[Peninsula-Patriots] Short 12 riders as of midnight! IRS + More!

We only have 29 riders as of this moment. Our alternatives are to PAY more ($1650 /29 = $57!!!) OR to rent Enterprise vans and perhaps drive as far a Fredricksburg and take the commuter train (about $10 each way!) , drive to Richmond and take a Richmond Tea Party bus (if seats are still available) $20 from Richmond.  Tell me what you think!

 

One way or another, we will go! The rally is actually expanding. Amnesty will be included and Glenn Beck will also speak!   http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=378811b3c052d40a005861416&id=0f8d5e3967&e=d25b62a4aa

Don't be discouraged!   Sue

[Peninsula-Patriots] Stop the Amnesty Bills in Congress

Don't count on the House to stop this bill!
 

It only takes  a couple clicks to send a message as a minimum effort.  Sue Long

Subject: Stop the Amnesty Bills in Congress

Stop the Amnesty Bills in Congress
In her video interview with WND TV on June 12, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) explained how an amnesty bill could be approved by Congress by the end of July. Here's a key excerpt from WND's article that accompanied the video:
Bachmann explained, step by step, how a bill she believes conservatives should naturally oppose easily could be approved by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
"The Senate is going to pass a very bad bill. The House will pass what will sound like a pretty good bill. But I'm just here to tell you, it's a Trojan horse."
The lawmaker said the bill will say, "We're going to secure the borders," so all the Republicans will vote for the bill. Then the bill will go to a conference committee where it will undergo a dramatic change.
"The good guts of the Trojan horse bill will be pulled out," she said. "The very bad amnesty provisions will be put in the bill. The bill will go to the House floor, and it won't be Republicans that pass it.
"It'll be Nancy Pelosi leading all the House Democrats to vote for it, and just enough Republicans will vote for the bill and you'll have amnesty," predicted Bachmann.
She said that's been the strategy behind the scenes all along.
"I think the master plan of the ruling class that runs Washington, D.C., is to ram this bill through before the American people know what has hit them and before members of Congress even know what has hit them."
Bachamnn said there is only one person who can stop the master plan and that person is "you."
"I'm just telling WND viewers that if you sit this one out and you don't start hitting the phone lines and email, calling and visiting your representatives now and saying, 'No amnesty now, no amnesty ever,' we're going to have perpetual amnesty for illegal immigration."
She predicted that if amnesty becomes the law "the whole political system will change."
So, in a nutshell Bachmann is saying don't count on the House to stop amnesty, and also that the only way that amnesty can be stopped is by a huge outpouring of protest from the grassroots to Congress.
If you agree that amnesty must be stopped, email your representative and senators in opposition to any amnesty bill, then phone and/or visit them (or their staffs) with the same message. 
More importantly send the link (see P.S. below) to the article on JBS.org that has the same content as this email to your network of like-minded people and organizations and urge them to make use of the above links for contacting Congress.

Thanks.

[Peninsula-Patriots] IRS Protest - June 19th - Washington DC - Bus Reservations!

IRS Video

and next, the IRS will be in charge of our HEALTHCARE!

 

Please support the Tea Party Patriots IRS Protest on Wednesday, June 19th!

 

A bus can be available from various Middle Peninsula spots beginning at 7 AM on Wednesday, June 19th assuming there is sufficient interest and a decent weather forecast! We will be in Washington from around 11:30 AM until approximately 3 PM and will probably eat dinner on the bus on the way home, so you will want to pack your own vittles (lunch and dinner)! Everyone should be home by 7 PM! Reserve your seats at Meet-up or email rcsherrillj@gmail.com with the words 'IRS Bus' in the subject. Give me your name, number of seats you need, telephone number, and email address.   I will correspond mainly by email as calling takes time. If you wish to be telephoned about the status of the bus, email jean casanave  jcasanave@yahoo.com  or call her <with your telephone number (ten digits = area code + 3 digits + 4 digits)  and ask her to place you on the IRS BUS phone list!

By all means, pass this along to friends, neighbors and relatives!

 

More things to consider:

The Relationship between Obamacare and the IRS: 4 Frightening Connections

1. Obamacare gives unprecedented powers and authority to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) – the same agency that for three years was targeting and harassing conservative organizations.

2. Obamacare includes 47 major changes to the revenue code. According to the IRS Inspector General, these 47 changes "represent the largest set of tax law changes the IRS has had to implement in more than 20 years."

3. In order to implement all of these Obamacare tax rules, the IRS has requested funding for 1,954 new agents to begin in 2014.

4. Perhaps the most frightening aspect of Obamacare's expansion of the IRS is the fact that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the IRS are now working together to create a massive online database with personal
information. This database is the largest personal database the government has ever attempted. The database is called the Federal Data Services Hub and is a central portal where individuals' medical records, citizenship information, criminal records, and all of their tax information on file with the IRS will be collected.

