Are you, the American tax payer the Enemy?

Mr. Obama recently did an interview on Hispanic TV trying to get Hispanics out to vote.  He is catering to the illegal Hispanic groups and population that have come into our country illegally.  He is asking for their help in our election next week.  CASA de Maryland and other like groups do voter registration for the Democrats with public funding---go figure.

He has called all American citizens and Republicans who do not agree with his open border policy the "ENEMY".  He wants the groups who support illegal immigration and anchor babies to fight their enemy--American citizens who pay taxes.  Obama is a socialist and is not doing the number one job of the President of the United States of securing our borders and protecting all US citizens.  He uses the race card and has divided the country--where is that Hope and Change?

Mr. Obama is using class warfare, skin color, and fear to get Hispanics, Blacks, and union voters to the polls next week.  He is a discredit to the office and is using Chicago politics from his community organizer days to cause voter fraud.  While he is encouraging illegals to vote, his administration is not supporting the right to vote of our military members.  This is wrong and shows how Obama and the Democrats use voter fraud to sway elections.  If the Black Panthers were part of the military, we would have immediate action....

We in the United States need voter verification and term limits for our elected officials.  The Congressional and local districts are rigged for certain politicians and people to win elections--not represent the American voter.

We need to stop Obama and his party next week at the polls--let's take back our country from the socialist race baiters and the far, far left.

Congrats to the Americans who "will not take it any more".  Many of us are tired of "career politicians" who think they are entitled to a life time job in Congress.  The sleeping giant, American citizens who are tired of the elites, is now awake and mad as hell.  We want to throw out all of the "BUMS" who vote for liberal causes such as Obamacare, TARO, Cap and Trade, and put our nation at risk with the debt. 

The "tea party" and conservative Americans partied last big night because the establishmnet-both Democrat and Republican Parties hear our anger.  We are tired of the liberal socialist elected officials throwing away our future.  Good bye to mike Castle.  Look out Senators Snowe and Collins.  If it was not for the vote of Senator Snowe who is a Republican in name only, we would not have Obamacare.

In one of the most stunning results of the midterm season, marketing consultant Christine O'Donnell, backed with endorsements from tea party activists and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, became the latest "outsider" candidate to knock off an establishment-backed Republican by defeating Rep. Michael N. Castle in Delaware's Senate primary.

We as American tax paying citizens are tired of members of Congress lying and stealing, yet get to keep their job.  An example is York City, scandal-tarred Democratic veteran Rep. Charles B. Rangel who was reelected.  How stupid are the voters in Harlem who return a crook to Congress.

In yet another tea party-engineered upset, businessman Carl Paladino was declared the winner over former GOPRep. Rick Lazio in New York's gubernatorial primary, and will take on Democratic state Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo.  Even liberal New York is tired of liberal spending socialists and Obama.

"The common-sense men and women of Delaware are tired of the 'same old' coming out of Washington. They don't want more of the same," Ms. O'Donnell told a crowd of exhilarated supporters. "Well, we are not more of the same."

Her win follows an almost equally unforeseen victory last month for tea party favorite Joe Miller in the Alaska Senate primary, ousting GOP incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has not yet ruled out a write-in bid. Mr. Castle, a nine-term House member and former governor who was re-elected two years ago with 61 percent of the vote, was considered a heavy favorite to win the GOP primary for the seat formerly held by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

We must keep up the pressure on elected officials and get the voters to the polls.  We have to restore common sense, fiscal responsibility, limited government, and have elected officials do their job for the nation, not for themselves or special interest groups.   We must have term limits, no retirement for members of Congress, and a flat tax so they cannot screw the tax payers.

The oil spill in the Gulf must be closed by bombing the drilling holes.  This makes sense in order to stop the flow of oil into the waters of the Gulf.  However, BP does not want to do this since it will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars and they will never get back to this oil location and not recovering their investment.

BP has not acted in a responsible manner and our government must take the necessary actions to stop the flow of oil, no matter the cost.  Stop the flow now.

Who is responsible for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill?  It is a combination of industry and government.  However, the oil leak must be stopped before it destroys the Gulf and the entire Gulf coast between the U.S. and Mexico.  This amount of oil will harm and destroy marine animals and the jobs of thousands.

