The son of a Kenyan Muslim and a liberal socialist who was discipled in Marxist liberation theology, it is clear what President Obama meant when he said to the American people “This is what change looks like.” He has aggressively set out to implement the most leftist political agenda our nation has ever seen.

From ObamaCare to the rapid expansion of the federal government in both size and scope to takeovers of business, banking, increased control over the economy, increases in taxes in pursuit of class-envy based wealth redistribution and bailouts as the fix for our economic woes….to liberal court activism, planned amnesty for 13 million illegal aliens, diminishing the U.S. military, weakening gun rights, silencing conservatives, ushering in a rise in liberal theology, and much more…

The liberal media certainly aren’t going to give you the truth. But Grassfire researchers have compiled “Obama Exposed,” an easy-to-read and understand 64-page resource that gives patriots unbridled insight into the threats that await, and what we can do to restore our nation to greatness. As we edge closer to what may shape up to be the most important midterm elections in the history of our nation, it’s imperative that Americans have access to this information.

Gaming the Arizona Border

New Video Reports on Illegal Immigration in Cochise County

WASHINGTON (August 10, 2010) – Federal officials routinely assure the public that they are gaining control over the Arizona border. Despite these assurances, a new video from the Center for Immigration Studies, entitled, “Gaming the Border: a Report from Cochise County, Arizona,” shows why the border there remains porous, as illegal immigrants avoid the Border Patrol and walk around checkpoints on highways north of the border. It is available on the Center’s website at http://cis.org/Videos/GamingtheBorder-CochiseCounty.

The video opens at the Cochise County ranch of John Ladd, whose family homesteaded the land in 1896. Ladd describes repeated sightings of illegal immigrants from his kitchen window. The report shows video of illegal immigrants running across his property to rendezvous with smugglers driving on nearby Highway 92.

The video also includes multiple scenes recorded by cameras hidden alongside trails through the 14,000-acre ranch. It shows not only dozens of illegal immigrants hiking northward, but also a group of three drug smugglers carrying bundles wrapped in burlap. That is the method smugglers commonly use to move marijuana to points where they rendezvous with vehicles that carry the load northward. (These are different hidden cameras, in a different part of the border region, from last month’s “Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border,” (http://cis.org/Videos/HiddenCameras2).

The illegal activity continues despite the fence that marks the border at the southern edge of the Ladd ranch. The report makes the point that the fence isn’t much of an obstacle, especially when the Border Patrol is not around.

The video shows that one of the most active smuggling corridors lies just west of the Ladd Ranch, through the Huachuca Mountains. It features excerpts from an interview with an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was part of a group of 11 persons that hiked over the Huachucas in November. After descending into the outskirts of Sierra Vista, the group was met by two vehicles that took them a short distance before dropping them off south of a Border Patrol checkpoint. They then walked around the checkpoint, meeting vehicles farther north that took them to Tucson. The illegal immigrant paid $2,800 to be smuggled from the border to Maryland, where he is now working in two fast food restaurants.

Brandon Judd, president of the union that represents non-supervisory Border Patrol agents in the Tucson sector, also appears in the video. He talks about the Border Patrol’s lack of manpower to control the trails through the Huachucas and the flanks of the highway checkpoints.

The Center for Immigration Studies is an independent research institution
that examines the impact of immigration on the United States.

Yesterday (August 4), U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn Walker single-handedly overturned California’s Prop. 8, which elevated protection for one-man, one-woman marriage to its state constitution.

In doing so, he frustrated the will of seven million Californians who went to the polls to shape their state’s public policy on marriage.

Since marriage policy is not established anywhere in the federal Constitution, defining marriage, according to the 10th Amendment, is an issue reserved for the states. Judge Walker never should have accepted this case in the first place.

Under Judge Walker, it’s no longer “We the People,” it’s “I the Judge.”

In addition, Judge Walker is an open homosexual, and should have recused himself from this case due to his obvious conflict of interest.

[I happen to disagree with the AFA on this. The judge's orientation is beside the point. The problem is, judges were NOT set up to be like kings overruling the people! ~HSP]

What can be done?

Fortunately, the Founders provided checks and balances for every branch of government, including the judicial branch. Federal judges hold office only “during good Behaviour,” and if they violate that standard can be removed from the bench.

Judge Walker’s ruling is not “good Behaviour.” He has exceeded his constitutional authority and engaged in judicial tyranny.

Judges are not, in fact, unaccountable. They are accountable to Congress, which can remove them from office.

Impeachment proceedings, according to the Constitution, begin in the House of Representatives. It’s time for you to put your congressman on record regarding the possible impeachment of Judge Walker.

Take Action!

E-mail your representative today and urge him to launch impeachment proceedings against Judge Vaughn Walker for this outrageous ruling.

This year is the 100th anniversary of The Boy Scouts of America, a group that exemplifies many of the best aspects of our nation.

President Obama was scheduled to address the Boy Scouts Jamboree, an event held once every four years, today at 11:00 AM, as our last three Presidents have done.

Unfortunately, Barack Obama decided he’d rather speak with some of his friends in the liberal media. He’ll be recording an episode of The View in Manhattan this afternoon then attending two high-dollar fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee this evening.

Left to their own, the liberal media will focus on the human interest angle of the President going on The View; they’ll conveniently leave out the slighting of the Boy Scouts to campaign among the liberal elites in New York and the media.

Let CBS and NBC know that we expect them to cover this slight like they would if it were a Republican President.

Tomorrow’s evening news programs will feature stories about the President going on The View. If the MRC Action team makes their voices heard, NBC and CBS will have to tell the whole truth about President Obama’s appearance on daytime television!

“Hidden Cameras on the Arizona Border 2: Drugs, Guns, and 850 Illegal Aliens” is the Center for Immigration Studies’ second web-based film on the impact of illegal alien activity in Arizona.

This video raises questions about environmentalists’ focus on stopping a border fence, when endangered species and vegetation have already been proven to suffer significantly where no fence exists. Abandoned vehicles, drug drops, illegal groups trekking and camping, along with the human waste and the immense litter left behind, have destroyed fragile Arizona ecosystems. This illegal activity is ruining some of the most beautiful natural wilderness areas in America — but where is the uproar from the environmentalists???

Cut this out and place it on your refrigerator!!!
If there were ever anything worth putting on your refrigerator door to daily remind us of what we have to do come November, this is it…
1.. U..S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
2.. They voted to NOT give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
3.. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years
4.. You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
5.. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
6.. Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000
7.. Do you feel used?
8.. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., decrease?
9.. NO WAY.
Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits than you or I.
a.. Why should they care about you?
b.. You never did anything about it in the past.
c.. Charlie, Barney et al care about you?
Send the message to these individuals — “YOU’RE FIRED!”
In November 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!
That’s less than 5 months away!
Make sure you’re still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements not to screw-up.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.
Maybe it’s time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution:
“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.”
Let’s get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves! It’s time for retribution. Let’s take back America.

What happens when a nation violates the laws of God? In this powerful message, Dr. Stanley explains what happens when people govern themselves based on preference rather than the principles of God. Dr. Stanley tells us that we are in danger of losing our country to Socialism, and that in order to turn the tide we need to pray without ceasing for America to return to the Christian principles upon which it was founded.
