			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a deep disturbing pertinent valuable bit of information, which was basically kept under wraps and stymied by the main stream media, but as usual, it was brought to light and enhanced by cable television. This is relating to the fact that the Texas State Board of Education is currently discussing to aggressively attack and altering the course of almost all phases of our heritage. They are definitely, with out a doubt, considering to revamp our American history and roots, by their own interpretations, severely changing the structure of their educational textbooks, which are administered to all school age children. This is just another form of brainwashing, which was used by the Communists, especially by brutal murderous Chinese dictator, the butcher, Chairman Mao Se Tung</p>
<p>This you might ask, why would this evaluation and assessment in Texas has any relevance that concerns me, my family and my children? Especially when we don’t live in Texas?</p>
<p>When any elected or appointed bureaucrat thinks in their own mind, that they have the ultimate gall, and the egotistical audacity to change one word of our sacred history, we must take exception to this insult and vigorously protest their self centered arrogance and idiocy, loud and clear. We must use every extreme legal measures and aggressive actions at our disposal, to change this destructive course.</p>
<p>Imagine that some Liberal Socialist Marxist Democrat has the potentiality of undermining the importance of our brave, courageous and brilliant forefathers, our heroes, our Constitution, the Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Forth of July and all we hold near and dear, relating to our legacy, rewriting it to fit their own radical agenda.</p>
<p>This untruthful abomination must be stopped in its tracks, demanding from these social studies barbarians of American history a vocal and written apology. That must include a resignation, for even considering they had the right, privilege and intellect of performing this sacrilegious atrocity without obtaining any permission, justification or approval from the parents, guardians, taxpayers, educators and students of the school district and the American people. </p>
<p>We all must stand united to protect our Country, of the people, by the people and for the people. This is solid proof that we are losing our rights and liberties from a run away self serving government. These individuals obviously feel they can do anything, and answer or be accountable to no one.</p>
<p>We must also accept part of the blame by being complacent, sitting on our hands for years, allowing each school district to dictate all educational requirements and policies. This increased their obnoxious behavior which manufactured their “self proclaimed drunk with power” existence.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Texas is the principal front runner of developing educational textbooks, which are acknowledged, followed, used and purchased by of other States in the Union. They are very close in finalizing and approving these social study changes. Once again our children are going to be used as pawns, creating a generation of historical illiterates. Who knows what lies and innuendoes will surface? Who knows what disgraceful accusations will be branded on our beloved Country of the United States of America.</p>
<p>Will any of our American heroes be portrayed incorrectly as heartless homicidal maniacs, demeaning their essential contributions to our survival and free existence? Will any of them be eliminated from our history, as non-entities? Will they blame all of the worlds horrific violent times on the so called fabricated American Imperialism.<br />
 <br />
Our children are our most precious natural resources that must be truthfully taught our rightful past, without any mistrustful propaganda. They must be protected with all our powers and strength, to our fullest extent. We must not allow this counterfeit mind forming indoctrination of our adolescence happen. This Country belongs to the people, not to the Texas State Board of Education or any selfish bureaucrat. Stand up America, and exercise your Bill of Rights and sacred freedoms, because if you don’t they will shrink and waste away.<br />
 <br />
The next and final meeting, before it goes to publication, barring any schedule changes, concerning this matter will be held in March, 2010, before the projected and target date of May 2010 for publication. Contact them as soon as possible, protesting and demanding,  that they will submit to the will of the people, by keeping the honest image of our nations past. Remember history repeats itself, so how can we ever learn from a fictitious fable of invalid interpretations.<br />
Take back our American pride and respect that was disrespectfully relinquished by our President Barack Hussein Obama, “The Chosen One” and his Socialist Administration, is also now expanding and overflowing to the State and Local Governments. Question their motives, don’t roll over, and don’t allow these social thugs to progressively continue to humiliate and degrade our Country any further to the vultures’ of the world. Stand up, never surrender, be accounted and most of all don’t be intimidated. You are a very special free human being; you are an American and never forget, “one can change many”.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyday there’s a new foul stench resurrecting from the bowels of this Administration, relating to atrocities initiated by appointed officials, who serve at the will of the President. These appalling individuals of the lowest demented esteem are located in high levels of our government. They administer advice and set policy in all capacities of federal operations. They can be found and sometimes hidden in all bureaucratic departments and levels of our government. They have undocumented unapproved and unknown powers granted to them by our President, Barack Hussein Obama, “The Chosen One,” which can also set precedents, even if they are unconstitutional. These are initiated for the most part, right under our noses, but few are publicly brought to a rightful warranted legibility of pertinent information. </p>
<p>They are without a doubt a secret army full of bigoted Socialist narrow minded mental midgets that are hand picked, by our President, and ignoring the vetting process. It was also discovered that some had very close past associations with him. His selections are creating an uncomplimentary label, “etched in stone” identifying himself and his Administration, as pathetic legends of unethical life controlling, self acknowledged demigods. They obviously suggest that our United States Constitution is just another obstacle to their eventual takeover? </p>
<p>Even though we have many hypocritical public servants that mirror this image, there’s one in particular, that must be unmasked and revealed. He gives new meaning to a government full of immoral forced compliance that is related to the ideologies of Socialism, Communism, Nazism, and Fascism with the reverent teachings of Karl Marx.</p>
