I love this t-shirt! With all the hullaballloo about Arizona and their immigration law, it was just a matter of time before someone came up with a great idea.

Here is a great way to show your support for America, Arizona and the laws of this land.  I just received this information from a friend and am passing it on to you.  To order your shirt, follow the link to Vision to America.

Wal-Mart and RFID Chips

Well my post before this one was about how Wal-mart could run a successful business and should give the government some pointers.  Well, this link is a great segue to that story because it seems Wal-mart is acting more and more like the government as they soon will be tracking their customers.

Wal-mart has announced that they are going to install on garments (underwear and jeans) with a scannable, electronic ID cards and tags starting on August 1, 2010.  This is a real-time tracking system for controlling inventory and preventing theft.  These are removable Radio Frequency ID Tags (RFID'S) that will allow their employees to track and identify which sizes are missing from the shelves and what additional items remain in the storerooms and all of this will be done with the use of handheld scanners.

Dr. Katherine Albrecht is a syndicated talk show host and privacy campaigner who can be heard on this link while being interviewed by George Noory during the show, Coast to Coast AM.  Katherine says 250 Million Spy Chips (RFID's) will be used in this campaign.  She wrote a book called Spy Chips and talked about the book on Coast to Coast back in 2006 and says now it is happening.  These are LIVE spy chips that will be on the items that you bring home from Wal-mart and can be read through your walls or even scanned at your curb through your "Hefty" trash bag.

Why is this a concern?  Because these are transmitters that will allow a reader to drive by your home on trash day and track what you bought and link it to where you live, what you bought, where you bought it and ultimately, "Big Brother" is watching.  This is called "Talking Trash" in the book Spy Chips.  Bell South which is the parent company for Singular Wireless actually patented a way to scan people's garbage at the dump without even opening the bag and link it back to the person who had bought it and sell those records to marketers.

This all ties into the enhanced Driver's Licences or Electronic Passports that many Americans already have and it gets pretty scary.  Wal-mart is going to be putting RFID readers into their stores.  Not only do these readers emit electro-magnetic radiation which European research has shown damages DNA and reproductive organs where you are going to standing in front of shelves emitting this energy.  This RFID scanner would be mounted on the shelf at Wal-mart and will not only be tracking their merchandise but it will be tracking you if you have one of these E-Passport or an enhanced driver's licenses in your pocket or purse.  What that means is they will be able to profile you.  Their market researchers have already said that they want to use this technology in their stores to track people.  To do things like identify a persons value to the store and change the prices as they approach the shelf.  This would be similar to the guy on the airplane that paid a different price for his plane ticket than you did for you.  NCR (National Cash Register Corporation a Wal-marts retail partner) is deeply involved with RFID and NCR has large plans on how to use this new technology in stores and they even have additional plans to watch you when you get home with these chips as well.

Since 2002 Katherine Albrecht has been speaking out on this subject and she is concerned that with the depressed economy people are not paying attention and need to speak out against this.  Wake Up America! Let your local Wal-mart know how you feel about this!

Wal-Mart vs. the US Government

I received this an email and wanted to share the information with all of you.  This is why Capitalism works!  Read on about: Wal-Mart vs. the US Government

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.) 12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy. This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, it is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:
a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ??

MAYBE WE OUGHT TO KICK YOUR EGG-HEAD BUDDY BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND HIRE WAL-MART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ???  WAL-MART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.......WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST ADMIT IT'S WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?

Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman USAF

Received this email regarding the death of Captain Ed Freeman of the USAF who died in August of 2008.  The email was targeting all the "news media" hype on Hollywood celebrity topics but points out that there was little if any coverage of the death of this great hero.  Read on about a true patriot!

Courage

You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Vietnam in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley.

It's November 14, 1967. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 yards away, that your CO has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.

You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But ... It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.

Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway. He drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.  And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.  He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho . May God Bless and Rest His Soul.

