#1: “UNSUSTAINABLE”: Congressional Budget Office Highly Critical of Obama Policy (Guest is in PST):In what is becoming standard protocol, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is once again dressing down the White House for its fiscal math—this time lowering the boom on a budget bound to go bust, saying it will add more than $9.7 trillion to America’s national debt by 2020.

Reiterating the words of CBO spokespeople and economists alike, Swiss America CEO, Craig R. Smith, says Obama’s path is “unsustainable.”

“If interest rates ever start inching up, which we all know they will do,” says Smith, “we will quickly find our government paying 50, 60 or 70 percent of all revenues on interest alone on $12 trillion. And that $12 trillion doesn't even take into account unfunded mandates like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and government pensions.”

As the CBO went on to calculate that this debt will amount to 90 percent of the nation’s GDP in 2020, with interest payments alone around $800 billion, CBO Chief Douglas Elmendorf (pictured) said, “The U.S. is entering unfamiliar territory in its level of public debt . . . It will be larger over the next decade than it’s been in half a century . . . The choice is not whether to change course from current policy but how quickly and in what way.”

As complicated as this beast may seem, Smith says the solution—as always—is simple. “Stop government spending, reduce the size of government, and cut taxes across the board to grow the economy and create jobs.”

But, more than that, he adds that the mindset of America must change as well. And not just at the government level. “We simply must get away from the cradle-to-grave entitlement mentality that suggests it is a birthright in America to have food, shelter, clothing, education, retirement and, now, healthcare. We cannot continue to spend money we do not have.”

And if we don’t change our ways? . . . Call Special Guests today to get a coldwater economic view that crosses over into that of a cultural shift everyone in the U.S. must realize for ourselves and future generations. Schedule an interview with Craig Smith.

During your show, Smith will also offer, FREE, Swiss America’s latest Special Report, The Incredible Shrinking Dollar: How to Fight Back, along with his company’s Gold 101 DVD. They’re both available just by calling 800-289-2646.

#2: NO FISHING! Federal Government Considering Banning ALL Fishing in US (guest in Eastern Time):The Obama administration is reportedly putting the final touches on an Executive Order to ban all fishing in the United States. No more public input is being accepted for this federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters. That’s according to ESPN. (see article link below)

This announcement comes at the time when the situation supposedly still is "fluid" and the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force still hasn't issued its final report on zoning uses of these waters. That's a disappointment, but not really a surprise for fishing industry insiders who have negotiated for months with officials at the Council on Environmental Quality and bureaucrats on the task force. These angling advocates have come to suspect that public input into the process was a mere charade from the beginning.

Available for Talk Show interviews on this outrage is Bob Rinear, editor of Main Street Market Watch and Financial Intelligence Report, who stated, “While America is fixated on National Healthcare, The Obama administration is quietly plotting to end all father-son fishing outings and in the process destroy businesses and further ruin our economy.”

"When the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) completed their successful campaign to convince the Ontario government to end one of the best scientifically managed big game hunts in North America (spring bear)," said Phil Morlock, director of environmental affairs for Shimano.

"Now we see NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the administration planning the future of recreational fishing access in America based on a similar agenda of these same groups and other Big Green anti-use organizations, through an Executive Order by the President. The current U.S. direction with fishing is a direct parallel to what happened in Canada with hunting: The negative economic impacts on hard working American families and small businesses are being ignored.

Unless anglers speak up and convince their Congressional representatives to stop this bureaucratic freight train, it appears that the task force will issue a final report for "marine spatial planning" by late March, with President Barack Obama then issuing an Executive Order to implement its recommendations — whatever they may be.

ABOUT ROBERT (BOB) RINEAR (pronounced reh-NEAR):

InvestYourself was founded in October 1997 by Robert Rinear, who owned several successful business ventures primarily in the jewelry industry. In fact, his introduction to the financial world began as the result of his experience timing the price of tangible assets, including gemstones, gold and silver, all on a daily basis—a talent critically needed to be successful in the jewelry industry.

As Bob Rinear saw the price of gold soaring in the late 1980s, he needed to find the causes of that move. What he found was intriguing. Political issues, global economics and even something as simple as the industrial output in Japan would move the price of tangible assets. He needed to learn more.

As he became more “in tune” with the global economic process, he noticed that one of his best customers traded stocks and options on a daily basis. With Mr. Rinear’s views on the overall economic situation and “Charley’s” ability in picking stocks, they found a winning combination. But it still wasn't complete.

Once introduced to the intricacies of the equity markets, it didn’t take Mr. Rinear long to realize that he had a knack for predicting the everyday flows of the stock and options markets. He began to attend trading seminars and training camps with the desire to learn how to make profitable trades on a daily basis. One thing became abundantly clear—none of the classes gave him the total picture about how to accomplish his goal. Something was still missing in regards to how to make a living by trading stocks and options. Likewise, he realized that not all opportunities came in just stocks and options. Sometimes it was a quick move in precious metals or Treasury bonds. Other times it may have been a move in a currency.

Not to be defeated, Mr. Rinear slowly developed his own trading style that began to produce profits. After taking what he learned from the seminars and injecting his own methods of calculating stock movements, options movements, currency, real estate and Treasury movements, a successful concept emerged. He expanded this trading concept into a workable platform that anyone could follow. That was the beginning of his newsletter “Market Insight & Outlook” (now the Financial Intelligence Report). From those first few issues it became clear that the public would benefit from his years of research. He decided to offer it to the masses. From that humble beginning a company called “InvestYourself” was created. Its main goal is to help investors of every experience level gain the investing knowledge necessary to win in a tough game that includes enabling investors to grow in their knowledge of real estate, stocks, bonds and finances in general.

#3: ARAB–ISRAELI COUNTER PROTESTS IN NYC: Showdown of Truth Tonight at Waldorf Astoria (Guest in EST):While the Friends of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) organization is celebrating its annual dinner at one of New York City’s most famous hotels on Tuesday, March 9, outside in the street, an Arab demonstration will try to disrupt the IDF’s Big Apple cart.

But, in retaliation, the Americans for a Safe Israel organization is planning a demonstration of its own to drown out the Arab noise with waves of truth about Fatah, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority (PA) and, most of all, the unreported and underappreciated service that the IDF extends to Arabs every day.

Available for interviews leading up tonight’s protest–counter-protest duel, or for commentary afterwards, is James Hutchens, PhD., a retired U.S. Army chaplain and Middle-Eastern policy expert as president of the JerUSAlem Connection, who says, “Next to the U.S. military, Israel’s (IDF) is probably the most humane in all the world.”

In a press announcement doubling as a rally-cry invitation to attend, Americans for a Safe Israel wrote:

“We will be handing out information, holding signs, Israeli and American flags, and alerting the public as to the true nature of Fatah, Hamas and the PA. The Hamas terrorist acts against Christians and Fatah, the use of women and children as human shields, the firing of rockets from mosques, homes and schools in order to deter IDF retaliation, the misinformation and hatred being fed to Arab children in their classrooms and through PA media, will all be detailed.

We’ll be highlighting the IDF and Israeli assistance to the Arabs in the fields of medical care, education and providing a standard of living for Arab Israelis that is the highest in the Middle East. In addition, in opposition to the recent ‘apartheid’ claims against Israel, the Israeli Arabs enjoy full democratic rights in the Knesset, in their religious observances, and in the media.”

Call Special Guests today to arrange an interview with James Hutchens, as the Israeli response to Arab attacks takes a new twist outside the Waldorf.

HOSTS, PLEASE ALLOW THE REVEREND AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE HIS ORGANIZATION’S WEBSITE DURING YOUR SHOW.

Dr. Hutchens is on a mission to keep God’s purposes for Israel and the Jewish people a continuing, visible issue for all to engage. He is on the forward edge in the battle area of informing, educating and activating America’s Christian community on issues related to Israel from a Biblical perspective.

From his military experience, Dr. Hutchens is well acquainted with the concept of “Mission.” He came to faith in Christ as an enlisted paratrooper under the ministry of his unit chaplain. After college and seminary, he returned to the Army as a chaplain

Dr. Hutchens was decorated for personal bravery in Viet Nam, including the Purple Heart, as the first chaplain wounded in Viet Nam. He served with the famous 173rd Airborne Brigade, and later with the celebrated “Green Berets.” Dr. Hutchens retired from active duty in 1994 with the rank of Brigadier General. His personal account of service in Viet Nam, “Beyond Combat,” tells of his experience as a combat chaplain in Viet Nam.

Dr. Hutchens was ordained to the ministry in 1962 and has served, concurrent with his chaplain duties, as a church planter and senior pastor for over 24 years. His wife, Patty, is an exhibiting artist and professor at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Northern Virginia Community College system.

(TJCI)

TJCI serves as an advocate for Christian Zionism. It stands as one with Christians worldwide who are in agreement with what God’s Word says about Israel. As Christian Zionists, TJCI supports the modern State of Israel as the partial fulfillment of God’s covenant promise to provide a national homeland of the Jewish people. Through its Operation Aliyah, TJCI has helped bring over 80,000 Jews out of the former Soviet Union back to Israel. Dr. Hutchens, and the TJCI team, believes God’s future focus will be on the 6.2 million Jews in the Americas. TJCI’s Elisha Fund brings food, shelter and medicine to countless impoverished and needy Israelis – its Operation Life for Israel provides aid and comfort to victims of terror and supports sanctity of human life endeavors throughout Israel.

Rather than “replacing” or “superseding” Israel and the Jews as the covenant people of God, Dr. Hutchens sees Christians as having been “engrafted” into the family of God and thus joint-heirs of the covenant promises of God. He believes TJCI is called to restore an appreciation of the Hebrew roots of Christianity. He seeks to encourage all believers to wait with expectation “for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” These projects and purposes are carried out with an attitude of extending mercy because of the mercy we have received in Christ.

With this perspective, Christians have a sense of urgency to be used by God as never before. TJCI encourages you to be a part of living out that sense of urgency as a result of having a Biblical perspective on Israel.

Under Dr. Hutchens’ leadership, The JerUSAlem Connection’ Int’l stays current on all the issues regarding the Middle East and Israel on a daily basis and keeps an ongoing update through “The JerUSAlem Connection Report” online magazine.

#4: WHAT’S A FEW TRILLION DOLLARS?: Obama’s Deficit Projections Don’t Jive With CBO (Guest in CST):Not that the President was ingratiating himself with Americans when his administration announced that its budget would put the U.S. in the red some $8.5 trillion by 2020. But when the nonpartisan and much more credible Congressional Budget Office (CBO) weighed in, the White House still appeared to be somewhat dishonest with its claims.

The CBO says Obama’s big-spending plan, particularly in light of proposed tax cuts for the middle class, will further bury the U.S. under a debt more in the neighborhood of $9.7 trillion.

So what’s a few trillion? Available for interviews to offer an assessment that goes beyond sobering and heads straight for frightening is Bob Chapman, a seasoned economist and publisher of The International Forecaster, who has been extremely critical of the U.S. government’s fiscal irresponsibility and, in particular, the Federal Reserve’s power to control monetary policy.

“Quite frankly,” says Chapman, “The CBO estimate is probably conservative. As you can see, socialism is really expensive. On the other hand, we see no way the Treasury can continue to borrow the money it needs to keep this Titanic afloat. We wouldn’t be surprised if 90 percent wasn’t purchased by the Federal Reserve from money created out of thin air.”

In just the first year alone—the one landmark where the White House and the CBO are still aligned—the nation’s $1.5 trillion deficit would equal 10.3 percent of the overall economy—the highest since WWII.

The President says his plan is designed to bring that deficit down to 3 percent of the GDP. Chapman says, “That is pure fiction.” And the CBO says, under the White House plan, the national debt will instead take off to become 90 percent of the economy.

So how do we turn this “Titanic” around? Should the middle class brace for more taxes, contrary to Obama’s campaign promise? Is it time to get serious about the reality of a United States gone bankrupt and how our lives will change dramatically?

Call Special Guests today to schedule an interview with Bob Chapman.

ROBERT J. CHAPMAN BIOGRAPHY:

Mr. Chapman is 73 years old. He was born in Boston, MA, and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, one year in Canada and another year in the Bahamas.

Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.

From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.

Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.

Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.

In 1976, after the Soweto riots, Mr. Chapman began buying North American shares exclusively for his clients. Up to that point only a handful of American and Canadian issues interested him, due to the high dividends the South African shares had paid out over the years. Between 1976 and 1988 his business surged from 1,000 to 6,000 clients, so the bulk of his business ended up being Vancouver Stock Exchange issues. For this reason he is very conversant with the quality of management, geologists, properties and traders on today’s North American scene. He is well known.

From 1976 to present he has spoken and given workshops at over 200 business conferences worldwide, and has been on radio and TV thousands of times. Until his retirement he was always judged by the attendees to be one of the top three speakers and never once was lower than first in workshops due to his vast knowledge of the mining business and his grasp of worldwide financial markets and political scenes.

In June of 1991, at the request of business associates, and due to retirement boredom, he began writing the International Forecaster.

Over the past 40 years, Bob Chapman has immersed himself in the study of world politics and economics. His articles have run in more than 200 publications. His newsletter, "THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER,” has active subscribers all across world. Bob Chapman has conducted hundreds of workshops at business conferences and has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and television programs.

Some of his uncanny predictions include:

* Called the top of the market in April 2000.
* Predicted 9/11 or an event like that, nine months early, within 33 days of it actually occurring.
* Predicted the invasion of both Afghanistan and Iraq two years before they happened.

#5: BLUE ON BLUE TIRADE: House Representative Eric Massa Unloads on Rahm Emanuel, Obama Administration (GUEST IN MOUNTAIN TIME):Facing accusations that he sexually harrassed a male staffer, Congressman Eric Massa (D-NY) announced that he would resign. However, during a local radio interview on WKPQ on Sunday, March 7th, Massa levied some very empassioned and alarming accusations.

Noticably angry, Massa claimed the Obama administration set him up because of his vote against the increasingly unpopular health care bill. Two individuals Massa singled out by name were House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who Massa called a liar and White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel who appeared to be the target of most of Massa's ire.

As someone familiar with inside-the-beltway politics, former U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO), is available for interviews to discuss the increasingly heated debate over the health care bill. As Beauprez will point out, failure of the bill's passage has not lied with the Republicans but with the failure of the Democrats in both houses to agree.

A possible sign of the acrimony that exists within the Democrat party may be exemplified with the example provided courtesy of the circumstances surrounding Massa's decision to resign. If, as Massa claims, Rahm Emanuel along with other forces aligned with the administration targeted Massa because of how he voted on health care, it is likely going to feed the arguments of those who are claiming corruption is running rampant in Washington.

On his daily blog at www.aLineOfSight.com, Beauprez provides analyis of various political stories from the perspective of someone who has seen firsthand how Congressman via his job as a U.S. Representative from Colorado.

Then, in his blog, Beauprez takes it to another level, expressing his frustration over the remarkable double standard too.

Find out exactly where the outrage is by calling Special Guests to schedule an interview with the insightful—and, like most Americans right now, fed up—Bob Beauprez.

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:

Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it.

He was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950s.

The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught Bob a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.

During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.

The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.

Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.

While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.

While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.

In 2006, he was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.

Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).

Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.

#6: OBAMA’S IMMIGRATION SNEAK ATTACK: Plan to Make a Run for Amnesty Lurks Right Behind Healthcare (Guest in MST) :Watch out. While the one hand of ObamaCare is waving up in the air, drawing everyone’s attention, here comes the other. Immigration reform and amnesty for the more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States.

Last week, the White House met in private with two Senators—Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY)—in a behind-the-scenes move to rejuvenate immigration legislation. The President’s apparent strategy is to dovetail a bill right in behind the likely healthcare vote and before Congress gets too distracted by the midterm elections in November.

While many conservatives are scratching their heads about the likes of Graham and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) supporting any bill that proposes amnesty, former U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO) bypasses all that and attacks the substance rather than the party lines, going back to the “comprehensive immigration reform that (President) Bush promoted,” and calling it “nonsense.”

“Graham, McCain, Obama, Schumer . . . they all have it backwards,” says Beauprez. “They start with amnesty and pretend they can also secure the border. Well, they won't. Obama’s budget cuts more than $200 million out of our border security. Connect those dots. What’s his priority?”

Get the answer to that question by calling Special Guests and booking an interview with Bob Beauprez today. In addition to providing his perspective on the madness behind the method of Obama’s amnesty for illegals, Beauprez is also prepared to explain his three-step solution for effective immigration reform that optimizes security and rewards only those who follow the law, and penalizes those who don’t—including immigrants and U.S. employers alike.

#7: TEA PARTY GETTING SERIOUS: New Breed of Politicians Receiving Formal Training (Guest in EST):When the swells of the Tea Party movement first began to rise across the United States, sitting politicians in Washington not only didn’t listen to them. They mocked and marginalized them. Some attempting to just brush them aside as an angry white minority.

Since then, the Tea Partiers have pushed back with a surprising mainstream recourse that has resulted in several upset elections. But, apparently, as Ned Ryun, President of American Majority, can attest, they are not done yet.

This sleeping giant mass of voters disgusted with the status quo in D.C.—many of whom have never been politically active before—are now ready for the next step. And, like the true conservatives they are, believing in self-initiative, they are even serious about running for office themselves.

“People have realized that it’s not enough to simply talk or protest,” says Ryun in a recent joint statement released by his and several other grassroots conservative organizations. “There has to be meaningful, purposeful action. The grassroots want to be empowered in a real way, not whipped into a frenzy with nothing practical to take home and apply. We’re going to give people the resources necessary to change the system they are confronted with.”

By “giving people resources,” Ryun is referring to the action these organizations are taking that was the cause for the news release. Together with the John Hancock Committee for the States, RedState.com and Smart Girl Politics, Ryun’s American Majority is conducting a traveling series of Post-Party Summits called Organizing for a Free America that will provide everyday Americans with the formal training they need to be activists and politicians who can affect real change in their communities.

For more information on the Summit and its tour schedule, a report on the almost overwhelming level of participation and a general look inside the renewed political energy in the American people unlike anything seen in decades, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Ned Ryun. It will be an uplifting perspective that will have folks in your audience believing they really can take back their country.

ABOUT YOUR EXPERT GUEST, NED RYUN:

A former presidential writer for George W. Bush and son of former U.S. Congressman Jim Ryun, Ned Ryun is currently the President of American Majority, a national organization committed to identifying and training liberty‐minded leaders. Ned was the co‐founder and former director of the Generation Joshua program.

Ned earned degrees in English and History from the University of Kansas and has co‐authored Heroes Among Us and The Courage to Run with his father and his twin brother, Drew. Ned and his wife, Becca, reside in Northern Virginia with their sons, Nathaniel and James and their daughter, Charlotte “Lottie.”

When asked which Founding Father he relates to most with, and why, Ryun answered, “Roger Sherman. I am fascinated by a man who is not well known, but who signed the Articles of Confederation, helped draft and then signed the Declaration of Independence, and then also signed the Constitution and was a member of the First Congress, sitting on the committee that helped draft the Bill of Rights. He had a tremendous impact on the founding of this country.”

ABOUT THE AMERICAN MAJORITY

At American Majority, we believe that real political change begins at the local level. It is going to take engaged citizens working together in their communities to effectively implement freedom on a national level. We believe that individual liberty will only be achieved through limited government and free markets and that by training candidates and activists to be effective towards those goals today, we will enhance tomorrow.

#8: FEMINISM GOES GLOBAL: Radical U.N. ‘Super Agency’ to Impose Views on the World (Guest in EST):There’s a very good chance the people in your audience have never heard of the United Nations’ annual Commission on the Status of Women. Further, they probably have no idea that the CSW conference is going on at the U.N. headquarters right now, until March 12.

But according to Austin Ruse, Director of the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute, if ever there was a time for the American public to get familiar with this relatively obscure congregation, it is now.

As a guest on your show, Ruse can get your audience up to speed very quickly on the CSW, and its parade of radical feminist groups seeking to gain and use U.N. authority to impose Hollywood-leftist-style views on the world, including countries that are as far from “Hollywood” culturally as they are geographically.

This year, with an endorsement from the Obama administration and the European Union, the CSW is moving to establish a U.N. “super agency” designed to advance the rights of women around the world—albeit “rights” as perceived by a segment of the female population that arguably has its own agenda, and not the best interests of all women in mind.

By definition, this “super agency” will be “dedicated to gender equality” and the “empowerment of women”—concepts that, according to the Population Research Institute (PRI) in an article by Catholic News Agency, “have been used to justify the admonishing of Belarus for celebrating Mother’s Day and the chastising of Denmark for having too few female generals in the ranks of its military.”

Worse, says Ruse, groups on hand, such as The Center for Reproductive Rights and the International Planned Parenthood Federation are seeking to leverage the U.N. in a global pro-abortion crusade that will march under the banner of “sexual rights,” as if all countries and cultures understood and valued “sexual rights” in the same way Western feminists do.

Get the full story on this remarkably unknown movement that threatens families and children around the world. Call Special Guests for a revealing interview with Austin Ruse.

#9: LIFE BEFORE LOYALTY: 12 House Dems Vow to Kill ObamaCare Over Abortion (Guest in EST):Congress is coming down to the eleventh hour on President Obama’s healthcare reform hammer-time and Michigan Representative Bart Stupak (pictured, in the white shirt), along with several of his House Democrat colleagues, is beginning to feel like the rest of America.

That’s because, as it stands now, the leftist leadership trifecta of Obama, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is ignoring him too—much to the chagrin of Chris Slattery, the founder of EMC Front Line Pregnancy Centers.

However, Slattery and other pro-life crusaders are encouraged by Stupak’s outspoken position on the bill. While many political and healthcare experts following this ugly dance on Capitol Hill were already expressing their doubts about the Senate bill passing in the House, Stupak came forward on Thursday morning to make it even more certain.

On ABC’s Good Morning America, he pronounced that he and eleven other pro-life Dems we’re “prepared to take responsibility” for casting decisive rejection votes if the bill did not include the previous Stupak-amendment language barring government healthcare coverage for abortions.

Meanwhile, after doing little to incorporate Republican ideals into the bill, Obama is likewise pushing forward without much of an ear for Stupak. Instead, he and his team continue strategizing ways to short-circuit the overwhelming opposition to his plan by trying more “horse-trading” tactics to buy votes (like the way they did to get over the Ben Nelson hurdle in the Senate) and by keeping a 50-plus-one reconciliation ploy in their collective back pocket.

For an impassioned perspective on the issue of this bill, the notion of healthcare coverage for abortions and the likelihood that Representative Stupak will ultimately score a victory for the pro-life citizen, call Special Guests right now to schedule an interview with Chris Slattery.

#10: SHINING INVESTMENT STAR IN A DOWN ECONOMY: Unique Stocks Speak Softly, Carry a Big ‘Stick’ (Guest in EST):There are not too many big surprises in an economy like the one plaguing the entire world right now—certainly not surprises with a big upside. Even the modest market rebound over the past year is very much in line with most economist projections.

But buried within that rebound is a rather remarkable investment portfolio program that is quietly blowing other strategies out of the water, and financial expert, Steve Selengut, is available for interviews to give your audience the intriguing lowdown.

At the core is an elite class of value funds known as Investment Grade Value Stocks that offer an element of excitement not often associated with the stereotypically boring “value” variety.

Just how exciting? Recent reports announce that the Investment Grade Value Stock Index (IGVSI) dramatically outperformed both the Dow and the S&P last year with an 84 percent stick. In fact, since the market bottom exactly one year ago in March 2009, the IGVSI rose 63 percent against the Dow’s 33 and the S&P’s 35 percent gains.

According to Selengut, what makes these funds so unique and quietly appealing is a series of criteria they meet that sets them apart from other value funds. While they offer the same kind of lower-price, lower-risk stability benefits of a value fund, they possess a financial viability dynamic that gives them an element of growth-stock potential…the perfect remedy for today’s investor frustrated with the market options available right now.

Call Special Guests to arrange an interview with Steve Selengut, and be prepared to explore a fascinating look inside the down economy’s hidden-gem investments.

ABOUT YOUR EXPERT GUEST, STEVE SELENGUT:

Professional investment portfolio manager. BA Business, Gettysburg College, MBA, Professional Management, Pace University, Paul Harris Fellow, Phi Gamma Delta, AAII member & speaker, Steve Selengut has been a private investment manager since 1979.

His life experience as an investor started in 1970, at age 25, when he was given the responsibility to manage a $60,000 portfolio. He developed an Asset Allocation Model then (decades before the concept became popular) that he still uses today, and a trading approach to investing that allowed him to start his own business at age 34.

During his twelve-year career in the Financial Services industry, Steve developed an appreciation of the complete Wall Street (political, social, and economic) environment. Using this understanding of the “playing field” (and a portfolio that provided all the income his family needed), he took his new investment ideas and concepts on the road.

Building an Investment Management business with no corporate sponsorship, no products to sell, and just two management clients was a daunting task. Fee-only personal investment management without mutual fund commissions or product sales was a revolutionary approach in 1979.

Steve has developed a loyal following of dedicated clients, many of whom have been with him for most of his career--- the two who helped start the business in 1979 remain as clients today. Many non-clients use his unique portfolio management methodology and a select few have been taking advantage of his mentoring services.

He has published hundreds of investment (and tax reform) articles, and three investment books. He invented the Working Capital Model, developed the IGVSI, and has introduced many new investment concepts, including: The Investor's Creed, Smart Cash, the QDI, Base Income, Securities Buckets, and others.

Investment Grade Value Stocks and High Quality Income securities are the only investments considered for use within the Working Capital Model (WCM). In 2008, this utterly boring combination produced surprising results compared with the DJIA, S & P 500, Morningstar's latest and greatest, Bill Miller's LMVTX, and the Buffett Berkshire “B.”

#11: AZ CONSERVATIVES GOING AFTER McCAIN: Gun-Rights Proponents Among Those Backing GOP Challenger (Larry Pratt is in EST):While many conservatives are gnashing their teeth over Sarah Palin’s loyalty endorsement of John McCain for reelection to the Senate this year—a statement that runs counter to her Tea-Party views—the cooler heads are going to forget all that and work on selling his challenger in the Arizona Republican primary.

Available for interviews is Larry Pratt, Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America (GOA), who is taking a leadership position in the crusade to elect former Arizona Republican Congressman, J.D. Hayworth.

As a guest on your show, Pratt can do more than dress down McCain’s political record that has proven to be a 2nd Amendment assault in sheep’s clothing. He can also explain the why and how regarding Hayworth’s potential value in Washington as a Senator.

Even more interestingly though, Pratt can elaborate on why a Hayworth victory would be essential in putting the Republican Party through a long-overdue frontal realignment.

Whether it is the history of incumbents easily winning their primaries that has led them astray from staying connected to their constituents, or it is the imperative of avoiding another RINO victory and eventual party defection like that of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, Pratt can explain why a Hayworth defeat of McCain would send a very timely message to Republican Senators everywhere.

Call Special Guests today to schedule an interview with Larry Pratt and prepare for a discussion that will further crystallize the grassroots reverb that is shaping one of the most intriguing election years in decades.

#12: BUNNING (AND AMERICA) BETRAYED! Harry Reid Reneges on Promise to Pay for $10 Billion Mandate (Guest in Eastern Time):The world waited and watched as Senator Jim Bunning and Harry Reid cut a deal to allow Bunning to unfreeze the $10 Billion to pay for government workers, unemployment, etc., in exchange for Reid’s promise to have an up-or-down vote on Bunning’s amendment to fully pay for the unemployment extension and other federal programs.

But before the political ink dried on the deal, Reid pulled a procedural cheat to betray Bunning and America.

Instead of honoring their end of the bargain, Majority Leader Reid and Senate Democrats used a procedural gimmick so they would not have to vote on Bunning’s pay-for amendment.

Once again, the only thing we seem to learn from history is that we don’t learn from history. A Zebra doesn’t often change his stripes.

Available for interviews on site (or later today after the rally or in the morning) is Ned Ryun, President of American Majority, an organization that has trained more than 5000 people in the political process of running for office.

Ned puts the matter of ethics into perspective with the question of: Whatever happened to sacred honor and that a man’s word is his bond? And what should be done is such cases of blatant betrayal?

NEWS RELEASE FROM SENATOR JIM BUNNING:

DEMOCRATS CONTINUE THE HYPOCRISY

WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 2, 2010)-- U.S. Senator Jim Bunning issued the following statement after Senate Democrats used a procedural gimmick to oppose the Bunning amendment that would have paid for the unemployment extension legislation and other federal programs.

“Democrats tonight showed their true colors by going back on their word on the agreement I had reached with Majority Leader Reid to have an up-or-down vote on my amendment to fully pay for the unemployment extension and other federal programs. Instead, Senate Democrats used a procedural gimmick so they would not have to vote on my pay-for amendment. What are they so afraid of?

“For too long Congresses controlled by both Republican and Democrat majorities have not done a good enough job of controlling the spending of the taxpayers’ money. My stand over the last couple of days was not against those Kentuckians who are on the unemployment line. I support the underlying legislation and support those who are out of work and need a helping hand. What I do not support is the hypocrisy displayed by Senate Democrats. Just over a month ago Democrats passed pay-go legislation and then turned around and waived it for the next two major pieces of legislation that were considered by the Senate. What was the point of passing pay-go legislation? If Democrats continue to ignore their own rules I will oppose future legislation that is not paid for.”


BLUEGRASSBULLETIN.COM/ March 2, 2010

BUNNING BETRAYED
By Marcus Carey, former Finance Director for Senator Jim Bunning

Folks, You Are NOT Going To Believe What Happened Tonight In The Senate.

First of all, I was reporting on the voting as it took place. I reported that Senator Bunning had reached an agreement with Harry Reid to bring the extension bill up for a vote, BUT, Jim insisted that there be some way to pay for it.

Harry muscled him pretty hard and after some very tough negotiations during which I'm told by reliable sources, that Jim got very little help from the other Republicans, nevertheless in the end he got Harry Reid to agree with him.

Jim had proposed that he get three votes. One on an amendment which would have paid for the extension of benefits out of the $400 BILLION in dormant stimulus money, OR, an amendment to pay for the bill out of other spending, OR an amendment to basically let the Democrats find the money to pay for the bill in any way they wanted, so long as it was paid for.

