On April 23rd in the year of 2015, the President of the United states of America apologized for the death of Warren Weinstein. (Obama takes blame for strike that killed hostages-AFP http://news.yahoo.com/white-house-two-al-qaeda-hostages-killed-us-140915461.html)
This death was not perpetrated by terrorists, but by the United States drone program or what is officially called the Counter Terrorism Program. We can use aesthetically pleasing terms when referring to Warren Weinstein's death such as 'casualty of war', 'friendly fire', 'collateral damage' or 'mistake'. Which is the term President Obama adopted. "It is a cruel and bitter truth that in the fog of war generally and our fight against terrorists specifically, mistakes — sometimes deadly mistakes — can occur. "
President Obama also referred to the 'fog of war'. The biggest problem with this analgy is that we are not at war with Pakistan. So specifically what fog is obscuring our vision? President Obama and his apologists claim we are at 'War with Terror'. That certainly is a very broad statement. This is a Counter Terrorism Program that has no accountibility to anyone, that includes Congress, the American People, the UN or our Allies.
Let's look at the success of this 'Counter Terrorism Program' President Obama has embraced. He has implemented it in the countries of Afghanistan and Iraq and in counterterrorism efforts in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. None of these countries are stable at this time in history, and indeed have become hot bed areas since the drone programs have been implemented.
Summing it all up, President Obama has the United States involved in a Counter Terrorism Program, which he refers to as a War, but has not been approved by congress as a War. He believes his Drone use is permitted by the September 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force Act, which empowered the president to “all necessary and appropriate force” against nations, organizations or persons who planned, committed or aided the Sept. 11 attacks. That generation of terrorists are quickly fading away. His drone use has also been highly unsuccessful. So why are Americans and their Representatives ignoring the failure of this Counter Terrorism program?
Fear. The Republican Congress fears the political backlash of another confrontation with President Obama. The Democratic Congress fears the stigma of fighting amongst themselves, even though they have conducted meetings with President Obama about their concerns. (Democrats Confront Obama On Drone Policy During Closed-Door Gathering With Senators- Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/12/democrats-drone-policy_n_2862544.html).
American Citizens just don't want to experience another 9/11 attack and are willing to turn their backs on the questionable 'targeted killings'. Even though they were very vocal on Enhanced Interrigation Techniques, which I find strange because I would certainly prefer to be waterboarded by President Bush than blown up in a drone strike by President Obama.
The United Nations after being silent on the issue during the first few years of President Obama's tenure have now stated that drone strikes may violate international humanitarian and human rights law and could constitute war crimes. http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/docs/14session/A.HRC.14.24.Add6.pdf
“Drone strikes have been sold to the American public on the claim that they’re ‘precise’. But they are only as precise as the intelligence that feeds them. There is nothing precise about intelligence that results in the deaths of 28 unknown people, including women and children, for every ‘bad guy’ the US goes after,” human rights group Reprieve shared with the Guardian. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/nov/24/-sp-us-drone-strikes-kill-1147 That same 'intelligence' failed Warren Weinstein and his family.
Warren Weinstein's death should be a wake up call to Americans to examine President Obama's Counter Terrorism Program more closely and ask for a more comprehensive and humane tactic. Let's do more to hold this President accountable who is quoted as saying when referring to his drone attacks that he's "Really good at killing people" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/03/obama-drones-double-down_n_4208815.html ;

Wanted to take the liberty of sharing the following letter previously sent to out NM Secretary of State, Dianna J. Duran on January 5, 2012 for the record (re: : Removing President Obama From 2012 Presidential Election Ballot in NM)!
Letter to NM Secretary of State:
Mrs. Dianna J. Duran
New Mexico Secretary of State
325 Don Gaspar, Suite 300
Santa Fe, NM 87503
Phone: (505) 827-3600
Fax: (505) 827-8081
Dear Mrs. Duran:
On or about December 13, 2011, I wrote to you requesting that your office provide me with some direction and/or guidance that would assist me in getting President Obama removed from the New Mexico 2012 presidential primary election ballot over allegations of fraud because I now believe that there is a preponderance of undisputable evidence, which I also shared with you in my letter, that collectively prove that he in fact is ineligible to hold the office of President of the United States and Commander-In-Chief of our armed forces.
To date I have not received a response to my letter from your office and therefore, as an American citizen of the United States and a registered Democrat voting native New Mexican, I am now writing to request that President Obama be removed from the New Mexico 2012 presidential primary election ballot, since “he does not meet the minimum qualifications as set forth in Article II, Section I, Clause V concerning the natural born citizen status” because when he was born in 1961 his father was not a U.S. citizen and therefore he can never be a ‘natural-born citizen,’ as that term was defined by a ‘1875 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Minor v. Happersett’ in which the court defined “natural-born citizens” as ‘all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens.’
This was in fact substantiated when the White House released his ‘Certificate of Live Birth’ on or about April 27, 2011. A copy of which is provided again for your information:
http://whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf
As you are aware, the natural born citizen minimum qualifications are set forth in Article II, Section I, Clause V of our U.S. Constitution, along with the ‘Specific Eligibility Requirements and Duties (Section 1-8-18(A) and 1-4-16(B) NMSA 1978),’ which includes the office of the President of the United States, as outlined in the following ‘New Mexico 2010 Candidate Guide’:
https://mylocalgov.com/currycountynm/ShowImage.asp?thumb=0&rowid=1099&show=0
For your information, I would also like to take the liberty of sharing the following information that has transpired since my letter to you of December 13, 2011, which I believe further substantiates and/or supports my above request:
On or about January 3, 2012, Judge Michael W. Malihi of the Georgia state Office of State Administrative Hearings refused to dismiss a series of complaints that were brought against President Obama’s inclusion on the 2012 election primary ballot, an action that had been sought by President Obama. He also granted a motion to sever the cases and scheduled a hearing for January 26, 2012.

