Good News!
There have been several pieces of good news this week [in the fight for freedom], two of which are from South Dakota:
1. The citizens of South Dakota have gathered enough signatures to place a State
Constitutional Amendment on the ballot. The Amendment will strip South Dakota Judges of
"judicial immunity", the inability of a private citizen to sue a judge. To eliminate frivolous
lawsuits, suits must meet certain criteria and be approved by a Grand Jury before filing. I have
read the proposed Amendment and it appears to have all of the "Check and Balances" in place.

If judicial accountability is your "hot button", go and do thou likewise in your state.
2. A recent Washington Post article highlighted the South Dakota Legislature's efforts to limit
abortion in the state. These efforts have been largely successful and have drastically cut
abortions in South Dakota. The article may be read at this link:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/26/AR2005122600747.html
If you wish to limit abortions in your state, copy the legislation passed in South Dakota and
submit them to your State Legislature.
3. The House of Representatives held the extension of the sunset provisions of the USA
Patriot Act to 30 days. Since Congress reconvenes the third week of January, they only have a
little over two weeks to extend the Act further. The more onerous police state provisions of the
USA Patriot Act will sunset on February 3, 2006 unless extended. These provisions should
expire and the whole Act should be rescinded. For further information on rescission of the USA
Patriot Act, click on this link: http://www.usiap.org/ActionItems/PatriotBill/PatriotBillIntro.html
Call or write Congress, both the House and the Senate, asking them to let the USA Patriot Act
sunset. Contact both Houses of Congress in Washington often during their vacation and while
they are in their home states, if you can. Copy the letter at the link above and send it to your
Representative and Senators. There are over 400 municipalities and states that have passed
resolutions against this Act. Many of our citizens are with us on this issue. Congress is
beginning to listen. Our actions during this next month on this issue will determine whether we
regain some of our Freedom. Write and call persuasively and often.
4. Al Burns of Utah has provided us with the following email from Charlotte Iserbyt, the author of
"the deliberate dumbing down of America":
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!
My gift for all follows:
My book "the deliberate dumbing down of america...A Chronological Paper Trail", published in
1999, is now available as a pdf, to be downloaded, FREE at my website! Go to
http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com and click on "e-book download free to all". Please
forward this email to all your addressees. I am, of course, still selling the regular book, in hard
and soft copy versions, but felt that, due to the urgency of the political situation, it is important to
make it available to as many people as possible, on the Internet. I still have a fair supply of the
regular book available but that supply is rapidly dwindling and I do not intend to publish a fourth
printing.
If the education of your children or grandchildren is of concern to you, download this book.
Thanks, Charlotte!
