Cindy Young: Arkansas moves to ratify the ERA

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, January 26, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Guest: Cindy Young


Cindy Young is the past President of Business and Professional Women in Arkansas and also the past President of Business and Professional Women Nationally. She has been working for ratification of the ERA for a long time. Last Wedneday was a red letter day for her and for all women who care about freedom and the future of America.

America's women are ready to finish the American Revolution, making freedom a reality for them, their daughters, and for the future we will all share.


What the Show is about and being a Spiritual Politician

Bringing government into alignment with the Lessons of Jesus:

The focus of our show is how to bring government into alignment with truth of our spiritual nature. So America started with the idea we are all, inherently free. We are free to choose, free to live, to breath, and to live our lives as we see fit. Government does not own us; government is just a contractor, providing service.

That framework is in alignment with the spiritual truth that each of us connects to God directly, needing no agency as an intermediary. To be free is to be free in the spirit ans so in the flesh that temporarily holds the spirit.

When Thomas Jefferson said we were all possessed of inherent rights, existing before government he was extending a spiritual truth into a civic form. It is that Mission Statement from the Declaration of Independence we need to keep in mind.

Because we are free and reject, as did Christ, the use of deceit, manipulation or violence we need to be conscious about our relationships with others and find ways to grow into the sense of connection and community that makes us One in Him.

This is especially true for Christians but it is true for everyone else as well.

Nearly every major spiritual viewpoint enunciates the idea that we are connected to each other and should be good to each other. Christians just have an even more exacting mission. Christians are to love every one, treating them as they would Jesus.

Jesus was very clear about how we were to treat others. He did not say that it was alright to be abusive, deceitful, and violent if we used government as our tool and agent. There was no exception, He wanted all of our hearts, minds and souls. Christ did not lay out any plan of government, but left it to the conscience of the individual, the same way He connects to each of us.

We are Americans but we are also members of a human family that connects us to something truly wonderful and immense.

So our job here at the Spiritual Politician is to look at Government as a human tool we use every day. We need to consider if government is working in a way that speaks that common understanding about our connections to each other and, if it is not, we need to change it.

Americans have had many successes over the last 231 years since our founding and, learning from both mistakes and successes we can consider that question. So here at the Spiritual Politician we look at the truth behind of rhetoric.

Given what is going on today in Government what we may decide to do it reboot the whole system.

To provide the examples of what has gone right and what has gone very wrong we here at the Spiritual Politician have put together several different kinds of segments you will hear on our show from time to time.

David Owens: Taking America by the grass roots

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, January 5, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Our Guest: David Owens


Mr. Owens has been involved in politics since the 60s but found his true calling in helping his town survive government. Elected as chairman of the board of supervisors of London Britain Township, in Landenberg, Pa., the determined Owens has lead the Board of Supervisors in the town with a population of only around 4,000 but innovated continuously, creating exciting examples of how Libertarianism can work in real life.

"For those who don't speak the language of Pennsylvania townships, that essentially means I'm mayor for a small town of about 4,000 people," Owens said.

Through such seemingly boring edicts as unfunded mandates for water quality government bureaucracy is destroying the financial well being of towns and cities across the country. They won't do that to London Britain, at least not as long as Owens has anything to say in the matter.

Gay and Bob Smither: When our children disappear: What you can do.

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, January 5, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Gay and Bob Smither


Gay and Bob Smither are the founders of the  Laura Recovery Center Foundation,
established to keep children safe by teaching communities to respond immediately
to and find those who are lost or suspected to have been abducted.

The Foundation was started after the abduction and murder of their daughter,
Laura Kate Smither.

Laura Kate was 12 year old child, an aspiring ballerina, certified scuba diver,
cadette girl scout, and gifted student when she was abducted near her home in
Friendswood, Texas on April 3rd, 1997. More than 6,000 volunteers put their own
lives on hold to give their time and commitment to find Laura. Her body was
discovered 17 days later.

The Foundation teaches the skills necessary for communities to respond
immediately in such emergencies thus increasing the chances for survival for
those who have been lost or abducted. Training is available to children,
communities, and to law enforcement personnel. Cooperation between family,
community, and law enforcement is an essential to ensuring the safety of
children. The Smithers took their personal grief and used it to establish an
ongoing mission aimed at making people of all ages safer by training individuals
in communities to act effectively.

The Smithers will talk about the mission of the Laura Recovery Center Foundation,
their own life journeys, and why Americans must take control of their own
communities.

This Week's Show
Our Guest: David Swanson

Impeachment. A few months ago only extremists were talking seriously about overcoming the aversion to passing a bill of impeachment and removing Richard Cheney and George Bush from office.

Sheriff Richard Mack: Can Americans take back their country?

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, December 8, 2006 4 pm PDT

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Sheriff Richard Mack


He has been asked to run for President in 2008 by ordinary people who understand what he is about. But to make that happen there may have to be a DRAFT MACK Movement. That may well happen. Given the humor of American today this committed family man may well become the next president.

Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Graham County, received the highest vote in the nation in the recent election for US Senate running as a Libertarian. He is charismatic, focused, and he has a message. He has been speaking out for a long time and his principles are clear. Let the people govern themselves in their own communities, comes through whenever he speaks.

Mack proved to the entire nation that he was one sheriff who "stuck to his guns" when he was the first sheriff in the country to sue the Clinton administration to stop the Brady Bill. Mack's case went all the way to the US Supreme Court where he won a landmark decision on the issue of states' rights. That ruling, which reinforces the fact that the Federal Government can not force their programs on the States, has been virtually hidden from the public by the media. Mack believes the people must know to do it for themselves.

Richard Mack has been in law enforcement for over 20 years. He worked his way up the ladder from parking cadet for the Provo Police Department while in college, to Detective. In 1988, Mack moved to Arizona and was elected Sheriff of Graham County, twice.

Other honors include:

Graduate of the FBI National Academy

Elected Official of the Year (1994) by New Mexico/Arizona Coalition of Counties

Received the Firearms Industry's "Cicero" award (1995)

Law Enforcement Officer of the Year (1995) by the NRA

Defender of the 2nd Amendment Award by Gun Owners of America

Sheriff Mack has been a consultant on numerous cases regarding police abuse, brutality or other government and police misconduct for attorneys and citizens alike. He lectures on various Constitutional issues, especially gun control and the 2nd Amendment, States' rights, federal intervention, the proper role of law enforcement, and the peace officer's oath of office. He is also an expert at explaining why a Sheriff is the leading law enforcement authority in his county. Mack believes that the Constitution must be enforced.

Publications authored by Mack include, "The Proper Role of Law Enforcement" and "Protect and Serve: Time for Sheriffs to Walk Tall."

Richard Mack will discuss the issue of justice and law and why it must be people on the local level who control their own lives on our show this Friday.

Hear Sheriff Mack talk about how Americans can take back their country this Friday at 4pm, PST on the Spiritual Politicianan at BBSradio.com.

John Connolly on the issue of impeachment

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, December 1, 2006 4 pm PDT

This Week's Show
Our Guest: John Connolly

Impeachment: Congress has the responsibility to police the President in our balance of powers. If they all fail can the people do it themselves? Hear what John Connolly has to say on the issue that is moving Americans to action.

Americans are asking Congress to take action, and the action they want are bills of impeachment sent to George W. Bush and Richard Cheney. The responsibilities invested in Congress include the obligation to oversee the executive branch, ensuring that there is balance. This is in effect a mandate to police the activities of the President of the United States, yet Nancy Pelosi has said that despite the egregious behavior of this administration she will not take the issue of impeachment off the table.

Americans sweated blood this past year to change the make up of Congress because it is Congress that is empowered to take action. 51% of Americans want Bush impeached.

On December 10th many Americans will participate in Impeachment Day, with events taking place across the country to discuss the causes for impeachment and plan further action. Those causes include the War in Iraq, lying to get us into that war, using terrorism to start a war that enriched those closely connected to the Bush Administration, including Richard Cheney, violating the Constitution, attempting to alter the Constitution, which sets forth the inherent rights of Americans, using the political process to first covertly engage in torture and then to cover it up. The list goes on, covering activities that include the political manipulation of America's court system and systemic violations of the rights of Americans using the Patriot Act to enable spying on all Americans.


David Swanson, Michael Hersh, and others have come together to take the issue of Impeachment off the table and consider what the people must do to clean America's house.


On this week's Spiritual Politician, the show that exposes the nastiness in every part of our lives, John Connolly, long time investigative journalist and commentator, will discuss those options and the role of Congress as a policeman for the presidency.


John Connolly has done stories on Arnold Schwarzenegger,”Arnold the Barbarian,” during the sexual harassment scandal that erupted in Schwarzenegger's successful 2004 campaign for governor of California, on Donald Trump, revealing that the flamboyant figure was not a billionaire but broke. In August 1991 Connolly wrote an article for Spy that exposed the illegal transfer of the MacMillan employee pension funds by then owner Robert Maxwell. Upon publication, Maxwell returned the funds.


Connolly's reporting was praised in the Columbia School of Journalism Review. Connolly has since been nominated for four national magazine awards for investigative journalism, including one for the July 1993 US magazine cover story Hollywood Madam, which was the first major magazine article to break the Heidi Fleiss story.

Can the people do it themselves? What obstacles to they face? John Connolly, the long time investigator of wrongs that evade retribution has insights Americans need to hear.

December 10th is Impeachment Day. What will it take to return justice to America? All of us need answers.

So our job here at the Spiritual Politician is to look at Government as a human tool we use every day. We need to consider if government is working in a way that speaks that common understanding about our connections to each other and, if it is not, we need to change it.

Americans have had many successes over the last 231 years since our founding and, learning from both mistakes and successes we can consider that question. So here at the Spiritual Politician we look at the truth behind of rhetoric.

