet Rule -- "If you make more than $1 million a year, you should not pay less than 30 percent in taxes."

"Right now, Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. Do we want to keep these tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans?" asked Obama. Predictably, our Class-Warrior-in-Chief has refused to tell the American people how much Ms. Bosanek is paid in order to be taxed at a higher rate than her boss. Forbes Magazine, however, uses current IRS tax tables to estimate that she makes "well above $200,000 annually." Clearly, Ms. Bosanek isn't just any old secretary.

"Facts," as John Adams noted, "are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."

The fact is that Warren Buffet, like Mitt Romney and other "wealthy Americans," pays much more than the much-maligned "15 percent" on capital gains. Before being taxed on his profits, the corporations producing them are already taxed at 35 percent -- the highest corporate tax rate in the world. So, in effect, these vilified wealthy Americans are already paying more than 50 percent in taxes, far above the 30 percent rate of Obama's beloved "Buffett Rule," and far, far above his "15 percent" claim.

Here in our humble editorial shop, we call Obama's deceptive prevarication, The Big Lie.

Now, Obama might make a pitch for fairness if the top 25 percent of income earners were paying a lower percentage of the nation's tax bill than the percentage of national income they earn. But the top 25 percent are currently paying 87 percent of that bill while earning 65 percent of that income.

However, populist rhetoric trumps facts, where there is not enough "common sense" to prevail. As George Bernard Shaw said, "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul."

Moreover, the real tragedy is that Obama's senseless sycophants don't comprehend the great error of his "fairness" rhetoric. The capital Obama proposed to remove from the economy in the form of even more disproportionate taxes (for expenditures not authorized by our Constitution) will decrease the available pool of capital for economic expansion, job creation and higher standards of living for ALL working Americans.

Post Your Opinion: How can the next Republican presidential candidate best defend free enterprise?

Obama's "fairness" farce to raise taxes and shrink capital is the last component of his macroeconomic agenda to break the back of free enterprise, in order to achieve his objective of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America" from a nation guided by Rule of Law as supported by economic Liberty, to one subdued by the rule of men under the oppression of Democratic Socialism.

In 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall famously observed, "An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation."

Should Obama gain a second term, he is virtually assured "an unlimited power to tax" beyond the limits free enterprise can bear. The outcome of the next election will be either a sunrise or sunset on Liberty.

While Leftists may have the constitutional authority to levy direct taxes on income, they do not have the authority to levy such taxes for expenditures not expressly authorized by our Constitution -- though they have done so with impunity for generations.

In 1794, as recorded in the Annals of Congress, James Madison declared, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents..."

To this day, no constitutional articulation of such spending power exists, and challenging that authority exposes the Achilles' heel of the generations of socialist programs espoused by Obama and his Leftist cadres.

So, can an "establishment Republican" defeat Obama with a "tax reform" platform?

No -- unless he centers the debate on the fact that our Constitution provides no authority for the expenditures Obama proposes, charges him with violating his "sacred oath" to "support and defend," and vigorously makes the case that Obama has offended American Liberty in the process.

It is just such a breach of trust that gave rise to the first American Revolution. Focusing on Obama's Breach of Oath will ensure that Liberty can be sustained with ballots rather than bullets.

The next Republican presidential candidate must not only defeat Obama's rhetoric with Rule of Law defining the role of government, but if he succeeds, he must devote his administration, first and foremost, to real tax reform and implementation of either a flat tax or national sales tax.

As far as the "Buffett Rule" is concerned, Buffett and his secretary, and all American taxpayers, are being overtaxed for illegal expenditures.

Sam Rohrer is picking up support from PA Legislators

I hope this is well noted by our Bucks-Montgomery our local State and Federal legislators and follow suit

I have exciting news.

After an almost ten-year struggle involving hundreds of thousands of mobilized Hoosiers, Indiana can finally enjoy all the benefits of a Right to Work law.

On Wednesday, the Indiana Senate passed the Right to Work bill to free nearly 200,000 Hoosiers who have been forced to pay union dues or fees for the privilege of getting up every day and going to work so they can provide for their families.