Additionally, on this same date an open letter was forwarded to Judge Malihi by an editor of an electronic newspaper, The Post & Email (www.thepostemail.com), who covers constitutional issues and government corruption to express her sincerest appreciation for his ruling to refuse to dismiss the complaints that were brought against President Obama’s inclusion on the 2012 election primary ballot.

Please feel free to contact me at my home address listed below, if you should have any questions and/or need any additional information from me regarding my request.
I look forward to hearing from your office regarding this disturbing matter, which I believe is extremely time sensitive due to the fact the 2012 Primary Election Proclamation will be issued by our Governor on or about January 30, 2012, as noted on the ‘2012 Candidate Guide.’
Thank you again for the excellent and professional job that you are doing as our Secretary of State.
May you and your staff have a “Happy and Prosperous New Year.”
Respectfully yours,
Jake Martinez

Note: Americans are waking up!
Thanks again to WND, Sheriff Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse for their unwavering commitment and fortitude to continue the fight.
Americans across the country are starting to wake up to the fact that President Obama is constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of President, as substantiated by his newly released long-form Certificate of Live Birth, which shows that his father was in fact born in Kenya in 1936. At the time, Kenya was a British colony. Therefore Obama Senior was a British subject by birth (due to the fact that he was born within British-controlled territory). When President Obama was born in 1961, he acquired British nationality by descent, because his father was a British subject by birth. When Kenya gained its independence from Great Britain in 1963, President Obama became a citizen of the newly-formed nation.

Additionally, Several new organizations, to include active websites, were established to educate and mobilize the American public on the significance of “natural born Citizen” and the 2012 Election, along with an initiative to assist ordinary registered voting citizens wishing to challenge President Obama’s constitutional eligibility and name placement on their state’s 2012 primary presidential ballot. The team that established and maintains this website is currently compiling election laws from all 50 states and in the near future will be providing forms, along with sample letters that registered voters can use to file a complaint. Also included is pertinent information regarding those lawsuits and/or complaints that have been filed by state, to include my own.

Word of Caution: Although its great that many Americans are now beginning to wake up and are actively taking some action to have President Obama taken off the 2012 Presidential Election Ballots we need to keep in mind that those individuals with unlimited sources and/or resources, to include the deep pockets of anti-American George Soros, our own local and national elected officials and others, with the help of the MSM, who have spent years planning and successively perpetrating what I now believe could be the greatest fraud in American history are not going to go down without a fight and thus, as a result, I also believe that now more than ever we need to stick together as Americans (it’s no longer Democrat or Republican) at this crucial time when our country and/or Republic needs us more than ever to see this thru. A Republic for which so many Americans have and continue to give their all to uphold and defend.
So the question is: Are you going to be part of the problem by continuing to keep your head in the sand hoping this issue goes away by itself or are you going to be part of the solution by stepping up to the plate and doing what ever it takes to uphold and defend our Republic before its too late?-You Decide.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
We have since made room for many classes of Resident Alien Immigrants and have afforded them most of the rights enjoyed by citizens and yet for some that is still not enough. The crux of the immigration issue today is not as hard core as Roosevelt's position but rather centers around the question of whether or not the entry was legal and have the requirements of the visa been followed. We are still a Republic, a nation of laws, is it so much to ask of those who want to come here and share the bounty to do it legally??

Comcast, NBCUniversal, MSNBC and (NAN) Fund all of Al Sharpton's Racist Ventures. I for one Don't have Comcast and don't watch MSNBC but who ever does is helping Al Sharpton get a healthy paycheck. I will never watch anything that comes out NBCUniversal. Who ever watches these programs is funding Al Sharpton and we can't forget Walmart. I spend a minimum of $5,000.00 a year at Walmart and I choose to get a little less at a local Grocery Store and will not go to Walmart if it's the last Store on Earth. It makes me feel we are all Accessories to Al Sharpton's Criminal Acts. Now we know why Sharpton is doing the back stroke, he's more worried about his paycheck. He's trying to make everyone think he's sorry MY ASS.

The Obama's are both liars and both are not true Americans. They stand for Law Breakers, Period! The Obama's will go down in History as Brainless Thugs with no real purpose in the real World. Obama had the chance to be one of the best Presidents and made everyone believe his white side. If you all remember right WHEN he campaigned for the Presidency he made sure everyone knew he was half white. Now that he is President he has not brought up he's half white anymore and chose to lead America with his Uneducated Racial Black side. The only reason I say this is when all the scandals where piling up he got Sharpton and Holder together and decided to play the Ferguson Race card Nationwide to take the pressure of his lies and scandals off his back and what better way to do it then play the old Race Card Trick. I'm really surprised the American public haven't figured out his Bullsh_t yet again. Who's the real Racist here ? Americans are thinking he's a smart Man. He will never ever be a real man. A President that
loves his Country will bring Americans together and all he has completed is to divide us to keep our eye's off the real problem that he is a failure as a man and a President. Even Martin Luther King Jr. would go for Impeachment. Martin Luther King Jr. summed it up with a Quote that even the Obama's, Holder and Sharpton can't escape.
Obama is a professional liar and we all know that's a fact. A liar never changes it's spots, he just changes the lies. It makes him feel like a man. Do we all get it yet ? Forget about Obama being President for a moment, he is a failure as a man. A real man will admit when he is wrong and not only try to make it right, he will make it Right. Now we can go back to Obama being President. Figure it out yet ? A President of all People should have Great Character. It's to bad his Character that sticks out is lying. Definition of Character: The combination of qualities or features that distinguishes one person, in his case lying. He's in the Christmas spirit though, it's the lies that keep giving to non Americans. Merry Christmas America, you idiots should be proud.

