La Raza ACORN, our dollars are funding our demise.

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 7:20 pm

If it isn’t ACORN, it is La Raza (Tax payor funded La Raza) Are we at war here in the United States of America?? Are we kissing the butt of a Latin Trojan Horse??? If the answered to these two simple questions is “Yes”, then why are we setting back and tolerating it??? Answer-because we the American public are supposed to pay for all the wrongs done to the so called minorities; including those wrongs as orchestrated by those within the minority groups themselves. We Americans, being those Americans of many ethnicities who hold allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights; to the nation of the United States of America and not a country of our ancestry. OF COURSE, WE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL PERSUASION ARE TOLD BY THE FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THAT THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN MEDIA HYPE! After reading the following article, go to the link listed below. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=13863 A typical Communist ploy is to enlist or include all of the good points of an organization in order to make it palatable and able to hide the insidious, Communist, Satanic side of the real issue or intent or deployment of the subversive foundation of a given organization. In these days of rhetorical transfer, there is much to be concerned about with respect to the sovereignty of the United States of America and the freedom of our generations to come. For La Raza to embed the charitable organizations/groups within the confines of the real mission of the organization is not unlike the congress embedding none related issues or give away, or take away of freedoms in any newly introduced bill i.e. the government sponsored/mandated health bill or perhaps funding of our military for that matter. Communists are professionals at hiding lies and deceit with in the framework of their chosen organization. Now we can whitewash the term La Raza as meaning multi ethnic, not just Latino. http://www.nclr.org/section/translation/ But, using the translator, La Raza means-”The Race”. (“Oh yes, La Raza could mean just Spanish Speaking people but in our language, the language of “National Council of La Raza” it means the people. But of course, the people, meaning of course multi ethnicity.” My thought-Anglo) NOW, THE REST OF THE STORY: http://www.examiner.com/x-21818-Virginia-Beach-Conservative-Examiner~y2009m10d13-American-taxpayers-being-forced-to-support-Latino-separatist-group American taxpayers being forced to support Latino separatist group October 13, 2009 In 2006 and again in 2008, the Latino group known as La Raza (The Race) was given $15 million in U.S. federal grants. La Raza also received an additional $4 million in so-called ‘earmarks’ tucked into the 2005 Housing Bill, which our Congress passed and President Bush signed. Considering the ethnocentric agenda of La Raza, in giving federal funds to this group, the American taxpayer is being forced to support a race-based separatist organization. La Raza openly supports pushing all but Latino Americans out of a portion of the United States (i.e. ethnic cleansing), they call for ‘Reconquista’ or the re-conquest of the American Southwest by Mexico, and the establishment of ‘Atzlan’ which is the utopian all-Latino version of the American Southwestern states. La Raza’s motto is “For the Race, everything, outside the Race…Nothing!” Past keynote speakers at the annual National Council of La Raza Conference have included George Bush, Karl Rove, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Bill Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama. The fact that U.S. Senators and Presidents have addressed the group, is a strong indication that this nation is being subverted at the very highest levels. If La Raza was a white supremacist group with equally deep pockets, the U.S. government would place them on a terrorist watch list, infiltrate them with undercover FBI agents, and subject them to constant harassment by the IRS. Eventually, the group’s leaders would be jailed and the group itself would be rendered irrelevant. However, because La Raza is a Latino supremacist group, Congress offers them financial support. One of La Raza’s biggest supporters is Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV). In 2001, Reid asked the Senate Appropriations Committee for $5 million to help further their goals. That same year, La Raza gave Sen. Reid their Capital Award for “his commitment to advance legislation priorities of the Latino community.” Reid in turn praised La Raza by saying: “La Raza is like the biblical David, fighting all these Goliaths.” Taxpayer funds are also funneled to La Raza through the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and even NASA. Tax dollars are hidden in these government agencies, earmarked to be specifically given away to La Raza. Inside the halls of Congress, the practice is known as discretionary funding…In the real world it is known as money laundering. In 2008, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) earmarked an additional $20 million for La Raza. He hid the appropriation in the FHA Housing Stabilization and Homeowners Retentions Act of 2008. In 2005, $7.9 million was stolen from the American taxpayers and given out to Latino-only charter schools in the form of U.S. Department of Education grants. La Raza operates 100 such schools across the country. The following is a list of a few of those schools: -La Academia Semillas del Pueblo (Los Angeles) -Aztlan Academy (Tucson, AZ) -Mexicayotl Academy (Nogales, AZ) -The Dolores Huerta Prepatory High School (Pueblo, CO) -Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School (St. Paul, MN) These schools teach Latino culture only, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, ethnic cleansing and the establishment of the mythical Aztlan, and even Aztec math…Again, all taught on your dime! According to the Capital Research Center, La Raza has assets well in excess of $50 million. This same group reports that La Raza spends about $1 million annually on lobbying and fundraising. Can you imagine the Congress appropriating money to the Ku Klux Klan? While those scenarios both sound absurd, the support that our elected officials are giving to the racist group known as La Raza is no different. One has to wonder, if the KKK offered extremely cheap labor to unscrupulous American businesses and potential votes to equally unscrupulous politicians…Would Congress fund whites-only charter schools? — Illegal Immigration is broken only legal immigration works Save a American job Deport a Illegal alien Americans First in American Sharmaine Lopez www.dontspeakforme.org http://www.fairus.org/. www.numbersusa.com www.grassfire.org protectourbordernow@yahoogroups.com http://dontspeakforme.org/principles.html http://www.mothersagainstillegalaliens.org/ A.F.I.A.

