AMERICAN AWAKENING
Just remember one thing: The Obama phenomenon and the economic crisis are
brewing the perfect storm, in which a magnificent obsession collides with a
malignant deception that -- if we let it -- could unleash more social,
political and economic devastation upon us than we can handle.
Unfortunately, a reckoning may be what is needed for an American Awakening.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Debacle
This information is unbelievable!
This is very long but interesting read about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. Editor, Safe Money Report Chairman, Weiss Ratings, Inc.
It will be worth your time to read it. It is scary in light of the fact that the current investigation being conducted may lead to criminal actions.

MILTON FRIEDMAN
http://www.hoover.org/bios/friedman.html
Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman was painfully prophetic in his book, FREE TO CHOOSE, about what is happening to our economy now. Friedman aptly said that a society that puts equality over freedom shall have neither. A society that puts freedom over equality shall have a good measure of both.
It's time to save our freedom before it's too late…..