After massive loses in the November General Elections, the Democrat Party is searching; anything to stop their hemorrhaging.
Ferguson, Missouri’s Michael Brown was a criminal. President Obama, AG Holder, Missouri Governor Nixon, Al Sharpton, and other Democrat Party members are labeling racism as any differing action(s) between individuals involving any dissimilar skin of color.
Evidence reveals Michael Brown as a repetitive criminal. Ferguson’s own community and others protested Brown’s death by rioting, vandalizing, looting, and burning their neighborhood. Now, President Obama is asking Americans’ taxpayers to rebuild this devastated area.
Eric Garner refused to obey NYPD officers. In controlling Garner, he told the officers he could not breathe; then died. A NY grand jury didn’t indict Officer Pantaleo of any wrongdoing. Many leading Democrats disagree.
Any effort to rescind the ‘grand jury’ process is another effort to destroy our US Constitution.
Demonstrators across America under Obama’s advisor, tax-evading Al Sharpton and others claim Michael Brown’s and Eric Garner’s deaths are racism.
Now, Senate California’s Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein is revealing how CIA uses approved tactical methods obtaining evidence from captured known terrorists; as practiced in their efforts to save Americans’ lives.
The Democrat Party suffered historical loses in the November 2014 General Election; the Senate, the House, several Governors, and in some states’ General Assemblies. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and other similar Democrat Party’s activities may destroy their own Democrat Party, the CIA’s international intelligence, and a free America.

When will Capitol Hill Republican Party’s leaders see and/or hear the November 2014 election messages. The first message in the 2014 election season and ignored by the GOP leadership was the defeat by Virginian Republicans to retire one of the top GOP leaders on Capitol Hill.
A few other wins with Conservative TEA Party Republican Party defeats followed; however, many other mainstream Republicans may have been defeated and Conservative TEA Party Republican Party candidates elected had Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner stayed out of the local GOP ‘Primary’ Elections with their own Political Action Committee (PAC) money.
Local Republicans must be allowed to make their own preference selections in ‘primaries’. Capitol Hill leaders may endorse their choices; however, national leaders should not, otherwise, get involved unless there is a reason involving a candidate embarrassment.
Conservative TEA Party Republican candidates were in full support of ‘repeal ObamaCare, get government out of our lives allowing entrepreneurs to create jobs in the private sector, stop-the-spending, and stop illegal immigration’; issues all supported by a majority of Republicans and Conservative TEA party Republican candidates.
Prior to the November Election, President Obama said, "I am not on the ballot this fall…. But make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot, every single one of them."
GOP ‘wins’ in the November General Elections results were based more on ‘defeating’ President Obama, his political policies, and his out-of-the-stream radicalism rather than based on Capitol Hill mainstream Republicans leadership proposals.
Will Republicans’ leadership listen now or will they take their own course? The true message in the General Election is clear; ‘Repeal ObamaCare, get governments out of our lives allowing entrepreneurs to create jobs in the private sector, stop-the-spending, and stop illegal immigration’; issues all supported by a majority of Republicans and Conservative TEA party Republican candidates.

How about introducing legislation as our Honorable Senator Jesse Helms and a few others in the past followed to reduce and/or eliminate laws as reducing our National debt. Liberal Democrats nicknamed Sen. Helms as ‘Senator No’ because of his effort to stop-the-spending.
A major problem with our elected officials on Capitol Hill and across America is for efforts to originate and support more legislations so as they may return home and announce their legislation; regardless of the cost to the American taxpayers and/or adding more deficit spending. Legislators wish to have programs, buildings, highways, etc. approved and named after them; all costing the taxpayers’ money.
While listening to Capitol Hill hearings on ‘Immigration’ and other political conversations outside of official hearings, it is nauseating and infuriating as to how we see and hear Capitol Hill Democrats, Republicans In Name Only (RINO) Republicans, and our Capitol Hill GOP leadership remaining silent on supporting ‘illegal’ immigration regardless of the messages of the November 2014 General Elections.
Democrats support the continuation of ‘illegal’ immigration while RINO Republicans and our Capitol Hill GOP leadership appears their desire to change our ‘immigration’ laws, only to allow more immigration leading to Amnesty.
Remember the Gang of Eight! http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/09/03/Border-Patrol-Agents-Don-t-Pass-Gang-of-Eight-Immigration-Bill
More than 50% of ‘illegal’ immigrants are currently living off a bloating government on taxpayers’ money for food, housing, education, and healthcare, etc.
Most Democrats praise President Obama, AG Eric Holder, and others in the Obama While House. Earlier, several RINO Republicans, and specifically 2016 Presidential candidates, supported ‘Illegal’ immigration; however, most have softly reversed their previous political positions on ‘illegal’ immigration as the political polls have proven in the November Elections all across America prove how a majority of Americans ‘OPPOSE’ illegal immigration.

