ACTION

Everyone who pays any attention to the news knows the name Solyndra. It has become synonymous with the overall failed green energy program administered by the Obama team. Politicos know there are many other companies that have received loan guarantees for various green energy projects that have since become a source of ridicule for the White House. Some might even be able to name a few. There is the now-bankrupt company that made batteries for electric cars: Ener1. The plug-in electric sports car company, Fisker, that made its cars in Finland and has troubles too numerous to cite. And, of course, we know about the Chevy Volt—that our taxpayer dollars bailed out only to have demand so low that Chevrolet had to pull the plug on the production line and lay off workers for five weeks earlier this year. But few know the full story.

Connecting the dots will make your head hurt. There are various programs and special tax breaks and different kinds of companies that received green energy loans: solar, wind, and geothermal; and car companies, battery manufacturers, and biofuel producers. While the projects differ, they have several startling similarities. The vast majority of the green energy loan guarantees were given to companies that could not obtain enough financial backing from private investors. Their “junk” or “speculative” grade kept people from putting their own money into them —yet your money and mine was given to them, and we had no say in the matter. Of the 27 loans issued through the 1705 Loan Guarantee Program to 21 firms, virtually all of them have “connections” to either President Obama or other high-ranking Democrats—or both! The loans were made to fill a market created not by free-market demand, but by government mandates. And, all of the “special seven” got fast-tracked approvals through the Department of Interior with little scrutiny over environmental damages that would have taken any other energy company months, if not years, to get, and EPA regulations were applied selectively.

Many of the companies that received the funds had involvement with large donors and/or bundlers for the Obama campaign, and there is an amazing revolving door through which the players pass many times. They worked, for example, for Senator Harry Reid. Then they are on the staff of an investment firm that invested in one, or more, of the companies. Next you find he or she is on some White House commission—or worse, became part of the Obama Department of Energy team. Some 460 companies applied for DOE loans, but only 27 projects, 21 companies, got the funds. And 85% of these have been found to have “connections.” The remaining 15% may well have connections too, albeit more guarded or hidden.

These are not wild assertions. I have the data to back them up.

Following the publication of my column a couple of weeks ago on crony capitalism, I was connected with Christine Lakatos. She’s a private citizen and a single mom with a nose for research. Beginning in 2009, she was hired to work on investigative projects, following the green energy money. But when those projects were completed, she didn’t stop digging. She kept finding more and more. With no outlet for her work, she started a blog where she “brain dumps” her findings—which for a total unknown has received an impressive number of readers. For anyone but the most stalwart, her Green Corruption Blog is like getting a drink of water from a fire hydrant.

On Sunday, some of Lakatos’ research was presented in my weekly column. The response prompted us to begin a collaboration.

For each of the next 17 weeks, we will expose one green-energy, crony-corruption story after another (though my travel schedule may require me to skip a week here and there). It will be a “book” released chapter-by-chapter. If you like what you find, we hope you’ll let us know and come back the following week for the next installment.

Some single stories of what we’ll expose are “out there”—though surely not covered by the mainstream media and not all in one place or all connected as we’re doing.  If you made a study of the green-energy, crony-corruption story your passion, you likely found out a lot of what we’ll share. If you read the report from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (HOGRC) on the Obama Administration’s green energy gamble word-for-word, or watched the incriminating hearings, you’ll already know some of what we’ll present. Or, if you’ve read the chapter in Peter Schweizer’s book Throw Them All Out that addresses alternative energy and “how the game of funneling taxpayer money to friends has exploded to astonishing levels in recent years,” you have a good idea of the big picture. If you have made this your passion, have studied the report, and have coordinated with Schweizer, as Lakatos has, you are encouraged to help make these reports as complete as possible. Together, we’ll connect the dots and present it here in bite-sized pieces.