<p>His name is Harry Knox. He is a member of President Barack Hussein Obama “The Chosen One’s” Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnership. The main objective of this Agency and Charter states that ‘it will work on behalf of Americans committed to improving their communities, no matter their religious beliefs or political beliefs”.</p>
<p>His appointment must have either been a terrible mistake, or purposely and strategically placed to insult a percentage of the American populous. This insensitive dogmatist is constantly insulting and humiliating the Catholic faith and Pope Benedict XVI. It seems as though Obama goes out of his way to promote bias and hostility, by appointing individuals equivalent to his personal partiality, associated with belligerent and antagonistic behavior towards preferred organizations that are on his and their hit list.<br />
Anyone who is capable of aggressively dictating, criticizing, harassing, condemning, and censoring, by showing unconscionable belligerent tendencies towards the head of any church or leader of any house of worship, that has either one or a multitude of supporters, shows an absolut lack of respect and cannot be trusted to fairly work with these orgaizations. The Pope is reverently called the Holy Father and and head of the Catholic Church. Knox’s obstinate behavior proves that he has no ability, capablity or desire to affirm and enforce his agency’s creed on improving communities, by expressing no tolerance towards a selected religious or political beliefs. He should either resign or be terminated at the earliest possible convenivence.</p>
<p>When he uses his appointed government position to treacherously portray, betray and belittle any targeted legitimate cultural groups, organizations, principles, philosophies or beliefs, by expressing his own opinionated garbage of unauthorized vicious, sarcastic comments of malicious judgments, it attacks us all as Americans.</p>
<p>Every American citizen should be outraged, even if they don’t follow or adhere to the teachings of Catholicism. If we all sit back and do nothing then when will it stop? This brings to mind a quote and speech made by Pastor Martin Niemoller, concerning the Nazi’s rise to power, which was:</p>
<p> “When the Nazis came for the Communists, I remained silent; I was not a Communist. When they locked up the Social Democrats, I remained silent; I was not a Social Democrat. When they came for the Trade Unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a Trade Unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn&#8217;t a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out”</p>
<p>Isn’t it quit ironic that the persecuted groups mentioned in Pastor Niemoller speech, which are the Communist, Social Democrats and the Trade Unionist are reversing their roles and trying to force, empower, and impose their ideology, lack of ethics, morals, values, viewpoints and thinking, on us all. They are vehemently trying to eliminate individuals valued philosophies, attitudes and ideals, that don’t meet with their twisted standards, while trying to stymie all our freedoms and liberties, in America today. </p>
<p>The Socialist Marxist Democrats are attempting to force us to purchase healthcare insurance, while controlling all measures of our health. They want to suppress our freedom of speech. They want to take away our right to bear arms. They want to tell us what car to buy, what fuel to use, how to go to work, what temperature your bath water should be, what type light bubs to use, the maximum water capacity your toilet tank must use to flush, brain washing our children and their education process, what to read, what and how to eat and drink, constantly blaming America for the worlds problems, is this a free society? The list continues to grow everyday, with more bites taken from our freedoms while limiting our personal choices.</p>
<p>Think about it, we are slowing being absorbed in a government controlled environment of mindless existence. They spinelessly prey on, intimidate, and mock, with no remorse or responsibility, selected passive organizations, groups, religions, races, creeds, cultures and national origins, for their own self ruthlessness uselessness and ineffectiveness, leading directly to developing their mandatory dominance.</p>
<p>We must keep an ever watchful eye on all of them, by loudly protesting all their words deeds, actions, and ambiguous statements, that attempt to diminish our freedoms. We must never sit back and become complacent. The Progressives will not stop pecking away until we’re broken completely, we must put a halt to this insanity without hesitation. We must stop their arm twisting cycle of Socialistic madness. This is America, land of the free and home of the brave; all freedoms that are guaranteed by our United States Constitution must be protected and preserved, eliminating all prejudices, forced conformity and opinionated falsehoods. God Bless America!</p>

<p>According to the Trustees for the Social Security Administration, &#8220;There will not be a cost of living increase for the next two years in Social Security benefits. Additionally they will raise your co-pay for your prescription Medicare benefits&#8221;. Both Parties in Congress stated an increase is not warranted because of the losses in gross national product among other secondary reasons. This is not the best part.</p>
<p>Hold your breath and lock the weapons before you continue.</p>
<p>The Social Security administration is funding 24 Million for new electric medical records processing for Congress. They obtain these funds as Quoted by the Social Security Website; &#8220;This money will come from the savings generated from withholding&#8230; Cost of living increases for 2010 and 2011 in Social Security benefits for the elderly and a 2 dollar increase on all Medicare prescription benefit co-pay&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Please Share this with your friends in hope for instead of change a change back in the 2010 elections. Just off the heels of Congress voting themselves another 3% increase 2010 is a must before the ball breaks.</p>
<p>We must put a stop to this outright thievery! It is The Congress and the Senate, both parties, that have feel into the slippery hands of gluttony. We can&#8217;t fire them, we surely can&#8217;t re-elect them, they can only impeach themselves, and we can&#8217;t change the rules, but we can vote.</p>
<p>Just watch, they will spend this money and find the software doesn&#8217;t work, dump the whole thing and go back to the old steam driven system like they did with air traffic control several years ago.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gq1_yahoo1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1888" title="gq1_yahoo" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gq1_yahoo1-150x150.jpg" alt="gq1_yahoo" width="150" height="150" /></a>I got shot down over North Vietnam in 1967, after I returned in 1973 I published 2 books that dealt a lot with the real torture in Hanoi . Our make believe President is branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has no idea what torture is. I was put through a mock execution; pistol whipped on the head, and repeated every Couple of days. Other days I&#8217;d be hung by my feet all day. I escaped and a couple of weeks later only to get shot and recaptured. Being shot was nothing compared to what happened afterwards.</p>
