This year the real cuts in spending, brought on by sequestration, will actually be $44 billion in the ”increase” in this year’s $3.8 trillion budget; it will, I repeat, be $44 billion only in the “increase” in spending; it is not in an actual decrease in last year’s spending.   The reason it will be $44 billion and not $85 billion is because it will kick in late in the fiscal year—$44 billion equates to ½ of what the federal government actually borrows every 28 days from lenders like China to cover the out of control spending.   

In fact “half (50%)“of the $44 billion is being taken out of the DOD Budget, even though the Defense Department is only 20% of the annual federal budget, not 50% of the federal budget; that assault on the US Armed Forces was directed by Obama when he created sequestration.  It is truly unconscionable to divide the cuts that way when our US Military is…

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) did a brilliant thing in his filibuster of Obama’s appointment of John Brennan to head the CIA.  The filibuster was staged in order to bring attention to the fact that Obama feels he has the authority to employ drone strikes in the United States to kill American Citizens without first charging, arresting, indicting, and trying the American citizen.  No other US President has ever felt they had the authority to use air strikes in the United States to kill Americans without warning, without…

In the below listed article, Americans honor former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, the heroes of Benghazi, for their long distinguished service as US Navy SEALS, for saving 30 American lives in Benghazi, and for their valor while giving the last full measure of devotion to the Republic.  Kindly pass this on to those in your address book who would also honor them.

A NOBLE SACRIFICE

Posted: Monday, February 25, 2013 12:05am - Updated: 7:10am, Mon Feb 25, 2013.
BY Dick Watson Times Staff Writer 

A few months ago, on the 11th anniversary of the 2001 attack against the U.S., terrorists attacked the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.  Four Americans were killed: Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and private security detail members Ty Woods and Glen…

 The below listed 10 Congressmen deserve a great deal of credit and special recognition for cosponsoring legislation that will prevent personal medals awarded for Valor in combat to military personnel whose lives were at risk or in danger, from being diminished by a new military medal for drone operators, listed below, where the lives of the recipients are not at risk or in danger at all, 5 of the 10 Congressmen who co-sponsored the legislation are endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress:

 Cong Duncan D. Hunter, Capt-USMCR (R-CA-52) http://www.hunterforcongress.com/ , Cong Michael Coffman, Maj-USMC (Ret) (R-CO-6) …

 Using military officer in “full dress uniforms” to be background props” for the announcement of the Best Picture for the Academy Awards is a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).  The American people should be able to watch entertainment without heavy politics; no other US President has ever used military officers in full dress uniforms as props in the 85 year history of the Academy Awards.

 “Common sense is not so common.”   Dr. Carson employs intelligent logic to evaluate issues simply, and has the talent to communicate his logic.  In the below listed link, he is able to connect across partisan lines because he focuses on “educating/encouraging” people to think for themselves.  The foundation upon which the Republic was created was for individuals to have freedom of thought and expression, the Founding Fathers encouraged citizens to employ independent logic in evaluating issues with balance and reason.  It is unfortunate that the 535 members of Congress do not have Dr. Carson’s ability to use reasoned logic to evaluate issues and come up with solutions to a relatively simple problem that is bankrupting the Republic----just stop the out of control spending.

 We continue in our sworn oath to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the sixth article in a series of articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.  We now know after watching Sean Hannity’s February 18th  interview of Professor John Lott, the author of “At the Brink”, who was on the faculty at the University of Chicago with Obama, that Obama actually told him that he didn’t believe “any American” should be allowed to own guns “at all”; every American you know should be alerted to Obama’s true goal, which is not to just restrict gun ownership—his current initiative to restrict gun ownership is his first step in his plan to confiscate all guns from law abiding Citizens in the Republic.  The restriction of gun ownership is a violation of the…

We continue in our sworn oath on to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the fifth article in a series of articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution. 

