GEORGE WASHINGTON STATED

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty teeth.



First Inaugural Address of George Washington...April 30, 1789

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Abraham Lincoln said:

"In this age, and in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it nothing can suceed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions."

James Madison Declared

The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the PEOPLE altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments not only as mutual rivals and enemies, but as uncontrolled by any common superior in their efforts to usurp the authorities of each other. These gentlemen must be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, wherever the derivative may be found, RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE ALONE. (Federalist Papers, No. 46, p.294; emphasis added.)

Health Care Bill...onset of Obama monarchy?

With the passage of "Obamacare" thanks to the Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi elitist government you can probably expect the following things among many other unforeseen things to happen in a poorly thought out (probably mostly unread) piece of legislation:

  • tax dollars will be used to pay for abortions; the executive order signed by Obama is not worth the paper its written on and will not stop the largest expansion of abortions that will be seen
  • health insurance premiums will rise by as much as 13% according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
  • small business will be stifled and will reduce jobs or forgo any thought of hiring new people to fill new positions
  • the Federal Government however will GROW by at least 16,000 new IRS Agents (at a minimal cost of $10 billion) to be the enforcement branch of this new piece of entitlement; just what we want, more government on our backs to make sure they get paid or they will fine, levy or I would not be surprised if they would prosecute some and imprison them. I guess this is what President Obama meant by CHANGE and SPREADING THE WEALTH.

So when you go to the polls in November think of these things before you vote and ask yourself is this the direction that you want your country to go? The future of your country, your and yours children's' liberties may depend on your choice.

Want to bet your life (your family's lives)?

If you feel uncomfortable with sidearms and feel that all the protection you will ever need is your local police force than this article is not for you. You can rest easy falsely believing that at any time and any place the police will come to your rescue and be there to save you and your family from injury or death at any time, night or day, seven days a week all year long....year after year.

If you are of a more realistic mindset and know that only you are ultimately responsible for your and your family's personal safety I recommend that you go to:

The irony of it!

In regard to Northwest Heralds "Bills lead to Easter in lockup".

The irony of Mathew Bunda going to jail because he missed two court appearances and could not come up with the bond after he could not pay his divorce attorney $18,000 is beyond belief. Several of President Obama's Cabinet owed thousands of dollars to the IRS and admitted it. How were they treated....got a new job...to be a member of the Presidents Cabinet and advise the President on how to run the United States of America when they can't even take care of their own "STUFF" in their own house. I guess that's what President Obama meant by "CHANGE"...hmmm?

Do the right thing....get fired!

Ron Schwartz, a Chicago-based attorney specializing in employment law stated." I think people want to believe their employer will do the right thing. A lot of times, an internal complaint is made and if the employer isn't sympathetic, the employee is fired. This just doesn't happen in Chicago, it happens right here in McHenry County in both private businesses and governmental agencies large and small. That is why we have "whistle blower laws" that not only are supposed to protect the whistle blower but a witness who might appear in court to support the whistle blower's charge or charges.

What happens in many cases is that before the case ever comes to court the witness of the alleged misdeed is gotten rid of, fired, discredited in some fashion so that if and when he/she does get to court they are discredited by the defendants attorney as not being credible. I know of at least two alleged instances when this perhaps legal but I believe unethical legal tactic has and is being used to protect the "boss" and the "boss's" boss. Now don't you feel better about the intrinsic goodness of our human nature and your fellow man or woman....hmmmm...bull.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE

As some of you may know I have had the privilege of being a member of the McHenry County Board of Health for the last ten years. The McHenry County Department of Health and its Board of Health has been serving the citizens of McHenry County for well over 30 years.

The history of public health in this country dates back to 1798 when Congress passed a law for the relief of sick and disabled seamen with the creation of the Marine Hospital Service and hospitals in many American port cities (sites of entry of many diseases from around the world). Gradually over many years the Marine Hospital Service evolved into what we know today as the U.S. Public Health Service.

The McHenry County Department of Health carries on the traditions and essential services that were developed over the last two centuries. These ESSENTIAL SERVICES are:
  1. To monitor community health status
  2. To diagnose and investigate health problems
  3. To inform and educate people about health
  4. To mobilize community partnerships
  5. To develop and enforce health and safety protection
  6. To link people to needed personal health services
  7. To assure a competent health workforce
  8. To foster health-enhancing public policies
  9. To evaluate the quality and effectiveness of services
  10. To research for new insights and innovations

The entire McHenry County Department of Health is out there every day to make sure that this county is a healthy place for you and your family.