Americans are awakening to sadness and anger this morning. St. Louis County, MO Grand Jury failed to Indict Jefferson, MO police officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown.
The rioting, vandalizing, looting, and burning that started in August and continued into the night of November 24 is not about racism, but all about terrorism and criminality.
Tax-cheater Al Sharpton, and it appears supported by Obama’s Department of Injustice, Eric Holder, originated and instigates terror and criminality.
Yes, it now appears President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder may be depending on tax-cheater Al Sharpton as a new community organizer with ISIS supported terrorism as we see in the Middle East and North Africa, then transferred into the USA.
President Obama and his administration, with the support of many Capitol Hill Democrats are now reviving the ugly face of racism, from the1960’s and earlier years of our nation.
Blaming racism for criminality will not work. Americans are smarter. President Obama, Eric Holder, Capitol Hill Democrats, and the Main-stream Medias are failing America. Americans are seeing the illumination as more Democrats move closer to GOP principles.

In appraising the Midterm General Election in 2014, most assessors recognize the major issues include President Obama and his administration, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, almost all Capitol Hill Democrat legislators; all Washington, DC Democrats with a ‘left-wing’ agenda and other left-wing members within the Judiciary.
The voters’ breakdown position number one was and is the US economy. Our economy has deteriorated under President Obama and his administration with many jobs being forced to relocate their factories to friendlier communities or nations, or close their businesses here; mostly based on our government’s radical, anti-business agenda.
Many Federal Judges are revealing their own left-wing political positions in overruling states’ Constitutional Amendment initiatives based on our Declaration of Independence, our US Constitution, and our Holy Bible as provided by our Founding Fathers’ guidance’. Many of these incompetent findings may question as to why we vote on anything anymore if these left-wing members of the Judiciary overrule the voters’ positions on these Constitutional issues.
Expect many left-wing Judges and President Obama’s Cabinet administration departments to continue their ‘left-wing’ agendas and in conflict with private sector businesses.
With voters presentation to GOP leadership on Capitol Hill, many other states and local governments across the USA, and under earlier and proven fiscal policies and ideas for restoring the USA, Americans may now see new jobs and/or better jobs in the private sector for Americans to improve themselves, their families, and their communities.
Issues of importance to resolve but in no specific order, include:
Repeal ObamaCare, as itself, this legislation has become a government, Socialistic, and a very expensive endeavor of costs to Americans; burdening too many families and their jobs.
Stop the spending. Balance the Budget. Reduce our National Debt. http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Eliminate or limit many Cabinet departments as out of control government agencies have become too authoritative, unfriendly, and insufferable to employers and our US economy.
Stop Illegal immigrants at the border, and specifically, criminals and other known potential terrorists, etc.
Many of Obama’s foreign policies are failing; whereas, the Obama administration is funding terrorists’ groups and governments; some of these American funded groups and governments are at war with our US Military. How foolish!
America now has 17 times more ‘illegal’ immigrants in the USA than in the entire US Military stationed within the USA; more than 14 times more illegal immigrants in the USA than in the entire US Military around the world.
A majority of our ‘illegal’ immigrants are receiving government aid at taxpayers’ expense; food, water, shelter, healthcare, education, etc.; and at taxpayers’ expense.
Illegal immigrants must be required to return to their native nation, obtain a Green Card, and then get in line before re-entering the USA. Afterward, each permitted immigrant may become a contributor, rather than a recipient of government resources.
The American voters have given Capitol Hill Republicans a Capitol Hill majority in both Houses of Congress with an opportunity to ‘show their stuff’. Americans have spoken! Restore our US economy, preserve our Constitution, and restore our freedoms and values.
Should Republican legislators fail the American voters; the voters will dethrone the GOP in 2016.

Many important issues facing North Carolinians includes Education, the Economy, and ObamaCare.
Education: Everyone must support educating our children; public, private, church, etc. COMPETITION IN EDUCATION generates winning results for our children. The bigger the scores, the worthier! The FRUITFUL TRIUMPHS as the FAILURES PERISH.
Speaker Thom Tillis is demonstrating his support to EDUCATION with a 7% pay increase for teachers; not throwing taxpayers’ money without a plan and/or results.
‘Public schools’ are inviting ‘IRRATIONALITY’. As an example, a ‘public school’ class was given an assignment comparing President GW Bush with Adolf Hitler. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/11/sixth-grade-school-assignment-ask-students-to-compare-bush-to-hitler/
Economy: New and expanding JOBS in North Carolina and all across the USA are most important for any growing economy.
When Sen. Hagan criticizes Speaker Tillis for his support of tax breaks allowing ENTREPRENEURS TO CREATE NEW JOBS AND EXPAND EXPANDING JOBS; Tillis’ s led legislation is providing more and better jobs for our working North Carolinians. Results show as NC’s unemployment numbers decline.
OBAMACARE: Thom Tillis opposes OBAMACARE as a bureaucratic, and costly law, while restricting and/or killing more jobs in the private sector.
Sen. Hagan joined President Obama in ‘TELLING UNTRUTHS’ as both promised that you and I could keep our Health Care plans and our personal Doctors, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYh7L-1lbPY
Sen. Hagan voted to remove $700 Billion from Medicare and Medicare Advantage to PAY for OBAMACARE. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00072

