Senate approves pandemic flu prep bill (Posted April 30, 2009) http://news.bostonherald.com/news/politics/view/2009_04_28_Mass__Senate_approves_pandemic_flu_prep_bill/ The new Senate version would allow the public health commissioner — in a public health emergency — to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property for investigations, and quarantine individuals. CDC mixed avian & human flu viruses in 2004 (Posted April 30, 2009) http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/panflu/news/jan1404hybrids.html Jan 14, 2004 (CIDRAP News) – One of the worst fears of infectious disease experts is that the H5N1 avian influenza virus now circulating in parts of Asia will combine with a human-adapted flu virus to create a deadly new flu virus that could spread around the world. That could happen, scientists predict, if someone who is already infected with an ordinary flu virus contracts the avian virus at the same time. The avian virus has already caused at least 48 confirmed human illness cases in Asia, of which 35 have been fatal. The virus has shown little ability to spread from person to person, but the fear is that a hybrid could combine the killing power of the avian virus with the transmissibility of human flu viruses. Now, rather than waiting to see if nature spawns such a hybrid, US scientists are planning to try to breed one themselves—in the name of preparedness.

Governor Brad Henry vetoes 10th Amendment resolution - HJR 1003 (Posted April 28, 2009) http://www.governor.state.ok.us/display_article.php?article_id=1236&article_type=1 The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” What’s proposed? Key’s resolution states the federal government should "cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers.” A resolution is a formal expression of opinion, will or intention voted by legislators. "It’s to help try to get us back to following the Constitution and try to preserve our constitutional form of government,” Key said. "The federal government continues to violate it more and more. It’s gotten so bad that they pretty much do whatever they want and get away with just about anything they want to get away with.” END THE FED Rally in Dallas (Posted April 25, 2009) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxRbl1Ypu7w Top Democrats Complicit In Torture Cover-Up (Posted April 24, 2009) http://www.infowars.com/top-democrats-complicit-in-torture-cover-up/ We now know why top Democrats are protecting Bush administration officials from facing an inquiry into the illegal torture program - because several of them were actually complicit in giving their approval for such methods to be used.

H.R. 1207 – Audit The Fed (Posted April 21, 2009) http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/audit-the-federal-reserve-hr-1207/ Recently, it has come to light that there is little to no accountability to the people on the part of the Federal Reserve. While the citizens of this country are required by law to give an accounting of every penny they come in contact with, the Federal Reserve has never been held to the same standard. During this time of extreme economic crisis, the people deserve an accounting of where our money is going. Call your Congress person and ask them to co-sponsor this legislation.