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano thinks we are stupid

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 8:55 pm

If you’re an anti-abortion activist, or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party candidate or a certain Republican member of Congress, if you possess subversive literature, you very well might be a member of a domestic paramilitary group. That’s according to “The Modern Militia Movement,” a report by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), a government collective that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities. “Due to the current economical and political situation, a lush environment for militia activity has been created,” the Feb. 20 report reads. “Unemployment rates are high, as well as costs of living expenses. Additionally, President Elect Barrack [sic] Obama is seen as tight on gun control and many extremists fear that he will enact firearms confiscations.” MIAC is one of 58 so-called “fusion centers” nationwide that were created by the Department of Homeland Security, in part, to collect local intelligence that authorities can use to combat terrorism and related criminal activities. More than $254 million from fiscal years 2004-2007 went to state and local governments to support the fusion centers, according to the DHS Web site. During a press conference last week in Kansas City, Mo., DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano called fusion centers the “centerpiece of state, local, federal intelligence-sharing” in the future. “Let us not forget the reason we are here, the reason we have the Department of Homeland Security and the reason we now have fusion centers, which is a relatively new concept, is because we did not have the capacity as a country to connect the dots on isolated bits of intelligence prior to 9/11,” Yes we did we just did not use them” Napolitano said, according to a DHS transcript. “That’s why we started this…. Now we know that it’s not just the 9/11-type incidents but many, many other types of incidents that we can benefit from having fusion centers that share information and product and analysis upwards and horizontally.” But some say the fusion centers are going too far in whom they identify as potential threats to American security. People who supported former third-party presidential candidates like Texas Rep. Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr are cited in the report, in addition to anti-abortion activists and conspiracy theorists who believe the United States, Mexico and Canada will someday form a North American Union. “Militia members most commonly associate with 3rd party political groups,” the report reads. “It is not uncommon for militia members to display Constitutional Party, Campaign for Liberty or Libertarian material.” Other potential signals of militia involvement, according to the report, are possession of the Gagsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag or the widely available anti-income tax film “America: Freedom to Fascism.” Barr, the 2008 Libertarian Party presidential nominee, told FOXNews.com that he’s taking steps to get his name removed from the report, which he said could actually “dilute the effectiveness” of law enforcement agencies. “It can subject people to unwarranted and inappropriate monitoring by the government,” he said. “If I were the governor of Missouri, I’d be concerned that law enforcement agencies are wasting their time and effort on such nonsense.” Barr said his office has received “several dozen” complaints related to the report. Mary Starrett, communications director for the Constitution Party, said Baldwin, the party’s 2008 presidential candidate, was “outraged” that his name was included in the report. “We were so astounded by it we couldn’t believe it was real,” Starrett told FOXNews.com. “It’s painting such a large number of people with a broad brush in a dangerous light.” Michael German, national security policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said the report “crosses the line” and shows a disregard for civil liberties. “It seems to implicate people who are engaging in First Amendment protected activities and suggest that something as innocuous as supporting a political candidate for office would mean that you’re harboring some ill-intent,” German told FOXNews.com. “It’s completely inappropriate.” German, who claims the number of fusion centers nationwide is closer to 70, said the centers present several troubling concerns, including their excessive secrecy, ambiguous lines of authority, the use of data mining and military participation. “No two are alike,” German said. “And these things are expanding rapidly.” But MIAC officials defended their report, saying it’s not a basis for officers to take enforcement action. “These reports sometimes mention groups or individuals who are not the subject of the document, but may be relevant to describing tendencies or trends concerning the subject of the document,” MIAC said in a statement. “For example, a criminal group may use a particular wire service to transfer funds, but the mention of that wire service does not imply that it is part of that group, or a criminal enterprise. Nor does it imply that all individuals who use that service are engaged in criminal activity.” The statement continues, “We are concerned about the mischaracterizations of a document following its recent unauthorized release and we regret that any citizens were unintentionally offended by the content of the document.” Donny Ferguson, a spokesman for the Libertarian Party, said he was concerned by the report’s “poor choice of words,” among other things. “Unfortunately it is so broadly worded it could be interpreted as saying millions of peaceful, law-abiding Americans are involved in dangerous activities. These mistakes happen and we hope Missouri officials will correct the report,” Ferguson wrote in an e-mail. “The Libertarian Party promotes the common-sense policies of fiscal responsibility and social tolerance. We are the only party in America who makes opposition to initiating violence a condition of membership.” Bob McCarty, a St. Louis resident who blogged about the MIAC report, said he’s afraid he may be targeted, since he’s previously sold Ron Paul-related merchandise. “[The report] described me, so maybe I need to get a gun and build a shack out in the woods,” McCarty said facetiously. “It’s certainly an attempt to stifle political thought, especially in Missouri. It definitely makes me pause, if nothing else. Maybe Missouri is just a test bed for squelching political thought.” ACLU officials blasted a Texas fusion center last month for distributing a “Prevention Awareness Bulletin” that called on law enforcement officers to report activities of local lobbying groups, Muslim civil rights organizations and anti-war protest groups.

And then there is this , just in   “Get your freeloader obama cell phone”
How do I get out of my 2 year contract with Verizon?  The phone is nicer than the one I have.  This is insane!!

 FYI……… Damn……what’s happening to our country!
 
Subject: Free phone–no kidding!
 
Bet you won’t hear this on the evening news…
 
 
 
THIS IS ABSURD!!!
 
 
 
 
I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job,
and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I
asked the former employee if this was a new type of cell number and he
told me yes this was his “Obama phone.”
 
I asked him what an “Obama phone” was and he went on to say that
welfare recipients are now eligible to receive
(1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every
month.
 
I was a little skeptical because it sounded absurd! So I Googled it
and low and behold he was telling the truth.
 
TAXPAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE
CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year.

Do we have enough time?

