Veterans have a special responsibility to our citizens, we all took a oath to protect and defend our constitution. There is proof of threats to our freedoms and rights as set forth by our founders. We need to consider the immigration issues, the financial burden being put on us and children against the people's wishes, and how we are conducting the war on terror. Our congress is not listening to the people; as veterans we need to voice our concerns and support the people. Play this video and decide how you will be involved.

100 Days of Change - Still a Mission
100 days of the new administration has shown us a picture of a new direction for our nation. It calls us to continue our mission to defend America in all arenas. There is evidence of a policy of appeasement and the reduction of our defense while we remain at war. There is government intervention in the busines and private lives of our citizens, it bears watching and preparing now for 2012.

ELECTION OVER, MISSION CONTINUES
We have a new Commander in Chief! However, the enemy has not changed, the mission must not change, and the war on terror goes on. Veterans and concerned Americans need to be involved and vocal if our nation is to survive. Active participation on all fronts to wake up our country from slowly passing into a "Pre-911" mentality. Write letters, vote smart, stay tuned in - your country needs you now more than ever.

A New Mission
All Veterans took an oath to the uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America. Now that the election is over, that oath does not go away; we have a new mission to perform. We must speak out on the history lessons of Vietnam, and the dangers of repeating those mistakes again in the current war. We must hold our government accountable by being involved and educating the citizens of this country on the dangers posed by the enemy,and caution against appeasement and retreat. We are Americans, we will support our new Commander in Chief, but we will fight for our country using all our abilities and talents until the enemy is defeated. We now must press on!

