Our in-studio guest was Adam Kokesh - he's thinking about running for US Congress in New Mexico!  Check out his website at drafkokesh.com!  We also did a video blog with him!

 

We had Karen Renick of VoteRescue.org call in at 8pm regarding the bill HB4653 that will be in committee hearings on Monday, April 27th.

Our good friend, Marcus Jonte, also joined us in studio this weekend.

Evidently Kansas City is a bigger hotbed of terrorism than the middle east.

from http://preparemetrokc.org/

7 signs of terrorism:

"planned, organized and carried out by individuals or groups."

Just how many things do you do that sound like this?  Planned a wedding lately??

One example is a guy sitting on a bench in a park - looks like he could be studying - and a woman runs by and calls to "report his suspicious behavior".  Kids, no studying in parks!  

Oblique reference to fusion centers at the end - police have procedures in place to share information with other branches of law enforcement.

It all follows the same gist we are seeing everywhere - MAKE SURE YOU REPORT EVERY 'SUSPICIOUS' BEHAVIOR TO THE AUTHORITIES AND DON'T ASK THE PERSON ANY QUESTIONS!!!!

It's become pervasive.  Neighborhood watch, neighbors spying on neighbors.

Court rules 2nd Amendment trumps local rules.  "protection against government degenerating into tyranny"

http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=95767

Hofmann cited a concurring opinion by Judge Ronald M. Gould, who wrote that nothing less than the security of the nation – a defense against both external and internal threats – rests on the provision.

"The right to bear arms is a bulwark against external invasion. We should not be overconfident that oceans on our east and west coasts alone can preserve security," Gould wrote. "We recently saw in the case of the terrorist attack on Mumbai that terrorists may enter a country covertly by ocean routes, landing in small craft and then assembling to wreak havoc. That we have a lawfully armed populace adds a measure of security for all of us and makes it less likely that a band of terrorists could make headway in an attack on any community before more professional forces arrived. Second, the right to bear arms is a protection against the possibility that even our own government could degenerate into tyranny, and though this may seem unlikely, this possibility should be guarded against with individual diligence."

Victory! Kansas Governor Vetoes Milk Labeling Bill!

In a victory for local dairy farmers and consumers, Gov. Sebelius vetoes controversial bill that would have limited rbGH labeling on dairy products in the state

To support Kansas dairy farmers and consumers, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has vetoed legislation concerning the labels on milk products! The bill, HB 2121, faced massive opposition from dairy, consumer, health, animal welfare and environmental organizations across the country; nearly 30 of which wrote a letter to Governor Sebelius, President Obama’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, urging her to veto HR 2121.

CFS True Food Network members sent over 8,000 emails to Governor Sebelius urging her to veto this bad bill, and your voices were heard!

The controversial bill passed by the Kansas State Legislature would have required an additional disclaimer on labels for dairy products produced from cows not treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH or rbST), a genetically engineered, artificial hormone that induces cows to produce more milk.

The Governor’s office sent out a press release late this afternoon, explaining why she vetoed the bill:

“...the Bill before me...provides for changes in dairy labeling that could make it more difficult to provide consumers with clear information. The milk labeling provisions negatively impact a dairy producer’s ability to inform consumers that milk is from cows not treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBST).”

“Supporters of the bill claim it’s necessary to protect consumers from false or misleading information.  Yet there has been overwhelming opposition by consumer groups, small dairy producers and retailers to this proposed legislation. Therefore, pursuant to Article 2, Section 14 of the Constitution of the State of Kansas , I veto HB 2121.”

Thanks to all who wrote and called the Governor's office - your action helped stop the industry's attempt to take away our right to know what's in our food!

Read our press release and more about the veto

While this is a tremendous victory, it may not be over yet. There could be attempts to over-ride the veto, and our coalition is already making preparations to keep this veto intact. The final session of the Kansas legislature starts April 28 and could go as long as 10 days. We’ll be ready. Stay tuned for further updates.