<p>The enemy marched me to Vinh and put me in the rope trick almost pulling my arms out of their sockets. They Beat me on the head to a pulp with a little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut. The next day I was hung by the arms re-breaking my right wrist, wiping out the nerves that control the hands, as my fingers rolled up into a ball. The only feeling left was the slightest movement in my left forefinger. So I started answering with some incredible lies. This got me sent to Hanoi strapped to a barrel of gas in the back of a truck.</p>
<p>In Hanoi on my knees the rope trick was preformed again. I was beaten by a big fool put into leg irons on a bed in the Heartbreak Hotel. With Much kneeling, my hands up at the Zoo the really bad beating started for refusing to condemn Lyndon Johnson. after several more kneeling events I could see my knee bone through the kneeling holes. There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo and because I was the Senior Officer of a large building after the escape attempt they started a mass torture of all commanders.</p>
<p>I think it was July 7, 1969 when they started beating me with a car fan belt. In the first 2 days I took over 300 strokes then stopped counting because I never thought I would live thru it. They continued day and night torturing to get me to confess to a non-existent part in the escape. This went on for at least 3 days. On my knees taking the fan belting the fan belt cut open my scrotum on a stroke that I&#8217;ll never forget. They opened up both knee holes again and my fanny looked like hamburger meat. I could not lie on my back. They tortured me into admitting that I was in on the escape and that my 2 room-mates knew about it. The next day I denied the lie. They commenced torturing me again with 3, 6, or 9 strokes of the fan belt every day from about July 11 or 12rh..to 14 October 1969. I continued to refuse to lie about my roommates again.</p>
<p>The point of this is that our make-believe President has declared to the world that we (U.S..) are a bunch of torturers. Thus it will be OK to torture us next time they catch us because that is what the U.S. does. Our President is a know nothing fool who thinks that pouring a little water on someone&#8217;s face, or hanging a pair of women’s pants over an Arabs head is TORTURE. He is a meathead. I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness, who was also in my squadron, in jail as was John McCain, and we agree that McCain does not speak for the POW group when he claims that Al Gharib was torturer or that &#8220;water boarding&#8221; is torture.</p>
<p>Our president and those fools around him who keep bad mouthing our great country are a disgrace to the United States. Please pass this info on to Sean Hannity. He is free to use it to point out the stupidity of the claims that water boarding, which has no after effect, is torture. If it got the Arab to cough up the story about how he planned the attack on the twin towers in NYC hurrah for the guy who poured the water.</p>
<p>George Everett &#8220;Bud&#8221; Day (born February 24, 1925) is a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and Command Pilot who served during the Vietnam War. He is often cited as being the most decorated U.S. service member since General Douglas MacArthur, having received some seventy decorations, a majority for actions in combat. Day is a recipient of the Medal of Honor.</p>

When the ACLU files a suit to have religious artifacts and symbols banned from Government structures, though it is not intended for headstones, one can see how one day their suit can be manipulated to enforce the issues mentioned in this post.</span></p>

General Eisenhower Warned America&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8216;Get it all on record now &#8211; get the films &#8211; get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened&#8217;</p>
<p> <br />
<a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT00463.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1784" title="ATT00463" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT00463-150x150.jpg" alt="ATT00463" width="150" height="150" /></a>When The Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken. He commanded the German patrons of the surrounding towns and villages be ushered through the camps. Eisenhower forced them to bury the dead. His explanation for these actions is profoundly, yet surprising more relevant today then in those days of complete horror.</p>
<p>Our children&#8217;s history books are being diluted of patriotism, American value, and parts and pieces to what formed the beauty <a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT004691.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1791" title="ATT00469" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT004691-150x150.jpg" alt="ATT00469" width="150" height="150" /></a>that is America each year they are updated. This week the UK debated whether to remove the Holocaust from its school curriculum because it &#8216;offends&#8217; the Muslim population. They, the terror, gun slinging, death before reason or debate Muslim people claim it never occurred. Currently the Holocaust is still present, however it frightening knowing how often liberal agenda almost certainly comes to fruition as their debate exhaust opposition into cowering to the minority among us in contradiction to the majority of democracy. Fear is gripping the world regarding this issue a result of most countries or districts in these countries including America considering debate on the issue. </p>
<p> It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.</p>
<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT00466.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1785" title="ATT00466" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT00466-150x150.jpg" alt="ATT00466" width="150" height="150" /></a>This posting continues the efforts an e-mail being sent as a memorial chain in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were &#8216;murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated&#8217; while the German people looked the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be &#8216;a myth,&#8217; it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT00472.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1787" title="ATT00472" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ATT00472-150x150.jpg" alt="ATT00472" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center? &#8216;NEVER HAPPENED&#8217; because it offends some Muslim in the U.S.?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ft-devens-mass.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1734" title="ft-devens-mass" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ft-devens-mass-150x150.jpg" alt="ft-devens-mass" width="150" height="150" /></a>There over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general&#8217;s signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached. Ask yourself if you really want to be on Ashcroft&#8217;s list.</p>
