POPSFed Up With The Truth Movement - The Actvism Challenge http://www.youtube.com/911truthnetwork why are we becoming so lazy? It really is not that hard to go speak to citizens about 9/11 truth and various topics, nor is it hard to spare 5.00 and get many copies of fliers at your local libraries. I don't know if I should stay on youtube, as I do feel I am contributing to the laziness of a once active movement, share this video to get people in the streets, out in public, and motivated.

POPSA terminally ill girl is back with family and friends - thanks to FedEx
I don’t mean to use a human tragedy for political message purposes, but this had me crying with pride and sympathy – it is just touching. Sadly, it fits all too well with the current debate over government control vs individual choice (and responsibility). This giving part of America is poised to be snuffed out by Obamacare. Companies can decide on their own when it is time to just fill the need and forget the bottom line, as Fed Ex did in this case. I have no doubt a US Post Office manager or worker would jump into the breach and do the same if they could. But the difference here is a government run entity is bound by libraries full of regulations. They cannot make an exception, they cannot redirect resources. They cannot perform the simple act of human charity without permission. This little girl’s family did not have time for a waiting list like the long one in Canada. And the evil private company (for profit) stepped in and made it happen. Waaaahhhhhh corporations....wahhh

POPSLibraries plan to cut hours Bad idea, bad times. I don't care about political affiliations but libraries in the USA appear to be in trouble under Obama's watch and that's a bad sign.

POPSChristians told to take down green campaign posters that mention God by Camden council Doesn't feel so good when the shoe is on the other foot now does it? Story continues: "A group organiser said: “This time last year we held a Green Fair for the Feast of St Francis, which was a great community event. Our local MP Frank Dobson and many town councillors came. “We had a good deal of support from Camden Council who had stalls promoting recycling and compost. I don’t understand why they they won’t allow us to put up our posters this year.” Mike Judge, a campaigning group for the Christian Institute, added: “Camden’s decision is ridiculous and most people will roll their eyes and shake their heads at it. It would be laughable, if it were not so serious. “But it is serious because it reveals a problem deep at the heart of too many public bodies. They think it’s OK to trample on Christianity in a way that they would never do with any other religious group. That complacency has to stop.” "

POPSNo More Fines - A traffic safety revolution * Small villages with populations of 200 people will not be fielding 20 man police department to patrol the half-mile of Interstate that passes through the village boundaries. * County Sheriffs’ departments and city police departments will redirect the man hours spent operating speed traps to dealing with real crimes and providing emergency services. * High profile enforcement binges will become rare events. * There will be far fewer people driving on suspended licenses which will result in more insured drivers (no license, no insurance coverage). * Significantly reduced case loads in traffic courts, perhaps resulting in the return of due process for persons charged with a traffic violation. * And, the allure of ticket cameras will also fade into oblivion.
