An Open Letter to President Obama From Lou Pritchett, a former Vice President of Proctor & Gamble

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America, and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and "class," always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the "blame America" crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer "wind mills" to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use "extortion" tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Whatever happen to "Drill Here...Drill Now"?

Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated mean undiscovered volumes of 3.65 billion barrels of oil, 1.85 trillion cubic feet of associated/dissolved natural gas, and 148 million barrels of natural gas liquids in the Bakken Formation of the Williston Basin Province, Montana and North Dakota.

Have you noticed that gas is going up in price again? Is someone forcing us to go to Hybrid battery cars? What is the environmental cost of making and disposing those batteries? Has anyone ever added up those costs???

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota; westernSouth Dakota; and extreme eastern Montana ..... check THIS out: The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels.. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion. 'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.' says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.

'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years.' reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette..It's a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. For years, U. S.oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves.... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL! That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight.

And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO! U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006 Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling? They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:- 8 - times as much oil as Saudi Arabia - 18- times as much oil as Iraq - 21-times as much oil as Kuwait - 22-times as much oil as Iran - 500-times as much oil as Yemen - and it's all right here in the Western United States.

HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY? James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post. Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to.

Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists? Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're thinking about it ..... and hopefully P.O'd, do this: ... Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices .. because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book. By the way...this is all true.. Check it out at the link below!!! Follow this link. It will blow your mind.> > http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911

Don't Tread on This!

So a friend told me about this guy in Ball, Louisiana that was stopped and detained on the side of the road for having a Don't Tread on Me sticker on his car. Hmm...I thought, let me check that out. Sure enough it's true! Seeing as we still have our right to freedom of speech (for now), I decided to show my support for said freedom and order me a few of those stickers as well as a t-shirt to proudly wear in public.

I called the same online store that I read the man's relative used. I asked how business was and he told me business was up. I asked him if he had heard about what had happened to the guy in Ball, sure enough he had and he was seeing a spike in business related to it. I wasn't the first to tell him about it. I made my purchase and went about my life. Little did I know what was about to happen.

Cue to four days later, as I sat in a group of ladies knitting of all things. My cell phone rang and it was a stern sounding woman who identified herself and that she worked in the fraud department of my bank. Right at this point I'm thinking someone has used my card and spent hundreds of dollars or worse. She proceeds to tell me that a purchase on my check card was flagged. Oh crap, here it comes. Someone has used my card, right? The woman says she will call out purchases made the day before the "flagged" purchase, okay they are mine, so we move on. She tells me the flagged purchase was made at Patriot Depot for X amount of dollars. I confusingly said, "Yes, that's my purchase". The woman sounded surprised and asked, "So, you did indeed make this purchase"? I said again that I had and then asked why it was flagged. The only answer I got was that it was a suspicious purchase. WTF? Suspicious how? Who's watching my purchasing? Is Patriot Depot being watched?

Oh, it gets better! The next day I was at the grocery store check out line. I swipe my check card and I can't use it. It was declined! It's a debit card and I wasn't close to my balance by a long shot, so why is it declining it? The little slip that spits out doesn't say insufficient funds, no it says card not valid. Now I'm pissed and everyone knows. My gut tells me something stinks and I call my husband. He calls the bank's 800 number and they explain that my account was held aka frozen until they determined there hadn't been any fraudulent purchases on my card. Didn't I say that was my purchase? Didn't that alone take care of it? Were they really checking to see if I was associated with any militant groups?

Is this the beginning of the end of our rights? I don't need big brother checking out a 38.00 purchase online for stickers and a t-shirt like it was for suspicious chemicals. I think I can do a good job of letting my bank know when I see a questionable purchase on my statement. I'm pretty sure, if I was a part of a militant group, it would be a group of bright enough people that I would have been trained not to buy chemicals with my check card, I'm just saying.

Now my dad has my Mom buy stickers and a flag for the house. My neighbors are joining in and buying their "Don't Tread on Me" gear. I hope everyone reading this goes to Patriot Depot and buys stickers, mugs, shirts, flags and caps. You Obama lovers should open your eyes and consider how precious your rights are too. I know my eyes are wide open. What next a knock at the door for buying insecticide for the yard?

If Only...

Combat Support for Boston Marathon?

I had no idea the Boston Marathon was so violent, nor was such a target for attacks of any kind, that it required NATIONAL GUARD???

It beginning to look a lot like Nazism.... In a hardening push for a police state, the Massachusetts National Guard were deployed to "protect" citizens and runner at the 113th running of the Boston Marathon.

Combat Support Battalion Deployed to “Maintain Public Order” at Boston
Marathon

On Monday, the National Guard deployed 400 Massachusetts National Guardsmen from the 126th Combat Support Battalion to keep the Boston Marathon race route clear for more than 26,000 runners, according to the U.S. Army website.

“Guardsmen don’t often experience interacting with the public while in uniform, and they see events like the marathon as a good opportunity to interact,” writes Sgt. James Lally for the American Forces Press Service. “The National Guard helps local police along the marathon route to safeguard spectators and maintain public order.”

The deployment is yet another example of the U.S. military collaborating with local law enforcement around the country. Under the Posse Comitatus Act passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction, the federal uniformed services — including the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces — are prohibited from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress.

National Guard forces operating under the state authority are technically exempt from Posse Comitatus Act restrictions. However, with the passage of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, federal law was changed so that the Governor of a state is no longer the sole commander in chief of their state’s National Guard, a direct violation of Article I, Section 10 and Clause 3 of the Constitution.

