Michael Badnarik is in town!

I finally get logged in here after being 'not found' for a while, and it's when I'm at someone's house sitting between two old friends, and researching every topic with my laptop.

Check my Psychictaxi YouTube Channel for my latest videos of last Saturdays' National Screening of Gary's movie (IT ROCKED!)

Back soon.

I guess I've been busy!

We did a 5,000 pc. mailer for the Western Libertarian Alliance this week and that had me hopping!

We had 30 people show up Saturday for the Movie Premiere/Pot-Luck dinner, AND IT WAS GREAT!

I'm editing the video now (I finished it last night but found out there's a problem I have to edit out before I can post it) and it will be up for viewing tomorrow - I'll post the link here when it's up.

Well, I did get the lawns mowed, and the plants that needed transplanting done, but that's about it.  I am catching up on my online work, and even got a couple of things posted at Freedom's Phoenix.  I have another thing or two to post, a friend is on the way to visit, and the Wife gets off work in about an hour.

Looks like my day is planned for me.  That is a good thing, as the 'relaxation' period I have gone through in the last few days has finally caught up with my 'normal' pace of life.

Good.  There's still a LOT to do...

You know, I could get used to this.

Normally in Arizona in June it's over 100 degrees.  Today we have overcast skies and a 10 to 15 mph wind making for a beautifully breezy 77 degrees.  You couldn't ask for a nicer day to sit on the back porch with coffee and work on the laptop.  I have a few plants to transplant, but other than that, nothing scheduled for the day.  This is the third day in a row that I didn't have anything demanding my attention (other than financial worries which are never-ending), and it has made me want to be lazy.

Can't have that.

I have had more sleep in the last three days that I had in the prior three weeks.

I guess this is a very good thing because I have been putting my mind to the 'task at hand' that has been perplexing me to no end, and I do not perplex easily.  Usually, my mind is quick to spit out what it comes up with for an answer to whatever question I put to it.  The monumental struggle that has the entire Country agitated over that most people don't understand - the SB1070/immigration/REAL ID issue.

I know it isn't about Mexicans or 'terrorists' or ANYBODY that comes across 'National Borders' UNOFFICIALLY.  It's about using a 'perceived demon' to accomplish a set agenda.

"Stop the 'Welfare State' and they will stop coming" is too easy to say, and we know that isn't a 'viable solution' even though the sentiment may be correct.  I don't accept that as a solution.

I have YET to hear ANYONE (but myself) speak on upping or ELIMINATING the cap on 'allowable immigration'.  We should be letting ANYONE ON THE PLANET that wants to come here and become an American in (providing that they don't have a communicable disease or are not a known criminal 'on the lam').

There is also a part of me that says that we should be granting asylum to refugees fleeing a war-torn bordering country.  The drug-cartel wars down there are just as much (and more) motivation for people to come here as 'migrant farmwork'.

Until I can put all of my thoughts into a cognizant stream that can be heard as a 'viable solution', I continue to allow my brain to work on the problem.

Hopefully, it's just a matter of time.

And now it starts to rain.  So much for mowing the lawn.  OK by me.

I think I'll have another cup of coffee.

Yesterday was very nice!

After relaxing with my friend, I went over to Jim Kaisers' townhome to go swimming with a bunch of local Activists/Patriots.  We had good food and excellent water, and I didn't leave until almost midnight.  A good night's sleep, and I'm ready to go!

Online updates and activities, I have to write an endorsement for a local candidate, and then make some calls about porta-potties for the 4th of July event.

**********THE R3VOLUTION 4th of July Campout Weekend and Tea Party**********

If you are anywhere near the Phoenix Metropolitan area that weekend - CHECK US OUT!  If not - that's ok - we will have it webcast for you to watch from ANYWHERE ON EARTH!

It's gonna be SOMETHING!

Ed

I find myself not being demanded here or expected there, and a minimal amount of online work to be done for a change, so I am actually sitting back with a friend and watching a movie or two.  Seems strange to not be rushing to get something done.  I should be cleaning my firearms after refreshing the coating of desert and expended powder, but that can wait until tomorrow in this case.

I stopped at the local panaderia and picked up some breakfast breads on the way, so munching and kicking it is the order of the day.

Now watch the phone ring...

Busy, busy, busy!

Starting to vote on LNC Chair right now.

Ed

Drove over 24 hours straight and arrived yesterday afternoon to get to St. Louis to attend the 2010 Libertarian National Convention as a Delegate representing Arizona.  This is my second LNC after attending Denver in 2008.  I have little time and lots to do so I am going to do this blogpost the easy way - please click on this link and read Ernie's statement, and then read my comment below that, and you will understand what's going on with me right now:

I'll post more while I'm here, but right now I need to hit the streets and hang banners.
