Florida Judge Rules ObamaCare Unconstitutional, ALG Responds

 

Bill Wilson, President of Americans for Limited Government, released the following statement after Florida Judge Vinson ruled ObamaCare unconstitutional.

“For the second time, the federal courts have ruled that the federal government’s takeover of the health care system is unconstitutional.  Congress needs to act now to defund the regulation writing on this unconstitutional law to prevent further damage from being done to our nation’s health care system.   It is clear with a majority of states suing to stop the law, that it is unpopular, unconstitutional and unenforceable.  Congress needs to act now to correct this mistake.”

With all Americans increasingly concerned about the unsustainable debt Obama and his cohorts have imposed on taxpayers, stopping any further advance of ObamaCare is vital to getting our fiscal house in order.  First, stop any further regulation or dictates to the states.  Second, repeal the law outright.  And finally, move with common sense, market-based proposals to make the necessary repairs.  Judge Vinson, following the ruling by Judge Hudson, has done a great service to the American people by beginning this crucial process.”

Grand Jury Says Law Officers Acted Properly In Shooting

Sheriff Ben Stewart reports that on Friday, January the 28th, 2011, a Madison County Grand Jury Investigation was conducted into the shooting death of Rudy G. Taylor by a Madison County Deputy Sheriff and a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper that occurred on Saturday morning January the 8th, 2011, at approximately 9:40 AM.

 A summary of the Grand Jury findings and report are as follows: 

1.  On January the 8th, 2011 at approximately 9:40 AM, the two Officers approached a tent that had been illegally erected by W/M, Rudy G. Taylor in a drainage ditch at the entry ramp of State Road 53 South             and Interstate 10 West Bound.

2. Rudy Taylor was a long time transient with a dislike for law enforcement officers.  

3. The night before the Officers encountered Mr. Taylor at his tent, he had shown an illegal short-barreled, pump action, Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun to another transient that he had invited to his tent.  He advised that he would use the shotgun on anyone that bothered him. 

4.  A black mask, shotgun shells, (12 gauge slugs.) and hand restraints were found in Mr. Taylors’ tent. 

5.  When the Officers approached the tent, the Deputy identified himself as a Deputy with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and ordered Mr. Taylor out of the tent. 

6.  Mr. Taylor opened the flap of the tent and pointed his shotgun directly at the Deputy’s head. 

7.  The Deputy was approximately 5 – 6 feet from the shotgun barrel. 

8.  Upon seeing Mr. Taylor point the shotgun at the Deputy’s head, both Officers drew their weapons and started firing. 

9.  Seventeen bullets were fired by the Officers.  

10.  Rudy Taylor was struck nine times by the bullets fired. 

11. Rudy Taylor died within minutes of being shot. 

12.  Florida Statute 776.012 provides that deadly force may be used when a person reasonably believes such force necessary to protect him or another from death or serious bodily injury.

In addition to the findings of the Grand Jury, Sheriff Ben Stewart advised that the investigation by the State Attorney’s Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement also cleared the two Officers.  Finally, Sheriff Stewart also stated that the Deputy involved in the shooting followed Madison County Sheriff’s Office Policy and that He stands behind the actions of his Deputy.  Four Officers have been shot and killed in the State of Florida since the first of the year.  “I thank God that we did not have two more killed during this incident,” Stewart said.

MCHS Basketball Update

By Madison County High Head Varsity Basketball Coach Eddie Richie
Coach’s Note: Districts start Wednesday Feb. 9th. Semi-Finals Feb. 11th and Championship Feb 12.

What a night!!! Let me start by congratulating the JV boys basketball team going UNDEFEATED at HOME!! Wow, what a season. with only one senior for next year, this group we have coming back should be strong the next 2 years!! Jv has one more contest vs. Baker County on Tuesday, Feb. 1st. If they win, they will finish their season 19-1, best record E-V-E-R. Live Oak dind’t make it easy Saturday. Live Oak almost scored 50 points in the first half!! A lot of it was them making some great shots, but Coach Demps knew that his defense had something to do with that. He gave a motivating speech at half time and Live Oak went on to only score 19 in the 2nd half as the JV Cowboys came all the way back from more than 10 down to win!!

