The following is a quote from “Dreams of My Father”, President
Obama’s book:
“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I choose my friends
carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists,”
who or what is he selling out,I believe it is clear to any right thinking person.
“It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation’s distinguished World War II veterans,” Johnson said. “President Roosevelt’s prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.”
I’m a World War II veteran. I wrote the following in my book of memoirs this morning.
The IRS sent me a phony tax assessment and ordered me to come in and discuss the tax I allegedly owed. His enormous belly hanging over his belt, his shirt buttons close to popping off, tie askew, red faced, his eyes bulged when I told the slob that I’d see the IRS in court. The response: “Oh, you’re one of those Fifth Amendment freaks. We know how to deal with you.”
The Fifth Amendment says I have the right to be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place. It’s called “due process of law.” Government’s replacement of due process of law with Nazi law affects families. The family used to be America’s cornerstone.
People like me who protest society’s rational laws are seen by government officials as mentally deficient. This is also the view of some in the medical orthodoxy. My behavior fits the description of schizotypal personality disorder. I suffer perceptual distortion. Come to think of it, that was the Nazi view. A key symptom of schizophrenia is hearing voices. When I studied the Constitution, I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me.
The Veteran’s Administration doctor asked me if I heard voices. I’ve experienced clairvoyance, a symptom of schizophrenia. Schizophrenics believe they are God-directed. Another symptom, I trust in God. I do “irrational things,” according to the “educated.”
I recently underwent a brain scan in the Veteran’s hospital. They didn’t find anything wrong in my brain. Officialdom need not worry anymore. This veteran isn’t going to blow up the Whitehouse.
But Mr. President, we note that life is getting worse for the average American. You are not creating jobs. America’s morals are slipping. America has lost much of her world respect, lost her excellent credit rating, and government spending is more out of control. You are still fighting losing wars. I’m worried about you. You appear to suffer from schizotypal personality disorder.
My life is as good as life gets. Take your choice, “education” or experience.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Bob Unruh-On November 4, 2011:
“A Minnesota congressman has proposed federal legislation that would impose his state’s type of voter registration – which leads the nation in voter fraud cases – on the other 49 states, according to critics who have launched online campaigns to make people aware of the dangers of Rep. Keith Ellison’s H.R. 3316 and its companion H.R. 3317.
“Our votes control trillions of public dollars, yet Ellison would have us believe nobody would ever steal them. We can trust everybody, right?” said a commentary posted on the Election Integrity Watch site.
“Would you keep your money in a bank that allowed people to make withdrawals without checking their identity and verifying that they are entitled to the money?” the site wondered.
In a commentary promoting his H.R. 3316, which would banish all photo identification requirements, and H.R. 3317, which would allow people to walk into a polling location, register and vote immediately, Ellison said his intent is to curb “voter suppression.”
“The Same Day Registration Act would require states to provide for same day voter registration for a federal election. The Voter Access Protection Act would make sure election officials cannot require photo identification in order to cast a vote or register to vote,” he said.
Get “Taking America Back,” Joseph Farah’s manifesto for sovereignty, self-reliance and moral renewal
He said there are 34 state legislatures that have considered bills requiring photo ID to vote.
“These are solutions in search of a problem,” he said. “Statistics show an infinitesimal number of proven voting fraud cases occurring in the United States. And these few cases have been successfully prosecuted like any other criminal offense.”
However, an organization that monitors elections in Minnesota and roots out fraudulent votes is warning ballot fraud is on the rise across the nation, and if unchecked, the ultimate consequences would be an electorate that simply doesn’t believe the system works and refuses to participate – “a total breakdown in the cohesion of American society.”
That’s from Executive Director Dan McGrath of the Minnesota Majority, which advocates for traditional values in state and federal public policy through grassroots activism. The group also contributes to the work ofElectionIntegrityWatch.com to focus specifically on elections and voter fraud.
Minnesota Majority reported that its investigations of fraud allegations arising from the 2008 general election in the state so far have resulted in 113 convictions. Another 200 or so cases are being processed or are pending but might not be completed because the statute of limitations expires this month, three years after the election.
And a stunning 2,800 or more cases cannot be prosecuted because of the wording in the Minnesota state law that essentially requires voter fraud participants to admit they knew what they were doing was illegal in order for a conviction to be obtained, the organization said.
The organization’s report on voter fraud said the convictions appear to be the highest number since a scheme in Jackson County, Mo., in 1936 resulted in 259 individuals convicted of voter fraud.
A more recent effort by the U.S. Department of Justice that encompassed five years resulted in just 53 convictions, the group said.
“It’s mind-boggling to me that as a tiny non-profit corporation, we netted more than double the number of convictions in one year than the U.S. Department of Justice was able to find in five,” said Minnesota Majority president Jeff Davis in a statement on the results.
The group identified a wide range of illegal votes, including incapacitated patients at a mental health home who have guardians and are not eligible to vote to “upwards of 2,800 ineligible felons believed to have unlawfully voted in Minnesota’s 2008 general election.”
“These convictions are just the tip of the iceberg,” said Davis. “The actual number of illegal votes cast was in the thousands. Most unlawful voters were never charged with a crime because they simply pled ignorance. We have evidence of these people casting illegal ballots, but in Minnesota, ignorance of election law is considered to be an acceptable defense.”
It’s not just in Minnesota.
The organization lists reports from dozens of locations around the nation where voter fraud cases have been brought, and convictions won, by prosecutors. Among them are a 10-year prison term for an NAACP leader for vote fraud, several cases in Houston, more in Wisconsin and some in Florida.
Ellison, whose schemes are being cosponsored by Reps. Yvette Clarke of New York, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Raul Grijalva of Arizona, Alcee Hastings of Florida, Barbara Lee of California, Gwen Moore of Wisconsin and Jose Serrano of New York, noted that such “fraud” “seems to be occurring only within historically Democratic voting blocs like minorities and students.”
He said organizations critical of looser voting procedures “have no problem squashing these groups’ voting rights – or the rights of elderly voters.”
He continued, “Imagine an 80-year-old grandmother, who has never driven and uses a wheelchair, going through the process of getting non-drivers ID. If her Social Security card is accepted identification for her benefits, why isn’t it good enough to identify her for voting?”
McGrath told WND that Ellison’s proposals for the nation are very similar to the procedures now used in his home state of Minnesota, which “right now is leading the nation in convictions for voter fraud.”