Each of the energy projects we will profile in the “special seven” section were recipients of billions of taxpayer dollars through the 1705 Loan Guarantee Program (LGP) and many will be receiving millions more through the 1603 Grant Program. The 1705 LGP is an expansion of the 1703 program that was approved in 2005 under President Bush—increasing the expenditures from $17.9 billion in 2007 to $37.2 billion in 2010. The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act significantly expanded the DOE’s authority, under Energy Secretary Steven Chu, through the newly created 1705 LGP. (Under the Recovery Act, $86 billion—approximately 10% of the stimulus package—was earmarked for green energy projects.) The LGP means that companies get risk-free money. If the company succeeds, the low-interest loan gets paid back. If they fail—as many have—we, the taxpayers, lose. In contrast, the 1603 Grant Program—implemented as part the Obama stimulus––is administered by the Treasury Department, with the goal of reimbursing eligible applicants for a portion of the costs of installing specified energy property used in a trade or business or for the production of income. Basically 1603 gives billions in favored businesses tax-free cash gifts that do not have to be paid back.

While we can prove that cronyism has run amok within the majority of 1705 LGP, we'll stay focused on the Special Seven. Here, in Part 1, we present a complete overview of the connecting dots on one project: SolarReserve, LLC. With this introduction made, we’ll likely address several companies, with a common denominator, in subsequent releases.

In Sunday’s column, the following thumbnail was presented: “SolarReserve’s Crescent Dunes project is a solar thermal power tower plant utilizing the advanced molten salt power tower technology with integrated storage located in Tonopah, NV. The company's Fitch rating is BB, yet in September 2011, it was the recipient of $737 million in DOE loan guarantees. Obama’s law school buddy and 2008 Obama campaign bundler, Michael Froman, was managing director of alternative investments at Citigroup—which became a major investor in SolarReserve. Froman currently serves on the White House staff. Additionally, other high profile Democrats are involved with SolarReserve.”

But there is more.

More about Michael Froman. Peter Schweizer reports that “When Obama ran for president, Froman helped raise large sums of money on Wall Street” for the 2008 campaign. The HOGRC report (page 47) confirms Peter’s findings and adds that Froman was a $200,000 bundler: “Michael Froman currently serves as the Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs. He was a friend of President Obama’s from law school, and supported his political career by bundling over $200,000 for his 2008 presidential candidacy. Prior to his arrival at the White House, Froman was the Managing Director of Alternative Investments at Citigroup, where he managed infrastructure and sustainable development investments. Citigroup became a major investor in SolarReserve, which ultimately received a $737 million loan guarantee in September 2011.”

The Citigroup connection is tighter. Richard Parsons was Chairman for Citigroup from 2009 until he announced stepping down in March 2012. Citigroup was a top Obama donor in 2008. Parsons served on the Obama Transition Team and on the Economic Advisory Board. In 2011, Parsons was appointed to the President’s Council on Jobs and Competiveness.

Next, David Sandalow—who is currently “the Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs at DOE, where he acts as Secretary’s Chu’s principal adviser on energy policy, as well as coordinating DOE’s foreign policy involvement.” (HOGRC report page 49) “Sandalow’s ties to the White House date back to the Clinton Administration, during which he worked with President Clinton on environmental issues. After having gained this experience, Sandalow became the influential Chair of the Energy & Climate Working Group of the Clinton Global Initiative. He went on to advise President Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, Sandalow was a senior advisor to Good Energies, Inc., an energy-focused venture capital firm. Good Energies is an investor in SolarReserve.”

Other SolarReserve connections to the Democratic Party include:

Ronald Pelosi—Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s brother-in-law, Ronald Pelosi, holds a leadership position with Pacific Corporate Group Asset Management—which is an investor in SolarReserve. Additionally, his colleague, Jasandra Nyker, has served as a member of SolarReserve’s board of directors.

George Kaiser—Argonaut Private Equity is an investor in SolarReserve. Argonaut Private Equity is owned by major Democratic fundraiser and a 2008 Top Obama bundler George Kaiser, who also invested in Solyndra. Kaiser made multiple visits to the White House in the months before the company was granted a $535 million loan from the government. The Managing Director for Argonaut Private Equity, Steve Mitchell, serves on SolarReserve's Board of Directors.

Tony Podesta—OpenSecrets.org shows that SolarReserve paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying fees to the Podesta Group. Tony Podesta is the principal at the Podesta Group—which he started with his brother John. John Podesta ran Barack Obama’s presidential transition team and is the Director of the Center for American Progress—which is “reportedly highly influential in helping to craft White House Policy.” Both Tony Podesta and his wife Heather (a Washington power couple) are frequent White House visitors that share high ranks in "lobbying power," and Democrat bundling as well.

