CISPA dies in Senate!
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) died in the Senate yesterday, according to a statement from a representative of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. The bill, which had already passed the House, would have allowed the government to snoop on private emails by granting companies the right to disseminate individuals’ sensitive, private information — like medical records — without their knowledge or consent.
Although CISPA likely won’t be passed in its current form, Republicans and Democrats have a bad habit of resurrecting terrible Big Government legislation like this. This is the second year in a row that CISPA has been considered by Congress, and lawmakers have already said they’re working on drafting new cybersecurity bills.
The Libertarian Party issued a release condemning CISPA earlier this week, which included this statement from Chairman Geoffrey J. Neale: “The provisions of CISPA are abhorrent and unacceptable in a free society. We must not only trash CISPA; we must repeal the Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and every other law that violates our Fourth Amendment rights.”

Libertarian Party: Move Personal Independence Day from June to January
Every year, federal, state and local governments seize an enormous percentage of the money Americans earn. For several months of every year, taxpayers are effectively working for the government without compensation.
This year, according to the Tax Foundation, Americans must work until April 18, what they call Tax Freedom Day, to pay their taxes before they can finally start working for themselves instead, based on a total federal, state, and local tax burden of $4.22 trillion. If federal borrowing is added in, they point out, Tax Freedom Day would fall on May 9, another 21 days of Americans’ lives devoted to working for the government.
But is it really that soon?
As Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman famously observed, “It cannot be emphasized too much that the real burden on the economy is what government spends (or mandates others to spend) rather than how much it receives in taxes.” In a 1974 Newsweek article, Friedman suggested giving a name to the day at which we stop working to pay all the expenses of government — total spending, not just current taxation. He dubbed it “Personal Independence Day.”
When total spending by all levels of government is taken into account, according to this estimate, the burden of government will reach $6.16 trillion for 2013.
This means that it won’t be until June 6 before Americans will finally be free to keep their earnings instead of paying for wasteful government spending. Personal Independence Day doesn’t arrive until nearly half the year has passed.

Libertarian Rob Sarvis advocates ending police militarization, drug war in VA gubernatorial campaign
Rob Sarvis,
LP Virginia
Candidate for GovernorThe Uncovered Politics blog recently ran a positive profile of Rob Sarvis, nominated by LP Virginia to run in the state’s gubernatorial campaign. here’s an excerpt:
The Libertarian Party of Virginia nominated Robert C. Sarvis for governor in a special state convention held Sunday afternoon in Waynesboro.
Though not quite a household name, the little-known Libertarian is an impressive candidate by almost any measure.
Raised in Northern Virginia, the 36-year-old Sarvis graduated from nationally-renowned Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, a magnet school in Alexandria. After earning degrees in mathematics from Harvard University and the University of Cambridge, the over-achieving Libertarian candidate worked as a software developer in the Silicon Valley before obtaining a law degree from NYU and a Master’s degree in economics from George Mason University.
While at NYU, Sarvis co-founded the NYU Journal of Law & Liberty, a libertarian-leaning law journal.
Sarvis, who lives in Annandale with his wife and two children, is socially liberal and fiscally conservative, favoring same-sex marriage, open borders, and an end to the nation’s War on Drugs. A staunch defender of civil liberties, he opposes the militarization of the nation’s law enforcement agencies and worries about future drone surveillance in the United States and abroad.
An entrepreneur and devoted free-market advocate, he also favors smaller government at all levels — a particularly tough sell in a government-saturated state with more than 322,000 federal employees and retirees, not to mention an additional 515,000 full and part-time state and local government employees.

Libertarian Chris Jenner wins college board election in Illinois, hopes to slash millions in spending
Chris Jenner,
McHenry County
College BoardThe McHenry County College Board in Illinois has a new Libertarian member who’s ready to rein in wasteful spending. Chris Jenner, of Cary, Ill., came in second out of nine candidates, with the top three candidates winning seats on the board. Jenner netted 9,919 votes, or 15 percent, according to the Northwest Herald.
Jenner has been involved with the Illinois LP for more than a decade, and recently concluded his second term on the Cary Grade School Board, where he successfully passed several policies of fiscal restraint that are uncommon in school districts. He hopes to bring that same discipline to the McHenry County College Board.
The college is currently planning a $640 million expansion over several years, including the forthcoming addition of a $42 million health sciences facility and fitness center.
“I guarantee you the community college doesn’t need a fitness center,” Jenner said. “They don’t need any new building. They’re not using half of the space that they have now, and they certainly don’t need to do any construction.”

Kansas Libertarians Ogle and Coen garner impressive vote totals in city elections
On April 2, Libertarian Michael Ogle won an impressive 32 percent of the vote in his race for mayor of Topeka. He based his campaign on performance-based budgeting to eliminate wasteful spending, removal of barriers that make it harder for businesses to be successful, and assurance that property rights would not be infringed upon by eminent domain abuse.
Libertarian Clinton Coen, a 21-year-old student at Wichita State University, won a similarly impressive 46 percent of the vote in his campaign for a place on the Wichita City Council.

