Q & A with state Rep. Ron Forster of Ringgold
Thursday January 4, 2007 11:36:41am
State Rep. Ron Forster (R-Ringgold) will begin his fourth term Jan. 8. Forster sat down with the Catoosa County News recently to discuss the 2007 legislative session and a variety of issues, from an official state language to abortion and taxes.
Every year the $18 billion state budget is always a challenge. I think we have done pretty well these last few years going through it with a fine tooth comb. I am on (the) Appropriations (Committee). The hearings that we have had seem to be more detailed and thoughtful than ones in the past about how to spend the taxpayers’ money.
There are some (bills) I submitted last year that didn’t make it through. The Interstate Juvenile Compact has not been updated since 1955. I submitted it last year but the governor’s office wanted me to hold off until this year because it’s going to be part of his legislative package.
It relates with how to deal with juveniles between states. How they are transferred and handled. Making sure they are handled consistently.
The Uniform Environmental Covenants Act: It is how to deal with brownfields and maintaining sustainable properties so that if a government entity were to take over a piece of property there would be a record of the contaminant level on that property so we don’t take over an old gas station and turn it into a daycare.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, brownfields are real property where the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant.)
State OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration): Several states have initiated a state OSHA department and I am looking to get that going. We as a state can use the common sense we have here or the level of knowledge we need for Georgia rather than using regulations from California.
(OSHA sets and enforces standards in the workplace for America’s workers).
I have not reviewed any prefiled legislation thus far. If it meets my five-way test of reducing government, reducing taxes, giving us more personal freedom, more personal liberty, encouraging and empowering the family, then I am in full support of those types of things.
Why don’t we raise it to $20 an hour? Why stop there. The Democrats need to read the writings of Adam Smith on economics and supply and demand. Our free market system works well. Putting these artificial barriers, it just messes up the economy. They just hurt small business. If you have to pay everybody $10 an hour, some may not be able to do that.
I don’t see the economy slowing down. I see the economy growing. The Dow (Jones Industrial Average) closed at the highest it’s ever been. The nation is at its lowest economic unemployment rate that it’s been in 10 years or so. We are still moving in a positive direction.
The governor is looking at removing the income tax on the retired population. Many people are stopping in Georgia rather than going to Florida because it’s close to the coast and we have great weather. It would be a great incentive. I will seriously consider that.
I plan on supporting it.
You assume that English is the official language. The implication is what will it do? I am in full support of English being the official language. Sometimes you assume things are just common sense, but lately we have had to put them into law. In other countries, you don’t see the other languages; it’s either their language or the highway.
The tax cut for seniors, that’s a pretty big one; The ad valorem tax on vehicles. Every year you get a notice on your birthday. That’s the worst birthday present you could get. Speaker Pro Tempore Mark Burkhalter had a study group looking at that to see how we can change the ways taxes are collected on property. I am looking forward to seeing the results.
I do not have one particular thing I set out for each session. What I have done consistently these past six years is to try to stick to my five principles of legislation and have applied common sense to best represent the people of Catoosa and Whitfield County.

What do you see as the greatest challenge for legislators in the coming session?
Every year the $18 billion state budget is always a challenge. I think we have done pretty well these last few years going through it with a fine tooth comb. I am on (the) Appropriations (Committee). The hearings that we have had seem to be more detailed and thoughtful than ones in the past about how to spend the taxpayers’ money.
Are you planning to offer any new legislation?
There are some (bills) I submitted last year that didn’t make it through. The Interstate Juvenile Compact has not been updated since 1955. I submitted it last year but the governor’s office wanted me to hold off until this year because it’s going to be part of his legislative package.
What will that bill do?
It relates with how to deal with juveniles between states. How they are transferred and handled. Making sure they are handled consistently.
Any others?
The Uniform Environmental Covenants Act: It is how to deal with brownfields and maintaining sustainable properties so that if a government entity were to take over a piece of property there would be a record of the contaminant level on that property so we don’t take over an old gas station and turn it into a daycare.

(OSHA sets and enforces standards in the workplace for America’s workers).
Are there any bills in consideration that you will consider strongly supporting?
I have not reviewed any prefiled legislation thus far. If it meets my five-way test of reducing government, reducing taxes, giving us more personal freedom, more personal liberty, encouraging and empowering the family, then I am in full support of those types of things.
What about raising the minimum wage? Democrats are looking to raise it to $7.25 per hour in January 2008?
Why don’t we raise it to $20 an hour? Why stop there. The Democrats need to read the writings of Adam Smith on economics and supply and demand. Our free market system works well. Putting these artificial barriers, it just messes up the economy. They just hurt small business. If you have to pay everybody $10 an hour, some may not be able to do that.
With the economy slowing nationwide, what do you see as some primary objectives to help Georgia’s economy to keep ahead of the rest of the country?
I don’t see the economy slowing down. I see the economy growing. The Dow (Jones Industrial Average) closed at the highest it’s ever been. The nation is at its lowest economic unemployment rate that it’s been in 10 years or so. We are still moving in a positive direction.
Are there any particular objectives Gov. Sonny Perdue is trying to accomplish that you will be supporting in the coming session?
The governor is looking at removing the income tax on the retired population. Many people are stopping in Georgia rather than going to Florida because it’s close to the coast and we have great weather. It would be a great incentive. I will seriously consider that.
Rep. Bobby Franklin (R-Marietta) has prefiled legislation, House Bill 1, that will make any abortion unlawful. Have you considered supporting that bill?
I plan on supporting it.
In House Bill 21, if passed, English will be designated as the official language of Georgia. Will you support this bill?
You assume that English is the official language. The implication is what will it do? I am in full support of English being the official language. Sometimes you assume things are just common sense, but lately we have had to put them into law. In other countries, you don’t see the other languages; it’s either their language or the highway.
Is there any bill you will be considering that will make a tremendous difference in the lives of your constituents?
The tax cut for seniors, that’s a pretty big one; The ad valorem tax on vehicles. Every year you get a notice on your birthday. That’s the worst birthday present you could get. Speaker Pro Tempore Mark Burkhalter had a study group looking at that to see how we can change the ways taxes are collected on property. I am looking forward to seeing the results.
Do you have a particular goal you hope to accomplish this session?
I do not have one particular thing I set out for each session. What I have done consistently these past six years is to try to stick to my five principles of legislation and have applied common sense to best represent the people of Catoosa and Whitfield County.

I have heard around town that the kid is saying that Jeff and Jay have given him money and that they are supporting him. Jeff and Jay have also given money to Tom and Bob. What does that tell you? I also heard that Zack Wamp was to give a fundraiser for Brad? When is that to happen? |

Oh, lets see...Bill has three votes. Mr. Winters and Mr. Hill. He hopes to have the number 4 vote with Mr. Cutler and the number 5 vote with Ms. Wilson. It is obvious...look at some of the sign placements. They all have their signs together. He wants to control the whole County. For all you people that are upset about the Library, please look at who is on the board. Mr. Clark has all of his people on there as board members so that he can control it. Brad Scott, Mona Allday, Sara Hutelin, etc. are on the board. Wake up Catoosa County!! We need a change! |

Hopefully Tom or Bob will beat that kid like a drum. The kid does not have favor with all that you have wrote about. They only say things to appease him. They all know about the lies and back stabbing that goes around. We need either Tom or Bob in Atlanta. Catoosa County and Whitfield County will be ostracized otherwise. |

No rumors. No hard feelings. Not the 90's. Didn't get locked out.Talk to Winters and see if it doesn't sound like Bill. Hill has already started circling the wagons around the SPLOST. If it doesn't pass, we will have to raise property taxes. Leadership by threats. Those were Clark's own words about who he has alienated. Ron has alienated a lot of folks, including those that first supported him. Probably best that he sit this one out. I remember Brad running for something local and losing or was it that he was too young to serve? Since he hasn't served with any of them, how could he have a better relationship? I think most think he is a nice kid, but being a nice kid won't give him an ounce of credibility in Atlanta. He needs to finish school and win a local election before he tackles the state. Or work a few years at a job with some responsibilty. He is not a proven commodity. |

