OKC 912 Project

Greetings fellow 912ers. It is time once again to strap on your Constitutions (hopefully you never took them off) and gather together to "Surround Them".

Our next General meeting of the OKC912Project will be Thursday, September 2 at (fill in time after finding out about the hot dog thing). We will meet at the Del City American Legion Hall. On the agenda this month is Cindy Truong who is currently an Assistant District Attorney and running for District Judge. She will tell us about herself and the long road from Vietnam to an American success story. We will also be examining and discussing the State Questions we will be voting on in November. Hopefully we can get a short debrief from anyone in the group that attends the 8-28 rally in DC.

Please come prepared to discuss our State and Country and her future with other concerned Oklahomans and Americans. We look forward to seeing you.

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to
keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can’t figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

* “We’re no longer a Christian nation”
* “America is arrogant” – (Your wife announced to the world, “America is mean-spirited.” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to
free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny andhopelessness.)

I’d say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or
gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said, “America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”

Which ones did you mean?

* Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British?
* Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?

It begins: FDA may pull Avastin approval over cost

When Barack Obama and the Democrats spent most of a year pushing their deeply unpopular health-care system overhaul, they repeatedly insisted that government intervention in the market would not mean that treatment decisions would come down to cost issues — even while demonizing providers as Tonsil Vultures and amputation-happy predators. Today, however, the Washington Post reports on an effort at the FDA to decertify Avastin as a treatment for breast cancer and its implications for cost savings at Medicare:

Federal regulators are considering taking the highly unusual step of rescinding approval of a drug that patients with advanced breast cancer turn to as a last-ditch hope.

The debate over Avastin, prescribed to about 17,500 women with breast cancer a year, has become entangled in the politically explosive struggle over medical spending and effectiveness that flared during the battle over health-care reform: How should the government balance protecting patients and controlling costs without restricting access to cutting-edge, and often costly, treatments? …

The FDA is not supposed to consider costs in its decisions, but if the agency rescinds approval, insurers are likely to stop paying for treatment.

“It’s hard to talk about Avastin without talking about costs,” said Eric P. Winer, director of the Breast Oncology Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. “For better or worse, Avastin has become in many ways the poster child of high-priced anti-cancer drugs.”

How many socialists sit in Congress today?
1 group boasts 70, but see what WND survey suggests

WASHINGTON – The Democratic Socialists of America boasted in a newsletter to insiders 70 of its members currently serve in Congress, but an independent survey by WND suggests the number of actual avowed or semi-secret socialists in the House and Senate is considerably higher – at least 82.

The DSA is a political action committee and bills itself as the heir to the defunct Socialist Party of America. It's chief organizing objective is to work within the Democratic Party as the primary, but not sole, method of achieving public ownership of private property and the means of production.

"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an internal organizing document obtained by WND. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."

In October 2009, the DSA newsletter reported that 70 congressional Democrats are active members.

The group also claimed 11 socialists sit on the House Judiciary Committee, including Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich.

The hot new best-seller, "The Manchurian President," by Aaron Klein, reveals inside story on Team Obama and its members. Now available autographed at WND's Superstore!

But, according to an independent investigation by WND, the number of those sympathetic to the socialist goals of the DSA is substantially higher than 70.

The Ruling Class vs. the Public
By Tony Blankley

The cheerful, jaded, sneering question de jour from liberal journalists and Democratic Party commentators (I know, there's a pretty fine distinction) is, "What will the Republican Party do if it gets back the House?" The question is phrased along the line of what a car-chasing dog would do if it caught the car.

As a conservative tea party Republican, I am not particularly worried about that eventuality. Despite itself, a majority GOP, driven powerfully by the unambiguous vox populi of such an election, almost certainly would go about trying to repeal Obamacare and put serious, current-fiscal-year spending cuts into place -- necessarily including "entitlements." Republicans would try to reduce some taxes and start serious oversight of federal regulatory intrusions into traditional American freedoms -- including a powerful pushback on administration regulatory efforts on climate change, illegal immigration and other left-wing agenda items. With sufficient votes in the Senate, they would block future liberal judicial appointments -- from the trial court to the Supreme Court.

If they didn't go all-out for such a basic conservative agenda in 2011 after such an election as is possible, Republican Party leaders would know that across the nation, even 50-year party regulars such as I would walk out and seek a third party to carry out the people's business.

No, what worries me is a scenario in which the GOP does not take back the House and at least make major gains in the Senate, or takes it back but fails to find the power to begin having a serious check on administration policies and actions. I don't say that with a mere partisan, boostering mentality.

