&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 17, 2009 - 10:36 ET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table style=&quot;text-align: right; width: 220px&quot;&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;&gt;
&lt;table style=&quot;text-align: right; width: 100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: left; background-color: #4a6c91&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; color: #ffffff; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related 
Links&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: left; background-color: #e2e2e2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thepetitionsite.com/8/an-open-letter-to-our-nations-leadership&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial&quot;&gt;Sign the petition: An open letter to our nation&amp;#39;s 
leadership&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;GLENN: 
I got a letter from a woman in Arizona. She writes an open letter to our 
nation&amp;#39;s leadership: I&amp;#39;m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat 
all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican 
because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to 
pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party 
represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no 
longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my 
views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. 
Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and 
that you&amp;#39;re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please 
stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would 
horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of 
nut job am I? Will you please tell me? 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation: 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and 
secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the 
trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, 
no resolution. P.S., I&amp;#39;m not a racist. This isn&amp;#39;t to be confused with legal 
immigration. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table style=&quot;text-align: right; width: 100px&quot;&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #e2e2e2&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.glennbeck.com/content/books/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;365&quot; src=&quot;http://www.glennbeck.com/images/news/2009/05/061609booka.jpg&quot; vspace=&quot;6&quot; width=&quot;235&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.glennbeck.com/content/books/&quot;&gt;Glenn Beck&amp;#39;s Common Sense&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;Now available in book stores nationwide...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied 
to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% 
repealed. Freeze, repeal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped 
immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the 
process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it. 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more 
to say. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive 
decision. Don&amp;#39;t you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go 
on break. Slow down! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully 
restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your 
own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why 
don&amp;#39;t you start there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 
census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees 
contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the 
funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. 
I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don&amp;#39;t 
trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and 
get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks 
like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political 
buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. 
I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me 
jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got 
a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what 
do you have against shareholders making a profit? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor 
person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, 
where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local 
resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If 
there are hard times ahead, we&amp;#39;ll be better off just getting into it and letting 
the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We 
will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us 
the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed 
us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about 
it? Let&amp;#39;s have it. Let&amp;#39;s say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight 
honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me 
with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking 
around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be 
a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let&amp;#39;s just slow down and get some input 
from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. 
Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a 
community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am 
a parent and a grandparent. I work. I&amp;#39;m busy. I&amp;#39;m busy. I am busy, and I am 
tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of 
government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a 
little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our 
personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible 
contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while 
living in the home of the free and land of the brave. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and 
balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far 
off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to 
unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without 
knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I 
have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your 
arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single 
decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I 
should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. 
We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am 
sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the 
recent spending.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know 
that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your 
current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want 
to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. 
We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to 
straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our 
vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had 
and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. 
Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no 
kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come 
up with that word? We don&amp;#39;t want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like 
we&amp;#39;re morons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want 
done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for 
us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will 
be heard and we will be represented. You think we&amp;#39;re so busy with our lives that 
we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who 
quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the 
grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic 
spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have 
pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one 
of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike 
you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They 
will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled 
vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the 
representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn&amp;#39;t ask 
for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but 
we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who 
will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the 
ashes that you have made of our constitution. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don&amp;#39;t 
care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing 
to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. 
We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your 
power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused 
it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. 
You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of 
your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your 
party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political 
parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired 
and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, 
please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. 
Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded 
out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if 
need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? 
What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;A Thank you to President 
Obama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;Mr. President, 
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;You have given hope to the citizens of the United 
States as well as the world.&amp;#160; With this historic election, you have shown that 
in America anything can be possible.&amp;#160; Now that we have moved past the first 100 
days, we can get a picture of your vision for our Country.&amp;#160; We can see what you 
promised us in your message of change.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;Thank you for putting Immigration Reform on your to-do 
list.&amp;#160; I understand with the current economical situation that securing our 
boarders and deporting Illegal Immigrants cannot be at the forefront of items to 
take care of, especially with unemployment increasing.&amp;#160; Your proposed stance of 
bringing illegal immigrants into the legal system by recognizing that they 
violated the law, and imposing fines and other penalties to fit the offense will 
surely deter any future lawlessness.&amp;#160; Besides with GM moving $1 billion in their 
government financial aid to their Brazil operations, maybe the illegal 
immigrants will follow.&amp;#160; I am sure that when the time comes you will again call 
on advisors to break out in to focus groups and come up with 
solutions.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;Thank you for your work on the job market.&amp;#160; You said 
that the recovery plan will save or create about 3.5 million jobs.&amp;#160; But I must 
inquire, how do you quantify which jobs were not lost?&amp;#160; The National 
Unemployment Rate is now about 8.9%.&amp;#160; 539,000 jobs were lost in April while 
663,000 jobs were lost in March.&amp;#160; But I must inquire, are you holding the big 
savings for November Sweeps?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;Thank you for bringing a new light 
of focus on the National Debt.&amp;#160; On the campaign trail,&amp;#160; you said that President 
Bush was practicing &amp;quot;reckless&amp;quot; economic policies that are &amp;quot;mortgaging our 
children&amp;#39;s future on a mountain of debt.&amp;quot;&amp;#160; Well, the deficit has changed.&amp;#160; It 
Increased.&amp;#160; In 2004, President Bush set a budget with a record $521 billion 
dollars in deficit.&amp;#160; Your estimates for the 2010 budget call for nearly $1.2 
trillion in new deficit.&amp;#160; Which will actually be down from the CBO estimates of 
$1.8 trillion gap this year.&amp;#160; Now, that&amp;#39;s change we can not only believe in but 
that we can also see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;Thank you for working on foreign 
relations.&amp;#160; You sought to bring a changed world view of United States.&amp;#160; You have 
reached out to&amp;#160;&lt;span class=&quot;191021519-28052009&quot;&gt;n&lt;/span&gt;ations that we have not 
been on the best of terms with to&lt;span class=&quot;191021519-28052009&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;improve&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;their perception of us.&amp;#160; This has 
apparently already begun to work.&amp;#160; Now countries like Iran and North Korea are 
no longer concerned about US involvement in their actions.&amp;#160; In fact, Iran is 
sending warships in to international waters, while North Korea is testing their 
long range missiles.&amp;#160; Without you, this would not have been 
possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;Thank you for acting swiftly 
in your judgment.&amp;#160; Jimmy Carter took a little over three years to create the 
image of the U.S. as a confused and soft power, you have managed to do that in 
your first 100 days.&amp;#160; I understand the necessity to act urgently on important 
matters, a five day waiting period should only apply to handguns not to laws.&amp;#160; 
After all, I am sure that you thoroughly review every bill and remove all pork 
before signing them.&amp;#160; I am also sure that the American people can feel safe from 
special interest groups.&amp;#160; On Jan. 1 there were 4,611 political action 
committees, 9 percent more than the 4,234 PACs a year earlier.&amp;#160; But with your 
promise o&lt;span class=&quot;191021519-28052009&quot;&gt;f&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;reducing the role of lobbyists, 
we can rest assured that they will not be in the Halls of Congress trying to 
influence decisions since your lifting the ban on former registered lobbyists 
working in the administration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;However with your previous 
experience in community affairs, I am certain that we are headed in a 
direction.&amp;#160; I look forward to long lines at the gas pump, doctors office, and 
unemployment office.&amp;#160; I can tell my grandchildren about how there were 50 States 
until the &amp;quot;Great Unifier&amp;quot; came along and they separated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;Thank you for bringing Change, 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small; font-family: arial&quot;&gt;Jason Sanborn 
&lt;br /&gt;From the soon to be former State of Texas &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