Lee Bailey—SolarReserve’s Chairman of the Board is Lee Bailey, a Managing Director with U.S. Renewables Group, who holds a significant financial stake in SolarReserve. Bailey has donated $21,850 since 2008 to Democratic candidates, including President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, California Sen. Barbara Boxer and then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

James McDermott—SolarReserve board member James McDermott is also a Managing Director with U.S. Renewables Group. He contributed $61,500 to various Democratic campaigns since 2008, including $30,800 to Obama’s presidential election campaign. U.S Renewable Energy Group has ties with Senator Harry Reid.

If there were only one connect-the-dots story, it would be easy to dismiss it as coincidence. But here, with just one company, you can see the dots connect, and connect, and connect. As you will continue to see, they keep on connecting. In this case, connect-the-dots is no innocent childhood game. It is a high-stakes gamble and only those with connections get to play. Obama and his Democratic friends are the winners. We, the taxpayers, the losers. We lose the financial investment of our tax dollars and our electricity rates go up—all to support the discredited ruse of man-made climate change.

Our first stop will be "The Special7" that snagged billions in DOE loans that were "junk" rated, millions in tax-free energy grants as well as fast-tracked DOI public land approval with little scrutiny over environmental damage. And....you guessed it....ALL have "meaningful" connections (bundlers, donors, supporters) to President Obama, Senator Harry Ried, and other high-profile Democrats. Some even gained White House staff and DOE Advisor positions. 

While this column uncovered #1) SolarReserve, Marita reported on the entire list of seven in her  "Eco Scare Scams Raise Obama Campaign Cash" Townhall.com piece last Sunday, June 24, 2012.

Here are a summary of the others, but we will expand on each in the following weeks.

Three more Harry Reid ties:

#2) Nevada Geothermal Power (NGP) holds leasehold interests in six geothermal projects located in the Western United States. They hold a BB+ rating and received a $78.8 million loan, guaranteed by the DOE, in September of 2011. Executives from NGP contributed heavily in 2008 to Harry Reid’s campaign. 

#3) Ormat Nevada is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies Inc., whose website touts “green energy you can rely on.” They have an S&P rating of BB and received $350 million in partial loan guarantees. Ormat’s lobbyist Kai Anderson and Director of Policy and Business Development Paul Thomsen were both former senate aides to Harry Reid and donors to his campaign.

#4)  BrightSource Energy has a three-unit power system project known as “Ivanpah,” located near the California/Nevada border, south of Las Vegas, that uses a proprietary power-tower solar thermal system. Ivanpah I and III have a BB+ rating while Ivanpah II is BB. On April 11, 2011, the DOE announced the finalization of $1.6 billion in loan guarantees for BrightSource’s Ivanpah project. The apparent “payoffs” to Democrats are myriad—having donated at least $21,600 to Democrats since 2008 (and zero dollars to Republicans). According to a Washington Free Beacon report, Senator Harry “Reid received almost $4,000 from Brightsource executives in the 2010 cycle, including $2,400 from CEO John Woolard, who hosted a fundraiser for the majority leader. Woolard is also a Barack Obama donor and has visited the White House 10 times since Obama took office.” Additionally, Sanjay Wagle (a significant 2008 Obama campaign supporter and contributor), a principal at Vantage Point Partners (the major stakeholder in BrightSource) was an advisor at the DOE at the time the loan was approved. And, John Bryson, BrightSource CEO, became Obama’s Secretary of Commerce (although he resigned his post late Wednesday) and has ties to an organization that helped craft the stimulus package. 

And more...

#5) Abengoa has two solar projects: Solana and Mojave Solar. Solana’s Fitch rating is BB+. Just before Christmas, 2010, the company received $1.45 billion from the DOE for a solar thermal plant, to use parabolic trough technology, in Gila Bend, AZ. Mojave Solar’s rating was BB. Yet the company received $1.2 billion in September 2011 for its solar assembly collection project in San Bernardino County, CA. Abengoa has connections to California’s Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein.