The Feds are about to be sued for stealing cows. Agents of the forest service welfare agency running amuck!!!!!!!!!
http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/04/08/56467.htm
Rancher Who Lost 354 Cows to Feds Can Sue
By JAMIE ROSS
ShareThis
PHOENIX (CN) – An Arizona cattle rancher can sue the U.S. Forest Service for seizing and selling nearly 400 of his herd, the Court of Federal Claims ruled.
Though Daniel Gabino Martinez’s land sits in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, he refused to get federal permits so that his cattle could graze because he claimed that his water and forage rights entitled such use.
The Forest Service issued a notice of trespass in February 2005, but Gabino Martinez refused to remove the cattle.
Agents ultimately seized 354 of his cattle in November 2004, but Gabino Martinez waited until November 2011 to file suit. The government claimed that the complaint failed under the six-year statute of limitations, but Judge Eric Bruggink disagreed Thursday.
“If impoundment of the cattle were grounds for asserting a taking, then presumably those impoundments which took place more than six years prior to the filing of the complaint could be dismissed as stale,” Bruggink wrote.
During oral arguments, however, the government’s counsel argued the Forest Service’s actions should be analyzed as the exercise of a police power, not as a taking.
“If we agree with counsel that impoundment by the government would not create liability for a taking, then it is difficult to understand how plaintiff forfeited its taking claim by not suing before November 8, 2011,” Bruggink wrote.
Gabino Martinez maintains that since his cattle were not sold until December 2005, he was within the six-year statutory period when he filed suit in November 2011. The government claimed, however, that the clock started when it took possession of the cattle on Nov. 8, 2005.
“We are reluctant to dismiss the action at this early stage, when plaintiff’s theory is that the sale of the cattle constituted the taking, when it is the government’s real position that neither the impoundment nor the sale would ever trigger a taking, when the government conduct was pursuant to a regulatory scheme, and when defendant’s counsel ventured at oral argument that, if the claim was brought before the sale and viewed as a regulatory taking, ‘then the government would have an argument that his claim is not ripe,’” Bruggink wrote.

Margerate Thatcher , the problem with socialism!!!
As Prime Minister Thatcher stated: The problem with socialism , is eventually you run out of other peoples money!!!
Allodial Title, Land Patent. Here’s the question.
Some folks that run for public office, claim to be Conservatives, supporting Constitutional Laws. Ask your rep at your next public meeting , if they support property rights. Ask them if they hold an Allodial Titles. If not they are not Constitutional Conservatives. Below is a response from a reader. Thanks Debra!
Below is what information I learned after paying cash for my home and wanting to secure it from any taking. I will update if my plan proves successful.
Essentially, a Land Patent is the first conveyance of title ownership to land which the U.S. Government grants a citizen who applies for one. One of the earliest laws for granting Land Patents was passed by Congress on April 24, 1820
Later on, in 1862, a Homestead Act stated in Section 4: “That no lands acquired under the provisions of this act shall in any event become liable to the satisfaction of any debt or debts contracted prior to the issuing of the patent therefor”.
The one major pitfall, that must be avoided, is that when filing the declaration of land patents, do not place the same legal description in the declarations that was in the original land patent issued by the Bureau of Land Management. What this does is cloud the title to the property of other persons who are living in properties that are part of the legal description of the original land patent. As a result, several lawsuits were filed to quiet title. To prevent this from happening, you must write in your Declaration of Land Patent only the legal description of the property to which you are an assignee. In other words, the legal description from your deed or abstract is what you must use. For this reason, the enclosed Declaration of Land Patent has in it, adequate language for this purpose. A Declaration of Homestead should be attached to your Declaration of Land Patent, but the legal description in your Declaration of Homestead must be 160 acres or less to comply with Federal Law on filing Homesteads. Along with the declaration of Land Patent and the Declaration of Homestead is a certified copy of the original land patent which you can obtain from your nearest land office. These papers are all stapled together and filed in either your County Recorder’s office or with the Register of Deeds.
DO NOT SEND CHECKS. SEND MONEY ORDERS ONLY / MAKE PAYABLE TO: Bureau of Land Management
After you receive your copy of the original Land Patent or Land Grant, then staple it to a Declaration of Land Patent and file it in your County Recorder’s office or Register of Deeds. You now have your allodial title. If you haven’t filed a Declaration of Homestead, then you should do so and attach it to your Land Patent. You may file a Declaration of Homestead on up to 160 [64] acres, but not more. A Declaration of Homestead can only be filed on property that you actually live on. A Land Patent can only be filed on property that has been assigned to you. You don’t file one on your neighbor’s property or they can sue you for slandering his title.
A Declaration of Homestead should be filed whether or not you file a Land Patent. It may be filed with, before, or after your lawsuit is filed. Both Land Patents and Declarations of Homestead must be Notarized. A sample of both are enclosed. Make photocopies of both before using them or you may retype your own.
After your Land Patent is filed, you must send a photocopy by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to your bank or mortgage company, FLB, FMRA, PCA, etc and to any and all parties that may have an equitable interest in your property so they have been placed on NOTICE that you are updating the Land Patent in your name and they will have 60 days to challenge your claim to your allodial title in a court of law or forever keep their silence. Be sure to keep your green tickets when they come back.

The Land Patent is the only form of perfect title to land available in the United States. Wilcox v. Jackson, 38 PET (U.S.)
498; 10 L.Ed. 264
The “Warranty Deed” is merely a “color of title”. Color of Title means: “That which is a semblance or appearance of
title, but not title in fact or in law.” Howth v. Farrar, C.C.A. Tex.; 94 F.2d 654, 658; McCoy v. Lowrie, 42 Wash. 2d 24,
Black’s Law Sixth Ed.
In the history of this county no Land Patent has ever lost an appellate review in the courts. As a matter of fact in Summa
Corp. v California, 466 US 198 the Supreme Court ruled forever that the Land Patent would always win over any other
form of title. In that case the land in question was tidewater land and California’s claim was based on California’s constitutional right to all tidewater lands. The patent stood supreme even against California’s Constitution.