Ringgoldone. You are hung up on the rumors and some hard feelings about Clark and Bandy running the Catoosa County Republican Party in the 90's and 5-10 years ago. You remember the lockout.Clark didn't recruit either Hill or Winters when they started to run and Winters goes against Clark a lot. Both Hill and Winters have their agendas, Clark has his. Clark and Bandy are backing different candidates in the current races. I think you are right on the old school idea that Clark has favoring Sole Commissioner. Bebe does alright in Walker because they have flatlined on their growth for years. Catoosa has doubled in 10 years and tripled in 20 haven't they? Sales tax revenue particularly helps the capital projects on SPLOST and ESPLOST but only helps the property tax reduction on the 1% LOST revenue. I agree we should get more retail because there is no reason for industry to choose Catoosa over Hamilton County. Clark has gained more than lost in making the Chamber pay their own way. Why does the Chamber always try to get property tax money from the County to subsidize them? Clark has a higher approval rating than the Smith family; self promotion gets tiring to listen to. How could the FO or POST ever bring the rest of the County to an ISO 3 or better without the money and management coming from the County? I hear that the Ringgold Volunteers are having a lot of respect for the new Chief. Maybe personal conflicts can slowly be resolved between the old Chiefs. To bring the whole County up would require the fire stations anyway. Clark and Bandy have not gotten along with Forster for years and years. Don't know where you have been. Scott never ran for the school board; but he does have a better relationship with higher people like Purdue, Cagle, Richardson, Mullis, Neal, and many others at the State Level. Your're right, I've never trusted any attorney; even those that were working on my behalf needed watching. Lawyers may not be in the oldest profession, but the oldest and lawyering professions are hard to tell apart. They both go whatever direction the money pays them. |

Clark has never "done me wrong". His mindset on how to run the county is wrong.Clark himself has admitted that he has angered several segments of the county: Chamber of Commerce; Fort O & Post Fire Departments; The Smith family with all their connections Yes it takes 3 votes: Clark; Dewayne Hill who Clark helped get elected; and Bobby Winters who does whatever Bill tells him. 100K and 150K homes are what people can afford. When the builders pay to provide the infrastructure, it reduces the burden on the county. If we had more residents (say 100,000) we could attract more retail businesses which would provide more sales tax revenue with which to operate the county. The problem is that Clark and others like him want to keep the county small so they can control it. Clark favors the sole commissioner form of government and would like to have all that power. Doesn't matter what they agreed on regarding the fire department. The mediator will help them settle the issue. It's just too bad that the county couldn't see the wisdom to build off the best the county has to offer (Fort O and Post). If their plan stands, we are going to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars to build fire stations we really don't need. You obviously don't know how the Republican Party works in Catoosa County. Forster was Clark and Bandy's man. Now they have picked Brad, who couldn;t even win a school board election, to wear the mantle. They do not want someone who can think for themselves. The relationship between Thomas and Jenkins started before Thomas' daughter became a partner at Jenkins' firm. Jenkins helped Thomas with his campaign. Since District 3 covers more than Catoosa County and Forster managed to represent all the district, why could Jenkins not do the same? It's not about where you live but whether you have enough knowledge and live experience to know how to represent people. Brad has neither. To paraphrase you, an attorney may have done you wrong years ago, but it is better to forgive and forget. |

Ringgoldone always has his crusade against Clark. Thinks Clark runs the County Commission when it really always takes three votes. Each Commissioner is his own man.Clark has more supporters now than when first elected. People like strong management and no tax increases. Ringgoldone. We never understand how you preach the word of compassion on one blog and always tear at Clark with a personal vendetta on another. Clark may have done you wrong years ago, but it is better to forgive and forget. Seems like the Board has had a lot of 5-0 votes on the building and zoning codes approving larger lots and home sizes. No one is pushing only big houses. Everybody knows that a 100k or 150k home doesn't pay it's way on property taxes. Didn't the Commissioners finally agree on the direction of the Fire Department? Even FO's Marks was in agreement regarding the Post. Scott is not Clark's man. Neither seem involved with each other, they have their own campaigns. Of course Dr. Thomas supports Jenkins. Dr. Thomas's daughter is in partners with Jenkins law office. What has Thomas done for Catoosa in all his years in the Senate? The only thing Thomas and Jenkins would do is push Whitfield County issues. A no brainer. Scott will represent the regular people, not make more laws only lawyers can understand and cause them to make more money. dontneedjenkins.com |

None of the candidates have any experience in state politics, but at least Jenkins would be his own man. And with the growing numbers of people Bill Clark has alienated in Catoosa County, I doubt his coattails will be of much benefit to Brad. As one local politician told me, people will be voting against Clark, not for anyone in particular.And from talking with Jenkins for over an hour, he does know what we need in Catoosa County. Only his office is in Dalton. He lives in Rocky Face and quite regularly represents clients in Catoosa County. He is well aware of the infighting between Fort Oglethorpe, Ringgold (annexation) and the County (fire department). He also has spoken with Bill Clark and learned that Bill's plan for the county is to only build 250K to 300K homes, which is idiotic. People can better afford 100K to 150K homes, which would bring us more subdivisions (with infrastructure at no cost to the county if we have the sense to require it), more people, and more retail businesses, which results in more sales tax revenue. Jenkins is also the only candidate supported by Sen Dr. Don Thomas, which would give him a key connection in the senate. jenkinsforgeorgia.com |