• "The Special7"
• Department of Energy "Junk Loans" and Cronyism List
• While Peter Schweizer's book divulged that ten members Obama's 2008 Finance Committee­, and revealed at least twenty-five 2008 Obama bundlers, large donors, and supporters that were "privy" to large amounts of green loans, grants, and special tax breaks, I found more...
• The RAT in the Stimulus and the “Green Stimulus Authors” that Have Benefited Greatly
• Obama's Green Team, DOE Officials, and DOE Advisors –– Stacked with Left-Wing Radicals, Al Gore Acolytes, and Silicon Valley Liaisons –– are Heavily Implicated in this “Green-Energy Scheme," and many have raked in big "green bucks." Also, a few White House staff that have ties to government green-energy money. 
• At Least Five Members of Obama's Job Council Got DOE Cash –– A Council that is  Stacked With Democratic Donors, many of which came from President Obama's appointed 2009 Economic Advisory Board. 
• Obama-Connected Cleantech (VC) Portfolios that Snagged Billions of Government Funds for Multiple Green Companies and Green Projects 
• Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Energy, and Big Venture Capitalists are Players Cashing in on "Green" Too 
• Failed Obama-backed Green Energy Companies –– the bankrupt and troubled "green projects and companies" list, of which I have tracked close to thirty (and more on the State level), yet it continues to grow weekly.

I know that other disgraces have plagued the Obama administration and taken center stage lately like Fast & Furious, ObamaCare, White House National Security Leaks, and more, however, with only 17 weeks until the 2012 elections, we will attempt to expose President Obama's "clean-energy dirt"  –– Green-Energy, Crony-Corruption Story –– of which I personally believe is one of the biggest scandals (and most expensive) of the Obama presidency!

Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian politician who tried to get elected promoting national socialism. The Norwegians rejected him and national socialism. So Quisling wormed his way into the bureaucracy to learn the inner workings of government and form alliances with other idiots in the government. He then made a secret deal with Hitler to take over Norway and force national socialism on the Norwegian people. Since then Quisling has been used to describe politicians and traitors who have a secret agenda which they hide from the public they are trying to fool and manipulate.

History is repeating itself in the USA now. People are beginning to realize that we’ve been intentionally lied to by our elected representatives for years. They’ve promoted "environmental legislation" that they pretended was for clean air and water. It’s real purpose was to gain regulatory power the public never intended the government to have. Social legislation was promoted which did not benefit anyone in society except the lawyers. It made them rich by allowing them to cram our courts with useless litigation. One of the secrets about environmental legislation was that it gave legal standing to any group of idiots who wanted to obstruct progress and impose their malice on people who were trying to develop wasted property or rehabilitate existing property. That’s why there are no "shovel ready jobs". And Obama and the rest of the horde know it; they’ve effectively cut off any movement to progress and turned us into a third world country. Obama smiles because it amuses him to see how effective their legislation has been. Much anti-business anti-consumer legislation had the hidden purpose of shutting down businesses and driving others overseas.

There is proof of this intentional deception. Congress has not passed a budget for three years, (even though they’ve increased spending to an unbelievable level), in order to hide what they are doing with the money. Billions have been frittered away on "green" businesses which the public does not want and never asked for. It’s a way to make friends and lobbyists rich at the expense of working Americans. Many of the businesses funded by the president and Congress have already gone bankrupt leaving us the bill while the business owners got rich and the politicians got huge donations. (Politicians convert their unused campaign funds into retirement money when they leave or are thrown out of office.

We need to spread the word so that Americans who only get their information from the duplicitous mainstream media will understand what has been going on. Ane we meed to elect politicians who will REVERSE the bad legislation that has been adding up for forty years. Only the Tea Party will do it.

Most people do not understand how our Budget process works or how our nation passes a bill.  There are three sets of hands on the purse strings of our nation.  When a party controls ANY TWO of these strings, they are in control.  These strings are in the hands of the President, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

I am not an economist.  I am not a highly educated man.  So, I try to take the complicated and make it less complicated so that I can understand it more effectively.  So...I have gone back in time, since 1981, and performed a simple analysis of who holds the purse strings of our nation and what there "deficit rate" is comparatively.  The results are staggering and eye-opening.  You are welcome to check my math.

