Yet, despite those freedoms, in New Mexico you can still be forced to pay union dues against your will. That’s correct.

A few politically ambitious governors have signed right-to-work laws lately, but it’s an idea that frequently loses in state houses across the country. . . Read Complete Report

For the first time in decades, the U.S. is no longer the largest economy in the world, and China has become number one, the International Monetary Fund says.

The IMF recently released the latest numbers for the world economy, stating that China will produce $17.6 trillion in terms of goods and services–  compared with $17.4 trillion for the U.S.

$9,000,000,000,000 MISSING From The Federal Reserve!!! (video)

With the current condition of our county’s economy it’s sickening that something like this is happening and yet the people who are suppose to be handling our money just seem to use the old outdated answer.  . . “OH WELL.”  But then they are just following the present agenda of the Controllers; strip the country’s middle class of all its accumulated wealth and give it away. And there is only one man talking about getting rid of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act scam and that’s Ron Paul. Of course the Controllers media tries its best not to talk about the second place Republican Runner.  Why am I not surprised? Sick, Sick, Sick. . . EDITOR
