Barack Obama’s campaign has been quick to rip Mitt Romney for his association with Bain Capital, which outsourced certain jobs during restructuring of companies. There’s only one problem: many of the very executives who were running Bain Capital during the 1999-2002 period now under media scrutiny donated to Obama’s presidential campaign. And Obama was more than happy to cash the checks.
The same SEC form from February 2001 that lists Mitt Romney as “sole shareholder, sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President of Bain Capital … the controlling person of Bain Capital” also lists over a dozen other managing directors of Bain Capital, Inc. -- all of whom were undoubtedly more active than Romney was during this period. And President Obama took money from many of them.Take Joshua Bekenstein. Bekenstein has been a managing director of Bain Capital since 1986. In 2008, he signed Barack Obama a $4,600 check. In 2004, he gave a $50,000 donation to the Democratic National Committee. That’s outsourcing money, plain and simple. And Obama was happy to take it.
Or how about Stephen Pagliuca? Last year, he cut a $35,800 check to Barack Obama’s Victory Fund. Then he cut another $30,800 check to the DNC. And another $30,800 check to the DCCC. Jonathan Lavine and Mark Nunnelly have both maxed out to Obama already, as well as to the DNC. Lavin was a bundler for Obama, and raised over $100,000 for him. Michael Krupka gave Obama $4,600 in 2008.
As we’ve seen, the leftist media thinks it’s a disaster if a private citizen, Mitt Romney, made money from an investment company that outsourced jobs to save companies. But the leftist media seems perfectly comfortable with Barack Obama cashing checks from the executives who actually made the decisions to outsource.
The truth is that there’s nothing wrong with a private company outsourcing. Democrats know it. Republicans know it. Everybody knows it. But the Obama campaign is hypocritically pointing to Romney’s pocketbook while zealously guarding its own. Apparently, it's fine to outsource so long as the name on the contribution check reads "Barack Obama."
NANCY PELOSI MADE $1-5 MILLION FROM COMPANY THAT OUTSOURCED JOBS TO ASIA

The Democrats' hypocrisy on outsourcing continues. As they attack Mitt Romney for being an outsourcer, it was revealed that President Barack Obama sent stimulus money -- U.S. taxpayer dollars -- overseas, and the Republican National Committee (RNC) called him out on it yesterday.
Now, it seems like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has benefited from companies that outsource jobs to Asia to the tune of between $1 million to $5 million.According to The Daily Caller:
According to Pelosi’s 2011 financial disclosure statement, the Democratic House Minority Leader received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from ”Matthews International Capital Management LLC,” a group that emphasizes that it has a “A Singular Focus on Investing in Asia.” A quick trip to the company website reveals a featured post extolling the virtues of outsourcing.
According to the same report, "Pelosi is also a small investor in the embattled “Moduslink Global,” one of the “outsourcing pioneers” that Mitt Romney has been criticized for associating with while at Bain Capital."
This is yet another example of Democrats saying one thing while their actions reveal another.

Our Disgraceful President

Warren G. Harding was corrupt, as was Richard M. Nixon. Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy were like blind golfers, looking for a hole, any hole, every hole. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt were power-mad narcissists convinced they knew best how everyone else should live. Jimmy Carter was clueless. But as we approach the 100-year anniversary of the first of these men to serve as president, all have been lapped in debasing their office by its current occupant: Barack Obama.It is understandable President Obama would not want to run on his record. Who would? “Give me four more years so I can make up for the first four” is not the stuff of campaign slogan greatness.
But even that wouldn’t work because, as he told CBS News this week, “The mistake of my first term - couple of years - was thinking this job was just about getting the policy right. And that's important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times.” In other words, his only flaw is he’s too damn close to perfect.
It’s like someone bragging about being the most humble person on the planet.
The president of the United States thinks he needs to tell us stories to give us “a sense of unity, purpose and optimism…”
This struck me as odd because a.) he’s already told us stories, the story of his life, in – count ‘em – two autobiographies written before he accomplished anything, and b.) he’s made zero effort to bring people together at any point in his presidency.
Putting aside his autobiographies, which should be moved to the fiction section of the bookstore considering the 38 provable falsehoods uncovered in them – remember the uproar when James Frey’s A Million Tiny Pieces turned out to have exaggerations and lies? Obama does it; crickets – the fact this man would feel comfortable enough to speak the word “unity” without laughing is a testament to just how far we’ve fallen as a nation.
Barack Obama has done nothing but try to turn American against American based on income and accomplishment. He’s done nothing but sit silently by, smirking, while his defenders, allies, surrogates and staff have called Americans who disagree with him racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes, rednecks, idiots, Uncle Toms and anything else you can call someone when you can’t rebut what they say with facts or accomplishments.
Silence while disgraceful words are spoken on your behalf is just as disgraceful as uttering them yourself, which, of course, makes Barack Obama a disgraceful president.
When his attorney general isn’t dodging subpoenas and being held in contempt by Congress, he’s calling anyone who thinks we should have to present a photo ID to vote a klansman. MSNBC, a network that seems to exist only to parrot the president’s line, unsurprisingly gets praised by the White House. This is unity?
The White House has to use and condone this because the alternative is reality, and reality is not Barack Obama’s friend.
The president decided, against the express language in the law itself, he could unilaterally remove the work requirement from President Clinton’s welfare reform law. There is no precedent or legal justification for this action, but to question it is to be anti-poor.
Putting aside the unconstitutional nature of all this, it remains a mystery how it could be anti-poor to support a law that provably improves the lives of poor Americans, gives them their best shot at autonomy and helps move them get out and stay out of poverty. But the charge gets made, the grenade gets thrown, and the person doing it gets an invite to the next Georgetown cocktail party or White House concert.
The administration of Barack Obama embodies the worst characteristics of the worst Presidents in our history – the abuse of power, the incompetence, the laziness, the bigotry, the disinterest, the dishonesty, the arrogance. The reason he’s still personally popular is the same reason we know the names Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Perez Hilton or that TMZ exists – A large portion of our culture now celebrates what it used to shun, cheers that which used to drive people into hiding and rewards existence over accomplishment.
That’s why the media parrots and trumpets attacks on Mitt Romney’s incredibly successful private-sector record but ignores President Obama’s public-sector failures. How people can question what Romney does with his own money but ignore Obama wasting literally trillions of ours is disgraceful. That President Obama would sanction the charge is worse.
Rush Limbaugh is correct when he calls President Obama “President Kardashian.” Only we’re on the receiving end of what Kim Kardashian became famous for. To paraphrase Andy Warhol, in the future we’ll all have our own reality show for 15 minutes. Unfortunately the ratings will suck and it will serve only as a perch from which to watch the economy collapse. We can call it “Disgraceful.”
November could not be more important, and it cannot come quickly enough.

ADD ANOTHER BODY TO THE PILE OF DEAD GAY LOVERS MYSTERIOUSLY DYING TO OBAMA’S SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET....
Who Is Dead Obama Staffer Alex Okrent?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?JULY 15, 2012 BY KRIS ZANE 24 COMMENTS
A huge story on July 13 was the death of Obama campaign staffer Alex Okrent. Apparently, he had been at Obama’s campaign headquarters in Chicago, fine one minute, dead the next. Witnesses say he collapsed, whereby paramedics were called, and the next thing everyone knows, he’s dead.
Young, twenty-nine years old? Mysteriously dies?
Nothing to see here, move on…
Except…
Per the Obama campaign, Okrent had been a staffer going all the way back to Obama’s 2004 U.S. senate campaign—being on staff for eight years. That’s a long time.
The guy must have a lot of history. A lot of stories to tell.
Except…
Do a Google search. You will find that the guy literally does not exist. Except for the story about his death, the guy does not appear anywhere. Even if he wasn’t an Obama campaign staffer, anyone who has googled their own name knows everyone that walks the face of this Earth who has not lived in a cave all of their lives will be all over the Internet.
His existence wiped clean?
Oddly, his Twitter account is still active. While his timeline shows him to be an Obama supporter, nothing, going all the way back to 2009, indicates he was an Obama staffer.
His does appear to be a gay marriage supporter, and while his timeline does not indicate he is gay, one photo dug up in an archived Twitter post seems to indicate he was gay. Also, the last thing he tweeted was a suggestion to go to a popular Chicago bar frequented by lesbians and gays.
Another Obama gay connection?
Perhaps.
Perhaps nothing to see here. Perhaps it is another right-wing conspiracy theory.
Of course, we were told that calling the birth certificate a forgery was a conspiracy theory, and that turned out to be true…

SUPREMES ASKED: WHO IS 'NATURAL BORN CITIZEN?'

An announcement is expected sometime in the fall on whether the U.S. Supreme Court will decide just exactly who is a “natural born citizen” as required by the U.S. Constitution for all those who would be president.
Officials with the Liberty Legal Foundation confirmed they have filed an appeal of the ruling from the state Supreme Court in Georgia, and a decision by the nation’s highest court on whether it will accept the case is expected over the coming months.
It raises two questions, including whether states can be forced to accept any candidate from a political party for presentation on state ballots even when the candidates do not meet the required qualifications.
The other is the key, “Are all individuals born on U.S. soil Article II ‘natural born citizens,’ regardless of the citizenship of their parents?”
According to a statement from Van Irion, chief of Liberty Legal, the case that stems from a Georgia dispute “is the first to present the U.S. Supreme Court with a substantive ruling on the definition of natural born citizen under the Constitution.”
“All other cases to reach the Supreme Court on this issue had been dismissed on purely procedural grounds. Liberty Legal Foundation’s case is an appeal from the Georgia courts’ substantive ruling,” he explained. “The Georgia courts refused to dismiss our case based upon procedural grounds. The Georgia courts reached the substantive issue, what is a natural born citizen.
“They ruled incorrectly, but that ruling does allow us to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to address the definition of natural born citizen, instead of simply addressing a procedural issue,” the explanation said.
“Now the U.S. Supreme Court has an opportunity to address the definition of natural born citizen, our substantive issue.”
“The petitioners’ challenge in Georgia state court was based upon an uncontested fact: that the respondent’s father was not a U.S. citizen; and upon the legal conclusion that a person must have two U.S. citizen parents to be a natural born citizen under Article II of the U.S. Constitution,” the brief to the high court explains. “The Georgia Office of State Administrative Hearings and Secretary of State ruled that any person born on U.S. soil is a ‘natural born citizen’ as that term is use[d] in Article II of the U.S. Constitution, regardless of the citizenship of the person’s parents.”
But the brief argues that conclusion turns states’ rights on their head, because it would allow a political party to demand anyone be on a state election ballot, regardless of what the election code might require.
In Georgia, the law requires, “Every candidate for federal and state office … shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.”
But the state’s ability to require candidates be qualified is separate from the right of political parties to choose their own candidates, the case argues.
“The right to associate easily coexists with the state’s right to determine the manner of choosing its presidential electors,” the brief argues. “Georgia code does not interfere with the autonomy of any political party’s internal decision making because it does not prohibit the parties from submitting any name…
“The political parties are free to submit Saddam Hussein or Mickey Mouse… However, Georgia is not required to accept such submissions and waste taxpayer money on ballots for such candidates.”
Under the state rulings, “the political parties could choose to list former Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton as candidates for the presidential primary, despite the fact that both President Bush and President Clinton are disqualified to run for that office gain by the 22nd Amendment. … Upon such listing the state of Georgia would have no choice but to place these candidates’ names on its ballots.”
The brief also argues the key question about just exactly who is a “natural born citizen,” which not only could impact the Obama campaign but undoubtedly campaigns of future candidates.
The state decision did not follow the U.S. Supreme Court’s “Minor” definition of natural-born citizen, which is “binding precedent because the court’s definition was necessary to reach its holding. … Unless and until this court revisits this issue, the Minor court’s definition is binding.”
That ruling said a “natural born citizen” was the product of two citizen parents, under which Obama would be disqualified because of his father’s status as a foreign national visiting the U.S. as a student.
The high court in Minor said, “It was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”
The case was brought on behalf of David Welden, Carl Swensson and Kevin Richard Powell. Handling it are Irion of Liberty Legal Foundation and Mark Hatfield of Waycross, Ga.
Officials with the Article 2 SuperPAC, who have been involved the case, said it originated when the plaintiffs challenged Obama’s candidacy on the ballot before Michael Malihi, an administrative judge who decided without evidence from Obama or his lawyer that he was eligible for the office and his name could appear on the Georgia ballot in 2012.
At the hearing level, Malihi simply threw out all of the evidence and ruled in favor of Obama, who, along with his lawyer, snubbed the hearing and refused to appear at all.
An intermediate court followed suit. Then the state Supreme Court dodged the question.
The plaintiffs had argued before Malihi regarding Obama’s alleged failure to qualify as a “natural-born citizen” as required by the U.S. Constitution for presidents. Obama has admitted in his writings his father never was a U.S. citizen, and attorneys argued that the understanding of the Founders, and a subsequent Supreme Court ruling, defines natural-born citizen as the offspring of two citizens of the country at the time of the birth.
Malihi had been charged with responding to the complaints brought over Obama’s candidacy under a state law that requires “every candidate for federal” office who is certified by the state executive committees of a political party or who files a notice of candidacy “shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.”
Of all the eligibility cases to be submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, the justices have refused to consider any.
In fact, one justice admitted the court is “avoiding” the Obama issue. Justice Clarence Thomas appeared before a U.S. House subcommittee when the issue arose.
Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., raised the issue amid a discussion on racial diversity in the judiciary.
“I’m still waiting for the [court decision] on whether or not a Puerto Rican can run for president of the United States,” said Serrano, who was born in the island territory. “That’s another issue.”
Yet after Serrano questioned him on whether or not the land’s highest court would be well-served by a justice who had never been a judge, Thomas not only answered in the affirmative but also hinted that Serrano would be better off seeking a seat in the Supreme Court than a chair in the Oval Office.
“I’m glad to hear that you don’t think there has to be a judge on the court,” said Serrano, “because I’m not a judge; I’ve never been a judge.”
“And you don’t have to be born in the United States,” said Thomas, referring to the Constitution, which requires the president to be a natural-born citizen but has no such requirement for a Supreme Court justice, “so you never have to answer that question.”
“Oh really?” asked Serrano. “So you haven’t answered the one about whether I can serve as president, but you answer this one?”
“We’re evading that one,” answered Thomas, referring to questions of presidential eligibility and prompting laughter in the chamber. “We’re giving you another option.”

