The Missouri Health Care Freedom Act passed it's final legislative hurdle in the Missouri House today. The bill SS SCS HCS HB 1764 was a compromise bill coming out of a Joint Senate and House Conference Committee after the Missouri Senate passed it's own Version of SS SCR25, The Health Care Freedom Act, last week. The Missouri Senate substitute bill changed the language of the bill, taking it to a vote of the people as a change in state statute, as opposed to the passed House Version that took the vote to the people of Missouri as a Constitutional Amendment....

Today I met several others from our Tea Party group at the Capital in Jefferson City for the Health Care Freedom Act SJR25 Code Blue" Rally. At approximately 9:30 am many vehicles started circling the Capital Complex, honking their horns. The vehicles had signs and banners, were pulling trailers, admonishing the Missouri Senate for allowing a filibuster to continue on SJR 25. They certainly gathered much attention from all around the capital, and inside as even committee meetings went to the windows to view the entourage of Patriot inspired vehicles. At 10am the Senate convened. The Senate Gallery was full...

The source of all rights is the right to life, and its sole implementation is the right to property, the right to use the products of your efforts to sustain your life. The rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness are the rights to enjoy your life and use your property. Rights are an objectively necessary requirement of human life, principles which apply equally to all persons and at all times. In sum, rights are freedoms for rational beings to take the actions necessary to fulfill and enjoy their lives. Any alleged “right” which violates these rights is not...

Today, Apr 8th, 2010 is a significant day in the history of Missouri. The Missouri House overwhelmingly passed three 10th Amendment Resolutions. HCR 25, 29 and 39 all were similar in their affirmation of Missouri Sovereignty from intrusive Federal Government policy. Being able to witness this historic House vote was a personally satisfying event for myself as I was honored to present testimony in the House Hearing on HCR 25, sponsored by Rep Jim Guest and be present in the same hearing room as Rep Brian Neives introduced HCR29 and presented testimony. In addition members of the Missouri Sovereignty Project...

Has anyone heard about FBI raids conducted last night in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Warrants are sealed so no public information is yet available. Rumor is the raids are related to last weeks DC anti health control rally.

This is a poll asking people to "rate" Obama's first year in office. Incredible that it is on CBS. Freep this poll. But the numbers according to the CBS site are already pretty grim for the spinster in chief.

GREAT NEWS! March 16, 2010 I am so excited to report that there has been progress in moving the Health Care Freedom Act SJR25 forward to protect Missourians from federal health care mandates. Sen. Charlie Shields is putting the bill on the Senate calendar TODAY! Sen. Shields will address the "Check Up" rally tomorrow, so let's show our appreciation at that time with encouragement to the leadership and all the senators to do all they can to get SJR25 to a vote of The People! God Bless America,

Missouri Health Care Freedom Act Action Alert!! **VITAL** SIGNS AND ACTIONS: The next step for the Health Care Freedom Act is absolutely critical and happens this week! Representative Tim Jones will let us know as soon as possible whether the bill will go to the House floor for debate this Tuesday or Wednesday at 12 noon in Jefferson City . If we do not have an impressive attendance in the House chamber, we can't expect the bill to move on to the Senate floor as well. The bill is stalled in the Senate, so it is imperative that the Senate...

Today, Feb. 8th, 2010 Missouri Capital Report shifts our focus to the Missouri Senate. This reporter sat in on the Senate afternoon session. First order of business was the recognition of, and a Senate Resolution acknowledging the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by a Scout. Several Scouts served as Senate Pages during the introduction of Bills portion. First Bill to be taken up for vote was Senate Resolution SCR37 which Directs Atty General Chris Koster to investigate the constitutionality of the Nebraska Compromise to the Federal Health Care Legislation by Senator Ben Nelson....

My sister-in-law who lives in Illinois called it to my attention today that the Illinois Primary is coming up in NINE DAYS (February 2, 2010)!!! No wonder I have been hearing radio ads on KMOX, etc....I just thought that all States had their primaries in AUGUST.... See http://www.uselections.com/il/il.htm Yes, I know many of you live in Missouri and OUR Primary isn't until August, 2010. However, we need to help our Illinois brothers and sisters elect STRONG Conservatives to office and THE PRIMARY is the means to do so. We put Scott Brown over the finish line....Why can't we do the...

Wake up to Missouri. The 2010 US Senate Race is heating up with a variety of polling sources pointing out some interesting results. Jan 19th Rasmussen reports show polling reports putting Rep Roy Blunt (RINO) against Robin Carnahan, DemoRat. Latest Poll on Jan 19 shows Blunt ahead of Carnahan 49% to 43%. Unfortunately Rasmussin reports only polled the other CONSERVATIVE Republican Chuck Purgason back on Nov 13-15th. Purgason polled 35% to 42% to Carnahan. I find it very unfortunate that the polling for Purgason is not being current. It is the assumption of the Republican Party operatives in Missouri that...

A Rally and Lobby Day at the Missouri Capital will be held on January 27th, 2010 to support legislation introduced into the Missouri House and the Missouri Senate supporting Missouri Tax Reform. The rally and lobby event is in support of (HJR-56) and companion Senate Bill (SJR--29) which will, if passed, go to a vote of the people to change the Missouri Constitution to ABOLISH the State Income Tax, and replace the income tax with just under a one cent sales tax increase. Studies conducted by the Show Me Institute have proven that Missouri is losing substantial economic development opportunity...

Jefferson City, Missouri 01-13-2010 "Today, January 13th, 2010 is the start of the new revolution. What year is it? 2010, a perfect time to reaffirm our 10th Amendment State Sovereignty", proclaimed State Representative Brian Nieves to the reverberating cheer of a standing room only crowd. Consisting of hundreds of citizens packed into the State Capital Rotunda, the Show Me State Sovereignty Rally in Jefferson City was a day of grass roots activism in the State Capital Building. The rally, organized by the Missouri Sovereignty Project, Tea Party Patriots, Concerned Women of America, and the Eagle Forum is a continuation of...

Recently, retired military have received e-mail messages notifying them of a withholding tax increase. The email states: NO ANNUAL COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) WILL BE ADDED TO MILITARY RETIRED PAY IN 2010. DUE TO RECENT LEGISLATION YOUR FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX HAS CHANGED. After much investigating and several discussions with the IRS, it appears the Democrats have played a “cash-flow trick” on working Americans and are taking more out of American’s paychecks across the board–all the while touting the Making Work Pay tax credit. The trick, when looking at the new withholding tax tables for 2010 as compared to post-stimulus...

January 6th, 2010, Dear Mr. Steele, I have been reviewing the platform of the Republican Party since mid 2006. Unfortunately I find myself in disagreement with the way the party has abandoned most conservative values that used to represent the core values American’s like myself hold with convictions. I am tired of the term bi-partisan because all that represents is capitulation and compromise in much of the legislation Republicans are actually involved in forming. Unfortunately our country has been hijacked by a group of left wing, Marxist oriented individuals who embrace Hugo Chavez and Revolutionary figures like Mao, Che, and...

Bond Speaks Out Against Cap-and-Trade Senator Bond continues to fight against cap-and-trade legislation that threatens Missouri families and farmers with higher energy prices and job losses. The bill proposed by Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and John Kerry (D-MA) sets even stricter emissions targets than the House-passed Waxman-Markey bill. The Senate bill also removes provisions that require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to be fair to ethanol producers and to protect energy-intensive manufacturing jobs in the United States that are exposed to unfair competition in China, an unsettling fact as experts say that the Waxman-Markey bill alone will eliminate 2.4 million...
