Obama Quietly Launches New FEMA Youth Corps Division With 240 Inductees http://shar.es/4ZgR8
Obama is gathering counselors for Camp FEMA
Obama promised that he would create a civilian army in 2008 (see video below) that would eventually be as strong and as aggressive as the United States military. Here we see Step One towards accomplishing that goal.
FEMA Camps did not start under Obama, but he may be the leader under which people will begin to be placed in them.
RELATED STORY: Obama’s Private Army and FEMA Detention Camps
From FEMA.gov: VICKSBURG, Miss.– A historic new collaboration between two federal agencies to strengthen the nation’s disaster response capabilities was launched today as the nation’s first 240 FEMA Corps members were sworn into service at an induction ceremony in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Vicksburg, Miss., Sep. 13, 2012 — Image from the Induction Ceremony for the inaugural class of FEMA Corps members. FEMA Corps members assist with disaster preparedness, response, and recovery activities, providing support in areas ranging from working directly with disaster survivors to supporting disaster recovering centers to sharing valuable disaster preparedness and mitigation information with the public.
FEMA Corps is an innovative partnership between the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to enhance disaster response and recovery capacity while expanding career opportunities for young people.
Established as a new unit within the existing AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), FEMA Corps engages young adults ages 18 to 24 to provide ten months of full-time service on disaster response and recovery projects. Members will be deployed to assignments ranging from working directly with disaster survivors to supporting disaster recovery centers to sharing disaster response and mitigation information with the public.
At today’s induction ceremony, members of the inaugural FEMA Corps class took the AmeriCorps pledge to “get things done for America” and heard from agency leaders about the important work that lies ahead. FEMA Deputy Administrator Richard Serino and CNCS CEO Wendy Spencer were on hand to welcome the members and thank them for their commitment to service.
“When I visit communities devastated by disasters like Joplin, Mo., I always find members of AmeriCorps lending a helping hand to survivors,” said Serino. “Today’s inductees are taking part in an exciting new pursuit — combining the exceptional record of citizen service at AmeriCorps NCCC with FEMA’s specialized mission of supporting survivors with their recovery after a disaster. I commend and thank every member of the inaugural class of FEMA Corps for their dedication to helping communities in need.”
“I commend you for answering the call to serve and making a difference for people and communities in need,” said Spencer. “As the nation’s very first FEMA Corps members, you are helping write a new chapter in the history of national service. With your training, backed by your team, and inspired by your passion, you will bring much-needed hope and assistance to disasters survivors. As you help others, this year will help you – giving you skills, expanding your opportunities, and setting you on a lifelong path of service to others.”
Today’s induction ceremony marked the end of one month of AmeriCorps NCCC training and the start of FEMA position-specific training. After completing training this month, members will be deployed to their first assignments. FEMA Corps will supplement FEMA’s existing Reservist workforce in assisting citizens and communities who have been impacted by disasters.
After completing 1,700 hour of service, FEMA Corps members will receive a $5,550 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award to pay for tuition or pay student loans. Members will gain significant training and experience in disaster services that can serve as a pathway to employment in the emergency management profession.
FEMA Corps members will be based out of five AmeriCorps NCCC campuses across the country: Sacramento, Calif.; Denver, Colo.; Vinton, Iowa; Perry Point, Md.; and, Vicksburg, Miss. The program will engage 1,600 members annually when fully operational next year. source – FEMA
Have you heard of the "Great Outdoors Initiative"? Chances are, you haven't.
But across the country, White House officials have been meeting quietly with environmental groups to map out government plans for acquiring untold millions of acres of both public and private land. It's another stealthy power grab through executive order that promises to radically transform the American way of life.
In April, President Obama issued a memorandum outlining his "21st century strategy for America's great outdoors." It was addressed to the interior secretary, the agriculture secretary, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency and the chair of the Council on Environmental Quality.
The memo calls on the officials to conduct "listening and learning sessions" with the public to "identify the places that mean the most to Americans, and leverage the support of the Federal Government" to "protect" outdoor spaces. Eighteen of 25 planned sessions have already been held. But there's much more to the agenda than simply "reconnecting Americans to nature."
The federal government, as the memo boasted, is the nation's "largest land manager." It already owns roughly one of every three acres in the United States.
This is apparently not enough. At a "listening session" in New Hampshire last week, government bureaucrats trained their sights on millions of private forest land throughout the New England region. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack crusaded for "the need for additional attention to the Land and Water Conservation Fund -- and the need to promptly support full funding of that fund."
