GRNC Alert 04-26-09:

Support Castle Doctrine in Committee

SB 928, "The Castle Doctrine," is now in the Senate Judiciary II
Committee. The push is on to strengthen your rights. As most of you
are aware, GRNC has worked with Rep. Mark Hilton and Sen. Andrew Brock
over the last several sessions of the NC General Assembly to introduce
and pass the Castle Doctrine, which would afford citizens the right to
self defense wherever it should prove necessary.

Act now to see this valuable bill get a fair hearing.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

* Use our auto-email to send this message to the members of the
Senate Judiciary II Committee by going here:
http://grnc.org/alerts/autoemail.htm

Dear Senator:

I urge you to support SB 928, "The Castle Doctrine." The Castle
Doctrine is an important concept that has proven effective in the
protection of citizens in the number of states that have already
implemented it. It is vital that you throw your influence behind the
interests of the honest citizens of this state and allow them to
protect themselves from criminals.

I trust that you wish to protect the lives and interests of the law
abiding voters of North Carolina rather than enable the criminal
element. Support SB 928. I will be following your actions on this bill
through Grass Roots North Carolina.

Sincerely,

A Concerned North Carolina Voter

Worth Repeating...

...the Statement of Principles guiding Ron Paul's Campaign For Liberty...

Americans inherit from our ancestors a glorious tradition of freedom and resistance to oppression. Our country has long been admired by the rest of the world for her great example of liberty and prosperity—a light shining in the darkness of tyranny.

But many Americans today are frustrated. The political choices they are offered give them no real choice at all. For all their talk of "change," neither major political party as presently constituted challenges the status quo in any serious way. Neither treats the Constitution with anything but contempt. Neither offers any kind of change in monetary policy. Neither wants to make the reductions in government that our crushing debt burden demands. Neither talks about bringing American troops home not just from Iraq but from around the world. Our country is going bankrupt, and none of these sensible proposals are even on the table.

This destructive bipartisan consensus has suffocated American political life for many years. Anyone who tries to ask fundamental questions instead of cosmetic ones is ridiculed or ignored.

That is why the Campaign for Liberty was established: to highlight the neglected but common-sense principles we champion and reinsert them into the American political conversation.

The U.S. Constitution is at the heart of what the Campaign for Liberty stands for, since the very least we can demand of our government is fidelity to its own governing document. Claims that our Constitution was meant to be a "living document" that judges may interpret as they please are fraudulent, incompatible with republican government, and without foundation in the constitutional text or the thinking of the Framers. Thomas Jefferson spoke of binding our rulers down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution, and we are proud to follow in his distinguished lineage.

With our Founding Fathers, we also believe in a non-interventionist foreign policy. Inspired by the old Robert Taft wing of the Republican Party, we are convinced that the American people cannot remain free and prosperous with 700 military bases around the world, troops in 130 countries, and a steady diet of war propaganda. Our military overstretch is undermining our national defense and bankrupting our country.

We believe that the free market, reviled by people who do not understand it, is the most just and humane economic system and the greatest engine of prosperity the world has ever known.

We believe with Ludwig von Mises, Henry Hazlitt, and F.A. Hayek that central banking distorts economic decision making and misleads entrepreneurs into making unsound investments. Hayek won the Nobel Prize for showing how central banks' interference with interest rates sets the stage for economic downturns. And the central bank's ability to create money out of thin air transfers wealth from the most vulnerable to those with political pull, since it is the latter who receive the new money before the price increases it brings in its wake have yet occurred. For economic and moral reasons, therefore, we join the great twentieth-century economists in opposing the Federal Reserve System, which has reduced the value of the dollar by 95 percent since it began in 1913.

We oppose the dehumanizing assumption that all issues that divide us must be settled at the federal level and forced on every American community, whether by activist judges, a power-hungry executive, or a meddling Congress. We believe in the humane alternative of local self-government, as called for in our Constitution.

We oppose the transfer of American sovereignty to supranational organizations in which the American people possess no elected representatives. Such compromises of our country's independence run counter to the principles of the American Revolution, which was fought on behalf of self-government and local control. Most of these organizations have a terrible track record even on their own terms: how much poverty have the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund actually alleviated, for example? The peoples of the world can interact with each other just fine in the absence of bureaucratic intermediaries that undermine their sovereignty.

