Criminal Gardening

It's not about what's right or wrong. It's about the money - $5,000.

Some things are so absurd if they didn't actually happen you couldn't make them up.

Here is the story of man being fined $5,000 for growing too many organic vegetables in his backyard.

U.S. President Barack Obama greets the media as he walks on the South
Lawn of the White House upon his return to Washington, November 14,
2010. President Obama is back in Washington after a 10-day trip to Asia.

It could be a game-changer.

A plan in Arizona to require presidential candidates to prove their
eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is approaching critical mass, even
though it has just been introduced.

The proposal from state Rep. Judy Burges,
<http://www.azleg.gov/MembersPage.asp?Member_ID=41&Legislature=50&Session_ID=102>who
carried a similar plan that fell short last year only because of
political maneuvering, was introduced yesterday with 16 members of the
state Senate as co-sponsors.

It needs only 16 votes in the Senate to pass.

In the House, there are 25 co-sponsors, with the need for only 31 votes
for passage, and Burges told WND that there were several chamber members
who confirmed they support the plan and will vote for it, but simply
didn?t wish to be listed as co-sponsors.

The proposal,
<http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/50leg/1r/bills/hb2544p.htm>which
also is being taken up in a number of other states, is highly specific
and directly addresses the questions that have been raised by Barack
Obama?s occupancy of the White House. It says:

Within ten days after submittal of the names of the candidates, the
national political party committee shall submit an affidavit of the
presidential candidate in which the presidential candidate states the
candidate?s citizenship and age and shall append to the affidavit
documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen, prove
the candidate?s age and prove that the candidate meets the residency
requirements for President of the United States as prescribed in article
II, section 1, Constitution of the United States.

The critical phrases are ?natural born citizen? and the requirements of
?article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States,? which
imposes on the president a requirement not demanded of other state and
federal officeholders.

//Get the free, in-depth special report on eligibility that could bring
an end to Obama?s presidency
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php/?pageId=199373>.//

At the time the Constitution was written, many analysts agree, a
?natural born citizen? was considered to be a citizen born of two
citizen parents. If that indeed is correct, Obama never would have been
qualified to be president, as he himself has confirmed his father was a
Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, making Obama a
dual citizen with Kenyan and American parentage at his birth.

Other definitions have called for a ?natural born citizen? to be born of
citizen parents inside the nation.

There have been dozens of lawsuits and challenges over the fact that
Obama?s ?natural born citizen? status never has been documented. The
?Certification of Live Birth? his campaign posted online is a document
that Hawaii has made available to those not born in the state.

The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which
states, ?No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the
United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall
be eligible to the Office of President.?

The challenges to Obama?s eligibility allege he does not qualify because
he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims, or that he fails to
qualify because he was a dual citizen, through his father, of the U.S.
and the United Kingdom?s Kenyan terroritory when he was born and the
framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from
eligibility.

There are several cases still pending before the courts over Obama?s
eligibility. Those cases, however, almost all have been facing hurdles
created by the courts? interpretation of ?standing,? meaning someone who
is being or could be harmed by the situation. The courts have decided
almost unanimously that an individual taxpayer faces no damages
different from other taxpayers, therefore doesn?t have standing. Judges
even have ruled that other presidential candidates are in that position.

The result is that none of the court cases to date has reached the level
of discovery, through which Obama?s birth documentation could be brought
into court.

Obama even continued to withhold the information during a court-martial
of a military officer, Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, who challenged his
deployment orders on the grounds Obama may not be a legitimate
president. Lakin was convicted and sent to prison.

Burges told WND she?s asked the proposal to be assigned to the
Government Committee.

?I think every American should consider it of prime importance to ensure
that all candidates for the highest elected position in our nation meet
all constitutional requirements,? she told WND. ?We do not accept the
federal government?s unconstitutional treatment of states as one of
their extended branches.?

The Arizona bill also requires attachments, ?which shall be sworn to
under penalty of perjury,? including ?an original long form birth
certificate that includes the date and place of birth, the names of the
hospital and the attending physician and signatures of the witnesses in
attendance.?

It also requires testimony that the candidate ?has not held dual or
multiple citizenship and that the candidate?s allegiance is solely to
the United States of America.?

?If both the candidate and the national political party committee for
that candidate fail to submit and swear to the documents prescribed in
this section, the secretary of state shall not place that presidential
candidate?s name on the ballot in this state,? the state plan explains.

