The Bill of Rights and Constitution of the United States are under attack! There are members of congress that want to amend laws that were put in place to govern and protect the rights of the people of the United States.

Earlier this week a poorly drafted proposal was turned down that would require bloggers that write about political issues to register as a lobbyist if their blog received more than 500 views a day. Section 220, would have required certain people engaged in “grassroots lobbying” to register with the government or face civil and criminal penalties, including up to 10 years in prison.

The S.1 Bill titled A bill to provide greater transparency in the legislative process was approved 96-2 with the amendment that removed section 220 from the bill. Senator Rob Bennett (Utah), the amendment’s sponsor, remarked “Let’s reaffirm that the zenith of the Bill of Rights is free speech, the right to petition your government for redress of your grievances, and the right to peacefully assemble, all of which are involved in grassroots lobbying and none of which should be criminalized,” the senator said in a floor speech introducing his proposal earlier this week.

The bill as it stood was noted as “massive” and section 220 seemed to be cleverly disguised within the large amount of words. However, Mark Fitzgibbons who runs the site http://www.grassrootsfreedom.com/ opposing the legislation that included section 220 of bill S. 1 along with a broad range of groups including the ACLU, the Free Speech Coalition, the Traditional Values Coalition and National Right To Life said it would hurt their own groups’ abilities to influence Congress and place unreasonable restrictions on Internet politicking.

Section 220 of bill S.1 was stripped from the bill and rightfully so. It was not properly drafted and the language of the proposal was unclear and confusing. Our First Amendment rights being threatened in this form is real and needs to be monitored for protection.

Another proposal that is being circulated in an attempt to create a bill would effect the Constitution of the United States in a big way. There are those who would like to amend the constitution to allow foreign-born person to run for president! This should raise concern with all of us.

Article ll Section 1 clause 5 of the United States Constitution bars foreign usurpers form becoming President. The Founders of our country forged Clause 5 of the first Section of Article II of the Constitution to protect America from a foreign-born President holding dual or treacherous alliances with other countries.

By now you are asking, who would want to change the Constitution so that a foreign-born person could be president? Why would they want any person that was not born in the United States to hold the highest position of our government, the President of the United States? But wait there’s more! Who is the person that these people would like to see President? His father was a SS nazi officer. He has publicly stated that he has dreamed of being a dictator and that he admires Hitler. This man is currently in office as Governor!

WHO? Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach; and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., proposed the amendment to the Constitution to allow immigrants to become president after being citizens for 20 years.

WHY? To amend the Constitution of the United States to allow foreign-born persons to become President. The people above would like to see the current Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jennifer Granholm, Governor of Michigan run for president. Both are foreign-born, both already hold an office.

This is not new news, Alex Jones has been talking about this and created a web site called Arnold Exposed, this site not only tells about the proposed amendment, it also shows many things about Schwarzenegger you would have never dreamed of. Alex Jones is a hard hitting investigative journalist that has made people stop and think watching his fact finding documentaries. Alex is probably best know for his 911 conspiracy theory and documentary, but he doesn’t stop there.

Take a look at the information that I have provided for you, please. Make your own decision by what you see, hear and learn in these videos and web pages. I am not trying to point to any particular party or platform in this post. It is my goal simply to inform my readers and let everyone make up their own mind by what they learn.

You have the right to know!

I will address them one at a time.

Did Billy Lane win $50,000.00 throwing a football at a college game?

Yes! But NOT the chopper builder Billy Lane. This billy Lane lives in Oklahoma, he is an aircraft mechanic, has a wife and two kids. This man won the 50 grand by throwing a football into a hole in a giant Dr. Pepper can during halftime at a “big 12 conference game”.

The deal was, the contestant, Billy Lane would receive $10,000.00 for each time he hit the hole in the Dr. Pepper can and had 10 tries at it. Mr. Lane hit the hole in the can 5 times winning $50,000.00. So, I guess the answer to this question would be yes and no.

