The date we have been praying for all these years has finally
arrived. We now have a widely known and very popular conservative
candidate for the US Senate from Arizona, JD Hayworth. JD will be the
consistent conservative Republican voice we have been pleading for. He
will fight for our beliefs and not sell us out with double-talk and
flip-flops in a bi-partisan march to the left.
Can anyone tell me when bipartisanship has moved the political
spectrum to the right? Bipartisanship now means to sacrifice
conservative principles and adopt a liberal way of life. That is what
John McCain has bequeathed to us. He has been anything but
consistent. He has not demonstrated a consistent, solidly
conservative, Constitutional foundation. His hallmark legislative
bill, Campaign Finance Reform, has finally been ruled
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. We all knew that it was, and we knew that he was out
of step with our beliefs. JD will be our consistent conservative
voice. We will not have to fear that JD will take a Maverick lunge to
the left as McCain did with closing gun shows, giving amnesty to
illegal aliens or buying into Al Gore's thesis that humans are causing
Global Warming.
Come join us for a new awakening of the American Spirit as we kick
off the JD Hayworth Campaign on Feb 15th at 9:30am at the Campaign
Headquarters on the South West corner of Cactus and 32nd Street, 3129
E. Cactus. It will be a great day for Arizona! Look for me when you
arrive. I will have a special JD Hayworth campaign pin for you to wear
for the next 10 months as we show everyone that JD is Arizona's pick
for the U.S. Senate.

Frank Discussion Not Lecture For Conservatives
www.capoliticalnews.com |
February 02, 2010, 12:54 PM
For
years the Leftist Democrat Congressman Barney Frank (absolutely not a
relative) has
pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, government lending institutions, to
give loans to folks based on race and the LACK of ability to pay off
them
off.
In fact, because of the Barney Frank forced policies, we
had the housing bubble. Local banks would loan money based on race,
diversity and
low income, then sell the mortgages to Fannie or Freddie.
The recent collapse of banks and home loans is a direct result of the radical
Barney.
Now,
he wants to end these corrupt organizations (Franklin Rains, the head
of one of them made $90 millions from the bonuses caused by
the massive number of bad loans).
"For Frank and the principals
at Fannie and Freddie, its a stunning reversal. For conservative
critics, its
about time. They charge that if Frank and Democrats had realized these
institutions needed a basement-to-attic overhaul sooner, the impact of
the
housing crisis on taxpayers and the financial system would have been
greatly reduced.
He
and other Democrats have concluded what many of us
knew, said Representative Jeb Hensarling, a Texas Republican on the
Financial Services Committee. These were ticking fiscal time bombs.
Frank counters
that there were few signs the institutions were at such risk.
Nobody saw this coming, he said in an interview. What changed was the complete
collapse of the housing market, which hit Fannie and Freddie harder than anybody else.
Frank lied. In 2001President Bush noted the corruption
and incompetence of the Fannie and Freddie polices, and said they were creating a bubble.
Time to get the government out of the mortgage
loan, and all other businesses.