Reid pulled rank and told Jim NO to his first two proposals, but agreed to put up an amendment giving the democrats a chance to find the spending somewhere and a way to comply with "Pay as you Go". Jim agreed, withdrew his objection and the matter moved forward.

Then those ‘snakes in the grass’ pulled a parliamentary procedure and denied the amendment, despite Reid's promise, and reneged on their word. They tricked Bunning once again showing that they can't be trusted. The extension bill then moved to a vote with Jim's objection having been withdrawn, and passed 78-19.

Now here's the real kicker. As you have seen over the last few days a ton of scared little Republicans have been pressing Jim to cave in. But today Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and many others have been calling for the troops to rally around Jim Bunning. Today two of the three Republicans who want to succeed him rallied around Bunning in Lexington.

But through it all I kept wondering, "where is the leader of the GOP in the Senate, Kentucky's other senator, Mitch McConnell when Jim needed him?

As it turns out he was in his customary position, far enough from the battle field to keep from soiling his fancy uniform but always at the ready to gallop onto the field and claim victory should the mood of those he cared to impress seem worthy of his presence.

Here's how it came down. After Jim took a beating in the press standing tall for our country's financial security, after he found very few of his presumed colleagues in the Republican caucus standing with him, after America got a very clear picture of the differences between a principled Jim Bunning and the rest of the bunch (And "bunch" describes them very well because they couldn't have had less of a spine if they'd been carved out of bananas) the bill came up for a vote, without the "pay go" provisions Reid had promised, and it passed.

Now you might wonder, what weasels in the Senate voted for it. Wait until you hear this.

Fast forward to about the time when only 6 or so votes are left to be cast, and guess who was among them. You got it, Mitch McConnell. He waited until he knew his vote didn't count, until his colleague Jim Bunning had been crucified in the press, hoodwinked by the snakes in the majority, tricked by presumably honorable men and subjected to what we Northern Kentucky Boys know as "dirty pool" until he sideled up and cast his vote. Only then did Benedict McConnell vote AGAINST the bill.

They say you don't want to watch as they make legislation or sausage. But as for me, if they expect me to swallow the wretched thing, I want to see what goes into it and I have to admit that watching this one take shape makes me sick. In fact, I think it ought to make you sick too.

Elephants have long memories. America is watching. America is taking names, and come November we are planning to kick some of the biggest Democrats in Congress and the Senate, out of there.

If not now, when? If not us, who?

#13: CALLING OUT ISLAM: Why Would a ‘Devout Muslim’ Throw His Baby Off a Bridge? (Guest is in Eastern Time):When a 21-year-old New Jersey man named Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem (pictured) abducts his own three-month-old daughter from her maternal grandmother then, after being arrested, tells police that he threw his baby girl off of a bridge into the icy river below, most people would be shocked . . .

. . . unless you’re someone who has studied Islam for years, like Pastor Bill Keller, the world’s leading Internet evangelist and founder of LivePrayer.com, who wasn’t surprised at all to hear Abdur-Raheem’s father describe his boy as a “devout Muslim.”

Keller, in a broadcast response e-mail to his online church subscribers, wrote, “While Muslims like to claim they are a religion of love and peace, their teachings and actions over (these) 1,400 years continually prove they are about hatred and death.”

In this New Jersey tragedy’s back-story, the mother of the child had full custody after refusing to marry Abdur-Raheem and was literally inside a courthouse acquiring a restraining order against him at the time of the abduction.

So, what’s the connection to Islam? Keller and other experts say it’s about honor killing—the same kind that led a Muslim man in Buffalo to behead his wife last year, after she wanted a divorce. The same kind that inspired a Muslim man in Peoria, Arizona, last November to run over his daughter with his car because she was becoming “too Westernized.” The same kind that caused a 17-year-old girl to run away from home last July for fear of dying at the hands of her father after she converted to Christianity.

And the “shocking” news stories seem to go on. Meanwhile, Keller goes on too, arguing strongly that none of these are isolated incidents.

“Of course there will be Muslim apologists who say that these are only the extremists,” Keller writes, “just like they try to distance themselves from their brothers . . . who flew the planes into the World Trade Center . . . Do you remember a few years ago when there was a cartoon in a Dutch newspaper depicting Muhammed with a bomb in his headdress? There were riots and people were actually killed over a CARTOON! Remember a year or so ago when Pope Benedict simply shared the historical fact that Islam was spread by violence and death and the Catholic churches that were burned down and the nuns killed by Muslims protesting his statements?”

As a guest on your show, Keller can elaborate on his knowledge of Islam and his understanding of the motivations driving religious Muslims like of Abdur-Raheem.

Further, he’s prepared to go after those in society—and even his peers in the Christian community—who bow to political correctness, or worse, are forming alliances with questionable Islamic leaders inside America. Call Special Guests today.

#14: JIM BUNNING YIELDS AFTER SENATE FUNDS $10 BILLION PREVIOUSLY UNFUNDED MANDATE (Guest in Central Time):Jim Bunning finally yielded and agreed to let the U. S. Senate pass the 'emergency' $10 Billion measure to allow government funds to pay for unemployment paychecks and other services for another 30 days.

Senator Jim Bunning had been the lone nay voter in the U.S. Senate, which prompted a picket and rally in front of his offices in Lexington, Kentucky.

So, just what was so important about this particular spending bill? Why did Jim Bunning 'fall on a sword for this particular bill that made him a pariah among his peers?

Available for interviews on this topic is Marcus Carey, former vice chairman of the Republican Party of Kentucky. Carey is the former finance chairman for Senator Bunning.

During your interview, Marcus will attempt to defend Bunning’s lone action as being patriotic.

Marcus explains how the Benefits Extension Bill was supposed to be a ‘done deal’ and adopted by unanimous consent but Jim Bunning (R-Kentucky) was the only U.S. Senator voting against passing that Bill by unanimous decree.

The implications are astounding. This meant that the 30-day extension of unemployment benefits, health care benefits for the unemployed (Cobra), highway and transit programs, the compulsory copyright license used by satellite TV providers and the federal flood insurance program ALL MAY WOULD COME TO A SCREECHING HALT! Why? Because some of the programs -- including unemployment benefits and Cobra – expired Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010 at midnight, unless an emergency band aid extension was applied.

Democrats had proposed a $10 billion band aid fix while they work on a bigger year-long extension they plan on passing in the next couple of weeks. (See Time Magazine’s blog on this below.)

During your interview with Marcus, he explains how and why the unanimous motion procedure backfired. Typically it is a way to quickly slam dunk a popular bill through but it can backfire if a single Senator dares to swim upstream, bucking the trend, willing to take the heat. Marcus, who lives in Kentucky has unique insight into the mind of Jim Bunning.

How so? Marcus is not only Senator Bunning’s former finance chairman but he is also the former Vice Chairman of The Republican Party of Kentucky. As a conservative writer and blogger with over 40 years experience running political campaigns, as well as having spent 30 years as a lawyer, Marcus Carey clearly puts for the legal and political ramifications of the hold out vote.

Marcus Carey is increasingly being called upon and quoted for his insights and unique political perspective. Clearly, Carey is today’s quickly rising ‘go to’ political expert, perhaps for getting nuggets like these quotes from Senator Bunning’s office: “When 100 Senators are for a Bill and we can’t find $10 Billion to pay for it there is something seriously the matter with this body,” and, “If all 100 members of the U.S. Senate are for a Bill and they can’t find a way to pay for it, they’ll never pay for anything.”

If any of your listeners ask, “Where would Senator Bunning have gotten such a notion to declare potential financial suicide for the U.S. government? Ask Senator Bunning’s former finance chairman Marcus Carey during your interview!

Bunning Hijacks the Senate
By Jay Newton-Small

I didn't think it was possible for Senator Jim Bunning, a Kentucky Republican, to get more unpopular with his colleagues: he was forced, feet dragging, to announce he wouldn't run for reelection after fellow Kentuckian and minority leader Mitch McConnell wouldn't even endorse him. But tonight, he is pariah to a whole new level. Before heading home for the weekend, the Senate is trying to wrap up a 30-day extension of unemployment benefits, health care benefits for the unemployed (Cobra), highway and transit programs, the compulsory copyright license used by satellite TV providers and the federal flood insurance program. Some of the programs -- including unemployment benefits and Cobra -- expire on Sunday unless something is done and Dems are proposing a $10 billion bandaid fix while they work on a bigger year-long extension they aim to pass in the next couple of weeks.

Bunning, though, is objecting, as is the privilege of any senator. He says he'll allow the bill to go through tonight if money from the stimulus is used to pay for the bill, rather than passing it unfunded. “What I have proposed is a pay-for. My gosh, we've got over $400 billion in unspent stimulus money,” Bunning said on the Senate floor. “I'll be here as long as you're here and as long as all those other senators are here and I'm going to object every time because you won't pay for this and you propose to never pay for it.”

Democrats reacted with outraged press releases. “We are in a serious recession; millions of Americans are out of work,” said Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat. “People have depleted their savings; they run the risk of losing their homes; they're trying to keep their children in school and trying to provide the necessities of life for their families. And it is simply unfair for one senator to attempt to hold the Senate hostage on this issue.”

Bunning has a point: for Dems who wax poetic about Paygo and reducing the deficit it's hypocritical to then turn around an pass bill after unfunded bill (only $5 billion of the $15 billion jobs bill that passed earlier this week was paid for). At the same time, I don't envy Bunning: standing between a senator and the airport at the end of the legislative week is a dangerous place to be. If Bunning can't be convinced to drop his objection, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will have to file for cloture to proceed, which means 30 hours of debate which pretty much ensures the entire Senate will be here through much of the weekend.

#15: TEA PARTY SPILLING OVER: Wildfire Movement Against Status Quo Takes New Twist (Guest in Eastern time):Just when it would seem that the defining-moment message of discontent has been sent to the standing government for its irresponsible spending and blinders-on leadership, another story pops up.

It’s arguable that such a message first came when John McCain saw a significant bounce following his unveiling of Sarah Palin as his running mate a year and a half ago. Then, Scott Brown pulls the Senate-seat upset in Massachusetts. Then, Texas Congressman Ron Paul—a Republican-registered libertarian—wins the straw poll at the CPAC convention.

But now the grassroots wildfire is growing in new directions.

As your audience looks for clarity inside the excitement of this spontaneous and suddenly powerful movement, few can stand as a better authority than Ned Ryun, President of the American Majority, which is turning this neo-movement into something real at the polls.

Ned is the son of a former U.S. Congressman Jim Ryun and was a speechwriter for President George W. Bush. Today, at the forefront of his organization, Ned has trained more than 5,000 political candidates to run for office, most standing high on the platform of Tea-Party ideals.

With the likes of Ned backing this new generation of politicians, the movement is taking root where, perhaps, it matters most—at the local level—in places like Dallas where primaries are being impacted and voter turnout is higher than ever. And in Detroit, where Tea Party voters are affecting metro and state referendum outcomes.

But maybe the latest statement of change against the government status quo? In England, of all places, where politician Daniel Hannan is picking up America’s Tea Party torch and waving it on the floor in Parliament.

How far will this movement really go? Call Special Guests to get a very astute commentary on the “government by the people” revival happening all across the country and now, apparently, around the world too. For virtually any political issue today, Ned Ryun is truly the go-to voice.

ABOUT YOUR EXPERT GUEST, NED RYUN:

A former presidential writer for George W. Bush and son of former U.S. Congressman Jim Ryun, Ned Ryun is currently the President of American Majority, a national organization committed to identifying and training liberty‐minded leaders. Ned was the co‐founder and former director of the Generation Joshua program.

Ned earned degrees in English and History from the University of Kansas and has co‐authored Heroes Among Us and The Courage to Run with his father and his twin brother, Drew. Ned and his wife, Becca, reside in Northern Virginia with their sons, Nathaniel and James and their daughter, Charlotte “Lottie.”

When asked which Founding Father he relates to most with, and why, Ryun answered, “Roger Sherman. I am fascinated by a man who is not well known, but who signed the Articles of Confederation, helped draft and then signed the Declaration of Independence, and then also signed the Constitution and was a member of the First Congress, sitting on the committee that helped draft the Bill of Rights. He had a tremendous impact on the founding of this country.”

ABOUT THE AMERICAN MAJORITY

At American Majority, we believe that real political change begins at the local level. It is going to take engaged citizens working together in their communities to effectively implement freedom on a national level. We believe that individual liberty will only be achieved through limited government and free markets and that by training candidates and activists to be effective towards those goals today, we will enhance tomorrow.

American Majority is a national non-profit, non-partisan political training institute whose mission is to train and equip a national network of leaders committed to individual freedom through limited government and the free market. Headquartered in Purcellville, Virginia, we currently have state offices in Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Texas, with plans to open additional state offices in 2010.

Our organizational philosophy remains centered around the grassroots. We work hard to ensure our premier training programs are accessible to activists and candidates around the country.

#16: PIVOTAL SUPREME COURT CASE: Gun-Rights Ruling in Chicago Would Impact the Nation (Guest in Eastern time):This week, the Supreme Court will hear McDonald vs. Chicago, a potential landmark case that is poised to set a major precedent in the ongoing battle to establish gun rights in the United States.

On trial is a 27-year-old Chicago gun-ban law that attorneys representing four Chicago residents (including Otis McDonald, pictured), the Second Amendment Foundation and the Illinois State Rifle Association say is un-Constitutional for its violation of residents’ 2nd Amendment rights.

Available for interviews to look deeper into the case, project on its outcome and explore its enormous impact—whichever way it may swing—is Larry Pratt, the Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America, and a virtual political and legislative encyclopedia on these issues.

The dynamics of the case are fascinating beyond just the rights of the four citizens bringing forth the case.

In 2008, District of Columbia vs. Heller was a similar case put before the Supreme Court related to a gun ban in the nation’s capital. The Court ruled that a D.C. law could not override an individual’s 2nd Amendment right to own a firearm for protection.

However, being that D.C. is a federal government enclave, and not a city or state jurisdiction unto itself, the Court never addressed whether or not the 2nd Amendment likewise could block any city or state’s local gun ban.

Enter McDonald vs. Chicago—which will force the suspenseful answer to this question and serve as a serious game changer in a longstanding Bill-of -Rights battle that is among the most contentious in the nation’s history.

Call Special Guests today to invite Larry Pratt on your show. Find out the incredible implications of the case and how some fear that even a gun-rights victory like the one in Heller—as most legal analysts expect—may not stop antigun groups from being creative.

#17: FORMER MUSLIM TERRORIST TO PRAY OVER TROOPS: Convert From Islam to Christianity to be Keynote Speaker at Prayer Service in Virginia Beach:On March 3rd, former Muslim terrorist Walid Shoebat, a convert to Christianity, will be the keynote speaker at the Calvary Assembly of God Church, offering his prayers and support for troops being deployed overseas sometime in March. Also scheduled to appear with Walid is Virginia Beach TV personality Ben Kinchlow, former cohost of The 700 Club with Pat Robertson.

Since being converted in 1993 after Walid's Christian wife challenged him to read the Bible, he has been on a mission to spread to spread the Christian message via speaking engagements, authoring books, and various media interviews.

Now Walid is lending his voice to prayer for America's troops in a war it has been increasingly difficult for them to fight. Shoebat knows the enemy they are fighting because he used to belong to it. Today, he is an unadulterated Christian and unwilling to compromise that faith.

ABOUT WALID SHOEBAT…

Born in Bethlehem, Walid's grandfather was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem (The Shepherd's Fields) and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler.

As a young man, he became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel, and was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel.

After his release, he continued his life of violence and rioting in Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities.

In 1993, Walid studied the Bible to challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, he realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.

Driven by a deep passion to heal his own soul, and to bring the truth about the Jews, Israel and the threat of fundamentalist Islam to the world, Walid shed his former life and his work as a software engineer and set out to tirelessly bring the cause against the evil of Islamic Fundamentalist to tens of millions of people throughout the world: churches, synagogues, civic groups, government leaders and media.

Walid is the author of several bestselling books including “Why I Left Jihad,” “Why We Want To Kill You” and “God’s War on Terror.” Walid is an American citizen and lives in the USA with his wife and children, under this assumed name. Walid has spoken all over America and the world including Chile, Mexico, Canada, UK, and South Africa. He has appeared on national television also all over the world including CNN, CNN International, FOX News, ITN, RTE, NBC, CBS, The 700, ABC and ABC Australia. He has also been featured on BBC radio 4, 5 and the largest radio audience on the BBC World Service reaching 180 million people.

Walid has the unique insight so as people can now fully understand the issue of terrorism from the perspective of someone who was once a terrorist. Walid Shoebat has given lectures at Harvard Law School and Columbia University, and has also spoken at Oxford University UK, National Constitution Center, Capitol Hill, UCLA, USC, University of Georgia, Washington University, Penn State, and San Diego State University.

#18: STUBBORN MEDICINE: After Lame-Duck Healthcare Summit, Dems to Press On (Guest in Central Time):Imagine if your doctor kept prescribing a medication that upset your stomach something fierce. And when you finally had a chance to catch him in his ivory tower long enough to plead for a different solution, he just covered his ears and yelled, “La la la la la!”

For those increasingly frustrated with the leftists’ push for ObamaCare, this is a rather accurate analogy of last week’s so-called bipartisanship summit. After all, most witnessed a very cantankerous President who seemed annoyed with anyone willing to question the plan already welded together by Harry Reid and the Democrat-controlled Senate.

And yet, analysts see a bill even worse than the one Reid put on the table before Christmas—one featuring more new taxes, more Constitutionally questionable government mandates, more kickbacks concocted to buy votes and all under a cost estimate too cloudy even for the Congressional Budget Office to confirm.

So, Americans continue to pound the table in outrage, and the President continues to tell them to pound sand instead. Meanwhile, James Lansberry, vice president of Samaritan Ministries, a successful free-market healthcare-coverage alternative, says it’s all likely a moot point in 2010.

“Absolutely, the President’s latest reform outline is very similar in cost and reach to the bill passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve,” says Lansberry. But, fortunately, he adds, for those unhappy with this persistent legislation, “it fails on two counts. First, it does not have language preventing the public funding of abortion, which will make it nearly impossible to get the Stupak Democrats on board in the House. Second, it is too little leadership too late. The November elections are coming quickly and there is not enough time or political will to restart the clocks for reform efforts in an election year.”

For a deeper look inside the ever-expanding ObamaCare bill, a Monday-morning quarterback assessment of the summit and, most importantly, a solutions-oriented prescription for a real bipartisan healthcare reform effort, few can provide an insight like James Lansberry.

“The President would be better served to look for small reforms right now, such as changing the preferential tax treatment of employer-provided insurance that will lead to a long-term patient empowerment, thus keeping the insurers honest through a direct relationship to the patient.” Find out more from Lansberry. Call Special Guests today.


ABOUT JAMES LANSBERRY…

James Lansberry, president of the Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries, is a Peoria-based expert available to comment on a variety of issues related to health care, including alternatives to traditional health insurance, the economics of health care, health care public policy, health care and tax policy, and the health care industry in general. Lansberry also is vice president of Peoria-based Samaritan Ministries International. His articles have been published in Heritage Forum, the Journal of Modern Ministry and he has been interviewed by the CBS Evening News, U.S. News and World Report and the Washington Post.

#19: DRAMATIC DISASTERS, DRAMATIC SOLUTIONS: Recovery From Chile Quake May Take a Page From Haiti:Some might look at last week’s shocking earthquake in Chile, occurring so soon after the equally unmerciful quake in Haiti, as some kind of angry sign from a higher power.

But individuals like John Sabia, CFO of Medical Infusion Technologies (MIT), look at it as an opportunity for human beings to shine. In addition to being MIT’s CFO, John is also the project director for the company’s remarkable new innovation, ProVector, that stands to save thousands of lives in Haiti’s crippling aftermath.

With their infrastructure so badly damaged, one of the prevailing threats to Haitians is a rise in infectious disease as a result of a number of factors—not the least of which is a spike in its already relatively high rate of malaria and dengue fever spread by mosquitoes.

MIT’s ProVector biopesticide, however, could be a savior for its creative ability to attract and kill adult mosquitoes. The beauty of the invention is its application in the form of a plastic flower that—unlike nets placed over sleeping quarters—can protect an entire family inside a dwelling unit 24 hours a day, without introducing the agent into the environment.

Last month, MIT sent 1,500 ProVectors to Haiti and hundreds more to the villages in the Dominican Republican near the Haitian Border. Now, as the world lends a hand to Chile, tracking the success of ProVector in the Caribbean takes on even greater importance.

For more information about the technology, its invaluable uses in the world today and other advances in the works at MIT, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with John Sabia today.

 
ABOUT YOUR GUEST, JOHN SABIA:

John is a retired police officer with 23 years law-enforcement experience, including 11 years as a supervisor and SWAT Team Leader with the City of Hialeah in Dade County, Florida. He moved to Savannah, Georgia, and entered into ministry work at The Sanctuary of Savannah for five years as director of their homeless mission, and an additional five years as the church administrator. In 2006, he began work at Medical Infusion Technologies and MIT Ambulatory Care Center as the companies’ controller. In 2007, John was named the CFO of MIT Holding, Inc., a publically traded company and parent company of the Infusion and the Ambulatory Care Center. He was then appointed Project Director for MIT’s acquired rights to a new product—ProVectorTM—a biopesticide designed to attract and kill mature mosquitoes. John’s educational background includes an associates’ degree in pre-law, a bachelor’s in criminal justice and a masters of science degree in public administration. John’s hobbies include music, playing drums, snow skiing and firearms shooting.

#20: $10 BIL. BENEFITS BILL FROZEN BY LONE SENATOR! Jim Bunning Breaks Rank and Stands Firm, Becoming Pariah! (Eastern Time):WASHINGTON, DC (Feb. 26, 2010)-- Today a motion was made in the U.S. Senate that the Benefits Extension Bill be adopted by unanimous consent. But Jim Bunning (R-Kentucky) is the only U.S. Senator voting against passing the Benefits Extensions Bill by unanimous decree.

The implications are astounding. This means that the 30-day extension of unemployment benefits, health care benefits for the unemployed (Cobra), highway and transit programs, the compulsory copyright license used by satellite TV providers and the federal flood insurance program ALL MAY COME TO A SCREECHING HALT! Why? Because some of the programs -- including unemployment benefits and Cobra – expire Sunday, Feb. 28, 2010, unless something is done! Democrats had proposed a $10 billion band aid fix while they work on a bigger year-long extension they plan on passing in the next couple of weeks. (See Time Magazine’s blog on this below.)

Senator Jim Bunning's finance chairman, Marcus Carey, is available for Talk Show interviews on this topic. During your interview with Marcus, he explains the unanimous motion procedure that backfired. Typically it is a way to quickly slam dunk a popular bill through but it can backfire if a single Senator dares to swim upstream, bucking the trend, willing to take the heat. Marcus, who lives in Kentucky has unique insight into the mind of Jim Bunning.

Who so? Marcus is not only Senator Bunning’s former finance chairman but he is also the former Vice Chairman of The Republican Party of Kentucky. As a conservative writer and blogger with over 40 years experience running political campaigns, as well as having spent 30 years as a lawyer, Marcus Carey clearly puts for the legal and political ramifications of the hold out vote.

Marcus Carey is increasingly being called upon and quoted for his insights and unique political perspective. Clearly, Carey is today’s quickly rising ‘go to’ political expert, perhaps for getting nuggets like these quotes from Senator Bunning’s office: “When 100 Senators are for a Bill and we can’t find $10 Billion to pay for it there is something seriously the matter with this body,” and, “If all 100 members of the U.S. Senate are for a Bill and they can’t find a way to pay for it, they’ll never pay for anything.”

If any of your listeners ask, “Where would Senator Bunning have gotten such a notion to declare potential financial suicide for the U.S. government? Ask Senator Bunning’s former finance chairman Marcus Carey during your interview!

Bunning Hijacks the Senate
By Jay Newton-Small

I didn't think it was possible for Senator Jim Bunning, a Kentucky Republican, to get more unpopular with his colleagues: he was forced, feet dragging, to announce he wouldn't run for reelection after fellow Kentuckian and minority leader Mitch McConnell wouldn't even endorse him. But tonight, he is pariah to a whole new level. Before heading home for the weekend, the Senate is trying to wrap up a 30-day extension of unemployment benefits, health care benefits for the unemployed (Cobra), highway and transit programs, the compulsory copyright license used by satellite TV providers and the federal flood insurance program. Some of the programs -- including unemployment benefits and Cobra -- expire on Sunday unless something is done and Dems are proposing a $10 billion bandaid fix while they work on a bigger year-long extension they aim to pass in the next couple of weeks.

Bunning, though, is objecting, as is the privilege of any senator. He says he'll allow the bill to go through tonight if money from the stimulus is used to pay for the bill, rather than passing it unfunded. “What I have proposed is a pay-for. My gosh, we've got over $400 billion in unspent stimulus money,” Bunning said on the Senate floor. “I'll be here as long as you're here and as long as all those other senators are here and I'm going to object every time because you won't pay for this and you propose to never pay for it.”

Democrats reacted with outraged press releases. “We are in a serious recession; millions of Americans are out of work,” said Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat. “People have depleted their savings; they run the risk of losing their homes; they're trying to keep their children in school and trying to provide the necessities of life for their families. And it is simply unfair for one senator to attempt to hold the Senate hostage on this issue.”

Bunning has a point: for Dems who wax poetic about Paygo and reducing the deficit it's hypocritical to then turn around an pass bill after unfunded bill (only $5 billion of the $15 billion jobs bill that passed earlier this week was paid for). At the same time, I don't envy Bunning: standing between a senator and the airport at the end of the legislative week is a dangerous place to be. If Bunning can't be convinced to drop his objection, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will have to file for cloture to proceed, which means 30 hours of debate which pretty much ensures the entire Senate will be here through much of the weekend.

#21: 1000 ARCHITECTS/ENGINEERS WANT GRAND JURY HEARING: How did 200,000 tons of Steel Disintegrate & Drop in 11 Secs. on 9-11?:Why is the single most popular article published by The Washington Times, “Explosive News,” a story about the 9/11 conspiracy theory? The article discusses the possibility that internal explosions brought down the Twin Towers and the 47-story structure known as Building 7 that never even got hit by airplanes.

Perhaps that article is gaining momentum because 1000 highly architects and engineers have finally stepped forward and attached their names to a document opining that it is IMPOSSIBLE for Building 7 to have come down from mere residual heat and debris and most likely taken down by sophisticated internal explosives.

And if the 7 World Trade Center building came down that way albeit covered up, then what might the truth be about the World Trade Center buildings?

Oh, did we say, 'truth'? But 'truth's is the new four letter word. And the derogative term 'Truthers' refers to those who dare ask for Obama to produce his original birth certificate and the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ refers to people who are ‘wacko’ enough to think that heat and debris couldn’t have taken down a 47 story tower while other nearby buildings were relatively unscathed. Apparently it is no big deal for a 47-story building to fall down on its own accord, perhaps in solidarity with its twin big brothers.

The Washington Times reported, "How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center." They claim that advanced explosive nano-thermitic composite material was found in the World Trade Center rubble!

But wait, there's more! The article went on to say, "In order to bring down this kind of mass in such a short period of time, the material must have been artificially, exploded outwards, says Richard Gage, a San Francisco architect and founder of the nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth."

Conducting Talk Show interviews on this topic is Bob Chapman, editor of The International Forecaster, who stated, “9/11 continues to haunt us. The lies by government and bureaucrats in and outside of government are legend. We ask how can a thousand architects and engineers be wrong? The report of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the national Institute of Standards and Technology are a fraud. What we need is a Grand Jury. We sat and watched the controlled demolition on 9/11 and from that moment on we knew it was a false flag operation. The government and those who control government from behind the scenes are seriously talking about calling people terrorists who challenge the 9/11 report. This is part of the reason why 81% of Americans say the system was broken.”

Also available for interviews on this topic is Bob Rinear, publisher of The Main Street Market Report, who stated, "I find it extremely telling that well over 1000 highly regarded engineers have refuted the Governments findings on how the buildings collapsed, and instead of listening intently and opening investigations they are branded as anti-government whacko's. Not only is it impossible for those buildings to have fallen simply via the two airplanes, we are further led to believe that a band of nomads living in caves outsmarted the entire US defense department, NORAD, the CIA, and 16 other departments. I couldn't make up a story that outlandish, yet we are told this is the truth. How absurd."

ROBERT J. CHAPMAN BIOGRAPHY:

Mr. Chapman is 73 years old. He was born in Boston, MA, and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, one year in Canada and another year in the Bahamas.

Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.

From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.

Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.

Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.

In 1976, after the Soweto riots, Mr. Chapman began buying North American shares exclusively for his clients. Up to that point only a handful of American and Canadian issues interested him, due to the high dividends the South African shares had paid out over the years. Between 1976 and 1988 his business surged from 1,000 to 6,000 clients, so the bulk of his business ended up being Vancouver Stock Exchange issues. For this reason he is very conversant with the quality of management, geologists, properties and traders on today’s North American scene. He is well known.

From 1976 to present he has spoken and given workshops at over 200 business conferences worldwide, and has been on radio and TV thousands of times. Until his retirement he was always judged by the attendees to be one of the top three speakers and never once was lower than first in workshops due to his vast knowledge of the mining business and his grasp of worldwide financial markets and political scenes.

In June of 1991, at the request of business associates, and due to retirement boredom, he began writing the International Forecaster.

Over the past 40 years, Bob Chapman has immersed himself in the study of world politics and economics. His articles have run in more than 200 publications. His newsletter, "THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER,” has active subscribers all across world. Bob Chapman has conducted hundreds of workshops at business conferences and has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and television programs.

Some of his uncanny predictions include:

* Called the top of the market in April 2000.
* Predicted 9/11 or an event like that, nine months early, within 33 days of it actually occurring.
* Predicted the invasion of both Afghanistan and Iraq two years before they happened.


ABOUT ROBERT (BOB) RINEAR (pronounced reh-NEAR):

The Main Street Market Report was founded in October 1997 by Robert Rinear, who owned several successful business ventures primarily in the jewelry industry. In fact, his introduction to the financial world began as the result of his experience timing the price of tangible assets, including gemstones, gold and silver, all on a daily basis—a talent critically needed to be successful in the jewelry industry.