The governor?s office is occupied by Republican Jan Brewer, who has had
no difficulty in bringing direct challenges to Washington, such as a
year ago when lawmakers adopted provisions that allowed state law
enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration law. The state?s
move prompted an immediate court challenge by Washington.

WND also has reported
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=230045>that similar
efforts are under way in Montana, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Texas:

**Montana**

Under Montana?s plan by Rep. Bob Wagner,
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=248489>candidates
would have to document their eligibility and also provide for protection
for state taxpayers to prevent them from being billed for ?unnecessary
expense and litigation? involving the failure of ?federal election
officials? to do their duty.

?There should be no question after the fact as to the qualifications [of
a president],? Wagner told WND. ?The state of Montana needs to have
[legal] grounds to sue for damages for the cost of litigation.?

Wagner?s legislation cites the Constitution?s requirement that the
president hold ?natural born citizenship? and the fact that the
?military sons and daughters of the people of Montana and all civil
servants to the people of Montana are required by oath to defend and
uphold the Constitution of the United States and Montana against enemies
foreign and domestic.?

But there are estimates of up to $2 million being spent on Obama?s
defense against eligibility lawsuits. There have been dozens of them and
some have been running for more than two years. So Wagner goes a step
beyond.

?Whereas, it would seem only right and just to positively certify
eligibility for presidential and congressional office at the federal
level; and whereas, it is apparent that the federal authority is
negligent in the matter; therefore, the responsibility falls upon the
state; and whereas, this act would safeguard the people of Montana from
unnecessary expense and litigation and the possibility that federal
election officials fail in their duty and would ensure that the State of
Montana remains true to the Constitution,? says his proposed legislation.

**Pennsylvania**

In Pennsylvania, there was excitement over the GOP majority of both
houses of the state legislature as well as the governor?s office.

Assemblyman Daryl Metcalfe <http://www.repmetcalfe.com/>told WND he is
working on a proposal that would demand documentation of constitutional
eligibility.

He described it as a ?problem? that there has been no established
procedure for making sure that presidential candidates meet the
Constitution?s requirements for age, residency and being a ?natural born
citizen.?

?We hope we would be able to pass this legislation and put it into law
before the next session,? he said.

He said any one of the states imposing such a requirement would be
effective in solving his concerns.

?I think the public relations nightmare that would ensue if any
candidate would thumb their noses at a single state would torpedo their
campaign,? he told WND.

**Georgia**

Rep. Mark Hatfield <http://www.wnd.com/mhatfield@wayxcable.com>has
confirmed to WND that he will have a similar proposal pending.

He had introduced the legislation at the end of last year?s session to
put fellow lawmakers on alert that the issue was coming.

?I do plan to reintroduce the bill,? he told WND. ?We?ll move forward
with trying to get it before a committee.?

In Georgia, Republicans hold majorities in both houses of the
legislature as well as ?every constitutional statewide office,? he noted.

?I would be optimistic that we can [adopt the legislation],? he said.

Hatfield said if only one or two states adopt such requirements, it
readily will be apparent whether a candidate has issues with eligibility
documentation or not. And while he noted a president could win a race
without support from a specific state, a failure to qualify on the
ballot ?would give voters in other states pause, about whether or not a
candidate is in fact qualified,? he said.

?My goal is to make sure any person that aspires to be president meets
the constitutional requirements,? he said. ?This is a first step in that
direction.?

**Texas**

WND reported <http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=229373>on
a bill prefiled for the Texas Legislature by Rep. Leo Berman
<http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/member-page/?district=6>, R-Tyler,
that would require such documentation.

Berman?s legislation, House Bill 295, is brief and simple:

It would add to the state election code the provision: ?The secretary of
state may not certify the name of a candidate for president or
vice-president unless the candidate has presented the candidate?s
original birth certificate indicating that the person is a natural-born
United States citizen.?
<http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/82R/billtext/html/HB00295I.htm>

It includes an effective date of Sept. 1, 2011, in time for 2012
presidential campaigning.

State Rep. Leo Berman

Berman told WND he?s seen neither evidence nor indication that Obama
qualifies under the Constitution?s requirement that a president be a
?natural-born citizen.?

?If the federal government is not going to vet these people, like they
vetted John McCain, we?ll do it in our state,? he said.

