Since 9/11 the face of terrorism has been mostly Islamic as presented by the mainstream media and politicians. But Islam is only one part of the terror triangle, and NOT the most important part.

The John Birch Society's Chief Executive Officer, Arthur R. Thompson, brought to Salt Lake City to speak by the JBS Salt Lake City Speakers Bureau Committee for this event, will reveal and document the players who , back, boost, and drive terrorism and will explain how America is focusing on the wrong enemy.

Find out constitutional solutions to the problem of terror. Learn the vital role you play in making sure we are not trading our liberty for temporary security.

Local Speakers Bureau Committee Chairman Robin Smith will have tickets available for this event. He works nights, so please, don't phone him until later in the afternoon so he can get his sleep. His number is: 801- 497-0618. John Birch Society Chapter Leaders across Utah will also soon have tickets ($5.00) for the event.

The event will be at the Salt Lake City Airport Hilton Hotel as it is a fairly central location to Utah County, Salt Lake County, Davis County, Weber County, etc.

We invite law-enforcement officers and legislators to attend to learn how they are targeted by terrorists and why.

This Commemoration of Constitution Day will be held at the Logan Tabernacle buidling at 50 North Main Street, Logan, Utah.

Michael Ballam will be the guest speaker. There will also be a costumed play and music by a choir. It's a real opportunity to celebrate the 1787 creation of the Constitution that has brought us freedom and prosperity in these United States, to meet other like-minded citizens, to enjoy the spirit of freedom, and to bring with you educational materials to share with others gathered there.

At the website http://www.shopjbs.org/index.php/tna/reprints.html can be found inexpensive reprinted articles to distribute to attendees to bring them better understanding on a number of issues. Especially the reprinted article about The Council on Foreign Relations would be a good one to purchase and bring to distribute.

Also, the flier for our upcoming October 9 speakers bureau event in Salt Lake City at the Airport Hilton Hotel can be distributed to help bring people to hear JBS CEO Art Thompson speak on "Exposing Terrorism."

This event is sponsored by the local tea party, JBS Chapters, the Constitution Party, and the 9/12 group in Logan and other groups.

Freedom Campaign Members in Fillmore and surrounding areas:

Here's your chance to plan for attending Congressman Jason Chaffetz's town hall meeting in Fillmore. The date, time, and place are below:
Fillmore
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
5:00 PM
Old Territorial Statehouse
50 W. Capitol
Fillmore, UT 84631
Please, consider obtaining some of our July 20 FREEDOM INDEX reprints for distribution to those in attendance so they have the voting record of all 535 U.S. Congressmen for 2009 so far (including that of Jason Chaffetz). You can find these 10-page, full color, copyrighted, reprinted articles at: http://www.shopjbs.org/index.php/tna/reprints.html

Also, you have a lot of time to plan ahead what questions you'd like to ask the Congressman. I suggest you write your questions down so you're prepared when the microphone is handed to you.

To JBS Freedom Campaign Meetup Members;
There is to be a morning, public, free-of-charge forum featuring Senator Orrin Hatch and Steve Forbes, on Friday, August 28th, at 9 a.m., at the Ragan Theater at Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem.

This is a great time to ask questions about Article I, Section 8 concerning the delegated power to "COIN" money, or for federal interference in the Health Care Market. In fact, here's the questions I wish someone would ask:
"Has the use of paper money since the Federal Reseve was created caused a devaluing of our monetary unit, the dollar, through inflation of the money supply; and if so, shouldn't we return to using gold and silver to prevent inflation of the money supply?"

"Senator Hatch, Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 delegated authority to Congress only to COIN money, not to print bills of credit (paper money), so how could Congress delegate a power to print paper money to a Central Bank when it never had authority to print it in the first place?"

"Senator Hatch, where in the Constitution was congress specifically given power to create the Federal Reserve System? I don't see any authority to create a central bank given by our Constitution to the Congress, do you?"

"Mr. Forbes, The Constitution, Article I, Section 10 forbids the States from printing bills of credit, that is paper money as it was called in the 18th century. And Section 10 also requires the States to use gold and silver coin for payment of debts, so how can the States obey the constitution when they are forced to use paper federal reserve notes that aren't even backed by gold or silver? Isn't America in trouble because of the trillions of dollars printed from thin air by the Federal Reserve System to fund Congressional borrowing?"

"Is the 4,000 tons of gold at Fort Knox still in Fort Knox, and if so, couldn't it be coined into small coins and returned to the people of the United States in exchange for their paper federal reserve notes so we could put the gold back in circulation in America?"

No doubt you can think of dozens of more constitutionally-based questions to ask. Where federal government intrusion into health care is concerned we could especially base questions on the Tenth Amendment and ask where in Article I, Section 8, the Congress was delegated powers over the health care of Americans.

This forum would be a wonderful place to distribute the July 20 FREEDOM INDEX from The New American magazine, which is now available as a reprint. I bought 900 of them at $0.30 each as reprinted articles. The 550 that I haven't sold yet are sitting in boxes in my front room. This is a chance to bring 100-reprints with you and distribute them so people can see the voting records of both houses of Congress. ($30 per 100 reprints).
Sorry I can't be there. I will be home on Monday afternoon if you need to purchase reprints to distribute, unless I'm at the bank, or STAPLES. Phone me at 801-427-1106.