Property owners have every reason to be worried. The Land and Water Conservation Fund is a pet project of green radicals, who want the decades-old government slush fund for buying up private lands to be freed from congressional appropriations oversight. It's paid for primarily with receipts from the government's offshore oil and gas leases.
Both Senate and House Democrats have included $900 million in full LWCF funding, not subject to congressional approval, in their energy/BP oil spill legislative packages. The Democrats have also included a provision in these packages that would require the federal government to take over energy permitting in state waters, which provoked an outcry from Texas state officials, who sent a letter of protest to Capitol Hill last month:
"In light of federal failures, it is incomprehensible that the United States Congress is entertaining proposals that expand federal authority over oil and gas drilling in state water and lands long regulated by states. ... Given the track record, putting the federal government in charge of energy production on state land and waters not only breaks years of successful precedent and threatens the 10th Amendment to the United Sates Constitution, but it also undermines common sense and threatens the environmental and economy security of our state's citizens."
This power grab, masquerading as a feel-good, all-American recreation program, comes on top of a separate, property-usurping initiative exposed by GOP Rep. Robert Bishop and Sen. Jim DeMint earlier this spring.
According to an internal, 21-page Obama administration memo, 17 energy-rich areas in 11 states have been targeted as potential federal "monuments." The lives of coyotes, deer and prairie dogs would be elevated above states' needs to generate jobs, tourism business and energy solutions.
Take my home state of Colorado. The Obama administration is considering locking up some 380,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management land and private land in Colorado under the 1906 Antiquities Act.
The Vermillion Basin and the Alpine Triangle would be shut off to mining, hunting, grazing, oil and gas development, and recreational activities. Alan Foutz, president of the Colorado Farm Bureau, blasted the administration's meddling: "Deer and elk populations are thriving, and we in Colorado don't need help from the federal government in order to manage them effectively."
Indeed, the feds have enough trouble as it is managing the vast amount of land they already control. As the D.C.-based Americans for Limited Government group, which defends private property rights, points out:
"The [National Park Service] claims it would need about $9.5 billion just to clear its backlog of the necessary improvements and repairs. At a time when our existing national parks are suffering, it doesn't make sense for the federal government to grab new lands."
The bureaucrats behind Obama's "Great Outdoors Initiative" plan on wrapping up their public comment solicitation by Nov. 15. The initiative's taxpayer-funded web site (http://ideas.usda.gov/ago/ideas.nsf/) has been dominated by left-wing environmental activists proposing human population reduction, private property confiscation, and gun bans, hunting bans and vehicle bans in national parks.
It's time for private property owners to send their own loud, clear message to the land-hungry feds: Take a hike.

Dear Sir,
I am concerned. Sen. Kerry was fined for taking money for his reelection Sen. campaign from China.
In 1996 Kerry met with Liu Chaoying, the daughter of a powerful Chinese military official who also doubled as vice president of a subsidiary of the state-owned China Aerospace Corp.
Before the meeting, held in Kerry's Senate office, Liu's sponsor, Johnny Chung, made clear she was interested in getting her company listed on the U.S. Stock Exchange.
The Democratic presidential front-runner was only too happy to oblige and ordered his aides to contact the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"The next day," reports Newsweek, "Liu and Chung were ushered into a private briefing with a senior SEC official."
Within weeks, Chung returned the favor, staging a Kerry fund raiser at a Beverly Hills hotel that raked in $10,000 for the senator's re-election campaign.
Bank records would later show that Kerry's Chinese campaign cash came from $300,000 in overseas wire transfers sent to Chung on orders from the chief of Chinese military intelligence, Newsweek reports.
The money was routed through a Hong Kong bank account controlled by Liu, whose company later benefited from waivers granted by the Clinton administration to the U.S. aerospace giant Loral Corp.
As Liu and Chung were lining the pockets of the Democratic Party's political elite, Loral handed over top-secret missile guidance technology to Liu's firm.
Liu's China Aerospace used the information to perfect Beijing's fleet of intercontinental ballistic missiles, which before the 1990s could not strike the U.S.
By the end of the decade, however, China's ICBMs could reach the entire continental United States with pinpoint accuracy, thanks in part to the senator who says now he can be trusted with America's national security.
Chung later testified that before Liu wired him the cash to contribute to prominent Democrats, the chief of Chinese intelligence personally told him: "We like your president. We want to see him re-elected."
Apparently, Beijing felt the same way about Sen. John Kerry.
Sen. Kerry also held meetings with the Vietnam in Paris when we WERE AT WAR.
LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS RELATING TO THE WAR IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1971
UNITED STATES SENATE;
COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS,
Washington, D.C.
The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 11:05 a.m., in Room 4221, New Senate Office Building, Senator J. W. Fulbright (Chairman) presiding.
Present: Senators Fulbright, Symington, Pell, Aiken, Case, and Javits.
The CHAIRMAN. Do you support or do you have any particular views about any one of them you wish to give the committee?
Mr. KERRY. My feeling, Senator, is undoubtedly this Congress, and I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but I do not believe that this Congress will, in fact, end the war as we would like to, which is immediately and unilaterallyand, therefore, if I were to speak I would say we would set a date and the date obviously would be the earliest possible date. But I would like to say, in answering that, that I do not believe it is necessary to stall any longer. I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government and of all eight of Madam Binh's points it has been stated time and time again, and was stated by Senator Vance Hartke when he returned from Paris, and it has been stated by many other officials of this Government, if the United States were to set a date for withdrawal the prisoners of war would be returned.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN ANY SUPPORT AS SEC. OF STATE FOR SEN. KERRY who openly took funding from China & who at a time of war had meetings & negotiations with the enemy?
Sincerely,
Why has the Department of Homeland Security recently ordered a total of 1.2 billion bullets, the majority of which are hollow points and buckshot? What are they preparing for? Civil war? Economic Collapse? A combination of the two? These kinds of bullets are not used for target practice.

Let's stop BS-ing and tell the truth. Those of us who support abortion will answer on judgement day to their Creator.
Executive Order
Executive orders are regulations issued by the President. Provided that they are based either on his constitutional powers or laws passed by Congress, they have the force of law. Federal courts will enforce them just as if they had been enacted by Congress, provided that they do not conflict with federal laws. An executive order that carries out a law may later be revoked by new legislation. An executive order can be nullified, or canceled, if the Supreme Court or lower federal courts find that it is unconstitutional. For instance, in 1952 the Supreme Court ruled that President Harry Truman's seizure of the steel mills during the Korean War violated the due process clause of the Constitution because the President had seized property without being given statutory authority by Congress.
Executive orders are filed in the Department of State after the President issues them. Between 1789 and 1907 Presidents issued approximately 2,400 such orders. Since 1907 the orders have been filed chronologically, and each is given a number, with more than 13,000 numbered between 1908 and 1991.
The first executive order, issued by George Washington on June 8, 1789, instructed the heads of departments to make a “clear account” of matters in their departments. Since then, the orders have been used to regulate the civil service, to determine holidays for federal workers, to recognize federal employee unions, to institute security programs, and to classify government documents as top secret or secret. They have been used to designate public lands as Indian reservations and for environmental protection. They are also used to organize federal disaster assistance efforts. Executive orders have been used by each President beginning with Dwight Eisenhower to organize the intelligence agencies at the beginning of his term in office and to set up other aspects of White House operations.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt used executive orders to create agencies without going through Congress. In 1944 Congress prohibited funding such agencies. In 1968 Congress prohibited the creation of Presidential commissions, councils, or study groups that were not authorized by Congress. President Richard Nixon tried to dismantle several agencies by executive order. This action was blocked by the federal courts because Congress had not abolished them by law.
Executive orders have been used to assert Presidential war powers in the Civil War and all subsequent wars. Franklin Roosevelt seized defense plants to ensure production of aircraft in World War II. He also used a series of executive orders to establish a curfew for Japanese Americans on the West Coast, to exclude them from certain areas, and finally, to intern them in camps in the desert until 1944.
Executive orders have often been used for civil rights enforcement. Harry Truman issued an executive order in 1948 ending racial segregation in the armed forces. John Kennedy issued an executive order banning racial discrimination in newly constructed public housing and another banning pay discrimination against women by federal contractors. He issued orders prohibiting racial discrimination in federally funded libraries, hospitals, and other public facilities. Richard Nixon required government contractors to institute affirmative action hiring programs for women and members of minority groups.

Originally, executive orders based their legitimacy on Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which contains the phrase "he [the President of the United States] shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." This phrase was interpreted as a management tool, a way for the president to enforce Congress's wishes. Almost immediately, presidents tried to widen the scope of the short phrase. For instance, George Washington proclaimed a "neutrality order" that declared that Americans must not be involved in disputes between foreign countries; this was not the execution of a law but the creation of a law.
Even though they chafed under the constitutional restriction in Article II, presidents found ways to abide by its spirit until the presidency of Andrew Jackson (1829–1837). Perhaps the most controversial of Jackson's actions was to order the forcible removal of the Cherokees from their homes in Georgia and North Carolina to the Oklahoma Territory.
