>The Citizen’s Convention: The Second Battle for Trenton Begins

>The Citizen’s Convention: The Second Battle for Trenton Begins
History in the Making: April 16, 2011
New Jersey’s First Tea Party Convention

On April 16, 2011, a consortium of New Jersey Tea Party organizations will conduct an historic statewide convention for all New Jersey citizens concerned about an out of control government that continues to operate at odds to the best interests and common good of all of its citizens.

The convention will be held at the National Conference Center in East Windsor NJ. While some details are being finalized, this historic first is open to anyone who shares the commitment to conservative and constitutional principles, lower taxes and smaller, smarter government

The up-coming 2011 elections in New Jersey are providing a unique opportunity to change the legislature in our state and restore New Jersey to its once proud conservative roots and common sense foundation. With only 4 states having statewide legislative elections this year, the eyes of the country will be on New Jersey.

In addition to presenting candidates who been vetted by Tea Party groups from all over New Jersey and who have committed themselves to conservative values, we will be conducting workshops for attendees to learn the nuts and bolts of political campaigns from some of the most successful professionals who are also knowledgeable about NJ politics. Attendees will receive precise instructions on how they can get their candidates elected.

One organizer stated, “We have an opportunity to reclaim our state and change the way government is run in New Jersey, but we cannot do it alone. As the first Battle of Trenton turned the tide of the American Revolution, we have a second opportunity to do the same thing: turn the tide on intrusive government and fight to preserve the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, except this time around we won’t be using guns, cannons, or bayonets.”

Said another, “That’s right, this time we have a much more powerful tool at our disposal: The Constitution. But, we need to use that historic document as it was intended to be used to protect our rights and our freedoms.”

The time for change is now. The reason is the same as it was almost 235 years ago: Citizens who have simply had enough of an intrusive bureaucracy and are committed to reclaiming our constitutional rights from a corrupt and abusive political power structure. Join us, April 16th, 2011 and be a part of history.

>The U.S. House of Representatives is likely to vote to block funding for President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare overhaul next week

>(Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives is likely to vote to block funding for President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare overhaul when it takes up a budget plan next week, House Republican Leader Eric Cantor said on Tuesday.

“I expect to see one way or other the product coming out of the House to speak to that and to preclude any funding to be used for that,” Cantor said at a news conference, referring to an effort to block implementation of the health-care law.

House Republicans aim to pass a spending measure next week that would immediately cut at least $32 billion from the government’s $3.7 trillion budget in an effort to trim budget deficits that could hit an estimated $1.5 trillion this year.

>AOL buys Huffington Post for $315 million

>AOL buys Huffington Post for $315 million
one small voice

Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington announced late Sunday that the site agreed to a $315 million buyout offer from AOL. This deal guarantees AOL will be closely watched not only by media observers but also by Silicon Valley companies.

The very liberal-leaning Huffington Post online news site has been one of the few internet content start-up success stories with over 1000 contributors and sizable ad revenue. AOL is the elder statesman of online access and digital content. It is also the owner of the “Patch ” local blog network which our own local Ridgewood Patch is part of.

It was less than a week ago that a document called “The AOL Way” was leaked showing how serious AOL is about its latest incarnation of the strategy to shift from a “technology” company to media company. Many industry insiders were caught unaware that people were still refereed to AOL as a “technology” company .

Its seems like only yesterday when we heard all this the first time with the much ballyhooed AOL/Time Warner merger. The merger marked the begging of the end of AOL network dominance and some would also suggest the the beginning of the end of the of the dot com boom turning AOL.com into the first dot bomb .

>Report from Tampico, Illinois on Reagan’s 100th birthday

>Report from Tampico, Illinois on Reagan’s 100th birthday

It was an inauspicious start to February 6, 2011–the 100th birthday of the greatest president of the 20th century, Ronald Wilson Reagan. Snow–just five days after the third-worst blizzard in northern Illinois history. Driving on rural interstates and highways is challenging when it snows, but luckily, the flakes stopped falling in the middle of the morning and I left Morton Grove for Tampico–127 miles away in Whiteside
