Hope and Change

Are you hoping for a change this November?

Well, then let's make it happen.  We are all working hard to elect Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan as the next president and vice president, but there are a number of critically important Senate races that need our attention too.

In these last critical days before Election Day, Patriot Voices PAC is asking you to help in these very close races.  A last minute influx of campaign cash can make the difference in a tight race so please make a donation to each candidate, or perhaps find one or two closest to where you are from and help them.  Every dollar counts.  Here's a quick recap of the closest races:

Todd Akin, Missouri
After all the attacks against Republican Congressman Akin, he is trailing Senator Claire McCaskill by only 2 points according to recent polls.  Donate to Todd Akin.

George Allen, Virginia
Current polls show Republican former Senator George Allen closing in on former Governor Tim Kaine.  This race will come down to just a few points.  Donate to George Allen.

Rick Berg, North Dakota
This race is important to Democrats and they are fighting hard to win it bringing in former President Bill Clinton to campaign for their nominee.  But recent polls show Republican Congressman Berg up by 2 points.  Donate to Rick Berg.

Deb Fischer, Nebraska
This is another race that could turn this seat from blue to red.  Republican State Senator Deb Fischer is 2 points ahead of Senator Bob Kerrey.  Donate to Deb Fischer.

Dean Heller, Nevada
Even though this is Harry Reid's backyard where Democrats have a tendency to pull out tough races, incumbent Republican Senator Dean Heller is up by 5 points against Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. Donate to Dean Heller.

Josh Mandel, Ohio
With Ohio being a key battleground for the Presidential race, Republican State Treasurer Josh Mandel is closing in on Democrat incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown.  Donate to Josh Mandel .

Richard Mourdock, Indiana 
While polls in this race have shown Republican Richard Mourdock up, tied and slightly behind his opponent, we know this race is winnable for Republicans.   Donate to Richard Mourdock. 

Denny Rehberg, Montana
Polls show Republican Congressman Rehberg and his opponent Senator Jon Tester neck and neck, with the most recent poll showing Rehberg up by 3 points.  Donate to Denny Rehberg

Tom Smith, Pennsylvania
Recent polls show Tom Smith within just a few points of Democrat Incumbent Bob Casey.  This is a big shift from when Casey was leading by 19 points just a few months ago.  Donate to Tom Smith .

In addition to giving directly to these candidates, please consider giving to Patriot Voices PAC  as we send hundreds of volunteers into battleground states to turn out conservative voters this coming weekend.  We are committed to making a difference in Tuesday's election.  If you hope to make a change next Tuesday, then join with us and support these candidates now. 

Game on,

Once again, President Obama has signed an unconstitutionally-expanded Executive Order giving himself kingship (See the Order:  http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/10/26/executive-order-establishing-white-house-homeland-security-partnership-c).  This new Executive Order unconstitutionally expands the Department of Homeland Security to be the all-encompassing and all-powerful United States authority which answers only to the President.  Mr. Obama claims his actions are being undertaken to stop terrorists, even though his previous actions have actually facilitated jihad inside the United States by prohibiting the criminal intent of jihad, even prohibiting the words "jihad" and "Islam," from being used in the investigation and prosecution of jihad crimes.  Therefore, jihadists can now merely claim their actions were accidents and their true intentions (Islamic jihad and the seditious enforcement of Shariah law) cannot be investigated or prosecuted as sedition, hate crimes against non-Muslims, or acts of war.  Yet, the Department of Homeland Security can, under this new Executive Order, restrict the constitutionally-protected civil liberties and rights of (United States) law-abiding citizens by directly subjecting them to its undefined and unlimited priorities.  This Executive Order establishes and mandates "partnerships" between the Department of Homeland Security and ALL state and local authorities (and even non-governmental agencies such as churches) in order to "support [non-defined] homeland security priorities."  President Obama has, in effect and right before the presidential election, voided the Unites States Constitution and made the United States Government a Communist entity. 