2,200 HUNDRED PAGES OF NEW EVIDENCE OF RAMPANT ELECTIONS FRAUD RECEIVED FROM A FORMER NATO RELATIONAL DATA EXPERT
Posted on | July 13, 2012 | 14 Comments
order on ex-parte
Obama machine is pulling their usual spin and claiming that my CA case was dismissed. This is an absolute lie. Only one immediate motion was denied.
We had an ex-parte hearing. ex-parte requires more evidence, as it seeks immediate stay of the certification of elections and it is done without formal notice. It represents a very high threshold.
However, I got a 2,200 hundred pages of the new evidence dump,which came from a former NATO relational database expert with the top security clearance, showing over half a million illegal votes in Los Angeles county alone, which is only one in 58 counties in CA.
This evidence will put California into play for Romney. California is the biggest prize of them all with55 electoral votes. Ex parte hearing is just the beginning of a large multifaceted case. Just as Obama machine lied about my dental license, my law license and just about everything else, they are brainwashing people and even judges about the evidence and forgery in Obama’s papers and about elections fraud.
During the hearings I was shocked to see how uninformed the judges are. Judge Sanders and Judge Luciebrink thought that Obama’s eligibility was already decided on the merits as all they know is what they read in the regime media. They were absolutely clueless about the fact that all the law suits so far were dismissed on technicalities and on standing. They were absolutely clueless about the fact that no judge and no court ever saw Obama’s original papers and that no court ever decided that Obama has a valid Social Security number, no judge ruled that Obama has a valid birth certificate or valid Selective Service certificate.
When I am in court I feel like Galileo or Copernicus before inquisition telling the the ones who judge them “Don’t be the creatures of dark ages, open your minds to the truth and evidence and logic. The earth is round and it revolves around the sun. Judges, you are there to look at the evidence: Obama is a criminal with all forged papers, our voter rolls are full to the brink with bogus voter registrations. No matter how many thugs pull their spins, the Earth is still round and it still rotates around the sun . That is the truth. Obama is still a criminal and a Chicago thug with all forged papers. You judges will be judged sooner or later for what you are doing.
We will not win the battle with theories alone. Obama will not be thrown out of office on definition of natural born. This is not going to happen. Nixon was thrown out of office based on a criminal act. Capone was sent to prison for a crime. We have to keep pounding where it really hurts: forged papers, rigged elections, demand jury trial. We have strong evidence of forgery for which anyone else will be in prison. We have to push the evidence, we have to hold the bureaucrats and judges accountable for what they are doing. You have to spread the word. Please, go to any and all meetings with judges, candidates, media. Demand answers and actions. Demand that they stop denying our right to send this case to the jury of our peers, we need this ultimate elections fraud case heard on the merits. Orange County is one of the most conservative counties in California. We have very conservative juries. I need to make sure that the judges let me bring the case to the jury. Spread the word, help me bring it to the jury.

Obama campaign’s goal is to confuse Americans with Bain attacks
153
For months the Obama 2012 campaign has been leveling attacks on Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney based on false reports about his time at Bain Capital.Neutral fact-checkers from a variety of major news organizations have repeatedly debunked these claims, but the Obama campaign hasn’t seemed to notice.
The latest incarnation of the Bain Capital verbal assaultsfocus on whether Mitt Romney may have been involved with Bain Capital after 1999. Despite the extensive paper evidence that Romney left to manage the Olympics in 1999 and corroboration from most of the people working for Bain Capital at the time, the Obama campaign continues to pursue this line of attack.
The truth is simple. Romney left Bain Capital in 1999 to run the Olympics. Romney had zero involvement with day to day operations after 1999, but because of SEC requirements his name remained on certain documents for several years. This reality is backed up by overwhelming evidence and testimony. So the question becomes why exactly does the Obama campaign continue making these accusations?
Today we received the answer to that question.
Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter accidentally revealed the campaign’s strategy this morning on CBS’ Face the Nation.
“What American understands that you don’t bear any responsibility for the decisions that were made at that company if you’re at the head of it?” Cutter told the show’s host Bob Schieffer.
Ignoring the irony of this statement coming from a surrogate of a President who has blamed everything fromATM’s to bad weather for economic failures during his presidency, Cutter is making clear that the Obama campaign is assuming that Americans won’t understand that simply being listed as CEO on some documents is not the equivalent to actually participating in the company.
Either the Obama campaign is clueless about how such companies operate, or they are knowingly being dishonest to confuse the American people. The likely scenario is that the Obama 2012 campaign is counting on Americans getting confused by the details of their attacks.
It is understandable that President Obama would not want to focus on an economic record that includes 41 straight months of unemployment at above 8 percent, but that does not excuse the type of deceitful campaign he is now running. Politics is a rough profession, but that doesn’t mean known falsehoods and baseless conspiracy theories should be fair game for a presidential campaign – especially from a sitting President.
The candidate that ran on ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’ in 2008 is now running an entire campaign based on attacks and distortions. This isn’t what the American people thought they were signing up for when they electing Barack Obama in 2008. We deserve better.

Chalk up another FAIL for the mainstream media. They are ravenously chasing the non-story of Mitt Romney’s tax filings like a hungry young Obama with fork in hand after a plump puppy, while completely ignoring that Obama’s Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is known for cheating on his taxes, and blaming it on Turbotax.
How much do conservatives love calling out the “most transparent administration” ever on its hypocrisy? Let us count the ways:

Romney’s Bain Years: New Evidence, Same Conclusion
Posted on July 12, 2012 , Updated on July 13, 2012
New reporting cites strong evidence that Mitt Romney wasn’t actively managing Bain Capital while he was running the Olympics, despite what the Obama campaign (and some news reports) would have voters believe.
Dan Primack, a senior editor at Fortune Magazine, reports on previously confidential “offering documents” that Bain circulated to potential investors in June 2000, September 2000 and again in January 2001. And he says that in each of those three documents Romney’s name is conspicuously absent from lists of senior investment managers at Bain.
Dan Primack, July 12: [T]he contemporaneous Bain documents show that Romney was indeed telling the truth about no longer having operational input at Bain…
This has become a key point of contention, because Obama TV ads accuse Romney of shipping U.S. jobs overseas. We reported that the Obama campaign had failed to back up its claims (“Obama’s ‘Outsourcer’ Overreach,” June 29), partly because Romney had left Bain in February 1999 to run the 2002 Winter Olympic and wasn’t actively in charge of the company at the time.
But the Obama campaign objected, claiming that Romney remained a part-time manager even while he was living in Utah and running the Olympics. We responded, finding the campaign’s evidence “weak or non-existent.”
Since then some other reporters have weighed in on Obama’s side. Articles in Mother Jones magazine and the Talking Points Memo website, and most recently a front-page Boston Globe story on July 12, all cite documents filed by Bain with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The TPM piece noted that in documents from July 2000 and February 2001 Romney listed his “principal occupation” as “Managing Director” of Bain, for example. And the Globe story reported that Bain repeatedly listed him on government filings as the man in charge.
On a media conference call about the Globe story, Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager, said the story proves that Romney had “full control” of Bain during this time and “therefore directly responsible” for decisions made at companies in which Bain invested. “Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony. Or he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments,” Cutter said.
But we see little new in any of these SEC filings, and a University of Pennsylvania Law School professor we spoke to sees no basis for the Obama campaign’s claim that Romney committed a felony.
None of the SEC filings show that Romney was anything but a passive, absentee owner during that time, as both Romney and Bain have long said. It should not surprise anyone that Romney retained certain titles while he was working out the final disposition of his ownership, for example. We see nothing to contradict the statement that a Bain spokesman issued in response to the Globe article:
Bain Capital, July 12: Due to the sudden nature of Mr. Romney’s departure, he remained the sole stockholder for a time while formal ownership was being documented and transferred to the group of partners who took over management of the firm in 1999. Accordingly, Mr. Romney was reported in various capacities on SEC filings during this period.
Jill E. Fisch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and co-director of the Institute for Law and Economics, said Romney would not have committed a felony by listing himself as managing director — even if he now claims he had no role in running the company after February 1999. There is no legal obligation to describe how active one is in the day-to-day management of the company, she said. And just because he held title of managing director doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s responsible for decisions like layoffs or outsourcing.
“If that really mattered to investors, they might consider that a civil liability, but we wouldn’t be talking about a felony,” she said.
We would reassess our judgment should somebody come up with evidence that Romney took part in specific management decisions or had any active role (not just a title) at Bain after he left to head the Olympics. But nothing we’ve seen directly contradicts Romney’s statements — which he has certified as true under pain of federal prosecution — that he “has not had any active role” with Bain or “been involved in the operations” of Bain since then.
And we wish to note, we’re not alone in this judgement. Others include:
- Fortune’s Dan Primack — who covers Wall Street “deals and dealmakers” — addressed the Mother Jones reporting in a July 2 article that came to the same conclusion we do. Primack’s more recent reporting we’ve already noted.
- The Washington Post‘s Fact Checker, Glenn Kessler, rebutted the Boston Globe story in a July 12 piece. “Just because you are listed as an owner of shares does not mean you have a managerial role,” Kessler writes. We agree.
- Before the Globe story broke, the Columbia Journalism Review’s Brendan Nyhan stated: “[T]he specific cases cited by the Obama campaign largely concern actions taken by those companies during a period in which Romney was not making operational decisions at the firm. Journalists must be clear about this distinction.” After the Globe story, CJR’s Greg Marx wrote “there’s less new in the Globe article than the attention it has drawn suggests.”
- ABC News’ Devin Dwyer reported July 12, after the Globe‘s story appeared: “Team Obama does not provide any specific evidence to back up claims that Romney was actively managing Bain between 1999 and 2002.”
Dishonest Campaigns
The Romney campaign cited our work in a recent ad to accuse President Obama of running a “dishonest campaign.” The term “dishonest” is theirs, not ours, however. And we make no judgments about the personal character of either candidate, or their campaigns.
And we’ll just note for the record that FactCheck.org has also found numerous instances in which Romney has also strayed from the facts in accusations against Obama. He also claimed that he created 100,000 jobs at Bain Capital — a claim we found lacked support because it took credit for jobs added by companies long after Romney had left the Bain.
But that’s no excuse for the Obama campaign trying to saddle Romney with responsibility for decisions Bain made while Romney was somewhere else.
Update, July 13: The Post’s Kessler awarded three of his “Pinocchios” to the Obama camp’s claim that SEC filings show Romney might be guilty of a felony.
Kessler notes (among other things) that Romney’s time at the Olympics was the subject of hearings before the Massachusetts Ballot Law Commission in 2002, when Democrats sought and failed to disqualify Romney as a candidate for governor on grounds that he had been living in Utah.
After holding hearings for three days, during which Romney testified, the bipartisan ballot panel unanimously adopted “findings of fact” that said Romney was employed in Massachusetts “until 1999” when he left for Utah.
Ballot Law Commission, June 25, 2002: On or about February 11, 1999, the Respondent [Romney] became an employee of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for a fixed term of three years. While so employed, the Respondent worked, on average, over 12 hours per day, 6 days per week.
During this time Romney remained on the boards of Staples and another company in which Bain had invested, LifeLike Co., a company that made dolls. As evidence of his continued ties to Massachusetts, the report states that Romney “returned to Massachusetts from Utah to attend meetings at Staples.” But there’s no mention of Romney attending any business meetings at Bain itself or any of Bain’s investment funds.
We note for the record our disagreement with a July 12 Huffington Post report, which cites Romney’s membership on the LifeLike board as evidence that his claim to have had no active involvement with Bain or any Bain entity is “false.” No so, in our judgment.
We think the term “Bain Capital entity” on Romney’s disclosure forms could only refer to Bain’s various investment funds, not to companies in which it invested. And in the three days that Romney sought to document his continued ties to Massachusetts, so he could run for governor, he made no mention of attending any meetings at Bain itself or any of the various Bain partnerships.
LifeLike was one of Bain’s smaller investments, and a failure. A Jan. 9 Wall Street Journal report says that in 1996 Bain had invested $2.1 million in the privately held Colorado firm for a stake of “unknown size,” but sold those shares in late 2001 for $15,000. The company was later liquidated, the Journal reported.
On the broader question of Romney’s involvement with Bain during this time, we concur with Kessler’s conclusion. “The Obama campaign is blowing smoke here,” he says, adding “the weight of evidence suggests that Romney did in fact end active management of Bain in 1999.”

Sen. Portman: Obama ‘doubling down’ on his failed jobs policies
By Meghashyam Mali - 07/14/12 06:15 AM ET
Republican Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio) blasted President Obama, accusing him of breaking his promises to boost the struggling economy and “doubling down” on his policy mistakes.
Portman, who is considered a favorite to be GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s running mate, dismissed Obama’s approach to the economy as “more spending, more regulation, and higher taxes,” as he delivered the weekly Republican address.
“This week, 13 million Americans won’t go to work, not because they’re on vacation, but because they can’t find jobs. As a candidate, Barack Obama promised to help these Americans find work,” said Portman.
“We gave him the ability to turn things around. And three years later, the results are in: Unemployment is over 8 percent for the longest period since the Great Depression. And it’s actually higher than that because so many Americans are so discouraged—they’ve stopped looking for work,” he continued.
Portman charged Obama with placing jobs on the back-burner while he pursued his signature domestic achievement, healthcare reform, and passing an ineffective stimulus package early in his administration.
“Instead of focusing on growing jobs and reigniting our economy, President Obama focused on growing government and tried to remake the United States into the image of the debt-laden countries of Europe,” said Portman.
“You don’t hear much from the President anymore about the two biggest initiatives of his time in office. One was passing the so-called stimulus bill. He and his economic team promised that spending almost $1 trillion of taxpayer money would get unemployment down to 5.6 percent by today. Instead, it’s 46 percent higher. Measured by their own standards, his policies have failed us,” he said.
“The other initiative was pushing through the unaffordable health care spending law, which will grow the government by $2.6 trillion, and do something President Obama promised he would never do: hit millions of middle class Americans with a massive tax increase.”
Republicans have used the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding much of Obama’s Affordable Care aAct healthcare reform bill as constitutional under Congress’s taxing powers to argue that the law is a massive tax increase on middle class families.
“Based on this record, you’d think that President Obama would’ve learned from his mistakes. Instead he seems to be doubling down,” Portman continued.
Portman’s address comes as the White House and Congress intensify their fight over extending the Bush era-tax rates which are set to expire at the end of the year. Neither the president nor lawmakers want voters to be hit with a tax increase on Jan. 1, but Republicans have rebuffed Obama’s calls to extend the lower rates for those making below $250,000 a year, while forcing those above that threshold to pay more.
Obama has launched an effort this week to pressure lawmakers on extending only the Bush-rates for those below his $250,000 threshold, holding a White House event with taxpayers he said would be hit hard by the impending tax rise and taking his message to voters in Iowa and Virginia.
In his weekly address, Obama called GOP efforts to force an extension of all rates for one year “more top-down economics.”
Portman, though, touted the GOP’s own economic prescriptions, saying lawmakers hoped to see a comprehensive tax overhaul and “reform our complex, outdated tax code by eliminating loopholes, lowering tax rates, and rewarding hard work, innovation, and job creation.”
Portman also called on his colleagues to help “lift the regulatory burdens that small businesses say are the single greatest threat from Washington today.”
“The government-knows-best approach of the past few years has given us the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression,” Portman said.

