Group Calls on Recipients of BP Grants and Contributions to Return Donations for Use in Cleanup
June 11, 2010
Editor’s Commentary: After reading this call by the National Center for Public Policy Research, I would concur with Mr. Ridenour. Under the circumstances of the amount of money these “environmental” organizations receive from BP and other like companies, it is time to put their money where their mouth is and put these “donations” to work in oil clean up efforts. I would hesitate to return the money directly to BP but instead donate the money to a third party entity with assurances and guarantees that every penny of it went specifically for oil clean up in the Gulf of Mexico and United States’ interests. Good call by NCPPR.
Call for Voluntary Return of Gifts Spurred by Reports that BP Could Go Bankrupt
Washington, D.C. – In light of recent reports that BP may go bankrupt paying claims for damages and cleanup of the Gulf oil spill, The National Center for Public Policy Research today called on organizations and individuals that have received contributions from BP or its affiliated foundation in recent years to return these donations, or to contribute them to a reputable, independent Gulf cleanup fund.

June 2, 2010
Says Immelt’s Support of President Obama’s Big Government Agenda is a Risk to Liberty
Washington, D.C. – Today the Free Enterprise Project released an online petition calling for Jeff Immelt to resign as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of General Electric.
The petition can found at http://www.bigbusinesswatch.org.
“In a desperate attempt to find revenue, Immelt is seeking to profit from President Obama’s big government agenda,” said Tom Borelli, Ph.D., director of the National Center for Public Policy Research‘s Free Enterprise Project. “Immelt successfully lobbied for Obama’s failed $787 billion economic stimulus plan and now he is actively lobbying for the president’s cap-and-trade policy. Immelt’s actions are responsible for putting our nation in deeper debt and looting future generations of their economic liberty.” Read more
After I Make Enough Money, I’ll Give The Rest Away!
May 18, 2010
Barack Obama recently said that “at some point you have made enough money”. Who says? Obviously one man with an over inflated ego and a bent on the destruction of capitalism and “trickle down” wealth. Regardless of whether you or I think someone else has made enough money, why should a third party get to decide?
It angers me to no end when I hear friends and relatives sitting around bemoaning someone’s wealth. I don’t get it. Is this because of jealousy, resentment, disrespect or what? And of course in these flip conversations comes out the profound that anyone who made money did so by screwing their friends and neighbors. We know this is not true. (Exceptions to everything, so give it a rest.) Read more

Shareholders Urged to Challenge CEO Bob Iger at Disney’s Annual Meeting
Washington, D.C.: On occasion of the Disney annual shareholder meeting today, the Free Enterprise Project is warning Disney shareholders that CEO Robert Iger’s progressive political bias puts investors at risk.
The Free Enterprise Project is a program of the National Center for Public Policy Research, a Disney shareholder.
“Iger’s rejection of several offers to sell the distribution rights of the ABC-TV docudrama The Path to 9/11 is a sign that his personal political views are affecting business decisions,” said Free Enterprise Project director Dr. Tom Borelli, who has raised the issue personally with Iger at past shareholder meetings. “In addition, Disney’s close ties to progressive Democrats, including President Obama, may have resulted in ABC News’ special access to cover the president’s health care policy in a day-long media blitz last year.” Read more

*Editor’s Note:* Within minutes of recording this show, the construction crews moved in outside my office hammering and drilling. I apologize if there are distracting noises.
The Heritage Foundation is warning people, particularly corporations to not buy global warming insurance. Even as a member I have to disagree. I think everyone should buy it and I’ll tell you how we can use the money and time of the insurance companies to do away with the nonsense of man-made climate change fear mongering.

What Is Government Hiding About Obamacare Costs?
October 12, 2009
I certainly don’t pretend that I can understand all of what’s in any and all proposed health care bills that have been proposed on Capital Hill. What should alarm us all is that nobody on the Hill seems too willing to reveal what their bills will mean for each of us as individuals and families. Why is that? Do they have something to hide? I would suspect so.
The first thing we need to realize is that we should consider only what comes out of the mouths of politicians as nothing but lies. The second thing is whatever we are being told is being presented as a bill is not – far from it. For example, the Finance Committee led by Chairman Max Baucus of Montana sent a proposed health care bill to the Congressional Budget Office for analysis. Whether we can believe anybody or not remains to be seen but we have been told by the House Minority Leader, John Boehner, that from the time that the proposal was sent to the CBO and the analysis came back, over 70 amendments were added to the proposal. We have also been told that many of those amendments came from members of that committee and the amendments were exemptions for their constituencies. Read more
