As many of you know I am a local coordinator for the Campaign For Liberty. I am excited to tell you about a Virginia grass roots lobbying effort to challenge the power of the Federal Government in two important areas; Health Care and Gun Control. Please join me in supporting this effort.
Donna Holt, Interim State Coordinator – Campaign For Liberty, announced the effort as follows.
“The Virginia Campaign for Liberty will be mobilizing on two very important pieces of legislation in the 2010 session of the Virginia General Assembly. Both are state’s rights issues that pose a challenge to the federal government under the 10th amendment.
The Virginia Firearms Freedom Act – See full text of the bill here.
The Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act – See full text of the bill here.
In the upcoming weeks leading up to the legislative session, we will be forming a committee of people to assist in our lobbying effort for legislators to sponsor the bills. If you wish to volunteer to join the committee, please email me at donna.holt@campaignforliberty.com.”
Please contact our representatives in Richmond and urge them to support these bills! Also, I again invite you to join Campaign for Liberty!

We will assemble this Saturday (11/07) from 2:00-4:00 p.m. to drive home the message of this week’s election – we don’t want no stinkin’ government health care!
We will meet at the intersection of Hershberger Road and I-581, near Valley View. Our meeting place is the site of the old Celebration Station on Hershberger, and we’ll line Hershberger as far as our numbers allow.
See the areas in red on the map below:
The weather should be glorious – a wonderful day to be outside and celebrate your liberty.
If you can’t be there the whole time, please swing by and stay for as long as you can – even if it’s only for a few minutes. Perhaps you have errands or shopping up that way, and will take a stand with us on Saturday afternoon.
Here are a few very important things to keep in mind:
* Stay in the grassy areas along the side of the road.
* Stay out of the road – do not impede traffic in any way.
* Bring signs about health care reforms – and be positive as well as negative.
* This is not about the President – we are trying to influence our Senators.
* Remind them of the results of Tuesday’s vote!
Tell your friends… bring a neighbor… take a stand. We depend on your participation to make this work!
Let us work together to stop ………

On Friday July 17th I took part in the National Health Care Freedom Rally. Which was organized in the local area by the Franklin County Patriots, The Roanoke Tea Party, and local members of the Campaign for Liberty. The event was organized to protest any nationalization of our health care system or any new public choice option.
I am afraid that I must apologize to the other members of RVLP in that I forgot to send out email reminders about the event. We have voted to support both The Franklin County Patriots and The Roanoke Tea Party. One member showing up for an event is only limited support and the fault is my own. I will send out email reminders for future events.
We are now facing some of the most sweeping changes health care has seen in decades. Reform is needed, but increasing government control over one-sixth of the economy and over important personal and private decisions – as many of the proposals aim to do – would harm American taxpayers, health care providers, and patients. Cato Founder and President Ed Crane frames the health care debate at the Cato Institute’s conference on health care reform held June 17, 2009.

I’m not sure how they got the hidden cameras in the room, but here is Peter Schiff, donning a cowboy hat discussing economics with President Barack Obama. There seems to be something odd about their speech patterns and use of profanity though. This must be how they talk when they think cameras aren’t around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cqVZhfqnMg […]
by Michael Pento, Senior Economist of Euro Pacific Capital Word on the street is that the Fed is now “out of bullets.” Many economists fear that in its efforts to spur recovery, the Fed may have already exhausted its array of monetary ammunition and that it has nothing left of significance to fire at the steadily […]
Ron Paul appeared on Fox Business channel earlier today to discuss Obama’s recent foreign policy sleight of hand or is it sleight of mouth? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg-24-o_9fw […]
Today, Ron Paul, released the following regarding Obama’s speech last night. And of course, he’s spot on as usual. Note that the picture associated with this post was not released by Ron Paul as part of the press release. “The President’s announcement that all U.S. combat troops have left Iraq is no more believable than […]
America is NOT the government, its workers, their unions, or career bureaucrats. It’s the people who go to work every day to make the money that supports their families and pays the taxes that keep the government going. THAT is America. America is NOT the politicians, their aides, or their cadre of ‘experts’. It’s the […]
To paraphrase what I heard in Barack Obama’s speech earlier tonight… - We’re bringing our combat troops home from Iraq… and sending them to risk death in other no-win wars. - But we’re gonna keep about 50,000 troops in Iraq to… do what they’ve already been doing since around 2005… nation-building. - Sometime in 2011 […]
The “civil asset forfeiture” laws are inherently corrupt. They empower law enforcement officers to take and keep your property, even if they haven’t charged you with a crime. It gets worse. It’s your property that’s actually charged with a crime, and your property is considered guilty until proven innocent. This makes it virtually impossible for […]
President Obama’s hardcore supporters aren’t wasting any time trying to get the Obama administration another vote for their radical left-wing agenda. In Kentucky, they have started an intense door-to-door campaign urging voters to support “Obama-friendly” candidates like Jack Conway. Louisville WHAS 11′s political reporter Joe Arnold has the scoop: Supporter […]
by Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital and author of the new best-selling economic fable, How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes Watching economists and media analysts react to breaking economic news is a bit like looking at a flock of pigeons flying over the New York skyline.

by Michael Pento, Senior Economist of Euro Pacific Capital I’ve made a living out of exposing economic fallacies, but there’s one whale that I can’t seem to harpoon. Even top-flight Wall Street analysts seem to believe that the Fed’s doubling of the monetary base after the credit crunch has not had an inflationary impact on our […]
In an effort to re-establish many of the links to the broader libertarain movement that some of our older web sites used to contain, I've contacted many leaders to ask if we can link to their organization's web site. The latest addition to www.lp.org/liberty-links is the Ludwig von Mises Institute (www.mises.org). read more […]

September 6, 2010 Dear Friend of Liberty, It's hard to celebrate Labor Day when unemployment is 9.6 percent. Government interference is the single biggest cause of unemployment. Minimum wage laws, OSHA, ADA, etc., etc., make it difficult both to hire and to fire workers. (And when it's difficult to fire workers, it's much less likely that they […]

Originally the message of the Tea Party seemed clear “Less taxes and spending”. Simple enough, Right? Somehow they have gotten distracted. Very, very distracted. I know that all Tea Parties and their participants are different, so it is not fair for me to throw them all under the bus. So for those who are distracted; let me attempt to recapture your atten […]