ALEC Shakedown Shows Danger of DISCLOSE
20122 COMMENTSWRITTEN BY PHIL KERPENWith Senate Democrats again pushing legislation to require forced donor disclosure by non-profit organizations, it’s more important than ever to understand the campaign of intimidation being conducted against the only significant public policy organization — on the left or right — that has disclosed a large number of donors. It’s the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and as I’ve previously written, the campaign against ALEC shows what the DISCLOSE Act is really about.
American Commitment has obtained a copy of a letter that was sent by Color of Change, the racial grievance group founded by self-proclaimed communist and disgraced former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones, that was been sent to at least 40 companies who are publicly disclosed ALEC sponsors. The letter, included below in its entirety, can only be described as a shakedown. It includes links to produced radio spots attacking the target companies and tying them to the Trayvon Martin tragedy. This is being deployed as an excuse to shut up a key free market voice. One organizer admitted it, saying: “The Trayvon Martin thing was like a gift.”
As the Supreme Court recognized in the landmark 1958 case NAACP v. Alabama, membership organizations have a right to protect the privacy of their supporters so that those supporters can engage in political speech without fear of retribution. The DISCLOSE Act violates that principle and is therefore both unconstitutional and profoundly anti-speech, especially in light of how ALEC is being treated. The same left-wing activists pushing the DISCLOSE Act are not praising ALEC for its voluntary disclosure, but pouncing on it as a weakness and using it to silence their political opponents.
You can sign our petition to fight back. And you should urge your senators to vote NO on the DISCLOSE Act at 202-224-3121.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has raised a furor over the fact that the uniforms for the US Olympic Team are made in China. Which is to say: outsourced.
Who designed these uniforms? Who actually did the outsourcing of these Olympic uniforms here?
That would be the famous American designer Ralph Lauren. Who has a habit of outsourcing his clothes to places like China, Sri Lanka and El Salvador.
Uh-oh.
That would be the same Ralph Lauren who, according to the Federal Elections Commission, on May 7, 2012 — barely two months ago — contributed $35,800 to the Obama Victory Fund 2012.
And the same Ralph Lauren who on May 31, 2012 donated $30,800 to the DNC Services Corporation of the Democratic National Committee. Not to mention $5,000 to the same group in $2009. And $2,300 he gave to the same group in 2008.
In the case of Lauren’s contributions to the DNC in 2009 and 2008? Where was that money going?…

THE REAL HOSTAGE TAKERS: DEMOCRATS THREATEN TAXMAGEDDON FOR ALL UNLESS RICH PAY MORE

Email Article
Print ArticleSend a Tip
A year ago, President Barack Obama called Republicans "hostage takers" for staying true to their mandate and refusing to agree to tax hikes as part of the debt ceiling deal. Now, the Washington Post reports that Democrats are explicitly threatening to allow "nearly $600 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts"--otherwise known as "Taxmageddon"--in January unless Republicans agree to raise taxes on the highest earners. It's the clearest sign of which party is, in fact, the most extreme--and the most willing to put party ahead of country.
"Taxmageddon" marks the expiration date of the Bush tax cuts, as well as the end of the payroll tax holiday. It is so dramatic that it risks plunging the economy definitively back into deep recession. Democrats, including the president, have campaigned against the Bush tax cuts for more than a decade, but have never had the political will--not even with full control of both houses of Congress and the White House--to repeal them. They settled for letting the tax cuts expire for "the rich" alone, but could not agree on the definition of "rich," with President Obama targeting households earning more than $250,000, and Senate Democrats pushing for $1 million.Now, with the presidential election looming, and President Obama insisting on his $250,000 definition, Senate Democrats have relented--though not to the extent of allowing an actual vote on the proposal. The proposal would not raise anywhere near enough money to cover the budget deficit in a single year. And though the president once warned against raising taxes on anyone during economic hard times, he is using his class warfare tactics to propel his lackluster campaign.
Last year, when Democrats began using terms like "hostage takers" and "terrorists" to describe the new Tea Party and the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, the media gave them a pass--despite the obvious violation of the new "civility" for which President Obama had called at the beginning of 2011. Today, it is absolutely clear who is holding the country hostage--and why.
YEAH, HARRY REID IS PERHAPS ONE THE WORST SENATORS, EVER !!!!

Given all of the felonious associations Obama has in both his personal life, as well as his own outright lawlessness in his governance & the several scandals occuring throughout his travesty of a political career while desecrating our Government & Country, I find this Frauds raising the question of Romney having committed a felony (for whatever reason) laughable! This unqualified Chicago thug facilitates the insurgence of members of the M u s l im Brotherhood into our own Government under the bogus claims of declaring them to be "Advisors" (yeah, right!), granting them access to critical & sensitive National Security information as well as now allowing them to dictate policy to various Federal & State Law Enforcement Agencies. Emboldening & empowering our sworn enemies as he continually gives the finger to our allies in Israel! Then we have Obama & his she-male Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, lying through their teeth to our collective faces regarding our porous borders as being the most secure they've ever been according to them (50 thousand plus Mexican drug cartel related murders in & along those borders not withstanding I guess), while I've seen numerous reports from News organizations along the areas of those borders , detailing undisputable evidence showing how several hundreds of apparent radical Islamic terrorists have crossed over those so secure borders & whose whereabouts are now presently unknown in our own Nation! And lets not forget either how Obama actually ceeded areas of American sovereignty over to these murderous invaders while his own U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, was supplying high powered weapons to those animals, in order to help Obama advance a covert political strategy to undermine Americans 2nd Amendment Right to possess firearms! I mean this list of indictments against Obama treasonous sedition could go on & on, but I think you get the point! In my opinion, the real felon resides in our own White House, & just because so many are seemingly either too Chicken$hit or else too complicit in this Fraud being perpetrated against the United States & the American people, to stand up & call this Traitor a Traitor still doesn't mean it isn't true! The same can be said also of his Stormtroopers in the Traitorstream liberal media! Those sycophantic disgraces have descended beyond having any semblance of journalistic ethics, integrity, or legitimacy as far as I'm concerned, & whatever ridiculous credibility they afford themselves is just another definition of morbid absurdity on parade in this backwards debacle that has become the Obama Presidency!

Florida to use federal database to challenge legitimacy of voters
By Chelsea J. Carter, CNNupdated 7:48 AM EDT, Sun July 15, 2012
A number of states are moving to institute and tighten voter identification laws.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: The SAVE database contains alien registration numbers
- Florida election officials sued to gain access to a federal law enforcement database
- Florida wants to purge non-citizens from its voter rolls
- Florida officials want to use the database to challenge voter eligibility
(CNN) -- Florida election officials will have access to a federal law enforcement database to challenge the eligibility of a person to vote as part of its effort to purge non-citizens from its voting rolls, state officials said.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will allow state officials access to the SAVE -- Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements -- database in an agreement that was announced Saturday by Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner and the Florida Department of State.
The announcement follows weeks of legal wrangling between the federal and state officials, a fight being closely watched in Colorado, Nevada, Michigan and North Carolina -- states that could ultimately swing November's presidential election -- where officials are advocating for similar access.
"Florida voters are counting on their state and federal governments to cooperate in a way that ensures elections are fair, beginning with ensuring the voter rolls are current and accurate," Detzner said in a statement.
"Now, we have a commitment to cooperate from DHS and we look forward to a partnership that improves our election process."
Details of the agreement were not immediately available, and it was not clear when Florida would begin checking its voter rolls against the database, which lists those who are legally in the United States on either visas or "green cards" but not eligible to vote. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond late Saturday to a CNN request for comment.
The SAVE database, which contains alien registration numbers, is a web-based service that was created to help "federal, state and local benefit-issuing agencies, institutions, and licensing bureaus determine the immigration status of benefit applicants so only those entitled to benefits receive them," according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Florida officials sued last month to gain access to the database after an effort this year to purge the state voting rolls -- using driver licenses and birth dates -- went awry because of faulty state records.
A Florida Department of State spokesman, Chris Cate, told CNN in June that the state identified roughly 100 people who are not citizens but registered to vote. CNN found, though, that some of the names on the potential purge list were, in fact, legitimate voters -- newly minted Americans recently granted citizenship.
DHS and Florida struck a deal over the database just weeks after a federal judge rejected a U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit aimed at preventing Florida from moving forward with a voter registration purge.
Proponents of the plan say purging the rolls protects the integrity of the voting process, while critics say it targets the poor and minority voters who may be disenfranchised by the process. The poor, voting and civil rights groups say, can not afford to pay for documentation that may be required, while minorities would likely be among the groups whose voter registration records are examined.
A number of states are moving to institute and tighten voter identification laws, and many are finding themselves in direct conflict with the federal government. A key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 grants the federal government open-ended oversight of states and localities -- many in the South -- with a history of voter discrimination. Any changes in voting laws and procedures in those pre-determined areas must be "pre-cleared" by Washington.
Today, 32 states have in place varying degrees of voter identification laws, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Some of the states with the most stringent requirements are also regions that have seen large increases in their minority population. Florida has the nation's third largest Hispanic population, behind Texas and California.

Obama Illinois bar application fraud, Obama lied about drug use other names and tickets, Andy Martin complaint letter to IL Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission
Posted on April 9, 2012 | 94 CommentsObama Illinois bar application fraud, Obama lied about drug use other names and tickets, Andy Martin complaint letter to IL Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission
“Why did Barack Obama surrender his IL law license?”…Citizen Wells
“They can’t punish someone who has resigned, which is why so many corrupt lawyers in Illinois resign before they are disbarred.”…Andy Martin
“Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.”…George Washington
Citizen Wells articles about fraud committed by Obama on his Illinois Bar Application have been getting a lot of attention lately. I am reprinting what I consider to be the more damning one. Andy Martin, whether you agree with him or not, was in the forefront of questioning Barack Obama prior to 2008. Martin has a legal background and below you will see his complaint against Obama from March 13, 2007 filed with the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. You will also find an email exchange between me and Andy Martin.
From Citizen Wells September 29, 2009.
There is much controversy regarding Barack Obama being eligible to be president. What we know is that Obama has not produced an actual birth certificate, his father was a British citizen, Obama is not a natural born citizen, Obama has kept hidden almost all official documents related to his past. One of the records Obama was not completely able to hide was his IL bar application. Here is data from Obama’s bar application that was saved in 2008.
The Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission
An agency of the Illinois Supreme Court
Rules of the Board of Admissions and Committee on Character and Fitness
RULE 6 CHARACTER AND FITNESS REQUIREMENTS
“Rule 6.4. The revelation or discovery of any of the following should be treated as cause for further detailed inquiry before the Committee decides whether the law student registrant or applicant possesses the requisite character and fitness to practice law: (a) unlawful conduct; (b) academic misconduct; (c) making false statements, including omissions;
(d) misconduct in employment; (e) acts involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation; (f) abuse of legal process; (g) neglect of financial responsibilities; (h) neglect of professional obligations; (i) violation of an order of a court; (j) evidence of conduct indicating instability or impaired judgment; (k) denial of admission to the bar in another jurisdiction on character and fitness grounds; (l) disciplinary action by a lawyer disciplinary agency or other professional disciplinary agency of any jurisdiction; (m) acts constituting the unauthorized practice of law; (n) failure to comply with the continuing duty of full disclosure to the Board and the Committee subsequent to the date of registration or application.”
Barack Obama fraudulently applied to the Illinois Bar.
- Obama had 17 unpaid parking tickets from his days at Harvard.
- Obama omitted his aliases of Barry Soetoro and Barry Obama.
- Obama admitted to drug use when he was younger and there is strong reason to believe he was still using drugs.
Read the complete IL bar rules:

From the Somerville News, March 7, 2007.
“Before Barack Obama was a United States senator and a presidential hopeful, he was a Harvard University law student living in Somerville who parked in bus stops and accumulated hundreds of dollars in parking tickets. And for nearly two decades those parking tickets went unpaid, until a representative of Obama’s settled all his outstanding debts with Cambridge’s Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department Jan. 26.
Obama attended Harvard Law School from 1988 to 1991. During his time at Harvard, Obama lived at 365 Broadway in Somerville, according to his parking tickets. Records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show that between Oct. 5, 1988 and Jan. 12, 1990 Obama was cited for 17 traffic violations, sometimes committing two in the same day. The abuses included parking in a resident permit area, parking in a bus stop and failing to pay the meter.
Twelve of Obama’s 17 tickets were given to him on Massachusetts Avenue.
In one eight day stretch in 1988, Obama was cited seven times for parking violations and was fined $45. Thirteen of the 17 violations occurred within one month in 1988.
Obama’s disobedience of the rules of the road earned him $140 in fines from the City of Cambridge. The tickets went unpaid for over 17 years and $260 in late fees were added to the tab. On Jan. 26, the fines and late fees were paid in full. The final tally for Obama’s parking breaches was $400, according to Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation.
Obama spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said the presidential candidate’s parking violations were not relevant.”

