OBAMA SELECTS JANET RENO'S ANTI-GUN POINT MAN AS NEXT ATTORNEY GENERAL
THIS IS MY "RANT OF THE DAY"
You just gotta love freedom of Speech. It really makes it easy to spot the true idiots out in our midst. Every time I see one of these kinds of bumper stickers, all I can think of is..."there goes another idiot, stay clear of that dumb ass". The thing that really puts me on my ear is the fact that allot of the idiots displaying this type of sticker are WAY old enough to know better. Like, in their 60s, 70s and such. Usually, with these kinds of stickers you will find another sticker that bashes GW. Things like, "My dog is smarter than your President" and other such derogatory crap. In my INFORMED opinion, GW was one of the best Presidents I ever had as a Commander and Chief. The other being Ronald Reagan. I have e-mailed the White House and told them that too. All the "Droids" know is what the liberal biased media has told them. They refused to be confused by the truth. There isn't ONE of them that is able or willing to understand that the ONLY reason we have not been attacked again here on our own soil is because of what he did, put into place and enacted after 911. All in all, they make me sick and ashamed of what other countries must be thinking of us right now. We must be the laughing stock of the world right now because of how our political system appears to work........
KENYA AMBASSADOR CONFIRMS OBAMA BORN IN KENYA

The interview is kind of long but it is well worth it. If this is true, what do we do now? His election would be in direct violation of the 14th Amendment. Copy and paste this address to see what the Constitution says.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen
The contention is, Obama is not naturalized. I have to admit, when I was researching this, it was tough to find. I was amazed to find that most hits were about questioning the eligibility of John McCain. He was born of parents in the military in Panama. Everyone in the military knows that all children born of US military personnel while stationed overseas are automatically US citizens but,.... may also be subject to the host country's laws regarding citizenship too. This depends on the Host/Tenant agreement the US has with each host nation.

THE SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY
As screwed up as the automakers seem to be, we cannot allow them to fold. Simply put, we need their abilities and talents to keep us free and secure. We cannot become dependent on war materials that are foreign made. The vehicles, guns or planes or whatever else we need must be home grown Nor can we do without their flexibility/ability to quickly retool in order to make whatever other products we may need in a time of war. It's that simple.
THE REAL REASON FOR THE 2ND AMMENDMENT - STRAIGHT-UP
There is no better way to say it than this woman did. Her name is Suzanna Gratia-Hupp and her parents were murdered by a crazed gunman. She hits the nail right on the head. Nuff said......

DOD HIT BY UNPRECEDENTED CYBER ATTACK
HE TOLD US HE WAS THE CANDIDATE OF "CHANGE"
SENATOR PATTY MURRAY'S REPLY TO MY E-MAIL REGARDING THE 2nd AMENDMENT
I am writing this letter to you so as to inform you as to my concern over the possibility of renewed attacks on the 2nd Amendment. As reaffirmed by the Supreme Court, this right does pertain the the rights of the individual gun owner. As a member of the NRA, we as an organization, watch the voting records of all our elected officials and make sure that the voting records are disseminated as widely as possible. As we go into this new era, we are watching more closely than ever. I urge you in the most strongest terms to resist and NOT vote in favor of any gun legislation that will infringe on any law abiding citizens right to own, possess or carry weapons to include concealed carry.
SENATOR MURRAY'S REPLY;
Thank you for writing to me regarding limitations on gun ownership. It is good to hear from you.
Like you, I am concerned about the level of violence in this country, and its effect on our families and communities. While legislation to regulate the use of firearms is primarily a state issue, I believe that our national crime-fighting strategy should include reasonable measures to control firearms that strike a balance between reducing street crime and maintaining individuals' rights.
As a U.S. Senator, I have supported common-sense measures to reduce or restrict gun violence while posing the least possible inconvenience to law-abiding gun owners. Please know that if the Senate considers firearms legislation, I will keep your concerns regarding this important issue in mind. If you would like to know more about my work in the Senate, please feel free to sign up for my updates at http://murray.senate.gov/updates. Thank you again for writing, and please keep in touch.
I hope all is well in Vancouver.
MY REBUTTAL;
Not quite the answer I had hoped for. To me is sounds like ....." Well, I hear ya, but I'm going to do what I think is right, but thanks for the e-mail anyway".

