Americans Stand Up Against Radical Islam in New York We Will Not Submit!

 

Not one major network sent a satellite truck or camera crew to this event. Without bloggers, this newsworthy event would have remained unknown to the public and history. Where the hell was the news media and Mayor Bloomberg. You can figure out with ease who the bastard was who ordered the media not to show up. Don't miss this...Make sure you pass this on.....

 

On Sunday, June 6th, a multi-ethnic, multi-racial coalition of Americans opposed to Islamic violence and intolerance rallied at the site of the World Trade Center in New York City .

 

 

9/11 families were joined by immigrants from India, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Africa, Iran and Europe to show opposition to the construction of a mega-mosque at Ground Zero. Others flew in from overseas to speak or just to share their particular ethnic communities experiences at the hands of Muslims.

These are parents and spouses of firefighters killed on 9/11. The rally took place just a minutes walk from Ladder 10 Firehouse, where their loved ones were stationed for duty that terrible day. Ladder 10 lost seven firefighters.

 

 

Crowd estimates ranged from 5,000 (NYPD) to 10,000. The crowd overflowed the police barrier enclosures that ran the full length of two city blocks. This photo shows the enclosure in front of the stage at the intersection of Liberty and Church Streets. The second enclosure ran the length of the next block and can be seen on the other side of the traffic lights.

 

Thousands of additional participants filled the treed area of Zuccotti Park .

 

 

Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are the founders of STOP ISLAMIZATION OF AMERICA, which sponsored the rally. Ms. Geller is a citizen journalist and blogger who runs the human rights web site Atlas Shrugs. Mr. Spencer is the author of several books on Islam and head of the influential web site Jihad watch. Pamela Geller:

 

Ground Zero is a war memorial, Ground Zero is a burial ground. We are asking for sensitivityIt is unconscionable to build a shrine to the very ideology that inspired the jihadist attacks at Ground Zero, right there. We are asking the imam Rauf and Daisy Khan to be sensitive. For mutual respect and mutual understanding that is demanded of us every day.

There's a hair-trigger sensitivity in the Muslim world, you can't run the cartoons, you can't say Mohammed, this is offensive. This is an offensive mosque. To build a shrine, an Islamic flag of conquest on the sacred ground the cherished site, of a conquered land. This is historic, this is Islamic history. Its what they do. The St. Sofia in Turkey , the al-Quds, at the holiest Jewish site in Israel . Not here. This is where we take a stand. We must take a stand. We must say no.

 

I do not believe that the landmarks commission controlled by Mayor Bloomberg, is going to stop this mosque. Its not going to happen. Heres Omar Muhamedi, on his human rights council, a CAIR lawyer, who sued the airlines and the Jane and John Does that saw something and said something on those airplanes, if you remember. Thats whos on his human rights commission. It aint gonna happen with Bloomberg. We have to make it happen. You have to get involved. (Pamela Geller)

 

Police enclosure on left, with crowd flowing out of park on right. The new Tower & and World Trade Center site are in the background. The green tent, center, is located immediately behind the stage.

 

 

Port Authority and NYPD officers kept watch over the rally and were well aware of the need for heightened security at this event. One of their own Port Authority officers, WTC Sergeant Alan T. De Vona was on duty at the World Trade Center on 9/11, 2001, and was one of the first to help victims of the terrorist attack. He spoke these words to the SIOA rally:

 

ts almost nine years. Im hoping that America is watching. Im hoping that America is remembering. Because, make no mistake. September 11 was an act of war. And thank the military that has lost almost 5,000 troops from that day, defending us. I dont know what to say to jar America s memory. I want America to remember.

 

Port Authority Police and FDNY firefighters are seen here gathered beneath this banner.?

 

 

The issues at stake will certainly affect the heart of American freedom, democracy, cultural values and tolerance. America is a tolerant country that allows for the free worship of all its citizens. But our tolerance has limits. Do we have to tolerate intolerant Islamic ideology and Muslims who preach intolerant Islam?

 

Hindu human rights activists Narain Kataria, Prasad Yalamanchi and unidentified friend came from Mississippi and Chicago with banners and flyers highlighting the radical statements of imam Rauf and his jihadist roots.

Pamela Geller is greeted by Hindu human rights activists Prasad Yalamanchi and Narain Kataria.