“He wants to take a system producing more fraud than anywhere else in the country and impose it on all states,” he said.
“Voting is a right, but it’s a qualified right. You have to be at least 18 years old, a citizen of our country, resident of the state and precinct, and not be a convicted felon still serving your term or mentally incompetent.”
He said the system is set up with all of these qualifications, yet under Ellison’s plan, “we’re supposed to take people’s word for it.”
The 2nd Amendment also gives people the right to own a gun, but there are verifications and qualifications there, too, he said.
He said “some would argue” those with ill motives can do more damage with an illegal vote than an illegal gun, because the vote can affect “everybody in the country.”
McGrath said the move is more than just an effort by Ellison, as the issue has been “brewing for awhile.”
He said when voter registration and identification laws have been tightened in specific states, voter participation actually has gone up.
“It goes to that confidence that participation will make a difference,” he said.
In Minnesota, he said, prosecutions are rising at least partly because of a new team of county attorneys elected in 2010 who are taking the violations of voting laws seriously.
Also posting comments on the issue was the We Want Voter ID site, which carried an image of Ellison “holding” a sign stating “Voter Fraud For All!”
“The net effect of Ellison’s two bills is to allow anyone and everyone to cast a ballot on Election Day without any mechanism to verify their identity, citizenship, eligibility, or that they live in the state and precinct they are voting in,” it said.
With estimates that range into the tens of millions for the number of illegal aliens inside the United States, races easily could be decided on those counts, officials noted.
Minnesota Majority notes that in 2008, the Minnesota U.S. Senate race was decided by just 312 votes.
“Never in our state’s history did the words ‘every vote counts’ ring so true. However, a cloud of doubt still hangs over the results. Post-election analysis showed that hundreds of ineligible felons voted in the election. Over 17,000 more ballots were counted than voters accounted for as having voted in our Statewide Voter Registration System. Over 23,000 addresses provided by Election Day registrants could not be verified. Voter rolls contained the names of non-citizens and deceased individuals,” the organization reported.
What that means is that Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., may not have won, although he has been casting votes from his U.S. Senate seat ever since, the group said.
“Political analysts estimate that voter fraud may account for 3 percent of the vote in any given election. Applying this statistic to Minnesota’s 2006 gubernatorial election, that would mean that we would have had over 66,000 fraudulent votes. Remember that Gov. Pawlenty won this election by just 21,000 votes,” the organization reported.
Sens. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota endorsed Ellison’s plan, explaining, in Feingold’s words, “We should constantly be looking for ways to make it easier for Americans to exercise that right [to vote].”
ElectionIntegrityWatch notes that photo ID laws in more than a dozen states have been challenged “and plaintiffs have not yet produced a single voter who would be disenfranchised by those laws.”
McGrath said the potential ramifications are very serious for the nation, and “that’s why we’ve been so dogged about this.”
“The foundation of the country rests on the confidence of the people that they’re being represented,” he said. “That they have a voice in the process. If they feel they have become disenfranchised, they’ll ask, ‘What reason do I have to participate?’
“That’s why it’s so very alarming.”
It was just last month that former Indiana Gov. Joe Kernan said a signature on a petition to put Barack Obama on the state’s primary ballot in 2008 isn’t his.
The Democrat, who had campaigned for Hillary Clinton, told the Associated Press the printing next to the signature doesn’t even look like his.
He was among dozens of people contacted by the South Bend Tribune who declined to verify that their names on the petition were in their handwriting.
Officials called for a federal investigation.
WND also previously reported that a number of names among ACORN’s “shock troops” have been linked to or convicted of perjury, forgery, identity theft and election fraud in recent years.
Mathew Vadum, a senior editor for the Capital Research Center, released before Obama took office a report titled“ACORN: Who Funds the Weather Underground’s Little Brother?” documenting the troubled past and problems facing the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
The organization for which Obama at one point trained activists and to which he directed grants while aboard the management of the Woods Fund established a reputation for doing pretty much as it pleases, the report said.
While the election 2008 controversies over electoral fraud efforts “have been indelibly imprinted in the public consciousness,” Vadum said, that work is only a “smidgen of what ACORN actually does.”
While ACORN officially went out of business earlier this year, Vadum has documented how most of the people involved simply reported many times to the same offices and same work desks, just under the name of a new organization.
The issue of misbehavior at the polls caught the attention of the public in 2008 when voter intimidation by members of the New Black Panther Party was caught on video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neGbKHyGuHU&feature=player_embedded
The Justice Department originally brought a case against the organization and several individuals who witnesses say derided voters with catcalls of “white devil” and “cracker” and told them they should prepare to be “ruled by the black man.”
One poll watcher called police after he reportedly saw one of the men brandishing a nightstick to threaten voters.
“As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other,” the witness told Fox News at the time. “So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they’d been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.”
He said the man with a nightstick told him, “’We’re tired of white supremacy,’ and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, ‘OK, we’re not going to get in a fistfight right here,’ and I called the police.”
Subsequently, former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams testified before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission that the Voting Section of Attorney General Eric Holder’s organization is dominated by a “culture of hostility” toward bringing cases against blacks and other minorities who violate voting-rights laws.
Further, two other former U.S. Department of Justice attorneys later corroborated key elements of the explosive allegations by Adams.
One of Adams’ DOJ colleagues, former Voting Section trial attorney Hans A. von Spakovsky, told WND he saw Adams was being attacked in the media for lack of corroboration. He said he knew Adams was telling the truth, so he decided on his own to step forward.
Adams had been ordered by his superiors to drop a case prosecutors already had won against the New Black Panthers. When they were ordered to stop prosecution, Adams and the team of DOJ lawyers had already won the case by default because the New Black Panthers declined to defend themselves in court. At that point in the proceedings, the DOJ team was simply waiting for the judge to assign penalties against the New Black Panthers.”

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted PJ Media-By Patrick Richardson-On November 4, 2011:
“UPDATE: Since this piece was written, the Department of Justice has backed down from the proposed rule change described herein, the Daily Caller reports:
“The Department of Justice has canceled a controversial planned revision to Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) rules that opponents said would have allowed federal agencies to lie about the existence of records. In a letter to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday, the DOJ wrote that the proposed rule “falls short” of its commitment to transparency, and it “will not include that provision when the Department issues final regulations.”
