FOCUS | G20: Leaders Agree on Reforms, Poor Still "Out in the Cold"
http://www.truthout.org/092609Z?n
Eli Clifton, Inter Press Service: "World leaders at the two-day G20 Summit in the U.S. city of Pittsburgh agreed to work cooperatively to recover from the global economic crisis and create structural reforms with long-term growth as the goal.... 'The G20 is more representative than the G8 but there is still no seat at the table for the poorest countries,' said Oxfam senior policy adviser Max Lawson. 'South Africa is the only African country included in this club. That means when the G20 talks about growth and stability, they are leaving the poorest countries in the cold.'"

The Neighborhood Bank offers the:
Eternal Convoluted Reverse Mortgage
Try this new loan for at risk and first time home owners.
This loan is not for everybody, but we wish it were
It’s a very affordable sixty year loan
In the first five years you pay 4 % interest on the principle
For the next thirty years you pay a very affordable 5.5 %
After that, your children and grandchildren start making payments of 6.5 %
Hey the home purchase is all about their future,
Shouldn’t they help pay for it?
After the last twenty-years, they will have paid off one third of the loan balance!
Then it turns into a reverse mortgage, collapses back in on it’s self
And like a black hole sucks up the rest of the neighborhood!
It’s not much different than many of the loan products available today
And it’s just another creative way
That our fine banks are helping to serve the public

U.S. Attorney General To Limit Gun Sales
With the crap being pulled on the American public by
banking and financial institutions and the politicians
protecting them and providing them with bonuses while
the steal the treasure of a nation. We advise the
attorney general to take action fast._Green Earl
Gun Hater Lautenberg Proposes "Extraordinary Powers" Be Given To the U.S. Attorney General To Limit Gun Sales.
Obama and the White House are looking the other way as Lautenberg seeks to ban guns from 1,000,000 US citizens on a secret FBI terrorist watch list. Obama has deliberately and repeatedly lied to America's 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would not try to take away anyone's firearms. Now Obama's silence endorses Lautenberg's latest attempt at banning guns.
Lautenberg has now introduced bill S. 1317 that would give the attorney general the discretion to block gun sales to people on terror watch lists. We must defeat this bill from giving extraordinary powers to limit gun sales to the Attorney General.

Lautenberg To Reveal Names on Secret List
The names of the people on the watch list are secret, and Lautenberg said he was frustrated by the F.B.I.'s refusal to disclose to investigators details and specific cases of gun purchases beyond the aggregate data.
Gun hater Lautenberg requested the gun grab study from the Government Accountability Office. He is using statistics, compiled in the report that is scheduled for public release next week to invade US citizen's privacy and put more restrictions on the Second Amendment.
Lautenberg said he wanted a better understanding of who is being allowed to buy guns.
How you ask? Trial by innuendo and misinformation that has put 1,000,000 Americans and maybe even you on a terrorist watch list without your knowledge by saying: people placed on this government's terrorist watch list can be stopped from getting on a plane or getting a visa, and will also be stopped from buying a gun.
Lautenberg wants gun purchases stopped for just being on the list. Current law states federal officials must find some other disqualification of a would-be gun buyer, like being a felon, an illegal alien or a drug addict.
Is your name on the list and can you get it removed?
The government's consolidated watch list, used to identify people suspected of links to terrorists, has grown to more than one million names since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. It also has drawn widespread criticism over the prevalence of mistaken identities and unclear links to terrorism.
A CNN story raises questions about mistaken identities on the list - James Robinson is a retired Air National Guard brigadier general and a commercial pilot for a major airline who flies passenger planes around the country.
James Robinson is a retired brigadier general and a commercial pilot. His name is on the terrorist "watch list."
He has even been certified by the Transportation Security Administration to carry a weapon into the cockpit as part of the government's defense program should a terrorist try to commandeer a plane.
But there's one problem: James Robinson, the pilot, has difficulty even getting to his plane because his name is on the government's terrorist "watch list."
That means he can't use an airport kiosk to check in; he can't do it online; he can't do it curbside. Instead, like thousands of Americans whose names match a name or alias used by a suspected terrorist on the list, he must go to the ticket counter and have an agent verify that he is James Robinson, the pilot, and not James Robinson, the terrorist.
"Shocking's a good word; frustrating," Robinson -- the pilot -- said. "I'm carrying a weapon, flying a multimillion-dollar jet with passengers, but I'm still screened as, you know, on the terrorist watch list."