The IRS must be reined in, not given more powers and authority. Obamacare is an unwieldy law that gives a dangerous amount of control and discretion to an agency that has already proven how untrustworthy it is.

This comes from Andy & Sue Sadler.

This is good news if you are concerned about health issues related to electric smart meters. There may be an extra charge if you opt for a radiation free meter. I don't think the amount of that charge has yet been determined. If you need to know more, just let me know.

Subject: Fwd: FW: Dominion offers Smart Meter Opt Out!

Dear Friends,
THIS IS EXCITING NEWS FROM THE TEA PARTY FEDERATION COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATIVE ACTION! PEASE FORWARD ...WE NEED TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE OPT-OUT!




KUDOS to the CoLA 'Stop Smart Meters Team'

Dominion customers CAN NOW OPT-OUT !

There are still questions about the fees mentioned below; under what circumstances could the disabled features (interim?) be reactivated; and we will continue to work on the grid security aspects of smart meters.


For those of you with different providers, use Dominion as an example to demand an OPT-OUT option from your own power company executives.

Many thanks to Susan Lascolette who lead this Federation CoLA effort for all her hard work and to Senator Tom Garrett who sponsored SB797.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


JUST IN....



Good news!!!! Dominion is now offering a smart meter
opt out! This option is only available to residential customers and you must
ask for it to receive it. They will not replace your meter with an analog
meter, however, we have been told that there will be no radio frequency
microwave emissions from the new meters which they are calling Non-Communicating
Meters.









According to Dominion, ?The Non-Communicating meters
are Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or Smart Meters with both the
two-way communications and data storage features disabled, the only recording
features retained are the minimum needed for monthly billing. Because the
Non-Communicating Meters? remote communication abilities have been
disabled, a Company representative will manually read the meter.









For the Interim Non-Communicating Meter Option, the Company
will not assess a separate charge to install and use a Non-Communicating Meter.
The Company plans to propose a charge for the Non-Communicating Meter Option,
which will be subject to approval by the State Corporation Commission of
Virginia.?









To sign up for the smart meter opt-out plan call Dominion at
1-866-566-6436 between 7 am and 7 pm. They will mail you paperwork to fill out
and return to them after which they say they will come out to your home to do
the meter exchange within 3 weeks.









Be sure to urge your neighbors to choose to opt out as well,
or the microwave radiation from their meters will run through your house (and
body) and impact you. Attached is a flyer and article on smart meters you can
use to educate them on this issue.

[Peninsula-Patriots] Fwd: Obamacare Opposition Day at the VA Capitol - MONDAY

More to do!  So much is coming at us and it all seems like NOW!   Consider this opportunity to make a difference.   If you're going, be back for our meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday evening at the Middlesex Sportsmans Hunt Club...

I have also heard that the states are now trying to dump their retirement pension plans, including health care, into "Obamacare" as a way of getting out of the debt.   Not good.  Rahm Emanuel is trying this in Illinois.

Please forward to everyone you know who hates Obamacare and could come to Richmond on Monday.. Medicaid expansion would be a huge step toward a single payer system.

 
STOP Medicaid Expansion
Monday, June 17th,1PM (meet up in conference room 5E 11AM)  
 
 Show opposition to expansion 
by helping to pack this meeting
 
"Rumor has it that the commission is caving to pressure"
 Supporters of expansion will be there in force
 
 
The Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission (MIRC) is comprised of five senators and five delegates plus two non-voting members from the Governor's office. The votes of only three senators and three delegates would expand this program by an estimated 400,000 individuals. Expansion would result in 1.3 million Virginians on Medicaid which is already one of Virginia's biggest 'Budget Buster Programs'. [It is beyond comprehension that our elected representatives would seriously consider a 44% increase in this welfare program]
On Monday we will be letting commission members know that nothing could justify this massive program expansion which depends on funding from the Federal government that currently borrows 43 cents of every dollar.  WE THE PEOPLE of Virginia have had enough!

How Did Your Senator Vote on the Amnesty Bill?
 
