Independence Caucus vetting fiscally responsible candidates in Colorado
December 19, 9:53 PM
A group of ordinary citizens from Utah shocked the political world last year by defeating a six-term incumbent and replacing him with a fiscally conservative candidate who was outspent six to one by his challenger. Now they are taking their model nationally with chapters in 45 states, including Colorado. Fed up with politics as usual, these citizens founded the Independence Caucus to replace politicians financed by special interests with fiscally responsible candidates who support Constitutional principles.
During the 2008 Utah Republican primary election, the Independence Caucus targeted U.S. Representative Chris Cannon, a six-term incumbent who had endorsements from President Bush, both Utah senators, three newspapers, and the vast majority of the state GOP establishment. Their goal was to replace Cannon with Jason Chaffetz, a candidate with no significant endorsements and little money. With the grassroots help of 1,000 volunteers, Chaffetz was able to beat out Cannon during the Republican primary by a vote of 60% to 40%. He continued on to win the general election with 66% of the vote.
Riding this success, the organization has gone nationally and has sent requests to more than 1300 candidates to go through their vetting process. This process starts with a candidate filling out an 80-question form followed by an hour-long teleconference where members of the Independence Caucus are allowed to freely ask the candidates questions. The group established the questions based on the fundamental reforms the membership sees as critical in endorsing a candidate. These reforms include fixing the nation's budget problems and taxation policies and restoring the country back to Constitutional law and the Tenth Amendment.
The questionnaire is designed as a simple yes/no format so that candidates must openly state their knowledge of Constitutional law and fiscal responsibility, and whether or not they will pledge to these issues if elected...full article

FairTax Needed~ Detroit in Ruins and what to expect for USA if Obama implements all the things he wants
Steven Crowder was on Fox yesterday and made an update on the 28%, saying it is now 50%. One out two people are jobless. It is also reported that the School Board tried to close unnecessary Schools and was met by angry crowds wanting to keep open. I imagine it has to do with jobs and threat of mixing these distressed communities children at such a time.
We need FairTax yesterday and get us back to work. Tell everyone to tell everyone.

Unions, liberal leaders, and the demise of the US auto industry have all taken their toll on the Motor City...unemployment in Detroit is now at 28%.

The GOP kisses the Rust Belt goodbye~Susan J. Demas |no Susan not GOP, RINOs
The GOP kisses the Rust Belt goodbye
by Susan J. Demas
Do the Republicans ever plan to win Michigan again? How about Ohio, Illinois or even Indiana?
Before the gang of GOP senators killed the $14 billion bridge loan for Chrysler and General Motors last week, they unleashed an ugly Southern snobbery about us Rust Belt rubes. And they just might have strangled their chances in here for years to come.
Let's not forget the GOP just lost the entire region to the man who will become the first African-American president, save for West Virginia. The Republicans only have one governorship here, in Indiana. Evidently, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell & Co. want to finish the job. full article

