I think everyone should see this. It definitely needs further research - but if it proves real - we are in deep kimchi indeed folks.

Put this up on the America sign, NO VACANCY. And no more welfare, affirmative action, quotas, mortagage assistance, food stamps - no more anything that doesn't fit under the heading GENERAL WELFARE. No more INDIVIDUAL WELFARE. The individual is taken care of by the individual. The govt CAN'T take money from one man to give it to another. Period. You get on out there and "pursue happiness." And the CAMPGROUND IS FULL. Look around you, the rat race is sold out. There is NO VACANCY.

The Gang of 8 has released their proposed “Comprehensive” Immigration Act
Firstly, who are the Gang of 8?
Here are some reference links

And some correspondence from an unnamed Senator to a Constitutent.
This excerpt is limited to Border Protection.
It demonstrates the ambiguous language Senators use to “try to slide by”
My comments illustrate the ambiguities.
Hopefully my suggestions make more sense…………let me know

Dear Mr. xxxyyy
Thank you for sharing your concerns about immigration reform. No matter how anyone feels about this issue, we all can agree the system we have is broken--and it needs to be fixed.
But if we try to deport the 11 million people who are working in this country with undocumented status, it would devastate our economy.
[[ME...]]] Says WHO?...... What about the TRILLIONS we will save in ILLEGAL Federal Benefits?......... That statement is typical Wash BS ---- pure UNSUPPORTED bull feces!
……………
Their plan for immigration reform has a number of key elements, the first of which is that there is going to have to be real border security. It's hard to patrol a border of thousands of miles, particularly where people can merely walk across. But it has to be done in the context of overall immigration reform.
[[ME...]]] Context of overall immigration reform is more forked-tongue Wash double speak.
The Senator does NOT reveal that the Bill treats Border Security as a “Ho-Hum” 5 year experiment with provision for an “After-Study” IF it is declared a failure.
The Bill creates a “ GOAL”…. A GOAL that has to run for 5 years before being evaluated. THEN, if the GOAL has not been met, a Commission to Study the problem is created.
How about this Mr. Politician……
When MORE are LEAVING than are Coming IN
[[ME...]]] Then…. Get it implemented within the next 12 months, with weekly “effectiveness” reports
...................
We also need to have an effective way for employers to verify whether the people they hire are eligible to work here. This also has to be part of any immigration reform.
…………..separate issue……….more later…………
This is the beginning of Blogs I intend on Immigration.
This is based on an early NumbersUSA posting.
I originally sent it to each one of The Gang of 8.
Since then I have come up with other Summaries as well as the actual Text of their proposed Bill.
Executive Summary
.............more later.
For now, read on
Recently I faxed this “immigration” note to each of “The Gang of 8”.
Today I find that Sen. DeMint largely agrees with the points I made.
http://blog.heritage.org/2013/04/18/morning-bell-jim-demint-on-the-senates-immigration-plan/
PLEASE read this and vote FOR ME, FOR America, to kill this flawed bill!
I am FOR Immigration Reform… but, let’s get it right.
Will YOU be the one to call out Janet Napolitano on her misleading border protection propaganda?
Will YOU tell her that … better than ever, but Inadequate is …..Inadequate?
Immigration is a hot topic.
The Gang of 8 has a mixed bag of Communications.
This is based on my understanding of their position.
IF I am wrong, PLEASE correct me!
This is from a Politicians reply to a constituent
= = = = = = =
Comprehensive immigration reform should provide a path to citizenship, secure our borders, restore due process to our immigration enforcement policies, preserve family unity as a cornerstone of our immigration system, and reduce the long backlog for immigrants who earned degrees in our universities to receive green cards.

Forward this to all of your Citizen Friends!
It appears we have Senators and Representatives that do not want their source of Drugs interrupted and are safe guarding the known Drug Smuggling paths that are used daily.
They want to leave those areas open to protect their campaign donations and some of their California Constituents life lines to their supplies.
What is wrong with these idiots?
It was published today the cost of this plan will be over a Trillion dollars and could be several trillion dollars.
It will add 20 Million more to the Welfare roles because they can also petition to bring in their relatives.
