Ron Paul We Cannot Raise The National Debt

Ron Paul "We Cannot Raise The National Debt" January 03, 2011 News Corp
Ron Paul will be taught to our grandchildren in classrooms as an early 21st century patriot just as Thomas Jefferson is taught as a late 18th century patriot.

People who talk about medical savings accounts and tax deductions have no clue about people past retirement age, on fixed incomes. Apparently he is saying "heaven help us if doctors actually consult more with their patients." And this "death panels" business is crap. The real death panels are corporations denying benefits to people they should pay

Melbourne's Catalyst Clemente students celebrate

Proud family members, friends, educators and Mission Australia staff recently joined students of Catalyst Clemente Melbourne to celebrate the end of the educational program's final semester for 2010.

Ten students who studied the Introduction to Sociology unit marked the completion of a challenging and exciting semester, with one graduating with a Certificate in Liberal Studies on completion of four semesters.

Recent graduate Stephanie said that apart from all the written pieces, assessments and theory, Catalyst Clemente had changed her life and will definitely transform her future for the better.

Catalyst Clemente is a free educational program for people who have experienced significant barriers to education. It is run from eight Mission Australia sites in partnership with educational institutions, including the Australian Catholic University (ACU).

At the celebration, ACU Lecturer Sue Rechter shared the unique contribution of each of the students, and was then presented with a rose plant to remember them by.

Ms Rechter said she loved coming to the Monday afternoon lectures because, of all the students she taught, those in the Catalyst Clemente program were her "favourites".

Grant Levy, a first-time Learning Partner from Lander and Rogers Lawyers, said he found his experience with Catalyst Clemente both challenging and rewarding.

Although students are taking a break from lectures and Learning Partner sessions until March, they remain excited at their prospects within and beyond the program.

Rand Paul: Thought Crime USA

Rand Paul: Thought Crime USA



In this exclusive never-before-seen interview with new United States Senator for Kentucky Rand Paul, the son of Congressman Ron Paul warns that Americans are being politically profiled for thought crimes, while the Obama administration, in particular people like Rahm Emanuel, is seeking to exploit crises in order to advance the big government agenda.

Paul pledges to support or introduce legislation that forces lawmakers to read legislation before it can be passed, flying in the face of ludicrous statements from the likes of Nancy Pelosi, who once stated, "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it." Paul also outlines his mission to reduce the national deficit and balance the budget, reduce the size of big government, and put a halt to the insane money-printing policies of the Federal Reserve, which have recently sparked a global backlash and a new currency war.

Senator Paul says that there is a growing unease across America, not just in the liberty movement, but amongst ordinary people he speaks with everyday, that America is in terminal decline, with its manufacturing and monetary foundations being rapidly eroded as our leaders tell us glibly that the answer is to go shopping and get in more debt. Auditing the Fed is a primary concern that Rand shares with his father Ron, along with abolishing many of its powers if not jettisoning the private institution altogether.