President Obama’s and his administration ‘SCHEME ‘ of FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING AMERICA and its’ History as Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats transformed our Health Care system into ObamaCare.
By Oscar Y. Harward
“When broken down on party lines, the numbers shifted. 76 percent of polled Republicans oppose the standards, while 53 percent of Democrats support the Common Core.
Of those contacted by Gallup, 17 percent said they knew a “great deal” about the controversial educational standards, while 30 percent said they knew a “fair amount.” 34 percent had “only a little” knowledge and 19 percent knew “nothing at all” about the Common Core.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/08/21/new-poll-spells-some-very-bad-news-for-common-core-supporters/
“New history curriculum standards proposed for top high school students leave out such American icons as Benjamin Franklin and Martin Luther King, Jr., paint colonists as bigots and gloss over the Greatest Generation's fight to save the world from Nazi Germany, according to conservative education activists who want the framework delayed — and perhaps scrapped altogether.
An open letter circulated by conservative education activists is calling on The College Board to delay implementing new Advanced Placement U.S. History guidelines, saying a “rising tide of opposition” believes the curriculum will take the nation’s classrooms in a bad direction.”
““The framework ignores the rise of democratic institutions such as the House of Burgesses and New England town meetings,” reads an open letter to the College Board, which oversees Advanced Placement testing. “It also omits the colonists’ growing commitment to religious freedom and the emergence of a pluralistic society that lacked an entrenched aristocracy.”
Also skirted over: America’s role in fighting the Nazis during World War II.
Instead, said Larry Krieger, a retired teacher and former test preparation expert, the guidelines feature “our nation’s founders portrayed as bigots who developed a belief in white superiority that was, in turn, derived from a strong belief in British racial and cultural superiority.”
“And you’re not going to find Thomas Jefferson and the House of Burgesses and the cradle of democracy either,” Krieger told Fox. “You’re not going to find Benjamin Franklin and the birth of American entrepreneurialism.”” http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/07/historic-fail-greatest-americans-missing-from-proposed-curriculum/
“The U.S. Department of Education has used a $4.3 billion grant program and federal policy waivers to encourage states to adopt uniform education standards and testing. The Republican governor says that "effectively forces states down a path toward a national curriculum" in violation of the state sovereignty clause in the Constitution and federal laws that prohibit national control of education content.”
“However, Anna Hunderfund, superintendent of the Locust Valley school district, said the lawsuit reflects local frustration with what many consider government intrusion.
"The authority of local school boards has been undermined at the federal level in ways that were never intended," she said. "People are elected to reflect local values. Over-regulation at the expense of local government is very troublesome."” http://www.newsday.com/news/nation/bobby-jindal-louisiana-governor-sues-feds-over-common-core-1.9163943
“The “10 Facts” resource explains how the Common Core is rushed, untested, and experimental, and how Common Core is (ultimately) concerned with textbooks and curriculum. It explains how Catholic schools are already outperforming public schools, and how Common Core may hinder students’ education and formation.
The final fact that all Catholics should know about the Common Core, the “10 Facts” resource states, is that “Our ‘common core’ is the Catholic faith.”” http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CatholicEducationDaily/DetailsPage/tabid/102/ArticleID/3431/10-Facts-Every-Catholic-Should-Know-About-the-Common-Core.aspx

Jefferson, Missouri’s Michael Brown tragedy may have been turned into a POLITICAL selection by choice rather than RACISM. This tragedy has brought together President Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and a minority community as many dispute the actions of the Jefferson, MO Police Department. Was this protest, vandalism, looting, burning, and rioting a Community Organizer’s plan to ‘encircle the wagons’ in drawing the minority communities back together who are separating from President Obama’s failures?
A Police Department VIDEO shows evidence of ROBBERY and ASSAULT on the store operator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMAUgRfzJDU
In addition to STRONG-ARM ROBBING a store, it turns out Michael Brown was on ILLEGAL DRUGS. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/08/18/report-michael-brown-had-pot-in-his-system-when-he-was-shot/
Obama’s WHITE HOUSE, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the DEMOCRAT PARTY says they want JUSTICE; however, they are unwilling to await a thorough investigation. They are seeking a LYNCHING as practiced by the KKK in the earlier half of the 20th century.
President Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and a minority community are acting like THUGS themselves, as they REJECT FACTS as shown; yet advocating to VANDALIZE, LOOT, BURN, and RIOT in their community while erroneously claiming RACISM. The Police Officer was also shot with his own weapon in a struggle with Brown.
This kind of injudiciousness by President Obama and his administration, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and a minority community is reckless to local police and all others, as well as all Americans.
Could it be that a Community Organizer’s plan just got out of control? How could they STOOP SO LOW?

Capitol Hill GOP leaders are joining President Obama and Senator Harry Reid to ‘cram ‘illegal’ immigration down (y)our throat’, one way or the other; very much replicating the 2009 Capitol Hill Democrat Party’s majority to ‘cram’ ObamaCare down (y)our throat. Conservative Republicans are rejecting their decisions on this issue.
GOP leaders, McConnell, Boehner, and their co-leaders appear to be in support of President Obama’s ‘illegal’ immigration AND/OR changes in our current Immigration laws. Do not be misled! There are NO major problems to our US Code on ‘Immigration’ laws. All ‘illegals’ must be compelled to obey the laws.
Veterans injured, damaged, delayed, and/or rejected by the Veterans Administration for accidents and other sicknesses as legally covered under VA services, funded by our Capitol Hill legislators, and signed into law by the then sitting President(s), are forcing Veterans to suffer and/or die under Government agencies’ erroneous decisions; yet continuing to invite more ‘illegal’ immigrants into America, and at taxpayers’ expense.
Speaker Boehner must lay out the facts; appoint or elect a proficient leader with a solid knowledge under US Law, to bring charges of ‘Impeachment’ against President Obama.
The Senate GOP then, must elect a Senator as defined under law to join the process in prosecuting the ‘Impeachment’ of President Obama, as the Majority Democrats defend Obama.
Impeachment is the solution as Americans are now witnessing an ‘ unneeded, unwanted, and unlawful’ invasion. A 1984 Wendy’s Restaurant advertisement emphasized, ‘Where is the beef’ as now related to ‘illegal’ immigration today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dnUs2AqWvs

