LATEST NEWS ON 1stLT Michael BEHENNA - WRITE IN SUPPORT, PLEASE!

To the thousands of supporters of 1Lt Michael Behenna,

Great news as the Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces (CAAF) has agreed to hear issues in Michael’s case.  Specifically the CAAF will be reviewing the Brady Violation (prosecutors non-disclosure of favorable evidence) and the Military Judge’s faulty self-defense instruction to the jury. Your many prayers of discernment have been answered and we are so grateful because the CAAF was our last chance to have Michael’s conviction overturned.  It is important to note that the CAAF hears very few cases each year and fortunately Michael’s case will be one of them.

QUESTIONS FOR ROMNEY

Submitted by: Gregg Jackson

1. How can Romney be “pro-life” when 3 years after his supposed “pro-life conversion” he signed $50 abortions into law as part of his socialist healthcare plan that was endorsed by Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and Planned Parenthood?
2. How can Romney be “pro-marriage” when he is unilaterally responsible for the illegal and unconstitutional implementation of same-sex “marriage” in Massachusetts?
3. How can Romney be “pro-family” when he boosted funding for homosexual and transgender “education” starting in kindergarten?
4. How can Romney be “pro-family” when he opposes a ban on homosexual scoutmasters?
5. How can Romney oppose the gay agenda when he promised the homosexual Log Cabin Republicans he would not oppose “gay marriage” in return for their endorsement?

OBAMA HAS GIVEN BILLIONS TO HIS PALS NAMING 'GREEN ENERGY' AS HIS EXCUSE

Solyndra Just The Tip Of The IcebergAmerica's Conservative News  
Solyndra is just the tip of the iceberg. According to a report from left-wing CBS News, the Obama Department of Energy handed over at least 6.5 billion in our hard-earned tax dollars to so-called "clean energy" companies that have already filed for bankruptcy or are in the process of going down the tubes.

HOLDER HAS NO HONOR - REFUSES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OFFICE HE HOLDS

Grassfire Nation Update

We have important information regarding your “Holder Must Go!”
Petition. Please see below, and continue alerting your friends to take action with Grassfire Nation.
    
Conservatives,

On February 2, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about the Department of Justice’s role in the botched “Fast and Furious” gun scandal.

During the last hearing on December 8, Holder refused to take any responsibility, or even publicly apologize to the family of slain U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry.

Instead, he arrogantly accused the House Judiciary Committee of playing “political games” with the issue.

ARIZONA - A REAL CONSERVATIVE - PAUL BABEU FOR U.S. CONGRESS

Fellow Patriot,

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu announced earlier this month that he will seek the Republican nomination for the 4^th Congressional District seat, which includes much of Phoenix, AZ, and its outlying areas. And we’re here to help him win!

Minuteman PAC proudly and unreservedly endorses Sheriff Paul Babeu for Congress based on his strong record of accomplishment cracking down on illegal immigration in his precinct and testifying on the matter before Congress on behalf of all American Patriots demanding a secure southern border.

And let’s not forget, Babeu has also called for Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation over the ‘Fast & Furious’ gun-running scandal that resulted in deaths on both sides of the border and more than a 1000 weapons missing or otherwise known to now be in the hands of Mexican drug cartel leaders.
 

OBAMA CONTINUES TO DENY JOBS TO AMERICA

Dear Friend,
The Keystone XL pipeline is a commonsense project that would create thousands of jobs and improve America’s energy security. Transporting crude oil from Alberta, Canada to refiners in Oklahoma and Texas, the Keystone pipeline is a vital project.
Fearful of offending environmentalist during an election year, President Obama is threatening to scrap the Keystone XL Pipeline. As it stands now, construction of the Keystone Pipeline will begin later this year unless Obama determines that the pipeline is not in our national interest.
Tell the President to put the country ahead of his re-election campaign.

NEWT HAD THEM STANDING AND CHEERING

Dear Patriot,

Newt Gingrich won the debate last night and put the campaign on track for success this Saturday. It wasn’t even close. Please watch this video if you didn't get a chance to watch it. Here’s what others said:

Frank Luntz: “I've never seen it in a debate and I've been doing these debates now for 16 years - a standing ovation in the middle of a debate!”

Dick Morris said, “Newt, Newt, Newt. He was absolutely terrific tonight…he might win on Saturday!”

Blocked Copy?

Some publications, e.g. the WSJ, sometimes give you only a teaser unless you are a subscriber. I only included links to articles where I was able to read the full copy. But if you find one blocked—no, I don’t know why it only does it sometimes—you can cut and paste the title into your browser and usually find a full copy on the Net. ~Bob.

Material Omissions in Regulatory Analyses of the Affordable Care Act

Excerpt: The primary complaint levied against the regulatory agencies responsible for these provisions is that their cost-benefit analysis was incomplete and superficial. …The cursory work that was done in regulatory analysis exhibits an attempt to exaggerate benefits and disguise costs.