We must circulate this to all the News Papers and Social Media sites.
The Gang of Eight must be well known as the “Illegal Gang of 8 Drug Smugglers” …. Or “The Traitors 8” and those that value the illegal acts but do not fight for jobs for their Citizens that do not have a job!!!!!
They need to be identified
The Elite Ruling Socialist Class strikes again!
They will own your health care, your schools, your colleges, your food stamps, and the list goes on as your tax dollars will feed, educate, house, Illegals….. They will be rewarded for breaking into America. Obama will be giving them free phones for their votes, and on and on...... they don't care about you... you are just expected to pay for it!!!!

Good Morning Fellow Patriots:
The following recent article, which includes a video, reveals that the father of one of the alleged suspects of the Boston Marathon bombing that was killed by law enforcement officers early this morning talked to ABC News staff and stated that his sons were set up and warned that, if his second 19 year old son was killed, all hell would break loose-You Decide:
Posted on Pat Dollard-By Jake Hammer-On April 19, 2013:
“Excerpted from ABC NEWS
The father of suspected Boston Marathon bomber called on his son today to give up peacefully, but warned the U.S. that if his son is killed “all hell will break loose.”
Anzor Tsarnaev spoke to ABC News from his home in the Russian city of Makhachkala as Boston police carried out an intense dragnet for his son Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, survived a running gun battle with police during the night that left an MIT security officer dead and a Boston cop badly wounded. His older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in the shootout.
The father said he spoke to his sons by phone earlier this week. “We talked about the bombing. I was worried about then,” Anzor Tsarnaev said.
He said his sons reassured him, saying, “Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good.”
The elder Tsarnaev insisted that his sons were innocent, but said he would appeal to his son to “surrender peacefully.”
“Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia,” the dad said.
The father warned, however, “If they killed him, then all hell would break loose.”
“If they kill my second child, I will know that it is an inside job, a hit job. The police are to blame,” the father told ABC News. “Someone, some organization is out to get them.”
The father said his two daughters, ages 22 and 24, live in New York. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is now described as willing to die in a battle with police, was more striking for taking acting classes, advanced placement courses and being a star athlete with lots of friends in high school. “He never seemed out of the ordinary at all,” high school classmate Sierra Schwartz told “Good Morning America” today. “This is not someone who seemed troubled in high school or shy. He was just one of us. It’s very weird.”
Steven Owens told ABC News, “I met him when I was in seventh grade and he was just a great kid. He was fun to be around. Very studious, very smart. I don’t remember a time when he was ever having trouble in school. He was a great athlete. Great to be around.”
Owens said Tsarnaev “always had a positive attitude,” but had expressed some political opinions in school.
“He always thought the war [Iraq, Afghanistan] was stupid,” Owens said. “He didn’t enjoy the idea of war. We didn’t really talk about it much. The only time it ever really came up was when we were learning about it in school.”
When Owens first saw authorities’ photos of Tsarnaev, he wasn’t positive it was him since he hadn’t seen him in a few years.
“I started looking through my yearbook because I thought I recognized him and there he was,” Owens said. “I was just so surprised.”
Students at UMass Dartmouth are being evacuated from their dorms, following confirmation that Tsarnaev lived in the Pinedale residence hall. The search for Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass., has effectively shut down Boston and its surrounding cities today, including Watertown, Mass., where his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in an overnight shootout.
Boston is on lockdown and police are engaged in a large operation in Watertown.
Law enforcement sources tell ABC News the suspects are believed to be brothers are of Chechen ethnicity and their family came from the semi-autonomous Russian province of Dagestan. A law enforcement source confirmed that at least one of the brothers is a legal permanent resident in the United States.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was born in Kyrgyzstan, a law enforcement source citing State Department documents told ABC News. The brothers are believed to have spent time there.
Schwartz went to Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School with Dzhokhar, who is now the target of a massive police dragnet.
She recognized him immediately when she saw his photo released by authorities.
“I was like, ‘Wow, that looks just like Dzhokhar…,” she said. She then noticed that his Facebook page had been deleted.
Schwartz knew he went to college, but did not remember where. She last saw him in Cambridge in the summer of 2011 before starting college. She was not aware that he had a brother.”

