Wounded Warrior Project is a Fraud

at least that is what this Army Veteran is saying

Photo credit: U.S. Army Europe Images (Creative Commons)

The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) pays millions of dollars for commercials showing injured service members. Many were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements (why?). I have talked to many Veterans who were promised many things from WWP and did not receive anything in return for the use of their likeness in commercials and print ads.

The commercials do not mention anything WWP does to help the injured service members. Listen closely to the commercials as they parade an injured veteran around like an injured animal. They pay famous actors and musicians to pull on the nation’s heart strings. Fox News takes millions in commercial revenue from WWP, along with A&E and other T.V. networks. I have written to Fox and others begging them to investigate for themselves. I imagine they too are blocked by a non-disclosure agreement.

WWP has many paid board members; this is not legal, according to their own company bylaws. WWP claims that only one board member is compensated. In addition, they have multiple board members and employees who are former Veterans Administration employees, including the former head of the Veterans Administration. This allows the WWP to tap into federal grants that may not otherwise be available. WWP has made sure to hire board members from high places to give credence to their claims. I beg to differ and believe most people will too.

WWP has twelve or more offices in seven states employing thousands of civilian employees and very few former veterans. These employees should be volunteers. Yet every dime they collect for their paycheck is on the back of an actual injured veteran who needs assistance. I called and talked with six different paid civilian employees, and all stated that WWP does not award any type of financial assistance. Injured Veterans do not want to go on trips very often; however, they do need financial assistance while going through their recovery.

WWP uses other non-profits and organizations to provide trips and special events. Why are they not using their own donations? I believe they have so many employees working on collecting donations and soliciting help from other organizations that the actual help to veterans is minimal in comparison to donations.

WWP uses Non-Disclosure agreements with actors and employees to keep them from telling the truth about where the money actually goes. One pilot who used to do Air Shows with them shared this information with me; he said the WWP wanted them to exit the room with donors so they could be in complete control of donations. He refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement because they were taking all the credit for the air shows he and others were performing.

WWP is a for profit business, working under the umbrella of a non-profit. I believe they should be exposed for what they really are; many caring people are duped into donating to WWP,  believing their donations will really help injured veterans. No financial donations, no homes built, no material donations; and according to their own website and commercials, it is not clear exactly what they do. I know they help a handful of veterans by showing up at hospitals, throwing their logo on a veteran’s chest, and snapping a picture to look like they are helping wounded warriors.

WWP is a fraud created by former military members and former Veterans Administration employees that needs to be investigated immediately. They will not go quietly and have an army of lawyers on staff to punish all those who try to expose them. I leave it up to every American to investigate on your own; do not take my word for it. Tell your friends and relatives not to donate to WWP; just help a veteran directly.

Don't read if your not in a good mood!

Try to take this in, and control your temper and sanity at the same time.  We have come to a point in America where the rules of engagement have become far less restrictive for police than Soldiers on the field of battle.  Americans are far more likely to be shot dead by those who's motto is "serve and protect" than our enemies, who declare to kill us all, are by our Soldiers.  Now we have a President and Congress arming the "serve and protect" with weapons as powerful as any military.  We only have good Police and Sheriffs standing between chaos and civilization.  Day by day many cities turn their backs on what can only be described as legalized murder.  There are Chiefs of Police and Sheriffs who run Honorable departments, most in my state do.  Unfortunately states and cities run by Liberal left politicians experience Gestapo style law enforcement.  I want to thank the Sheriff and Police Chief where I live for their responsible professional leadership in their organizations.

Lenin, the founder of the first Communist state, put it simply: "First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia. We will encircle the last bastion of capitalism, the United States of America. We will not need to fight. It will fall as a ripe fruit into our hands." And, "We must practice coexistence with other nations, until we are strong enough to take over by means of world revolution.... We are not pacifists. Conflict is inevitable. Great political questions can be solved only through violence.... It is inconceivable that Communism and capitalism can exist side by side. Inevitably one must perish.''