every generation, at war and at peace, America has asked her citizens

terrain or political climate, America’s Warriors have met every
challenge and made every sacrifice that was asked of them in order to
defeat our enemies and protect our way of life. The Warrior Legacy

and stand firm in defense of the heritage of those brave souls who have
preserved and protected our sovereignty throughout our great nation’s
history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They have asked for nothing and have given us everything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;***************************&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A
new Veterans organization is just beginning - yesterday was the first
day of the roll out. it is open to all Americans - Veterans and
Non-Veterans. It has a mission which the Executive Director, David
Bellavia, states most eloquently on the home page at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://warriorlegacyfoundation.org/&quot;&gt;Warrior Legacy Foundation &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An organization that begins with the premise that &amp;quot;Veterans make the community they live in a better place.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps you will consider joining us.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warriorlegacyfoundation.org/general/register_start.asp?ref=B7C60AF9-4DD0-4305-A333-6B4E39A6CAAC&quot;&gt;Registration is free at the web site - click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

                      	 Obama&amp;#39;s 100 Days of Disappointment, Double Talk and Deception

	                       

                          &lt;/h3&gt;

                        

						 

						

						

						  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;He has squandered his chance to be a great president with attack on the right and knee jerk obedience to the left!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wednesday,
April 29 marks the end of Obama&amp;#39;s first 100 days in office. All week
long we can expect glowing tributes from the &amp;quot;news&amp;quot; media similar to
the cheerleading we saw from them during the campaign. They seem to
focus more on what Michelle Obama is wearing than what her husband is
doing or more importantly, what he is NOT doing to address key problems
in American economic, domestic and foreign policy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To provide
some counterpoint to media cheerleading the following list, in rough
chronological order, reminds us all of how Obama has failed to live up
to his campaign promises to be post partisan president who ushers in an
era of cooperation and unity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;The first sign that things might get ugly during the Obama years came on Inauguration Day when the crowd, &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/obamas-historic-inaugural-draws-less.html&quot;&gt;well below &lt;/a&gt;the reported two million people or the five million forecast, turned the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/obamas-green-inaugural-turns-national.html&quot;&gt;National Mall into a trash dump&lt;/a&gt;. So much for a &amp;quot;green&amp;quot; Inaugural. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama
supporters on the Capitol Grounds for the Inaugural boo President Bush
demonstrating the level of class we have seen from many of them these
first one hundred days.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Minutes after taking office Obama&amp;#39;s official White House web site was up and running with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/official-obama-white-house-web-page.html&quot;&gt;first official attacks &lt;/a&gt;on
the Bush Administration which had showed such graciousness to the
Obama&amp;#39;s during the transition. It was a clear signal that Obama
intended to use Bush for a scapegoat and that he had no intention of
ending partisan warfare.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s first major act was the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-gives-terrorists-license-to-kill.html&quot;&gt;signing of an executive order &lt;/a&gt;to
close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay within one
year. The order was all show as it lacked any specifics on what to do
with the terrorists many of whom have been described as &amp;quot;the worst of
the worst&amp;quot; sort of killers. This order was an early signal that Obama
intends to continue running a campaign against the Bush Administration
rather than governing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama also demanded that the military
tribunals of terrorists be put on hold until he could study the issue.
This judicial process had already been reviewed by Congress and the
Supreme Court over a number of years and had finally reached the stage
where trials could begin. Much of that work has stopped.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/01/23/obama-lift-ban-overseas-abortion-funding/&quot;&gt;overturned&lt;/a&gt;
Bush era prohibitions on using federal money to fund abortions overseas
and opened the door to harvesting embryos for stem cell research.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-many-votes-can-12-trillion-buy.html&quot;&gt;How many votes can $1.2 TRILLION in federal spending buy?&lt;/a&gt;
Obama and the Democrats introduce an economic stimulus bill that
focuses more on satisfying a 40 year wish list of liberal demands than
any sort of recognizable bipartisan effort to address pressing economic
needs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Making it clear that he intends to dump his campaign promise to create a post partisan era, Obama tells Congressman Eric Cantor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nypost.com/seven/01232009/news/politics/prez_zings_gop_foe_in_a_timulating_talk_151572.htm&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;I won... I will trump you on that&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; when Cantor requests a more bipartisan solution to the stimulus bill.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In the same meeting Obama signals the first attack on Rush Limbaugh telling Congressmen: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nypost.com/seven/01232009/news/politics/prez_zings_gop_foe_in_a_timulating_talk_151572.htm&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;You can&amp;#39;t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.&amp;quot; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After
campaigning against using fear as a political tool Obama unleashes the
biggest scaremongering campaign ever to persuade Americans to accept
his big government boondoggle masquerading as an economic recovery plan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Despite telling the rest of us to go green to save the planet &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-turning-up-oval-office-thermostat.html&quot;&gt;Obama turns up the thermostat &lt;/a&gt;in
the Oval Office so that visitors are comfortable in their shirt sleeves
instead of the jackets required when Bush was in office. Chief
strategist David Axelrod said “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids
in there.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama nominates Tim Geithner as Secretary of the
Treasury knowing full well the man he wants to put in charge of the
Internal Revenue Service only paid $43,000 in back taxes when he was
nominated. Senate Democrats call it an &amp;quot;honest mistake.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nancy Killefer, Obama&amp;#39;s nominee to be Chief Performance Officer in charge of making government more efficient &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/02/another-tax-pro.html&quot;&gt;withdraws &lt;/a&gt;her nomination after it is learned she has a tax problem too.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Senate Democrats briefly rally around former Majority Leader Tom Daschle who owed &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/01/tom-daschle-another-obama-cabinet.html&quot;&gt;$100k in taxes &lt;/a&gt;for the benefit of a car and driver. Democrats called it another &amp;quot;honest mistake.&amp;quot; Daschle later withdraws.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Signaling
that cutting defense will be a top priority even while government grows
in every other area Obama requests Defense Chiefs cut military spending
