My Commitment to You, a Citizen of Zimmerman

2010-08-26T18:20:00.000-07:00

Uphold the Constitution

Limit myself to serving only two terms on the City Council if elected

I will work for the everyday taxpayers of Zimmerman

Less government Intrusion on businesses and private property

I am running for City Council to serve my country and to serve the citizens of Zimmerman. I have a duty a right as an American citizen to serve my country as a city council person I will do everything in my power to uphold the Constitution. I am not running for city council as a career or a long term job, I will limit myself to serving only two terms on the City Council if elected. It will be my duty of a council person to protect the constitution while working for the citizens, not special interest groups or issues that are only important to a small percentage of the citizens. I will not allow the government to interfere with private businesses and private property. It is not the role of the City Council to pick and choose what they will support or not support, it is the duty of the city council to stand up for the constitution and protect the inherent rights that God gave everyone.

What makes us Common?

2010-01-14T22:54:00.000-08:00

As an individual you have a right to believe, do and be anything. There are few people that like being told how to live their life by others. As time and years pass the mindset of people does not change. People live together in a community but differences of opinion on how to maintain or achieve a common goal will always exist. It is instinct to judge and approve or disapprove of how a person lives their life. Government has taken the roll of convincing people that know better than you do. The Government has been passing bills that are intended to create peace but rather the new bills are creating more hate and Tyranny.

Society and government try to fix a problem that was once solved. The solution, the one common ground has in time been ignored and destroyed. The Constitution of the United States of America was the foundation that created this great Nation. The Founding Father knew that the only way to create peace was to limit the control of the Government and allow people to be individuals.

The preamble of the Constitution is simply beautiful and concise. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The Constitution was not designed to limit or give rights to people rather it was designed to establish the purpose of the government. The Constitution gives great detail on how the government is limited to what they can and cannot do. The purpose of the Constitution is to be the blueprint of a perfect Society. The Constitution does not tell people how to live their lives rather it defines the purpose of the government and lets individuals believe, do and be anything.

The unjust behavior of Government caused our Founding fathers to Declare Independence from a Government that was destructive to peace. One common foundation of, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can bring peace. It is time to stop ignoring and destroying the Constitution. It is time to bring back what makes us Common, The Constitution of the United States of America.

Wake up Minnesota Now is the time

Wake up Minnesota Now is the time
By: Gregory Laney

When is it time to step away from the normal rules and procedures? When is it time to depart from restrictions and control? When is it time for “We the People” to have the power to act, believe, or express yourself in a manner of your own choosing? When is it time for “We the People” to be free from unjust or undue governmental control?

Are you tired of career politicians, celebrities or rich lawyers telling you what to do? I don't know about you folks but I'm fed up and I'm not going to take it anymore. Im tired of TV ads and radio advertisements bickering back and forth about policies and new ways to spend the money of hard working taxpayers. Millions of dollars get spent on political advertisements trying to sell you a plan or a face. It is time for “We the People to stand up and support common sense rather than progressive logic. Do you need to be sold or lectured to?

Would you like to be in control of your life and your money? Your life is for you to make the decisions on how healthy you want to be and how successful you want to be. Your money that you earn by working hard, is for you to make the choices on how to spend it. I think its time for you to get paid before the government gets paid. Its time to take back the voice of “We the People”. Minnesotans are known as NICE. Is it nice for the government to take your hard earned money before you even see it? Is it nice for the government to tell you not to smoke in/on your private property?

Am I a bad person because I want to make the choice of what charities or special interest groups receive my money? Am I a bad person because I want to operate a business the way I choose? Am I a bad person because I want to take care of my family and make sure they are healthy and happy before I help out a poor person?

The government stole the role of accountability and self reliance from each individual and replaced self reliance and accountability with Social justice. Why do you try hard and do your best when the reward or money you earn gets stolen from you before you even see it? No one can be successful if no one fails. Failure weeds out the weaknesses in people and turns the weakness into a problem to solve. I have made mistakes in my life. I am not perfect, the failures I have overcome have molded me into a person that has the strength and courage to learn from the mistakes and into a stronger better person.

What can “We the People” do to overcome the takeover of your life your freedom your liberty? God has given “We the People” certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When the government becomes destructive of your God given rights it's the Right of “We the People” to alter or to abolish the system of government that has become greater than God.

