CONSERVATIVE ACTION ALERTS 05/01/2013

Lawmakers compare DHS ammo reserve with U.S. Army 
Our demands are being heard – more lawmakers are coming to our side and holding the Department of Homeland Security accountable. The House Committee of Oversight and Government Reform last Thursday examined the DHS’ stockpiling of ammunition and revealed some very disturbing information. Opening the meeting, Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz made it a point to specifically clarify that “we [the Committee] are not talking about the Department of Defense [and] we are not talking about the Department of Justice” knowing full well that the figures he would release would stand as a shock to many.

How Serious Are Republicans? 
Shortly after President Obama finally released his proposed budget a couple weeks ago, Representative Greg Walden of Oregon, the chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee, launched a stinging attack on the president not over the president’s call for more taxes and spending or because the president’s budget never balances and adds trillions to the national debt, but because the president actually proposed modestly slower growth in Social Security benefits.

Support drilling, fracking, Keystone … and exports 
The interminable war on drilling, fracking and the Keystone XL pipeline has taken some bizarre turns. Now it’s getting worse, as opponents grow more desperate, and the moon again grows full. Deepwater drilling, 3-dimension and 4-D seismic (the ability to visualize 3-D over many years), deep horizon horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, and other technological marvels have obliterated environmentalist claims that the United States and world are running out of oil and gas – and therefore we need to switch to subsidized, land-hungry, job-killing wind turbines, solar panels and biofuels.