As part of larger revision of FOIA practices, the proposed rule would have allowed federal agencies to deny the existence of records when applying an exclusion, even if the records did exist.”
Which is all well and good, so far as it goes. The problem here is there’s nothing stopping them from proposing this rule again when some larger issue is obscuring it. Legislation is rarely a good solution, but may be the right one in this case.
Fox News reported last week that the Obama administration is promulgating a new rule which would allow Justice Department officials to lie about whether or not records exist when asked for as part of a Freedom of Information Act request:
“A longtime internal policy that allowed Justice Department officials to deny the existence of sensitive information could become the law of the land — in effect a license to lie — if a newly proposed rule becomes federal regulation in the coming weeks.
The proposed rule directs federal law enforcement agencies, after personnel have determined that documents are too delicate to be released, to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests “as if the excluded records did not exist.”
An interesting position from “the most transparent administration ever.”
Their reasoning for this new policy is interesting as well, from an administration, which has repeatedly slammed its predecessor as being secretive:
“Justice Department officials say the practice has been in effect for decades, dating back to a 1987 memo from then-Attorney General Edwin Meese.”
In that memo, and subsequent similar internal documents, Justice Department staffers were advised that they could reply to certain FOIA requests as if the documents had never been created. That policy never became part of the law — or even codified as a federal regulation — and it was recently challenged in court.
Earlier this year, in a case involving the Islamic Council of Southern California brought against the FBI after the plaintiffs learned about the existence of documents denied by the FBI, a federal judge in California expressed great concern about the agency using the internal policy not only in response to the FOIA but to mislead the court.
“The government, cannot, under any circumstance, affirmatively mislead the court. … The court simply cannot perform its constitutional function if the government does not tell the truth,” the judge wrote in a stinging rebuke.
According to Chris Farrell, Judicial Watch director of research, this ability has somewhat existed for decades, but was generally handled in one of two ways. (Judicial Watch is the largest and most frequent FOIA litigator in the country, and often handles PJ Media’s FOIA litigation.)
Rarely, the agency receiving the FOIA would give what is known as a “Glomar response,” referring to the Glomar Explorer, which the CIA used to recover a sunken Soviet submarine. In other words: “We will neither confirm nor deny the documents exist.”
The other, far more common, method, Farrell said, is to generate what is known as a “Vaughn Index.”
A Vaughn Index is a list of the documents generated by a FOIA search with attached reasoning for any denials: “Yes we have the records, but we’re not giving them to you, and here’s why.”
According to Farrell, now they’re seeking permission to affirmatively lie to the American people:
“In theory down the road you could go back and see them after they were no longer classified. This is wildly different. They had an opinion that said they could do this, but it wasn’t a policy.”
Farrell notes that, should this rule pass it would make lying in response to a FOIA request or FOIA litigation legal — as in not perjury:
“There are things which are technically legal, but which are atrocious and that’s the direction they’re going down.
This is, of course, nothing new for an administration, which has taken nearly two years to generate four blank pages on a routine FOIA request asking for highly routine information.”
Farrell was perhaps more blunt:
“The most transparent administration in history is going out of the way to be opaque. It’s Orwellian, it’s circular double talk. The law that exists is more than adequate (to preserve secrecy when needed.) They don’t have the guts to do this legislatively so they do it by regulation.”
From Farrell’s point of view — and mine — this is deadly dangerous stuff from the standpoint of the health of the republic, coming as it does while Obama is signing yet more executive orders:
“It’s an incremental slide down the slope. It’s a corrosion of the public’s trust,” he said. “If the government is giving itself permission to affirmatively lie to you, how can you ever have accountability?”
There is some hope this egregious policy will not become a federal regulation with the force of law. Even the ACLU — not the most conservative of organizations, nor exactly enemies of the current administration — is howling bloody murder. According to Fox, there was so much pushback after the original public comment period that the proposed regulation was reopened for public comment a second time.
With supreme irony that is apparently lost on them, the DOJ is claiming their move to destroy transparency … has been open and transparent:
“Melanie Ann Pustay, director of the Justice Department’s Office of Information Policy, said the entire consideration process for the proposal “has been open and transparent.”
She also notes that sensitive information requires special consideration.
“To ensure that the integrity of the exclusion is maintained, agencies must ensure that their responses do not reveal the existence of excluded records,” Pustay said.
Of course, that’s what the aforementioned Glomar response is for. Also left aside is who gets to decide what an excluded record is. Given this administration’s history of excluding even the most innocuous records on the flimsiest of pretexts, it would seem imprudent at best to give them more ability to do so.”

I. WH Rejects Subpoena Request For Solyndra Docs!
What’s wrong with this picture?
The Washington Examiner-By Philip Klein Senior Editorial Writer-On November 4, 2011:
“President Obama’s attorney sent a letter to Congressional investigators on Friday, saying the White House would not cooperate with a subpoena requesting documents related to its doling out a $535 million loan guarantee to now bankrupt solar panel manufacturer Solyndra.
“I can only conclude that your decision to issue a subpoena, authorized by a party-line vote, was driven more by partisan politics than a legitimate effort to conduct a responsible investigation,” Obama’s counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler, wrote in a letter to the top Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce committee. (Read Ruemmler’s full letter here).
Committee chairman Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich, blasted the White House response:
“We have been reasonable every step of the way in this investigation, and it is a shame that the Obama Administration and House Democrats continue to put up partisan roadblocks to hide the truth from taxpayers. Solyndra was a jobs program gone bad, and we must learn the lessons of Solyndra as we work to turn our economy around and put folks back to work. Our judicious and methodical work over the last eight months has garnered tens of thousands of pages of documents from DOE and OMB that have proven we are on the right track. Now, we need to know the White House’s role in the Solyndra debacle in order to learn the full truth about why taxpayers now find themselves a half billion dollars in the hole. The White House could have avoided the need for subpoena authorizations if they had simply chosen to cooperate. That would have been the route we preferred, and frankly, it would have been better for the White House to get the information out now, rather than continue to drag this out. Our request for documents is reasonable - we are not demanding the President’s blackberry messages as we are respectful of Executive Privilege. What is the West Wing trying to hide? We owe it to American taxpayers to find out.”

You will love this one, I haven't stop laughing yet..... Before we start....