As Bob Rinear saw the price of gold soaring in the late 1980s, he needed to find the causes of that move. What he found was intriguing. Political issues, global economics and even something as simple as the industrial output in Japan would move the price of tangible assets. He needed to learn more.

As he became more “in tune” with the global economic process, he noticed that one of his best customers traded stocks and options on a daily basis. With Mr. Rinear’s views on the overall economic situation and “Charley’s” ability in picking stocks, they found a winning combination. But it still wasn't complete.

Once introduced to the intricacies of the equity markets, it didn’t take Mr. Rinear long to realize that he had a knack for predicting the everyday flows of the stock and options markets. He began to attend trading seminars and training camps with the desire to learn how to make profitable trades on a daily basis.

One thing became abundantly clear—none of the classes gave him the total picture about how to accomplish his goal. Something was still missing in regards to how to make a living by trading stocks and options. Likewise, he realized that not all opportunities came in just stocks and options. Sometimes it was a quick move in precious metals or Treasury bonds. Other times it may have been a move in a currency.

Not to be defeated, Mr. Rinear slowly developed his own trading style that began to produce profits. After taking what he learned from the seminars and injecting his own methods of calculating stock movements, options movements, currency, real estate and Treasury movements, a successful concept emerged. He expanded this trading concept into a workable platform that anyone could follow. That was the beginning of his newsletter “Market Insight & Outlook” (now the Financial Intelligence Report). From those first few issues it became clear that the public would benefit from his years of research. He decided to offer it to the masses.

From that humble beginning a company called “InvestYourself” was created. Its main goal is to help investors of every experience level gain the investing knowledge necessary to win in a tough game that includes enabling investors to grow in their knowledge of real estate, stocks, bonds and finances in general.

INSIDE THE BELTWAY
By Jennifer Harper

EXPLOSIVE NEWS

A lingering technical question about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications: How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds? A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 at the World Trade Center.

"In order to bring down this kind of mass in such a short period of time, the material must have been artificially, exploded outwards," says Richard Gage, a San Francisco architect and founder of the nonprofit Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

Mr. Gage, who is a member of the American Institute of Architects, managed to persuade more than 1,000 of his peers to sign a new petition requesting a formal inquiry.

"The official Federal Emergency Management [Agency] and National Institute of Standards and Technology reports provide insufficient, contradictory and fraudulent accounts of the circumstances of the towers' destruction. We are therefore calling for a grand jury investigation of NIST officials," Mr. Gage adds.

The technical issues surrounding the collapse of the towers has prompted years of debate, rebuttal and ridicule.

He is particularly disturbed by Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper, which was not hit by an aircraft, yet came down in "pure free-fall acceleration." He also says that more than 100 first-responders reported explosions and flashes as the towers were falling and cited evidence of "multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally 600 ft. at 60 mph" and the "mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking."

There is also evidence of "advanced explosive nano-thermitic composite material found in the World Trade Center dust," Mr. Gage says. The group's petition at www. ae911truth.org is already on its way to members of Congress.

"Government officials will be notified that 'Misprision of Treason,' U.S. Code 18 (Sec. 2382), is a serious federal offense, which requires those with evidence of treason to act," Mr. Gage says. "The implications are enormous and may have profound impact on the forthcoming Khalid Shaikh Mohammed trial."

JUST SO YOU KNOW

It's done broke. But given enough duct tape, Gorilla Glue and a few safety pins, we'll get by, perhaps.

Only 5 percent of Americans say our system of government is "broken and cannot be fixed," according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey of 1,023 adults released Sunday. The vast majority - 81 percent - say, yes, it's broken "but can be fixed." An optimistic 14 percent insist the government "isn't broken."

Some don't buy any of it, though.

"With metronomic regularity, we go through these moments in Washington where we complain about the government being broken. These moments have one thing in common: The left is having trouble enacting its agenda," George Will told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "No one, when George W. Bush had trouble reforming Social Security, said, 'Oh, that's terrible - the government's broken.' "

THINK ABOUT IT

"For years, we have had information stands about the war commanders. But the supreme commander was missing. We need to remember the man who led our country in the war."

- Vladimir Makarov, chief of Moscow's advertising and information committee, on his decision to decorate the city with posters of Josef Stalin on May 9, which Russia marks as the 65th anniversary of the Soviet defeat of Nazi Germany during World War II.

WHAT WORKS

Political operatives should remember that people still crave viable, timely content and friendly community that has not been sullied by technology's bells and whistles. Witness conservative goddess Michelle Malkin, who has sold Hotair.com - a spirited political blog she founded in 2006 - to Salem Communications, which syndicates such talk-radio heavyweights as Bill Bennett, Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved, among other things.

Mrs. Malkin has emerged from her experience with insight about communications in the often chaotic media/political/ideological realm. For one thing, the "clean, simple, user-friendly format" has stayed the same, she says in a farewell message. And the answer to attracting a loyal audience did not lie in a burdensome multiplatform extravaganza, either.

"To survive, we needed to adapt, respond to market forces, and adjust the business focus to meet readers' revealed preferences. Like the teleprompter reader-in-chief always says, 'Change is never easy.' I made the decision to redirect our resources away from original video reluctantly," Mrs. Malkin says.

"But we looked at the metrics, we looked at the bottom line, and we listened to you. You wanted a 24/7, up-to-the-minute, one-stop, all-purpose conservative blog and aggregator. You wanted an Internet water cooler to hang out with your friends - a place where you could find all the political coverage you needed, but also a place where you could get comic relief, humpbot videos, the latest 'Duuudes' and 'Hmmms' and 'Heart-aches,' and off-beat stories of the day."

#22: OBAMA MAKES UNILATTERAL $500 BILLION POWER GRAB: Largest Fascist Business Takeover in US History! (Guest in Mountain Time):Obama plans to use the U.S. government's enormous buying power to 'encourage' (force) private companies to 'help' (conform to Fascist State standards) them do business with government according to Obama's unilateral whims.

Under the Obama plan, any of the nonconforming businesses currently doing a half trillion dollars with the U.S. government would be DISQUALIFIED from being a U.S. vendor anymore, a.k.a. possibly go bankrupt! (See New York Times article below.

And just what are the prerequisites to being 'allowed' to stay in business? They would have to comply to Obama's arbitrary standards regarding each company's environmental and health plans and their level of wages and benefits offered to their employees.

How on earth can Obama get away with this? New draconian, overreaching rules for a half trillion dollars in government contract business? With no vote of Congress?

Since about 25% of all U.S. workers are employed by companies that have contracts with the federal government, American business is now on its knees before 'king' Obama whose administration officials see their plan as a way to remake current U.S. business into the image of their social policies! Where's the vote? Where's Congress? Where's the Supreme Court? Where are the checks and balances with what appears to be the largest Fascist business takeover in U.S. history?

Conducting Talk Show interviews on this outrage is former Congressman Bob Beauprez who says of the new Obama business takeover, "Karl Marx would be very proud of the enormous power grab and abuse of government power to bring the private sector to its knees. Just when I think the Obama Administration can't possibly come up with yet another egregious idea, they go and surprise me."

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:

Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it.

He was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950s.

The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught Bob a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.

During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.

The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.

Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.

While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.

While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.

In 2006, Bob Beauprez was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.

Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).

Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.

Plan to Seek Use of U.S. Contracts as a Wage Lever
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE

The Obama administration is planning to use the government’s enormous buying power to prod private companies to improve wages and benefits for millions of workers, according to White House officials and several interest groups briefed on the plan.

By altering how it awards $500 billion in contracts each year, the government would disqualify more companies with labor, environmental or other violations and give an edge to companies that offer better levels of pay, health coverage, pensions and other benefits, the officials said.

Because nearly one in four workers is employed by companies that have contracts with the federal government, administration officials see the plan as a way to shape social policy and lift more families into the middle class. It would affect contracts like those awarded to make Army uniforms, clean federal buildings and mow lawns at military bases.

Although the details are still being worked out, the outline of the plan is drawing fierce opposition from business groups and Republican lawmakers. They see it as a gift to organized labor and say it would drive up costs for the government in the face of a $1.3 trillion budget deficit.

“I’m suspicious of what the end goals are,” said Ben Brubeck, director of labor and federal procurement for Associated Builders and Contractors, which represents 25,000 construction-related companies. “It’s pretty clear the agenda is to give big labor an advantage in federal contracts.”

Critics also said the policy would put small businesses, many of which do not provide rich benefits, at a disadvantage. Furthermore, government officials would find it difficult to evaluate bidders using the new criteria and to determine whether one company’s compensation package should give it an edge, said Alan L. Chvotkin, executive vice president of the Professional Services Council, a coalition of 340 government contractors.

From his earliest days in office, President Obama has called for an overhaul of government procurement policy, citing the contracting scandals of the previous decade involving cost overruns and no-bid contracts.

“The president made it clear that he is committed to reforming government contracts to save taxpayers money while protecting workers and the environment,” a White House spokesman, Bill Burton, said. “The administration is currently gathering data and examining the best ways to do this.”

Two of Mr. Obama’s allies — John Podesta, the Clinton administration chief of staff who headed the president’s transition team, and Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union — have repeatedly pressed the president to use procurement policy to push up wages and benefits.

In testimony last year to the Office of Management and Budget, Mr. Podesta said that 400,000 workers employed under federal contracts — like cafeteria workers, security guards and landscaping workers at federal buildings — earn less than $22,000 a year, the federal poverty line for a family of four, assuming just one paycheck in a household.

“We have a president who is talking about bringing more people into the middle class,” Mr. Stern said. “The government should expect contractors to obey the law, and at the same time contractors should not be building a poverty economy, but should be trying to build a high-road economy.”

The officials briefed on the plan said it was being developed by officials in the Office of Management and Budget, the White House Office of Legal Counsel, the Treasury, Justice and Labor Departments and the vice president’s Middle Class Task Force.

Even as business groups press the administration for more details, they are denouncing the plan, tentatively named the High Road Procurement Policy. The Daily Caller, a conservative Web site, reported Feb. 4 that the plan would “heavily favor government contractors that implement policies designed by organized labor.”

Randel K. Johnson, senior vice president for labor at the United States Chamber of Commerce, called the plan a “warmed-over version” of President Bill Clinton’s regulations that sought to bar federal agencies from awarding contracts to companies with a record of breaking labor, environmental or consumer laws. President George W. Bush vacated those regulations soon after taking office.

“We strongly opposed the Clinton blacklist regulations,” Mr. Johnson said, “and this appears worse than that.”

On Feb. 2, Senator Susan Collins of Maine and four other Republican senators sent a letter to Peter R. Orszag, director of the White House budget office, saying, “We are concerned that the imposition of these requirements, during a time of significant economic turmoil in the private sector and tight federal budgets, could have serious, negative consequences, especially for our nation’s small businesses.”

One signer was Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, who was one of the two main sponsors — the other was Senator Barack Obama — of a bill that sought to increase the transparency and accountability of federal contracting by requiring the government to create a data base of all federal contracts. President Bush signed it into law in 2007.

David Madland, director of the American Workers Project at the Center for American Progress, a liberal research group founded by Mr. Podesta, argues the new policy could lower government costs, instead of raising them.

Many low-wage employees of federal contractors receive Medicaid and food stamps, he said. Citing studies conducted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and by academic researchers, he said that contractors that pay their employees well have greater productivity and reliability, while contractors with a record of labor law violations do shoddier construction work. “This policy is good for workers, it’s good for taxpayers and it’s good for high-road businesses,” Mr. Madland said.

He said that one study done by the state of Maryland found that after the state began requiring bidders to pay a living wage, the number of bidders per contract rose by a third on average. Some higher-wage companies said they began seeking government bids because the new policy leveled the playing field.

One federal official said the proposed policy would encourage procurement officers to favor companies with better compensation packages only if choosing them did not add substantially to contract costs. As an example, he said, if two companies each bid $10 million for a contract, and one had considerably better wages and pensions than the other, that company would be favored.

Some supporters of the new procurement policy — and even some opponents — say Mr. Obama could impose it through executive order. They assert that the president has broad powers to issue procurement regulations, just as President John Kennedy did in requiring federal contractors to have companywide equal employment opportunity plans. But some opponents argue that legislation would be needed because an executive order may collide with laws that require federal contractors to pay the prevailing regional wage for the type of work being done. The executive order, they fear, would call for higher wages.

#23: WILL AND SHOULD ISRAEL BOMB IRAN? (Guest in DC or via phone):Former U. S. Military Chaplain James Hutchens, PhD, who retired from the Army with the rank of Brigadier General, is available to be your Talk Show guest addressing the topic of: Will and should Israel have to unilaterally bomb Iranian nuke sites?

During your Talk Show interview with General Hutchens, who publishes The JerUSAlem Connection magazine, shares with your audience how with every day Obama wastes time trying to ‘talk’ Iran out of making nuclear weapons, the ‘tyrants in Tehran’ get one day closer to having the ability to carry out their oft stated goal: To wipe Israel off the face of the map.

What’s more, in many Muslim nations, the nation of Israel doesn’t even appear on the maps in school room classes. So is it any wonder that small Muslim children in Iran and elsewhere grow up wanting to exterminate the ‘invaders’ when they someday when they grow up and see Israel actually appearing on world maps?

Ahmadinejad just warned if Israel acts in self-defense, “the regional countries will need to eradicate Israel once and for all.”

Dr. Hutchens stated, “The vicious and visceral hatred embedded in the DNA psyche of the Islamic Jihadist precludes any real peace with them on the part of Jews or Christians."

If time permits, Dr. Hutchens would like to comment on a bible verse in Psalm 83, written about 2500 years ago in both the bible of Jews and Christians, that predicts a confederation of Arab nations coming against Israel.

Bluntly, Hutchens says, "Before our prayer for the peace of Jerusalem will be answered, Asaph's prayer in Psalm 83 will have to be answered.

Note that each of the following ancient nations still exist. Ask Dr. Hutchens for their modern day equivalent. It may put chills down the spines of your listeners when it becomes clearn that this 2500 year old prophecy is imminent.

Psalm 83 (King James Version)

A Prophecy made 2500 years ago whose day has come:

1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

ABOUT REV. HUTCHENS, Ph.D…

Rev. James M. Hutchens, Ph.D., a retired US Army Chaplain with the rank of Brigadier General, is President of The JerUSAlem Connection, International and editor of the foremost Christian Zionist magazine in America, The JerUSAlem Connection.

Dr. James M. Hutchens is a Christian Zionist on a mission for Israel – a mission to make God’s purposes for Israel and the Jewish people an unavoidable issue. He is President and Chairman of the Board of The JerUSAlem Connection, International and Editor of the magazine “The JerUSAlem Connection.”

Dr. Hutchens also serves as the Washington DC Regional Director of Christians United for Israel. He is on the forward edge in the battle area of informing, educating and activating America’s Christian community on issues related to Israel from a Biblical perspective.

From his military experience, Dr. Hutchens is well acquainted with the concept of “Mission.” He came to faith in Christ as an enlisted paratrooper under the ministry of his unit chaplain. After college and seminary, he returned to the Army as a chaplain.

Dr. Hutchens was decorated for personal bravery in Viet Nam, including the Purple Heart, as the first chaplain wounded in Viet Nam. He served with the famous 173rd Airborne Brigade, and later with the celebrated “Green Berets.” Dr. Hutchens retired from active duty in 1994 with the rank of Brigadier General. His personal account of service in Viet Nam, “Beyond Combat,” tells of his experience as a combat chaplain in Viet Nam.

Dr. Hutchens was ordained to the ministry in 1962 and has served, concurrent with his chaplain duties, as a church planter and senior pastor for over 24 years. His wife, Patty, is an exhibiting artist and professor at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Northern Virginia Community College system. The Hutchens have three married children and twelve grand children. The Hutchens tell their fascinating story of a life-long love for Israel in their book “Guilty: Keeping God’s Covenant of Love with Israel.” The “General”
now brings his military leadership skills and pastoral devotion to duty to accomplish the mission of The Jerusalem Connection
International.(TJCI)

TJCI is an advocate of Christian Zionism. We are one with Christians world-wide who stand in agreement with what God’s Word says about Israel. As Christian Zionists, we support the modern State of Israel as the partial fulfillment of God’s covenant promise to provide homeland of the Jewish people. Through its “Operation Aliyah,” TJCI has helped bring over 80,000 Jews out of the former Soviet Union back to Israel. While still involved with Aliyah efforts in the FSU, we believe God’s future focus will be on the 6.2 million Jews in the Americas. TJCI’s Elisha Fund brings food, shelter and medicine to countless impoverished Israelis – its Operation Life for Israel provides aid and comfort to victims of terror and supports sanctity of human life endeavors throughout Israel. Taking bombed out Bus # 19 around the USA served to confront anti-Semitism of Islamic terrorism.

Rather than “replacing” or “superseding” Israel and the Jews, Dr.
Hutchens sees Christians as having been “engrafted” into the family of God and thus joint-heirs of the covenant promises of God. He believes TJCI is called to restore an appreciation of the Hebrew roots of Christianity. He seeks to encourage all believers to wait with expectation “for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” These projects and purposes are carried out with an attitude of extending mercy because of the mercy we have received in Christ. [Romans 11:30-31].

The JerUSAlem Connection. Int’l is bold to believe we follow in the distinguished tradition of the “men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” We believe a Christian’s perspective on what God is doing in Israel is a vital key to seeing the big picture of God’s plan and how he is operating in the world today. With this perspective, Christians have a sense of urgency to be used by God as never before. TJCI encourages you to be a part of living out that sense of urgency as a result of having a Biblical perspective on Israel.

Under Dr. Hutchens’ leadership, The JerUSAlem Connection’ In’l stays current on all the issues regarding the Middle East and Israel on a daily basis and keeps an ongoing update through “The JerUSAlem Connection” magazine. The “General’s” passion is to share the mission and vision of this ministry which has been raised up “for such a time as this.”

Another Puzzle in Iran After Nuclear Fuel Is Moved

#24: THE BALD-FACEBOOK LIE: When you Post Information about where you are or what you're doing, Criminals may be Taking Note:In the popular movie, “Home Alone”, two criminals cased neighborhoods and took note of who was preparing to leave home during Christmas. Once they identified a target, it was supposed to be easy-pickings.

Imagine if everyone in that family, which was flying to Europe for the holidays, had a facebook page or other social networking site and had been posting for weeks about their travel plans. Imagine if those same criminals were able to track those conversations and posts in the comfort of their own home.

Maybe the efforts of the burglars still would have been thwarted by the boy inadvertently left home alone but, according to Bill Waggoner, one of the world’s most widely known Internet marketers, and a leading authority on spam cons, we, the freedom-loving people of the United States, don’t really have our eye on the ball when it comes to Internet privacy.

In the era of social networking, people are almost deceived by the sense of privacy they feel when they're alone at their keyboard. Whether willfully ignorant or just plain forgetful, it can be easy to disregard the blinking ethernet cable that is blasting extremely personal information about yourself to an untold number of people.

Criminals are known opportunists and go figure, they've found a way to use social networking to their advantage. There is actually a website called www.pleaserobme.com . You will be amazed at how many people not only voluntarily post there whereabouts but say how long they will be away from home.

Compounding this problem is the fact that in social networking, the way people keep score is by adding to their list of friends and contacts. While this may be understandable, it is also tempting for people to add others to their friends list without knowing much about them, other than they're a friend of a friend of a friend, who quite possibly added them for the same reason.

#25: REID’S “ABUSIVE” RHETORIC: Is the Unemployment-Equals-Violence Argument Totally Misguided? (Guests in EST):Call it the cheese slipping just a little more off the cracker, or just another example of how life inside the Beltway bubble causes career politicians to lose touch with reality, but Senate Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is at it again—this time using his bully pulpit to say that rising unemployment is leading to an increase in spousal abuse across the country.

Feminist groups, social workers and others who track the issue of domestic violence point to studies that make Reid’s connection. And they say battery reports in the past couple of years confirm Reid’s assertion.

All that being true or not is beside the point say conservative critics—both of the Republican and Tea Party persuasion. They call Reid out on his pontificating, exposing it as a shameless attempt to exploit domestic abuse for the sake of pushing his next irresponsible big-spend ticket item through Congress.

So which side is right? . . . Neither, say authors and family consulting experts, Hal and Melanie Young. While the Youngs would agree that Reid has no place making the reference in his attempt to sell his “jobs” bill on Capitol Hill, they would back that up by saying any political argument on the issue is completely misguided. Why? Because the Harry Reids of the world cannot legislate in lieu of the parenting necessary to train young men on how to handle economic and other life hardships.

“Tough times call for resilience, not violence,” says Hal Young. “Even in a society where self-esteem is king and everybody is ‘special,’ boys soon discover that life does have winners and losers. When parents teach their sons to work hard and strive for success, they need to give them the tools to deal with setbacks, too. Their ability to bounce back and try again may be the key to their future.” And, in this case, the future of our nation.

For an entirely new angle on the latest controversial comments of Harry Reid, call Special Guests today to arrange an interview with the thought-provoking, but down-to-earth, Hal and Melanie Young. Your audience will appreciate their message tremendously.

#26: OBAMA THREATENS TO PASS ANTI-GUN HEALTHCARE BY CHEATING Like a Playground Bully-- on Steroids! (Guest in DC or by phone):According to a recent poll, only 23% of the American people want Congress to pass the anti-gun ObamaCare bill.

According to Gun Owners of America Director Larry Pratt, who is available to be your Talk Show guest on this topic, the President's response to this is that he simply believes Americans are just too stupid to understand that 'geniuses' like him, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid know better than we do what is good for us.

Pratt rhetorically asks, "So what is Obama's current plan? Cheat."

"ObamaCare is already the product of fraud, secrecy, bribery, and corruption," Larry said, "but Obama is preparing to ratchet up this corruption to a whole new level."

During your interview Pratt gives the gory details including how in 1974 when Congress created a special process for balancing the budget, Senators would be allowed to reduce the deficit with a simple 51 votes, rather than getting the 60 needed votes to stop a filibuster. But under the rules this process -- called 'reconciliation' -- can ONLY be used for balancing the budget. In contrast, ObamaCare would INCREASE the deficit by at least $500 BILLION.

Prat stated, "So what does Obama do? With the help of crooked accountants at the Congressional Budget Office, he lies. He fraudulently pretends the anti-gun ObamaCare legislation would actually reduce the deficit! And he does this by hiding costs and pretending he's going to make cuts he never intends to fully implement, including $465 billion in Medicare cuts! And he intends to use this fraud scheme to cram ObamaCare down the throats of the American people against their will!"

YOur listeners will likely agree with Larry Pratt that Americans don't want the increased taxes and gun control that have been injected into the bill.

#27: 6,000 EXPECTED AT UN FEMINIST CONFERENCE:The annual UN Commission on the Status of Women has turned into perhaps the largest annual radical feminist gabfest in the world. Six thousand women are descending on UN headquarters March 1-12, 2010.

Conducting Talk Show interviews exposing the radical liberal agenda of this event is Austin Ruse, Director of the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute, who warns about the involvement in the conference by The Center for Reproductive Rights, a New York based law firm that Ruse calls “bully girls with law degrees” with their sights set on aborting African babies. Said Ruse, “Africans beware of women from this group coming from American saying they are there to help you. They are not.”

This year’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is particularly significant because it marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Beijing Conference on Women. At the original 1995 conference, advocates attempted to establish a “right” to abortion on demand but failed when governments specifically outlined that no new rights – particularly, no new “right” to abortion – were established at Beijing. Since then, however, abortion proponents have not given up their attempts to push abortion rights at CSW and during periodic reviews of the Beijing conference.

While governments gather in a conference room to discuss how they have helped the world's women progress, non-government organizations (NGOs) will be holding their own events to push their ideas. According to an official from the Division on the Advancement of Women (DAW), over 6,000 NGO representatives have registered to attend this year’s CSW. A number of these side events will, not unexpectedly, focus on “sexual and reproductive rights,” “access to reproductive health services,” and abortion. While most pro-life organization were denied the opportunity to hold events over “space constraints,” many prominent abortion advocates such as Ipas, the International Planned Parenthood Federation and the Center for Reproductive Rights were given slots.

In conjunction with NGO side events, NGOs are also circulating documents to other advocates for presentation to delegations. Catholics for Choice (CFC) – formerly known as Catholics for a Free Choice – has circulated a joint declaration seeking support from other organizations on the CSW electronic mailing list for NGOs. The CFC declaration calls on "all Christians" to take aim at Nicaragua and El Salvador's strict pro-life laws with the slogan that "Jesus never condemned therapeutic abortion." CFC demands "in Nicaragua the immediate restitution of therapeutic abortion and in El Salvador the restitution of law that guaranty therapeutic, ethical and eugenical [sic] abortion."

#28: BARACKOBAMA.COM PAGE ENABLES LIBERALS TO CALL CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOWS AS SHILLS FOR HEALTHCARE: Astroturf Posing as Grassroots Americans (Ned's in Eastern Time):An outrageous new Obama.com web site is quietly enabling liberals to call in to conservative talk shows as shills for healthcare—feigning to be grassroots Americans!

With a single click liberals now can see what conservative or Christian talk show is currently playing and call a toll free number to get directly into that show as a call-in guest on about 100 largely conservative talk shows including Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Focus on the Family.

Available to be your Talk Show guest on this topic is the President of The American Majority, Ned Ryun, a former presidential writer for George W. Bush and son of former U.S. Congressman Jim Ryun, the first high school student ever to run a 4-minute mile.

In response to news of the Obama radio response site, Ryun stated, “I find it highly ironic that the Left has accused the Tea Party movement of being Astroturf when this is the height of hypocrisy and textbook Astroturf. It shows the level of desperation in the health care debate, trying to give the false impression of having grassroots’ support when it is hardly the case at all.”

Still sounds a bit hard to believe? Visit the stealth web site and see for yourself at:

Obama campaign arm focuses on talk radio

The Democratic National Committee's Organizing for America has quietly launched an initiative aimed at making Obama supporters' voices heard on the largely conservative airwaves.

"The fate of health reform has been a focus of debate in living rooms and offices, on TV and online — and on talk radio. And since millions of folks turn to talk radio as a trusted source of news and opinions, we need to make sure OFA supporters are calling in with a pro-reform message," says the introduction to the online tool.

The online tool presents users with a radio show discussing political topics, to which supporters can listen live, and the phone number for that station, for when health care comes up. It also offers tips for callers and talking points on the issue.

My quick sampling produced Christian radio, a local talk station in Buffalo, and the syndicated talk shows of Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Sean Hannity — who will no doubt be thrilled with their new, liberal callers.

Supporters are then encouraged to report back on their encounters.

Tech President's Nancy Scola writes that the program is a product of a new push inside the organization to develop new software tools to give supporters "achievable, tangible tasks to do that fit into the nooks and crannies of their day to day lives."

#30: CLIMATEGATE (Guest in Mountain Time):U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO), is available for Talk Show interviews on the topic of his most recent blog on ClimateGate.

ClimateGate Unethical, Potentially Illegal Behavior: Sen. Inhofe
By Bob Beauprez

Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has released a comprehensive examination of an investigation into the controversy known as “ClimateGate” concluding that the scientists involved “cooked the science” creating the “most significant scientific scandal of our generation.”

In November, 2009 disclosure of a large volume of email communications and documents connected to the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England set off a international scandal and accusations of faulty science, conspiracy, and collusion raising serious doubt about the alarmist theory and catastrophic warnings of anthropogenic global warming (APW).

During an EPW Committee hearing on February 23, 2010, Inhofe confronted Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, with the findings and called upon the Obama Administration to “scrap” the Administration’s “endangerment” classification related to APW greenhouse gases. Further, Inhofe insisted the EPA drop plans to implement new regulations that would be “the most economically destructive initiative in this nation’s history.” (Watch video here.)

Inhofe’s investigation on behalf of the EPW Committee’s Minority Republicans concluded that the scientists:

• Obstructed release of damaging data and information;

• Manipulated data to reach preconceived conclusions;

• Colluded to pressure journal editors who published work questioning the climate science "consensus"; and

• Assumed activist roles to influence the political process.

According to Inhofe, "This EPW Minority Report shows that the CRU controversy is about far more than just scientists who lack interpersonal skills, or a little email squabble. It's about unethical and potentially illegal behavior by some the world's leading climate scientists.”

"The report also shows the world's leading climate scientists acting like political scientists, with an agenda disconnected from the principles of good science. And it shows that there is no consensus-except that there are significant gaps in what scientists know about the climate system. It's time for the Obama Administration to recognize this. Its endangerment finding for greenhouse gases rests on bad science. It should throw out that finding and abandon greenhouse gas regulation under the Clean Air Act-a policy that will mean fewer jobs, higher taxes and economic decline."


ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:

Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it.

He was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950s.

The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught Bob a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.

During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.

The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.

Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.

While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.

While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.

In 2006, he was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.

Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).

Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.

#31: WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS? (Guest in Eastern Time):The following is an article by Keith Davies, Director of the Forum for Middle Eastern Understanding, who is available as your Talk Show guest on the topic of what it really means to Support our Troops.

Supporting our troops is Not Just Saying “I Support Our troops”‏
By Keith Davies, Director of the Forum for Middle Eastern Understanding

While many people do great work supporting our troops both in a practical sense in providing letters of encouragement, packages and working with support charities like the USO, however most of the public, our leaders, Pastors and Rabbis should hang their heads in shame because they do not support our troops in any way. The reason – they will not seek or speak the truth about the true nature of battle for our freedom.

The most important way to support our troops is to seek, understand and speak the truth on why we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq?

In our work we get many letters from troops serving and we speak to several at events or on the telephone who have returned from the field. Every time we communicate with them we notice they are very frustrated. They are frustrated because they have witnessed and experienced on the field and in the countries they serve i.e. Afghanistan and Iraq, the very things that Walid Shoebat speaks about, that they have now experienced firsthand, yet this is taboo to be spoken about in our media and in the churches and synagogues.

