My good friend Ugly Dog supports Ron Paul for President in 2012! As former Obama supporters, we learned a painful lesson we dare not repeat.

Restore America Now. Vote for Ron Paul in 2012.

For months, Americans watched the Middle East uprising, mass civil unrest in Europe and elsewhere without much concern. Long ago, I warned that these instabilities would find its way to America. That time is here.

From #OccupyWallStreet to intense gridlock in Washington, America is now facing a great collapse after decades of easy money, arrogance and ignorance. And growing numbers of Americans are now forced to take action.

In this video, I discuss current events, alternatives to Washington, #OccupyWallStreet, and other issues that affect America and the world.

America is in dire straights. Our national debt will soon eclipse a massive and unsustainable $15 trillion. Republicans and democrats in Washington refuse to honor their oath by making the right choices. Our military is overworked, overextended and far too costly. The incapable, destructive and useless Federal Reserve continue to promote itself as America’s super hero – but it only worsens our standing domestically and globally.

Americans have long suffered from the policies of its government and central bank. From numerous and costly wars to showbiz politics that do little to help us, there’s now a growing outcry against the sponsored suits who believe they know best for 330 million citizens. Washington and the Federal Reserve have shown Americans and the world their lack of discipline, honesty and commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the people.

Elections have failed to produce any real results over the last few decades. Americans have consistently voted for polished suits, handsome faces and elaborate speeches that simply recycle the past. Some will argue that the benefits are plentiful, yet one look at the numbers (debt, wars, policies, liabilities) and it’s easy to see that America has failed in good monetary and government policy.

Washington’s appetite for endless wars, occupation of foreign lands and irreparable debt is never a good thing for our country. And as we watch the establishment struggle for survival and relevance, the timing couldn’t be better to reconsider what government and money should be going into 2012.

It is my belief that all Americans must now look and think beyond the failed political and monetary structure that has created our dismal reality. The people cannot accept more failure from a broken system that cannot be fixed. Perhaps the Internet is now America’s only hope to restoring our country, currency and social structure. The elite will fight and claw their way to maintaining their power, but in the end, America can do better without them.

I urge you to reconsider what government and money means to you. I urge you to demand a better government and currency for your country, family and friends. I urge you to speak out against the status quo for destroying America, our freedoms and way of life. I urge you to have conversations with your neighbors about the state of our nation and its future.

Current events demand Americans to think outside the box. Imagine the America we all deserve, then tell someone about it. Share your ideas and thoughts. But most important, please set aside partisan politics. Our reliance on party ideals is partly to blame for our problems.

Dear Federal Reserve System: If you believe in what’s right, please stand with me, the US Constitution and others to make America better. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional. This is fact. Put your jobs on the line. Save the future of your friends and family. The American people are suffering from high energy and food costs. Our currency has lost more than ninety-percent of its purchasing power since 1913. This isn’t fair. It’s not right. It’s wrong. The American people are tired of being misled and lied to. The Federal Reserve will self-destruct at the heavy hand of Ben Bernanke’s policies. He does not have the power to right the destructive course we’re all on. Any hope for containing the damage caused by the Federal Reserve is beyond its control.

I urge you to do what’s right. For America. For your fellow citizen. For our future. Call for Bernanke’s immediate resignation. Be the change within. Be the solution to the problem. Stand up for the ideals of America. We can make our country whole again.

The US Government just breached its $14.3 trillion debt ceiling (translation: Washington is ‘officially’ broke). The US Dollar is at a three-year low (translation: fewer dollars to save, vacation, invest, shop, etc.). 90% of the Dollar’s purchasing power has evaporated since 1913. The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and others are calling for an increase to America’s debt ceiling. Just say NO!

Stop the Fed’s destructive monetary policy on the US Dollar. Support competing currencies in America under HR4248. Call 202-452-3000. Ask for Ben Bernanke’s office or public affairs. Tell them he’s fired. Demand accountability now! Time is running out for the Federal Reserve and the US Dollar. Both will self-destruct thanks to quantitative easing, the Fed’s $3 trillion balance sheet, and the many liabilities the Fed has no control over.

On July 4th of each year, millions of Americans fire up their grills for good food and good times. Only this time around, our country’s economy and the political establishment are in shambles. As of this recording, America’s national debt stands at over $13 trillion.

Ron Paul’s “Campaign for Liberty” sent out the following e-mail to its members yesterday and I’ve decided to share it here as well. If you care about revamping the failed social policies of America, taking back control of it and making it a truly free and prosperous nation, then please consider joining Dr. Paul’s movement:

Thursday, June 26, 2008

Fourteen days off the ground and the Campaign for Liberty’s new office is open, the phone lines are being installed, and we are busy at work.

Our membership is already climbing towards 100,000. Invite your friends and family to join the Campaign for Liberty with our new email invitation tool. Can we get to 75,000 by Independence Day?

