PETITION TO MAKE 'ENGLISH' OUR OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

Grassfire Nation Update
    
Conservatives,
It’s time the United States make English their official language.
That is the sentiment of more than one hundred lawmakers who have added their names as co-sponsors to the “English Language Unity Act of 2011” (H.R. 997), introduced by Rep. Steve King (R-IA). In addition to becoming the official language of the U.S., the legislation would also “establish a uniform English language rule for naturalization.”
“I don’t know what the Republican leaders have on the board that is more popular than official English,” said King to the Hill.

PLEASE ACT NOW - SIGN MICHEAL BEHENNA PETITION

To the thousands of supporters of 1Lt Michael Behenna,

It has been awhile since we sent out an update.  Michael's lawyers have filed the petition to the Court of Appeals of the Armed Forces (CAAF).  The CAAF is the highest court for the military justice system and is similar to the Supreme Court as they do not have to take your appeal.  There were four issues on Michael's case presented to the CAAF and we would expect to hear within 30-60 days whether the CAAF will hear his case.  If the CAAF does not choose to hear any of the issues, then Michael’s appeals are done. So you can see the importance of this appeal.  We desperately need your prayers so that Michael’s conviction will be seen by the CAAF for what it is – an abomination of the military justice system.  The CAAF judges are civilians, so it is our hope that they will look at Michael's case much differently than how the military judges have thus far.
