We the People: Continental Congress 2009 finishes Pt 1 of their election!

Are you a patriot??  Now is your chance to prove it.      PSA-Liberty Bells

National delegate elections occurred on October 10th 2009 . There were 94 voting centers in 21 states across the US.  “The results of those Mail-In Ballots for all 50 states and the District of Columbia will be tabulated on Saturday, Oct 17th, added to the In-Person results and posted here on Sunday, October 18th as the Final CC2009 Delegate Election Results.” Results of the election can be found here.  http://www.cc2009.us/about-cc2009/delegate-voting-info/22-voting/83-oct10-voting-center-results

This November from 8th-22nd, there is a worldwide broadcast scheduled where the states elected members will convene together in St. Charles, IL The deciding factor at this meeting will be the top vote winner, whom will serve as the voting delegate for that state.

“Bailouts, layoffs, foreclosures, social decay, family destruction and endless wars. Most don’t know it but virtually every problem that America now suffers is the direct result of violations of the Constitution by our (servant) government. Finally, there is hope! This November, publicly elected citizen-delegates representing the People of each state will convene at a national assembly known as “Continental Congress 2009.”  The purpose of this historic event is to formally document the violations and develop strategies the People can employ to peacefully resist tyranny and restore Constitutional Order.
It’s time to hold our servant government accountable and reclaim the Light of Liberty. Learn more about CC2009 and the true power of Popular Sovereignty at www.GiveMeLiberty.org.” **

The country’s biggest employer is taking a stand against dangerous driving

The country’s biggest employer is taking a stand against dangerous driving.

An executive order signed earlier this month by President Obama forbids federal employees from sending text messages while behind the wheel. The rule applies to employees in federal vehicles and to those using a government-issued phone while driving their own cars.

The order was signed at the end of a two-day meeting on distracted driving. The feds are also encouraging all federal contractors to create a similar policy for their employees.

The new ban won’t require a change in behavior for many federal workers— on-the-road texting is already illegal in Washington, D.C., as well as 18 states. To see the laws for your and other states, visit the Governors’ Highway Safety Association.

In addition to the executive order, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray La Hood announced plans to enact a nationwide wide ban on texting in the car.  One proposed bill would force states to pass their own bans, or sacrifice 25% of their highway funding.

With more courts holding companies liable for car accidents caused by employees, experts recommend private employees take the government’s lead and enact stricter driving policies before the law requires it.

Companies can be held liable when an employee causes an accident while“under the scope of employment.” That could include an employee who’s making deliveries, driving to an off-site meeting or having a work-related conversation while running personal errands.

States are putting laws in effect  in the next 3 months starting effective November 1st, 2009,  such as New York, North Carolina, Colorado, New Hampshire, Illinois, and Oregon.

To limit the risk, lawyers recommend creating policies that:

* prohibit talking, texting and e-mailing while behind the wheel (whether the employee has a hands-free headset or not)

* require phones to be turned off while driving to avoid distracting incoming calls, and

* remind employees — and their bosses — that they aren’t expected to make calls and do other work while driving.
