Here's a good one:
President Hugo Chavez dared the U.S. on Friday to put Venezuela on a list of countries accused of supporting terrorism
THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO RUN THIS VIDEO OVER AND OVER UNTIL ALL OF US FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
The most despicable acts of deceit ongoing in this country are the lies and hypocrisy perpetrated by the democrats seen in this short video.
They are so blinded by their hate for our President and the necessities of their party they have betrayed their own consciences.
This should be seen by everyone in America! Please pass it on.
Here's a video compilation you definitely won't see on main stream media.
The next time you hear the expression 'Bush's war' remember this note that there's no 'opinion', just direct video which deserves wide distribution.

Here's a movie unlike any other in recent memory. It's called "Border", and it's the one movie the open-bordered leadership in our nation doesn''t want you--or anyone else to see.
Why?
Because it tells a true story. It's not Hollywood fiction with a happy ending. "Borders" is a raw firsthand video record of one man's journey to our borders and the unspeakable horrors that he found.
"Get off the sofa and do something about it!"
Those were the words that started the life-changing journey for Southern California resident Chris Burgard. Tired of hearing his complaints about the immigration crisis, Chris's wife challenged him to take action.
He did, and the result of his year-long journey is "Border".
Here you'll discover the true level of lawlessness at our borders-- the rape trees, and the death. You'll experience the frustration being felt by ranchers, farmers and citizens who are desperately trying to hang on to their land being overrun by vicious gangs and drug smugglers.
And most shocking of all, you'll witness drug mules being escorted across the border into the U.S. by Mexican military!
Our leaders don't want you to know how serious this situation has become. They prefer we all remain ignorant to the real truth--the truth that Chris Burgard captured on film--the truth that I guarantee will make your blood boil!

| ISRA Alert: VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION TO TWO GUN CONTROL BILLS |
| A pair of gun control bills passed out of the Executive Committee today: The first bill, HB4357, would prohibit the ownership most of the rifles, shotguns and pistols now on the market. The second bill, HB4393 would prohibit the purchasing of more than one firearm per month. HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO TO SAVE YOUR GUNS

I just signed a petition demanding our leaders in Congress to build the
border fence--as it was promised to us. I'm asking you to join me in
signing.
Click here:
http://www.grassfire.org/242/petition.asp?PID=15635887&NID=1
After passing the Secure Fence Act last year, certain members of
Congress "gutted" the legislation and along with it any hope that a real
fence would be constructed.
A double-layered fence was promised to the American people, and I am
holding leadership accountable and demanding they make good on their
promise.
Two bills are currently in Congress that seek to reform and reinstate
the Secure Fence Act. I support these bills, and urge you to do so as
well by clicking here:

Thanks for joining with me.

Here are five semi-counterintuitive reasons why McCain will be giving the Big Speech in Minneapolis on Labor Day:1. While conservatives were off flirting with every Rudy, Fred, and Huck, the Nice Guy, Mitt, waited patiently, holding a bouquet. By the time we realized the Flash in the Pan Guys weren't the ones to bring home to mom, it was too late for the Nice Guy. And the Bad Boy already had the ticket to the Big Dance.

Here is an update on the "earmarks" issue
-Bob
From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance
2/22/2008Dear Robert,
I want to thank you for adding your name to our latest petition calling for an end to earmarking in Congress.
My IT staff reports that citizens are signing the petition at a rate of nearly 250 signatures per hour!
Robert, without question this is a critical issue for the American people. That's why I wanted to alert all those who have signed the petition to a program that is airing on PBS tonight (February 22) focusing on "earmarking."
Bill Moyers Journal and the PBS series Expose, profiles Seattle Times reporters as they "follow the money," the flow of billions of dollars siphoned from DC to fund "pet projects."
When: Friday, February 22, 2008
Time: 9 p.m. on PBS (check your local listings)Click here to check the times in your area:

++Action Item--Alert your friends
Regardless of political affiliation, earmarks affect us all. That's why we are urging members of our team to forward this important update to 25-30 friends and family. Encourage them to watch the Moyers special and sign our petition to end earmarks by clicking here:
http://www.grassfire.org/96/petition.asp?PID=15588536
Earmarks have become a symbol of the culture of the widespread corruption on Capitol Hill, and as citizens, we must work diligently to bring a close to this era of dishonesty.
Thanks again for taking quick action with us. Help us spread the word by forwarding this message today.
Steve
P.S: Grassfire has learned that following the broadcast, Seattle Times reporters will answer questions from viewers at the Moyers Blog at:

Newt Gingrich writes:
It's hard to think of an action that has put as many lives at risk as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D.-Calif.) declaration of unilateral disarmament in the War on Terror last week.The rest (and the comments) are well worth reading. Another example of the damage done to our security by the "friendly" democrats...

Ann Coulter writes:
How did we end up with the mainstream media picking the Republican candidate for president?
It isn't the early primaries, it isn't that we allow Democrats to vote in many of our primaries, and it isn't that the voters are stupid. All of that was true or partially true in 1980 -- and we still got Ronald Reagan.
We didn't get Ronald Reagan this year not just because there's never going to be another Reagan. We will never again get another Reagan because Reagan wouldn't run for office under the current campaign-finance regime.
I have just signed a national grassroots-led petition to end government
earmarks, and I'm inviting you to join with me and thousands of other
Americans who want this corrupt system brought to an end.

I just signed a Citizen Letter of Protest exposing and confronting the efforts of the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU), and others to intimidate and silence Christians during this election cycle.
Pastors have already received "anonymous" threatening letters warning of possible jail time if they encourage church members to participate in the election. Groups like AU are sending out misleading mailings that serve to intimidate churches into silence.