In September, we will roll out a brand new redesign of our website, with lots of innovative features and extensive resources. Our Precinct Leader Program will engage the grassroots; our news service will compete with the likes of Drudge and Huffington Post; and our blogging network – far more participatory than what we have now – will be a hub for news and opinion.

Between now and then you’ll see important updates and specific plans as we progress toward our goal.

But the great culmination and official premiere will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on September 2. A grand rally is in store with speakers, musicians, and live entertainment. It will be a day to remember. Please join us. We will update you on the rally in just a couple weeks.

If we are to restore our Constitution and take our country back, we will do so only by the kind of sustained and organized action that the establishment hopes we don’t have the stomach for. As usual, you’re going to prove them wrong. We are in this for the long haul, and we have the tools – and the ideas – to win. As Congressman Paul has said, “No army can stop an idea whose time has come.”

For liberty,
The Campaign for Liberty Team

P.S. It’s no cliché to say that our country’s future is at stake. The Campaign for Liberty is preparing to lead the charge to rescue our republic and restore the Constitution. Every donation, no matter what the size, aids us in this great battle. We deeply appreciate every bit of help you can give us.

July 4, 1776 was a historic moment in American history. It was the beginning of breaking free of global tyranny and establishing the right to be a free and independent nation. The “Declaration of Independence” marked a triumphant movement to fight against British rule and establish America’s own identity.

From Wikipedia:

The United States Declaration of Independence is an act of the Second Continental Congress, adopted on July 4, 1776, which declared that the Thirteen Colonies in North America were “Free and Independent States” and that “all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved.” The document, formally entitled The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,[1] explained the justifications for separation from the British crown, and was an expansion of Richard Henry Lee’s Resolution (passed by Congress on July 2), which first proclaimed independence. An engrossed copy of the Declaration was signed by most of the delegates on August 2 and is now encased in argon[2] and on display in the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C.

The Declaration is considered to be the founding document of the United States of America, where July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day and the nation’s birthday. At the time the Declaration was issued, the American colonies were “united” in declaring their independence from Great Britain. John Hancock, as the elected President of Congress, was the only person to sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. It was not until the following month on August 2nd that the remaining 55 other delegates began to sign the document.[3]

US President Abraham Lincoln succinctly explained the central importance of the Declaration to American history in his Gettysburg Address of 1863:

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

Some 137 years later, America’s path to a free and prosperous nation would come to an abrupt end with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The Federal Reserve, America’s “Central Bank”, is like all others, a debt and enslavement machine. Our currency, the “American Dollar”, is backed by almost — Nothing. The primary backer of our currency is our perception, which has been manipulated through clever disguises, lies and slick-willy types to sell the public on a mass-scale game of Monopoly. Our currency is mostly created “out of thin air” by our government and the big banks which control our nation’s money supply.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was created in secret and packaged as a “solution” to aid our country’s businesses and citizens with a “sound” and “stable” currency platform to help grow our nation and foster new possibilities in America. Instead, it would soon be revealed that the Federal Reserve Act was just that — An “Act”. With the Great Depression in 1930, America received its first taste of the ineffectiveness and uselessness of the Federal Reserve.

Americans lost their homes, lives and freedom, all while greedy bankers and families profited from great hardship and setbacks. The reality is that America was “sold out” by President Woodrow Wilson to the interests of greedy families (Rothchilds, Rockefellers, etc.) in order to establish their long-term goal of world government and global enslavement to a phony and worthless currency.

America’s history as a once free nation should be a wake up call for everyone. Freedom is only an illusion in America today. When power and control falls into the wrong hands, many people will suffer as a result. This couldn’t be more true than the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. We are mostly a nation of slaves bound and controlled by money. The slave owners are the very people who enacted the Federal Reserve and control the nation’s banks and currency.

Can America become a free nation again? Yes, but not without bloodshed. The America we know of today is not much different than when it was controlled by the British prior to 1776. To regain control of our country, we must look to the past for inspiration and truth. In life, there are people who will stop at nothing to control the world. They are not satisfied with all their perceived wealth. The greatest power in humanity is the control of human life.

Will you stand for yourself and freedom, or accept a repeat of history?

There are many of people today living soulless lives: They cannot realize true freedom, success and happiness in life. They have been told all their lives that they’d amount to nothing, have little success or ever be truly happy with themselves and life in general. They’ve been deprogrammed by family, strangers and friends alike to remain uninspired and unable to harness any real passion for life and their existence.

My heart truly goes out to these individuals, for life ultimately becomes a chore rather than a mission. They cannot see beyond the confines of the boundaries they’ve established for themselves. They are unable to dream, imagine and grasp life in ways which empowers them with new and unknown capabilities.

How can any human being deny another the ability to prosper in life? To taste freedom and happiness? What are THEY afraid of? What do THEY fear?

If you are one these individuals, I’d like to ask that you take a moment and dream. Seclude yourself. Revisit your childhood. Imagine the days of when you saw yourself as a super hero, an amazing public figure or famed CEO. You can do it. Don’t deny yourself the possibilities that only you can realize and nurture.

Good luck.
