MCKEON: "JOBS REPORT ILLUSTRATES PRESIDENT'S FAILED ECONOMIC POLICIES".

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The following information was released by the office of California Rep. Buck McKeon:

Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the latest unemployment numbers, adding only 18,000 jobs and indicating a rise in the unemployment rate to 9.2%.

"The jobs numbers are an illustration of the need for overarching change in economic policies. The idea supported by Senate Democrats and the President for increased taxes and inflated bailouts does not work. Our government has maxed out its proverbial credit card, and it is time to rein in spending and not inflict tax increases on a weakened economy. Until we reach an agreement to cut spending and get our fiscal house in order, we will continue to see instability in the job market, production and manufacturing, business growth, and more.

WATCH VIDEO : Fact vs. Fiction on Jobs from President's Twitter Town Hall earlier this week:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g3IrQGa5TQ

"Deficit spending will never be America's answer to reaching economic prosperity. We must restore economic confidence for the private sector to invest and create jobs. It is not acceptable for the government to take money out of your pockets to pay for Washington's spending binge. And while Democrats insist on raising taxes and continuing to spend, Republicans in the House have offered alternative solutions that are pending Senate action. The new unemployment report is a reminder that there is still much work to be done."

NOTE: House Republicans have put forth numerous proposals to rein in spending, eliminate wasteful programs, and stop Washington's crushing mandates on the private sector. They presented a budget that addresses the direction our country is heading.

Click here for House Republican Plan for America's Job Creators:http://www.gop.gov/resources/library/documents/jobs/theplan.pdf

Compliments of Rep. Tom Price (GA-06): The following bills are meaningful job promoting measures that we passed in the House. They are now awaiting Senate approval:

H.R. 872, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act

H.R. 910, the Energy Tax Prevention Act

H.J.Res. 37, a Resolution of disapproval regarding the FCC's regulation of the Internet and broadband industry practices

H.R. 1249, the America Invents Act

H.R. 1230, Restarting American Offshore Leasing Now Act

H.R. 1229, Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act

H.R. 1231, Reversing President Obama's Offshore Moratorium Act

H.R. 2021, the Jobs and Energy Permitting Act

H.Con.Res. 34, a Resolution establishing the budget for the United States government for fiscal year 2012 and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2013 through 2021

Rapid Fire Marketing, Inc. Signs Board Resolution to Report Financials on a Quarterly Basis.(Financial report)

CARSON CITY, Nev., June 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid Fire Marketing, Inc. (Pink OTC: RFMK), announced today that The Company has passed a Board Resolution to begin filing quarterly financials in order to provide shareholders transparent, current information regarding the Company's business developments. As a non-reporting OTC company, RFMK is not required to file financial reports every quarter, but feels it is in the best interest of shareholders to so. Following the filing of the Company's June 30th financials, RFMK will continue to keep shareholders updated on a quarterly basis going forward - just as a fully reporting company would be required to do. Rapid Fire Marketing's increased business activity has resulted in increased shareholder activity and communications, which has led to the Company hiring a dedicated investor relations staff to answer questions and provide updates.

Bionic Cigs - As announced, the Company is in the process of replacing their merchant account to process credit cards over the internet. The Company has announced a 50% sale during the month of July on all E-Cigarettes and accessories, as a way of saying thanks to our customers for their loyalty and patience. The Company expects the cart system to be fully functioning within the next day or so. The Company continues to process phone orders and expand the Distributor Program for Bionic Cigs in the meantime. The Company has paid for a comprehensive internet marketing campaign to commence as soon as the cart system is back up. This sector is focused on global sales and brand awareness of Bionic Cigs to become the leader in the premium electronic cigarette business.

Medical Cannabis Management - Has entered into discussions to provide a cultivation superstore through our website, rather than offer just one growing system as announced. With medical cannabis cultivation, one size does not fit all. There are many different systems using hydroponics, aeroponics and traditional methods of cultivation that need to be tailored to the individual's needs. As a result, the Company is finalizing discussions to provide a complete superstore of growing products through the Company's website. This would include the Company's line of hemp oil and all supplies needed for the cultivation of medical cannabis. The Company is working as quickly as possible to bring these products and services to market, but must remain diligent in strictly following state and interstate laws. We appreciate our shareholder's understanding regarding the sensitive nature of this highly regulated industry we are part of.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, the Company may issue news releases that contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This material may contain statements about expected future events and/or financial results that are forward-looking in nature and subject to risks and uncertainties. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statement provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any amendments thereto. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, goals, assumptions, or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements." "Forward-looking statements" are based upon expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated.