At the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War in 1861, Congress granted President Abraham Lincoln wide latitude in running the government. Although Lincoln overstepped constitutional boundaries, by and large Lincoln's executive orders were upheld in federal courts because of the national crisis. It was Lincoln who began numbering executive orders, with number 1 being signed on 20 October 1862.
In the 1880s another form of executive order was created, in addition to the constitutional one: in civil service legislation, Congress said that it was up to the president to fill in the details of implementing the legislation. Thus, an executive order could depend on the president's interpretation of the legislation, and it would have the force of law. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was also allowed great latitude with executive orders during the Great Depression and World War II. By FDR's time a president could seize property and control communication. FDR used these powers to order the internment of Japanese subjects and Japanese Americans who lived in the Pacific states.
By President Richard Nixon's era (1969–1974), Congress had left enough holes in legislation for presidents to make executive orders in peacetime that had farreaching effects on America. Nixon used executive orders to implement affirmative action, including declaring ethnic quotas on hiring and in the awarding of government contracts.
President Bill Clinton used executive orders to circumvent a hostile Congress on issues such as environmental laws. His most controversial order, with incalculable consequences, was probably Executive Order 13083 on 14 May 1998 "establishing the principles and foundations of federalism," which grants the federal government powers forbidden by the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. Executive orders become laws when published in the Federal Register, as this one was on 18 May 1998.

It seems Oklahoma’s fine senior senator once again has no qualms about telling We the People how stupid we are and how wonderful he is. With the “fiscal cliff” vote, in which he voted for the measure after taking an entire three minutes to peruse the 154 pages contained within, Senator Bullcrap took a great deal of criticism from local talk radio. Tulsa radio station KFAQ’s Pat Campbell Show listeners were highly critical. As a frequent listener I find Campbell to be very fiscally conservative and more moderate on social issues. Senator Bullcrap didn’t appreciate the criticism so he called the Pat Campbell Show to “explain himself”, and how important it was to vote for this travesty (http://www.1170kfaq.com/podcasts/patcampbell/185414432.html). He proceeded to explain how We the People benefitted because had the measure not passed taxes would have gone up a whole lot more than they did on a lot more people that they did and that he “protected” 98% of said We the People by making the 2001 and 2003 tax rates permanent for most Americans (chant the party line, blah, blah, blah). If you take a good look at whose taxes aren’t going up and whose are going up you see a very different story than is being bandied about by both sides. Warren Buffett and Donald Trump came out just fine, thank you!!! As did Hollywood and the typical Democrat money groups!!! Oh, and spending is still going up.

I was reading my Facebok this A.M. when I ran across something that shows what "they" are up to:
Thursday, January 10, 2013
Please read this and share, we need to get the word out ASAP. http://beforeitsnews.com/survival/2013/01/dhs-insider-report-coming-this-spring-life-for-the-average-american-is-going-to-change-significantly-6-2455740.html?currentSplittedPage=0
SHTFplan Editor’s Note: The following interview is both informative and terrifying, and essential reading for anyone concerned about what comes next.
What the DHS Insider suggests is about to happen is exactly what many of us fear – a police state takeover of America, with urban centers to be pacified first, all outspoken critics of the government to be silenced, and travel restrictions across the United States to come shortly thereafter.
The dollar collapse, riots, the mobilization of domestic law enforcement, gun control, rationing of food and gas, suspension of the U.S. Constitution and a complete lock-down of America as we know it. According to the report, sinister forces within the U.S. government operating at the highest levels of our country’s political, financial, intelligence and military hierarchies have set into motion a series of events that will leave the populace so desperate for government intervention that they’ll willingly surrender their liberty for the perceived security of a militarized police state.
Interviewer Doug Hagmann cites an anonymous source operating deep inside the Department of Homeland Security, which may leave many skeptical of the accuracy of the reports. But the fact is, were such events being planned behind the scenes we certainly wouldn’t be given official mainstream warning. If real, the report is a game changer, and it makes sense that anyone privy to such information would want to keep their identity hidden. Whistle blowers in America who expose the corruption of officials in our government are treated not as patriots, but as traitors, and are often branded as psychos or terrorists.
What’s most alarming is the speed at which these events may play out.
The latest from “DHS Insider” (This is the complete interview from The Hagmann and Hagmann Report)
Introduction
23 December 2012: After a lengthy, self-imposed informational black-out, my high-level DHS contact known as “Rosebud” emerged with new, non-public information about plans being discussed and prepared for implementation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the near future. It is important to note that this black-out was directly related to the aggressive federal initiative of identifying and prosecuting “leakers,” at least those leaks and leakers not sanctioned by the executive office – the latter of which there are many.