 

Bhupinder Singh Bhurji, Pamela Geller, and Robert Spencer. Singh Bhurji is the president of the ?NAMDHARI SIKH FOUNDATION. The foundation is a member of the Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam (HRCARI). HRCARI is a coalition of Hindus, Sikhs, Christians from Sudan, Egypt and Iraq, moderate Muslims and Jews who are victims and targets of radical Islam around the globe. He said, at another rally:

 

Radical Islamists are killing people in India , trying to dominate that nation. And here too they come with violence against infidels. We are infidels united, standing together, brown, black and white, against this epochs fascist movement. Radical Islam wants to dominate entire world. They want everyone to surrender. Islam radical or otherwise. They want to put the Islamic flag on White House.?

 

Because of Islamic terrorism, America and the world have seen massive new security measures become a way of life. Anyone openly critical of Islam, or terrorist ideology, must surround themselves with security, or live in hiding. Those courageous enough to confront Islamism are criticized by the cowards and appeasers of the left who seek safety by supporting the enemy. Moderate Muslims were silent when Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered in Amsterdam , just as moderate Muslims in the United States are generally reluctant to speak out against violent Islam. Moderate Muslims also face great danger in speaking out.?

Geller and Spencer will press on despite the danger. They hope to inspire Americans to stand up and say enough of political correctness and work to stem the galloping islamization of America and Europe .

 

 

Friends,

Have you seen anything about this story on the evening news??

 

Of course you haven't!   Because the media is in lock step with the Muslims.

 

So please forward this email to all those you know who feel the way you and I do about this country . . .

EXCELLENT ARTICLE.  NEVER EVER WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT THIS WOULD COME OUT OF ASPEN, CO .....
http://www.aspentimes .com/article/20100228/ASPENWEEKLY/100229854/


 
Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation
Gary Hubbell
Aspen Times Weekly          February 2010


 

Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America 's future. He is the best thing ever.

Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America 's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.

That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America ..

Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.

Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.

Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.

We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.

But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.

 A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support.. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.

Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 years - the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

Is Your Local Mosque 'Moderate'

district50ablog.blogspot.com



Is Your Local Mosque 'Moderate' or 'Radical'?
(Please circulate)

Ask the Imams of Mosques, the Muslim leaders, and the Islamic organizations in the US and worldwide to sign this declaration (See below)

by Tawfik Hamid

www.tawfikhamid.com


After the problem of Ground Zero Mosque has escalated it becomes an urgent necessity to distinguish 'Moderate' from 'Radical' Islam. Without making such a distinction the US and the rest of the world will remain divided regarding this issue. Debates about the issue can be endless unless we define the words 'radical' and 'moderate'.

Mosque leaders, Islamic scholars, and organizations who want to be considered Moderates MUST clearly and unambiguously declare the following declaration in their media outlets and on their websites.

I suggest that you send this declaration to Mosque leaders and the Islamic organizations inside the US and worldwide to see if they are ready to accept such a declaration or not.

Please feel free to circulate this newsletter so that we can start a process that allows us to distinguish radical from moderate Islam.


Declaration of Beliefs of Muslim Moderates -

I (We) are Muslims who want contemporary understandings of Islam to replace currently predominant harsh and radical (Salafi/Wahabbi) interpretations of our religion. We therefore declare that:

1-    Redda Law, the Sharia Law that allows the killing of Muslims who convert to other faiths, must be banned in Islamic teachings and in Sharia legal doctrine. Islamic countries that practice Sharia must stop the practice of this law and must admit that Freedom of belief and the right to convert to other faith or believe is a basic right that must be given to all Muslims.

2-    Current mainstream Sharia doctrines justify the use of violence against women. They encourage men to beat their wives to discipline them. They allow women accused of adultery to be stoned to death. These doctrines are barbarically inhumane, non-egalitarian, and teach Muslim children to be violent. These teachings must be ended by reinterpreting the Islamic text that justifies such violence.

3-    Traditional Sharia doctrines teach Muslims that they must engage in war so that Islam will dominate the world. When Islam becomes dominant, Non-Muslims are offered three options: to convert to Islam, to pay Jizzia (a humiliating tax), or to be killed. These doctrines run contrary to modern respect for diversity and for personal freedom of speech and belief. This understanding of Jihad that seeks domination of Islam over other peoples must no longer be regarded as an Islamic value and its teaching as a duty for Muslims must end.

The early Islamic wars known as "Futohaat Islameia" were fought to implement this doctrine of Jihad. These wars therefore should now be regarded as un-Islamic and un-justifiable.

4-    Jews are individuals who deserve the same respect accorded to all individuals. They should not be called "pigs and monkeys." The Islamic teaching that Muslims must fight and kill all Jews before the end of days is totally incorrect and unacceptable as it does not exist in the Quran. All teachings that encourage anti-Semitic attitudes, violence or disrespect toward Jews must be declared un-Islamic.