Democrats OUT-DEFICIT Republicans by $4.23 to $1.00 (in terms of deficit spending) and that is a FACT.  Anyone can pull the figures and do the math themselves.  It does not matter which party is in the White House - it matters which party has majority control.  In the period in question, Democrats had control for 15 years and Republicans had control for 18 years.  During the 15 years that Democrats had control, they added $8.014 TRILLION to the national deficit.  During the 18 years that Republicans had control, they added $2.280 TRILLION to the deficit.  The yearly rate is $534 BILLION to $127 BILLION. 

Republicans are also better at reducing the previous years deficit.  They reduce the deficit 60 percent of the time as compared to 40 percent of the time for Democrats.  Now let me ask you this question.  Would you want a parachute that opens 40 percent of the time that only reduces your fall rate to 500 inches per second or a parachute that opens 60 percent of the time that reduces your fall rate to 100 inches per second?

Folks, we have a real clear choice this November.  We can argue about policy until we are blue in the face.  We can fight over the Obamacare Tax until the cows come home.  But we need to reduce this to something VERY simple and easy to understand.  Democrats will put this nation deeper into debt than Republicans.  Full STOP! 

The graphic to back my claim is included.  I intend to continue my education efforts on this matter until I can no longer draw breath.  I am interested in ONLY the facts.  Here they are!

"We The People's" authority to amend the Constitution of the United States is derived from

Article V of the Constitution

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a “two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or  by a “constitutional convention” called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures and since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval.

A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).  The process is called “Constitutional Convention”.

Constitutional Convention has only been used once in the entire history of this country.  I was astonished that it wasn’t congress that got the credit for ending “prohibition” but rather it was because of the united efforts of “We The People” through our collective state legislatures resulting in a forced joint resolution through the people’s right of Constitutional Convention.

What the Constitutional Convention does  is, if the President of the United States refuses to faithfully uphold his oath of office, just as President Obama did when he refused to enforce the“Defense of Marriage Act”(DOMA), and a U.S. Congress Committee fails to put forth an amendment in the  form of a joint resolution, just as the House Judiciary Committee has and is still doing to prevent a vote to amend the United States Constitution defining marriage to be the union between one man and one woman, the citizens of the United States can have their state legislatures  demand and force the U.S. Congress to do so through “Constitutional Convention” and bring forth a joint resolution to amend the U.S. Constitution and the United States President is powerless to do anything about it.

It means “We The People”, through “Constitutional Convention” could hold the U.S. Senate accountable to pass a budget by amending the U.S. Constitution preventing any further spending until it is done.

It means “We The People” through “Constitutional Convention” could establish the law of the land that no tax could be levied against the people without the ratification of (38 of 50) states of the union.

It means the people have a course of action to define and limit the scope of authority of any appointed or elected official.  The Supreme Court’s authority can be limited to the interpretation to the U.S. Constitution and any law or executive order would require the ratification of (38 of 50) states.

It means “We The People” could amend the Constitution to enhance the checks and balances of government  to allow the majority vote of either the House or Senate be sufficient cause for dismissal of any elected official or appointed official, including the Supreme Court Justices.

The Tea Party is in an excellent position to collaborate the state cooperation needed to make this course of action a reality for the American People.   

Will you help spear head the practice of "Constitutional convention" on behalf of “We The People”?  If the Tea Party of Each State were to coordinate efforts and topics of "Constitutional Convention" to each state legislature, "We The People" would not only have a greater voice but also would begin having a greater impact in Washington instead of just every four years or time of re-election

Please coordinate with your Tea Party commander and state representatives about“

your Constitutional Convention”  right, and process,  thank you.

READ CAREFULLY...This is so "Unbelievable"...In Houston, Texas

Harwin Central Mall: The very first store that you come to when you walk from the lobby of the building into the shopping area had this sign posted on their door. The shop is run by Muslims.

Feel free to share this with others.

In case you are not able to read the sign below, it says, "We will be closed on Friday, September 11, 2009 to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Ali."

Imam Ali flew one of the planes into the twin towers.

