From Campaign For Liberty:
We are winning!
And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
This morning, Audit the Fed unanimously passed the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee by voice vote!
Only a few short years ago, just the thought of getting a committee hearing on such an issue was considered a long shot at best, let alone achieving such a remarkable victory!
But that was because the Washington establishment and the banking elite underestimated the power of true grassroots activism.
Today’s win is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of petitions, phone calls, faxes, and emails generated by passionate C4L activists like you around the country.
One congressman noted he had been contacted by “scores of constituents” supporting Audit the Fed.
As an example of why I’ve written in previous emails that nothing can be taken for granted, at one point this morning, Rep. Elijah Cummings (MD-7) introduced an amendment that, like the Watt amendment to H.R. 1207 in the 111th Congress, would have gutted Audit the Fed.
But your pressure helped keep it from succeeding!
In fact, it was truly astonishing just how quickly Representative Cummings withdrew the amendment after it became clear there was no support for it in the Committee - even from members of his own party.
Over the last four years, you’ve helped C4L make tremendous strides in bringing the Federal Reserve to the forefront of political debate and pushing the central bank toward transparency.
Of course, ultimately, America shouldn’t even have a Federal Reserve System to create moral hazard, keep interest rates artificially low, bail out friends and favored firms, and manipulate our monetary supply.
Today’s committee hearing was just one small step toward passing Audit the Fed, but also, one giant leap toward ending it.
Now, with a floor vote before the entire U.S. House in July fast approaching, I hope you’ll stand with us again as we look to jump another hurdle and carry this bill into the Senate.
Our chances have never been better.
Thank you for helping make it possible for a strong, full audit of the Federal Reserve to pass a House Committee.
Now on to victory in the House!
In Liberty,
Matt Hawes
Vice President
P.S. This morning, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee unanimously passed Audit the Fed by voice vote.
This is a direct result of your efforts and those of hundreds of thousands of other activists across the country.
Now is the time to double-down and ensure the House passes a clean version of Audit the Fed this July.
This is indeed good news as it illustrates how activism will work in getting things to our advantage. Let's stand by Audit the Fed and see it not only pass both houses but for it to also be signed into law by the president.

MPAA tries to get the courts to implement SOPA/PIPA
From Demand Progress:
Hollywood attorneys are trying to use the courts to circumvent Congress and implement a backdoor SOPA/PIPA scheme.
Fight Back: YOUR FILES ON Google, Dropbox, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, etc. and even your emails are in jeopardy. Demand Progress is fighting back in the courts and standing up for Internet users. We are taking on the United States and the MPAA. Please sign up at right to support our legal brief so the court understands that millions of people will be impacted by this decision. The judge is hearing the case TOMORROW.
BACKGROUND: One day after the Internet staged a massive blackout to protest Congress's Internet censorship legislation (SOPA/PIPA), the United States responded by seizing millions of ordinary user files hosted on the popular website Megaupload.com.
With an aim of shutting down Megaupload and other Cloud-based hosting services (like Dropbox, YouTube or even your email provider), the government is trying to claim website operators should face decades in prison for the misdeeds of some of their users. But while they pursue trumped up criminal charges against the companies' founders, they are shutting down dozens of websites, and leaving ordinary Internet users without any way of retrieving their files.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak called the case against Megaupload a "threat to innovation." Wozniak likened the Megaupload site to a highway and those who shared pirated movies and songs to speeding motorists. "You don't just shut down the whole street because somebody is speeding," he said.
Numerous laws on the books already give copyright holders plenty of avenues to stop actual infringement, but that's not enough to satisfy Hollywood's lawyers and lobbyists. The prosecutor in the case, Neil MacBride, previously served as the Anti-Piracy Vice President of the Business Software Alliance, where he represented the intellectual property interests of countless multinational corporations.
Now Hollywood's lobbyists, represented by the Motion Picture Association of America, want him to make it nearly impossible for ordinary Internet users to get their property back.

