November’s Ballot Question #1 is a Fraud!

Bob Kealy has been a good friend of the movement and a strong supporter of Steve Lonegan and Americans for Prosperity.   However, his letter that was today published in the Press of Atlantic City shows that even he was fooled by Ballot Question #1.   In his letter titled “Question #1 is a boon to taxpayers”, he should have recognized that something wasn’t right when he observed “we need a new amendment to the constitution to tell us to follow the constitution”.  Why would the same politicians who defied our constitution to borrow $37 billion without a vote of the people want to amend the constitution, so they couldn’t do it any more?

The answer is simple.  Ballot Question #1 is a fraud.   The Wall Street Boys are nervous because although the state used loopholes to borrow $37 billion without a vote of the people in violation of our State Constitution, none of that debt is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of NJ taxpayers.   That debt can be cancelled or repudiated at any time.   The purpose of Ballot Question #1 is to allow these same politicians to back the $37 billion already borrowed by “empty shell” entities like the Economic Development Authority with the full faith and credit of the state.  This means that if state sales and income taxes are not enough to pay that debt, the State must impose a new statewide property tax to pay it.

Below is an article I published in the Current and Gazette Newspapers of Atlantic and Cape May Counties with explains this fraud in detail.  Please read it carefully.    I urge each of you to write a brief letter to the Press of Atlantic City and all other daily newspapers that you know of, to explain this fraud before election day.  I also urge you to call all local radio talk shows that you know of to give this message before election day.  If you have any questions, please contact me, Seth Grossman, at grossman@snip.net.    Thanks.

STATE BALLOT QUESTION #1 IS A FRAUD!!!   IF YOU DON’T WANT $37 BILLION MORE IN DEBT, AND A NEW, MANDATORY STATE PROPERTY TAX, VOTE NO!!!

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter”. Isaiah  (Chapter 5, Verse 20)

      The Old Testament prophet Isaiah preached these words in Jerusalem 2,600 years ago.    But they describe State Senators Leonard Lance (Republican) and Raymond Lesniak (Democrat) and the others who cooked up State Ballot Question #1 for this November’s election.   These politicians claim a “Yes” vote for their proposed “bipartisan” Constitutional Amendment would stop independent authorities like the EDA (Economic Development Authority) from borrowing billions of dollars without voter approval.   But the opposite is true.
      Earlier this year, Governor Corzine tried to hock our toll roads to pay off $40 billion in state debt.    But Corzine never said the state was legally on the hook for only $3 billion.  The other $37 billion was created by independent authorities without voter approval.    As a result,  the state legislature does not legally have to pay roughly $3 billion each year on that debt, and can stop payment at any time.    Every bond sold by these authorities clearly stated that this was speculative junk debt, and not guaranteed by New Jersey taxpayers.
      We don’t need any Constitutional Amendment to stop state authorities from borrowing money without voter approval again.    Wall Street finally learned its lesson, and will never loan a dime to any of these authorities again– unless the debt is backed by the full faith and credit of the State. Under our present Constitution, only the voters can provide that security.
      But a “yes” vote on Ballot Question #1  would change  all that.  It would change the Constitution and allow state politicians to pledge the full faith and credit of the state without voter approval for the first time since 1844.   You won’t know that if you just read the Ballot Question, and Interpretive Statement.    These ugly details are buried in Senate Concurrent Resolution #39 which created them. Senate Concurrent Resolution #39 states that voter approval will not be needed to guarantee the bonds of any “autonomous public corporate entity” if there is “an independent non-State source of revenue paid by third persons” or “a source of revenue otherwise required to be appropriated pursuant to another provision of this Constitution”.    This means billions could be borrowed without voter approval to build stadiums.  Any political accountant can project that ticket sales will pay back the loan-even if he has to assume that every game will be sold out at $100 per ticket for the next 30 years.   It means billions could be borrowed without voter approval to build dozens of $150 million high schools, complete with state-of-the-art theaters, stadiums, and day-care centers. Any political “educator” can certify that they are needed to provide a “thorough and efficient education” as required by our State Constitution-or qualify under the “Property Tax Relief Fund”.   But the most dangerous provision of Ballot Question #1 is this:

     “No voter approval shall be required for any such law. . . authorizing the creation of a debt or debts. . . for the refinancing of all or a portion of any outstanding debts or liabilities of. . . an autonomous public corporate entity,”

A “Yes” vote  on Ballot Question #1 means Governor Corzine and the State Legislature could pass a simple law to refinance every dollar of the $37 billion borrowed by state authorities without voter approval.    If they do that, the state will give up its legal right to reject to refuse to spend taxpayer dollars on such “unconstitutional” debt.    Once the full faith and credit of New Jersey is pledged, all state sales tax money earmarked to pay that debt before it is spent on anything else. When its full faith and credit is pledged, the  State is legally obligated to impose a new statewide property tax to pay its debts, whenever sales tax revenues are not sufficient.   If you don’t believe me,  look at the fine print of last year’s Open Space bond legislation. Ballot Question #1 is a fraud, a lie, and a Trojan Horse.  The $700 billionbailout showed how politicians ignore the voters to enrich their Wall Street backers.  A “Yes” Vote on Ballot Question #1 will not only bail out the Wall Street firms who marketed $37 billion junk debt for NJ authorities.   It will also guarantee that this insane borrowing, and the waste and corruption that goes with it,  continues.

Wall Street/Foreign Bank Bailout Tops Trillion Dollars

“I am myself persuaded, on the basis of extensive study of the historical evidence, that… the severity of each of the contractions – 1920-21, 1929-33, and 1937-38 – is directly attributable to acts of commission and omission by the Reserve authorities and would not have occurred under earlier monetary and banking arrangements.”

– Milton Friedman (1912-2006)
Nobel Prize-winning economist, economic advisor to President Ronald Reagan, “ultimate guru of the free-market system”

   And there are more bailouts and nationalization of economic institutions to come.   Our speed is accelerating on the path toward serfdom through socialism.   Get a handle on what has already transpired in the economic bailout.   That knowledge will assist us in understanding our current political course and fighting to again let freedom see the light of day in our economy.

   In the past six months, a Republican President, and a Democrat controlled Congress trashed the Constitution, and borrowed more than a trillion dollars (a thousand million dollars) to bail out selected Wall Street firms and foreign banks. It started with $29 billion for Bear Stearns, $200 billion for Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac, and $82 billion for AIG Insurance. During the first week of October, Congress borrowed more than $700 billion more to give one man (Ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs and Secretary of Treasury) the absolute power to buy any “troubled asset” from any company in the world as he sees fit. The Constitution does not permit this–and with good reason. The founders of our country knew how wasteful and corrupt the federal government would be if it had such power. Who would buy junk at a garage sale for the original purchase price? How do we “rescue” our economy by putting our government a trillion dollars deeper in debt so we can pay billions to Chinese and Saudi Arabian banks?

Dick Zimmer  is the Senatorial Candidate for New Jersey.  He will be the guest this coming  Wednesday on my radio show, “ Let’s Get Real With Reuben Torres ,” and will discuss Congress’s   low approval rating.

Dick Zimmer began his legal career as an associate at the nationally known firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore. He then became a general attorney for Johnson & Johnson at its corporate headquarters in New Jersey and served as a member of the board of directors for a number of Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries.

 

Zimmer was a member of the New Jersey State legislature for nine years. As chairman of the State Government Committee, he was an effective advocate of open government and Initiative and Referendum. As a member of the Senate Revenue, Finance and Appropriations Committee, he vigorously opposed higher taxes and spending. He was the prime Assembly sponsor of New Jersey ’s original farmland preservation law and the prime sponsor of legislation creating the state’s radon detection and remediation program, considered a model for the nation.