June 11, 2013
The U.S. Senate voted this afternoon on the Motion to Proceed with the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, S. 744. Normally, we would not score a vote on the Motion to Proceed, however, this bill is SO dreadful that it should not even be up for a vote.
Only 15 Senators voted to keep this terrible legislation from coming to the Senate floor, and many might try to tell you that they voted "yes" so that they can bring their ideas, through amendments, to the bill. We disagree with that tactic. The Senate needs to scrap S. 744 and start over. 
You can see how your Senator voted here — we need you to hold them accountable!
We know many Senators are not answering their phones, so be sure to enter your zip code below to e-mail your Senator with our provided talking points about their vote on the Motion to Proceed to S. 744. Then call your Senator, and if they voted yes, tell them you are disappointed that they would vote to bring this terrible, promise-breaking amnesty bill to the floor. If they voted no, do all you can to support him or her for this courageous vote! 
Pressure to vote for this bill is incredibly intense in Washington, D.C. The Senators, well-funded corporations and special interests supporting this bill are so desperate to pass it that they are either intentionally lying to mislead the American people, or they haven't read the bill.  That's easy to do with a bill that is more than 1,000 pages long. 
One lie we're hearing is that amnestied aliens will have to learn English.  As our friends at Pro English explain in this alert, that is completely untrue.
This document outlines the top twelve reasons Senators should oppose the Gang of Eight bill.  It contains excellent citations and resources.  Please share it with your Senators and other activists.  The top twelve reasons are:
  1. Fails to secure the border.
  2. Unfairly grants legal status to millions of illegal immigrants ahead of those following our laws.
  3. Threatens to bankrupt our already strained entitlement system.
  4. Contains dangerous loopholes that threaten national security.
  5. Cedes control of immigration law to the Secretary of Homeland Security and other unelected bureaucrats.
  6. Rewards criminals and punishes law enforcement.
  7. Expands government by creating new bureaucracies, authorizing new spending, and calling for endless regulations.
  8. Breaks our already dysfunctional legal immigration system.
  9. Contains earmark that benefits specific states, industries and interest groups.
  10. Dismantles domestic enforcement of our immigration laws.
  11. It is over 1,000 pages long.
  12. The Gang of Eight Oppose All Amendment that "upset" the "delicate balance." (In other words, there is no fixing this bill!)
Now more than ever, we need you call your Senators, visit them when they return home on weekends, attend town hall meetings, and visit their district offices!  Tell them that you oppose the bill, challenge them if they are in support, and ask them if they know what is really in this bill.  We can tell you from speaking to staffers on Capitol Hill that most of the Senators do not know what's in the bill. When they find out that they will be held accountable for it, they might back off their support.
If you live in Alabama, Idaho or Wyoming, you have two Senators who voted to stop this bill.  In all other states, one or both Senators voted in favor of further consideration of this terrible bill. Call your Senators and urge him or her to vote against the bill at the next opportunity!

[Peninsula-Patriots] Yard Sale Status

Greetings Patriots!

The weather is still iffy but at the moment, the forecast for tomorrow is favorable to go ahead with our yard sale and bake sale plans. If you have donations for either, you may take them to WaterPro before 5 PM today (Friday) or bring them early to Ruegers in Cobbs Creek  on Saturday. If that is impossible, give me (815-9329) or Marilyn Rainville (384-7638) a call or for the bake sale, Joyce Webb (694-8259).

Aside from donations, we especially need help setting up (beginning around 6:30 AM)  If you can be there for just an hour or two, it will make a big difference!  Rueger's is on Rt 198, just 2 doors north of the Post Office in Cobbs Creek. The sale will be set up in the back of the lost near the big yellow ice factory (where Ken Cuccinelli first addressed the Tea Party gathering 5 years ago!)

Thanks! Hope to see you tomorrow!   ~ Sue Sherrill

[Peninsula-Patriots] Fw: Town Hall 600 5 22 13 for board book.pdf Ground Water Mgt

Thanks to Sue Sadler for sending this. More government regulation on your groundwater use. This may eventually lead to private well metering. Now it seems more directed to users which extract more than 300,000 gallons of water per month. That can change very quickly. Keep in mind, water is one of the items of control. Many of the commenters are people we know from Middlesex, Gloucester, Essex and Lancaster Counties.

[Peninsula-Patriots] 'Audit'? the IRS Rally in Washington

I say perform an autopsy after we do it in!  Anyhow, there is a rally forming to support those who have experinced the heavy-hand of the IRS as the distributor of fear and intimidation for the Obama administration.  We would probably just carpool rather than trying to get a bus, but that remains to be seen. You can make your own arrangements to participate or let me know your interested and we'll see about getting together some car pools... Sue Sherrill  rcsherrillj@gmail.com  815-9329  PS If anyone knows anything about 'Tom Hinkle' here in Mathews, let me know... We need to get him or someone from FairTax to one of our meetings!

Patriots,
 
Are you ready to take a stand against the IRS in a big way? On Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from noon to 2pm, Tea Party Patriots is hosting an Audit the IRS Rally. 

We have heard from patriots all across the country that we need to show Washington in a BIG WAY that it is outrageous for a government agency to target groups and individuals based on their individual beliefs.

Will You Stand With Us Against the IRS?
What: Audit the IRS Rally
When: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from Noon to 2pm
Where: West Lawn of US Capitol

[Peninsula-Patriots] A wonderful testimony

This is one of the best testimonies I have ever heard. If you missed the hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee yesterday you should view this video. There were other wonderful testimonies also but this one was special. It explains what our Tea Parties are all about and the lengths to which this heretical government is capable of going to oppress those who are willing to call them out. I am thankful to be included among the patriots of the Middle Peninsula Tea Party. I think I can speak for the other members when I say that we stand side by side with Becky Gerritson. Please watch the entire video.