Let's tell Congress about the Brian Banks situation
From SAVE:
Brian Banks, a star high school football player, was falsely accused of rape by a female acquaintance. Banks served five years in prison and was required to register as a sex offender. The accuser received a $1.5 million settlement from the school.
Last year, Banks logged onto Facebook and had a friend request from his accuser, Wanetta Gibson!
Private investigator Freddie Parish hid two cameras to record statements by Gibson when she met with Banks in the investigator's office. "Did he rape you?," asked Parish. "No," Gibson said, "he did not rape me." "All that money they gave us, I mean gave me, I don't want to have to pay it back, all of it, because that would take a long time," Gibson said on camera.
See the video: click here
A judge overturned Banks' conviction. One month later, Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) is charging Los Angeles County prosecutors with unacceptable delay in filing perjury charges against Gibson. A vigorous prosecution of Gibson is critical to restoring the credibility of true rape victims.
Tell your Representatives to insist that Los Angeles County prosecutors file perjury charges against Wanetta Gibson, right NOW!

Tell your representative to audit the fed
From Campaign For Liberty:
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is expected to vote tomorrow (Wed, June 27) on H.R. 459, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (“Audit the Fed”).
We’ve received word that an amendment will be offered to extend the time when the audit’s results need to be reported from the end of 2012 to one year after the bill is enacted.
C4L supports this amendment, but I need your help to guarantee Audit the Fed passes the committee without being watered down and makes it to the House floor as the strong, thorough audit the American people are demanding.
I’ll provide a link where you can find the members of the committee in just a moment, but first, here’s how you can help pass Audit the Fed.
1.) If your representative is on the committee, and if they have cosponsored H.R. 459, please call them right away to thank them for cosponsoring. Along with voting “YES” on H.R. 459 in committee, let them know you also expect them to resist any attempt to water down the bill.
2.) If your representative is on the committee but has not yet cosponsored, urge them to not only vote “YES” on H.R. 459 in committee, but to clearly stand with the American people and boldly declare their support for transparency by cosponsoring Audit the Fed right away.
3.) Spread the word! Tell your family and friends to take action and help end the Fed's rein of destruction and secrecy.
You can find a list of committee members here.
Even if your representative is not on the committee, please still contact them to demand their support for Audit the Fed when it comes to the House floor for a vote this July.
After years of hard work, you and I stand on the verge of making history by passing Audit the Fed!
But now is not the time to take anything for granted.
So please contact your representative right away and help C4L finish this fight!
Make government accountable to the people and make it practice transparency by passing Audit the Fed and the best way to do that is to notify your representative in Congress and tell them to Audit the Fed.

Law and Order SVU sympathetic to men's issues
The activism is working. In case I haven't mentioned it before things are getting better,not good it's still a shithole but we are making some progress out of the hole we have dug for ourselves. To give an example a couple of episodes of Law and Order SVU took a serious look at misandric rape and domestic violence. In one a male stripper is raped by three women at a bachorlette party,all the cops but Elliot Stabler are sympathetic to the male victim and another shows a corrupt female judge deliberately ruling against men in domestic violence and divorce cases. Again the man is portrayed as sympathetic.I thank Dick Wolf for taking a serious sympathetic look at men's issues. It shows great things can happen when we get activist. There is another danger,one we haven't faced before but it is very deadly to a movement and that is complacency. We can't afford to become complacent,not now. We've got the momentum on our side,don't let it stop.

Copyright deception
From Demand Progress:
"You've been owned!" That's what product manufacturers are hoping the Supreme Court will tell Americans this fall. The Court will decide if you have the right to resell the very things that YOU OWN -- your clothes, your iPod, even your house:
Please click at the end for more details, and tell the White House and Congress to stand by Americans' rights to resell the things we own.
Product manufacturers are trying to take away your right to resell items that are manufactured abroad, in whole or in part. In this globalized world, that's almost anything you own. Today we're launching YouveBeenOnwed.org to help Americans fight back.
If the Supreme Court rules with manufacturers, we might have to say goodbye to Ebay, Craigslist, and the old-fashioned American yard sale.
Manufacturers will have an extra incentive to off-shore jobs. Re-use and recycling efforts will be undermined, harming the environment.
Your pockets will be empty, and your basement will be a mess of junk you don't want or need.
Petition website:click here
Copyright holders have gone crazy. It's time to stop them. If they want to rent then be open about it. Don't give me the impression that I'm buying to own something when,if this judgement goes in favor of the copyright holders,I'm just renting it. Stop fucking with our freedoms,you wouldn't like it if we fucked with yours.

