July 4th

On Independence Day, July 4th, we celebrate Independence from Tyranny and Dependence upon Our Creator!

It is due to God, our Creator, that we have inalienable, undeniable rights. These rights are not granted by government; rather, they are to be diligently protected from abridgement and usurpation by tyrants.

Ideas for this Web-Site

I am hoping to make progress on the ideas that prompted me to put together a content management system (CMS) in the first place.

  • Asynchronous Meeting Place
    This is a place for members to meet asynchronously (whenever each has a little time rather than finding a time when two or more can talk voice-to-voice or in person at the same time).

    Thus, people can discuss issues, write up ideas for articles, campaign literature, party growth, meetings, etc. without people needing to schedule simultaneous free-time.

  • Bulletin Board
    A place to put notifications of news items, news sources, up-coming events, etc.

Issue Idea - On Arrogant Officials Regarding Us as Their Ignorant Servants

Local policy makers, instead of performing public service, arrogate to themselves the role of omniscient landlord: they know so much more about homes, business, families, education, finance, etc., that they insist on being a party to most of your personal affairs, to the point of penalizing you for failing to approach them like docile children for their blessing on your ideas (and of course failing to offer your tribute to them in the form of fees and/or higher property taxes).

Issue Idea - On Career Politicians Serving Themselves

We pay (involuntarily through taxes) people to work on new ways to regulate our activity and are left with no money to support people who would help stay informed of these efforts and mobilize a large enough resistence to such new regulations.

Here and there, certain new proposals of regulations are shocking enough to cause a sufficient negative reaction to stop them for the moment. If that negative reaction can't be managed (by the media, normally) to prevent it from stopping the proposal, then it is simply tabled for later, when it can be tried again. Seldom is a second wave of negative reaction to a regulation large enough to stop it (or at to overcome attempts to manage the reaction).

Issue Idea - Kansas Leadership Should Focus on Kansans - Not Big Corporations

Why does Kansas court specific high-profile national corporations and yet at the same time tax and regulate the local families and businesses of Kansans into oblivion?

Short answer:
Kansas Government takes Kansans for granted.

Start of a Movie Review: It's a Wonderful Life

I started a movie review a while back on It's a Wonderful Life, which contains a powerful message of heroic sacrifice of personal ambitions to serve others.

IT’S THE LAW! Feds Pave the Way to TOLL and PRIVATIZE the Interstate Highways as Part of AMERICAN UNION

On July 29, 2005, President Bush signed a bill which permits and promotes the charging of tolls on existing and planned interstate highways, bridges, and tunnels. Before the passage of the bill, known as SAFETEA-LU, or “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users”, it was generally illegal to charge tolls on roads built with Federal funds. What’s more, the tolls collected will be automatic, requiring universally compatible toll transponder tags on every vehicle.

SAFETEA-LU makes possible a variety of programs, all aimed at forcing Americans to pay to travel.
