Florida Legislature Ends Session on Friday
Posted by NCF912Project
The Florida Legislature will end its 2013 Session on Friday, May 3rd. There are still a few issues that may need our attention:
HB 1355 passed today and is on the Governor’s desk. Please take a few minutes and read the information: http://www.libertyfederation.com/blog/urge-fl-governor-scott-veto-anti-gun-bill and then make a phone call if you think it is needed!
HB 87 and SB 1666. Mortgage Foreclosures STOP WORKING FOR THE BANKERS AND WORK FOR THE PEOPLE OF FL. This is a very bad bill. It will strip homeowners from their constitutional due process rights and let lenders foreclose without having to prove they are the holders of the note and mortgage. Many lenders are under investigation for fraudulent paperwork, and with this bill, if after the foreclosure and proof comes out they were fraudulent, the homeowner cannot get their home back. Homeowners could still be sued from the actual holders of the note and mortgage later, this bill will create huge chaos in the real estate market as well. Go to www.flsenate.gov and www.myfloridahouse.gov to track these bills.

Boy Scouts Propose Unworkable Homosexual Policy
Posted by NCF912Project
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) are considering caving in to the LGBT activist pressure and potentially exposing the troops to openly practicing homosexuals.
Proposing a badly misguided “compromise,” Scouting executives would allow openly practicing homosexuals into the ranks of the BSA – just not as leaders. Homosexuals over the age of 18 would be prohibited from participation under the new proposal.
The Boy Scouts of America’s (BSA) executive leadership and its Board of Directors are under extreme pressure from LGBT activists, equivocating board members, and pro-homosexual organizations threatening withdrawal of their funding.
Radicals appear willing to do whatever is necessary to force the Scouts to change their decades-old policy of banning openly practicing homosexuals from participating in the Scouting program.

“Florida House and Senate budget leaders have awarded Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw $1 million for a new violence prevention unit aimed at preventing tragedies like those in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., from occurring on his turf.
Bradshaw plans to use the extra $1 million to launch “prevention intervention” units featuring specially trained deputies, mental health professionals and caseworkers. The teams will respond to citizen phone calls to a 24-hour hotline with a knock on the door and a referral to services, if needed.

The Ten Real Purposes of Obamacare
Posted by NCF912Project
by: John Knapp
Date: April 28, 2013
House Speaker John Boehner has had more than two years to defund Obamacare, and he hasn’t raised a little finger toward doing that. And he won’t. The purpose of Obamacare is not, and never was, more efficient and affordable medical care. Here are the ten purposes of Obamacare, in descending order of importance:
- To achieve more power over the people, toward eventual total control. When you have to go to the government for your health care, the government has you by the short hairs, and your freedom has gone away.
- To further grow the federal government, by making more people dependent upon it, in order to create more democrats, in order to subjugate the 50 individual states to total federal authority, mooting forever the Constitutional relief valves that are the 9th and 10th Amendments.
- To cut down on government medical disbursements for older Americans (death panels), thereby improving government balance sheets.
- To reduce Social Security payouts, by reducing life expectancies via death panels, thereby improving government balance sheets further.
- To try to get disheveled government books re-organized, so the public never knows the shambles this government’s books are in; and, hopefully, to improve government balance sheets even further.
- To punish the medical profession for ‘making too much money’, and to curtail medical professionals’ incomes, in order to punish that particular segment of the hated ‘rich’.
- To run all health insurance companies out of business, in order to punish them for making too much money.
- To further hinder small businesses with oppressive regulations.
- For purposes of ’social justice’, only not to redistribute the wealth, but to redistribute misery.
- For Obama to make his indelible mark on American history, on the ‘unfairness’ that has always been America.
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House when Obamacare was passed, said just before its passage, “We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it!” That unbelievable remark alone is enough to make Obamacare unconstitutional! The elected occupants of the People’s House of the American representative republic, being made to cast a hurried-up vote on a 2,700 page bill that the House Speaker herself did not understand, nor would she give her fellow legislators adequate time to study and deliberate? It boggles a free mind.
Obamacare was not legislation. It was legislated corruption, meant to come to the rescue of existing corruption. Obamacare is textbook taxation without representation, and therefore thoroughly unconstitutional, in spite of the Supreme Court’s subsequent contorted affirmation. Unconstitutional law is not law, according to Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who have also opined that citizens are under no obligation to comply with unconstitutional ‘law’.
The good news is that Obamacare is so massive, so oppressive, and so riddled with exceptions and special carve-outs for this group or that group, it will eventually collapse under its own weight. Obamacare is the ultimate regulatory and legal nightmare. It was designed to be the politically-perfect, ever-morphing bureaucratic monster, created by elite, We-Say-So Government. It is far too ambitious and unwieldy, and too prone to institutionalized corruption, as to ever be implementable, long term, whether the current populace means to live free, or not.
However, the bad news in that bit of good news is this: before Obamacare collapses, it will cripple the practice of medicine in this country, doing its damage in ways we cannot now fully know. What was the best medical care in the world will be harmed, perhaps irreparably, before the majority figures out what foolishness this lying, tyrannical government has contrived for itself, on our behalf, and completely at our expense.