Russian President Vladimir Putin has, apparently, had a plan for years; a plan to develop Russia’s expansion into Eastern Europe and around the world.
In 2009, President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Hagel caved to Russian President Vladimir Putin after Putin objected to America and our Allies installation of an anti-missile missile shield, from enemy nations, in protecting our European Allied NATO nations and our greatest friend in the Middle East, the State of Israel. http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2013/07/14/indefensible-policies-our-commander-in-chief-retreats-as-putins-missile-programs-advance/
Russian President Putin rejected America’s and NATO’s Allies’ proposed anti-missile missile shield. President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ditched America’s and our NATO Allies’ earlier anti-missile missile shield as they accepted Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plan to delete the shield; a plan with President Obama’s foreign policy leaving American NATO Allies naked from Russia’s aggression.
While most Senate Republicans voted ‘NAY’ on this plan, 13 Republicans voted ‘YEA’ with President Obama, Majority Leader Harry Reid, and his Senate Democrats; Alexander (R-TN), Bennett (R-UT), Brown (R-MA), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME), Corker (R-TN), Gregg (R-NH), Isakson (R-GA), Johanns (R-NE), Lugar (R-IN), Murkowski (R-AK), Snowe (R-ME), and Voinovich (R-OH). All of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s voting Democrats voted ‘YEA’ with President Obama. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=2&vote=00298
With this approved Treaty, and with all of the voting Democrat Party’s majority Senate votes, along with 13 Republicans, President Obama ordered the Pentagon to pull their earlier plans of installing the protective anti-missile missile system over our NATO Allied Europe nations. http://hotair.com/archives/2013/03/20/flexibility-achieved-obama-pulls-missile-defense-system-from-eastern-europe/
President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, all voting Capitol Hill Democrats, and 13 Republicans lack the resolve to protect Americans and our NATO Allied nations.
America and the world are finally recognizing what Russian expansion means to the world; invading a neighbor nation, firing a missile to shoot down an airliner, 2 military jets in protection of their own nation, and who knows what comes next.
Americans must awaken ‘NOW’ in recognizing this danger and stop this Russian aggression.

In another effort for President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to ‘cram tax-paid Abortion and Birth Control at taxpayers’ expense down (y)our throat’, Sen. Harry Reid and the Democrat Party majority Senate came up short of 60 votes for advancing to a vote in an effort to overthrow, by new legislation, the Hobby Lobby SCOTUS decision.
Sen. Harry Reid and Senate Democrats S. 2578 legislation was a proposed commandment against Christianity, period. It is saddening that any Capitol Hill legislator, and specifically a Republican, who would support this proposed law. http://blog.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/2014/07/03/conestoga-and-hobby-lobby-won-so-what-do-we-do-now/
Based on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) Hobby Lobby decision, all Americans now have a ‘RIGHT’ in practice by choosing ‘Pro-Life’ and follow God’s law, while preventing government from forcing you and me from paying ‘Abortion and Birth Control at taxpayers’ expense’. Life is expressed in our Holy Bible as applied in our Declaration of Independence and US Constitution.
Sen. Harry Reid and Senate Democrats identify S. 2578 as ‘Protect Women's Health From Corporate Interference Act of 2014’. May I rewrite their title as ‘Abortion and Birth Control at taxpayers’ Expense’ as more descriptive?
See how (y)our US Senators Voted; ‘Abortion and Birth Control at taxpayers’ Expense’: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=2&vote=00228
Hobby Lobby again wins on this issue, even with 3 Senate Republicans who voted with Sen. Harry Reid and all Senate Democrats; with the exception of Brian Schatz (D-HI) who did not vote.
All 52 voting Democrats, 2 Socialist voting Independents and 3 ‘left-wing’ RINO Republicans voted with the ‘anti-Christian’ voting Democrats. Do not be fooled. Sen. Reid voted ‘NAY’ as under Senate Rules, his ‘NAY’ vote in a losing balloting would allow him to re-introduce this legislation later.
With the exceptions of Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Mark Kirk (R-IL), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), all other Senate Republicans voted in support of SCOTUS’s 5 to 4 decision allowing those with Christian values in support to ‘Pro-Life’ choice values and to permit all taxpayers from being ‘forced to pay’ for abortions and/or birth control.
No Capitol Hill or state legislator should misrepresent the facts on the Hobby Lobby SCOTUS decision as an attack on women. This is a total lie for all who may say so. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/06/30/krauthammer-hobby-lobby-decision-wont-prevent-access-to-contraception/
As regard to these 3 Republican Party Senators; Collins, Kirk , and Murkowski who voted ‘against’ our Declaration of Independence as referenced in Holy Bible teachings, our GOP leadership under Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House John Boehner will continue their support of these 3 Capitol Hill legislators, just because they have an ‘R’ beside their names. These 3 Republican Senators continue to vote against our GOP Platform as ‘non-believing’ lawmakers; all of their support will be used with precious Republican Party money.
Conservative Republicans across America must rise up against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House John Boehner, and other RINO Republicans as we demand full support of our GOP Platform and all Republicans who vote in support all other ‘Conservative Social issues and values’, or lose their support of GOP money and other RNC resources.