I am posting this here as a warning to all fellow Tea Party patriots
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH APPSTAR FINANCIAL FOR CREDIT CARD PROCESSING
THEY ARE CROOKS
SO IF YOU NEED A CC PROCESSOR ASK YOUR LOCAL BANK TO RECOMMEND ONE.
A random thought struck me this morning;
These liberals who claim the word "progressive" to be their defining word.... their goals.
How is it possible to claim "progressive" is their goal - when everything they are doing, without question, is destroying existing structures that have stood and nurtured this Nation for 237 years.
I fail to understand how the act of destroying something that Nurtured a Nation for 237 years is progressive....
McCain & Lindsay…… gotta go!
This is INTERESTING.
It is one of a vast minority of RNC dispatches that address a real issue
GOOD for the RNC…..
Maybe they got the message that until they go to work for America, I will go to work against the RNC.
Anyway, their “Supporter” ranted……… and I agree….
We MUST stop immigration giveaway amnesty…. It is a BIG component of future spending
We must stop the news-grabbing gun-grabbing hype…. But it is SO important.
It is not too much to expect that our high priced help in Washington can handle several issues.
Especially if they do them one at a time……..
Now his rant
= = = = = = = = =
When the number one problem in the Country is the Debt and Spending we have the Gang of 8 doing a horrible Immigration bill that is being sold as one thing when it is really something else and is being pushed by Lindsey Grahamnesty and John McCain the News hound.
These two guys should be reprimanded by the GOP as RINOS and wasting the taxpayers money chasing a ghost for their own publicity.
I think these two are the best Obama Supporters in the Senate.
Why do we want to support garbage these two use to help the President change the subject from the Importance of Reducing Spending and Reducing the Debt to chasing an Immigration Bill and trying to Destroy the Second Amendment.
But it puts McCain and his side kick Grahamnesty on 4 or 5 Sunday talk shows every weekend. They also appear to be trying to keep up with the President on how long they can grow their noses. And McCain was one of the few RINOS that voted for the Gun Bill...... What a pair of Jokers.... get them off the role call we do not need them leading the band of idiots that are destroying the credibility of the Republican Party.
The GOP needs to sit down with both of them and tell them the jig is up to go to work on the priorities of the American people and stop supporting every whim of the President......
I would appreciate a reply ... I write this knowing everyone I talk to and I talk to many see them the same way I do..... I will not support the Republican party if Graham and McCain don't shut up......and start working on the Debt..... and not take the divergence given them by the President....

M --
Yesterday, 45 senators chose to ignore their constituents and stand with the gun lobby.
And because of Senate rules, this minority was able to stand in the way of a bipartisan measure to expand background checks for gun sales.
A lot of people are reading the headlines today and wondering how these senators had the nerve to get up there -- right in front of victims' families from Newtown -- and cast that vote against something that more than 90 percent of Americans support. I'm one of them.
Those senators made a cynical calculation that, at the end of the day, the gun lobby would be louder and stronger than we are.
Yesterday was just round one. We will keep fighting.
If you're one of the millions of Americans who care deeply about preventing gun violence, you need to show it today.
Add your name -- tell Congress you're not going to back down now until they pass a common-sense gun violence prevention bill.
Here's where we go from here:
The senators on both sides of the aisle who stood up to the pressure and cast tough votes to do the right thing -- they're going to know that OFA supporters are going to get their backs.
And those senators who decided that not crossing the gun lobby was more important than making our kids and communities safer -- OFA supporters will call them out and hold them accountable to their constituents.
The special interests have been at this longer, and they can do a real good job at scaring people by distorting the facts -- they think we'll go away quietly.
But there are so many more of us than there are of them. And as long as you don't give up, we're going to keep fighting, and someday soon, we will win.
Add your name right now to say you're going to keep fighting -- for the families of Newtown, Aurora, Tucson, Chicago, and the thousands of other communities that have been torn apart by gun violence:

Speaker of the House, The Honorable Congressman Boehner (R-OH)
Senate Majority Leader, The Honorable Senator Reid (D-NV)
Honorable Gentlemen,
I write today, speaking to the two of you on issues that cross all party lines - and you two are the ones in charge, therefore you are the ones who must take action. I submit - you MUST take immediate action. Not tomorrow or the next day - today, the second you read this.