<p>The Rex 84 Program was established on the reasoning that if a &#8220;mass exodus&#8221; of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA. Rex 84 allowed many military bases to be closed down and to be turned into prisons.</p>
<p>Operation Cable Splicer and Garden Plot are the two sub programs which will be implemented once the Rex 84 program is initiated for its proper purpose. Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government. FEMA is the executive arm of the coming police state and thus will head up all operations. The Presidential Executive Orders already listed on the Federal Register also are part of the legal framework for this operation.</p>
<p>The camps all have railroad facilities as well as roads leading to and from the detention facilities. Many also have an airport nearby. The majority of the camps can house a population of 20,000 prisoners. Currently, the largest of these facilities is just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The Alaskan facility is a massive mental health facility and can hold approximately 2 million people.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s review the justification for any actions taken&#8230;</p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 14.25pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen&#8230;</span></p>

He and his helper deliver gifts under the New Year tree, or yolka, which is traditionally a fir.</p>

Thousands of lights adorn the tree, adding to the special enchantment of the city during the holiday season.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A bit of History:</span></strong></p>
<p>From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.</p>
<ul>
<li>The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.</li>
<li>Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.</li>
<li>Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.</li>
<li>The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke &amp; John.</li>
<li>The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.</li>
<li>The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.</li>
<li>Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit&#8211;Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.</li>
<li>The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.</li>
<li>Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit&#8211;Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.</li>
<li>The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.</li>
<li>The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.</li>
<li>The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles&#8217; Creed.</li>

The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He&#8217;s done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cid_1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1698" title="!cid_1" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cid_1.jpg" alt="!cid_1" width="341" height="245" /></a>The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,<br />
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.<br />
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,<br />
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.<br />
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,<br />
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.</p>
<p>The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,<br />
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.<br />
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,<br />
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.<br />
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,<br />
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.</p>
<p>The sound wasn&#8217;t loud, and it wasn&#8217;t too near,<br />
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.<br />
Perhaps just a cough, I didn&#8217;t quite know, Then the<br />
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.<br />
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,<br />
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.</p>
<p>Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,<br />
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.<br />
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,<br />
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.<br />
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,<br />
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.</p>
<p>&#8220;What are you doing?&#8221; I asked without fear,<br />
&#8220;Come in this moment, it&#8217;s freezing out here!<br />
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,<br />
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!&#8221;<br />
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,<br />
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..</p>
<p>To the window that danced with a warm fire&#8217;s light<br />
Then he sighed and he said &#8220;Its really all right,<br />
I&#8217;m out here by choice. I&#8217;m here every night.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s my duty to stand at the front of the line,<br />
That separates you from the darkest of times.</p>
<p>No one had to ask or beg or implore me,<br />
I&#8217;m proud to stand here like my fathers before me.<br />
My Gramps died at &#8216; Pearl on a day in December,&#8221;<br />
Then he sighed, &#8220;That&#8217;s a Christmas &#8216;Gram always remembers.&#8221;<br />
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of &#8216; Nam &#8216;,<br />
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve not seen my own son in more than a while,<br />
But my wife sends me pictures, he&#8217;s sure got her smile.<br />
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,<br />
The red, white, and blue&#8230; an American flag.<br />
I can live through the cold and the being alone,<br />
Away from my family, my house and my home.</p>
<p>I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,<br />
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.<br />
I can carry the weight of killing another,<br />
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..<br />
Who stand at the front against any and all,<br />
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall..&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8221; So go back inside,&#8221; he said, &#8220;harbor no fright,<br />
Your family is waiting and I&#8217;ll be all right.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;But isn&#8217;t there something I can do, at the least,<br />
&#8220;Give you money,&#8221; I asked, &#8220;or prepare you a feast?<br />
It seems all too little for all that you&#8217;ve done,<br />
For being away from your wife and your son.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,<br />
&#8220;Just tell us you love us, and never forget.<br />
To fight for our rights back at home while we&#8217;re gone,<br />
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.<br />
For when we come home, either standing or dead,<br />
To know you remember we fought and we bled.<br />
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,<br />
