“DOJ has thrown open the door for activist organizations such as ACORN to register non-citizens to vote in Georgia’s elections, and the state has no ability to verify an applicant’s citizenship status or whether the individual even exists. DOJ completely disregarded Georgia’s obvious and direct interest in preventing non-citizens from voting, instead siding with the ACLU and MALDEF. Clearly, politics took priority over common sense and good public policy. [Now - can't Congress do something about this? I know that our Secretary of State Ruth Johnson has as one of her objectives making sure only qualified voters vote. I'd like to add that only constitutionally qualified candidates can be put on the ballot......] http://www.sos.ga.gov/pressrel/elections/20090601Obama%20Justice%20Department%20Decision%20Will%20Allow%20Non-Citizens%20to%20Register%20to%20Vote%20in%20Georgia.htm

The UK Telegraph reveals: Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week.
Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain’s policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.
The fact that the Americans used British nuclear secrets as a bargaining chip also sheds new light on the so-called “special relationship”, which is shown often to be a one-sided affair by US diplomatic communications obtained by the WikiLeaks website. [Just why is the media not reporting this?) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8304654/WikiLeaks-cables-US-agrees-to-tell-Russia-Britains-nuclear-secrets.html

American Thinker opines: In the Senate, Mitch McConnell, who has promised to tack a repeal [Obamacare] amendment on every piece of legislation, began implementing his promise and attached such an amendment to the first bill of the session, one to authorize funding of the FAA. Every Republican voted for the amendment; every Democrat voted against it. As anger against this act and the administration continues to soar, it will be interesting to see how many vulnerable senators will continue to stake their future careers on a monumentally unpopular act that cost so many of their congressional colleagues their seats last November. The administration is clearly hoping to delay any appeal to the Supreme Court on the law so that implementation will be so far underway that it can argue that undoing the legislation would have a disastrous impact on the economy and national health care. http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/02/clarices_pieces_the_incredible_1.html

Fox Business writes: Tax pros, who asked to remain anonymous, fear taxpayers simply won’t comply with health reform's new onerous 1099 requirement because it requires small businesses to file even more, separate tax forms to be compliant; can trigger erroneous penalties from the IRS if the forms are missing information or are incorrect: can expose taxpayers’ personal identification information; and it can require expensive new computerized systems to comport with the letter of the tax law.

Fox News reports: A group of South Dakota lawmakers has introduced a bill that would require almost everyone in their state to buy a gun once they turn 21.
Turns out it's not a serious attempt. Rather, the lawmakers are trying to make a point about the new health care law -- that an individual mandate is unconstitutional, whether it requires everyone to buy health insurance or, in South Dakota's case, a firearm. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/01/sd-lawmakers-propose-mandating-gun-ownership-make-point-health-law/?cmpid=cmty_email_South_Dakota_Lawmakers_Propose_Mandating_Gun_Ownership_--_to_Make_Point_About_Health_Law

John Fleming, Congressman wrote: "As you may have heard, the House voted to repeal the new health care reform law, but the Senate failed to do so this week by a vote of 47-51. So, as a recent article in The New England Journal of Medicine pointed out, a step in the right direction is to choke off funding for the new law.
For this reason, I have introduced H.R. 38 to rescind the Health Insurance Reform Implementation Fund, a $1 billion fund appropriated as part of the Reconciliation package to pay for federal administrative expenses at the IRS and the Department of Health and Human Services to carry out the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: As of the end of November 2010, $40.8 million of these funds have been obligated to provide for administrative expenses of the Health and Human Services and the IRS to implement the new health care reform law. By rescinding this fund, $900 million would be returned to the treasury, thereby reducing the federal deficit." JOHN FLEMING, M.D. Member of Congress

Bet you'd find more citizens in SD willing to buy a gun than buy Obamacare...
ReplyDeleteAlthough FLAP was created to address national shortages in languages including Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, and languages in the Indic, Iranian, and Turkic language families, only Arabic is apparently being pushed. And does this come as a surprise given that FLAP (first funded in FY 2008) was created by the Obama Administration?!