Due to those circumstances, my source exercised an abundance of caution to avoid compromising a valuable line of communication until he had information he felt was significant enough to risk external contact. The following information is the result of an in-person contact between this author and “Rosebud” within the last 48 hours. With his permission, the interview was digitally recorded and the relevant portions of the contact are provided in a conversational format for easier reading. The original recording was copied onto multiple discs and are maintained in secure locations for historical and insurance purposes.
Meeting
The following began after an exchange of pleasantries and other unrelated discussion:
DH: Do I have your permission to record this conversation?
RB: You do.
DH: I’ve received a lot of e-mail from people wondering where you went and why you’ve been so quiet.
RB: As I told you earlier, things are very dicey. Weird things began to happen before the election and have continued since. Odd things, a clampdown of sorts. I started looking and I found [REDACTED AT THE REQUEST OF THIS SOURCE], and that shook me up. I’m not the only one, though, that found a [REDACTED], so this means there’s surveillance of people within DHS by DHS. So, that explains this cloak and dagger stuff for this meeting.
DH: I understand. What about the others?
RB: They are handling it the same way.
DH: I’ve received many e-mails asking if you are the same person giving information to Ulsterman. Are you?
RB: No, but I think I know at least one of his insiders.
DH: Care to elaborate?
RB: Sorry, no.
DH: Do you trust him or her. I mean, the Ulsterman source?
RB: Yes.
Obama ends restrictions on Saudis entering U.S., 60% increase since 2010
Posted on January 9, 2013 by creeping
And the rate will increase in 2013. Or as Infidel Bloggers Alliance more aptly titles their post, Obama Regime Ends Post-9/11 Restrictions On Wahhabis Entering U.S. From Saudi Arabia. Almost all the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi’s. via World Tribune
ABU DHABI — The United States, a decade after Al Qaida strikes in New York and Washington, has opened its doors to Saudi nationals.
Diplomats said the administration of President Barack Obama has removed most restrictions on the entry of Saudis to the United States. They said the percentage of visa approvals for Saudis has reached unprecedented levels.
“The United States aims to raise the number of visas that it issues annually, particularly to Saudi nationals, who represent an important group,” Joseph Hood, U.S. consul-general in the Saudi city of Dhahran, said.
Hood cited economic reasons for the easing of restrictions on Saudis. He said Saudi businessmen and students have been allowed to enter the United States in record numbers, with a 60 percent increase since 2010.
“They form a large segment of travelers to the United States, while they also represent an important economic factor,” Hood said. “In addition, Saudi Arabia also sends a large number of students to the United States, and the number of Saudi students in the United States rivals those from India.”
The U.S. consulate in Dhahran reported issuing 100 visas per day to Saudis. In 2012, the total number of visas reached 21,000, nearly 30 percent of which went to Saudi students or their relatives. About 15,000 Americans were reported to be based in Saudi Arabia’s oil-rich Eastern Province.
The administration decision came amid a series of incidents in which Saudis were implicated in criminal and security offenses. In February 2011, a Saudi student was arrested on charges of plotting to bomb the home of former President George Bush in Texas. Diplomats said more than 70,000 Saudis were registered as studying in the United States.
Earlier this month, a sergeant in the Royal Saudi Air Force was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in Las Vegas. Mazen Alotaibi was identified as a member of a U.S. training program of Saudi military personnel at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland near San Antonio, Texas.
Sexual assault? More like kidnap and rape: Alotaibi later told police he offered the boy money for sex, and when he refused, he raped the boy…He first denied allegations, but later admitted he “put his penis in his mouth for just a couple of seconds” and his penis “accidentally” went into the boy’s rectum.
But diplomats said the rate and process of approvals would be enhanced in 2013. They said the United States has approved more than 95 percent of visa applications for Saudi Arabia. Those rejected were told they had provided insufficient documentation.
“The consulate has gotten rid of many of the negativities that occasionally contributed to the delay in the visa application process, including the language factor, hiring staff that excel in speaking Arabic and English to facilitate our dealings with visa applicants, especially those who aren’t fluent in English, particularly as it is mandatory for all visa applicants to be interviewed,” Hood was quoted by the Saudi media as telling a news conference in December.