Sure wish there was more media coverage of great men like this.

Phoenix Suns

I received this via email a couple days ago and did research to authenticate the claims that this REALLY was posted to Governor Jan Brewer's facebook page but couldn't find evidence that is was or wasn't.  I did find the statement being attributed to the Governor, but couldn't validate if it really was her quote or not.

Regardless of the validation of the author, the quote stands on it's own as a valid point in the ongoing "controversy" over the Arizona law on immigration.  I really don't get, as I have posted earlier, all the "hype" as the Arizona law does NOT overstep the current Federal law that is in place and on the books regarding illegal aliens.  The controversy, I guess, is because the Arizona law will take ACTION on the matter in which the Federal government has NOT implemented their law.  Seems ridiculous to have laws and then NOT enforce them.  Any parent knows how silly and overrun your authority will be if you don't implement consequences.

Here is the "supposed" quote to the Phoenix Suns basketball team players who were protesting the new Arizona law:

Much has been said against Arizona's move to do the Federal Government's job. The following was sent by a friend and pokes fun at the Suns. To see where it came from first, see the last line.

"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected.
Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?"

Six Flags Controversy!

Just caught wind of this controversy involving the Six Flags in Chicago. (NOTE: from my understanding ALL Six Flags are corporately owned.).  In 2000 the Six Flags groups started a "Muslim Family Day" that is held always on September 12th, lining up with the ending of Ramadan.

This year there is a boycott being called against Six Flags as there are allegations against the Muslim group organizing this event at Six Flags because they could have been involved financially in the 9-11 attacks against America.  Some are saying the date of their "family day" is also offensive as it is the day after the most recent attacks that took place against America.

Clearly this is just the beginning of this issue but I wanted you to know that there are some questions regarding this corporate giant.  This is still America and the spending of our money is what gets corporations attention.  You decide.

SR 519 - Parental Rights

Some of you may not be aware of what is going on in the world with the United Nations' Convention regarding the Rights of the Child.  The 111th United States Congress on May 10, 2010 introduced Senate Resolution 519.

As of November 2009, 194 countries have ratified it, including every member of the United Nations except Somalia and the United States.  When a nation ratifies this convention they are BOUND to it by international law.  If the United States ratifies this convention than INTERNATIONAL LAW would rule over our nations laws when it comes to OUR children and their needs.  This convention could then decide the human rights standard for ALL children of the world (those nations that have ratified this convention).  Everything from immunizations, health and wellness, education and even religion could all be controlled by this world convention.

In Article 7 of the document it states: The child shall be registered immediately after birth...  The Convention is making a documentation process for all children to be assigned a "social worker" if you will, to follow them and implement the "plan" for their life according to the Convention. This is just one of many "scary" things that this Convention is about.  The "convention" will have final authority over the children of the "convention".  Parent's will be secondary to the system.

We need our congress to hear us as we desire to have Americans making laws for Americans, not world conventions.  Currently in the US Senate there are 25 cosponsors on Senate Resolution 519 which opposes US ratification of the UN Convention.  Parental Rights has a list of Senators in the congress and how to contact them on their web-site.  Please CALL  YOUR SENATOR and let your voice be heard.  You can also go to Parental Rights web-site and click on your state, then click on the senator's/representative's name in your area and you will be taken to their home page.  This is a valuable tool to know who to contact and where they are located.

Currently there are a number a states legislatures that have taken up resolutions opposing ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child or are urging Congress to pass the Parental Rights Amendment to the States for ratification.  A few have done both.  Here is a summary of those resolutions by State:
Hawaii
Complementary resolutions supporting the proposed Parental Rights Amendment are currently assigned to committees in the House (H.C. R. 60) and Senate (S.C.R. 74). Action Items: Call your representatives in HI's state House and Senate and urge them to support HCR 60 and SCR 74.
Michigan
H.C.R. 45, a resolution supporting the Parental Rights Amendment, has been introduced in the House with 60 sponsors out of the 110 member body. Action Items: Call your representative in MI's state House and urge him to support HCR 45.