Rykov, Lenin's successor in the Council of Soviet Commissars, corroborated: "It is our duty to inculcate in the minds of nations the theories of international friendship, pacifism, and disarmament, encouraging their resistance to military appropriations and training, without ever relaxing our own efforts in building our military equipment.''

Manuilsky, a prominent Soviet professor at the School of Political Warfare, said: "The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. We shall begin by Launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard-of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends."

And Khrushchev, a more contemporary Soviet prime minister, said: "We cannot expect Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find out they have Communism.''

Guard Your Block Folks

a+cap+black+street+patrol.jpg
Citizens on street patrol are often solo acts or consist of relative handfuls of highly motivated people.

I always tell folks don't wait until ( the unlikely event of ) a crowd of volunteers gathering before deciding to patrol their community.

I advise them to guard their blocks. If more residents and business owners secured their blocks we'd cut deeply into the crime problem.
 
Unguarded blocks are the core of why America has " bad sides of town " because on a block-by-block basis, folks have allowed thugs, drug addicts and litter to take over.
 
I grew up on a proverbial bad side of town back home and know how easily blocks comprising distressed communities fall into enemy hands.
 
I instituted the Neighborhood Watch coordinator position for my former association filled with frightened senior citizens surrounded by crack dealers, gun fire and crack heads.
 
That experience, of being the one folks gave information to to escape retaliation for talking to the police, was the essence of guarding one's block, in the expanded sense, by including other blocks where scared residents keep silent watch behind burglar bars.
 
My 1 Man Street Patrol activities began in a community whose blocks fell to thugs and addicts in the wake of crack invading where we lived.
 
A lengthy recession means more drug dealing and crime in areas where blocks aren't organized and frankly, increases even on organized ones too.
 
If we each guarded our blocks the net result would be displacing trouble makers eager to find unguarded places to disrupt.
 
Find your comfort zone when it comes to guarding your block. If street patrol isn't your thing, calling 911 within the safety of your home or elsewhere is the next best thing.  
 
Unguarded blocks are much more likely than guarded ones to become crime scenes, rest assured.
 
I want you and your neighbors safe but the people who are best positioned to guard your blocks are, you guessed it!, you and your neighbors!
 
Guard your block, folks!

Obamacare Brings Organized Crime To Texas

Has anyone seen this yet?

The Democrat Party and the Obama Administration have brought 'Texas sized' fraud and organized crime to Texas in an unprecedented way as was reported today in the National Review article online: The Truth About Navigators, by John Fund - http://www.nationalreview.com/article/363699/truth-about-navigators-john-fund

The under-cover video is incontrovertible evidence that the 'Navigators' are operating in Texas as a criminal enterprise and are apparently using fraud and deceit to encourage Texans to defraud the federal government and become criminal accomplices as a result of the explicit instructions of these people operating under the auspices of the federal government and the Democrat Party.

 

The Texas Nationalist Movement calls on Governor Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott to immediately investigate the extent of this organized crime and prosecute those involved to the fullest extent of the law, as is their duty to Texas and Texans.

Over the last month it has become clear that the unconstitutional federal government takeover of the health care infrastructure was conceived in deceit, negligently implemented, and will negatively affect more people than it could possibly 'help'.

 The Healthcare.gov website, probably the most expensive website ever designed, has never worked and only a small, small fraction of those they expected to use it to enroll have actually successfully used it to sign-up for care under the 'Affordable Care Act.'

Texans do not need more federal involvement in either Texas, or in their personal lives. Texans need the freedom to make the choices that serve their needs without regard to the grand designs of the federal government. The Texas Nationalist Movement is working diligently to empower them to have these choices and cut the controlling strings of the federal government at the same time by working to achieve Texas independence at the ballot box. Our mission is clear and the only rational solution for the fraud and tyranny the federal government has imposed upon Texans.