Re: Barack Hussein Obama (see attached)
COMPLAINT
Dear Board, Commission and Clerk’s Office:
I am addressing the following complaint to all three of your offices because
I am not sure which of you has jurisdiction to review the matters submitted
below.
Please deem this letter a formal complaint and request for investigation
submitted to all three of your offices, although I understand that only one
office will likely have authority to proceed with an actual investigation.
1. Background facts
a. Bar admission of Barack Hussein Obama
Mr. Obama was admitted to the Illinois Bar on December 17, 1991 (see
attached ARDC page). He is currently inactive.
b. IBAB requirements
The IBAB requires that bar admission applicants disclose whether they have
outstanding parking tickets (see attached excerpt from current application).
Obviously, in so far as the admission of Mr. Obama is concerned, the form of
the 1991 IBAB application would be controlling.
c. Outstanding parking tickets of Obama
Mr. Obama recently paid outstanding parking tickets that were unpaid at the
time of his admission to the bar (see attached news stories).
2. Legal issues
If in 1991 Mr. Obama signed an application to IBAB and denied that he owed
outstanding parking tickets, he falsified his application and gained
admission to the bar by fraud.
3. Request for relief/investigation/action
I would respectfully submit that Mr. Obama’s 1991 application should be
scrutinized to determine whether he falsified his answers and whether he
gained admission to the bar on the basis of fraudulent representations.
If the investigating authority determines that Mr. Obama’s answers were
deceptive, I believe an appropriate sanction should be imposed. It obviously
should not be a major sanction but a public reprimand or other appropriate
sanction should be imposed to protect the integrity of the admissions
process.
Respectfully submitted,
ANDY MARTIN”

What was the outcome of your March 13, 2007 complaint to the Illinois Supreme Court
regarding Obama’s application?
Thanks.

Nothing. Obama had already resigned as a lawyer and so they had no jurisdiction over him.

Thanks for the rapid response.
However, is there not a penalty for supplying false information?
Wells

Not if they have lost jurisdiction over the individual. They can’t punish someone who has resigned, which is why so many corrupt lawyers in Illinois resign before they are disbarred.

COURT-MARTIALED DOC: OBAMA ELIGIBILITY STILL IN QUESTION
Now serving patients, former officer wonders why Constitution ignored
Published: 1 day ago- inShare
- Text smaller
- Text bigger
Even the “ch’mos” (child molesters) who were incarcerated in Fort Leavenworth with Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, the military physician court martialed for refusing orders because of concerns that Barack Obama wasn’t constitutionally eligible to be commander in chief, recognized that Obama’s release last year of a Hawaiian birth document didn’t resolve the question.
That’s according to Lakin’s new book, “Officer’s Oath: Why my Vow to Defend the Constitution Demanded that I Sacrifice my Career.”
- Arrest Records In SecondsYou'd be surprised what is public. Find anyone's criminal history now.www.instantcheckmate.com
The Army flight surgeon had served with distinction, but decided, based on available information and his solemn oath when he entered the military, that he had to question whether Obama is eligible to be commander-in-chief of the U.S. military and order soldiers into war.
He had tried for years to obtain confirmation through the channels inside the military, through his congressional representatives and other available channels, to no avail.
So he decided his oath of allegiance to the Constitution required him to refuse an order from the chain of command headed by Obama. That would, he thought, force the issue, and possibly elicit an answer.
He got an answer, but not to his question: He was court martialed and removed from the military. He now has joined a civilian physician’s practice where he sees patients daily.
Get the book about the courageous Army colonel who challenged Obama’s eligibility, Terry Lakin’s “Officer’s Oath.”
In the book, Lakin notes that he was in Leavenworth, serving what amounted to a five-month sentence, when Obama released the document he claimed to be a copy of his original Hawaiian birth certificate.
It’s the same document Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s investigators have concluded is almost certainly a forgery.
Lakin describes the comments of other prisoners upon hearing news reports regarding the White House release of Obama’s supposed birth certificate:
“One question, Terry.”
“Shoot.”
“All you were asking for was a birth certificate, correct? If Obama had nothing to hide, how come he didn’t release it a long time ago?”
“I guess what they say is right: No one knows a con job better than a convict,” Lakin wrote.
He explains his case in chapters titled “Of Paramount Importance,” “The Truth Matters,” “Doing What is Right,” “Crossing the line,” “Duty, Honor, Country” and “Walking Righteous.”
The episode with the question from one of the “ch’mos” (child molesters) comes in the chapter titled “27 April 2011,” the date Obama released the document and posted it on the White House website.
Lakin notes that Obama claimed to have “had every official in Hawaii … confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii.”
“‘Every official in Hawaii’? I guess the president did not consult with Tim Adams. During the 2008 election cycle Adams served as senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu,” Lakin wrote.
Adams had stated, “There is no hospital record of his birth in Honolulu … and the Hawaii Department of Health told us in the Elections Office that there was no birth certificate.”
“If you don’t know about Adams, there is a reason why. Within a week of his one radio interview on the subject [he was] put under a gag order,” Lakin wrote. “As of this writing, no official in Hawaii has made a serious effort to look into Obama’s birth certificate, and those who said they did have not been able to keep their stories straight.”
He also responded to Obama’s characterization of concerns over his legitimacy as “silliness.”
“‘Silliness’? Is that what all my efforts amounted to, court martial and imprisonment included? You might think that at this point I was totally deflated, but I wasn’t. I was a little disappointed, but more confused than disappointed. I hoped his birth certificate was for real, but I was skeptical,” he continued.
He noted that Jerome Corsi’s book, “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” was schedule to be released, and “the pressure was mounting” on Obama.
“I figured the president had to say something, but what he said did not convince me. My fellow inmates knew what I was in Leavenworth for, and they said out loud pretty much what I felt.”
“‘If this is a sideshow,’ said one prisoner, ‘Obama is the one who caused it.’”
Lakin told WND a major concern that remains today is that officers all across the U.S. government take an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution which, in fact, requires certain qualifications for any president, including that he be a “natural born citizen.”
That’s where Obama has been challenged, some alleging he wasn’t born in the U.S. and others asserting it would make no difference since the Founders considered a “natural born citizen” to be the offspring of two citizen parents. Obama’s father was a foreign national visiting the U.S. as a student.
Lakin told WND he wonders how other officers are able to ignore the Constitution’s requirements, in light of their oath to uphold that document.
Americans, said Lakin, must face the realization that if the Constitution is ignored in this situation, the future will hold more incidents where the nation’s highest law will be passed over by those in power.
“We’re in a decline,” he said, and it is “a valid concern that this is a concerted effort by someone who may not be who he says he is.”
“People can hate me,” Lakin told WND. “They can call me whatever they want, think whatever they want of me. But the issue? It’s still not answered.”
Marco Ciavolino, who has worked with Lakin throughout his case and is the administrative trustee for the Terry Lakin Action Fund, said readers should appreciate a man who “took seriously his oath to protect and defend the Constitution.”
And he said there needs to be followup action by all Americans.
“Any elected official or appointee who flagrantly refuses to comply with the Constitution by commission or omission must be called to account,” he wrote. “That is all Terry asked for: simple compliance with the Constitution.”
“The Constitution was not created by accident. It was not a frivolous effort. Some seem to think a bunch of guys were sitting around a pub one night and said, ‘Hey, let’s start a country.’ The founding of our country was anything but that,” he said.
“Our Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and other founding documents came out of thousands of years of struggle, death and dialogue, debate and discussion, bravery and boldness. They were the most precise expression of a form of government that finally abandoned the concept of a sovereign monarchy in favor of government by the people, for the people.”
Jack Cashill, author of multiple books, helped Lakin in telling his story, and David Mercaldo, a New York-based author, wrote vignettes about people involved in his case.

Elections
You often hear the Left whining about corporations ‘buying elections’ (corporations spend about 50/50 on Democrats and Republicans depending on who is running). What you’ll never hear is the truth about unions and how unions spend millions of dollars to ‘buy’ Democrats. Unions employ full-time paid activists who are paid for with the dues extracted from members. There have been many lawsuits against unions for using dues in politicking. The numbers listed below do not include the ‘hidden’ money unions spend on elections through these paid activists. Check outwww.opensecrets.org for more information on Union spending but below is a graph of some truth about unions and their election buying.

OBAMA GIVES AND RECEIVES BLOOD MONEY FROM THE ABORTION LOBBY:
Obama Admin Sends $395K to Tennessee Planned Parenthood

The Obama administration has sent a family planning grant of $395,000 to a Planned Parenthood abortion business in Memphis, Tennessee. The move is drawing strong condemnation from pro-life advocates in the Volunteer State who are unhappy taxpayer funds are going to the nation’s biggest abortion business.Congressman Steve Cohen today announced that Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region (PPGMR) has received $395,000 for the Title X Family Planning Services Program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Grants Management.
“Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region has been helping Memphis and Shelby County residents get the health care they need to lead happier, healthier lives for years,” said Congressman Cohen. “These new federal funds will help ensure the Title X Family Planning Program reaches those who need help the most in underserved communities.”But Tennessee Right to Life officials tell LifeNews the funding comes in opposition to the majority of Tennesseans, who oppose public funding for Planned Parenthood.
“While we are disappointed that any tax funding would be directed to private organizations promoting and profiting from the killing of unborn children, this end run around the people of Tennessee will serve to underscore the urgent need to elect a pro-life president, Senate and Congress in November,” said Brian Harris, president of Tennessee Right to Life.
Although Harris is disappointed about the funding, the TRTL president said the federal grant represents a significant decrease in tax-funding the abortion giant previously received, which once amounted to more than $727,000 annually.
Harris said the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood follows successful efforts by pro-life Governor Bill Haslam and the Tennessee Legislature to redirect public health funds in Tennessee to ethical providers in Memphis and Nashville which do not promote, perform or profit from the killing of unborn children.
In 2011, state legislators passed a budget which was believed to have effectively defunded Planned Parenthood. Following the Legislature’s adjournment, lawmakers realized that pro-abortion language had also been included which nullified the effort to remove funding. In response, the Haslam Administration took action to direct available Title X funds to public health departments in both Davidson and Shelby counties where required family planning services were already being provided.

“The stakes for pro-life Tennesseans in the upcoming elections have just been heightened,” said Harris. “We’ve done good work here in Tennessee electing pro-life majorities to the Legislature and Congress. But all of that can apparently be undone unless we have a pro-life president and a pro-life senate solidly committed to defending the weakest and most vulnerable of all.”
FRC Action Praises U.S. House of Representatives for Vote to Repeal Health Care Law
By FRC ActionPublished: Wednesday, Jul. 11, 2012 - 2:14 pm
WASHINGTON, July 11, 2012 -- /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Family Research Council Action (FRC Action), the legislative advocacy arm of the Family Research Council, praised theU.S. House of Representatives for voting today to overturn the 2010 abortion-funding health care law.
The President's health care law includes subsidies for health plans that include abortion coverage in state health insurance exchanges, and a mandatory abortion fee in all exchange plans that cover abortion. It includes direct funding of abortion through specific federal spending in community health clinics and high-risk insurance pools, as well as subsidies for elective abortion in government run multi-state plans. The law also mandates preventive care services with no religious liberty protections.
FRC Action scored the votes on the Obama health plan in its annual scorecard and aired a national/radio ad campaign against the legislation. It scored today's vote as well.
Of the vote, Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins made the following comments:
"Today the House of Representatives nobly voted again to repeal President Obama's health care law, which funds abortion and tosses aside the constitutional right to religious freedom. It does this by funding health plans with abortion coverage and mandating people pay an abortion fee. The law also forces religious institutions and employers to cover abortion-causing drugs, contraceptives and sterilizations without cost to the employee. This directly violates religious freedom protected by the Constitution.
"Since the Supreme Court surprisingly upheld the law and the U.S. Senate and President Obama continue to stand in the way of a full repeal, it is up to we, the people to let our voices be heard at the ballot box in November. Only a complete repeal of this law will ensure that our religious liberties are protected.
"In addition, Congress should act now to protect the religious liberties of all Americans by bringing Rep. Jeff Fortenberry's conscience protection bill to the floor."

Weekly Standard: Paul Ryan Lays Out Path To Repeal
by JOHN MCCORMACK

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-WI, questions Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf during a hearing on Capitol Hill on June 6. Ryan said Tuesday only 50 GOP senators and a Mitt Romney presidency would be needed to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
text size A A AJuly 12, 2012
John McCormack is a staff writer for The Weekly standard.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan tells The Weekly Standard that Republicans will be able to "effectively repeal" Obamacare with a simple-majority vote in the Senate if they control Congress and the White House in 2013. By using the budget reconciliation process, repeal of Obamacare would not have to get the standard 60 votes needed to break a filibuster in the Senate.
"I feel very confident we can effectively repeal the law through reconciliation. Whether we can get every line and subsection of the bill will be a question up to the Senate parliamentarian at the end of the day," Ryan says. "But the guts of this bill are all fiscal matters, which are clearly included in reconciliation."
"There's one more chance, just one more chance, to get at this law," says Ryan. "And it's this election." If Republicans hold the House of Representatives and take the Senate and White House in November, Ryan says Republicans clearly will be able to repeal "all of the spending, the subsidies, the taxes, the mandates" in Obamacare. "That effectively repeals the law."
But it's not clear if the Senate parliamentarian, who is appointed by the Senate majority leader, would allow some of Obamacare's insurance regulations to be repealed through reconciliation.
"I think you can make a very good case that some of the regulatory provisions in the law have huge fiscal effects and therefore ought to be part of reconciliation," says Ryan. "That's going to be a debate we'll have." For example, in the past, Senate parliamentarians have thwarted attempts to use reconciliation to pass medical liability reform and drilling for oil in ANWR.
Some of the Obamacare regulations, such as the "community rating" requirement for private insurers to sell plans at the same price to people regardless of their lifestyles or pre-existing health problems, might not make it through reconciliation. But without the mandate or "tax" requiring Americans to buy insurance, the Obamcare regulations would become even more dysfunctional than they're already going to be, as people would have greater incentive to wait until they get sick to buy insurance.
"We'll have a better answer for pre-existing conditions than what the law has," Ryan says of GOP plans to replace Obamacare. "The actuaries tell us that between 4 and 8 percent of the under-65 popoulation fall into that pre-existing condition category. And our argument has long been that if you target resources through various pooling mechanisms toward those individuals you can make sure that no one goes to the poorhouse."
Whether Republicans will have even 50 votes to repeal Obamacare in the Senate next year is uncertain. Right now, Republicans have 47 seats in the upper chamber and are likely to lose one with the retirement of Maine senator Olympia Snowe. The GOP will play defense in Massachusetts, but there are good opportunities for Republican pick-ups in Nebraska, Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, Wisconsin, Florida, and Virginia. Whether Republicans can make a net gain of three Senate seats, hold the House, and take the White House will determine the fate of Obamacare.