Since the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has been complicit with Mr. Obama's agenda and is not likely to do his job of investigating and prosecuting Mr. Obama for treason and violating his oath of office to "PRESERVE, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States," [Emphasis added], it is up to We the People to make Congress impeach, investigate, and prosecute him and repeal/make void all unconstitutional laws, governmental agency regulations, and Executive Orders.  It will not happen unless We the People unite and demand action.  United we stand, divided we fall.  www.impeachpresidentobama.weebly.com

WHATSRIGHTWITHOBAMA?

A Mom Asks: Should We Care What's Wrong with Obama?

By Kyle-Anne Shiver
Robin of Berkeley has provided a great summary of psychological speculation to answer a question now in the minds of some Americans: "What's wrong with Obama?" 
I suppose a few among us are still asking this question, as though the answer will undo a whit of the damage done. As a full-time mom, with 36 years of experience under my belt and a couple of model American adults now on my resume, I've stopped asking that question, however. In fact, from a mom's point of view, I'm much more prone, at this point, to be asking, "Should we care what's wrong with Obama?"
From the Dr. Mom perspective, as opposed to the therapist's paradigm, it's not hard to surmise that the boy, Barry Obama, was victimized by Murphy's Law of Character Development. Every single thing that could go wrong in the development of strong and upright character quite obviously did go wrong in Obama's childhood. To which, I might add, so what? He's a grown-up now. He ain't twelve anymore. And he has more than three hundred million real people to whom he owes a good day's work for a good day's pay. 
We did not go out and recruit Barack Obama to be our president. We did not find him by searching the country over for the most qualified man for this job. No, it was Barack Obama, owing to a character flaw the size of California -- a blaring lack of humility -- who put up his own name in contention for the presidency, when he had never held an executive position (not even a paper route, for crying out loud!) of any kind whatsoever, in the public or private sector. In fact, as I've said before, Barack Obama had a resume that would fit handily upon the back of a postage stamp, and it was pure, unbridled arrogance that prompted his candidacy. Sure, there were lots of giddy sycophants who egged him on, but at the end of the day, Barack Obama should have known better, should have given far more weight to the responsibility he was assuming. And the fact that he didn't know any better is owing to his own lack of character, which he has had every possible opportunity to develop in the years since he left home. 
It is Barack Obama, not his momma or his daddy or his grand-momma or his grand-daddy, who has to answer for the job he is doing now that he has secured the position he sought. 
While it is virtually impossible for anyone -- other than God -- to answer the question, "What's wrong with Obama?", it is completely within the realm of human observance to see that no matter where he came from or what kind of parents he had, Barack Obama's character is nothing short of reprehensible. 
Where he ought to be hardworking and industrious to the nth degree, he shows himself to be lazy. When he ought to be knuckling under, hard at work at his desk, hammering out decent solutions to the vast array of problems before him, he is partying hardy, having a merry ole time, trotting around the globe, playing golf, shooting backyard hoops, and opining on the latest controversial umpire's call in a baseball game. When it comes to actual governance, the only word this president knows is "delegate." When he ought to be consumed with fixing a national disaster in federal waters, which occurred in a federally regulated industry, the best he can come up with to even feign an I-do-really-give-a-darn work ethic is an emotionally contrived use of the A-word. 
Oh, please.  This is the kind of lazy, no-account attitude demonstrated by every panhandling bum on any street corner. His GQ dress code notwithstanding, Barack Obama has the work ethic of the welfare moms for whom he has shown his only real empathy to date. In a president, this character deficit is not only pitiful, but it is also downright despicable.
Does President Obama evince bedrock honesty, integrity, and a moral compass with all-American-value bearings? From every possible ordinary-citizen vantage point, Barack Obama appears to possess character deficits -- again, the size of California -- in every one of these essential-in-a-president qualities. And I'm so sorry for the bad hand Barry Obama was dealt in childhood, but that makes no difference now that he is an adult with the same accountability as every other adult on the planet.      
