SD House of Representatives Vote To Uphold the 2nd Amendment
02/17/2009
© 2009 Associated Press
The South Dakota House says local governments should be barred from adopting ordinances restricting possession of firearms. The House voted 46-20 on Tuesday to pass HB1278, which prohibits townships, counties and cities from adopting general restrictions on firearms.
Supporters said the goal is to make laws dealing with carrying firearms uniform across the state. They said people with concealed weapons permits should be able to go from one community to another without fear of violating a local law.
The House killed a proposed amendment to let local governments restrict firearms if they posted areas as gun-free zones.

New Government Tax Prescription
With the non-stimulus bill just a day away from getting signed into law, I took some time to read up on changes in our businesses and daily lives that we could expect.
The 1st item and the only one I even made it to, was what changes we could expect in health care.
Here is today’s bitter pill prescribed by none other than a Congress run amuck.
According to the new CBO report, the Obama administration can make a hefty dent in their plan to pay for all their outlandish health benefits by sticking it to the self-employed. According to the government bureaucrats, they believe that “mom and pop” operations” such as ours rake in bigger bucks, therefore we shouldn’t be entitled to the same tax benefits of “big” businesses who can better afford health care because of the break they get on the cost of employee insurance. In the new CBO report, the tax deduction now allowed for health insurance would be cut in half, therefore, reaping the government over 200 billion annually.
But, it doesn’t stop there.
Also to be targeted, will be our men and women in uniform and the veterans who have fought for our freedoms. The new provisions laid out would also cut dramatically the benefits they receive while at the same time, increasing the amount they will have to pay for out of their own pockets, regardless of duty status.

Responsible Government Economics are Conservative Economics
Peter Schiff in the Saudi Conference
there are 7 parts to this, to see all 7 in auto play click here
Peter Schiff (born 1964) is an American economic commentator, author and licensed stock broker who currently serves as president of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., a fully accredited brokerage firm based in Darien, Connecticut.
Schiff is best known for his bearish views on the United States economy and for predicting the economic crisis of 2008. He has risen to media prominence following the publication of his book Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse.
Learn more from other top economists and also from Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Institute, who has predicted every crisis over the last few decades in the videos in my VodPod to the right.
Now, read the following quote and then think about everything that has happened since our government allowed the Fed Reserve, a private bank, to take control our country’s money. Then also remember the guy (Tax Cheat Timmy) who is in control of the Treasury right now, was the one in control of the Fed Reserve from 2003 until his cooshy appointment to the Obama Administration…Another little known fact is Geithner‘s 1st job was working for Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham-Soetoro at the Ford Foundation (shady dealings there), where he learned the ins of micro-financing. I encourage all to learn about micro financing and how it has been the demise of many by lending to those who they know who can not afford the loans and ultimately fail to fullfill their responsibility. The WIKi article will also lead you to believe that Geithner and Dunham-Soetoro only met once, this is not true. Research has proven he worked very closely with her.
““If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Thomas Jefferson, Letter 1802 to Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin

DC says “We Don’t Care if Fiscally Responsible State Execs Don’t Need Funding”
One of the stipulations the Liberals have laid out in the stimulus legislation that is going for a vote. Word still is, that the House will vote today and the Senate will vote tomorrow.
SEC. 1607. (a) CERTIFICATION BY GOVERNOR — Not later than 45 days after the date of enactment of this Act, for funds provided to any State or agency thereof, the Governor of the State shall certify that: 1) the State request and use funds provided by this Act , and; 2) funds be used to create jobs and promote economic growth.
(b) ACCEPTANCE BY STATE LEGISLATURE — If funds provided to any State in any division of this Act are not accepted for use by the Governor, then acceptance by the State legislature, by means of the adoption of a concurrent resolution, shall be sufficient to provide funding to such State.
This is just “OH SO WRONG” on many levels. Many states such as Oklahoma have been fiscally responsible and made sure their states “Rainy Day” funds were adequate to offset any recession. The state of Wisconsin has 15 old schools that are not being used, and due to diminishing enrollments, they have said there is no need for them to be rebuilt or even remodeled, but the Federal Govt is saying to them, wait a minute, that is not “OUR PLAN” and thus $9 billion was put back into the bill this week to force states like Wisconsin to mandate construction that is not needed.
While the liberals and the White House claim ALL ear-marks have been removed, there is the $1 billion added back in for Pelosi’s STD program aka “Prevention and Wellness” programs. Also added back in is the $2 billion for ACORN, who is still under federal investigation, and who’s actions as a thug promoter of sub-prime home loans that started the whole mess of the housing crisis.
Also, forget that immediate relief of tax cuts for small businesses and the everyday working “Joe”. Every tax cut/incentive that had previously included “2008” has been removed. Well, unless you are “BIG” business such as GM that gave millions to liberals in campaign donations.
So, Congresswonam Herseth-Sandlin, where is the fiscal responsibility you boast of here? I and millions of others are confused, so please explain the above mentioned as well as the dozens of other ear-marks in this bill that will lead to balanced budgets by 2012. Even your own Congressional finance experts do not agree with you…
Now while the liberals claimed to have worked with the conservatives, as soon as the door was closed and the conservatives were out of the room they went back to work to strip nearly every responsible change made to this non-stimulus bill.
The fact of the matter is, is that we are going to somehow have to swallow this bitter pill. It is clear that liberal heads are swollen with “GREED” touting “We won, Conservatives have no say”.
We are going to have a very long road ahead, so keep those calls to DC going!!!

1 Peter 5: 1-3 ~ To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
2 Peter 2: 2-3 ~ Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