by 10% in a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/30/defense-official-obama-calling-defense-budget-cuts/&quot;&gt;White House meeting&lt;/a&gt; on January 30th.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s order to halt terrorist trials at Guantanamo Bay results in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/05/sources-charges-dropped-uss-cole-bombing-suspect/&quot;&gt;charges being dropped &lt;/a&gt;against a suspect in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/06/obama-holds-emotional-meeting-families-uss-cole-victims-gimto-policy/&quot;&gt;Angry families &lt;/a&gt;meet with Obama one day later and want to know why?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/stimulating-thoughts-cbo-warns-dem-bill.html&quot;&gt;announced &lt;/a&gt;that
President Obama&amp;#39;s economic recovery package will actually hurt the
economy more in the long run than if he were to do nothing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Signaling yet another disturbing partisan move, White House officials let it be known they intend to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/09/gop-sounds-alarm-obama-decision-census-white-house/&quot;&gt;control the census&lt;/a&gt;, which determines congressional district apportionment and federal benefits, from the White House.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s State Dept. &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/obamas-state-dept-praises-venezuela.html&quot;&gt;praises&lt;/a&gt; the vote in Venezuela which gives dictator Hugo Chavez the ability to become president for life.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After
Obama bashed President Bush repeatedly on the federal government&amp;#39;s
response to Hurricane Katrina, any mention of the lingering problems in
that disaster area &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/have-democrats-forgotten-about-katrina.html&quot;&gt;disappear&lt;/a&gt; from Democrat stimulus bills.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s
economic policy is so disturbing that even the Russians are warning us.
Here&amp;#39;s the money quote from Russian Prime Minister &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/russias-putin-warns-against-socialist.html&quot;&gt;Vladimir Putin&amp;#39;s speech &lt;/a&gt;in
Davos Switzerland: &amp;quot;In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the
state&amp;#39;s role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy
totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody
wants to see it repeated.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama insults Great Britain, our #1 friend and ally in the world by &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2509465.stm&quot;&gt;banishing &lt;/a&gt;the
bust of Winston Churchill from the White House. One Obama official went
so far as to say that there is no &amp;quot;special relationship&amp;quot; with Britain.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Eric Holder, Obama&amp;#39;s Attorney General accuses us of being a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96E53483&amp;amp;show_article=1&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;nation of cowards&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; when it came to race issues.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s Energy Secretary Steven Chu expressed total cluelessness about his job when he said &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/obamas-energy-secretary-hasnt-got-clue.html&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;
in February: &amp;quot;I will be speaking and learning more about this in order
to figure out what the U.S. position should be and what the president&amp;#39;s
position is.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;As part of his campaign to undermine the military Obama further enraged military families by &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/freed-to-kill.html&quot;&gt;releasing&lt;/a&gt; Binyam Mohamed from Guantanamo Bay.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After
insisting that he would veto any spending bill with earmarks, Obama
signs one in secret that contains 9,000 earmarks of pork.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Making
matters worse Obama acolytes claim the spending bill he signed was a
&amp;quot;Bush holdover&amp;quot; completely ignoring that an entirely new congress was
seated and that Obama would be the one signing it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Following up on his earlier efforts at fiscal responsibility, Obama introduces &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/obama.html&quot;&gt;his budget &lt;/a&gt;blueprint which triples the national debt in ten years with deficits in the trillions as far as the eye can see.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s budget is based &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/is-team-obama-cooking-books-on-budget.html&quot;&gt;on rosy scenarios &lt;/a&gt;that directly contradict the analysis by the Congressional Budget Office and Blue Chip Economic Indicators. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama delivered his first big speech on Iraq where he &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/02/obamas-iraq-speech-never-used-word.html&quot;&gt;never used &lt;/a&gt;the word &amp;quot;victory.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-to-give-russia-veto-over-us.html&quot;&gt;Hints&lt;/a&gt; that Obama may hand Russia a veto over NATO missile defense systems fails to gain any help with Iranian nuclear issue.]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ve been practicing bowling. I bowled a 129. It was like the Special Olympics or something.&amp;quot; -- Obama on &amp;quot;The Tonight Show.&amp;quot; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Allies
like Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine are left wondering if they
can count on American resolve after hints of missile defense pullout
surface.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rather than deal with mounting economic problems the
White House organizes a campaign to attack Rush Limbaugh who said he
doesn&amp;#39;t want Obama to succeed in destroying the country.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Continuing to show his contempt for the &amp;quot;special relationship&amp;quot; with Great Britain, Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/british-not-happy-with-obamas-diss-of.html&quot;&gt;disses&lt;/a&gt; visiting Prime Minister Brown with a very low key White House welcome.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Further inflaming already raw sensitivities Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/obamas-official-gift-to-british-pm.html&quot;&gt;gives &lt;/a&gt;Brown a stack of DVD&amp;#39;s as a welcome gift. DVD&amp;#39;s that won&amp;#39;t play on British DVD players.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;While
America&amp;#39;s unemployment rate continued to rise and Obama trashed bonuses
for corporate executives his Vice President Joe Biden visits a Miami
Beach resort and &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/mikes-news-catching-up-on-stories-that.html&quot;&gt;tells&lt;/a&gt; big union bosses: “You all brought me to the dance a long time ago, and it’s time we start dancing.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, embarrasses us all when she hands
the Russian foreign minister a button that translates to &amp;quot;overcharge&amp;quot;
when she meant &amp;quot;reset.&amp;quot; Some way to start off a new tack in relations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hillary sticks her foot in her mouth &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/mikes-news-catching-up-on-stories-that.html&quot;&gt;again &lt;/a&gt;by
telling a group of European legislators &amp;quot;I feel the same way about our
own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European
democracy.&amp;quot; Apparently she&amp;#39;s never heard of Greece.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The 9/11
terrorists on trial at Guantanamo Bay make a mockery of Obama&amp;#39;s plan to
trash the Bush Administration for how it treated terrorists by &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/gitmo-prisoners-admit-their-role-in-911.html&quot;&gt;declaring &lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;With
regards to these nine accusations that you are putting us on trial for;
to us, they are not accusations. To us they are badges of honor, which
we carry with pride. Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and
