 <title>Join Me in Instructing Senators NOT To Give In To Executive Pressure But Rather To Vote NO on ObamaSCare S.1796</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/382</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I faxed the following admonition against voting for ObamaCare/ObamaSCare/O-No-Care to multiple US Senators, since I heard about a Nebraska Senator getting threatened with the withdrawal of a military base from his state if he didn&#039;t support it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please let &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:jlmartin@votekansas.org&quot;&gt;me&lt;/a&gt; know if you want me to send similar faxes to the same or other senators on your behalf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Body of Faxed Letter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Imposition of any Mandatory National Health System upon all Americans and American Businesses would be Outside the Limited Powers of the Federal Government and therefore Un-Constitutional.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if Not Mandatory, the Collection of Taxes for such a System and the Allocation of Federal Funds and Resources to Implement such a System would be Outside the Limited Powers of the Federal Government and therefore Un-Constitutional.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your Oath of Office to Uphold and Defend the Constitution&lt;br /&gt;
Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoins You to Vote NO to Any Proposed National Health Care System.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do Not Give In to Pressures, Foreign or Domestic, to Violate Your Oath of Office.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Liberty Bell Network - Declaration - We Hold These Truths</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/flyers/libertybelldeclaration</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;[&lt;a href=&quot;http://votekansas.org/flyers/libertybelldeclaration&quot;&gt;This Page&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/system/files/LibertyBellNetwork-Declaration-04-01.pdf&quot;&gt;Printable PDF Flyer&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.meetup.com/Liberty-Bell-Network&quot; target=&quot;vk_use&quot;&gt;Join Us&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT:&lt;/b&gt; - that all men are created by the Lord God; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations of such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.  Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient cause; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.  But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Emergency Alert!  Instruct Senators to Vote NO on O-No-Care S.1796 The Healthy Family Act (The Happy Insurance Companies Act)</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/375</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;[&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/node/375&quot;&gt;This Page&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/system/files/s1796_flyer.pdf&quot;&gt;Printable PDF Flyer&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/billtext/s1796_pcs.html&quot; target=&quot;vk_use&quot;&gt;Text from O-No-Care S.1796&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stop S.1796 The Healthy Family Act (&lt;i&gt;aka The Happy Insurance Companies Act&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;aka ObamaCare&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;aka PelosiCare&lt;/i&gt;)!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding coverage of abortions: It assures that there will be at least one plan that covers abortions that are prohibited from receiving federal funding!  Nice contradiction in a federal bill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding the power of Congress to impose this fascist assault on our liberties and the Constitution: Pelosi said (of course) that the power is from the &quot;Commerce Clause&quot;, and yet I do not see any reference to employers or employees being involved in interstate commerce or not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Call your SOBs (Servants Of Bankers) at &lt;b&gt;877 SOB U SOB&lt;/b&gt; - Call once for each Senator: ask by name and/or state.
&lt;li&gt;Tell his/her staffer that you are instructing the Senator to vote against this unconstitutional assault upon our personal rights and liberties, upon the privacy of Americans and our employers, and upon state sovereignty.
&lt;li&gt;Tell the staffer that residents and businesses in your state are not the slaves of the federal government, and that they will not be obliged to follow this unconstitutional seizure of power that was never granted to the federal government.
&lt;li&gt;Tell the staffer that you will work to instruct your state legislators to oppose enactment of this unconstitutional, illegal act in your state, and also to instruct them to impeach any Senator from your state that supported or voted for this assault upon the very Constitution that every Senator swears an oath to defend and uphold.