For those of you who have don't have a clue about what CATTLE GUARDS are, they are horizontal steel rails, pipes, or metal rods placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads or adjacent to any roads (sometimes across roads), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. Usually seen in areas where open ranges or government leases of public lands. For some reason the cattle will not step on the "cattle-guards," because their instincts perceive it as an unsafe footing, their natural fears cause them to completely avoid getting their feet caught between the rails.
A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado .. Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the "cattle" guards immediately!!
Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten him out, Vice-President, Joe Biden, intervened with a request that.. before any "cattle" guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.And these guys are running our country, OMG!!

Posted on The Blaze-By Tiffany Gabbay-On November 4, 2011:
“Conservatives and Republican lawmakers are furious after the Obama administration announced its objection to adding President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The objection was reportedly raised during a congressional hearing on Republican Congressman Bill Johnson’s bill – the “World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011.”
“It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation’s distinguished World War II veterans,” Johnson said. “President Roosevelt’s prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression.”
Roosevelt’s prayer asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith, saying: “With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.”
Fox News adds that Robert Abbey, the director of the Bureau of Land Management, said any plaque or inscription bearing the prayer would “dilute” the “elegant” memorial’s core message and therefore “should not be altered.“ Does Abbey mean to say that the memorial would no longer appear elegant if it contained a reference to ”God?” It appears so:
“It is not a judgment as to the merit of this new commemoration, simply that altering the Memorial in this way, as proposed in HR 2070, will necessarily dilute this elegant memorial’s central message and its ability to clearly convey that message to move, educate, and inspire its many visitors,” Abbey said in written testimony.
Abbey explained to lawmakers that altering the memorial would be contrary to the Commemorative Works Act — a law that prohibits “encroachment by a new commemoration on a existing one.” It also respects the design of the “completed work of civic art without alteration or addition of new elements.”
“For there to be objections to demonstrating a faith in God at critical points in our nation’s history – particularly D-Day – boggles my mind,” Johnson said. “I was very surprised they were going to object.”
Meanwhile, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council said he is not surprised by the objections.
“This is further evidence that the administration has created an environment that is hostile towards American history – but in particular towards Christianity,” Perkins told Fox News. “I hope America wakes up and realizes what this administration is doing to this country and how they want to radically and fundamentally change America.”

Note: The following powerful paper published by HisHolyChurch.org reveals that the world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it-You Decide:
“Apathy is the Ally of Tyranny:
Albert Einstein understood that “The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
The early Church formed a Living Network of people across the Roman Empire and beyond. Rome was no longer a republic. Christ had brought something new for those who would hear His message. In Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” he praised “the union and discipline of the Christian republic.”
In the hard times that came during the failure and fall of the Empire of Rome Christians not only survived but thrived as a people because they had learned the “mysteries of the kingdom of God”.
When the people lacked forgiveness and charity or through apathy faltered in the Christian community the Ministers were to rebuke and provoke them to gather together again.
The Kingdom of God was the right to be ruled by God but for that society to function “in the world but not of it”, it was required that diligent souls who sought the righteousness of God loved God and their neighbor as themselves and actually gathered and worked together.
The modern Church has not only preached a watered down “Gospel of the Kingdom” but it has become impotent as it neglects its duties and lulls the people into apathy and sloth.
God has a plan, a divine strategy, that he offered to the world sealed in the blood of Christ.
It has always been God’s plan to set men free in Spirit and in truth, but an apathetic belief is devoid of the love of Christ.
The Kingdom of God is not about your denomination. It is about Christ and His Way.
If you are not actively loving your neighbor as much as you love yourself then how can you claim to be real congregations of Christ? Even your local church groups must love other groups as much as they do themselves.
The Gospel of the kingdom taught men and women how to live by faith, hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty. Is that what your church is teaching you?
We must be doers and if Christ is with us we will be doers together.
Apathy and love are not compatible.
If the Spirit of Christ lives in us can apathy exist in our life?
Even Aldous Huxley could see that “Most human beings have an infinite capacity for taking things for granted.”
We cannot afford such selfish extravagance. Apathy is a disease of the heart and Christ is the cure.
Christ has the plan.
You need His Way to take you by storm.”

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Bob Unruh-On November 2, 2011:
“An organization that monitors the U.S. government’s influence on education, and specifically on parents who choose to school their own children, is warning of a pending move in Washington that would result in “de facto national education standards.”
The measure could not only require parents who homeschool their children to teach certain government agenda issues but also effectively remove much of the decision-making authority of local school boards and districts, warns theHome School Legal Defense Association.
The organization focuses on issues affecting homeschool students and their parents in the United States andoverseas but also keeps an eye on the larger picture of education policy.
The concern is about Democrat-driven plans in the U.S. Senate to reauthorize the Elementary and SecondaryEducation Act of 1965, a massive federal program last reauthorized in 2001 as the No Child Left Behind Act.
“HSLDA’s federal relations staff have read this 868-page bill, and we believe that while it does not directly impact homeschool freedom, the bill will 1) increase the federal role in education at the expense of state, local and parental control, and 2) will greatly increase the pressure on states to align their curriculum and standards, resulting in de facto national education standards,” said the report compiled by Melanie P. Palazzo, the organization’s congressional action program director, and William A. Estrada of the organization’s federal relations office.
HSLDA said the Senate Education Commission already has voted to approve the plan, but at the request of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., there will be a hearing Nov. 8. The homeschooling group is urging its constituents to contact committee members and express concern.
The group fears the bill “will greatly increase the federal government’s control over education.”
HSLDA said that as an organization it remained neutral on the 2001 NCLB update, “because it included strongly written protections for homeschoolers, and prohibitions on federal funding for national teacher certification, national standards, national testing, and national databases.”
“A decade later, nearly all education policy makers agree that NCLB is too inflexible. HSLDA believes this illustrates that the federal government should not be in the business of establishing education policy for the nation’s schoolchildren,” the report said.
Now the reauthorization plan raises concerns over “the failed ‘Washington-knows-best, one-size-fits-all’ approach.”
One provision of the bill specifically mandates that any state taking federal funds “must put in place ‘college andcareer ready aligned standards.’”
“Mandating that each state have aligned standards with aligned coursework will guarantee the creation of national academic standards, national curriculum, and national testing,” this week’s report on the controversy said.
“We believe this will result in the eventual requirement that homeschoolers use these national standards, curriculum, and testing,” the report said.
