This is an excerpt from a recent communication -

Dear Kathy Fountain of FOX News channel 13:  Thank you for hosting me on the TV show "Your Turn" that you host. It was a pleasure for me to respond to State Senator Mike Fasano. Your show had an impact in that Fasano has altered / delayed the legislation discussed and he explained that the catalyst was the public's response and objections. I also reveived many calls about the show. Should the need arise in the future, I can refer you to a doctor who instructs at the University of Tampa, who offered to refute the "medical expert" that appeared on screen with Fasano concerning a the anti libertarian law mandating Merck's vaccine Gardasil (against the sexually transmitted disease HPV or human papillomavirus). And on another topic, for future reference, I am in the process of joining the local Skeptics group.  If I may assist you in any way, please let me know. Thanks again, Rex Curry

Legislators who tout the Pledge of Allegiance met defeat three times recently at the hands of Dr. Rex Curry of the Libertarian Party of Florida. Thanks to the nation's leading authority on the Pledge of Allegiance, Dr. Curry, a new Pledge of Allegiance law died in committee, a federal judge ruled that a school pledge law is unconstitutional, and pledge supporters in the legislature met defeat in a debate challenge. http://rexcurry.net/debate-florida-legislature.html  

In the following radio broadcast, Dr. Curry discusses the debate issues (and all Florida legislators, including Rep. Legg and Sen. Fasano, were invited to participate). http://rexcurry.net/rexcurry9a-the-edge-2006.mp3

The pledge was opposed because of new historical discoveries showing that the pledge was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Florida's Legislators did not dispute the work of Professor Curry that proves the relationship of the pledge to National Socialism and totalitarianism. Even the sponsors of the proposed new pledge law, Representative John Legg and Senator Mike Fasano, were part of the debate challenge and they did not present any opposition. Senator Fasano was especially gracious in his response.

The controversies raised disturbing questions about legislators, and provide evidence that legislators are victims of government schools and the rampant ignorance that those socialist schools cultivate:

Many legislators were so ignorant of American history, that until they learned of Dr. Curry's research, they did not know that the early Pledge of Allegiance used a straight-arm salute. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html  

Most of them had never viewed actual historic photographs of the early pledge, as uncovered by Dr. Curry. http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

Legislators did not know that the USA's Pledge was the origin of the gesture of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party until they were schooled by Dr. Curry's discoveries. http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter1a1a.html

Legislators were so ignorant that they did not even know that "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party" until they received the information about Dr. Curry's historical discoveries concerning the Pledge of Allegiance. http://rexcurry.net/swastikaweb.html

Most legislators still persist in the exclusive use of the hackneyed shorthand, as if to cover-up the actual name of the Party. http://rexcurry.net/socialistmedia.html

Legislators were completely ignorant of the fact that the Bellamys were self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, the "Nationalist Educational Association," and their dogma of "military socialism," and Edward inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists in Germany. http://rexcurry.net/bookchapter1a1h.html

Legislators did not know (until they learned of Dr. Curry's discoveries) that the swastika, although an ancient symbol, was sometimes used to represent meshed "S" letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers' Party. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

Legislators did not know (until Dr. Curry’s work enlightened them) that the National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were allies in 1939 during WWII and together invaded Poland in a written pact to divide up Europe. http://rexcurry.net/socialists.html

Legislators were not aware of some of the comparative death tolls in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 65 million dead under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million dead under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million dead under the National Socialist German Workers' Party..

Legislators demonsrate (via the above) the utter failure of government schools.  Legislators who supported the pledge law were acting through ignorance about the Pledge's poisonous past. Most legislators are victims of the propaganda that is taught in the government's schools. Florida legislators are living proof that government schools are incompetent, unconstitutional and must end.  

Remove the pledge from the flag, remove the flag from schools, remove schools from government.

A federal judge declared unconstitutional a state law requiring students in government schools to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. U.S. District Judge Kenneth L. Ryskamp stated that the law violated the rights of a Palm Beach County student who sued the state last year.