There's been an ongoing phrase in the media that "Illegals do the jobs that Americans won't" and besides this being total hogwash as Americans will work any available job for a proper wage, there is an excellent reason why Illegals will do mundane, supremely low wage jobs under the table for those willing to risk employing them. I'm not talking minimum wage, which is over seven US dollars an hour. I'm talking for as little as three dollars and hour.

The first question is why. Why would an undocumented worker from another country like Mexico be burning with desire to work hard and get so little in return? It's simple. The money they earn while living in group homes is sent back to Mexico to their families and friends.

Let us look at this from another angle. Say you go into a restaurant with a help wanted sign in the window. You ask about the job and what it pays. They tell you you're going to wash dishes and the pay is $37.98. Would you want the job? Of course you would. And if you do well enough and work the job for one year, you could get a raise to $50.63! With those wages in mind, it would be almost impossible to get you to leave that high paying job, right? Washing and scrubbing dishes is hard manual work, but with that amount in mind, bring on the scrubbers and hot water!

Using today's currency rates, an Illegal employed at only 3 US dollars and hour is 37.98 Mexican Pesos. At 4 US Dollars, that raise we wondered about, goes up to 50.63 Mexican Pesos. What would normally be minimum wage for Legal Americans is cheaper for the business owner by far to hire an Illegal Worker, but for the Illegal Immigrant from Mexico, it's very high pay.

In order to compare what they make in Mexico at their jobs, we can go to http://www.ueinternational.org/shop/index.php and use the pull down menu to compare the pay and jobs in Mexico and the United States. It's here this starts to make sense.

Obama’s ‘Organizing for America’ targeting Okla. districts
By ANDREW W. GRIFFIN

Oklahoma Watchdog, editor

Posted: July 30, 2010

OKLAHOMA CITY – Nearly two years after liberal community organizing group ACORN hurriedly abandoned their south Oklahoma City office, there is concern that a similarly-minded group, Organizing for America, is looking to resume working in the Sooner State.

Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Matt Pinnell recently met with Oklahoma Watchdog and explained that Democrats in Oklahoma are looking to organize the grass roots with “Sneaky Sunday” meet-up events where OFA activists can discuss strategies and move forward with their plans.

Organizing for America is the successor organization to Obama for America, the liberal activist organization that is fighting for “a new kind of politics” that embraces a more socialistic approach to governing.

Pinnell provided a screenshot of a “Sneaky Sunday” OFA organizational meeting that was expected to address House District 87, represented by Rep. Jason Nelson and Senate District 40, represented by Sen. Cliff Branan.

Pinnell also discussed at Capitol Beat OK that President Obama‘s liberal allies are working hard in Oklahoma.

Democrat Dana Orwig is working to unseat Nelson. A call to Nelson seeking comment on the OFA activities in his district has not been returned.

On August 7, a “Vote 2010” OFA event will take place in HD 87 where they “will be knocking doors and making phone calls to those people who came out for the first time in 2008 and voted for President Obama.”

“Oklahoma is the reddest state in the country,” Pinnell said. “So, the Democrats are trying to find a different strategy in their efforts to get elected.”

When Will Financial Armageddon Begin?
By Greg Hunter

USAWatchdog.com

A little more than two years ago, economist John Williams of shadowstats.com predicted a “severe recession” was coming and soon. At the time, I was working as an investigative correspondent for CNN. I interviewed Williams for a story about the coming financial crisis. Most so-called experts, at the time, did not see the financial meltdown coming, let alone that all the banks were in trouble. Williams’ assessment of the economy was spot on in 2008. I don’t see how you can characterize what we have now as anything but a “severe recession.” Accurate information is the first and foremost reason to use someone as a source when you are a journalist. In my experience, what I have gotten from Williams has been stellar. (Click here for the 2008 CNN story featuring Williams and his predictions for the President in 2012.) (Click here for shadowstats.com)

Williams also predicted 2 years ago we would have a “hyperinflationary depression” within 10 years. Then, about a year ago, he revised his prediction and narrowed the window to “five years.” The day before last Friday’s dismal jobs report, Williams said, “. . . the timing of the looming U.S. financial Armageddon is coming into better focus, with increasingly high risk of it breaking within the next six months to a year.”

“Financial Armageddon . . . within the next six months to a year.” I called Williams to see why the odds of calamity have accelerated. He told me on the phone last night, “What is happening now to bring the timing into focus is the economy IS turning down. It is no longer the perspective the economy is going to turn down. That, in turn, will eventually trigger all the problems with the dollar, the debt and the deficit.”