choosing us to perform the act of Jihad for his cause.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Treasury Secretary Geithner seems overwhelmed by his new job and Obama left nearly all of the key offices in that department &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/why-obama-is-ignoring-financial-crisis.html&quot;&gt;unfilled &lt;/a&gt;for months.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama pushes a &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/obamas-cap-and-trade-policy-urgent-need.html&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;cap and trade&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; program which does nothing to save the environment but does allow for massive income redistribution and more taxes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Economists give Obama and Treasury Secretary Geithner &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/economists-give-obama-failing-grade.html&quot;&gt;failing grades &lt;/a&gt;for efforts to revive the economy.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After bashing McCain on the same subject during the campaign the Obama Administration opens the door to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/15/obama-adviser-rule-taxing-health-benefits/&quot;&gt;taxing health care benefits&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wayward conservatives &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-honeymoon-ending-as-former.html&quot;&gt;realize&lt;/a&gt;
they were conned by Obama&amp;#39;s promise to be a centrist and begin drifting
back to the fold. They said we who warned Obama was a socialist were
scaremongers. I guess they learned the hard way.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Pew Poll&lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-most-partisan-and-polarizing.html&quot;&gt; shows &lt;/a&gt;that Obama is the most divisive and polarizing president in the modern era.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Early Obama backer investor Warren Buffet &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-honeymoon-ending-as-former.html&quot;&gt;worries&lt;/a&gt;
that Obama&amp;#39;s effort to push a liberal wish list is &amp;quot;a mistake, I think,
when you&amp;#39;ve got one overriding objective [the economy], to try and
muddle it up with a bunch of other things.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business pundit Jim Kramer is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessinsider.com/now-the-white-house-is-attacking-jim-cramer-video-2009-3&quot;&gt;attacked &lt;/a&gt;by
the White House after saying Obama is &amp;quot;following a radical agenda&amp;quot; that
led to the &amp;quot;greatest destruction of wealth by a President.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even the news media began to wonder if Obama had not gone too far. Stuart Taylor at National Journal&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nationaljournal.com/njmagazine/openingargument.php&quot;&gt; said &lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;The house is burning down. It&amp;#39;s no time to be watering the grass.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Even Obama cheerleaders like Paul Krugman at the New York Times was&lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123636439927455433.html&quot;&gt; concerned&lt;/a&gt;:
&amp;quot;Among people I talk to there&amp;#39;s a growing sense of frustration, even
panic, over Mr. Obama&amp;#39;s failure to match his words with deeds.&amp;quot; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In March we &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/is-obama-new-nixon.html&quot;&gt;learned&lt;/a&gt; of coordinated White House efforts to play attack politics towards critics rather than focus on governing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Annette
Nazareth, who was nominated for Deputy Treasury Secretary withdrew her
name for undisclosed &amp;quot;personal reasons&amp;quot; after a monthlong &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/03/top-treasury-pi.html&quot;&gt;probe into her taxes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-fundamentally-unsound.html&quot;&gt; calls &lt;/a&gt;the &amp;quot;fundamentals&amp;quot; of our economy &amp;quot;sound&amp;quot; after trashing John McCain for saying the same thing during the campaign.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Continuing attack politics as opposed to governing, White House Press Secretary Gibbs &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/white-house-slams-vice-president-cheney.html&quot;&gt;rudely&lt;/a&gt;
slams former Vice President Cheney after an interview he gave critical
of the Administration: &amp;quot;I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy, so they trotted
out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s
town hall meeting in the White House featured questions from a member
of the pro-Obama Service Employees International Union, a member of the
Democratic National Committee who campaigned for Obama among Hispanics
during the primary; a former Democratic candidate for Virginia state
delegate who endorsed Obama last fall in an op-ed in the Fredericksburg
Free Lance-Star; and a Virginia businessman who was a donor to Obama&amp;#39;s
campaign in 2008.&amp;quot; -- Washington Post, 3/27 &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama becomes the butt of jokes and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAZoxniIefw&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&quot;&gt;this classic web video &lt;/a&gt;for his unprecedented reliance on teleprompters.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Showing how clueless Obama is even with a teleprompter he reads the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-reads-wrong-speech-on.html&quot;&gt;wrong speech &lt;/a&gt;during a St. Patrick&amp;#39;s Day visit by the Irish Prime Minister.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s Treasury Dept. was&lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/bonus-gate-how-obama-geithner-and-dodd.html&quot;&gt; behind &lt;/a&gt;the change in the stimulus bill that protected bonuses for AIG executives.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;White
House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is the only man in that job who
could make Scott McClellan, the hapless Press officer for President
Bush look good. &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/wh-press-secretary-gibbs-sets-new.html&quot;&gt;This video &lt;/a&gt;shows that the man may need his own teleprompter.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s&lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/comedian-in-chief.html&quot;&gt; &amp;quot;punch drunk&amp;quot; &lt;/a&gt;performance
on 60 minutes showed just how out of touch he is with the economic
reality of what is happening to average Americans.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/summoning-ron-paul-brigades.html&quot;&gt;violates NAFTA &lt;/a&gt;and the U.S. Constitution by his ban on Mexican trucks on U.S. highways in another reward for his union cronies.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;From President Obama&amp;#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realclearpolitics.com/printpage/?url=http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/03/obama_primetime_press_transcript.html&quot;&gt;news conference&lt;/a&gt;
at the end of March:&amp;quot;This is a big ocean liner. It&amp;#39;s not a speedboat.
It doesn&amp;#39;t turn around immediately. But we&amp;#39;re in a better place because
of the decisions we have made.&amp;quot; So, full speed ahead on the most
massive federal spending spree of all time!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;While Obama and the Democrats were publicly demanding that AIG executives return their bonuses, we &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/will-obamas-chief-of-staff-return-stock.html&quot;&gt;learned &lt;/a&gt;that
Obama&amp;#39;s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, received hundreds of thousands of
dollars in stock and options as a director in failed mortgage giant
Freddie Mac. Appointed to the job as payback by President Clinton&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;As the federal government takeover of General Motors got underway Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/latest-installment-of-cradle-to-grave.html&quot;&gt;declared&lt;/a&gt;: &amp;quot;Starting today, the United States government will stand behind your warranty.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Kathleen Sibelius, another Obama nominee with tax problems &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/03/another-obama-cabinet-nominee-admits.html&quot;&gt;admits &lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;errors&amp;quot; and pays $7,000 in back taxes. Another honest mistake? The Senate confirms her anyway.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/despite-campaign-pledge-obama-raises.html&quot;&gt;Despite &lt;/a&gt;his