SENATOR MARIA CANTWELL'S REPLY;
Thank you for contacting me to express your views on gun ownership. I appreciate hearing your concerns about gun control and understand how strongly you feel about the right to bear arms.
You should know that I take our Constitution very seriously. It is a most fundamental goal for me as your Senator to work to uphold the rights guaranteed by our founding document. Furthermore, I know that recreational use and collection of guns for hunting, sport, and other activities is extremely important to you and many other law-abiding Washingtonians.
Just as I am committed to protecting Second Amendment rights, I believe you would agree with my long-standing conviction that we must keep guns out of the hands of criminals and children. I believe that our first step in preventing further criminal and youth gun violence should be stricter enforcement of responsible gun laws that punish criminal use of firearms and that make access to guns harder for children and criminals.
As your Senator, you can be assured that I will work to protect the legitimate rights of law-abiding American gun-owners, while continuing to support responsible gun control legislation to reduce crime and make our communities safer. I believe both of these goals are important and can be simultaneously accomplished through common-sense gun laws and stricter enforcement of existing laws.
Again, thank you for contacting me on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me again on this or any other issue.
Maria Cantwell
United States Senator
MY REBUTTAL:
At least I got an actual reply from her. My only question is.......what does she mean by "common-sense" gun laws?

THE UNITED NATIONS IN IT'S INFINITE WISDOM........
IS THE PRESIDENT ELECT DOOMED TO FAIL? OP-ED by SAM
He started his political career in 1997 and today he is the 1st African-American President (Elect) in U.S. history. If one was to go back and research the topic of race relations and riots, riots and other such confrontations have been going on as far back as at least 1908 when there were many killings in Springfield, Ill. As a kid growing up in that late 50s, 60s and early 70s, the riots in Watts, LA, Detroit, Washington DC, and Chicago are still a vivid memory as they were shown regularly on the evening news. My family would watch the “Huntley-Brinkley Report” as well as Walter Cronkite regularly. The TV would be full of images of the police beating the African-Americans or shooting them with water cannons and dragging them down the streets. The images of Martin Luther King standing up for equal rights for all were inspiring. Tragically, his life was cut short by an assassin’s bullet, but his vision lived on. All in all, I thought it was a very ugly time. Since then, there still have been many trying and difficult times and there have been many obstacles that had to be climbed and overcome. In my opinion, Mr. Obama’s election is a direct result of all those struggles and successes. Now that he has attained the highest office in the land, I have a hard time imagining the amount of expectation that is being heaped on him right now. It’s got to be mind numbing. It just seems to me that no matter how he performs these next 4 years, I can’t see how he is going to come out at the other end smelling like a rose with either party or the citizenry. I think that if he comes from the far left, the political backlash will be so great that the Dem’s will take a beating the next election. The same is true if he goes to the right. If he did that, he would loose his political backing in both houses plus piss everyone off that voted for him. Riding the fence might be his only option. Like I said, this is just my opinion and I am no political scientist so I may be WAY off on all of this.
Just a thought……….

I believe that our nation's government is only as strong as the individuals who choose to actively participate in its improvement and am grateful when constituents take the time to contact me.
Please be assured that I do take note of your views and will keep them in mind as I continue to represent Southwest Washington.

Member of Congress
MY REBUTTAL TO HIS REPLY;
I think it is entirely possible that this reply from his office is a "canned" response and is sent to every bit of correspondence he gets. However, that being said, I do not like what I feel is the condescending tone it has. In all my attempts to contact this guy, this is all I can get from his office. He has never sent a reply that I felt was the slightest bit personal or had a genuine feeling of concern or regard for my point of view. How he got re-elected is beyond me.......
