This copied from WND post and is just one of the attacks by a radical group in denial!
- S.B. 543, signed by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2010, “allows school staff to remove children ages 12 and up from government schools and taken off-campus for counseling sessions, without parental permission or involvement.”
- A.C.R. 82, approved by the California Legislature in 2010, “creates de facto ‘morality-free zones’ at participating schools (pre-kindergarten through public universities). Schools that become official ‘Discrimination-Free Zones’ will ‘enact procedures’ (including mandatory counseling) against students from pre-kindergarten on up who are accused of ‘hate,’ ‘intolerance,’ or ‘discrimination.’” The definition of “hate” includes peacefully speaking or writing against the unnatural lifestyles choices of homosexuality and bisexuality.
- S.B. 572, signed by Schwarzenegger in 2009, establishes “Harvey Milk Day” in K-12 California public schools and community colleges. In classrooms, schools and school districts that participate, children are taught to admire the life and values of late homosexual activist and teen predator Harvey Milk of San Francisco in the month of May.
- S.B. 777, signed by Schwarzenegger in 2007, prohibits all public school instruction and every school activity from “promoting a discriminatory bias” against (effectively requiring positive depictions of) transsexuality, bisexuality and homosexuality to schoolchildren as young as five years old.
- A.B. 394, signed by Schwarzenegger in 2007, effectively promotes transsexual, bisexual and homosexual indoctrination of students, parents and teachers via “anti-harassment” and “anti-discrimination” materials, to be publicized in classrooms and assemblies, posted on walls, incorporated into curricula on school websites, and distributed in handouts to take home.
- S.B. 71, signed by Gov. Gray Davis in 2003 and implemented in 2008 through the new “sexual health” standards approved by appointees of Schwarzenegger and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell, teaches children as young as fifth grade that any consensual sexual behavior is “safe” as long as you “protect” yourself with a condom, and teaches children that homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality is “normal.”
- A.B. 1785, signed by Davis in 2000, required the California State Board of Education to alter the state curriculum frameworks to include and require “human relations education” for children in K-12 public schools, with the aim of “fostering an appreciation of the diversity of California’s population and discouraging the development of discriminatory attitudes and practices,” according to the state legislative counsel’s digest.
- A.B. 537, signed by Davis in 1999, permits teachers and students to openly proclaim and display their homosexuality, bisexuality or transsexuality, even permitting cross-dressing teachers, school employees and student on campus, in classrooms, and in restrooms.

This is just California! What about your State?
To the Chair, HJC : House Judicial Committee letter dated July 31, 2013 to President Obama
Chairman, House Judicial Committee The Honorable Bob Goodlatte
Congressman,
I have read your letter to President Obama and while I agree with the content and findings of your Investigation - I do not agree with the method of this letter.
Sir, Americans in their millions are watching Congress and what we see is a Congress who appears to be deathly afraid of doing anything against this administration - regardless of their crimes.
This is not only puzzling - it is ominous........
Americans do not understand how crimes can be committed, Contempt can be committed - yet Congress sits idly by and writes letters... When every American Citizen knows that if they themselves committed any such crime, they would quickly find themselves behind bars.
Apparently, any member of President Obama's administration knows they can lie cheat and steal from this Nation without damaging their career or risking incarceration.
This is apparent with administration officials "pleading" the Fifth Amendment in testimony - when they are publicly accountable officials and subject to Federal Law. Administration officials (like Mr. Holder) who deceive in testimony - or outright lie in testimony - yet are not held accountable in the historical response to such lies and deception to Congress.... Impeachment.
Americans question just what Congress is up to and why Congress has such apparent fear for this administration.
You have to understand Sir; this is a very valid question.
I have told you in previous letters to the HJC that until such a time as the Rule of Law is reinstated by Congress - this will continue and our Nation will continue to decline without Congressional action.
If this Nation has to endure another three years of this I do not expect our Nation to survive and I expect our Constitution to be destroyed, citizens in slavery.
Congress must act and you are faced with a perfect opportunity to begin - Impeach Eric Holder. You certainly do not need President Obama's opinion nor do you need his permission!
If Congress acts with Impeachment in this issue, President Obama is placed on notice Congress will no longer tolerate violations of the Rule of Law and there is hope our Nation will survive his term.
Respectfully,
Aubrey Mason San Antonio, Texas

Did anyone else read the statement from a Saudi Prince a couple 3 days ago that demanded that America refrain from fracting??? I think the article said He is a significant owner of FOX news..
Tnx.
Listening to Good Morning American this morning they announced that the government can legally track your cell phone. They said that the information stored in your cell phone was the property of your service provider and not yours therefore they could legally track your cell phone without violating your constitutional rights, BS. This is just another way to spy and try to control the American people. What's next are they going to tell you the signal to your TV is owned by your cable provider and be able to watch what your doing at home through a small camera implanted in your TV? They say it's in the name of National Security yeah right every American is a treat to the country. This is the same crap the FBI pulled back in the 60s during the protests to keep a file on everyone they wanted to by saying they were communist or a treat or an agitator.