Arizona Republic Has It Right
The country needs Senator McCain to win on Tuesday, this endorsement give the reasons why his is qualified to be our President.
by Doug MacEachern - Nov. 2, 2008 12:00 AM
The Arizona Republic
John McCain became a national political leader through an act of forgiveness - a demonstration that wars end, wounds heal and the bitterest of enemies can put all that behind them.
Handy characteristics for someone presuming to lead the nation after this brutal election season.
The event I have in mind proved McCain in possession of an almost superhuman capacity to move forward. To cooperate with people who, not so long before, literally wished him dead.
Again, not a bad attitude for the winner of this presidential race.
It was in February 1985. Walter Cronkite had asked the Arizona congressman if he would be willing to accompany him on a return visit to Vietnam, including the infamous Hanoi prison where the former Navy pilot had spent the six worst years of his life.
This was, remember, little more than a decade after McCain had been incarcerated there. And tortured there. And tormented to within an inch of his sanity. It was the "home" that allowed congressional candidate McCain to fend off an accusation that he was a carpetbagger when he ran for Congress in Arizona in 1982: As a Navy brat, the only place he had lived longer than in Arizona was . . . Hanoi.
McCain went back. To Truc Bach lake, where on Oct. 26, 1967, a furious mob had pulled him to the shore and beat him. To the wretched Hoa Lo prison, aka the "Hanoi Hilton." And, to meetings with the overseers who nearly killed him.
To say the least, it was compelling viewing. But it was more than that. It created his national identity.
In Goldwater's footsteps
Less than two years later, McCain would be elected to replace an Arizona political deity, Barry Goldwater, as senator of Arizona.
His election to the Senate in 1986 would be attributable to a number of factors.
There was McCain's frenetic campaign energy, which dumbfounded competitors ("John McCain is driven," wrote my colleague, Richard de Uriarte, in The Phoenix Gazette that year. "No rural hamlet too remote to visit. No fundraiser he can't attend."). And, of course, his emerging celebrity, a natural result of having produced travelogues with Cronkite, that most trusted of newsmen.
But above all else there was the sense of something special about the man's character. He did not simply travel to meet with the people who had treated him with beastly cruelty. He did it to help move his country forward.
Two years after McCain's visit, Vietnam would begin, finally, to cooperate with the United States. At some things vitally important to McCain - determining the fate of GIs missing in action and the repatriation of remains. He started the process of healing, of moving forward, with his hand extended to those who hated him the most.
This, then, is the character trait that makes McCain not merely the superior presidential candidate of this election cycle but of nearly any era in which a candidate's character matters. Which is to say, of any era. He learns from mistakes of the past - his own, certainly, and those of others - and moves on.
Barack Obama may claim the media mantle as the 2008 agent of national unity and compromise. The candidate to move the nation forward.
But McCain is the only one of the two with a record of actually having acted, often against type, in what he saw as the national interest . . . as opposed to Obama's mere contention that, at some unspecified time in the near or distant future, we can trust him to act as something other than a faithful ideologue.
In 1989, John McCain was - by dint of politics, as well as by fact of history - the heir to Barry's legacy. He was a conservative Republican and war hero. The future was golden. And then came the "Keating Five" scandal.
Beyond Keating
Oh, McCain's involvement in those meetings with developer Charles H Keating Jr. was minimal. And his discomfort with Keating's effort to buy influence was obvious. But he was tied to the Arizona developer. There were those family jaunts with Keating to Cat Cay. Ugh.
No one moaned "Ugh!" louder than McCain himself. Love it or hate it, the real legacy of McCain's involvement in the Keating scandal was the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, a wide-reaching attempt to limit special-interest influence in federal campaigns. It emanated directly from the Keating mess. McCain-Feingold, as it is known, is the result of a 10-year McCain mission to erase whatever stigma remained of those torturous Keating Five days. It is McCain's personal declaration that honor in politics still matters.
He has been the dutiful soldier who, in the course of his congressional career, crossed three different commanders in chief over their deployment of U.S. troops in harm's way overseas. And he was the rare senator willing to stand up in Congress during the worst years of Iraq, 2005 to 2007, and demand of Bush and Donald Rumsfeld that they give the troops a chance to win.
He is the conservative, tax-loathing Republican who nevertheless opposed a Republican president's tax cuts as inappropriate during war . . . then performed an abrupt about-face after recognizing how Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts had helped revive an economy jolted by a double whammy: the dot-com bubble burst of 2000 and the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
And he was the GOP senator who led the fight for the kind of comprehensive immigration reform that Democrats claim to want . . . but never proved willing to fight for. Not like McCain (and, for that matter, Sen. Jon Kyl) risked the fury of his own party fighting for.
He was the worthy soldier whose devotion to national defense set the bar for what constitutes legitimate prisoner interrogation . . . and what constitutes torture. It was McCain, not the administration presiding over Abu Ghraib, who clearly knew the difference.
It may prove true that no presidential candidate with an "R" after his name could survive the current economic turmoil. But there will be high irony if a Democrat defeats McCain as a result of the economic disaster following in the wake of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
On May 5, 2006 - more than two years before the subprime-mortgage debacle would spawn a worldwide financial holocaust - McCain and 19 other GOP senators wrote a warning letter about the lack of oversight of the mortgage industry:
"We are concerned that if effective regulatory reform legislation for the housing-finance government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) is not enacted this year, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole."
Those warnings were ill-received by most Senate Democrats, who effectively blocked reform. Among them was the senator who accepted the second-most in campaign contributions from Fannie Mae lobbyists, Barack Obama.
The longest campaign
It is late in the campaign and certainly most serious voters have made up their minds, if not already cast their votes. The longest campaign - and one of the most arduous - is coming to an end at last.
At such a time it seems that, at the very least, most voters should feel confident that regardless who wins, we got the right guy. By now, we should know the candidates.
But almost 21 months after Obama's Feb. 10, 2007, announcement in Springfield, Ill., that he would run for the presidency, we still find ourselves guessing about what Obama really believes.
An audio tape of a 2001 Obama radio interview surfaced last Monday in which the then-Illinois state legislator discussed the history of federal courts and their impact on "redistributive change."
Obama seems to suggest that the supposedly radical-left Warren Supreme Court was not all that radical because it "never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth" via the U.S. Constitution.
Evidence of Obama's socialist-Marxist-redistributive inclinations? Maybe. Or perhaps not. Obama defenders, like academic Cass Sunstein, argued that Obama merely was discussing history, not rendering judgments. But isn't it a little late to not have a real clue about a likely U.S. president's view on how (or whether) to redistribute wealth?
We know what McCain's view is regarding using the 14th Amendment to create a superwelfare state. He doesn't have any. We don't have to muse about McCain's "ideology" because no modern presidential candidate has had less of one.
McCain is a guy whose sole notion of ideology is a highly refined sense of honor. Such people have a way of leading others through hard times.
The man who made peace with his jailers in the little hotel of horrors in Hanoi is a good bet to work well with others now.
No presidential candidate knows tough times like McCain does. That's an "ideology" we could use right now.