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 9:42 pm
www.thearizonasentinel.com
 
 
The future is rapidly becoming the present. Time is not on our side. I keep repeating this but its crucial. Obama said ” In 5 days we are going to fundamentally transform America”. he was not kidding folks.
 
Every day, the government, obama and his marxist regime are putting forth programs, agendas and events that are aimed at one target and one target only.
That is :
To completely destroy individual freedom, capitalism, our Republic, and throwing the Constitution out the window. He single handedly has set racism back 60 years.. He is pitting blacks, against whites, whites against hispanics even more so that bush did. He is creating a culture of racial division that we thought was history. One thing is certain, if we make it to another presidential election. There will never be another black president. He has seen to that. The left and even the religious left are running from him because they now see obama’s true agenda. All these social liberal groups that have been siphoning money off of larger corporations see their revenue streams getting shut down.
Just this past week, obama had a tent constructed on the White House lawn, for one purpose. To bribe the hispanic vote. He brought in, on our dime, mexican entertainers, musicians under the umbrella of diversity. I watched it but didn’t understand one word or note of it.  The plan is to shove amnesty for 40 million illegal aliens down our throats. Do the math folks they been talking about 12 million for over a decade. 1500 to 5000 per day are crossing our borders somewhere illegally. You want to know where the Swine Flu came from , look no further than your southern border.
 
America, and yes Arizona, will never see a debt free nation or state, until we stop immigration. Its no longer enough to say “stop illegal immigration, we must stop all of it.” We need a 10 year moratorium on immigration period.
We have an election coming next year , it will be here before you know it,.. We must stop electing, smooth talkers, $400.00 suits, lawyers, ” I will make one exception, with ” Brad Beauchamp” from Globe Arizona, we need to send him to Washington,. I don’t think he can be bought by the leadership on either side of the isle. 
We must elect, people with business experience. We need to stay clear of anyone that has ever been a member of a union. Especially the teachers union. All we ever hear from them is we need to spend more money on education,. Well that dog just don’t hunt anymore.
We need folks with common sense,. A little rough around the edges. Constitutional Libertarians. I can tell you from first hand experience the Independents are fed up with the Democrats and Republicans.
I think we can all agree that our enemy is inside the beltway.  Short of going to war and getting a lot of folks hurt or worse. We must have a plan. I have one and will be pushing it again once I’m back on the campaign trail.  Is Arizona ready for a Conservative Libertarian?
 
The question is though, do we have enough time?

Your Bank>ACORN>The Federal Government

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 11:02 pm

This morning we received confirmation, regarding the relationship between these nationally chartered banks-ACORN-and the Federal Government. This relationship has been going on since Carter signed the Community Reinvestment ACT into law in 1977. And was accelerated when the banks crossed state lines establishing branch banks all over the country,. Like Bank of America, Chase , and others.   The federal government said to banks , you will finance homes for high risk borrowers or we will close you down. However if you contribute to ACORN. We will look the other way. This is your federal government, directly involved in criminal extortion.

sign this petition : http://www.thepetitionsite.com/21/investigate-acorn-crimes

We are all throwing rocks at obama, and for good cause, but the problem goes way back to Jimmy Carter. And in the meantime , the weasels that we have sent to Washington have all been complicit in this enterprise for 4 decades. Republicans, Democrats, and a couple of self declared socialist have all been involved in this shake down of banks and bankers,.. , Now we know precisely why these bankers made all of these sub prime loans, that were turned into derivatives, then sold all over the world as having some value when in fact they were worthless. They were told you either make the loans, contribute to ACORN or we will shut you down. What really ticks me off is that these banks were being shook down, not unlike the schemes, that Jesse Jackson used to shake down Corporations.

Hannity, Rush, and Beck, even Savage have all been hammering obama, for his plans to redistribute American wealth. No question that is what he is doing. But wake up folks, he is only doing what you and the rest of America have allowed government city,county,state and federal to do for almost a century. Redistribute your wealth. Where were all these Republicans when Iowa’s Senator Grassley was giving all those subsidies to Corporate Farms, wasn’t he spreading the wealth around, what was the results of that? The family farm, could not compete and went away,. Now we have 10’s of thousands of steers, in feed lots, sucking up antibiotics. You want to know why your sick, go visit a commercial hog, or beef feed lot. How many of you know someone that is raising chickens on the farm,..

We all have seen the list of taxes we pay , but let me bring it home for you. Lets just look at your Property taxes. Have you looked at the itemized list on your property tax bill. If you haven’t you should , and if that bill isn’t redistribution of wealth, then I’m an idiot. In our county , some are all gaga over the building of a brand new Country Health Building. I guarantee you that , the funds for that building came from some federal grant or another, given as the result of a bunch of county supervisors going to Washington and getting brainwashed into accepting money from my grand kids and yours,. So they can build a monument to themselves and put their pictures on the wall in the hall. Here is the question. Where will the health directives for the citizens of this county come from . The Federal Government. And when its all said and done it will be the taxpayers that will be funding a building that 99.9 percent of county residents will never see the inside of.  Watch your property taxes go up.

We are governed by stupid people. Pelosi for example, a trust fund baby. She’s never worked a day in her sorry life. People with their hand out. People that have never owned or operated a business. People that because they could not get a real job, ran for some high paying office to suck off the taxpayers. Never looking down the road. Never asking the big question. What will the long term affects of accepting bribes from Washington have on my community?