Rescind the "dear colleague" letter
From SAVE:
On April 4, 2011 without public comment or debate, the Department of Education issued its controversial "Dear Colleague" letter on sex assault. The directive requires federally supported universities to institute numerous changes to their policies and procedures regarding allegations of sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Concerned that the Dept. of Ed. policy fails to protect fundamental constitutional principles, over 50 editorials have criticized the mandate. SAVE and 12 other organizations have issued statements opposing the directive: click here
It's been over a year since Dept. of Ed. secretary Arne Duncan starting getting complaints, yet he's still disturbingly silent.
"Stonewalling these requests, and allowing false accusations of rape to continue, constitutes a parody of justice," notes SAVE spokesman Philip W. Cook in Unblinding Lady Justice: SAVE Calls on Dept. of Education to Respond to Civil Rights Complaints.
Seems Arne thinks he can ignore us. So we need your help. Tell Arne Duncan to rescind the Sexual Assault policy, immediately. Tell him once, tell him twice, tell him three times!

Your rights to own personal property...may be none
Act Now: Don't Let Copyright Holders Steal Our Property Rights!
From Demand Progress:
Do you really own the smartphone you’re using to read this email? If you sold your computer, would you be breaking the law? A federal court in New York says you would be.
It's unbelievable, but trademark and copyright holders really are trying to take away your right to sell things that you own: Please add your name at right to fight back.
The First-Sale Doctrine gives us the right to sell most property we own. But if the Supreme Court supports the lower court’s decision, we won't really “own” anything if it's from a different country. We expect them to issue a ruling later this year.
The President can urge the Court to side with consumers; then Congress will probably weigh in on the issue, no matter how the Court rules.
If we lose this fight, anybody who wants to resell foreign products, from Macbooks and iPhones to our clothing and textbooks, will have to ask copyright holders for permission first. And they'll have the right to deny it!
It's bad for so many reasons: It'll undermine Craigslist and Ebay, hurt the environment, increase incentives for manufacturers to move jobs off-shore, and effectively ban the traditional American yard sale.
To sign petition: click here
Sounds like you are renting rather than owning. This is a example of copyright lawsuits gone astray. The judge needs to do the right thing and rein in these out of control control freaks who like to mess up people's lives.

The militancy is working
If you're still asking why the militancy then you haven't been paying attention for the last few years on this blog. There have been those middle-of-the-road types that said we had to take the "moral high road" and never argue with our enemies,in this case feminists. (those taking the "moral high road" and pussies scared to act sure look a lot alike)This was the method applied by such groups such as "promise keepers". The weapons of promise keepers,the first men's army,are still in good condition and they should be considering they've never been fired and dropped only once. Surrender got us nowhere. Various moderate groups wanted to make peace with a force that wanted them dead or praying for death. The men's rights militancy is not only justified it is long overdue and we are seeing that it is working and working quite well too. We posted a lot of success stories and better news than in the past that is because the advocacy is working and the activism is accomplishing great results. We stay the course we can accomplish great things. In the U.S. Constitution the words "We The People" actually means we the people can make a difference. So if you haven't already send some pro-male email,sign some petitions to combat misandry,to take part in a boycott or comment feel free to do so. We are having an effect so let's stay the course.