Five House Freshmen Are Standing Out
- By Daniel Newhauser
- Roll Call Staff
- July 16, 2012, Midnight
Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call File Photo
Reps. James Lankford, Cory Gardner (above), Kristi Noem, Patrick Meehan and Tom Reed are confounding the stereotype of the House Republican freshman class. Each has made a mark on the 112th Congress, some by becoming leadership favorites.
- The House Republican freshman class is a bunch of bomb-throwing conservatives intent on stymying leadership, shunning bipartisanship and shutting down the government, right?
Here are five freshmen who have become favorites of leadership or leaders in their own right, who have reached across the aisle to get practical results, or who break the mold in which the freshman class is often framed.
They represent the new institutionalists, those who might one day be the chamber’s top leaders, committee chairmen and messengers.
Rep. Cory Gardner (Colo.)
A top staffer to former Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) before being elected to the Colorado state House, Gardner said his time on Capitol Hill gave him an understanding of what people demand of their leaders, namely competence.
“There are a lot of the same kinds of issues now that we were dealing with in 2002,” he said, naming Allard’s work on a highway bill and a farm bill that year. “What helped was to see what worked and what didn’t work.”
It also made him a known commodity and a favorite of leaders, especially on energy messaging.
Gardner got an early score when halfway through his first session, leaders held a successful vote on his bill to roll back Clean Air Act regulations. Another measure, to spur oil and gas production, was part of leadership’s recent energy and jobs push.
Gardner also co-leads a National Republican Congressional Committee effort to collect dues from Members.
“Most everyone has pegged him as a rising star in the Conference,” a GOP aide said. “He gets the political side of things but also is very good with policy.”
Gardner also hosts a supper club for fellow freshmen with Rep. Martha Roby (R-Ala.).
Rep. James Lankford (Okla.)
Formerly the director of the country’s largest Christian youth camp, the Oklahoman had no prior political experience and was on nobody’s radar until he was elected.
“He came out of nowhere, but he got here and totally has impressed folks,” said a GOP aide.
Calm, focused and solidly conservative, Lankford said he tried to set himself apart by staying away from hyperbole.
“This is a place where you’re typically rewarded the more juvenile you act,” Lankford said. “I just try to do my homework and keep a level head.”
His demeanor impressed GOP leadership: Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa(Calif.) handpicked Lankford to head a subcommittee, and Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) placed him on the transportation conference committee, where he was a go-to GOP messenger.
Rep. Patrick Meehan (Pa.)
The Pennsylvanian has staked out a name as one of the chamber’s top freshman moderates. The former U.S. attorney and one-time district attorney said he spurns contentious bills in favor of legislation he thinks can pass the Senate as well.
“I get frustrated because I think that we sometimes put ourselves into positions where we know what the end result is going to be, that it’s simply going to go to the other side and die,” he said.
He convinced leadership to bring two of his bipartisan bills to the floor, one to prevent counterfeit drug production and another, coming from the Homeland Security subcommittee he is chairman of, to increase intelligence sharing on weapons of mass destruction.
He has also encouraged leadership to make a big, balanced deficit reduction deal and was one of the few votes for the Bowles-Simpson budget on the House floor.
Still, he received an early endorsement from his peers and leaders with a slot on the Republican Steering Committee.
A former statewide political operative, Meehan is also a formidable fundraiser.
Rep. Tom Reed (N.Y.)
Reed started on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, but on the advice of his mentor, former Rep. Amo Houghton (R-N.Y.), he sought a slot on Ways and Means.
That he was placed on the powerful committee shows the trust leadership has in him, and aides say he has proved himself to be a go-getter with passion for the panel’s work.
It is no surprise, then, that he asked for and received a slot on the payroll tax conference committee and helped lead a push by Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) for miscellaneous tariff benefits.
Reed has had some success in the appropriations process by seeking out bipartisan amendments, not messaging riders. “The bottom line is that’s not what I’m here for,” Reed said. “There are some Members who come here and they want to have their five minutes in the press, their five minutes of glory, so to speak. I came here to do something.”
He said he learned that philosophy as the former mayor of Corning, N.Y.
“Being mayor of a small town, you’ve got to work together. You’re all residents of a small community, and that’s how I look at it down here.”
Rep. Kristi Noem (S.D.)
One of two freshmen at the leadership table, the former South Dakota state legislator’s responsibilities have only increased with time.
“She’s just always been a standout,” a GOP aide said. “An obvious leader.”
Noem was named a regional chairwoman for the NRCC and is the only freshman involved in heading the committee’s latest campaign to raise $26 million.
“They asked me to step up and I was willing to do that,” she said. “I knew from experience that leadership defines the agenda. ... If I’m going spend my time doing something, I’m going to be as effective as I can.”
On spending votes, she has stayed close to leadership. And most recently, she stuck with Agriculture Committee leaders during the farm bill debate, helping to beat back conservative Republican Study Committee amendments to cut more from food stamps, though she is an RSC member.

Gold Declines As Europe’s Debt Crisis Strengthens Dollar
By Nicholas Larkin - Jul 16, 2012 6:39 AM ETGold is set to decline in London on speculation Europe’s debt crisis will strengthen the dollar, curbing demand for the metal as an alternative investment.
The euro fell to near a two-year low versus the dollar after German Chancellor Angela Merkel said yesterday she hasn’t softened her stance on measures to stem debt contagion that’s prompted five euro states to seek international aid. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will discuss the outlook for the economy and monetary policy in testimony to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee tomorrow.
“Likely weakness in the euro may pressure the metal,” analysts at Hyderabad, India-based Karvy Comtrade said today in a report. “Investors will be eyeing Bernanke’s testimony tomorrow.”
Bullion for immediate delivery fell 0.3 percent to $1,584.20 an ounce by 11:11 a.m. in London. August-delivery futures were 0.5 percent lower at $1,584 on the Comex in New York.
Gold at the morning “fixing,” used by some mining companies to sell output, declined to $1,584 in London from $1,595.50 in the afternoon on July 13.
Hedge funds and other money managers cut their bets on higher gold prices by 18 percent in the week ended July 10, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Bernanke said on June 20 that policy makers will be prepared to take additional steps if necessary, including more asset purchases.
“Gold has been pulled and pushed on the back of expectations of further quantitative easing and remains under pressure from the stronger U.S. dollar,” Suki Cooper, an analyst at Barclays Plc in New York, wrote today in a report. “Further signs of economic stress in key U.S. macro indicators could increase the likelihood of QE3.”
Silver for immediate delivery fell 0.7 percent to $27.14 an ounce. Palladium declined 1.1 percent to $578.65 an ounce. Platinum was down 0.7 percent at $1,420.72 an ounce.

14 United States Governors : Prepare State Militia Defenses, To Be Ready Against Obama’s Rogue Federal Forces!
By Editor | Conspiracy, News, Top Stories
- StumbleUpon.comObama fearing a revolution against him by the states, has moved swiftly by nationalizing nearly all National Guard Forces in multiple states; Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Minnesota, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, South Carolina – to name a few. The Governors of the Great States of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia still have under their Command-and-Control the State Defense Forces to go against U.S. Federal forces should the need arise. Also important to note: There are NO U.S. laws prohibiting National Guard troops from also joining their State’s Defense Forces. This dilemma occurred during the Civil War with many “citizen soldiers” choosing to serve their states instead of the Federal Government.
Obama is angered by the several State Governors who have reestablished “State Defense Forces.” These forces are described as: “State Defense Forces (also known as State Guards, State Military Reserves, State Militias) in the United States are military units that operate under the sole authority of a state government; they are not regulated by the National Guard Bureau nor are they part of the ArmyNational Guard of the United States. State Defense Forces are authorized by state and federal law and are under the command of the governor of each state. State Defense Forces are distinct from their state’s National Guard in that they cannot become federal entities.”
Mr. Obama is fearful of these State Defense Forces, in that he does not have control of said forces, and with the U.S. Military stretched to near breaking from multiple deployments and theatre actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, these State military forces would be under the direct command and authority of the Governors in which states have said forces. In essence, the Governors would have “de facto control” of the United States.

The two Governors leading this move are: Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota; and Rick Perry, Governor of Texas. Both of these State Governors stated they have: “…deep fear the President is destroying their Nation.” Governor Pawlenty’s fear of Obama is that since Obama took office he has appeased America’s enemies and has shunned some of America’s strongest allies, especially Israel. Governor Perry has declared that Obama is punishing his State of Texas by dumping tens-of-thousands of illegal Mexican immigrants into the cities and small towns of Texas. Governor Perry further recently stated: “If Barack Obama’s Washington doesn’t stop being so oppressive, Texans might feel compelled to renounce their American citizenry and secede from the union.”

George Washington takes the oath of office at Federal Hall in lower Manhattan, April 30, 1789.
On September 17, 1787 George Washington was the first to sign and accept the Constitution even though it had no Bill of Rights. It was Patrick Henry with his great speeches and lectures who in 1788 forced an agreement which promised that continued ratifica- tions of the document depended upon a Bill of Rights to be forthcoming.George Washington takes the oath of office at Federal Hall in lower Manhattan, April 30, 1789.In 1789 Washing- ton took office and was faced with the arduous task of pioneering the first presidency including the structuring of the militia system. By January 1790 the influence Patrick Henry had over him became quite apparent. When Washington chaired the 1787 Constitutional Convention, provi- sions had been made for the defense of the country against invasion and for stifling rebel- lions, but there was an insuf- ficiency of safeguards to be applied against tyranny brought on by public officials.
14 United State Governors : Prepare State Militia Defenses, To Be Ready Against Obama’s Rogue Federal Forces!
By 1790 Washington began work on his “Plan No. 2 for the Organization of the Militia.” By now he was more able to see the weaknesses in the Constitution. He openly discussed the threat of tyranny emanating from within the government. By then, Patrick Henry’s wisdom was spread throughout the 13 original states, and it was inculcated as the basis for the policies and functions of the militia. Henry perpetuated the people’s liberty. He sustained the ultimate authority of the people. Washington well under- stood the need to safeguard the nation from its foreign enemies. In his “Plan No. 2 for the Organization of the Militia” he undertook to warn about the dangers of domestic enemies: tyranny in government.
United States Militias: Oath To Support And Defend The Constitution Against All Enemies, Foreign And Domestic
Washington himself took the farmers out for practice, and he utilized the knowledge and experiences of his generals and other valuable officers in the War for Independence by having them instruct and train the citizens (the whole people) in the techniques of soldiering, and the maintenance of an ‘energetic national militia’.
His “Plan No. 2 for the Organization of the Militia” was communicated to the Senate, on the 21st of January 1790. This lengthy Plan was permeated with the proposition that it is the direct duty and responsibility of the people themselves to guard against tyranny from within government.
Washington declared that the purpose of the militia was “to oppose the introduction of tyranny.” He had come a long way from the days when he accepted the Constitution without aBill of Rights.
To view Washington’s statement in the context in which it was delivered, please look over the following excerpt taken from Pages 7-8 of an old document published by Gales and Seaton in 1832 entitled “American State Papers – Documents, Legislative and Executive, of the Congress of the United States, from the First Session of the First to the Second Session of the Fifteenth Congress, inclusive: commencing March 3, 1789, and ending March 3, 1819”.
This excerpt is a part of Wash- ington’s lengthy Plan No. 2 of 1790. While he also made re- ference to the prevention of invasion and rebellion, Washing- ton said that “the well informed members of the community (the people) were meant to be the real defence of the country”; and “the virtues and knowledge of the people would effectually oppose the introduction of tyranny.”

He warned that “the government would be invaded or overturned, and trampled upon by the bold and ambitious” — meaning people in our own country who operated without adherence to vital principles. The absoluteness of the right of the people to keep and bear arms is a basic principle. Unless the right to arms is absolute, the people cannot remain the ultimate power. TheBill of Rights confirmed that we possess many other rights beside the absolute right to arms. All of the other rights for the preservation of their own existence, depend entirely upon the absoluteness, the force, and the reasoning that have shaped the Second Amend- ment. Washington agreed with Patrick Henry on the purpose of the militia: It was to “oppose the introduction of tyranny.” Make no mistake about it: The prime reason for the Second Amend- ment is prevention of tyranny in government.
EXCERPT FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON’S 1790 PLAN FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF THE MILITIA
“An energetic national militia is to be regarded as the capital security of a free republic, and not a standing army, forming a distinct class in the community.
It is the introduction and diffusion of vice, and corruption of manners, into the mass of the people, that renders a standing army necessary. It is when public spirit is despised, and avarice, indolence, and effeminacy of manners predominate, and prevent the establishment of institutions which would elevate the minds of the youth in the paths of virtue and honor, that a standing army is formed and riveted forever.
Powerful evidence and testimony from an expert with many years of experience with typesetting and document images proves that Obama’s long form birth certificate PDF file posted on the White House servers on 27 April 2011 is a fake and is a fabricated, composite document forgery:http://www.scribd.com/
When will Obama be seriously and fully investigated by the Congress , the FBI, or the Main Stream Media for his many criminal activities!
Meet ‘The Three Enablers‘ of Obama’s usurpation of office and who are continuing to allow him to get a pass on his crimes.
While the human character remains unchanged, and societies and governments of considerable extent are formed, a principle ever ready to execute the laws, and defend the state, must constantly exist. Without this vital principle, the government would be invaded or overturned, and trampled upon by the bold and ambitious. No community can be long held together, unless its arrangements are adequate to its probable exigencies.If it should be decided to reject a standing army for the military branch of the government of the United States, as possessing too fierce an aspect, and being hostile to the principles of liberty, it will follow that a well constituted militia ought to be established.
Southern Poverty Law Center Has Become A Danger To America!: Fronts For Islam Training Jihad Militia Groups On U.S. Soil!
A consideration of the subject will show the impracticability of disciplining at once the mass of the people. All discussions on the subject of a powerful militia will result in one or other of the following principles:
First, Either efficient institutions must be established for the military education of the youth, and that the knowledge acquired therein shall be diffused throughout the community, by the mean of rotation; or,
Secondly, That the militia must be formed of substitutes, after the manner of the militia of Great Britain.
United States Militias: Oath To Support And Defend The Constitution Against All Enemies, Foreign And Domestic
If the United States possess the vigor of mind to establish the first institution, it may reasonably be expected to produce the most unequivocal advantages. A glorious national spirit will be introduced, with its extensive train of political consequences. The youth will imbibe a love of their country; reverence and obedience to its laws; courage and elevation of mind; openness and liberality of character; accompanied by a just spirit of honor: in addition to which their bodies will acquire a robustness, greatly conducive to their personal happiness, as well as the defence of their country; while habit, with its silent but efficacious operations, will durably cement the system.
Habit, that powerful and universal law, incessantly acting on the human race, well deserves the attention of legislators—formed at first in individuals, by separate and almost imperceptible impulses, until at length it acquires a force which controls with irresistible sway. The effects of salutary or pernicious habits, operating on a whole nation, are immense, and decide its rank and character in the world.
-2-Hence the science of legislation teaches to scrutinize every national institution, as it may introduce proper or improper habits; to adopt with religious zeal the former, and reject with horror the latter.
A republic, constructed on the principles herein stated, would be uninjured by events, sufficient to overturn a government supported solely by the uncertain power of a standing army.
The Tree Of Liberty Must Be Refreshed From Time To Time With The Blood Of Patriots And Tyrants.
The well informed members of the community, actuated by the highest motives of self-love, would form the real defence of the country. Rebellions would be prevented or suppressed with ease; invasions of such a government would be undertaken only by mad men; and the virtues and knowledge of the people would effectually oppose the introduction of tyranny.
State Militias May Be Implemented To Root Out Obama’s Illegal Muslim Brotherhood: Islamic Terror Training Camps Inside The USA.
But the second principle, a militia of substitutes, is pregnant, in a degree, with the mischiefs of a standing army; as it is highly probable the substitutes from time to time will be nearly the same men, and the most idle and worthless part of the community. Wealthy families, proud of distinctions which riches may confer, will prevent their sons from serving in the militia of substitutes; the plan will degenerate into habitual contempt; a standing army will be introduced, and the liberties of the people subjected to all the contingencies of events.
The expense attending an energetic establishment of militia may be strongly urged as an objection to the institution. But it is to be remembered, that this objection is leveled at both systems, whether by rotation or by substitutes: for, if the numbers are equal, the expense will also be equal. The estimate of the expense will show its unimportance, when compared with the magnitude and beneficial effects of the institution.
But the people of the United States will cheerfully consent to the expenses of a measure calculated to serve as a perpetual barrier to their liberties; especially as they well know that the disbursements will be made among the members of the same community, and therefore cannot be injurious.
Every intelligent mind would rejoice in the establishment of an institution, under whose auspices the youth and vigor of the constitution would be renewed with each successive generation, and which would appear to secure the great principles of freedom and happiness against the injuries of time and events.
BREAKING! Taking America Down For British Banking Cartel : Russian Troops Coming To America To Counter State Militias!
The following plan is formed on these general principles:
First, That it is the indispensable duty of every nation to establish all necessary institutions for its own perfection and defence.
Secondly, That it is a capital security to a free state, for the great body of the people to possess a competent knowledge of the military art.
Thirdly, That this knowledge cannot be attained, in the present state of society, but by establishing adequate institutions for the military education of youth; and that the knowledge acquired therein should be diffused throughout the community by the principles of rotation.
Fourthly, That every man of the proper age, and ability of body, is firmly bound, by the social compact, to perform, personally, his proportion of military duty for the defence of the state.
-3-
Fifthly, That all men, of the legal military age, should be armed, enrolled, and held responsible for different degrees of military service.
And Sixthly, That agreeably to the constitution, the United States are to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such a part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States; reserving to the States, respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia, according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.”

State Militia Defense Forces For Homeland Security: ~ Against A Rogue Mainstream Government!
GEORGE WASHINGTON
George Washington is listed as No. 1 in the Hall of Fame. In addition to his many other remarkable achievements, his Farewell Address also has gone down in history as one of the greatest writings of all time. In it he warned against engaging in foreign influence and entanglements, weakening the fabric of the constitutional government, loss of respect for national morality and religious principles, growth of party spirit, and against the devastation brought on by pretended patriotism.
It was a disgraceful effort which caused February 22nd, Washington’s birthday, to be renamed as President’s Day, thus reducing the respect due to a man who had contributed so much of himself. In his Farewell Address he left us this immortal advice:
“Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor and caprice?
George Washington And Father Augustine WashingtonIt is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world….”
Yet, we allow our public officials to “police the world”. Further still he said:
“One method of assault may be to effect, in the forms of the Constitution, alterations which will impair the energy of the system, and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown…..”
Yet, we allow our public officials to effect grievous alterations in the operation of the Constitutional system, swear by the oath of office under pretended allegiance, and destroy our inherent right as the ultimate power in the republic by denying us the use of firearms.

NSA whistleblower: They’re assembling information on every U.S. citizen
By Muriel Kane
Friday, July 13, 2012 22:19 EDT
NSA whistleblower William Binney was interviewed by internet journalist Geoff Shively at the HOPE Number 9 hackers conference in New York on Friday.
Binney, who resigned from the NSA in 2001 over its domestic surveillance program, had just delivered a keynote speech in which he revealed what Shively called “evidence which we have not seen until this point.”
“They’re pulling together all the data about virtually every U.S. citizen in the country … and assembling that information,” Binney explained. “So government is accumulating that kind of information about every individual person and it’s a very dangerous process.” He estimated that something like 1.6 billion logs have been processed since 2001.
Shively and livestreamer Tim Pool, who was filming the interview, concluded by noting that videos of Binney’s keynote address will be available shortly.
This video was uploaded to Youtube by Timcasts on July 13, 2012.

A woman identified only as Witness 9 tearfully told Florida authorities investigating George Zimmerman for the fatal shooting of an unarmed teen that he molested her for 10 years, starting when she was 6, according to a new round of evidence released Monday.

George Zimmerman enters the courtroom before he appears before Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Lester, Jr., during a bond hearing at the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center in Sanford, Fla., on June 29.
The woman, who was not a witness to the killing of Trayvon Martin, made her explosive statement to investigators for the state attorney in March, a month after the shooting.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon, 17, who was walking from a store to the home of his father's fiancée. The two got into an altercation that ended with the teen's death on Feb. 26.
He is out on $1 million bond. A judge had revoked his previous $150,000 bond in June when prosecutors showed that Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, tried to hide their assets from the court.
The woman's 27-minute recorded interview is part of evidence released by prosecutor Angela Corey's office.
The woman, who said she is a relative of Zimmerman, recounts incidents that she said began when she was 6 and he was 8. She said the sexual abuse began when she and her sister went to stay with Zimmerman and his family.
She said Zimmerman assaulted her numerous times, groping her with his hands, kissing her, fondling her inside her pants and inserting his fingers in her vagina.
"I wanted to make it stop, but I didn't know how," the woman tearfully told investigators. She said she never said anything about the alleged abuse because she was scared.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, had argued that the interview should not be released. O'Mara wrote in a motion that the statement "is not relevant" to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin and would "serve to reignite and potentially enhance the widespread public hostility toward Mr. Zimmerman."
The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, said her family and Zimmerman's family were always together.
She said the last incident occurred when she was 16 and they were both in a house his family owned in Lake Mary, Fla. She said he told her to lay on a bed, then laid down next to her and tried to massage her. She said they were clothed, but she said she felt his erection. She said she ran out of the room and house.
The woman said that in 2005, when she was 20, she told her sister that "something happened," but didn't provide details. Her sister told her parents, who confronted Zimmerman. At the time, he allegedly said, "I'm sorry," but they never discussed it further, she said.
Zimmerman's family wanted to sweep everything under the rug, the woman said. The families still got together, but she said Zimmerman stopped attending many of those functions.
She said she came forward now because, "For the first time in my life, I'm not afraid of him."
Attorney Benjamin Crump, lawyer for the Martin family, said Monday "as the state attorney previously stated, she (witness 9) certainly would be a rebuttal witness very similar to that in the Sandusky trial showing that he (Zimmerman) has a history of violence and manipulation. Zimmerman's mentality is very relevant to this trial."
The woman told Sanford police in a telephone interview released in May that Zimmerman and his family are racist against blacks. In that interview, she refused to identify herself.
"Growing up he and his family always made statements that they did not like black people unless they act white," she told police.
But she said she never saw Zimmerman do anything specific that showed he was racist.
Recordings released Monday included 145 phone calls Zimmerman had while in jail.
In one conversation Zimmerman spoke with an unidentified person who told him that Zimmerman's friend and defender Frank Taaffe said that "he has an interested party" who was willing to pay for his legal defense as long as Jose Baez was co-counsel.
Baez represented Casey Anthony, the Florida woman who was tried and acquitted in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, last summer.
Zimmerman quotes O'Mara as saying, "if you want him to be co-counsel just have him be your counsel because I will excuse myself."
Zimmerman in the recording said, "I told him no, absolutely not."

Toxicology reports were unable to prove that an illicit substance was to blame for Eugene lashing into Poppo's face with his teeth -- an assault so unthinkably gruesome it sparked fear of a zombie apocalypse across the country.
And now another strange detail raises new questions about whether the attack was random at all.
In an extensive Miami Herald report, Eugene's friend Christian says the two had met Poppo before while volunteering with Miami's homeless community.
“Poppo seemed like a nice and kind man,” Christian told the Herald. “I remember when we gave him food.’’
Poppo, who has been called "extremely charming" by staff at Jackson Memorial Hospital where he continues to recover, was napping in the shade of the Metrorail when Eugene attacked him after crossing the MacArthur Causeway on foot.
The fact that police found torn-out pages from the Bible scattered along Eugene's path and near the site of the attack has prompted many in the local community to think that religion played a part in his bizarre behavior. Others blame Vodou based on Eugene's Haitian heritage.
Several Haitian churches refused to host Eugene's funeral after congregations said that they would be uncomfortable having his body in their place of worship. Read the full details at the Miami Herald.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: The Jackson Memorial Foundation has set up a fund to assist Ronald Poppo in his recovery, which experts in facial reconstruction have said will include lengthy treatment, staged reconstruction, and psychological care. Donations can be made online at jmf.org.

FDA Admits in Court Case That Vaccines Still Contain Mercury | Consciousness TV

Share This Post
It is a common myth today that the vaccines administered to children no longer contain the toxic additive thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative linked to causing permanent neurological damage. But a recent federal case involving the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has revealed that, contrary to this widely-held belief, thimerosal is actually still present in many batch vaccines, including in the annual influenza vaccine that is now administered to children as young as six months old.
Filed by a citizen-backed coalition advocating vaccine safety, the lawsuit against the FDA alleged that the agency’s continued endorsement and approval of thimerosal as a vaccine additive is a serious public health threat, especially since safer alternatives already exist and are widely used voluntarily by many vaccine manufacturers. But Judge Brett Kavanaugh, siding with antiquated pseudoscience, decided that thimerosal is not a health threat, and that those who wish to avoid it can simply choose thimerosal-free alternatives.
Ignoring the evidence of thimerosal’s dangers brought before him on behalf of the millions of children across the country who continue to be injected with this mercury-based additive, Judge Kavanaugh declared that the plaintiffs, which include groups like theCoalition for Mercury-Free Drugs(CMFD), did not have proper standing to file the lawsuit. And in the process, both he and the FDA inadvertently admitted that thimerosal is still present in many childhood vaccines, which counters popular claims to the contrary.
FDA admits on its website that thimerosal is still in vaccines
The fact that Judge Kavanaugh refused to hear the case is tragic in and of itself, as thimerosal, which is composed of 50 percent mercury, has been proven to cause serious health damage. But what may be even worse is the fact that many people falsely believe that thimerosal is not even included in vaccines anymore, which is leading them to blindly allow them to be administered to their children. And the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA have continued to provide dubious and misleading information on the subject, which the mainstream media has been complicit in spreading over the years.
But the FDA explains, in no uncertain terms, directly on its website that thimerosal is still added to certain vaccines. For this reason alone, it is crucial that parents who choose to vaccinate their children ask for an ingredients list for each and every vaccine before allowing them to be administered to their children.
“While the use of mercury-containing preservatives has declined in recent years with the development of new products formulated with alternative or no preservatives, thimerosal has been used in some immune globulin preparations, anti-venins, skin test antigens, and ophthalmic and nasal products, in addition to certain vaccines,” writes the FDA on its Thimerosal in Vaccinespage (http://www.fda.gov).
Don’t believe the lie: Thimerosal is eventually converted by the body into highly-toxic inorganic mercury
Another myth often spread by thimerosal advocates claims that the ethylmercury compounds that compose roughly 50 percent of the preservative are not actually harmful because they are different from the type found in a can of tuna. But a comprehensive review conducted by Dr. Paul G. King has proven otherwise, showing that ethylmercury is first metabolized by the body into toxic methylmercury, which is then metabolized into inorganic mercury.
Both methylmercury and inorganic mercury are listed by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) as toxic substances responsible for causing neurological problems, brain disorders, nervous system illnesses, gastrointestinal problems, kidney failure, respiratory illness, and death (http://www.epa.gov/hg/

BUDGET MATTERS:
Obama hasn’t written a budget that matches the revenue that we’ve taken in since he’s been in office, a revenue trend of $2.5 trillion annually per year. So the Senate has failed to pass a budget during that time, asking every year for more than we’ve been taking in, going on 4 years now...

By Erik Wasson - 07/16/12 12:05 PM ET
The Obama administration has missed another annual budget deadline, failing to send Congress a mid-session budget review before July 16.The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) confirmed Monday that the deadline for the review, due every year on that date, was not met this year.“There will be a mid-session review and timing is still being determined,” spokeswoman Moira Mack said.
Last year, OMB issued its mid-session review on Sept. 1.The document is supposed to contain revised spending, tax collection and deficit numbers to update the February budget proposal.Releasing documents late has become a regular event at OMB.Obama this year released his 2013 budget past deadline for the third year in a row. Under the law, the budget is to be released on the first Monday in February, but came out on Feb. 13 this year.The Obama administration also delayed the release of the budget last year, waiting until Feb. 14.Republicans have linked the delays to the failure of Senate Democrats to pass a stand-alone budget for the last three years."This makes a more significant statement than the president’s recent speeches and interviews professing his vigilant stewardship of the nation," Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said Monady through his spokesman. "Combined with $5 trillion in debt accrued since 2009, and the refusal of his Senate majority to produce a budget for three years in the midst of crisis, it reveals a troubling detachment from the financial future of our Republic."— This story was updated at 1:16 p.m.

