Dawn of the Dead infamous photo of exploding head. So realistic.

Yes, TGIF.  Because my head is about to go boom.

END THE FED this SUNDAY.  Sign making party at my place on Saturday.  I can’t wait!

Often times, I don’t feel like a “real girl.”  No, not like that. I just don’t get along with the average girl; we don’t usually hit it off right away.  One reason why LOLA might be a very important asset to both me and the rest  of the “liberty girls” out there.  It usually comes down to talking politics/philosophy vs. talking about purses/drinking/nonsense.

But I realized I was a “real girl” when I went to Macy’s yesterday.  That’s when it hit me.  Could you IMAGINE how much better Macy’s could be if there was a free market?  It’s already awesome, but . . . wow.  (And I’ll admit, first I was awed by thousands of shoes, then I thought of capitalism).

And speaking of girls — I’ve been keeping up with this Sarah Palin nonsense and I’ve come to a conclusion about “attractive women” and politics.  Or, so I’m not collective, we’ll just say Sarah Palin and politics.  While one could call Sarah uneducated, unprincipled, silly, boisterous, etc., often times, she is judged for her looks, as if it was a negative trait to be good looking in politics.  We do not see this happen to men.  Bill Clinton was considered attractive to most, John Edwards, and even Barack Obama.  The media, however, does not “sex them up” one bit in pictures or use this to play with the viewer’s mind.  When I see a picture of Sarah Palin that has been used to show more of her looks than her brain, I almost instantly forget about all her accomplishments and think of her as being “less intelligent” (thanks to programmed stereotypes).

What is this? Seriously.

But despite what I think of Republicans and Conservatives, I do not disrespect Sarah Palin when I actually think with an open mind.  She was governor of Alaska, for chrissake.  That takes a lot of work and gained respect, not to mention intelligence, commitment, and determination.  As CNN said last night, she raised a million dollars in 15 minutes (or some crazy statistic).  She’s not worthless and she’s not just a body.  NOR ARE OTHER ATTRACTIVE WOMEN IN POLITICS.

That’s my Sarah Palin rant.  Oh, and forgot to mention that she calls herself a true patriot but lacks a lot of important qualities of one . . . watch out.

So, I checked how many calories that I should be eating daily on MyPyramid.gov.

Being sedentary, it tells me that I should be eating 2,000 calories.

Back when I was younger (about 17), I got my metabolism tested through a breathing apparatus.  1,500 calories — and that was with 2-3 hours of daily walking as exercise.

So now that I am older and put that I was sedentary in My Pyramid, I’m burning 2000 calories a day?

I would gain about a pound a week using My Pyramid’s specifications.

So, is this governement run program actually making Americans fat?

Keep making us sick.  Keep us sitting, eating, and watching the television.  If we’re kept down, we’ll never get the chance to rebel against the tyranny.

Dear Ms. Litz:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your thoughts regarding the Federal Reserve System, commonly known as the Federal Reserve. I appreciate hearing from all Pennsylvanians about the issues that matter most to them.

The recent financial crisis has led to a high level of involvement on the part of the Federal Reserve in our economy. Since late 2007, the Federal Reserve, along with central banks around the globe, has lowered interest rates and pushed an unprecedented amount of money into the financial markets. In doing so, the Federal Reserve has attempted to stimulate lending activity by banks and other financial institutions in an effort to grow the economy.

Apart from the current crisis, the Federal Reserve plays a pivotal role in managing the long term health of our economy by enacting policies to promote stable inflation, maximize employment and moderate long-term interest rates. In fact, the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions affect issues ranging from housing to international trade.

Given the unprecedented steps taken by the Federal Reserve to combat the recession, I understand your concerns. Moreover, I have recently heard from many constituents about the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009, which would establish a one-time audit of the Federal Reserve by the Comptroller General, who would report the findings to Congress and present legislative recommendations as appropriate. To the extent that such an audit would increase transparency with respect to policies and decisions undertaken to stabilize the economy, I believe it could be beneficial. At the same time, however, I believe the autonomy of the Federal Reserve with respect to establishing and implementing monetary policy should not be compromised. Please be assured, as efforts to increase government transparency come before the Senate, I will weigh this balance carefully.

Dear Senator Casey,
Since the Federal Reserve of 1913, the dollar has lost 96% of its value.
The dollar is no longer backed by gold or silver.  Most of it is backed by nothing but AIR.
The Federal Reserve is privately owned, not federal at all, and answers to no one.  Not even the government.
We’re in over 11 trillion dollars of debt.  And you say the Federal Reserve is just dandy.

Shall I go on?

Because I can.

Thank you for your political integrity,
Stacy

Long live the weekends. Without them, I’d go insane.

Friday
Happy 21st birthday to Deanna (Student Liberty Front’s wonderful secretary).
You can imagine how a 21st birthday party went . . .