A Letter To Senator Obama
To Barack Hussein Obama,
The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008 that proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.
The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008 that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.
Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008 about "race" contradicted your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America. While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.
In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without "preparations" at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin ... while the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered "I would" to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without "any" preconditions. While your judgment about meeting with enemies of the USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.
On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the surge would not work. While your judgment about military strategy as a potential commander in chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on July 14.
You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately .. not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your judgment about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.
You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar .. and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.
In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a "Captain" of a platoon in Afghanistan "the other day" when in fact you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanistan. You lied in that debate.
In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a "professor of Constitutional law" when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you "taught a law class" and never mentioned being a "professor of Constitutional law." You lied last spring.
You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and he was right .... corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to America.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.
You did not take an active roll in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn ... who all helped cause the financial problems of today ... and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuch Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.
You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator ... and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America.
During your campaign, you said: "typical white person." "they cling to their guns and religion." "they will say that I am black." You played the race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America.
You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America, but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions. You have requested close to $1 Billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 Trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America.
The drain to America's economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 Billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 Billion (less than 1% of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America.
Mr. Obama, you claimed that you "changed" your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to America.
Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA. They eliminated religion from our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves ..... not America. Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America.
Oh Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else. Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
1. You lied to America. You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed your answers like a lawyer.
2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.
3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.
4. You divide America about race and about class.
Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race bating, and associations to John McCain:
War hero. Annapolis graduate with "Country first."
Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy Officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.
Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.
Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.
Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an interview? .... of course not. So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security .... and you are praying on their fears with empty promises ... and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for "change" like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you ... your style has camouflaged your dishonesty .... but many of us see you for who you really are ... and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is necessary.
Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.
Mr. Obama, America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future
Mr. Obama, you are not the "change" that America deserves. We cannot trust you.
Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander in chief.
Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race bating, lack of operational leadership experience, and general dishonest character. The media is diverting our attention to your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves .... just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon ... Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those gentlemen lied about the events ... false witness ... perjury ... your relationships and bad judgments are bad on their own .... but your lies are even worse.
Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.
Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we deserve you.

You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar .. and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.
In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a "Captain" of a platoon in Afghanistan "the other day" when in fact you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanistan. You lied in that debate.
In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a "professor of Constitutional law" when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you "taught a law class" and never mentioned being a "professor of Constitutional law." You lied last spring.
You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and he was right .... corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to America.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.
You did not take an active roll in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn ... who all helped cause the financial problems of today ... and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuch Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.
You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator ... and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America.
During your campaign, you said: "typical white person." "they cling to their guns and religion." "they will say that I am black." You played the race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America.
You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America, but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions. You have requested close to $1 Billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 Trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America.
The drain to America's economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 Billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 Billion (less than 1% of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America.
Mr. Obama, you claimed that you "changed" your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to America.
Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA. They eliminated religion from our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves ..... not America. Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America.
Oh Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else. Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
1. You lied to America. You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed your answers like a lawyer.
2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.
3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.
4. You divide America about race and about class.
Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race bating, and associations to John McCain:
War hero. Annapolis graduate with "Country first."
Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy Officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.
Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.
Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.
Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an interview? .... of course not. So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security .... and you are praying on their fears with empty promises ... and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for "change" like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you ... your style has camouflaged your dishonesty .... but many of us see you for who you really are ... and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is necessary.
Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.
Mr. Obama, America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future
Mr. Obama, you are not the "change" that America deserves. We cannot trust you.
Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander in chief.
Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race bating, lack of operational leadership experience, and general dishonest character. The media is diverting our attention to your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves .... just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon ... Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those gentlemen lied about the events ... false witness ... perjury ... your relationships and bad judgments are bad on their own .... but your lies are even worse.
Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.
Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we deserve you.

It's time to vote!
This blog has presented information to help wake up America to the threat of an Obama presidency. We have six days to make the right choice. Here are six hard facts about what you know about Senator Obama,. (1) Little experience on national issues; he has never sponsored any significant legislation.
(2) The people he has associated with over many years are radicals, anti-country, and very liberal. (3) He has been rated on non partisan lists as one of the two most liberal senators. (4) He has a record of being wrong on foreign policy issues; Iraq surge, Iran, and the Russian invasion of Georgia. (5) He has a record of supporting higher taxes, he favors expanding government programs in health care, he is on the record as favoring income re-distribution from 2001 to date. (6) He has been endorsed and openly favored by America's enemies. These are not opinions, they are facts to consider before the vote; Senator Obama has an extreme liberal philosophy of how he will govern that is supported by the individuals he associates with, the statements he has made, and his voting record. He is risky, not ready, and a danger for America.
