Mainstream advocacy

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY — The Modern Whig philosophy is to empower the states with the resources to handle their unique affairs.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE — Reduce dependence on foreign oil by developing practical sources of alternative energy. This will have the simultaneous effect of changing the national security dynamic.

STATES RIGHTS — Each state can generally determine its course of action based on local values and unique needs.

Support for Iranian protesters

The Modern Whig Party national headquarters is based on the same Washington, DC block as the Iranian government interest building. As such, we encounter the daily protesters who are advocating for freedom in their native land. Beyond the little efforts such as bringing them water and moral support, the Modern Whig Party also stands by all those who desire to invoke their fundamental rights to free speech, assembly, and freedom from tyranny.

  • Wake-up Call;
    We have about 22 members. We have NO PLAN!

    GOOOH has around 100,000 members.
    GOOOH has a PLAN!
    (basically the same as ours).

    They are getting about 8,000 hits per day (over 650,000).
    To get 500,000 members by election times we will need to increase our membership by by at least 2,700 EVERY DAY!
    (at our present rate that will take about 1000 YEARS!)

    I think we ALL (largely) agree with GOOOH’s PLAN.
    If we help GOOOH it may attain 5,000,000 members by then.

    And, WE will REGAIN our Country & our Constitution.

    I we don’t do something BIG - NOW, we may NEVER get another chance to save our Country!

  • From CNN Breaking News: 9:06 PM

    Liberal and moderate Democrats have reached ”broad agreement” on a health care bill, Sen. Harry Reid says.

    This means they are now in the red zone, first and ten. All Reid needs now is 60 votes to end debate. He says he has them. Then this biece of garbage goes to a floor vote. The amendment stripping abortion out of this was defeated, so it has us paying for abortions and probably some way to cover illegals.

    Our only hope is that it will be defeated on the floor, but that’s unlikely at this point. Then it goes to Conference Committee where members from the House and Senate hammer out a final version.

    There’s still some hope, but things are looking very dark, indeed. I wish there was a way to call a massive demonstration in Washington ASAP. If ever one was needed it’s now. Any ideas how we can do it?

    Spread the word, folks.

  • I just published a real mind blower at Examiner.com. It is guaranteed to make your blood boil.

    Wait until you see how much it will ultimately cost you and my family to have Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM, the architect of the 9/11 attacks) and the other 9/11 Five tried in a New York City federal criminal court.

    The case was ready to proceed before a military commission, so Holder quickly reached in and changed the venue and the defendant’s status by indicting them.

    BUT… when they were captured, Bush was at the helm. No one in his administration would have given any thought to a criminal trial, so they never Mirandized the 9/11 Five, the prisoners were held for longer than 72 hours without being charged, had no access to legal representation and no phone call.

    If you’re a NYC federal judge and the facts surrounding their arrests and the period after their arrests are presented to you, unless I’m mistaken (and that’s possible, I’m not a lawyer, but rather a paralegal) and their status was changed from enemy combatant to defendant, you are duty bound to throw the case out.

    ALL of the confessions these guys made to the CIA at Gitmo are inadmissible in criminal court, but are admissible before a military commission. Does the government have a strong enough case to win conviction? I honestly don’t know. If any of you are legal scholars, I need your help.

    The 9/11 Five planned the attack on foreign soil. They were captured on foreign soil. They are not citizens of the United States, ergo, they have no right to claims of constitutional protections or the far stricter rules of evidence in criminal court. We CANNOT let this go forward and must find a way to stop it.

    Somehow, Obama and Holder are blind to the conflict of interest here. The 9/11 Five go to criminal court, while all other enemy combatants, all captured on foreign soil and not U.S. citizens, are tried by military commissions.

    This is Obama and Holder’s way of helping the Anti-Christian Leftist Union (better known as the ACLU) finally get more than their pound of flesh from Bush and the CIA. If TVs are allowed in the courtroom, they’ll also give the 9/11 Five the forum to do great damage to this country image-wise and possibly physically by triggering a terrorist attack after waterboarding is described. Even if there are no TVs, you can bet ”The New York Times” and all other left-wing newspapers and the rest of the Lame Street press will print and air the transcripts.

    I do know that if even one walks, there won’t be a Democrat seat anywhere in this nation, local, state or federal that will be considered safe.

    If there are any lawyers among us who would know how to get an injunction on the venue change, please let me know. I don’t care how wild the idea may be. If we succeed, it will be our greatest triumph and will put the Tea Party Movement front and center as THE movement that stopped Obama from this charade.
    Any advice is gratefully appreciated. How do we get the venue switched back to military commissions where the case belongs?

  • I am posting the following because it is apparent that the congress and the administration do not intend to listen to the people. We have a number of bills we want to stop. We have all expended countless hours trying to defeat health care by pressuring the congress to no apparent avail. We have a lot of fights staring us in the face on many fronts and I suspect people are already getting tired of the writing, faxing, emailing, calling, petitioning, and etc.

    I have a new suggestion that may allow us to use the same effort we have expended on health care the past six months in a new direction that could stop all these destructive bills in one effort. I don’t need to tell you how much time and effort that would save us all as individuals.

    As many of you know my main concern is the long term plan that I have for restoring a constitutional and limited government. That is my main focus, however, I cannot overlook the effects of these short term problems because they could destroy our country before I can achieve our long range plan at VOA. Because of this I must fight these short term issues to buy us the time for implementing some real change in the future…but we need your help.

    This new re-direction plan is too long for me to post here on the wire, so I must ask that you go to the site to find it. It is listed under the heading ”A NEW CALL TO ACTION” I realize that some of you are busy, but this is worth a few minutes. I think it will save us days of hard work and may actually accomplish what we have been trying to do in one stepby focusing us on one thing instead of many. But we need someone in every group and every state to get this started in their state.

    I have had countless folks asking for a plan and for action. Here is a plan for immediate implementation and action all can take right now. We all need your help…..everyone. Find it at the site below.

  • This is a link to a health care bill handout that can be circulated to spread the word on the details of this bill. It is a good one.