“We the People” is a message I have heard at many rallies and Tea Parties. Its time for “We the People to stand up and take back our Freedom our Liberty and our Pursuit of happiness. “We the People” don't need to be told what to do. We know what is best for us and our families.

I am ready to be a voice for “We the People”. I am willing to stand up and come out of the crowd and be a voice for the citizens. I am not a career politician, I am not a lawyer, I am not a celebrity. I may not have the charm or charisma that a typical politician has. I don't intend to be a typical politician. I intend to be the voice of the common man. I am a husband, a father and a machinist. I have been married to my wife for ten years. My wife and I have three children. Both my wife and I have strong work ethics, we believe in accountability and self reliance. The goal of my wife and I is to raise our children to have strong Values and Principals.

The Principles I represent and embrace are as follows:

1. America needs the Constitution and it cannot be ignored or rewritten.
2. I believe in God and God gave “We the People” our Freedom and Liberty.
3. I must always be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. My family is sacred. The families of “We the People” are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. “We the People” have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results, regardless of your race or religion.
7. “We the People” work hard for what we have and “We the People” will share it with who we want to. Government cannot force “We the People” to be charitable.
8. It is not UN-American for “We the People” to disagree with authority or to share our personal opinions.
9. The government works for 'We the People”. “We the People” do not answer to them, they answer to “We the People”.

The list of Values I firmly stand on are:

Honesty, Reverence, Hope, Thrift, Humility, Charity, Sincerity, Moderation, Hard Work, Courage, Personal Responsibility, Gratitude

The real Change and the real Hope consists inside yourself and you being responsible for your own actions. To restore Liberty and Freedom in America we need people to stand up for the Constitution and take party in the political process. Get involved locally on your school boards, city council and join grassroots organizations that work to educate and inform the public of of the real news and the real issues. Its time for regular common citizens to become the politicians and its time to kick out the elitists and the type of Monarchy or idols that are currently holding public offices.

I have presented this message to you today because I am running for City Council of Zimmerman MN in 2010. I am in the process of exploring what the citizens of Zimmerman want to see and what “We the People” want to happen. I want to open my ears and listen to the citizens of Zimmerman and here the answers, the solutions from the people rather than from politicians. I am a common man that is standing up and ready to say its time for Freedom and Liberty to prevail. Thank you.

Please visit my campaign website at www.GregLaney.com were you can find my contact information and if you are so kind you can donate to my campaign on the website. Thank you for listening to my message today and I do hope to hear from you in the near future.

The Foundation of a Great Structure

2009-11-14T01:19:00.001-08:00

By Gregory Laney Nov 13 2009

A building cannot stand without a strong stable foundation. When a building is built on loose gravel and sand the structure of the building will collapse on itself because the foundation was not stable. The Constitution is the foundation of the United States of America. For many years the constitution has been ignored or routed around. The destruction of the foundation of America is upon us. The United States is no longer a stable government rather it is a government on the verge of collapse. The blueprint our founding fathers created is deteriorating and is being dismantled. The most brilliant and magnificent documents of all time has no meaning or relevance to the very people who took an oath to protect it from destruction.

The foundation needs our help, we the citizens of the United States need to organize and unite and become the brick layers/construction workers and the laborers who restore and strengthen the Constitution of the United States of America. Its time to remove the pits and the cracks and the holes that have occurred over the years our nation has been standing. The restoration of the Constitution begins with hard work and individuals who work together to create a high quality product. To fix the foundation we can't focus on one small problem we need to look at all of the weak links.

The United States of America needs its foundation to be restored by you your friends your family and your neighbors. You are more than just one person you are one small brick that helps hold the United States together and tall, you are a piece of the foundation. Without you working to your fullest capacity you are likely a part of the problem that will cause the entire nation to crumble. The foundation of the United States is still standing, but for how long? The inspections have been made and the results of the tests are in. It's time to strengthen our foundation and return our great nation back to the structure of strength and the home of Liberty. It does not take a scholar to stand on the principles of the constitution. You are more than one vote you can be the messenger of Liberty.

Palin backs a 3rd party candidate.

2009-11-09T19:22:00.000-08:00

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed a third-party candidate over the GOP-backed contender in New York's congressional special election, saying her own party has abandoned its core values.