Given what is going on today in Government what we may decide to do it reboot the whole system.

To provide the examples of what has gone right and what has gone very wrong we here at the Spiritual Politician have put together several different kinds of segments you will hear on our show from time to time.

Angelina Alexander: Her son was stolen. Is your's next?

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, November 24, 2006 4 pm PDT

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Angelina Alexander

Angelina Alexander, a mother who has been struggling in Orange County, California, to retrieve her little son from a system that admits they should never have taken him – but refuses her pleas. The show airs Friday, November 24, 2006 at 4 PM PDT


Ms. Alexander if the mother of three children. Her son, Jonathan was taken from her five years ago and her rights severed although Children's Services admitted they acted without cause after an investigation. Angelina has never stopped thinking of her little boy and trying to contact him. She knows he remembers her because just once she managed to talk to him briefly before his 'adoptive' parents grabbed the phone and hung up.

Now, Ms. Alexander spends all of her spare time helping the growing numbers of other bereft parents whose children have been stolen legally and without cause by the same agency that took Jonathan. Unsettling evidence now points to a system and intentional policy to take children out of good homes for reasons that run from adoption to use in medical experiments.

Americans need to know that corruption does not stop with elections and Congress. Corruption in America is destroying families every day. We need to take action so that children such as Jonathan can be saved and returned to their parents. Angelina Alexander will share her story with us Friday.


What the Show is about and being a Spiritual Politician

Bringing government into alignment with the Lessons of Jesus:

The focus of our show is how to bring government into alignment with truth of our spiritual nature. So America started with the idea we are all, inherently free. We are free to choose, free to live, to breath, and to live our lives as we see fit. Government does not own us; government is just a contractor, providing service.

That framework is in alignment with the spiritual truth that each of us connects to God directly, needing no agency as an intermediary. To be free is to be free in the spirit ans so in the flesh that temporarily holds the spirit.

When Thomas Jefferson said we were all possessed of inherent rights, existing before government he was extending a spiritual truth into a civic form. It is that Mission Statement from the Declaration of Independence we need to keep in mind.

Because we are free and reject, as did Christ, the use of deceit, manipulation or violence we need to be conscious about our relationships with others and find ways to grow into the sense of connection and community that makes us One in Him.

This is especially true for Christians but it is true for everyone else as well.

Nearly every major spiritual viewpoint enunciates the idea that we are connected to each other and should be good to each other. Christians just have an even more exacting mission. Christians are to love every one, treating them as they would Jesus.

Jesus was very clear about how we were to treat others. He did not say that it was alright to be abusive, deceitful, and violent if we used government as our tool and agent. There was no exception, He wanted all of our hearts, minds and souls. Christ did not lay out any plan of government, but left it to the conscience of the individual, the same way He connects to each of us.

We are Americans but we are also members of a human family that connects us to something truly wonderful and immense.

Phillip Smart Speaks out: Corruption deep in the heart of Bush

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, November 17, 2006 4 pm PDT

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Phillip Smart

Our guest this week will be Phillip Smart, recent candidate for the Texas State Senate, District 22, who was forced to run his campaign from solitary confinement, jailed in Ellis County. His crime? The CPA has asked too many questions about the financial condition of Ellis County, insisting on receiving information, information to which the Ellis County attorney admitted he was fully entitled.

Philip Smart had been targeted by the powers that be in Ellis County Texas for three years because he stepped up to the plate to blow the whistle on the corruption and graft that is taking place in that small, quiet part of Texas. Now he has been accused of being a terrorist and given the fact that Americans no longer have the protection of the 4th Amendment he may end up in one of the internal prison camps set up across the country to hold political dissidents.

The Get Smart Story chronicalling the courageous campaign of the plucky CPA will be featured in the Iconoclast, the newspaper that is printed for the home town of George W. Bush, in Crawford, Texas.

Timothy Moultrie files to decertify the Republican Party in South Carolina

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, November 10, 2006 4 pm PDT

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Timothy Moultrie


Spiritual Politician, the show that exposes the devious strategies of people in power will host Timothy Moultrie, the activist from South Carolina who has made it his business to call government and political parties to obey the laws they make for others. After both major political parties blatantly ignored the laws that mandate how their parties will be certified and ignoring the repeated requests by Moultrie that they comply, the law suit demanding they be decertified was filed on October 25th.

Timothy was a candidate for Superintendent of Education this year and received 20,000 votes in the tight race.

Timothy Moultrie has been teaching College Preparatory and Honors classes in public schools for more than a decade. He holds a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Bachelor of Science in Experimental Psychology and is on the Board of STOPtax, an organization dedicated to property tax relief. He is married and the father of two young children.

On this show we will discuss the law suit and the forces of corruption in South Carolina that have been aided and abetted by long time Libertarian from New York, Howie Rich and his cadre of Carpetbaggers.

Cleaning up politics is a job for someone with a strong stomach and a strong streak of compassion.