Governor Mitch Daniels signed the bill a few hours later, making Indiana America's 23rd Right to Work state.

Read more about this historic victory for worker freedom in the Indianapolis Star, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, and Fox News.

The ten-year battle that led to this victory would never have been possible without the help of our generous and loyal supporters, who stuck with us when all the naysayers declared that we could never succeed.

That includes not only the enthusiasm and activism of grassroots Hoosiers but the commitment of Right to Work supporters from across the country whose generosity helped make Right to Work a reality in Indiana.

Lawmakers passed the bill despite a hostile weeks-long protest at the capitol -- and at many of their homes -- by several thousand pro-forced unionism protesters.

This happened because those legislators were also receiving tens of thousands of phone calls, letters, emails and postcards from pro-Right to Work Hoosiers all across the state.

Indiana is now the first Right to Work state in the Manufacturing Belt, and Hoosiers are certain to enjoy a significant advantage over all of their neighbors and the rest of the 27 non-Right to Work states.

Virtually every site selection consultant on record has testified that as many as half of their clients will not even consider expanding or relocating to non-Right to Work states.

That's a lesson Governor Daniels said he experienced first-hand when Volkswagen chose to build a new plant in Right to Work Tennessee -- after the company wouldn't even take his phone calls.

I want to thank the thousands of dedicated Hoosiers who have stood up over the years to demand passage of the Indiana Right to Work law.

Concerned citizens like you made this possible with your steady support for worker freedom and the National Right to Work Committee.

I know you'll be there with us going forward as we continue to mobilize for worker freedom in other states and for roll-call votes in Congress on the National Right to Work Act.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

CBO Baseline: A Few Quirks Do Not Distract from a Dismal Picture 

By J.D. Foster Ph.D.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its baseline budget outlook through fiscal year 2022 on January 31. The analysis is as creditable to the CBO as its message is daunting to the nation. After squandering three years in which the signal consequences have been persistent high unemployment coupled with an unprecedented increase in the national debt, President Obama has left the nation facing a budget deficit exceeding $1.1 trillion for 2012 and averaging almost as much each year for the 10-year forecast. Assuming, as most do, that Congress and the President will spend the coming year largely inert on fiscal matters, whoever is in the White House next year will face a fiscal calamity of epic proportions.

Rep. West Declares 'Days Of Conservatives Being Punching Bags - That's Over'

Feb 02, 2012 01:37 pm

Thursday, February 2, 2012

To: Friends & Supporters

From: Gary L. Bauer


COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY: 278 DAYS TO THE 2012 ELECTIONS


2012 Update

• At the National Prayer Breakfast today Barack Obama said something that took people's breath away. He laid out his entire socialist agenda and essentially said, "Jesus made me do it." I'll write more about the specifics of his speech tomorrow.
  
  But watch your nightly news broadcast tonight very closely to see how many pundits fret over the separation of church and state and clobber Obama for his faith-based policies. That's exactly what they do to conservatives every time we defend normal marriage or argue for the right to life. Surely, the media will hold Obama to the same standard, right? Don't hold your breath. It's okay for Democrats to preach from the Gospel of Redistribution, but it is an affront to the Constitution when conservatives try to defend traditional values.
• Mitt Romney ran into a buzz saw yesterday. Romney made this remark during a CNN interview:

"I'm not concerned about the very poor -- we have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich -- they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90-95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling."

Of course, the media and Obama's left-wing allies immediately took the first sentence out of context and attacked him. That's clearly unfair. But guess what? That's politics.

The more disturbing part is that this is not the conservative message. Our message is that conservative policies will lift the poor out of poverty. We don't argue that we want to make the safety net better or bigger, we believe that our policies will make it less necessary, and hopefully shrink it. That is the philosophy behind the mantra of less taxes, less spending and smaller government. That is not a "bash the poor" message, but one of greater personal responsibility, more freedom and more prosperity for everyone.

