Is the new General Assembly going through the motions of serving the people of North Carolina? I want North Carolina to step up and retake its place in our history as leading the way for maintaining states’ rights as succinctly outlined in the tenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Thomas Burke should be recognized in our schools for his role in representing the once great state of North Carolina:...

The preamble to the Constitution gives the reason for forming a completely new government that will be “a more perfect union” than the current government that was outlined in the Articles of Confederation. We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Van Jones states in the video below that we must continue to strive to perfect...

This past week, Chairman Hu Jintao came to Washington, DC and was given a most lavish welcome by president Obama. This excerpt from an article outlines the stark contrast between two presidential receptions: The lavish black-tie dinner at the White House on Wednesday night contrasts with George Bush’s workmanlike lunch in 2006. According to Chinese media reports at the time, Hu, saw Bush’s arrangements as insulting.

The following article has far reaching implications for our future. Based on the price of gold and our total national debt, our gold reserves account for .0352 cents for every FRN. This means that if we revalued our currency based on a tangible asset (gold only in this case), you would receive $3.52 for every $10,000 of your assets. In a practical scenario, the United States would use silver reserves and property to augment the conversion of your property. This article in conjunction with the unprecedented land grab that the federal government has undertaken should make every sentient American take...

Two stories came out today that at first glance seem to contradict each other. The first article outlines a large drop in the value of the dollar vs. the euro in September. The second article explains that the stock market rose more in September than in the past 70 Septembers. So the dollar is collapsing due to out of control spending by the federal government to hide our depression. Yes, I said the D word. As the US Treasury prints money out of thin air that is bought by the Federal Reserve, the value of the dollar (USD) is rapidly...

The information below outlines the rally on October 2, 2010 “committed to pulling our country back together now”. I have been asked on mulitple occasions who are the Tea Party and Patriot groups fighting against. The first issue with this question is that we are fighting for not against our country and its founding principles. I know that makes us extremists in the eyes of the Department of Justice and Homeland security. Well, we can just add the DOJ to the list below since we now see that this department is fighting against us: they are not protecting our right...
