Republican Executive Committee Tries to Disenfranchise Party Members

Today, the Utah State Executive Committee called an emergency meeting to "undue" a recent vote to disallow the state chair to "appoint" delegates. The members of the Republican Party of Utah seemed pretty upset, and threatened to disrupt the meeting. Can't wait to hear what went down. I can't imagine why the grass-roots republicans don't just "take over" the Libertarian Party of Utah. They have the numbers, the enthusiasm, and the money to make big things happen.

"He who allows is the sovereign ..."

Dear main stream news,

Headline breaking news: Wake up America we have lost our sovereignty! Every
American is asked to quickly get it back. "The US was formed as a republic
and not a democracy which grants the rights given by God to live as we please
as long as we do not tread on our fellow sovereign man"

What is sovereignty? Distilled and refined, the focal point of sovereignty
then centers on the definition that "he who allows is the sovereign and he who
is allowed is the servant."

Are you a servant of the government or is the Government your servant? A
simple test is "who allows who"? Who allows you to drive a car, get married,
drink alcohol, smoke pot, even fly on a plane? The government says you need
permission from them. They will even charge you for the permission, in order
to do these things! You are a servant and they are the master. We live in a
police state, just try asking the servant police officer a question about his
authority and he will tell you to shut up! We need to take our sovereignty
back! Our servant Government has taken over the house and we have now become
the slaves.

Before 1789, there was no Constitution. It was written and signed in 1787,
however it did not become the Supreme Law of the Land until it was ratified two
years later. "We the People" came first more than two centuries ago "We the
People ordained and established the Constitution. Therefore ALL government
authority is a PRIVILEGE, granted by "We the People", and documented by the
Constitution. Anything the government does that is not explicitly listed in the
Constitution is - by definition - Unconstitutional and not allowed by Supreme
Law of the Land.

Become a true Patriot and learn the constitution. Check out
www.givemeliberty.org or many other patriotic non government sponsored
websites. My own website at www.stanley2002.org and another at www.usanvil.com
which is about the Gathering of the people who are sick and tired of
unconstitutional actions by government against Americans, and aren't going to
take it anymore, in Brighton, Colorado in June 19-26, 2004.

Why I am running for office

Well, I finally made up my mind to run for public office. The decision really became obvious when I learned that the current representative only scored 8% of a possible 100% in a performance rating by Accountablility Utah.
So, after I read the bills that my Rep voted "wrong" on and I scored 100%, I realized that like it or not, my district would be better off with me in office that LaVar. Now, LaVar is a nice enough guy, but how can we let him stay in office with such an abysmal voting record? The fact is that most of the folks who vote will more than likely have never read an ad, visited a website on the candidates, listened to a debate, or even taken the time to find out the voting record of the incumbant. No, in Utah, I am sad to say that most folks just punch a hole next to the (R) and feel that they have done their civic duty. I hope that this year it will be different. People need to take back control of the government. Our representatives have sold us out and will continue to do so if we don't start holding them accountable. Vote them all out! And by the way, don't go thinking that I am looking for new career in politics. If elected, I will serve ONE term and one term ONLY. After that, it is up to someone else to take a turn. If I had my wish, NOBODY would serve more than one term at any given office. My new "campaign page" is up and running - www.frantully.us.

Consumer protection?

Limo fleet owner Daniel Steiner may lose his taxi license. Did he overcharge customers? Drive an unsafe rig?

No, Tampa, Florida, authorities say he wasn't making enough money. The law requires a minimum $40 fare, and Steiner allegedly was charging less.

(Another prime example of government gone wild. Now, I suppose that Steiner will go on welfare and other tax payers will have to support him and his family. Or, he may be tempted to become part of the "unregulated" employed and start selling drugs to kids. I'm sure glad government is looking out for our best interests.)