Obama Surrendering Internet to Foreign Powers
Sunday, 31 Jan 2010 06:41 PM
Article Font Size
By: Bradley A. Blakeman
Without the ingenuity of America’s brightest minds and the investment
of U.S. taxpayer dollars, there would be no Internet, as we now know it
today.
Now, the Obama administration has moved quietly to cede control of the Web from the United States to foreign powers.
Some background: The Internet came into being because of the genius
work of Americans Dr.Robert E. Kahn and Dr. Vinton G. Cerf. These men,
while working for the Department of Defense in the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency in the early 1970s, conceived, designed, and
implemented the idea of "open-architecture networking."
This breakthrough in connectivity and networking was the birth of the Internet.
These two gentlemen had the vision and the brainpower to create a
worldwide computer Internet communications network that forever changed
the world and how we communicate in it.
They discovered that providing a person with a unique identifier
(TCP/IP)that was able to be recognized and interact through a network
of servers would allow users to communicate with others.
The servers woulduse a series of giant receivers to recognize the
identifier and connect networks to networks, passing on information
from computer to computer in a seamless real-time exchange of
information. This new process of communication became know as the
"information super highway," aka, the Internet.
Now for the bad news: In an effort to show the world how inclusive,
sharing, cooperative, and international America can be, the Obama
administration set off on a plan to surrender control and key
management of the Internet by the U.S. Department of Commerce and its
agents.
The key to the control America has over the Internet is through the
management of the Domain Name System (DNS) and the giant servers that
service the Internet.
Domain names are managed through an entity named IANA, the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority. The IANA, which operates on behalf of the
U.S. Department of Commerce, is responsible for the global coordination
of the DNS, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources.
In short, without an IP Address or other essential Internet protocols, a person or entity would not have access to the Internet.
For years, the international community has been pressuring the United States
to surrender its control and management of the Internet. They want an
international body such as the United Nations or even the International
Telecommunications Union, (an entity that coordinates international
telephone communications), to manage all aspects of the Internet in
behalf of all nations.
The argument advanced for those seeking international control of the
Internet is that the Internet has become such a powerful, pervasive,
and a dependent form of international communications, that it would be
dangerous and inequitable for any one nation to control and manage it.
Just this past spring, within months of Obama's taking office, his
administration, through the Department of Commerce, agreed to
relinquish some control over IANA and their governance. The Obama
administration has agreed to give greater representation to foreign
companies and countries on IANA.
This amounts to one small step for internationalism and one giant leap
for surrendering America's control over an invention we have every
right and responsibility to control and manage.
It is in America's economic and national security interests not to
relinquish any control. We are responsible for the control, operation,
and functionality of one of the modern world's greatest inventions and
most powerful communications network.
What better country to protect the Internet than the United States?
We invented it, and we paid for the research and implementation that made it
possible. We are the freest, most tolerant nation on earth, we believe in the
fundamental right of free speech, and we practice a free market of commerce and ideas.
America has always been against censorship and has shared its invention
with the world without fee or unreasonable or arbitrary restriction.
The user fee to operate on the Internet is not one paid to the U.S.
government; a consumer pays it to private Internet companies, who
provide access to the Internet through servers for their subscribers.
Look no further than China's recent move against Google to censor the
Internet, and you can envision what can happen when other nations less free
than the United States seek to control the Internet beyond even their own borders.
America needs to wake up. If we lose control over the management of the
Internet, we have given away one of our nation's greatest assets with nothing
in return to show for it.
The Obama administration's actions will set in motion a slow and
complete takeover of the Internet by the United Nations or some other
equally U.S.-hostile and unfriendly international body. And once it is
gone, it will be gone forever.
The surrender of the Internet will spell disaster for our nation,
financially, as well as for safety, security and our standing as a
great power that values freedom and the free exchange of ideas and
information.
As far as I am concerned, America is still the last best hope for a more
peaceful and prosperous world and our president should not be looking for
ways to weaken us. Rather, his job is to work to strengthen us and
protect our nation's greatest asset our people's creativity and
ingenuity.

Bush from 2001-2004, teaches public policy and politics and

By Terri Cullen
NEW YORK (Reuters.com) --The Obama administration's plan to cut
more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies
heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a
bigger tax bill for middle-class families.
In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the
White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by
the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth.
While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating
tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more,
middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.
The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush
administration's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of
2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed
taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the
estate tax to zero in 2010.
If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the
top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35
percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25
percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent
bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will
increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated.
Investors will pay more on their earnings next year as well, with
the tax on dividends jumping to 39.6 percent from 15 percent and the
capital-gains tax increasing to 20 percent from 15 percent. The estate
tax is eliminated this year, but it will return in 2011 -- though there
has been talk about reinstating the death tax sooner.
Millions of middle-class households already may be facing higher
taxes in 2010 because Congress has failed to extend tax breaks that
expired on January 1, most notably a "patch" that limited the impact of
the alternative minimum tax. The AMT, initially designed to prevent the
very rich from avoiding income taxes, was never indexed for inflation.
Now the tax is affecting millions of middle-income households, but
lawmakers have been reluctant to repeal it because it has become a key
source of revenue.
Without annual legislation to renew the patch this year, the AMT
could affect an estimated 25 million taxpayers with incomes as low as
$33,750 (or $45,000 for joint filers). Even if the patch is extended to
last year's levels, the tax will hit American families that can hardly
be considered wealthy -- the AMT exemption for 2009 was $46,700 for
singles and $70,950 for married couples filing jointly.
Middle-class families also will find fewer tax breaks available to
them in 2010 if other popular tax provisions are allowed to expire.
Among them:
* Taxpayers who itemize will lose the option to deduct state sales-tax payments instead of state and local income taxes;
* The $250 teacher tax credit for classroom supplies;
* The tax deduction for up to $4,000 of college tuition and expenses;
* Individuals who don't itemize will no longer be able to increase
their standard deduction by up to $1,000 for property taxes paid;
* The first $2,400 of unemployment benefits are taxable, in 2009 that amount was tax-free.
In honor of all veterans:
A Poem Worth Reading
He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.
And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.
But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For ol' Bob has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Soldier died today.
He won't be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life.
He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Soldier died today.
When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.
Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.
Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?
Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?
The politician's stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.
While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.
It's so easy to forget them,
For it was so long ago,
That our Bobs and Jims and Johnnys,
Went to battle, but we know,
It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.
Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?
Or would you want a Soldier--
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.
He was just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his like again.
For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.
If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.
Perhaps just a simply headline
In the paper that might say:
"OUR COUNTRY
IS IN MOURNING,
A SOLDIER DIED TODAY."
Pass On The Patriotism!
YOU can make a difference
A
veteran - whether active duty, retired, National Guard, or reserve, is
someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable
to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including
my life".
That
is an Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer
understand it.