5-    Slavery is a crime against humanity. All Sharia laws that justify slavery in our modern times must not be taught any more. Muslim scholars must have a clear and loud voice against slavery.

6-    Islamic Sharia laws currently permit the killing homosexuals. These laws also are advocating a crime against our fellow human beings. They must be declared un-Islamic and their implementation must be considered criminal.

Signed,

Dr. Tawfik Hamid


Comment:

The above violent teachings, which currently are taught in mainstream Islamic books in America, are implemented in countries that allow governance according to Sharia Law. Future Muslim generations must be protected from these destructive doctrines, interpretations and customs.

These violent Sharia doctrines must be replaced with clear and unconditional explanations of why they no longer are valid.

Anything short of a fully clear and unequivocal stand against these doctrines indicates passive approval. Therefore, all Islamic leaders who genuinely consider themselves to be Muslim moderates must post these principles in English and in Arabic in full public view on their websites and declare them in their media outlets.

Failure to publicly post and support these principles should be interpreted as clear evidence that a leader's mosque or Islamic organization must be considered radical.

Fw: ANOTHER OBAMA SURPRISE

Thanks Gman

2011 W-2 Tax Forms and Obamacare

Should you want to verify this, go to http://www.thomas.gov/, enter
"HR 3590" in the search box and look for "CRS Summaries."  This is
what you'll find.

Title IX Revenue Provisions—Subtitle A:  Revenue Offset "(Sec. 9002)
Requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee
the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored group health
coverage that is excludable from the employee's gross income
(excluding the value of contributions to flexible spending
arrangements)."

Starting in 2011—next year—the W-2 tax form sent by your employer will
be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are
provided.   It doesn't matter if you're retired.  Your gross income
WILL go up by the amount of insurance your employer paid for.  So
you’ll be required to pay taxes on a larger sum of money that you
actually received.  Take the tax form you just finished for 2009 and
see what $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 additional gross income does to your
tax debt.  That's what you'll pay next year.  For many it puts you
into a
much higher bracket.  This is how the government is going to buy
insurance for fifteen (15) percent that don't have insurance and it's
only part of the tax increases, but it's not really a "tax increase"
as such, it a redefinition of your taxable income.

Also, go to Kiplinger's and read about the thirteen (13) tax changes
for 2010 that could affect you.

Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to
every single person in your address book.  People have the right to
know the truth because an election is coming in November.  So vote
intelligently, based on your values.   But also adjust your tax
withholding, or increase your savings, so that you aren't surprised
and put in a jam when your federal income taxes are due on April 15,
2012.

Fight organized crime!  Re-elect no one.

How did Jefferson know?

How did  Jefferson  know?

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:  "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."





When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as  Europe.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff109181.html>  


The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff122881.html>  


It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff136389.html>  


I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff136410..html>  


My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff125076..html>  


The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff100991..html>  


The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff109180.html>  


To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasjeff157246..html>  


Thomas  Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property - until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.'
I WISH WE COULD GET THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!

When he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade (tax) ... people said it didn't matter.

 

When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State, people finally woke up ... but it was too late.

 

Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society.

 

All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ?

 

If you are an Obama Supporter don't be angry with me because I think Barrack Hussein Obama is a socialist. Far too many facts support he is indeed a Socialist. If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalists, Libertarians all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE . Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran: our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.

 

Question.... will you delete this, or pass it on to others who don't know about O'bama "s actions and plans for the America, so that they may know how to vote in November, and the ensuing years?

It's your decision.

 

IT DOES MATTER!

Monkies and Congress

district50ablog.blogspot.com


Another great offering by a regular contributor Gman. I don't know where he gets these jewels, But I am going to have a talk with soon.
Enjoy

Monkeys         

 

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes the attempt with same result, all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.

To his shock, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is attacked.

Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.

Why not?

Because as far as they know, that is the way it has always been done around here.

And that, my fellow monkeys, is how Congress operates.... .
We need to REPLACE all the original monkeys this November.

Another wonderful email sent to me by the Gman. I don't know where he find them, but this is another jewel. Thanks.

A worthwhile reminder …

The Washington Post babbled about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough,...... A lot of people swallow this nonsense. So once more, a short civics lesson.    
 
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
 
For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.
 
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:    

 

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.  That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
 
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
 
  
Note that our country had a very tough time dealing with the 9/11 attack.  It sent the economy into a tailspin and caused us to spend many billions on domestic security, etc.  Much of that government spending post 9/11 was stimulus to get the economy working again and to get things back to normal. The magnitude of the psychological shock caused by that very first enemy attack on our mainland needs to be remembered. We never heard Bush blame the attack on Bill Clinton and the laxed domestic security of the Clinton administration.
 