There are two issues I specifically address;
1. This morning there are news releases saying Congressional members are claiming the Boston bombing must be blamed on sequestration and the NRA.
Sir's, I submit the entire concept of "sequestration" is President Obama's idea - not the Democrats, not the Republicans, not the NRA's - Obama's.
If there is any blame to be laid citing "sequestration" it MUST be firmly and publicly laid at President Obama's feet - as he is the author. We are in "sequestration" because two branches of government have been spending obscene amounts of taxpayer money on things not beneficial or pertinent to the American people - and you know this for a fact.
On a sidebar; Please educate me about any other President in the history of our Nation who spent $1.4 Billion dollars annually on himself, family and friends, taking in 2012 (by all accounts) twenty-three (23) vacations.... when the average American cannot take ANY vacations because of the economy.....
The people of this Nation do not need to be divided against each other and HONESTY must come from those we elected, not deceit or misrepresentation of proven facts.
I charge the two of you to hold your ground and mandate your people tell the American Citizens truth - not lies.
Discover and hold accountable those who would deceive the American people. When the truth comes out, those who deceived will not be re-elected and if nothing else, I would think this would be grounds for both of you to hold House and Senate accountable.
2. There is a substantial amount of controversy surrounding the Saudi national who the FBI questioned - and President Obama has ordered immediately deported back to Saudi after holding a secret meeting with a Saudi official.
Gentlemen, there is TOO much controversy here and there is also far too much evidence available to the public to allow anyone to think this was some sort of isolated incident. I would strongly urge both of you to detain this Saudi national - in defiance of President Obama if necessary - in order to discover the truth.
Governor VanDerBeek (NV) wrote an op-ed this morning that lists the evidence available to us - and the impression a reader gets is chilling to your soul. You can find it here: http://nevadagovernor2014.com/did-dhs-stage-boston-marathon-bombing-nevada-governor-2014-david-lory-vanderbeek/
I submit there is far too much publicly available evidence surrounding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) purchasing more than a billion rounds of ammunition, several hundred thousand of that being "hollow-point" ammunition which the Geneva convention expressly forbids for wartime usage.... and certainly not for "training" or proficiency uses by any agency as stated by Ms. Napolitano. This type of ammunition is far more costly than standard government issue Ball ammunition!
I submit there is no reason whatsoever for a domestic agency with the charter of defending this Nation's Security to have within their inventory 2,717 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) up-armored Military Combat vehicles! (2,700 in DHS, 17 with ICE)
Who are they to go to war against? U.S. Citizens?
I submit that it is not and never will be in the best interests of the American people or this Nation to allow Ms. Napolitano's DHS to grant "trusted traveler" status to any Saudi national - a "status" the vast majority of AMERICAN citizens cannot obtain - to include Military members!
Has everyone forgotten that the people who planned, orchestrated and flew those aircraft on September 11, 2001 were ALL Saudi National's?
I submit it is clearly insanity to provide this "status" to Saudi nationals and an obvious National Security risk!
I submit that back on December 14, 2012 DHS was running an "active shooter" "training" scenario just a short distance away from the Sandy Hook Elementary school - where an active shooter murdered children and adults. "Assault weapons" were immediately blamed and this became the soapbox for more "gun control" measures- yet Connecticut State Police have verified no "assault weapons" were used in this murder spree - yet proponents of "gun control" in Congress continue to claim otherwise, lying to the American people.... and cite this as their grounds for more Honest law abiding citizens to give up THEIR guns - when existing laws are not enforced that might have prevented this tragic murder spree from occurring.
I submit that on April 15, 2013 DHS was running a "bombing" training scenario at the Boston Marathon. Nothing more must be said here.... DHS was all over the place and there are hours of video publicly available proving this as well as testimony from eye-witnesses at the scene.
Honorable Sir's,
In summary; there is a lot of evidence to raise serious questions as to exactly what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is up to - and I strongly urge the two of you to immediately pull the money plug on DHS and start investigating
We have connected the dots and we expected our elected to connect the dots before we did.... this apparently has not happened.
