The federal government spent $358 billion on 12 antipoverty programs in 2010 but it only would have taken $165 billion (Census Bureau numbers) to pull every American out of poverty! It is time for serious reform and elimination or consolidation of many of these programs. I am a private citizen working to educate the public and push for meaningful change. When the citizens are armed with facts it seems to me that good things happen. I seek no financial gain whatsoever. Would you help spread the word? Please point people to the website - FederalSafetyNet.com. Here is a link: http://www.federalsafetynet.com I would also be happy to send you brochures which summarize the information. Just let me know how many and where to send them. Thanks for helping and all the best, Bob Dear RochesterConservative.com,

I made this version of the Gadsden flag back in 2009 when I started getting involved in the Tea Party. http://cgi.ebay.com/Gadsden-Flag-Tea-Party-alternate-version-/160553141614?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2561b6856e As you can see, after alot of positive feedback by people from the rallies, I decided to bite the bullet and get some quality flags made up and I'm now selling them on Ebay. Let me know what you think. I would really appreciate the feedback. Hey there,

There's a few folks who are opposing Slaughter. One is Dr. Jill Rowland, a dentist from Buffalo that I got to hear speak and also met with her and her husband. I like her, but it's going to be hard to beat Slaughter as she has a built-in constituency with the entitlement class and liberals in Rochester, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. Alan Aszkler posted:

We've never seen socialism without totalitarianism at the national level (take your pick - Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot, et al) and even at the small commune level, it has routinely failed (virtually all of the hippy communes of the 60s and 70s failed due to internal breakdowns). Socialism, communism and all varieties of Marxism only look good in theory, and even then, only when you completely ignore obvious things like people tend to act in their own self-interest and prefer to do as little as possible while also demanding a reward as large as possible. In practice, collectivism has never worked, especially on a large scale and especially not with a culturally heterogeneous society.
