1. Meet Indiana's State Treasurer on July 14
Are you worried about the federal government's increasing scope and
size? Were you shocked when Bush started taking over sectors of the
economy, and Obama continued? Were you angry when Obama started giving
union workers a better place in the bankruptcy line than secured
creditors? Were you glad when Richard Mourdock, Indiana's State
Treasurer, spoke out during the Chrysler bankruptcy?
Would you like to meet him?

8. Quotations du jour
"When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying
any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring
its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new
evil." - Thomas Jefferson
“The future kingdom of socialism will be a terrible Tyranny of criminals
and murderers. It will throw humanity into a true hell of spiritual
suffering and poverty.” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed
whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not
character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might
possibly be executed in a kindly manner.” - George Bernard Shaw
(socialist)
The “problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other
people’s money.” - Margaret Thatcher
“The Soviet Union, China, and Eastern Europe have given us the clearest
possible proof that capitalism organizes the material affairs of
humankind more satisfactorily than socialism: that however inequitably
or irresponsibly the marketplace may distribute goods, it does so better
than the queues of a planned economy; however mindless the culture of
commercialism, it is more attractive than state moralism; and however
deceptive the ideology of a business civilization, it is more believable
than that of a socialist one.” - Robert Heilbroner, former Marxist
economist who changed his position before the fall of the Berlin Wall
"In a free society the state does not administer the affairs of men. It
administers justice among men who conduct their own affairs." - Walter
Lippman
"One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words 'Socialism' and
'Communism' draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice
drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, 'Nature Cure' quack,
pacifist, and feminist in England." - George Orwell
"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders
itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide." - John
Adams, Letter, April 15, 1814
"Until you accept total responsibility — no matter what — you will not
be able to put plans in place to accomplish your goals. - David Cottrell
