"Since it was first recognized in [the] Magna Carta, trial by jury has been a prized shield against oppression ...." - U.S. Supreme Court
The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries. In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect." - Jimmy Carter

FURTHER PROOF IDIOTS ARE IN CHARGE
another one bites the dust, and another one gone....gonna get you too
still want to murder the messenger? the message is out!!
Friends,
I have a little exercise for you. Take a minute and try to identify the parts of your daily life that the government is NOT tracking.
To give you a couple of hints, your answer will be limited to only those things you do or say that don’t involve using your phone, the Internet, a credit card, your car, your bank account, your job or walking down the street.
And don’t forget, when President Obama’s health care “reform” takes
effect, your health information will be going to Washington, DC, also.
Doesn’t leave much, does it?
Just this week, Members of the U.S. House Committee who wrote
the Patriot Act said in a hearing that they never intended that the
government would use the authority under that law to collect EVERYONE’s
phone and Internet records. They pretended to be shocked that a government agency would abuse the power they had given it.
Is anyone else in America shocked?
And then, at another congressional hearing, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve “admitted” that the Fed was “creating” money and using it to buy assets. Bernanke Admits To Congress: We Are Printing Money, Just 'Not Literally' .
If
not so serious, it would almost be funny that the Fed Chairman has to
be grilled at a hearing to admit something so obvious. Of course they
are printing money. Or, if you want to be precise, “creating reserves”
-- and then spending them to artificially pump up the economy and mask
the fact that we are broke.
This madness must stop. The liberties this nation was founded to preserve and protect are, quite literally, under attack.
And they are not under attack from foreign enemies; rather, they are
being attacked -- successfully -- by our own government and the elected
officials who are running it.
As for the economy, our jobs and our financial security, it is just wrong that arguably the most powerful person in America is the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Even the President needs the collusion of Congress to create money out of thin air and then spend it.
I’m worried. I’m very worried. We all read about these outrages. We hear politicians complain about them. We can ALL see what’s going on. Yet, nothing is HAPPENING to change it.
As I have said many times, it is up to you and me. The politicians aren’t going to fix it. They can complain for the TV cameras, but they LIKE the idea of controlling every aspect of our lives. Government is force, and they love to exert it.
The good news: America is fed up. Congress
may be surprised to learn that the Patriot Act is being abused, but the
rest of us are certainly not. The Fed Chairman may want to play with
words, but we know that our monetary policy is a house of cards.
But being fed up isn’t enough. Americans who believe liberty can be restored and our finances put in order need a voice.
They need to be mobilized for effective advocacy. They need support and
encouragement to engage in the debates we MUST have in this country.
With your help, the Our America Initiative will provide that voice, that mobilization and that advocacy.
We have identified tens of thousands of Americans who are ready to get
to work. We have the communications tools in place to take the message
of liberty and economic freedom to every corner of the country -- and
make it heard in such a way that Washington cannot ignore us.
Your contribution today at www.OurAmericaInitiative.com will help us put those activists and tools to work, and I think you agree with me that we can’t wait any longer.
We face serious challenges, to be sure. But I have never been one to back away from a challenge, and I know I can count on you as we work together to make our voices heard.
Thank you, as always, for your support -- and for your dedication to the REAL American values of liberty and freedom.
Sincerely,
Gov. Gary Johnson
Honorary Chairman

avaaz is making a big difference globally.............
Across the planet, millions of people young and old are flooding the streets and mobilising online to reject corruption and injustice and speak of a more beautiful world. A new Twitter hashtag in Brazil tells the story: #OGiganteAcordou. Translation: “The sleeping giant has awoken".
And Avaaz - now nearly 25 million strong! - is there almost everywhere it's happening. In one example, the Brazilian Senate repeatedly cited our community last week when they voted to give any 500,000 citizen petition the power to directly introduce measures to the government.
We're growing by well over 1 million people per month, and it's accelerating. As more citizens shake off the slumber we are realising that the world really is ours and, while we face great challenges, what happens next, depends on all of us.
Because when we come together, and stay together, we win. Scroll down for victories and updates, just from the last several weeks:
Brazil says NO to Corruption, YES to 21st Century Democracy!
Even better, the Senate just voted to make it easier and faster for citizens to force politicians to take action. Avaaz was repeatedly cited during the Senate debate, in which they agreed to halve how many people need to sign popular initiative petitions, and they determined that online signatures can count! Now we’re going all out to get the lower house on board. |
Delivering our 1.6 million voices to Brazil's Senate Bangladesh: Hope from the Rubble
Avaaz members blanketed the H&M and GAP Facebook pages. And when our ad targeting H&M’s boss was turned down by a leading newspaper in Sweden a huge debate kicked off there, in the media and online. Senior H&M executives got right on the phone with Avaaz, and 3 days later embraced the agreement, prompting more than 75 other brands to follow in their footsteps! GAP and WalMart aren’t on the list yet, but we’re working on them. |
A Swedish paper splashes our banned H&M ad
A Victory for Bees in Europe!
It’s been a long haul to take on mighty mega-corporations like Bayer, and it wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration of many scientists, specialists, sympathetic officials, beekeepers and environmental groups. According to Friends of the Earth: "Avaaz's massive petition and creative campaigning helped push this over the edge." |
Wind, rain or snow, we kept up the fight for our bees
Stopping the Mass Maasai Evictions
|
1.7 million Avaazers back the Massai's right to live in their ancestral lands
Moving Beyond the Failed War on Drugs
Our petition was crucial. We delivered it directly, in front of the media, to Guatemalan President Otto Pérez Molina. And the President explained our exact strategy in his own words: "We thank Avaaz for this petition because it gives us as leaders of the continent the strength to debate this issue without it being seen as taboo." |
Guatemalan President Pérez Molina says YES to ending the failed war on drugs
Ending the War on Women
In each case Avaaz members have helped turn horror into hope, amplifying millions of our voices in the media to pressure governments to pass stronger laws to protect women. In the Maldives, our campaign threatening tourism got us an open door to top political leaders, who said the girl would not be flogged for now, and a poll commissioned by Avaaz hit the front pages showing citizens wanted the laws changed. In India, a big pink bus with a larger than life fake PM Singh touting our message was driven through the streets of Delhi, and there is now growing interest in our call for a massive public education campaign challenging out of date attitudes towards women. These are just the tips of the iceberg in our fight to end misogyny. |

It's an amazing thing to be part of a community of citizens from every corner of the world, united in common and effective action. Click here to see a map of our membership by country, or here to read personal stories from and even correspond with other Avaazers.
Our sleeping giant is waking, bringing tremendous possibilities for change. Can't wait to see what our community does next.
With love, hope, and crazy appreciation for this world-changing community,
Ricken, Jamie, Oli, Alex, Dalia, Joseph, Laura, Mais, Michelle and the rest of the Avaaz team
