If Obama decides in the coming weeks to send rather than bring troops home from Afghanistan he will be throwing away perhaps the last best chance to reverse a destructive foreign policy course likely to end in more ruin for the United States.

Our economy still needs to work better for all Americans, the Senate will take on the issue of energy reform and global climate change in the fall, and our foreign policy still faces many, many challenges. You can bring up those or any other issue at this open Town Hall.

America Without “Liberal” or “Conservative” Representation
By Roger F. Gay | Aug 17, 2009

Nothing more immediately spoils the honesty of political debate in America today than the common use of the terms “liberal” and “conservative.” They are too often used anachronistically, in a way maintained in the public mind through narrow relative thinking – and probably more often without thinking at all.

Barney Frank to defend Obama's health care plan at public meeting this Tuesday!

The mother of all Congressional "town hall" meetings on Obama's health care bill will be held this coming Tuesday, August 18, in Dartmouth, MA (near New Bedford)

Congressman Barney Frank will be in Dartmouth, MA to speak on health care reform and the financial implications of it. The meeting will be August 18 at 6:30 pm at the Dartmouth Council on Aging located at 628 Dartmouth Street, sponsored by the Dartmouth Democratic Town Committee.

Russia, Ahmadinejad and Iran Reconsidered

A good counterpoint to the ongoing tsunami of propaganda against Iran.

"Out of Order?", a 2000 Chronicle (WCVB-TV) video, highlights the injustice still faced by men and fathers and the destruction of normal personal relationships due to MGL 209a restraining orders. Interviews with The Fatherhood Coalition leader Mark Charalambous, Harry Stewart, Dennis Watts and others.

Ron Paul was one of only three members of congress to vote against the Violence Against Women's Act which funds such laws nationwide to the tune of more than $10 billion.

(Financial decoupling, mentioned in the article, will go hand in hand-in-hand with renewed nationalist sentiment worldwide, a major reason the last round of world tade talks in Doha collpased. If China does not implode from internal problems will the US become its vassal state?)

I was interested enough in Paul's comment during the presidential campaign that other countries had freed slaves without going to war to do some basic research. I found that the British in their Emanciaption Act of 1933 had provided for payment of 20 millioin pounds to free 781,000 slaves.

Our civil war was estimated to have cost $6 billion dollars. Freeing 3 million slaves held by less than 5% of the southern population through compensation would have cost $1.2 billion.

Paul's idea was attacked it the following article. Comments and responses are appreciated.

P.O. Box 391744
Cambridge, MA 02139

CALLING ALL GOOD REPUBLICANS TO JOIN WITH THE REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY AND FOSTER TRADITIONAL REPUBLICAN VALUES AT OUR (RE)ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING

SATURDAY, 17 JANUARY AT 1PM
HILTON GARDEN INN, WORCESTER, MA
RSVP: mikepotaski@hotmail.com

Republican Assembly Beliefs

All political power and influence should flow from the grass roots upward.

The election for a new Chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party is January 27. Mike Franco needs help in his campaign.

Why Ron Paul supporters should help elect Mike Franco the next Mass GOP Chair-

First, we will receive a much warmer reception from the GOP in the years ahead, especially in the next presidential election of 2012, with Mike Franco at the helm.

Second, Mike Franco agrees with the core constitutional principles of Ron Paul. He believes in obeying the US Constitution.

Hits the highpoints of the argument that Obama is not a natural born citizen as required by the US Constitution.

The campaign to be the next Chair of the Massachusetts GOP began in earnest last week after Mike Franco declared his candidacy at a candidates' night hosted by the SouthCoast GOP in Dartmouth, Mass. Video segments from the event are below.

Help is urgently needed to create a new Massachusetts State GOP.

There is an open seat now for a new Republican State Committeewoman in the district represented by State Senator Anthony Petrucelli (First Suffolk and Middlesex which includes parts of Boston, Cambridge, Revere and Winthrop).

If you live in this district or know someone who does and want to help create a new Massachusetts Republican Party based on constitutional values please give me a call (857 350-0575) or send an email ( jureneck@comcast.net ) ASAP for more information. Joe Ureneck.
