TSA DOWNRIGHT LAWSUITS - FROM THE HOME OF THE BRAVE

HOW CAN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT DO THIS TO US, DESTROY OUR VERY PRIVACY TO TRAVEL FREELY.
AND WHEN WE DON'T COMPLY WE GET MAN HANDLED LIKE CRIMINALS OR LIKE CITIZENS OF EAST GERMANY OF OLD, A COUNTRY WITHOUT FREEDOM. BUT OUR COUNTRY IS NOT THIS OR IS IT NOW SINCE THE MARXISTS ARE IN CHARGE WITHOUT THE CARE FOR THE VERY PEOPLE THEY ARE TO PROTECT.


If anyone can stop the police state, it is the people of the United States. The bigger picture is looking more and more like 1984. It is vital that we resist these police state measures and make our voices heard. We commend former Gov. Jesse Ventura for standing up to TSA and using his prominent name to fight back against clear bullying and intimidation by a government agency trying to expand its mandate for power. Others have fought the TSA, including a man in Seattle who recently won his suit over the right to use a camera. Moreover, the TSA had to settle with an Amarillo, Texas woman after their agents shockingly exposed her breasts and then laughedabout it.


Just as in Nazi Germany, we’re increasingly gearing towards internal passports, where we must satisfy on the spot inspection or be refused the ability to travel.


During one TSA pat-down procedure on Ventura that Jones witnessed at Atlanta International Airport, Ventura loudly proclaimed his disgust that the United States had turned into East Germany and that the America he loved and served in the military was dead, while TSA agents conducting the pat down merely smiled. They knew who Ventura was and that he was a public figure, but still subjected the former Governor to an 8 minute-plus invasive body search.


As The Drudge Report exposed months ago, Ventura has been groped during TSA pat-downs and is uncomfortable with the invasion of privacy, as well as the abuse of government power.


Ventura filed his lawsuit Monday, January 24, 2011 in Minnesota and news reports have named David Olsen as his lawyer. The former governor has indicated that his suit will include violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 4th Amendment, arguing that he and others with disabilities have been discriminated against and unduly singled out by TSA despite presenting no threat and warranting no reason for lawful search. Further, Ventura has argued that his ability to travel freely has been infringed, hampering his ability to work.

THE HONORABLE SEN. SCHUMER SCAM

THE HONORABLE SEN. SCHUMER LOVES TO ROLL IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING MONEY. HE HAS NO PLANS OR CLUE HOW TO FIGURE IN LOWERING THIS OUT OF CONTROL SENATORIAL SPENDERS. HAS HE CONSIDERED THAT IN HIS TENURE ALONE THE DEBT HAS GROWN OUT OF CONTROL UP TO $14 TRILLION. NOPE, HE WOULD RATHER PLAY THE BLAME GAME. WILL HONORABLE SENATOR YOUR GAME IS UP.


IF SACRIFICE IS TO BE MADE LET IT BE MADE HERE AND NOT ON OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. THIS SENATOR HAS NO SYMPATHY FOR OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. ITS ALL FOR HIMSELF AND NO ONE ELSE. ITS BUSINESS AS USUAL WITH THIS HONORABLE SENATOR. IF THIS IS SO THEN WE ARE DOOMED.

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the master political strategist for Senate Democrats, wants to turn Ryan into a bogeyman that voters think about whenever they hear about a Republican proposal to cut federal spending.


Schumer's strategy reflects an effort to revitalize a party messaging operation that many Democrats say fell apart after Obama won the White House. Senate Democrats face a daunting political map in 2012 and are looking to launch early, coordinated attacks on Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) new majority. 

Schumer’s strategy is to highlight the link between GOP efforts to cut as much as $50 billion from the federal budget and a “roadmap” to create private accounts for Social Security and Medicare that Ryan created.

“This is an initial volley in a three-day effort — 72-hour window — to try to muddle Paul Ryan’s foray onto the national scene,” said a senior Senate Democratic aide. “We want to make the House Republicans or Republicans at large own his roadmap and what it would entail for Social Security.”

 Ryan introduced a fiscal roadmap last year that would allow workers under the age of 55 the option of investing over a third of their Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts similar to the Thrift Savings Plan available to federal employees. He has also proposed raising the retirement age by one month every two years until it reaches the age of 70.

Ryan’s “Roadmap for America’s Future” also called for creating a voucher program to replace traditional Medicare and transforming Medicaid into a block-grant program. Under Ryan’s plan to transform Medicare, beneficiaries would receive on average an $11,000 grant to purchase certified plans on the open market.

Ryan argues this would allow market forces to control the spiraling cost of healthcare and reduce the frequency of government overpayment for services.

