WSJ: Glenn Beck's Happy Warriors
Glenn Beck's Happy Warriors: You probably couldn't have found a more polite crowd at the opera. - Pundits will debate whether the crowd at Glenn Beck's Saturday rally in Washington was the largest in recent political history, but it was certainly among the most impressive. ∴ Mr. Beck is a television host and radio broadcaster with a checkered past and a penchant for incendiary remarks. But if he's judged by the quality of people of all colors that he attracted to the Lincoln Memorial, his stock can't help but rise. Read more at WSJ...
Note: I didn't attend Glenn Beck's 8/28 'Restoring Honor' rally but I did watch every minute of the live-stream on Facebook. I was reluctant to publish any of the news reports that followed the event. They didn't seem to get it, including Fox News. This may seem late but James Freeman, writing for WSJ's Opinion Journal, did get it... according Beck. --bc Read More......

Newsletter: Rally with us (2/15)!
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." …. John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
“WE WANT LESS!” say Oregonians at Rally
Oregonians will gather Monday on the steps of the Oregon State Capitol from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Monday, February 15 with a unified message, “WE WANT LESS!” ∴ Oregon families and businesses will gather to ask the Legislature and the governor to avoid the temptation to raise additional taxes, including the taking of the “Kicker.” Instead, the Legislature should focus on reducing the tax and regulatory burden on hard-working Oregon families and businesses. This exciting event will include a march around the Capitol . BRING A HOMEMADE SIGN URGING FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, LOW TAXES AND JOB CREATION!! ∴ Prior to the rally, Americans for Prosperity will hold a “Thank You” event on the West Capitol steps at 10:00 a.m. Also, important statewide and local initiatives for 2010 and 2012 will be introduced. AFP chapters are FIGHTING TAX AND FEE INCREASES. ∴ After the rally, you are invited to visit your Legislators.
Although all seats are already sold at the Lane County Republican Lincoln Day Celebration on April 23, a rally is being organized outside the Eugene Hilton in support of Sara Palin’s appearance there. Please make your sign and plan to go to Eugene that day to let the town know that Sarah has many supporters in this area. The time will be announced later. Watch for more announcements.
“Oregon Train Wreck” being worsened by Democrat decisions
Projected state revenue income from tax collection and lottery fund profits is projected to be DOWN by more than $190 million since the December 2009 forecast. It has dropped more than $400 million since July 1, 2009. Also, the 2009 fourth quarter report was the seventh consecutive month of job losses and declining revenue.
IT’S TIME TO REEVALUATE THE POLICIES THAT HAVE CREATED THIS ONGOING TRAIN WRECK. Oregonians need to reconsider the wisdom of raising taxes, enlarging fees, and expanding regulation on the business community. We must preach loud and long that it is the business community that sustains our private sector jobs and state economy!!! But unfortunately, in the early days of the 2010 “Emergency Special Session” it does not appear that the majority of the Dems are reconsidering their policy choices.
“Emergency Special Session” is an excuse to attack private property rights
Rules of the “emergency special session” allow each senator to request two bills to be drafted and each Representative can request that one bill be drafted. And true to form, the D’s are stacking the deck by creating exceptions to the time limits and time frames, which will allow themselves to introduce any bill at just about any time.
Rep. Doug Whitsett (R-Klamath Falls, District 28) says that the only thing special about the emergency special session is that it appears to be designed to virtually exclude public participation in the law making process !! When a public hearing and work session on the bill is going to be held, the public gets only one days’ notice!! This just about eliminates the opportunity for most people in Eastern, Southern or Coastal Oregon to participate in the law making process. By the time the people find out what is being done to them, the opportunity to testify at a hearing or work session has already passed. ONE HOUR COMMITTEE NOTICE can be forced on the Legislature at any time. IT MUST BE THE NATIONAL DEMOCRAT POLICY TO LEGISLATE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. Washington D.C. has nothing on Oregon!!
BILLS THAT CONCERN THOSE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN RURAL OREGON:
SB 1060 (introduced by Sen. Alan Bates of Ashland) proposes to CHANGE the term “Navagable stream” to “floatable stream”. It then defines a floatable waterway as any stream, lake, or reservoir that is capable of floating any device at any time of the year, in spite of shallow riffles and cobbles. The bill prevents any obstruction across the stream that would potentially interfere with floating devices, like a fence or a diversion dam, even if it is located on PRIVATE LAND. This bill forces owners of private land to let the public cross their land to get to these streams. Three proposed amendments to this bill make it even worse. THIS IS A HUGE ATTACK ON PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS!!!
HB 3661 proposes to exert draconian restrictions on the construction and use of domestic wells that provide water for families and livestock. Landowners currently have the right to construct domestic wells on their property without a water right permit. This has always been an inherent property right in Oregon. The landowner is entitled to beneficially use up to 15,000 gallons per day from the well for family household use. In addition, the landowner is allowed to water his livestock and to irrigate up to one half acre of lawn and garden from the well. Those who have group domestic wells and who have wells for industrial uses have similar property rights. HB 3661 PROPOSES TO REDUCE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ALLOWABLE USE FROM ANY NEWLY CONSTRUCTED DOMESTIC WELL TO 5,000 gallons per day INCLUDING WATER NEEDED FOR GARDEN, LAWN AND LIVESTOCK WATERING. Group domestic wells would allow only one ½ acre parcel to be irrigated from each group domestic well! Industrial use would also be limited to 5,000 gallons a day, including water for landscape maintenance.
BOTH THESE BILLS HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL “TAKINGS” ISSUES. In addition, these bills are not needed!! They will certainly reduce the opportunities for building new homes and businesses dependent on groundwater, thereby costing jobs, hurting the economy and reducing state revenue. And most certainly, THEY WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR RURAL OREGON.
STAND UP FOR RURAL OREGON! Stop government from destroying those who produce our agriculture!!
GOVERNMENT WILL COME FOR YOU NEXT!
JOB ALERT: Workers to conduct the 2010 U.S. Census are now being hired. Call the Central Clearing House at 866-861-2010 and ask for a referral for U.S. Census Workers to find out if you can get a job helping with the census.