Nice, huh?
Try telling me we're not in a Religious war!
THIS HAS NOT BEEN AROUND....SO MAKE SURE IT DOES!

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND HAVE THEM DO THE SAME!

When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why.

General Eisenhower Warned Us.

It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:
'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.'
This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population whichclaims it never occurred. It is not removed as of yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1900Catholic priests who were murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated while many in the world looked the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED'…

because it offends some Muslim???

Do not just delete this message; it will take only a minute to pass this along.

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE...SOMEONE HAD TO PAY FOR IT!

So many people do not seem to understand that this is a good thing ! The SCOTUS is not supposed to legislate !

He showed Judicial Restraint

To correct this problem Congress must be put on the hot seat and not be allowed to pass the buck !

You want Obama and Obamacare gone then make it happen this November in the voting booth

Want to really make sure it happens

Write to your congress-critter every week and open that bill fold and send money to a conservative candidate running for Congress or the senate ! and get out and prove you are willing to do more and get involved and even go door to door and pass out literature and put a sign in your yard too.

We can clean house if you get with the program and quit sitting on your fat lazy asses

Howdy all! 

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord, not for men. ~ Colossians 3:23

Excessive taxation ... will carry reason and reflection to every man's door, and particularly in the hour of election. ~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Taylor, 1798

Why is it, that so many emails I get are from people who ‘have the answer’ to fix our dilemma, yet all they can tell us about their fix is that they need our donations?  WHAT??  And worse, when those who send the emails, asking for money are RINOS, or just plain turncoats?  Picture this; a guy who is a state attorney general, joins the fight on Obamacare.  He is one of the 26.  Then the SCOTUS upholds, defeating the 26.  Then what?  This guy says he only joined to stop the mandate, and now doesn’t even want to repeal the AHA.  SAY IT ISN’T SO, JOE!  Sadly, it is so.  He is Rob McKenna; the man, the myth, the RINO.  Washington State AG, running against Jay Inslee, the liberal’s liberal congressman turned gubernatorial candidate.  Yes, even one of the mighty 26 is a progressive.  Are there more?  How about any other RINO’s in governor races?  How many in races for Congress, or Senate?  Yes, they are out there; hiding like snakes in the grass.  They saw how Obama did it in 2008 and think they can too. 

Resolve?  You need to decide who on your ballot deserves your vote.  Do your homework.  Don’t let those emails, asking for your hard earned money, tell you how great their candidate is.  The wheel has been invented.  Toast is no better now than with the toaster your grandmother had.  These folks may have the answer, and they may not.  So you must do your homework. 

Encouragement?  Here’s an example of one person who not only deserves my vote, but is a shining example for all to follow.  His name is Shahram Hadian.  And, as you can tell by his name, he is from the Middle East.  But believe me, he is the most conservative Christian candidate for any race in any state I know.  He is running for Wa. State Governor.  Just his life story alone is so inspiring, it makes you want to stand and cheer for him, just like they did at a few county conventions this year across our state.  But there’s so much more.  Just last night, I sent this response to AG McKenna’s request for money and added it to my facebook page, “ARE YOU KIDDING????? You really think anyone on the eastern side of the cascades will give you the time of day? You say you don't want to repeal Obamacare? You say we should just move forward? FINE! I am! I think I will contact the Hadian campaign to see if they need my donations. You say we should move on? WHY DON'T YOU AND GET OUT OF THE RACE???”  And within 2 minutes Mr Hadian responded himself!  No flunky, minion or twidget sent me a canned response.  (They always drive me nuts anyway!) He responded from his home.  AT NIGHT ON A FRIDAY FROM HIS HOME!!!  The only thing I can say is OUTSTANDING!  Please let me know a better word than outstanding.  It’s too weak a word to describe Mr. Hadian. 

Be Encouraged.  There are more people out there like Mr. Hadian running for office.  They are NOT in the best of graces of the RNC (RINO Nimrod Club).  Find them, help them, get their names and faces out there!  And, if you can’t find one, then Help Shahram!  And if you do find one, help them AND Shahram!  Don’t be dissuaded by the name.  I’ve met the man.  He is truly the real deal.