Forster is out, but the last thing we need is a lawyer representing Catoosa and Whitfield counties.Bob Jenkins is a Dalton lawyer that has no idea what we need in Catoosa County. Jenkins has no experience with state politics either, less than Brad Scott. (Don't know the other guy running yet.) Mark's comment below is confusing and misleading. The depeleted uranium comment is a myth. Please use Google to check "depeleted uranium myth". http://www.military.com/NewContent/0,13190,Defensewatch_041204_DU,00.html Sorry for the length: below is quoted from the above site. "The issue of whether or not depleted uranium (DU) from U.S. Army tank shells poses a health threat to our troops and civilians in Iraq is in the news again. Reports by the New York Daily News earlier this week purport that some members of the New York Army National Guard are suffering skin rashes that may be linked to DU exposure. Before we delve into these reports, however, let's review what science knows about DU. Uranium is one of the more abundant materials in the Earth's crust. It is present in most rocks and soils as well as in many rivers and seawater. Useable uranium occurs naturally in nature as a pitchblende ore. Pitchblende is mildly radioactive, which means that it spontaneously emits alpha particles. The level of radioactivity is very low, however, so there is no threat from mining and transporting the ore, and in any case, alpha particles, which are nothing more than helium atoms stripped of their two electrons, pose no threat outside the body. The uranium normally extracted from pitchblende consists of a mixture of two different forms of uranium, called isotopes: Uranium-235 (U235) and Uranium-238 (U238). About 99.3 percent of this extracted uranium is U238; only about 0.7 percent is U235, along with a vanishingly small percentage of four other isotopes. U235 is the basis of most current nuclear power generation. Depleted Uranium results from the enriching of this natural uranium. Since most nuclear reactors use U235 to produce energy, natural uranium has to be enriched so the percentage of U235 is sufficiently high for a reaction to take place. Uranium used in civilian reactors is enriched to about 20 percent U235, but submarine power plants use Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) with at least 50 percent U235, and weapons-grade HEU is 90 percent or more U235. When the 0.7 percent of U235 is removed from natural uranium, what remains is a silvery, very dense metal consisting of U238 plus a small percentage of U235 and a negligible percentage of the four other isotopes. We call this Depleted Uranium or DU. Notice two things here: (1) "Natural" uranium is more radioactive than DU, because the ingredient with the higher level of radioactivity has been almost entirely removed from DU; (2) Since natural uranium is, itself, not dangerous, then the resultant DU must be even less dangerous. Notice also, that DU is very dense. From actual measurements, if a tank crewman were to stay continuously inside a "heavy armor" tank that uses DU armor panels, fully loaded with only DU ammunition, with the gun pointed to the rear to maximize any exposure - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - he would receive only about 25 percent of the permitted annual dose. Since nobody sits inside such a tank 24/7 for an entire year, exposure levels from realistic times, such as 900 hours per training year, are about the same dosage you might receive from cosmic radiation on a round-trip between New York and Los Angeles. These are proven facts. They result from actual measurements that anyone can reproduce. They are not open to discussion, argument, or conjecture. They are what they are, and nobody can change them. When Staff Sgt. Ray Ramos developed a skin rash, and exhibited symptoms of weakness as reported in the New York Daily News, doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center conducted a biopsy that revealed his rash came from Leishmaniasis, a disease spread by Iraqi sandflies, and contracted by hundreds of G.I.s in Iraq. However, Ramos and several of his buddies from the 442nd Military Police Company thought they might have been contaminated by DU, and requested urine analyses. The Army refused to conduct these expensive tests, but when they eventually were conducted by an outside agency and paid for by the Daily News, traces of DU were found in some, but not all, of them. So what? No matter what anybody says, there simply isn't any way for DU to cause the symptoms Ramos was experiencing. Neither I nor the Army doctors are taking issue with the fact of his symptoms. After all, the rash was plainly visible. The point is, however, whatever caused it, it couldn't have been DU. The Daily News reported that Dr. Asaf Durakovic and his colleague Prof. Axel Gerdes conducted the independent tests from which the Daily News drew some of its conclusions. Durakovic is a nuclear medicine expert who used to work for the Army before he got involved with what I call the Anti-Nuclear Coalition (ANC). Gerdes is a geologist at Goethe University in Frankfurt who specializes in things "nuclear." He too is active in the ANC. The ANC is a loosely knit informal group of organizations that share several commonalities. Among these is a total rejection of anything nuclear. The ANC consists primarily of left-wing, pseudoscientific environmental organizations whose core membership draws on the disaffected fringe elements of our society. Unfortunately, these organizations have large membership rolls made up of ordinary people who do not understand the nature of radioactivity, the greenhouse effect, atmospheric ozone, or the myriad of other causes championed by the ANC. Consequently, members are duped into supporting with their dollars and their votes scientifically untenable positions staked out by the ANC. Over the past decades, the ANC has conducted a vast public campaign to frighten people about radiation. Its efforts have been so successful that, for example, the Germans have given up their nuclear power generation option for the time being, and most Americans and Europeans will tell you, if asked, that nuclear power is too dangerous to justify its use. Scientists like Durakovic and Gerdes have become very large fish in a very public bowl, where they are able to push their private agendas under the guise of legitimate scientific research and popular support. They know perfectly well the minimal danger DU really poses, but why kill the goose that lays the golden eggs of research money, publicity, and political power? Interestingly, there really is a potentially significant danger posed by DU, a toxic chemical problem very similar to that posed by lead when lead and lead oxide particles are inhaled or otherwise ingested into the system. Because lead is so soft, it is not a practical material for armor. DU, on the other hand, is very, very dense and hard, so it makes an ideal material both for armor, and for shells designed to pierce armor. When a DU shell partially vaporizes on impact, or when DU armor similarly vaporizes when struck, some of the resultant particulate material can and does find its way into the bodies of those nearby. Normally, the body readily flushes this material right back out, but if the contamination is sufficiently dense, then problems can develop. Note, however, that these problems have nothing to do with radiation - it is strictly a chemical problem, one that is well-understood and easy to control. The ANC is scaring the general public and many uninformed soldiers and their families with its well-funded propaganda campaign against DU. It has been so successful that last year the European Parliament called for a moratorium using DU. The important thing for everybody to understand is that no one anywhere is trying to hide anything - there simply is nothing to cover up. When Army physicians resist testing for DU related radioactive contamination, the only reason is that they already know DU is not a problem. Far better that they probe into the real causes of whatever afflicts men and women returning from the front. "DU poisoning" is analogous to "lead poisoning" from the old West. The only real danger is when a DU bullet pierces armor to penetrate a body - hopefully one of the bad guys. Such DU doses are nearly always fatal. Chasing the DU myth is a silly waste of time. Our troops in Iraq have many concerns, from the terrorists and insurgents attacking them to a number of legitimate health concerns such as Leishmaniasis. DU is not one of them. Robert G.

Yes, Bradley is Bill Clark's pick. With no experience, he would be dependent upon Bill to tell him what to do. Funny how that works.I think Bob Jenkins has a good platform for our area. For more of his info, go to jenkinsforgeorgia.com |

Somehing we should be protesting at ALL levels of Government Mr. Forster:Depleted Uranium and Gulf War Syndrome, Birth Defects and Dying Children http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5146778547681767408&q=Depleted+Uranium&ei=XmpDSMb9AaX2rALBkpSICQ Google Video Search if Necessary: The Doctor, the Depleted Uranium, and the Dying Children American and British Veterans from the two Gulf Wars experience a variety of health complications, death, miscarriages, and birth defects in their children. These children, the ones lucky enough to live, are genetically deformed and likely will have genetically deformed children of their own some day. Geiger counters go off the charts when tanks, soil, and water samples in areas of conflict in Iraq from both wars are tested. An alarming rise in numerous fatal birth defects, leukemia, lymphoma, and immune deficiencies has occurred where depleted uranium was used. Depleted Uranium has a half life of 4.5 billion years. Plutonium has also been found, which reportedly is the MOST toxic substance known to man. What king of Godless monsters are capable of such acts? Depleted Uranium particles are carried by the wind, which means nobody, not even you, is safe. http://christianpatriottrumpet.blogspot.com/ |

Will you overcome Mr. Forster?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bNDPioifrU&NR=1 There is little difference between Democrats and Republicans now. They are all conspirators in the Hegelian scheme to make you thing business is going on as usual, when in reality they are planning your demise. I highly recommend the "Total Onslaught" series, much of which can be found at Google Video by searching stated title. I have lived in the country most of my life, and there ARE NOT enough bees this year to avoid imminent famine THIS YEAR. If you do your homework, you will discover that the world has produced less food than it consumed for the last two years in a row. This means if you aren't part of the elite top 1%, that means Buffet, Gates, and those many times richer who are never audited because they own the bank, who are worth trillions of dollars you will eventually starve or be enslaved. I have heard estimates that David Rockefeller is worth $10 trillion, and that the Rothschild family is worth over $100 trillion. These are not nice people. Mayer Rothschild said 200 years ago "Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes it's laws." Goethe said "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe thet are free." Are you blinded by the propaganda the media would have us to believe? There is only one place you will always find 100% truth, and that truth will set you free. That place is the Bible, the Living Word of God. There you will find Jesus. Without him all is vain. Seek him and you will find him. This is God's promise to you spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ himself. I pray that everyone who reads this will check the references in the video and will take a few moments to read about and comprehend pollination. Most of all I hope you will seek Jesus because he is coming back very soon, and without him your soul will be destroyed, with no hope of recovery. |

We are succeeding in our endeavor to get our governments attention. Today, during an “Open Rule” on the house floor, there were approximately 100 trucks (reported by FOX News) around the House of Representatives, honking in protest of the issues at hand...attempting to get our governments attention. Well I am happy to say we are gaining in our efforts. Several Rep’s spoke out about the outcry of American citizens and the in-actions of this administration - pointing out the trucks outside honking their horns. It’s a start my fellow Americans.Of the many Rep’s to speak out, one stood prominent out of them all. Rep. Don Young, republican-AK spoke out with strong convictions about the need to help the citizens and statements of what our government has done in the past, and what this administration needs to do now. Of the many Rep’s that spoke out, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, republican-GA states, “We’re not doing our jobs…” We ARE getting the attention of our state representatives through our efforts of communication to them. Keep up the onslaught of emails and phone calls to your rep’s. This is a positive tool which is working. Keep telling your State Rep’s we need immediate action to help with the “Fuel Crisis”, inter-mediate and long term solutions to our citizens concerns. Spread the message of unity. Support the efforts of those that are standing up for us and speaking out. This is only a beginning to the end result of taking our country back…restoring the greatness America once had. Let our government, and the world watching, know that American Citizens will not go down without a fight. |