“It’s clear from the Republican Party’s selection of Paul Ryan to be spokesman and the decision to vote on giving him unfettered control on what to cut that [Republicans] are getting behind his plan, and that makes clear they’re coming after Social Security and Medicare,” Whitehouse told reporters.

BUILDING AN INFRASTRUCTURE TO NO WHERE

IF THIS ADMINISTRATION PLAN IS IN CAHOOTS WITH THE AFL-CIO UNIONS TO BUILD MORE ROADS TO NO WHERE WILL ONLY MEAN WASTEFUL SPENDING JUST LIKE THE READY SHOVEL JOBS THIS ADMINISTRATIONS PROPAGANDIZED. THE NEED IS ON CHEAPER ENERGY THAT CAN LOWER THE OVERALL COST FOR CONSUMERS. WHEN YOU BUILD ROADS WITHOUT ANYONE USING THEM FOR LACK OF ENERGY IS WASTEFUL INDEED.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS ON A WISHFUL PLAN WHEN THEY THINK CLICKING ITS RUBY RED SHOES THREE TIMES WILL REVIVE THIS ECONOMY.

THE NEED IS MORE NUCLEAR POWER AND STOPPING THE EPA FROM CHOKING THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE ECONOMY (COAL & OIL). THE RIGHTS FOR THE LEASES ARE ALREADY LAW. THERE ARE WAYS TO CREATE REVENUE WITHOUT EVEN A SINGLE CENT OF SPENDING. OPENING UP LEASING RIGHTS TO DRILL OIL. THE PRICE OF OIL WHICH HAS BEEN ON THE RISE WILL STIFLE WHAT IS ALREADY A MEEK RECOVERY. INSTEAD THIS TAX AND SPEND MENTALITY JUST WILL NOT END. LET THE PRIVATE SECTOR INVEST IN NUCLEAR ENERGY AND OIL AND WITHOUT ANYMORE GOVERNMENT SPENDING.

WHAT WE DON'T NEED IS ANOTHER UNION RUNNING BUSINESSES AND STATES TO THE GROUND.

“We need to invest trillions more to build the 21st-century infrastructure necessary for our nation’s and our planet’s future — high-speed mass transit, smart utilities and universal high-speed broadband,” said Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO.


“The House and Senate are going to have to figure out what the long-term bill should look like,” Horsley said. “There is interest in the broader House in cutting spending across the board. The downside to that is that that might well eliminate jobs when their broader objective is to create jobs.”

On Sunday talk shows preceding the president’s speech, GOP leaders said the public did not want more government spending.

“What the people have said is, ‘Enough: We’ve got to shrink government and cut spending,’ ” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Justin Harclerode, spokesman for House Transportation Committee Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.), said the chairman would be listening Tuesday night for “feasible, fiscally responsible” infrastructure proposals.

AERIAL SURVEILLANCE IS AMONGST US - WELCOME TO 1984

"Drones raise the prospect of much more pervasive surveillance," said Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project. "We are not against them, absolutely. They can be a valuable tool in certain kinds of operations. But what we don't want to see is their pervasive use to watch over the American people."

For now, only a handful of police departments and sheriff's offices in the United States - including in Queen Anne's County, Md., Miami-Dade County, Fla., and Mesa County, Colo. - fly drones. They so do as part of pilot programs that mostly limit the use of the drones to training exercises over unpopulated areas.

In a 1986 Supreme Court case, justices were asked whether a police department violated constitutional protections against illegal search and seizure after it flew a small plane above the back yard of a man suspected of growing marijuana. The court ruled that "the Fourth Amendment simply does not require the police traveling in the public airways at this altitude to obtain a warrant in order to observe what is visible to the naked eye."

In a 2001 case, however, also involving a search for marijuana, the court was more skeptical of police tactics. It ruled that an Oregon police department conducted an illegal search when it used a thermal imaging device to detect heat coming from the home of an man suspected of growing marijuana indoors.

Still, Joseph J. Vacek, a professor in the Aviation Department at the University of North Dakota who has studied the potential use of drones in law enforcement, said the main objections to the use of domestic drones will probably have little to do with the Constitution.

"Where I see the challenge is the social norm," Vacek said. "Most people are not okay with constant watching. That hover-and-stare capability used to its maximum potential will probably ruffle a lot of civic feathers."

At least one community has already balked at the prospect of unmanned aircraft.

The Houston Police Department considered participating in a pilot program to study the use of drones, including for evacuations, search and rescue, and tactical operations. In the end, it withdrew.
A senior officer in Houston then mentioned to reporters that drones might ultimately be used for recording traffic violations.

Federal officials said support for the program crashed.