I know this message sounds like a plug, a paid political ad.  I promise you it is NOT!  We must get those RINO snakes out of the grass.  We must help those trying to oust them, in any manner possible; in any city, county, or state.

The time of being disappointed is over.  The time for encouragement, resolve and conviction is now.  Waiting for November is too late.  Help our candidates NOW.  And get registered to vote.  VERIFY THAT YOU REALLY ARE REGISTERED.  I found that my daughters are not properly registered.  They have the time to correct that.  Don’t lose your right to vote out of laziness or complacency.

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!

Obamacare Horse won race but lost big when Spreme Roberts named him "Taxes"...

REMBER   THOSE  OLD  OLD  DAYS.  I DO THEY SURE   NOT  LIKE   TODAYS SHITTY  DAYS.

I read the following Ronald Reagan quote later in the day after the Supreme Court shockingly declared Obamacare constitutional. Reagan's insight sent chills down my spine. Was he a prophet or what?

Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Brothers and sisters, the day Reagan warned us about has arrived. June 28, 2012 freedom was ruled extinct in America. God help us.

My heart is heavy and my controlled anger runs deep. I can not and will not surrender my country to the evil dictator in the black Iron Man suit without one heck of a knock-down drag-out political fight.

I am going to blog until my fingers bleed. I am going to tea party across America as many times as necessary. I will double down passionately using my vocal, songwriting and speaking skills to save my country.

I encourage each and everyone of you to do the same – use your gifts, talents and passions to defeat this man who believes himself above the law and the Constitution committed to destroying our great country and reshaping it in his image. ENOUGH! ENOUGH! ENOUGH!

A relative asked me to phone him to discuss the racism of the Tea Party. After hearing the Supreme Court's horrific cave to Obama, I thought it best not to call today. My tolerance level and patience for stupid, racist and ignorant idiots is solidly at zero.

While I share your frustration, pain and sorrow, this is no time to say screw it and throw in the towel. We can, must and will defeat this Leviathan attacking our country from within. The Bible says evil spreads itself as a powerful huge oak tree, but its roots are shallow and weak.

Patriots, our roots are powerful and deep, securely planted in the good soil of truth, honor and righteousness. And yes, I believe God is on our side.

Obama's evil army (mainstream media, the democrat leadership and his idiot deadbeat supporters) appear powerful. They are not. Their foundation is built on lies and deceit which is sinking sand.

It is time to pull out all the stops – kick our activism up to the next level. What did that chef use to say? Oh yeah, he said, “Bam!” whenever he kicked the favor up to a new level.

Every patriot must continue doing their part, but on a new level. No effort is too small. Gov. Scott Walker illustrated what one committed conservative can achieve. Together, with all hands on deck, we will defeat this vile anti-America dictator in November.

The November election will mark the beginning of us winning numerous elections needed to restore our great nation to Ronald Reagan's shining city on a hill.

"Excessive taxation ... will carry reason and reflection to every man's door, and particularly in the hour of election." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Taylor, 1798

As I set here today three question come to mind.

(1) Who was working for Obama doing the healthcare debate?

(2) Who was working for Obama doing the debate, and is now on the Supreme Court?

(3) Who was working for Obama doing the healthcare debate,and is now on the Supreme Court who could had told Obama what to us ,and say,when the law is challenge?

By this person working for Obama when it was pass by the house it was only a matter of time before that person would be ask to over look over it just for show, knowing it will pass because it would be a call a tax

That person should had not voted on it they should had pass on it. We need to take a strong look and get the paper work that that person would had review to make sure they us the word (TAX) so it would pass the Supreme Court.

This is the way I see how it happen because if that person was not there then it would had not pass.

MITT  ROMNEY   WILL  THROW  IT   OUT  WITH  THE DISH  WATER  AND  OBAMAS  LIES  TO  US,  WE  NO LONER  HAVE  ANY  SAY,  EXCEPY TO   SAY THIS  COUNTRY  IS  GONE  TO HELL.

Howdy all!  Well we all are still reeling from the 2 big stories of the day.  Yes we had no clue this would happen, in fact it seemed like a slam dunk what the outcome of one would be.  But, it is true, Nadal is out of Wimbedon in the second round; GHASTLY!  And Derek Jeter tied Cal Ripken’s all-time hit record.