Our Founding Fathers, fed up with an out-of-control government departed their native countries moving to America. Their home governments were seizing their freedoms. Our Founding Fathers were determined to form a new and boundless nation.
On July 4, 1776, a small group from across of our new continent came together in Philadelphia, PA to formulate and approve a new ‘Declaration of Independence’ http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html and proceeded into forming a new Constitution http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution constructed on a ‘Republic’ http://www.theunion.com/opinion/7699648-113/democracy-majority-fathers-founding form of government and based on Christian values and freedoms.
Over the years and since that formation, legislators have written many supplementary laws that would and has chipped away at vigorous and intelligent working Americans freedoms by demanding more of their incomes and giving these assets to many who are/were unwilling to work vigorously and/or work nifty in improving their own lives and their families. Those who are unable to work or have ‘fallen through the cracks’ must be protected with essential ‘NEEDS’, not their desires.
In more recent years, and with this form of expanding ‘Socialism’ http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism by providing all the needs and wants, to all the people, all the time has led up to a point whereas, the questing is how can America continue to survive under a Republic style of government.
President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, most other Capitol Hill Democrats, and many Republicans In Name Only (RINO) Republicans continue to spend more borrowed monies, and placed on a Credit Card at the taxpayers overburdened costs of the working Americans to again, give away more of (y)our money to those who are unwilling to work.
Our National Debt http://www.usdebtclock.org/ has now reached more than $17.55 Trillion to Americans’ taxpayers, whereas each living human in the USA owes more than $55 Thousand each and with each taxpayer owing more than $151 Thousand.
Now, we have reached a crossroad where the taxpayers are overburdened in supporting those who just refuse to work. At the same time, these same President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, most other Capitol Hill Democrats, and many Republicans In Name Only (RINO) Republicans are demanding and requiring more deficient spending, with no ‘BALANCE BUDGET AMENDMENT’ in sight. Our American government is so deeply indebted to China, Saudi Arabia, and others, we have reached a point where we, the USA, may not have the borrowing power to ascertain the necessary funding in a war for protecting our citizens and freedoms. This now affects our National Security and safety. To stop the financial bleeding, legislators much ‘shut down our government’ if that is necessary, until common-sense is restored in enacting and enforcing a ‘BALANCE BUDGET AMENDMENT’.
As states and federal legislators continue to ignore God, our Holy Bible, and our Constitutional values followed by our out-of-control deficit spending, America may die very soon.
Looking around the Internet and reading, I find myself getting more and more depressed. My American dream seems to be lost. No longer is my country free to be the greatest power on the earth.
Watching America’s decline is not a pretty sight. Our government is corrupt beyond my wildest imagination. There are children growing up without knowledge and adults who think all is fine because they, themselves, have not been affected.
Healthcare seems to be a joke these days. Not many can afford a good plan on the O-Care site. Then, of course, there are those who cannot see the doctors they were used to going to.
Food is at an all time high and I see that when I go shopping that people are buying less and less.
Foreign affairs have reached the depths of darkness. As I watch videos of ‘Terrorists’ (I believe that they must be bad people because they are doing very evil deeds), killing and riding in and on top of vehicles with guns and shouting while killing others. There are families of people running to cross borders and flee from evil that is inevitably coming towards them.
America used to save people who were being attacked for presumably no other cause but to take-over a country for power, religious preference and oil.
Iraq was in a neutral state when America maintained a presence. Now, under the O-Regime, all is lost. The world is getting deeper and deeper in debt and countries are no longer safe to travel to.
The only hope that ‘We the People’ have here is for a majority in the Senate in November and to retain the majority in the House. Maybe then we will have a ‘Lame Duck’ president. What am I fooling myself with? Only a ‘Lame Duck’ president would be playing golf while the world around him is falling apart.
What have the people of America done? They voted in pure evil and some don’t even know it. Is there hope for my country? I don’t know anymore.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen was nominated by President Obama and confirmed by a Democrat Party majority U.S. Senate on December 20, 2013, as Commissioner of the IRS, a division of the US Treasury Department.
On June 20, 2014 Commissioner John Koskinen testified, concerning the charges that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is/are/was ‘targeting’ Conservatives, Patriots, TEA Party members and supporters, and other similar groups, by delaying and or denying their First Amendment Rights and under US Tax Code, 501(c)(4) authorizations.
His June 20, 2014 US House ‘Hearing’ responses appeared to be light on detail; even to the point of evading direct questions. Commissioner Koskinen stated that there are no apologies from the IRS to targeted Americans for the IRS alleged ‘illegal’ actions.
As IRS Commissioner, John Koskinen has direct responsibility for everything that occurs under his command, not excluding ongoing events that occurred prior to his taking responsibility for the IRS.
John Koskinen, as Commissioner of the IRS, has an obligation to insure that all existing regulations, laws, and other policies are followed, new policies are implemented where necessary, and for taking corrective action anytime policies are not being followed.
However, in the June 20, 2014 hearings, Mr. Koskiene appeared to be more interested in shielding wrongful IRS employees than in investigating, discovering, prosecuting, and/or even solving problems in the IRS. Furthermore, Mr. Koskiene offers no solutions to these possible ‘illegal’ undertaking activities.
The Lois Learner's ‘missing E-mails’ illuminates a dangerous pattern of the IRS. Their action positions display ‘illegal’ activity on the IRS's ability to manage its’ own Information Systems and/or to enforce it, as well as the US Treasury Department's, policies concerning data storage, maintenance, and record archiving.
‘WE, THE PEOPLE’ have reason to be very concerned since the IRS has enormous authority over our lives and our potentials. Americans should look at some of the Treasury Department’s and IRS’s policy manuals concerning the IRS's ‘requirement’ handling of their own E-mails.
"The Internal Revenue Service is required by federal law to keep records of all agency emails and to print out hard copies of the emails to make sure they get saved in the event of a computer glitch."