While some specifics that could be included in a final bill remain unclear, “the trend of national standards could lead to homeschoolers losing the freedom to choose the curriculum for their children.”
An earlier HSLDA report by Estrada pointed out that national standards would remove control from local boards and districts and allow “unelected bureaucrats, not parents” to decide what subjects should be taught.
“National standards are a first step to a national curriculum and national testing,” Estrada wrote. “Certain federal education funds to the states would be contingent on the states adopting the standards, which would place incredible pressure on the states to accept these national standards. And if some states resisted efforts to adopt the standards, this could easily lead to calls to make the standards mandatory in the name of being fair to all students. Furthermore, unelected bureaucrats would be able to choose what they believe every school child should be taught.”
Just last year, Estrada said that such was the situation with the Washington “Race to the Top” funding for schools.
“If the federal government funds something, the federal government is going to control it. What we have is a de facto set of nationalized education standards being created.”

In numerology, 9 is selflessness and compassion. It desires to apply its energy to universal service. This is the artist, the thinker who has developed skills through the preceding cycles and is now ready to share his or her knowledge with the rest of the world.
And now comes the end result of my eight developing cycles. Crater Lake is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. This magnificent scene is what has been left of a volcanic eruption 6,000 years ago. It was 40 times as great as the Mt. St. Helens eruption.
Out of a release of energy came the universe. From releases of energy came the elements on which we depend. Releases of energy—cyclic, orderly, changing all—all part of the universe; so am I.
Larry Dossey, M.D., in his Healing Words:
“In the fourteenth century, an anonymous English monk, believed to be the author of The Cloud of Unknowing, an exalted religious tract that deeply influenced the religious life of the time, added his lament to the futility of addressing and even thinking about the Universal. “But now you will ask me,” said he, “How am I to think of God himself, and what is he? And I cannot answer you accept to say I don't know! For with this question you have brought me into the cloud of unknowing. Of God himself can no man think.”
The message of fourteenth century English monks was, “Don’t think; let us think for you.” It was exactly this thinking that had people looking for a way out of religious tyranny. America was a way out. America’s Founding fathers declared their independence from England’s religious and secular tyranny, namely King George’s tax.
I was created with reason and logic, for which to think. I thank those Americans who came before me who realized that God-given right, and made it the law of the land that I be permitted to think and build a life for myself. We call it free enterprise. It’s what made America great.
Like early Americans, in 1975 I drove away from my old life to an unknown future, but with a mission. I’d studied the Constitution and imagined that voices of the past were personally speaking to me. This was because I planned to take action to protect my constitutional right to be self-governed, to think for myself. Judicial activists maintain that law must be in accordance with the present time, the present time determined by the vote. The law can be anything. The present law in America says government entitlements supersede individual rights to the fruits of one’s labor. My God-given right as been reversed back to government rights. Government has assumed the right to think for me, the very reason Europeans migrated to America.
In the previous eight cycles of my development, I’ve learned it was predestined that I would take up the cause of self-government and free enterprise. My cause brings up Ayn Rand, author of the epic Atlas Shrugged. Rand holds the philosophy that reality is an objective absolute. Says my guru, quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, in The Physics of Consciousness, in Chapter 18, under A God for Tomorrow, “Now we see that the independent existence of matter and the absoluteness of space were false dogma. But it has only been with advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation. . .The tests of Bell’s theorem have shown us that objective reality as it has been conceived is not the true fabric of reality. The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness, the substance of this newfound reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.”
Rand’s conception that capitalism brings prosperity and happiness is not so. It is not so that big government brings prosperity and happiness, these two ideas bringing about great division. Knowledge and values brings prosperity and happiness. Objective, without mind, every situation in recorded history that brought about war can be attributed to the English monk’s words: “of God no man can think,” the 9-11 event is an emblem of this nonsense. If no man can think of God, and God ordered the 9-11 event, why did God create man with reason and logic? Everything radical Islam does defies reason and logic. Placing government entitlement ahead of the God-given right to the fruits of one’s labor defies reason and logic.
The land of your possession, God’s promise, the land Joshua and the Israelites took by force from the Canaanites defies reason and logic. If no man can think God’s will, why did God create man with reason and logic?
When we can step back and observe the big picture, what appeared to be chaotic and out of control is harmonious and symmetric. “My theory, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed,” the thought of Christopher Morely. The Englishman, John of Salisbury, the first systematic writer on politics in the Middle Ages, wrote “there are certain precepts of the law which have perpetual necessity, having the force of law among all nations and which absolutely cannot be broken.” Asserted Justice Jackson, “The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy.” “Born for justice,” said the father of modern law, the Roman judge Cicero, “and right is not the mere arbitrary construction of opinion but an institution of nature.” Sorry, Rand’s dog won’t hunt, and neither will Marx’s dog. We were not created with hive mentality.
From the calamity my life had become to what was the beginning of a beautiful life, I heard voices of the past and believed they would lead me to my destiny, my karmic mission in this life. Thirty-six years later, I’m living in my dream home in the tall timber near Mt. Hood, Oregon, with my one true love, my wife Karen, doing the things that bring me the most pleasure.
I came to a jumping off place in my life. A release of energy took place when I decided to take affirmative action against those who insist on doing my thinking for me. Here I am, “the artist, the thinker who has developed skills through the preceding cycles and is now ready to share his or her knowledge with the rest of the world.”
From an accurate outline of the law, professor of law Edward S. Corwin left us The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, a 2,000 year history of the law. From Corwin’s essay I received my bigger than life calling. God helps those who help themselves.
http://http://psychodd1.blogspot.com/2011/11/vote-no-for-obama.html
There are so many reasons to vote against Obama in 2012,here are just a few.
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Thursday he opposes the Republican measure that seeks to reaffirm's the country's "In God We Trust" motto.
The resolution overwhelmingly passed the House on Wednesday, attracting only nine "no" votes. Paul, who is running for president, missed the vote.
Paul said he didn't think the resolution was necessary, saying he wouldn't have brought it up.
"I would have voted 'no' not because I don't like the motto and don't think we can use it but 'no' because we were telling the states what to do," Paul told The Hill.
The GOP measure stands behind the national motto, which is used in public schools, public buildings and other government institutions.
President Obama on Wednesday mocked the House for voting on the measure instead of focusing on job creation.
