Friends,

The following information is a received chronology of events that have taken place since allegations were made that the MO DOR had turned certain citizen's personal data over to the FEDS.

The smoke has turned to flames.  If Missouri, what about other States?

HH....
..............

"Amazing days in our state and nation; even as we pray for those in Boston, we must turn our focus to (alleged) wrongdoing and misconduct that is damaging our rights here in Missouri. Jay Nixon and his administration have been working with the federal government over the past few months to access private information about us Missourians. The scandal is growing.

I am pausing in our work to email you an update regarding this scandal. Last night, Senator Kurt Schaefer reported new evidence of misconduct -this time it is documentation showing coordinated efforts between Governor Jay Nixon's Department of Revenue and Federal Government agencies ATF and Social Security Administration.

Nixon Administration Denials   (March 11th-April 3rd):

*March 11th: Missouri Department of Revenue Director Brian Long tells the House Committee on Government Oversight: "I was repeatedly and independently assured that these scanned source documents, as part of the license process are not, nor is there any plan, to share them again, with the federal government or any third-party vendor."

*March 12th: Missouri Department of Revenue Deputy Director John Mollenkamp said copies of concealed carry permits are only sent to a state data center. "It stops there-the documents go no further."

*April 3rd: Governor Jay Nixon denies any data transferred citing that the Department of Revenue is not "collecting a bunch of unuseful data to send to some sort of magical database someplace to mess with people."

These three denials all took place before, April 10th, when Missouri State Highway Patrol Col. Ron Replogle testified to the Missouri Senate that CCW data had been transferred to the federal government on two occasions.

Following Replogle, the Nixon Administration has change course dramatically, backtracking from previous statements.

*April 11th: Social Security Administration admits to receiving two disks, one of which was readable

*April 15th: Social Security Administration now reports that neither disk was readable

*April 15th: Missouri Department of Revenue Director Brian Long resigns only a month after making a statement that CCW data is not shared

*April 16th: Nixon Administration announces they will no longer share CCW data

Where things stand today?

*Auditor Tom Schweich announced today his plan to audit the Department of Revenue.

*Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer is meeting with the Social Security Administration Inspector General Patrick O'Carroll tomorrow.

*Attorney Russ Oliver's lawsuit on behalf of Eric Griffin is still ongoing.  

*The Missouri Senate hearing on the Department of Revenue is ongoing.

*Speaker Tim Jones request for Attorney General Chris Koster to form a special investigation has gone unanswered from Koster's office

*Senator Will Kraus's bill, which will prevent the Department of Revenue from sharing documents, is through the Missouri State Senate and to the Missouri State House

What you can do to help:

Call Governor Nixon's office: (573) 751-3222 Call Attorney General Chris Koster's office and demand he form a special investigative committee: (573)-751-3321 Write a letter to the editor.

SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO: I'M NOT CONFISCATING GUNS 

"I don't care what they say from Washington"

 

Read Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio's statement of opposition to proposed Federal gun rights legislation that would violate a citizen's 2nd Amendment rights. The article also cites a letter written to VP Joe Biden by an Oregon Sheriff stating the Sheriff's strong opposition to Federal legislation that would restrict gun ownership. According to the article, a significant number of Sheriffs in Missouri and other states have taken similar positions.  

 

On Saturday, 26 January, the CORE GROUP of The Missouri Patriot Forum, meeting in O'Fallon, MO, unanimously voted to urge the Sheriffs in St Charles and all of Missouri's counties to formally indicate their opposition to Federal legislation that would, in any way, reduce Constitutional rights, particularly 2nd Amendment rights, of Missouri's citizens.

COMMENTS ON GUN CONTROL
by Steve Blechle

 

At the turn of the 20th century the Temperance Movement was considered to be a group of wacky old women and preachers. The local saloon, bar, distillery and brewery owners and patrons thought these radical teetotalers were mad; it would never happen they thought.

They were wrong.

Fast forward to the early 1960's, the American Atheist organization was founded and led by Madalyn Murray O'Hair to remove prayer and the bible from our schools. The majority of Americans thought they were mad; it will never happen they said.

