Update – Montana Stands Up to the Feds
On April 21st I did a blog post regarding the Montana Made Firearms Bill called Montana Stands Up to the Feds! The bill exempts firearms made and retained in Montana from all federal gun regulation. This is a simple issue of the Tenth Amendment and the federal government unconstitutionally encroaching on state rights.
The next step in the process took place on Thursday when a lawsuit was filed. You can find the article on the lawsuit entitled, Montana Gun Suit Challenges Federal Authority. I support this bill; it is a vital issue for our country and will help define the county we live in. It seems to me, not being an attorney, that this is an open and shut case. This bill is legal under the Constitution and no laws or decisions by any court can change that.
DC Political Games
I was reading an article on Fox News this morning that got my blood boiling. It was about Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson, entitled Democratic Lawmaker Likens Health Care Crisis to a ‘Holocaust.‘ Rep. Grayson also said, “Republicans want Americans to “die quickly” if they get sick.”
To further complicate the matter Rep. Grayson has said that he will not apologize for what he said, “Because I said the truth.” Now, what to guess what’s happening in our great Legislative body?
Republicans are calling for him to be punished and a “resolution of disapproval” passed. This is what was done against Congressman Joe Wilson for his infamous “you lie” comment. Democrats are saying, that Grayson doesn’t need to be condemned and according to an email from Pelosi, “Members of Congress should focus on the issue at hand: ensuring quality, affordable and accessible health insurance for all Americans.”
Obama Lies Grandma Dies
Yesterday, I attended the Montana Shrugged Group’s weekly protest in Billings, MT. Despite the cold and rainy weather we had many proud patriots meet at the CVS Pharmacy on 24th Street.
Our message was loud and clear: we are feed up with Obamacare and uncontrolled government spending. There were a lot of people I met who have never been involved in political grassroots until April 15th, the first Tea Party. It showed me that the silent majority has woken up and people are sick and tired of the federal government.
John Birch Society Events
The President of the John Birch Society, John McManus, is in Montana for a six day tour. The topic of his speech is Restoring State Sovereignty and Preserving Personal Freedom.
The John Birch Society is dedicated to restoring and preserving freedom under the United States Constitution. For those who have not heard of the John Birch Society, they have a great reputation.
It’s great to see Montana becoming important in the fight for personal liberties. This is another example of people coming to Montana because of all the work we’ve done for freedom.
I highly encourage you to attend one of his speeches listed below:
Reading List Help
I recently read George Orwell’s 1984 and I’m almost finished with Watership down by Richard Adams. I have a small queue of books coming up next including: another book in the Rich Dad Poor Dad series, Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, and my first Ayn Rand novel. I think I’m going to read Atlas Shrugged first, though I also have The Fountainhead.
I’m looking for suggestions on other books to read, and figured my friends and readers in the Montana blogosphere would be the perfect group to ask. I’ve been going back and reading many of the classics I didn’t read when I was younger or rereading them. Of the classics my favorites are The Count of Monte Cristo and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
So blogosphere, I have two questions for you:
- What are some other books I should read?
- Should I read Atlas Shrugged or Fountainhead first?
Limbaugh runs over Gore
Click here for the video:
Rush Limbaugh appeared on the new Jay Leno show last week and did something hilarious!! He participated in the Green Car Challenge and ran into Al Gore repeatedly. It seemed Rush didn’t mind that it added hurt his score. To me, hitting Al Gore with an electric Ford Focus would be an honor. I would also boast, “It was worth it! It was worth it!”
Rush also had some great things to say earlier in the show:
Tell Obama, “no, we do not want you owning car companies; no, we do not want you running banks; no we don’t want you taking over student loans and no we do not want nationalized health care!”