Alaska
S.J.R. 26, supporting the Parental Rights Amendment, was introduced in Alaska's State Senate on January 20, 2010. Action Items: Call your representative in AK's state Senate and urge him to support SJR 26.
Tennessee SUCCESS!
H.J.R. 0369, opposing U.S. ratification of the UN's CRC, passed the General Assembly (70-20) in June 09 and the Senate (26-3) in February 10.

Oklahoma SUCCESS!
H.C.R. 1033, opposing U.S. ratification of the UN's CRC, passed both the House (61-28) and the Senate. The resolution has been referred to OK's Secretary of State.

South Dakota SUCCESS!
H.C.R. 1014, supporting the Parental Rights Amendment, passed both the House (41-28) and the Senate (21-13) in March 2010.
Louisiana SUCCESS!
S.C.R. 38, supporting the Parental Rights Amendment, unanimously passed both the House (93-0) and the Senate (34-0) in June 2010.
Virginia
H.J.R. 193, opposing US ratification of the CRC and supporting the Parental Rights Amendment, passed VA's House (64-31) on Feb. 15th but was killed in a Senate subcommittee through lack of any action at all - they never even met.

Volunteers are working on similar state resolutions in the following states: California, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, and Utah.

Please help to protect the right of children to have their interest protected by their parents over some oversight committee.

NO Mosque at Ground Zero - Jay Sekulow

Have we FORGOTTEN?

Jay Sekulow is the Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) which is a law firm and educational organization that focuses on constitutional law in the United States.  He had an interesting discussing on his radio show yesterday entitled, NO Mosque at Ground Zero.  He addressed many concerns about the $100 million dollar Mosque that is being funding by "NO ONE knows who" and that is scheduled to be erected in New York City (just 600 feet from where Tower One used to stand) and to be dedicated on 9-11's ten year anniversary, next year.  What is also making this matter more troubling, aside from the fact that Muslims throughout history have erected Mosques over the sites of their victories, is that there is a very illusive money trail and some of the names being mentioned have known ties to be anti-American and are associated with radial Muslim groups.  It is also common knowledge that traditionally the Mosque was not only a place of prayer meetings but was also a military training ground since the foundations of Islam.

Tim Brown (former member of the New York Fire Department and who personally was on the location of the buildings during the 9-11 attacks) has been speaking out against this Mosque.  He has been active in this matter from the beginning as has former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Landmark status has been given to many properties in New York City and some have been pending for over 20 years on what to do with those properties and suddenly a Muslim group was able to purchase this landmark property and have been granted special permissions and status to build on this significant piece of land.  People are beginning to catch wind of all the details and our outraged.  You can call 877-989-2255 to make your voice heard on this matter today to speak out on this potential victory tower in the form of a mosque in New York City.

A side comment that is noteworthy is that President Obama has issued a statement earlier this year saying that people are no longer able to use the word "Islam" or "Jihad" in public government affairs and yet newly appointed Afghanistan commander General Petraeus has issued a doctrine in which he refers to "Islamic insurgents", Islamic extremists" and Islamic subversives".  Seems we have a conflict here and we will have to watch and see in the General has to re-write his doctrine on counterinsurgency.

Once again, please take a minute to call 877-989-2255 and let your voice be heard along with all those in New York City.

Nevada TEA Party

I didn't see this covered on my local news and I assume you didn't as well.  Here is the Harry Reid Retirement Party AKA the Searchlight Nevada TEA Party gathering in March of this year.  Unbelievable the numbers of people that are turning out for these gatherings and it is NO surprise that this was in Senator's Harry Reid's Backyard.  I think you could assume that people are going to vote this November and it doesn't Look Good for the Senator.