Criminals employed by Mexican Drug Cartels and Human Traffickers are coming across the Southern Border daily, armed with military issue Fully Automatic Assault Weapons threatening, kidnaping, and killing law abiding American citizens; it is a war zone.   DHS and the Obama Administration are not adequately protecting American citizens living along the southern border.  Unfortunately, the Obama Administration has taken legal action against the State of Arizona, because in the absence of DHS’s enforcement of Federal Immigration Laws, Arizona jumped into the breach to…

 We continue in our sworn oath to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the fourth article in a series articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2ndAmendment to the US Constitution.

 A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
 

In 1929, the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin first determined what citizens owned guns in Russia, then confiscated those guns with their Communist para-military private henchmen, and enforced gun control by eliminating all privately owned guns. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 
    ------------------------------ 
  
In 1911, Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Turkey first determined what citizens owned guns, then confiscated those guns with his radical islamists,…

 We continue in our sworn oath to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the third article in a series articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution---this is a freedom issue.  The City of Chicago, with strictest gun control laws of any other city in the nation, should be the safest city in the nation, but instead it has highest crime rate and murder rate of any other city in the nation (hand gun ban in Chicago is being violated by criminals; the anti-gun crusade is not in the interest of law abiding citizens). Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Chicago reported that in 2012, 506 Americans were murdered by guns (more gun deaths occurred in Chicago than suffered by the US military in Afghanistan in 2012).  The perpetrators of gun deaths in Chicago seem to have…

We continue in our sworn oath to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the second article in a series of articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.  That mass murder which occurred in Newtown, Connecticut, occurred in the state with the strictest gun control laws in the nation.  The full background of the mentally deranged gunman who used a 9mm Glock Semi-Automatic handgun and a 9mm Sig Semi-Automatic handgun, and a Bushmaster 223 caliber Semi-Automatic rifle to murder 20 innocent children in Newtown.  Obama’s drive to force background checks on owners of Semi-Automatic Rifles, isto determine who possess the types of weapons that could oppose domestic tyranny. New anti-gun laws will not prevent future mass shootings in schools; local school…

We continue in our sworn oath on joining the US Armed Forces to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the first article in a series of future articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution---this is freedom issue.  Obama intends to bypass existing US Laws passed by Congress and the US Constitution by the issuance of 23 Executive Orders that could lead to the abolishment of the 2nd Amendment as we know it and by attempting to enact new anti-gun legislation to disarm American citizen.  Obama’s initiative to circumvent the 2ndAmendment will continue in stages, step by step, over the next 4 year, as he makes one inroad, he will pursue another to finally fully circumvent the 2nd Amendment.  I submit to you here that the first assault on private gun…

There is very big difference in women flying combat missions, providing medical support in combat, in providing MP Guard duty, being involved in convoy duty, being involved in intelligence support, etc. and being in a Combat Infantry Unit for 3 months on end with improper hygiene facilities, with no breaks, and facing an enemy daily—face to face-- in a killing zone.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was well aware of the above listed video—so was Panetta.  They also knew full well that there is a legal requirement to notify Congress of changes regarding women in the military in advance of the issuance of the order Panetta signed, including the requirement that the…

There is a reason why in the Olympics there is women's competition and men's competition, why there is a professional men's basketball leagues and a professional women's basketball leagues, and why basic military recruit training for men is different from basic military recruit training for women.  In weight, stamina, and strength there are major differences between men and women; in the overwhelming number of cases women cannot keep up with men in those areas----however there may be some unique exceptions.   The action taken by the Secretary of Defense yesterday, bypassing Congress in the decision making process, with the concurrence of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who sat there wide eyed without saying a word, imposed another of Obama’s radical “diversity” agendas upon the US  Armed Forces.  The radical decision flies in the face of the many studies completed by the…

