Front page Sunday November 20: At stake, CWLP is challenging new federal rules that threaten its sale of excess power.

On November 6, 2012 the American people have an opportunity to challenge the plethora of new regulations by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats that have driven up the price of gas and food harming the poor and elderly most.

Challenge massive new laws like Obamacare that diminishes our quality of care, mandates we must purchase a product, adds a trillion dollar(+) new entitlement. Creates IPAB bureaucrats who have the final say on what medical procedures you will receive based upon cost. Drives up the price for your health insurance while millions lose their company paid insurance, except political cronies who are granted waivers.

Challenge the Dodd Frank financial reform law that has prevented prudent loans to home buyers harming an already anemic housing market, and loans for small business limiting job creation at a time of historic joblessness.

Challenge the uncertainty that creates fear of government within the business community who will not hire not knowing what big government will do to them next.

Challenge the assault on property rights by calling for the seizure of one citizens property  for redistribution to another citizen. Without property rights there is no individual liberty.

Challenge class warfare that pits one group of Americans against another engendering hate and envy.

Challenge new rules that could cost Springfield  rate payers millions, while allowing the Sierra Club’s extorted, mandated wind power purchases to stand.

In the meantime it’s a hay day for trial lawyers, Wall Street, political donors, unions, and environmental extremists.

Economic misery, and less freedom for the people.

November 6, 2012, aka Independence Day.

For the second time in the preceding three weeks and only the second time in 51 weeks the 572 agents in the CAAR MLS reported over 100 sales pending at 104. Does this mean the local housing market is starting to get some legs? We’ll have to wait and see, but we’ll take it that’s for [...]

Across the nation it was reported affordability for home ownership is the greatest in two decades. Interest rates continue hovering around the 5% mark that home buyers haven’t had available to them for decades.
