SB 810 was not brought up on the senate floor so the bill is dead.

 This was a health care reform bill for the State of California, which touted the demise of private health care insurance — no choices, just State mandated health care! The bill was authored by Senator Mark Leno 3^rd Senate District of the San Francisco area.

Today was the last day for a vote and even the Democrats were backing off!

Congratulations to us and everyone who called State Senators and demanded a NO vote on this bill.

Meeting on Tuesday, January 31, 6:30 PM

Program:  4 Tea Party Participants will present the “The Good, Bad and Ugly” of the 4 Republican Candidates for the Presidency.  Discussion and straw poll to follow.

From Freedom 21 website:

 The Freedom Movement | Organization Members | The Freedom21 Logo | Freedom21 Responsibilities

Freedom21 is the manifestation of the belief that American society operates best when it is founded upon these principles:

1. People have inherent, natural, unalienable rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness – the foundations of sovereignty.

2. Governments exist expressly to protect these rights.

3. Governments derive power from the consent of the governed, to protect these rights.

4. Public policies which constrain people’s rights must be enacted only by representatives elected by the people.

5. Constitutionally limited government is the best form of government.

6. That government is best which governs least.

7. No foreign government shall supersede the authority of the government of the United States of America.

These principles were identified, debated, and adopted by the people who attended the first annual National Freedom21 Conference, July 9-12, 2000, in St. Louis, Missouri. Freedom21’s mission is to advance these principles in public policy at every level of government.

Freedom21 began in 1999 when its predecessor, the Environmental Conservation Organization, asked the leaders of about a dozen other organizations to assemble in Washington, DC. The purpose of the meeting was to develop a new strategy to counter the explosion of new laws and regulations that ignored private property rights and individual freedom. The meeting was hosted by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow. The group quickly agreed that the President’s Council on Sustainable Development, working to implement the recommendations set forth in Agenda 21, was a major source of the freedom-eroding policies being implemented by the government.

The group recognized, and agreed, that the efforts of our various organizations were mostly defensive, working to defeat the proposals and policies advanced by the PCSD, and its proponents. What was needed, the group decided, was to develop a strong offense, to develop a positive strategy to advance the principles of freedom, in addition to defeating the proposals produced by the PCSD.

The first step was the first annual Freedom21 National Conference held in St. Louis, Missouri in 2000. More than a hundred leaders of grassroots organizations from around the country attended the conference. Speakers outlined the new strategy. Attendees divided into committees to develop the principles that would guide the group and to develop priorities and suggest tactics. After considerable discussion and revision, the “Principles of Freedom” were unanimously adopted.

Organization Members

Organizations that are members of Freedom21 are organizations that have a proven track record of effective, determined work that advances the principles of freedom. These organizations work in a variety of different issue areas. Some concentrate on education issues. Some work primarily on property rights issues. Some focus on the negative aspects of sustainable development policies. Freedom is being attacked on every front, and grassroots organizations that work to defend, and advance the principles of freedom are rising to meet the challenge. These are the organizations that are, or should be members of Freedom21.

Working together, these organizations draw strength and support from each other. As one organization confronts a serious challenge, it can call on other Freedom21 organizations to join in a coordinated campaign to overcome it. This is the power of the freedom movement. Freedom21 is a voluntary, cooperative effort in which no hierarchy issues decisions. Instead, any member organization can ask for, and receive support from other Freedom21 members on any issue. The more individuals and organizations that participate in Freedom21, the more powerful the freedom movement becomes.

The Freedom21 Logo

Freedom21 works to promote, publicize, and advance the work of all its member organizations through its publications, websites, press releases, news articles, videos, and other educational materials. Individuals and organizations that use the Freedom21 logo help to build recognition of Freedom21 as the growing freedom movement that it has become. The Freedom21 logo is a positive symbol of the principles of freedom with which no American can disagree.

Freedom21 Responsibilities

America is facing another period in its history when freedom is threatened anew. The enemy is the same: collectivism, but it is dressed in a new uniform. This time, it’s not Hitler-styled socialism, or Soviet-styled communism, it is international collectivism wearing a “sustainable development” uniform. And it has beguiled a great many Americans who fail to see its dangers.