 The Tax Division of the Justice Department under Eric Holder has been conducting Para-military type raids on small business enterprises to conduct audits; those raids have soared in the last 4 years. Holder with support of Obama has been conducting outright aggressive assaults on the Free Enterprise System in violation of Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution; US citizens are not to be detained without their right to call an attorney for representation.  The two pillars of freedom guaranteed by the US Constitution are the right to property and privacy rights; Holder has been routinely violating those rights.  The US Congress must prevent Holder from violating the US Constitution, and the liberties of US citizens by continuing to employ the Gestapo tactics depicted in the below listed video.  Holder’s tactics, justifying them by investigating tax issues, are a clear violation…

 If you click on the below listed link to listen to Senator Paul, you will fully understand why American voters must change the makeup of the US Senate in 2014.  We encourage all Americans to support our initiative to elect patriotic and responsible Combat Veterans For Congress in the 2014 mid-term election, if their numbers are increased from the 19 that are serving in the 113th Congress, they will contribute substantially to reining in the out of control spending by a Congress made up of 516 other members, and by the irresponsible Obama Administration.

 The below listed synopsis from a retired US Navy SEAL Officer in Hawaii is not new to many active duty flag officers.  The Cross Border Authority issue is important in light of the pending testimony by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before the US Congress about the Benghazi debacle.  The well-coordinated and planned attack by over 100 Al Q’ieda led terrorists on the anniversary of 9/11 was being watched in real time in the White House Situation Room from a live video feed from two drones flying overhead in shifts.  One of several key questions that should be posed to Secretary Clinton will reveal a great deal about the failure of the Obama Administration to come to the aid of Americans under attack who repeatedly cried for help over  an 8 hour period is “was Cross Border Authority ever issued on 9/11/12”?

The below listed synopsis will outline where the “Accountability”…

 One of the endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, GySgt Nick Popaditch, USMC (Ret), provided us with the below listed link so we could share the video, in it, with you.  The message in that video will provide you with some hope for the 2014 mid-term election, when we will field a new slate of Combat Veterans For Congress, and will campaign for the re-election of the 19 Combat Veterans For Congress who will be serving in the 113th Congress.  Our goal has been to replace the members of Congress who continue the irresponsible out of control spending, and especially for the members of Congress who just voted to support Obama’s NEW INCREASE IN TAXES! 

We are as disgusted as you are, that the Congress did not deal with or solve the out of control spending at all; once again the Congress kicked the can down the road, and just gave working America citizens $41 in increased taxes…

John Kerry: Obama’s “Perfect Choice” For Secretary of State (Per President Obama)

December 22, 2012 By John Perazzo

When Barack Obama …

 In the below listed E-mail of December 12th we mounted an effort by contacting the national press and everyone we knew who had ever severed in the US Marine Corps, to free Cpl Jon Hammar, USMC, a Combat Marine, from a Mexican jail; he was illegally incarcerated for no reason.  The FOX News Network and especially Bill Riley took up the cause, never let up; every day for 10 straight days they continued the drum beat demanding the freedom of Cpl Hammar.  The Florida Congressional delegation had pushed very hard to free Cpl Hammar since August; the Obama Administration let Cpl Hammar remain chained to his bed in a Mexican jail for 5 months.

 Yesterday’s national television coverage of Congressman Duncan D. Hunter, Cpt –USMCR (R-CA-52) threat to cross the Mexican border to drive to the Mexican jail with a large contingent of concerned US Congressmen to free Cpl Hammar was the…

 This last election was lost by Governor Romney primarily because the Romney Campaign didn’t execute their ground game on Election Day, the Obama Campaign had an excellent ground game, and substantial voting irregularities added to the Obama voting totals in battleground states total.  Most of the reliable pollsters had Gov Romney winning the election, up until the day of the election.  The confounding variables that threw the pollsters off, particularly in all the battleground states are too numerous to relay here; least of which was that Governor Romney’s get out the vote operation absolutely failed on Election Day.  Although every one of the 22 below listed reports that Voter Fraud was perpetrated by the Obama Campaign can’t be verified, the reports outlined in the below listed links were so widespread and numerous, that there is no doubt that a certain percentage of them are…