When oil companies drill in marine locations, they must have the ability to control any unexpected technical issues.  If the water is too deep to control technical issues, then they should not drill in those depths.  We must be able to control drilling so it does not destroy our natural environments.

BP was not ready to control this type oil spill and has not performed well in finding a solution.  All oil companies must evaluate their processes and ensure they have technical controls for marine oil rigs.  The latest "experiment" using a mile-(1.6-kilometer) long pipe has not worked to capture much of the oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.

Engineers hit a snag when they tried to connect two pieces of equipment a mile (1.6 kilometer) below the water's surface. BP PLC chief operating officer Doug Suttles said one piece of equipment, called the framework, had to be brought to the water's surface so that adjustments could be made to where it fits with the long tube that connects to a tanker above.

The framework holds a pipe and stopper, and engineers piloting submarine robots will try to use it to plug the massive leak and send the crude through the lengthy pipe to the surface.  "The frame shifted, so they were unable to make that connection," said Suttles, who believes the adjustments will make the device work.

At least 210,000 gallons (795,000 liters) of oil has been gushing into the Gulf of Mexico since the oil rig exploded April 20 and sank two days later. Eleven people were killed in the blast.

A week ago, the company tried to put a massive box over the leak, but icelike crystals formed and BP scrapped that plan.  BP is also drilling a relief well that is considered the permanent solution to stopping the leak. It's about halfway done and still months away from being completed. The company also is still considering using a smaller containment dome known as a "top hat," as well as a "junk shot," in which golf balls and rubber would be inserted to try to clog the leak.

Meanwhile, BP began spraying undersea dispersants at that leak site and said the chemicals appear to have reduced the amount of surface oil. 

The federal government must be very proactive in solving this oil spill.  Find a solution to the oil spill.

We have been saying for years that our southern border is as unsecured and dangerous as the border between Iraq and Iran.  Now that Senator McCain is in a real primary race with J.D. Hayworth, he has changed his opinion of border security with illegal aliens and drug runners. 

The Mexican drug violence is all across the United States and due to limited drug routes, more and more people across our southern border are being threatened and killed.  With border violence flaring again, the two U.S. senators from Arizona on Monday called on President Obama to deploy 3,000 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in their state, saying the borders must be secured before the White House pursues a broader immigration bill.

Due to Senator McCain's "open border comprehensive immigration reform", he wants to show us that he is tough on illegal immigrants before he gives them US rights and allow these law-breakers a path to our citizenship so they vote with the liberal Democrats against us.

The call from Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl, both Republicans, was made the same day Arizona's Legislature approved a bill to make it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant. The measure now goes to Gov. Jan Brewer, who has not taken a position on the measure.  We are glad that the current DHS Secretary is not in Arizona so the state legislatures can finally pass legislation that will target the illegals with breaking current laws.

"It's a very important step forward," said Mr. McCain, who in the past had fought for a broad bill legalizing illegal immigrants but who on Monday said illegal immigration has led to deteriorating security in Arizona.

The senators said they want Mr. Obama to deploy 3,000 National Guard troops until Arizona's governor certifies that the government has operational control. They also said an additional 3,000 Border Patrol agents should be sent to the state over the next five years.

Mr. McCain and Mr. Kyl called on the Justice Department to expand a program that guarantees illegal immigrants serve time in jail, rather than being immediately sent back across the border. Mr. Kyl said the program has shown great promise where it's been used. A Homeland Security spokesman said the administration is evaluating law enforcement options, including using the National Guard, but pointed to strides made over the past five years to boost the U.S. Border Patrol.

"The Border Patrol is better staffed today than at any time in its 85-year history," said spokesman Matt Chandler, pointing to the more than 4,000 agents in Arizona and 20,000 total across the country, or more than twice the number compared with six years ago.

Security along the border has become a national issue again after a rancher was killed on the U.S. side of the border in what authorities say could have been related to a drug cartel, and after two U.S. citizens and a Mexican employee of the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, were killed. Both incidents happened last month.