and raises suspicions of a coming police state by releasing a &lt;a href=&quot;http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/14/federal-agency-warns-of-radicals-on-right/&quot;&gt;report &lt;/a&gt;suggesting right wingers are at risk of becoming domestic terrorists.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Secretary
Napolitano later insults our neighbors to the north in Canada by
wrongly saying the 9/11 hijackers crossed the border from Canada.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-confuses-april-fools-day-and-tax.html&quot;&gt;confuses &lt;/a&gt;Tax
Day on April 15 with April Fools Day by declaring &amp;quot;families that earn
less than $250,000 a year will not see their taxes increase by a single
dime. And we have kept to those promises that were made during the
campaign.&amp;quot; See #59 above.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Showing how out of touch he is, the White House admits that Obama was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nypost.com/topics/topic.php?t=White_House&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;unaware&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; of the tea parties that were protesting his big spending/big government boondoggle nationwide.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Obama White House &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-demand-georgetown-university.html&quot;&gt;demands&lt;/a&gt; that Georgetown University, a Catholic school, cover religious symbols before Obama speech. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/two-peas-in-pod-obama-and-hugo-chavez.html&quot;&gt;buddies it up &lt;/a&gt;with
Hugo Chavez, Venezuela&amp;#39;s president for life, in photographs that send a
clear negative signal to democrat and human rights activists in Latin
America.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Following up on that first succesful propaganda coup
Chavez gives Obama a book &amp;quot;Open Veins of Latin America&amp;quot; which is widely
regarded outside of leftist circles as &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124078829185157449.html&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The Idiots Bible.&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Obama Comedy Hour &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-comedy-hour-saving-100-million-in.html&quot;&gt;opened &lt;/a&gt;with
his latest bid to take fiscal responsiblity seriously by making a
miniscule $100 million cut in federal spending while running a deficit
of nearly two trillion.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama throws another bone to his left
wing masters by releasing the Bush Justice Dept/CIA memos with the
legal justification for the enhanced interrogation techniques which &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-obama-wont-release-all-cia-memos-on.html&quot;&gt;saved&lt;/a&gt; thousands of American lives.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama raises the prospect of &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/timing-of-obama-release-of-bush-torture.html&quot;&gt;prosecuting&lt;/a&gt;
Bush Administration officials for their role in formulating enhanced
interrogation policy. But ignores requests to release memos which show
how interrogations saved lives.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama again trashes the
military and risks inflamming Islamic terrorists by agreeing to release
old photos of alleged abuse of Iraqi prisoners.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama&amp;#39;s muddled and confused signals on interrogations cause &lt;a href=&quot;http://mikesamerica.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-damages-national-security-by.html&quot;&gt;concern &lt;/a&gt;at CIA and risk agents not willing to connect the dots in future to stop terror attacks.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/rulings/promise-broken/&quot;&gt;broke his promise &lt;/a&gt;to honor the campaign pledge he made to allow the public to have five days to read bills before signing. \&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/rulings/promise-broken/&quot;&gt;broke his promise &lt;/a&gt;to end income tax on seniors making less than $50,000.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/240/tougher-rules-against-revolving-door-for-lobbyists/&quot;&gt;broke his promise &lt;/a&gt;to prohibit lobbyists from working in his Administration in their former fields.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/505/create-a-new-american-jobs-tax-credit-for-companie/&quot;&gt;broke his promise &lt;/a&gt;to provide a $3,000 tax credit to businesses who hire new workers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/508/allow-penalty-free-hardship-withdrawals-from-retir/&quot;&gt;broke his promise &lt;/a&gt;to allow penaly free withdrawals for hardship from retirement accounts.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama &lt;a href=&quot;http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/511/recognize-armenian-genocide/&quot;&gt;broke his promise &lt;/a&gt;to recognize Armenian genocide after criticizing Bush officals for not doing so.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Obama
continues to be in campaign mode and ignores the difficult work of
governing. Results matter more than photo-ops. Someone should tell him.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Showing
total insenstivity on religious matters he tried to appoint
pro-abortion Caroline Kennedy to be Ambassador to the Vatican.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And the big &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 180%;&quot;&gt;100&lt;/span&gt; is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;FORT MYERS, Fla. - &lt;strong&gt;Henrietta Hughes is still struggling to make ends meet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.winknews.com/news/local/43385017.html&quot;&gt;Unemployed and homeless&lt;/a&gt;,
she caught national attention during President Obama&amp;#39;s visit to Fort
Myers when she asked for his help. After her plea, Hughes was given a
free place to stay, but she still can&amp;#39;t find a job and may soon find
herself homeless again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From CNN to Fox to WINK News, her story was everywhere. Today though you&amp;#39;ll find her at the Career Service Center in Fort Myers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;And Edith Childs, who led the &amp;quot;yes we can&amp;quot; brigades for Obama in South Carolina in the key primary phase is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/25/AR2009042501870_pf.html&quot;&gt;dissapointed&lt;/a&gt;. she&amp;#39;s not interested in hearing his stories about flying to Europe or fighting pirates. &lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;I guess he&amp;#39;s just working his way down the list, and he&amp;#39;ll get to us,&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt; she says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tell
that to the millions out of work who thought Obama was going to solve
all their problems with empty campaign slogans and broken promises.
Remember the words of Peggy Joseph in Florida who thought all her
troubles would be over and she wouldn&amp;#39;t have to worry about putting gas
in her car and paying the mortgage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peggy said: &amp;quot;If I help him, he&amp;#39;s going to help me.&amp;quot; How&amp;#39;s that working out for you Peggy?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;     &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

