President Obama: No Amnesty for Illegal Aliens!

I have just signed a national grassroots-led petition opposing Obama's coming amnesty push. If allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged, Obama will throw open the door for widespread amnesty--forcing you and I to pay for their benefits--benefits once reserved only for citizens and legal aliens!

Obama has promised the Hispanic community that he will make comprehensive immigration reform a frontline issue this year! Help stand against this coming invasion by adding your name to Grassfire's national petition opposing Obama's open border, amnesty agenda.

I GIVE MY LIFE

By Tena Bastian

www.tenabastian.com

 

I give my life for your life

I give my strength for your day today

My family goes on without me

So that yours can stand up and say...

I am proud to be an American

There is no other country where I would ever be

The sons and daughters, the sisters and brothers

Our sacrifice comes down to me

The soldier who fought for freedom

and the mother who sits alone

Holding in her hand, the letter

That says I did not make it home

 

I give my life for your life

I do this without regret

I only ask one thing of you

That none of you will ever forget

How priceless is this freedom

To young and old, rich and poor

That all of you live your life to it's fullest

And remember what were fighting for

Not just today but every day

Pause for a moment and bow your head

For those who stepped up and offered their service

And for the wounded and the dead.

 

I give my life for your life

As does every soldier in every war

On American soil or in a distant land

If I can ask just one thing more...

May God bless the wounded soldier

May he bless and keep those close to him now

May he watch over the ones who stand at arms

And help them find their way home somehow

May you keep them in your thoughts and prayers

May the fighting someday cease

Because I give my life for your life

But I also pray for peace.

 

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. Please keep this going by forwarding it today to everyone in your life. In honor of those who fight for freedom and pray for peace, of their families who make the ultimate sacrifice, THANK YOU!

I'm a card-carrying Right-wing Extremist!

I am sick and tired of the attacks coming from the new congressional and executive leadership against law abiding citizens simply because of their faith or the values they hold. The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts to label you and me as "extremists" and "terror threats" are outrageous. 

I just requested a free "Right-wing Extremist" wallet card as my way of turning the tables on misguided DHS attempts to marginalize us and label us as extremists. If it is "extreme" to hold pro-life, pro-veteran, or pro-Second Amendment views, then I wear the term "Right-wing Extremist" as a badge of honor! If you would like to receive a free card, go here:

Pastor-silencing bill in Congress

Perhaps you heard about the effort in Congress to pass so-called "Hate Crimes" legislation that is a stepping-stone to regulating the speech of people who support family values.

I just signed a petition to stop such "hate speech" laws from going into effect. Congress is getting ready to vote on this issue and I understand this bill could be passed quickly unless citizens rise up. 

Please join me. Go here to sign:

Napolitano must go!

I just signed a petition demanding the resignation or removal of DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security issued a report that profiled conservatives as a terror threat. The report even singled out pro-life citizens and those who oppose illegal immigration, in addition to members of the military.

Please join with me in signing by going here:

The Queen from California

Newt Gingrich, a Republican, served in the House from Georgia from 1978 and as House Minority Whip in 1989. He was Speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999. During that time he never made use of military air craft.


Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, current Speaker of the House.

The Pentagon provides the House speaker with an Air Force plane large enough to accommodate her staff, family, supporters, and members of the California delegation when she travels around the country. But, Pelosi wants routine access to a larger plane. It includes 42 business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an entertainment center, a private bed, state-of-the-art communications system, and a crew of 16. Pelosi wanted "carte blanche for an aircraft any time," including weekend trips home to San Francisco. Pretty nice but very expensive perk! Her Air Force C-32 costs approximately $15,000 an hour or approximately $300,000 per trip home.


And she has the guts to confront the Big Three CEOs for flying their corporate jets to Washington !

YOU WOULD THINK, SHE ALONG WITH A HUSBAND WORTH AN ESTIMATED BILLION DOLLARS, WOULD LEASE OR BUY AND FLY THEIR OWN PLANE, OR FLY FIRST CLASS ON COMMERCIAL AIRLINES LIKE OTHER RICH PEOPLE.