So I write and demand it!
Who am I to "demand" anything from Congress? I'm nobody, I'm not rich or well off... I'm an American citizen who served his country for a very long time, I was trained by the Army extensively and I was quite good at my job. I hold a Congressionally appointed rank. I am not a Republican, I am not a Democrat, I am not an Independent. I am an American.
I'm a man who believes that others, regardless of their financial status, race, color of skin, religion, or political party have some goodness, honesty inside themselves and a drive to make things "right".
This Honorable Sir's, is my attempt to do what I can to make things "right" and my demand is that you too, hold the same things dear to your heart as I do.
Respectfully,

Conservatives are rejoicing at the Senate’s rejection of President Obama’s anti-Second Amendment gun control agenda. For the first time since many can remember, the GOP conference held together and voted on principle to oppose a liberal power grab. There were, of course, a few defectors, including Sen. John McCain, as can be expected. But the leadership held firm and members fell into place.
There are three senators who deserves our accolades for understanding the intricacies of legislative strategy. It was their strategy and their willingness to lay their bodies on the train tracks that fostered victory.
Sens. Paul, Cruz and Lee followed the golden rule of political opposition — make your opponents crawl over glass to achieve victory. By filibustering the motion to proceed to gun control — even in light of opposition from the normally reliable Wall Street Journal — the Senators got a roll call vote of senators before the gun control bill came to the floor. This gave grassroots activists a target list of potential defectors. Word from Capitol Hill is that the 16 Republican Senators who voted to allow gun control to come to the floor came under withering fire from gun owners and conservatives. Talk radio hosts like Mark Levin and others turned up the heat. The pressure was enough to turn potential defectors into strong supporters of the Second Amendment. By using every legislative tool at their disposal, Paul, Lee and Cruz, we able to galvanize conservative support for their position. It has been a generation since conservatives had leaders willing to make such sacrifices. Here’s hoping that victory breeds a crowd.
My dear family in Christ,
for some time now i have been sharing what i consider a simple message: Know Thy Neighbor. However, as tragedies and unspeakable events continue to unfold, I feel an even greater need than ever before to share this simple message again. I am challenged by Christ’s own words to love my neighbor as myself. How can I truly say i love my neighbors if i don’t know them? How will I stand before Christ and claim to have loved my neighbor if I truly never even speak to them, know them even the least tiny bit, or make a true effort. It has become painfully obvious that this simple message could be one of the biggest problems facing the church today. And what affects the church effects our neighbors, or communities, and ultimately our nation. I don’t wish to sound like an alarmist. Indeed, my purpose is anything but. I want to truly encourage the full body of Christ to help me in sharing this simple – but I believe – very important and timeless message of love, sharing, understanding, and (also important) the knowledge of our neighbors. When I was younger, much younger, visiting folks was the norm – even folks we never visited before. We got to know our neighbors, stayed in touch, and became neighbors in deed – not just in word. There are many excuses for not following this small and simple premise of Christ’s love, but there are no true reasons that I can think of. If you agree, please help me to spread the simple message of knowing thy neighbor – not as a cliche’, or catchy saying, but in spirit and in truth as members of the body of Christ, ministers of the gospel, and the kind of neighbor Christ envisioned.
Please take a few minutes to read and consider the following quotation. I believe it speaks volumes and some may indeed wish to read the entire speech from which it was excerpted...
“...I ought to say why I think it necessary, in these days, to go back to a discipline which we had discarded. The truth is that for the last 300 years or so we have been living upon our educational capital. The post-Renaissance world, bewildered and excited by the profusion of new "subjects" offered to it, broke away from the old discipline (which had, indeed, become sadly dull and stereotyped in its practical application) and imagined that henceforward it could, as it were, disport itself happily in its new and extended Quadrivium without passing through the Trivium. But the scholastic tradition, though broken and maimed, still lingered in the public schools and universities: Milton, however much he protested against it, was formed by it-the debate of the Fallen Angels, and the disputation of Abdiel with Satan have the tool-marks of the Schools upon them, and might, incidentally, profitably figure as a set passage for our Dialectical studies. Right down to the nineteenth century, our public affairs were mostly managed, and our books and journals were for the most part written, by people brought up in homes, and trained in places, where that tradition was still alive in the memory and almost in the blood. Just so, many people to-day who are atheist or agnostic in religion, are governed in their conduct by a code of Christian ethics which is so rooted in their unconscious assumptions that it never occurs to them to question it.