The Texas Nationalist Movement's mission is to secure and protect the political, cultural and economic independence of the nation of Texas and to restore and protect a constitutional Republic and the inherent rights of the people of Texas.

A Miscarriage of Justice Times Two

What can this mean you ask?

I will take you to task.

You see a miscarriage I had.

Of justice times two is bad.

 

Hidden away nice and neat,

In my cerebral cortex.

Filed and organized,

No emotion, was I going to show.

 

Robot-like logic has offered,

Much comfort and protected

Or, so I thought.

Never knew what prickly thorns I had grown.

 

Around the year of 98,

Cramping bloody murder;

Went to the clinic,

My memory is like a drunk of slurry words.

 

Either two weeks pregnant!

Could’ve been two weeks late!

Meaning maybe 4 weeks pregnant.

Basically boiling down to between 2 to 6 weeks pregnant.

 

Never knew.

Had a clue,

Pregnant, I was,

Or, could have been.

 

You see a mother of a 15 month old,

Working, pursuing a Master’s,

Doing all the housework,

Driving, caring for one with autism, and other family.

 

Worn out!

Sworn to get out!

Walked day to day,

Cold robot fashion.

 

Then to find out,
Lost a child,

One of her greatest wants!

From God, almost completely she turned.

 

A living being,

I had done nothing so wrong.

Told not a soul.

But mad as hell.

 

Good reason not to tell.

A husband, ass at the time.

Grown up some since,

Quite a bit, actually.

 

Deny me if you must,

A boy it was.

Parker Nelson, heaven’s my next step.

Short time we had, but we’ll catch up.

 

Parker Nelson Adcock,

now I understand.

Like your brother still to meet,

Taught me lots of things in life you have.

 

God forgive my anger.

Let us put it up on hangers.

Learn our lessons,

Turned to blessings.

 

A miscarriage of justice times two.

God now bends to win.

The devil’s evil is

Sent straight to hell.

 

Finally , the message!

God walks and is

With you all the ways

And days through you with love.

TO ALL AMERICANS no matter how you believe or your politics!

OBAMA REGIME IS NOT REPRESENTING AMERICA!  IT IS OPENLY DESTROYING U S.

The current Federal government is in the process of betraying the United States closest allies.  The following from Israel news report:

“US Secretary of State John Kerry launched an unusually pointed public attack on Israeli policies in the West Bank Thursday, calling settlements “illegitimate” and warning that if current peace talks fail, Israel could face a third intifada and growing international isolation.”

It will not be long before Obama and the Democrat Party have destroyed every strategic relationship the U S has.  Not only are they isolating America from its closest allies they are striping the United States military of any and all intelligent dedicated leaders.  The United States is about to find itself with impudent armed forces and an internal fascist federal policy enforcement force with all the power of a modern standing army.

I have, in the past, resisted the idea that this was happening.  However, in view of recent events, declarations and activities of Barak Obama and the Democrat Party, as well as some Republicans like Mitch McConnell and John McCain, I must concede  that America is in the grips of a completely treasonous and Un-Constitutional President and administration.

Most of the conspiracy theories I have ever heard usually vanish into fictional history where they belong and that is a good thing.  However this one is different, this one has been around for some time.  Evidence of its reality has grown to a point that it simply can not be ignored.  Along with overt knowledge of its existence is the fact that 'no effort' by those responsible has been made to dispel or dispute allegations of the evidence or its existence.  I strongly advise every American who disagrees or disputes this in part or in whole to at the very least stay alert and investigate what could be a covert / overt overthrow of the United States government.  It will not hurt anyone to be wise and question everything, get informed, do your own research.  Stop acting like sheep being led to the gas huts of the Third Reich!