Subject: China's Purchase of Virginia's Smithfield Foods

 
Dear Friends, 
The proposed sale of Virginia's Smithfield Foods, America's largest Ham producer, to the Chinese Shuanghui company for $4.7 to $7.1 billion (WPost / VA PilotNPR) poses economic, food safety and national security perils for Virginians and the United States.
Please read the letter I wrote to Smithfield CEO, Larry Pope. If you are concerned please see the ACTION ITEM after the letter.

May 31, 2013
Mr. C. Larry Pope
President and Chief Executive Officer
Smithfield Foods,
200 Commerce Street
Smithfield, VA 23430
[Via Fax 757-365-3070]

Dear Mr. Pope:
News that Smithfield is selling its company to the Chinese Shuanghui International has not been received well by my constituents, nor in my own family. While Shuanghui may purchase your physical plant and property, Smithfield's former reputation built up from 1936 will not transfer with the sale. Inevitably, the Smithfield "brand" will suffer, and regrettably, so will many Virginians.

The International Business Times (5/30/13) reported: In 2011, Shuanghui bought pigs raised on fodder containing clenbuterol, an addictive outlawed in 2002; in 2012, Shuanghui ribs contained maggots, and its sausages had excessive bacteria; in February, 2013 Shuanghui sausages were found to contain black threads, and in May Shuanghui sausages went bad well within the sell-by date.
In 2009, two executives at Chinese baby food companies were executed for selling infant milk powder and other products which contained the industrial chemical melamine that killed six children and left about 300,000 ill.
Unsurprisingly, recent Chinese visitors to Australia left store shelves bare of infant formula products prompting the NY Times (1/7/13) to note that Chinese consumer's search "for high-quality products can upend faraway consumer markets, particularly amid concerns about the quality of its food supply."
The Wall Street Journal notes, " Chinese food product imports to the U.S. are continuing to rise, but inspections in both China and the U.S. aren't keeping pace, posing a growing danger to consumers. ... Reports on the state of Chinese food processing establishments are discouraging. More than half of food processing and packaging firms on the Chinese mainland failed safety inspections in 2011." (WSJ 5/21/13)
China's widespread food safety problems are known to American consumers and will engulf Smithfield Food products regardless of the names under which they are sold. My wife, and probably most of her friends, do not buy any food products from China because of significant scandals (dog food, defective tires, baby formula, rat meat sold as lamb, etc.)
Smithfield's sellout to Shuanghui with its bad reputation will harm Virginia job holders, families, small Virginia pork producers unable to compete with a global giant, and yes, even our international Trade Balance as word spreads to homemakers and consumers about your sale of Smithfield to Shuanghui.
Additionally,* converting Smithfield from a publicly held company which has to provide CPA audited reports to the US Securities and Exchange Commission into a private venture will heighten suspicion of the food products produced by Shuanghui.

Further, although the Chinese Company said it will keep present employees and managers in place, what leverage would Smithfield have over future employment policies if Smithfield's American shareholders no longer own the company, or Shuanghui decides to change its Virginia corporate headquarters to Delaware which has no corporate income tax?
How will individual American consumers who may be harmed by Smithfield/Shuanghui, a Chinese company, sue in court when corporate giants like BMW and Mercedes-Benz were unsuccessful in their suits against Chinese car manufacturer, Shuanghuan, for making clones of their cars?
You claimed in the papers that there are no national security concerns from the sale of Smithfield to Shuanghui. I disagree. Armies run on their stomachs.
The Chinese government has been accused by the Obama Administration of cyber-theft stealing of sensitive defense secrets. I question whether this purchase by a company the size of Shuanghui is completely independent of the the Chinese Communist government. What kind of background clearances will be applied to Shuanghui employees who come to Virginia?
Smithfield can sell its products to China, but you should not sell "The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg." The sale of Smithfield to Shuanghui is not in the public interest, and I urge Smithfield management to establish priorities consistent with our national interest.
Sincerely,
bob marshall
Delegate Bob Marshall
ACTION ITEM: The sale must be approved by the Treasury Department's Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS). Last September, President Obama blocked Ralls Corp. from purchasing four Oregon wind farm companies near a U.S. naval weapons facility because of national security concerns. Ralls is a Delaware corporation owned by Chinese nationals.
CFIUS is sensitive to congressional concerns and inquiries, especially if they are citizen generated. Ask your Virginia Senators and Congressmen to share your concerns about this sale with the CFIUS and what they will do about this pending sale. For the most impact, write your federal representatives by June 20.