We dishonor our troops with our political correctness and fear for speaking the truth on our media and in our places of worship. The brave men and women of our armed forces are fighting for us and risking their lives for our freedom. They are fighting Islamic inspired terror based on a religious ideology, that wishes to use Nazi style strategies. Our gutless political leaders and the vast majority of church leaders will not speak the truth in their houses of worship because they are afraid. If they are afraid to speak the truth about Islam and its evil intent as well as it’s evil that is experienced by the Christian minority in Muslim countries, as well as its desire to destroy Israel and the Christian world; how dare these people call themselves people who believe in G-d’s word, ignoring the plight of persecuted Christians and ignoring what is blatantly obvious because they are too afraid?

If we are afraid to speak the truth, how can we look any one of our brave returning veterans and but be embarrassed because they risked their life for us but we cannot bring ourselves to speak the truth, the very least we can do, you might think. The reason is because we might lose our leadership position, or fear losing people from our congregation and the offerings they bring. They like to avoid the truth because the truth is ugly and unpleasant to expose.

Do you think it is encouraging for Walid Shoebat or I and the people who work with us to be rejected by most churches and synagogues because a Pastor or a Rabbi is afraid that such a message be heard in their place of worship? We get excuses like “we do not wish to offend the local Muslim community.” Or “we are afraid that our church/synagogue might get blown up by the Muslims,” or “Walid is a lightning rod.” Criticizing Islam in many a church is “bad for business.” Or the best one “We do not want politics in the church.” The church is more interested in the money it takes on a Sunday and giving a message from the pulpit that will tickle the ears of their flock. Our message is perceived to scare people off. As for politics that is easy to answer, when G-d gave the land of Israel to Abraham Isaac and Jacob and their descendants forever, He entered the realm of politics.

For those of you who have heard Walid Shoebat and been at a live event, you all know the opposite is true, people want the truth and most go to church to hear some truth because they are not getting it on their TV, their radio or in their newspapers. The message of G-d is truth and without truth you live a lie and if you live a lie you are without G-d. For those that wish to understand the Bible, the times we are in are described perfectly but the truth is a very narrow path, which few wish to truly seek and accept.

In World War Two we all knew why we were fighting, what Nazism and Imperial Japan stood for. We all understood what was at stake and we were totally united to see the battle through till victory. We all knew the truth then. Today most of us are fed lies and choose to either deceive ourselves or put the truth at the back of our mind. How can we continue to ask our brave men and women to risk their lives and fight for our freedom when we choose to believe lies over truth and deny our own freedom because when we lie to ourselves we must ask the question, are we really free at all? --Keith Davies

ABOUT KEITH DAVIES…

Keith Davies is the Director of the Forum for Middle Eastern Understanding (FFMU) and the Walid Shoebat Foundation, Keith is a public speaker on the topic of terrorism, its roots and how to stop it. During his lectures he uncovers much of the sectarian teaching used to recruit an ongoing stream of terrorists. Keith has worked for six years promoting Mr. Shoebat and through his efforts promoting Walid, Kamal and other FFMU speakers, these vital messages have reached tens of millions of people based on standardized media audience ranking.

#32: THE CHURCH GOETH BEFORE A FALL:What’s wrong with this picture? Major Christian church denominations are performing same sex marriages, ordaining homosexual clergy, and sanctioning abortion.

And even in many conservative churches, many parishioners are simply going through the motions of tradition, without having true relationship with the One they claim to serve.

And if there are family problems, instead of going to prayer, a growing number of churches are using psychologists to ‘fix’ their church problems.

The “Church Goeth Before a Fall” by Tim Lemont, who is available to be your Talk Show guest to warn the Church of Christ about the folly of using modern psychology to fix what only God can fix.

Tim Lemont shares that psychology dates all the way back to the “Garden of Eden” but that The Lord is calling his bride to forsake psychology and self, to return to faith in God above trust in ourselves.

Take a journey back from when Tim was a student attending Tyndale University College & Seminary, studying for a BA in Psychology. One month from graduation, Tim asked the Lord, “How can I use what I’ve learned from psychology to truly heal and transform people, Lord?”

The Lord showed Tim that psychology is a clever deception created by Satan to delude us into thinking that we can improve ourselves. The Christian world has bought into this lie. As a result, we are spoiling the gospel of Christ and giving the world the impression that we can improve on the gospel.

Tim contends that we are more concerned with developing “World-class Universities” than on introducing others to the One and Only Healer…Jesus Himself.

In pursuit of our dreams, the Church of Christ has forsaken its first love. God is calling his Church back to faith in Christ alone, and in his word. He is the only one that can truly save, heal and deliver us.


About Tim LeMont…

Tim Lemont was about to graduate with a BA in Psychology while attending Tyndale University College & Seminary.

Tim’s dream was to work one on one with people as a chaplain. Nearing completion of the degree, he sought the Lord about how to implement what he had learned.

To his surprise, the Lord showed him that Psychology is at war with the Church, and an enemy of the gospel of Christ.

Tim has served in the Church with children’s ministries, has sung tenor in the choir, and participated in serving for 8 years as a cabin leader at a children’s summer camp in Haliburton, Ontario.

Tim enjoys preaching the Word, and belongs to a small men’s prayer fellowship that he currently attends, called “Iron Sharpens Iron.”

Currently, Tim is driving a forklift at a large appliance warehouse in order to help pay off debt from school and his automobile purchase. He plans on applying for a Master of Divinity program in Toronto, and then to work toward a chaplain ministry.

Tim lives in Brampton, Ontario with his mother Larysa, his identical twin brother Jim and his older brother George. While still single, he is thankful to still enjoy the fellowship of his family while trying to pay off his debts. Tim also has a desire to pursue further writing in the future, as the Lord leads. Tim loves to fish, golf, watch movies or the Toronto Maple Leafs with his twin brother that he loves.

Shortly after surrendering his life to Christ at the age of 25, Tim asked God to glorify himself in it as he pleased. To his surprise and delight, God is showing him dreams and visions in his heart that he could never have imagined. He gives all the glory to God. Tim is thankful to God for calling him to stand for the truth of the gospel at a time when the Church has fallen in love with the world…

Revelation 2:4 (King James Version):
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

#33: FCC DEBATE ON INTERNET FILTERS:It has been said that exposing children to hardcore adult pornography is a form of child abuse. There is much truth in that, especially when children are repeatedly exposed to pornography.

Those responsible for this abuse include Internet pornographers that allow children to view hardcore adult pornography free of charge and without proof of age. Those responsible also include prosecutors and law enforcement agents who have turned a blind eye to the proliferation of obscene materials on the Internet, and Congress for failing to hold the Justice Department and FBI accountable for their failure to vigorously enforce federal Internet obscenity laws.

Morality in Media President, attorney Robert Peters, is available to be your Talk Show guest on this topic to urge Americans to speak out against free access to pornography to children. Peters contends that many parents cannot or will not obtain and install Internet filters on their home computers. Robert is offering a free 38 page report to your listeners explaining his position.

#34: TERRORIST LAWYERS IN THE JUSTICE DEPT.: Holder Admits to Appointing Nine Who Defended Detainees (Bob Beauprez is in MST):If Americans are already uneasy about how the Justice Department is pampering terror suspects with Miranda rights and other privileges afforded to them as if they were U.S. citizens, former U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO), says they should be irate.

On his daily blog at www.aLineOfSight.com, Beauprez posts and responds to a February 19th article from The Washington Examiner in which, under pressure initiated by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley (R), Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder confirms that nine of his appointed Justice Department officials have represented or advocated for terrorist detainees.

For anyone paying attention, this latest piece of information, combined with the terrorist-defense track record of Holder’s own firm and his puzzling inclination to try accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a federal criminal trial, begs the question, “Who’s side is our attorney general really on?”

Then, in his blog, Beauprez takes it to another level, expressing his frustration over the remarkable double standard too.

“Remember when the left went ballistic over Vice-President Dick Cheney’s meeting with oil company execs when he headed the White House task force developing a national energy policy in 2001?” he writes. “God forbid, he actually sought input from the people producing energy to develop a national energy policy, right? This was reason enough for the left to call for Cheney's impeachment. But, when it comes to national security, apparently it is a different matter in the Obama administration . . . I took an oath when I went to congress to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic’ Am I the only one who is outraged by this? Where is the outrage?”

Find out exactly where the outrage is by calling Special Guests to schedule an interview with the insightful—and, like most Americans right now, fed up—Bob Beauprez.

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:

Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it.

He was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950s.

The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught Bob a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.

During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.

The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.

Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.

While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.

While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.

In 2006, he was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.

Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).

Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.

#35: JOBS BILL PASSES SENATE: Scott Brown and 4 other Republicans Break Rank (Guest in Eastern Time):Scott Brown joined four other Republicans to break rank to help pass the Jobs Bill creating a firestorm of public opinion ranging from, “He’s his own man, bucking party lines,” to, “He’s a sellout.”

Available for Talk Show interviews on this topic is former vice chairman of the Kentucky Republican Party, Marcus Carey, who wrote the following blog about the vote.

Marcus Carey is a conservative writer, blogger and internet radio host, with over 40 years experience running political campaigns, 30 years as a lawyer and having served as the Vice Chairman of the Republican Party of Kentucky he is increasingly being called upon and quoted for his insights and unique political perspective.

Conservatives Need Not Be Hasty, Nor Hypocritical on Scott Brown Job's Bill Vote
By Marcus Carey, February 23, 2010

Early on I took stock of Scott Brown's victory with cautious optimism. I happen to believe that he, his wife and his daughter are far too interested in fame to be trusted without keeping a close eye on them.

But don't let the reaction of some republicans to Scott Brown's so called "vote with the democrats" on the Senate jobs bill persuade you that he has become a turncoat overnight. In my opinion, he has not, yet.

First he made it very clear that he was running for office to put an end to partisan bickering and to put the interests of his constituents first. He told voters that he would go to Washington with jobs creation at the top of his agenda. It would be mighty hypocritical of republicans to complain one day that election promises are too often broken, and the next day complain when one is kept.

And don't hastily buy into the Mitch McConnell version of republicanism where all republican senators are expected to do exactly as they are told. Taking orders from the people, not party leaders, is in large part what the TEA party movement is all about.

Brown was joined by 4 other republicans in his vote to allow debate to continue on the Jobs Bill. Why 36 others didn't join him is a question they will have to answer. But my guess is that part of their motivation was a unified effort to keep anything on the Obama agenda from passing, no matter what it might do to help the nation.

This rank partisanship is a poor reason for opposing legislation, and as the frustration among Americans grows, so will their discontent with republicans who can't seem to vote for a tax break unless the GOP leadership tells them too.

The jobs bill give a TAX CREDIT to employers who hire out of work employees. Not a tax deduction, but a tax credit, a dollar for dollar reduction in the amount of taxes paid based upon the salary of the new employee.

In addition the bill sets aside $19.5 billion dollars to shore up the highway construction fund. For all of you conservatives out there who complain about runaway spending, most of you want government to limit itself to providing a military and building roads and bridges. Isn't this what you were asking for?

And lastly the bill is paid for by a crackdown on off shore tax shelters. In other words, making those earning money in this country pay their fair share rather than sneaking dollars out of the country to Caribbean banks and dodging taxes, the kind of thing for which you criticized Charlie Rangel.

Yes it might appear that Scott Brown broke ranks with the republican power brokers inside the beltway, but don't let the "Chicken Littles" in leadership tell you what to think about that.

America has grown up quite a bit this year. It's time to start thinking for ourselves. And since the bill hasn't passed yet and Brown's vote just sends it to debate, it's now up to us to pay attention and then decide whether we want our elected officials to support it. After all, it is our country, remember.

#36: PELOSI’S PRO-ABORTION PUSH Dems Plan a Trick Card to Force ObamaCare Agenda (Guest in EST):From the tea-party rallies and the town hall meetings all the way up to the election of Senator Scott Brown (R-MA), the writing is on the wall like gaudy graffiti: Americans don’t want the healthcare reform that the leftist Democrats keep trying to sell.

Nonetheless, under the leadership of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), these Dems are so dead set on pushing it anyway, they’re preparing to cheat it through by reconciliation—or the filibuster-busting trick of tying the reform policy to a budget bill instead of letting it stand on its own.

For individuals like Chris Slattery, the founder of EMC Front Line Pregnancy Centers, the inexplicable arrogance is infuriating enough. But, on top of all that, the Pelosi parade is willing to sacrifice the values of members in their own party to see it happen, thus killing the Stupak Amendment to block healthcare funding of abortions.

“The pro-abortion provisions are morally wrong and would cost taxpayers millions,” says Slattery, referring to the Senate bill. “We have to be very vigilant to make sure this backdoor attempt at pro-abortion healthcare reform doesn’t come to pass. The message from so many Americans is loud and clear that abortion is NOT healthcare.”

For a focused perspective on the issues, an informed projection on the political outcome and a compelling commentary on just what might happen if the Dems—under the influence of pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood—get their way, call Special Guests right now to schedule an interview with Chris Slattery.

#37: NEW BILL TO BAN ABORTIONS ONCE BABY IS OLD ENOUGH TO FEEL PAIN/ Guests in Eastern Time):Throughout the decades that mark the political and legislative battle on the abortion-rights issue, the cornerstone of debate has always been whether or not life begins at conception or birth.

But this week, in the Nebraska state legislature, a new bill will be on the table that completely shifts that cornerstone away from an argument of personal opinion to one of scientific fact—that after 20 weeks in the womb, a fetus has developed all the nervous structures necessary to begin feeling pain.

Available for interviews to further explain this medical science and the potentially groundbreaking Nebraska Abortion Pain Prevention Act on which it is based are Mary Balch, Lori Kehoe and Dorothy Yeung of the National Right to Life’s State Legislation Department.

The bill, should it become law, would ban the killing of unborn babies capable of feeling pain, absent a significant risk to the mother. More specifically, it would prevent abortion after 20 weeks in the absence of such a significant risk to the mother.

As guests on your show, Balch, Kehoe and Yeung can explore the issues regarding how unborn children can experience pain, whether or not it is within the Constitution to prevent abortions on “pain-capable” children, and what kind of precedent Nebraska’s bill could set should it pass.

Don’t miss this opportunity to introduce a whole new, thought-provoking angle on one of the most deadlocked debates in U.S. political and cultural history. Call Special Guests today to arrange an interview with three incredibly astute experts.

#38: OBAMA HEALTH BILL WOULD DENY RIGHT TO USE OWN MONEY TO SAVE THE LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY (guest in DC or by phone):President Obama’s new health care proposal, posted Monday morning, February 22, is more radical than the bills passed by the House and Senate in limiting the ability of all Americans, and especially senior citizens, to use their own money to obtain health insurance less likely to ration lifesaving medical treatment. It would end older Americans’ current right to add their own money on top of the government Medicare contribution to get such insurance, while empowering state and federal government officials to limit what could be spent on health insurance by Americans of any age.

As they prepare for a “summit” with Congressional Republicans, President Obama and the Democratic leadership of both the Senate and the House of Representatives are making clear that they are ready to use extraordinary parliamentary procedures to push through a massive restructuring of American health care. The latest version is arguably more extreme than its predecessors in threatening widespread limits on American’s ability to get medical care.

Conducting Talk Show interviews on this vital topic is attorney Burke Balch, director of National Right to Life Committee’s Powell Center for Medical Ethics and featured speaker of the DVD Special, “Healthcare for a Pro-life Perspective,” available at: www.CleanTV.com

Burke shares with your audience this comparison: It is as though a government, concerned about the high cost of restaurant food, imposed a price limit of $5 per meal, and then asserted that for those who like their restaurant food, nothing will force them to change their eating habits. The reality, of course, is that restaurants would be unable to afford to offer meals at prices below the cost of their ingredients. Consequently, about all restaurant-goers would be able to get would be fast food.

Similarly, when every premium increase is subject to veto by government officials, it means that instead of Americans making their own choices balancing the cost against the benefit in evaluating competing insurance plans, that decision will be taken out of their hands by bureaucrats whose principal duty is to hold health care spending down. Denial of lifesaving diagnostic tests and treatment would surely follow. This, he argues, is rationing, pure and simple.

#39: OBAMA ENVOY CAUGHT LYING: After First Denying he said things Sympathetic to Convicted Terrorist, Recording makes Rashad Hussain Change Course:This story first broke after Barack Obama announced via video conference that a man named Rashad Hussain would serve as his Islamic envoy to the Organization on Islamic Conference (OIC), a group made up of 57 Islamic states.

The controversy involved sympathetic statements attributed to Hussain about convicted terrorist Sami al-Arian in 2004 at a Muslim Student's Association (MSA) event.

A publication called the Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs (WRMEA) mysteriously removed Hussain's quotes from its story some time after 2007. WRMEA editor Delinda Hanley told Fox News that the quotes were removed in February, 2009, one month after Hussain landed a job in the U.S. Department of Justice.

Former Muslim terrorist Walid Shoebat, along with his foundation's executive director, Keith Davies can provide keen insight into groups like the MSA and why the fact that Hussain even appeared at that event should be cause for serious concern.

Nonetheless, the actions of the White House, Rashad Hussain, and the WRMEA editor could arguably rise to the level of conspiracy thanks to a recording of the 2004 event obtained by POLITICO (link to story below). As a direct result of that recording, Hussain has admitted that he did in fact make the comments.

Earlier, Hanley said she had the quotes removed because she was told by someone, whose name she couldn't remember that they were not said by Hussain but instead by al-Arian's daughter, Laila. Questions loomed about why the quotes were removed entirely and not re-attributed to al-Arian.

ABOUT WALID SHOEBAT…

Born in Bethlehem, Walid's grandfather was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem (The Shepherd's Fields) and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler.

As a young man, he became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel, and was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel.
http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2010/01/20/news/photos_stories/cropped/nidal_hasan_001--300x300.jpg

After his release, he continued his life of violence and rioting in Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities.

In 1993, Walid studied the Bible to challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, he realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.

Driven by a deep passion to heal his own soul, and to bring the truth about the Jews, Israel and the threat of fundamentalist Islam to the world, Walid shed his former life and his work as a software engineer and set out to tirelessly bring the cause against the evil of Islamic Fundamentalist to tens of millions of people throughout the world: churches, synagogues, civic groups, government leaders and media.

Walid is the author of several bestselling books including “Why I Left Jihad,” “Why We Want To Kill You” and “God’s War on Terror.” Walid is an American citizen and lives in the USA with his wife and children, under this assumed name. Walid has spoken all over America and the world including Chile, Mexico, Canada, UK, and South Africa. He has appeared on national television also all over the world including CNN, CNN International, FOX News, ITN, RTE, NBC, CBS, The 700, ABC and ABC Australia. He has also been featured on BBC radio 4, 5 and the largest radio audience on the BBC World Service reaching 180 million people.

Walid has the unique insight so as people can now fully understand the issue of terrorism from the perspective of someone who was once a terrorist. Walid Shoebat has given lectures at Harvard Law School and Columbia University, and has also spoken at Oxford University UK, National Constitution Center, Capitol Hill, UCLA, USC, University of Georgia, Washington University, Penn State, and San Diego State University.


ABOUT KEITH DAVIES…

Keith Davies is the Director of the Forum for Middle Eastern Understanding (FFMU) and the Walid Shoebat Foundation, Keith is a public speaker on the topic of terrorism, its roots and how to stop it. During his lectures he uncovers much of the sectarian teaching used to recruit an ongoing stream of terrorists. Keith has worked for six years promoting Mr. Shoebat and through his efforts promoting Walid, Kamal and other FFMU speakers, these vital messages have reached tens of millions of people based on standardized media audience ranking.

#40: STIMULATING, LIKE A PUNCH IN THE FACE: After One Year, Americans See More Waste, No Jobs (Bob Beauprez is in MST):Are you and your audience prepared to get angry? Like millions of Americans, Former U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO), is standing on the Main-Street sidelines watching his money be spent by a government that says it knows what’s best for us.

And, like a fiscal watchdog, he’s at the very end of his chain in frustration with the one-year results of the Obama administration’s infamous economic stimulus package (officially, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act).

While Vice President Joe Biden continues trying to sell us on it, and while the Congressional Budget Office reports that the bill will actually cost $75 billion more than the already hard-to-swallow $787 billion, Beauprez is doing his homework.

He’s available for interviews to explore what he found and to provide a unique political perspective—as someone who once served in Washington—on this and other issues fueling the tea-party fury across the country.

Call Special Guests right away to schedule an interview. In the meantime, you can preview Beauprez’s government waste-list here, with this excerpt from his blog at www.ALineofSight.com:

Voters also know that millions in stimulus dollars were wasted in ridiculous government pork projects. The following is just a sampling of The Best of the Stimulus Stupidity.

1. $100,000 IN STIMULUS FUNDS USED FOR A MARTINI BAR & BRAZILIAN STEAKHOUSE: Sheryl Atkinson, CBS News: “You probably wouldn't guess that a martini bar and a Brazilian steakhouse would be on tap for stimulus funds, but in St. Joseph, Missouri, two privately owned facilities are getting 100,000 of your tax dollars.” (CBS's “CBS Evening News,” 12/9/09)

2. $390,000 TO STUDY MALT LIQUOR AND MARIJUANA CONSUMPTION: “The State University of New York at Buffalo won $390,000 to study young adults who drink malt liquor and smoke marijuana.” (“Senate GOP Point Out 'Pure Waste' Found In Stimulus Package,” The Hill, 12/8/09)

6. $4,200-–$5,500 TAX CREDIT FOR PURCHASING GOLF CARTS: “Thanks to the federal tax credit to buy high-mileage cars that was part of President Obama's stimulus plan, Uncle Sam is now paying Americans to buy that great necessity of modern life, the golf cart. The federal credit provides from $4,200 to $5,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle, and when it is combined with similar incentive plans in many states the tax credits can pay for nearly the entire cost of a golf cart.” (“Cash For Clubbers,” The Wall Street Journal, 10/17/09)

7. $219,000 TO STUDY THE SEX LIVES OF FEMALE COLLEGE FRESHMEN: “Five hundred Syracuse University freshmen will divulge the details of their sex lives as part of a women’s health study called ‘The Women's Health Project,’ being conducted by Michael Carey, SU professor of psychology and medicine.

The City of West Hollywood Council received one million dollars in federal funds from the Federal American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), (otherwise known as the $700 billion federal stimulus package), for the long-planned Sunset Strip Beautification Project, which is scheduled to break ground soon. The guaranteed funding will allow the City to increase the already nearly $7 million budgeted for this project by an additional $1,105,000, meaning enhancements to a project that already included the resurfacing of the roadway, sidewalk and improved landscaping.” (“Feds Stimulus Sunset Strip Beautification Project,” WeHoNews, 9/28/09)

9. $325,394 TO STUDY “MATING DECISIONS” OF CACTUS BUGS: The Cactus Bug Project at the University of Florida is more ambitious, spending $325,394 in stimulus money to determine how environment affects the mating decisions of females. According to the project proposal, it should also answer the question, ‘Whether males with large weapons are more or less attractive to females.’” (“Stimulus Money And Weird Science: Benefit Or Boondoggle?” The Orlando Sentinel, 2/16/10)

10. $500,000 TO STUDY “SOCIAL NETWORKS LIKE FACEBOOK”: “Millions of Internet users have been enjoying the fun—and free—services provided by advertiser-supported online social networks like Facebook. But Landon Cox, a Duke University assistant professor of computer science, worries about the possible down side. Privacy problems. … To delve deeper into these issues and begin the search for alternatives, Cox recently won a $498,000, three-year grant from the National Science Foundation. The funding is part of the federal stimulus package called the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).” (“Seeking Privacy In The Clouds: Research Aims At Isolating Social Network Information From ‘Control Of A Central Entity,’” Science Daily, 10/15/09)

11. $3.4 MILLION FOR A TURTLE TUNNEL IN FLORIDA: “The other third of the stimulus, government infrastructure spending, has been the most controversial from the start.

12. $30 MILLION FOR A SPRING TRAINING BASEBALL COMPLEX FOR THE ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS AND COLORADO ROCKIES: “A big chunk of the money that will pay for a new spring-training baseball complex on tribal land in the east valley will be delivered via a financing program that’s part of the federal economic-stimulus plan. The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community says it may borrow as much as $30 million of the estimated cost of the $100 million complex near Scottsdale that will become the spring home of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies.” (“Stimulus To Help Tribe Build Baseball Complex,” The Arizona Republic, 9/17/09)

TOM COBURN: “What that is, is a situation where you see the wealthy or well connected get taken care of and the community suffers.” KARL: “He's talking about the Napa Valley wine train relocation project, 54 million stimulus dollars to build a new rail bridge, elevate and relocate 3,300 ft of tracks and put flood walls around the train's main station.” (ABC News’ “Good Morning America,” 2/2/10)

14. $50,000 IN STIMULUS FUNDS USED FOR A TENNIS COURT IN MONTANA: DAVID MATTINGLY, CNN: “I came to Bozeman to find a city on thin ice over how it's spending stimulus money -- $50,000 to erase all of these cracks and potholes in city tennis court. ... Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer wants to make Bozeman an example of how not to spend stimulus money.” ... GOV. BRIAN SCHWEITZER: “What they violated was that rule of common sense. There ought to be that little guy in your head that waves his finger at you and says, wait a minute, we might want to rethink this thing.” (CNN, 1/25/10)

15. $250 STIMULUS CHECKS WENT TO PRISONERS: MEGYN KELLY, Fox News: “Thousands to a million of your stimulus dollars have gone straight to convicts.

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:

Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it.

He was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950s.

The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught Bob a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.

During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.

The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.

Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.

While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.

While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.

In 2006, he was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.

Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).

Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.

Bob's most recent book: A Return to Values, available at:

#41: SILVER LINING IN THE RECESSION: Entrepreneur Points to Savings Hidden in the ‘Cards’ for Consumers (Marc Acker is in EST):A year and a half after the big market collapse and good economic news is still hard to come by. In fact, most of the radar blips that grip remain on the downside, such as reports like that out of the Associated Press this week that revealed even Wal-Mart, “one of the recession’s biggest beneficiaries,” saw an aftermath sales decline for the first time in Q4 ’09.

But before consumers get too far down, Marc Acker, founder and CEO of ABC Gift Cards, says solutions are out there and popping up every day for those clamoring to save money without sacrificing too much of what they’re used to.

As a guest on your show, Acker can break down the hidden gem of opportunity born out of the near $100 billion industry of gift cards—more specifically, the near $9 billion portion of it that is unwanted gift cards, or cards that, every year, never get spent.

Acker has built an online business that buys these cards at a rate just under the cards’ value from owners who don’t want them, then turns around and sells them at a discount rate to those who do want them. As Acker points out, these consumers save an average of 10 to 15 percent off merchandise and meals at all kinds of name-brand establishments, from Macy’s and Home Depot, to Best Buy and Outback Steakhouse.

“Buying gift cards at a discount is almost like buying cash at a discount,” explains Acker in a recent press release. “Consumers are realizing that it’s now more than just about giving. It's about saving. Customers who purchase gift cards from us and then use them as the method of payment at their favorite merchants are significantly reducing their shopping expenses. It's the new trend on how to fight the rising cost of living.”

For more insight on the real buying power of this option, plus a unique perspective on the current market economy from a businessman who is leveraging it in an innovative way, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Marc Acker.

ABOUT MARC ACKER:

ABC Gift Cards started locally in the New Jersey–New York area in the spring of 2006 when Acker and another entrepreneur realized the growing need for a marketplace where people can buy, sell and trade their gift cards. Now, with a large dedicated staff and many local kiosk locations, ABC Gift Cards, headquartered in East Windsor, New Jersey, is the leading online marketplace offering the largest pool of discounted gift cards to choose from. As part of its success, ABC also maintains the highest standards of security, implemented to identify fraudulent sellers and inaccurate cards.

#42: HEALTHCARE SUMMIT PULLS UP LAME Obama, Dems to Announce Reform Bill Before Meeting With GOP (James Lansberry is in CST):Just when the rhetoric appears to demonstrate some effort to achieve a bipartisan healthcare reform bill, President Obama and the leftist Democrats in Congress make another move that smells of strong-arming their agenda.

As the vice president of Samaritan Ministries, a successful free-market healthcare-coverage alternative, James Lansberry is someone with a very serious interest in any healthcare policy being kicked around Washington. And, like many on the outside looking in, the announcement expected from the Obama administration that Senate and House Democrats have a reconciled final bill doesn’t sit well . . .

. . . not when Obama is still preparing to meet with Republicans in a meeting he scheduled himself and touted as an invite to hear their ideas on the issue. At the time, many felt the tone of his invite was more of a stubborn challenge. Now, the meeting is shaping up to be a lame duck.

To make matters worse, Democratic officials have confessed that the new reform plan is being written to function as an attachment to a budget bill—clearly a response to Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts that stripped the Dems of their 60-vote supermajority in the Senate, because a budget bill only needs a 51-vote win to pass through any filibuster attempt.

Meanwhile, the American people continue to speak in opposition, as legislators in more than 30 states are working to pass their own statutes or ballot initiatives designed to protect their citizens from being forced into making unwanted healthcare decisions imposed on them by federal mandates.

For a highly educated commentary on these latest developments and a projection on how they may go forward from here, particularly in this very intriguing election year, call Special Guests today to schedule an interview with James Lansberry.

#43: HUGE GUN-RIGHTS DEMO COOKIN’ First Ever 2nd Amendment March Heading to D.C. :The rise of the Constitutional movement across the United States, sparked by a growing discontent with an arrogant and irresponsible government, has manifested itself in many ways. The latest is a political demonstration shaping up to be the largest of its kind.

Available for interviews is the man behind the mission, Skip Coryell, founder of the forthcoming Second Amendment March—a grassroots organization actively pulling together gun-rights proponents from across the country for a peaceful rendezvous and demonstration on the grounds of the Washington Monument in the nation’s capital.

At a time when the White House and both top seats in Congress are filled with individuals who possess far-left political records, the gun movement has been remarkably resilient, winning key legislative battles in the past year or so at both the federal and state levels. In a key Supreme Court case in Chicago coming up in the first week of March, experts on both sides of the issue expect a victory for the 2nd Amendment there as well.

But, like many Americans concerned about the expansion of government taking place under President Obama, Coryell feels strongly that the time is now to send a message.

“The mission of the Second Amendment March is to galvanize the courage and resolve of Americans,” writes Coryell on the organization’s website SecondAmendmentMarch.com. “It is to petition our elected officials against establishing anti-gun legislation, and to remind America that the Second Amendment is necessary to maintain our right to self defense. It is the one right that protects all others.”