TIME TO START FIGHTING
AMNESTY: PLEASE DO WHAT THEY ASK BELOW AND READ TO THE BOTTOM! THEN
SEND THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!
Dear Members
Below, following the website of Chaffetz's H Res 1026
are two additional sources of information on H R 1026.
One by FAIR
and one by NumbersUSA
Already there are emails concerning the strength of this bill
and that it does not go far enough or is not tough enough.
I agree - but as stated by Roy Beck below it is an avenue
where we can use our voices in support of NO AMNESTY
and a way to find out just where our Representatives
stand........
with Cuellar/Gutierrez - Amnesty
If your Representatives are not supporting this bill - ask
them --- Why NOT?
In addition - it would be wonderful if those you have
already stepped up
to the plate received emails or calls of gratitude from one
and all.
Ruthie
H. Res. 1026 the Bipartisan Reform of Immigration through
Defining Good Enforcement (“BRIDGE”) Resolution.
The BRIDGE
Resolution reaffirms that the continued peace, prosperity, liberty, and
national security of the United States depend upon effective
immigration enforcement policies which both welcome lawful immigrants
and also prevent individuals from entering or remaining in the U.S.
illegally.
Specifically,
the resolution states that Congress should
make E-Verify mandatory for all employers, and hold
employees accountable as well; provide sufficient border infrastructure and
manpower to secure and control our borders; and reject amnesty and any legal status which pardons
those here in violation of our laws.

When a government breaches its limitations
placed upon it by a constitution, (a) the government agent loses its trust to
rule, (b) the powers delegated to it are reverted back to the creators of the
constitution, and (c) the constitution becomes non-binding on those who created
it. This is the natural law concept of “the
consent of the government,” as expressed in our Declaration of
Independence.
Particular to the United States, the U.S.
Constitution was voluntarily formed as a compact by existing sovereign states
with existing state constitutions. Despite the deceptive
proposition that the States were created by Congress, the States existed prior
to and independent of any Congress, as confirmed by the Treaty of Paris in 1783
(which, by the way, was not overturned by any subsequent legal action of the
states). “The State governments, by their original constitutions, are invested
with complete sovereignty.” Alexander Hamilton, FP 31. And, “Each State, in
ratifying the constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of
all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” James Madison, FP
39.
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are
in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce
unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and
constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any
pretence, raised in the United States." --Noah Webster, An Examination of the
Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787
"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the
people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments,
to which the people are attached and by which the militia officers are
appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more
insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of."
--James Madison, Federalist No. 46
"The whole of that Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the
people at large or considered as individuals... [I]t establishes some rights of
the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to
deprive them of." --Albert Gallatin, letter to Alexander Addison, 1789
"[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain,
the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, - who was governor of
Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way
to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let
them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia." --George
Mason, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788
"[W]hereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the
people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to
use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into
actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must
be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men
disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true
republicans are for carefully guarding against it." --Federal Farmer,
Antifederalist Letter, No.18
"We established however some, although not all its [self-government]
important principles. The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all
power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all
cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their
functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves,
in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by
representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to
be at all times armed." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Cartwright,
1824
"One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for
them." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to George Washington, 1796