 

In 1990, Dick Zimmer was elected to the United States House of Representatives, where he served three terms, representing New Jersey ’s 12th Congressional District.

Aaron Russo’s “America: Freedom to Fascism”

   Here is a trailer to Aaron Russo’s ground breaking documentary.   America is growing more and more beyond the scope and authorization of the Constitution.  We become more like our enemies and less like ourselves, as time goes continues.

 

Watch the entire film here:

 

The following is from Liberty Tree.

These statements were made during hearings of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, September 30, 1941. Members of the Federal Reserve Board call themselves “Governors.” Governor Marriner Eccles was Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board at the time of these hearings:

Congressman Patman: “How did you get the money to buy those two billion dollars worth of Government securities in 1933?”
Governor Eccles: “Out of the right to issue credit money.”
Patman: “And there is nothing behind it, is there, except our Government’s credit?”
Eccles: “That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn’t be any money.”
Congressman Fletcher: “Chairman Eccles, when do you think there is a possibility of returning to a free and open market, instead of this pegged and artificially controlled financial market we now have?”
Governor Eccles: “Never, not in your lifetime or mine.”

(1890-1977) US banker, economist, and Chairman of the Federal Reserve (1934-48)

Bill O’Reilly One-on-One with Barney Frank

   Bill O’Reilly said the things that many Americans want to tell Congressman Barney Frank, but are unable.  Here is a highlight of the interview.

There are many Congressmen, government regulators, and Wall Street executives who were dishonest, unethical, and committed fraud.   They should all be investigated and brought to justice, includng Congressman Frank.

New Jersey’s Acorn is Citizen Action

   During one of the several Congressional bailouts in the last year, where government nationalized significant portions of the economy, the Democrat-controlled United States Congress inserted a mechanism to give money to ACORN.   ACORN is undergoing an FBI probe.  

(Photo credit – http://a.abcnews.com/images/Politics/acorn_fbi_081016_mn.jpg)

Barack Hussein Obama is associated with ACORN.   An FBI probe is not the only problem that ACORN is having.

   New Jersey has its own ACORN, according to New Jersey Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose, R-Sussex.   Lisa G. Ryan blogs:

Is the proposed New Jersey Homeownership Preservation Act really about helping people facing foreclosure? Or is the bill more about Democrats looking out for nonprofit groups that tend to support liberal causes and, by extension, Democratic candidates?

[...]

One nonprofit group that’s strongly lobbying for the bill and is in line to benefit from it is New Jersey Citizen Action, a liberal-leaning organization, McHose said. Referencing IRS filings, the assemblywoman said Citizen Action — aside from its tax-exempt efforts to serve New Jersey’s low- and moderate-income families — operates a non-tax exempt political action committee and a lobbyist organization in New Jersey. Frequently, the social service and political aspects commingle, McHose said. The entities share the same board of directors, office space, mailing lists, equipment and, in some cases, staff, she said.

   Concerning the New Jersey Homeownership Preservation Act (S1599),

Assemblyman Louis Greenwald, D-Camden, who chairs the Budget Committee, insisted last week the loans must be repaid and the fees somehow returned to the mortgage lenders so the costs aren’t passed on to other borrowers, such as young families looking to buy their first home.

I am a young family.   This bill rewards irresponsibility and bad financial planning, both personally and professionally.   This bill will hurt my young family, which just bought our first home.   Mr. Greenwald and primary sponsors, Democrat Senators Ronald L. Rice and Dana L. Redd, do not exploit young families, who recently purchased our first home.   We do not want your bill.   We do not want your socialism.

With Election Weeks Away, Political Speech Under Attack on America’s Campuses

With the presidential race between John McCain and Barack Obama the focus of national attention, political speech on our nation’s campuses has come under sharp attack. In recent weeks, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has investigated open and blatant attacks on political expression at colleges and universities across the country, from a previously unreported case at Oklahoma, to better-known cases at Illinois and Texas, to smaller schools across the country. This alarming trend towards silencing political expression has prompted FIRE to release a Policy Statement on Political Activity on Campus today.