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bill Clinton forbade the carrying of guns on military bases and ships and Israelis became baffled by News of Defenseless US Soldiers. Fort Hood is an arguable result if this declaration and the Congressmen who support it.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>I prefer dangerous liberty to peaceful servitude</em>,&#8221; Thomas Jefferson</p>
<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gq1_yahoo.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1693" title="gq1_yahoo" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gq1_yahoo-150x150.jpg" alt="gq1_yahoo" width="105" height="105" /></a>Many Israelis want to know, why didn&#8217;t the soldiers attacked by a U.S. Army-Major turned terrorist return fire? In Israel when a Muslim attempts similar acts they are often shot dead before he can take lives within seconds of screaming &#8220;Allah Akbar.&#8221; In contrast with the Israeli experience, it took 10 minutes before a civilian police officer at Fort Hood was able to shoot and stop Muslim fanatic Nidal Malik Hasan.</p>
<p>How could that happen? How could soldiers trained in modern warfare be held defenseless?</p>
<p>The answer may astonish Americans, the victims were unarmed. U.S. soldiers are not allowed to carry guns for personal protection, even on a 340-acre base quartering more than 50,000 troops. Fort Hood is a &#8220;gun free&#8221; zone, via the regulations adopted in one of the very first acts signed into law by the anti-gun agenda of President Bill Clinton, congressional supporters, and other liberal activist on March, 1993. <a href="http://www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r190_14.pdf" target="_blank">Read the facts for yourself</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cid_2_2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1694" title="!cid_2_2" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cid_2_2-150x150.jpg" alt="!cid_2_2" width="105" height="105" /></a>Facts: in addition to soldiers, Israeli teachers are also armed suggesting a version of the Virginia Tech slaughter highly unlikely in an Israeli university. Israelis have had to combat terrorism most their lives, and are conditioned to not fear the carrying ore using of firearms. They are an armed people, ready, willing, and able to defend themselves and their country. Unlike some indoctrinated Americans, paralyzed by fear and political correctness, Israelis understand that people, not guns, kill people.</p>

<p>Crude oil doesn&#8217;t smell to good, but this deal stinks to the Gods.</p>
<p>Finally, Offshore Oil Exploration gets approved and funded, however you need to read the rest of the story.</p>
<p>This was not reported on any of the mainstream news outlets such as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or MSNBC. On 20 August 2009 the Glen Beck Show Fox Cable News the following statement was read:</p>
<p>&#8220;Today even though President Obama is against offshore drilling for oil for this country. He signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion plus of taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company. Petrobras, the 8th largest company in the entire world, will be loaned the funds to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil. The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and not the USA . The Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil&#8221;.</p>
<p>The American People have absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever and it gets more interesting. The largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company, who would benefit most from this is American Billionaire, George Soros, the radical left wing liberal businessman who finances <a href="http://moveon.org/" target="_blank">MoveOn.org</a>, other liberal organizations, and President Obama&#8217;s largest supporter during his campaign.</p>
<p>Connecting the dots and following the money should rattle Americans into fear and outrage. Not a word of this transaction aired on any other news networks.</p>
<p>Forward this factual e-mail to others who care about this country, so they may see where it is going. Is this the change Obama promised?</p>
<p>As a fellow American I urge you to <a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/emaillist.html">email your Congressmen</a>amd if their not make them aware of your outrage. Demand an answer to the conflict of intrest clearly visable to the observant indivisual.</p>
<p>For the Nay-Sayers, the Disbelievers. the Republican Bashers, and especially the BHO Cheering Section, here is the proof:</p>
<p>On 18 August 2009 &#8211; &#8220;The Wall Street Journal&#8221; published the same news:<br />

</span></strong><em>A Brave Lady</em></p>
<p>Irena Sendler a 98 year old German lady recently died and is remembered for her selfless heroic actions during WWII. knowing the Nazi&#8217;s plan for the Jews Irena got permission to work as a Plumbing and Sewer specialist in the Warsaw Ghetto. Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck for the larger kids. She had a dog in the truck bed trained to silence the children&#8217;s voices by barking when the Nazis let her through the gates of the Ghetto. Irena managed to save 2500 children before she was caught. The Nazi&#8217;s broke her legs, arms, and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the kids names in a glass jar buried under a tree in her back yard and after the war tried to locate the surviving parents reuniting them. Those children whose parents had been executed by gas Irena helped get placed into foster families and adopted.<a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cid_0.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1740" title="!cid_0" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cid_0-150x150.jpg" alt="!cid_0" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected in a year when Al Gore was awarded the prize for his Slide Show on Global Warming. The following cartoon revisits a powerful message 63 years old when after the second world war in Europe ended six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated. Read it carefully and please comment to show respect for her family as they may enjoy your thoughts and wishes for their loved one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/10052God-Bless-America-Posters-279x350.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1722" title="10052God-Bless-America-Posters-279x350" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/10052God-Bless-America-Posters-279x350-150x150.jpg" alt="10052God-Bless-America-Posters-279x350" width="150" height="150" /></a>We are speeding towards one world government and the second coming at a rapid pace. I remember reading about the children of Israel who turned from God time and time again, only to realize their mistake and pray for forgiveness. Each time, God would forgive them and they would walk with him for a time. So, I am going to ask you to join me in praying for our nation every day. God is in control!</p>
<p>Our president did not encourage participation in the National Day of Prayer. He called it an event. He thinks it should be private prayer instead of Public Prayer.</p>
<p>May God Have Mercy On America &amp; Protect Our Troops In Texarkana last week, there were signs in people&#8217;s yards that said, &#8220;America, prayer our only hope&#8221; with 2 Chronicles 7:14 underneath. We certainly need God&#8217;s help!</p>