 Going over the Fiscal Cliff will result in sequestration, yet the devastation resulting from sequestration is being covered up by the left of center liberal media establishment.  Please view the video in the below listed link as Admiral James Lyons, Jr. USNA ’52 USN (Ret), former Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet, explains what sequestration will mean to the US Navy; it will result in having less ships in the entire US Fleet that the US Navy had before World War I------and less US Navy ships than Admiral Lyons had in the US Pacific Fleet, when it was under his command.   Sequestration will not only unilaterally decrease the capability of the US Navy; it will also unilaterally decrease the capability of each of the other service branches.  The American people should ask themselves why the Commander-in-Chief is unilaterally decreasing the capabilities of the US Armed Forces…

When Obama was running for re-election, he told the American people and the news media repeatedly, if elected, he would definitely cut spending and raise some taxes in a balanced approach (raising revenue is the “code name” employed by the Obama for raising taxes and now for some reason the Republicans are using that “code word”—it’s not revenue its “taxes”—they think the American people are stupid).  The liberal Washington Post that endorsed Obama for re-election, expressed shock, in the attachment, upon learning that Obama has no intention at all of negotiating spending cuts.  Once the Republicans agreed to accept higher taxes on the rich as long as government spending is cut significantly and incentives to work and invest are not weakened, Obama moved the goal post by proposing increased tax “rates’, imposing $1.6 trillion in new taxes, and called for $255 billion in new spending…

  Our message to American citizens as we approach the 2014 mid-term election is to never give up your effort to elect honest candidates for office who will cut government spending—less government!!  The future is still unlimited for the Republic we strongly support; we believe it will be hard work to support and elect patriotic candidates in the 2014 election.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the message to the American people outlined in our Mission Statement above and promoted by conservatives Americans in the nation.  Do not let the left of center liberal media establishment succeed in convincing you that the conservative philosophy this nation was founded on is wrong; it is more valid today than ever before.  By clicking on the below listed link sent to me by one of my Naval Academy Classmates, Cdr Bill Brunelle ’62, you will be able to listen to an excellent message from…

       The below listed opinion explains why the potential selection of Senator John Kerry as the next Secretary of Defense will negatively affect the moral and Combat Effectiveness of the US Armed Forces.   The article was written by Don Bendell who authored 26 books, is a 70% Disabled Combat Veteran, was a courageous Green Beret A-Team member who was embedded in the Phoenix Program, is an authentic American Patriot, and a fellow Vietnam Veteran.  Don’s comments are about John Kerry who only spent 4 months on a boat, patrolling in the middle of rivers in South Vietnam, where there were very few other operating US military forces.  Yet Kerry testified that he saw many wide ranging atrocities perpetrated by all US military personnel; he testified to incidents he professes to have seen, that never really happened.  No military man could have possibly witnessed all those atrocities,…

Veterans, at one point in their lives, wrote a blank check made payable “to the United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their life.  On Veterans Day and every day, we Honor, respect, and extend a sincere thank you to all Veterans and active duty personnel for their service to the Republic.   We especially Honor all Wounded Combat Veterans, and the families of all Fallen Veterans who gave the last full measure of devotion to the Republic.  We are encouraging all Americans to reflect upon what the US Military leadership did, in order to save one American life, in days gone by; please click on the below listed link to watch the video and comprehend the important message.

It is the responsibility…

The above listed Mission Statement outlines the principals upon which the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC was co-founded in August 2009 by Congressman Barry Goldwater (Ret) and Capt Joseph R. John, USN/FBI (Ret).  Its purpose is to endorse fiscally conservative Combat Veterans For Congress who would work to rein in the out of control spending, will protect the freedoms provided to us in the US Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, and who previously demonstrated their willingness to “Go In Harm’s Way” to protect and defend teammates engaged in combat. The PAC is a stand-alone organization, and has no affiliation with any political party; it seeks out Combat Veterans, and after they agree to support the above listed Mission Statement, a background investigation is completed on a potential candidate.  In order to be endorsed, the Combat Veteran is further evaluated to…