It is our responsibility as individuals, as organizations – as Freedom21 – to not only expose the dangers, but to offer positive, pro-active policy proposals to city councils, to county commissions, to state legislatures, and to Congress to uphold and advance the principles of freedom. This is our task. This is our challenge. This is our mission. Our success, or failure, will shape the future for generations to come. What we, each of us, do from this day forward will determine our success or failure. We need to become and stay informed about the issues we care about. This is achieved by staying involved with the organizations that are working to advance the principles of freedom within those issues. We need to develop a missionary zeal to help our friends and neighbors learn about those issues through our conversations, our correspondence, community meetings, church, and every other opportunity. We need to respond to our organization’s call for activism, whether it is attendance at a city council meeting or contacting a Congressman. We need to do whatever we can as individuals.

We need to support our organizations – Freedom21 organizations. The people who lead these organizations often work with little or no salary for their organizational work, and actually help finance their work from their own paycheck earned from other jobs. They need financial support and they need our encouragement.

Freedom21 is a new idea in the market place of grassroots activism. It consists of organizations working in an array of issue areas populated with individuals from all walks of life. The common denominator for individuals and organizations alike is belief in the principles of freedom on which Freedom21 is constructed. Let’s determine together to build this movement into a tidal wave of influence that will wash away the last remnant of collectivism that contaminates public policy. This is a long term goal that must be achieved incrementally. Every victory, no matter how small, by every individual and every organization, is an incremental step toward this goal. Together, we can multiply these victories. Together, we can celebrate, and publicize these victories. And in the doing of it, we can attract new members to our organizations, and double and redouble our effectiveness.

The structure has been built and the strategy is before us. Now, we go to work anew!

Fred Kelly Grant is a leading expert on all aspects of the formal coordination process. Based in large part upon his work, nearly 200 local jurisdictions have engaged in coordination. Born in Hartsville, South Carolina, Mr. Grant enjoyed a successful career as a criminal law attorney in Baltimore, Maryland prior to moving to Idaho.

Twenty years ago, he became involved as the Chair of an Owyhee County, Idaho workgroup that used coordination as the vehicle for developing the Owyhee Initiative. The resulting Owyhee Initiative Act was signed into law by President Obama in 2009, protecting the interests of Owyhee County ranchers and resolving long-standing grazing and other land use management policies. Fred will discuss coordination, what it is and how to implement it for engagement with state and federal agencies on wolf management issues.

Don’t Let Alcohol Force You Out of the Game

Be sure to include a designated driver in your starting lineup this weekend

Siskiyou County, CA – The Avoid the 8 Siskiyou County DUI Campaign is reminding football fans watching this year’s Super Bowl game with friends and family to make the right decision before kickoff and game plan in a designated sober driver. Law Enforcement joins with the national “Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk” message from the National Football League (NFL), the California office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management (TEAM) Coalition.

The Avoid the 8 DUI Task Force will be deploying special roving DUI patrols on Sunday, February 5^th in several communities throughout the area looking to stop and arrest drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs.  These DUI patrols are, in addition to regularly scheduled patrol officers, all looking for the tale-tell signs of an intoxicated driver behind the wheel.

In 2010, over 10,000 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes that involved at least one driver or motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. In Californian, this deadly crime led to 791 deaths because someone failed to designate a sober driver.

“We’re reminding everyone that real Super Bowl Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk,” stated Sheriff Jon Lopey.  “We are asking all party hosts and bar owners to take extra good care of designated sober drivers this year. Drafting a designated driver this weekend will be the correct play call for a sure win.”

The Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk message supports the league-wide designated-driver campaign called Responsibility Has Its Rewards.  Celebrating its ninth season in 2011, the campaign encourages fans to participate in designated-driver programs supported by beer and concessionaire companies at every NFL stadium nationwide. The Responsibility Has Its Rewards Super Bowl XLVI winners were randomly selected Designated Drivers for the Season from the AFC Champion and NFC Champion teams. They attend the 2012 Pro Bowl in Honolulu, HI. Rewarding responsible behavior is just as important to the Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk safety message as reminding fans about the risks of drinking and driving.

“We want everyone to make the right decision on Super Bowl Sunday,” said Chris Murphy, Director of the Californian Office of Traffic Safety.  “Having a designated sober driver should be an obvious call in everyone’s play book. Making sure designated sober drivers know how much we appreciate their responsible decision is what will make this year’s celebration extra special – and extra safe.”

The Avoid DUI Patrols are funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety who reminds everyone to please; Report Drunk Drivers – Call 9-1-1!  More information can be found on NHTSA’s Super Bowl XLVI page; Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk; and  OTS’s California Avoid DUI