NASA and the Obama Administration


So if you have been following the latest news of controversy coming from the White House you are then aware that the NASA administrator Charles Bolden says President Obama has ordered him to pursue three new objectives.  Those objectives were to:
  1. "re-inspire children" to study science and math
  2. "expand our international relationships" and
  3. "reach out to the Muslim world."
Makes sense.  Wait.  What?  "Reach out to the Muslim world"?  What in the heck does that have to do with NASA.  These comments were made public in a recent interview that Mr. Bolden had with al-Jazeera.

"It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim (nations)," he said. He held up the International Space Station as a model, praising the contributions there from the Russians and the Chinese.

This seems to be the first time that a "religion" is getting the nod from NASA and the timing seems to be a bit suspicious with all that is going on in our country.  What makes this of further interest to me is that today the White House is contradicting the NASA administrator's claim that President Barack Obama assigned him to reach out to Muslims on science matters and the administration's officials have spoken with NASA about the matter.

Hmmm - again we see a conflict of what is being said in private and then what is said in public.  Will we ever know the truth in this administration?

NY Times and Kagan

The New York Times has published an interesting link about Republican Senators who plan to Vote on Elena Kagan.  This is important as the President can't get any legislation passed without some republicans supporting his causes.  Names of interest are: Orrin Hatch (UT), Tom Coburn (OK), Susan Collins (ME), Judd Gregg (NH), Jon Kyl (AZ), Richard Lugar (IN), and Olympia Snowe (ME) as they all plan to vote FOR the appointment of Kagan.  At this link there is also a way to see what each Senator has commented about their vote.  (NOTE:  All the Senator's votes and comments are available to see at this link.  I just pointed out the Republicans that are voting YES for approval. There is also a pull-down tab available on the link to see many lists regarding this vote.)

I normally am not a great fan of the NY Times, but this chart of where the Republican members of the Senate stand on Kagan (and also Sotomayor) is useful.

You can call ANY of the Senators at 202-224-3121 or 202-224-3121 and ask them to oppose the Kagan nomination and ask them to filibuster if necessary. You can find each Senator's name and address information at this link: United States Senate.  Also remember the Christian Voter Guide where you can find information on any local office numbers by simply clicking on the states and also relative information from a Christian perspective.

Born Alive

I recently was in a discussion with a Christian about Obama.  As a Christian, they had no problem standing with him in agreement as a leader and president.  Through this discussion, we got on the topic of abortion and the "Born Alive" legislation that Obama endorsed.  Many people are NOT familiar with this legislation so I felt this would be a good topic to post here today.

I am going to warn you that this is HEART WRENCHING to discuss this but because of current actions of our medical community and laws that were in place, it needed to be address.  For information verifying these atrocities you can go to Clinic Quotes for more details.  Let me say again, that the information at this site is disturbing but unfortunately it is true documentation!

Mr. Obama commented during the first Presidential debate when asked by Rick Warren the question of, in Mr. Obama's opinion, when does a baby gets human rights? He wouldn't answer the question directly and said it was beyond him theologically or scientifically to answer the question with specificity because it was "above his pay-grade".

As reported to the Chicago Sun Times, ten to twenty percent of babies born during the procedure of a labor induced abortion at Christ Hospital were born alive in 2001.  The intent of the procedure is to open the womb and have the baby "drop out" thereby ending the pregnancy.  Many of these babies don't die in the process and are born alive hence legislation has been introduced to stop this act.  The babies, when born alive are left to die.  No help is given to them because the mother's intent was for the child to die.  So nurses and doctors have to watch a human die with NO help from he medical staff.  No oxygen can be given. No medical treatment at all.  Many of the children are just left laying out-of-sight to die.  This is barbaric!

Mr. Obama took a leadership role and was the ONLY Senator to speak against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act bill that was introduced to the Illinois legislature not once but two legislative years in a row on the Senate floor.  He posted to his web-site that he strategized with Planned Parenthood to defeat this bill.  He later went on to say that this (the Born Alive Infant Protection Act bill) forbid abortions to take place if these babies were protected and that this would then be an anti-abortion statute.