In preparation, leading up to the event on April 19, Coryell’s group will be coordinating smaller scale “satellite” marches at state capitals and major cities across the country. To give your audience an inside track on how to get involved and to gain a common-man, but extremely well-informed, perspective on the gun rights issue and the current political landscape, call Special Guests to book an interview with Skip Coryell—a focused mover and shaker who is no stranger to speaking in front of an audience.

ABOUT SKIP CORYELL:

Skip Coryell lives with his wife and children in Michigan. He is the founder of the Second Amendment March and the author of seven books, including his newest Stalking Natalie, as well as RKBA: Defending the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, the Ted Nugent-acclaimed book, Blood in the Streets: Concealed Carry and the OK Corral, the hunting novel, Bond of Unseen Blood, and the Second Amendment novel, We Hold These Truths. Skip is an NRA instructor and co-owner of Midwest Tactical Training, teaching concealed pistol classes in Michigan. He also owns and manages White Feather Press and is a columnist for HumanEvents.com and Examiner.com.

#44: GOLD REBELLION: South Carolina Congressman Moves to Ban Federal Currency:Something that would’ve been laughed off as absolutely crazy just a few years ago has now moved to just this side of outrageous and landed somewhere in the area of doubtful consideration.

We’re talking about a motion within the South Carolina State House of Representatives where Congressman Mike Pitts has introduced legislation that would mandate the replacement of federal currency with tangible gold and silver coins as the only legal tender.

It’s on the table, but indeed doubtful for passage according to many legal and economic experts for several reasons. It’s legally suspect from a Constitutional standpoint and economically from the standpoint of using actual precious metals as currency.

But, then again, Scott Brown’s U.S. Senate race victory in Massachusetts—likewise the product of public disenchantment with big-government spending—was seen as doubtful too.

Available for interviews to offer a realistic assessment of the viability of this proposal is Bob Chapman, a seasoned economist and publisher of The International Forecaster, who has been extremely critical of the U.S. government’s fiscal irresponsibility and, in particular, the Federal Reserve’s power to control monetary policy.

As a guest on your show, he can explore the reality of Mr. Pitts’ gold-based world, and project on the likelihood that other states might try to follow suit—much the same way they’ve done in passing backlash-type states-rights legislation on gun rights and healthcare reform as well.

Plus, Chapman can get into the nuts and bolts of our economy, and the high-risk trend line we’re on if we don’t come up with new, perhaps even if laughable, solutions to our bad spending and money-printing habits.

Call Special Guests today.

ROBERT J. CHAPMAN BIOGRAPHY:

Mr. Chapman is 73 years old. He was born in Boston, MA, and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, one year in Canada and another year in the Bahamas.

Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.

From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.

Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.

Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.

In 1976, after the Soweto riots, Mr. Chapman began buying North American shares exclusively for his clients. Up to that point only a handful of American and Canadian issues interested him, due to the high dividends the South African shares had paid out over the years. Between 1976 and 1988 his business surged from 1,000 to 6,000 clients, so the bulk of his business ended up being Vancouver Stock Exchange issues. For this reason he is very conversant with the quality of management, geologists, properties and traders on today’s North American scene. He is well known.

From 1976 to present he has spoken and given workshops at over 200 business conferences worldwide, and has been on radio and TV thousands of times. Until his retirement he was always judged by the attendees to be one of the top three speakers and never once was lower than first in workshops due to his vast knowledge of the mining business and his grasp of worldwide financial markets and political scenes.

In June of 1991, at the request of business associates, and due to retirement boredom, he began writing the International Forecaster.

Over the past 40 years, Bob Chapman has immersed himself in the study of world politics and economics. His articles have run in more than 200 publications. His newsletter, "THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER,” has active subscribers all across world. Bob Chapman has conducted hundreds of workshops at business conferences and has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and television programs.

Some of his uncanny predictions include:

* Called the top of the market in April 2000.
* Predicted 9/11 or an event like that, nine months early, within 33 days of it actually occurring.
* Predicted the invasion of both Afghanistan and Iraq two years before they happened.

#45: NAPOLITANO HUNTING ‘RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS’ (A.K.A. TEA Partiers, gun owners, political conservatives, etc.) Guest in Pacific Time:The following is an alert from the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms by its chairman Alan Gottlieb, who is available for Talk Show interviews on the topic of Janet Napolitano's witch hunt of so-called "Rightwing Extremists" (a.k.a. 'Tea Partiers') and the "Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."


ALERT: ABC News is reporting that Obama's Department of Homeland Security is monitoring the comments and posts of conservative Americans and gun owners on web sites and within social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Obama You Can Keep the "Change" I Support the Second Amendment.

This raises very serious concerns. This is America, NOT Iran!

The Department of Homeland Security, led by leftist anti-gun rights Secretary Janet Napolitano, has a history of trying to suppress gun owners and conservative opponents of the President.

This latest news with the admission that the Obama Administration is monitoring the comments of Americans should raise concerns about big brother and the security and privacy of individual Americans.

We need to be absolutely sure that the political views of Americans - especially gun owners and those with conservative views critical of the President - are not being monitored for political suppression.

We need to stop this travesty now. We need confidence that gun owners and conservative Americans are not being monitored because of their opinions.

Political suppression MUST Be Stopped -
STOP THE MONITORING OF GUN OWNERS AND CONSERVATIVES:
SEND YOUR FAXES TO CONGRESS NOW!

Last year you may remember the uproar over an official DHS report that Napolitano requested.

It was a formal Federal Government paid report titled: "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."

In this report, Obama's Department of Homeland Security said among other things: Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements ... and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to gun control or illegal immigration.

First Obama's federal department sought to tie the word and emotion of "hate" to those who favor state's rights - in essence the form of democracy created by our founding fathers. Secondly, it sought to label as dangerous those who oppose gun control or who favor a crackdown on illegal immigration.

But there is more...

Obama and Napolitano's official report also said: "Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election (Obama's election as President) as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship ... and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment."

So, if you believe in the Second Amendment to the constitution or if you disagree with Obama's policies - you too can be dangerous according to Janet Napolitano and Obama's Department of Homeland Security.

The Obama administration thinks that gun owners and conservatives are more dangerous than terrorists, Napolitano's Department is admitting they are monitoring websites and social media feeds for "increased security."

In light of her past actions it makes one wonder what they are monitoring.

When Napolitano's report came to light last year it was also revealed that it included passages saying the American government should be afraid of returning troops coming back from war.

In effect her report said we should be afraid of veterans. It said, "rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat."

Americans should be afraid of our brave men and women returning from combat who could turn on us. That is what Napolitano's report said.

CNN reported that s a result the American Legion's national commander, David K. Rehbein, said in a letter to Napolitano that, "I think it is important for all of us to remember that Americans are not the enemy. The terrorists are."

Her response was to say "I know that some veterans groups were offended by the fact that veterans were mentioned in this assessment, so I apologize for that offense. It was certainly not intended."

However, this apology did not include an apology to the millions of gun owners and conservative American's who did not vote for Obama, who do not support his policies and who are not radical but average, concerned Americans - the same Americans who have attended gun shows, Tea Party protests, events like our Gun Rights Policy Conference or who have supported the NRA.

Now we find out that she and her Department are monitoring website posts and other online social media networks.

Do you remember last summer when the White House attempted to track emails?

The Dallas Morning News had reported the Obama White House government official website called for supporters to track "disinformation" from opponents.

Another report from the Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper noted the White House told their supporters "If you get an email …that seems fishy, send it." They then provided a special email address just to track opponents.

The Obama White House has a history of trying to track and suppress political dissent.

The Obama administration has a history of using official government resources to track opponents.

They paid for reports critical of veterans, gun owners and those with conservative political views. They created a program to track messages and email addresses of those opposed to government run health care. Now the administration - the same Department led by Napplitano that issued the anti-conservatives report is admitting to monitoring website posts and social networks.

It is important to ensure this data is not used for political attempts to track opponents.

I think it is important for freedom loving Americans to have a comfort level that the White House will not use official government information to track the views of conservatives and gun owners.

Political suppression MUST Be Stopped!

#46: JOBS DROP UNEXPECTEDLY: Senate Candidate Calls for Abolishing EPA to Stimulate Jobs (Guest in Central Time):U.S. Senate candidate Bill Johnson of Kentucky is calling for the abolishment of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Said Johnson, “The Federal Government is standing between the American people and their use of their natural resources. It is time to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency return those responsibilities to the states.”

In Johnson’s state of Kentucky coal mining jobs are vital. Johnson stated, “The proposed cap and trade legislation will drive up energy prices in Kentucky and result in further loss of old jobs and manufacturing jobs.”

Kentucky currently has the second lowest energy costs in the nation with 90% of Kentucky’s electricity coming from coal. Johnson maintains that any federal legislation driving up the price of coal would have a disproportionate negative effect on Kentucky.

“Any further legislation restricting the use of coal for the use of energy would decimate jobs in Kentucky and drive up energy costs for nearly every person,” stated Bill Johnson.

When Bob Johnson speaks, people listen—and people respond in thunderous applause. See article below from Kentucky.com that acknowledges Bill received the loudest applause during a large public rally. (See article below with excerpt in bold font.)

'Restore America' rally unites groups
ACTIVISTS PROMOTE SMALLER GOVERNMENT, CHRISTIAN VALUES
By Ryan Alessi
ralessi@herald-leader.com

FRANKFORT — More than 400 people spilled onto the state Capitol steps Saturday cheering and hoisting signs urging smaller government and an increased focus on Christianity as conservative speakers railed against politicians, taxes and the media.

The two-hour "Restore America" rally featured prayers and songs, such as We Want America Back, the 1996 anthem with lyrics that decry the state of the country.

The rally, organized by Rev. Jeff Fugate, the pastor at Clays Mill Baptist Church in Lexington, attracted activists from the Tea Party movement, anti-government groups and anti-abortion groups.

"Restore America is a movement to see America restored to its founding principles — founding principles of faith in God, family values, constitutional freedoms and financial responsibility," Fugate told the crowd.

He later implied that the Republican Party had shifted toward the political center, philosophically, allowing Christian activists and the Tea Party movement to gain traction.

"We need more than a conservative movement that follows the left and ends up where the left used to be," he said. "We need to turn to the right and head back to the standard."

Then, shifting into revivalist preacher mode, Fugate explained that the "standard" meant a renewed focus on Christian values.

"I believe America is due for some old time leather lung, window rattlin', shingle pullin', call-it-like-it-is, black-and-white, plain-statin' preaching from the word of God," he said, sparking cheers.

One state issue highlighted during the rally was the fate of a bill that would require women considering abortion receive an ultrasound and go over results with a doctor. The bill, S.B. 38, passed the Senate 32-4 in January and rests in the House Health and Welfare Committee, where it stalled last year. Margie Montgomery, executive director of the Kentucky Right to Life Association, told the crowd six of 14 committee members support the bill, leaving it two votes short of passage.

"It's not an earth-shattering bill but it's a necessary bill," she said. "It could save lives — it will save lives."

Critics of the legislation have said it will allow government to micromanage doctors.

Most of the speakers vented frustration at the federal government for approving more debt and applying taxes and regulation the speakers deemed unnecessary.

Tom Dupree Jr., founder of Lexington firm Dupree Financial Group, and Lexington radio show host Leland Conway urged attendees to ramp up their activism in the face of what both described as media efforts to marginalize them.

"Part of what the media wants to do is make us feel like we're part of some edgy cult that doesn't know what we're doing; we're uninformed, uneducated, foolish and completely out of the mainstream," Dupree said. "Don't listen."

Dupree added that the media doesn't take the movement seriously.

Yet, on Saturday, at least five TV news stations and two newspaper reporters covered the rally.

At least nine candidates for elected office on the 2010 ballot also attended, including Republican 6th District congressional candidate Andy Barr and two contenders in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, John Stephenson and Bill Johnson. Johnson, a Todd County businessman, drew the crowd's loudest response when he was acknowledged.

Many in the audience punctuated speakers' points by shouting out sources of their frustration, usually Democratic President Barack Obama, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, or "greedy politicians," in general. And they waved signs underscoring themes of the rally. One read: "Get out of our House! A plan to evict all 435 politicians from the U.S. House, www.GOOOH.com."

The GOOOH group is a national grassroots organization aimed at ousting congressional incumbents in the 2010 election, said Laura Watkins, GOOOH's state coordinator.

Watkins, a Louisville stay-at-home mother, said GOOOH's process would allow voters in each district to choose principles and values most important to them and get behind a candidate who best represents those. Those values will likely vary from district to district.

The organization is beginning the process across the country, including Kentucky's six congressional districts, she said. But because of Kentucky's election laws, GOOOH-backed candidates will have had to have been registered as independents by Dec. 31 in order to get on the fall ballot. The filing deadline for anyone registered under a political party was Jan. 26.

Watkins said GOOOH activists have been attending events like the "Restore America" rally to recruit people similarly disaffected with government.

"We're agnostic on the issues," she said. "We want more accountability in government, and we've got a plan to give that all back to the people."

#47: COP SLIPS UP ON FACEBOOK Remarks Draw Fire From Gun-Rights Proponents (Larry Pratt is in EST):In an unusual twist involving the increasingly wide-open forum of Facebook, an East Palo Alto, California, Police Detective has found that shooting from the hip, so to speak—even in a private Internet dialogue—can get you in hot water.

After exchanging comments with a friend in his network on the leading social media site, Det. Rod Tuason now has a group, started by another Facebook user 3,000 miles across the country in Virginia, calling for his termination.

It might sound extreme, but Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America (GOA), Larry Pratt—like thousands of other gun advocates privy to the comments— believes otherwise.

In his exchange, Tuason responded to an apparent fellow officer’s comments about Californians carrying unloaded weapons openly in public by saying that such “2nd Amendment” individuals should be “proned out” (put face down on the ground) and shot if they make the slightest move.

Little did Tuason know, a pro-gun California attorney would see the remarks and post them on his own website for others to find. Now, gun rights groups are up in arms.

But wait. Some defend Tuason with an argument that this 2nd Amendment attack has no grounds to violate his 1st Amendment right to free speech. Yet, gun leaders like Pratt point out that no one is looking to press charges. Rather, they say there is a difference between free speech and an armed law enforcement officer accidentally revealing a violent tendency toward law-abiding citizens.

For Pratt, the judgment is clear. “He (Tuason) does not know whom he works for. He thinks he is the boss. He should be fired.”

For an insightful perspective on this very unique topic, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with the frank, but analytical, Larry Pratt.

#48: 5 MUSLIM SOLDIERS INVESTIGATED OVER FT. JACKSON POISONING:The New York Post reported that five Muslim soldiers are being investigated in a probe about the food poisoning of U.S. soldiers stationed at the Fort Jackson military base.

According to the report, the poisoning may have been more widespread than the five soldiers known to be poisoned. Sources claimed the men plotted to poison the food supply on the South Carolina military base. CBN News reports that the 5 men were actually arrested in December 2009. (See article below.)

Conducting Talk Show interviews on this topic is terrorist-turned-Christian Walid Shoebat, who offers keen insights into the mind of Islamic soldiers.

Walid shares with your audience details regarding what is referred to in the Army as “Lima 09,” the Army translation program and how subtle differences and nuances make all the difference in the world when translating Arabic into English and how vitally important it is to have loyal American military translators.

CBN News reported that the five arrested men were Islamic and cited a source who said they may have been in contact with five Washington, DC Muslims, who were arrested in December after authorities uncovered their plans to travel to Pakistan to wage jihad against the U.S.

Also available for interviews is Keith Davies is the Director of the Forum for Middle Eastern Understanding (FFMU) and the Walid Shoebat Foundation

ABOUT WALID SHOEBAT…

Born in Bethlehem, Walid's grandfather was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem (The Shepherd's Fields) and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler.

As a young man, he became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel, and was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel.

After his release, he continued his life of violence and rioting in Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities.

In 1993, Walid studied the Bible to challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, he realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.

Driven by a deep passion to heal his own soul, and to bring the truth about the Jews, Israel and the threat of fundamentalist Islam to the world, Walid shed his former life and his work as a software engineer and set out to tirelessly bring the cause against the evil of Islamic Fundamentalist to tens of millions of people throughout the world: churches, synagogues, civic groups, government leaders and media.

Walid is the author of several bestselling books including “Why I Left Jihad,” “Why We Want To Kill You” and “God’s War on Terror.” Walid is an American citizen and lives in the USA with his wife and children, under this assumed name. Walid has spoken all over America and the world including Chile, Mexico, Canada, UK, and South Africa. He has appeared on national television also all over the world including CNN, CNN International, FOX News, ITN, RTE, NBC, CBS, The 700, ABC and ABC Australia. He has also been featured on BBC radio 4, 5 and the largest radio audience on the BBC World Service reaching 180 million people.

Walid has the unique insight so as people can now fully understand the issue of terrorism from the perspective of someone who was once a terrorist. Walid Shoebat has given lectures at Harvard Law School and Columbia University, and has also spoken at Oxford University UK, National Constitution Center, Capitol Hill, UCLA, USC, University of Georgia, Washington University, Penn State, and San Diego State University.


ABOUT KEITH DAVIES…

Arab 'plot' eyed at SC Army base
By DAREH GREGORIAN

Last Updated: 9:57 AM, February 19, 2010

Posted: 3:50 AM, February 19, 2010

Several soldiers assigned to an Arabic-translation unit at a South Carolina Army base are being investigated for plotting to poison the food supply there, it was reported last night.

The Army is taking "extremely seriously" allegations that the soldiers were planning to poison the Fort Jackson food supply, the Army's Criminal Investigation Division spokesman, Chris Grey, told Fox News.

The investigation has been under way for the past two months, but "there is no credible information to support the allegations," Grey said.

WLTX-TV in South Carolina reported that several soldiers were detained shortly before Christmas.

Their current status is unclear and an Army spokesman said no arrests have been made.

Citing sources, Fox said the suspects are Muslim and part of a translation program called "09 Lima," made up of noncitizens for whom Arabic is their first language.

The investigation was launched roughly a month after deranged Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan gunned down 12 soldiers and one civilian at Fort Hood, Texas.

CBN NEWS/ Feb. 19, 2010

Update: Five Muslim Soldiers Arrested at Fort Jackson in South Carolina

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

Patrick Jones, the Deputy Public Affairs Officer for Fort Jackson, confirmed for CBN News yesterday afternoon that an investigation was ongoing .

Prior to this posting, CBN News learned that these details were also confirmed by a government official with knowlegde of the investigation.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the "Fort Jackson Five" may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

Coming as it does on the heels of November's Fort Hood jihadist massacre, this news could have major implications.

Stay tuned to this blog for more details.

CBN NEWS/ Feb. 19, 2010

Army CID keeps an eye on 09 Lima

Last night my friend Erick Stakelbeck reported that some soldiers at Fort Jackson, SC are under investigation for trying to poison the food supply at the base. Chris Gray, the public affairs officer for the US Army's Criminal Investigative Division confirmed yesterday afternoon that these soldiers were a part of a fairly new Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) called "09 Lima."

Every soldier in the Army carries an MOS. I was 11 Bravo, which is the designator for an infantryman.

The 09 Lima school is centered at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and it's a special school that falls under the "Civilian Acquired Skills program" This program is put in place for people who already have a skill or profession and want to do that job in the military. X-ray technicians, firefighters, or even journalists like me could enlist under such a program.

What makes the 09 Lima program stand out is that it is specifically geared towards non-US citizens who bring to the table one very in-demand skill - the ability to speak fluent Arabic, Dari, Pashto, or some other needed language. But these recruits also have a handicap - their grasp of the English language is not sufficient to allow them to make it through basic training. So the 09 Lima program puts them through a sort of pre-basic basic, where they learn American culture, Army culture and work on their English language skills. Once they finish the course, they are then able to enter normal basic training. It' is a very small program, with something less than forty recruits in each class.

Here's the interesting part. According to Lt. Col. Frank Demith, these recruits are offered an "expedited citizenship program, once they serve one day of honorable active duty."

Military service has always been a way for non-citizen US residents to obtain citizenship, and thousands have performed honorably in service to our country before it actually became their country.

though the Army must certainly have a thorough vetting process in place to try and avoid a scenario like that described by Erick Stakelbeck's recent blog, in the case of the 09 Lima program, the ability to receive "expedited American citizenship" must present a tempting opportunity for jihadi extremists with ulterior motives.

In this case, however, the military is obviously keeping a sharp eye on things to keep anything like that from happening. Whatever happened with the "Fort Jackson Five" - and the details are very sketchy at this point - it appears that the Army's Criminal Investigation Division was on the ball.

#49: BIG BROTHER IS GOOGLING YOU Exposing the Privacy Threat of the Internet’s Most Popular Sites (Bill Waggoner is in PST):During the Bush administration, it was the Patriot Act. In the past year, under Obama, it’s been the fear that an expanding leftist government would use the Internet to monitor everyday Americans labeled as “right-wing extremists.”

But, according to Bill Waggoner, one of the world’s most widely known Internet marketers, and a leading authority on spam cons, we, the freedom-loving people of the United States, don’t really have our eye on the ball when it comes to Internet privacy.

“What people should really be gnashing their teeth about are the Internet giants that have become part of our daily lives,” warns Waggoner. “I don’t think people have any idea how closely they are being monitored by the likes of Google, Twitter, Facebook and all the search engines and social media sites. And it’s potentially very dangerous.”

Recently, Google officially announced it will join the likes of competitors Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing to begin indexing personal social media micro-blog entries, making it so these entries can appear in search results. This move, Waggoner points out, will expose people’s personal dialogues and leave them extremely vulnerable to hackers, spammers and viruses.

But it doesn’t end there. New “eye-in-the-sky” technologies like Google Earth make it ridiculously and irresponsibly easy for criminals to find and threaten virtually anyone.

“You name it,” says Waggoner, “A stalker, a child molester, even a terrorist . . . If they want to find you, they can. They can figure out exactly where you are, any time, anywhere.”

The worst part is, Waggoner adds, Google and the rest of them know exactly what they’re doing.

Find out the why and the how behind the corporate Internet threat that is much bigger than anything the government can impose. And, more importantly, arm the individuals in your audience with the information they need to protect themselves. Call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Bill Waggoner today.

#50: WILL THE REAL TEA PARTY CANDIDATE PLEASE STAND UP?:Kentucky has become a battleground for the heart and soul of the TEA Party movement.

TEA Party candidate and Gulf War vet Bill Johnson is running for the Kentucky U. S. Senate being left vacant by retiring incumbent Republican Jim Bunning.

Bill Johnson leaves no government pork project unslaughtered or junk science statement left unchallenged and is known for his populist quips such as, “Global warming is on the way to North America. It is call Spring time. Please hurry.”

But just as it appeared that Kentucky might see its first TEA Party U.S. Senator, a Libertarian candidate with a well known Libertarian-leaning father is risking splitting the TEA Party vote by running not as a Libertarian but as a Republican in an effort to ride the TEA Party populist wave.

Libertarian Rand Paul, son of congressman Ron Paul, is running on the GOP ticket in a closed primary that does not allow cross-over voting from his the Libertarian Party, forcing Kentucky Republican voters to choose between a typical compromising ‘big tent’ Republican vs. a Libertarian Republican vs. a TEA Party Republican since there is not as yet an official unified national TEA Party political party.

What makes the matter even more peculiar is that both the Republican and Democrat tickets have 3-way races that include a doctor, a lawyer and a soldier!

So who are red blooded TEA Party minded Kentuckians supposed to vote for? And just what are the ingredients are brewed into a genuine TEA Party candidate and his or her political platform?

According to Bill Johnson, who has internal tracking polls showing himself neck in neck with Rand Paul, a TEA Party candidate is someone who is a freedom-loving moral American who embraces traditional values who is willing to work hard and doesn’t want unnecessary government handouts but is willing to see some sober programs for people truly in need.

Bill Johnson faults Rand Paul’s repackaged Libertarianism in either TEA Party or GOP garb. He says Rand’s states rights Libertarianism is too extreme for most Kentuckians, saying his stands intellectually make some sense but don’t pass the ‘smell test’ of common sense or in some cases of ‘moral sanity.’

Cases in point, according to Johnson, include Rand’s willingness to toss Israel under the bus (David Horowitz article: http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/02/02/was-sarah-palin-snookered-into-endorsing-a-stealth-anti-israel-candidate/) in the guise of nonintervention, or throwing out preborn babies with the bathwater under the guise of states rights.

While Johnson concedes that Rand’s father Ron Paul’s Bill aimed at auditing the Federal Reserve is noteworthy, he says there are other issues closer to home that need to be addressed including adding some TEA Party common sense to existing legislation regarding mining of coal and protecting the jobs of hard working coal miners so that they can provide food for their families and fuel for Kentucky and much of the United States.

So what exactly is the TEA Party? Americans first heard of the phrase when CNBC anchor Rick Santelli gave a 3-minute Howard Beals-esque rant on Squawk Box that all capitalists should show up for a Tea Party at Lake Michigan to protest Obama's proposed $275 billion deficit-financed homeowner bailout. See WND’s excellent synopsis article:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php/index.php/index.php?pageId=89384

But the movement really garner much media attention until Republican Scott Brown pulled off his Senate upset in Massachusetts, yet by most measures, Brown was still more liberal than Middle American TEA Party grassroots activists.

But regardless of how the TEA Party movement is defined, it is definitely having a big effect: It’s causing non-TEA Party incumbent politicians like Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana to pack their bags to avoid the anticipated embarrassing defeats by the fingers of angry TEA Party minded voters in November.

Others include Chris Dodd (D-CT), Byron Dorgan (D-ND), Judd Gregg (R-NH) . . . and this doesn’t even get into the list of dropouts on the House side.

#51: DRUDGE LEAD HEADLINE: “CNN SHOCK POLL: Majority Say Obama Doesn’t Deserve a 2nd Term (Guest in Eastern Time):The current DrudgeReport.com lead headline screams: “Majority Say Obama Doesn’t Deserve a 2nd Term.

One year ago the main Obama headline was about a much more popular and confident leader: ‘Urgent Stimulus on Hold for Obama’s Weekend off.” But that was the Obama of YesterYear.

Joe Sansone, author of "Obama In Wonderland," a new book warning of Obama's Authoritarianism, predicted the rise and fall of Barack Hussein Obama and he is available to be your Talk Show guest.

Joe’s book is loosely based on Alice in Wonderland with strong political twists. It’s unique storyline takes the reader through a series of unraveling adventures. This fast paced narrative paints the picture of a president that is out of touch with reality.

In the alternate reality, the factual fiction that the book presented creates a uniquely modern tale that demonstrates both the dangers and folly of the current administration. Obama in Wonderland pokes fun at members of the media and political pundits alike, offering fictional caricatures of well known media personalities and members of Congress.

Based on current polls, this is a book appears to be quite ahead of its time.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR…

Joe Sansone is a former talk radio host, political activist, and entrepreneur.

A strong proponent of self empowerment, Joe is also trained in clinical hypnosis and firewalking instruction.

While politically his views expressed are typically described as being either Conservative or Libertarian, Mr. Sansone identifies himself as an individual.

ABOUT THE BOOK: “Obama in Wonderland,” by Joe Sansone

Follow Insane Hussein’s journey through the looking glass, "Obama in Wonderland: Inside Insane Hussein’s Looking Glass; a Silly Book for a Serious Time," by Joe Sansone.

In what may be the most 'politically incorrect' book of the century, Obama in Wonderland pulls no punches in its condemnation of left wing statism and the inherent threat it poses to the Republic.

The book is loosely based on the classic Alice in Wonderland, and is a light hearted political farce illustrating the bizarre nature and lack of reality surrounding the Obama Administration and its policies. Barack Hussein Obama is transported to Wonderland where he attempts to implement transformative change, but will Wonderland survive?

With a truly unique storyline, through a series of unraveling adventures, this fast paced story paints the picture of a president that is out of touch with reality. In this alternate reality, the factual fiction that is presented creates a uniquely modern tale that demonstrates both the dangers and folly of the current administration.

Featuring decidedly hilarious characters that are disconcertingly familiar, Obama in Wonderland’s lightly ironic tone and absurd plot make for an understated but highly effective parody. Political satire at its finest, Obama in Wonderland seeks to illustrate the absurd by being absurd.

Obama in Wonderland pokes fun at members of the media and political pundits alike. Offering fictional caricatures of well known media personalities, members of Congress and other public officials, 'political correctness' is not adhered to. Part parody, part prophecy, Obama in Wonderland warns of dire consequences if Insane Hussein’s policies are left unchecked.

Although a political farce, Obama in Wonderland may be the most accurate depiction of President Obama and his policies in print. Its author contends that this may be the most important book that voters read between now and 2012.

#52: US DEMANDS DOCS ON TOYOTA RECALL (Guest in DC):AP has reported that the U. S. Department of Transportation has demanded documents related to Toyota's massive recalls in the United States to determine if the automaker acted swiftly enough. Toyota, meanwhile, said it will idle production temporarily at two plants over concerns the recalls could lead to big stockpiles of unsold vehicles.

Former NHTSA director Maj. General Jerry Curry is available to be your Talk Show interview guest to discuss the magnitude of this escalating recall involving gas pedals getting caught under floor mats, rendering cars out of control.

Stated Curry, “By law when a motor vehicle manufacturer discovers that it has discovered a safety defect, it must notify NHTSA that such a defect exists within five working days. By the time NHTSA is notified it has usually already discovered that the safety problem exists from customer complaints to its ‘Hotline,’ or through police crash reports or accident fatality reports. What is clear about the Toyota safety problem is that what should have been handled as a routine motor vehicle safety recall has now become a political football, and is well on its way to souring the good relations between the United States and Japan.”

Legal documents demand that Toyota explains to the government of the United States as to how and when Toyota learned of the safety defects in gas pedals installed in millions of vehicles, leading to multiple fatal collisions. Toyota has 30-to-60 days to comply or face fines.

In addition to his stint as top dog over highway safety under President George H.W. Bush, Maj. General Curry served his country fighting in the Korean War, Vietnam and as press secretary for Casper Weinberger in the Reagan administration.

