The Net Neutrality policy proposed by the Obama White House is set for a vote by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) on Thursday.

The President has not been quiet about pushing for internet legislation. On the campaign trail he made many statements like; “I will not take a back seat to anyone in my commitment to net neutrality.”

The internet legislation policy will encompass three key positions. First the government wants to make sure everyone has access to the internet and have set aside $7.2 billion in stimulus dollars for construction.

The White House is treating the internet as another entitlement program that every taxpayer should pay into so all residents can log on, explains Phil Kerpen of the Americans for Prosperity. One of the new rules proposes the government lays broadband cable in rural communities making access to the internet much easier for all Americans.

This will not only be tricky, but very expensive because there are not enough subscribers in rural areas to pay for the hundreds of miles of cable that must be put in place. Keep reading

Let the counting begin. In a few short months, the U.S. government will begin its accounting of the American people and illegal immigration activists want to make sure the count includes those here illegally.

In an effort to curtail funding and add additional state legislators, Senator David Vitter-R LA has proposed an amendment to the Commerce, Science and Justice Appropriations bill asking census takers a question about U.S. citizenship.

Pro-illegal immigration activist groups are concerned that the question could chill the participation by those in the country illegally.

Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) made the following statement regarding the 2010 Census count. “The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution clearly states that members of the House of Representatives are apportioned according to a complete count of each state’s residents.” Keep reading

San Diego patriots seek to repeal California’s cap and trade AB32 and patriots stormed the harbor in large numbers to show the country that as California goes, so goes the nation. California’s version of cap and trade AB32 passed three years ago and has strangled the economy and added to the state’s deficits.

As California’s bread basket sinks further into a dust bowl, citizens from the San Diego area came out in large numbers to show support for the farmers who are losing it all.

“Fourth-generation farmers are on the verge of bankruptcy,” said Dawn Wildman, Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition founder. “Not only is this government trying to put our farmers out of business in the name of the environment, but they are trying to push us towards global governance.” Keep reading

Now that the North County Conservatives has successfully engineered a meet and greet, they are preparing to open their homes for the holidays and break bread with men and women of the Marines.
They will be working with the 5th Marine Regiment at Camp Pendleton in order to open their homes to military heroes who may not be able to go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
If you are interested in providing “A Home Away from Home for The Holidays,” you can visit North County Conservatives website.
The group would like residents to keep in mind that many of the Marines living in the enlisted quarters do not have their own vehicles and will need transportation back and forth provided by their host families.
Lynne Miller, NCC member, offers this suggestion; “Because it can be a bit awkward being the only military person at the holiday table, NCC would like to suggest that all hosts consider having at least two military heroes join their family for their holiday gathering.”

It’s being billed as ‘A Time for Justice’ fundraiser. Nacho Ramos and Jose Compean will be headed back to court in order to clear their names.

The fundraiser in Huston, Texas will raise funds for their legal defense team and the agents hope to finally be granted a fair trial where all the evidence can be heard. The first trial that led to their conviction is directly tied to U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton’s refusal to disclose significant evidence and facts to the jury.

Both Ramos and Compean are seeking a retrial in Texas to clear their names. A new trial comes with a risk as the men could be convicted and sent back to prison. However, Ramos says it’s worth it because he knows the truth is on his side.

The families are looking to tip the scales of justice back into the favor of law enforcement and remove anxiety from other agents who fight the daily battles along the U.S./Mexico border. Keep reading

While many American families take pride in looking after their home life without the help of welfare programs, under the Democratic Senate Finance Committee plan, many of those families will find themselves relying on government welfare.

In a recent report from the Heritage Foundation, half the 29 million who will acquire health insurance will be added through state welfare programs.

Those proud families, who steer clear of the local welfare office, will now have to stand in line and apply with 14 million other families for Medicaid. Many Washington D.C. think tanks say the number collecting benefits from the government will top 90 million Americans by 2020.

Staggering indeed.

Under current guidelines Medicaid pays doctors and other providers 20-25 percent less money than private sector insurance companies.

Also it is worth pointing to a July Time Magazine article; “There are real questions as to whether the program could handle the strain of that many new clients. Already, it is difficult in some areas to find health-care providers who are willing to accept Medicaid patients.” Keep reading

Nearly two weeks after a group of illegal immigration activists stumbled upon prostitution in McGonigle Canyon in San Diego, there is little to show the community in the form of action.

The San Diego Police Department’s slow reaction has caused many to scratch their heads wondering why it is taking police so long to remove the illegal migrant campers.

“What are you doing out here?” asked one resident about this reporter. “If it wasn’t for you reporting this nothing would be done. I’m scared to visit the canyon any more.”

After several days of speculation, SDPD Capt. Rosario said there would be a mobile command van placed in the canyon as well as some quads and horses.

A quick visit inside the police mobile command unit shows a communication network, radios and a television for the officers who are stationed inside the van. Again, there was no word about the SDPD actually being on foot inside the canyon where the prostitution is taking place.

“We plan to have the van out there 24/7 for the next week,” Rosario said. “I have a feeling the prostitution is part freelance and part organized, but I’m not exactly sure.” Keep reading

California’s gubernatorial race is shaping up to be quite the battle and Whitman has chosen the agricultural industry get her over the top and into the hot seat in Sacramento.

The $32 billion agricultural industry represents more than 1,000 growers and food processors, and employs at least 90,000 Californians.

In a statement to the media, Whitman announced her agriculture leadership coalition team.

“California’s growers and ranchers are immense contributors to our state. They help feed our nation and they generate more than $100 billion a year in agriculture and related economic activity,” Whitman said. “We all want a strong future for California, and we must create a strong economy in which all of our key industries, including agriculture, can thrive.” Keep reading

The White House has announced a new program to help seniors next year. In lieu of a cost-of-living increase in their monthly Social Security checks, the Obama Administration has asked that $250 checks be sent out to curb the soon to be outcry.

For the first time in years seniors will not get a cost-of-living increase inserted into the monthly checks. Last year the Bush Administration doled out a 5.8 percent increase to Social Security checks.

Responding to concern that is sure to cause hardship, the President has decided to address the issue head on. “Even as we seek to bring about recovery, we must act on behalf of those hardest hit by this recession,” Obama stated. Keep reading

Congressman Luis Gutierrez –D-IL has begun the immigration bill drafting process and he claims there’s both support and votes for ‘compassionate legislation.’

Gutierrez promised supporters his immigration reform legislation would include keeping families together, protecting workers and finding an easy path to U.S. citizenship.

Sounds great if you’re in this country illegally. This move is in direct opposition to what the American people want. This bold move by Democrats will create more workplace anxiety among the unemployed, during a recession, and allow illegals to flood the already lagging jobs market.
