ORFORD — Texas Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul said if he were asked to sign a Presidential Permit required for the Northern Pass proposed transmission line, he would not do it.

"It's a states' issue and a property rights' issue," said Paul, who came to the Thomson Family Tree Farm Wednesday to sign the Thomson Presidential Pledge, thereby agreeing to cut taxes if elected.

He was asked by Tom Thomson, son of the late former Gov. Meldrim Thomson known for his motto "Ax the Tax" whether if as President he would sign the permit needed for the project to bring Hydro-Quebec power across the Canadian border into New Hampshire.

"I wouldn't sign it. I wouldn't give the permit," he said. Private property rights are "really basic to solving our problems." He said in his home state of Texas, where drilling for oil is the norm, there are strict property rights' laws that he supports.

Ron Paul Could Win Primary: GOP Strategist

Posted: 13 Oct 2011 06:32 AM PDT

From TheRightPerspective.org

A top Republican strategist says Texas Congressman Ron Paul could win the Republican presidential primary because his message of more freedom and less government is the most consistent and resonates with the base of the Party.

Ron Paul "ties together a package of things that very much appeal to social conservatives," consultant Jack Burkman on FOX News' Judge Napolitano Show. That packages includes a strong pro-life stance, preserving family values by ending US wars abroad, and restoring the value of the dollar.

These values, along with Paul's ability to tie them to Biblical verse and Christian perspective, enabled him to win the Values Voter Summit straw poll over the weekend in a landslide.

The dramatic shifts in support for candidates also plays in Paul's favor, said Burkman, who was once Senate Republican counsel on Alfonse D'Amato's Whitewater Committee.

TSA Agent Charged With Child Porn

BALTIMORE — A Transportation Security Administration security officer is out on bail after he was arrested and charged with child pornography.

Michael Scott Wilson, 41, has been suspended from his job following the arrest.

Wilson was charged Monday with possession and distribution of child pornography after agents searched his Perry Hall home.

Neighbors said he’s married with no children. They said they’re stunned and disturbed by the charges, especially since most of them described Wilson as a straight-laced federal worker who took pride in his position and the trust that comes with it.

“As a parent, it’s disturbing to find out that someone is living so close, especially employed in his capacity,” said neighbor Malik Kelly.

Gonzalez declares candidacy for Ron Paul’s seat

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:52 AM PDT

From Friendwood Journal

Long time Friendswood resident Robert Gonzalez announced his candidacy Tuesday (Oct. 11) for the United States Congress in District 14. Gonzalez seeks to fill the seat currently held by Ron Paul, who earlier this year announced his retirement. Paul is currently running for President of the United States.

Gonzalez was born in Cuba, and spent the first eight years of his life there before legally immigrating to the United States. Growing up in a communist country, and seeing firsthand the devastating effect that living under totalitarian rule has on people, has helped shape who Gonzalez is, and also provides the fuel for his entry in the Congressional race.

"I know what socialism looks like because I lived it for eight years, and I see some of the same things happening in the United States as happened in Cuba. America is at a crossroads, and after truly living the American dream, I can no longer sit back and let what happened in Cuba happen here. I love America far too much to stand on the sidelines, and I intend for my Congressional run to sound an alarm with the American people that we can indeed lose our liberty if we do not fight to protect it", Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez is currently the chairman of the Clear Lake Tea Party, and along with his wife of 28 years, Lisa, co-founded the group in 2009. The Clear Lake Tea Party is one of the most active and influential Tea Party organizations in the nation, with a membership of nearly 2,000 people.

Tea party opposes UN proclamation

At County Commission meetings, the reading proclamations to recognize events and causes are typically short grip and grin moments that take place before commissioners launch into the business of the meeting.

That was the case Tuesday evening as County Commission Chairman Lee Pinkoson read the annual proclamation to declare United Nations Day in Alachua County (it's next Thursday).

But the proclamation was revisited during public comment as several members of the local tea party proclaimed their opposition and disdain for the U.N.

Comments focused on the U.N. as a way to erode national sovereignty through endeavors such as Agenda 21- a comprehensive policy on global sustainability adopted in 1992. One speaker said Agenda 21 called for "specific changes in the activities of all people" on the planet.

Tea party member Bruce Nelson, who frequently speakers before commissioners on local budget issues, described the U.N. as an "evil organization" that seeks to redistribute wealth, open borders and have a single world government.

Tea Party Attacks Put GE on Defense

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:38 AM PDT

General Electric Co., where Ronald Reagan honed his communication skills as a company spokesman, is struggling to fend off attacks from conservatives over its relationship with the Obama administration and ventures in China, raising concerns inside GE that the controversy could damage its brand.

Former Republican Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin last month slammed GE for being “the poster child of corporate welfare and crony capitalism.” Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich used GE as an applause line during the Republican debate sponsored by the tea party in September. And Fox News television personality Bill O’Reilly has derided the conglomerate and Chief Executive Jeff Immelt almost weekly.

The company’s critics will get another opening this week. Mr. Immelt is to appear with President Barack Obama at a meeting of the president’s jobs council in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, the same day that the Republican presidential contenders square off in a debate at Dartmouth College.

The tea party and its allies are taking aim at GE for a number of alleged sins, including the company’s paltry 2010 federal tax payment, an aviation joint-venture in China, moving jobs overseas and taking federal stimulus dollars for green-energy projects.

Senate Democrats to blast ‘tea party economics’

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:33 AM PDT

By SCOTT WONG & MANU RAJU | Politics

Senate Democrats will brand Republican opposition to President Barack Obama's jobs plan as "tea party economics," a top Democrat said Wednesday morning. Whether the White House will adopt the same strategy is unclear.

I talked to the president last Friday, and they are very busy looking at it very carefully," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters at a breakfast hosted by Third Way. "In the Senate, we are going to embark on it and hopefully the president will too."

Though the bill failed in the Senate on a 50-49 vote Tuesday night, Democrats plan to press ahead with a piecemeal approach that will include a series of votes on elements of the American Jobs Act, Schumer said. The exact order is still being coordinated with the White House. Democrats will blame any Republican opposition to those measures on "tea party economics," a "tea party double-dip recession" and "tea party gridlock" – a nod to recent polling that shows the grassroots movement is losing favor with the American public.

That will illustrate "the tea party has a stranglehold on the Republican Party," said Schumer, who heads Senate Democrats' messaging and policy operation.

But a top Senate GOP aide pointed out that Democrats control both the Senate and White House — and they have no one but themselves to blame.

Ron Paul calls out Herman Cain at Republican debate

Posted: 12 Oct 2011 09:26 AM PDT

When the candidates were invited to ask each other questions in Tuesday night's debate, most focused their fire on the front-runner, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. But Texas Rep. Ron Paul targeted Herman Cain — and caught the former Godfather's Pizza CEO being disingenous at best.

"Mr. Cain, in the past you have been rather critical of any of us who would want to audit the Fed. You have said … that we were ignorant and that we didn't know what we are doing, and … you're not going to find out anything, because everybody knows everything about the Fed," Paul said.

Paul asked whether Cain had changed his mind, now that an audit has taken place.

Cain responded, as he did frequently throughout the debate, by disputing the question. "You have misquoted me," he said. "I did not call any of your people ignorant. I don’t know where that came from," he said. "You’ve gotta be careful of the stuff you get off the Internet."

A former chairman of the board of directors of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, Cain went on to say that he didn't agree with the recent actions of the Federal Reserve, and that he did not object to an audit — it just wasn't his "top priority — 9-9-9."