We believe that freedom is an indivisible whole, and that it includes not only economic liberty but civil liberties and privacy rights as well, all of which are historic rights that our civilization has cherished from time immemorial.

Our stances on other issues can be deduced from these general principles.

Our country is ailing. That is the bad news. The good news is that the remedy is so simple and attractive: a return to the principles our Founders taught us. Respect for the Constitution, the rule of law, individual liberty, sound money, and a non-interventionist foreign policy constitute the foundation of the Campaign for Liberty.

3.  LPNC Reaction to Perdue’s State of the State Address
================================================

(contributed by Brian Irving)

Governor Bev Perdue's first address to the General Assembly contained
no surprises, as predicted, but North Carolina Libertarians were
pleased to hear some familiar themes in the speech.

"We applaud Governor Perdue's tough statement that she will reduce and
cut state programs," said Barbara Howe, state party chair. "We're glad
she finally is on board with what Libertarians have been saying all
along and anxiously await to see if she has muscle behind her decision
to cut the fat."

Libertarians were slightly disappointed that the only specific action
Governor Perdue promised was to drive a truck to South Carolina to
pick up Federal recovery funds.

"The governor is an educated woman, so I'm sure she realizes there's
no 'pot at the end of the rainbow.' Those funds are taxpayer funds
from her fellow North Carolinians and all Americans."

But Libertarians were heartened to hear the governor say that "cutting
the fat" didn't go far enough and that the budget she'll present next
week will reduce and cut state government programs and services the
state simply cannot afford. "We can't wait to see that budget," Howe
said.

Governor Perdue's call to "stand up to the sweet seductions of special
interests, the temptations of politically popular pork barrel
spending, and end the practice of back room dealing" also echoed
Libertarian values.

The governor said that education is the engine that drives the
economy, is essential for economic recovery and would not be
sacrificed. "We hope that means she'll be open to genuine 'out of the
box thinking' to improve our educational system," Howe said.

For example, the governor said no parent has a free pass from the
responsibility to be fully involved in their child's education.
"Libertarians would add that this means parents should have authority
to school their children as they see fit — for example at home or in
charter or private schools," Howe said.

4. 2010 Census: Snooping In Your Neighborhood
================================================

(reprinted from Old Dominion Liberty Letter, Issue #7, courtesy of Marc Montoni)

During previous Census years, Libertarian Party activists and others
championed a 'Constitutional response' to nosy Census questions: As
the Constitution specifies, tell the Census how many people live at
your address. And that's it!

While our government ramps up its Census-taking bureaucracy for the
decennial Census, it will be fighting low compliance, anger at the
intrusiveness of its questions, and other hurdles.  Libertarians have
a solution that will eliminate most of the heartache for everyone
involved, bureaucrats and citizens alike: Get rid of the long form,
get rid of the short form, and eliminate the extra-intrusive American
Community Survey (ACS) -- and replace them all with a "Census
Postcard".

Libertarians have just one question for the Census Bureau. Since the
U.S. Constitution requires just a count of the population, why doesn't
the Census ask just one question: How many people live in your home?
Such a Census-on-a-postcard would save time, address Americans'
concerns about privacy, save taxpayers billions of dollars, and cause
the compliance rate to soar. All the Census has to do is follow the
old motto: Keep it simple, stupid.

5.  Fellow Travelers: StopNCAnnexation
================================================

[“Fellow Travelers” is a regular feature spotlighting groups in North
Carolina and beyond who help further the libertarian cause in one or
more directions. If you have a group you’d like to share with fellow
Libertarians for this feature, please send it to Susan at
Susan.Hogarth@lpnc.org]

Stop NC Annexation

http://www.stopncannexation.com/

StopNCAnnexation is organized to help victims of forced annexation
learn about the annexation process and connect with others across
North Carolina who are also fighting forced annexation. The goal is to
inform each group about the others, about what the laws say about
forced annexation, how to fight it, and how to work together to lobby
our State lawmakers to change this law. It was also created to be an
internet resource of information regarding what others have done in
their fight against annexation; their court challenges, fundraising,
and experiences with the annexing municipalities.