Slynay, I wish you the best on your battle. I wish you had more support than just the affected truckers. I'm behind you 100%. I just don't think there are enough people with the same incentive as yourself who are willing to put their "assets" on the line like you're doing. The only thing I'm ticked about is the misconception that wanna-be Presidents really care about the problem. I read and watch the news quite a bit. Hillary Clinton predicted that just the act of our electing her as President would automatically cut the price of oil. She also said that former President Jimmy Carter had the right idea and was moving toward energy independence, but when Ronald Reagan was elected he tore Carter's wall of progression down. If you'll remember correctly, when Reagan was elected gas prices went down because he deregulated AND cut taxes. After bashing the oil companies late last year for their massive profits, Bill and Hillary got rid of the contents of their blind trust because it contained investments of anywhere from $5 million to $25 million in different companies, INCLUDING oil companies (can you say 'political suicide'?). I don't claim to know what the solution is. If I did, I'd have enough money to keep my cars full of gas. I just don't see how you're making any money sitting idle on the side of the road. I do however wish you the best. |

I guess yoOver the past few days, Owner Operators have shown the world that we will Stand United.Polls done on the Internet show 80% of the American People Support this shutdown. While many in the Media called it un- organized, I must reply "was it " ? First take a look at how it fell into place, Each area was chosen so as not to cause harm to the economy in any way, but rather to send a Loud & Clear Message to Washington DC No one wants a strike, but then No one wants to go Bankrupt. With the current state of the economy we the Owner Operators understand our services are vital to this nation. We are being heard, Vermont has called on the state attorney general to look at the Oil Co's & see if they are price fixin or price gouge'n. This movement is not intended to hurt but rather to help our economy. Look to history, when the Trucking Ind is strong the economy follows suit. Our service has a lot to do with what you & I pay for everything needed in our daily lives. Please inform everyone that this action is still underway. The shutdown that started on April Fools Day was more of a wake up call to our goverment. Someone in Washington DC needs to be the first to step up and start the ball rolling for a real cure to this Industry's Issues Since the April 1st shutdown , I have gotten over 300% more trucking Co's as well as other Industrys that have said they too would join in if we were to hold a full scale shutdown. u don't watch the news very often..There are more than a few hundred O/O's in this protest.. |

I don't want to bust anyone's bubble, but all I'm seeing is a bunch of pro-Clinton mumbo-jumbo. It's all well and good that she talked to several truckers and praised them for voicing their discontent. Those same truckers she talked to will still be sitting on the side of the road, unable to get to where they're going because they're out of gas and can't afford to fill the tank up to possibly get another mile up the road, if and when she gets into office. This is going to take more than listening to some pre-election garbage coming from the mouths of politicians. A boycott of certain brands of gasoline has worked in some areas, but you're not going to be able to get multi-state cooperation in order for the tactic to really be effective. Even a state full of truckers protesting isn't going to put a dent into the problem. The only thing a few hundred trucks sitting on the side of the road in protest is going to do is give some indepents a lot more work. You're never going to get 100 % cooperation on anything. Nosing up to politicians sure isn't the answer. They're a big part of the problem! They're going to tell you anything they think you want to hear. You vote for them. They're in office. What truckers? What gas problem? Enough of how Hillary is going to bring lower gas prices to the country. Does she have any stock in the oil companies? Is she having trouble finding the money to fill her car up? I don't know what the solution is. I do know that sitting on the side of the road, refusing to roll, not getting at least some semblence of a paycheck, isn't accomplishing anything. Listening to politicians is foolish. Do you think Union reps really care? They're still getting a paycheck. You're also always going to have scabs crossing a picket line. Has everyone forgotten a few years ago when they tried the big truckers strike and were threatened with prosecution if they didn't roll again? Keep politics out of if. This isn't only affecting truckers. Some people can't afford the gas to get to work. Most don't have a Union (politicians also) to fall back on. Keep the trucks running and find another type of ammunition. Sounds like a good stage for Ross Perot..................... |

Clinton meets with disgruntled truckersPosted: 04:36 PM ET Clinton campaigned in Pennsylvania Monday. HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (CNN) – Despite the spitting rain and the chilly weather, Hillary Clinton lingered in a parking lot in Pennsylvania Monday before a campaign event to speak to a group of about two dozen truckers who had gathered to protest the effect of rising gas prices on their industry. Clinton was set to host an afternoon economic roundtable at the Capital Diner here, but when Clinton’s campaign plane landed in Harrisburg, her campaign learned from her advance staff about the small but vocal demonstration being held at the diner. The New York senator hustled out of her motorcade of SUVs on arriving to chat for several minutes with the truckers, who voiced concerns about fuel costs. As passing big rigs honked, some truckers told Clinton they were being blamed by retailers for the rising costs of trucking, a problem they said was owed to high gas prices. Clinton listened intently and then spoke about the need for the next president to focus on working families and alternative energies. She also promised to combat price gouging and examine the possibility of regulating oil markets. Two of the truck drivers, named Mark and J.B., were invited to join her economic roundtable inside the diner, where Clinton praised them for voicing their discontent. “I want to thank Mark and J.B. because they are doing what Americans do,” Clinton said, concluding the roundtable. “When you finally get pushed to the end of the rope you have to stand up and say enough. And that’s what this election should be about.” – CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby "SHUT THEM TRUCKS DOWN" ........UNITED WE STAND |

Atlantaburning...what is amazing to me is the entire "collective right" issue and that people and lawmakers actually think the 2nd ammend. is referring to that instead of an individual right. Who in their right mind can actually think our founding fathers meant it to be a collective right for militia only. Individuals could not bear arms in England...they came to America. Had it not been for the individual right to bears arms, we would all be British today. I am watching the DC case closely and will remember who is for or against the 2nd ammendment. |

What do you think Mr. Forster?Legislation From the Bench Law Abiding Government 1:33 AM on Mar. 24, 2008 http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/march2008/032008_mammoth_hoax.htm When any court violates the "Supreme Law of the Land" by allowing any form of violation of that law, they themselves have become the outlaws, not those who refuse to abide by their decisions and continue to exercise fully those inalienable rights described in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. I intend to follow the real law. There has been no Constitutional amendment repealing the second amendment, therefore it is just as absolute and concrete as the day it was written. Should the Congress and the States choose to pass and ratify such an amendment there will be an attempt at a Second American Revolution. Sometimes the trash can become so infested with maggots that the best approach is to rid oneself of can and all. |

I posted this yesterday but it is nowhere to be found. Moderator, did you delete me with giving me a warning? I didn't say anything bad. I was just wondering what everyones take is on Rev. Jerimiah Wright? This is a timely question. Shouldn't be offensive to anyone. Can't even see JBT giving him a passing nod. But who knows who will accept his un-American sermon. Also, wasn't it Obama that said he refused to wear an American flag in his coat lapel be cause he didn't want that to define who and what he was about? But when he gave the speech explaining his inability to "disown" Rev. Wright I counted about 10 flags standing behind him. So what are we to take from that message? Now that he is feeling a little heat he wants us all to think he is a real Patriot and everything will be alright as long as there are flags in the picture. Now this morning I can add that in an interview on FOX News, with Malik Shabazz, they asked him if he reallly thought the American government was responsible for the spread of AIDS among black America. Mr. Shabazz is a member of the New Black Panther organization and he said he wasn't sure. Seems he named a depopulation speech by Henry Kissinger that stated that small pox vacinations were causing AIDS in some African nations. I didn't get to hear the whole thing, just pieces, but will be looking for this comment from Kissinger. Sounds like an Urban Legend to me. Or someone is paranoid. There is no way Obama has been a member of that church for 20 years and he didn't know what was being said. He wants to pass it off as this is being said in all black churches. I don't think the point is black or white church, it shouldn't be said in any church. It is devisive and wrong-thinking. Definitely not spirituallly led. Well anyway, thought I would try and see if it made the blog this morning. Tried to put it under the Politics headline but no box for posting would come up. Sorry it appears on this page. |

