Fellow Pennsylvania Ron Paul supporters
February 24, 2008
Great news -- Ron Paul will be at the very top of Pennsylvania's Republican primary ballot! Here's our press announcement:
Ron Paul Secures Top Ballot Position on Pennsylvania Republican Primary Ballot
Scores of Paul Supporters Secure Ballot Access as Delegate and Alternate Candidates to GOP National Convention
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 24th, 2008
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - In a Press Release dated February 18th, 2008, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul's campaign reported that petition team volunteers had collected almost 10,000 signatures to qualify Ron for placement on the April 22 Pennsylvania Republican primary ballot. As reported by Debbie Hopper, Assistant Campaign Manager, "A mere 2,000 valid nomination signatures were required and this illustrates the sheer determination of Ron's Pennsylvania supporters."
More critically, over 63 Ron Paul supporters had concurrently successfully filed nomination petitions to be placed on the April 22 ballot as convention Delegate candidates. Hopper reported, "These results are historic. Ron's supporters turned out for delegate candidates in such meaningful numbers to place them on the ballot in every one of Pennsylvania's 19 Congressional Districts. This grossly exceeded the campaign's expectations."
In follow up news, Hopper today confirmed that Ron had on February 20th secured the coveted number one position on the Pennsylvania ballot and that 19 of the 63 Ron Paul delegate candidates similarly secured top ballot positions. In Hopper's words, "Pennsylvania will
again be the Keystone State, this time as a battleground where lost, traditional Republican values of limited government and personal
liberty may at last be restored."
Congressman Ron Paul is one of only three Republicans who remain to compete for Republican nomination for President.
Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Know the Enemy
Karl Marx describes in his communist manifesto, the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of omnipotent government power, so as to effect a communist socialist state. Those ten steps are known as the Ten Planks of The Communist Manifesto… The following brief presents the original ten planks within the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart for each of the planks. From comparison it's clear MOST Americans have by myths, fraud and deception under the color of law by their own politicians in both the Republican and Democrat parties, been transformed into Communists.
Another thing to remember, Karl Marx in creating the Communist Manifesto designed these planks AS A TEST to determine whether a society has become communist or not. If they are all in effect and in force, then the people ARE practicing communists.
Communism, by any other name is still communism, and is VERY VERY destructive to the individual and to the society!!
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are...
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based Education . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". WHERE are the words "fair share" in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is "fair share" even suggested !! The philosophical concept of "fair share" comes from the Communist maxim, "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to "fish" to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be "needy"... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.
Do changing words, change the end result? ... By using different words, is it all of a sudden OK to ignore or violate the provisions or intent of the Constitution of the united States of America?????
The people (politicians) who believe in the SOCIALISTIC and COMMUNISTIC concepts, especially those who pass more and more laws implementing these slavery ideas, are traitors to their oath of office and to the Constitution of the united States of America... KNOW YOUR ENEMY ...Remove the enemy from within and from among us.
VOTE Constitution Party, the only political party in America that still firmly supports and diligently abides by the Constitution of the united States of America and your respected state.
None are more hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free....

County Sheriffs Seeking Policing Powers
Thu February 21, 2008 - Harrisburg
In other states they are the law. But in Pennsylvania, county sheriffs can't make an arrest unless they witnessed the crime.
State lawmakers are considering a bill that gives sheriffs and their deputies the same powers as police officers. Thursday the House Judiciary Committee held a public hearing on the legislation. The hearing room at the State Capitol was packed with sheriffs from all over Pennsylvania in a show of support.
In every Pennsylvania county except one, the sheriff's office is responsible for courthouse security, transporting prisoners and executing warrants. A State Supreme Court ruling two years ago made it clear, sheriff's deputies can not conduct investigations or enforce the law. House Bill 466 would change that. Pa. Sheriff's Association President Bob Merski told lawmakers, "We got these two decisions and now it's taken the knees right out of the sheriff's offices. The deputies can't go out there and do their job. It's a common sense bill." Sheriff Merski also said rural counties with few municipal police departments would benefit the most. The Sheriff's Association conducted a poll that found 65 percent of the public supports the bill.