Announcement! Oath Keepers will muster on the Lexington Green,
Lexington Massachusetts, this coming Sunday, April 19th, 2009, from 12
noon to 3 pm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oath Keepers has just been invited to participate in a special free rally on the Lexington Green this April 19, sponsored by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.committeesofsafety.org/&quot;&gt;Committees of Safety&lt;/a&gt; (founded by Walter Reddy and with Dr. Edwin Vieira as Honorary Chairman).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Committees
of Safety has invited Oath Keepers&amp;#39; founder Stewart Rhodes to be one of
four speakers at the event, and we are in turn inviting all of YOU to
join us on the Lexington Green to celebrate &amp;quot;The shot heard around the
world&amp;quot;- April 19, 1775, where the first fighting in the Revolutionary
War occurred.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other speakers will be Dr. Edwin Vieira - scholar
on the history of the events leading up to the Revolution and also on
the historic militia; Walter Reddy - Founder, Committees of Safety; and&lt;br /&gt;Garrett

ancestor stood at Lexington Green on April 19, 1775 and faced off
British troops.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;SPECIAL OATH REAFFIRMING AND SWEARING IN CEREMONY ON LEXINGTON GREEN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On
that day, on Lexington Green, on April 19, we Oath Keepers will read
aloud our Declaration of Ten Orders We Will NOT Obey and will then
reaffirm our oaths to defend the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, for those of
you who have never taken the oath to support and defend the
Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, here is your
chance to do it on a special day, in a special place, on hollowed
ground, in honor of the embattled farmers - &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Oath Keepers all&lt;/span&gt;
- who stood and fought at Lexington and Concord on that day so long ago
and then beat the hell out of the Regulars all the way back to Boston,
along &amp;quot;Battle Road.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We can&amp;#39;t imagine a more soul stirring
experience than to stand in ranks, right there where those heroes
stood, and mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and
our sacred Honor in defense of the liberty those men won for us and in
defense of the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us! Veterans, active duty,
police, fire fighters, and dedicated patriots. We realize this is short
notice, but if you can get there, please do join us for what will most
assuredly be an electrifying experience you will never forget.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The
official event will run from 12 noon to 3 pm, on Sunday, April 19 but
Stewart Rhodes, Dave Freeman, Jim Ayala, and others within the national
Oath Keepers organization will be there from Friday evening, all
weekend, and part of Monday and you can expect that we will make full
use of our time together in fellowship with our brothers in arms,
whether it be in quiet contemplation on the Green or at Concord Bridge,
walking along Battle Road, touring historic sights in Boston, or over
some pints of Ale at a local historic tavern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All are welcome.  We would be honored to meet you and spend time with you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;SPECIAL FILMING OF THE EVENTS, OF OATH KEEPERS READING OF OUR DECLARATION, AND FILMING OF &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;YOUR&lt;/span&gt; OATHS AND TESTIMONIALS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We
will bring several cameras and film crews and will be filming the
entire ceremony, and will also be filming those Oath Keepers who are
willing to take part in an outreach film project we are working on.
Part of that project will include individual active duty, veterans,
police, fire fighters, etc. reading off parts of the Declaration of Ten
Orders We Will Not Obey and also reading off parts of the oath to
defend the Constitution. All of that material will be compiled into a
ten minute montage of all who participate, reading the Declaration and
Oath, with each of you on film reading a few words or sentences each.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And
we will also be filming the full, individual testimonials of those who
are willing to give their own personal testimonials on video.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And
all of those films will be used as part of our outreach efforts to
active duty military, police, veterans, etc. and will be put online on
Youtube, on the new, upcoming Oathkeepers.org website, and elsewhere on
the web.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Oath Keepers  ... Guardians of The Republic  ....