Starting in 2004, StopNCAnnexation has held a yearly 'Rally in
Raleigh' event to bring information and the voice of the citizens to
the legislators on the same day that the cities are lobbying to
preserve forced annexation laws at the NC League of Municipalities
'Town Hall Day' event. These have grown in impact and success with
each year. LPNC activists attend this rally - watch this newsletter
for upcoming information on this year's rally!

================================================
6.  Libertarian Voter Registration Update: 4,500+!
================================================

http://lpnc.org/libs_by_county.php

Wake County is in the lead with over 600 registered Libertarians!
(Take THAT, Mecklenburg!!)

New Hanover County has the highest percentage of registered
Libertarians, at nearly 0.15%

================================================
7.  Elevator Pitch: Gun Control
================================================

[An ‘elevator pitch’ is an overview of an idea for a product, service,
or project. The name reflects the fact that an elevator pitch can be
delivered in the time span of an elevator ride - for example, thirty
seconds and 100-150 words. This week’s ‘pitch’ is really a collection
‘escalator pitches’ – one-liners which can be tossed into a
conversation to spark thought or interest.]

"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do
not." ~ Thomas Jefferson

An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.

64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

Guns only have two enemies: rust and politicians.

911: government-sponsored Dial-a-prayer.

Assault is a behavior, not a device.

Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer and easier.

If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to disarm them.

When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

Punishing Charity...

[Thanks to the Rational Review for the link]

"The federal government budget proposed by the president imposes
higher taxes on incomes above $250,000. One of the provisions is that
charitable donations would no longer be tax deductible. ... Without a
tax deduction, charitable donations get tax punished. When the
beneficiaries of donations are the poor and other good causes, these
suffer from fewer gifts. A tax on charitable donations hurts the
homeless, the hungry, the wildlife that does not get preserved, the
ignorant who do not get educated, and all humanity which loses
knowledge and more of its natural legacy. When government taxes the
rich like this, it taxes the poor."
Fred E. Foldvary

http://www.freeliberal.com/archives/003735.html

It's The Fed, Stupid...

"After nearly one hundred years since President Wilson signed the bill enacting the Federal Reserve, we know the following: a hypothesis has been offered, the experiment has been conducted and the results are in: a fractional reserve banking sector and paper money system create the boom-bust cycle. Moreover, government intervention-spending, taxation, borrowing and unnecessary regulations-prevents the people from achieving their peaceful and most highly valued goals. In short, the current state of affairs is because statism, the exact opposite of laissez faire economics, is the overriding policy of the federal government "
Murray Sabrin

http://www.politickernj.com/murraysabrin/27549/meltdown-its-federal-reserve-stupid

Over The Falls...

"Fractional-reserve banking has been a con job from the beginning. Rothbard and Mises pointed this out, and they were hated for it. The economists trust bureaucracy. They trust people with Ph.D.'s just like themselves. But, except at the Federal Reserve, the agencies are run by lawyers and by appointees who hope to get a fat lobbying salary when they leave the government. Why should we think that a bunch of Harvard- and Yale-educated lawyers, who were recruited by New York City banks that were always protected by the Federal Reserve System, would have any idea of how to run an economy? We now know how well they could run the economy: they stripped off million-dollar bonuses for running the system over the falls."

Freedom From Government...

From Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk Column...

President Obama signed an executive order last week continuing the faith-based initiatives program created by former President Bush. When the program was created, I warned that giving taxpayer money to private religious organizations would eventually lead to political control and manipulation of them. This week has provided some evidence that this was a justified concern.

The logic behind funding faith-based initiatives seemed reasonable to some. Private organizations are much more effective in charitable endeavors than government programs and bureaucracies. Therefore, why not “outsource” some of the government’s welfare-state activities to these worthy organizations? This appealed to many conservatives, especially after the follow-up executive order exempting recipients from discriminatory hiring laws, which assured many that taking federal funds would not jeopardize their control over their own operations. But beware the government program started under an administration you like, for it may look a lot different under the one you don’t. Exemptions that Bush gave, Obama can take away.

But now, dependencies on federal money have been set, operations have been expanded accordingly, and many charities are waiting breathlessly for the administration to tell them what new conditions they will have to meet. With the stroke of a pen, religious charities might not be able to take into consideration a job applicant’s faith, sexual orientation or lifestyle if they wish to remain eligible for that taxpayer money that was so enticing a few years ago. Similarly, if FOCA (Freedom of Choice Act) is passed, will Catholic Church hospitals be forced to offer abortion services to retain their federal funding? Can they remain solvent without it?