   
There is no way this will be widely publicized, Unless each of us sends it on!
 
This is your chance to make a difference. Then vote 'em all out in November! And don't renig in 2012!

Donna Schmitt, is running for City Council in Columbia Heights, MN. If you want someone who will watch our backs, I don't think you could find anyone better. Go to her blog for more info on her.

Apparently some of the city staff did not appreciate my letter to the
editor in the Sun Focus on July 29, 2010.  They sent me a letter and
copy of an in-house memo trying to say that I wasn't giving out the
whole "truth of the interest expense."

Here is part of my response:

On complaint from the city of my rounding up $961,392 and saying that it was 'almost a million""

On page 19 of the 2009 report it listed interest on long-term debt
for 2009 at $961,392.  Anything over $950,000 is almost a million in my
eyes and many other people.  I have sat through many city council
meetings where numbers are rounded up or down by the presenter.  This is
an accepted practice.  Of course, this is not an accepted practice if
you are the accountant.

On the city's response being that property taxes only raised about $17 per person:

To say that this only resulted in a $17 per person increase is
another interesting perspective.  The 2000 census data from the city’s
website show that we have 18,520 residents.  Multiply 18,520 X $17 =
$314,840.  Yet your letter stated that the figure was actually $314,000,
which means you are also rounding a per cost estimate.  The other part
of that $17 that isn’t being presented is that of the 18,520 people that
live in this city, not all of them are paying property tax.  I do not
know of any household in the city where their city portion of their property taxes only went up $17 or even just $16.96.

On the comment in the memo that the citizens could have petitioned to stop the building of the public safety building:

The point is not that these projects were ‘bad’ ideas.  I don’t know
of many people that would deny that we needed more space for the police
and fire.  Though I have heard over and over from citizens in reference
to the new building, yes, we needed it, but we didn't need a Taj Mahol. 
The point is that we cannot sustain this rate of increase of spending
into the future.  I think that was made very clear in my article.  What
my article did not say, for lack of space, was that a new city hall, a
new public library, walking paths in our parks are all wonderful things
but at this time we cannot continue borrowing money at this rate and
especially borrowing money to meet our basic needs.   There will have to
be more cuts.

On the city's claim that 55% of the long-term interest and debt is paid for funding  received from other jurisdictions:

Your point that “55% of the principal and interest on long-term debt
for tax increment projects is paid with funding received from other
jurisdictions” is a good point.  But I also look at that in this
perspective:  If your son or daughter took out a loan for $10,000 to buy
a used car and you, as their parent, co-signed, you are ultimately
responsible for that loan.  The City of Columbia Heights is kind of like
that.  We have been promised all of this money for projects from
outside sources.  But we cosigned that loan and if those outside sources
default on their portion of the loan we are ultimately responsible for
the full amount.

The second part of that is all those other jurisdictions are just
another tax that has been paid in another way to our county, state and
federal government.  So we are still paying.

As a city we could go bankrupt.  Even if we don’t, if a city around
us goes bankrupt it will destroy the reputation of the surrounding area,
ultimately hurting our credit rating.  That is a very real possibility,
whether it is Hilltop or Minneapolis that defaults on their loans, we
would be effected.

Concerned about spending:

Am I concerned about spending?  Yes!  Can we continue to see the same
rate of increase of borrowed money over the next four years?  No!  The
next four years are not going to be fun years with lots of fun projects
coming forward.  If we can just maintain city services without going
into bankruptcy we will be accomplishing a lot.  When things start to
look up, that is when we can look at adding new projects, but not now. 
Now is when we need to pay our bills and get back to a common sense
budget.

Donna Schmitt - Candidate for Columbia Heights City Council

Here is my latest blog.  http://donnaschmitt4citycouncil.com

ENJOY!

Donna Schmitt

Candidate for Columbia Heights City Council


For a couple of years the City of Columbia Heights has been purchasing older homes, paying to have them demolished, and then sitting on the vacant property in anticipation of selling that property when values have gone back up.  Many times the cost for these purchases and demolition ends up costing the city around $50,000 to $60,000.  The idea is to remove from sales homes that are hazardous to live in.

The concept is commendable but maybe it is not necessarily the best one.  Some of the problems are:  1) You have now eliminated that property from the tax rolls so less income for the city. 2) Now this property is becoming a debt to the city because it has to be maintained on a seasonal basis.  3) These properties that have been taken off the tax rolls mean the rest of us will have our property taxes go up because the city's budget has not decreased.