The only Republican to reject the resolution was freshman Rep. Justin Amash (Mich.), who has endorsed Paul for president.

Thanks to Obama & His Puppet Master!
Posted on The Blaze-By Jonathon M. Seidl-On November 3, 2011:
“OAKLAND, Calif. (The Blaze/AP) — A day of demonstrations in Oakland that began as a significant step toward expanding the political and economic influence of the Occupy Wall Street movement, ended with police in riot gear arresting dozens of protesters who had marched through downtown to break into a vacant building, shattering windows, spraying graffiti and setting fires along the way.
“We go from having a peaceful movement to now just chaos,” said protester Monique Agnew, 40.
{…}
KTVU-TV has more:
The confrontation began after protesters started a large bonfire in the middle of a downtown street. Dozens of police in riot gear moved in on hundreds of protesters as the flames leapt more than 15 feet in the air from several large metal and plastic trash bins that had been pushed together.
Police warned protesters to clear out before firing several rounds of tear gas and “flash bang” grenades to clear the area.
In the aftermath of the police actions, protesters with cloth wrapped around their faces to protect them from the stench of the gas marched through the area chanting, “Whose streets? Our streets.”
Some marchers wore gas masks.
Glass covered streets and sidewalks from windows of area businesses that were shattered.
{…}
The far-flung movement of protesters challenging the world’s economic systems and distribution of wealth has gained momentum in recent weeks, capturing the world‘s attention by shutting down one of the nation’s busiest shipping ports toward the end of a daylong “general strike” that prompted solidarity rallies across the U.S.
About 3,000 people converged on the Port of Oakland, the nation’s fifth-busiest harbor, in a nearly five-hour protest Wednesday, swarming the area and blocking exits and streets with illegally parked vehicles and hastily-erected, chain-link fences.
Port officials said they were forced to cease maritime operations, citing concerns for workers’ safety. They said in a statement they hope to resume operations Thursday “and that Port workers will be allowed to get to their jobs without incident. Continued missed shifts represent economic hardship for maritime workers, truckers, and their families, as well as lost jobs and lost tax revenue for our region.”
Supporters in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and elsewhere staged smaller-scale demonstrations; each group saying its protest was a show of support for the Oakland movement, which became a rallying point when an Iraq War veteran was seriously injured in a clash with police last week.
The larger Occupy movement has yet to coalesce into an organized association and until the port shut down had largely been limited scattershot marches, rallies and tent encampments since it began in September.
Organizers in Oakland had viewed the day as a significant victory. Police said that about 7,000 people participated in demonstrations throughout the day that were peaceful except for a few incidents of vandalism. In fact, the city’s mayor called it a “good day” for the protesters and the “99 percent movement:”
{…}
One of the protest leaders, Boots Riley, touted the day as a success, saying “we put together an ideological principle that the mainstream media wouldn’t talk about two months ago.”
His comments came before a group of demonstrators moved to break into the Travelers Aid building in order to, as some shouting protesters put it, “reclaim the building for the people.”
{…}
Riley, whose anti-capitalist views are well-documented, considered the port shut down particularly significant for organizers who targeted it in an effort to stop the “flow of capital.” The port sends goods primarily to Asia, including wine as well as rice, fruits and nuts, and handles imported electronics, apparel and manufacturing equipment, mostly from Asia, as well as cars and parts from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai. An accounting of the financial toll from the shutdown was not immediately available.
The potential for the chaos that ultimately erupted was not something Riley wanted to even consider.
“If they do that after all this …” He paused, then added, “They’re smarter than that.”
But the peace that abided throughout the day, did not last into the night.
Occupy protesters voicing anger over a budget trim that forced the closure of a homeless aid program converged on the empty building where it had been housed. They blocked off city streets with Dumpsters and other large trash bins, starting bonfires that leapt 15-feet in the air.
City officials released a statement describing the spasm of unrest.
“Oakland Police responded to a late night call that protesters had broken into and occupied a downtown building and set several simultaneous fires,” the statement read. “The protesters began hurling rocks, explosives, bottles, and flaming objects at responding officers. Several private and municipal buildings sustained heavy vandalism. Dozens of protesters wielding shields were surrounded and arrested.”
Protesters reported running from several rounds of tear gas and bright flashes and deafening pops that some thought were caused by “flash bang” grenades. Fire crews arrived and suppressed the flames.
Meanwhile, protesters and police faced off for the rest of the night in an uneasy standoff.
{…}
In Philadelphia, protesters were arrested earlier Wednesday as they held a sit-in at the headquarters of cable giant Comcast
In New York, about 100 military veterans marched in uniform and stopped in front of the New York Stock Exchange, standing in loose formation as police officers on scooters separated them from the entrance. On the other side was a lineup of NYPD horses carrying officers with nightsticks.
“We are marching to express support for our brother, (Iraq war veteran) Scott Olsen, who was injured in Oakland,” said Jerry Bordeleau, a former Army specialist who served in Iraq through 2009.
The veterans were also angry that returned from war to find few job prospects.
“Wall Street corporations have played a big role in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Bordeleau, now a college student. He said private contractors have reaped big profits in those countries.
In Boston, college students and union workers marched on Bank of America offices, the Harvard Club and the Statehouse to protest the nation’s burgeoning student debt crisis.
They say total outstanding student loans exceed credit card debt, increase by $1 million every six minutes and will reach $1 trillion this year, potentially undermining the economy.
“There are so many students that are trying to get jobs and go on with their lives,” said Sarvenaz Asasy of Boston, who joined the march after recently graduating with a master’s degree and $60,000 in loan debt. “They‘ve educated themselves and there are no jobs and we’re paying tons of student loans. For what?”
And among the other protests in Oakland, parents and their kids, some in strollers, joined in by forming a “children’s brigade.”
“There’s absolutely something wrong with the system,” said Jessica Medina, a single mother who attends school part time and works at an Oakland cafe. “We need to change that.”

I. ‘Shut This City Down’: Inside Occupy Wall Street’s Anti-Police Racial Justice March!
Posted on The Blaze-By Buck Sexton-On November 3, 2011:
“During Occupy Wall Street’s March for Racial Justice and Against Police Brutality march last night, the Occupiers gave me a glimpse into their game plan going forward, and it’s looks like things could get really ugly.