But one cannot live on capital forever. A tradition, however firmly rooted, if it is never watered, though it dies hard, yet in the end it dies. And to-day a great number-perhaps the majority-of the men and women who handle our affairs, write our books and our newspapers, carry out research, present our plays and our films, speak from our platforms and pulpits-yes, and who educate our young people, have never, even in a lingering traditional memory, undergone the scholastic discipline. Less and less do the children who come to be educated bring any of that tradition with them. We have lost the tools of learning-the axe and the wedge, the hammer and the saw, the chisel and the plane-that were so adaptable to all tasks. Instead of them, we have merely a set of complicated jigs, each of which will do but one task and no more, and in using which eye and hand receive no training, so that no man ever sees the work as a whole or "looks to the end of the work." What use is it to pile task on task and prolong the days of labour, if at the close the chief object is left unattained? It is not the fault of the teachers-they work only too hard already. The combined folly of a civilisation that has forgotten its own roots is forcing them to shore up the tottering weight of an educational structure that is built upon sand. They are doing for their pupils the work which the pupils themselves ought to do. For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain.”
These are the excerpted last two paragraphs from a speech published in 1948 and delivered by DOROTHY L. SAYERS
First published in 1948
The bulk of this speech appeared as an article in the
Hibbert Journal: A Quarterly Review of Religion,
Theology, and Philosophy Volume XLVI
October 1947-July 1948
American needs to BAN ASSAULT FERTILIZER PLANTS. Let's ask Connecticut. No. Let's Ask That Arizona Congresswoman who swore to uphold the Constitution. You know the one with the Astronaut husband? Yeah! Let's ban those Assault Space Shuttles that killed so many.
Like you, I am saddened and angry at the evil terrorist who bombed the Boston Marathon. I am also angered by the Democrats' and their sycophant media hack's mad dash to blame Republicans.
Shamelessly, the Democrats despicably politicize any and everything.
Democrats have absurdly linked the Boston bombing to the Sequester.
The dirty little secret that the Democrats do not want you to know and the mainstream media will not report is that Obama slashed the budget for domestic bombing prevention by 45%.
The Left openly admits that they hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white right-wing American.
Rest assured, closed door dark room discussions are underway about how best to blame the Tea Party.
Remember, Obama's former Chief-of-Staff, Rahm Emanuel said, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
Americans who oppose Obama's socialist agenda and trampling of the Constitution have been a thorn in the Democrats and mainstream media's sides for years. What better way to destroy the Tea Party than to convince low-info Americans that the Tea Party is responsible for children losing life and limbs. While this strategy may sound a bit cynical, it is reasonable to reference Democrats' past behavior and Obama's former Chief-of-Staff, Rahm Emanuel's words, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”
Frustratingly, all speculation as to who is responsible for the bombing has been limited to foreign terrorists and right-wing extremists. Despite the history of domestic terrorism proving otherwise, not one time in the media coverage has it been suggested the bomber/bombers could be left-wing extremists.
But folks, having exposed the Left's desire to make the Tea Party and Republicans responsible, I wish to focus on the heroes – awesome Americans who stepped up to assist the wounded and save lives.
Mary and I have been on the road away from our home in Florida for several weeks, working to put Conservative Republican Michael Sullivan in the U.S. Senate seat vacated by John Kerry in Massachusetts. We are still in a hotel room living out of suitcases. The stories of heroism and the pain and suffering of innocent children and families have touched us deeply.
I wrote, sang and recorded a song shortly after 9/11 titled, “United We Stand”. My inspiration came from the way our nation came together, though briefly, in unity, patriotism and prayer for our country.
We want to salute the heroes who displayed remarkable bravery and compassion after the bombing. Using my song, Mary got on her computer and put this humble tribute together honoring our heroes. We pray that it blesses your heart.