January 18th, 2010
This is the kind of backbone our politicians should have in this country. It makes sense that when we come to this new country (for us) we must accept it as it is and has been since it's foundation or remain where we came from. I find it totally and absolutely ludicrous to jump over a neighbor's back fence and demand all the things we need from them WITHOUT BEING INVITED OR EXPECTED! Mary Rose Wilcox the County Board of Supervisor for District 5 deliberately uses
the race card. She has a low level of mental ability to understand or chooses not to admit that
Hispanic does not equal illegal! Many of us are offended by her generalization that there is lack
of respect for Hispanics by the Sheriff. No Mary Rose, there is lack of respect for our country by
your comments and divisive speeches to the illegals. It is her who should realize that this is not
about race, but about the law! But how would she practice what she obviously doesn't respect?
I can see why she wants the elected officials that are actually looking into her corruption of many years past and present. She thinks the law doesn't apply to her. MRW and her network
of thugs ignore the laws. Now someone with the courage to investigate it is put on the seat of
the bad guy, when in reality she should own up to her many acts of corruption. She is not above the law!
There is something wrong with the mental processing of Mexicans, Latinos or Hispanics, whatever they call themselves! I came here from that corrupt country and would never want to turn the USA into a Mexico. Any other country with petty, politicians who would not allow what this country has allowed to the illegals to the detriment of all Americans who came here as "Legal Immigrants" or have been Americans for many generations!
I consider myself an American first and foremost, I don't accept dual citizenship because nobody can serve two masters and remain loyal to one! When I swore my oath of allegiance to this country I meant it! I came here to be a part of this nation and to support it against those who want to destroy it.
Our government needs to be as loyal as those of us who came here and value our citizenship. We want this country to be ruled according to our constitution and its laws. Immigrants do not
equal illegal entrants. Immigrants come through the front door. Most Americans welcome legal
immigrants. Illegal entrants are considered criminals because they enter in the middle of the night like burglars, without proper documents. They steal identities, and take all they can out of
this country. Many of them have the welfare mentality of "give me, give me. give me"
People who only come to take and want to turn this country into the cesspool they came from need not to leave their original place of birth. We don't want people who only come to cause division and promote ignorance of the laws that founded this nation.
This is not an issue of Civil Rights, this is an issue of respecting our laws. American criminals lose their Civil Rights when they commit a crime. What makes these rude, demanding individuals think they're entitled to that which belongs to Americans -and those who enter the front door of this country by following the immigration laws?
I am disgusted with them using the race card when they know Mexican is not a race! We who were born there have mixes of Spaniards, French and indigenous people who at one time came from Asia and even Africa. There are also Mexicans of Arab, Israeli origin. We are not one race. Being born in Mexico and maintaining that citizenship is what makes them "Mexican" They are too dense to understand that Mexican is not a race but a Nationality. I happen to be an American Citizen, who gave up my Mexican Nationality when I swore an oath of allegiance to this Country. I will remain an American until the day I die! And while I'm an American, I will stand for this wonderfully, generous nation who has done so much for so many. Being an American does not mean we have to be of a certain color, size or shape. So throw out the race card thugs.
Our poor America is now being abused by the disloyalty of people who either come here' illegally or are descendants of illegals, or are ignorant of the meaning of the word "racist" which does not apply to the Mexican Nationals. And the only reason they use is because as a corrupt politician once said:"We don't use it because it's true, but because it works"! Sadly, it only works with ignorant uneducated people who use it as a crutch to get sympathy and to bully others.
They have lost the Mexican pride which at one time made Mexico a good country.
Mexican people used to have dignity, self respect, and respect for the laws.
The people coming here illegally are those who don't fit in their own country: Why?
because they are the kind of people who commit crimes against their own people.
Many of them come here to avoid accountability for their criminal acts in their own
Country.
I have to laugh when they call me a traitor to Mexico, it is them who are traitors to
themselves and their country. What makes them think they are patriotic Mexicans
when they abandon their "beloved country (?)" instead of staying and working for it? That shows the level of their mental ability. They shouldn't be allowed to bully
Americans nor demand from the USA what they should demand in their own countries.
As for those traitor politicians who march with them; I would respect their desire to obtain civil and human rights for them IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY OF ORIGIN! And if they
themselves have not assimilated enough to stand for what this country
stands, let them be heroes and go to the countries they advocate for. Not in America!
Mary Rose Wilcox and her thugs should try to play the Rosa Parks role in Mexico. She sure isn't a Rosa Parks here. There was only one, and she had the right to do what she did. Blacks didn't jump a fence uninvited, they were brought in as slaves. They helped build America with the sweat of their brows and the pain on their backs, from the whippings they suffered after being brought here against their will. We are not guilty of what the early colonists did to others. But neither are the illegal alien Mexicans have a right to this land as they claim. None of us are responsible for the past actions of a few. We should not have to pay for it, nor should those who claim this land was theirs have a right to it.
Let's dump MRW, she isn't a Rosa Parks! She is a thug like those she marches with!
Deport her and let her play the heroine in the illegal's country of origin.
*************************************************************************
The illegal aliens hear the word 'AMNESTY' by our politicians and they keep coming! See the undisputed evidence of their lack of respect for our laws. They are creating a lawless country like the one they left behind. After they do this to America, where can we go? Please tell our leaders: "NO AMNESTY !"
And the victims of crime will continue to suffer our government's neglect of our borders, and lack of concern for its citizens who will continue to pay for that neglect with their lives for our government lack of responsibility.
.
Please wait...