We can all sit here and bad mouth obama. Obama is just a piss ant in the over all scheme of things that are planned for us. Someone else is pulling the strings , driving the plan,. Its not obama, he’s just the poor SOB out in front. He was perfect for the job, he hates himself, his past, his present, his mom, his dad, his homeland, his brother,. He has no American roots, Why should he give a dam about America,. It means nothing to him, he was born in Kenya. Besides he’s been on vacation or riding around in my 747 .  Has anyone noticed how since obama, took the oath on the Koran, how no one is interested in the open border issue ,. When’s the last time Fox , Hannity, Beck, Dobbs, even mentioned it,.. The only talking head that I have heard mention it in recent months is Michael Savage. By the way , if I get elected, I have the perfect plan for illegals. It will make Joe , Nappy , the ACLU and LaRAZA all will be happy.

The bottom line, obama is only doing what , Americans have accepted for decades. The Federal government is corrupt. It wont matter who you send out there in 2010 or 2012. There are only a hand full of members of the house or senate that are not corrupt. The socialist of the Democrat and Republican party will undermine any and all Conservative candidates that attempt to run in 2010. There  is only one solution to the problems caused by the Federal Government. Those solutions lie with in the States. The States must step up and take the steps necessary to declare their sovereignty.  And some have got the message and are taking steps to make the moves necessary to save their states.

In the mean time they must stop accepting foreign loans in the form of U.S. Dollars. They must get their fiscal house in order, balance their budgets, shrink the size and scope of state government. And end the social taxpayer giveaways of the past. Terminate legacy costs going forward driven by unions, and past legislatures.

America you are broke. Arizona you are Broke. Arizona you have a 12 billion dollar budget with 7 billion dollar revenue. You need a 5 billion dollar budget with a 6 billion dollars of revenue. Cuts including tax cuts is the only way you will save this state from a Chinese foreclosure.

The FDIC is broke also. Stay alert America, we are down to the short rows.

Here is your reward America: www.usdebtclock.org  if you dont think its time for dramatic action, you must be living in California.

Will Obama’s Lawyers eventually fess up! The guys an illegal.

——————————————————————————– ——————————————————————————– BORN IN THE USA? Plaintiff: Courts must hear eligibility arguments Cites Marshall opinion that to refuse is treason ——————————————————————————– Posted: October 12, 2009 10:20 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily A plaintiff in one of the cases challenging Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president says federal courts must hear the challenges, because to do otherwise would be treason. The claim comes from Charles F. Kerchner Jr., a lead plaintiff in the Kerchner vs. Obama & Congress lawsuit handled by attorney Mario Apuzzo. Apuzzo filed suit in January on behalf of Kerchner, Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. Named as defendants are Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The case focuses on the alleged failure of Congress to follow the Constitution. That document, the lawsuit states, “provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate ‘elected’ by the Electoral College Electors.” The Constitution provides, the lawsuit says, “If the president-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have qualified.” “There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and other concerned Americans regarding Obama’s eligibility to be president and defendants had the sworn duty to protect and preserve the Constitution and specifically under the 20th Amendment, Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to confirm whether Obama, once the electors elected him, was qualified,” the case explained. See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD that probes this unprecedented presidential eligibility mystery! “Congress is the elected representative of the American people and the people speak and act through them,” the lawsuit said. The defendants “violated” the 20th Amendment by failing to assure that Obama meets the eligibility requirements, the lawsuit said. Now on the attorney’s blog, Kerchner has written, “The federal courts and judges are committing treason to the Constitution by not taking jurisdiction and getting to the merits in the various cases before them regarding the Article II eligibility clause question for Obama.” He said his basis for such a statement is the opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, who wrote in an 1821 case, Cohens vs. Virginia: “It is most true that this court will not take jurisdiction if it should not: but it is equally true, that it must take jurisdiction if it should. The judiciary cannot, as the legislature may, avoid a measure because it approaches the confines of the constitution. We cannot pass it by because it is doubtful. With whatever doubts, with whatever difficulties, a case may be attended, we must decide it, if it be brought before us. We have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the constitution. Questions may occur which we would gladly avoid; but we cannot avoid them. All we can do is, to exercise our best judgment, and conscientiously to perform our duty. In doing this, on the present occasion, we find this tribunal invested with appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the constitution and laws of the United States. We find no exception to this grant, and we cannot insert one.” Kerchner added, “The … judges in the … cases should simply read the words of U.S. Supreme court Chief Justice Marshall from the past and take jurisdiction of the constitutional question of the Article II eligibility clause in the Constitution and proceed to a fact finding hearing and trial on the merits. “I say Obama is NOT eligible. But we need the federal courts to take the cases and get a SCOTUS ruling to settle this,” he said. WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama’s status as a “natural born citizen.” The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.” Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama’s American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time. Other challenges have focused on Obama’s citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born. Further, others question his citizenship by virtue of his attendance in Indonesian schools during his childhood and question on what passport did he travel to Pakistan three decades ago. Adding fuel to the fire is Obama’s persistent refusal to release documents that could provide answers and the appointment of myriad lawyers to defend against all requests for his documentation. While his supporters cite an online version of a “Certification of Live Birth” from Hawaii as his birth verification, critics point out such documents actually were issued for children not born in the state. The ultimate questions remain unaddressed to date: Is Obama a natural born citizen, and, if so, why hasn’t documentation been provided? And, of course, if he is not, what does it mean to the 2008 election or the U.S. Constitution if it is revealed that there has been a violation? WND has reported on another case, being heard by U.S. District Judge David Carter in California. He released a ruling a week ago noting the government’s motion to dismiss was being taken “under submission.” But he also approved a final calendar for the case to be proceeding in his court. Under the schedule ordered by the judge the final pretrial conference is scheduled Jan. 11, 2010, while the jury trial is Jan. 26, 2010. WND also has reported that among the documentation not yet available for Obama includes his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records. Because of the dearth of information about Obama’s eligibility, WND founder Joseph Farah has launched a campaign to raise contributions to post billboards asking a simple question: “Where’s the birth certificate?” “Where’s The Birth Certificate?” billboard at the Mandalay Bay resort on the Las Vegas Strip The campaign followed a petition that has collected more than 475,000 signatures demanding proof of his eligibility, the availability of yard signs raising the question and the production of permanent, detachable magnetic bumper stickers asking the question. The “certification of live birth” posted online and widely touted as “Obama’s birth certificate” does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same “short-form” document is easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii. The true “long-form” birth certificate – which includes information such as the name of the birth hospital and attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release for public or press scrutiny. Oddly, though congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a “natural born citizen,” no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama’s claim to a Hawaiian birth. Smells funny doesnt it.

States must step up to Save our Country

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 12:20 am
 
Required Action by the States to save America.  Time is not on our side !!
 
Well folks , it is happening, exactly as the founders feared would happen over 200 years ago. Americans have elected a majority of public officials, that have as their agenda. The destruction of the United States of America.
 
We have elected Presidents, that have been nothing more than puppets for groups hell bent on unwinding 200 plus years of the greatest country on the planet.
 
We all know the problems. Washington DC and indeed many state Governments starting at the Top Job on down . Have worked their way into the political power structures.  They have created systems, laws, bureaucracies, agencies, and regulations, at the county, state and federal level, that fly in the face of a Republic. They have created this trillions of dollars of debt, let them pay it off, tell China to call bush,carter,clinton,bush,paulson,geitner,and bernanke.  Because we have had enough.
 
We all  know that the Constitution is being unraveled everyday, by this administration. And let us not forget the position the bush administration held towards the Constitution.
 
We all know that the Radicals have taken over. They are creating and producing radical policies and agendas that are destroying America.
 
So what is the solution?  In my mind short of going to war. We have but one alternative. And that is this.
 
We create four to five groups of states.  See the map below.
 
Each of those Regional Groups will have a quizi government body. The Governors of those states will elect a Chairman to head the Region of States each year.
Now before I go any further. I know there will be folks on both sides of the aisle, and down the middle that will buck up against this. Both in and out of politics. Here is what I say to you:  You have had your shot and  you either screwed it up , or sat back and did nothing. To put it bluntly:
Either lead, follow, or get out of the way.
 
The idea is to have legislation drafted , and introduced into each states legislature, on the same day, with the same title, and the same language that says in a nut shell the following.
 
” We the Sovereign States of Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, effective January 1, 2012. Do hereby divest our lands, our citizens, our treasure of any relationship with any agency, department, political leader, legal or illegally elected , or with any body of previously recognized government such as would be located inside the District of Columbia.”
We the afore mentioned Sovereign States effective Jan 1 2012 , do hereby exercise our 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Or short of that, either in or out of the realm of the Constitution.  Whereby we sever all , political, and civil ties with what was previously referred to as the Federal Government of the United States of America. If the federal government can function outside of the Constitution,. So can the States. Until the deed is finished.
( The lawyers can work out the proper language)
 
Each state will bring to the table their respective Constitution, which the will be required to retake their oath of office. The Constitution of the United States will be placed on top of the State Constitutions . And each Governor of the member states will be required to take the following oath of office with their right hand on the Judeo Christian Bible.
 
” I solemnly swear that I will serve and defend the Constitution of the United States, Against all enemies foreign and domestic, so help me God”
 
 The founders of this great Christian nation knew that at some point in time in the future. That it would be necessary to bring to an end the political power structure otherwise  known as the Federal Government of the United States. It has failed in every imaginable way. And they are working everyday to destroy the dollar. Will we need a new currency, probably. But when we design it , you will not be able to fold it in such a way as to see two towers burning. Or other nefarious symbols. Each state could create its own Fort Knox, hold gold and silver and back a new U.S. Currency or maybe a Currency defined by the individual Zone, but is tender across regional states line.  We shall have “In God We Trust” on all currency, if the muslims and the athiest dont like it they can go back to where ever they came from.
 
Note:  We have developed this plan to bring the power back to the States and to the people.  ,  “  Mountain States of the West”
Otherwise known as Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,Alaska.
 
It is time for strong , deliberate action,. We can no longer sit back and allow corrupt politicians, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers, the Federal Reserve, to manipulate and destroy our country. Bush and Obama have created this 20 trillion dollars of debt,. Tell the Chinese to get it from them. it’s a new day, and a new deal.  B\O Bush\Obama
 
 
Like Tom Tancredo said:  “This is our culture, we need fight for it.  This is our flag , we need to pick it up. This is your country , we need to take it back.”

America its time to step up,

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 11:33 pm
Recently Fox reported that tax revenues are down to 1913 levels. For months I have been advocating that Americans need to stop spending. Stop Traveling. Stop spending on anything that generates revenue for the federal government,.. And its working, We can bankrupt the Fed and the Treasury. Yes, they can keep printing money, but the more they print the worse they make matters worse for the Federal Government,
 
Another result of this non spending, will be the reluctance of China to buy more of our so called Government Backed Securities, why, because they are worthless.  There are 55 million Americans over the age of 50.  We are a sector of the economy that they must take seriously.  Obama , plans to lower the life expectancy of all Americans by reducing the health care of Americans that built this country. By refusing care. In other words, government assisted euthanasia.  Bottom line, Government created these programs,pensions,benifits,union BS, and, 20-25 year work retirement plans, that have and are bankrupting the country. 
How do we get these costs off the back of the taxpayer, Simple, kill them, force all Americans to purchase private insurance? Created laws that prevent an insurance company from refusing care for preexistence illnesses, And raise the deductibles for catastrophic conditions, And finally, reduce the numbers of government employees federal state and county by 60%, Terminate the Teachers Union, and force teachers to work until they are 62-62 like the rest of us. Cops and Firefighters must work until they are 62-65, All Government workers, should be responsible for their own retirements, not subsidized by the taxpayers, The Department of Education should be terminated, And education issues returned to the states where they belong.
We have people living off of pensions, for more years than they worked. Obama sees the problem, his solution though is dead wrong. Stop growing the size of government.
Government workers should be required to provide for retirement the same way we in the private sector do. They should be taught how to invest in America, A major way to do this would be the elimination of Capital Gains for folks over the age of 55.
 