ABOUT MAJOR GENERAL JERRY CURRY…

Major Gen. Jerry R. Curry (US Army Ret.) Ph.D. is a decorated combat veteran, Army Aviator, Paratrooper and Ranger who has served his country both in the military and as a Presidential appointee in three administrations. He served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Carter Administration, as Press Secretary to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger in the Reagan Administration, and as Administrator of NHTSA for President George H. W. Bush. A munitions expert, General Curry was the top ranking officer overseeing all equipment at the Military Proving Ground at Aberdeen, Maryland.

But Jerry Curry was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Far from it, Jerry was a steel mill worker from the small town of Liberty, Pennsylvania who enlisted in the Army as a young private and rose to the rank of major general, a feat almost unheard of. His recent book, From Private to General – An African American Soldier Rises Through the Ranks (Believe Books, 2007), is a gritty true-life story of an African American soldier determined to succeed in a white-dominated military culture, facing the barriers of racism and elitism without compromising his values or becoming a victim. He rose through the ranks by distinguishing himself in intense challenges of combat and in military command assignments and by surviving the political infighting that is endemic in the military.


THE AMERICAN PEOPLE v TOYOTA
By Maj. Gen. Jerry Ralph Curry, US Army Retired; BA, MA, D.Min
Author of From Private to General: An African American Rises Through The Ranks

For months the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is part of the Department of Transportation, had been receiving complaints from customers and police agencies across the nation about “sticking accelerators” on Toyota Motor Vehicles. They routinely processed these complaints and asked Toyota to investigate and report back on the alleged problems. Indications are that Toyota was less than responsive.

Finally in November of last year, NHTSA approached Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and requested permission for some of its staff to fly to Japan to meet with Toyota executives; permission was granted. The purpose of the trip was to determine whether or not there was really a sticking accelerator problem and, if there was, to find out when Toyota intended to recall its automobiles and fix them?

In the history of the agency I know of no other time when federal regulators went “hat in hand” to an auto manufacturer, at home or abroad, and begged them to make a safety recall of a defective motor vehicle system. During the three years when I was the Administrator of NHTSA it was not unusual to recall nearly a million vehicles a month for repair of safety defects, and not once did a member of my staff have to travel to Japan or Europe to do it. Not once did we refuse to conduct a safety investigation because of the, “need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA’s limited resources to best accomplish the agency’s safety mission.” In fact, I would have fired any member of my staff who came up with such a dumb idea.

The NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT OF 1966 charges NHTSA with the responsibility to “protect the American public against unreasonable risk of accidents occurring as a result of the design, construction or performance of motor vehicles and is to also protect against unreasonable risk of death or injury to persons in the event accidents do occur … a minimum standard for motor vehicle performance, or motor vehicle equipment performance, which is practicable, which meets the need for motor vehicle safety and which provides objective criteria” to measure against.

It is NHTSA’s job to protect the public by setting standards and identifying and correcting motor vehicle safety defects -- including sticking accelerators and sudden and uncontrolled acceleration... It does this by defect identification and correction; by “compiling and analyzing safety statistics and information; and by conducting supportive safety research and development.” If a safety defect exists NHTSA identifies it and requires that the manufacturer recalls the defective vehicles and corrects their faults at no cost to the customer.

Identifying and correcting mechanical and technical safety defects is something the military trained me to do. At one time I commanded the U.S. Army’s Test and Evaluation Command headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The command was responsible for the “Engineer Development Testing” of all military equipment including – but not limited to -- aircraft, helicopters, jeeps, tanks, trucks, missiles, artillery and munitions.

When I was leading NHTSA, we assumed that some auto manufacturers would do all they could to stiff arm us and not cooperate, but we didn’t care. Our job was to protect the public and we had all the tools -- or weapons -- we needed to get the job done. We could assess substantial fines, subpoena correspondence and records, loose the news media on the manufacturers for their lack of cooperation and, if need be, have the Department of Justice drag the recalcitrant manufacturer into court. On the average NHTSA opened between 100 and 125 defect investigations a year.

Even back then Toyota was a very large and competently run company; but at times it could be difficult to work with. It had a reputation of not notifying the agency of its discovery of safety defects as required by the Safety Act and of not providing completely factual answers concerning the issues raised by our letters and Special Orders. But this was only an irritant, not a failure of the system. I made it clear to Toyota that I was not above knee-capping them and they wisely decided to fully cooperate.

It is the US Department of Transportation’s NHTSA that is responsible for identifying, recalling and having motor vehicle safety defects corrected. The manufacturer’s job is to perform the recall in accordance with NHTSA’s instructions.

#53: U.S. TEENS APPROACHING FULL-TIME MEDIA SATURATION, MUCH OF IT BAD (Guests in Eastern Time):You may think your teenager is always plugged in to their iPod, video game, or social media. A pair of recent studies suggest that it's literally true, and what they're consuming often isn't healthy for them.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, American children aged 8 to 18 are spending more than seven and a half hours per day watching TV and movies, listening to music or cruising the Internet. A second study by the University of South Dakota found teenagers are routinely accessing PG-13 and R-rated movies without parental guidance, and 77% of public school students spend five or more hours a week playing video games intended for Mature or Adults-Only use. Nearly one in four (23%) say their parents never enforce limits on their use of the media -- or don't set rules at all.

Available for interviews on this eye-opening topic are Hal and Melanie Young, parents of six sons and authors of the new book Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys.

In a media-saturated age, how can we guide our children into better choices of entertainment and time use? Is it possible for parents to teach kids to use the Internet and other media responsibly, without cutting them out of the culture entirely? Hal and Melanie Young, parents of eight and authors of Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys, say it is not only possible, but necessary. They have practical ideas to give your children the ability to evaluate what they see and hear, and principles that will help them make their own decisions with good results - whether the media is music, movies, advertising or politics!

ABOUT YOUR GUESTS, HAL AND MELANIE YOUNG:

#54: ONLY 1 IN 4 SAY STIMULUS HELPED MIDDLE CLASS Yet White House Has Biden Insisting it’s Good Medicine (guest in Mountain Time):How many TEA Parties and Town Hall meetings will it take for the White House and Congress to finally get the message?

Recent polls show that only 1 in 4 Americans believe the so-called Stimulus helped Middle Class Americans.

Yet, this White House just can’t seem to let this issue go. Even when CNN reports the abysmal poll numbers supporting stimulus plans, Obama exploits the one year anniversary of the Stimulus by sending out 'Communicator-in-Chief' Joe Biden to tell folks that they've got it all wrong, and the failed stimulus was good medicine after all!

Conducting Talk Show interviews on this topic is former U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO), who says, “Give it up, Joe!” in response to Biden’s weeklong push to highlight the stimulus program's first year. Biden kicked off the tour to a city believed to be a ‘friendly’ to the Obama Administration, hard-hit Saginaw, Michigan. Biden toured a business, a jobs training program and a solar factory that all received Recovery Act dollars.

During your interview the former Congressman makes the case for allowing the private sector be its own stimulus: Just leave it alone!

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:

Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and Member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it. Currently he maintains a buffalo breeding ranch in the Colorado Mountains and remains very politically active.

Bob Beauprez was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950's. The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught him a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.

During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.

The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.

Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.

While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.

While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.

In 2006, he was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.

Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).

Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.

#55: TOP TALIBAN MILITARY COMMANDER CAPTURED: What will be Revealed after Picking his Brain?:The lead story in world news is: “Top Taliban Military Commander Captured.”

Yes, at long last, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban's No. 2 leader behind Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar, has been captured.

As the rest of the world waits for the long grueling process of trained interrogators ‘picking the brain’ of this terrorist leader and close associate of Osama bin Laden, your loyal audience need not wait.

Why? Because you may interview former Islamic terrorist Walid Shoebat, who personally understands what is in the mind of Taliban, Al Qaeda and Palestinian terrorists.

Your audience will be enlightened as to many myths that simply are not true regarding the motives of terrorists and their leaders.

Why do terrorists want to kill US? What is the best strategy to stop suicide bombings and terrorist aggression? Is the war on terror winnable?

Walid answers these question and more during your eye-opening interview.

Also available for interviews is Keith Davies is the Director of the Forum for Middle Eastern Understanding (FFMU) and the Walid Shoebat Foundation

ABOUT WALID SHOEBAT…

Born in Bethlehem, Walid's grandfather was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem (The Shepherd's Fields) and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler.

As a young man, he became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel, and was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel.
http://www.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2010/01/20/news/photos_stories/cropped/nidal_hasan_001--300x300.jpg

After his release, he continued his life of violence and rioting in Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities.

In 1993, Walid studied the Bible to challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, he realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.

Driven by a deep passion to heal his own soul, and to bring the truth about the Jews, Israel and the threat of fundamentalist Islam to the world, Walid shed his former life and his work as a software engineer and set out to tirelessly bring the cause against the evil of Islamic Fundamentalist to tens of millions of people throughout the world: churches, synagogues, civic groups, government leaders and media.

Walid is the author of several bestselling books including “Why I Left Jihad,” “Why We Want To Kill You” and “God’s War on Terror.” Walid is an American citizen and lives in the USA with his wife and children, under this assumed name. Walid has spoken all over America and the world including Chile, Mexico, Canada, UK, and South Africa. He has appeared on national television also all over the world including CNN, CNN International, FOX News, ITN, RTE, NBC, CBS, The 700, ABC and ABC Australia. He has also been featured on BBC radio 4, 5 and the largest radio audience on the BBC World Service reaching 180 million people.

Walid has the unique insight so as people can now fully understand the issue of terrorism from the perspective of someone who was once a terrorist. Walid Shoebat has given lectures at Harvard Law School and Columbia University, and has also spoken at Oxford University UK, National Constitution Center, Capitol Hill, UCLA, USC, University of Georgia, Washington University, Penn State, and San Diego State University.


ABOUT KEITH DAVIES…

Keith Davies is the Director of the Forum for Middle Eastern Understanding (FFMU) and the Walid Shoebat Foundation, Keith is a public speaker on the topic of terrorism, its roots and how to stop it. During his lectures he uncovers much of the sectarian teaching used to recruit an ongoing stream of terrorists. Keith has worked for six years promoting Mr. Shoebat and through his efforts promoting Walid, Kamal and other FFMU speakers, these vital messages have reached tens of millions of people based on standardized media audience ranking.

#56: GOOD-BAYH CONGRESS Early Election Revolution Continues With Another Drop-Out (Bill Johnson is in CST):When Republican Scott Brown pulled his Senate upset in Massachusetts, everyone put their seat belts on for an expected overhaul of Congress this coming November.

What, perhaps, people did not expect was that the 2010 election firestorm might come early, as Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) this week became the latest in a growing number of sitting Congressmen who would announce their retirement before campaigns even got into high gear.

Right in the thick of this organic retooling of Capitol Hill is upstart Republican U.S. Senate candidate and Gulf War vet, Bill Johnson, who is running for the Kentucky seat being left vacant by Republican Jim Bunning, another retiring incumbent—along with Chris Dodd (D-CT), Byron Dorgan (D-ND), Judd Gregg (R-NH) . . . and this doesn’t even get into the list of dropouts on the House side.

So, what is this abandon ship all about? Are these politicians accepting defeat early and getting out now to avoid an election embarrassment? What does this preemptive exodus mean for President Obama and the leftist agenda in Washington?

And what kind of candidate is the American voter looking for today? Is the tea party movement really that much bigger than Washington and the media wanted to believe?

Call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Bill Johnson and get a completely unique perspective from an individual who shares the grass roots ideal, but is also now on the inside of the revolution. In addition to providing a commentary on the changes already underway across the country, Johnson can also focus on his own race in Kentucky and use it as proof that not every new face in these elections is against playing the usual political games.


ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BILL JOHNSON:

Bill Johnson was born in Wichita, Kansas, and moved to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in 1975. After completing elementary through high school in Christian County, Bill attended the University of Kentucky (UK) and graduated in 1988 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He earned his Masters in Business Administration from The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1995.

While attending UK, Bill was selected for the prestigious U.S. Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program. He was commissioned on September 30, 1988. Bill served onboard the nuclear powered cruiser USS Virginia during the first gulf war. He later served on the staff of the Commander, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and then onboard the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower. During his military service, Bill received the Joint Meritorious Unit Award three times, Sea Service Deployment ribbon twice, Southwest Asia Service Medal with bronze star, Coast Guard Special Operations ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, Navy Unit Commendation, and Navy Achievement Medal. He received an honorable discharge after 10 years of military service.

Following discharge and accepting a job with General Electric, Bill and his wife Delinda returned home, residing in the Northern Kentucky city of Florence. While at GE, he was a corporate auditor and global information security manager. In addition to GE, Bill has worked for Kroll-O'Gara and Logical IT, both located in Cincinnati. Most recently, Bill was part of an international leadership team at BP, responsible for contracting and buying of over $1.2 billion of 3rd party goods and services. Throughout his career in business, Bill has cut costs, managed multi-million dollar budgets, led international teams, and delivered projects on time.

Bill's military and business leadership has taken him to Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, China, Azerbaijan, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Panama, Belgium, India, and Canada. Through these travels, he has interacted with diverse cultures and witnessed first hand why America is the land of opportunity.

Outside of work, Bill has been a pilot since 1984, earning his private and instrument ratings while in high school. A third generation 'aviation enthusiast', he has worked with his father on aviation projects for as long as he can remember. Bill is an Airframe and Power plant aircraft mechanic with over 25 years of aviation experience. He is a member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association (AOPA) and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Bill currently owns a 1963 Meyers 200B and flies about 100 hours per year.

Bill, Delinda, and their two children, Will (age 14) and Julia (age 10), have lived in Elkton, Kentucky, (Todd County) for 6 years. Delinda, a native of Casey County, is a teacher and loving wife. Bill and Delinda recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.

#57: TERRORISM TWO-STEP Obama Administration Waffling on 9/11 Trial (Bob Beauprez is in MST):Fresh off its questionable handling of the “underwear bomber’s” arrest and detainment, then ill-advised public announcements about the successes gained in the bomber’s subsequent interrogations, the Obama administration is at it again. And by “it,” we mean, “we’re not sure.”

That’s because, according to Obama’s multitude of foreign policy and terrorism critics, such as former U.S. Congressman Bob Beauprez (R-CO), one of the administration’s most dangerous faults is its lack of clarity or conviction.

This time, the political dithering that’s making the nation nervous involves the highly controversial trial of accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM) and his alleged terrorist cohorts.

After infuriating millions of Americans with the decision to extend U.S.-citizen rights to KSM and try him in front of a civilian federal criminal court just up the street from ground zero in New York City, Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured) has backtracked, saying the possibility is open to instead put Mohammed before a military commission after all.

Or not. We don’t know yet.

“At the end of the day,” hem-haws Holder in a Washington Post interview, “wherever this case is tried, in whatever forum, what we have to ensure is that it’s done as transparently as possible and with adherence to all the rules. If we do that, I’m not sure the location or even the forum is as important as what the world sees in that proceeding.”

Beauprez likewise says, at this point, it doesn’t matter. Except, in his case, he’s referring to the impression our President is leaving on the American people regarding his ability to keep the U.S. safe.

“This administration has taken a ‘ready, fire, aim’ strategy to a whole new level,” says Beauprez. “They change their minds so often you have to wonder if they don’t have help dressing in the morning. Such obvious incompetence is not very reassuring for an America under the increasing threat of terror.”

For a no-nonsense commentary on this troubling topic, call Special Guests today and schedule an interview with the candid and straightforward Bob Beauprez.

#58: HAITI’S MYSTERIOUS MISSION Baptists Charged With Kidnapping May Be Released, But Not Cleared (Jim Jacobson is in EST):In one of the most puzzling subplots to the tragic Haiti earthquake last month, 10 Baptist church mission volunteers from Idaho, led by a rather peculiar businesswoman and mother of three, Laura Silsby, (pictured) were arrested and charged with kidnapping for trying to usher 33 children out of the country without proper documentation.

Available for interviews to offer a unique perspective on the story is Jim Jacobson, a missionary himself, as president of the widely revered Christian Freedom International (CFI), and a father of eight children he and his wife adopted from Burma several years ago.

Late last week, a Haitian judge formerly recommended the release of “the Idaho 10,” pending an ongoing investigation. While the case awaits the prosecution’s decision to object, experts speculate whether or not a release would allow the group to leave the country.

Silsby’s intriguing background includes remarkable academic achievements, entrepreneurship and business ambition. But it also includes a pattern of eccentric behavior that involves making empty promises, exercising questionable actions to fulfill those promises, and often winding up in court as a result.

Silsby’s personal financial debts back home, combined with the fact that many of the children she tried to round up were not orphans, has raised the suspicions of prosecutors and outside observers.

But those who know Silsby are convinced her intentions were all good, while Jacobson, based on his own experiences, believes this could be another example of a “major institutional bias against international adoption.”

Among his Burmese children, several still had living biological parents who wanted the adoption of their child to take place and, yet, the process was still excessively long and arduous.

Says Jacobson, “Unfortunately, millions of children languish in foster care, or are wards of the state around the world, because it is so difficult to adopt. The plight of missionaries highlights the heavy machinery that can be brought against anyone who tries to counter the current broken system. Parents and guardians, not bureaucracies, should have the right to determine what is best for their children.”

Call Special Guests today for an insightful discussion on a fascinating case.

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, JIM JACOBSON:

Before CFI, Jim Jacobson served as a policy analyst in the Reagan White House, served as political appointee in the administration of George Herbert Walker Bush, and was a senior legislative assistant in the U.S. Senate. He was elected for a four-year term to the Warren County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors.

In his career he has testified before Congress, conducted briefings at the White House, State Department, and the United Nations. Jim has personally brought aid, smuggled Bibles, and provided advocacy to Christians in many countries in the past 10 years. He frequently travels into restricted countries—overtly and covertly—where Christians are severely persecuted for their faith, including active war zones.

Jacobson is a graduate of the University of Michigan. He and his wife Karen have four children and have been married for more than 20 years.

#59: SOCIAL INSECURITY Will the Tidal-Wave Retirement of Boomers Wash Out the Program? (Bob Chapman is in CST):The unstoppable freight train of government spending that has stoked the electorate and spawned the likes of the tea-party movement has brought longstanding, and only slightly dormant, fiscal debates to light again. Not the least of which is the debate about the long-term sustainability of Social Security.

Talk about bad timing. When entitlement programs like Social Security may soon be the target of federal budget hawks trying to erase Washington’s obscene, record-setting deficits, the Baby Boomer generation is also turning 60.

The Social Security and Medicare Board of Trustees and the independent Congressional Budget Office both admit the program will begin to unravel within the next ten years. But neither is willing to call the current situation a crisis . . . Are they misleading us?

Available for interviews to offer a straight-talk perspective on the solvency of Social Security is Bob Chapman, a seasoned economist and publisher of The International Forecaster, who is never reluctant to question the legitimacy of such government reports.

In your interview, Chapman can cover the issue from any angle . . . from Congress’ ongoing habit of dipping into Social Security’s surplus to offset general fund shortfalls—a practice that has come to be known in Washington as The Raid—to the down-and-dirty math of redistribution that sees 42 taxpayers for every one S.S. recipient when the program started down to two taxpayers for every one recipient in just the next few years.

Call Special Guests to arrange an interview with Bob Chapman today, and find out if it’s time for your audience to pressure their Representatives and Senators into doing something about Social Security now . . . before the tidal wave of Boomer retirement hits.

ROBERT J. CHAPMAN BIOGRAPHY:

Mr. Chapman is 73 years old. He was born in Boston, MA, and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, one year in Canada and another year in the Bahamas.

Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.

From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.

Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.

Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.

In 1976, after the Soweto riots, Mr. Chapman began buying North American shares exclusively for his clients. Up to that point only a handful of American and Canadian issues interested him, due to the high dividends the South African shares had paid out over the years. Between 1976 and 1988 his business surged from 1,000 to 6,000 clients, so the bulk of his business ended up being Vancouver Stock Exchange issues. For this reason he is very conversant with the quality of management, geologists, properties and traders on today’s North American scene. He is well known.

From 1976 to present he has spoken and given workshops at over 200 business conferences worldwide, and has been on radio and TV thousands of times. Until his retirement he was always judged by the attendees to be one of the top three speakers and never once was lower than first in workshops due to his vast knowledge of the mining business and his grasp of worldwide financial markets and political scenes.

In June of 1991, at the request of business associates, and due to retirement boredom, he began writing the International Forecaster.

Over the past 40 years, Bob Chapman has immersed himself in the study of world politics and economics. His articles have run in more than 200 publications. His newsletter, "THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER,” has active subscribers all across world. Bob Chapman has conducted hundreds of workshops at business conferences and has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and television programs.

Some of his uncanny predictions include:

* Called the top of the market in April 2000.
* Predicted 9/11 or an event like that, nine months early, within 33 days of it actually occurring.

The notorious top-of-mind list of sites around the world with proven or suspected connections to radical Islam goes on for quite a while before anyone thinks of Turkey.

And yet, according to Walid Shoebat, a former Palestinian and Islamic terrorist himself, turned repentant, long-time U.S. citizen and Christian, Turkey is one nation most deserving of a cold, hard look from the international community.

For the first time, after watching their own be murdered without prosecution in case after case going back as far as 1987, Assyrian Christians inside Turkey are finally speaking up. The number of these cases could be as many as 50—all Christian leaders and all seen as dissidents by the Islamic government there.

Allegedly, the murder weapon is always linked to members of a militia group, or “terror squad” armed and directed by the government. And, in every incident, no arrests have been made. Now, the same individuals who have come forward have just as abruptly recanted for fear of retribution.

How many other dark corners of silent terror exist around the world? What is the motive? Just how real is this seemingly widespread, deadly aggression against Christians and other minorities in predominantly Islamic regions? And what does all this mean to the United States and the Western world still in a fog about Islamofascism?

Call Special Guests today to arrange an interview with Walid Shoebat. Your audience will undoubtedly be alarmed by what he has to share.

ABOUT WALID SHOEBAT…

Born in Bethlehem, Walid’s grandfather was the Muslim Mukhtar (chieftain) of Beit Sahour-Bethlehem (The Shepherd's Fields) and a friend of Haj-Ameen Al-Husseni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and notorious friend of Adolf Hitler.

As a young man, he became a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and participated in acts of terror and violence against Israel, and was later imprisoned in the Russian Compound, Jerusalem's central prison for incitement and violence against Israel.

After his release, he continued his life of violence and rioting in Bethlehem and the Temple Mount. After entering the U.S, he worked as a counselor for the Arab Student Organization at Loop College in Chicago and continued his anti-Israel activities.

In 1993, Walid studied the Bible in a challenge to convert his wife to Islam. Six months later, after intense study, Walid realized that everything he had been taught about Jews was a lie. Convinced he was on the side of evil, he became an advocate for his former enemy.

Driven by a deep passion to heal his own soul, and to bring the truth about the Jews, Israel and the threat of fundamentalist Islam to the world, Walid shed his former life and his work as a software engineer and set out to tirelessly bring the cause against the evil of Islamic Fundamentalist to tens of millions of people throughout the world: churches, synagogues, civic groups, government leaders and media.

Walid is the author of several bestselling books including “Why I Left Jihad,” “Why We Want To Kill You” and “God’s War on Terror.”

Walid is an American citizen and lives in the USA with his wife and children, under this assumed name. Walid has spoken all over America and the world including Chile, Mexico, Canada, UK, and South Africa. He has appeared on national television also all over the world including CNN, CNN International, FOX News, ITN, RTE, NBC, CBS, The 700, ABC and ABC Australia. He has also been featured on BBC radio 4, 5 and the largest radio audience on the BBC World Service reaching 180 million people.

Walid has the unique insight so as people can now fully understand the issue of terrorism from the perspective of someone who was once a terrorist.

Walid Shoebat has given lectures at Harvard Law School and Columbia University, and has also spoken at Oxford University UK, National Constitution Center, Capitol Hill, UCLA, USC, University of Georgia, Washington University, Penn State, and San Diego State University.

#61: SAUDI FOX: Prince #2 Shareholder of Fox News Parent!:In what pushes the boundaries of the strange bedfellows concept, what many Americans believe to be the last bastion of unbiased news media, free from the ‘Kool-Aid’ of liberalism and ‘political correctness,’ is now under the executive influence of a most unlikely owner.

And yet, as shocking as this truth may be for your audience, one Walid Shoebat, former Palestinian Terrorist-turned-Christian and an expert on the political culture of the Middle East, says it’s all part of a covert threat to the West that he has been exposing for years.

Alwaleed bin Talal, prince of Saudi Arabia and member of the ruling family of a Sharia-totalitarian government model of the highest order among Middle Eastern Islamic states, is now the SECOND LARGEST SHARHOLDER in Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. . . . Yes, that’s right, the parent company of Fox News!

So, while your audience chews on that for a while, Walid Shoebat is prepared to enlighten them to what he identifies as the other side of Islamic plans for destroying the West—the supplemental strategy to the more arresting and newsworthy practice of suicide bombings and terrorist aggression.

This kind of activity on the part of individuals such as bin Talal, who has also granted millions to the likes of Georgetown and Harvard University to develop their Islamic study departments, according to Walid, is a much greater threat for its ingenious passivity, untiring patience and, most of all, modus operandi that involves good ol’ American capitalism.

Gain more depth on this very troubling topic of Islam’s quieter, more covert attempt at world domination—including the logic behind why some believe Fox News should now be registered as a Saudi agent!

#62: HORNETS BUZZING AROUND ISRAEL Experts Fear a Regional War Is on the Horizon (James Hutchens is in EST):On this week’s February 11 anniversary of the Islamic Revolution—the day the Ayatollah promised Iran would do something to “stun the West”—Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced his country was officially a nuclear state.

Yes, some world leaders, including those in the Obama administration, dismiss Ahmadinejad’s new claim that Iran can now enrich its uranium to 80 percent purity—just 10 percent away from weapons-grade. And few are still buying his ongoing rhetoric that it’s all for peaceful, power-gen purposes. But regardless of all that, experts like James Hutchens, PhD., a retired U.S. Army chaplain, and president of the JerUSAlem Connection, say one thing is clear . . .

Iran continues to press towards a nuclear goal in defiance of the international community in a way that is entirely unnecessary if its motives truly are peaceful. And, needless to say, a peaceful nuclear ambition is becoming increasingly difficult to accept, given Iran’s on-the-record espousal of Israel’s “destruction.”

So, the topic of a preemptive Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear program is on the table once again, and picking up more momentum than ever with the clock still ticking away.

In the meantime, under this high-profile radar, another storm is brewing on the Israeli border. With the world’s eye on the Iranian nuclear ball, Hezbollah, with the help of Syria, continues to smuggle and stockpile weapons in the south of Lebanon.

Israel is saying Lebanon will be held responsible for any violence at the border, Hezbollah officials are barking that they’re prepared for any Israeli aggression, and Syria has stated that it will support its Hezbollah and Lebanese “allies” if and when another conflict breaks out like the Israeli–Hezbollah clash in 2006.

For all those paying close attention, the tinderbox is lit. The question is really about how short the fuse is. To get a compelling insight into this unnerving tension, a view on how Israel will proceed and a projection on the level of U.S. involvement, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with James Hutchens. Few are any closer than he to this critical subject.

HOSTS, PLEASE ALLOW THE REVEREND AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE HIS ORGANIZATION’S WEBSITE DURING YOUR SHOW.

ABOUT REV. HUTCHENS, PhD:

James M. Hutchens is President of The JerUSAlem Connection, International and editor of the foremost Christian Zionist online magazine in America, The JerUSAlem Connection Report. www.thejerusalemconnectionreport.us. This is the go-to site for all things Israel viewed from a Biblical standpoint.

Dr. Hutchens is on a mission to keep God’s purposes for Israel and the Jewish people a continuing, visible issue for all to engage. He is on the forward edge in the battle area of informing, educating and activating America’s Christian community on issues related to Israel from a Biblical perspective.

From his military experience, Dr. Hutchens is well acquainted with the concept of “Mission.” He came to faith in Christ as an enlisted paratrooper under the ministry of his unit chaplain. After college and seminary, he returned to the Army as a chaplain

Dr. Hutchens was decorated for personal bravery in Viet Nam, including the Purple Heart, as the first chaplain wounded in Viet Nam. He served with the famous 173rd Airborne Brigade, and later with the celebrated “Green Berets.” Dr. Hutchens retired from active duty in 1994 with the rank of Brigadier General. His personal account of service in Viet Nam, “Beyond Combat,” tells of his experience as a combat chaplain in Viet Nam.

Dr. Hutchens was ordained to the ministry in 1962 and has served, concurrent with his chaplain duties, as a church planter and senior pastor for over 24 years. His wife, Patty, is an exhibiting artist and professor at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Northern Virginia Community College system. The Hutchens have three married children and twelve grand children. The Hutchens tell their fascinating story of a life-long love for Israel in their book “Guilty: Keeping God’s Covenant of Love with Israel.” The “General” now brings his military leadership skills and pastoral devotion to duty to accomplish the mission of The JeruUSAlem Connection International. (TJCI)

TJCI serves as an advocate for Christian Zionism. It stands as one with Christians worldwide who are in agreement with what God’s Word says about Israel. As Christian Zionists, TJCI supports the modern State of Israel as the partial fulfillment of God’s covenant promise to provide a national homeland of the Jewish people. Through its Operation Aliyah, TJCI has helped bring over 80,000 Jews out of the former Soviet Union back to Israel. Dr. Hutchens, and the TJCI team, believes God’s future focus will be on the 6.2 million Jews in the Americas. TJCI’s Elisha Fund brings food, shelter and medicine to countless impoverished and needy Israelis – its Operation Life for Israel provides aid and comfort to victims of terror and supports sanctity of human life endeavors throughout Israel. Taking bombed out Bus # 19 from Israel around the USA helped to confront the anti-Semitism of Islamic Jihadist terrorism. For further information on these programs please go to our “Projects” page.

Rather than “replacing” or “superseding” Israel and the Jews as the covenant people of God, Dr. Hutchens sees Christians as having been “engrafted” into the family of God and thus joint-heirs of the covenant promises of God. He believes TJCI is called to restore an appreciation of the Hebrew roots of Christianity. He seeks to encourage all believers to wait with expectation “for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” These projects and purposes are carried out with an attitude of extending mercy because of the mercy we have received in Christ. [Romans 11:30-31].