The former Alaska governor, who was Arizona Sen. John McCain's running-mate last year, said Thursday she was backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman over Republican Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava in the 23rd Congressional District race.

Palin said Hoffman, a businessman, stands for Republican principles – smaller government, lower taxes and a commitment to individual liberty – and that Scozzafava is more aligned with Democrats.

The offseason race to replace former Rep. John McHugh, whom President Barack Obama named as his Army secretary, has drawn national attention to a growing splinter between Republican moderates and conservatives who say they want the party to return its core values.

"The Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race," Palin said in a post on her Facebook page Thursday night.

Democrat Bill Owens, a Plattsburgh lawyer and retired Air Force captain, is also running. An Oct. 15 survey by Siena College showed Owens with 33 percent, Scozzafava with 29 percent and Hoffman with 23 percent. The poll of 617 likely voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

Scozzafava has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, but she's been criticized by some conservatives for her support for abortion rights, same-sex marriage and other issues.

Scozzafava spokesman Matt Burns said a vote for Hoffman hurts Republicans.

Hoffman has been labeled a spoiler by some, but he's looking more like a contender lately, with support from prominent Republicans, including former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey and former presidential candidate Steve Forbes, who endorsed Hoffman on Friday.

"The other candidates in this race are far too similar in their records and stated support for much of the Democrats' agenda in Washington," Forbes said.

May the best candidate win?

2009-11-09T19:16:00.001-08:00

Weather the best candidate will be a Demarcate a Republican a Libertarian or a Constitution Party candidate only the candidate that best represents "We the People" should win. What are the thoughts about having more candidates from more political parties participate in a political race? I think it's time to start supporting the candidate that has the same Principles you do, and supports the same policies you do. You can call people right or left and even moderate or progressive, but having all of these names and only having two parties is ridiculous. If you are a liberal or a progressive you can vote for a Dem, if you are a moderate or Rhino conservative you can vote for a Republican. If you are a true conservative you can vote for a Libertarian or a Constitution party candidate. Having more candidates to choose from will allow people the opportunity to vote for the person who represents them the best. Choosing the better of two evils will only be asking you to bow down and vote for someone you don't truly support. I want to know how many people are tired of the two party system, with two candidates that are not very different from each one another? Recently the only difference between Democrats and Republicans is the name and nothing else. It's time for people to be bold and stand up for what you stand for only support the candidate that best supports you. Can a third or fourth party candidate win the Governor race in Minnesota? I want to know what your thoughts are on this. Please give some detail and reasons why or why not more parties will work or not work. What does a Libertarian need to do in order to win? Is 34% or 26% of votes good enough to lead "We the People"?

Thank you,
Gregory Laney

Grassroots movements start with you.

2009-11-09T19:09:00.000-08:00

If you agree with the messages and movement I am proposing in this message than please do consider joining the A1S8 Society. America needs people like you to start groups in your Congressional District. Please read the following messages.

People need to start uniting and resolving problems together. My take on it is that people are tired of being told what to do but they feel they don't have any other option. We all have our own lives to live and deal with the stews of day to day life but we as citizens of the United States need to wake up and be a check on the government and get involved rather than only complaining and sitting on the sidelines.

There are things people can do. Get involved in the grassroots movements. Instead of relying on a political party to find a candidate for an office people need to come together and discuss problems and solutions. People in discussion groups can help educate and prepare each other or people of like minds to get involved and run for political offices.

The United States was not intended to be a place for only monarchy or the political elites to be in power. It is time for "We the people" to work together and discuss solutions and promote our own candidates from the grassroots level.

In my opinion, neither the Democrat nor Republican Party has any intention of slowing the out-of-control expansion of government. Neither party has demonstrated any loyalty to preserving and protecting our constitutional form of government.

I am convinced that without an allegiance to constitutional government and State sovereignty, there will be no end to America's current slide into socialism and oppression. It is important that we set aside our partisan politics and stand firm for the principles of federalism and freedom, as did America's founders.

Weather the best candidate will be a Demarcate a Republican a Libertarian or a Constitution Party candidate only the candidate that best represents "We the People" should win. I think it's time to start supporting the candidate that has the same Principles you do, and supports the same policies you do. You can call people right or left and even moderate or progressive, but having all of these names and only having two parties is ridiculous.

(Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence) "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

What can “We the People” do to overcome the takeover of your life your freedom your liberty? God has given “We the People” certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When the government becomes destructive of your God given rights it's the Right of “We the People” to alter or to abolish the system of government that has become greater than God.

When is it time to step away from the normal rules and procedures? When is it time to depart from restrictions and control? When is it time for “We the People” to have the power to act, believe, or express yourself in a manner of your own choosing? When is it time for “We the People” to be free from unjust or undue governmental control?

When you allow a person to make conclusions based on principles, morals and values rather than tradition or repeated practices, I believe the result will be in favor of Liberty and Freedom over experience and name brand. I am aware of the games that have been played belittling political candidates because they may not have an intellectual form of speaking or precise, flawless answers to questions. When one stands by the Constitution and their Principles, they are just as qualified as a person who has experience or more so.

Allowing the citizens to get answers to questions they ask is what will affirm their decision on who they will vote for. The answer that experience is necessary for a prestigious political title is not accurate. God's direction is to vote for the candidate who best exemplifies Gods values. If this individual has no chance of winning, or lacks 'electability' this choice is not different. God's ways are not our ways. He calls us to be faithful, even if man's reasoning would dictate to do otherwise

Stolen from you from me is the gift God gave all of us. God gave us a conscience to decide what is right and wrong. You have the knowledge inside you. Don't do what is politically correct do what you know is correct. Be free of thought and speech. God gave you the Liberty to be yourself. Pretending you are happy or that you are OK will not make you happy. Rather wanting to be happy and trying to be happy by doing or saying what you like will make you happy. God did not give us all of the answers but he did give us the ability to search for the answers that please you. Live your life by pleasing yourself, others can do the same. Be free and enjoy the Liberty God gave you. You can succeed and you will achieve all you desire. Don't fall into the rut of shame or slavery. You are your own person don't be fooled into pleasing others unless it pleases you.

Going forward all citizens of America who claim to be conservatives need to defeat liberalism in the political system including the liberal GOP candidates. Being a good conservative or Republican Party member is to not be a lapdog to the entrenched party establishment. Being a person of True Americanism means believing in Free Markets, believing in the constitution and believing in less regulation and less taxes, believing in states rights and Federalism equals a true American.

If the Republican Party does not put up someone who believes in what I just mentioned than you as a citizen of the United States have the option or duty to defeat that liberal Republican even if it means a Democrat gets elected, and that will get their attention. Its true you might elect a democrat, you might get more government, your going to get it anyway. I would rather have a democrat elected than the frauds the Republican Party have been presenting. The GOP Party has primarily lost its ethical/moral and political standards.

The A1S8 Society is organizing groups in each Congressional District throughout the country. Do your part and help promote Freedom and Liberty. "We the People" need to join together and discuss solutions on how to take back America and restore the Constitution of the United States.

It is time for a conservative revolution! The A1S8 Society LLC is sick and tired of our un-Constitutional government! That is why we need a peaceful conservative revolution, now! Our government has grown too big! Our government's growth is controlled by the taxes it collects. The more our government collects in taxes the bigger it gets. The bigger our government gets, the more of our money it needs to collect in taxes. More government = more taxes! More taxes = more government! How long must this ever upward spiral continue? How much longer can we let it continue?

What is the solution to this problem? We reduce the size of our government. How do we bring about this solution? We change the way our government collects taxes. How do we pay our taxes? Our taxes are paid by us every payday. Our government gets paid before we do. We pay our taxes first and then we get paid. It should not be that way. We should get paid first and then our government should get paid.

What action will solve this problem? Joining the A1S8 Society to demand that Congress repeals the 1943 Current Tax Payment Act, a temporary law to help fund WWII, will do that! When people have to write out checks to pay their taxes they will demand a smaller government. The first goal of the A1S8 Society it supporting political candidates that promote Freedom and Liberty and the Constitution of the United States. The repeal of the 1943 Current Tax Payment Act is the next goal of The A1S8 Society.

I am the Executive District coordinator for Congressional District 6 in Minnesota. People all across America need to step up and start organizing A1S8 groups in your local Congressional Districts. Here is the link to the Minnesota CD 6 A1S8 Facebook group. http://tiny.cc/bjF49
