Ron Paul delivered this brilliant and courageous speech on the floor of the house. He asks a long list of searing questions that the regime and power elite will never answer truthfully. It's a 4 min. Must See video;

Today, as the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee began hearings on the job-killing tax increase called cap-and-trade, we're in South Carolina holding Hot Air Tour events targeted at Sen. Lindsey Graham on this very issue.

Last night in Spartanburg, 215 grassroots activists rallied at the county fairgrounds to ride our 7-story-high Hot Air Tour balloon and to send a crystal clear message to Sen. Graham to oppose cap-and-trade.  The event was extra special to me because I grew up near Spartanburg and my dad, brother and sister were at the rally! Even better, afterwards I took our Americans for Prosperity road warriors back to my mom and dad's house for some serious down-home Southern cooking -- fried chicken, pan-fried okra, sweet creamed corn, deep dish macaroni and cheese, and strawberry cobbler. 

You may have seen the New York Times op-ed that Sen. Graham co-authored with John Kerry, the left-wing senator from Massachusetts, in support of cap-and-trade measures.  Sen. Graham says he believes in free markets and calls himself a fiscal conservative, so how he can support such an enormous tax-and-spend special interest bill is beyond me. And the hundreds of great South Carolina AFP activists I'm meeting on the road feel exactly the same way. 

In Spartanburg, an 81–years-young grassroots organizer and legendary local leader named Walter McSherry pointed out how cap-and-trade will kill over 20,000 South Carolina jobs in the first decade alone while raising utility rates by as much as 80%.  Then, we asked the entire crowd to pull out their cell phones and we filled up Sen. Graham's in-state and Washington office voice mails.  CLICK here for pictures of events in Spartanburg and Columbia this morning. 

As I mentioned earlier, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee gets first crack at cap-and-trade.  CLICK here to take a look at the committee.  If your senator is on the committee, call or email them today by clicking here.  Tell them to vote NO in committee.  For more details on this terrible legislation, visit our website at americansforprosperity.org. 

Once we finish in South Carolina (last event is Wednesday morning in Myrtle Beach), I'm heading to Arkansas for town hall meetings on the health care takeover with the newest Fox News personality -- our good friend, John Stossel. 

You can join us Thursday for a special tele-town hall meeting at 2pm EST by calling in to (888) 886-6603 with extension #13556.  John and I will be updating you on the health care takeover and he will tell us more about his new role at Fox News. 

Our town hall meetings are in Texarkana, Little Rock and Jonesboro.  Arkansas has 2 swing senators on health care and the leader of the so-called "Blue Dog" Democrats in Congressman Mike Rogers, so it's a crucial state in the health care battle. 

I usually try to keep these emails on one topic, but health care and cap-and-trade are both just so crucial to the future of our country and our economic freedoms.  Much is at stake in the next few weeks so let's keep up the fight.

Hello ,

A quick introduction, my name is Kenneth Gillett and I am helping author Anne C. Heller get the word out about her new book Ayn Rand and the World She Made. As you probably know, Ayn Rand is best known as the author of the hugely bestselling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

The novels have attracted three generations of readers, helped shape the Libertarian movement, and influenced government policies throughout the Reagan and Bush years. Rand remains a powerful force in the political perceptions of million of Americans today. Yet twenty-five years after her death, her readers know little about her life.

In this major biography, Anne C. Heller traces the controversial author’s life from her childhood in Russia to her years as a screenwriter in Hollywood, the publication of her blockbuster novels, and the rise and fall of the cult that formed around her in the 1950s and 1960s. Throughout, Anne reveals previously unknown facts about Rand’s history, rise to fame, and personal life; she looks at Rand with fascinating new research and a fresh perspective.

The book goes on sale today, so we are really trying to do all we can to help support it.

All the best-
Kenneth

P.S. Check out the book’s website at http://knopfdoubleday.com/aynrand/.

EARLY PRAISE
“Anne C. Heller has given us a great gift: an engaging, important biography of Ayn Rand, a quietly ubiquitous yet little-understood architect of the way we live now.” —Jon Meacham, author of American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House, winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Biography

“Almost 30 years after her death, Ayn Rand remains one of the most polarizing icons to tumble out of one of history’s most polarizing centuries. Heller’s biography promises what might well be a first: an impartial portrait—not of a revolutionary supergenius or a cultish fraud, but of a complex woman, born in Russia, who went on to create a dubiously powerful American mythology.” —New York Magazine

“This objective account of the Objectivist Rand will interest her still large and devoted readership." —Publishers Weekly

“Anne C. Heller has written a riveting, massively researched biography of the self styled ‘radical for capitalism’ Ayn Rand. Heller documents how Rand’s novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged became virtual bibles for the followers of Objectivism, Rand’s controversial philosophy, and she vividly dramatizes the passionate battles that ensued within Rand’s cult. This is a fascinating study of a fascinating and implacable woman; it’s a major work.”
—Patricia Bosworth, author of Diane Arbus: A Biography

Manchester -- At their annual convention last week, the Libertarian Party of NH endorsed the proposed spending cap for Manchester on the November ballot. Several party members helped with collecting signatures for the measure and were deeply disappointed at the delay created by some on the city council forcing the voters of Manchester to wait an extra year before having their say on whether this measure should be adopted.

The text of the resolution is as follows:

"Whereas, lower taxes are the result of lower spending by government, and whereas government should live within its means just as the citizenry does, the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire endorses the spending cap measure on the ballot in Manchester this November 2009 and encourages the citizens of Manchester to vote in its favor to gain somegreater control over their city's spending."

I have just signed a grassroots-led petition demanding the media tell the truth about President Obama's socialist health care takeover plan. Throughout the health care debate, the media have been the willing pawns of the Obama Administration-helping him to manufacture a health care "crisis", then selling his socialist solution.

Stand with me and thousands of other citizens who are holding the media accountable and demanding they tell the truth about "ObamaCare." Take a moment to join with me by adding your name to the Media Research Center's national petition, and stand against the liberal media's role in the latest big government power grab.