Christie is not what he appears

The pattern is continuing to play:  The Communist Party, hiding behind and orchestrating the so-called "democratic party", is propagandizing the nomination of phony Chris Christie as the next Republican presidential nominee.  That way, the Communist agenda will continue to control the executive branch for at least four more years with their agenda intact.  Nightmare.

What's the evidence?  

(1.) Christie presents himself as having strong convictions he is not afraid to "fight" for.  But the strongest convictions are only from a born again disciple of Christ.  Is Christie born again?  I don't think so.  Then where does his fervor come from? 

(2.)  Why did Christie present himself originally as a genuine conservative and then cuddle up in a love fest with Obama during and after hurricane Sandy?  The Communist propaganda machine we used to call the press, make it appear like they are both about to kiss!

(3.)  Christie wants to pursue the failed and self-defeating strategy of "reaching across the isle" as well as across ethnic boundaries to form the so-called "big tent".   Translated, that means the continued worship of big government and a planned sell-out of genuine constitutional principles. If successful, it would also mean millions more "democrat" voters in the form of illegal aliens.  Christie is no more than an empty politician bellowing yet more hot, smelly air:  Lies, lies, and lies on top of lies!

(4.)  This confirmed it for this anti-communist analyst.  After he came out from behind the curtain to receive his re-election party recently, wining the gubernatorial contest in New Jersey, Christie emerged with a raised, Marxist fist, clenched exactly like the (Communist) democrats, not to mention the original, Adolph Hitler. He gestured this only for a small sliver of the chosen audience.  Once he past the bleachers where the rest of the crowd could now see, he quickly changed from the fist to an open palm, waving at the audience.  That body language told the whole story!  Christie gets his religious fervor from Karl Marx!

Walk With Integrity As A 1 Man Street Patrol

Inline image 1
 
Psalms 26:1:
 
" Establish justice for me, Lord because I walked with integrity "
 
Walking with integrity is the essence of being a 1 man ( or woman ) street patrol.
 
Integrity prompts us to walk ( jog or ride ) not merely to sight see or for health reasons but more importantly to own our share of unmet safety and service needs in our areas. 
 
Shrinking budgets and growing threats demand concerned men and women take to the streets.
 
Waves of unemployed felons are returning home after sentencing during the " Tough On Crime " 80s & 90s often unchanged by the experience.
 
An enemic economy and impoverished values daily deliver a combination punch leaving numerous American cities and towns reeling from rising homelessness and homicide. Making my rounds yesterday brought this last point tragically home as I saw homeless people I knew ( and didn't know ) on New Orleans Canal Street Central Business District area looking noticeably thinner and hungry. I did what I could and continued, including talking down a man I'd met at Occupy Nola who was talking about attacking somebody because of how angry he felt about life.
 
In the lengthening shadow of such despair, people walking with integrity are needed more than ever!
 
If you aren't already a 1 man ( or woman ) street patrol, please consider becoming one.
 
If our streets are unsafe and over flow with the needy, what better reason is there to walk with integrity?

THOU SHALL NOT BE SO QUICK TO SCOLD ME.

Do not tell me that “I know what I did.” I do not. Tell me what my infraction was in

simple, concise manner. I want to please you, but I have difficulties inferring

meaning within a vague statement. For instance, do not say please clean up your

bedroom.Tell me Exactly what you want, such as “Please make your bed and pick up

your toys.”

THOU SHALL NOT COMPARE ME TO OTHERS.

Please remind me and note the talents I possess. This increases my confidence

and positive self worth. Learning disabled or not, we ALL have talents to contribute

within society. I need you to help me realize what mine is. Believe in me and I will

believe in myself.

THOU SHALL NOT EXCLUDE ME FROM ACTIVITIES.

Please do not mimic me, ignore me or bully me. Please invite me to play with you. It

hurts when I am excluded. I like to run and jump in the playground, and be invited to

birthday parties too. Grownups can help me make friends by encouraging other

children to play with me. I can be a loyal friend if you get to know me.