How the Tea Party Will Lose The 2014 Election
Yes, I do believe that conservatives will wake up in November 2014 to find that they have lost the senate and maybe the house; though I will admit we just might retain the house. Maybe.
All because there really is no Tea Party. There are the Tea Parties, plural and they don’t talk to each other. They each have their own agenda. They don’t even agree on their basic tenets. There is the “Tea Party Patriots” with a web site here that states their mission as being simply …to restore America's founding principles of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.
Then there is the Tea Party Command Center with a web site here with 15 ‘basic tenets’.
And of course the Tea Party express with six points in their mission statement. Their web site is here.
On each page if you want to see their mission statements for yourself just click on the ‘about’ link at the top of their home pages.
There are others but I think you get the point. Each of these has their own agenda and each goes after their own political ogres. And I am sure each will have their own favorite candidates to endorse. There is no focus within this hodgepodge of political theologies. They can’t even focus enough to get very detrimental Presidential appointees disapproved! Thomas Perez as Secretary of Labor??? WOW. If he has his way, forced unionism will be a federal law that will supposedly override any and all state laws, the tenth amendment not-with-standing. How about Obama’s socialist bed mate Kathleen Sebelius as Secretary of Health and Human Services overseeing the dreaded Obamacare.
Ok. OK. I’ll get back to the point.
With this much diversity among the so called Tea Parties, they accomplish nothing. The speaker of the house, a republican in name only (RINO) is touting the immigration reform acts as they come down from his new bosses in the senate. Who would have thought that a Speaker would go on national TV and call himself a “facilitator”. Gee I thought he was supposed to be the Leader of the majority party. I guess with the mind set of our esteemed politicians that just ain’t true anymore. He has other leadership issues and broken promises, but I said I would try to get back to the point of this blog.
The next point about the fractious Tea Parties is the local organizations. They, for the most part, are far from local in their focus. They want to be on the main stage so they go after national issues. The Tea Party in my own county even refuses to endorse candidates for public offices claiming that they are ‘educational and therefore can’t do that. I have some news for them. There are basically only two entities that can’t endorse political candidates. Any registered religious group due to the separation of church and state and any organization that receives the bulk of their funding from the tax payers such as PUBLIC schools. Private non religious educational organizations that don’t receive funding from the tax payers are completely free to do so. The local groups really need to focus on getting local issues made into laws. Want to take back the senate? Get behind a good conservative candidate and PUSH! Want to stop the amnesty? Deluge your own states senators and representatives with faxes, phone calls and letters telling them to represent their constituents. Now there’s a revolutionary idea. An elected representative representing. I would like to start a new Tea Party in my county. One dedicated to the two items of interest to our population. Political education of the issues of local interest and the backing of conservative candidates. We might call it the Local Tea Party, or some such.
It is up to us, the people that provide the Tea Party leaders with their incomes to make our individual voices heard and demand and accounting. Why can’t they sit down with the leaders of all of the national Tea Parties and work out a concerted effort on one or two issues and a bunch of national conservative candidates then FOCUS or lose yet another election and perhaps an entire nation. Let’s face it folks, WE THE PEOPLE pay these people too and they should reflect our needs not their own.
The government employees are so busy wheeling and dealing that they forget their duties to us. We are not worthy of any thought except if they can con us into believing that they stand for us so that we will vote for them. There is no running the government it is just campaigning, campaigning, and more campaigning. They do not want to have a budget because if they do not have one then they can not be held accountable and maybe loose votes. An on and on and on it goes. WHAT ARE WE TO DO? This stuff is not new it has been creeping up on us from the beginning.

In a sharp memo sent this morning to fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill, Senator Jeff Sessions argues that the GOP elite view on immigration--shared by President Barack Obama and Senator Chuck Schumer--is "nonsense." Instead, Sessions, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, advises his fellow Republicans to adopt a "humble and honest populism."
The Sessions memo begins, "The GOP needs to flip the immigration debate on its head. The same set of GOP strategists, lobbyists, and donors who have always favored a proposal like the Gang of Eight immigration bill argue that the great lesson of the 2012 election is that the GOP needs to push for immediate amnesty and a drastic surge in low-skill immigration. This is nonsense."
The senator from Alabama goes on to argue that Republicans will win big elections if they can appeal to "working Americans of all backgrounds." And he says that if this immigration bill becomes law, "Low-income Americans will be hardest hit"
Sessions's advice to his fellow Republicans is clear: Don't help Obama hurt America. The Republican-lead House is currently working on the Senate-approved immigration bill.