"Things are out of control. We need the help of troops that are deployed along the border," said Paul R. Babeu, sheriff of Pinal County in central Arizona, who appeared with Cochise County Sheriff Larry A. Dever and the two senators at a news conference at the Capitol.

Sheriff Babeu said he has seen a marked increase in the past four months in the aggressiveness of those crossing the border illegally and that they are more frequently armed.

He said illegal immigrants have figured out that police rules require officers to stop pursuits if citizens are endangered. That has led to illegal immigrants intentionally trying to run other drivers off the road in an effort to force police to give up the chase.

Republicans' push to highlight border security could hurt Mr. Obama's efforts to pass an immigration bill this year. Last year, Ms. Napolitano, who was governor of Arizona until joining the Obama administration, said the U.S. border was secure enough that Congress should enact a bill to legalize the estimated 20 million illegal immigrants already in the U.S. and provide a way for more foreign workers.

But Republicans are questioning that idea after the recent killings, including that of Rob Krentz, a rancher near the U.S.-Mexico border who may have been targeted by drug cartels.

In the wake of that killing, the Arizona Legislature has acted. The bill sent Monday to the governor would require police to conduct immigration-status checks when they find someone they think might be in the country illegally, and it makes it a state crime to be there without authorization.

It also makes it illegal to knowingly hire or transport illegal immigrants.

"Most of us in law enforcement welcome this legislation," said Sheriff Babeu. He said it brings uniformity to the state, so all police know what's expected of them, and illegal immigrants know the penalties.  For Mr. McCain, who is now involved in a tough primary battle with former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, Monday's embrace of a security bill was controversial.

He was a key author of an immigration-reform bill a few years ago and was a chief backer of efforts in 2006 and 2007 to pass a measure through the Senate. But after that 2007 bill failed, Mr. McCain said voters need to be convinced that the borders are secure before they will accept any action on legalizing illegal immigrants.

Mr. Hayworth called Mr. McCain's move an "election-year gimmick," while immigrant rights groups said they felt betrayed by a former ally.  "What a sad day," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, a leading advocacy group. "Obviously, John McCain is fighting for his political life in Arizona. I sure miss the days when he fought for his principles."

I hope the voters of Arizona do not give McCain a free pass on this issue---vote for J.D.

Tens of thousands of legal US citizens across America and in Washington, DC this weekend want the health care bill to be killed.  We loyal tax-paying citizens do not want Obamacare and the liberals or federal government to control our health care.  We must take back our country from the far-left and socialists elected officials in this country.  This is a fight like the founding fathers had to fight for freedom against the British.

A "Kill-the-Bill" message rang out from a giant crowd of 50,000 Tea Party activists who gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday for a last-minute protest against Congress's efforts to pass the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government-run healthcare plan.  There are millions of people in the US that could not come to Washington, but they want the federal government out of their lives.

There are many pictures from the massive gathering in Washington yesterday, but will the liberal media show them to you?.  Realize that this rally was literally put together in 2-days time by a coalition of dozens upon dozens of local and national Tea Party organizations including the Tea Party Express.  Does Pelosi, Reed, or Obama think that the members of the Tea Party are just far-right people who do not represent real Americans?   No, they just do not want to listen to the American people and are focused on passing this bill as any cost.

We're going to watch and see what Congress does. They've heard from the American people who believe in individual freedom and our Constitution.  The polls (60%) show the public opposes this attempt to have the government take over our nation's healthcare system. The phones have been tied up with people calling in to oppose the bill. Emails and letters and FAXes opposing the bill number well into the millions.

If the members of Congress defy the American people, defy our Constitution, and push this bill through, then we will make sure they lose their seats in Congress.  That is exactly what the "Tea Party Express is all about.  We want elected officials who support what is in our national interests, not what a certain group or Party wants to jam down our throats.

Members of Congress: Should you choose to defy your boss - which is "We The People" - then expect that as a consequence you will be fired. 