Would you care to comment on this Mr. Forster?"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15-20 (NKJV) American Troops Going Insane....Bring Them Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq5_vG3cYGM Lou Dobbs on the Alex Jones Show 3-06-2008 (2 Parts) part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEljPwaoRys part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNRHSwloeq8 Many of you will find the type of behavior documented in the videos above to be highly disgusting and offensive, and rightly so. Our President ran on a platform of empty promises to Christians in order to have a wide enough range of appeal among conservatives to win the election in 2000 and in 2004. This is a small example of the type of sick and sadistic behavior that George W Bush and Dick Cheney really condone. As an American I am outraged, as a Christian I am appalled. Some of you will be tempted to write these off as isolated incidents. I wish I could say that is the case, but I have seen and read way too much to be so deceived. This administration is pure evil, and there is nothing good that has, or can come from it. Don’t take my word for it, do your own research with an open mind and you will find the amount of proof that exists is voluminous and convicting beyond any shadow of a doubt. For my Christian brothers and sisters I encourage you to examine the behavior of the Bush administration and ask yourselves if you can Biblically justify continuing to tolerate such actions from one who calls himself a brother. He is a Knight of Eulogia, as are all Skull and Bones members. He lay in a coffin and masturbated in front of his fellow society members, including his own father, and gave a detailed account of all of his sexual history. He drank wine from a human skull. He also took a blasphemous oath when he was initiated into the Society of Death. Can a true Christian do such a thing? The answer is NO. Has he repented and denounced such activities? The answer is NO. He is playing the religious card to justify an agenda of pure evil. For my fellow Americans who are not outraged by this President for whatever reason I ask that you take an unbiased look at all that he has done that is known to be factual and true since the beginning of his first administration. There is enough documented evidence to not only impeach both the President and the Vice President, but to convict them of treason against the United States of America!!! Research the text of his Executive Orders and weigh them against the Constitution. He and Cheney both have violated their respective oaths of office countless times, and in countless ways. The evidence against this administration is both concrete and conclusive if you will only look to the greatest source of reliable information, which is the Internet. This is utter rubbish, and if we are to survive as a nation we must unite, arise, and say NO MORE!!! If we as a church (all true believers in Christ alone for salvation,) are to avoid the wrath of God we must denounce such apostasy. Someone once said “If God doesn’t judge America he would have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.” I am very much in agreement. If you will read the Biblical account of the destruction of those cities you will find both in Genesis and in Deuteronomy that they were not destroyed merely for sexual immorality, as is commonly taught, their downfall was violence and cruelty. If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever can we logically expect him to tolerate such behavior from us? He also flooded and destroyed all life on earth because of the violence of the people, as is clearly stated in his Word. This type of behavior is not merely accepted in our military, it is being taught and encouraged, just as it is being encouraged in our now Para militarized law enforcement and our unwarranted unconstitutional Department of Homeland Security at home. If you think we can do nothing and expect to avoid falling prey to this amoral mindset of killing and terror I suggest that you seriously reconsider the matter. What are you going to do? |

Do you honestly believe all this crap that you are saying is the truth. I guess all of the holocaust survivors are just a pack of liars as well. And our own government had planes fly into the World Trade Center and kill all those people. Believe what you want, I will believe what I want. |

What do you think of this Mr. Forster?Never Again? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELjgVq6GtPA That is what the Western world, who have been fed propaganda all throughout the history of America, has said regarding the holocaust. Indeed the holocaust was tragic, and indeed we should say “never again,” but I CHALLENGE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU to research what you think you know about the subject. The official account of history is a lie, a myth, and a hoax. Elitist Jews Hell-bent on controlling the world have played us all for fools. I am not making baseless claims. You can start your research here: http://social.infowars.com/group.php?group_id=675 http://www.buttonproject.com/facts.php http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v01/v01p--5_Butz.html http://judicial-inc.biz/Auschwitz.htm I don’t expect you to stop with this information. It is simply a beginning. If the official historical account of the holocaust were so irrefutable why is it criminal to challenge it throughout most of Western Europe, Canada, and other countries that have “hate speech” laws? If I stood on the street corner shouting one plus one equals three people might laugh, but no one would throw me in jail because they wouldn’t be afraid of my obviously false statement. While we have been fed propaganda regarding the Middle East, they have been fed propaganda regarding us. That’s right, the elite ALWAYS play dirty. The money changers have financed both sides of wars for centuries. Prescott Bush, George W’s Grandfather financed Hitler. He was a United States Senator!!! Don’t take my word for it check it out. We are not fighting a “War on Terror,” we are fighting a “War OF Terror!!!” Tell Congress “Never Again” indeed!!! There was once a certain man of Galilee who shared my contempt for money changers. He drove them out of the Temple with a whip!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RRwZe1LUug We can’t afford this immoral unjust war any longer, ESPECIALLY when sums of money as large as $9 billion are unaccounted for. I don’t like Islam either, but that is hardly an excuse for mass murder, which is exactly what we are now doing. If we were a “Christian” nation, as many of you reading this claim that we are, we would not be killing women and children, and we would not be attacking people who have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to us!!! We would not tolerate an attack on US soil by our own government such as 9/11. It would seem that David Rockefeller (a Rothschild,) who wanted a “New Pearl Harbor” as a catalyst for the Project for a New American Century conveniently got his wish!!! Oh, by the way, have you heard that one out of every two Americans will develop cancer during their lifetime? I wonder how long it will take for EVERY American to develop cancer at the rate we are dumping tons of depleted uranium all over the world? If the only thing you can say is “they want to kill ALL of us,” or whine about the poor pitiful Jews spare me. I won’t read it. Yes “THEY” do want to kill all of us, “THEY” being the same ultra rich Zionists who betrayed their own people during WW II and have sold the world a flat out lie ever since. Don’t bother me with accusations of “anti-Semitism” either. Learn the difference between “anti-Semitism” and “Zionism.” Mark Lance Earhart |

and now for something equally as interesting as ATLANTABURNING's posts:Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Coverage Owner(s)’ Responsibilities Motor vehicle owners and lessees in this state are required to maintain continuous mandatory liability insurance coverage on their vehicle(s) to: Legally drive the vehicle(s); Register and obtain Georgia license plates (tags); and, Renew, replace, or transfer their existing Georgia license plates (tags). Non-motorized vehicles, i.e. trailers, campers, etc., and vehicles exempt from registration in this state, i.e. snowmobiles, bicycles, mopeds, all-terrain vehicles, golf carts, etc., do not require insurance coverage. Click here to view a list of vehicles exempt from registration in Georgia. Insurers Must Be Licensed Insurers must be licensed with the Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner’s office (ICO) to be able to issue Georgia motor vehicle liability insurance policies. For licensing requirements, please contact the Regulatory Services Division of the Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner's office or click here to connect to their web site. Insurers Must Electronically Transmit Insurance Information Insurers are required by law to electronically transmit insurance information to this Department’s GEICS insurance database within thirty- (30) days of the date the insurance coverage is to begin. Insurers must also electronically report insurance information for terminations and additions or deletions of vehicles from existing policies. Vehicles registered in this state under the International Registration Plan (IRP), self-insured vehicles and fleet vehicles must have Georgia liability insurance coverage but are exempt from the electronic reporting requirements. GEICS Insurance Database - How It Works The vehicle identification numbers (VIN) that are electronically transmitted by the insurers to this Department's GEICS insurance database are cross-referenced with the vehicle identification numbers (VIN) on this Department's tag and title database. If a transmitted VIN matches a VIN on the tag and title database, a valid insurance coverage indicator is placed on the vehicle’s record. Law enforcement and County Tax Commissioner office personnel in this state have access to the tag and title database and can easily check the insurance status of any vehicle registered in Georgia. You may check on the insurance status of your vehicle from this Department's web site with your vehicle's identification number (VIN) and the title or control number. These numbers can be found on your vehicle's current Georgia registration certificate, a/k/a tag receipt. A fifteen- (15) digit control number beginning with "17" or "99" is shown in the field for the title number when no Georgia title has been issued for the vehicle in the registered owner's name. Click here to connect to the Vehicle Insurance Status Inquiry screen. When a valid insurance coverage indicator is not on your vehicle’s record on this Department's tag and title database and you do not have acceptable proof of coverage as shown under the heading "Acceptable Proof of Georgia Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance", you will be unable to: Register your vehicle and obtain a Georgia license plate (tag); Renew, transfer, or replace your existing Georgia license plate (tag); and, You will be subject to fines and/or vehicle impoundment if detected by law enforcement or if the vehicle is involved in an accident.