THOU SHALL GIVE ME CHOICES

I do not like being ordered about any more than the other children. Give me choices

so I know you value my capabilities and opinions. Make them simple and concise.

Present two options or so. I get confused when too many questions or directions are

given at one time due to my processing speed. For instance, ask me if I would like

to wear my blue sweater or green one, rather than asking which sweater I would like

to wear.

THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE ME BY MY DIAGNOSIS, BUT MY CHARACTER.

I am an individual, just like other children. As my son used to say, “Mom my name

is John (name changed for anonymity) not Aspergers.” A profound statement

would say. :-0)

As a mom that really tries. My therapist says, “I way over compensate for my son!”

(I will share his name but you must see or find it in my post “My get away if” @http://ollamok.com/2013/09/15/my-get-away-if-written-7-26-13-by-ollamok-2/)

Here are my personal ties to these thoughtful Commands of Mari Nosal’s.

I am guilty of this quite a lot. But then again my son has hidden his talents quite well.

Recently I discovered I was right about his reading level or understanding being

much higher. Yet, was until recent a provider put things in to a term or used concrete

adjectives that brought clarity to me. This provider said his anxiety will make him

function at ( I know many do not like these words but they exist and carry a meaning

that is clear. To be clear I hate the words myself because I see that those on the

spectrum are treated this way when they are often smarter than a person assessing

them. I have often been treated this way. I either get real mad or think they are

ignorant and go on. That is harder to do when it deals with a passion of helping

those in society that are the most vulnerable. If not for my son, I would go crawl into

a think tank organization and forget this stuff) M. R level. Because I know my son

and this has been proven again and again, I fail on this in many ways. I struggle with

this where my husband is much better. It is frustrating for my son I know. Why?

Because I have to stop people and slow them down. However, when I do slow

people down and they get I care; they tended to come back to me and forever or a

long time. I could say much more but this is all I will except be patient with these

blessings from God. It is hard mom’s and dad’s I know. I will have to be mindful of

this till the day I die.

I do this and then I don’t. When my son says my parents didn’t are he shouldn’t do something; I do lots of reminding. I tell him I don’t care what he wants to do. I only want to make sure he has a job doing something he likes that he can make enough money at it. I tell him I could spend time doing something else besides a lot of time in him. I told him I don’t because I love him. Parents that care and take parenting serious do this. I tell him God does this for all those he loves and parents do the same. He will say he can’t are those that have special needs more or less shouldn’t have to do this. I quote and make an example of his favorite person on Earth at this moment. His Grandma Mallo! By gracious! She is 85 with one leg shorter than the other and a Club Foot. Special Needs this and that programs? Where were they then? Well for one there was the Shriner’s Hospital’s! Besides that she had to do most things on her own with the grace and help of God. She worked her whole life. She sacrificed for her four children. This shuts up a child that wants to get by using his disability as a crutch. I am the hard one in the parent chain. My husband is the softy. Being on the same page or closer might be better. I try harder and pray about this often. I am thankful to a case manager of sorts Dr. Samuel Oliphant. Before my wreck I had little time to find things like the Oklahoma Autism Network and other. That is why I want to write and inform others. We are missing a complete audience of people still going it alone.

I would say I never excluded Tanner from an activity. If anything I drug him to too

many. Accepting that he isn’t as extroverted as me; by a person I will be grateful to

forever and still seek her guidance from OKAY pointed this out to me. I do not see

this in myself; I mean being outgoing. I can see that my husband is much closer to

Tanner in the social quietness section termed introvert by this person I owe so much.

I have to do more of letting Tanner be Tanner. He doesn’t have to do everything to

be more social. I know he needs to be but he doesn’t enjoy it so stepping back a

bit might be wise.

9. I try to do this with Tanner. But, as a parent, I have to see that I expose and push

him out of the nest. Giving him choices I do. I forget sometimes that he is a teen,

seventeen. He is capable of all that I say but I keep pushing on and on treating him

as if he a child. Then again, my mother still introduces me as her baby. Therefore,

it could be the natural order of things. Should I get down on myself too much or

continue to try to do better?

