The current and most recent scheme perpetuated by our government seems to be closer to becoming a reality. The universal health care promoted by the president and many members of Congress is a dangerous infection of Communism, and will wreck what is left of our nation.
Nowhere in our Constitution is the government authorized to even consider such a notion, let alone shove it down the throats of the American people. The whole scheme completely violates constitutional law, thereby making any member of Congress, who dares to vote for it, guilty of breaking the law.
If we had a Supreme Court with a backbone, then we could rest assured that the whole business would be thrown out due to its unconstitutionality. However, we do not even have that benefit.
We do have two resources: to write and call our respective members of Congress and demand that they oppose such legislation, and vote out of office any and all who vote for universal health care.
Some states, including Texas, are considering invoking the 10th Amendment in order to reject and nullify universal health care legislation should it pass. The States can and should do such a thing, and we wholly support them if they do. The States have the right to recall their sitting senators if they violate the state's wishes. Should this pass, then States should issue massive recalls of the traitorous senators and hold them responsible for their disastrous actions.
Already we have an economy that is on the brink of total collapse. Should universal health care be forced upon the American people, then we will be shoved over the edge of the cliff with the weight of national debt falling down upon us.

Facts About Hate Crimes
By Noah Cooke with Ray Perdue
I am writing this in response to federal hate crimes legislation. Keep in mind, the Jefferson Republican Party does not condone any acts of violence against anyone.
I will be using 2007 statistics because those are the most recent available. I also will only be concentrating on the more serious violent crimes, because if someone spray paints a mosque or Synagogue the P.C. police tend to go to the opposite extreme and a call it a hate crime. However, if a Baptist Church were to be vandalized it is labeled as just simple vandalism.
Now for the statistics:
In 2007 there were 1,408,337 violent crimes in the United States. Broken down there were:
Of these, the Justice Department considered nine murders two rapes and 1,907 aggravated assaults as hate crimes.
That means only .005% of murders, .000221% of rapes and .02% of aggravated assault victims were victims of hate crime according to the Justice Department.
The fact is the so-called hate crime victims make a very small percentage of the total amount victims of violent crimes.
The question the Jefferson Republicans have is this: do certain groups rate special laws by making crimes against them carry a greater punishment? We resoundingly and unequivocally say no!
The constitution guarantees Equal protection under the law. Not special protection for certain chosen groups, especially when the so-called hate crimes make up such a small percentage of the amount of violent crime taking place.
On a side note I would ask were is the anguish for those million or so victims of violent crimes who weren’t classified as hate crimes. Lastly, our position is to punish the crime, and the severity of the crime, no matter who the victim is. Do not attach a special label to crimes against certain groups, and call it a hate crime in order to increase the punishment just to pander to special interest groups.

JRP Announces New Forums
JRP returned this week to the Forum World, establishing the New Jefferson Group forums. The JRP and its associated political action group, ScotWatch, have existed in the Yahoo groups realm for the last fours years. William Potter feels that the time is right to move towards the forum-style format of exachnging information, views and opinions.
The new forum has been fully operational since last week, and has already received a number of hits and visits.

The JRP Message Is Spreading
Since the 2008 election, more are discovering that the two parties of the United States care little for the people and even less for the Constitution. There is a desire and a longing among a growing group of people to return this country to Jeffersonian governmental principles.
In the last few months independent branches of the Jefferson Republican Party have been organized in Arizona, California and New Mexico.
Noah Cooke of the Arkansas JRP said, "This [the next four years] can be a time for intense party building. I think we have seen that there is no real difference between the GOP and the dem[ocrat]s. We need to do some brainstorming and we need to come up with some concrete ideas about building our party. Freedom's greatest enemy is apathy."
Tracy Garcia has been hard at work in organizing the Arizona JRP. "I think the country really wants another party," Mr. Garcia said, "but nobody ever creates one with just good fundamental ideas!" JRP is that one party with good fundamental principles and ideas.
The Jefferson Republican Party can and should continue to grow. As the Democratic and "Republican" Parties continue to take this country down a road of increased socialism and "lite" Communism, more will understand that we do not need more of the same, but rather a return of what once was.

That's What Happens
...When you choose a washed up old "moderate" warmonger to represent your party in a national election.
And it happened today.
John McCain is not a man of the fabric of Jefferson or even Reagan. John McCain has ALWAYS been about himself and his own glory over the Republic and our Constitution.
The "moderates" and lefties went for a real Democrat, and the true Conservatives and Libertarians either stayed home, or did as I did and voted for Baldwin or one of the other candidates.
The so-Called Republicans asked for this humiliating defeat by rejecting men such as Dr. Paul and others and are now tasting their own fecal porridge.

What Lies Ahead?
The events of the last few weeks have been startling and frightening. Who would ever have thought, just a few short years ago, that we would see the government bailing out the big banks, mortgage companies and insurance giants? As these words are being written, it takes no stretch of one’s imagination to realize that complete economic collapse could be just around the corner. Our elected officials seem bent upon bringing such a catastrophe to our very doorsteps.
It is with these thoughts in mind, the Jefferson Republican Party issues this urgent plea to all citizens of the United States of America. Now is the time to take necessary measures to protect one’s family and property. The future is very uncertain. Should a complete economic collapse take place, we could be caught between a rioting populace and a government wielding the sword of martial law. It is not only wise, but also prudent, to insure that your family will be protected and provided for.
We can only hope that those who have the most to gain are only trying to use scare tactics and the element of fear in order to goad us in to abiding by their wishes and goals. We sincerely hope that these claims are only bluster, but it is best to prepare for the worst.
In 1776 Thomas Paine wrote in the opening line of The American Crisis, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” Paine had no idea that line would apply more to our day, than to his. These are trying times. Now more than ever, it is time for real men and women of character to take a stand for Liberty, else future generations may never know there ever was such a thing.

JEFFERSON REPUBLICANS VICTORIOUS
The Jefferson Republican Party, which is the TRUE Republican Party of Jefferson and Madison, had two members as candidates for office in Fyffe, Alabama, this council election and both were victorious. My opponent withdrew from the race, giving me the win by default. Councilman Fred Works laid waste to his opponent defeating him almost two to one. Works and myself will be the only members of the current council going into the new administration.