Your insurance policy information card must be carried in your vehicle at all times when the vehicle is driven, even now when insurance cards are no longer acceptable proof of insurance for all vehicles except: Vehicles registered in Georgia under the International Registration Plan (IRP); Self-insured vehicles; and, Vehicles insured under a fleet insurance policy. For acceptable proof of insurance for these vehicles as well as recently purchased or acquired vehicles, please see the information under the heading "Acceptable Proof of Georgia Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance". Why Are Insurance Information Cards Needed?

If you are involved in an accident, your valid insurance card can be used to easily exchange insurance information, i.e. Your Insurance company’s name, policy number, agent’s name and telephone number, etc. A valid self-insured insurance information card and a certificate of self-insurance issued by the Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner’s office (ICO) are acceptable proof of liability insurance coverage for a self-insured vehicle when both are issued in the registered owner’s name. A valid fleet insurance policy information card issued by an insurer, licensed in Georgia, is acceptable proof of insurance coverage for a commercial vehicle insured under a fleet insurance policy. Neither the vehicle identification number (VIN) nor the registrant's name are required on this card.

Click here to connect to our Insurance Status Inquiry screen. Your vehicle's identification number (VIN) and title or control number may be found on your vehicle's current Georgia registration certificate, a/k/a tag receipt.

The binder must be carried in the vehicle at all times while the vehicle is being driven until a valid insurance record is received by this Department electronically transmitted by the insurer. A binder is issued by an insurance agent when someone purchases "new" insurance. A binder used as proof of insurance is only valid for thirty- (30) days.

A self-insured insurance information card and a certificate of self-insurance issued by the Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner’s office (ICO) are acceptable proof of insurance for a self-insured vehicle. Both this card and the certificate of self-insurance must be issued in the registered owner's name and be carried in the vehicle at all times while the vehicle is being driven. A valid insurance policy information card issued by a insurer, licensed in Georgia, in the registered owner’s name reflecting the vehicle’s identification number (VIN) is acceptable proof of liability insurance coverage for a vehicle registered in this state under the International Registration Plan (IRP). This card must be carried in the vehicle at all times while the vehicle is being driven. If the vehicle is rented, the person renting the vehicle, not leasing, must carry the rental agreement in the vehicle while the rental vehicle is being driven.

http://prisonplanet.com/articles/february2008/021608_#$%&!tail_killer.htmThe following is my opinion of this article Mr. Forster. What have you to say? Coming from a family where mental illness has been a problem for generations I know there is a need for psychoactive drugs. That being stated, the mental health field in general is one that is poorly moderated, and unless one has an abundance of funds they are usually left at the mercy of public mental health clinics. Government mental hospitals are little different from backwoods county jails where "inmates" are treated like vermin and denied basic human rights. The criminally insane often wind up in prison with the general population when they need serious help. They rarely get it, even from a hospital. That being stated, I fully support everyone's second amendment right to bear arms. What right does anyone have (aside from private property owners,) to declare any place in America a "gun free zone?" Self defense is a right that is as self evident as the right to breathe. Every American citizen should make it a point to educate themselves about firearm safety, know how to use firearms, and keep them on their body or within easy reach at all times. The "people who shouldn't have guns" that anti gun legislators like Hillary Clinton commonly refer to are those who have displayed by their conduct that they cannot or will not handle them responsibly by committing murder, armed robbery, and other unprovoked acts of violence. I would add to that list rapists, and ALL sex offenders. Such people should be locked in maximum security prisons for life without the possibility of parole or put to death. Most should be put to death, particularly those who commit premeditated murder, forcible rape, or commit ANY sex crime against a child. I have had access to loaded guns since I was three years old, and knew they were not toys, and never bothered them as a child. I have also saved myself twice by being armed. Fortunately, I did not have to use the gun either time. Once my would-be attackers saw that I was armed and fully prepared to kill them if necessary they quickly lost interest in harming me. The solution to the problem is properly treating mental illness before it gets to the point where a person becomes violent and irrational, and making sure that healthy citizens are armed and capable of defending themselves and other innocent people. The government would like for you to believe that it is in everyone's best interest to ban firearms. This is absurd. If none of the citizenry is armed it would make it far too easy for the government to simply herd the people like sheep. That isn't liberty it is tyranny. Keep your guns, even if you have to fight to the death to do so. If they are trying to disarm the public you have nothing left to lose anyway. |

What is your opinion of this Mr. Forster?The “Protect America Act?” The greatest threat to America is its government!!! If you want to “protect America” at least 530 out of all 535 of you need to resign!!! On your way out the door trash the Budget for 2008 and subsidize Colt and Smith and Wesson!!! America SHOULD be able to protect itself!!! Remember that archaic concept of “well armed militias” mentioned in the second amendment? You know, it was in that long forgotten document known as the “Bill of Rights?” Never mind, everyone is too dumb, too stoned, or too apathetic to even know you have reauthorized such traitorous legislation. If they knew they would probably think it was marvelous. If one were to remind them that “the ONLY thing we have to fear is fear itself” they probably wouldn’t recognize the quote, much less understand it. They might recognize it as something Kevin Costner said in that movie where a President was assassinated. The fact that gutting the Bill of Rights is giving the “terrorists” exactly what they want, and that being afraid is a total surrender to terrorism would never occur to anyone. Sorry to have bothered you. If you are reading this and aren’t a member of Congress, or don’t work for the President go back to sleep. If you’re alert enough watch TV so you’ll learn what to think today. |

I checked out your blogspot. I realized you're the person that had the problem with the Chatanooga? police. You had a late night post on RNT a year or so back and it was gone the next day. I have friends that have had problems with the local police (a surrounding county). Family member with mental illness was arrested on minor charges and kept in jail for a long time without meds. Family had to provide money to the police for clean underwear; they won't even allow you to bring in stuff from home. I could go on and on. |