They were wrong.

December 2012, President Barrack Obama assigns Vice President Joe Biden to lead an inter-agency task force to examine the next step in new gun control regulations and deliver "concrete recommendations in about a month." Many on the Left will tell you, but in 2009: Obama signed laws allowing people to carry concealed weapons in our national parks and in their checked bags on Amtrak trains. Or that in 2010: The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence gave Obama a grade of "F".

These are Red Herrings:
(1) The change to concealed carry law in regard to National Parks was to align federal law with current state laws. NPS regulations were written over 25 years ago when few states allowed concealed carry. Today all but two states issue concealed carry permits. The Brady Centers grade F seems to be based more on Obama's inaction as opposed to his actions in regard to the NPS and Amtrak according to their own report.

(2) The only way to truly judge a person is by examining their past record and public statements. Only then can one know their true agenda and philosophy on an issue.

President Obama.  

• *Endorsed Illinois handgun ban
• *Supports local gun bans
• *2000: cosponsored bill to limit purchases to 1 gun per month
• *Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions

*Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.  

Vice-President Joe Biden. 

• *Keep assault weapons ban  
• *Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
  *Voted NO on more penalties for gun & drug violations
• *Rated "F" by the NRA <http://www.ontheissues.org/Note-NRA.asp>, indicating a pro-gun control voting record.
• *When it comes to the Second Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights, can we, as a Nation, a Nation of Riflemen, afford to (vote) "wrong" in the face of yet another squeaky wheeled, liberty stripping minority group, this time in the name of anti-gun radicals.

THE NEW FRONTIER: FOLLOW UP
by Chuck MacNab 

Violence and murder such as the most recent incident at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut is a tragedy and is deplorable. We all mourn for the victims and their relatives and friends... Maybe we need to observe how the Israeli's handle this issue!

The caption (in red type above the photo of the armed teacher), in case you cannot read it, says "Why you don't see school shootings in Israel"

A "Tidbit" Passed Along

by CA Guest Editor BK
-----

...the following facts as presented last week at the "State of the State Conference" put on by the Milken Institute. The Milken Institute is a think tank organization projecting economic trends. The presentation went something like this:

When asked about the future of California budget issues and our future here in California an economist said:

"1% of taxpayers used to pay 40% of California's income tax, with the tax increase, this 1% now will pay 50% of California's income tax. This 1% of taxpayers is a total of 129,000 individuals, corporations and families. What do you think would happen to California's budget if these 129,000 decided to relocate to Nevada?"    

Governor Brown was at the conference and I understand you could hear a pin drop!

THE NOVEMBER 2012 ELECTION Notes
  By Chuck MacNab

Here are some numbers for those who may be interested, as we are, in attempting to analyze a few of the factors connected with the outcome of the November 6 election. This information was gathered from the St Charles County, MO Election Authority and the MO Secretary of State's office. The political "Pro's" will have gone over it in fine detail by now and will undoubtedly be formulating plans for election strategies of the next two or four years.

Dick Morris also has an interesting commentary entitled "Whites stayed home and re-elected Obama" on his web site at:

http://www.dickmorris.com/whites-stayed-home-and-re-elected-obama/?utm_source=dmreports&utm_medium=dmreports&utm_campaign=dmreports

 

Registration for local elected positions in Missouri begins on December 11, 2012 and closes on January 15, 2013. Anyone who is interested in running for local office will need to register with the appropriate authority (Fire District, Ambulance District, Mayor, City Council, etc.) between these dates. The election takes place on April 2, 2013. If you believe in conservative values, please consider running for office, otherwise decision making will default to the "usual suspects." 

It seems that with each election we are confronted with re-learning lessons that we should have learned from the last election. Primarily that the participation of informed and politically active people is the only way to remove corruption and change bad political leadership in government. The 16 trillion $$ question is when will we learn the lesson? If we want to have a say in how government affects our lives (whether it be local, state or national), many more citizens will need to get involved in a meaningful way. Many more otherwise uninvolved citizens need to be politically active on a personal basis. We have reached the point where this needs to take priority over activities where it normally would not. People need to find an organization that represents their basic views and become active in it. Organizations must to come together in statewide or national movements. They need to have facilities, adequate funding, communications and leadership in place. We have stated this before but it deserves repeating: Everybody "doing their own thing" generally provides an election result similar to November 6... it will guarantee continued, permanent losses.