In strategic terms, the OWS next phase plan can be broken down into two parts:
It is not clear to me in what order those events will occur, or when either will be attempted, but I do believe after hearing and seeing the marchers in action that both a confrontation and shutdown are now goals of the OWS movement.
What I observed last night was a march that highlighted Occupy Oakland’s new temporary status as the heart of the resistance and the Occupiers’ deep rage against the police.
Solidarity with Occupy Oakland has in fact become a huge rallying cry for the Wall Street Occupiers. Their recent clash with Oakland police resulted in the serious injury of Iraq war veteran, Scott Olson, which has given considerable momentum to the overall Occupy movement.
In addition, the Port of Oakland has been successfully shut down, much to the pleasure of the Occupy Wall Street crowd in Zuccotti Park. While there are rumors that Oakland, not downtown New York, will officially become the epicenter of the OWS movement, what I saw during the March For Racial Justice Against Police Brutality led me to believe that the Wall Street Occupiers are readying for their next phase.
I arrived at Zuccotti around 3:00 PM yesterday. A group of Occupy Veterans had marched in protest from Zuccotti park earlier that afternoon, and I could still see some men milling around the crowd in army digitized camouflage uniforms later on as the sun was setting.
The organizers left little to the imagination regarding OWS plans going forward. More “general strikes” are in the works, it’s just a matter of organizing the participants and picking a day. As the Occupiers prepared to march on Police Headquarters (located at 1 Police Plaza, and often referred to as One-PP), one organizer gave the crowd some history on general strikes, and explained that the Occupiers hope to shut down cities across the country and the globe.
Here is a transcript of her comments on the Occupy Oakland and the way ahead:
”The last city in the United States to have had a general strike, it was 1946. Today is not quite a general strike, it’s not too f***ing bad, in fact right now there are at least 5,000 gathered at the spot of Occupy Oakland three hours before the rally. Many city workers were told not to bother, don’t come in, shut the city down. Many students, as well as teachers and professors, have walked out of school, and are gathering in Occupy Oakland. And we are here today to stand in solidarity along with our brothers and sisters in Tahrir Square, in Chicago, in Denver, and in Oakland. Because ours is a global movement, and this is our day of action.”
And below is the raw video from the event:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-lcqzMWs9c&feature=player_embedded
Another march organizer was even more explicit in his threats about citywide shutdowns:
“We are Oakland. If you move on Oakland we’ll shut you down. If you move on New york, well shut you down. The people have the right to stand up whatever city they’re in. Right now new york is showing you the happy face, Oakland showed you the other face so we here we’ll deal with the face were given. If we see the ugly one, we’ll move on it. If they let us stay here we’ll be here in peace. The choice is not that of the 99, it’s of the 100. The 1% will suffer the consequence if they try to take away our rights. New york in general strike, Houston in general strike Sacramento in general strike. We will go wherever we need to when they try to shut us down.”
Below is a short clip of that exchange on city shutdowns across America:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upkmAPOgKgA&feature=player_embedded
A member of Iraq Veterans Against the War seemed to have a Freudian slip when he told the crowd that they were about to embark on an illegal march, and some of them would probably be arrested. He was quickly corrected by agitated organizers who stated their belief that the Constitution gives them the right to march when they want, where they want, without heed of local laws.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8heyLBs3JuM&feature=player_embedded
The march, technically called the “March For Racial Justice and Against Police Brutality,” moved north up Broadway without incident. The usual gaggle of reporters and photographers walked a few feet ahead of the main protest group and jockeyed for the best oncoming shot. Along with the standard refrain of ”All day, all week, occupy wall street,” the protestors worked in the chant of ”Oakland, New York, Wisconsin, We Will Fight, We Will Win.”
But most interesting to me was the cry of “Students and workers, shut this city down.”
{…}
I arrived just a few minutes ahead of the main protest column at NYPD headquarters. There were metal barricades around the entire space, and police standing at intervals of about 10 feet on all sides. Somewhere around 500 protestors were gathered.
Some Occupiers in the crowd worried aloud that it was a “trap” by the NYPD, and that the police were going to pen in all of the protestors and arrest them en masse. On the contrary, and to the Occupiers’ apparent disappointment, I overheard several NYPD officers explain to protestors who asked them that they were free to gather and speak to their hearts’ content within the plaza area enclosed by the barricades.
{…}
Once all elements of the march caught up, the anti-police portion of the evening kicked into full swing. The human microphone was actually necessary this time, as the people were packed in closely enough that it was difficult to get near “facilitators” who gave the speeches.
One of those facilitators pointed to NYPD headquarters in the background and said that “to people of color, this building is a tombstone…here lies Sean Bell… Abner Louima…” and listed the names of several more individuals killed by police. The speech went on to call for the protestors to “make some noise for Oscar Grant,” referring to an unarmed man killed by police in Oakland whose death lead to widespread looting and riots.
Accidental or not, and regardless of punishments meted out to the officers who made grave errors, all the police were considered guilty last night.
“We will defend these neighborhoods,” another Occupiers said, ”we will march to these communities of color.” The theme was simple enough: the police are bad, and the Occupiers will march on poor neighborhoods to further impress upon minorities that the police are racist murderers.
The Occupiers even took an oath to to this effect on the spot. One organizer told the crowd to raise their right hands, and say ”I swear to protest under the First amendment Rights whenever there are acts of brutality or other oppression of rights for communities of color.”
But the moment that received the biggest reaction from the crowd was when an Occupy Oakland medic who claimed to have been with Scott Olson on the night he was wounded spoke up about the recent clash with police. A placard with Olson’s photo on it was passed around the crowd, carried by Sgt. Shamar Thomas, famous for his own clash with the NYPD on October 15th.
{…}
As I walked away from the protest in front of 1PP, it became clear to me that Occupy is putting a dangerous narrative in place. The Occupiers are setting up the police as the enemy, and Occupiers are the so-called liberators. Whatever Occupiers have to do in the course of their revolution to end oppression will be justified in their minds, because the alternative is racism and murder at the hands of the police, or so the propaganda goes.
It is a deeply cynical premise that will be incredibly effective at inciting a mob.
Based upon what I saw, I think the protestors will purposefully flout the law at some point with a sit-in or street blockade, knowing that if the authorities use force in response, they will be skewered in the media. Once the message of “police brutality” is sufficiently embedded in the public discussion surrounding Occupy, the protestors will be able engage in direct action with impunity.