<p>I have no idea who started this, but I certainly agree with this article. I heard a preacher on TV tonight who said if we pray for our nation that things will turn around. After a day of contemplation and soul searching, I have decided to reach out to my friends and relatives and ask you to d something that has been troubling me for a long time.<a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/america1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1723" title="america1" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/america1-150x150.jpg" alt="america1" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Our nation is and has been on the slippery slope for a long time. If you look around you will find corruption, greed, moral<a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/america1.jpg"></a> decay, and a steady move away from the things that made us great. The principles upon which this nation was founded are no longer our backbone. However, we can reverse this trend.</p>
<p>2 Chronicles 7:14 in God&#8217;s word he states, &#8220;If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.&#8221;</p>
<p>I am convinced that we must pray for our nation and its leaders and ask for forgiveness. So I ask you to join me in this plea to our Lord.</p>
<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/vintage-patriotic-american-flag-god-bless-america11.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1725" title="vintage-patriotic-american-flag-god-bless-america1" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/vintage-patriotic-american-flag-god-bless-america11.jpg" alt="vintage-patriotic-american-flag-god-bless-america1" width="145" height="93" /></a>Please share this through one of the methods below this post and pray for America. (25 to the 5th power is 9,765,625 people.) Imagine if each person reaches 10 others or all 25! If you do and they comply, we will lift up millions and millions of prayers a day to our Creator. He will hear us and in faith will answer.</p>
<p>Let me just add a quote from Ronald Reagan. &#8220;If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.&#8221; I truly believe this is why the United States of America is in the shape we are in today. Most people have forgotten that we are one nation under God! Let us as Christians stand up and remind people of this!</p>

</span><em>To represent all Christians old, present, and new who created, maintain, and continue what is the beauty of America, A gift truly from God.</em></p>
<p>Please comment yes when you have shared this and show the world the power of God and inspire others as the number of comments grow&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/judge.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1227" title="judge" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/judge-150x150.jpg" alt="judge" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>The expedited trial has been set for Jan. 26, 2010!</p>
<p>Many concerned veterans and citizens attended the hearing in Federal Court in Santa Ana in the lawsuit against Barack Obama to determine his eligibility to be President and Commander in Chief.  About 150 people showed up, almost all in support of the lawsuit to demand that Obama release his birth certificate and other records that he has hidden from the American people.</p>
<p>Judge David Carter refused to hear Obama&#8217;s request for dismissal. He indicated there was almost no chance that this case would be dismissed. Obama is arguing this lawsuit was filed in the wrong court if you can believe that.  Obama would prefer a &#8220;kangaroo court&#8221; instead of a Federal court! Assuming Judge Carter denies Obama&#8217;s motion for dismissal, he will likely then order expedited discovery which will force Obama to release his birth certificate in a timely manner (if he has one).</p>
<p>The judge, WHO IS A FORMER U.S. MARINE, repeated several times that this is A VERY SERIOUS CASE which must be resolved quickly so that the troops know that their Commander in Chief is eligible to hold that position and issue lawful orders to our military in this time of war. He basically said OBAMA MUST PROVE HIS ELIGIBILITY to the court! He said Americans deserve to know the truth about their President!</p>
<p>The two U.S. Attorneys representing Barack Obama tried everything they could to sway the judge that this case was frivolous, but Carter would have none of it and cut them off several times.  Obama&#8217;s attorneys left the courtroom after about the 90 minute hearing looking defeated and nervous.</p>
<p>Great day in America for the U.S. Constitution!  The truth about Barack Obama&#8217;s eligibility will be known fairly soon &#8211; Judge Carter practically guaranteed it!</p>
<p>Video from the press conference after the hearing coming soon. Congratulations to plaintiff&#8217;s attorney Dr. Orly Taitz! She did a great job and won some huge victories.  She was fearless!</p>

Wednesday I witnessed a sight that rattled my patriotism and reminded me of small meetings in quiet alleys when the word freedom was only whispered. The Tea Party gatherings were the collective outrage of our constituents. It was the first time in my thirty four years I believed change could come. My wish is that we can take that unyielding scream for action and rise from our knees and renew our conviction that our voices will not fall to silence. No great reward comes without sacrifice and no great cause can witness its full potential without reason. We all gathered for something, most of which was scattered ideas and hope for change. I offer this one unifying PLEDGE to bring those gatherings into an undeniable protest for reform. Let us build on momentum and move forward. <a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/members.html">Join PledgeAmerica.org </a>and don’t let April 15th 2009 just be a day men gathered, but a day that changed the face of America and brought its Government back in control of its people. I have faith, Yes We Can. Let us now, this day, fight and carry forward the battle to wake our constituents and rise in victory with the valor of those who have died to give us these rights. Let there be a calling, writers be heard, artist be born, congressman be not afraid, citizens be free, today, be the day voices be screamed, and those who deny this strength be afraid. For this day we are on the mountain tops, in the streets, quiet alleys, stadiums, and in every corner of this great country, not whispering in fear but yelling a yelp that will be heard round the world. Join me brother, and make your pledge.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-275" href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/2009/12/do-you-remember-41509/btn_donatecc_lg-3/"></a></p>
