Anti-Tax Lobby Not Just in Kansas Anymore

"According to the Americans for Prosperity Web site, some 28 Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature signed a 'no tax increase' pledge with the organization," along with two Democrats, writes Dave Zweifel. He blames pressure from no-tax groups on delays with Wisconsin's state budget, now more than three months overdue. When these legislators "already had announced they had closed their minds -- even to an increase in cigarette taxes to expand health care to kids -- how really could there be compromise?" he asks. Americans for Prosperity, which held an anti-tax rally in Madison on October 17, has also been active in other states. In March, Americans for Prosperity put pressure on Kansas legislators as they debated their state budget. The group patched in calls from residents to legislators' offices, but "they weren't quite clear why they were calling in," said one office assistant, referring to the callers. "Something about state spending," but the Kansans "couldn't tell her who had made the call or any specifics on what they were told," reported the Capital-Journal in Topeka.

Fox news is trying to paint Ron Paul as a no chance candidate, although he has massive support everywhere but on the TV news media. The disparity between TV and Internet has reached Orwellian proportion. It has become crystal clear that Fox News is attempting to hijack democracy in this way. Ron Paul has raised more $ from PEOPLE, not PHARMACEUTICAL lobbies. (who are major sponsors of Fox News) The Pharmas have a stake against Ron Paul as he is for stopping the continued RAPE of the American population with their $100 a bottle medicines (USA) that you can buy for a nickel in south america. I think we should list their sponsors, and contact them to let them know what they are paying to support. Down with FOX news for their shameful Facist Warmongering Fear-driven bull dung.

Can I get some help saving America here folks? THANKS AND GOD BLESS US ALL Check out our next president, RonPaul2008 (dot com)