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Call &lt;b&gt;877 SOB U SOB&lt;/b&gt; early and often to instruct our SOBs in D.C.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Emergency Alert! NAIS Funding Sped Through House and Now in Senate! Contact Senators Now!</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/action/2009-02-27/stop-nais-funding</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;[&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/action/2009-02-27/stop-nais-funding&quot;&gt;This Page&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/system/files/Stop-Senate-NAIS-Funding-01.pdf&quot;&gt;Printable PDF Flyer&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every Thursday for the past 6 Months, Government Officials have raided homes and businesses -- sometimes at Gunpoint, sometimes with a Warrant, and sometimes with nothing more then the burly bodies that intimidate those about to be oppressed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some cases of oppression by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/sea&lt;br /&gt;
rch?q=nais+wto&amp;amp;btnG=Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;NAIS&lt;/a&gt; and government enforcers that deserve much wider attention: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=stowers+ohio&amp;amp;btnG=Google+Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;Stowers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=Greg+Niewendorp&amp;amp;btnG=Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;Greg Niewendorp&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=Steve+Hixon+seed&amp;amp;btnG=Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;Steve Hixon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=Emmanuel+Miller+nais&amp;amp;btnG=Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;Emmanuel Miller&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=Paul+Griepentrog+nais&amp;amp;btnG=Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;Paul Griepentrog&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=Sharon+Palmer+nais&amp;amp;btnG=Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;Sharon Palmer&lt;/a&gt;.  The oppressors plan to oppress us all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today -- Thursday of course -- H.R. 1105 is awaiting assignment to Committee in the U.S. Senate. It stands poised to allocate $289 million to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?q=APHIS&amp;amp;btnG=Search&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;APHIS&lt;/a&gt; for the implementation of the National Animal Identification System. It also outlines the time frame to implement in 2009 the tracking of 33 species.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR01105:@@@X&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR01105:@@@X&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The treacherous U.S. House managed to pass this &quot;Omnibus 2009&quot; in 24 hours, and we have no reason to believe that the U.S. Senate will not pass it quickly and eagerly as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are you going to do? We as living human beings do not go to the polls to elect officials to represent Multi-National Corporations or Lobbyists paid by groups attempting to get their piece of the pie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THE LARGEST UNPAID LOBBYIST GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS SITTING IN THAT CHAIR IN FRONT OF THE KEYBOARD!  YOU BELONG TO IT!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contact your Elected Officials and related Organizations -- as many as you can right now, today, and for the next several days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first person to contact is &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:AgSec@USDA.gov&quot;&gt;AgSec@USDA.gov&lt;/a&gt; and then your U.S. Senators.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Call Congressional switchboard at &lt;b&gt;(202) 224-3121&lt;/b&gt;.  Ask for Pat Roberts (KS) and then Sam Brownback (KS).  Find complete contact info at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/&quot; target=&quot;vkuse&quot;&gt;http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The message is simple:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We don&#039;t want -- and we will not comply with -- the National Animal Identification System.
&lt;li&gt;We do not want H.R. 1105 out of Senate Committee.
&lt;li&gt;We do not want H.R. 1105 passed by the Senate, either by itself or together with other bills.
&lt;li&gt;NAIS is an assault on our food supply and our economy.
&lt;li&gt;NAIS is an unconstitutional assault on our Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.
&lt;li&gt;NAIS subjugates our production, selling, distribution, purchasing, and consumption of food to the whims of beaurocrats and agents of a government that is more interested in serving multi-national corporations and trading organizations than in upholding and defending the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
&lt;li&gt;We want it stopped!  Stop it on Friday 27, 2009!
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then call &lt;b&gt;(202) 224-3121&lt;/b&gt; and complain to your Representatives that the fast-tracking of the &quot;Omnibus&quot; Bill was unconscionable, un-Constitutional, and a betrayal of all Americans: Jerry Moran (KS-1st), Lynn Jenkins (KS-2nd), Dennis Moore (KS-3rd), or Todd Tiahrt (KS-4th).&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Why Reform Eminent Domain?</title>
 <link>http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/flyers/rights/eminent-domain-bike-shop</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;[&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/flyers/rights/eminent-domain-bike-shop&quot;&gt;This Post&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/system/files/RPKS-Eminent-Domain-2006-03.pdf&quot;&gt;Printable PDF&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.votekansas.org/reform/f/taxonomy/term/56,254/2&quot;&gt;Printable Flyers&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eminent Domain is the issue at our doors today.  We know that &quot;the power to tax is the power to destroy.&quot;  A more direct and immediately destructive power is the power to condemn private property with Eminent Domain.  The current abuse of Eminent Domain for private development calls for Reform!  The Reform Party of Kansas is against the use of Eminent Domain for private development. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a government &quot;for the people, of the people, and by the people,&quot; the power of Eminent Domain in the hands of our elected officials must be carefully scrutinized by the electorate and only tolerated with great trepidation and disappointment that a mutually satisfactory agreement could not be reached - and then only for obviously public works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The attempt to use Eminent Domain to condemn Jerry&#039;s Bike Shop did not come from the people.  It came from the efforts of a private developer that could have directly negotiated with an existing, well-established, 25-year old Topeka business, or that could have adjusted their plans to work around such a business.  To see this developer instead take their case to the city government with designs to become successful with another person&#039;s property and with &quot;forward-looking&quot; promises to the city of increased revenue is beyond words!  That a city government would even consider such a proposal is outrageous: that one person&#039;s business should be handed over to another private entity for the advancement of all but the original owner!&lt;/p&gt;