On a personal level, we each need to know the facts and the reasons why a vote should be cast a certain way and that reason should not simply mimic someone else's opinion. It should be separately arrived at through an organization one has confidence in and/or sources deemed accurate and reliable. Opinion and action based on the sort of gossip and rumor that dominates many social organizations (sometimes called political clubs) simply won't "cut it." These organizations exist mainly because their members do not understand or engage in constructive debate. They are intolerant of opinions that differ from their own, no matter what amount of misinformation, lack of experience and mythology creates that opinion.

Checking with the Secretary of State (most have a web site with information) or paying a visit to your local election authority for information will give you a better over-all picture of how your fellow citizens vote during elections. That may lead you to draw surprising conclusions. Here are some interesting numbers from the November 6 election (St Charles County, MO):

2012 election (St Charles County, MO):

Registered voters = 256,595

Actual votes cast = 185,690

72.81%

2008 election (St Charles County, MO): 

Registered voters = 243,746

Actual votes cast = 189,672

77.82%

----- 

2012 Election

 

Obama = 71,798

Romney = 110,732  

-----  

McCaskill = 89,993

Akin = 82,278

Note: St Charles County, Missouri has been a "bright spot" in the state when it comes to voter turnout in Presidential elections. (Not very admirable when it comes to turnout for local elections, though.) In the Nov. 2012 election, the county had the highest percentage of voter turnout (relative to registered voters) of any county in the state of Missouri but it was LOWER, percentage-wise, than it was in the 2008 election.

It is important to point out that after Akin made his final decision to stay in the Senate race, we did support him in both hard copy and web editions of our publications. It would have been meaningless not to, as, by his decision, he had placed us at the point of no return. So, we went down with the ship even though we and many experienced people knew what the likely result would be. As we have said, nobody is interested in pointing the finger of blame at anyone. The reason it is important to understand the necessity for listening carefully to what veteran Party leaders and others with political experience have to say about this set of circumstances is so that such devastating mistakes can be avoided in the future. Compounding such errors by calling Party leaders "Bosses," "Rinos" and other such terms in the final stages of a campaign is immature and unconstructive. Such demonstrations remind us of the kids in the checkout lane who carry on a temper tantrum because mother won't buy them a candy bar! 

Looking at the vote totals for McCaskill and Akin we can see that even in a county that is a stronghold of the Republican Party those who initially played a part in encouraging Akin to stay in the race did great damage to Republican candidates. The Akin activists also failed to properly analyze the Democrat activities in the primary election. The Democrats raised more money for Akin to win the primary than his own campaign did! What does that tell you? Finally, the Akin-Mourdock blunder drove a majority of women back to the Democrat Party. Nobody knows for sure whether that was really a deciding factor in Romney's defeat, but it highlighted a Republican Party Platform that needed to be downplayed. In our opinion the activists who encouraged Akin to stay in the race should have paid attention to informed Party officials instead of calling them names and showing the Democrats just how divided the Party was. The vote total shows the result. Conclusion: The Democrats skillfully used Republican activists (at all levels, e. g. NJ Gov. Christie) to outmaneuver the Republican Party with key groups on just about every level!

Dick Morris may have drawn an accurate picture of why Romney lost the national election. When a comparison is made between the 2008 turnout for McCain and the 2012 turnout for Romney we can see that a lot of Republicans did not vote in the 2012 election. Even though St Charles County had a large turnout for Romney, percentage-wise it was NOT as much as it was in the 2008 election.