Judge Ryskamp also ruled unconstitutional the provision of the 1942 Florida law requiring students in government schools to obtain permission from their parents to be excused from reciting the pledge.

Ryskamp's decision was cheered as a landmark ruling that upholds the highest tradition of being an American: freedom of thought and freedom of speech. Freedom of speech includes the right to speak and the right not to speak, and not to be forced to speak in a certain way.

But republican-socialists in Florida's legislature decried the decision, which they said was an assault on the beliefs of the majority.

One Republican-socialist, State Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, called the decision "ludicrous." Fasano this year spearheaded an unsuccessful attempt to ask Florida voters to decide whether the state constitution should require students in socialist schools (government schools) to stand and recite the pledge. Some politicians want to teach children to verbally fellate flags every morning in government schools. Students would have needed a parent's permission to be excused. Fasano made the absurd comment that "What a federal judge has done is taken away patriotism from our schools."  Fasano meant "government schools," but because Fasano is a republican-socialist he does not understand the difference between government schools as compared with other schools that exist through freedom and without the government.

In December, a High School junior in a government school in Boynton Beach, Cameron Frazier, 17, sued the state government's Department of Education, the School Board for government schools in Palm Beach County, a teacher and an assistant principal, saying his rights were violated when the teacher berated him in front of his class when he refused to stand for the pledge.

The socialist Pledge of Allegiance has a long history of persecution and even violence in efforts to force children to robotically chant it every morning like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.

The school board in February agreed to pay Frazier $32,500, a decision that drew vehement criticism from some parents and veterans groups. Board members also decided students did not have to stand for the pledge and did not need parental permission to opt out, saying they had been following state law in crafting their policy.

The government school district's settlement was dependent on a judge declaring the law unconstitutional.

Ryskamp ordered the school district to halt the policy, but school district spokesman Nat Harrington said the ruling would have little impact because district schools already have posted notices to that effect. Ryskamp's order also requires the district to remove the policy from its student handbooks, which Harrington said is "in the works."

"We have already implemented many aspects of that," Harrington said of Ryskamp's order, which is dated Wednesday.

In the government's State Department of Education, which oversees the socialist schools and which has historically touted the robotic chanting of the socialist pledge, spokeswoman Cathy Schroeder said attorneys for the government will review the decision to decide whether to appeal.  

Regarding the court decision, which ends force against students to robotically chant the socialist pledge, a government spokesman said "Of course, we're disappointed with the decision."

It was unclear whether government bureaucrats also has wished that the Judge would restore the Pledge's early straight-arm salute.

In his decision, Ryskamp cited a 1943 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that a West Virginia law requiring students in government schools to salute and pledge to the flag violated their First and 14th Amendment rights.

Since that case, Ryskamp stated, federal courts have established a body of case law that irrefutably recognizes the right of students in government schools "to remain silent and seated during the pledge."

Lawyers for the government had argued that striking down the Florida law would violate parents' constitutional rights, citing a 2004 case in which the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a California father's plea to strike the words "under God" from the pledge.

But Ryskamp said that decision didn't support the state's "novel legal assertions" and in fact recognized the ability of a student in a government school to assert constitutional rights.

But the justices decided the father, Michael Newdow, lacked the standing to represent his daughter in court because he didn't have custody of her.

Ryskamp also rejected the state's argument that Frazier and the school board were misinterpreting the law, which state lawyers claimed allowed students to sit during the pledge with permission.

Another Republican-socialist, State Sen. Ken Pruitt, R-Port St. Lucie, said the decision was "another hit at our traditional values of our country" in referring to the socialist salute that is robotically chanted in socialist schools for 12 years of each child's life.

"To let a 6- or 7- or 8-year-old decide, whether or not they have parental permission, is insane," the insane republican-socialist said.  It was unclear whether Sen. Pruitt also wanted the pledge's early straight-arm salute restored.

