Hello Dear Ones,

I think the message contained in this video (attached) will give us all hope that nothing is impossible.  We watch Obama and Friends working desperately every day to think of new ways to take away our freedom and distort our Constitution and we tend to grow despondent.  But we can, with  determination and grit, defeat the evil ones once again. In order to do that, we have to go to long, boring meetings, educate ourselves about our rights, protest in the streets,  talk to our friends and relatives about unpleasant things such as politics and, most important of all, we have to donate our hard-earned money, before Obama can take it away from us, to good Conservative candidates in the November election.  I'm sure this is not a happy picture to most of you.  It's not even a happy picture to me. 

But I got a letter from one of you recently quoting a friend of his who said, and I paraphrase, that he felt fortunate that God had allowed him to live during this most important time in the life of his country.  I've been fortunate to be able to do a lot of unusual things during my life but, I feel that being active in this movement to preserve the freedoms the Founding Fathers gave us, is the most important thing I will ever do other than having my children.  I thank God for giving me the strength and passion to do it.  My very real reward is being a part of you.   Sometimes I go to bed so scared about our future but then I remember I don't have to do this all by myself,  I have you and a God who loves me and to believe in Him is to believe in miracles.

So watch this amazing video that Wil sent me and see for yourself what can be done with determination and training.  We not only can rescue our nation but we will.  I'll see you tonight at the Conservative Resource Center.

Love and Blessings.

Margie

President Obama's campaign promises are still reverberating in the recesses of our mind.
 
Remember the exhilaration, the applause, the fainting spells?  Americans from all walks of life, young and old, all colors and creed praised the man who was to become the first black president of the Free World.
 
18 months later, a budget deficit of $1.47 trillion, an $862 billion stimulus which failed to create jobs and close to 10% unemployment are crippling our free market economy with more heavy handed regulations and anti-business big government machinations.
 
Yet, Biden says "We stabilized the financial system".  Obama added "And if we continue to spend as if deficits don't matter, that means our kids and our grand-kids may wind up saddled with debts that they'll never be able to repay".
 
HUH?!
 
Comprehensive immigration reform/amnesty is also on the move to grant our priceless citizenship to law breakers in the name of fairness but suing the state of Arizona in the name of what constitution?
 
Today, those who once believed in Hope and Change have buyer's remorse and want their vote back.  In return, they are now labeled racists.
 
Come November they may get their vote and country back as well.

Dear Mr. Navarrette:

After reading your column, I would posit that it is the liberals who “don’t get it”, as you say.  It was not the conservatives or the Republicans who started boycotting.  It was liberals who had not bothered to even read the bill.  If you had, you would realize that it parallels Federal law and that the same thing is in the California penal code and the laws of many other states.  Poll after poll indicates that a majority of the American people support it, including many Hispanics.  The media and politicians belittle Hispanics by treating them as some voting block that can be manipulated.  The Democrats are still doing the same thing to African-Americans in this country.  You have only to read the latest headlines to see ample evidence of that.  When they cannot solve the real issues, they play the race card.

You seem to conclude that it’s okay for the liberals/Democrats to boycott but not the conservatives/Republicans.  That’s called a double standard.  Stop the hypocrisy!

Sincerely,

Valerie Jo Remley