NANCY PELOSI FACTS:

• Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home District includes San Francisco ...
• Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home district.


• Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a Major contributor to Pelosi.


• Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa Employing 75% of the Samoan workforce.


• Paul Pelosi, Nancy 's husband, owns $17 million Dollars of Star-Kist stock.


• In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage.


• Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 Million dollars for an 'economic development credit in American Samoa'.

And Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "CORRUPT" ? ?

EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD SEE THIS!

Obama's Katrina

Obama's Katrina - by Ted Nugent:

"America is being punked. That is the only way I can describe the clear cut case of self-inflicted grief and suffering at the hands of the Obama Masters of Ineptitude running the three-ring circus we call the American political insanity these days. Has logic been outlawed, or just temporarily suspended? Somebody wake me from this heartbreaking dream, quick."

Maybe we can get Nugent to run in 2012 (or sooner, if possible)?

Starbucks, Costco Throw You "Under The Bus" - Card Check Forced Unionism Bill

From the National Right to Work Committee:

This week, the CEOs of Costco, Whole Foods, and Starbucks plan to throw you and their employees "under the bus" to appease Big Labor, offering a so-called "compromise version" of Big Labor's top legislative priority: the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill.

...

That's why it's vital you sign this petition to the CEOs of these three misguided companies -- TODAY. I'll make sure it is delivered directly to their office and that the press knows.

As you know, the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill denies workers a secret ballot when voting on whether or not they want to be part of a union. A firestorm of union intimidation would rain down upon literally millions of employees who would be shoved into union collectives and forced to pay union dues.

I've signed the petition. Have you?

ISRA Alert - Anti-gun radio debate

From the ISRA:

ANTI-GUN RADIO DEBATE – MARCH 26TH

Anti-gun Chicago talk show host Milt Rosenberg will be hosting a radio debate on the repeal of the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution on WGN Radio, AM 720, on Thursday March 26th.

Defending our Constitution will be Bob Levy, Chairman of the Cato Institute.

The debater who will be attacking our Constitution has not been named as of yet.

HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO TO DEFEND YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS:

1. Mark your calendar to listen to WGN Radio, AM 720, on Thursday, March 26, 2009 beginning at 9 PM. If you cannot receive WGN in your area, you can listen to the program live on the Internet at www.wgnradio.com
2. No matter where you live, please be sure to call the radio station's call in line at (312) 591-7200 and ask to speak your opinion on what has been said. It would be best if you voice support for the 2nd Amendment and Mr. Levy's statements rather than personally attacking whoever the antigunner is.
3. Please pass this alert on to all your gun-owning, freedom-loving friends, your gun club, and anyone else you know who would be interested in calling in to the radio show to defend our Constitution.
4. Please post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you subscribe.

I'll be listening and calling. What about you?

Stop The Spending!

From grassfire.net:

Robert,

We just got off the phone with some of our contacts on the Hill
and it is now clear that President Obama's budget -- complete
with over $1.6 trillion in new taxes including the new global
warming tax -- is now on a fast track in Congress.

The Senate could vote on approving the Obama budget as early as
next week with the House to follow shortly thereafter. Our
contacts tell us Congress could pass this budget before the
Easter break (which begins in less than three weeks).

+ + Immediate action needed

Already, over 130,000 citizens have joined you in signing our
"Stop The Spending" petition. Thank you so much for taking a stand!

I want to deliver at least 200,000 to the Senate before next week's
expected vote, and I need your help.

Please forward this message to your friends and ask them
to sign our "Stop The Spending" petition so that they can
be included in next week's petition delivery. Your friends
can go here to sign:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=17168&PID=19586979

The Union Dues Extortion and Coercion Act (aka "Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA)" or “Card Check”)

The liberals are at it again. From American Solutions:

The top legislative priority for organized labor and their allies in Congress is the so-called Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), also known as “Card Check.” EFCA is an enormous power grab by big labor bosses that would strip workers of their right to decide by private ballot whether to join a union, and their right to freely negotiate their contract. Instead of a secret ballot election, workers would be asked to publicly sign cards in front of union organizers, potentially subjecting them to harassment or intimidation.