"Like Obamacare, this 1,200-page immigration bill is a legislative monstrosity inimical to the interests of our country and the American people. Polls show again and again that the American people want security accomplished first, that they do not support a large increase in net immigration levels, and that they do not trust the government to deliver on enforcement. The GOP should insist on an approach to immigration that both restores constitutional order and serves the interests of the American worker and taxpayer. But only by refusing any attempt at rescue or reprieve for the Senate bill is there a hope of accomplishing these goals," Sessions writes in conclusion.
300x250
"Instead of aiding the President and Senator Schumer in salvaging a bill that would devastate working Americans, Republicans should refocus all of our efforts on a united push to defend these Americans from the Administration’s continued onslaught. His health care policies, tax policies, energy policies, and welfare policies all have one thing in common: they enrich the bureaucracy at the expense of the people. Our goal: higher wages, more and better jobs, smaller household bills, and a solemn determination to aid those struggling towards the goal of achieving financial independence."
Here's a copy of the full memo:
Memo: How The GOP Can Do The Right Thing On Immigration—And Win July 29, 2013 To: Republican Colleagues From: Ranking Member Jeff Sessions
The GOP needs to flip the immigration debate on its head.
The same set of GOP strategists, lobbyists, and donors who have always favored a proposal like the Gang of Eight immigration bill argue that the great lesson of the 2012 election is that the GOP needs to push for immediate amnesty and a drastic surge in low-skill immigration.
This is nonsense.
The GOP lost the election—as exit polls clearly show—because it hemorrhaged support from middle- and low-income Americans of all backgrounds. In changing the terms of the immigration debate we will not only prevent the implementation of a disastrous policy, but begin a larger effort to broaden our appeal to working Americans of all backgrounds. Now is the time to speak directly to the real and legitimate concerns of millions of hurting Americans whose wages have declined and whose job prospects have grown only bleaker. This humble and honest populism—in contrast to the Administration’s cheap demagoguery—would open the ears of millions who have turned away from our party. Of course, such a clear and honest message would require saying “no” to certain business demands and powerful interests who shaped the immigration bill in the Senate.
In Senator Schumer’s failed drive to acquire 70 votes, he convinced every single Democrat in his conference to support a bill that adds four times more guest workers than the rejected 2007 immigration plan while dramatically boosting the number of low-skill workers admitted to the country each year on a permanent basis. All this at a time when wages are lower than in 1999, when only 58 percent of U.S. adults are working, and when 47 million residents are on food stamps. Even CBO confirms that the proposal will reduce wages and increase unemployment. Low-income Americans will be hardest hit.
Spread the word.
P.S.: Over the weekend Rep. Paul Ryan sent out a very different message when he floated his plan for a path to citizenship for millions of "undocumented Americans" (Ryan's term). Roy has more in his blog.

If there is a revolution, A forcible overthrow of a government or social order for a new system, it will NOT be started by “We The People”.
It will be PREVENTED by “We The People”. We will defend our Constitution and current form of government from the government who wants fundamental change to our system and lifestyle.
Our Constitution is our only protection from tyrannical government who would change our current system without changing the Constitution. The Constitution can only be changed via Article 5 of the Constitution.
Article V
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
Our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence gives “We The People” the process and duty to stop the government from taking shortcuts to mandate changes and or deviances from the power and laws that are currently in place without following the process mandated in Article V of the United States Constitution.
The process is set out in Article V of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.
The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Written by James Madison in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties, the Bill of Rights lists specific prohibitions on governmental power.
The Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Declaration of Independence (Partial Text)
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Our Declaration of Independence is as valid today as the day it was codified to separate us from the tyrannical rule of the British King.
We have fought wars, police actions and pseudo wars or military actions to protect ourselves and other countries from dictators, despots and tyrannical governments. The people of the U.S. who are police officers, military personnel, retired military, ex-military, hunters, concerned citizens of all races (religious or not) and those who want to retain our 200 year way of life (that possess firearms) make up the largest armed resistance in the world. These people will resist the revolution to change our Constitution without invoking and completing the process of Article V (see above).
This is our right and our duty under the Constitution.
To reiterate, “We The People” will not start a revolution, but we sure as hell will defend our Constitution with our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor from those who would attempt CHANGE or social order for a new system without the process defined in Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

A Little Knowledge Is a Dangerous
Allow me to begin by explaining a few things about myself. I am most politically incorrect. I hold a few things as tenets of my American citizenship.
One: This is and was intended to be a Christian nation.
Two: Muslims and the muslim religion are something to be feared and distrusted.
Three: This country was founded on the principles of freedom and individual responsibility.
Four: An ignorant electorate is a very dangerous thing.