• In yesterday's report I urged supporters to take arguments about electability with a grain of salt. Here's why: New polling data suggests that the strongest GOP candidate in the critical swing state of Ohio may in fact be Senator Rick Santorum.

Planned Parenthood Takes A Hit

The Susan G. Komen foundation, the nation's largest charity devoted to breast cancer research, announced this week that it is terminating funding to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider. Various reports suggest the Komen foundation gave as much as $680,000 to Planned Parenthood last year.

The left erupted in fits of rage at this news. The radical group MoveOn.org has organized an online protest. Left-wing blogs and media are aiming their fire at Karen Handel, Komen's vice president for public policy. Handel once served as Georgia's Secretary of State and ran for governor in 2010 as a pro-life candidate.

According to the Komen foundation, the decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood was the result of a new policy with "more stringent eligibility and performance criteria." Responding to the left's criticism, Komen's CEO Nancy Brinker said that she launched "a comprehensive review of our grants and standards" in 2010. For the record, Karen Handel was hired by the Komen foundation in April 2011.

Brinker went on say, "We will never bow down to political pressure. The scurrilous accusations being hurled at this organization are profoundly hurtful to so many of us who put our heart, soul and lives into this organization."

One aspect of the Komen foundation's "more stringent eligibility" requirements is that no funds can be given to organizations under investigation by local, state or federal authorities. Planned Parenthood is currently facing a probe by the House Committee on Oversight and Investigations to determine if taxpayer funds have been used to perform abortions in violation of federal law.

Reports, however, suggest that this change in policy may not result in a permanent ban on funding to Planned Parenthood, but rather a temporary suspension. While citing the congressional investigation as the reason for the cutoff, a Komen spokeswoman told the Associated Press, "We want to maintain a positive relationship with [Planned Parenthood]. We're not making any judgment." In other words, if the House investigation clears Planned Parenthood, the funding may well resume. (And, of course, if Nancy Pelosi were still Speaker, this investigation would not be happening at all!)

But the denial of funds could also be justified by "more stringent performance criteria" too. Planned Parenthood claims that it performs basic health services, but we learned last year that Planned Parenthood in fact does not do many mammograms.


Contempt Of Congress

Attorney General Eric Holder was in the hot seat again today, facing renewed questions about exactly how much the Justice Department knew about the botched gun-walking program "Operation Fast and Furious." Confronted with a new report that top Justice officials clearly had more knowledge than previously disclosed, Holder stuck to his past denials.

Members of Congress have repeatedly demanded that more information be released in order to determine who knew what and when. But faced with continued stonewalling by the Justice Department, Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) warned the Attorney General, "I would urge the chairman to move on a contempt citation against you."

Holder isn't the only official facing such action. House Republicans have become increasingly frustrated by the administration's pattern of stonewalling every investigation. On Monday, Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL), who is leading the investigation into Solyndra, warned that his committee was also considering a contempt citation against the White House for "slow walking" the release of documents related to the bankrupt stimulus-funded company.
 

Pew Polls Show Jewish Shift Toward GOP, Away from Democrats  

Washington, D.C. (February 2, 2012) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) responded today to an analysis from the Pew Research Center showing a significant increase in Jewish support for Republicans between 2008 and 2011.

RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said:

"This notable analysis from the unimpeachable professionals at the Pew Research Center shows a significant shift in Jewish political identification - a shift toward Republicans and away from Democrats. This was not the softer move of more Jewish respondents saying that they 'lean' Republican, but a solid shift in Jewish self-identification as Republicans.

"The Pew analysis today offers another in a series of critical data points highlighting this trend within the Jewish community. We had the strong Jewish vote for Republican Bob Turner in the special election in NY's 9th district last year. The American Jewish Committee poll in the fall of 2011 showed a significant erosion in Jewish support for President Obama. In that poll, for the first time, a plurality or majority of Jewish respondents disapproved of the President's handling of key issues such as the economy and the U.S.-Israel relationship.

"These facts reinforce the case we have been making that the Republicans are making political inroads in the Jewish community."