Was there an interview with Billy lane on the Scott Ferrall show?

This question is a puzzle in itself. I found out about this alleged interview from a comment of a blog visitor and did a post about it here. Why would Billy Lane do such an interview? Moreover, why would he “tell all” to a sports commentator on Sirius Radio! Scott Ferrall only lead to this type of interview would be because he is on the Howard Stern show.

Any way, I have emailed the Scott Ferrall show and Sirius Radio about the interview and have received no response form either party. The Sirius Radio Billy Lane interview never happened to the best of my knowledge. If anyone can prove any different, your comment and proof is welcome.

Shannon Burke parks the Real Bike at Destination Daytona

The weather was great for a motorcycle ride on May 13th the date set for the WTKS 104.1 Real Ride with host Shannon Burke of the Shannon Burke Show.

Cindi and I got to the WTKS studios around 11:00, a little late considering the ride was to leave at 12:00. We started out early enough from Melbourne, but because this was our first trip to this location, I got lost.

Looking around, it looked like a pretty good turn out for a first time ride event. I was in a hurry to find out some information on the best way to cover the ride and get some good pictures, so I asked who was the event coordinator. I was told his name was Jeff Wagstaff and pointed in his direction. Talking to this jerk was a total waste of time for photo journalist trying to map out an event. This guy tells me he is going to have Interstate 4 closed down and there was no way I would be able to get my car next to the group to take pictures. In complete disbelief in the way this guy treats the media and that he would be able to accomplish shutting down an interstate, I went to talk to one of the FHP officers to get some ideas. It was suggested that I leave ahead of the group and shoot from a top one of the Interstate 4 overpass bridges. Sounded good to me. The only option I had since this so called event coordinator had the power to shut down a US Highway. Oh yea, and when I questioned Wagstaff about it, he says “watch me”.

Real Ride on Interstate 4

The Real Ride heads up I4

As you can see by this picture, Mr. Wagstaff was not as almighty as he might wish. The Interstate was not closed, instead the real ride was escorted to their destination by the Florida Highway Patrol. Here you can see the leaders of the pack riding behind the escort of the FHP and the Destination Daytona trucks. Heading up the ride was, of course, talk show host Shannon Burke on the Real Radio chopper with Dirty Jim of the Monsters of the Morning show and his wife next to him. Dirty Jim was riding Shannon’s custom screaming eagle Harley-Davidson, so I am sure that he wanted to keep a close eye on him. Especially since a few days previous the Monsters had an unplanned burnout contest between Drunky the Bear on the Real Radio Chopper and Dirty Jim on Shannon’s bike. The skit was suddenly called to an end after Drunky dropped the chopper in the lot of JZ Riders in Sanford, Florida.

Following the leaders included Bruce Rossmeyer owner of Daytona Harley-Davidson and Destination Daytona, Daniel Dennis, SBK ( Soul Brother Kevin), Drunky the Bear and other radio show personalities which I show below.

After taking a few shots from the Interstate overpass, We tried to take a back road to catch up with the ride. Unfortunately, we caught them just as the final few bikes were pulling into Destination Daytona to park for the festivities.

I don’t get to listen to the radio as much as I would like to. It is too distracting while I am working at my keyboard. Usually, the only real time I do get the opportunity to listen is when I am in route somewhere. When I do get the chance to listen, 90% of the time I listen to talk radio and usually that is on WTKS Real Radio 104.1 out of Orlando. The music stations in my area are not worth listening to and I can catch up on some of the news, current events and opinions by listening to talk shows. Out of all the shows on 104.1, I like the Shannon Burke Show the best, followed by The Phillips Phile and finally The Monsters of the Morning.

 Well, the shows are not in that order, that is the order I favor them. So, here are a few shots of the people of Real Radio 104.1 and their shows.