Last year, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced a fiat accompli when ordered the Pentagon to conduct a “broad review” to determine if the military and the National Guard and Reserve can “adequately deal with domestic disasters,” including “a catastrophic attack on the country.” Gates “pressed officials to better integrate reservists into the modern day military and consider treating them on a more equal basis to the active duty troops,” according to CBS News.

Infowars and Prison Planet have reported numerous instances of the federal government violating Posse Comitatus. Earlier this month, we reported on a joint checkpoint operation involving DHS, federal and state agencies, the Air Force, and local law enforcement in Tennessee.

On March 11, we covered the U.S. Army dispatching soldiers to patrol the streets of Samson, Alabama, after a rampaging gunman killed 10 people.

Last June, Infowars posted an article by D. H. Williams of the Daily Newscaster reporting the deployment of 2,300 Marines in the city of Indianapolis under the direction of FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.

Prison Planet’s Paul Joseph Watson reported a story today on the assault of a local television news team by an irate police officer in El Paso, Texas. A video taken by the news videographer shows uniformed soldiers working with police officers at the scene of a car accident.

Other instances of military deployment and collaboration with local law enforcement are too numerous to post here. The deployments and exercises have increased significantly since the U.S. military announced last year it will place 20,000 troops on the streets of America by 2011 under the control of the Northern Command. In October, the Department of Defense announced it was assigning a full-time Army unit to be “on call” to facilitate military cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security.

As Sgt. James Lally notes in his article on the deployment of National Guard troops at the Boston Marathon, the point is to acclimatize citizens to the presence of uniformed soldiers at civilian events.

Lally said the soldiers were in attendance to “safeguard” the public. However, this role is usually assigned to the police, not a combat support battalion. The military’s job is to break things and kill people during war, not protect civilians from participants in a marathon.

States Strike Back

Last week, Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) fired a warning shot across the federal government’s bow with his polite reminder that Texas could always secede from the Union. He also endorsed a resolution affirming the Tenth Amendment that has gained traction in several states, increasing the public momentum in favor of returning power to the states.

And now, one state is offering a bill that would seek to undo an older judicial doctrine dating back to the New Deal—in the case Wickard v. Filburn of 1942—to which constitutional scholars date the modern origin of unlimited government in America. That decision cemented the “intrastate commerce” doctrine that “constitutionalized” any federal law regulating commerce within a state—as opposed to commerce among the several states. In Men in Black, Mark Levin, notes that “for the next fifty years, the Supreme Court used the commerce clause as legal justification to uphold federal intrusion into ‘just about anything.’”

And since then, there has been no limit really to what the federal government has regulated. Guns. Energy. Health Care. And on down the line. Nothing has been spared from the federal onslaught. But that may be coming to an end.

In Montana, Governor Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat, recently signed HB 246, a bill that affirms the Tenth, Ninth, and Second Amendments, as well as its own state constitutional protections of the right to keep and bear arms. It also cites the general understanding of the Second Amendment at the time Montana entered the Union: “The second amendment to the United States constitution reserves to the people the right to keep and bear arms as that right was understood at the time that Montana was admitted to statehood in 1889, and the guaranty of the right is a matter of contract between the state and people of Montana and the United States as of the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by Montana and the United States in 1889.”

The bill itself exempts any “personal firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Montana and that remains within the borders of Montana” from any “federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce.”

This is a courageous act by yet another state to stand against an increasingly oppressive federal regime. It is a legal strategy that ought to be emulated by states across the Union, to undo the critically flawed activist doctrine of “intrastate commerce,” and any others that violate powers otherwise reserved to the states and the people under the Tenth Amendment.

The primacy of states in the federal Union was once a bedrock principle that guided the founding of this nation. It recent years, it has become little more than an arcane theory of government allowed to gather dust for some 67 years. But unless all three branches of the government—including the judiciary—return to federalism, eventually states like Texas may actually invoke their secession clause. And states’ rights will be a good idea whose time has come—again.

Never waste a crisis!

The Obama Administration and the Democratic controlled Congress is taking this mantra to heart and wasting no time in changing the very fabric of our nation. Socialism is no longer creeping into our nation, it is being invited in by Democratic economic policies. If the Democrats accomplish their socialist goals, America as we know it could cease to exist.

If our great nation wants to be referred to as one of the “once-great” nations, such as most of Europe, it can keep moving in the same direction as it is today. However, there are some important facts that we must remember. Per capita economic output has been much higher in the US than in the European Union. American growth rates have been consistently higher since WWII and America’s unemployment rate has been half of Europe’s rate up until this crisis. No other nation on this planet, especially socialist nations, can compete with America’s “innovation, dynamism, freedom, or wealth creation. The European are failing the most basic test of vitality ..and they are demographically disappearing.”

Capitalism is not perfect; however it remains the “greatest engine prosperity the world has ever witnessed.” Within the last quarter-decade hundreds of millions of Chinese and Indians, have been lifted out of poverty due to free market principles and economic reforms.

Free-market capitalism is the key to economic prosperity, sustained economic development, and sustained increased standard of living. When free-market capitalism is allowed to work it makes all Americans better off. As the economy expands, the rich get richer, but so do the poor. Economic growth raises the quality of life for all individuals and offers more opportunity for the poor and the middle class to attain wealth.

However, the liberal goal of economic equality simply does not work. It only succeeds at making the poor, rich, and middle class equally depressed and equally poorer.

America must get back on track by supporting free market principles and rewarding hard work, determination, and personal responsibility. Let’s not waste this crisis. However, unlike liberals, let us use it to return to our Constitutional roots and our free market economic system.
