There are more than a few states that have already declared redlight and speed cameras unconstitutional, hopefully Tennessee will be next. According to one legislator, recent polling concludes that redlight cameras are even more unpopular than the state income tax that was defeated years ago. Legislators Tony Shipley, Mathew Hill, and Jason Mumpower are hearing their constituents loud and clear up here in Northeast Tennessee. It is time for the people to rise up and put these tools of tyranny to rest. Join the fight today by calling or emailing your representatives and letting them know that we have had enough. Only you can prevent scameras! |
State House Representative Tony Shipley has sent a few questions to our Attorney General concerning Red Light Cameras or as we lovingly refer them, Scameras. If you would like to check it out head over to Hayek on Friedman
Friday, January 29th, 2010Help Michael Badnarik!
Friday, January 29th, 2010|
Michael Badnarik is the heart of liberty today. A Presidential candidate in 2004, a teacher lecturer on the Constitution and is the residing President of the 2009 Continental Congress. On December 21, Michael was in Madison, Wisconsin attending a hearing regarding a raw milk case. After the hearing he got in a car to go to lunch with friends, He then slumped over. His friends attempted CPR and contacted the paramedics. They attempted to revive him 3 times with no success. Upon the 4th attempt his heart was revived yet with erratic behavior. He was rushed by helicopter to Gunderson Lutheran Hospital CCU in Lacrosse, WI, where he was fitted with a temporary pacemaker and a balloon pump to ease stress on his heart. He had a stent placed inside a blocked artery and was put into a medically induced coma for two weeks. As Michael was in the ICU, Eric Nordstrom proposed a fundraiser to help cover the expenses. Nordstrom is quoted, “I would never ask for help in this regard and I am sure Michael wouldn’t as well. All the more reason we help.” Please take a moment and visit this website and do whatever you can to support Michael in his recovery. |

If you believe that the constitution protects us against the tools of tyranny then it is time to do something about these things. The Libertarian Party welcomes all that want to join the fight with us. We encourage everyone to get involved at whatever level they feel comfortable. Run for office, start a county affiliate and organize locally, join a meetup group or facebook group, attend a local LPTN meeting, start a blog, go to a protest, call your State Representative, or write a letter to the editor. At the very least, make a donation to the Libertarian Party of Tennessee in order for us to carry on the fight for you. The LPTN does a variety of things to promote freedom within our state. Everything from running candidates and fighting for ballot access down to attending county commission meetings and writing ‘letters to the editor’. All these things are important for not only teaching the Libertarian Philosophy, but effecting political change through the grassroots freedom movement. So what are you waiting for? Get involved today. J.R. Enfield |
State of the Republic Address - Ron Paul
Sunday, January 24th, 2010|
As we start the new year 2010, the establishment politicians, economists and Wall Street are trying to convince themselves that we have turned the corner and economic growth has once again begun. The predictions that conditions are getting back to normal come from those who never saw the crisis coming and don’t have the vaguest notion what caused it. Some of them concede that it could be a jobless recovery. That will establish a new definition for a recovery. Official unemployment is at 10% but even the government knows that if everyone is counted, including those individuals that are too discouraged to even be looking for work, the unemployment rate is 17%. Free-market economists claim the actual unemployment rate is closer to 22%. There’s reason to believe that the correction is just barely started and has a long way to run. If the financial bubble came from excess credit created by the Federal Reserve, doubling the money supply can hardly be a solution. It wouldn’t make much sense for a doctor taking care of a very sick patient from severe infection to deliberately give the patient another infection. Yet that’s what the PhD doctors are doing to our very sick economy. It can’t work. It will make the economy much sicker. If our leaders don’t wake up soon, the economy will be brought to its knees. Great danger lies ahead. |