Montour County District Attorney Robert Buehner testified in favor of the legislation, "Pennsylvania's sheriffs are educated, they're trained, they're professional and most importantly, they're damn courageous." But Buehner is a D.A. in the minority. The Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association polled its members and found a majority have problems with the way the bill is written. Cumberland County D.A. Dave Freed told lawmakers they have concerns about the training for sheriff's deputies, "And we need to know that everybody's been consistently trained and they are effective in our duties."
Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office have the same concerns about the level of training. There's also the question of whether the bill gives sheriffs too much authority. Committee Chief Counsel William Andring observed, "There's nothing in this bill that let's the county commissioners say, wait a minute, maybe it's not a good idea to give our deputy sheriffs that kind of broadbased power with no control by the country over that."
House Bill 466 was introduced a year ago and referred to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Left, right fight national ID in Pa
John L. Micek | Call Harrisburg Bureau
12:09 PM EST, February 21, 2008
HARRISBURG - In case you'd forgotten, here's a vivid reminder that politics makes for strange bedfellows.
One of the General Assembly's most conservative members and one of its most liberal have teamed up to block the implementation of a federal program that they say would create a new national identity card, putting the personal privacy of millions of Americans at risk.
State Rep. Samuel Rohrer, R-Berks, and Rep. Babette Josephs, D-Philadelphia, are co-sponsoring legislation designed to bar the implementation of the federal REAL ID program in Pennsylvania.
Rohrer is best known as one of the Legislature's most vigilant tax hawks. Josephs, the chairwoman of the House State Government Committee, embraces such social causes as civil unions for same-sex couples.
"Fundamentally, [REAL ID] is a violation of several provisions of the Constitution," Rohrer said this week as the House Intergovernmental Affairs Committee kicked off a pair of hearings on the issue. "The most obvious one is that Congress has no authority to implement anything of this type."
The program is "dreadful," because of its potential costs and the volume of personal information that it will centralize, Josephs said in a brief interview. "Here's something that looks like it was put together to harass the American people," Josephs said, adding that, "there is no evidence whatsoever that this will make us any safer from terrorists."
The House Intergovernmental Affairs Committee held a public hearing on the legislation in Philadelphia today. Another is planned for Pittsburgh on March 13. Passed by Congress in 2005, the federal REAL ID Act sets up nationwide standards for drivers' licenses. The cards are supposed to be tamper-proof so that terrorists can't duplicate them.
But critics fear that the required inclusion of so-called "biometric information" on the cards, and the fact that information on the cards would be shared between states, would lead to the creation of a nationwide database of personal identities.
"It's the use of bio-metric information that's contained in the card," Rohrer said. "It's the equivalent to DNA or a fingerprint."
Rohrer also said he's worried about both the threat to personal privacy of such a database as well as its security. He pointed to a recent incident in the United Kingdom in which the personal details of 600,000 people were put at-risk when a government laptop was stolen.
The program has united critics on both the right and left, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Commonwealth Foundation, a conservative, Harrisburg think-tank.
Officials at the state Department of Transportation are reviewing the financial impact of implementing the program in Pennsylvania, a PennDOT official said at a public hearing in Harrisburg last month.
Critics fear that the cost of implementing the program will run into the millions of dollars. The Bush administration has not included state funding in any of its budgets, and Congress has only appropriated $90 million for the program since 2006, said Jeremy D. Meadows, a policy analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The federal government has allowed states to use U.S. Homeland Security grant money for REAL ID purposes, but much of that money is "largely already spoken for by other homeland security priorities," Meadows said at that same public hearing.
States have until 2011 to fully comply with federal REAL ID requirements. But people could run into trouble as soon as this May, unless state officials are granted an exception by the Department of Homeland Security to continue studying the program's requirements, PennDOT Deputy Secretary Kurt Myers said.
At that point, only REAL ID licenses will be accepted to board commercial airliners or such federal facilities as nuclear power plants where identification is required. Assuming the state is granted an exception, that requirement wouldn't kick in for Pennsylvania residents until Dec. 31, 2009, Myers said. States would have until 2011 to finally implement the program.