            <pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2009 09:30:18 -0700</pubDate>         
            
            <description>    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Welcome to Oath Keepers!&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are &lt;u&gt;most&lt;/u&gt; honored to have you join us, and with your email, we now 
consider you a member of Oath Keepers and a fellow guardian of the 
Republic.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We thank you for answering the call, and we very much 
look forward to working with you to save our nation.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;See below for 
what we expect from you as a member.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are still constructing our more formal website which will be at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oathkeepers.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.oathkeepers.org&lt;/a&gt;, (the 
blog will remain as it is) and once that is up and running, we may have a more 
formal membership joining process, but you will be considered a member 
regardless, and shall remain so until you tell us otherwise.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;If 
you want to send us more complete info on you, such as name and phone number, 
all the better.&amp;#160; If you’re active duty, feel free to remain anonymous if you 
prefer and just touch base to let us know how you’re spreading the word.&amp;#160; If you 
are active duty and insist on posting a testimonial with your name on it, as a 
few have, then we will also add you to the membership list.&amp;#160; It is your 
choice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do not wish to be considered a member, please email us and let us 
know.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an association of active duty military, police, veterans, and fire 
fighters (and other first responders) and our mission is to focus on such people 
who took the oath, or who otherwise stand as guardians, and make sure they stand 
firm.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;But we also accept those who never took the oath but who 
support our mission of outreach to active duty personnel.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;So, even 
for those of you who never took an oath, you are welcome as honorary members in 
support of our mission.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;You do not have to be a veteran, police 
officer, or active military to be a part of what we’re doing.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; You just have to 
be determined to leave your children and grand-children a free country.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you know anyone else who may be interested in joining us, please let them 
know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOW THAT YOU ARE A MEMBER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One thing you will NEVER receive from us here at Oath Keepers is some horrid 
form letter trying to scare you by describing all of the assaults on liberty but 
then asking only for your money.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We hate those!&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;Yes, we do accept donations and any donation you can give would be 
tremendously appreciated and would help us greatly in our mission, but we will 
ALWAYS ask you to do more than that – to actually get out there and help spread 
the message.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;And even if you haven’t got a dime to spare you are 
most welcome as a brother or sister, and we value your participation because the 
success of this mission, the fate of our Republic, and whether our children and 
grand-children will be free, depends on our &lt;u&gt;conduct&lt;/u&gt;, not on how much 
money we have.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;You can always give of your time, your intellect, 
your passion, and your honor, and those are priceless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;What we expect you to do to help fulfill the 
Oath Keepers’ mission&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;(and note that most of this costs nothing, or 
at most just a few dollars): &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Send in your own testimonial (if you have not done so 
already)&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;It is vital for others to read your powerful and 
moving words of commitment (and they are ALL powerful and moving, trust us on 
that!).&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;There is strength and courage in knowing that others feel 
as you do, so do not hide your light – your fire of liberty – under a bushel. 
Share it with the world!&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Send in your testimonial, and we will 
post it.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We are backlogged somewhat at this time, but yours will 
be posted, so please do send it in.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make a video tape of your testimonial! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;A picture is 
worth a thousand words, and a short video of five minutes or so of you stating 
your commitment to defend the Constitution is worth ten thousand words.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;And such a testimonial by a veteran, and in particular combat vets, is 
absolutely priceless.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;You can post it yourself on youtube and send 
us the link, or if you need help and advice on getting it done, email us. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Send emails to people you know&lt;/strong&gt;, telling them about Oath Keepers 
and our mission, and telling them about important Oath Keepers events, and 
encouraging them to spread the word, especially to active duty military, police, 
and veterans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Post online about Oath Keepers and our mission and events &lt;/strong&gt;on chat 
boards, news boards, etc. online. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;5.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visit the Oath Keepers blog often and comment on the 
testimonials&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;The brave active duty and veterans who send in 
testimonials deserve your thanks and support.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;It will mean so much 
to them to hear from you, and it would be a shame for a testimonial from one of 
those brave guardians of our Republic to go without thanks from you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;6.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Print up and pass out Oath Keepers material&lt;/strong&gt;s, such as our 
Declaration of Orders We Will NOT Obey, or our Principles We Defend.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;Pass them out to your local police, fire fighters, and any military 
personnel near you.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Feel free to make up your own fliers, 
brochures, business cards, etc. and pass them out. (just be sure to accurately 
reflect our positions and to include our website address)&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We are 
working on easy to print up versions you will be able to get off of our 
site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;7.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Send letters to the editor&lt;/strong&gt; of your local paper, telling readers 
about Oath Keepers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;8.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Take out ads in your local paper&lt;/strong&gt;, telling people about Oath 
Keepers.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;You’d be surprised how cheap that can be.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;One man we know took out a half page ad in his local paper for just 
$12.00, telling his neighbors about Oath Keepers.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;9.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spread the word among any groups or associations you belong 
to&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;There will always be veterans among them, and people with 
relatives in the military and police.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;10.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Form a local Oath Keepers &lt;a href=&quot;http://meetup.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;meetup.com&lt;/a&gt; group&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;It’s easy to do, and is a 
great way to meet others in your local area so you can get off the web and get 
out there and meet each other face to face and work together to spread the word 
about Oath Keepers in your community.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We do think Meetup is the 
best system, and we encourage you to use that mechanism.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.meetup.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.meetup.com&lt;/a&gt; to get started, 
and contact us if you need advice.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Oath Keepers is not a top-down 
org.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We want it to be grass-roots and we want you to use your own 
creativity and initiative.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We only ask that you always keep in 
mind you will be an ambassador for all Oath Keepers in all you do.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;We do not tolerate racism, or incitement to violence.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;But 
so long as you act with honor, integrity, good will, and sincere desire to 
spread the message, you are invited to use your own initiative at the local 
level.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We will provide more details and suggestions on how to do 
that in an upcoming email.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;11.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step up and volunteer to be a state-wide police, military, or veteran 
liaison and coordinator&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We are looking for a few good men 
(and women) who can act in those capacities.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We also seek liaison 
officers for each of the major military branches.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Email us at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:oathkeepersok@gmail.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;oathkeepersok@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; 
for details on how to apply.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Police officers, please contact 
national peace officer liaison Dave Freeman, Las Vegas Metro (retired), directly 
at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:freeman777@cox.net&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;freeman777@cox.net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;All 
others, contact Stewart Rhodes at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:oathkeepersok@gmail.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;oathkeepersok@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; or at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:stewart.rhodes@aya.yale.edu&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;stewart.rhodes@aya.yale.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join our Oath Keepers online forum and communicate with other Oath 
Keepers&lt;/strong&gt; to share ideas, thoughts, to give your support and encouragement, or 
just to discuss topics related to the oath and our mission.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;13.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JOIN US ON LEXINGTON GREEN&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;MASSACHUSETTS, ON APRIL 19, 
2009&lt;/strong&gt; TO STAND WITH US AND RENEW YOUR OATH OR TAKE IT FOR THE FIRST 
TIME.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Details are on the blog.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;14.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join others for live events&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Even if you cannot make 
it to Lexington Green this year, you can still meet other Oath Keepers in your 
local are on that special day to renew your oaths or to take it for the first 
time. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;15.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Send us your ideas on how to make our mission more successful.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;We appreciate and respect your creativity.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;You may 
think of something we would never think of, so please share your ideas. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;16.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soon we will have Oath Keepers patches, insignia, bumper stickers, 
T-shirts, banners, pins, challenge coins, etc.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The point of 
those will be to help us all spread the message and to show your support for the 
mission (and it will also be part psyops!) but none of that will ever replace 
you putting in the time and adding your voice.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-indent: -0.25in; margin-left: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;17.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Donate&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;– what you can, when you can.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This effort does take funding, and your donations are vital in 
supporting it.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Oath Keepers is a lean, mean, oath spreading 
machine, and we live by the credo “travel light, freeze at night” and always do 
our best to make every dollar donated go a long, long way (and we have been very 
fortunate to have incredible voluntary help, such as SWAT Magazine donating free 
ad space, and the wonderful artist who has volunteered to design our insignia, 
for free!).&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;But donations are still needed to run this 
effort.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;So, any amount you can spare will make a big difference. 
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;amp;hosted_button_id=4455677%20&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Go here to donate.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;18.&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;#39;Times New Roman&amp;#39;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; -x-system-font: none; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, as we said above, it is your &lt;u&gt;conduct&lt;/u&gt; that matters 
most, and all the money in the world cannot replace boots on the ground, looking 
others eye-to-eye, and you speaking, writing, and sharing this message with 
passion and honor.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The survival of our Republic, and whether 
we shall be freemen or slaves, will depend on the conduct of our military and 
police, and that may well depend on what you and the rest of us in this band of 
brothers and sisters does.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Our future is in our hands.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; 
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NOTE: while Oath Keepers is non-profit, in that we are certainly not in this 
for the money, we will likely not seek tax deductible status because such comes 
with too many strings and limits on free speech.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;We want to be 
able to lobby freely against candidates and liberty stealing, constitution 
violating legislation, and we want to be able to support candidates and bills