I proposed another plan at the city council meeting on Monday night.  Why not take that $50,000 to $60,000 and offer a $10,000 to $20,000 grant to a purchaser to rehab that home.  That way you keep the home on the tax rolls, the home is fixed up to current code and it helps the neighbors by upgrading the home's value.  By offering up to a $20,000 grant you take that same $50-$60 thousand dollars and have fixed up 3-6 homes rather than torn down a single home.  You also are allowing a family a way to purchase an affordable home and yet providing a way to make sure it is a 'safe' home.

There could be several stipulations on that grant.  You could make sure that the rehab is done in a timely manner.  One way to do this is to decrease the grant if the rehab is not completed within 4-6 months.  You can also offer a larger incentive if this is an owner rehab vs. a property flip.   But I would also recommend a smaller grant, possibly $10,000 offered to someone that rehabs a home and sells it to someone else just because it still is accomplishing the same purpose, refurbishing homes and making the safe for families.  This also could be offered to groups such as Habitat to help them with projects in the city.

With a $10,000 to $20,000 grant the purchaser could even pay to have that home demolished and build a new home on that property.  But the difference is that all of this is done while still providing property tax income to the city and eliminates the need for the city to maintain that property over the years.

For anyone that has watched DIY, HGTV or faithfully watched 'This Old House' over the years you know that anything can be rehabbed.  To say that a house is not fixable is not being realistic.  Can anyone fix up a home?  No!  Are there times you need to call in an expert?  Yes!  With this type of grant you are providing more incentive for the purchaser to get it done quickly and getting that home back into a livable condition, and keeping it on the tax rolls.  It is a win-win situation for the city and for the purchaser.

There are other home improvement programs offered but all of these have limited funds and are usually grabbed up quickly.  This would be a great idea to sell to realtors and get them to help market this idea in our city.  This would be just another incentive and would work especially for those homes that are in foreclosure.

This is the time for the city to re-evaluate it's demolition goals.   The City of Columbia Heights has set aside funds for demolition over the next couple of years.   We need to make sure that we are getting the best value for our dollar and a home improvement incentive grant could be what we need to improve our home values rather than what is currently in place.

In Defense of Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary by Tim Utz

News, June 25, 2010
In Defense of Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary:
I must clarify my political, philosophical, and party affiliations that
differ from Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary. I am not endorsing nor am I
providing any political favor toward Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary. My
intention is to work with Senator Gina Bauman in 2011 after her victory
against Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary on November 2, 2010.

In the last days of the 2009 Minnesota State Legislature and the subsequent
weeks, Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary found himself embroiled in the
"amendment gate" scandal in St. Paul. It appears that Senator Satveer S.
Chaudhary placed a last minute amendment to the omnibus DNR bill that had a
direct impact on waterfront property that Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary owns
in northern Minnesota. As a result of this attempt, DFL leaders in Senate
District 50 held a town hall type of meeting with Senator Satveer S.
Chaudhary; a senate ethics committee held a meeting in St. Paul with Senator
Satveer S. Chaudhary; and the DFL party has considered rescinding Senator
Satveer S. Chaudhary endorsement. To top off the attacks, Barb Goodwin, a
local political activist, decided on the last day to file in the 2010
elections to run for Senate District 50 against Senator Satveer S.
Chaudhary. An August primary runoff is now scheduled.

The defense I make is not for our Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary's actions in
St. Paul, nor is it that I agree with Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary's
unconstitutional action of submitting an unrelated amendment in committee or
on the House floor. The defense is how extremely rampant this
unconstitutional submission to a bill is at the Capitol. The action to
subvert the constitutional process of review by committees or submitting an
unrelated amendment is commonplace and practiced by both Democrats and
Republicans in the Legislature. Over the years I have personally seen this
practice on the House Floor while in the gallery. Our State Constitution
provides no right of personal privilege of representatives to submit
amendments to unrelated bills. No personal privilege exists in the
legislative process.
The current issue that our Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary is experiencing is
only a small portion of the problems in St. Paul. The leadership in St. Paul
needs wholesale replacement across the board in 2010. "We the People" do
have the power to return government to Constitutional limits on November 2,
2010; the question is "have you had enough yet" to want Constitutional
governance.

Yes, our Senator Satveer S. Chaudhary did make poor choices to target
specific property he owns for personal benefit. The solution is
understanding every legislative bill introduced (3,864 in the last biennium)
impacts every member of the Legislature and citizen in Minnesota. Every bill
should stand alone as mandated in our State Constitution, travel the
regulated review process through committees, and be openly voted on the
House Floor by each representative, not voting for others, but making their
own vote up or down. Law and personal security can only prosper when elected
officials follow our constitutional process as I vow to do when elected to
St. Paul in November 2010.