He noted the Senate?s investigation into McCain because of the
Republican senator?s birth in Panama to military parents.

Berman also said there will be pressure on any lawmaker who opposes the
bill, since voters would wonder why they wouldn?t want such basic data
about a president revealed. And he said even if one state adopts the
requirement, there will be national implications, because other states
would be alerted to a possible problem.

?If Obama is going to run for re-election in 2012, he?ll have to show
our secretary of state his birth certificate and prove he?s a
natural-born citizen,? he said. ?This is going to be significant.?

Berman said he?s convinced there are problems with Obama?s eligibility,
or else his handlers would not be so persistent in keeping the
information concealed.

A year ago, polls indicated that roughly half of American voters were
aware of a dispute over Obama?s eligibility. Recent polls, however, by
organizations including CNN, show that roughly six in 10 American voters
hold serious doubts that Obama is eligible under the Constitution?s
demands.

Other state plans also might be in the works but unannounced yet.
Officials with the Denver-based National Conference of State
Legislatures said they were not tracking bills in development.

But Orly Taitz, <http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=18173>the California
lawyer who has worked on a number of the highest-profile legal
challenges to Obama, said efforts are under way now in Missouri and
Oklahoma, too.

She said the bill is expected to be successful in Missouri where there
is a GOP majority in the legislature and a GOP governor?s office, and in
Oklahoma, where last year a similar plan failed by only one vote in the
state Senate.

She encouraged residents of Tennessee, New Hampshire, South Dakota,
California, Maine, New Mexico, South Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey and
Iowa to contact their lawmakers, as there has been some interest expressed.

?We need eligibility bills filed in each and every state of the union ?
as it shows the regime that we are still the nation of law and the
Constitution, that the Constitution matters and state representatives
and senators are ready to fight for the rule of law. During the last
election there were some 700 more Republican state assemblyman elected
all over the country, as the nation is not willing to tolerate this
assault on our rights and our Constitution any further,? she said.

Last year, several other states listened to proposals that could have
had an impact on eligibility documentation. In New Hampshire, officials
wanted to require candidates to meet the ?qualifications contained in
the U.S. Constitution.? In Oklahoma, lawmakers heard a plan to let
voters decide the issue, and in South Carolina, the plan was to prevent
candidates from being on the ballot unless ?that person shows conclusive
evidence that he is a legal citizen of the United States.?

Further, several other states discussed requirements for candidates, but
they did not specifically address the Article 2, Section 1
constitutional compliance, so it?s unclear whether they would have
addressed Obama?s situation.

There also was, during the last Congress, Rep. Bill Posey?s bill
<http://posey.house.gov/> at the federal level.

Posey?s H.R. 1503 stated:

//?To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the
principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office
of President to include with the committee?s statement of organization a
copy of the candidate?s birth certificate, together with such other
documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets
the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the
Constitution.?//

The bill also provided:

//?Congress finds that under ? the Constitution of the United States, in
order to be eligible to serve as President, an individual must be a
natural born citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 35
years and has been a resident within the United States for at least 14
years.?//

It had more than a dozen sponsors, and while it died at the end of the
last Congress, there are hopes the GOP majority in the House this year
will move such a plan forward.

There also is a petition, already signed by tens of thousands, to state
lawmakers asking them to make sure the next president of the United
States qualifies under the Constitution?s eligibility requirements.
<http://www.wnd.com/validationofbarackobama>

?What we need are hundreds of thousands of Americans endorsing this
strategy on the petition ? encouraging more action by state officials
before the 2012 election. Imagine if just one or two states adopt such
measures before 2012. Obama will be forced to comply with those state
regulations or forgo any effort to get on the ballot for re-election.
Can Obama run and win without getting on all 50 state ballots? I don?t
think so,? said Joseph Farah, CEO of WND, who is behind the idea of the
petition.