This is the major problem with basing a private business model on the receipt of government funds. This money does not come without control, or the future possibility of control. We are seeing parallel control grabs in industries that have recently been the recipients of taxpayer largess. Government officials are now discussing executive compensation on Wall Street, banking, and in the auto industry. How much is too much to pay someone? When is a bonus deserved? But because politicians have bought their way into these industries, these are now political decisions. It is easy to utilize class envy to whip up public support for these interventions, but government always slides down the slippery slope. Politicians are also discussing other aspects of these businesses in which they are not expert, such as, what should lending standards be? What sort of cars should we direct the auto industry to make? Once government money infiltrates a balance sheet, “taxpayers” meaning “politicians” have a say in how you operate.

Money is the Trojan horse that government uses to infiltrate and infect organizations. Funding that, on the outset, is designed to strengthen and support, will bureaucratize and regulate in the end. It is sad to see charities now having reason to focus on lobbying, regulatory compliance and paper pushing to get and retain money taken by force, rather than beefing up private, voluntary fundraising activities. Those tempted to join Washington’s ongoing bailout bonanza should instead take the famed advice of former First Lady Nancy Reagan on the acceptance of harmful and addictive substances and “Just Say No” to government money. This is the best protection from government control.

The Liberty Agenda...

Press release from the Libertarian Party of N.C.:

We, Libertarian Party of North Carolina propose present this agenda for action to the 2009 General Assembly.

1. End forced annexation and stop private property seizure under the power of eminent domain by amending the state constitution.

Forced annexation and the seizure of private property ostensibly for “public purpose” is a violation of the fundamental rights of Americans. Forced annexation is not about providing services, or controlling growth. Forced annexation is about money. Communities should only be annexed with the consent of those annexed. No government, at any level, should have the power to take or seize private property for any purpose, without the express consent of the owner, and without just compensation.

2. Improve public education through school choice and competition.

It has become fashionable to bash public education rather than sincerely seek ways to improve it. There are many good things happening in North Carolina education. The path to continued improvement is to foster choice.

The problem is that anyone who proposes thinking out of the box when it comes to education is beat over the head with the supposed public school mandate in the state constitution.

This selective devotion to constitutional principle is curious, since the legislature freely ignores other parts of the constitution, including the requirement that “all elections shall be free, fair, and open” by restricting the right of people to vote for anyone other than Democrats and Republicans.

3. Restore free, fair and open elections to North Carolina by removing barriers to ballot access.

North Carolina has one of the most restrictive ballot access laws in the nation. These barriers are specifically designed by the Democratic-Republican duopoly to restrict the people’s freedom of choice, and to prevent independent and third party candidates from getting on the ballot. Elections laws also are used to restrict free speech by limiting how much an individual can contribute to the candidate of their choice. The people should have the unregulated and unrestricted right to vote for and support candidates of their choice.

4. End all corporate welfare and subsidies.

Economic incentives and subsidies, more properly called corporate welfare, are an immoral tax on individuals for the benefit of corporate profits. Recent news reports that the Dell computer company may sell their three year old Winston-Salem plant, built with nearly $300 million in corporate welfare, demonstrate that corporate incentives are ineffective as well as immoral.

Conclusion

Ending property theft by government, improving education, ending corporate welfare, and restoring fair elections are only our top four issues, the beginning. The ultimate goal of the Libertarian Party of North Carolina is to reduce the size, scope, and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and consistently oppose any increase in the size, scope, and power of government at any level, for any purpose.

Ammo Under Assault...

From Eric Nordsrom..........................


Ammunition Accountability Legislation

Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns?
Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no
problem with taking your ammo!

The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and
Indiana ) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture
a data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know how much you
buy and what calibers.

http://ammunitionaccountability.org/Legislation.htm

Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the
ammunition is coded.

Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1,
2011. (Including hand loaded ammo.) They will also charge a .05
cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at
least $2.50 or more!

If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!

All eyes are diverted on talk radio topics, bailouts, television
entertainments/news/

propaganda, while state level legislatures are
placing the second amendment into a grave.

This legislation is currently IN COMMITTEE in 18 states: Alabama,
Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Washington.

Send to every person in these united states!

legislation and the specific legislation for each state, go to:
