SUPPORT HR 3 - NO TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTIONS

Conservatives,

Our staff has just learned from our contacts on Capitol Hill
that the House will vote next week on a bill that would
prohibit public funding of abortion in all federal programs
and would ensure that no federal funds would be used for
elective abortions.

The bill -- The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,
H.R. 3 -- was introduced by Representatives Chris Smith
(R-New Jersey) and Dan Lipinski (D-Illinois). It would
also codify the Hyde and Helms amendments, which currently
must be renewed every year, and would further protect the
conscience clause for medical professionals and institutions
found in the Hyde-Weldon amendment.

How an Unelected, Unconfirmed Obama Appointee is working to destroy the secret ballot

Craig Becker
By Rick Manning – It is somewhat odd that one of President Ronald Reagan’s most often used quotes “Personnel is policy”, isn’t particularly eloquent although its alliteration and brevity make it memorable. Perhaps the three word phrase is remembered because it is succinct and accurate, even more so today than even 25 years ago. In the past week, America has gotten a double dose reminder of why this axiom is true through dual National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) actions aimed at forcing unionization on the nation’s private sector.

Gasoline Taxes vs. Exxon Profit, Per Gallon
Excerpt: The map above from API shows gasoline taxes by state (combined local, state and federal), which range from a low of 26.4 cents per gallon in Alaska to a high of 66.1 cents per gallon in California, averaging 48.1 cents per gallon across all states. How does that compare to oil company industry profits per gallon? According to this post on Exxon Mobil’s Perspective Blog , “For every gallon of gasoline, diesel or finished products we manufactured and sold in the United States in the last three months of 2010, we earned a little more than 2 cents per gallon. That’s not a typo. Two cents.”

Debt ceiling: More Democrats threaten to vote against raising borrowing limit
Well, then-Democrat Senator Barack Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling, calling it a “failure of leadership.” Apparently these Democrats agree with the ghost of Obama past. ~Bob. Excerpt: A growing number of Democrats are threatening to defy the White House over the national debt, joining Republican calls for deficit cuts as a requirement for consenting to lift the country’s borrowing limit. The tension is the latest illustration of how the tea-party-infused GOP is driving the debate in Washington over federal spending. And it shows how the debt issue is testing the Obama administration’s clout as Democrats, particularly those from politically competitive states, resist White House arguments against setting conditions on legislation to raise the debt ceiling.

JUST WHO IS SILLY?

Dear Fellow Conservative,

Wednesday, during a press conference Barack Obama told Americans he doesn't have time for "silliness" and that and "we've got big problems to solve." But in yet another example of his rhetoric differing from reality, he immediately left the White House and spent the rest of his day filming an interview with Oprah in Chicago and raising an estimated two to three million dollars for his campaign coffers during a series of events in New York City.

I guess the problems he was referring to in his press conference have more to do with his sinking poll numbers and need for extra cash to spend on his reelection, because the silliest solution to our economic crisis is Barack Obama's plan for tax hikes and increased debt.

TRUMP IS RIGHT ON!

Trump in Vegas: "Our Leaders are Stupid"

LAS VEGAS – Real estate developer Donald Trump unleashed a tirade of profanity in a speech at a boisterous Las Vegas casino as he assured a crowd of adoring supporters Thursday night that he is seriously weighing a presidential run and will make a decision soon.

During a 30-minute stump speech focused mostly on foreign affairs, Trump sprinkled in a number of insults directed toward the nation's leaders.

"Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people," he said. "It's just very, very sad."

AMERICA DEFEATED COMMUNISM 22 YEARS AGE; NOW DEMOCRATS WANT O RENEW IT!

Communist Party Predicts Huge May Day Rallies Across America – Left Exploits Immigrants

John Wojcik
Communist Party USA labor journalist John Wojcik is predicting huge labor union/immigrant rallies across America on May 1.
The US left wants to legalize millions of illegal immigrants, because they know that the vast majority will vote Democrat. In these times of high unemployment,  resentment among many unionized and unionized workers and the unemployed against illegal immigrants is high.
Therefore the left is deliberately trying to bring all these groups into an alliance behind Barack Obama and the Democrats and against the G.O.P.
From today’s Peoples World
Hundreds of thousands across the nation marching and rallying this May Day will be fusing two of the great struggles of the day – the fight for workers’ rights and the fight for immigrant rights.
The labor movement, rejecting the notion that immigrants are taking jobs away from the native-born, has jumped with both feet into the fight for immigrant rights.

OBAMA WANTS TO SILENCE CONSERVATIVES AS HE LABELS TRUTH AS "HATE SPEECH"

Fellow Conservative:

Americans are just not buying what Obama is selling; and he's frustrated.

So, what do you do when your message of socialism fails miserably?

Silence the opposition, and force people to hear only YOUR message.

Dictators and socialist regimes do it all the time. Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, the Chinese government - they all have censored, or are currently censoring, the news and information their citizens receive. Look what Hosni Mubarak did during the Egyptian revolution!

Now the Left, aided by a radical FCC, is calling for reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine or supposed 'Net Neutrality.' Believe me, there is nothing 'Neutral' about it! We are closer than ever to having the government assume control of speech in America. Already, they almost control the Internet and airwaves. We cannot allow this to happen.

Please read this urgent message to find out how close we are to losing our precious First Amendment freedoms.
To the Left, CONSERVATIVE SPEECH = HATE SPEECH.

That's why they want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine!


Ever since the birth of conservative talk radio and the Internet ended the liberals' total monopoly over the news, the Left has been simmering with rage - because of the loss of their absolute control over what the Americans are allowed to see and hear, and their inability to do anything about it!

DEMS RESORT TO CALLS OF, 'RACISTS' (again)

Dems' race card: Predictable, hypocritical

Here we go again.
A Republican official, this time a member of the Orange County, Calif., GOP Central Committee, stands accused of – racism!
Her crime?
She forwarded, to a circle of friends, an email depicting an image of a family of chimpanzees, with the superimposed face of President Barack Obama over the baby chimp's face. The caption read, "Now you know why no birth certificate." The national media soon picked up the story with the implicit "GOP-is-bigoted" story line.
Given her position as a central committee member, America's ugly history of demeaning images of blacks and the Democratic Party's unfair but calculated characterization of the Republican Party as racist the official exercised poor taste and bad judgment. She has apologized. But many demand her resignation.
This is a teachable moment.

Debt ceiling: More Democrats threaten to vote against raising borrowing limit

By Peter Wallsten, Thursday, April 28, 6:30 PM

A growing number of Democrats are threatening to defy the White House over the national debt, joining Republican calls for deficit cuts as a requirement for consenting to lift the country’s borrowing limit.
The tension is the latest illustration of how the tea-party-infused GOP is driving the debate in Washington over federal spending. And it shows how the debt issue is testing the Obama administration’s clout as Democrats, particularly those from politically competitive states, resist White House arguments against setting conditions on legislation to raise the debt ceiling.
The push-back has come in recent days from Sens. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a freshman who is running for reelection next year. Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) told constituents during the Easter recess that he would not vote to lift the debt limit without a “real and meaningful commitment to debt reduction.”

OBAMA AND HIS DEMOCRAT MINIONS LIVING IN FANTASYLAND ON OUR TAX DOLLARS!

CONSERVATIVE ACTION ALERTS

AMERICA IS IN AN EMERGENCY
$14 TRILLION ... and counting!
...that is our national debt, and it continues to rise because Obama will not make the necessary budget cuts to save the United States of America from disaster.

Recently, Standard and Poor's warned the United States that there is a 33% chance it would lower the U.S. CREDIT RATING from AAA in the NEXT TWO YEARS ... if Congress fails to cut our nation's debt.

And now, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts THE END of the American economy in just five years.

LOOK AT THE FACTS:
  • The United States is the only country of 17 with a "AAA" rating that has a NEGATIVE outlook
  • Obama's 2012 budget will add $9.47 Trillion to our national debt
  • We borrow 40 cents on every dollar we spend
  • The Federal Reserve is printing $75 Billion each month to fund budget deficits
  • The unemployment rate is hovering around 9%
  • By 2016, China's economy will likely surpass America's
America is headed toward a calamity, and Obama is in the driver's seat!

COLORADO - TOLERANCE GIVEN ALIENS IS SEEN AS WEAKNESS - STOP CODDLING CRIMINALS!

Illegal Immigrants Disregard Laws without Fear

Colorado is among the most tolerant sanctuary states when it comes to illegal immigration.  In recent years, such “forgiving” policy has resulted in a rash of fatal accidents caused by illegal immigrations, who in a less tolerant state would have been successfully deported long before others had to die.

Here is just one of the painful results of sanctuary state and city policies:

In January 2011, Norma Paola Vera-Nolasco, 31, was arrested at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, as she attempted to flee to Mexico.  Her crime? Vera-Nolasko was driving the truck that hit and killed valet, Jose Medina outside a Denver nightclub on January 22.  Twenty-one year-old Jose Medina was helping a woman exit her car when he was hit with such force that he was thrown 50 feet into the street.

Vera-Nolasco was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, criminal impersonation, and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. She was drunk at the time of the accident. In 2008, Vera-Nolasco was arrested in Aurora, CO, for driving without a license, but due to Aurora’s sanctuary policy, she was released without being reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM - PORKER OF THE MONTH!

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has named Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) Porker of the Month for threatening to bring the Senate to a standstill over Congress’s failure to fund a $40,000 earmark for a federal study on deepening the port of Charleston.   On April 11, Sen. Graham threw a fit, telling reporters that he would “tie the Senate in knots” until the port study money was approved.  Unfortunately, the tantrum paid off.  Despite Congress’ ongoing earmark moratorium, on April 15 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pledged on the Senate floor that he would find funding for the study before the end of fiscal year (FY) 2011.  “This project and the study it requires both reek of pork,” declared CAGW President Tom Schatz.  “There is absolutely no reason that taxpayers in places like Omaha or Denver should be forced to finance Charleston’s port.”  For insisting that federal taxpayers deep-six their dollars into a project that should be funded by the state and the private sector, CAGW named Sen. Graham the April 2011 Porker of the Month.  Read more about the Porker of the Month.

NIXON, OBAMA, FRAUD & IMPEACHMENT
ALERT: Obama & Nixon Guilty of Same Offences

Nixon's election committee committed various criminal acts in an attempt to rig the 1972 elections. Yet, those who remember their history will note that it wasnot the crime that forced Richard Millhouse Nixon from the Oval Office; rather it was the cover up – including falsification of documents and Department of Justice interference – that doomed the 37th President of the United States.
Now 37 years later, the American public is faced with far more serious election crimes, far more falsified documents, far more serious and thorough-going attempts to prevent the Department of Justice from upholding the law…and it all leads directly to Barack Hussein Obama.
HERE IS A SMALL LIST OF OBAMA'S CRIMES & COVER UP:

STOP GIVING OUR TAX DOLLARS TO LA RAZA AND ORGANIZATIONS THE SPREAD HATE

DEFUND LARAZA

Tens of millions of Americans filed their taxes last week. But few of them are aware that millions of their tax dollars fund the activities and agenda of a radical, racially-divisive organization that uses those funds against their values.
The National Council of La Raza - literally "The Race" - opposes commonsense immigration enforcement against illegal aliens, or even to secure the borders. They oppose efforts to stop illegal aliens from voting, or receiving driver's licenses, or welfare. Even though more than 75% of Americans disagree with La Raza on those issues, those same taxpayers FUND La Raza's activities - more than $5 million alone in the last year they filed a tax return.
But perhaps the most disturbing activities La Raza engages in is to support racially-divisive charter schools in nearly half the states of our nation. These schools utilize so-called "La Raza Studies", which teach the almost exclusively Hispanic students that American laws and culture are racist, and that the American Southwest was STOLEN from Mexico, and must one day be "reconquered" by Hispanics.
THIS MUST END. Defund La Raza is launching a major advertising and social media effort to expose La Raza to the vast majority of Americans who do not know their own taxes fund this radical group against their own interests and values.

Please help us run our national ad to spread the word about the outrage of TAXPAYER-FUNDED "La Raza" movement poisoning the minds of students

OBAMA SAYS, "SUCK IT UP SENIORS" AS HE LIVES THE LIFE OF A 'THIRD WORLD DICTATOR'

Submitted by: Tony Caputo

Last year Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day.

White House officials have been telling reporters in recent days that the Democrat doesn't intend to hang around the White House quite so much in 2011.  They explain he wants to get out more around the country because, as everyone knows, that midterm election shellacking on Nov. 2 had nothing to do with his health care bill, over-spending or other policies, and everything to do with Obama's not adequately explaining himself to his countrymen and women.

And with only 673 days remaining in Obama's never ending presidential campaign, the incumbent's travel pace will not likely slacken.
And we seniors have to "tighten our belts" because we aren't getting a COLA again this year... and none last year!