Have You Heard About the Fusion Centers?
Posted by NCF912Project
“Fusion centers continued to support and provide for the National Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative, including the successful rollout of the statewide “If you See Something, Say Something”™ campaign, which provides an outreach and reporting mechanism for the public and visitors to the state regarding suspicious activities via a toll free hotline (1-855-FLA-SAFE) and webpage. On September 1, 2011, Governor Rick Scott, FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey, and DHS Security Assistant Secretary of Intergovernmental Affairs Betsy Markey officially launched the campaign in Florida. Tips received through the hotline and online reporting form will go to the 24-hour watch desk at the Florida Fusion Center for analysis, and, if needed, action in conjunction with the state’s RDSTFs. The campaign includes television, radio, and print public awareness announcements throughout Florida. “–

Washington DC Intervention

On Tuesday, April 16, Tea Party Patriots is urging all of our members to join activists across the nation protesting the back-room deals that are voted on before anyone can read them. Here are some basic details of the grassroots protests to be aware of.
We urge you to join your fellow patriots as they stand for the Constitution and the American people because when the Senate doesn’t read bills they pass, it doesn’t matter how good or bad the legislation is – our elected officials have failed to do their job. For more information about this, go to:

Federal Legislation – Things to Do!
Posted by NCF912Project
Most of us have Ted Yoho as our U.S. Representative. He has been very receptive to listening to his constituents and he needs to hear from us. Go to: https://iqconnect.lmhostediq.com/iqextranet/view_newsletter.aspx?id=100175&c=FL03TY and read his most recent newsletter. It gives the locations of his upcoming Town Hall meetings. Sign up to receive this newsletter so that you can stay in touch with him.
Ask Representative Yoho to Support H.R. 75 to Get US out! of the UN! This year Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) reintroduced the bill that Ron Paul had introduced many times under the number H.R. 1146. This time its number is H.R. 75. Help keep America independent. Contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor H.R. 75. Ask your senators to introduce a companion bill in the Senate.
Ask him to Oppose the TPP and TTIP Trade Pacts President Obama is hoping to conclude negotiations by the end of 2013 on a new trade deal with 10 other Pacific Rim countries known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). He has also launched negotiations on a trade pact with the EU known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Contact your senators and representative in opposition to these free trade deals on the basis that political integration follows economic integration. We have witnessed how the economic integration brought about by the European free trade agreement between sovereign European nations has led to the political integration of these same once sovereign nations into the European Union. We need to keep America independent by rejecting the TPP and TTIP. See also “Moving Toward World Government Via Free Trade Plans”
Ask him to Support Audit the Fed Act of 2013 Back in 2012 one of Ron Paul’s signature bills, “Audit the Fed,” passed overwhelmingly in the House by a vote of 327-98, but was never brought to a vote in the Senate. Since Ron Paul has retired from Congress, Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) has reintroduced Paul’s Audit the Fed bill as H.R. 33, Audit the Fed Act of 2013. Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) cosponsored the bill. Last year’s partial audit of the Fed by the GAO revealed many disturbing loan activities of the Fed involving trillions of dollars that would surely justify the full audit that would be authorized by H.R. 33. Contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor H.R. 33. Ask your senators to introduce a companion bill in the Senate.