Shannon Burke

Shannon Burke Host of the Shannon Burke Show

Shannon’s opinions are not always something that I agree with, but if they were, it would not make his show as interesting. One thing about him, when he does have an opinion on something, you will have a difficult time changing it, if ever. Shannon rides and incorporates a lot of topics of biker lifestyle into his show. That’s a big plus! You can catch the Shannon Burke show from 11:00 til 3:00.

SBK Soul Brother Kevin

SBK Soul Brother Kevin Co-Host of the Shannon Burke show

Kevin Co-Host of the Shannon Burke show

Soul Brother Kevin aka SBK got his name when he started as intern with the Monsters of the Morning, which at that time was at midday. Confused yet? SBK quickly gained popularity and moved on to be with Shannon. Kevin adds an opposing view to topics that come up on the show and hosts his own show SBK Live on Saturday nights at 7:00 til 10:00        

Daniel Dennis

Daniel Dennis Producer of Monsters of the Morning

Daniel seems to be a cool cat, although I have never met him personally. He adds to the show and is what I would call an asset to the atmosphere. Daniel has a great collection of tee shirts.

Black Bean from the Monsters of the Morning show

Blackbean Co-Producer of Monsters of the Morning

Blackbean or Black Bean? I am not real sure how his show name is spelled. Together with Daniel as a team have pulled off some of the funniest and best radio skits to happen. The way these two guys put a skit together you can almost see it even though it is on radio.

Drunky the Bear

Drunky the Bear from the Monsters

I am not real sure what Drunky’s job description for the show is. I know he will go out of his way for a beer and to make people laugh.

Bubba Wilson

Bubba “whoopass” Wilson music director for the Monsters

Bubba writes most of the music for the Monsters who not only have the radio show, but a band as well. Bubba also does a segment called correct me if I’m wrong that is a satire ( I think ) on redneck philosophy.

Sexy Savannah

Sexy Savannah (no longer with 104.1)

Savannah was with the Monsters of the Morning when I first started listening to Real Radio. In my opinion ( I am entitled to it, this is my Blog! ) back then, the Monsters show and the band was at their best. Sexy Savannah had a segment called in the mind of Savannah that wondered aimlessly and pointlessly, but was humorous. She had a falling out with the show host Russ Rollins and moved on to be on the Shannon Burke Show. That did not last long and now she is on another O Town station. Savannah is pictured above with my wife Cindi Odom.

Dirty Jim

Dirty Jim with the Monsters

Dirty Jim adds to the Monsters show with an opposite point of view on just about everything. His best trait is he knows how to disagree, even when it is pointless and usually is. Notice in the picture that he his holding in his hands a can of beans. The very same can that Blackbean and Sexy Savannah are holding. The story? OK, if you insist, I will tell you.
My wife Cindi Odom and I ( Mike Odom ) are photographers. This you probably already are aware of, if you have read the rest of my Blog. This can was used as a prop for a web site called Beans Around The World, you can read more about the travels of the can of S & W Blackbeans at the site. The basic idea is that this can of beans travels around the world visiting famous places, events and people. We decided to get in on the travels by carrying the can of beans up to Daytona Beach for Bike Week to photograph it at the world famous event. You can see the story and pictures of what we did with the can of beans at On the Road to Daytona Bike Week 2005.

Because we had previously photographed some of the Monsters holding the can of blackbeans, except at the time, Dirty Jim. Cindi tried to get a little bit of extra publicity by calling in to the Monsters radio talk show. Now Cindi has a small speech problem that comes out more when she is excited. So any way Dirty Jim being the kind of person that he is and I have previously described, jumped right on Cindi implying that she had been drinking. The other members of the show seemed to detect that it was a speech problem, but Jim insisted on it being a drinking problem. Months later and after the call was forgotten during the Real Ride we had the opportunity, because we had the beans with us, to photograph Dirty Jim holding the can of beans. Cindi took the can to him and asked him to let us take a picture. He allowed the picture and it appears that in real life, maybe he is not so bad after all. I think watching his face as he met Cindi and heard her voice that he recalled the morning of the call in.