Neoconservatives such as Bush, Cheney, Isakson, and Deal, along with most who support them, accuse those of us who are opposed to this undeclared, unjust war of failing to support the troops. After reading this I think it is alarmingly obvious who has failed to support the troops.Why have WE THE PEOPLE failed to condemn those in Congress who continue to support this absurd war on phantom terrorists until they demanded an immediate end to it? Why have those who have not heeded the voice of the people not been recalled? Why are Bush and Cheney not on death row for treason and war crimes? Can you explain this Mr. Forster? I can, but my explanation is written off by the mainstream media as “conspiracy theory” or “insanity.” Perhaps you can shed light on the subject rather than repeating the spin, propaganda, and lies the media would have us believe. Taken from: http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003709846 AP Scoop: War Veterans Make Up Half of Suicides At Home Published: February 12, 2008 11:20 AM ET WASHINGTON National Guard and Reserve troops who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan make up more than half of veterans who committed suicide after returning home from those wars, according to new government data obtained by The Associated Press. A Department of Veterans Affairs analysis of ongoing research of deaths among veterans of both wars -- obtained exclusively by The AP -- found that Guard or Reserve members were 53 percent of the veteran suicides from 2001, when the war in Afghanistan began, through the end of 2005. The research, conducted by the agency's Office of Environmental Epidemiology, provides the first demographic look at suicides among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who left the military -- a situation that veterans and mental health advocates worry might worsen as the wars drag on. Upon learning of the VA's findings on Tuesday, the Veterans of Foreign Wars called for the Pentagon and the VA to combine their efforts to track suicides among those who have served in those countries in order to get a clearer picture of the problem. ''We're very concerned for the overall well-being of our military men and women as well as our veterans and want to know, is there a growing problem that needs to be addressed by both the (Defense Department) and the VA?'' said Joe Davis, the VFW's public affairs director. ''To fix a problem, you have to define it first.'' Military leaders have leaned heavily on Guard and Reserve troops in the wars. At certain times in 2005, members of the Guard and Reserve made up nearly half the troops fighting in Iraq. Overall, they were nearly 28 percent of all U.S. military forces deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan or in support of the operations, according to Defense Department data through the end of 2007. Many Guard members and Reservists have done multiple tours that kept them away from home for 18 months. When they returned home, some who live far away from a military installation or VA facility have encountered difficulty getting access to mental health counseling or treatment, activists have said. Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said the study's findings reinforce the argument that Guard and Reserve troops need more help as they transition back into the civilian world. The military's effort to re-screen Guard and Reservists for mental and physical problems three months after they return home is a positive step, Rieckhoff said, but a more long-term comprehensive approach is needed to help these troops -- particularly in their first six months home. ''National Guardsman and Reservists are literally in Baghdad in one week and in Brooklyn the next, and that transition is incredibly tough,'' Rieckhoff said. The VA has said there does not appear to be an epidemic of suicide among returning veterans, and that suicide among the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans is comparable to the same demographic group in the general population. However, an escalating suicide rate in the Army, as well as high-profile suicides such as the death of Joshua Omvig -- an Iowa Reservist who shot himself in front of his mother in December 2005 after an 11-month tour in Iraq -- have alarmed some members of Congress and mental health advocates. In November, President Bush signed the Joshua Omvig suicide prevention bill, which directed the VA to improve its mental health training for staff and do a better job of screening and treating veterans. According to the VA's research, 144 veterans committed suicide from the start of the war in Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001, through the end of 2005. Of those, 35 veterans, or 24 percent, served in the Reserves and 41, or 29 percent, had served in the National Guard. Sixty-eight -- or 47 percent -- had been in the regular military. Statistics from 2006 and 2007 were not yet available, the VA said, because the study was based in part on data from the National Death Index, which is still being compiled. Among the total population of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who have been discharged from the military, nearly half are formerly regular military and a little more than half were in the Guard and Reserves, according to the VA. Among those studied, more than half of the veterans who committed suicide were aged 20 to 29. Nearly three-quarters used a firearm to take their lives. Nearly 82 percent were white. About one in five was seen at least once at a VA facility. Last year, the VA started a suicide hot line. The VA and the military have also made other improvements in suicide prevention care, such as hiring more counselors and increasing mental health screening. ''The challenge is getting people to come to us before they commit suicide, knowing they can come and get help and knowing they have access to those resources,'' said Alison Aikele, a VA spokeswoman. The VA study does not include those who committed suicide in the war zones or those who remained in the military after returning home from war. Last year, the Army said its suicide rate in 2006 rose to 17.3 per 100,000 troops, the highest level in 26 years of record-keeping. The Army said recently that as many as 121 soldiers committed suicide last year. If all are confirmed, the number would be more than double the number reported in 2001. Some mental health advocates have complained that there is no comprehensive tracking in one place of suicide among those who served in the wars, whether they are still in the military or discharged. In October, the AP reported that preliminary research from the VA had found that from the start of the war in Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001, and the end of 2005, 283 troops who served in the wars who had been discharged from the military had committed suicide. The VA later said the number was reduced to 144 because some of the veterans counted were actually in the active military and not discharged when they committed suicide. |

What do you make of Justice Scalia's comments Mr. Forster?The Slippery Slope of Relativism in Constitutional Law: Taken From: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/12/scalia-torture/ Scalia Defends Torture: It’s ‘Absurd’ To Say The Gov’t Can’t ‘Smack’ A Suspect ‘In The Face’ Today in an interview with BBC Radio’s Law in Action, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia defended torture, claiming that it is not necessarily barred by the Constitution: Is it really so easy to determine that smacking someone in the face to find out where he has hidden the bomb that is about to blow up Los Angeles is prohibited under the Constitution? Because smacking someone in the face would violate the 8th amendment in a prison context. You can’t go around smacking people about. Is it obvious that what can’t be done for punishment can’t be done to exact information that is crucial to this society? It’s not at all an easy question, to tell you the truth. The BBC interviewer, however, objected to Scalia’s use of the so-called “ticking time bomb” scenario to justify government torture. “It’s a bizarre scenario,” he said. “Because the fact is, it’s very unlikely you’re going to have the one person who can give you that information. So if you use that as an excuse to commit torture, perhaps that’s a dangerous thing.” Scalia responded: Seems to me you have to say, as unlikely as that is, it would be absurd to say that you can’t stick something under the fingernails, smack them in the face. It would be absurd to say that. As the BBC interviewer pointed out, ticking time bomb scenarios — where a detainee has knowledge of an imminent attack — are incredibly rare, despite Scalia’s fascination with them. U.S. Air Force Reserve Colonel Steve Kleinman, a longtime military interrogator, testified to the House in November that torture would be “unnecessary” even in such scenarios. Furthermore, intelligence experts say that torture is “ineffective” because it “often produces false information.” Sharon at Human Rights First looks at Scalia’s arguments on torture’s constitutionality. UPDATE: Scalia is also a fan of Jack Bauer. Transcript: BBC: Tell me about the issue of torture, we know that cruel and unusual punishment is prohibited under the 8th amendment. Does that mean if the issue comes up in front of the court, it’s a ‘no-brainer?’ SCALIA: Well, a lot of people think it is, but I find that extraordinary to begin with. To begin with, the constitution refers to cruel and unusual punishment, it is referring to punishment on indefinitely — would certainly be cruel and unusual punishment for a crime. But a court can do that when a witness refuses to answer or commit them to jail until you will answer the question — without any time limit on it, as a means of coercing the witness to answer, as the witness should. And I suppose it’s the same thing about “so-called” torture. Is it really so easy to determine that smacking someone in the face to find out where he has hidden the bomb that is about to blow up Los Angeles is prohibited under the Constitution? Because smacking someone in the face would violate the 8th amendment in a prison context. You can’t go around smacking people about. Is it obvious that what can’t be done for punishment can’t be done to exact information that is crucial to this society? It’s not at all an easy question, to tell you the truth. BBC: It’s a question that’s been raised by Alan Derschowitz and other people — this idea of ticking bomb torture. It’s predicated on the basis that you got a plane with nuclear weapons flying toward the White House, you happen to have in your possession — hooray! — the person that has the key information to put everything right, and you stick a needle under his fingernail — you get the answer — and that should be allowed? SCALIA: And you think it shouldn’t? BBC: All I’m saying about it, is that it’s a bizarre scenario, because it’s very unlikely that you’re going to have the one person that can give you that information and so if you use that as an excuse to permit torture then perhaps that’s a dangerous thing. SCALIA: Seems to me you have to say, as unlikely as that is, it would be absurd to say that you can’t stick something under the fingernails, smack them in the face. It would be absurd to say that you couldn’t do that. And once you acknowledge that, we’re into a different game. How close does the threat have to be and how severe can an infliction of pain be? There are no easy answers involved, in either direction, but I certainly know you can’t come in smugly and with great self-satisfaction and say, “Oh, this is torture and therefore it’s no good.” You would not apply that in some real-life situations. It may not be a ticking bomb in Los Angeles, but it may be: “Where is this group that we know is plotting this painful action against the United States? Where are they? What are they currently planning?” Taken From: http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/02/scalia_torture_not_necessarily.asp “Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles . . . . He saved hundreds of thousands of lives,” Judge Scalia reportedly said. “Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?” He then posed a series of questions to his fellow judges: “Say that criminal law is against him? ‘You have the right to a jury trial?’ Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer?” “I don’t think so,” Scalia reportedly answered himself. “So the question is really whether we believe in these absolutes. And ought we believe in these absolutes.” First off, Justice Scalia's role as defined by the Constitution leaves no room for a Supreme Court Justice to "suppose" anything. This subject, like any other Constitutional issue that concerns the High Court, is not open for relative interpretation. It is as absolute as the law of gravity, a snow white and jet black issue. The eighth amendment strictly forbids cruel and unusual punishment. If Justice Scalia thinks inserting anything under any one's fingernail isn't cruel and unusual punishment I would hate to meet the Justice. If your paths should cross in a restaurant beware that you adhere strictly to proper etiquette. Failure to do so might result in a piece of stemware inserted in your anal cavity. So, Justice Scalia, you think it to be your place to make such a decision regarding Baeur? I thought WE THE PEOPLE held the sole right to strike down laws for being unjustly applied via the process of jury nullification. Oh, that’s right, forgive me. I forgot we aren’t supposed to talk about that anymore. Mark Lance Earhart |

