Five Candidates in Georgia’s US House Races across the state are now members of the “Georgia Bring Home The Politicians Coalition” which is the State version of the Nationwide Bring Home The Politicians Candidate Coalition (BHTPCC) that now has over 80 candidates in it’s ranks:
Larry Gause (GA4) http://www.gauseforcongress.com/
Diane Vann (GA8) http://dianevann.com/
Jeremy Jones (GA9) http://www.jonesforus.com/
Jeanne Seaver (GA12) http://seaverforcongress.com/
Michael Frisbee (GA13) http://frisbee2010.com/
The goal of the BHTPCC (also known as “eCongress” or “Decentralization”) is to enact legislation once elected to relocate US Representatives to our Local Districts, US Senators to our State Capitals, and State Representatives and Senators to our City Halls/Courthouses to securely telecommute for no less than 75% of their terms while while they are surrounded by their constituents.
On the Federal Level, Article 1, Section 4 and Article 1, Section 5, Clause 2 & 4 of the US Constitution allow for this while State Constitutions vary on how to go about implementing this plan for their own State Assemblies.

Where is America’s Hero?
By · CommentsAmerica needs a hero like never before. Congressional members are retiring in droves, young and old alike. Was it too much to ask that you do the job that you were sent to Washington DC for, while listening to your constituents’ input? Last summer displayed an overpaid pack of cowards in Congress, and now not only are they ducking constituents, they are ducking out permanently. What do you know, that you won’t tell? You were supposed to be the best of your respective state to represent “We the People”… instead you collected a healthy paycheck, pork and bribes, party and privileges and now expect a hefty (let’s see if we can eliminate this waste of money) retirement once again upon the backs of the taxpayers.

A District primary Republican forum, to be held in Pocahontas, Iowa, is quickly becoming the focal point for the clash between the Iowa political establishment and the Tea Party groups that have become such a powerful force to be recognized by Iowa Democratic and Republican leadership.
GOP primary opponents Tom Shaw of Laurens, Iowa and Steve Richards of Algona, Iowa will meet on Friday to debate real issues concerning those in support of the traditional values generally found in most Democratic and Republican households in District 8 of the Iowa House. From the information I have gathered on this event, I have no doubt this primary will be full of excitement for all those who choose to attend this highly anticipated event.
The Des Moines Register stated,
“Shaw is also the darling of the Tea Party activists in the area, while Richards is seen as a more establishment Republican.”
My thinking in today’s political environment is that being called an “establishment Republican” might be considered by many Iowan’s as being the same thing as a “Progressive Republican”, which seems to be the unpopular dominating influence over Iowa’s current political environment in both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Previously, Richards ran as a GOP candidate, during the 2008 election cycle, against Iowa House District 8 Democratic incumbent Delores Mertz. During my research of the candidates I found it interesting that Mertz, Richards’ 2008 Democrat opponent, was the candidate who received an endorsement by Iowans for Tax Relief instead of Steve Richards. Richards also received an “F” rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA) during his 2008 campaign for his history of taking stances against supporting the 2nd Amendment. Tom Shaw, on the other hand, has been highly supportive of the 2nd Amendment and the rights provided by this hot button part of the U.S. Constitution. The 2nd Amendment and abortion issues have been viewed by some political candidates as “Too Hot to Touch Issues”.
I had a chance to speak with Tom Shaw about the upcoming event, and when asked why he had originally chosen to run as an Independent, Shaw responded,
“Originally I left the Republican Party because I felt like too many of the Party’s leadership were willing to abandon the traditional values found in the Republican platform. The platform is the voice of “We The People”.
“Newt Gingrich wrote a book called “Real Change”. And even Gingrich criticizes the Republican Party of becoming a party of consultants rather than taking on the everyday challenges of being real leaders.
“I made the decision to return and run as a Republican as I have watched the actions of some elected Republican leaders fighting, in our State House, to protect our values and I wanted to be able to team up with them to return Iowa to it’s core traditional values.”
Tom continued to explain his reason for running on Republican ticket:
“The issues are too great and I did not want to confuse the voters with a campaign as an Independent Candidate”
The Iowa Independent provided more insight on Tom’s choice to run on the Republican Party ticket:
“Last month he changed his mind and came back to the Republican Party, saying his change of heart stems from the Iowa Family Policy Center (IFPC) and state Rep. Kent Sorenson, R-Indianola, publicly endorsing Vander Plaats, and in doing so, vowing never to support his chief rival for the party’s nomination, former Gov. Terry Branstad.”
When asked for their opinion on this primary, Iowa Carry’s reply was that they could not provide any direct opinions of the candidates, but they are paying close attention to the event and it’s outcome.
Although, this event is an event based around Republicans, I have been hearing a great deal of concern from Democrats over the progressive movement having hijacked their party, as well. Many of the Democrats I have spoken with tend to have the same core traditional values that many Republicans have and are only separated from many of their Republicans on a few small issues or simply on the party name their family has supported for years.
Cartoon: Toyota’s Gas Pedal Recall Issue
By · CommentsThis cartoon, by Rob’s Right, makes light of the Toyota gas pedal recall issue that has now been joined by a brake issue with some models of Toyota vehicles.
While this is indeed a serious problem, for those having been affected, there have been many who have come out to question why individuals in the current administration have made such a big issue of this when all manufacturers have been plagued with recalls for a variety of serious issues in the past. One of the most dominant debates going on is based around whether it might be an attempt to help tear down the competition of General Motors, which has nicknamed as Government Motors since the government funded bailout after GM began having financial difficulties.

Just have to love the news bite site – Before It’s News that captured “**REUTERS: Backdoor taxes to hit middle class…” An anonymous member captured original article text:
“Backdoor taxes to hit middle class
-The Obama administration’s plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families.
In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year — effectively a tax hike by stealth.
While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more, middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.
The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration’s Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the estate tax to zero in 2010.
If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated.”

Reuters Retracts ‘Taxes To Hit Middle Class’ Article
I just love Rush’s view:
The article drew scattered attention from conservative bloggers, some of whom questioned the retraction, and on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh said, “Reuters has withdrawn the story because the truth is not to be tolerated in the Obama administration.”
So much for Freedom of the Press!