TUESDAY, MAY 31: DAILY PAPER

Profile America -- Tuesday, May 31st. The nation's first daily newspaper, the Pennsylvania Evening Post, began publication this week in 1783, printed by Benjamin Towne in Philadelphia. Americans' hunger for news was such that by 1850, there were some 250 dailies. The number of newspapers peaked a hundred years ago, when there were 2,600 dailies published across the nation, with a circulation of over 24 million. Today, with increasing competition from the Internet, television, and radio, the number of daily newspapers in the U.S. has dropped to just over 1,400, with close to 49 million subscribers. About a half million more buy Sunday editions. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM

WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.

SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.

April Antitrust Bulletin.

Antitrust Agencies Release Annual Reports

On April 1, 2011, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Antitrust Division issued their annual reports. The FTC report describes the Commission's accomplishments during the previous year, including its litigation in the healthcare industry, revisions to the Horizontal Merger Guidelines issued jointly by the FTC and DOJ that provide more clarity and predictability for businesses, its report on privacy issues that proposes a framework for balancing consumer privacy with industry innovation, and its efforts to combat cross-border fraud by using the information-sharing provisions of U.S. SAFE WEB Act of 2006. The DOJ newsletter highlights the Antitrust Division's enforcement actions over the past year, including the filing of 60 criminal cases and obtaining fines in excess of $550 million against corporations and individuals, as well as its competition advocacy initiatives, including its activities relating to the agriculture industry.

Agencies Release Draft Guidance for ACOs

On March 31, 2011, the FTC and DOJ released a joint Proposed Statement of Antitrust Enforcement Policy governing accountable care organizations (ACOs) under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act contemplates that ACOs - networks of healthcare providers sharing responsibility for patients - would manage the healthcare needs of Medicare beneficiaries and, potentially, those of commercially insured patients.

The agencies' recent guidance addresses the antirust implications of competing providers collaborating within an ACO by, among other things, applying a rule of reason analysis to activity by qualifying ACOs, establishing an antitrust "safety zone" for ACOs with a combined share of 30% or less of each common service within the primary service area, and providing guidance concerning agency review of ACOs that fall outside the safety zone. Public comments on the proposed rules will be accepted through May 31, 2011. Additional information is available from McGuireWoods here and here.

SEC Charges Brokerage Executives for Failing to Protect Confidential Customer Information

On April 7, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged three former brokerage executives with failing to protect confidential information about their customers. According to the SEC, the executives improperly transferred customer records to another firm during the winding down of their company's business operations. The record transfer violated Regulation S-P of the Securities Exchange Act (the Safeguard Rule) because the customers were not notified in advance and given reasonable time to opt out. This marks the first time the SEC has assessed financial penalties against individuals charged solely with violations of Regulation S-P.

Ban on Online Distributor Sales Not Permitted in EU

An advocate general (adviser) to the European Court of Justice recently opined that an absolute ban on Internet sales by a distributor will usually be an automatic infringement of EU competition law. Though this opinion was given in the context of selective distribution agreements, the same principle would apply to such a restriction included in other types of vertical (supplier/purchaser) agreements, such as exclusive distribution agreements. Additional information is available in our April 2011 EU/UK Competition Law Newsletter.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Mobs attack home of Iranian opposition leader.(Front)

By Brian Murphy and Nasser Karimi

The Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran

Pro-government crowds swarmed outside the battered home of an Iranian opposition leader Friday after militiamen attacked with firebombs and beat a bodyguard unconscious in a brazen message of intimidation .

The assault on Mahdi Karroubi's five-story residence late Thursday - just hours before major state-backed rallies - displayed the growing tactics of trying to isolate and harass top opposition figures after relentless crackdowns appear to have driven protesters from the streets.

Karroubi, 72, a cleric and former parliament speaker, has been the most public protest leader in recent months - and has paid the price with repeated damage to his car and tense confrontations with backers of the Islamic state. But the latest backlash, described by a pro-reform website, was by far the most aggressive.

Mobs of militiamen - known as Basij - began breaking down the front door of Karroubi's residence before being driven back by warning shots from guards, according to the Sahamnews website, which supports Iran's pro-reform movement.

Karroubi was home at the time, but was not injured, his son Hossein said .

Media restrictions imposed by Iranian authorities blocked journalists from reaching the site and independently verifying the accounts. A video posted on the Internet by a group backing the opposition showed smashed windows and graffiti on the walls and door panel of the house .

Hossein Karroubi said dozens of hard-liners continued to damage the opposition leader's home Friday and that police were not responding to the scene. Some security cameras outside the building were torn down, he said.