None of us get to choose our parents. None of us get the perfect childhood to which we all feel somehow entitled. None of us start adult life with all the tools we might wish to have in our little box of life skills. And none of us get to hand over a therapist's excuse-card when we inevitably meet the Big Guy and must account for how we have used the hand we were dealt and made the most of it on earth. 
None of what happened to the president in childhood, in my opinion, lets Barry off the accountability-hook as an adult. Because in spite of anyone's claim to the contrary, human beings do have free will; they can and do change all the time. 
For every therapist's doomsday prediction based on a model that claims some hurdles simply cannot be jumped, there are an infinite number of human beings who somehow do manage to not only jump those horrible-hand-in-life hurdles, but veritably speed to the finish line of life as though it were a walk in the park. History is replete with the inspiring stories of such individuals. We know such people, work with them, sup with them, worship with them. Some of us are those very exceptions to the rule. Many a would-be bum or serial killer or bomb-thrower has become a person of such outstanding character and achievement that it behooves all of us to humble ourselves before the indomitable human spirit. We are endowed by our Creator with abilities so profound that they remain as yet uncharted by modern mankind.
When Robin of Berkeley opines that the president will not change because he is incapable of change, owing to the truly horrible things that probably happened to him in childhood, she is not only ignoring the millions of exceptions to the arbitrary rules of therapists' expectations, but she is also diverting attention from the very real American calamity of this presidency. 
For the past forty years, America has gotten little more than hippie psychiatry from the mental health profession. The tired old flower-child mantras -- "If it feels good, do it," "Our hope is in dope," "All the world needs now is love," and "He just can't help himself" -- simply have not lived up to their cultural hype any more than Barack Obama has lived up to his. Trying to figure out -- from a distance, no less -- what is wrong with Obama is a fool's errand. Can the president change himself?  Of course he can. But we certainly cannot change him. The only person I can change is myself; that's human nature axiom #1. 
On the other hand, we are the parents in this governmental paradigm. We, the voters, hold all the authority under our Constitution. We may not be able to change Obama's character, but we can certainly hold him accountable for what happens on his watch. We can apply a great deal of parental pressure in the form of public demonstrations, letters, phone calls, and hounding the press for more accountability, and in this fashion, we can provide an incentive for the president to change his behavior. President Obama ought to be getting the message about now that he has fooled far too many for far too long, but that the accountability-buck has now landed squarely in his lap. Barack Obama is now beholden to three hundred million Americans, each of us holding an IOU for diligent service -- whether little Barry feels up to the job he took or not.
If Obama voters have any question now, the only one they should be asking is, "What's the matter with me?" Now, that is a question which lies within the power-province of every single man and woman who pulled the lever for this man. As the crises mount, as the president continues to preen and play, as the livelihoods of more and more Americans go up in economic smoke (or oil, as the case may be), I predict that even many liberals will rediscover their collective common sense and take much greater care the next time they cast a vote. 
No, we'll never know all that may be wrong with Obama or what caused his stubborn, willful refusal to acquire the strong character denied him in childhood. But I, for one, have begun to ask my Obama-voter acquaintances, even strangers who admit their vote and want to talk about it, "What were you thinking?" Civil confrontation is one of the best tools, available to every one of us, in helping Obama voters to come to grips with the enormity of their decision in the 2008 election.
Upon such idiotic decisions, great civilizations do indeed fall.
And in this Dr. Mom's opinion, that is the truly consequential lesson of the Obama presidency.