The State Is Making an Example of ME

In the past few months, a lot of folks have been shouting, “The State is making an example of me…”
A few folks whose names spring to mind are Howard Stern, Martha Stewart, Melissa Rowland, Jeff (the Hunter) Jordan, Rick Stanley, and a LONG list of others have all been used by the government to teach us ALL a lesson. All have OFFENDED the government in some way that is unacceptable and they are being made examples for us all. How DARE Howard Stern speak out against George Bush! He must be punished! For the crime of speaking out against Bush on one of the most listened to talk shows in America, Stern and the radio stations that air his program were fined THE LARGEST fine in the history of radio. Of course, they couldn't SAY that the fine was for criticizing the Bush Cabal - that would violate the first amendment. Instead, the fine was for being vulgar (like that isn't covered in the 1st amendment). Now Stern has been vulgar for 20 years, and in fact is the least vulgar he has ever been, but the government used Stern to teach us ALL that we are all capable of being punished for speaking out against those who wish to control us.
Martha Stewart dared to lie to federal agents - can you imagine???!!! These are the same federal agents who have been lying to us every single day of our lives. She did not lie to a grand jury or in a court of law like Bill Clinton did; she lied "during an investigation". Maybe she should have refused to answer - at least that is covered by the 5th amendment. The media wants us to believe she had it coming because she refused two plea bargains. But, how many people would plead guilty to a Felony if 1- you believed you did not break the law, 2- your attorney advised you that the feds have NO evidence of a crime, and 3- your original "offense" was thrown out of court for lack of evidence? Not one of us. A convicted felon is not forgiven after their sentence is served; they are punished until the day they die. They are denied basic rights. However, the government was outraged that someone with her money, her visibility, and her confidence could make them look like fools. She must be punished! So, for the "crime" of lying to some scumbag government employees, she is convicted of a felony, must serve time in federal prison, her company (empire that she built from scratch) has taken a tremendous financial loss, and she was forced to resign from many of her positions of authority. All this to teach ALL of us lowly citizens who is in charge and that NONE of us are beyond the grasp of government. (Hmmm...I wonder which political campaign she gave more money to in the last election?)
Melissa Rowland refused to follow the "advice" of doctors. What?! Does she think she is smarter than Doctors?! How absurd! Her decision to not have a C-section when it was convenient for the doctor may have been the difference between one of her twins living and dying. Therefore, she has been accused of MURDER of one of her "unborn" babies. Now how one can be charged with killing something that was never born is beyond me, but that is the charge. Here is one of the things that bother me. In Utah, where this took place, women can "legally" have an abortion up to the time of birth. So, if Ms. Rowland had paid the doctor to abort her two unborn babies when he said there was going to be trouble with the delivery, and the doctor had killed them for a fee - well, that would have been perfectly legal. The doctor would have collected his fee and all parties would have been happy. But, for exercising her right to make a decision for herself, and not follow the advice of a physician, she must be punished! Why, imagine if we don't punish her... next thing you know, other people will think that they can ignore a doctor's advice. We can't have that. People MUST NOT be allowed to think for themselves!
Jeff Jordan made the unforgivable mistake of wearing a gun while driving his car on an Interstate Hwy. Can you imagine the nerve?! How DARE he forget to lock his gun in a safe upon entering that state! I realize that both the US Constitution and the Ohio (where he was stopped) Constitution state that citizens have a right to keep and bear arms, but he must have known that guns are very unpopular now. And just because he has concealed carry permits for many states and has never had any trouble with the law and is in fact a member of several organizations that do not believe in force or aggression for political or social change - why should HE be trusted with a gun in his car??? Here is what puzzles me; if the Interstate Compact allows states to recognize drivers licenses and license plates from other states while folks "pass through" a state, why do they not recognize all state issued permits including concealed carry permits? These permits are issued by a state only AFTER a thorough FEDERAL background check. Of course, the reason is because guns are dangerous, they are evil, and they are scary looking! You see, if the government really sticks it to Jeff Jordan, that will teach ALL of us common citizens that no matter what the Constitution says, no matter how many hoops you jump through, no matter how many exhaustive background checks you consent to - YOU can be penalized by the government any time they want to punish you. NO one is beyond the wrath of government.
Rick Stanley had the unmitigated gall not only to place a holstered gun on his hip in front of a Bill of Rights rally, he also wrote a letter to a judge. Rick is considered EXTREMELY dangerous because he can read and understand the Constitution and the laws of Colorado. But, his biggest problem is that a lot of folks have started to listen to Rick. He has two daily newsletters that reach several hundred readers, he does live radio interviews several times a week all over the country, and he has been written about in hundreds of news articles all over the country. Naturally, Stanley MUST be stopped. Why, if the government allows someone like Stanley to speak out against the unlawfulness of our government and educate others... well, you know what that could mean. He must be ruined, jailed, deprived his rights! That will teach him and ALL of us not to dare speak out against government. Unfortunately for the government, Rick did his time and came back stronger. He is STILL speaking out, still sending out his newsletter, and still doing interviews. Sadly, I fear that the government will also come back stronger. There is no doubt in my mind that there are many in government who would like Rick Stanley dead. For some reason, I do not find it at all difficult to believe that the government might actually murder him to teach us ALL a lesson. I only hope that if they do, that the PEOPLE will begin teaching those in government who believe that they are above the law a lesson. I believe it is high time that the PEOPLE began showing our government servants that WE are the government and THEY are the servants. They are in office to PROTECT our rights, not to abridge them.
I'm sorry I can't write about all of those who have been suffering at the hands of government to teach us ALL a lesson. These stories are growing more and more frequent every day. We need to stop government from punishing people for standing up for their rights, for speaking out, and for trying to stop a completely our of control government.
We all need to show these brave souls a little support and appreciation. They are doing time for all of us by taking the fall for all of us. If we do not stand up a support them and punish the government, we will be just as guilty as the government. Our silence and lack of support will teach ALL citizens that the price they pay is in vain, that nobody cares. Get involved; get in the fight AGAINST the police state and for a free-er America.