An earlier petition had been directed at all controlling legal
authorities at the federal level to address the concerns expressed by
Americans, and it attracted more than half a million names.
<http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=81550>

For 18 months, Farah has been one of the few national figures who has
steadfastly pushed the issue of eligibility, despite ridicule,
name-calling and ostracism at the hands of most of his colleagues. To
date, in addition to the earlier petition, he has:

* erected billboards around the country demanding, ?Where?s the
birth certificate??:
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.614/.f>
* produced a 40-page special report on the subject;
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.530/.f>
* produced a 60-minute documentary video primer on the issue;
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.730/.f>
* manufactured yard and rally signs to bring attention to the topic;
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.662/.f>
* pledged to donate at least $15,000 to any hospital in Hawaii or
anywhere else that provides proof Obama was born there and given
you an opportunity to raise the amount;
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.757/.f>
* created a line of T-shirts you can wear to appearances by the
president to raise visibility of the issue;
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.903/.f>
* created a fund to which you can donate to further the kind of
investigative reporting into this matter only this company has
performed over the last two years;
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.697/.f>
* launched a line of postcards you can use to keep the issue alive;
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.723/.f>
* distributed thousands of bumper stickers asking, ?Where?s the
birth certificate??
<http://superstore.wnd.com/s.nl/c.811217/id.511/.f>

Farah says all those campaigns are continuing.

?Obama may be able to continue showing contempt for the Constitution and
the rule of law for the next two years, as he has demonstrated his
willingness to do in his first year in office,? he wrote in a column.
?However, a day of reckoning is coming. Even if only one significant
state, with a sizable Electoral College count, decides a candidate for
election or re-election has failed to prove his or her eligibility, that
makes it nearly impossible for the candidate to win. It doesn?t take all
50 states complying with the law to be effective.?

Farah about this campaign, e-mail WND. <mailto:press@wnd.com>

Fwd: Wireless Provider Follows Verizon in Suing FCC to Undo Net Neutrality

http://bit.ly/gtGeZo

Wireless Provider Follows Verizon in Suing FCC to Undo Net Neutrality

by Seton Motley

Metro PCS is an American wireless phone service provider – with coverage reaching about 90% of the nation. Their slogan is "Wireless for All" – and their different price packages are certainly readily accessible for most people.

Including a single smart phone-specific $40 a month (absurd taxes and fees included) 4G network plan for unlimited talk, text and web browsing – and access to the bandwidth hog YouTube.

Some other plans they offer are:

A $50 plan that has everything above plus international and "premium" text messaging, the MetroNavigator GPS directional service, the ScreenIT caller ID app, mobile instant messaging, corporate e-mail, 1GB of additional data access, and the MetroSTUDIO video service.
A $60 plan that has all of the above plus unlimited data access and MetroSTUDIO "premium content"—18 video-on-demand channels plus audio downloads.

Those of us now wincing at the thought of our monthly cell bills are also simultaneously thinking – Metro PCS is a pretty good deal. It is certainly one of the more "public-friendly" out there right now.

You would think. Ahh, but the Public Interest Groups (PIGs) have found fault with Metro PCS.

At the behest of no one, Media Marxist PIG outfit Free Press went whining to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) – and "call(ed) on (them) to investigate Metro PCS for Internet blocking."

In other words – they are accusing Metro PCS of a Network Neutrality violation.

Never mind that the FCC hasn't yet filed its December 21^st totally unlawful Internet power grab order – executed so as to then unlawfully impose Net Neutrality. So it may not yet even be enforceable.

Never mind that Verizon has filed already filed a lawsuit to undo in expedited fashion said order.

In response to Free Press' caterwauling, MetroPCS also filed suit.

The real problem here is the perpetually moving goal post that is "Net Neutrality." Its eternally expansive and elastic definition is changed to suit the Media Marxist moment, and "fit" whatever free market situation the PIGs wish to warp.

It is these Leftist groups that made up the ridiculous notion of Net Neutrality in the first place. An invented solution – with which the Media Marxists then went running around looking for a "problem" to which to apply it.

Net Neutrality is the PIGs way of getting the government's hooks into the Internet. The Web has grown – without any real government involvement at all – into a free speech, free market Xanadu. A whole new world now making up 1/6^th of our national economy – and of limitless First Amendment revelry. Including a whole lot of less government, free market talk and talkers – which is not what the Media Marxists wish to see or hear.

So born was Net Neutrality – not to make the Net neutral, but to neutralize the Net.

In 2006, there were but four Net Neutrality principles – to which everyone agreed, no problem. Then with President Barack Obama and FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski came two more – which are far more pernicious. Media Marxist Free Press has a lengthy list of even more.

Net Neutrality used to mean the Internet Service Provider (ISP) could not block its customers from receiving lawful content over "the last mile" – meaning the last little bit of the Internet between the ISPs and their customers.