<p>If you agree please forward this email and end the wasted breaths for change. Help answer the all to often question&#8230;&#8221;I don&#8217;t know how to fix it&#8230;Someone needs to do something&#8230;I don&#8217;t know how&#8230;but&#8230;?&#8221; The answer is a collective force to walk straight into battle with Moveon.org. They and others control Government. We can one day bring it back to its people. No one man can move a mountain but men gathered with purpose can tear it to the ground and rebuild it new. It is now citizens must sacrifice their time as congressmen should and <a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/members.html">join this organization</a>. When our work is done we will lay down the burden to the constitution and return to our lives and teach our children if need be they to one day should rise. Forward this and <a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/members.html">Join the Revolution</a>, or quiet your tongue and speak no more of change. Words or pointless without action in matters of country. Forward this and be of men who did more than wait for change. Echo those who died for freedom and respect those who rose to fight in its name. They were citizens exactly as you and I.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I look forward to working with you,</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">*When all through our land,*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Not a Christian was praying*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Nor taking a stand.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*See the PC Police had taken away,*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*The reason for Christmas &#8211; no one could say.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*It might hurt people&#8217;s feelings, the teachers would say*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">* December 25th is just a &#8216; Holiday &#8216;.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Something was changing, something quite odd! *</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*In hopes to sell books by Franken &amp; Fonda.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">* At Lowe&#8217;s the word Christmas &#8211; was no where to be found.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny&#8217;s and Sears*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*You won&#8217;t hear the word Christmas; it won&#8217;t touch your ears.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*So as you celebrate &#8216;Winter Break&#8217; under your &#8216;Dream Tree&#8217;*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS , not Happy Holiday !*</p>
<p>Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet during the holidays a MERRY CHRISTMAS.</p>
<p>Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season! If you agree please forward, if not, simply delete.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank You and</p>
<p>MERRY CHRISTMAS</p>

<em>Barack Obama is a lawyer.<br />
Michelle Obama is a lawyer.<br />
Hillary Clinton is a lawyer<br />
Bill Clinton is a lawyer.<br />
John Edwards is a lawyer.<br />
Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.</em><br />
<em>Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school  (although Gore did not graduate).</em><br />
<em>Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976,  except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.</em></p>
<p><strong>Democrat Party in Congress:</strong><br />
<em>Harry Reid is a lawyer.<br />
Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.</em></p>
<p><strong>The Republican Party is different:</strong><br />
<em>President Bush is a businessman.<br />
Vice President Cheney is a businessman.</em></p>
<p><strong>The leaders of the Republican Revolution:</strong><br />
<em>Newt Gingrich was a history professor.<br />
Tom Delay was an exterminator.<br />
Dick Armey was an economist.<br />
House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.<br />
The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.</em></p>
<p><strong>Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer?</strong><br />
Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against  Ronald Reagan in 1976.  The Republican Party is made up of real  people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.</p>
<p>The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers.  Democrats mock and  scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal  the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history,  like Gingrich.</p>
<p>The Lawyers&#8217; Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods  and services that people want, as the enemies of America. And,  so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes  of the Lawyers&#8217; Party, grow.</p>
<p><strong>Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?</strong>  Pharmaceutical companies,  oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant  chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing  anything of value in our nation.</p>
<p>This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the  eyes of lawyers.  Lawyers solve problems by successfully  representing their clients, in this case the American people.</p>
<p>Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits,  they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers  always parse language to favor their side.</p>
<p>Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers  begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as  opposing<br />
parties, then the role of the legal system in our life  becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become &#8220;adverse parties&#8221; of  our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social  class-action<br />
suit.  We are citizens of a republic that promises  us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from  lawyers.</p>
<p>Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in  all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws  and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president  is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers  and the law in America is too big. When lawyers use criminal  prosecution as a continuation of politics by other means, as  happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and Tom Delay, then the  power of lawyers in America is too great. When House Democrats sue  America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies  are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America  has become crushing.</p>
<p>We cannot expect the Lawyers&#8217; Party to provide real change, real reform or real hope in America. Most Americans know that a republic  in which every major government action must be blessed by nine  unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789. Most  Americans grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap  at the heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more  lawyers and judges will not restore declining moral values or  spark the spirit of enterprise in our economy.</p>
<p>Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to  our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American  society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does  not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams  nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth  that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.</p>