Due to the discovery of obama’s birth certificate, chances are obama will be gone by the end of the year, Question is it a felony to represent your self as a citizen, win an election by withholding facts relevant to the office your running for, Just asking.  That said, its time to start making these changes to govenment policies going forward. The power of Unions has got to be squelched. The only way we will get this done will be by electing, Conservative Libertarians at every level of government.  its time folks, lets not miss this envelop in time to fix our country.  If we are still a voting nation in 2010 , we must vote out every incumbent regardless of party in Washington DC.. No Exceptions.
 
Today, we learned the foreign central banks are rasing interest rates.  How will Benanke react,. Word is he has two maybe three choices,.. Since he,paulson,Geitner,bush and obama have, shoved the American dollar into a tank,.. The question is will Bernanke raise interest rates,.. Well, I have been screaming since 1993 that Greenspan and now Bernanke are killing the dollar with these low interest rates,.. Now that they have put us in a box , if they raise rates,  we wind up paying more money on the interest on our debt with china and russia.  And the other red herring here is that banks need to be replacing cash that they lost due to these foreclosures that the government caused to happen.  So what do we , you, do.
 
Buy foreign currency.  The U.S. Dollar is rapidly becoming like a junk bond.
 
If Obama is not removed and soon,. We will see civil unrest in this county , that will make Temmimin Square look like a cake walk.
 
America you have been had,.. I dont care if you are a multi millionair or living on 8 thousand per year.  You are in deep dodo.
 
Its too late now but if you ever see another Ross Perot, you had better listen.

States Must step up the Window of time is closing rapidly

Filed under: My Posts — thearizonasentinel @ 10:51 pm

States Must step up the window of time is closing rapidly: 

Well folks , it is happening, exactly as the founders feared would happen over 200 years ago. Americans have elected a majority of public officials, that have as their agenda. The destruction of the United States of America.

 

We have elected Presidents, that have been nothing more than puppets for groups hell bent on unwinding 200 plus years of the greatest country on the planet.

 

We all know the problems. Washington DC and indeed many state Governments starting at the Top Job on down . Have worked their way into the political power structures.  They have created systems, laws, bureaucracies, agencies, and regulations, at the county, state and federal level, that fly in the face of a Republic.

 

We all  know that the Constitution is being unraveled everyday, by this administration. And let us not forget the position the bush administration held towards the Constitution.

 

We all know that the Radicals have taken over. They are creating and producing radical policies and agendas that will no doubt destroy America.

 

So what is the solution?  In my mind short of going to war. We have but one alternative. And that is this.

 

We create four to five groups of states.  I have a link posted to a page that shows a suggested grouping.

 

Each of those Regional Groups will have a quizi government body. The Governors of those states will elect a Chairman to head the Region of States each year.
Now before I go any further. I know there will be folks on both sides of the isle, and down the middle that will buck up against this. Both in and out of politics. Here is what I say to you:  You have had your shot and  you either screwed it up , or sat back and did nothing. To put it bluntly:
Either lead, follow, or get out of the way.

 

The idea is to have legislation drafted , and introduced into each states legislature, on the same day, with the same title, and the same language that says in a nut shell the following.
 
” We the Sovereign States of Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, effective January 1, 2012. Do hereby divest our lands, our citizens, our treasure of any relationship with any agency, department, political leader, legal or illegally elected , or with any body of previously recognized government such as would be located inside the District of Columbia.”
We the afore mentioned Sovereign States effective Jan 1 2012 , do hereby exercise our 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Whereby we sever all , political, and civil ties with what was previously referred to as the Federal Government of the United States of America.
( The lawyers can work out the proper language)

 

Each state will bring to the table their respective Constitution, which the will be required to retake their oath of office. The Constitution of the United States will be placed on top of the State Constitutions . And each Governor of the member states will be required to take the following oath of office with their right hand on the Judeo Christian Bible.

 

” I solemnly swear that I will serve and defend the Constitution of the United States, Against all enemies foreign and domestic, so help me God”

 
 The founders of this great Christian nation knew that at some point in time in the future. That it would be necessary to bring to an end the political power structure otherwise  known as the Federal Government of the United States. It has failed in every imaginable way.

 

Note:  We have already developed a plan to see to it that this legislation be drafted and introduced in the , what we will call for the immediate future
” The Sovereign Mountain States of the West”
Otherwise known as Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Alaska.

 

It is time for strong , deliberate action,. We can no longer sit back and allow corrupt politicians, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers, the Federal Reserve, to manipulate and destroy our country. Bush and Obama have created this 20 trillion dollars of debt,. Tell the Chinese to get it from them. it’s a new day, and a new deal.  B\O Bush\Obama. In 2010 all incumbents must go , regardless of party.  We may not have that long is the problem.
 

 

Like Tom Tancredo said:  “This is our culture, we need fight for it.  This is our flag , we need to pick it up. This is your country , we need to take it back.”

 

Will it be a lot of work, Like Sarah says,

Obama eligibility case survives 1st court test

Judge hears arguments, refuses immediate dismissal demand

A federal judge in California today listened to government lawyers argue that a lawsuit over President Obama’s eligibility should be immediately dismissed but refused to grant their request, saying he would make his decision and announce it later.