Any hoo,..

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.  ~ Psalm 118:24

Nothing so strongly impels a man to regard the interest of his constituents, as the certainty of returning to the general mass of the people, from whence he was taken, where he must participate in their burdens." --George Mason, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788

What you haven’t been watching baseball?  What have you been watching, politics?  Or maybe E! network?

OK, Obamacare.  Yes, it was upheld.  Yes I was stunned and a bit angry.  You too I imagine.  At least we now know.  We know where the court stands.  We know where the President stands.  There is no back door chicanery.  And if you had read or heard anything after the announcement today, there was resolve.  Anger, disgust, but yes resolve.  Everyone on radio, on blogs, on forums, on facebook, twitter are resolved to end the nightmare. 

The question is how?  That is easy.  Vote the jerks out.  I don’t just mean Obama.  Your senators and representatives are up for re-election.  Get your friends, church members, neighbors, co-workers and anyone you meet to register.  Make sure you ARE registered.  And vote the jerks out.  And, let those you vote in know they will be watched more than anyone ever, including Obama.  This is OUR country.  They are OUR employees.  They must be INSTRUCTED, not just asked, to do what we want them to.  WE KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR US, NOT SOME BIMBO FROM SAN FRANSISCO, or some dork from Nevada, or even some crybaby from Ohio.

Voice your Choice!  Tell them now who will get your vote.  Don’t let them bask in the silence, where they can happily try to convince you they are perfect for the job.  Tell them they aren’t getting your vote until,…  MAKE THEM SQUIRM!  Make them beg.

Is this encouraging?  YES.  Why?  Because I don’t want you to sit on your duffs and whine all day, all summer.  Write letters to the editors.  Blog, tweet, whatever your tools; use them.  Let them all know up front, they got a lot to do to get your vote.  And remind them of what George Mason said.  Nothing so strongly impels a man to regard the interest of his constituents, as the certainty of returning to the general mass of the people, from whence he was taken, where he must participate in their burdens.  In other words, the thought of going back to the general population after losing an election to face the music can make a politician think twice before going against his or her constituents.

This truly is a day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.  We have now been given focus, resolve and, if you participate the conviction to do what all three branches of government have not. 

Two hundred and thirty six years ago just yesterday, a guy named Tom finished writing these words:

“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.” 

Be angry; whine out loud; scream out your window; kick holes in the walls.  Then, get your focus and resolve and let’s get to work.  We got a lot to do.

Take care, God bless,

AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!

As most of you realize by now, Today’s decision regarding Obamacare has nothing to do with Constitutional law. Chief Justice Roberts had to do some creative thinking to declare that the penalty for not having health insurance is really a justifiable tax.
It’s pointless to analyze law to discover legal reasons for the decision. To get at the reason for the decision, you must know Washington itself. It’s the city and social climate here that are responsible for this bad ruling. The social pressure to be accepted as someone important governs the lives of most people here. Social pressure determines what cars people drive, what stores and restaurants they patronize what clothes they wear Social pressure also determines what ideas are politically correct. If you want to be accepted by people and have friends in this town, you must conform to the liberal status quo. That’s why there are so many RINOs here. We elect good people and send them to Washington; in the pernicious climate they eventually become part of the city’s social climate. They conform to local ideas and simply deceive their constituents about the legislation they are voting for.
After 30 years it was Justice Roberts big chance to stand out and join the Washington in crowd. He’s made himself their champion with his befuddled opinion. Now he’s finally welcome on the Georgetown party circuit. In Washington, that’s more important than right and wrong, honesty or deception, or anything most Americans value. That’s why it’s so important to elect fresh people to Congress.

S  WILL SET ALL  REPUBLICANS  BACK 200  YRARS.   NOW  WE  HAVE  TOO  ELECT  MITT  ROMONY  IN  NOVEMBER,   NO  IF  ANDS  OR  BUTTS,   OUT  THE DOOR  WITH  OBAMA  AND  WHAT EVER   COUNTRY  HE  FROM,  PLEASE  SEND  HIM  PACKING  FAST.