But in the last several months the Media Marxists have come up with several new, very different and incredibly expansive alleged examples of Net Neutrality "violations."

There was the Fox-Cablevision situation. Their mutual broadcast contract expired, so Fox pulled their shows from Cablevision TVs, and briefly blocked their Internet content from Cablevision Web subscribers.

After all, it's their content – they can do with it what they wish, right?

Wrong, say the Media Marxists – Net Neutrality now means that Fox (and everyone else) must provide their content – for free.

Until this incident, the PIGs had rigidly insisted that Net Neutrality was not about content control. Now we know it is.

There is the Comcast-Level 3 situation. Level 3 works with the home-movie monster Netflix, who is looking to move as much as possible away from postal delivery of their movies to Internet delivery thereof. It currently costs them 1/20^th as much to deliver via the Web than via the U.S. Postal Service.

But Netflix's ongoing shift to an ever more Internet-intensive delivery model makes them an ever-growing bandwidth hog. And that bandwidth is not in the "last mile" – it is in the Internet "backbone" where a whole host of companies interlock their networks via long established "peering" contracts with one another so as to best deliver content to their customers' "last miles."

So of course Netflix should pay for all this extra bandwidth they'll be hogging, right?

Wrong, say the Media Marxists and Level 3 – Net Neutrality now means that the "peering" system that has existed for, well, ever is now a giant heap of Net Neutrality violations.

That's not an assault on the Internet, is it? Exploding a complex mesh of all-party-agreeable contracts that have existed since virtually the beginning of the Web?

And if Netflix doesn't have to pay for all that bandwidth hogging, guess who does? That would be you and me. Hooray.

Way to look out for the consumers, all you "consumer" groups.

And now we have the Metro PCS situation. Where the cellular provider is giving consumers many options from which to choose – some of which do not allow full access to the Internet. Which means the consumer – not Metro PCS – is "blocking" his or her access to the Internet based upon the phone plan choice he or she makes. Voluntarily.

Because after all, not everyone wants or needs full-on Internet access on their phones. Many, many people don't even want it in their homes – 90+% of residences have access to broadband, but only 66% actually choose to get it.

So if someone wants, you know, a regular cell phone – should they be forced to pay for Internet service they're not going to use?

The "consumer" groups – under the mantle of Net Neutrality – say Yes. And that is patently absurd.

The ever-mutating Net Neutrality is very similar to ~~Global Warming~~ Climate Change. It's hot? It's Global Warming. It's snowing? ~~Global Warming~~ Climate Change. There's an earthquake? Flood? A stiff breeze? It's all Climate Change – and government is the only answer.

So too is Net Neutrality morphed to meet the situational Machiavellian needs of the Media Marxists. Every free market situation is a Net Neutrality "violation" – and government is the only answer.

But to paraphrase the bumper sticker, if government is the answer – it must be a really stupid question.

Makin' it in Massachusetts

2 of our last 4 House Speakers have been convicted of felonies from
bribery and extortion to obstruction of justice. The third goes to
trial next month.

Last month State Senator Diane Wilkerson was convicted of bribery
(federal) and sentenced to 2 years in prison.

Yesterday, Boston City Councilor Chuck Turner was convicted of bribery
and sentenced to 3 years. He is 70 years old, and after sentencing
demanded an autopsy if he should die in prison.

Meanwhile, former senate president, and UMass president William L.
Bulger is pulling down 300 large for the rest of his life from the
state. He took the 5th 74 times regarding the whereabouts of his
brother James "Whitey" Bulger, number 2 on the FBI's Most Wanted list,
after Osama bin Laden

Democrats all.

We're kinda proud of our corruption here.

JP Important for Job Seekers

Salam Alaikum

Its forced advice to all job seekers who are looking forward to move and work in Gulf countries, keep all your papers (documents) Original and Photo copies attested by Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan, according to new rules in many Gulf countries now any paper submitted, even for job applicaiton must be attested by Embassy of Pakistan in that country, and Embassy does not attest any paper until its not attested by Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After that when employer goes for your visa, its must Original Documents attested by Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan, Pakistani Embassy in that Country and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of that country or Embassy of that Country in Pakistan.

Rules are getting tough and more tough for Pakistanis, just applying for job costs more than 100 DHMs, keep preparing yourself with short courses like Project Management, Stress Management, Accountancy along with IT technology and English, specially communication (Oral & Written).

Best Regards,

Shaharyar Hyder