involved in any politics, but we want that option.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is the article Worldnet Daily did on Oath Keepers&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soldiers Pledge to Refuse Disarmament Demand&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=91530&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=91530&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That article has been re-posted all over the web.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Please 
continue to spread it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go here to listen to Oath Keepers founder, Stewart Rhodes on the G. Gordon 
Liddy show, on Wed. March 18&lt;/strong&gt; (pass it on to others): &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.radioamerica.org/podcast/GGL/audio/000003_008036.mp3&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://feeds.radioamerica.org/podcast/GGL/audio/000003_008036.mp3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is a great, short interview and would be great to send to 
others.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the videos of Stewart Rhodes on the Alex Jones show, &lt;/strong&gt;Thursday 
March 19.&amp;#160; Yes, some of you may discount Alex Jones as a conspiracy theorist, 
but the man certainly has been on top of many important developments the 
mainstream press just won’t cover (he broke the MIAC Report story), and there is 
no denying he is a patriot – and he has nearly 4 million listeners.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;It was a powerful interview:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Part 1 of 4&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you know of a show you think we should be on, please feel free to send the 
show any info from the site or to point them to any of the above media 
appearances.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Or email me (Stewart) directly at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:stewart.Rhodes@aya.yale.edu&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Stewart.Rhodes@aya.yale.edu&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Welcome! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;We are truly honored to have you among us as a 
fellow Oath Keeper!&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;Please send in your testimonial if you have 
not yet done so, and please do join our forum and introduce yourself.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; 
&lt;/span&gt;And feel free to repost your email and/or testimonial there as 
well.&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Together, we will defend our Constitution against all enemies, we will save 
this Republic, and we will leave our children and grand-children free. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the Republic!&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stewart Rhodes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Founder of Oath Keepers&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS – &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who may have missed our first Oath Keepers update, here it is below 
(with redundant or outdated info removed): &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OLDER UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are working feverishly to answer everyone’s emails individually, so if you 
haven’t received an answer yet, please don’t think we’ve forgotten you.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; It’s 
just that we have received hundreds and hundreds of emails.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; It’s fantastic to 
see Oath Keepers take off like a rocket in this way, but it does make it hard to 
keep up! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have sent in a testimonial either by email or in the comments and it 
hasn’t been posted yet, rest assured it will be.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; But still, if more than a 
week goes by and you don’t see yours up on the blog yet, please email us to make 
sure we did not overlook it somehow.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your testimonials are powerful and vital to the success of this effort.&amp;#160; 
These testimonials are all so moving that we have a tough times getting through 
them to post without tearing up. If you heard me (Stewart) on the radio this 
past week you heard my voice crack more than once during the reading of some 
testimonials.&amp;#160; There are some that are so moving I really just cannot read them 
aloud.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are hearing over and over again what an impact they are having, with many 
people all over the web commenting on how moving the testimonials are and also 
commenting on how it really got their attention and made them think to see such 
serious, no bull men – many of them combat vets –&amp;#160;expressing such serious 
thoughts about the future of our nation.&amp;#160; You are having a tremendous impact.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; 
We now see some very, very serious discussions about the meaning of the oath and 
when it is right to refuse orders, among current duty, vets, and cops, which is 
exactly what we wanted to see happen.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upcoming Projects&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;. We are working on many, many projects.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;A professional emblem designer is donating his time (from Canada) to create 
an emblem for a site banner, challenge coins, T-shirts etc. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tribute video: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One upcoming project is a tribute video to veterans.&amp;#160; This video will be set 
to the haunting and stirring song “Minstrel Boy’ as sung by Joe Strummer: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAdPtzS8reo&amp;amp;eurl=http%3A%2F%2Foath-keepers.blogspot.com%2F&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAdPtzS8reo&amp;amp;eurl=http%3A%2F%2Foath-keepers.blogspot.com%2F&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will be to honor the men who, in their youth, many of them mere boys, 
went to war and sacrificed so much, with many of them not returning, and others 
returning wounded and scarred.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; The theme will be that these men gave so much 
in the fight against fascism and communism, and we owe it to them to make sure 
that their sacrifice was not in vain.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, if you have photos of military and law enforcement family members (or of 
yourself) when they we young, that you would like to see in the video&amp;#160; 
(particularly veterans of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam) please email them in.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If possible, include the name, unit, and years served, or their birth and 
death dates.&amp;#160; You can see an example of this in the site tribute (a picture of a 
young Marine who went off to war at the age of 16).&amp;#160;&amp;#160; But even if you don’t know 
all of that info, please send the photo along with whatever info you have. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you send in pictures, then at least one photo of each vet you want to 
honor will make it into the video.&amp;#160;&amp;#160; We may not be able to use them all, since 
we want to make sure other vets get in, but we will certainly use all of them if 
we can! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That will be a powerful, moving video.&amp;#160; &amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video of Active Duty and Vets Reading the Ten Orders We Will Not Obey: 
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will be a very powerful and important part of out outreach effort! &amp;#160;The 
short video we have up now is actually a trailer and teaser for this longer ten 
minute video.&amp;#160;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;/span&gt;At the April 19, 2009 rally and elsewhere, we will 
take short video clips of active duty military, police, and also veterans 
reading off each of the ten orders we will not obey and we will splice them all 
into a montage of faces and voices with each one of you who appear in the video 
reading a short part of the declaration.&amp;#160; We hope to get dozens or even a 
hundred people in the video, young, old, black, white, brown, etc. from all 
branches, and ranging from young active duty guys, old gunnies, officers, and 
Vietnam vets.&amp;#160; So, please make a video of yourself or another vet (and 
especially the older vets, from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam) reading from the list 
of ten orders and the full explanations. You can read all of one of the ten or 
you can read them all – up to you.&amp;#160; We would especially like to see active duty 
read the first part of each of the ten, stating “we will NOT obey orders to 
____” and then the rest can be read by vets, giving the history and the reasons 
why.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are willing, please take a video camera to a gun show, to a VFW hall, 
VA hospital, or other places where vets come together, and find the older combat 
vets and show them the declaration of ten orders and ask them to read from them 
while you film.&amp;#160; Please ask their permission to use the footage in a video to be 
sent all over. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you don’t know how to email a video, you can send us a tape (email for a 
snail mail address).&amp;#160; If you have any questions, please email us. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our new site along with message boards, FAQs and printable outreach materials 
will be up soon but we will maintain the blog and all testimonials will continue 
to be posted there. &amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;strong&gt;Proofreading&lt;/strong&gt;; Feel free to let us know if you see any typos. And 
those who have offered to proofread don’t be surprised if you find your email 
box filled with attachments soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;Thanks everyone, together we will win back the hearts and minds of own 
troops.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;Stewart Rhodes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OATH KEEPERS SITE 
DEDICATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/2009/03/this-site-is-dedicated-to-memory-of.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams 
(1925-2006), Oath Keeper extraordinaire.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/2009/03/this-site-is-dedicated-to-memory-of.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/2009/03/this-site-is-dedicated-to-memory-of.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, 
John Adams, then age 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could 
fight those who had dared attack his country. His enlistment date was December 
10, 1941, &lt;em&gt;just three days&lt;/em&gt; after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). 
As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the 
pacific, including at Iwo Jima. We may have good men, but we never had 
better.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John Adams was my father-in-law. Once my young son, always full of questions, 
asked his Grandpa John &amp;quot;how many Japanese soldiers did you see go still in your 
[rifle] sights, Grandpa?&amp;quot; (yes, my son talks like that) Grandpa John, who 
usually was not at a loss for words, and never passed up an invitation to launch 
into a good story, just looked away for a moment, in a thousand yard stare, and 
then looking down at his grandson simply said &amp;quot;too many.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Until his death 
in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the 
Republic deadly serious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May God grant you the courage to do 
likewise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stewart Rhodes&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-size: 10px;&quot;&gt;By&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-size: 10px;&quot;&gt;Sher Zieve&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue; font-size: 10px;&quot;&gt;Wednesday, March 18, 2009 &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;The
first fifty-six days of the Obama presidency have been—to put it
mildly—planned frenzy. Frenzy in an attempt to keep We-the-People from
knowing what’s really going on (chaos is a tyrant’s friend) and planned
because it was! Just some of what Obama and his supplicant Congress
have wrought includes: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Seized over $1TRILLION in taxpayer
funds from the US Treasury (in less than 2 months) for the so-called
economic “stimulus package” and heavily- earmarked spending bills&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Committees
held and are continuing to hold “kangaroo trials” of bank executives in
ongoing “investigative” hearings, in order to divert the blame for the
US’ economic disaster from the true culprits—which include but, are not
limited to—Democrats Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd, former President
Clinton and Barack Obama&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Grilling AIG CEO on bonuses paid to
his employees, while knowing full well that it was Senator Christopher
Dodd (D-CN) who wrote the legislation to protect these bonuses. Note:
Dodd is now frantically trying to dance away from this as fast as he can&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Working
diligently—via Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder—to so restrict the
Second Amendment that it essentially becomes null and void&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Working
diligently to so restrict talk radio (via use of the soon to be Obama
FCC and the recently passed restrictive Durbin Amendment) that the
First Amendment essentially becomes null and void&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nationalizing
almost every possible industry, so that the government will decide
virtually all that We-the-People can and cannot do—just a few of these
industries include banking, investments, automobile, oil and gas,
energy and now even food growing and distribution&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Executive
Branch control of the Commerce Department (which has traditionally been
autonomous and controls the US Census Bureau) in order to Gerrymander
districts so that Democrats will be in control nationwide—no elections
will really be necessary&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Assigning the radical Obama Fraud Unit
ACORN to work with the Commerce Department—again, the department that
controls the US Census Bureau. Note: This usage of ACORN appears to
ensure citizen-intimidation (as it affected during the 2008 elections)
and the strong possibility (considering the organization’s biased and
deceitful record) of over-counting certain groups&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cutting US Defense Funds and decrease of the US nuclear arsenal&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Intentionally
lowering the morale of the US Military by advising our wounded soldiers
that they will soon have to pay for their own treatment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;HUGE
increase in taxes on ALL energy use—for everyone—to appease the global
warming crowd and appointing as Energy Tsar former leader of the
Socialist Party International and an agent for world government Carol
Browner. Note: Ms. Browner has said that when energy companies can
provide their ‘smart systems’ she will be able to regulate how much
energy is distributed to each and every private home!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trashing our friends while praising and courting our enemies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Has
already issued directives to the Missouri State and local police that
they are to be on the watch for anyone displaying anti-North American
Union or any 3rd party candidate (most specifically Ron Paul
supporters) bumper stickers. They are being told that these are
probably terrorists or militia members&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recently, in San
Francisco, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that she supports
illegal immigrants and does not support the US legal systems attempts
to stop them!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; The above examples are only a few of those
that Barack Obama has instituted in his first fifty-six days. And all
of them have one thing in common. They are all planned and meant to
weaken the power of US citizens and increase the power of Obama and his
minions. Remember when I warned about Obama as an American Stalin? Are