Docs 4 Patient Care to hold a Rally in Salem on Nov. 21st
Docs 4 Patient Care (D4PC) (Hat tip: Linda Bartcher, 11/12/2009) - Practicing US physicians unite to represent the interests and concerns of both patients and doctors in the healthcare reform debate. D4PC endorses the concept of needed healthcare reform, but recognize that it can only be accomplished by proceeding in a cautious and responsible manner. Reform does NOT require the nationalization of the entire American healthcare system.
On Saturday, November 21, 2009, D4PC will hold a "Docs 4 Patient Care Across America Rally" in Salem, Oregon on the Capitol steps. See details here. AFP is supporting the rally.

Limbaugh Rallies Conservatives at CPAC
FOXnews.com, 2/28/2009 - On the the final day of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC 2009), headliner, Rush Limbaugh, was greeted with an immense ovation. Limbaugh rallied conservatives to 'fight Democrats,' and find 'Right candidates.' Limbaugh referred to President Obama as one of the most gifted men he had ever witnessed. "He has extraordinary talent," but, he added, "It just breaks my heart that he has not used that extraordinary talent and gift to motivate and inspire the American people to be the best that they can be. He's doing just the opposite."Limbaugh didn't hold back for most of the rest of his speech in skewering liberals, Democrats and the new president on a wide ranges of issues, including Obama's massively costly stimulus package and budget plan. "It's not new. It's not change. And it's not hope," he said. Obama is still in the "honeymoon phase," Limbaugh said, but conservatives shouldn't get discouraged. "We are not quitting. We are not giving up," he said. "The country is too important."
The CPAC non-binding straw poll results (for 2012) were; 1) Mitt Romney, 2) Bobby Jindal, 3&4) Ron Paul and Sarah Palin.
Added 3/1/2009:
- Video clips of "Rush Limbaugh's 'First Ever Address to the Nation" from CPA at Newsbusters.org...
- Transcript of Rush Limbaugh's Address at CPAC is online at FOXnews.com. Read More......