Virginia just elected Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and he is making history by challenging the authority of the federal government.  All states should challenge the federal government when the Congress or Executive Branch imposes unfunded mandates, job-killing policies, or outlandish taxes. Examples of this are the Cap and Trade legislation, health care legislation, mandated unemployment payments, raising the debt ceiling that imposes more taxes, and environmental policies that affect jobs.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli took a gutsy and intelligent step Feb. 17 when he petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider its ill-advised "finding" that carbon dioxide creates an endangerment for human health. The endangerment finding would let the EPA battle alleged global warming by regulating emissions of CO2, which of course is the gas that every animal and person exhales with every breath. The finding was ludicrous from the start, and now Mr. Cuccinelli makes a reasonable case that it also was unlawful.

"Attorney General Cuccinelli believes that the EPA acted in an arbitrary and capricious fashion and failed to properly exercise its judgment by relying almost exclusively on reports from the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an arm of the United Nations] in attributing climate change to [human-caused] greenhouse gas emissions," the AG's office explains. "The IPCC is an international body that is not subject to U.S. data quality and transparency standards and the IPCC prepared their reports in total disregard to U.S. Standards."

Since the EPA finding was issued, the IPPC's reports have become subject to scandal on multiple fronts. Those scandals reached a crescendo when a British newspaper, the Daily Mail, reported Feb. 14 that "The academic at the center of the 'Climategate' affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble 'keeping track' of the information. ... And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no 'statistically significant' warming."

Obviously, if the EPA were relying on bad data like all of the other climate-change fanatics, it ought to reconsider its plans to further strangle our struggling economy with more unnecessary red tape.  Mr. Cuccinelli argues that the EPA failed to meet its responsibility to conduct appropriate cost-benefit analysis, and that the economic harm to American citizens - including Virginians - would outweigh any purported benefits of the new regulations. As the AG put it, "We cannot allow unelected bureaucrats with political agendas to use falsified data to regulate American industry and drive our economy into the ground."

We agree with this challenge to the EPA.  States must challenge the federal government in order to restore fiscal responsibility and policies that are good for the nation since Congress is self-centered on their political careers.

We in Maryland have a state supported organization that helps illegals and thinks that they are above the law.  When will citizens of Maryland stop supporting payments to CASA of Maryland?  Our police do their job to protect us and they get sued by a left-wing organization that has the support of the Governor.  If Maryland stopped providing support to illegal aliens, we taxpayers would save $500 M a year.

Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, among others, is the target of a federal lawsuit filed by a Hispanic immigrant. Roxana Orellana Santos' $1 million suit alleges that her civil rights were violated when two of Jenkins' deputies approached and subsequently arrested her in Frederick last October.
 
Santos claims she was simply eating lunch outdoors when she was profiled by the deputies because of her appearance. Kerry O'Brien is the director of services for CASA de Maryland, an immigrant advocacy organization, and one of several groups that has taken up Santos' cause. O'Brien's position is that Santos was neither committing a crime when she was arrested, nor charged with one after being detained.
 
Perhaps not, but is that the real issue here? The two deputies on the scene said Santos tried to hide when she saw them -- behavior that properly aroused their suspicion. A routine search on a national database turned up a federal immigration warrant, and, after discovering that, the deputies arrested Santos. Many in Frederick County no doubt find it ironic that a person in deportation proceedings is suing the law enforcement agency that identified her as a candidate for deportation. Frankly, we do too.
 
Those same folks may also see this lawsuit as an attempt to target Frederick County's participation in the federal 287(g) program, in which the sheriff's office, under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement guidelines and supervision, identifies lawbreaking illegal immigrants and refers them to ICE for potential deportation.
 
O'Brien claims 287(g) is designed to identify serious/violent crimes, but to date about 90 percent of those processed under the program were accused of misdemeanor offenses. Jenkins has interpreted the program to include offenses such as traffic violations. In the end, this lawsuit is a manifestation of the federal government trying to have it both ways.
 
On the one hand it has the 287(g) program to identify illegal immigrants, but on the other hand it said the program should focus only on criminal/dangerous illegal immigrants. What do you do when a person driving drunk or revoked turns out to be an illegal immigrant?
 
Jenkins' approach has been to refer to ICE anyone who, through normal police activity, is identified as an illegal immigrant. That would include scofflaw drivers -- and Santos as well if, as the deputies said, she attempted to elude them.
 