With Election Weeks Away, Political Speech Under Attack on America’s Campuses

 
PHILADELPHIA, October 15, 2008—With the presidential race between John McCain and Barack Obama the focus of national attention, political speech on our nation’s campuses has come under sharp attack. In recent weeks, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has investigated open and blatant attacks on political expression at colleges and universities across the country, from a previously unreported case at Oklahoma, to better-known cases at Illinois and Texas, to smaller schools across the country. This alarming trend towards silencing political expression has prompted FIRE to release a Policy Statement on Political Activity on Campus today.

At the University of Oklahoma, students and faculty were notified last month that “the forwarding of political humor/commentary” using their university e-mail accounts was prohibited. In response to a letter from FIRE, the university has modified its stance, stating that the prohibition is only applicable “to the extent discussions are attributable to the University as endorsing or opposing a political candidate.” However, the university has not communicated this change to the community at large, leaving many under the impression that such private e-mail forwards are forbidden. At the University of Illinois, the university Ethics Office issued a newsletter warning faculty against engaging in political expression on campus, including attending political rallies, wearing buttons, and even placing bumper stickers on cars. After widespread criticism and a letter from FIRE, President B. Joseph White issued a clarification, assuring faculty members that the university would allow them to engage in such expression.

“Political expression is exactly the speech the First Amendment was designed to protect. Our nation’s colleges and universities do their students and faculty a grave disservice when they stifle the ability to engage the crucial issues of the day,” said FIRE President Greg Lukianoff. “While colleges and universities may not institutionally endorse candidates, they have a societal duty to foster and encourage debate and discussion about those issues most important to our nation. Any blanket ban on ‘political speech’ betrays one of the academy’s most important functions.”

In addition to the situations at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Illinois, FIRE has monitored bans on political expression at several other institutions in the past few weeks. At the University of Texas at Austin (UT), two students were threatened with disciplinary action for refusing to remove political signs placed in their dormitory window. In the face of nationwide criticism, UT President William Powers Jr. waived that prohibition, pending a policy review. Iowa Western Community College has banned individual students from distributing campaign handbills and has banned postings of campaign materials while other postings are allowed. FIRE has also received reports of censorship at Fresno Pacific University, Louisiana State University, and Cuyamaca College.

In response to the numerous instances of censorship of political expression on campuses nationwide, FIRE today releases its 2008 Policy Statement on Political Activity on Campus. The policy statement details the freedom of political expression that students, student groups, faculty, and staff at public and private universities should expect at their institutions. The statement also reminds university administrators of their legal and moral obligations to ensure the protection of the political expression of students and faculty.

“FIRE’s Policy Statement on Political Activity on Campus is our attempt to end the widespread confusion about the fundamental right to political expression we’re witnessing at schools across the nation,” William Creeley, FIRE’s Director of Legal and Public Advocacy, said. “Either out of ignorance or out of sheer disregard for the rights of students and faculty, university administrators are too often implementing absurd bans on political speech this election season. FIRE’s Policy Statement is designed to inform members of the university community about their right to join in the national political discussion in the final weeks before the election.”

FIRE is a nonprofit educational foundation that unites civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals from across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, due process, freedom of expression, academic freedom, and rights of conscience at our nation’s colleges and universities. FIRE’s efforts to preserve liberty on campuses across America can be viewed at thefire.org.

What is a Wasted Vote?

