Homeschool Field Trip: Meet the Governor

So our family and another homeschooled family decided to take a little road trip down to the OSU Auditorium to meet our Oklahoma Governor and hear her speak.  We had a nice drive in the pouring rain!

Headed to Tulsa in the pouring rain!

Where is our freedom now?

Unfortunately, the meeting was largely centered around science and technology, instead of focusing our destroyed liberties.

Governor Mary Fallin, along with her legislative cabinet

During this meeting, the Governor allowed some of the citizens to ask questions publicly, and my dad was able to get a question in.  Later, we met Mary and spoke with her for a bit.  She hates the constitution and does not know what freedom is all about, since she, at the Oklahoma State Convention this year, called Ron Paul supporters "Obama supporters".  She also endorsed Mitt Romney for president, the candidate who supports the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows for indefinite detention of any American citizen, without charge, trial or due process of law.  So, the way I see it is, big government against the people!

Anyway, the drive back was a blast, filled with singing, junking out on candy bars, and good conversations!

JUNK FOOD  -  I rarely eat this kinda stuff, but hey, we were on a road trip  :)

Politics is a large part of my life right now, since it involves our liberties being taken away piece by piece.  I'll try and post more!

Goodnight!

Convention Weekend

Hi all,
The past few days have been a whirlwind!  Going to a Republican State Convention is probably not what a "normal" teenager would choose to do on a weekend  :)  I'll give you a basic rundown of what went down...

On the drive to OKC...some people needed some rest before the eventful weekend ;)

Friday (May 11th), my dad, a few friends and I carpooled to Oklahoma City for the Oklahoma Republican National Convention.  When we got to OK City, we went to a committee meeting hosted at the Embassy Suites, to fix some things, but the RNC did not follow their rules!  (will hopefully post a video I took of the meeting soon)

After the Committee meeting at the Embassy Suites, we left there and went to a Casino for the Liberty Pep rally.  We watched and sung along as Jordan Page played for us all.  We also got to hear Tom Woods and Jason Rink speak.  I, along with several others, gave a 60 second stump speech.  To sum up the day, it was an exhausting and exciting day, especially getting to meet other liberty-minded people like me!

 This is Justin Rink speaking...

Saturday (May 12th), we got to the Embassy Suites at a bright and early 6:45 a.m.  My friend Suriyah and I volunteered about 3 hours of our time to help register delegates into the convention, starting at about 7:30 a.m.  That job was very fast paced and fun!  After that was done, the convention started a little bit after that.  Suriyah set up a Ustream account (live video stream) and we used someone's camera to live stream the convention online.  The camera was set up for the entire convention (which lasted about 8-9 hours inside).  Suriyah was typing and chatting away with almost 1900 viewers and I was giving vocal updates part of the time.

Mary Fallin, the Governor of Oklahoma got up on stage and spoke.  Everything she was speaking sounded great.  She said she was going to pass the Open-carry law, which is awesome!  Then, she ruined her whole speech by endorsing Mitt Romney for president!!  There was massive booing and jeering at her, and then the Ron Paul chant started.  I couldn't help but participate in the booing and chanting  :)

From the beginning, the Oklahoma Republican Party did NOT follow the rules, once again!  Many motions from the floor were ignored, too many to mention here.  At around 4:30 p.m., the RNC ordered the hotel staff to shut the walls in, which means half of the crowd was shut from the other part of the room.  Then the lights went off briefly.  Then they unlawfully adjourned the meeting, even though there was much unfinished business.

We reconvened outside in the parking lot (all Ron Paul supporters since everyone else went home) to finish the convention, legally and according to the rules.  My friend and I live streamed the entire 4 hour process outside, while Ustream viewers plotted how they would get pizzas sent to the hungry crowd.  MANY pizzas arrived, all by the hand of caring patriots from around the world.

I will try to post more links and info later, but it's really late and I gotta hit the hay :)\

Just Imagine . . .

You're wading in a peaceful creek. Life is good, when suddenly a flash flood overwhelms the small creek, and now you're on a crash course through the torrent, to a devastating end! You're trying to keep your head above water and you know in your heart that this is a bad situation, but keep trying to convince yourself that the current is leading you to safety.  Little do you know, it's leading you closer and closer to a massive drop off.