The varsity boys game was just as entertaining, but with a lot less offense. This game was controlled by defense throughout and ended that way as well. Varsity started off hot, sprinting out to a 10 – 0 lead. That lead slowly dwindled as they found themselves up only 1 at half. It was back and forth through out the 3rd, Cowboys held a 2 point lead going into the 4th quarter. They maintained that lead but it wasn’t easy. The score was tied with 20 seconds left. The cowboys ran a play to perfection and got Tre Arnold a wide open 12 foot shot from the baseline. He hit like it was nothing. The awesome thing about that is there was so much redemption in that shot. Tre got rebound with 3 seconds left against East Gadsden and missed the game tying shot as time ran out. I always tell the players that you will get a 2nd chance and you have to be ready. Tre was ready. Live Oak called a time out with less than 5 seconds left to set up a play. The Cowboys defensive unit was already at the scorers table ready to check in because they knew it was their time to step up. As Live Oak’s leading scorer dribbled down the court, senior Bryan “Busta” Williams poked the ball away, we recovered and the celebration began. What a great night for the seniors!!

The senior festivities went well. The house was packed. All the seniors got minutes, including our special senior Nicko Thomas who did not make the team this year, but because he has been our film man and we love him so much, he got to dress tonight and take part in Senior night. Also, there was touching moment for Bryan Williams. His family had to work so he had no escort. All the seniors took part in escorting him to center court. I am blessed to be able to coach a team with that much character.

Saturday, January 29, 2011 was like a Spring day compared to the past two months.
The high temperature in Madison was 69 degrees with beautiful blue skies. Just before sundown, the birds were feeding nearby. The robins have been around for several weeks.
The others are stopping by to make the neighborhood a peaceful place to be. Still waiting for more exotic flyers.

Cell Phone Scam

This information came from the Florida Police Chiefs Association:

Please pass this along.  This is a confirmed cell phone scam being reported to local authorities.

Victim will receive a text message from a local area code stating – “money was deposited in your account”.  When the victim replies to the text (typically with… “who is this??”) it creates an automatic authorization for a $10+ messaging charge to be added to your cell phone account EACH MONTH unless cancelled.  The suspects are likely overseas and set up false organizations to receive and disperse funds.  This type of scam is very difficult to track.

DO NOT REPLY to these type text messages – even it’s from a local area code.

Check your billing carefully.  This scam works similarly to authorizing a donation via text message (like Red Cross or other legitimate charities).

Madison Woman Named 2011 Correctional Officer of the Year

image008

Deputy Marie McClamma of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office 
Honored as the Florida Sheriffs Association “Correctional Officer of the Year”

Tallahassee, Fla. (January 28, 2011) –The Florida Sheriffs Association is pleased to announce that Marie McClamma of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office was the recipient of this year’s  Correctional Officer of the Year Award. This week at the Florida Sheriffs Association Mid-Winter Conference in Amelia Island, FSA President Sheriff Harrell Reid of Hamiliton County, Jefferson County Sheriff David Hobbs and Florida Governor Rick Scott presented McClamma with her award, recognizing thedistinguished deputy for her dedication and commitment to law enforcement and public safety.

“We offer thanks to the thousands of Florida corrections officers who work in our county jails,” said Steve Casey, executive director of the Florida Sheriffs Association. “Their jobs are dangerous and often go without recognition. We are honored to have the opportunity to help tell their story by highlighting the heroic actions of Jefferson County Corrections Deputy Marie McClamma.”

Throughout her tenure at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy McClamma has continually exemplified determination and courage while serving and protecting her community.  Last year, while working in the Jefferson County Jail, McClamma fought for her life (and that of her unborn baby) when a prisoner she was escorting attacked her in an effort to break out of jail. She was willing to do whatever was necessary to prevent the prisoner from escaping, without regard to her own wellbeing. McClamma fought the inmate through the hallway and an office, where he attacked her with scissors and a taser gun. She was able to maintain the upper hand and stop him from escaping until additional deputies arrived to assist in subduing the inmate. 

At the time of the attack, McClamma was 7 months pregnant. Today, she is the proud mother of a healthy baby girl and is grateful for the appreciation and outpouring of support from the community. While she recognizes the risks law enforcement and corrections officers take every day, she is determined to do her best no matter what the day brings. Being a Corrections Deputy is a career that she is passionate about—and she and her family are grateful for a positive outcome.

“Deputy McClamma served our community with courage and dedication in the face of danger,” Jefferson County Sheriff David Hobbs said at the ceremony. “Our entire staff is proud to see her efforts recognized as we continue to protect and serve countless Floridians.”