Saturday
Went out to Harrisburg with the Truth, Freedom and Prosperity/Campaign for Liberty crew of Philadelphia for a Freedomworks march on the Capital. 9/12ers and Conservatives galore. Not necessarily my cup of tea (ha, at a tea party!) but I could relate to most of the event. These 9/12ers are very close to being “fully awoken.” Very close. There are just some things they still don’t get, especially the privacy of marriage and separation of the government and marriage. Also, they don’t tend to question anything regarding 9/11. And I think they’re a bit too pro-war. Oh yeah, and the whole “WE LOVE GOD” thing. Ok, ok, I admit, we’re very different — but I get along with these Conservatives more than liberals. They’re not complete neo-cons . . . eh.

I got in a good talk with a friend about . . . everything. Ghosts, aliens, 9/11, the truth . . . at this point, I know that there is no way, absolutely NO WAY, that I am ever going to know everything in this world. Why fight it? And why bicker over the “stupid things” in life when there’s so much to know — more than possible? No reason to. I’ve decided that I’m done wasting my time doing things that I do not like doing. My mind is so open at this point, I can’t stop learning. And at the same time, I can’t be stuck being brought down by the system.

So, from a march that wasn’t the most supportive of my cause to a conversation that led me to some great conclusions, Saturday was pretty awesome.

Sunday
We flyered. We flyered Philadelphia. We flyered Philadelphia with about 1,500 flyers.
Take that.
End the Fed rally.
Sunday, November 22nd.
10:00AM City Hall.
March at 11:22 to the Fed.
Speakers in the Constitution Center from 1-3.
Come out and learn something.

But in a nutshell . . . the Federal Reserve is a private banking institution. It doesn’t have to answer to anyone — even the big G (government, baby). It handles our money supply. It can print when it wants. It can STEAL when it wants. Do we know about it? Nope! I told you, it’s PRIVATE. Right now, we’re mainly fighting for a bill to be passed with SO MANY co-sponsors (Pelosi’s keeping it out of the House) — HR 1207, AUDIT the Fed. Basically, we’re just like, “HEY, can we at least KNOW what you’re doing with our money? That’s all. Just tell us the truth.” I can’t imagine anyone being against this bill. Oh, my Representative, Chakah Fattah is! But that’s OK, I would call him a socialist, but that’d be too nice.

Next Sunday. Be there.

Before you scold me for being busy, question what you do in your own useless, mundane life (yes, I hold grudges).

Amazing.

Absolutely appalled.

Anyone who supports this reform  supports violence, poverty, and government oppression.

No individual can opt-out.

Employers (even private) are going to be forced to get their employees healthcare.

If you don’t buy in, you’ll probably get fined and put in jail.  Hence the violence.  Think guns, cops and busting down your door for not WANTING something.

So disgusting.  Go play golf, Barack Obama.  Just don’t do . . . anything else.  Go away.  PLEASE.

All the hard work finally paid off.

Drexel hosted to Students for Liberty Mid-Atlantic conference this weekend.

Let me tell you.

I had so much fun.

Meet and greet at my place on Friday.

Work up at 6:30 AM on Saturday, pretty energized.  We had so much to set up!

The conference went WITHOUT A FLAW.

And then at the end, Irena got on stage, called SLF up, cried, and it was over.  Then I had 7 drink tickets at Slainte to use.  Well deserved, mind you.

While I am only with the liberty-minded folks for about . . . 10 percent of my day, on average, it’s where I always want to be.  These conferences and events . . . I always want to go to them SO BADLY, for I love the gift of liberty that the attendees possess!  It truly is a GIFT.  To know what it means to be free — but to also have the knowledge that there are some evil, vile people out there who use violence, force and coercion on us . . . while most of the world sleeps through it, unaware of what is wrong.

Anyway, I could go on forever.  If you’re not in the movement and you read this, you’ll think I’m crazy.  I don’t care.  I know what I want to do with my life and it’s not be average, apathetic and wasteful.  It’s going to take time and patience to get out of school — get out of this corrupt system that I’m involved in — and move on to immersing myself in what I like to do.

I’m not going to convert you into a “freeman.”  But look into your heart.  Do you own yourself?  Or are you letting someone ELSE own you?  Where is that money coming from?  Thin air?  Stolen from the people?  Why are so many people in jail?  Victimless crimes?  Exactly.  Why do politicians LIE and NOTHING THEY SAY EVER COMES INTO TRUTH?  Why.  Are the police becoming more like a MILITARY?  Are the children and the elderly being negatively affected by the tyrannical government that creates policy after policy of ineffective and useless NONSENSE for the “sheep-le” (people) of the United States to mindlessly follow?

Some say questioning authority is bad.  Don’t do it, they say.  Well.  1) Who is anyone to RULE OVER you and tell you what to do?  2) Absolute power creates ABSOLUTE PROBLEMS (ever take a history class?) 3) Obviously, something’s wrong with the system.  Question it.

I’m really going to start writing my book.  It’s going to be fairly simple to read.  It’s for freedom n00bs.  Hopefully it’ll convert some people.

Sorry, no time to write!

We hosted Freedom Watch last week!

Check it out!

Woo! Look at me sitting next to powerful looking white guys! Haha. Take that, politics.

Wow, what a great night.

Student Liberty Front put on a fund raising concert!

The bands were suprisingly GOOD!  We made a whole 100 dollars (ha).

Not much, but we’re working on it.

Special thanks to Julia for putting the whole thing together!

I guess we made more than we would with a bake sale . . .
