Liberty Slate 2010 Money Bomb Today! Donate what you can!
Today there is an online Money Bomb to support Liberty Slate 2010 candidates for Congress. Liberty Slate is a grassroots effort to help garner support for constitutionalist and small government congressional candidates for the 2010 elections.
Linda Goldthorpe is a Liberty Slate 2010 endorsed candidate. Her limited government, pro-freedom stances and her nearly 20 years experience as a conservative activist has earned her the right to be called a true “Liberty Candidate”.
Please considering giving a donation to the Goldthorpe for Congress Campaign and help make this day a day to remember.
Today marks the one year anniversary of the passage of the Obama/Pelosi “stimulus” package, or the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” which cost the American taxpayer, nearly $800 billion.
On this anniversary of atrocious government spending, let us show the government what we really think of their “bailouts” by giving a generous donation to a true conservative candidate!
In Liberty,
The Linda Goldthorpe for Congress Campaign Team
Confessions of a Conspiracy Theory Junkie— by C.J. Williams
CONFESSIONS OF A CONSPIRACY THEORY JUNKIE
Carole “CJ” Williams

Conspiracy theory: “an effort to explain some event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have also managed to conceal their role.” – Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein
After considering the twists and turns along the road taken, and knowing full well how it is I’ve come to be the sort of person I am now that I’ve reached the ‘golden years’, I feel no shame in admitting that I’ve become a conspiracy theory junkie. In fact, so shameless am I in my guilt, that I’ll beat my chest like Tarzan and shout my confession to the world.
“I AM A CONSPIRACY THEORY JUNKIE!!!”
Worse, I’ve no remorse over the fact that my fingers have typed the truth of many conspiracies during the past several years, verifying that my theories and some others’ theories, which I shared with readers of my newspaper column, have proved to be reality, not merely theory.
You see, with the changing of the guard in the District of Criminals, the treachery of those who’ve insidiously contrived to destroy my Sovereign State of Michigan, my Constitutional Republic, the future of my children and grandchildren, and my independence has become more transparent. Actually, the move from covert to overt malfeasance is about the only area in which many of my local, state, and federal government officials have become transparent.
Conspiracy theorists have been around for quite some time. It’s only of late – with the phenomenal growth of the TEA Party movement – that the label has received such thundering derision, particularly from the gaggle of far left-leaning, Mao-hugging ‘Progressives’, who appear to have taken over the Democratic Party at all levels.

Have you heard of the Northern Michigan Liberty Alliance? Watch this video of my son speaking about it, then go to upliberty.com, great website for Upper Michigan conservative activists, we all should join.
Let Toyota fix their cars already!
Toyota makes cars. Toyota sells cars. Toyota answers for any problems with their product in the marketplace. Recently, when Toyota recognized a problem with some of their cars, they initiated a recall. Do you know why?
Toyota recalled the problematic cars because they wanted to avoid liability for any damage or injuries that may result from the problem with their cars. They didn’t want to go to court and waste resources defending lawsuits. The individuals at Toyota probably didn’t want the sleepless nights that result when you do something that hurts other people. There are a thousand reasons for Toyota to recall their cars. But, one reason is paramount: Toyota wants to sell more cars.
Following the recall of Firestone tires in 2000, Congress passed legislation requiring auto manufacturers to give them information on consumer complaints, property damage, injuries, deaths…even warranty claims. Our representatives in Washington demand to know all this. The man-hours, expense, and effort of providing this information must add a nice chunk to the high
prices we already pay for cars. Now Congress is investigating Toyota.
My congressman said, “We want to find out what Toyota knows about the sudden acceleration problem with several of their vehicles and we want to know what will be done to protect
consumers who are currently driving those vehicles,” Why? Why does the government need to know this? Where in the Constitution does it say that government even has the right to know
this? And, what use is this information to them, anyway?
Although it is a great coincidence that this governmental imperative on Toyota comes only a few weeks after the U.S. auto industry was… basically nationalized, I will not speculate. I am certain
of one thing, though. I trust Toyota to make better cars than my government. I trust Toyota more than my government. But, I may be wrong; I’ve never seen my congressman with a
wrench.
Video of Linda Speaking at the Onaway Candidate Forum
Linda spoke to a crowd of over 350 people yesterday at the candidate forum held in Onaway Michigan. After the forum, Linda attended a 5 county Reagan Day dinner and spoke to the crowd of 160 people celebrating Reagan’s 99th birthday, making the total of 1st district residents reached in one day over 500! Great Success!
Too harsh on Palin? Read…
My staff says I should not have been so harsh on Mrs. Palin in my previous post. I do apologize if I offended anybody. But, I don’t plan to remove it. I’m tired of smoke and mirrors.
If Mr. Stupak is “only supporting current law”, as he has repeatedly stated in NATIONAL newspapers, then why did we need his amendment? Government-funded abortion could have been attacked in courts based on EXISTING LAW. Why the big deal? Why?
My Letter to Sarah Palin About Stupak
Dear Mrs. Palin:
I am a lifelong resident of Michigan’s first district. I am a twenty-year conservative activist. I am also Bart Stupak’s Republican opponent. As such, I feel it is my duty to inform you of some misunderstanding you are entertaining about Mr. Stupak’s values.
Your recent laudatory comments about Mr. Stupak’s pro-life record are inaccurate. His “pro-life” stance has won him accolades–I even saw him on the blog of the pope, himself. However, we who live within his district know differently. Within the district, Mr. Stupak does not speak according to his pro-life, prima dona script. I personally heard Mr. Stupak say (in Cheboygan) that he would vote for the health care bill EVEN if it did not contain his magic amendment. I
have a recording.
In Escanaba, Mr. Stupak was questioned about why taxpayer-funded abortion is wrong. At that opportunity, he could have said that some people feel abortion is murder. “It is wrong to make people pay for other people’s murders.” He did not. He answered, “Most of the members think it is.” Huh?
The questioner also asked about abortion in the case of an expected deformity of the baby. Mr. Stupak said he would support taxpayer funded abortion in that case. Again, huh?
He’s said all along he was supporting current law, the Hyde amendment, which permits abortion only in cases of rape, incest or anticipated death of the mother. His approval for abortion in OTHER cases demonstrates that he is not only disingenuous about his support, he also does not tell the truth about why he pretends to express it. (I have a recording of this conversation, also.) His record on embryonic stem cell research also makes interesting reading.
During the past election season, Mr. Stupak’s opponent ( I was also on the primary ballot) received a rating of 100% from Right to Life. Mr. Stupak’s score was 24 points lower. Yet, he got the endorsement. This is neither honest nor proper.
Mrs. Palin, Bart Stupak’s pro-life stance is disingenuous. When you make such untruthful comments from the podium you are now paid to occupy, it damages the cause you claim to expound. “Going Rogue” would seem to imply departure from only one party line.
Could it be you’ve taken up another?
Sincerely,
Linda Goldthorpe
Republican candidate for Michigan District 1