<p>The United States has 5% of the world&#8217;s population and 66% of the world&#8217;s lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been  introduced in congress several times in the last several years to  limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as &#8220;spilling hot  coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you&#8221; and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice<br />
lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even  being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the  political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association  goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible  for our medical and product costs being so high!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/20061107-subpage-Seniors.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1386" title="20061107-subpage-Seniors" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/20061107-subpage-Seniors-150x150.jpg" alt="20061107-subpage-Seniors" width="150" height="150" /></a>Wednesday, I was at the doctor whom I have been going to since we moved down here (he is the one who discovered my cancer). I have to get a very expensive shot every 3 months ($3000) that is designed to keep the PSI down and help to prevent a recurrence of the cancer. Has some uncomfortable side effects, and I was questioning the need to continue with it, which he assured me was necessary. He then asked how old I was, and when I replied 70, he said that if this legislation goes through as intended by the powers that be, that I probably would not be able to get it next year, as that would be money better spent on someone else with greater longevity. I would be referred to someone to &#8220;counsel&#8221; me.</p>
<p>I asked him why the AMA had recently endorsed the plan. He replied that only about 15% of the nation&#8217;s doctors were members of AMA, and most of them were not really on the front lines of doctor hood but in some other areas of medicine. He said he was a member, but would not be after this membership year.</p>
<p>This man got part of his training in London , and practiced in Canada for 16 years before coming to the US , and he has no use for socialized medicine, regardless of how you wrap it, or what kind of bow to put on it. He said that we have a shortfall of around 400,000 doctors at the present time, and many of today&#8217;s doctors are of the baby boomer generation who are nearing retirement and/or will decide to hang it up rather than deal with the results this is sure to bring..</p>
<p>Scary, my friends. The picture for our age group is not pretty.</p>
<p><strong>ALL THE MORE REASON TO PUT YOUR FAITH IN GOD, NOT GOVERNMENT.</strong></p>
<p><strong>SENIOR DEATH WARRANTS:</strong></p>
<p>In England anyone over 59 cannot receive heart repairs or stents or bypass because it is not covered as being too expensive and not needed.</p>
<p>Obama wants to have a Healthcare system just like Canada &#8216;s and England &#8216;s. I got this today and am sending it on. If Obama&#8217;s plans in other areas don&#8217;t scare you, this should. Please do not let Obama sign senior death warrants.</p>
<p>Everybody that is on this mailing list is either a senior citizen, is getting close or knows somebody that is.</p>
<p>Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the &#8220;stimulus&#8221; bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement:<br />
Bloomberg: Daschle says &#8220;health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.&#8221;</p>
<p>If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that our esteemed Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.</p>
<p>Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in one year and five months. And we have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and its allies have begun and in the interim, we can make their lives miserable. Lets do this!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Paul-Hollrah.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1381" title="Paul Hollrah" src="http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Paul-Hollrah.jpg" alt="Paul Hollrah" width="150" height="150" /></a>While most have  little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at UTFSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question:</p>
<p>What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi ?</p>
<p>So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later?</p>
<p>And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi , what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?</p>
<p>The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama&#8217;s citizenship a rather short and simple one.</p>
<p>Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?<br />
A : Yes, by his own admission..</p>
<p>Q: What passport did he travel under?<br />
A: There are only three possibilities<br />
      1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport,<br />
      2) He traveled with a British passport, or<br />
      3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.</p>
<p>Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?<br />
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department&#8217;s &#8220;no travel&#8221; list in 1981.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p>
<p>When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport..</p>
<p>If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims.</p>
<p>If he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.</p>
<p>Regardless the answer, the American people need to know how he managed to become a &#8220;natural born&#8221; American citizen between 1981 and 2008.</p>
<p>Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.</p>
<p>If you Don&#8217;t care if Your President is not a natural born Citizen and in Violation of the Constitution, then disregard this and go into your cocoon.</p>

<p>The next time you hear a politician use the Word &#8216;billion&#8217; in a casual manner, think about Whether you want the &#8216;politicians&#8217; spending YOUR tax money.</p>
<p>A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, But one advertising agency did a good job of Putting that figure into some perspective in One of it&#8217;s releases.</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>A billion seconds ago it was 1959.</li>
<li>A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.</li>
<li>A billion hours ago our ancestors wereLiving in the Stone Age.</li>
<li>A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on twofeet.</li>
<li>A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, At the rate our government Is spending it.</li>
</ul>
<p>While this thought is still fresh in our brain&#8230; let&#8217;s take a look at New Orleans . It&#8217;s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.</p>
<p>Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) Is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number&#8230;What does it mean?</p>
<ul>
<li>If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) You each get $516,528.</li>
<li>If you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets$1,329,787.</li>
<li>If you are a family of four&#8230; Your family gets $2,066,012.</li>
</ul>