Hmmm. I was reading about Mr. Forster's beliefs about supporting legislation with his"five-way test of reducing government, reducing taxes, giving us more personal freedom, more personal liberty, encouraging and empowering the family". Sounds like rhetoric to me. What is the difference between personal freedom and personal liberty? The definition of freedom is "the state of being in liberty." He needs to find a completely seperate 5th way. Would he support a gay's or lesbian's personal liberty to marry their significant other? Would that interfere with empowering the family? It would empower their own gay family, I imagine. It would also reduce government, but not affect taxes. I take it Mr. Forster probably endorses gay marriage. Stick to those 5 or 4 principle Mr. Forster. |

Principal Electrical Engineer for WTC: "Fuel and Planes Alone Did NOT Bring the Towers Down" 911 Blogger Tuesday February 12, 2008 Richard F. Humenn, PE was the Senior Project Design Engineer for electrical systems for the entire World Trade Center, and he had 60 people working under him. In other words, he was the guy in charge of all electrical at the WTC. A retired licensed professional engineer, he was certified by the States of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Washington, D.C. Humenn stated to Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth: On September 11, I watched the live TV broadcast of the progressive collapse of the World Trade Towers with disbelief, as the mass and strength of the structure should have survived the localized damage caused by the planes and burning jet fuel. I viewed the presentation of Richard Gage and other related material, which compels me to believe that the fuel and planes alone did not bring the Towers down. I, therefore, support the proposal to form an international group of professionals to investigate all plausible causes for the virtual freefall and the almost total destruction of the WTC structures. Humenn also recently gave a two-hour recorded interview to an attorney and former law school professor (a transcript of the interview will soon be posted to AE911Truth.org). In that interview, Humenn expressed his opinion that the Twin Towers were intentionally demolished. (He stated that he could not believe the U.S. government could have done such a thing; however, he was not asked about rogue elements within the government). Few engineers have as much first-hand knowledge of the Twin Towers as Humenn, so his opinion carries some weight. As he explains, "Though an electrical engineer by trade, I was also very familiar with the structures and their conceptual design parameters." I, Mark Lance Earhart, call upon the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate to launch an immediate special investigative team of Physycists, Engineers, and Controlled Demolition Experts to reinvestigate the events at the World Trade Center which occurred on 9/11/01. I further call upon said legislative bodies to appoint independent criminal investigations of President George W Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, now Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, then New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and all members of the 9/11 Commission. We The People want the truth!!! What do you think Rep. Forster? |

Why should we be afraid Mr. Forster?Chertoff Warns Of "Earth Shattering" Events DHS Head's guts giving him trouble once more Steve Watson Infowars.net Monday, Feb 11, 2008 Department of Homeland Security Head Michael Chertoff has repeated the same fearmongering warning he made last year - he is worried "earth shattering" terror events are likely to be carried out soon. Once again, Chertoff provides no specific details, he simply reminds Americans that they need to remain afraid of phantom terrorists: "If you're asking me what keeps me up at night or what I most worry about -- in the short term, obviously, you worry about homegrown terrorists or somebody coming in with an explosive device or the kind of act of violence or terror that we've actually seen occasionally carried out in this country by people who are simply nuts or like a Timothy McVeigh." Chertoff told WTOP news. "But in the longer run, in terms of something that would really be earth-shattering, the kinds of things I'm worried about are a nuclear or a dirty bomb attack or a nuclear or biological attack." Chertoff continued, citing the motive of toppling the already teetering US economy. The threat from "Al Qaeda" is not over, Chertoff is at pains to remind us, "Just look at what's happened in the last year." he adds, referring to the fact that two men, since proven to be totally unconnected to "Al Qaeda", set a jeep on fire and drove it towards Glasgow airport in Scotland last August. It was just last July that Chertoff cited a "gut feeling" when warning that Al Qaeda may attack the US, at the same time admitting there was not enough evidence of a pending attack to raise the nation's threat level. He then toured the country warning attendees to his speeches that his gut feelings included simultaneous Los Angeles / San Francisco dirty bomb attacks. Chertoff's hunches were much maligned by critics and spurred MSNBC's Keith Olbermann to lay out possible explanations for "Mr. Chertoff's remarkable revelations about his transcendently important, counter-terrorism stomach." In recent times Chertoff has expressed disdain for those who have described the "war on terror" as hype, even taking a swipe at the 9/11 truth movement. He is always keen to focus on his assertion that the internet is a breeding ground for terror and has publicly predicted that the next attack will be carried out by home grown web radicalized terrorists. "I also think that the preparations that we need to have in place to deal with this threat are going to take a while to build, and we're building them as we speak." Chertoff concludes in the interview. "But they're not going to be done in six weeks or even six months. So what is important is to stay focused on making the investments now that we will be very grateful for in several years if someone does get their hands on nuclear materials or a biological agent." In other words, be Afraid, and stay afraid America. I am not afraid Mr. Chertoff, not of "homegrown terrorists," "al Qaeda," or even the sorry likes of you. You, along with your fellow Zionist and Jesuit conspirators are the scum of the earth, but you don't scare me. You make me mad as Hell!!! You are a liar, and you work for the father of lies. You are not a "conservative," any more than your counterparts in the war on free speech such as Jane Harman and Nancy Pelosi. You are the one who is afraid, and rightly so, for many people are not listening to your propaganda anymore. You assault the internet because too many people learn too much of the truth. People laugh at your feeble lies. You are a disgrace to America, heading a big money bureaucratic agency that is the enemy of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You are a disgrace to humankind, and you will one day answer to your creator for your betrayal of those you have been appointed to protect. Do you know something we do not sir? Don’t bother answering that, as if you would dare stoop to do so. I am not liberal, conservative, or moderate, for such terms have become sickeningly laughable, representing nothing. In the best of times long since past it took a narrow minded, deliberately dumbed down mind to cling solely to one line of thought. I think for myself, that makes me dangerous doesn’t it Mr. Chertoff? It has been said (by Plato if memory serves me correctly,) that the educated man is to the uneducated as the living are to the dead. For more than a century in this nation your kind has struggled to keep the common people ("worthless eaters" to the Club of Rome, “goyim” to your whitewashed tomb Talmud polluted friends,) in the dark and unable to make an informed decision for themselves. Public schools and universities turn out brainwashed indoctrinated masses to serve your elitist agenda. The Internet is putting your plans in jeopardy isn't it? How does if feel to be afraid Mr. Chertoff? I hope you like the feeling because the road to perdition you walk will one day dead end in Hell, and the flames of your torment shall arise forever and ever. I would suggest that you change roads. |

Why do we allow this?http://alliancewithnone.blogspot.com/ Mexican Military Incursions into US That's right. The Mexican Army aids drug smugglers across the Southern border on a regular basis. Over 200 cases are documented, and they even shoot at our Border Patrol Agents. This government buried MSNBC expose tells all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk4QGHj1bqM Call your state legislators if you live in TX, AZ, NM, or CA, and definately call your US Congressional Representative and you US Senators. I would tell you to call or write the White House, but all you will get is a "On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence....." type response. You can literally write the President and tell him to jump off a cliff, go to Hell, etc., and you will get an auto-reply thanking you for your correspondence. If you write him you might as well tell him how much you enjoyed your trip to Mars last weekend, no one will ever know the difference.

Come on folks; they’re killing us!!! If we don’t act now the Treasonous War Criminals numbering in the hundreds if not thousands will never be brought to justice in this world. Of course the government says it's safe, but they wouldn't lie would they? They were so forthcoming about Agent Orange.