He voted "present" on the Senate when the bill came to a vote and he felt this legislation would ultimately be found to be unconstitutional.  He said voted "present" because in Illinois a "present" vote is the same as a "no" vote.  He thought by doing this he would lure some squeamish Senator's who really didn't want to vote to endorse infanticide (by opposing this bill) that he could lure them to vote "present" as well knowing that this "present" vote would be a "no" vote.

Obama goes on to say that "people are lying" in that he would have supported the Federal bill to support ANY infant that needed assistance even it if it was the consequence of an induced abortion.  His issue is that the bill presented to the Illinois legislature was NOT like the Federal bill.  But in 2001, when Illinois legislation was introduced, he spoke out against it where it would have recognized premature abortions survivors as persons.  This was in response to the Chicago hospital incidence and Obama voted "present" on this.  The second legislation that was introduced in 2003 to the Illinois state Senate came before Obama's health committee that was EXACTLY like the Federal legislation and again, he voted against it yet he has stated that he agreed to the Federal legislation and he would have supported the Federal legislation but his personal issues were with the wording of the Illinois legislation.  THIS is the lie and it is Obama who is caught in it.  The second legislation introduced in Illinois was worded exactly like the Federal legislation that he said he would have supported, yet he didn't.

Furthermore, in 2003, the Born Alive Act had passed 98-0 in the US Senate.  Hillary Clinton, Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Ted Kennedy, all voted for this. Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy spoke in favor of it on the Senate floor. There was a neutrality clause also in this Federal bill.

This same neutrality clause was introduced into Barak Obama's state senate health and human services committee.  Barak voted to make this bill identical to the Federal bill by voting to accept this neutrality clause but then he voted against the bill on the Senate floor.  He is going around telling people that he didn't like the Illinois legislation and that he would have supported the Federal legislation and he voted to adapt the neutrality clause (in his committee) to make the 2003 Illinois legislation match the Federal legislation but then he voted against it.  You tell me where the lie is and with who?

People wake up and SEE that this man has a history of not speaking the truth.  This information is beyond spin, this is simply Mr. Obama not being truthful.  He has yet to acknowledge, admit or recant his error.

I Am America! - Krista Branch

A great new song I came across today called, I Am America.  There are great lyrics and I think you will like it.  America is waking up to the agenda of this current administration.  Hopefully, we don't grow weary and continue to fight for the freedom's we have been given.

Elena Kagan is Pro-Abortion

IMMEDIATE ACTION IS NEEDED!
I received a troubling letter from Americans United for Life Action (AUL) regarding the new Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan.  Rather than paraphrasing the letter, I decided to post it here:
There is a startling new development in the Kagan nomination. We now know that Elena Kagan appeared willing to lobby not one, but two medical organizations.


During her time in the Clinton Administration, Elena Kagan urged the President to oppose any meaningful restrictions on partial-birth abortion. She told President Clinton at the time that any real limitations on abortion were “unconstitutional.” In addition, it now appears that Kagan pushed her agenda one step further by lobbying two major medical organizations to publicly change their positions on partial-birth abortion.

In a June 15th legal memo from our sister organization, Americans United for Life, AUL attorneys raised additional concerns about Kagan’s apparent lobbying efforts to change the position of a major medical group – the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) – on partial birth abortion.
When Kagan found out in December 1996 that ACOG was considering a statement that its experts "could identify no circumstances under which the [partial-birth] procedure... would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman," Kagan wrote a memo stating that this “of course would be [a] disaster.”


In other words, Elena Kagan knew that if ACOG’s scientific opinion became public, her argument that partial-birth abortion is necessary would be completely discredited.

Kagan intervened and drafted language to alter ACOG’s position.

Yesterday, Kagan was questioned about this by several Senators and admitted that the new language was in her handwriting.