23 North Lime Street  Lancaster, PA 17602  contactus@constitutionparty.org

A Wasted Vote by Chuck Baldwin October 10, 2008     In the first place, a wasted vote is a vote for someone you know does not represent your own beliefs and principles. A wasted vote is a vote for someone you know will not lead the country in the way it should go. A wasted vote is a vote for the “lesser of two evils.” Or, in the case of John McCain and Barack Obama, what we have is a choice between the “evil of two lessers.” Albert Einstein is credited with saying that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. For years now, Republicans and Democrats have been leading the country in the same basic direction: toward bigger and bigger government; more and more socialism, globalism, corporatism, and foreign interventionism; and the dismantling of constitutional liberties. Yet, voters continue to think that they are voting for “change” when they vote for a Republican or Democrat. This is truly insane! Take a look at the recent $700 billion Wall Street bailout: both John McCain and Barack Obama endorsed and lobbied for it. Both McCain and Obama will continue to bail out these international banksters on the backs of the American taxpayers. Both McCain and Obama support giving illegal aliens amnesty and a path to citizenship. In the debate this past Tuesday night, both McCain and Obama expressed support for sending U.S. forces around the world for “peacekeeping” purposes. They also expressed support for sending combat forces against foreign countries even if those countries do not pose a threat to the United States. Neither Obama nor McCain will do anything to stem the tide of a burgeoning police state or a mushrooming New World Order. Both Obama and McCain support NAFTA and similar “free trade” deals. Neither candidate will do anything to rid America of the Federal Reserve, or work to eliminate the personal income tax, or disband the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Both Obama and McCain support the United Nations. So, pray tell, how is a vote for either McCain or Obama not a wasted vote? But, back to the “he cannot win” argument: to vote for John McCain is to vote for a man who cannot win. Yes, I am saying it here and now: John McCain cannot win this election. The handwriting is on the wall. The Fat Lady is singing. It is all over. Finished. John McCain cannot win. With only three weeks before the election, Barack Obama is pulling away. McCain has already pulled his campaign out of Michigan. In other key battleground states, McCain is slipping fast. He was ahead in Missouri; now it is a toss-up or leaning to Obama. A couple of weeks ago, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida were all leaning towards McCain, or at least toss-up states. Now, they are all leaning to Obama. Even the longtime GOP bellwether state of Indiana is moving toward Obama. In addition, new voter registrations are at an all-time high, and few of them are registering as Republicans. In fact, the Republican Party now claims only around 25% of the electorate, and Independents are increasingly leaning toward Obama. Ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama is headed for an electoral landslide victory over John McCain. John McCain can no more beat Barack Obama than Bob Dole could beat Bill Clinton. I ask, therefore, Are not conservatives and Christians who vote for John McCain guilty of the same thing that they accuse people who vote for third party candidates of doing? Are they not voting for someone who cannot win? Indeed, they are. In fact, conservatives and Christians who vote for John McCain are not only voting for a man who cannot win, they are voting for a man who does not share their own beliefs and principles. If this is not insanity, nothing is! So, why not (for once in your life, perhaps) cast a vote purely for principle! Vote for someone who is truly pro-life. Someone who would quickly secure our nation’s borders, and end the invasion of our country by illegal aliens. Someone who would, on his first day in office, release Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean and fire U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. Someone who would immediately, upon assuming office, begin leading the charge to dismantle the Federal Reserve, overturn the 16th Amendment, expunge the IRS, and return America to sound money principles. Someone who would get the US out of the UN. Someone who would stop spending billions and trillions of dollars for foreign aid. Someone who would prosecute the Wall Street bankers who defrauded the American people out of billions of dollars. Someone who would work to repeal NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, the WTO, and stop the NAFTA superhighway. Someone who would say a resounding “No” to the New World Order. Someone who would stop using our brave men and women in uniform as global cops for the United Nations. Someone who would stop America’s global adventurism and interventionism. Someone who would steadfastly support and defend the right of the people to keep and bear arms. “Who is this person?” you ask. Go here to find out: BALDWIN ‘08 As John Quincy Adams said, “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” When asked why they will not vote for a third party candidate, many people will respond by saying something like, “He cannot win.” Or, “I don’t want to waste my vote.” It is true: America has not elected a third party candidate since 1860. Does that automatically mean, however, that every vote cast for one of the two major party candidates is not a wasted vote? I don’t think so.