Excellent evaluation of the “State of the State”

Michigan’s Blueprint for America
Behold the cratering of an economy, courtesy of one governor’s Obamaesque policies
February 5, 2010
by Henry Payne
http://article.nationalreview.com/424065/michigans-blueprint-for-america/henry-payne
Most Americans are just getting warmed up to the idea of a self-centered chief executive who has divined America’s future as a green economy and is brashly installing the industrial-policy tools to get us there. But we here in Michigan have been living it since Gov. Jennifer Granholm took office in 2003. On Wednesday night, the flashy second-term governor celebrated the “change” she’s brought to Michigan in her final State of the State address. Read it and weep.
To my Government: Look up INFRINGEMENT
My husband is the finest man I’ve ever encountered. In twenty years of marriage he has never intentionally hurt my feelings one time, and I’m a handful. He is balanced, calm, deliberate and responsible. Today he got a shiny, new Concealed Carry Permit so he may “legally” carry a firearm on his person. He is very pleased. I am not.
The second amendment to the US Constitution contains one of the clearest statements you’ll ever read, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” George’s right to bear arms has been infringed, and I’m not happy about it. He was onboard ship off the coast of Beirut when the Marine barracks was bombed. He was trained very well in the use of firearms, by the US Marine Corps. He is also a corrections officer. He carries a sidearm at work, and also carries a permit to identify his permission to do so. Corrections officers are trained and retrained.
George has educated our two teenage sons in the safe and responsible use of firearms, and they’re both crack shots. We live on a lake and in the summer I spend much time at the beach. We shoot pellets from our deck, at targets between the house and the lake. We have so many targets on the lawn, I’ve seen signs on my deck that say, “DON’T SHOOT MOM!”
Believe me, this man KNOWS what he’s doing. Yet, to obtain permission to exercise what our founding fathers recognized to be a right, he had to bear the elementary instruction, expense and inconvenience of taking a course in the use of handguns. This is infringement. The fact that the government expects to KNOW who is carrying a firearm is infringement. The fact that the government enters into it at all…IS infringement.
Family Rights Website Suggestion
My friend’s infant developed a skin tag on his lower back, near his bottom. The medical examinations exposed the growth to some busybody who decided the baby had been abused! Untold horror ensued at their house.
A single mom with two young boys voluntarily sought parenting advice from a local agency after an early morning incident with her 10 year-old. Her prosecution was scandalous. She lives out of state now and spends a lot of time at home with the boys since she lost her career.
I have a friend in prison for saving a child’s life.