We are incredulous that Santos could be successful in this. Think of it. A woman is approached by police because of suspicious behavior, and while questioning her they discover federal immigration authorities have issued a warrant for her. They take her into custody and refer her to immigration officials. And they did what wrong? Now, while in deportation proceedings, Santos is suing the sheriff and others for a cool million.
 
The outcome of Santos' suit could have national implications; it could even be, as Jenkins says, a "powder keg." One thing is certain - folks in Frederick County won't be the only ones following the progress of Santos' lawsuit through the courts.

It was good to see so many legal American citizens rally for the survival of our nation and our democracy.  It is time we took back our country from a Congress and administration that wants to spend too much money and have the federal government control everything we do as American citizens. It is time to set limits on government and term limits for the US Congress. 

Tens of thousands of conservative "tea party" protesters brought their angry grass-roots movement to the steps of the Capitol on Saturday in a muscular political demonstration against big government spending, budget deficits, taxes and President Obama's sweeping health care plan.

In a patriotic, flag-waving "March on Washington" that conservative leaders said was a newly energized political movement determined to stop the Obama administration's tax-and-spending programs, the protesters stretched for blocks up Pennsylvania Avenue to a massive rally on the West Lawn of the Capitol, chanting, "USA," "Enough, Enough" and "We the people."

This Tea Pary Rally reminds us of the famous Boston Tea Party and the effects that revolt had on our American way of life.

Leaders of the rally said that it drew "tea party" conservatives from every state in the country who had staged hundreds of local tax-day rallies across the country on April 15 to protest the $1.5 trillion deficit, record-breaking spending bills and what they see as the government's increasing encroachment on their freedoms.

One of the rally's speakers, Georgia Rep. Tom Price, chairman of the conservative House Republican Study Committee, said the protest rally was a declaration by "a new generation of patriots to carry that torch of liberty" to "take our country back."  Republican Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina called for a return to "constitutional government" and said "it was time that the president started listening to us."

But most of the speakers were local grass-roots tea party activists like coal miner Greg Harrell, who said that lawmakers who ignored the tea party movement's appeals for smaller, more limited government would be thrown out of office by the voters. "We will find you, and we will fire you," Mr. Harrell warned.

A major focus of the protesters and some of the speakers was the president's $1 trillion health care reform plan. Betsy McCaughey, a former lieutenant governor of New York, who has been a sharp critic of the plan, carried a copy of the 1,000-plus page House health care bill to the podium and said that Mr. Obama's statement that it would not force people to drop their health care plans was "untrue."

"You'll have to change to what the government has, and if you won't change to what the government wants you to join, you will be fined thousands of dollars," Ms. McCaughey said. "No deal. No deal." The crowd chanted back, "No deal."

Many of the protesters said they had not been politically active before but decided to come to the rally because they felt that government spending was out of control and that proposals pending in Congress, like the health plan that is being drawn up by the Democrats, would rob them of their freedom of choice and burden their children with trillions of dollars in debt. 

These protesters are not like the union and Acorn paid (at tax payer expense) protesters who do it for the money.  These brave American citizens want to save the US from socialism and a dominant federal government.  God bless the USA!!!

I know that the White House is asking that we "tattle" and turn in people in opposition to the President's policies. Who sounds "fishy" in the whole government-runs-everything programs?  Who reaaly needs to be turned in---members of Congress for not reading the bills and voting on socialist programs?  The President for pushing his far-left radical agenda?  The media for not reporting the facts and promoting the president?
 
The below letter can be written by many Americans who fear for their Country and the true American way of life.

I am turning myself in. I oppose the radical government control policies supported by President Obama and the left-wing Democrats in Congress.
 
I opposed the stimulus done by President Bush, the stimulus signed by President Obama, the omnibus bill with all its pork projects, the cap and trade bill passed by the House, and the "cash for clunkers" bill.  I oppose closing Guantanamo.  I think President Obama and his wife both promote racism since it helps their political agenda.  I believe that President Obama is not an honest man and I do not trust him to make decisions that are best for America.  I believe that he hides any information that does not make him look good and he lacks experience and leadership qualities.
 
