Providing the general welfare...

....The preamble to the US constitution says nothing of the sorts. Liberals over time seem to have reversed what is says."We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America".

No where does it say we have to provide the general welfare, all it has to do is promote it. Basically encourage private charity. Thats about it. The only thing the government provides is the common defense... i.e. the Military. You liberals really need to read the constitution, and more importantly, the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. The founders were CRYSTAL clear on their intent.

I believe and always believe in private charity. People will donate their time and money. There are good people in this country. Orgnizations like the Red Cross are good because people will give. It gives them a good feeling. Think about when you do something for a good cause, you get a warm feeling deep down. You know what you did, and what you gave was for a good cause.

When the iron fist of government strikes down and demands money from the people you get resentment and negative feelings. The government then gives it to others who don't deserve it, and they generate animosity among the people. Animosity towards the government, animosity towards social programs, and animosity for welfare. People are less inclined to donate to good causes like churches, the Red Cross and the like because they are forced to do it thru the government.

I believe in "welfare" but it shouldn't be mandated by government. People who are genuinely disabled after exausting private contributions should be entitled to government welfare. Everyone else... get a job. I have two, you can't get one?

For all Pennsylvanians who care about their privacy rights

There is a class-action lawsuit underway against PennDot for stealing your identity. We are currently in the beginning stages, trying to get as many plaintiffs on our list as possible before filing this lawsuit.

In the words of Rep. Sam Rohrer, from his press conference:

"Exactly two years ago, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania entered into a $45 million contract with Viisage Technology, self-described as 'the industry leader in instant issue digital driver's licenses.' Viisage, later renamed L-1 Identity Solutions, became responsible for issuing Pennsylvania driver's licenses.

Under the authority of Governor Rendell, Viisage and PennDOT launched a new program in June 2006 known as FaceEXPLORER to be used in conjunction with the issuing of driver's licenses. This program uses an upgraded, high-definition photograph taken at a driver's license center to create a facial recognition template, or 'faceprint,' similar in purpose and uniqueness to a fingerprint. This faceprint is a form of biometrics based on the measurements of a person's unique, personal facial geometry. The faceprint goes beyond such easily recognizable physical features as haircut, glasses or facial hair and into an analysis of one's unique facial structure. Once this personally unique faceprint has been created, it is stored in a database to be used to compare against the faceprint of others. By these means, PennDOT and Viisage hoped to reduce identity fraud and theft. In reality, FaceEXPLORER has been a 'back-door' means to implement the REAL ID Act of 2005 without the consent or knowledge of either the legislature or the people."

Rep. Rohrer goes on to say that " . . Neither PennDOT nor Viisage has inherent authority nor have they been granted any exception to take biometric information from the citizens of the Commonwealth. . .The actions allowed by Governor Rendell further violates statutory law. . .Significantly, this issue constitutes a major Constitutional violation. . . "

Your biometric faceprint can be picked up by surveillance cameras to track your every move. This has to be stopped. Our biometric data must be destroyed/deleted!

We need to join together. This is a crucial moment that we cannot let slip away.