Pruitt this year sent letters to state Republican-socialists seeking contributions to oppose what he called a "fight against the pledge."  Democrat-socialists have said that Republican-socialists are exploiting the pledge lawsuit for fund-raising purposes.

It is fortunate that Fasano's disgusting pledge bill died in Pruitt's committee, but Pruitt said Ryskamp's decision would have meant that such a law would be overturned anyway because federal rulings trump state law.  In a comment that was ominously reminiscent of the Bellamy doctrine of National Socialism, Pruitt said a nationwide  effort is needed to "stop the insanity,"  though the insane Republican-socialist could not detail what such an effort would entail.

Frazier, the student at the government school, could not be reached for comment Thursday, but he has said in a statement that he is patriotic and believes the meaning of the flag has been tarnished by the "policies of our government."

***********************
Here are the points raised as the debate topics:

1. Dr. Rex Curry showed that the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag) used a straight-arm salute and it was the origin of the salute of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). Dr. Curry helped to establish that it was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the "ancient Roman salute" is a myth. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html  The myth is still repeated in modern efforts to cover-up Dr. Curry's discoveries about the Pledge's poisonous pedigree.

2. The original Pledge began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. Historic photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html   In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children casually performing the forced ritual chanting.  Professor Curry showed that, due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the Nazi salute. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

3. Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy (author of "A Moment of Madness") were socialists.  Edward and Charles were brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, the "Nationalist Educational Association," and their dogma of "military socialism," and Edward inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists worldwide (including Germany) via “Nationalist Clubs.”   http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-german-connections.html  The Pledge was the origin of the Nazi salute. "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party." A mnemonic device is the swastika. Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Professor Curry discovered that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists to represent "S" letters for their "socialism."  Curry changed the way that people view the symbol of the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party. Hitler altered his own signature to use the same stylized "S" letter for "socialist" and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

Dr. Curry showed that many modern myths about swastikas use the false belief that Nazis called their symbol a "swastika."  German National Socialists did not call their symbol a "swastika."

Professor Curry showed that many modern myths use a false belief that Nazis called themselves "Nazis."  The myths cause widespread ignorance of the eytmology of the word "Nazi." Party members called themselves "National Socialists," not "Nazis."

***********************

The debate was proposed on March 14th and again on March 21st of 2006. The disputed bills were HJR 307 and SJR 534 that propose a State Constitutional amendment to require the daily recital of the pledge in the government schools and "to provide protocol for showing respect during the recital."  

***********************

The following is the text that launched the contest as it was communicated to Florida legislators on March 14th and again on March 21st -

Please oppose Pledge of Allegiance laws in Florida (e.g. current proposals in HJR 307 and SJR 534). Representative John Legg and Senator Mike Fasano (the sponsors) are probably acting through ignorance about the Pledge's poisonous past. They are probably victims of the propaganda that is taught in the government's schools. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-lawyer.html

This is a public challenge to every Florida legislator to debate the nation's leading authority on the pledge, Dr. Rex Curry, regarding the pledge law. The debate can occur next week on a radio show, or on some other convenient time and place.

Dr. Curry showed that the USA's early Pledge of Allegiance (to the flag) used a straight-arm salute and it was the origin of the salute of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis). Dr. Curry helped to establish that it was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the "ancient Roman salute" is a myth. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html The myth is still repeated in modern efforts to cover-up Dr. Curry's discoveries about the Pledge's putrid pedigree.

Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy (author of "A Moment of Madness") and Frederick Bellamy (who introduced Edward to socialistic "Fourierism") were socialists. Edward, Charles and Frederick were brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, the "Nationalist Educational Association." Edward Bellamy wrote the bible of the National Socialism movement in 1888, entitled "Looking Backward" and it was an international bestseller, translated into every major language (including German, Russian and Chinese) where it inspired national socialists worldwide. Their anti libertarian dogma touted "military socialism" and an "industrial army." Edward inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists worldwide (including Germany) via "Nationalist Clubs." They wanted all of society (including schools) to ape the military. http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-german-connections.html The Pledge was the origin of the Nazi salute. "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers' Party." A mnemonic device is the swastika. Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Professor Curry discovered that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists to represent "S" letters for their "socialism." Curry changed the way that people view the symbol of the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party. Hitler altered his own signature to use the same stylized "S" letter for "socialist" and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

The Bellamys supported a government takeover of education. When their wish was granted, the government schools imposed segregation by law and taught racism as official policy. At the same time the government schools imposed the robotic chanting of Francis Bellamy's Pledge, including the straight-arm salute that was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Through the USA's history, the Pledge has inspired violence and authoritarianism, and it still does. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-flag-nazis.html It was a horrid example to German socialists and to the world, and much of that domestic behavior even outlasted the National Socialist German Workers' Party by decades, even into the 1960s.

It was the same dogma that led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party (21 million dead); the People's Republic of China (35 million dead) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (62 million dead). In 1939, the National Socialist German Workers' Party joined with Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as allies to invade Poland in a scheme to divide up Europe.

Politicians who support the proposed law would support restoring the Pledge's early straight-arm salute, so that the history is clear.

The law they are pushing is at http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=31941

**************************

Florida legislators (and probably other idiots in other states) passed a new law that every classroom in government's schools (socialist schools) must have a United States flag of a particular size.

Historically, schools in Florida not only had flags in each class, but the flags were on wooden poles that were set in metallic posts that were screwed into the wall, so that the flag hung outward from the wall.

Those are the flags to which another FL laws requires teachers to lead children in robotic chanting each morning for 12 years of their lives to brainwash them into worship of wise and benevolent socialism.  http://rexcurry.net/debate-florida-legislature.html

The new law caused many school personnel to hurriedly spend money and time to replace current flags with slightly larger flags.

Dr. Rex Curry exposed how the law that was supposed to "glorify" flags had a possible unintended consequence: the new flags are hanging flat up against the wall, vertically hanging down, via a string (similar to a picture frame) strung on a horizontal thin invisible stick or wire that is stiff and is part of the topmost end of the flag, and the flags hang ANYWHERE that there was already a protrusion from the wall or blackboard, all as if someone dashed around with armfuls of the new flags throwing them up on the walls, and throwing out the better displayed flags that were already there.

LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE DR. REX CURRY

The incumbent Democrat and her Libertarian challenger have very different views on government's role.

Libertarian candidate Rex Curry and Democrat Arthenia L. Joyner agree the residents of state House District 59, one of the poorest districts in Florida, need help. They agree on nothing else.

Curry, a sixth-generation Floridian, said that the unchecked growth of government has actually harmed its citizens.

"Poor people hurt the most from taxes on goods and services, and from the loss of jobs when businesses are taxed and cannot grow," said Curry, a Tampa lawyer.

Joyner, a lawyer in Tampa since 1969, has dedicated much of her life to boards and agencies that serve the once vital and now blighted inner
city. In a district that is nearly 60 percent black and 59 percent female, Joyner was elected in 2000 with 70 percent of the vote.

She focused on economic development issues, which she sees as central to revitalizing the depressed east Tampa community.

Curry lives in the district, but his recipe for improving the plight of its needy residents is to shrink government. The state's population has doubled during the last quarter-century, he said, but the budget has increased more than 1,000 percent during the same period.

So why aren't people better off, he asked.

"In a healthy society, the need for government should constantly decrease as we solve our problems," Curry said. "The marketplace is how you make intelligent decisions. People spending their own money."

Joyner said the Legislature faces a budget crisis this coming year as it struggles to "fund recurring programs with nonrecurring funds." New taxes are already being discussed, she said, though it would be preferable to handle shortfalls with belt-tightening.

Curry proposes strangulation rather than belt-tightening.

"I encourage people to remove their children from government schools," he said. "My goal is to get them their money back."