I wouldn’t say I judge people by their diagnosis at all. If anything I might over

explain them by their diagnosis. Guilty of doing this with my son. My son may

have perceived this or my spouse but I have never been ashamed of my son. I

have felt blessed by him. Tried by patience with him maybe more so because of a

diagnosis but not about him. I only looked for a diagnosis as a launching pad to

look for things to help and do for him or understanding to get ideas for helping.

Perfect I am not but I try. I hope this has been helpful. I love this book because it hits at the heart of help and core of parenthood. Honesty at the core.

what is the Tea Party?

Tea Party
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue #190 Suite 428
Washington, D.C. 20004

What is the Tea Party‭?

Just the mention of‭ “‬Tea Party‭” ‬evokes strong emotions and comments on all fronts.‭ ‬It is‭ ‬no longer possible for the Tea Party to be ignored.‭ ‬Politicians and the left wing have been trying to negate the effects that this movement has had on the election process in the last two election cycles.‭ ‬The people who believe in the basic principles of the Tea Party have managed to elect conservative members of the Senate and House of Representatives,‭ ‬as well as many state and local positions.

King Obama,‭ ‬Harry Reid,‭ ‬Nancy Pelosi as well as other Democrats and left wing pundits have called Tea Partiers anything from unpatriotic, terrorists,‭ ‬arsonists,‭ ‬traitors and many others that cannot be mentioned here. So what is the Tea Party?

The Tea Party is composed of like minded patriotic individuals in a loosely organized group with no central command organization. All groups are autonomous and answer only to the local members of any group. It is a phenomenon that occurred due to the left taking great strides in their attempts to destroy the democratic nature of this great country. With the election of Barrack Obama in 2008, promises were made to fundamentally transform the United States. Great hope and fanfare was present when he was elected. Only the left had an idea of how drastically they could get the country to turn into a socialist state with a tyrant at its head.

Almost immediately upon his election and taking his oath of office in 2009, Barrack Obama immediately set about socializing and expanding the powers of the Federal Government, in order to mould the country into one run by an overgrown federal government and one he was determined to control every aspect of our daily lives through fear.

History has taught us that tyrants, no matter what the country, begin their careers by promising to better everyones lives and do much better for them, than their predecessors. Barrack Obama, was no different. A wolf in sheeps clothing , he promised to fundamentally transform the United States. What he didn’t say, was that he wanted to install a socialist government, through big government programs, lies, intimidation and force. He has succeeded to some extent, with Eric Holder the dirty work as Attorney General in what is being called “Fast and Furious” and trying to destroy the Constitutional rights given to citizens of the United States in our Constitution. Katherine Sibilius as Secretary of Health and Human Services, who was responsible for the disasterous implementation of ObamaCare. Chuck Hagel Secretary of the Defense, to weaken and demoralize the military by denying them the opportunity to worship if they are Christians. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, current Secretary of State forging closer ties to enemies of the United States. The Department of Homeland Security is training for civil unrest after attempting to purchase all available ammunition for assault rifles. The EPA is ramping up regulations to effectively halt coal fired energy that they attribute to “global warming. We have a government that is allowing islamist extremists to infiltrate different aspects of our government at the highest levels.

If we have learned nothing else in history, it is that, When a lie is told to enough people, enough times, they will eventually begin to believe it. Now, this is where the Tea Party comes in.

People who call themselves Tea Party members, are simply identifying themselves with other like-minded individuals in that they are patriots, not willing to give up their country without a fight. And fight we will, to reinstate the principles of our founding fathers:

A government based on the rule of law where all parties are treated equally,

That our Second Amendment rights to bear arms will never be abridged and that our weapons of self-defense will never be confiscated.