My comment:
Susan, you have sighted in the Big Gov Big Business RINOs(Republicans in Name Only)who have been herding the GOP for many years. They are better identified as Nationalists. Though we may differ on the constitutional power the Federal Government to bail out industry, you have given a clear view of not only the GOP but of the Democrats also. Neither have been for the interest of we the people.
How is it that this Grand Nation has been brought to it's knees. How is it the strongest industrial manufacturing center of the world is now, as you say, 'a rust belt memory'? Your right, Saul does get it and he nearly became the RNC Chairman, but the good ole boy Shadow, insisted on a strong RINO, Mr. Steele.
Now to the underlying fact that has had us all hoodwinked for many years. Since the introduction of Free Trade policy by President Reagan, we have watched and listened to both parties tell us that it is a good thing for us to lose jobs overseas, because we are so smart that we will replace them with strong service jobs and new technology. With the federal reserve keeping check our labor force to maintain an overabound number of workers, the family cashflow has dwindled to where it takes 3 wage earners to just get by.
When free trade kicked in, what was overlooked, in my opinion, purposefully, is the tax structure we had created under a 50 State free trade policy, inwhich the ever expanding federal government got it's revenue. These taxes were built into the price of domestic product due to the simplistic and tyrannical method of using business structure to control collecting tax. This has resulted in the handicapping of domestic manufacturing putting a 22%(now more) product cost on top of actual production costs, making foreign products a cheaper buy for consumers. We have not been on an equal trading floor since the 1980s.
An example of those who took advantage of raping America of Her jobs is Baines Capital. Romney gained huge wealth by cannibalizing American business and taking the contract order overseas to evade the USA Tax structure, including at State taxation level in Michigan and other States under the same production tax system.
The democrats are not blameless in this either. They embrace the production tax as a method of controlling the workers and distributing the wealth through the progressive income tax system.
Hope you were able to keep with me on this. It is a boring subject, but most important. The cure to our present plight of joblessness, especially in the Rust Belt is to change the Tax structure from production to consumption, lowering the manufacturing cost of domestic product by removing all taxes hidden and putting it onto a consumption tax, which will tax imports equally to domestic goods. Jobs will flood back to America.
Twenty some years ago, a group of scholars from the highest pedigree of schools gathered and spent 20 million dollars perfecting a new tax structure to consumption. This plan sits in both chambers of Congress ready to go on January first of the year it is implemented. It has around 80 co-sponsors in the House and has grown in popularity across the nation. As people study and learn of the value of this plan, they make it a Cause for saving America. It is not a party cause, it is an American cause. As of late, a President Obama State Coordinator has joined the chorus of supporters.
The plan is the FairTax plan, the same one that Governor Huckabee has as his platform for the Quest of fixing America. As the Governor has said, it is not Wall street we need to fix, it is Main Street. Please consider joining in this cause. A note of support for Saul Anuzis, he is a former member of the National Board of Directors for the FairTax Organization. I agree fully in your assessment of Saul as a superb leader. Your support in the www.FairTax.org Plan may just be the single event to push the plan up over the top and bring salvation to America.
In Michigan we are attempting to make our State busniess friendly too by pusing for enactment of the www.MIFairTax.org plan. Would you help?

Replace income and business taxes with the FairTax - the sales tax
By Bay City Times staff

Voice: R. George Dunn, Alger
What can be done, being as the MI House is set on raising taxes or bust, is change how we tax so we can start lowering taxes. At the same time, we can give us a small increase to keep us at a level amount, with need to cut yet.
• Make all services taxed by sales tax.
• Eliminate sales tax on used products.
• Move the Michigan Business Tax to the sales tax.
• Either repeal Proposal A for education or move all homestead school tax on property to sales tax and make it a voucher system with freedom.
• Put sales tax on food, but offset it for poverty by issuing credit or a check to every Michigan citizen on the poverty wage ceiling, in the amount of sales tax.
• Make Health Savings Accounts/Individual Retirement Accounts a state mandate, not federal.
• Resolve to the U.S. Congress our desire for the National FairTax Plan.
All this is needed to save us from what is coming with the dollar. We must center on being sovereign and what it will take to survive as a state, a nation of the republic.
As you have witnessed all the benefit those businesses are getting in tax exemptions, it seems only fitting to make it so everyone so we can get jobs, jobs, jobs. By eliminating the MBT and income taxes, the production cost of Michigan Manufacturing will decrease that amount. The more people working the more people spending.
Cutting out spending on a temporary basis is a must. You can put committees on emergency meetings only and stop them for a few years, like agriculture, DEQ, DNR, all of them. If I need to know how to can tomatoes, I can find it online.
I love Michigan. Don't make us have to leave. Act now.

Imagine, if you will, someone suggesting to raise tax on income or business at a time when Michigan is already at the bottom of the employment scale in this Nation, at a time when the last thing we need is for more business to be driven out. Rest asured, we are already a State that business will not come to, unless of course Lobbyists make it so you don't have a MBT. But if you add an income tax increase onto the entrepenouirs wanting to set up shop somewhere in America, will they come here to a communist system of graduating taxation on income? How about all the business without an exemption from the MBT? Where can they apply?
Nope, the best way to go is to make Michigan the most business friendly State in the USA by adopting the Michigan FairTax Plan. www.mifairtax.org