The result came this morning from U.S. District Judge David Carter, who already has set a tentative trial date for the dispute Jan. 26, 2010.  The judge also already had lawyers draw up a tentative schedule for hearings and deadlines in preparation for the trial.

WND previously reported on plans for the hearing handled by attorneys Orly Taitz and Gary Kreep, each representing separate clients.

The lawsuit was brought by several political candidates and party officials, including former U.S. ambassador Alan Keyes and Wiley Drake and Markham Robinson of the American Independent Party.

  

They are suing Obama alleging he is not eligible to be president under the U.S. Constitution’s requirement for a “natural born” citizen in the Oval Office. Forty-six of the plaintiffs are represented by Taitz, who has worked on a multitude of lawsuits over Obama’s eligibility, and two – Drake and Robinson – are represented by Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation.

See the movie Obama does not want you to see: Own the DVD that probes this unprecedented presidential eligibility mystery!

 

Kreep told WND after the hearing it appeared to him the judge was expecting answers and failed to get them from government attorneys during the hearing.

“He was asking the [Department of Justice] to explain impeachment. If he really was [legitimately president], how would that work.”

Kreep said he argued impeachment wasn’t relevant, since “you have to have a valid, elected president.” He said a court hearing with full disclosure of evidence is required, since the impeachment provision wouldn’t technically apply to someone who never was qualified to be president.

Taitz was contacted by WND but declined to comment on today’s hearing.

But Kreep said he argued that a simple numbers formula also doesn’t apply. Many of the government arguments have noted the candidates who are plaintiffs, such as Keyes, did not have a reasonable mathematical probability of winning the presidential election.

That assertion is not relevant, Kreep said he argued. Had Obama’s ineligibility been publicized before the election, Hillary Clinton likely would have become the nominee, and she might have been vulnerable to other candidates, he said.

Carter’s order that no discovery of evidence will be allowed until his decision was continued today.

Lawyers representing Obama in the case claim “no single federal district court has the power to declare that a sitting president is not fit or qualified to occupy the office, and is, therefore, not a legitimate president.”

The attorneys have argued the election process and Constitution allow only Congress to examine the credentials of a presidential candidate, and in any event, that opportunity is long gone.

They have argued, “Plaintiffs simply are not the proper parties to challenge President Obama’s qualifications or fitness for office and this court is not the proper forum to decide this issue.”

The plaintiffs, however, have argued on behalf of their “real, tangible injuries” from Obama’s placement in the White House. If he is not eligible, “they have been denied a free and fair election.”

They have suggested the simplest resolution is to put Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other government officials under oath and question them about Obama’s birth and birth records.

They also have indicated plans to ask, if given permission by the court, for copies of Hawaiian records regarding Obama’s birth, Washington state records regarding him and his mother, his Harvard Law School records, passport records and a long list of other documents.

According to Sept. 25 court documents the DOJ filed in response to Kreep’s opposition to dismissal, the DOJ states, “The arguments made by these plaintiffs, in large measure, completely ignore the fact that Barack Obama is the president of the United States and seek to treat him as simply a candidate for office. Try as they might, plaintiffs cannot conceal the fact that what they are really seeking in this case is nothing less than a determination by this United States District Court that President Obama should be removed from office. The preposterous nature of this assertion is readily apparent. No single United States District Court has the power to try the question of whether a sitting president of the United States should be allowed to remain in office.”

Kreep has requested immediate access to Obama’s records, such as his original long-form birth certificate and his Occidental College records. The plaintiffs’ suspicion is that those records would undermine the president’s statements that he is a “natural born” citizen, which could disqualify him. For example, an original birth certificate could indicate it was a “delayed” filing, which could open the door for a birth location outside the United States.

Likewise, the Occidental College records could be significant if Obama attended on a program for foreign students or represented himself as a foreign student at the time.

The DOJ also filed a separate response to Taitz’ opposition to dismissal Sept. 25, stating, “Much of the opposition filed by these plaintiffs is a disjointed polemic, completely devoid of citation to any case or statutory authority. Defendants will not waste the court’s time, or that of undersigned counsel by seeking to respond to the many irrelevant statements and references made therein.”

Both Taitz and Kreep have expressed significant differences of opinion in how the case should be handled. Should the lawsuit proceed, it will be the first time the merits of the dispute have been heard in open court.

WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama’s status as a “natural born citizen.” The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”

Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama’s American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.

Other challenges have focused on Obama’s citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.

Complicating the situation is Obama’s decision to spend sums probably exceeding $1 million to avoid releasing an original long-form state birth certificate that would put to rest the questions.

WND also has reported that among the documentation not yet available for Obama includes his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records and his adoption records.

Because of the dearth of information about Obama’s eligibility, WND founder Joseph Farah has launched a campaign to raise contributions to post billboards asking a simple question: “Where’s the birth certificate?”

Humpty DumpyObama takes a great fall from grace.

Subject: Mmm, mmm, mmm: Humpty Dumpty takes a great fall

It appears not everyone wants near the Chicago Mafia, thugs and commies [that surround obama] …and the world let Chicago and obama know it.  It’s time they did.  No amount of ego trips and speeches has made this obama as popular and influential as he and his handlers think he is.

Barack Obama, Failed Chicago Olympic Bid

Mmm, mmm, mmm: Humpty Dumpty takes a great fall

   

 

 

 

 By Judi McLeod  Friday, October 2, 2009 The image of President Barack Obama as King of the World folded like the proverbial house of cards today.

And when it folded, it folded on the well-lighted world stage.