Background:

In an analysis released today, the Pew Research Center noted:

Even Jewish voters, who have traditionally been and remain one of the strongest Democratic constituencies, have moved noticeably in the Republican direction; Jewish voters favored the Democrats by a 52-point margin in 2008 but now prefer the Democratic Party by a significantly smaller 36-point margin.

SOURCE:  http://www.pewforum.org/Politics-and-Elections/Trends-in-Party-Identification-of-Religious-Groups.aspx  

Republicans have also seen gains among Jewish voters, who have long been strong supporters of the Democratic Party. In 2008, 72% of Jews identified themselves as Democrats or said they leaned toward the Democratic Party, and Democrats held a 52-point advantage among this group. In 2011, the Democratic advantage among Jews has shrunk to 36 points, with 29% of the Jewish population aligning with the GOP. While the majority of Jews are still Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party, Democrats' dominance among this group has weakened since the last presidential election. In fact, Jews are the only religious group analyzed in which the percentage who identify themselves as Republican (as opposed to leaning toward the GOP) has risen significantly. [Emphasis added.]

SOURCE: http://www.pewforum.org/Politics-and-Elections/Trends-in-Party-Identification-of-Religious-Groups-affiliation.aspx 

Reporter Josh Nathan-Kazis in the Jewish Daily Forward quotes Pew researchers on what distinguishes the data on Jewish voters in their analysis:

"The increase among Jews is greater than in the general public, and greater than the increase in... other religious groups," said Alan Cooperman, associate director for research at Pew...

"For most religious groups and for the public as a whole, the trend toward the GOP has come from people who are increasingly likely to say they lean toward the Republican party," said Greg Smith, a senior researcher at Pew. "Jewish voters are really the exception.That's the one religious group we've analyzed where the shift toward the GOP is not among leaners, but rather among actual Republican identifiers."

They Don't Feel Safe 

They Don't Feel Safe

However, I have to make a comment on recent events. I carry a gun. I have for almost twenty years. I have had to defend myself with a gun when violent criminals tried to take my life for greed. I have also had to threaten the use of the gun to protect others lives from criminal violence. I train law abiding citizens to use the utility of violence to protect themselves against criminal violence. No matter how much you believe violence is not an answer, I can tell you that when your life is in immediate danger, where it takes less than one second for someone to pull a trigger or two seconds for them to step to you and bury a knife in your chest, and the police are an average of 11 minutes away, violent self defense is almost always the only option you have to save your life or the life of another. The owner of the company I work for understands this, knows my background, and has authorized me to carry at work.

I served my country with honor. While doing so I also was certified as an auxiliary police officer through the D.O.D. police. I have held secret clearance, been background checked on almost a yearly basis. I have had psych eval after psych eval. I've been through hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of training in threat assessment, conflict negotiation, violent behavior analysis, unarmed and armed self defense tactics, executive protection, fugitive apprehension, surveillance, etc. I have been entrusted to wear a badge in the name of the law, to break through criminals doors to bring them to justice, to put my life on the line to protect others. I have been vetted. When law enforcement and private security officers need training to learn how to operate in instances of mortal combat, they have come to organizations I have worked for and to myself for training on how to do it right; How to minimize danger to the public and themselves while engaging violent people to stop them from killing. Anyone who knows anything about me and the few friends I have know that I would put my life on the line to protect them in almost any situation excluding anything that would put my family in jeopardy. If they spent as much energy learning who I am as they do trying to derail my efforts they would not say they don't feel safe because I carry a gun.

Is Iran a threat to the United States? Real News opened their show last night with an intense debate - get the segment HERE.  

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where a family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said as he surveyed the worried faces. 'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky, but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the BRAIN.'

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a time, someone asked, 'How much will a brain cost?'

The doctor quickly responded, '$5,000 for a Democrat's brain; $200 for a Republican's brain.'

The moment turned awkward. Some of the Democrats actually had to 'try' to not smile, avoiding eye contact with the Republicans. A man unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, 'Why is the Democrat's brain so much more than a Republican's brain?'

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the Republicans' brains a lot lower because they're used."