There is one party in the U.S. government and it is undeniably broken, corrupt and tyrannical and does not represent the American people in the slightest manner. A new party is needed. But as was written several hundred years ago, “all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

In response to current threats from the Federal Government on banning firearms, firearms accessories and ammunition, States are beginning to take action to hold the Federal Government to its constitutional limits under the 2nd Amendment. “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.”
Wyoming Rep. Kendell Kroeker has sponsored and introduced HB0104. the Firearms Protection Act. Representatives Baker, Burkhart, Jaggi, Miller, Piiparinen, Reeder and Winters and Senators Dockstader and Hicks have co-sponsered this bill.
Wyoming’s Firearms Protection Act, is “an act relating to firearms; providing that any federal law which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming; providing a penalty; and providing for an effective date.” This act nullifies all federal laws made after Jan. 1, 2013.
“We need the second amendment because it is the protection for all of our other rights. Without it, those rights have no protection,” Kroeker said.
Passage of the bill is more than a statement; it’s a line in the sand: Wyoming will not let its citizens be intimidated by federal laws. “No public servant…or dealer selling any firearm in this state shall enforce or attempt to enforce any act, law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States government relating to a personal firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition that is owned or manufactured commercially or privately in Wyoming and that remains exclusively within the borders of Wyoming.”
Beyond such statements, the bill backs things up with some teeth by providing for criminal charges for federal agents who attempt to violate the proposed state law:
“Any official, agent or employee of the United States government who enforces or attempts to enforce any act, order, law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States government upon a personal firearm, a firearm accessory or ammunition that is owned or manufactured commercially or privately in Wyoming and that remains exclusively within the borders of Wyoming shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, shall be subject to imprisonment for not less than one (1) year and one (1) day or more than five (5) years, a fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), or both.”
Also, the attorney general may defend a Wyoming citizen against the Federal Government against any ban or law infringing on the right to bear arms.
The right to keep and bear arms is under threat. In a Politico article, Vice President Biden stated, “the president is going to act. There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet, but we’re compiling it all … as well as legislative action, we believe, is required.”
Executive orders(EO) were never meant to let the executive branch bypass congress and create laws. Article 1 Section 8 says, “the Congress shall have power…to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.”

ISLAM IN TEXAS SCHOOLS
WHY CAN'T PARENTS SEE THE CURRICULUM?
WHY ARE THERE NO TEXTBOOKS?
WHY CAN'T TEACHERS DISCLOSE THE CONTENT?
(BE SURE TO WATCH BOTH SHORT VIDEOS BELOW)
Many Texas public school superintendents have thrown aside text books and bought, at great expense to the local taxpayers, an unproven curriculum called CSCOPE. DOES YOUR SCHOOL USE IT..CHECK HERE.
Teachers we are here to help you. We have an attorney on our side if you want to speak out and are afraid to. You must not lose your voice in the Progressive/Marxist take over of our Texas Education System. Many of us spoke before the SBOE against Cscope in hopes of exposing it.
Matt Patrick, radio host from Houston was able to give some airtime to Cscope yesterday twice. Here is a audio to the broadcast.
Cscope's learning theory is based on
Lev Vygotsky marxist views.
CSCOPE was never approved by our Texas State Board of Education, nor subjected to public review. What is in the CSCOPE lessons that warrants superintendents gagging their teachers? Why are teachers so scared to speak out against Cscope in fear of losing their jobs?
How damaging could CSCOPE lessons be for teachers to be coerced into signing a non-disclosure agreement? Teachers are not even allowed to reveal the content of CSCOPE lessons to parents.
If children are not using textbooks and the content of CSCOPE lessons cannot be shared with parents, how can parents be involved in the education of their children? Are parents forbidden to visit classrooms to prevent their viewing CSCOPE material being used?
There are lessons indoctrinating children with Islam and verses of the Quran along with the United Nations Agenda.
The following is an excerpt out of a World History Lesson in High School....notice that they promote a loving kinder Islam..
Background Information:
In 622, Islam arose in the Middle East and quickly filled the void of power left from the weakened Persian and Byzantine Empires. Emerging from the Arabian Peninsula by an Arabic religious and military leader, Muhammad began an Islamic Empire that soon expanded from the Arabian Peninsula, into Mesopotamia, beyond Syria and across northern Africa into the Iberian (Spain) Peninsula. Through Muhammad and his successors, Islam quickly expanded beyond the Arabian Peninsula as its military machine took advantage of the vacuum of power in its quest for goods. As the Islamic empire expanded into land occupied by “non-believers”, the Muslims exhibited remarkable tolerance of other peoples’ customs, tradition, and religion. Outside of their own community of believers they did not feel that religious solidarity was an essential element of rule and order of an empire, an idea that was very revolutionary of the time. Despite their high level of tolerance they did rapidly and ruthlessly expand their empire until they resorted to a more peaceful and economical means of acquiring wealth and power by taking advantage of natural trade routes that incorporated the exchange of most of Asian and European goods and with this exchange of that enabled cross- cultural influences throughout its region. It was during this time that Islam experienced its “Golden Age,” a period of time in which Islam achieved its greatest artistic, scientific and technological innovations. Despite their successes, the Islamic Caliphates could not avoid the emergence of factions resulting from infighting over Islamic Orthodoxy, tradition and succession of power among competing leaders. In the end the Caliphate succumbed to the typical pressure of maintaining a large Empire.
