The Alabama Minuteman Reports Newsletter Celebrates Its 100th Issue
We the People – Alabama have been publishing this newsletter since September of 2009 after the 9/12 March on Washington DC when we felt in necessary to
counter the misleading reports that were being put out by the “lamestream” media at the time. We wound up publishing 26 issues during the last few months of 2009
and are very pleased to announce that this issue makes the 100th issue published in the 10 months since last September.
The newsletters are published as material comes in to fill them. Most of the material published in the newsletter comes from our readers who send information to
us when they find something they feel would be appropriate and about which they feel others need to be informed. We use much of what comes in and would like to
express our sincerest appreciation to all who have sent us articles on topics that the “lamestream” media just doesn’t seem to want to cover. We hope those who send
us material will continue to do so in order that we may continue to shine a bright light on tyranny.
When we first started publishing the newsletter, material came in at a rate that required we publish a one page issue about every 3 or 4 days. There were even a few
times when we published an issue every day for several days. So much material has come in over the last 10 months that we have expanded the newsletter to two
pages and tried to go to a once a week publication so we don’t inundate folks with them and they get disinterested in reading them. We have tried to keep the material
presented in the newsletters factual, pertinent, interesting and thought provoking. We have even tried to include some humor because one should never take
themselves too seriously.
The Alabama Minuteman Reports Newsletter is currently sent out in electronic format that is attached to an email notification and linked to the newsletter
archives on our website at www.wtp-alabama.com where all issues of the newsletter can be viewed and/or downloaded.
The response to the Alabama Minuteman Reports Newsletter has quite honestly taken us completely by surprise and has evolved into our best means of
communicating with the People. From the feedback we have received, the newsletter gets forwarded to people in most of the States in the United States and even to
folks in places like Moscow, Japan and Italy to name a few, which we think is really quite awesome.
With the continued help and support of our readers, We the People – Alabama hope to grow the publication and reach of the newsletter specifically and the news
component of the organization in general to where the socialist agenda driven media that currently exists will have no choice but to fulfill its constitutional
responsibilities or go out of business. To accomplish this, we ultimately hope that each State of the Union will establish its own We the People organization with its
own media component and newsletter that will provide the citizens of every State the information they need to make informed decisions in order to restore and
maintain constitutional governance in The United States of America.
To commemorate the 100th issue of the We the People – Alabama Minuteman Reports Newsletter we are going to
include in this issue some of the best articles, commentary and humor from the first 99 issues. This issue will also
provide new readers of this newsletter a good idea of what We the People – Alabama are all about.
Three Kinds of Americans
It has been said that there are 3 kinds of Americans; Looters,
Moochers and Producers. The remark was made by Neal
Boortz who is a radio talk show host out of Atlanta Georgia.
If one thinks about it, that really is a pretty accurate analogy.
The Producers are the ones that go to work every day, pay their
taxes, raise their families and play by the rules. “It is the common fate of the

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had

The recent flap in the media about government wanting to change the guidelines for breast
cancer examination from the current once a year for women over 40 to once every two years
for women under 50 is a good example of what will happen if government is given any
control over the People’s healthcare.
Regardless of where this recommendation came from, it clearly illustrates something that
should be given serious consideration.
The history of government regulation or involvement in anything has shown that
whenever government sets up a program as large as what it wants to do with healthcare, no
matter how well intentioned or noble it sounds in the beginning, it always changes the rules
down the road.

I said, "I didn't get finished." you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via

The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal
footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-
year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys
with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or
numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force
equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns
were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger
to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly

A Way to End Welfare

We now have generations of people that have
been on the welfare roles. The so called “Great
Society” programs created 50 years ago have done
nothing to reduce the number of people or even the
percentage of the population living below the
poverty level. All they have done is enslave
millions of potentially productive citizens to
government handouts and kept a few government
bureaucrats employed.