On matriarchal society
Let's take a look at today's society. A few days ago some women did a sting on planned parenthood in which they asked the abortionist if they could abort the child because it was a girl and the abortionist said that was no problem. This organization got a lot of media exposure and comparing what was on the video to China and their preference for male children. What about male children? I wonder how many boys have been aborted because of their gender? Everyone points to China and its large male population but forget about America and its large female population. Certainly not all the men died in wars others died in other ways perhaps some of those were boys who were never given a chance at life. I sure the abortionist would have aborted a boy if asked but that wouldn't be done,certainly not by this organization because of its female preference. This story got exposure on O'Reilly which gave O'Reilly a chance to play white knight once again. But that brings us back to the original question: what about boys? Would some organization send in someone posing as a radical feminist who wanted to abort her unborn son? We are inundated by some so-called "war on women" that we forget the very real war on men. This blog is dedicated to exposing that war and fighting misandry. To give an example let's take the case of Desmond Hatchett,the man who fathered 30 children and has trouble paying child support. The reaction to Hatchett's situation has been extreme some even calling for Hatchett's castration. No one blames the women who had unprotected sex with Hatchett and to the best of my knowledge he hasn't been accused of rape so it appears the women were willing. On the other hand when Sandra Fluke demanded that we all pick up the tab for her birth control no one said to give her a hysterectomy. Rush Limbaugh made a comment that he didn't think the taxpayers should pick up the tab and for that he was crucified. So let me get this straight. A man who states he doesn't want to pay for someone else's birth control is worse than women who make castration threats? Sounds very loopy to me. What we have in America is a matriarchy that is basically one big S&M trip. With the women as the queen bees and men as the eunuch workers. The queens issue the orders and the pussywhipped enforcers carry out those orders. It's dominatrix/slave trip that the matriarchy has imposed upon us.

Judge stands up to gender bias
A Queens judge is blasting the city's Probation Department for going easier on teenage girls than boys - even when they commit the same crimes.
Family Court Judge John Hunt accused probation of gender bias for trying to spare all but the most violent girls from prison time and the scarlet letter of the juvenile delinquent.
A family court judge? WTF??? On the side of boys??? Must be flying giraffe season.
Hunt analyzed the cases of eight teenagers who had come before him - four boys and four girls - and found that probation routinely recommended tougher treatment for boys.
Take Queens eighth-graders Stephen C. and Jennifer S.
The teens took part in the robbery of a boy who was punched, kicked and choked before having his iPod wrested away. Probation recommended that Stephen be put on supervised probation while Jennifer should have her case eventually dismissed.
Judge Hunt disagreed Monday and ordered both teens put on probation for 18 months.
"The court could find no cogent reason why Jennifer S. should be treated differently than her accomplice, Stephen C.," Hunt wrote.
Hunt blamed a "seemingly bizarre, sterile and largely impersonal system" for the disparate treatment.
In an effort to trim the number of locked-up juveniles, the city partnered with the Vera Institute of Justice in 2003 to develop a computer-generated program that would take the guesswork out of probation officers' recommendations.
A higher score on the Probation Assessment Tool (PAT) means a recommendation that could lead to eventual dismissal of charges. A lower score means probation or lockup, not to mention the juvenile delinquent tag.
Hunt claims PAT routinely rewards girls with 14 extra points for gender alone, while boys get 0.
"The system contains a built-in gender bias in favor of female delinquents," Hunt writes.
Probation officials say the computer tool predicts the likelihood of a juvenile being rearrested based on a study of 763 similar cases.
"It is an assessment tool," said Ryan Dodge, a probation spokesman. "The court can always go against it. It is not set in stone."
Hunt said probation offered up no statistics to suggest boys were more likely to get in trouble again.

Hunt said probation offered up no statistics to suggest boys were more likely to get in trouble again.

A computer is making the decision human beings should be making? WTF?? Who programmed the computer? This should get a lot of cases overturned. To the the judge: thank you for doing the right thing,for being a responsible jurist while dishing out justice.

Mandate to leave the internet alone
From Campaign For Liberty:
Under the guise of "protecting consumers" like you and me with "net neutrality," "open access," and, of course, their favorite - "cybersecurity" - the statists have launched an all-out WAR for total control of the Internet.
But their real target is you and me.
And it's no secret they aren't going to stop unless you and I MAKE them.
Please help Campaign for Liberty fight back by signing the mandate supporting C4L's fight to protect Internet freedom.