How can parents keep their children safe if they are not allowed to view instructional materials used by a school?
Is the objective of CSCOPE to wedge out parent involvement?
Do public school superintendents have the legal right to force teachers to not reveal content of lessons? Perhaps it is time to call for public scrutiny of CSCOPE and demand answers to these questions.

This is a video of me speaking before the Willis ISD school board. I pointed out to the school board and audience things that many parents and administrators are not aware of.
The individual who spoke after me presented herself as just a "mom" who could only sing her praises and love of Cscope. She seemed irate that I brought attention to the fallacies of Cscope. I watched in amazement why supposedly just a "concerned mom" would be so offended by my comments. Well, the truth is she isn't just a concerned mom in the district she is actually Linday McCulloch, Cscope Coordinator from ESC VI. SHE SOLD THE CURRICULUM TO WILLIS ISD. No wonder the supposedly concerned mom is irate.
Watch her video Here.

CSCOPE, WHAT IS BEHIND THE CURTAIN, PART I
CSCOPE, WHAT IS BEHIND THE CURTAIN PART II
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. These words where spoken many years ago when our nation faced an enemy. Today they ring just as true.
Not all of us can write eloquent letters. Not all of us can organize events and rallies, not all of us can afford to support the movement but with all of us we can get the job done.
There is many things that needs to be done and its not always clear who our enemy is for the term liberal encompasses a wide range of people but not all Democrats are liberals. Our enemy is deeply entrenched and they operate with evil at their sides. They will lie in a heart beat to further their agenda. They will ignore your rights for they are meaningless to them in comparison to what they “feel” the way things should be. They have taken over the government, they own the media, and they have control of the schools.
Things are looking grim for us but there is lots we can do yet. Spend 15 minutes watching your most hated liberal news outlet and write down all the advertisers you see. Contact them, even with a simple email and tell them as long as they support the biased media you will be boycotting their product. Contact the liberal media itself and tell them you are contacting their sponsors to inform them that you are boycotting their products as long as they are an advertiser with them and that you will continue to do this as long as they want to only report biased liberal news.
If you are an organizer then plan Tea Party local events and discuss this war from a domestic enemy that has been declared on our constitution. Discuss what people can do to help in the fight against our enemies the liberals whom are trying to take our freedoms away.
Get yourself some Tea party T-shirts and wear them proudly. Discuss with your friends, your acquaintances, a stranger you meet on the street about what is going on. Be friendly and factual for many believes CNN is telling the truth. Open their eyes to the truth but do it while being friendly and offering the hand of friendship for they too might be a patriot and just don’t know it yet.
Contact your elected officials from the township officers all the way to the ones elected to represent you in Washington. Let them know what you think and how you feel. Contact them often and then contact them some more. Get the message across.
What can you do for your country? A lot more than you can believe. Lets get busy.
All:
It is time to do more than talk. Sadly I have watched my country erode away from the onslaught of the Most Selfish Generation ever since I returned from Vietnam in the 60s. I propose that we target an ECONOMIC BOYCOTT immediately. It can be done by focusing in on an area of the economy that will hurt the extremists. Not just a single left-leaning store, but rather an entire industry. Perhaps computers / electronics industry (Silicon Valley)? Automobile industry? Entertainment? It must be FOCUSED, PLANNED, ORGANIZED well, PROMOTED and ENFORCED with at least social pressure. Not a single or list of companies -- too 'small potatos' or confusing. Perhaps a ROLLING boycott where we do a handful of industries and focus for a few months on one before moving to another. BOYCOTT is a reasonable, serious step to assert REAL ECONOMIC POWER before it becomes necessary to take to more militant power levels.
This is where a "Tea Party" leadership must emerge. There is no doubt that I have observed a lack of clear leaders -- it is time to ORGANIZE before these communist nazi people gain greater control than they have already rangled.