Obama took a big fall and not even Michelle, Valerie or Oprah can put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

After spending an estimated $2.5 million—just for both Obamas to get to Copenhagen and back—the Chicago Olympic bid was declined in the first round.

Kudos to the International Olympic Committeehttp://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/15366# for proving before a watching world that the winner was never a done deal; that even raw power cannot put everything in the bag.

Cheers for little people everywhere for it will be Latin America that will host the 2016 Olympic Games.  Olé!

Reported from AFP this morning: “US President Barack Obamahttp://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/15366# took a brief respite on Friday from a packed political agenda to visit Copenhagen on a mission to capture the 2016 Olympics for his cherished hometown of Chicago…he is taking somewhat of a political risk in pitting his presidential prestige on the line.”

As radio talk show giant Rush Limbaugh pointed out, Obama gave his presentation to the IOC on his trademark TelePrompter.

It was only yesterday when Michelle Obama stated that her presence and that of her husband’s in Copenhagen was a “sacrifice”.

Real people the world over know that there is not much sacrifice traveling in a jet with girlfriends, Oprah Winfrey and Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarretthttp://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/15366# in tow.

But mainstream media CNN crowed that “Michelle steals the show in Copenhagen.”

The best line of all came from Drudge: “The ego has landed”.

The ego landed in front of all on Michelle and Barack’s big sacrifice.

Meanwhile, there will be cheering from freedom loving patriots the world over now that Humpty Dumpty has taken his great fall.

 

Danes Dump Obama (Hooray for the Danes) and Chicago Goes Silent

CHICAGO – Thousands of people stood in bewildered silence in downtown Chicago on Friday after the International Olympic Committee surprised everyone by dumping the city from the race for 2016 Summer Olympicshttp://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/15366# in the first round of voting.

The vote in Copenhagen was carried on huge television screens set up in the Daley Center to carry what many had hoped would be approval of Chicago as host. It had seemed so likely to many in a city still basking in the blow of hometown Sen. Barack Obama’s election as president.

Instead, Chicago was bounced in the first round, bringing an audible gasp from the crowd. The elimination came so quickly that some would-be revelers weren’t sure what had happened and they asked bystanders if they had heard what they thought they heard.

Many stood for a few minutes, staring at the screens, and at least one flung his hands into the air in a crude gesture toward the TVs. Within seconds, people began filing out of the plaza.

“I’ve never really had a disappointment like this,” said Ken Rudd, a 33-year-old salesman from Evergreen Park. “This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen.”

CHICAGO – Thousands of people stood in bewildered silence in downtown Chicago on Friday after the International Olympic Committee eliminated the city from the race for the 2016 Summer Olympics in the first round of voting.

The stunning vote in Copenhagen was carried on huge television screens set up in the Daley Center to host what many believed would be a celebration. The choice of Chicago as the host city had seemed so likely to many still basking in the glow of hometown Sen. Barack Obama’s election as president.

Instead, Chicago was bounced in the first round, bringing an audible gasp from the crowd. The elimination came so quickly — more than an hour before the final announcement — that people were still excitedly talking among themselves when IOC President Jacques Rogge announced: “The city of Chicago, having obtained the least number of votes, will not participate in the next round.”

Many weren’t sure what Rogge had said, and turned to each other to ask. Some just stood for a few minutes, staring at the screens, and at least one flung his hands into the air in a crude gesture toward the TVs. Within seconds, people began filing out of the plaza, though many stayed to see Rio de Janeiro ultimately chosen as the winner.

Katie Suitor, a 28-year-old social worker, said she had already signed up to work as a Olympics volunteer.

“I was looking forward to having the world come and see just how great Chicago is,” she said.

Many had looked forward to the jobs and construction projects that would have come with the Olympics.

“I was hoping this would pick up Chicago’s economy, and now I feel pushed even farther from finding a job,” said Vince Monaco, an unemployed 35-year-old in the city.

The IOC decision was a major blow to Mayor Richard M. Daley, who spent three years working, cajoling and insisting that the games would be a boon for his city. The 67-year-old Daley, who has been in office for 20 years, was already grappling with low approval ratings, though it was an open question whether a winning bid would help or hurt those numbers.

The IOC has traditionally partnered with governments where strong leaders like Daley are in control. Bringing an Olympics to Chicago would have been seen as a crowning achievement for the mayor.

“He definitely loses a little face,” said Larry Kajmowicz, a 31-year-old trader and Chicago resident. But, he said. “I don’t see him losing an election due to this.”

The Chicago bid had plenty of homegrown firepower, from Oprah Winfrey right on up to Obama and the first lady, South Side native Michelle Obama. All were in Copenhagen ahead of the vote and the first couple gave presentations to the IOC earlier Friday, though the president left hours before the voting began.

Randy Wood, 49, of San Diego said the IOC clearly wasn’t swayed by Obama’s influence and the early elimination reflects poorly on the president.

“Maybe his clout stopped at the Pacific and the Atlantic,” Wood said.

With Chicago well-known for public corruption and problems with public services, opponents had serious concerns about Olympics-sized hassles and bills, despite assurances by Daley and bid organizers that taxpayers wouldn’t owe a dime.

A recent poll by the Chicago Tribune showed residents almost evenly split, with 47 percent in favor of the bid and 45 percent against — a drop from the 2-1 support the newspaper found in a February poll. The 2016 bid committee said its own poll last week found support from 72 percent of Chicagoans.

On the beachs of Rio, tens of thousands erupted in cheers when they learned their city would host the first Olympics in the South America. Still, news that Chicago had been eliminated was greeted with surprise.

“Wow, we never thought Chicago would get out in the first round,” said 29-year-old Rio resident Leandro Cruz, one of thousands gathered on Copacabana beach. “Everybody thought it would be Chicago and Rio until the very end.”