History Repeating Itself?
The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law, superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm. Furthermore, the law restricted ownership of firearms to "...persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a (gun) permit."
Lautenberg Must be Stopped
Recently Sens. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), Jack Reed (D-RI) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) have joined Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and victims and family members of the Virginia Tech tragedy, to introduce legislation to eliminate the private transfers of firearms and close the nation's "gun show loophole."
This Senate bill is in the Judiciary Committee, chaired by anti-gun liberal Democrat Leahy. Lautenberg's gun hate is well documented and he says you are irrational if you support private gun sales.
"There is no rational reason to oppose closing the loophole. The reason it's still not closed is simple: the continuing power of the special interest gun lobby in Washington" Sen. Lautenberg said ignoring the Constitution.

Lautenberg and the Gun Grabbers in the Senate are now tying to use the GAO to justify putting Americans on a secret gun ban list.
LAUTENBERG'S MOTIVES
Motives for his latest gun ban to are twofold:
* First, he is taking small steps to enact gun control legislation this is just one step.
* Second, eradicate the gun culture altogether.
All that seems to be on the minds of the Anti-Gun Senators and at the offices of gun control extremists is figuring out how to invade your privacy to erode and eventually destroy the right, and the means, of self-defense.
Now the Anti-Gun Coalitions are trying to use a self supporting GAO study to destroy the right of all Americans to keep and bear arms to protect themselves under the law. They are attacking and hiding behind an Anti-Terrorist Agenda while getting political and financial support from:
George Soros a Hungarian-born billionaire bank rolling efforts with his check book and spending more that $100 million to destroy the Constitution.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (CA) admitted that "guns would be banned and confiscated" if she could have her way.
The United Nations actively pushes globalism seeking to disarm all Americans.
We must Stop the Anti-Gun Coalition and get ready for the biggest gun control fight of the year from coast to coast. We can not do that without your support.
Stand up against this attack! Stand up for the right to not only defend yourself, but to defend your family, your children, your friends, and your classmates!

Subject: Battle is against extremism
Hey Michael;
I saw some of your many interviews lately.
After your CNN Wolf Blitzer interview I was thinking.
It seams that all the battles you and our president are
in today are battles of extremism I hope you, and he,
spend time defining it, outlining it, and as you have,
keep giving examples of it. Pour those blood suckers an
extra chalice full.
Isn't it so easy for the enemy to speculate about the
most illogical and extreme conclusions when attempting
to make a point against something that requires measured
judgment and compassion?
This has always been the wicked and lazy ones way of
doing nothing that he alone has the responsibility to do.
Thank you for using your God given talent to provide the
news that CNN and others should have been providing.
I wonder if Wolf would want to speculate on the question;
With 1% of the population holding 95 % of the wealth
What percent of those, might have achieved that wealth
through ill-gotten ways?
Could he put any number on it?
Michael you have exposed so many of them in your efforts
thus far.
Please continue to encourage anyone who would follow
you to go after them first.
Once exposed many of the others will then follow.
I see how the words we use have been redefined by the
powerful extremists who fear that they are the next
victims of extremism, they know its dangers so well.
The heart of regulation is about consumer and public
protection.
Most of our laws are about social responsibility, that
responsibility isn't socialism
Thank you for your confession of your Christian faith
it is so refreshing, You may not be Michael the Arch
Angel, but you're certainly helping him in the fight
for good common sense.
May God Bless you and continue to give you your hearts
desire.

Dear Friend of Liberty,
We are working hard to pass historic legislation like Dr. Paul's Audit the Fed bill (HR 1207/S 604), but our legislative efforts are just one part of our fight to reclaim the Republic and restore the Constitution. Campaign for Liberty's mission includes educating and informing the populace on the ideas and reasoning behind individual liberty, free markets, sound money, limited government, and a noninterventionist foreign policy. If we are to be successful in our endeavors, we must work to instill the philosophy of Liberty in the hearts and minds of as many men and women as possible.
Nowhere else is that philosophy and the discussion of America's future more alive than on the internet.
We believe that a great way to gently introduce friends and family to the message of Liberty is through social networks, and with that in mind, we are very active on the most popular of these networks to bring these essential ideas to an audience that may not otherwise be familiar with us. The ever-expanding list of Featured Article authors and bloggers at CampaignForLiberty.com has given us tremendous content with which to introduce many to the concepts of liberty and to reinforce what our members have learned.