"The [Federal Records Act] requires agencies to make and preserve records of agency decisions, policies, and essential transactions, and to take steps to safeguard against the loss of agency records," said House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, who subpoenaed IRS Commissioner John Koskinen Monday.
The IRS’s own definition of the Federal Records Act makes clear that emails must be saved and documented, according to an instructional page for employees on the IRS website." http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/17/irs-was-required-by-law-to-print-out-lois-lerners-emails/
IRS 1.10.3.2.3 http://www.irs.gov/irm/part1/irm_01-010-003.html#d0e51
- "All federal employees and federal contractors are required by law to preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency. Records must be properly stored and preserved, available for retrieval and subject to appropriate approved disposition schedules.
- The Federal Records Act applies to email records just as it does to records you create using other media. Emails are records when they are:
- Created or received in the transaction of agency business
- Appropriate for preservation as evidence of the government’s function and activities, or
- Valuable because of the information they contain
1.15.1.2 (08-19-2013) http://www.irs.gov/irm/part1/irm_01-015-001.html#d0e53
In keeping with the Federal Records Act of 1950, as amended, and pursuant to Title 44, USC Section 3102, the IRS established a records management program - renamed Records and Information Management (RIM) Program - to ensure the economical and efficient management of its records. The program provides for the application, on a continuing basis, of sound management practices and techniques in the creation, maintenance, retrieval, preservation, and disposition of all records.
Treasury Directive 80-05 http://www.treasury.gov/about/role-of-treasury/orders-directives/Pages/td80-05.aspx
1. PURPOSE. This Directive provides policies and assigns responsibilities for records management, forms management, and interagency reports management. This Directive also authorizes the issuance of Treasury Department Publication (TD P) 80-05, Records and Information Management (RIM) Manual, which includes additional policy guidance for specific categories of records.
2. SCOPE. This Directive applies to all Treasury bureaus and offices. This Directive applies to all records of the Treasury Department, as defined in the Federal Records Act, regardless of medium, which are created, collected, processed, used, stored and/or destroyed by Treasury bureaus and offices.
d. Electronic mail (e-mail) message is a document created or received on an e-mail system, including brief notes, more formal and substantive documents and any attachments, such as word processing documents transmitted, but not created, on an e-mail system.
Mr. Koskinen must know that it is illegal and prosecutable to ‘removed or alter’ records of the IRS. Why does he appear to be less than forthcoming in solving the problem with these emails? As the Commissioner of the IRS and a branch of the US Treasury Department, he knows that the IRS are required to periodically backup and preserve these records on a server?
The evidence is mounting that President Obama, Capitol Hill Democrats, and many others in the IRS, including IRS Commissioner Hah Koskinen, may be participants in Lois Learner’s ‘lost’ E-mail cover-up.
The Stupidity of the Impeach Now Movement
Why I have maintained that attempting to impeach the man in the White House is down right stupid is really simple; however, the explanation takes a little time as it involves education. Try to remember that a failure to convict on the articles of impeachment will render it impossible to do so at a later date., for any reason.
Impeachment is not a finding, it is an indictment. After the indictment comes the trail. Impeaching BOH would be easy. The house presents a Articles of Impeachemnt, the votes are counted and he is impeached. Then comes the problem. The trial. That is conducted in the Senate only and the judge is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as mandated in our constitution. Even Dirty Harry cannot refuse to hold that trial and the president can't use an executive order to make it go away. He must be tried if the house impeaches, BUT, and it is a big but, as things stand now the senate would never vote to convict. So we wait. Thank goodness some of the politicians are being smart. Not too many I agree, but there are some.
If we can take control of the senate with just a few votes over a simple majority there MIGHT be a chance. Here is the full process and some comments on that process:
In the Senate
The Articles of Impeachment are received from the House.
The Senate formulates rules and procedures for holding a trial.
A trial will be held. The President will be represented by his lawyers. A select group of House members will serve as "prosecutors." The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (currently John G. Roberts) will preside with all 100 Senators acting as the jury.
The Senate will meet in private session to debate a verdict.
The Senate, in open session, will vote on a verdict. A 2/3 vote of the Senate will result in a conviction. (note: 67 senators have to vote for conviction)
The Senate will vote to remove the President from office.
The Senate may also vote (by a simple majority) to prohibit the President from holding any public office in the future.
Impeachable Offenses
Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." In his report, Independent Counsel, Starr accuses President Clinton of committing eleven acts for which he could be removed from office by impeachment. Are any of those acts "Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors?" Well, that's up to the members of the House of Representatives. According to constitutional lawyers, "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" are (1) real criminality -- breaking a law; (2) abuses of power; (3) "violation of public trust" as defined by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers. In 1970, then Representative Gerald R. Ford defined impeachable offenses as "whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history." An excellent definition, Mr. Former President. In the past, Congress has issued Articles of Impeachment for acts in three general categories:
Exceeding the constitutional bounds of the powers of the office.
Behavior grossly incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office.
Employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.
There are obvious land mines in this process. One of those is when the senate retires to consider it's verdict. The prosecuting attorneys are excluded because they are not senators. How about the defense attorneys? Any defense attorney, selected by the president remember, that is a member of the senate is going to be part of that closed session. Just one reason it has never resulted in conviction. Then there is the seeming fact that one of the things a person serving a full term in the senate seems to misplace is his, or her, conscience. It just seems to get lost, somehow.
So what do we need to impeach and convict this usurper? It appears that we need about 56 conservatives to be elected to the senate. I don't see that happening, do you? However let is be positive. The next session of congress is convened and Dirty Harry is relegated to senate minority leader. The conservatives and the swell of grass roots conservatism convinces a few more liberals that their interest in power is best served by getting BOH out of the White House. Just might happen. Sure can't happen as things stand now.