SYRIA IN CIVIL WARBashar al-Assad could face prosecution as Red Cross rules Syria is in civil war
Declaration signals that Geneva-based organisation regards all civilians and detainees as protected under international law

The International Committee of the Red Cross says Syria is now in a state of civil war, a definition it suggests could change the rules of engagement in the violence-ravaged country and help lay the ground for war crimes prosecutions.
The announcement came hours after a senior Syrian official denied government forces had committed a massacre in the town of Tremseh on Thursday, and rejected a UN claim that the regime had led the attack with heavy weapons and helicopters.
Meanwhile, there was further fierce fighting in Damascus that residents said was the worst yet to hit the capital in the uprising against Bashar al-Assad.
The UN returned to Tremseh on Sunday for a second day of investigations into what took place there during a series of clashes, on what is being cast by activists as one of the 17-month-long uprising's bloodiest days. Residents claim close to 150 people were killed in about seven hours of shelling followed by a ground assault. They say they have not yet been able to recover some bodies from nearby fields.
On Saturday UN investigators in the town found pools of blood in homes and spent bullets, mortars and artillery shells, but said the attack appeared to have targeted specific groups and houses, mainly those of army defectors and activists.Credit: Guardian Graphics
A Syrian foreign ministry spokesman, Jihad Makdissi, said on Sunday that 37 people had been killed in an attack concentrated on five homes. He alleged that most of those killed were rebels, whom he classed as "terrorists".
Damascus has consistently branded all armed opponents terrorists and claims that Tremseh had been infiltrated by jihadi fighters from outside Syria.
"This was not a massacre," Makdissi told a press conference in Damascus. "It was a military operation. Helicopters were involved in surveillance only."
Residents of Tremseh presented a different picture. They claimed that the small farming town, 15 miles north-west of the city of Hama, was targeted because it opposed the regime. Three residents contacted by telephone denied that the opposition guerrilla force, the Free Syrian Army, had a strong presence there, though they acknowledged that fighters had arrived to defend the town on Thursday afternoon.
Facts are becoming ever more bitterly contested in Syria as the stakes rise for all sides invested in the uprising.
The attack on Tremseh marks the third time since late May that a rural town close to an Alawite community – the ethnic group from which the regime draws its power base – has been attacked. Damascus blamed terrorists for the previous attacks on Houla and Mazraat al-Kabir, but in all three cases, residents insist they were attacked by state troops and pro-regime Shabiha militia after being shelled for many hours.
Clashes have increasingly become two-way in many flashpoint areas of the country, including Homs, Hama and Idlib, where rebel forces – aided by a steady trickle of defections and smuggled weapons – are involved in daily skirmishes against dedicated regime forces.
In Damascus, activists said on Sunday that the Syrian army had closed down the road to the airport and was trying to surround fighters in southern neighbourhoods such as al-Tadamon and Hajar al-Aswad in an attempt to crush unrest inside Damascus.
The fighting spread to al-Lawan, a neighbourhood on the south-western outskirts of the capital.
"There are hundreds of fighters in Damascus right now. We'll see what happens," an activist in the capital told Reuters by Skype. He asked not to be named. "If the regime is able to crush the fighters in Tadamon, the clashes should stop, but if not they may spread further."
The ICRC ruling marks a significant moment in the Syrian uprising, which during the past year has changed from a series of anti-regime protests into a full-blown insurrection. It had previously said that localised states of civil war existed in Homs, Hama and Idlib. The ICRC is considered to be a guardian of the Geneva convention, which prescribes the rules of warfare. The declaration signals that the Geneva-based organisation regards all civilians and detainees as protected under international law.
Alexis Heeb, an ICRC spokesman in Geneva, said: "Now there are many places in Syria that fulfil requirements to be a called a non-international armed conflict, and the situation is fluid and constantly evolving.
"What matters is that humanitarian law applies across the country, and that means civilians and those no longer taking part in the conflict are protected."
Meanwhile, on the diplomatic front, the UN special envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, will travel to Moscow this week for talks with senior Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin. In the wake of the attack on Tremseh, Annan said he was "shocked and appalled" at the violence, which had taken place shortly after he had held a meeting with Syrian leader, Bashar al-Assad, with the aim of kickstarting the peace plan he conceived in April.
Russia, a key stakeholder in the Syrian crisis, along with Iran, has given mixed signals on how to resolve the situation, at times suggesting it is not wedded to the notion of Assad remaining in power. On Sunday Moscow today again reiterated its position that a resolution must come from within Syria.
Members of the Syrian National Council opposition group came away from Moscow last week without any concessions from the long-term ally of Damascus, which has twice used a veto at the UN security council to stymie western condemnations of the Assad regime.
Moscow has suggested it would again veto a move mooted by the US and some European states for sanctions on Syria.

2ND UMBRELLA OF CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDING IS PATENTS/POST OFFICE:POSTAL REFORM:House bill is dangerous approach to postal reform
Letter to the Editor
Posted Jul 14, 2012 @ 02:00 PM
The U.S. House of Representatives is attempting to fix the Postal Service through proposed changes called the Postal Reform Act.
HR 2309 is a dangerous bill that does nothing to address the real challenges facing the Postal Service.
HR 2309 would eliminate Saturday mail service; 90 percent of the people whose mail comes to their doors would instead be forced to retrieve it from centralized cluster boxes.
Thousands of local post offices would close, and hundreds more plants would shut down. Proposed cuts would eliminate thousands of decent-paying, middle-class jobs in a struggling economy.
Postal reform is needed, but not in the drastic form of HR 2309.
A fact that many citizens do not know is that military veterans make up approximately 25 percent of the postal work force.
The unemployment rate for veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq is already higher than the national average.
Veterans who have made sacrifices for their country deserve to come home and find good-paying jobs. Having been in the military, I was fortunate to have never been deployed to a war zone, but I have never forgotten all the risks that these brave men and women take.
Let’s protect their future, as they continue to protect ours.
Ask your representative to vote “no” on HR 2309. This will help veterans to find decent-paying jobs and help communities to keep local jobs.
Congress should seek legislation that helps the Postal Service to meet its challenging needs instead of cutting jobs and dropping services that many Americans depend on.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER CARRIERSTHE 3RD UMBRELLA OF CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDING IS JUDICIARY/COURTS:THE MONEY THAT NEEDS TO BE CUT FROM HERE IS ABOUT $200 BILLION, AND THE PAYROLL TAX CUTS WOULD HAVE TO EXPIRE, IN ORDER TO PAY CONGRESS.BUSH JR. TAX CUTS ARE A GIMMICK: ESSENTIALLY, WE HAVE BORROWED TO PAY CONGRESS’ SALARY BY DROPPING PEOPLE PAY FOR CONGRESS THROUGH THEIR PAYROLL TAXES SINCE 2001-2003:Bush tax cuts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia*
Part of a series of articles onUnited Statesbudget and debt topicsMajor dimensionsProgramsContemporary issuesTerminology
The phrase Bush tax cuts refers to changes to the United States tax code passed originally during the presidency of George W. Bush, through:- Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA)
- Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (JGTRRA)
The Bush tax cuts had sunset provisions that made them expire at the end of 2010, since otherwise they would fall under the Byrd Rule. Whether to renew the lowered rates and how became the subject of extended political debate, which was resolved during the presidency of Barack Obama by a two-year extension that was part of a larger tax and economic package, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010.Contents
[edit]Implications for the Alternative Minimum Tax
The 2001 act and the 2003 act significantly lowered the marginal tax rates for nearly all U.S. taxpayers. One byproduct of this tax rate reduction was that it brought to prominence a previously lesser known provision of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The AMT was originally designed as a way of making sure that wealthy taxpayers could not take advantage of "too many" tax incentives and reduce their tax obligation by too much. It is a parallel system of calculating a taxpayer's tax liability that eliminates many deductions. However the applicable AMT rates were not adjusted to match the lowered rates of the 2001 and 2003 acts, causing many more people to face higher taxes. This reduced the benefit of the two acts for many upper-middle income earners, particularly those with deductions for state and local income taxes, dependents, and property taxes.
The AMT exemption level aspects of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, as well as the sunsetting year of capital gains and dividends, were among the tweaks made to the tax code in the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005.[edit]Debate over effect of cuts
CBO data - Federal individual income tax revenue trends from 2000-2009 (dollars and % GDP)There was and is considerable controversy over who benefited from the tax cuts and whether or not they have been effective in spurring sufficient growth. Supporters of the proposal and proponents of lower taxes claimed that the tax cuts increased the pace of economic recovery and job creation. Further, proponents of the cuts asserted that lowering taxes on all citizens, including the rich, would benefit all and would actually increase receipts from the wealthiest Americans as their tax rates would decline without resort to tax shelters. The Wall Street Journal editorial page states that taxes paid by millionaire households more than doubled from $136 billion in 2003 to $274 billion in 2006 because of the JGTRRA.[2]
The Heritage Foundation alleges that the Bush tax cuts led to the rich shouldering more of the income tax burden and the poor shouldering less;[3]while the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) has concluded that the tax cuts have conferred the "largest benefits, by far on the highest income households."[4] The underlying policy has been criticized by Democratic Party congressional opponents for giving tax cuts to the rich with capital gains tax breaks while acknowledging some benefit extended to middle and lower income brackets as well.[5]
Statements by Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Senate Majority LeaderBill Frist that these tax cuts effectively "paid for themselves" have been disputed by the CBPP,[6] the U.S. Treasury Department and the CBO.[7][8][9][10] EconomistPaul Krugman wrote in 2007: "Supply side doctrine, which claimed without evidence that tax cuts would pay for themselves, never got any traction in the world of professional economic research, even among conservatives."[11] Since 2001, federal income tax revenues have remained below the 30-year average of 8.4% of GDP with the exception of 2007, and did not regain their 2000 dollar peak until 2006, though reasons for regaining previous levels are not given (see chart at right).[12]
Some policy analysts and non-profit groups such as OMBWatch,[13] Center on Budget and Policy Priorities,[14] and the Tax Policy Center[15] have attributed much of the rise in income inequality to the Bush administration's tax policy. In February 2007, President Bush addressed the rise of inequality for the first time, saying "The reason is clear: We have an economy that increasingly rewards education and skills because of that education."[16]
Critics state that the tax cuts, including those given to middle and lower income households, failed to spur growth. The cuts also increased the budget deficit, shifted the tax burden from the rich to the middle and working classes, and further increased already high levels of income inequality.[17][18][19][20][21] Economists Peter Orszag and William Gale described the Bush tax cuts as reverse government redistribution of wealth, "[shifting] the burden of taxation away from upper-income, capital-owning households and toward the wage-earning households of the lower and middle classes."[22] Supporters argued that the tax brackets were still more progressive than the brackets from 1986 until 1992, with higher marginal rates on the upper class, and lower marginal rates on the middle class than established by either the Tax Reform Act of 1986 or the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990.[23]
Economist Simon Johnson wrote in 2010: "The U.S. government doesn’t take in much tax revenue—at least 10 percentage points of GDP less than comparable developed economies—and it also doesn’t spend much except on the military, Social Security and Medicare. Other parts of government spending can be frozen or even slashed, but it just won’t make that much difference. That means older Americans are going to get squeezed, while our ability to defend ourselves goes into decline. Just because there’s a bipartisan consensus on an idea, such as tax cuts, doesn’t mean it makes sense. Today’s tax cutters have set us up for tomorrow’s fiscal crisis and real damage to U.S. national security."[24]
A Washington Post article takes a different view, claiming that data showed that the biggest contributor to the disappearance of projected surpluses was increased spending, which accounted for 36.5 percent of the decline in the nation’s fiscal position, followed by incorrect CBO estimates, which accounted for 28 percent. The Bush tax cuts (along with some Obama tax cuts) were responsible for just 24 percent.[25]
A New York Times article claims the full Bush-era tax cuts were the single biggest contributor to the deficit over the past decade, reducing revenues by about $1.8 trillion between 2002 and 2009.[26]
CBO estimated in June 2012 that the Bush tax cuts (EGTRRA and JGTRRA) added about $1.6 trillion to the debt between 2001 and 2011, excluding interest.[27][edit]Debate over continuation of cuts
Congressional Research Service (CRS) analysis on extending the tax cuts from September 2010Most of the tax cuts were scheduled to expire December 31, 2010. Debate over what to do regarding the expiration became a regular issue in the 2004 and 2008 U.S. presidential elections, with Republican candidates generally wanting the cut rates made permanent and Democratic candidates generally advocating for a retention of the lower rates for middle-class incomes but a return to Clinton-era rates for high incomes. During his presidential election campaign, then candidate Obama stated that couples with incomes less than $250,000 would not be subjected to tax increases. This income level later became a focal point for debate over what defined the middle class.[28][not in citation given]
In August 2010, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that extending the tax cuts for the 2011-2020 time period would add $3.3 trillion to the national debt, comprising $2.65 trillion in foregone tax revenue plus another $0.66 trillion for interest and debt service costs.[29]
The non-partisan Pew Charitable Trusts estimated in May 2010 that extending some or all of the tax cuts would have the following impact under these scenarios:- Making the tax cuts permanent for all taxpayers, regardless of income, would increase the national debt $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years.
- Limiting the extension to individuals making less than $200,000 and married couples earning less than $250,000 would increase the debt about $2.2 trillion in the next decade.
- Extending the tax cuts for all taxpayers for only two years would cost $561 billion over the next 10 years.[30]
In late July 2010, analysts at Deutsche Bank said letting the Bush tax cuts expire for those earning more than $250,000 would greatly slow economic recovery. However, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said allowing the expiration would not cause such a slowing. The Obama administration proposed keeping tax cuts for couples making less than $250,000 per year.[32] Economist Mark Zandipredicted that making the Bush tax cuts permanent would be the second least stimulative of several policies considered. Making the tax cuts permanent would have a multiplier effect of 0.29 (compared to the highest multiplier of 1.73 for food stamps).[33][edit]Extension of Bush tax cuts