People on the banks of the river call out to you time and time again and throw life raft after life raft to you, warning you of the inevitable danger you face, yet you don't grab on...you don't listen.

The same is happening with this country, the United States. The media and our leaders put up a barrier between you and reality, giving you a false sense of security. Then, when the time comes for you to face the hard truth that has been suppressed, and is now being shown to you, and the "elephant in the room" has "come out of the closet", you choose to look at the mouse in the corner.

I urge you to take responsibility as an American citizen and stand up for your country to protect your freedoms and the freedoms of the generations to come!

Vote for RON PAUL in 2012!   Check out what he stands for at www.ronpaul2012.com

You can't ignore FREEDOM anymore!!

This is far to serious to ignore.  A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for FREEDOM!

Been a VERY exciting week!

Hi readers,
I have been quite a busy girl lately, so that explains my lack of posting!  Here's the rundown of this past month...

On February 6th, me and most of the family headed out on a 12 hour roadtrip to TN (for another consultation with the Lyme doctor), leaving the farm in the hands of my dad who stayed home.  That was an event all in itself  :)

When we got back, the farm was, well, in somewhat of a mess.  But, everything is fine and back to normal now!

This past Monday, a neighbor drove up in my driveway and told me he had a stuck, breech kid and needed help getting it out.  So, we hopped in his truck bed and off we went to his barn!  The doe was having a lot of trouble, so I stuck my fingers in there.  The reason it was stuck wasn't because it was breech, but because it was folded in half.  Since my sister's hands are quite a bit smaller than mine, she was able to get in there and reposition the kid to where it would come out.  Everything went smoothly and the mama and kid are happy now!

That same day, Cloudy, our Saanen doe, went into early labor, having slight contractions and a filling udder filling and squatting.  Me and my sister got up a few times in the night to check on her...nothing.

Then, at about 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Cloudy had her first kid...a little, pitch black buckling!  I'd say about 30 minutes later, she had another black buckling.  Everything went smoothly and her placenta passed with ease.  The significance of this birth was this was my problem birther 2 years ago!  You can read the whole story here: http://7thundersranch.blogspot.com/2011/02/indy-kidded.html

Cloudy's two adorable bucklings

In addition to Cloudy having her kids, about two hours later, I came out into the barn to find a doeling of Frosty's (Frosty is one of our Nubian does) on the ground already, being licked off by Cloudy, LOL!  Before it was all over and done with, Frosty ended up with two beautiful doelings!

I'll just say that I've slept very well for the past week from being so tired!  It's been about a year since we've had bottle kids, so we're getting back into the swing of things  :)

The first doeling of Frosty's

This is what makes farm life fun and FULL of surprises!  In one way I look forward to kidding season because I like bottle feeding and playing with the kids...but on the other hand, I always get just a little bit tense before a goat birth as you never know if the goat will deliver perfectly or have a stuck kid or...the list could go on and on about what "could" go wrong at a birth.  Thankfully, we've never had a goat die, but we've had a few close calls.  It's not always glamorous life, but it's a blessing of a life to live.  I praise God for putting us here on this beautiful piece of property and allowing us to have a farm and be as self-sufficient as we can be right now.

Hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it  :)

Goodnight!

~Hannah

P.S.  I'm, Lord willing, going to a Ron Paul rally tomorrow to see him speak, so I'll try to post about that when I get back!  I went to a Ron Paul sign wave yesterday afternoon at the corner in our town, Tahlequah.  That was pretty fun and we got a lot of response!

Music Video: Ron Paul Will Lead The Way

This music video was produced by me, my family and some very good friends, to inform others about the simple message of Constitutional Freedom and how those freedoms are slipping away.

How does each candidate in this year's Presidential election stack up when compared to the document that was intended to secure those freedoms? Every one of them fails the Constitutional litmus test - except one.  Ron Paul.

If you want to continue living in the land of the free, being able to own a gun, raise a farm and do what you want in the privacy of your own home, I strongly encourage you to watch this video, share it with others and take action!  The very country our forefathers fought and died for has been infiltrated by Constitution-trampling, special interest-pleasing, inflation-creating politicians.  Freedom is eroding.  Wake up before it's too late.

I hope you will share this with others!

VOTE RON PAUL 2012!!

Thank you for watching!  Please post your comments and opinions here :)
