I received the following note in an email from Heather Osborne, the leader of the Marion County [Florida] Teenage Republicans. This is an easy (and great!) issue to take action on, so please do so!
Dear friend,
A group of young Americans here in Marion County are concerned about the opening of the new Visitor Center in Washington D.C. scheduled to open in December and have begun to collect signatures for a petition to Congress. Designers of this $621 million "Shrine to Political Correctness" have deliberately omitted historical and/or religious aspects and facts about America's heritage. By this bold yet somewhat subtle action, certain Congress members are attacking not only historical truth and accuracy but also are attempting to stifle public religious influence.
Fortunately, we live in a country where "We the People" have a voice. If you are 18 years or older, please click here to find out more information concerning this issue and to sign the Visitor Center Petition; and, regardless of your age, please ask your family and friends to sign the petition also. This issue does affect our future. Thank you in advance for your support!
Best Regards,
Heather Osborne

Bob Conley on the Federal Bailout
www.bobconleyforsenate.com
My fellow patriot,
Everywhere I go on the campaign trail, people continue to ask me about my position on the Wall Street bailouts. This indicates a high level of frustration with our elected representatives in Washington, including my opponent Lindsey Graham (R), who voted to transfer over $700 Billion hard-earned tax dollars from the Middle Class to the nation’s top-tier financial power brokers.
I have said repeatedly that I would not have voted for any of the bailouts. Such plans amount to corporate welfare and go far beyond what is permitted by the U.S. Constitution and the intent of the Framers.
For every bailout, the wallets of American workers are picked three times: their tax dollars, higher inflation, and a devalued dollar. Meanwhile, they struggle with higher energy, food and healthcare costs while trying to cope with stagnant wages, job losses, and mounting personal debt.
I do not believe these bailouts were necessary to rescue the national economy or rebuild confidence in our financial system, as Lindsey Graham claims. Wall Street firms and banks were already taking corrective measures of their own by selling off their assets, scaling down operations, moving out of risky lines of business, and merging with each other — doing what troubled companies have always done when faced with a crisis.
Federal government interference with these self-correction mechanisms amounts to the socialization of Wall Street losses, while profits remain in private hands. This accelerates the dangerous trend whereby the rich get richer and too big to fail, while the rest of us get poorer and are forced to fail.
Far from restoring confidence in our institutions, every bailout diminishes confidence and makes recovery take much longer. American workers live by the rules, and they expect Wall Street and Washington to do the same. When they see their own government transfer their tax dollars to reward those who have broken the rules, not only is confidence shattered, but trust for their elected representatives is irretrievably lost.
South Carolinians and voters across the nation will have the opportunity to take corrective measures of their own on November 4. Changing the corrupt environment in Washington requires new leadership that understands the proper role of government, respects the Constitution, and allows the free market to determine true value.
Sincerely,
Bob Conley
p.s. -- My campaign is making progress with only a handful of volunteers. But taking down one of the nation’s leading liberty-robbing neocons, who has a warchest of $3.8 Million to spend against me, is a formidable undertaking. This is not a lost cause. I am just 9 points behind in the polls. Please consider making a donation to our effort. Together, we can have the voice of Ron Paul in the U.S. Senate!

YCLA Update
Pressing needs right now:
1. We need at least four more Answers Magazine subscriptions (so we can finish the current list of 10). Please subscribe today! Email me at rjmpilgrim@aol.com for more info.
2. We need a good subtitle for our YCLA site heading. The two best I could come up with are: "Serving and Inspiring Activist Youth for Principle" and "Creating and Mobilizing a Team of Biblicist Young People." Please let me know what ideas you have.
3. I have thought about it and have decided it would probably be best to have the advancement system in the Handbook be a part of a new program under the YCLA which could be called "BEAMS." It tenatively stands for "Becoming Energetic And Mobilized Servants." I'd like to have something in there which connotes principle, though (so comments are welcome)! It would also be great to have money to purchase new cards and literature, etc. for the purpose of the new operation.
Good opportunities coming up:
1. My siblings and I are going to be able to attend Kingsway Christian School here in Ohio. There is a good attitude of focus and excellence there and there should be some receptiveness to the YCLA idea. :-)
As well as a lot more! Please keep praying for us. Thanks!