Then they can really “shut this city down.”
If the people of the City of New York decide the Occupiers cannot be touched– for fear of causing a casualty like Scott Olson in Oakland– the Occupation will have won a massive psychological victory.
And if somehow the police brutality meme fails to seep deep enough into the public mind, the Occupiers will continue orchestrated face-offs until there are so many “police brutality” videos on the internet, only those paying close attention will know that it was all planned to be that way from the start.
{…}
Assuming that happens, honest citizens will be left wondering how all the ensuing chaos and violence could ever be necessary. If the Occupiers really are the 99%, why couldn’t they just vote for leaders who would reform Wall Street? Wasn’t that the whole point?
But we already know the answer. The Occupiers have said it from the beginning:
‘It’s revolution, not reform.’

Posted on The Hill-By Dr. David Hill-On November 1, 2011:
“Last week’s column asserting that the president is unelectable has triggered strong responses. Democrats, in particular, seem to think my judgment is premature. It strikes them as ridiculous that anyone could make such a “bold prediction” so far in advance of the 2012 election. Hey, that’s what we do, as seasoned political professionals, as pollsters. But I must stress that I am not so much making a personal prediction as drawing an informed conclusion based on all the numbers available. I do this in each election cycle for other candidates, and it’s time to make the call on President Obama.
Whenever I have an incumbent client running for reelection, I insist on a viability study about a year out from the election — so, in the case of the presidential race, right about now. Anything that I do for my own, I should do for the opposition. So here goes. First, I look at the polling results from traditional “deserves reelection” questions, the gold standard of viability testing. The most recent nationwide public poll I could find was one conducted by Quinnipiac University early last month. It showed 42 percent saying the president deserves reelection while 54 percent say he doesn’t. While this reelect number by itself is not necessarily a doomsday figure, it’s the 54 percent on the con side that’s a killer. Most often, there is a large undecided percentage, but here it’s only 4 points. Voters have closed their minds — and the book on this president. It ensures that when Obama faces a Republican nominee, the undecided voters in early polling will eventually vote against an undeserved reelection.
The second numbers I peruse are perceptions of accomplishments. Eventually, Republicans will ask voters, “What has Barack Obama really accomplished?” and he must answer. A Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted in his first year found that only 14 percent of all voters felt he had accomplished “a great deal ” during his initial nine months in office, his “salad days.” I cannot find evidence that the same question has been asked lately, but is there any chance that the result would be much different? In its Moving America Forward manifesto, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee says Obama, with help from congressional Democrats, has five accomplishments: created private sector jobs, reduced debt, kept taxes low, passed a healthcare plan and reformed Wall Street. That’s the group’s best list. Do you think most Americans believe Obama has accomplished those things? Aside from passing a healthcare plan, he has done almost none of that, in the public’s mind. According to the latest AP polling, conducted in mid-October, the president’s average approval rating across those five areas is 42 percent. Obama brings no record of genuine accomplishment to his bid for reelection.
The third set of determinative data for an incumbent is perception of the direction of the nation or state. Everyone knows this is the biggest problem for Obama. The latest CBS/New York Times poll has the “right direction” at 21 percent. It hasn’t been above 30 percent since the early summer. Incumbents simply don’t get reelected when three-fourths of the electorate see things “seriously off” on the “wrong track.” Even if Obama’s approval ratings or likability were better, he could not overcome the negative sentiment that demands a change in direction. Americans are going to demand and get change next November.
So Obama fails on all counts. The numbers say that voters don’t think he deserves reelection, he has no meaningful accomplishments, and the nation is headed off in the wrong direction under his watch. He is simply not viable by any measure. That’s an empirically informed, hard-nosed judgment. This isn’t a movie or fantasy tale where a miracle occurs at the last moment to save the day. If Democrat campaign professionals don’t start acknowledging the same, and intervening, they risk Obama bringing down their entire ticket.”

Vets, Small Businessmen to March for Impeachment on Veterans Day
While the media have lavished attention upon the Occupy Wall Street movement (although perhaps not on every aspect of that movement), they have turned a blind eye to a march two national patriotic organizations have scheduled for Veterans Day — 11/11/2011 — calling for the immediate resignation or impeachment of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and every official in the Obama administration.
The march on Washington is being organized by Veteran Defenders and the Patriots Union, headed by Major General Paul Vallely.
Its flyer states, “Veterans have called for the resignation or impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama, Joseph Biden, and every member of the Obama administration and they are headed to Washington, D.C. — November 11, 2011.”
Americans patriots must stand with military veterans “not just to celebrate our soldiers,” the flyer continues, “but to take our government back from anti-American thugs currently destroying the greatest nation on earth!”
The organizers hope to effect the resignation or impeachment of the president and vice president, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, Leon Panetta, Hilda Solis, Timothy Geithner, Arne Duncan, Lisa Jackson, Supreme Court justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, every czar, and every other member of the most corrupt administration in memory.
This rally is not merely for veterans. Veteran Defenders’s “Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic” states, “We call upon ALL independent truckers, independent contractors, all non-union workers, all independent business owners, agents and investors, all who support free-market capitalism and the right to work, earn and own, to march together with our veterans and former service members on November 11, 2011 – Veterans Day!” (Emphasis in original.)
It further states that “in the event that these individuals refuse to immediately resign in an orderly fashion,” the congressmen who voted against raising the debt ceiling must “immediately begin impeachment proceedings against every member of the Obama administration.”
To reestablish the Constitution as the law of the land, the Declaration demands that “every verifiable member of The Communist Party USA, The Socialist Party USA and The
Democratic Socialists of America be immediately publicly identified and removed from office for overtly acting against freedom, liberty and the Constitutional Republic.” This would sweep such radical leftists as Bernie Sanders and Jan Schakowsky from office. Indeed, in October 2009, the DSA released a list of 70 Congressmen who purportedly hold membership in that socialist organization alone.
It would also like to see special interest House groups, such as the Congressional Black Caucus, disbanded.
Many of the two organizations’ aims are presented in this video.
Maj. Gen. Vallely (Ret.) is an outspoken patriot who has previously proposed laws reasserting states’ rights to refuse to implement unconstitutional federal legislation.
These hearty men fought bravely to preserve freedom abroad. In this cold winter of our republic’s history, they must fight again to ensure its survival at home.