The JerUSAlem Connection. Int’l is bold to believe we follow in the distinguished tradition of the “men of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” We believe a Christian’s perspective on what God is doing in Israel is a vital key to seeing the big picture of God’s plan and how he is operating in the world today. With this perspective, Christians have a sense of urgency to be used by God as never before. TJCI encourages you to be a part of living out that sense of urgency as a result of having a Biblical perspective on Israel.

Under Dr. Hutchens’ leadership, The JerUSAlem Connection’ Int’l stays current on all the issues regarding the Middle East and Israel on a daily basis and keeps an ongoing update through “The JerUSAlem Connection Report” online magazine. The “General’s” passion is to share the mission and vision of this ministry, which has been raised up “for such a time as

#64: VOTERS’ HARD RIGHT TURN Early Polls Show a Backlash Is Brewing For November (Bob Beauprez is in MST):The tea is boiling it would seem, as early polls in states with U.S. Senators running for reelection in 2010 show all of the incumbent Democrats—10 seats total—are already either trailing their Republican challengers, or sweating out a shrinking margin.

Bob Beauprez is a former Republican Colorado Congressman who can offer an insightful commentary on the remarkable grassroots political uprising taking place across the country right now. By merging his own personal experience in federal government with a background in realism, as a dairy farmer and community banker, that resonates with tea-party Americans, Bob’s perspective is quite unique.

One of the races that catches his eye more than others at this time is the dark-horse threat that former Congressman, John Hostettler, is currently posing to Senator Evan Bayh in Indiana. Hostettler has pulled to within a measly three percentage points of Bayh, a man who, historically, has been popular among his constituents.

But, as Beauprez asserts, anything other than recent history doesn’t matter anymore in America’s political view, as the status quo is choking on a new what-have-you-done-for-me-lately attitude among the disgruntled electorate.

“Massachusetts (and its upset election of Republican Scott Brown last month) nationalized every Senate and House race in the country,” explains Beauprez. “Indiana won’t be as much about Evan Bayh as it will be about Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. Right now, the voters aren’t happy with those individuals, and it’s getting worse.”

Meanwhile, another incumbent Democrat who is extremely unpopular throughout the nation, Senator Barbara Boxer of California, is also feeling the heat of a dwindling lead against Republican and former Hewlett-Packard CEO, Carly Fiorina. And in eight other states, similar incumbent Dems are behind in the polls.

Call Special Guests today to discuss this incredible political shift shaping up in 2010. Ask to schedule an interview with the candid and straightforward Bob Beauprez.

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:

Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it.

He was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950s.

The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught Bob a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.

After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.

During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.

The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.

Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.

While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.

While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.

In 2006, he was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.

Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).

Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.

#65: MORE ECONOMIC TREMORS Europe Is the Latest Epicenter in the Ongoing Global Quake (Andrew Barnett is in Australia):The tables keep turning and investors’ heads keep spinning. After a major dive for the U.S. dollar in the months following the 2008 global market collapse, America’s currency is now seeing some rebound, while the Euro appears to be ailing badly.

In fact, debt problems in places such as Greece, Portugal and Spain have economists’ equating those nations to companies on the brink of going out of business.

But don’t look now, say other experts. While the U.S. will probably see an economic recovery this year—mild, though positive nonetheless—most analysts see unemployment remaining stubborn at eight percent or worse, which could very well lead to another fallout by 2011.

When will it all end? Financial expert Andrew Barnett, the founder and CEO of LTG GoldRock, won’t go so far as to say the answer to that question doesn’t matter. But, as a guest on your show, he can enlighten your audience to a surefire investment strategy that is a virtual panacea for all the uncertainty Americans are suffering right now.

“There is one place in the world,” explains Barnett, “where the average person, mom and dad, college student, retiree—anyone—can make a nice living and build considerable wealth without worrying about interest rates or mortgage rates, being laid off, agonizing through unemployment, or even being at all reliant on the U.S. economy. We’re talking about the largest market in the world, where there is no recession, and there never will be. Where the largest banks and financial institutions make most of their profits and where anyone with a cell phone and Internet access can play.”

Call Special Guests today to arrange an interview with Andrew Barnett—or his colleague, Siimon Reynolds—and learn about the promise of trading in foreign currencies.

Not only will you and your audience be amazed to hear about the no-nonsense potential in the Forex market, but Barnett and Reynolds can site case study after case study of fascinating testimonials that prove how easy Forex trading can be.

“If capitalizing on the foreign exchange sounds too heady and complex,” Barnett adds, “consider this . . . 9.1 billion dollars is traded every day, and in Japan, one fifth of all Forex trading is conducted by Japanese housewives.”

SUGGESTED QUESTIONS FOR YOUR INTERVIEW:

• You’re a full time currency trader now. What did you do before, and how did you get started trading?

• I thought only big banks and international financial institutions could get in on trading international currencies. Aren’t they the only ones with enough resources to make it work for them?

• Don’t you have to have a lot of investment or risk capital to trade foreign currencies?

• I’ve heard horror stories about the Foreign Exchange Market. Don’t most people who get in it end up losing everything?

• If you’re so good at trading and can make millions doing it, why do you bother with a company that teaches others your “secrets?” Aren’t you just creating competition for yourself?

• What kinds of people trade international currencies?

• For the ordinary man and woman on the street, is it a full-time business, or more like a part-time business….or even just a hobby?

• You claim that people can be successful traders no matter what their background or education or experience. But that’s not really true, is it? Wouldn’t someone need at least some financial background?

• There seem to be a lot of companies claiming to have the “secret” to making it big in the Forex Market. What sets your company apart?

• How can we judge a scam from the real deal in Forex Training?

• You have your “7 Keys” report. Can you tell us quickly what those 7 Keys are?

• What are the three main attributes that a person must have to be a successful currency trader?


ABOUT ANDREW BARNETT:

Andrew Barnett is a multiple six-figure-per-year professional currency trader. He describes it as “the best job in the world…you don’t have a boss, clients, customers, overhead, or a schedule…”

To share the wealth, Mr. Barnett Founded and is the CEO of LTG GoldRock, a Forex Market Education, Training, and Mentoring company with over 2,000 Student/Members around the world.

After competing around the world as professional water skier, Mr. Barnett settled down to raise a family in his native Australia. But the going was tough and, through a friend, he was introduced to the world of trading.

He has never looked back, but didn’t find immediate success, either.

It took years of trial and error to develop the techniques and systems that today make him one of the most successful traders in the world. Part of that trial and error process was taking numerous classes, attending seminars and workshops, and reading hundreds of books on “how to” do it profitably.

He discovered one thing: there was no reliable source to give him a clear picture and everything he needed…there was always something missing. And one of the big missing pieces was ongoing coaching and mentoring. Being lectured about or reading about how to do it is one thing….being taken by the hand by a pro and being shown how to do it on an ongoing basis is another.

Based on the classes, research and practice trading every day, Mr. Barnett developed his own trading methods and systems for predicting the prices moves in the market. He ultimately expanded his concepts and systems into a system that anyone, regardless of age, education, or experience can follow. And has added to that a comprehensive, ongoing, coaching and mentoring program from a whole team of professional traders for his LTG GoldRock Student/Members. It’s a lifetime learning experience.

He now offers that opportunity to Americans through LTG GoldRock USA with a simple goal: Help those people who truly want a better life and lifestyle to learn, win, profit and have fun trading in the recession-proof International Currency Market.

#66: SHOWDOWN IN CHICAGO Major Gun-Rights Case to Go Before U.S. Supreme Court (Alan Gottlieb is in PST):This coming March 2nd, a 27-year-old Chicago gun-ban law will stand trial before the U.S. Supreme Court under a challenge brought forth by four Chicago residents, the Second Amendment Foundation and the Illinois State Rifle Association.

Though many on both sides of the contentious gun-rights issue expect the Justices to rule that the Second Amendment is indeed incorporated through the 14th Amendment, thus taking precedent over and blocking any state or local gun bans, Alan Gottlieb, Chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, is prepared to explain why this is, nonetheless, a paramount case.

“Anti-gunners know the Bill of Rights overrides local laws like this,” says Gottlieb, “and, even though they anticipate the Court will make this ruling, they are still lobbying to have the Justices leave enough wiggle room in their ruling to allow most, if not all, existing gun-control laws to stand.”

Gottlieb’s fear, like that of other gun rights proponents, is that the end result will pave the way for further gun restrictions—even if through similar legal finagling—especially given the current President who has proven willing to break his campaign promise that “lawful gun owners have nothing to fear . . . I’m not going to take your guns away.”

One of the Justices who will rule on the case is Obama nominee, Sandra Sotomayor. She is on record as a sitting judge, ruling that the Constitutional right to bear arms did not apply to the states. Where she comes down on this case will be telling.

At the same time, Gottlieb takes issue with Obama’s overreaching Attorney General Eric Holder who “aggressively detailed the Obama anti-gun agenda in public statements before the Senate Judiciary Committee.” These statements included a national, permanent gun-registration system, a new federal authority to prohibit gun sales to any person on the dubious federal watch list, and a provision allowing the government to confiscate guns from those on the list who possess them.

Bottom line, gun-rights advocates don’t expect the Chicago gun ban to be upheld, but that hardly means the fight is over. Call Special Guests today for an interview with Alan Gottlieb and get a well-informed insight on the latest gun-control scheme being played out on Capitol Hill and in courts across the country.

#67: MAJOR MARKET CORRECTIONS (Guest in Mountain Time):The stock market just took a major downward correction as gear grips the financial markets.

Conducting Talk Shows the topic of major market corrections is Swiss America CEO, Craig R. Smith who compares the historic stock market corrections with the corresponding corrections in the precious metals markets.

The following is list of the last six major corrections since 2003. During this time, gold has risen and average of 36%.

GOLD, 2003-2010:

Instead of getting caught up in the media hype over today's gold's price correction, look at the facts. The chart illustrates there have been seven major corrections in the current long-term bull market in gold since 2003:
1. 2003 - Gold at $382 dropped to $319 (-16%)
2. 2004 - Gold at $425 dropped to $375 (-13%)
3. 2005 - Gold at $536 dropped to $489 (-9%)
4. 2006 - Gold at $725 dropped to $560 (-22%)
5. 2007 - Gold at $841 dropped to $778 (-8%)
6. 2008 – Gold hit $1002 on Mar 17 then dropped to $786 on Aug 15 (-21.5%)
7. 2009-10 --Gold hit $1215 on Dec 7th then dropped to $1060 today (-14.6%)

Craig R. Smith stated, “This means we could see gold prices rise above $1,400/oz. before the next major correction, if this pattern continues.”

#68: VIRGINIA MAKES OBAMACARE STATE-MENT Votes to Make Government-Mandated Health Insurance Illegal (James Lansberry is in CST):In the current Obama administration’s diehard push for bigger and bigger government, no issue is shaping up to be more of an egregious example of force-feeding such policy than the issue of healthcare.

In the rising spirit of states’ rights pushing back, however, the Virginia legislature—controlled by a Democrat majority, interestingly enough—voted this week to make it illegal for the government to force individuals into buying health insurance.

Available for interviews on this subject is James Lansberry, vice president of Samaritan Ministries, who has been following the evolution of healthcare reform in the past year very closely.

While many legal scholars, including some Virginia state Senators who voted against the bill, believe such a state law would be toothless in any legal faceoff with a federal mandate, experts like Lansberry say it is the act of passing this legislation more than the outcome it would have at the federal level that bares regard.

According to Lansberry, being that this occurred so soon after the Scott Brown upset victory in the Massachusetts U.S. Senate race, it is obvious that the tea party movement is not done shaking Washington by the lapels.

By profession, Lansberry is a perpetual student of healthcare policy, and has had a vested interest in the progression of the reform process in Congress because of the impact it can potentially have on his Samaritan—an alternative, free-market healthcare coverage solution that currently serves nearly 14,000 member families around the world.

To hear more about Lansberry’s projection on the course of the healthcare debate going further into election year 2010, as well as the intriguing details about the innovative concept of healthcare sharing ministries, call Special Guests today to schedule an interview.

ABOUT JAMES LANSBERRY…

James Lansberry, president of the Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries, is a Peoria-based expert available to comment on a variety of issues related to health care, including alternatives to traditional health insurance, the economics of health care, health care public policy, health care and tax policy, and the health care industry in general. Lansberry also is vice president of Peoria-based Samaritan Ministries International. His articles have been published in Heritage Forum, the Journal of Modern Ministry and he has been interviewed by the CBS Evening News, U.S. News and World Report and the Washington Post.

#69: TOYOTA OUGHTA FIX THAT GAS PEDAL: Should Federal Government tell Automaker ho to Conduct Business or should Market Forces Fix the Problem:The Obama administration's Transportation Secretary is now backtracking on comments he made surrounding recalled Toyota vehicles.

During a House panel meeting, Ray LaHood said he would advise owners of such vehicles to stop driving them. This was interpreted by some to mean that the Federal government was increasing the pressure on the Japanese automaker while implying that it would be mandatory for owners of faulty vehicles to head for the dealership before continuing to drive them.

Already very skeptical of big government influence and motives, Bob Rinear, president and founder of InvestYourself, takes the view that any problem that exists would best be solved by the free market itself. “Market forces are very powerful,” Rinear says “and when you have a powerful federal government unnecessarily affecting those forces, nothing good usually comes from it.”

Rinear points to LaHood's comments as evidence. “LaHood had to clarify his comments for a reason,” Rinear said. The issue of the gas pedal is a serious one to be sure. However, causing undue concern, worry and anxiety for private citizens and businesses that already have a stake in resolving the problem shouldn't be the business of the federal government.

ABOUT ROBERT (BOB) RINEAR (pronounced reh-NEAR):

InvestYourself was founded in October 1997 by Robert Rinear, who owned several successful business ventures primarily in the jewelry industry. In fact, his introduction to the financial world began as the result of his experience timing the price of tangible assets, including gemstones, gold and silver, all on a daily basis—a talent critically needed to be successful in the jewelry industry.

As Bob Rinear saw the price of gold soaring in the late 1980s, he needed to find the causes of that move. What he found was intriguing. Political issues, global economics and even something as simple as the industrial output in Japan would move the price of tangible assets. He needed to learn more.

As he became more “in tune” with the global economic process, he noticed that one of his best customers traded stocks and options on a daily basis. With Mr. Rinear’s views on the overall economic situation and “Charley’s” ability in picking stocks, they found a winning combination. But it still wasn't complete.

Once introduced to the intricacies of the equity markets, it didn’t take Mr. Rinear long to realize that he had a knack for predicting the everyday flows of the stock and options markets. He began to attend trading seminars and training camps with the desire to learn how to make profitable trades on a daily basis.

One thing became abundantly clear—none of the classes gave him the total picture about how to accomplish his goal. Something was still missing in regards to how to make a living by trading stocks and options. Likewise, he realized that not all opportunities came in just stocks and options. Sometimes it was a quick move in precious metals or Treasury bonds. Other times it may have been a move in a currency.

Not to be defeated, Mr. Rinear slowly developed his own trading style that began to produce profits. After taking what he learned from the seminars and injecting his own methods of calculating stock movements, options movements, currency, real estate and Treasury movements, a successful concept emerged. He expanded this trading concept into a workable platform that anyone could follow. That was the beginning of his newsletter “Market Insight & Outlook” (now the Financial Intelligence Report). From those first few issues it became clear that the public would benefit from his years of research. He decided to offer it to the masses.

From that humble beginning a company called “InvestYourself” was created. Its main goal is to help investors of every experience level gain the investing knowledge necessary to win in a tough game that includes enabling investors to grow in their knowledge of real estate, stocks, bonds and finances in general.

#70: TEBOW AD ALREADY WORKING World Looking at Abortion Activists Differently Before It Even Airs (Bill Keller is in EST available only for national television):The Super Bowl is still days away. And, yet, the game’s Focus on the Family television commercial that will feature star college-football quarterback, Tim Tebow, is already rattling the cage of the abortion rights debate before it has even aired.

Available for interviews to discuss this remarkably controversial topic is Pastor Bill Keller, the world’s leading Internet evangelist and founder of LivePrayer.com, who says that the premature commotion is very telling of the real spirit behind the pro-choice movement.

Without releasing details, producers of the ad, entitled Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life, say the content spotlights Tebow’s mother who, while pregnant with Tim, contracted a disease that required drugs known to threaten fetal development. For that reason, doctors advised Mrs. Tebow to abort the child.

But she refused, and her baby boy went on to be so healthy, he won the Heisman Trophy and a National Championship as the quarterback for the University of Florida Gators.

When news that this ad had a spot reserved for it inside the upcoming Super Bowl broadcast, before an expected audience of nearly 100 million people, some 30 feminist and other abortion advocacy groups immediately went after the CBS network and pressured it to cancel.

Now, the resulting and rather loud backfire effect has these groups taking heat from critics who are not all pro-life, including Washington Post columnist and confessed pro-choice individual Sally Jenkins (see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/01/AR2010020102067.html)

As Keller frames it, “Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam, are under attack for taking a positive stand on life and its rightful celebration in a powerful Super Bowl commercial. Those who oppose the ad have finally been exposed for who they really are, which is not pro-choice, as they like to call themselves, but rather, pro-death and anti-family.”

For a very compelling look at how this television commercial has sent a shockwave through America’s cultural landscape, and how the reaction to it is completely changing perspectives on the abortion debate, call Special Guests to arrange an interview with Pastor Bill Keller.

#71: OBAMA TO CEDE INTERNET TO UN, ENDING FREE SPEECH? (Bob Rinear resides in NY):Just over a year ago, the Obama administration stepped into office, and one of the first things we heard about in the news was how there were so many "cyber attacks" on the Pentagon, and possibly our infrastructure.

This is old news, actually, since cyber threats have been with us since the early days of Internet use. But Obama is using cyber threats as an excuse to give away the Internet to foreign control. Why?

Bob Rinear, founder of InvestYourself and publisher of the finance newsletter, Main Street Market Watch, is available for interviews to share what he believes are insidious reasons for the grand giveaway.

Said Rinear, “Obama wanted to designate an ‘Internet Czar’ and give this non elected person the power to literally shut down areas of the Internet that he deemed ‘dangerous’. What Constitutes dangerous? Is speaking out about Obama's Socialist policy dangerous? What about freedom of speech? What gives this Czar the ability to deem what is dangerous, versus what the people might think is truly dangerous?”

Rinear contends that one factor involved with the seeming inexplicable giveaway of the Internet is because the main stream media were losing viewers to the Internet and their powerful buddies in government had no control over it.

“They hate the idea of a completely free medium of speech, where any man, anywhere can investigate any topic they chose,” Rinear opines, adding, “So they looked for a way to dominate the Internet and they used ‘terrorism’ and ‘cyber attacks’ as their excuse. Now we see Obama ceding more and more control of the Internet to the
‘International body’ which stinks out loud of Global Governance. We invented the Internet, and developed it. The members of the UN wouldn't even know what an Internet was had we not been pioneering Americans and made it happen. Now however they push daily for more and more control of it.”

According to Bob Rinear this is nothing more than another step toward the takeover of sovereign America.

“If you take over control of the last true medium of free speech, you have taken control of America. Does America want some politician from China making decisions on what can be said on our web sites? No we don't and Obama and his cronies have to be told in no uncertain fashion. Free speech is our right, and the Internet is our product. No thank you Obama, we are quite happy to keep control of it right here.”

#72: DEFICIT TO HIT ALL-TIME HIGH: $3.8 Trillion Budget and $1.6 Trillion Shortfall for 2010 --WSJ (Craig in Mountain Time):The US Deficit is set to hit an all-time high, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal that stated, "Obama's $3.8 Trillion Budget Forecasts a $1.6 Trillion Shortfall for 2010 Before It Drops.”

Even in President Barack Obama’s ‘optimistic’ proposal, he forecasts that there will be a whopping $1.6 TRILLION dollar shortfall this year. But then ‘magically’ the red ink will go down to about $700 billion, or 4% of the gross domestic product by 2013. However there seems to be no one on earth who knows just how the red ink can disappear, especially amidst the myriad of big government spending sprees and schemes currently being hatched by hatched by politicians who continually turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the massacre in Massachusetts, the growing number of Town Hall outbursts and Tea Parties nationwide.

Conducting Talk Shows on this topic is Swiss America CEO, Craig R. Smith who shares key economic insights with your audience who intuitively know much of what he has to say already, but are glad to have their internal thinking validated since many in the mainstream news media have failed to articulate their concerns effectively.

How does Obama's 2011 projected deficit compare to past administrations and current reality? Craig has the answer. "Is the deficit too large? Craig concurs with many economists who consider deficits in excess of 3% of a nation's annual economic output (gross domestic product/GDP) as unsustainable.

Craig explains that the United States' $1.56-trillion deficit this fiscal year is estimated at 10.6% of its GDP and that The White House forecasts that the deficit will stay above 3% of GDP for the rest of this decade. So by traditional economic measures, the present deficits are much too large to sustain. Should we worry? What are our options?

Craig gives the pros and cons including the opinion of a Los Angeles Times article that stated, “Slashing the federal budget now could tip the country back into recession -- and probably make the deficit problem bigger. At the same time, presenting a budget that is credible and has a realistic plan to reduce future deficits is important for reassuring holders of U.S. government debt. Failure to do so could heighten fears of rising inflation in the future, which could spark higher interest rates in the short term.”

#73: PELOSI PARTIES ON TAXPAYERS’ TAB Food, Liquor on ‘Business’ Flights Cost Americans $101,000 (Bob Rinear is in EST):After promising, once again, a government of transparency in his State of the Union address, President Obama may be wondering this week if he should’ve waited a few more days to bring it up.

Bob Rinear, founder of InvestYourself and publisher of the finance newsletter, Main Street Market Watch, is available for interviews to throw back the curtain on the travel habits of the Democrat’s current Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

A recent dig into her expense reports, following two years of jet setting around the world on trips advertised as Congressional delegations, has brought to light a disparaging truth. While no one can really point to any diplomatic achievements in Pelosi’s excursions, they can point to food and alcohol receipts totaling $101,000.

Counting fuel, maintenance, personnel and other expenses, this taxpayer tab goes on to eclipse the $2 million mark—a number that Americans, says Rinear, would find corrupt and unacceptable in any economy, let alone one in which the U.S. is facing double-digit unemployment.

“The hypocrisy is outstanding, almost surreal,” says Rinear. “Sitting in her position as Speaker, Nancy Pelosi firmly pushes for widespread social agendas that will further bankrupt the country. Yet, as her own constituents continue to lose their jobs, see their homes erode in value and struggle to make ends meet, she acts like some queen, to be pampered with all the luxuries available to the elite of the world.”

Rinear adds, “Pandering to the lower classes via high-cost government programs, precisely as the U.S. struggles with the single largest debt load in the entire planet’s history, while she and her delegates party hearty, is the ultimate in hubris. Every American has the right to demand that this outrageous spending of taxpayer dollars stops immediately, and a public apology is mandatory.”

For a closer look at this as a microcosm of overall government spending, and the further implications these practices will have on the economy, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Bob Rinear.

#74: ‘CRUDE’ POLITICS Obama’s Flip on Offshore Drilling Feels Slimy (Bob Chapman is in CST):Well, this time, during his State of the Union, President Obama managed to muscle through his speech to the joint sessions without having a Congressman blurting out, “You lie!” . . . But, needless to say, it wasn’t because the audience—both inside the Capitol and out—didn’t have to bite their collective tongue.

Bob Chapman is a seasoned economist and publisher of The International Forecaster who is paying very close attention to Obama’s policies and his words. And, like many observers last week, he took exception to more than one of Obama’s rhetorical claims.

On several counts, Obama stated a shift in his position on key issues, including offshore drilling that many argue would create hundreds of thousands of jobs, while lowering both fuel costs and America’s dependence on foreign oil that does its part to weaken our national security.

His pledge to “commit $2 billion to offshore drilling” appeared to be a total reversal from his past liberal-policy obstruction to the idea. But, as Chapman can point out, it’s hardly a willingness to reevaluate the issue or an exercise in compromise. After all, the devilish details reveal that Obama’s “pledge” is not to U.S. drilling, but South American, in the shape of a loan to Brazilian oil company Petrobras.

Moreover, for those who care to dig a little deeper into this offshore drilling flip-flop, there is a disturbing behind-the-scenes coincidence involving none other than George Soros, who made a few peculiar investment moves regarding his partial ownership of Petrobras just days before the loan was announced.

“Obama’s State of the Union address shows his duplicity in the case of offshore drilling,” says Chapman. “The U.S. government can fund Brazil and the investment interests of George Soros in that region, but he will not support funding offshore drilling for Mexico or the U.S. This also shows that so-called ‘peak oil’ is a scam.”

For a full-scale indictment of this ‘crude’ political move, call Special Guests today and arrange an interview with the blunt, but highly informative, Bob Chapman.

ROBERT J. CHAPMAN BIOGRAPHY:

Mr. Chapman is 73 years old. He was born in Boston, MA, and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, one year in Canada and another year in the Bahamas.

Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.

From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.

Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.

Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.

In 1976, after the Soweto riots, Mr. Chapman began buying North American shares exclusively for his clients. Up to that point only a handful of American and Canadian issues interested him, due to the high dividends the South African shares had paid out over the years. Between 1976 and 1988 his business surged from 1,000 to 6,000 clients, so the bulk of his business ended up being Vancouver Stock Exchange issues. For this reason he is very conversant with the quality of management, geologists, properties and traders on today’s North American scene. He is well known.

From 1976 to present he has spoken and given workshops at over 200 business conferences worldwide, and has been on radio and TV thousands of times. Until his retirement he was always judged by the attendees to be one of the top three speakers and never once was lower than first in workshops due to his vast knowledge of the mining business and his grasp of worldwide financial markets and political scenes.

In June of 1991, at the request of business associates, and due to retirement boredom, he began writing the International Forecaster.

Over the past 40 years, Bob Chapman has immersed himself in the study of world politics and economics. His articles have run in more than 200 publications. His newsletter, "THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER,” has active subscribers all across world. Bob Chapman has conducted hundreds of workshops at business conferences and has been a featured guest on hundreds of radio and television programs.

Some of his uncanny predictions include:

* Called the top of the market in April 2000.
* Predicted 9/11 or an event like that, nine months early, within 33 days of it actually occurring.
* Predicted the invasion of both Afghanistan and Iraq two years before they happened.

#75: CALLING OUT SCOTUS DURING SOTU: President Chastises Supreme Court in Front of Nation but what was the case about? (Bossie in DC/National shows only):During Wednesday night's State of the Union, President Obama singled out the Supreme Court, whose members sat right in front of him, for its ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission (FEC). While most people are aware the case involves McCain / Feingold, many are unfamiliar what prompted the suit.

In 2007, Citizens United produced a film called, “Hillary: The Movie” that was extremely damaging to senator Clinton. While the group wasn't prohibited from releasing the film, a court ruled that it was not permitted to advertise for it. Citizens United president, David Bossie, found this to be an infringment on the First Amendment rights of Citizens United. The Supreme Court agreed.

So what's so offensive about the film? Aside from featuring well known commentators like Dick Morris, Ann Coulter, Tony Blankley, and others it paints an extremely damaging – and hard to refute – portrait of then senator Hillary Clinton. Had it been released widely, it very well could have torpedoed her presidential run.

During the January 27th State of the Union, President Obama derided the Supreme Court's decision as having overturned one hundred years of law. Could there have been a personal element to his disappointment? After all, David Bossie was identified by name on Obama's Fight the Smears website during the presidential campaign. Click Here:
http://www.fightthesmears.com/behind_the_smears.html

There are two somewhat interesting asides to what happened at the State of the Union. First, Hillary Clinton was conspicuous in her absence and secondly, footage of then senator Barack Obama actually appeared in the film. In fact, Obama's attorneys attempted to get Citizens United to delete the portion of the film that featured him. Citizens United refused.

#76: SUPREME COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF CITIZENS UNITED (Bossie in DC/National shows only):The U. S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Citizens United allowing it to air documentary films and advertisements.

During his State of the Union address, Barack Obama lambasted that decision and dressed down the Supreme Court Justice but Justice Alito was caught on camera mouthing the words, “Not true.”

The following is a statement from Citizens United President David Bossie, a former chief investigator for the United States House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. Mr. Bossie is available for Talk Show interviews on this topic.

“Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing Citizens United to air its documentary films and advertisements is a tremendous victory, not only for Citizens United but for every American who desires to participate in the political process.

“As our case amply demonstrates, campaign finance legislation over the last two decades has imposed, as Justice Kennedy put it, a “censorship . . . vast in its reach.” By overruling Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce and striking down McCain-Feingold’s ban on so-called electioneering communications, the Supreme Court has made possible the participation in our political process that is the right of every American citizen – a right that had been severely curtailed under McCain-Feingold.

“This is a victory for Citizens United, but even more so for the First Amendment rights of all Americans. The fault line on this issue does not split liberals and conservatives or Republicans and Democrats. Instead, it pits entrenched establishment politicians against the very people whom they are elected to serve.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Kadish who have been incredibly generous from the very first day of this process. We would never have been able to reach the Supreme Court without their support. I also need to thank the thousands of donors who exercised their right to free speech to support Citizens United and this defense of the First Amendment.

“The Citizens United Board of Directors deserves a great deal of credit for recognizing the potential of this case and supporting my decision to take this fight head-on. I need to thank our legal team, beginning with Michael Boos, Vice President and General Counsel at Citizens United, and the leader of this tremendous legal team. That team included Jim Bopp, a man who has been fighting McCain-Feingold since its inception and did a phenomenal job with the early stages of this case. Finally, Ted Olsen, Matthew McGill, Amir Tayrani and the entire team at Gibson Dunn, are attorneys without peer and deserve a tremendous amount of credit for the work that they did on this case.

“Last and certainly not least, I need to thank my family for putting up with the long hours it took over the last four years to bring this case to the Supreme Court. I could not have done it without them.” –David Bossie, President of Citizens United

#77: GAY SOLDIERS 5X MORE APT TO RAPE: Lesbians 15x More Likely to Sexually Assault (Dr. Cameron in MT):Colorado Springs: Department of Defense figures indicate a gay was over 5 times more apt to rape a fellow serviceman than a serviceman was to rape a servicewoman! Gays’ extreme aggressiveness stood out in an analysis of the last two years of DoD statistics.