At the "Slurpee Summit" of November 30, President Barack Obama appointed Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Office of Management and Budget chief Jack Lew to help Republicans and Democrats hammer out an agreement on extending the Bush tax cuts.[34]All 42 Republican Senators pledged to block all legislation in the lame-duck session until the tax matter was settled.[35][36]
Congressional Democrats offered two attempts to extend the Bush-era rates for "middle income" families but restore the previous, higher rates for "high income" people. The first proposal had a cutoff at $250,000, while the second raised the dividing line to $1 million. Both proposals were able to pass in the House, but on December 4, 2010, both fell short in the Senate, getting only 53 votes and not the 60 needed for cloture.[37]
On December 6, 2010, President Barack Obama announced a compromise tax package proposal had been reached, centered around a temporary, two-year extension of the Bush tax cuts.[38] In particular, the framework included key points such as:- Extending the 2001/2003 income tax rates for two years. Also, reforming the AMT to ensure an additional 21 million households will not face a tax increase. These measures are intended to provide relief to more than 100 million middle-class families and prevent an annual tax increase of over $2,000 for the typical family.[39]
- Additional provisions designed to promote economic growth. $56 billion in unemployment insurance, an approximate $120 billion payroll tax cut for working families, about $40 billion in tax cuts for the hardest hit families and students, and 100 percent expensing for businesses during 2011.[39][40]
- Estate tax adjustment. Rates would be 35 percent after a $5 million exemption.[40][41]
Administration officials like Vice President Joe Biden then worked to convince wary Democratic members of Congress to accept the plan, notwithstanding a continuation of lower rates for the highest-income taxpayers.[43] The compromise proved popular in public opinion polls, and allowed Obama to portray himself as a consensus-builder not beholden to the liberal wing of his party.[44] The bill was opposed by some of the most conservative members of the Republican Party as well as by talk radio hosts such as Rush Limbaughand some groups in the Tea Party movement.[44][45] It was also opposed by several leading potential candidates for the Republican nomination in the 2012 presidential election, including Mitt Romney,[44] typically on the grounds that it did not make the Bush tax cuts permanent and that it would overall increase the national deficit.[46]
In an interview during these debates, former President Bush said, "I wish they would have called it something other than the 'Bush tax cuts'. There'd probably be less angst amongst some to pass it."[47] He argued strongly for maintaining the rates: "I do believe it's very important to send the signal to our entrepreneurs and our families that the government trusts them to spend their own money. And I happen to believe lower taxes is what stimulates economic growth and what we need now in our country is economic growth."[47]
On December 15, 2010, the Senate passed the compromise package with an 81–19 vote, with large majorities of both Democrats and Republicans supporting it.[48] Near midnight on December 16, the House passed the measure on a vote of 277–148, with only a modest majority of Democrats but a large majority of Republicans voting for the package.[49][50] Before that, an amendment put forward by Democratic Representative Earl Pomeroy and the progressives among the Democratic caucus to raise the estate tax, which was the ultimate sticking point of the deal for them and the cause of a minor revolt among those against it, failed on a 194–233 vote.[44][49][51]The Washington Post called the approved deal "the most significant tax bill in nearly a decade".[50] President Barack Obama signed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, on December 17, 2010.[edit]"Taxmageddon"
In February 2012, the term "Taxmageddon" was coined by Congressional aides to refer to December 31, 2012, the date of the expected implementation of government spending reductions and expiration of a large number of tax cuts, many of which are the tax cuts enacted under George W. Bush.[52][53] In a report released in May 2012, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicted that these policy changes could lead to reduced economic growth, significant enough to be considered a recession.[54][55] The increase in taxes that is due to occur has been described by Republicans including House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell as the largest in U.S. history. According to the Associated Press, the increase would be the second largest after the tax increase of 1942, if population growth, increased pay and the size of the economy are taken into account.[54]
Based on figures from the CBO and Joint Committee on Taxation, federal taxes would increase by a total of $423 billion in 2013, if the tax cuts are allowed to expire.[54] The non-partisan Tax Policy Center has estimated that for 83% of households in the U.S. there would be an average tax increase of $3,701[56] and The Heritage Foundation stated that those impacted by the tax cut expiry are primarily in the middle- and low-income groups, with its research finding that families would experience an average tax increase of $4,138.[57]However, a report from the CBO found that extending the tax cuts and spending policies would lead to federal debt increasing to over 90% of U.S. gross domestic product by 2022, but the debt would reduce to 61% of gross domestic product by 2022 if the tax cuts expire. In order to prevent a future economic crisis, the CBO has advised that any policy that is agreed must provide the same level of funding that the spending cuts and tax increases would have provided.[52]The expiration of the tax cuts is opposed by Republicans including those on the House Ways and Means Committee, which is producing a bill to propose a one-year extension that would ensure that federal tax rates for all income levels, capital gains, dividends and death taxes would remain the same. The bill would also retain tax credits including the child tax credit but would propose ending the current payroll-tax cut.[58] The Democrat-majority Senate is in favor of extending only those tax cuts that affect middle class taxpayers.[59]End the Bush tax cuts and start over
By William Gale, Special to CNN
updated 8:03 AM EDT, Thu July 12, 2012William Gale says President Obama's tax cut plan has good features but could be made better.STORY HIGHLIGHTS- William Gale says some tax cuts makes sense in light of economic weakness
- He says limiting tax cuts to lower levels of income also is appropriate
- Gale says it's not true that higher taxes for higher incomes would hurt small business
- Gale: A better framework would scrap all of the Bush tax cuts and impose different cuts
Editor's note: William Gale is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and co-director of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.Washington (CNN) -- Earlier this week, President Barack Obama proposed to extend the Bush-era income tax cuts, which expire at the end of this year, for one year for people with income below $250,000. People with higher income would continue to receive all of the benefits of lower taxes on their first $250,000 of income, but the tax rate they face on income above that amount would rise.One might wonder why we need more tax cuts, given that the Congressional Budget Office just released a study showing that tax burdens as a share of income for almost all households were the lowest in 2009 that they have been in decades and given that we face a long-term deficit problem that will require more revenues over time.The answer, of course, is that taxes are slated to rise at the end of this year, an increase that if allowed in full, along with scheduled spending cuts that came out of the debt limit budget deal in 2011, would hurt an already weakly recovering economy in the short-term and possibly push it back into recession, if not counteracted. The president's proposal would substantially reduce the extent to which taxes are slated to rise.William GaleThe president's unwillingness to keep Bush-era tax rates for households with the highest income has been criticized on grounds that it will hurt job-creation efforts and in particular small businesses. These criticisms can be overstated, however.First, in our current economy, with significant number of unemployed workers, job creation will depend much more on creating an economic stimulus -- that is, by cutting tax levels and by boosting spending by federal, state and local governments and by the private sector -- than a slightly lower marginal tax rate.GOP: Tax increases are economic poison
Second, the net tax rate businesses actually pay on new investment and new hires, not the tax rate listed in the tax law, is what should drive business choices. The "effective tax rate" takes into account that small businesses can generally write off all of their investment as a deduction in the year the investment is made. This is sometimes called section 179 expensing.This provision reduces the effective tax rate on new investment financed by the business owner to zero. Yes, zero, because any tax on future investment returns will simply pay the government back for the cost of the deduction. This is true no matter what the tax bracket is for the taxpayer.Indeed, if they can finance the investment with tax deductible debt payments, small businesses will face an effective tax rate that is actually negative.Likewise, the calculus of hiring a new worker should take into account the fact that wage payments are deductible for businesses. Hence, if the law imposes a higher statutory tax rate on higher incomes, while it will raise the tax that has to be paid on the proceeds from new investment and new hiring, it also will raise the value of the deductions that most small businesses can take from the new investment and new hiring, and in a way that exactly balances out.Third, much of the income for small businesses comes in the form of capital gains, which would continue to face a much lower rate than ordinary income.Fourth, the vast majority, 97%, of people who receive most of their income from business sources are not in the top two tax brackets. Small businesses are essentially used sometimes as a "poster child" by those who wish to avoid higher taxes on other income at high income levels.Still, while the president's proposal recognizes the need to avoid running straight off the fiscal cliff next January, it could be improved.First, it does not do enough to promote economic growth in the near term. The economy would still be facing tax increases (due to the end of the temporary payroll tax cut) and government spending cuts (due to the budget deal).In an economy that is struggling to reduce unemployment, these restrictive measures will not help. European countries have seen the failure of austerity policies and the effects would have the same impact here too.Rather, the economy needs a bigger stimulus, with a bigger bang for the buck. This could take the form of payroll tax cuts, infrastructure investments and federal aid to states and localities, which have had to cut back on jobs and education and other forms of spending.Second, the president's proposal prolongs highly partisan debates about the Bush tax cuts and which should be extended and for how long.A better way to stimulate the economy and move the broader debate forward would be to let all of the Bush tax cuts expire as scheduled and be considered as part of a broader tax reform and medium-term deficit reduction effort, and institute instead an explicitly temporary cut, again a payroll tax cut comes to mind.Regardless of the fate of the president's proposal, policy makers need to address the weakly recovering economy and build toward a sustainable long-term tax and fiscal solution.Follow @CNNOpinion on TwitterJoin us at Facebook/CNNOpinionThe opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of William Gale.I AGREE WITH WILLIAM GALE, BUT WE CAN DO THIS WITHOUT STIMULUS LIKE WE ARE DOING NOW:STATE-BY-STATE STRATEGIC UNEMPLOYMENT REDUCTION PLAN: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L2ZmGM-izViR2QkN_ RRhV9lG82z-n7VZcUpetHQi2F0/ edit 30 STATES IN 30 WEEKS: http://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm TEA PARTY SLATES REDUCING FEDERAL WORKFORCE 1/5, REPEAL BY INJUNCTION TO HIRE WITHOUT OBAMACARE, 30 STATE UNEMPLOYMENT REDUCTION STRATEGY BY RETURNING 30 MILLION-150 MILLION ON FEDERAL PAYROLL TO PRIVATE SECTOR WITH GRANTS TO HIRE AND CREATE JOBS...Federal, state, local employees 150 million relieved to work in private sector/create small businessesWEEKLY TEA PARTY NEWSLETTER FEATURES 1 STATE PER WEEK,AS ROMNEY TAKES 1 STATE PER WEEK, FOR 30 WEEKSTEA PARTY BUDGET $2.5 TRILLION ANNUAL REVENUE http://lnk.ms/Wb6nVThe Tea Party is here to REFORM and REVOLUTIONIZE -- D.C. - 37 fed pgms. to be cut/govt. employees don't contribute as private sector employees: it takes 5 private sector employees to fund one govt. employee=Tea Party to shrink federal workforce 150 million employees to private sector.... 150 million federal employees need to get a federal grant NOW, and start your OWN small business, BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR JOB TO CUTS !!!!WE WOULD THEN HAVE TO MONITOR SPENDING AND CREATE MORE JOBS TO MAKE GOOD ON OUR ANNUAL DEFICIT REDUCTION PAYMENT OF $1.7 TRILLION, THIS WOULD MAINLY COME FROM THE 30 MILLION JOBS THAT WERE LOST DUE TO OBAMACARE AS PEOPLE GO BACK TO WORK NOW, AS THIS POLICY ISN’T LEVIED AS A $2 TRILLION BURDEN BY THE HOUSE BY THE 7/11/12 REPEAL VOTE.

LOCAL/STATE BUDGET MATTERS:
TAX REVENUE IS UP 5% FOR GEORGIA, BUT THERE WILL BE NO INCREASE IN SPENDING IN ADHERENCE TO CONSERVATIVE BUDGET AND MAINTAINING SURPLUS. WITH THAT IN MIND.....
T-SPLOST IN GEORGIA DOES 3 THINGS:
1) Creates immediate jobs that can be filled by those rotting in jails, as we outsource people to the labor force in getting their sentence truncated or re-sentenced for fines, or put on work release. This would alleviate a huge tax burden in housing those in jail for mandatory minimums, and it would be a huge source of new revenue in the form of fines, new tax revenue, and spending to put these people to work. It is not only good for financial reasons, it also a good means of restoration and the right thing to do. This will be a part of federal judicial reform, as GA has piloted drug reform laws.
2) T-SPLOST does not use federal stimulus dollars: where people ride the clock and take forever to complete projects. This means we can actually upgrade schools and colleges, once we have a decent road to get there on, and then pay that back with the increase in revenue, as the Governor considers charter schools and other education reforms, (like requiring a Bachelor’s degree by 25 and raising the legal age to 25, as the brain reaches full maturity then).
3) T-SPLOST prevents heavy increases on property taxes. It is supposed to loosen the budget restrictions and burdens as local communities approve the project list. This means more money that can be spent or invested, which creates jobs.Aja Brooks
Yesterday
We are still reviewing the T-SPLOST projects, but unlike Chip Rogers and others of the Black Caucus who were pushing it and now are against it, I would measure the integrity of their votes on the fact that Chip Rogers promotes gambling which monopolizes off of people who are weak and gamble all of their money away, and that Vincent Ford is an Occutard and supports insurrection. Debbie Dooley is just against anything that she doesn't understand or that she sees as a tax increase, as she lacks the vision to see the big picture. I am not worried about how their voices or votes will affect T-SPLOST: the projects will stand or fall on their own merit, because voters have long not trusted the partisan politics of the black caucus, NAACP, Republican overlording, and Capitol T.E.A. being quick to whistle falsely. For me, this is not about a position or ideology, it is about walking through the projects to make a determined vote, and right now, I have not determined to vote against it. HAPPY VOTING !!

Haggai 1:9
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
Churlish souls stint their contributions to the ministry and missionary operations, and call such saving good economy; little do they dream that they are thus impoverishing themselves. Their excuse is that they must care for their own families, and they forget that to neglect the house of God is the sure way to bring ruin upon their own houses. Our God has a method in providence by which He can succeed our endeavours beyond our expectation, or can defeat our plans to our confusion and dismay; by a turn of His hand He can steer our vessel in a profitable channel, or run it aground in poverty and bankruptcy. It is the teaching of Scripture that the Lord enriches the liberal and leaves the miserly to find out that withholding tendeth to poverty. In a very wide sphere of observation, I have noticed that the most generous Christians of my acquaintance have been always the most happy, and almost invariably the most prosperous. I have seen the liberal giver rise to wealth of which he never dreamed; and I have as often seen the mean, ungenerous churl descend to poverty by the very parsimony by which he thought to rise. Men trust good stewards with larger and larger sums, and so it frequently is with the Lord; He gives by cartloads to those who give by bushels. Where wealth is not bestowed the Lord makes the little much by the contentment which the sanctified heart feels in a portion of which the tithe has been dedicated to the Lord. Selfishness looks first at home, but godliness seeks first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, yet in the long run selfishness is loss, and godliness is great gain. It needs faith to act towards our God with an open hand, but surely He deserves it of us; and all that we can do is a very poor acknowledgment of our amazing indebtedness to His goodness.
