Send Strings: Make the Dangers of the Early Innovator Grant Clear Written by Kirsten – From WI 9/12 Project Monday, 09 January 2012 00:01 Last month, I wrote about the claim of Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) that the Early Innovator Grant (EIG) Governor Walker accepted on behalf of the State of Wisconsin in February 2011 came with no strings attached.  Those who’ve been following this issue already know that the EIG has strings o’plenty. First and foremost, acceptance of EIG funds obligates recipient states to plan and implement an Obamacare-compliant health insurance exchange. That means Wisconsin has been in the process of implementing and complying with Obamacare for at least the past year. As noted in previous articles on this site, we’ve seen the evidence.  Wisconsin’s Obamacare compliant exchange is definitely well underway…much further than most people realize.  If we don’t do something about it soon, it will indeed be too late. Someone has taken this reality to heart and raised the matter to a creative new level. We’re delighted. Remember back when the Tea Party got its start–how many people put tea bags into envelopes and sent them to elected officials?  That concrete message, particularly in…

This follow is a letter from one of our members, sent on December 21st,  to the absent Wisconsin AG Van Hollen: Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, I am a disgruntled supporter. Today I received a letter from your campaign staff requesting a contribution. I have voted for and supported you in the past. Over the course of this tumultuous year I have inquired from time to time why I have not seen nor heard of you commenting on some of the more obscene activities of those opposing Gov. Walker, especially the attacks on legislators, the death threats etc. The Dane County judicial system  is incredibly biased. Why have you not expressed at least some level of concern? I am a member of the Rock River Patriots. Questions about your whereabouts have become more commonplace. Members who regularly conduct business at the Capitol indicate they are unaware of your  role or level of support. The last two days, Charlie Sykes and Jeff Wagner have begun to refer to you as an “empty suit.” Your silence has become noticeable. Please tell me why you deserve support and contributions.  Thanks for listening.  Larry Cole

In this video, Ron Paul talks about the concept of “blowback”.  It is something that all of the other presidential candidates don’t talk about.  Instead, we hear them spout off about “American exceptionalism” when it comes to our foreign policy.  There is no doubt that America is exceptional.  But is because of the diverse hardworking innovative Americans, NOT the government. Posting this video is in no way an endorsement of any candidate.  The Rock River Patriots do not endorse candidates. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo]

On behalf of the Rock River Patriots, I want to thank you for all you have done this past year.  It has been very “eventful” to say the least.   As we look ahead to the upcoming year, we see there is much to be done.  It is an opportunity to keep Wisconsin on the right track.  Pray for our leaders and our state. However, with all that needs to be done, it is easy to forget about the “true meaning” of Christmas.  Why is it so important in the first place?  We continually hear the cliche that “the true meaning of Christmas is about giving.”  Yes, it is the season to be giving, but there is more to the story.  The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of God’s gift to mankind.  God sent his son, Jesus Christ to provide a means of salvation to a fallen people. Only by accepting God’s free gift of Jesus Christ, can we truly be free.  I encourage you all to take the time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and thank God for His gift this Christmas season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5pkIixri04]

Here is some very interesting analysis about entangling alliances by Pat Buchanan…and contains information about two of the neocons running for president. Marco Rubio vs. Rand Paul By Patrick J. Buchanan In August 2008, as the world’s leaders gathered in Beijing for the Olympic games, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, hot-headed and erratic, made his gamble for greatness. It began with a stunning artillery barrage on Tskhinvali, capital of tiny South Ossetia, a province that had broken free of Tbilisi when Tbilisi broke free of Russia. As Ossetians and Russian peacekeepers fell under the Georgian guns, terrified Ossetians fled into Russia. Saakashvili’s blitzkrieg appeared to have triumphed. Until, that is, Russian armor, on Vladimir Putin’s orders, came thundering down the Roki Tunnel into Ossetia, sending Saakashvili’s army reeling. The Georgians were driven out of Ossetia and expelled from a second province that had broken free of Tbilisi: Abkhazia. The Russians then proceeded to bomb Tbilisi, capture Gori, birthplace of Joseph Stalin, and bomb Georgian airfields rumored to be the forward bases for the Israelis in any pre-emptive strike on Iran. The humiliation of Saakashvili was total, and brought an enraged and frustrated John McCain running to the microphones. “Today, we’re all…

Below is a very good article on State vs. Federal power.  This applies to so many issues that are happening today and speaks to why we have an out-of-control federal government.  This is also due, in part, to the national media.  There is a vested interest by the national news media in having a strong central government.  Not only does this increase the “importance” of their coverage, but also allows for easier coverage.  Most of the media focus only needs to be spent in one place, Washington D.C, instead of the coverage being spread throughout the 50 State Capitals of our nation. The Framers set up our constitutional republic as a system having the power “decentralized”.  Many of the most contentious issues like abortion, I believe, will never be solved on a national level.  To truly solve these issues the States need to re-assert their sovereignty. Pro-Life advocates, for example, have a much better chance to stop abortion on a State level.  As the article points out, if a person doesn’t like how their respective State is handling this issue, they can work to change it and/or “vote with their feet” to another State with whose laws they agree with….