DoD reports logged 3,850 sexual assaults processed in FY2007- FY2008. Even under ‘don’t ask don’t tell,’ a gay soldier was the most apt to commit sexual assault. Similarly, a lesbian servicewoman was 10 to 20 times more apt to sexually assault another servicewoman than a servicewoman was to assault a serviceman. These figures held whether or not Family Research Institute or UCLA Williams Institute estimates of gays in the military were employed.

Available for news media interviews on this topic is Dr. Paul Cameron, chairman of Family Research Institute, Inc. of Colorado Springs.

“These statistics are on-point as to whether gays should be allowed to openly serve,” said Dr. Paul Cameron, chairman of the Family Research Institute, a think-tank in Colorado Springs. “In country after country – a gay teacher is the most apt to molest a pupil. Likewise, in newly released data from the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services, a gay foster parent and a gay adoptive parent is the most apt to molest a charge. Without exception, whether it is a teacher, a foster parent, or an adoptive parent -- a man is more apt to molest than a woman. Also without exception -- an adult who engages in homosexuality is more apt to molest a pupil, a foster child, or an adoptive child than one who doesn’t.”

“These findings – from official sources as the Department of Defense and the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services, as well as from compilations of newspaper stories – evidence a strong consistency. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” doesn’t work that well at suppressing homosexual rape. Imagine how bad it would be if gays could serve openly! Patriotic young men and women join the military to protect our country – not to run the gauntlet because gays are allowed to openly serve.”

His specialty is in sexual social policy and the social and personal effects of various habit-systems (e.g., drug abuse, smoking, homosexuality). He has advance expertise in philosophic, economic, and sexual factors as they bear upon personal & collective health and cultural viability.

Having received his Ph.D from The University of Colorado in Social Personality Psychology, Dr. Cameron is a leading expert on sexual and homosexual research, trends and behavior.

Since 1982 Dr. Cameron has been the chairman of Family Research Institute, Inc. of Colorado Springs. He has taught courses on human sexuality, counseling, marriage & the family, personality and gerontology.

#78: OBAMA TO END DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL: Giving Homosexuals Free Reign in the Military (Dr. Cameron resides in Mountain Time):Barack Obama promised to end the current “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in the U.S. Military, during his State of the Union address January 27, 2010.

Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado-based think tank, calls the move despicable, accusing Obama of caring more about protecting sodomy than soldiers.

Dr. Cameron is available with a rebuttal on Obama’s speech, with particular focus on the issue of the danger of allowing homosexuals in the military due to disproportionate number of homosexual rape in the military.

#79: SUPER CHOICE: Super Bowl ad to Celebrate Pam Tebow's Decision to give Birth to Heisman Trophy Winner:In a 30 second ad that will be featured during the Super Bowl, 'Focus on the Family' will be featuring Pam Tebow's decision not to abort Tim despite being told that doing so would be the only way to save her life.

CBS is not releasing any of the details of the ad, not even a transcript which has spawned much speculation but groups like NOW and NARAL are not at all happy with the decision, calling it an “advocacy ad”, which should be forbidden.

Available for interviews to discuss the controversy surrounding this upcoming ad is Chris Slattery, the founder of EMC Front Line Pregnancy Centers, who has a few ideas about why pro-abortion groups aren't happy.

Not unlike doctors and nurses who have life-changing experiences after taking part in an abortion, suddenly becoming pro-life, does an ad have the potential of achieving the same outcome by focusing on the exact opposite of that scenario? Is that what the pro-abortion advocates are truly afraid of?

The ad, which is likely to show people, in no uncertain terms, the consequences of an alternate course of history involving someone they've come to know, albeit in a one-way fashion, may indeed influence people. Nearly one third of the nation's population tunes in to the Super Bowl each year. Emotions run high and uplifting messages can carry lasting impressions.

#80: STATE OF THE UNION REBUTTAL: 23 Experts Available to Critique Obama’s Address:23 rebuttal guests are available to respond to President Barack Obama’s first State of the Union address.

Is America better off than today than it was one year ago when Obama took office? Any of our panel of 23 experts are available as your interview guest (s) to address this question as well as offer their perspectives on the real “state of the union.”

Bob Rinear, Economist and Publisher of The Financial Intelligence Report (in NY)
“In January 2009, unemployment was at 7.7 percent. In January 2010, it stands at 10 percent. In January 2009, the outstanding U.S. public debt was a whopping 10.6 trillion dollars. Today, it’s 12.8 trillion. January 2009’s foreclosure notices rendered 274,399. By December 2009, they rendered 349,519. Something doesn't add up when you compare what the White house tells us about the state of the union and the state of the economy with what seems to be taking place.”

Bob Chapman, Economist and publisher of The International Forecaster
“In light of the Scott Brown victory, Obama will reflect and blame the previous administration for his problems, and the can of worms he inherited, such as the situation in Afghanistan, the economy and the financial situation, which he and his group will ‘miraculously’ solve.”

Craig R. Smith, economist, Swiss America CEO and author
“Yesterday’s (Massachusetts Senatorial) election was more than just a Republican win and Democrat defeat. It was a major victory for American conservative values. It proves that Americans have gotten their voice back and that it is NOT too late to turn this great nation around. The U.S. dollar strengthened on the view that political gridlock may help slam the brakes on Obama’s socialist spending spree.”

Scott Wheeler, Executive Director of National Republican Trust
Scott’s organization contributed $100,000 in the Scott Brown Senate Race in the form of an independent expenditure. Not only does Scott give a tough critique of Obama’s first year, but he also wrote a book on Obama’s Czars and explains how Obama’s Czars mirrors Obama’s philosophy and agenda, which is a far cry from the US voter constituency he’s supposed to represent. (Scott Wheeler is only available for national programs)

Chris Slattery, founder of EMC Front Line Pregnancy Centers, the largest chain of crisis pregnancy centers in New York, warns that Nancy Pelosi is hinting she might use the so-called “nuclear” option, allowing the national healthcare bill to pass with only 51 Senate votes rather than 60. Said Slatter, “The pro-abortion provisions are morally wrong and would cost taxpayers millions. We have to be very vigilant to make sure no shenanigans are played in the coming weeks to push through a healthcare bill with a simple majority in the Senate. This is one of the fallback plans the Democrats are counting on to get this bill passed before campaigns really begin to heat up for November.”

James Lansberry, president of the Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries, is a Peoria-based expert available to comment on a variety of issues related to health care, including alternatives to traditional health insurance, the economics of health care, health care public policy, health care and tax policy, and the health care industry in general. Lansberry also is vice president of Peoria-based Samaritan Ministries International. His articles have been published in Heritage Forum, the Journal of Modern Ministry and he has been interviewed by the CBS Evening News, U.S. News and World Report and the Washington Post.

Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, warns, “Obamacare would allow the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to set-up and troll a health/gun database in order to take away firearms from tens of millions of Americans.” Pratt further warned, “Pelosi did say there's a ‘foundation in that bill’ they can work with. So Pelosi may just try to pass one big fix-up bill—using a ‘reconciliation’ bill that will only need 51 votes when it goes to the Senate—or simply break up the Senate bill into smaller pieces and send those parts to the President.”

Michael Letts, a leading fundraiser for providing bulletproof vests to America’s police officers
“Well, clearly, the name of the game is: jobs, jobs, jobs. Unfortunately, the promises of the President’s signature legislation, the $787 billion stimulus, haven’t been fulfilled. We were told last February that the American people must spend nearly a trillion dollars that we don’t have in order to keep the national unemployment rate at or below eight percent. Today, the unemployment rate sits at double digits. By their own standards, the stimulus didn’t work.”

Larry Grathwohl, the only FBI informant to successfully infiltrate radical organization, The Weather Underground. Larry determined that Obama actually shared an office with Bill Ayers:
“Obama certainly doesn’t understand the meaning of keeping a promise and this related directly to ‘Tran parity,’ which he no longer believes applies to himself. The horse-trading is out and out bribery in my opinion. He and his Democrat friends are, fundamentally, change. But I don’t think it’s for the better.”

Philip Zodhiates, marketing/messaging analyst
“Barack-Obama-pledged ‘change’ was cloaked in traditional patriotism, political moderation and transparency. Instead, we’ve been rushed toward oligarchy and government tyranny, which seeks to control every aspect of our life and businesses, regardless of the Constitutionality of such mandates. This is taking us rapidly toward the precipice of socialism and a complete lack of individual freedom. His stated patriotism has obviously been nothing but a farce. And nothing demonstrates better his lack of transparency than his lack of willingness to even prove he is eligible to be President. I say it is high time he prove he is a natural born citizen, as mandated by the Constitution, or step down.”

Burke Balch, Director of the Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics, associated with the National Right to Life Committee, specializing in euthanasia-related issues. Burke has been carefully following the ins and outs of the multiple-thousand-page health care restructuring bills, and is an expert on how they would ration lifesaving medical care. “Even if in a ‘scaled back’ version, it is clear that the President will push for the inclusion of strong cost-containment measures will force rationing, claims Balch, adding, “You can’t force Americans to spend less than they want to on health care, as the Senate and House bills would do, and expect that with less treatment the same number of people will survive life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Obamacare is a prescription for rationing the American people can’t afford.”

Darrell L. Castle, Vice President of the Constitution Party
“The state of the union in January 2010 is, in a word, dismal. The nation is fighting active wars in at least 3 countries with no vision of victory in any of them and no end in sight. The Nation's economy appears to be a catastrophe waiting to happen with unemployment over 10%, and foreclosures and personal bankruptcies at record levels. The deficit is running at $1.4 trillion per year and is projected to continue at that level for at least 10 years. Couple that with crashing tax revenue due to unemployment and you have a recipe for disaster and a state of the union that is dismal.”

John Zieglar, documentary filmmaker of Sarah Palin Unplugged
Zieglar contrasts & compares an Obama administration with a potential Palin Presidency

Lee Kaplan, Middle East Foreign Policy Expert
“The State of the Union under Obama can be encapsulated in four sentences: 1.) we are not better off than a year ago; 2.) we have Hamas making bolder and bolder moves in the Middle East with funding that they raise in the U.S.; 3.) we have Israel being forced to accept another Iran on its borders called ‘Palestine,’ as the Iranians threaten us with nukes; and 4.) we have a President who appointed a Homeland Security Chief who thinks she’s the dean of a parochial college somewhere as she call terror attacks ‘man-made disasters’ and takes credit when a miracle stops an airplane from blowing up killing many Americans.”

Robert Spencer, of JihadWatch.org
“Over one-third of the jihad terror attacks and attempted attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11 took place in 2009. This indicates that Islamic jihadists see Barack Obama as weak and uninterested in pursuing them. And they are taking full advantage. In terms of jihad attacks on America, the next three years could be catastrophic.”

Becky Garrison, religious satirist
“Are we the change that we’ve been waiting for? Perhaps Americans have been spending too much time praying for change to come from within the beltway instead of exploring ways we can enact change within our own communities?”

William Thompson, political independent and television producer
“It seems that each time I hear the President or Speakers talk, all they do is talk about how many new projects they are putting into effect—all at my expense. I suspect that Pres. Obama may have set back racial progress two generations with this redistribution of wealth plan and his attempt to underwrite non- and poor-performing people, projects and organizations—again, all at my expense. . . . I will be curious to see how Obama treats joblessness, healthcare, the Massachusetts Senatorial victory by a Republican, the war on terror, spending, the deficit, taxes, broken and unkept promises, and the overall failure of his administration to accomplish anything, even though his party controls both Houses of Congress.

Alan Skorski, author of Pants on Fire: How Al Franken Lies, Smears and Deceives
“Barack Obama took a situation that was teetering on trouble and led us right into it head first. He told us that Americans are not looking for handouts, just a small hand up, but is taking us into a nanny state with new and financially unsustainable programs. He has not earned the respect from our European allies as promised, rather their scorn and mockery. He offers great platitudes but no solutions.”

Micah Halpern, columnist and social/political commentator
“I am reminded of the famous quote by the great philosopher and communicator, Marshall McLuhan, who said, ‘The Medium is the Message.’ The most important element is always the presentation. It is presentation over message all the time.

Americans love a good show and Americans love the underdog. But Americans hate being hoodwinked and despise being misled. President Obama must now pull America back into his sphere and the way to do that is with real sincerity, not simply charm. He has to turn up the unity theme and play down the politics.”

Joe Turi, health insurance expert and consultant to small- and mid-sized businesses
“Daily, I deal with business owners who cannot get financing through banks that stole our money via TARP, just to hand it over in bonuses to their internal employees. Some of these business owners are going out of business, because we have federalized the auto industry and orders do not flow. Meanwhile, health insurance premiums are sky-rocketing even before ‘reform’ is passed.”

John Spisak, CEO of SolaRover and environmental policy expert
“Tele-prompter oratory and the cult of personality are no substitute for leadership. 2008 was a repudiation of George W. Bush and a GOP that lost its soul—not a mandate for 40 years of pent up liberal dreams. Obama provided an oratorical ‘cool-aid,’ devoid of solutions and substance, and then deferred to the congressional left. A recession-battered electorate has been forced to listen and learn and, in a tribute to Jefferson, are proving that ‘they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights’.”

Tim Miller, Presidential historian and publisher
“Obama has failed many opportunities and is in the middle of another (healthcare) failure by attempting too hard to work with the Republicans. He is so scared of losing the people he will never have the support from, that he is losing not only his base but also the independent voters. His promises to his base have mostly gone undelivered and the proposed healthcare package, as it now stands in the Senate, is not reform at all. And even that doesn’t start until 2017.”

Bill Salhus, author and Christian prophecy expert
“Obama’s Mideast foreign policy is making matters worse for America from a biblical perspective.” Bill can discuss the coming antichrist and how some believe Obama was a ‘type’ of antichrist.

#81: SO MUCH FOR PRO ‘CHOICE’ Dems Continue to Force Healthcare With Abortion Coverage (Chris Slattery is in NYC):From tea parties to town halls, for months, leftist Democrats in control of Congress have been in denial about the discontent among American voters across the country, trying hard to marginalize every last one of them. Now, with the election of freshman Senate Republican Scott Brown in, of all places, the traditionally deep-blue state of Massachusetts, these same Dems seem to be just plain stubborn about their agenda.

The signs of the times point to an American electorate that doesn’t want Washington’s healthcare reform proposal—especially if they can’t read it. And yet, flying in the face of that, House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) says she can get the Senate version of healthcare reform passed anyway, with a few changes and a legislative trick to circumvent the filibuster power of Republicans now reinstated by the Brown victory.

Available for interviews to discuss the latest bend in this past year’s roller-coaster-ride healthcare legislation is Chris Slattery, the founder of EMC Front Line Pregnancy Centers, who—like many, including Representative Bart Stupak (D-MI)—is incredibly dismayed with the current plan’s abortion spin.

During your interview, Chris warns that Nancy Pelosi is hinting that she might use the so-called “nuclear” option, the only strategy that allows a the national healthcare bill to pass with only 51 Senate votes rather than 60.

“The pro-abortion provisions are morally wrong and would cost taxpayers millions,” says Slattery. “We have to be very vigilant to make sure no shenanigans are played in the coming weeks to push through a healthcare bill with a simple majority in the Senate. This is one of the fallback plans the Democrats are counting on to get this bill passed before campaigns really begin to heat up for November.”

For a focused perspective on the issues, an informed projection on the political outcome and a compelling commentary on just what might happen if the Dems—under the influence of pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood—get their way, call Special Guests right now to schedule an interview with Chris Slattery.

#82: PREPARING MEN FOR OUR FUTURE: 2009 Showed the Best and Worst:Tough economic times invariably drive our culture to reconsider their fundamental priorities. When money is tight, what expenses are truly needful? In challenging times, where should we look for guidance? And with millions of breadwinners facing unemployment and an uncertain future, what does it mean to be a real man in a changing society?

The past year has provided a number of examples of American manhood at its best -- and worst. From the professional excellence of Captain Cheseley Sullenburger safely landing a crippled airliner in the Hudson River and the courage of Captain Richard Phillips surrendering to Somali pirates in exchange for his crew's release, to the untrammeled greed of Wall Street's Bernie Madoff and the imploding careers of politicians and athletes caught in adultery, Americans have seen what happens if we uphold the best ideals of manly virtue or abandon them to pursue illicit money, sexual adventure, or gross self-indulgence.

Available for interviews to provide a real-world perspective on preparing the next generation of men are Hal and Melanie Young, parents of six sons and authors of the new book Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys.

Hal and Melanie Young say that parents need to take an intentional and principled approach to teaching their sons what it means to be a man. As our educational system has responded to the demands of feminism and concerns about school violence, boys are finding it difficult to express their growing masculinity in ways that are acceptable to their teachers. Raising boys into men is not a job that can be left to schools and clubs, they say, but has to be tackled in the home.

According to the Youngs, boys are born with the seeds of masculine virtue - strength, energy, courage, adventurousness - that need to be cultivated to yield the kind of men we want for the next generation. Basing their response on traditional moral principles and their own experience raising six boys, Hal and Melanie reveal that much of what parents and teachers find difficult about boys is a basic misunderstanding of how they are made and how they should be trained. And part of this involves consciously providing boys with good and bad examples, heroes that will teach them more than guitar riffs, end-zone antics, and wisecracks.

Call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Hal and Melanie Young, authors of Raising Real Men, a book on parenting authority John Rosemond called "Just what the doctor ordered."


ABOUT YOUR GUESTS, HAL AND MELANIE YOUNG:

Hal and Melanie Young are the parents of six boys and two girls, ages 20 to 1. They wrote their book Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys, after more than ten years giving seminars and workshops on family and education issues, especially the challenges of raising boys in an increasingly feminized world. Their workshops have been enthusiastically received by live audiences from New York to Arizona and downloaded online by thousands of listeners in 57 countries world wide, and their fan base has grown to one of the top 6% on Facebook.

Hal and Melanie have published numerous articles on family policy issues, with pieces published by the Heartland Institute, the John Locke Foundation, the Foundation for Economic Education and the North Carolina Family Policy Council. Their articles have appeared in The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty, Carolina Parent, TEACH, and Homeschooling Today.

Hal also served three terms as president of North Carolinians for Home Education and served as a spokesman for homeschooling on CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, USA Radio Network, State Government Radio, and North Carolina Public Radio's The State of Things.

Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys is published by Great Waters Press.

#83: STATE OF THEUNION REACTION: Even “Scaled Back” Health Bill May Ration Care (Burke Balch resides in DC):Despite the end of a filibuster-proof Senate with the victory of Senator-Elect Scott Brown, President Obama’s State of the Union address to Congress is expected to push for passage of health care legislation. Even if in a “scaled back,” version, it is clear that the President will push for the inclusion of strong cost-containment measures to limit continuing growth in health care spending. Imposing cost-containment on private sector health care spending is both unnecessary and will force rationing, claims attorney Burke Balch, director of National Right to Life Committee’s Powell Center for Medical Ethics and featured speaker of the DVD Special, “Healthcare from a Pro-life Perspective,” available at: www.CleanTV.com .

Conducting Talk Show interviews rebutting the President on this vital topic, Balch challenges the conventional wisdom. He says that Obama’s assumption it is necessary to “bend the cost curve” because America cannot afford to continue to increase health care spending in the future as it has in the past is fundamentally flawed. Ironically, among the economists who have debunked this fallacy is the Obama Administration’s nominee for Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation in the Department of Health and Human Services, Columbia University health care economist Sherry Glied, who did so in her 1997 book “Chronic Condition: Why Health Reform Fails.”

Burke shares the facts with your audience: The percent of the average family budget devoted to health care (including what employers pay for employees’ health insurance) has steadily grown from 3% in 1940 to 17% in 2006. But as Glied’s book demonstrates, the trend must be seen in context. During that same period, the percent of the average family budget devoted to food declined from almost 30% to under 15%, because of ever-increasing improvements in agricultural productivity. Indeed, the percent of the average family budget devoted to the three essentials of food, clothing, and shelter fell from about 53% to about 33%. Consequently, the percent of its budget the average family spent for health care plus food, clothing, and shelter actually dropped from 56% in 1940 to 50% in 2006. As long as our free market economy continues to increase productivity, there is no reason why this trend can’t continue.

Balch says its one thing to increase efficiency by fostering greater competition among insurers and providers. But when government bureaucrats are empowered to limit what private citizens are allowed to spend for their health insurance, holding it below the rate of medical inflation – as under the bill passed by the Senate – the result is to force less treatment and poorer diagnoses – the kind of rationing seen in Canada and Great Britain.

Burke Balch has been carefully following the ins and outs of the multiple-thousand-page health care restructuring bills, and is an expert on how they would ration lifesaving medical care.

“We are seeing more and more evidence that common sense is right – you can’t get more for less,” Burke Balch says. “You can’t force Americans to spend less than they want to on health care, as the Senate and House bills would do, and expect that with less treatment the same number of people will survive life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Obamacare is a prescription for rationing the American people can’t afford.”

#84: ISRAEL IN ANOTHER ‘WAR’ Must Defend Itself Against Goldstone Report:The initial conflict took 22 days a little more than a year ago. But the reverb from it is still rattling the cages of an Israeli tiger tired of being attacked.

Back in December of 2008, Hamas began launching missiles into Israeli civilian territories, unprovoked. Israel eventually responded militarily, with an attack on Hamas and the state’s infrastructure. Like many similar Arab–Israeli conflicts in recent decades, the war ended as quickly as it began.

What followed was a U.N.-sanctioned inquiry into the use of force by both adversaries, as conducted by former South African judge Richard Goldstone (pictured). Shocking to anyone but those familiar with the confusing tendency by the international community to hold the Palestinians to one standard and the Israelis to another, the Goldstone report concludes that Israel is guilty of “war crimes” for terrorizing the Palestinian people.

As Israel prepares to deliver a stern rebuttal to the report—one that classifies Israel’s actions as a violation of international and humanitarian law subject to a U.N. Human Rights Council judgment—Avi Lipkin is prepared to field interviews for his unique perspective on the situation as a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and a former translator inside the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.

How can the Goldstone commission possibly see the three-week Gaza war this way? Is the international community in a policy war with Israel and, if so, why? How does Israel plan to respond, and will U.S. President Obama back its ally up?

For answers to these an other questions about the troubling issues related to the Goldstone report and Israel’s increasing role as one nation against the world, schedule an interview with Avi Lipkin by calling Special Guests today.

#85: IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE? Pelosi: Not Enough Votes to Pass Senate Health Bill (James Lansberry is in CST):In an eleventh-hour chain of events, the lights appear to be going down on Congress’ latest attempt at healthcare reform, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has publicly conceded that she can’t gather enough votes to approve the Senate’s version of a bill.

Available for interviews on this subject is James Lansberry, vice president of Samaritan Ministries, who has been following the legislative evolution of healthcare reform in the past year very closely.

Apart from the fact that he is, by profession, a perpetual student of healthcare policy, Lansberry has had a vested interest in the progression of the reform process in Washington because of the impact it can potentially have on Samaritan—an alternative, free-market healthcare coverage solution that currently serves nearly 14,000 member families around the world.

Just when the healthcare reform debate was getting dicey, with concerns that the Democrats were going to succeed in pushing the Senate bill through before it had time to be scrutinized, Republican Scott Brown won a huge upset victory in Massachusetts, grabbed the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, and derailed the Democrats’ super-majority train.

“Certainly Tuesday’s election has changed the face of reform efforts in Congress,” says Lansberry. “Right now, it is too early to say what this means for healthcare reform going forward, except that the pace will slow somewhat. Our prayer is that this means we will see a sound, bipartisan reform bill that will address the key issues of portability and cost, while retaining essential freedoms for choice in healthcare, particularly for members of healthcare sharing ministries.”

To hear more about Lansberry’s projection on the course of the healthcare debate going further into election year 2010, as well as the intriguing details about the innovative concept of healthcare sharing ministries, call Special Guests today to schedule an interview.

James Lansberry, president of the Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries, is a Peoria-based expert available to comment on a variety of issues related to health care, including alternatives to traditional health insurance, the economics of health care, health care public policy, health care and tax policy, and the health care industry in general.

#86: SUPER BOWL SMUT GoDaddy.com to Push the Envelope During Broadcast of the Big Game (Bob Peters is in EST):Apparently, CBS hasn’t learned its lesson. Six years ago, following Super Bowl XXXVIII, the network suffered a massive $550,000 FCC fine for Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” that caused a brief flash of her breast during the game’s halftime show.

Now, with indecency watchdogs like Morality in Media President, attorney Robert Peters, already on guard, CBS appears to be flirting with backlash disaster once again. Only this time, any benefit of the doubt it may have had regarding whether or not Jackson’s “malfunction” was not accidental, is out the window.

This time, the shock value has already been purchased. To the dismay of pro-family individuals like Peters, CBS has sold broadcast airtime to GoDaddy.com, a leading Web domain registrar well known for its sexualized TV ads. And, needless to say, given the stage of the most widely watched spectator-sport event in the world, GoDaddy.com is poised to turn the heat up a notch.

After watching previews of the ads, Peters warns parents in a recent Morality in Media press release that “it would appear this year’s Super Bowl ads may push as close to the indecency line as CBS network ‘censors’ will allow, which could be as close as CBS thinks it can get away with.”

And yet, Peters goes on to explain why “the content of (these) Super Bowl ads is not the only problem. GoDaddy.com also provides services to businesses that distribute over the Internet, free of charge and without proof of age, hardcore adult pornography . . . ”

For a thought-provoking view on the decline of media morals as exemplified in GoDaddy.com marketing and other current media trends, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with Bob Peters. All the parents in your audience will greatly appreciate his perspective, his knowledge and his conviction.

#87: POLITICAL SLUG IN HEALTHCARE Why the Gun Lobby Is Celebrating the Election of Scott Brown (Larry Pratt is in EST):Among the cheers outside of Massachusetts regarding that state’s surprising election of Republican Scott Brown to the Senate seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy, were those of gun owners everywhere.

Not the least of which was Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America (GOA), Larry Pratt, who had been pitching against the healthcare reform bills coming out of the House and Senate all along.

So, why was the GOA so occupied with the healthcare reform process? And why is the work not finished, in spite of the fact that Brown’s victory completely upset the Democrats’ super-majority apple cart?

Well, as Pratt points out in a recent e-mail alert to the GOA’s member constituents, apart from the Dems’ classic big-government, big-spend, big-debt plan that left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, the bill currently on the table includes provisions that would position gun ownership as a health hazard like smoking. Further, it would allow the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to set up and “troll a health/gun database in order to take away firearms from tens of millions of Americans.”

Now that Brown is moving into his new office, the GOA and other Americans are sweating a little less today over the possible forced passage of a bill they don’t want. But Pratt says House Speaker Pelosi and other leftists in Congress are not willing to let the bill die.

“Pelosi did say there's a ‘foundation in that bill’ they can work with. So Pelosi may just try to pass one big fix-up bill—using a ‘reconciliation’ bill that will only need 51 votes when it goes to the Senate—or simply break up the Senate bill into smaller pieces and send those parts to the President.”

#88: UNEMPLOYMENT STILL OVER 10% But Expert Puts it at over 20%!:Just when we were told a turnaround was around the corner, the labor department just reported that unemployment is still over 10 percent! This is far worse than expected.

Available to be your Talk Show guest on unemployment and the impact of the seemingly endless suicidal cycle of bailouts and other runaway government spending is Bob Chapman, editor and founder of the International Forecaster newsletter.

Said Bob, “Unemployment is not in the 10.% range that is being reported. True unemployment numbers are just over 20%. That’s because the official, the government’s statistics excludes those who are no longer collecting unemployment insurance, those who are discouraged and no longer look for work—and those who are working part time. But guess what? The average work week is 33 hours! Talking about lying with statistics!!!

Bob explains the ‘birth-death ratio’, which he has been writing about for years which is included in U6. That ratio is a projection (a.k.a. ‘guess’) by the federal government as to how many jobs were gained or lost in any particular month. If you extract that birth-death radio, you get unemployment of greater than 20%. That is the real unemployment and that’s what government refuses to talk about because their figures are bogus.”

During your interview Bob shares with your audience that in The Great Depression unemployment was between 20% and 30%. Bob also correctly predicted that Obama and Congress would call for another stimulus package in the two trillion dollar range to cover up the incompetence of the Administration and to assist politicians in office getting re-elected.


ROBERT J. CHAPMAN BIOGRAPHY:

Mr. Chapman is 73 years old. He was born in Boston, MA and attended Northeastern University majoring in business management. He spent three years in the U. S. Army Counterintelligence, mostly in Europe. He speaks German and French and is conversant in Spanish. He lived in Europe for six years, off and on, three years in Africa, one year in Canada and another year in the Bahamas.

Mr. Chapman became a stockbroker in 1960 and retired in 1988. For 18 of those years he owned his own brokerage firm. He was probably the largest gold and silver stockbroker in the world during that period. When he retired he had over 6,000 clients.

From 1962 through 1976 he specialized in South African gold shares. He and his family lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) and Johannesburg, South Africa from 1970 to 1973. During that time he did a great deal of further study into the South African mining industry.

Mr. Chapman belonged to The Traders Association for 25 years. He did all his own trading. During his South African years some was done directly through Johannesburg, but 95% was done through London brokerage firms. Hence, he has extensive contacts, both in London and on the Continent.

Starting in 1967 Mr. Chapman began writing articles on business, finance, economics and politics having been printed and reprinted over the years in over 200 publications. He owned and wrote the Gary Allen Report, which had 30,000 subscribers. He currently is owner and editor of The International Forecaster, a compendium of information on business, finance, economics and social and political issues worldwide, which reaches 10,000 investors and brokers monthly directly, and parts of his publication are picked up by 60 different websites weekly exposing his ideas to over 10 million investors a week.

In 1976, after the Soweto riots, Mr. Chapman began buying North American shares exclusively for his clients. Up to that point only a handful of American and Canadian issues interested him, due to the high dividends the South African shares had paid out over the years. Between 1976 and 1988 his business surged from 1,000 to 6,000 clients, so the bulk of his business ended up being Vancouver Stock Exchange issues. For this reason he is very conversant with the quality of management, geologists, properties and traders on today’s North American scene. He is well known.

From 1976