Another Obama Energy Dud

4063617987?profile=originalA123 Systems, a Massachusetts-based battery manufacturer, received $249 million from Barack Obama’s failed stimulus program.  At the time they received the money, A123 pledged that the nearly quarter-billion-dollar stimulus money would lead to the creation of thousands of new jobs.

Said company President David Vieau when the company opened a factory in Livonia, Mich., in 2010:

“Over the next several years, we expect to create thousands of jobs in Greater Detroit and plan to continue our expansion in the area as we do our part in helping the U.S. emerge as a global leader in the production of advanced lithium ion batteries.”

Like all stimulus recipients, reporting job creation statistics to Recovery.gov was required of A123 Systems.

Recent disclosures reveal only a few hundred positions were actually created before A123 Systems joined with $500 billion failure Solyndra to become part of the growing list of green energy companies which ended in bankruptcy after receiving federal stimulus funds.

The stimulus tracking database’ latest jobs report shows a mere seven positions were created by grant money from April 2012 to June 2012.  When all the reports are combined, since 2009, a grand total of 408 new positions have been created with the stimulus dollars.

 That works out to more than $300,000 per job.

How many families suffering the effects of the $50 billion dollar blow delivered by “super storm” Sandy could use some of that money?

Solyndra alone wasted ten times the amount of the estimated repair costs.

Four million people are still without power.

Speaking of power, all the people who have been living without heat or lighting for the past few days have been given a preview of how everyone in the United States will live if Obama is reelected and continues his disastrous energy policies.

The choice could not be simpler.

Sentence America to a new dark age (literally) or elect a new President Romney, who will develop domestic energy.  Not only will the U.S. be freed from the hostile grip of OPEC, the jobs created by development of domestic American energy cannot possibly be shipped overseas.

4063617923?profile=originalPatriots, we are still on the road on the Rebuild America Defeat Obama bus tour. It has been over a month and Mary really misses Sammy, our greyhound and Marilyn her cat. I miss Sammy, but not the cat.

Anyway, I was interviewed on the morning drive talk radio show, Inside Detroit with Mildred Gaddis. The liberal black host and her callers were pretty PO-ed at me for being a black man chairing the Campaign To Defeat Barack Obama.

They began the interview by airing our Barack Obama's Legacy of Failure ad. The host attacked me claiming that fact checkers confirm that our ad is full of lies. Of course, I defended our ad as being dead on target and that her so-called “fact-checkers” were Obama sycophant hacks. Well, things went down hill from there. Enraged callers chimed in with “Mr Marcus, I am sooooo angry at you!”

To their credit, we battled for three segments on the radio without the host or her furious callers calling me a “stupid n-----”, which normally happens when I challenge the left’s rhetoric. Still, the interview was quite heated and compelling. The producer wanted to keep me for a fourth segment but, I had to get ready for “bus call” to our first rally of the day in Kalamazoo, MI.

While sparing with the black host and her black callers, I received a revelation; truth and facts did not matter. They were so consumed in their racial bias that Obama’s black-skin trumps everything. I was blown away that they could not see the immorality of voting for Obama solely because he was black. The host called loyalty to Obama a matter of black pride. I got it. These racist people can not be changed. They simply must be defeated.


The host asked where the money came from for our TV ads. Talking about tossing me a softball, I proudly informed Mildred that our funding comes from “the people”, not the Republican party.


Originally, we planned to tour the country. But, polling convinced us that our efforts to get Romney/Ryan elected would best be served touring Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Iowa.


New polling data reaffirms the importance of these states including a new poll commissioned by the FOX TV affiliate in Detroit, Michigan which shows Mitt Romney has surged to a tie with Barack Obama in Michigan - it was only in September that Obama had led by 14 points:


I am proud to say that the efforts of our "Rebuild America - Defeat Obama" tour team has contributed to the Romney/Ryan surge. We have made several swings through the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of Michigan, airing TV ads, radio ads, publishing newspaper ads, and doing interviews with the press.


Here's one of the dozens of successful rallies we've held across Michigan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tew860atXpw


Part of the reason our efforts are having such a profound impact on Michigan is that Barack Obama's campaign and the Democratic National Committee have taken this state for granted - so much so that they haven't aired a single TV ad in the state during the 2012 general election for president: http://www.nationaljournal.com/hotline/ad-spending-in-presidential-battleground-states-20120620


When the producer of Inside Detroit requested an interview, I knew their goal was to discredit me and portray me as a traitorous black paid-off by the Republicans.


Candidly, I prayed before the interview asking God for wisdom to deliver whatever he wanted me to give listeners. Despite the host and callers ganging up on me, I am confident that somebody in Mildred's mostly black radio audience thought, “That man is right. It is racist to vote for Obama solely because he is black like me.”


I have peace that I was where I was supposed to be doing what God wanted me to do.