That our rights under the First Amendment, to the practice of religion and free speech not be abridged.

That the president provide a physical,‭ ‬original copy of his birth certificate to We the People and submit himself to the scrutiny of qualified forensic experts.

The Internal Revenue Service must be abolished entirely leaving in place only a reasonable consumption or flat tax.

The National Security Agency's‭ (‬NSA‭) ‬over-broad and unconstitutional spying on American citizens needs to be curtailed and limited to those who are legitimately related to terrorism,‭ ‬terrorist acts,‭ ‬or those who are or could be linked to breaches of national security.

The rules of engagement,‭ ‬which favor Muslim jihadists,‭ ‬must be changed in order to preserve the lives of American military units.

The attempt at socializing the United States of America by enacting the unconstitutional health care plan Obamacare must be blocked, and Obamacare as it stands must be repealed.

Immigration reform is critical to our nation's survival. We must strengthen our Border Patrol and seal the borders and not allow any illegal immigrants into the country. We must come up with a commonsense plan that does not allow for amnesty for illegal aliens as well as deportation of same.

Deny special treatment of the children of illegal aliens by giving them preferential treatment not afforded citizens of the United States.

There are many more areas of agreement that we would agree on, but one thing is this, Tea Party members actively involved at the local, state and federal levels in their desire to preserve our liberties and our rights under the law. We come from different races, different ethnicity, and economic backgrounds. We are not ogres, arsonists, terrorists, traitors of killers as the President, the leftists, Senator Reid, and even some in the republican party have labeled us. But We the people are willing to fight and uphold these principles.

This is what it means to be a tea party member.

Join the fight for Freedom

I've been watching Obamacare's roll-out turn into Obama's unraveling. Or at least it should be. But the Left will survive whatever we say about Obamacare. Like it did with Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS and NSA scandals too.

Obama's approval rating is tanking. His lies about his lies about Obamacare even have the democrats worried. Millions have lost their health insurance, lost their jobs, trading full time jobs for part time jobs and are really worried about the future. They're slow to the party, but America is finally getting it and waking up.

I am not a moderate. This country doesn't have time for moderates anymore. This isn't politics as usual. We are really on the edge of losing this great representative republic forever. We have a cancer in Washington. It will take painful medicine to cure it. I'm not going up there to "go along to get along". I don't care who the speaker is. I don't care what party controls what. We just don't have time to play the usual political games. I'm not going to be the one referring to the other guy as "the honorable gentleman" when he is trying to destroy my country.

This isn't a game. This isn’t tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism. This isn’t a trainwreck. It’s purposeful suicide. It’s not failing, it’s working exactly according to plan. Obama knows what he’s doing. I will stop apologizing and start fighting to my last dying breath to protect your rights and defend my children's future, and the future of my constituents' children.

We play nice. We are polite. When we speak up they call us "extremists, obstructionists, jihadists, terrorists" and our side gets scared and then we compromise or give in and the march to socialism continues. The White House, the Left, controls the media and therefore the message. We get wrapped up in providing free contraceptives while they destroy the domestic energy industry and take away jobs from millions of average Americans. If we keep playing this game according to their rules, we're doomed. Not on my watch.

This is crazy. My primary opponent keeps saying we need "new leadership" in Washington. She's right. We certainly do. But to get that, you first have to elect an experienced leader.

You are not the folks you're going to see having tea and cookies in the garden under a parasol. You are like me: God fearing Patriots all. There are those who will sat in their dining rooms on 18 April 1775, and then there were those who standing on Lexington Green. I invite you now to stand by my side with your muskets on your shoulders.

This fight is about freedom. This fight is about the future of America. This is a fight we simply cannot afford to lose. You can help. Act now. Make a donation to my campaign. $5, $10, $25, $50, or whatever you can afford. Don't let this country slip away. Volunteer. Now is our time. This is serious business and nothing short of the future of our country hangs in the balance.
