Here's what Pennsylvania's Senator Santorum said in February, 2003, on a WVIA TV "State of Pennsylvania" call in program, "Talk to Your U.S. Senators", about his role in the Senate with regards to education and federal voucher programs.

On Paper Currency:

What most people don't realize is that Congress has only to take back their Constitutional authority to print and issue the paper currency.

If Congress took back their Powers, the "interest on the national debt" would be eliminated, and the federal government would have $9.93 tax free dollars on every $10.00 bill they print to turn back into Constitutionally authorized projects, such as US/Interstate Highways, maintenance of Post Offices, their salaries, etc. Best of all, we'd be in charge of how that money is spent through our Congressmen, there would be no state income tax, and our children wouldn't remain enslaved to the global money changers.

Another way to take back Liberty is to begin to promote and use Silver Liberties in your local area. See Norfed for more on this subject.

Enjoy!

Subject: The profit motive of war - A stacked deck!

Some of you are alot more astute at this than I. Take a look at the message below and help me out here:

If the United States Military, and their officers, are being used as bit players in commercial ads to sell "collector" playing cards, and the bankers and corporate board members are profiting from this war; Why are our representatives making us pay their bills?

Let's see: If I labor one (1) hour for a $10.00 paper bill which costs the Federal Reserve approximately $.07 to produce. That means that the Federal Reserve had profited $9.93 off the top of my labor.

The Federal Reserve, then instructs the IRS to take 20% of my $10.00; that means that the Federal Reserve used the IRS to take $2.00 for federal taxes, which leaves me with an illusionary $8.00 that I see as spendable cash.

Even though a deck of cards probably cost about $.20 to produce and can be bought at a "Dollar Store" for (probably) less than $1.00, I'm thinking about purchasing the deck advertised below. That makes the mark up on this $5.95 "bargain" for the "Iraqi 'Most-Wanted' Deck of Playing Cards"; $5.75.

This means to me that if I use the $10.00 bill I received for one hour of my labor to buy this deck of cards, it will, in reality, cost me approximately $17.88, the breakdown of which is as follows: $9.93* [Federal Reserve profit*]+ $2.00 [Federal Reserve IRS tax] + $5.95 [full cost of cards with the mark-up].

If I use two (2) $5.00 notes, the Federal Reserve's profit would be $9.86*; if I use a credit card, I suspect their profit would be around $9.99* (plastic is cheap). However, my using the plastic will further increase the amount of time (+/- 45 minutes) I would need to work to cover the additional $8.01!

If I buy this deck of cards with the $10.00 bill from my one hour labor, I will add approximately $7.88 to $8.01 to my debt - which I will have to pay for with equivalent labor.

From my purchase of this deck of cards, somewhere between $11.86 and $11.99 would profit the Federal Reserve stock holders who performed no labor, and I, my children, and my children's children, will become further indebted to the Federal Reserve for the "privilege" and "benefit" of using their currency rather than that currency which is Constitutionally defined in Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution.

And this time, they didn't even have to pay to advertise the product!!

Seems like those corporate entities on behalf of the Federal Reserve that used the New York Fire Department after 911 to market the NYFD line of hats and items of clothing, have now used the American Military to recruit additional "Debt Slaves" into their "New World Order"/Global governance by having them market "the 'Most-Wanted' deck of playing cards".

I can't help but to wonder if the families of the Iraqis whose pictures are on the cards in the deck will receive royalities on every deck sold?

And if Brig. General Brooks can demand pay for his acting when he advertised the cards on worldwide TV?

Are my calcuations correct?

Am I 'off center' with this?

Am I the only one that finds this despicable?