This will also cause a loss of an additional 600,000 jobs in the first year alone. Dan Kotman writes:

According to a recent study by noted economist Dr. Anne Layne-Farrar, An Empirical Assessment of the Employee Free Choice Act: The Economic Implications, every three workers coerced into joining a union under Card Check, one job will be eliminated.

We need to prevent this bill from ever getting to the president's desk. B. Hussein Obama has already promised to pass 'Card Check'. Here's what he promised labor bosses yesterday:

President Barack Obama told AFL-CIO union leaders Tuesday in a videotaped address that the controversial Employee Free Choice Act will pass, signaling his full backing for legislation that makes union organizing easier.

"We will pass the Employee Free Choice Act," President Obama told more than 100 top labor officials in a closed-door meeting at the labor federation's winter gathering in Miami, according to people at the meeting.

The bill would make it easier for unions to recruit workers because it would let them join unions simply by signing cards rather than through secret-ballot elections in which companies can campaign against the union.

Do your part to stop this by signing the petition against the "The Union Dues Extortion and Coercion Act" (aka "Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA)" or “Card Check”).

Obama's payback for Planned Parenthood?

I just learned that Kathleen Sebelius -- President Obama's
nominee for HHS Secretary -- has close ties to Planned
Parenthood and also supported the notorious late-term abortionist,
George Tiller. I signed a petition strongly opposing this
nomination. Please go here to find out more and join me:

The Cal Ripken President

A must read from Ann Coulter: The Cal Ripken President

Here are some notable quotes:

"As with the Clintons, Obama so earnestly believes in public school education that he sends his girls to ... an expensive private school. He demands that taxpayers support the very public schoolteachers he won't trust with his own children."

"Federal meddling in education has been an abject failure, so the Democrats' plan is to keep doing more of the same. If only there were some aphorism about people who fail to learn from history -- oh, well!"

The big bail out

Young Chuck in Montana bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day he drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died." Chuck replied, "Well, then just give me my money back." The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Chuck said, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse." The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?" Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off." The farmer said, "'You can't raffle off a dead horse!" Chuck said, "Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?" Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998." The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?" Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Chuck grew up and works now for the government. He was the one who figured out how to "bail us out".

500 Million Americans a month to lose their jobs...

Straight from the Speaker's mouth:


Since there are only 305,831,640 people in the US (http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html), how can we possibly lose 500,000,000 jobs a month? Since she appears to have said this on our before January 24th, 2009, doesn't that mean that as of February 11th, 2009 all of the jobs are gone now? What are we to do?

Change is good?

CPSIA - The De-stimulus program

It appears that I'm little late in finding out about this one. It appears that back in August 2008 Congress passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. This was sponsored by Illinois Congressman Bobby Rush and quickly signed into law by President Bush.

As is more and more typical of our government representatives, their good intentions often produce bad consequences. This is a prime example of good intentions gone wrong. It also a prime example of what happens when you vote on a bill that you didn't read. And, this one is only 63 pages long (http://www.cpsc.gov/cpsia.pdf)!

As of yesterday (2/10/2009), what will now be know as National Bankruptcy Day, many children's products are now illegal. Common examples include ATVs, bicycles, and motorcycles. But it certainly doesn't stop there. Everything made for children is affected. New mandatory testing requirements (don't let 'em fool on this one) make even the resale of virtually all children's products nearly impossible.

I can't imagine a better way of de-stimulating the economy... Then again, there's that $1,000,000,000,000 "stimulus" plan that promises us a new job for every $225,000 that we spend on it. Now that's deal!

Back to the issue at hand. We need to take a stand and make the CPSIA go away. I signed at least three petitions today (http://www.tomself.com/), (http://www.petitiononline.com/BMXCPSC/petition.html), (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/economicimpactsofCPSIA/index.html). Tomorrow I call the id10ts that call themselves my representatives...