We have been convinced for some time that it will take a REAL crisis before citizens at large (especially in Republican majority areas where "the good life" ...everything is relative... survives) .. will recognize the need to get involved, no matter how many times we state the obvious. Presently, most people (regardless of whether they vote) are not involved enough to come to the sort of informed conclusions that will slow the presently rapid and systematic destruction of American culture. Maybe a REAL crisis and REAL hardship will develop out of the policies of the recently re-elected Democrat Administration but it looks as though those that have been in office for the last four years, and who will be there for the next four, are employing the "boiled frog" theory and it will be too late for our culture to recover once the downhill slide is recognized by a majority of voters. Then, of course, there is the disconcerting thought that we have become the United States of Chicago and that the "changes" are permanent!

OBAMACARE AND THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
By Chuck MacNab 

 

We assume that you are aware that the Supreme Court has sided with Barrack Obama on his affordable Health Care Bill (Obamacare). Here are some thoughts we present for your consideration.

 

First off, the Republican majority in the Missouri Legislature (and other States) obviously took the Obama Administration's ploy to misinform and mislead opponents of Obama care by believing his declaration that it was NOT a tax. Then, in a prophetic statement that should have triggered her recall, then Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, declared that we "will know what's in it after it's enacted (or words to that effect). Conservatives wasted valuable energy by declaring all out war on something that was not what they thought it was. Duh... hey guys, they are attacking over here... not where you are building the fort!

 

The Supreme Court cleared up an obviously deliberate White House lie by calling it exactly what it was, a bankrupting, job eliminating, and BIG tax increase on the middle class. The effect of Obamacare is to transfer wealth away from the incomes of those who contribute to society (not just the wealthy) and move it to a pay off for those who believe in (and are currently benefiting from) government jobs, food stamps and welfare. We do not include those who EARNED their benefits over a lifetime of work... those people are being royally shafted by the Obamacare removal of 500 million dollars of Medicare benefits. The Supreme Court just indicated that's OK! (Here come the long lines at your doctor's office... you will be lucky if he/she will still accept Medicare patients.)

 

We suspect that the lies from government will continue, generated by the current brand of no-conscience liberals and, minus wits, absorbed by the "Duh" crowd in Congress, the Tea Party and the State legislatures! Soon, those who are receiving benefits will start to feel the pinch, perhaps even the elimination, of benefits when taxpayer money runs out. Anyone ever hear of Stockton, California?

 

What will the radical liberals propose when the money runs out? A look at cities and states like Stockton and states like California, Illinois, Nevada and a few other places and the picture becomes clear (Whether some are in denial or not). Maybe that will pave the way for an Obama dictatorship...maybe instead of Banana Republic we will have an Obama Republic! Maybe it will be centered on comprehensive, total socialism or Communism? Are these thoughts a bit radical for you? If so...better make sure Obama and his fellow travelers are defeated in November! 

WHIPPING UP THE TROOPS... BUT WHOSE TROOPS???

THE KEY TO THE 2012 ELECTIONS IS VOTER TURNOUT!

(By this we mean...Democrats staying home and Republicans and independents going to the polls on Election Day!) 

by Chuck MacNab 

 

Romney needs to hold rallies in Republican stronghold areas and pay less attention to areas where Democrats are the majority.  For instance, yesterday in Missouri he held several events in St. Louis County (Democrat Stronghold). This triggered a response from the Democrats and gave them an opportunity to rev up their troops.  

 

Campaigning in Democrat strongholds would seem at best to be a waste of time and at worst to be a motivator to get out the vote for BO. Could the Romney Campaign be spending precious campaign time getting in the face of Obama's supporters so they will be more certain to turn out in BIG NUMBERS in November? The event at the Ritz Carleton was a winner because it was a fund raiser attended by supporters. Our comments here refer to the earlier public event. We would just as soon follow a strategy that tells BO's supporters that the election is "on Thursday" and "not to bother to vote, Obama has it made!" Maybe Joe Sixpak leftie will believe it and be distracted by something that takes him/her away from the polls on election day! 

 

We would urge the Romney Campaign to be sure to include a healthy dose of campaigning in Republican and independent conservative stronghold areas like St. Charles County, Missouri where Republicans and conservatives outnumber the "lefties" by comfortable margins. We sense that more motivation is needed in order to insure a BIG majority vote for Romney. That huge turnout will be needed from these areas in order to make up the difference and get past the divisions that still exist from a very divisive primary campaign.  