I believe the recession is far from over as companies continue to fire employees because they cannot afford to hire them.  I believe the national debt and deficit will continue to grow as tax collections continue to fall and the numbers of people depending on government bailouts continue to  grow.  I blame the Obama policies supported by the House and Senate for this sad state of affairs in our country.  I don't see anything positive happening as a result of these policies.  I believe the economy would be well on the way to recovery if Obama had not jumped in and promoted uncontrolled spending and the House and Senate supported him.
 
I believe that President Obama puts union leaders ahead of the average American citizen.  I believe he received huge political contributions from the unions and he is paying them back by supporting them. I believe the unions were responsible for the downfall of the auto industry.
 
I question that anyone in DC really understands that the decisions they are making are wrong for growth and are taking this country down the wrong path.  I see no signs of change in DC so I have no hope that things will turn around until we get change. I believe the voters elected President Obama because they actually believed that he would turn the economy around and create jobs and make life better for all Americans.  That hope and change  seems to not be working too well. I pray that we do not give his ideas more time to work.  It could be too late to recover for years and years!
 
And I think that the proposed health care bill that he says he will pass, is one of the worst things that could happen to this counry.  I believe that Americans will have to wait in lines, get on waiting lists for surgeries, be refused medications they need due to high costs,  and that the elderly will not get the care they currently receive but will be made comfortable as they live their final years and days, with pain pills.  As I age I certainly don't want a government counselor working with me to make my final years and months easier.  I think that should be a good doctor and my family and friends. If it costs too much to keep me alive, that should be my decision, not the Obama Administration.
 
I believe that President Obama puts trial lawyers ahead of the average American citizen.  I believe he received huge political contributions from them.  He is against Tort reform.  The huge medical settlements make it necessary for all doctors to carry large amounts of insurance in case they are sued.  I believe that raises our medical costs.  I believe there should be limits placed on medical payouts due to law suits.  Obama is against limits and sides with the trial lawyers. (John Edwards, former presidential candidate, is a very rich trial lawyer and earned huge sums of money based on medical lawsuits.  His NC home is one of the largest private homes in the state.)
 
I believe the government will have access to private information regarding the finances of every American and that the government will be able to tap into the finances of American citizens to pay for health care.  The government will also be able to use this information to tax American citizens.  I believe that the Obama Administration is the "big brother" that we have dreaded all our lives.
 
Today I heard President Obama advising his supporters to get in the faces of those who disagree with him.  I have heard people in the administration saying that the people attending town hall meetings and speaking in opposition to health care, are members of gangs and are dressed too well to be real.  I have heard that these people are being bused in to the meetings by organized groups. I just heard an ad that calls those attending town hall meetings "angry mobs" and " rabid right wing extremists". 
 
When the govenment starts to criticize and make fun of protesters in town hall meetings, belittling them as thugs and gang members who are not acting on their own, that is a scary thing.  And when the president encourages people to get in the faces of protesters, that is scary.  What will be the next suggestion made by the president to control the protesters?  And how far will he go to silence the protesters? 
 
I have not been asked to write this e-mail.  I have not been encouraged to attend any town hall meetings.  No one has offered me money to protest against President Obama and the House and Senate members.  I am acting on my own. I have the ability to think for myself and believe that I can make the decisions best for me.  I plan to continue to speak up and let those around me, as well as Senator Hagan and Representative Kissell, know how I am reacting to what is going on.  I have never before been a political activist but I have never before seen government out of control as it is in 2009.  I will support those who oppose what is happening and I will speak out until our govenment starts behaving in a manner that will benefit our country.  I encourage the American people to speak out and attend town hall meetings and ask questions if they are concerned about their country.  We still have the right to speak out.
 
I am copying this e-mail to a lot of people.  They have to make up their own minds about how far they are willing to go to protect their own healthcare.  They have to decide if they are going to attend a town hall meeting.  I hope this e-mail will encourage them to speak out.  But I am not forcing anyone to agree with me. I am not threatening anyone.  I am angry but I am not a mob.  I consider myself a conservative, not a "rabid right wing extremist".
 
So, White House, I have officially tattled on myself and turned myself in..........How much trouble am I in?  How will you use this information against me? 

Can I save my Country from you--I will try.