Piers Morgan should have been deported long ago. Alex Jones is right. Jones is an American patriot who is trying to awaken the SHEEPLE about the conspiracy of evil people who want to take total control of America. It would not surprise me if the CFR and/or the Bilderbergers hired Morgan along with a slew of other quisling-like characters to convince the SHEEPLE to abandon their guns. Again Jones is right in that most every country that took away the arms of the people ended up killing tens of thousands of their own people and in the case of China over 60 million Chinese people were led to the slaughter houses and most likely killed with guns. Let us face facts. There is a dark side of some/many people, who if they believe that they can get away with slaughtering the innocent, they will do it. Proof of that is the murder of over one billion helpless, innocent pre-born babies throughout the world. In this country alone the number is 50+ million innocent babies. If Americans willingly give up their right to own guns in order to not only hunt but to protect themselves from foreign and internal tyranny they are damn fools. Now the President is attempting to ban some portion of weaponry through the use of his executive powers despite the 2nd ammendment. This is the beginning of the slippery slope. The bottome of that slope in the out years would be total gun control.; There goes another ax strike against the U.S. Constitutional Tree by your friendly, well meaning and stupid liberals. What these dumbos don't understand is that when and if a tyrannical group of politicos take control of the the country these dumbos will be the very first group of people they will eradicate. Why? Because the dumbos thought they were doing good while the evil ones pushing and funding them will have no more use for them and won't want to have to deal with their complaints and rebellion about the forthcoming tyranny. The problem with these gun banners who think they are doing good is that they were asleep during their history classes or that they have been taught revisionist history (history retold by liars and deceivers) in order for these evil goups to push their evil agendae of total control of the SHEEPLE (people who have become like sheep). Those of you who are for gun control should read the history of communism from its beginnings back in the 1860's. I believe that would be enough to enlighten you about how evil some people can get in order to get control of a country. The evil ones will tell you that they want to rebuild a PEACEFUL world, i.e., a world without violence, assuming that guns kill people ...not people kill people. Sounds good...doesn't it. Today I heard on the news that a character on the west coast tried to kill his girl friend with his dredlocks (long hair running down his back). The liberals purposely deny that people kill people. I wonder what in the heck they are smoking? What about the truck bomb that went off somewhere in the mid west years ago that killed a whole bunch of people in a government building. He and his comrads seems to have done more damage with a bomb than any gun or guns. The liberals refuse to understand and don't want to understand that their very liberal culture of drugs, liberal sex, do your own thing mentality, etc. is the very cause of most of violence. People who follow the 10 Commandments and have developed a finely honed conscience which by the way is increasingly honed each and every Sunday when they attend Church don't resort to violence but resort to the most powerful force on the earth and that my friend is PRAYER. It was that force in the hands of our beloved first president George Washington and the signers of the Constitution that understood the potential tyranny of evil people and how best to control that evil through the right to bear arms. They studied history and lots of it. They understood what had happened to countries and civilizations during the past several thousands of years. They understood how people could and would lose their rights as citizens to be free through the evil tyranny of some who want total control of the SHEEPLE. AMERICANS NEED TO WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
Obama has become the “executive order” president. Circumventing the congress, picking and choosing what laws he will and will not enforce; he is becoming a tyrannical ruler, an imperial president.
He is imposing arbitrary and unrestrained exercise of power, and despotic abuse of authority upon the American people. The congress seems to be unable or unwilling to seriously challenge his trespassing beyond what the constitution allows.
As he becomes more and more emboldened to taking complete control, he must realize the need to take away guns from a people who’ve known freedom all their lives and eventually will not tolerate his becoming a monarch.

Texas is made up of 20 Education Service Centers. 19 of the Texas Education Service Centers (ESC) joined ranks and formed Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC) which owns Cscope. T
For reason's unknown at the time ESC #4 did not buy into the Collaborative.
Below you will find photos and information on the Board of Directors of TESCCC. Though TESCCC owns Cscope many other individuals are behind and supporting it. Texas has 2 RINO State Board of Education members that are in full support of Cscope, Thomas Ratliff and Patricia Hardy.
Cscope is molded after Obama's Common Core Curriculum. Common Core Curriculum is promoted by Education adviser to Obama,Humanist Linda Darling Hammond who is also associated with Communist William (Bill) Ayers. Hammond is a frequent guest speaker at Cscope Conferences. Texas Associtation of School Adminstrators (TASA) is gearing up to attend the American Association of School Adminstrators (AASA) in California in Feb. to hear Linda Darling Hammond speak on the Common Core.
