We Knew, So What? Don’t Blame Us. It’s Bush’s fault. Democrats: CIA is out to get us

Pat Dollard's.

 
Another Political hack

Democrats charged Tuesday that the CIA has released documents about congressional briefings on harsh interrogation techniques in order to deflect attention and blame away from itself.

“I think there is so much embarrassment in some quarters [of the CIA] that people are going to try to shift some of the responsibility to others — that’s what I think,” said Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who sat on the Senate Intelligence Committee and was briefed on interrogation techniques five times between 2006 and 2007.

Congress is at it again! List of Repub turncoats here....

This is doubtless the beginning of Obama’s fascist, “national civilian security force” he spoke of during the campaign. You can read the whole story here: http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92288. The title of the bill is H.R. 1388, the “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act,” also know as the GIVE Act.

It has already cleared the House and is headed to the Senate, where, as it happens, they are working on a similar, additional, bill that is being called the “Serve America” Act. Shockingly, 70 Republicans voted for the House bill, proving once again that most elected Republicans are tools and losers who will do whatever the Democrats want unless they are pressured otherwise.

Not amazingly, the Senate's Serve America Act is being sponsored by Ted Kennedy with RINO and useful idiot, Orrin Hatch in tow as a cosponsor.

Both of these bills MUST BE STOPPED! It’s hard to overstate how important this is.

Please call AND email your Senators (Democrat and Republican alike) and tell them to oppose the so-called GIVE Act that just passed the House, as well as the Serve America Act that’s being brewed up in the Senate.

As always, here is the contact info of all 100 Senators: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

If you can, please also contact Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell and let him know he needs to get Republicans in lockstep on opposing this: http://mcconnell.senate.gov/.

Lastly, I have listed below, the names of the sell-out Republicans in the House who voted for GIVE. If you want to give them a piece of your mind, you now know who they are. There is something very rotten that is stinking up the Republican Party, and it needs to be uprooted . . . and fast. Here’s where you can get contact info for House members: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml.

Call to Action from the Susan B. Anthony List


Support the Mexico City Policy in the U.S. House

January 28, 2009

Dear Pastor and Mrs Ed,

Just a few days ago, I had the misfortune of telling you that President Obama had signed an executive order rescinding the pro-life Mexico City Policy.

Today an amendment to reinstate the Pro-Life Mexico City Policy, introduced by Senator Mel Martinez of Florida, was defeated in the Senate.

Despite these bitter defeats, hope still remains to keep the Mexico City Policy as the law of our land.

Thanks to great pro-life Congressmen, like Chris Smith (R-NJ) and James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) we have the chance to pass a Mexico City Policy bill in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Mexico City Policy, which President Bush enacted on his first day in office, was originally established by President Reagan to keep your money from overseas abortion providers.

Please write to your Representative now and tell Congress to support our pro-life heroes as they fight for Life in Congress.

President Obama has already spoken on the Mexico City Policy and we had no voice. Now we have the opportunity to support the Mexico City Policy through the legislative process.

Let your voice be heard in the democratic process and take a legislative stand against President Obama and his pro-abortion policies!

Please sign your letter today!

For Life,

Marjorie Dannenfelser
Susan B. Anthony List President

P.S. Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, please consider giving a small gift to the Susan B. Anthony List. With your help, we can make a difference for Life!

P.P.S. Don't miss a thing -- add information@sba-list.org to your safe senders list.

Breaking News: Blagojevich Thumbs Nose At Senate Democrats

Illinois Governor Blagojevich just announced that he was required and thus was going to make a nomination for the vacant Senate seat. Roland Burris, the former Attorney General of Illinois, is Blagojevich's nominee.

Senate Democrats have said they will not allow a Blagojevich nominee to be seated and the state of Illinois may not even certify the selection.

This soap opera continues to dominate headlines. Poor guy seems like a pawn in a game that is way bigger than he is.

ACTION ALERT!!!

ACT! for America


ACTION ALERT !!

Free Speech Protection Act


Dear Ed,

Earlier this year New York passed legislation protecting authors from what has become known as “libel terrorism,” lawsuits claiming defamation filed in foreign jurisdictions and intended to
intimidate authors and publishers. Since then, legislation modeled after New York’s bill, entitled the Free Speech Protection Act, was introduced with bi-partisan support in both the U.S. House and Senate.

We received word on Friday that Senators Specter and Schumer have filed the Free Speech Protection Act, with minor changes, as an amendment for consideration to be included in the Senate Defense Authorization bill (S. 3001).

The decision to allow amendments like this to be voted on for inclusion in the bill is made by the "managers" of the bill (Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin and for the GOP John Warner in Senator John McCain's absence). Senator Levin has to agree to allow a vote on our amendment. Levin, Warner and other Senate leaders are negotiating over which amendments (if any) will be allowed for consideration, and so far, only amendments directly related to the
defense bill have been considered and voted on.

It is therefore URGENT that Senators Levin, Warner, and other members of the Senate Armed Services Committee hear from the grassroots right away. We need you to contact these members and urge them to include the Free Speech Protection Act as an amendment to the Senate Defense Authorization bill, S.3001. Tell them protecting
American authors who write about terrorism is crucial to our national security and the war on terrorism.


Following is a link to a listing of the members of this committee.


* Please email, fax or phone Senators Levin and Warner and respectfully ask them to include this vital legislation as an amendment.


* If any of these Senators is YOUR Senator, it is especially important for you to make contact with them as soon as possible, preferably by phone.

http://armed-services.senate.gov/members.htm


Getting this legislation passed will help ensure that American authors who have the courage to write about terrorism will not be subject to intimidation lawsuits filed in foreign jurisdictions.
Protecting our precious free speech rights is a crucial front in the war on terrorism.

So please, take action as soon as you can!

Thank you.