Now let’s take a look at those tenets in order
This country was founded and by Christians. Yes they wrote into that marvelous document we know as our Constitution. Yes they wrote into the first ten amendments, better known as the Bill of Rights, and into the very first of them these words: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; …” but there is no way they intended that to be interpreted as the outlawing of governmentally sponsored and approved religious symbolism or practices on or near governmentally supported institutions. Thomas Jefferson ,our third president and author of the Declaration of Independence and founding father certainly knew of that amendment when he began holding church services in the White House after he was elected. A tradition that lasted for fifty years.. Nor were they ignorant of them when they inscribed out money with “In GOD We Trust” and placing various references to God on many of our government buildings in Washington DC. I am of the firm opinion that the Supreme Court was way out of bounds in declaring school prayer unconstitutional.
The Muslim religion has as one of their tenets that infidels that cannot be converted must be killed. I cannot be converted. I have reason to distrust and fear any and all Muslims. AND I do. This says nothing of the fact that the largest of the muslim sects- The Shiites - has formally declared a “jihad” against America which is tantamount to a declaration of war.
The first Amendment to the Constitution states in full “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” I take that to mean I am allowed to write this blog and say what I choose or to give a speech on any topic and on any street corner of these United States without government interference. Were you aware that a man and his wife were detained, in handcuffs, inside a national park, Liberty Park ironically, for the act of handing out pamphlets regarding the Constitution of this country? It is true. Look it up.
And the last point regarding an uninformed electorate. One minor example I’ll give you is the recent “Overpass” rallies held by many Tea Party organizations around this nation. The county I live in doesn’t have an overpass so the local Tea Party held theirs by the side of one of the major highways in the county. That organization received this post on it’s Face Book page. "Your display on Route 19 today is an embarrassment to the state. I hope those unfortunate enough to have seen it don't think the entire community shares your hatred for the President of the United States." She is apparently unaware that one poll shows that fifty seven pct. of AMERICAN voters disapprove of that president and a growing faction (Hovering near the 50% level) believe he has committed crimes deserving of impeachment. She is unaware that a majority of her fellow citizens in West (By God) Virginia feel that way. Then there are the people who get their information about the state of this country only from the mainstream media. Even true idiots don’t limit themselves to one source of information. Gad woman, WAKE UP.
This one fact leads us to a very dangerous situation for Americans. Obamacare is so feared by the informed public that even agencies of the federal government are protesting being covered by it. Just as an aside I have a good friend in the corporate world whose insurance premium has already doubled and they are looking at more increases every few months. All because of Obamacare. My personal physician has opted out of the Medicare system because of it and now sees only privately insured or cash customers. I am one of those people covered by Medicare so I don’t get to see a Dr. very often these days. Just can’t afford it. I could go on about the liberal overreach and destruction of freedoms as well as the encroachment on our Constitution, but I will save that for another day.
That ends the rant for today. If you want to comment or take exception to these words, my email address is here for your enjoyment.
Why did McCain Presidential Campaign Silence Palin discussion
on Rev. Wright and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers?
When truth is prevented from ever reaching the ears of the American public during a presidential campaign the consequences can often be tragic. Consider the case of the 2008 mainstream media cover up and strict avoidance of Obama’s long time connection to Black Nationalist minister Jeremiah Wright and his firebrand racist comments. The media shackled the truth and allowed then U.S. Senator Obama to skate all the way to his election as president.
What is even worse was former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin’s recent revelation that the John McCain presidential campaign actually banned her from talking about Rev. Jeremiah Wright or anarchist Bill Ayers. Think about the repercussions of how an informed American public could have at least had the opportunity to discuss as well as evaluate this information with the fullness a vice presidential candidate’s focus would have offered.
Typically it is the vice presidential candidate who is given the task to reveal the underbelly of the opposition’s campaign and bring attention to issues that a presidential candidate seeks to avoid discussing.
But instead of engaging in a fully spirited public campaign discussion that would have given Sarah Palin the ability to point out these glaring inconsistencies she was silenced. She is right to be appalled. The nation needed to see a presidential campaign question how a former community organizer from Chicago’s south side managed to have his state senate campaign launched in the living room of the co-founder of the violent anti-war group Weather Underground.
The nation needed a Republican presidential campaign demand the details on how Obama embraced the racist-laden preaching of Rev. Wright. Instead, Palin was forced to stand on the sidelines and watch the McCain campaign throw the towel in without even a whisper.
What this did in effect is to undermine the ability as well as the intelligence of the American people to make a determination to evaluate the fitness of a presidential candidate who offered shadowy explanations for his past record of radical and socialist associations.
The mainstream media was given a pass by the John McCain campaign to not look deeper into Obama’s past associations because they wanted to write a narrative that was actually race-based. McCain campaign appeared to not want the truth about a known radicalized element in Obama’s past; because it would somehow upset the voters he was seeking to convert to support his election as president.