 

Republicans and independents still need to be motivated to go to the polls and in their present mindset they are unlikely to drive through Democrat majority country to hear a campaign message no matter how well it is delivered! We know Romney can motivate conservatives and independents and the campaign needs to recognize this and schedule plenty of appearances in conservative areas like St. Charles County. 

 

Our view is that VOTER TURNOUT is THE KEY to winning in November and in order to assure that, the grass roots folks in conservative areas need to see more of Mitt Romney! 

MISSOURI DELEGATES ARE DIVIDED BETWEEN CANDIDATES - ROMNEY GETS THE MAJORITY 
Commentary by Chuck MacNab

Missouri Republican and conservative activists need to start paying attention to reality. The reality is that Obama will win in November if Republicans and conservatives don't start putting their differences on the back burner and work enthusiastically to defeat Obama. We issued this same warning in early 2008, along with the observation that conservatives were lethargic, confused, disoriented and distracted. Too many disregarded the warnings of those who knew what an Obama Presidency would do to the country and thought it was "business as usual." Well, as we have sadly found out, it wasn't! Are voters going to go into denial again? If the polls are any judge, "maybe."

Where was the Tea Party BEFORE Obama was elected? Well, they were in denial, doing nothing. When it became obvious, AFTER OBAMA, individuals who ultimately became Tea Party supporters refused to organize into an effective political force. Obama is their motivator, not any organization of their own creation, and this is an unreliable way to achieve an objective. Many independent conservatives don't like to hear the truth and instead, point to the "victory" in the House in 2010. That was significant but Obama was its motivator, not a political movement with a durable purpose. It was a "reaction" and, guess what, he is still spending the country into bankruptcy, pandering to our enemies, destroying our economy, expanding government, packing the courts with liberals and burying left wing socialists so deep in the bureaucracy that nobody will be able to root them out no matter what the people want or who wins elections of the future. It would be like Chicago where a Republican couldn't get elected to office if Democrats buried 100 conservatives alive in Grant Park at noon in front of ten thousand observers ...and issued a press release about it!

Today, we have confusion and opposing interests at work long after they should have been checked at the door. So, in Missouri, we can see from the results below that many stubbornly disagree and while disaster looms, they ignore it to feed their personal political mythologies. There is nothing complex about an election. It's simple, the person who gets the most votes wins! Disagreement at this point in a Presidential campaign is a mistake that we cannot afford. Republicans and conservatives must come to understand that the bottom line is to defeat Obama in November and to "get it together" in order to accomplish it. Too many are still busy drilling holes in the bottom of the boat. Many insist on continuing to play a destructive game that exists only in their imagination. Somehow, they believe this puts them in the game of politics! This sort of "game" will keep Obama and all of his socialist cronies in power

This time out, if Obama wins, we will see him come to full Marxist bloom. Many know that in an Obama second term, when it comes to raising taxes, the cost of fuel and controlling every aspect of your life, "you ain't seen nothin' yet!" Imagining an Obama victory is frightening and enduring it will be painful. Can we not see this and put lesser considerations aside in order to prevent the destruction of our country and our way of life? 

 

Why not make a promise to yourself, to your family's future and to those who have given their all, present and past, and who have fought and are still fighting for freedom? That promise is, put your distractions aside until after November, join whatever organization or campaign you can find and dedicate yourself to doing whatever it takes to defeat Obama. There are some great, active campaigns that need your help. Let us suggest helping Mitt Romney win the Presidency and perhaps between now and November you might help a Republican candidate maintain or win a seat in Congress. In addition to winning the White House, it will be essential to elect a majority of effective conservative Republicans to both houses of Congress in order to root out the deeply buried leftists in the bureaucracy who always go underground and hide when a Republican President occupies the White House. 

 

If reelected, Obama will imagine that he has been given a mandate to destroy the country and the culture that we grew up in and that we know and love... if he wins, he will be correct in that assumption! We guarantee that in Obama's second term we will all passionately wish we had done something more to prevent his re-election. (end of commentary)
