Newsletter: Benton Co. Republicans, Nov. 1, 2009

“One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. . . .Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it.” --Ronald Reagan, (1961)

Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-Minn.) wants you to meet her on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, November 5, at noon. She will walk with you through the Capitol Building to the offices of her constituents so you can deliver your message about Pelosi’s 1900+ page health care bill. Then she will accompany you to the gallery of the room where the House of Representatives will hear testimony on the health care bill, The Crown Jewel of Socialism.

A TeaParty bus [Tea Party Express II: Countdown to Judgment Day], filled with enthusiastic patriots and headed for Washington D.C., stopped in Portland yesterday at Michael’s Sausage Co. where 600+ people (including some from Benton & Linn counties) met them and wished them safe travel. Please be sure to thank the management of Michael’s Sausage Co. (1111 S.E. Stark, Portland OR 97205) for hosting this gathering.

What’s the Pelosi Prescription for Govt-run Healthcare?
The Heritage Foundation, Friday, Oct 30, 2009

Here’s the plan:
  • Force all Americans to buy health insurance, regulate the private plans till they are too expensive, and then slowly expand the power and size of the public option as Americans are left with no choice but to turn to government run health care. That is how Pelosi aims to achieve Obama’s goal of “Everybody in, Nobody out” government run health care.

  • The costs are going to be staggering. Not only will health care quality and choice suffer as more and more Americans are forced onto a government plan that reimburses providers at low government set rates, but the price tag is guaranteed to skyrocket. The only way the House managed to keep their price tag as low as $1.05 trillion is by pretending that Congress would cut Medicare reimbursement rates by 20% in 2010. The full ten-year cost of being honest about the Medicare reimbursement rates would be $250 billion.

  • Less choice, lower quality health care, and trillion dollar deficits for years to come: that is the House’s prescription for health reform.
    Last Monday, Sen. Harry Reid introduced his version of a health care bill in the Senate.
Write your U.S. legislators and tell them what’s important to you in any health care reform. Reports are that Pelosi’s bill will be brought onto the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday.

It’s About Time!
In the wake of plunging support, Republican Dierdre Scozzafava suspended her campaign yesterday for a U.S. House seat in a special election. She thinks stepping aside is best for the Party.

The announcement comes after a poll found she was in third place with 20 percent of the vote in the heavily upstate New York district that is heavily Republican. Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman and Democratic nominee Bill Owens were too close to call with 35 percent and 36 percent, respectively.

The development consolidates Republican voters behind the conservative candidate and improves the Party’s chances of retaining the seat in the 23rd Congressional District. Big name Republicans like Sarah Palin and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson threw their support behind Hoffman, and money poured into his campaign from all over the country.

The election is Tuesday. Scozzafava, a member of the New York legislature, was chosen as the Republican candidate by Republican leaders in 11 counties, even though Scozzafava is more liberal than half the Democrats in the New York State legislature. The Party is accused of picking a candidate who doesn’t represent the true Republican party.

Many people say that a conservative Republican is what people are looking for, not a Republican who acts like a Democrat. We can see what big spending, corruption, and lack of principles regarding illegal immigration got us: back to back election defeats in 2006 and 2008. In the Republican National Committee (RNC) election of a new chairman, speaker after speaker said that to win, Republicans must be more moderate. Republican legislators surely weren’t conservative when they were spending and spending, or when they tried to grant amnesty to illegal aliens.

That’s why so many in New York’s 23rd Congressional District are turning to the Constitution Party’s Doug Hoffman to be their next Congressman.

Religious Freedom Is At Risk
What is properly called our “First Freedom,” the free exercise of religion, is under attack, said Elder Dallin H. Oaks in a recent talk at Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho.

There is a battle over the meaning of that freedom,” Elder Oaks said. “the contest is of eternal importance. It is your generation that must understand the issues and make the efforts to prevail.”

Referencing the religious rights and freedoms available to people living in the United states by the creation of a constitution by inspired men, Elder Oaks said that the guarantee of religious freedom in the U.S. Constitution “should make us ever diligent to defend it,” he added.

“Truly, this nation’s most important export is its Constitution, whose great principles stand as a model for ‘the rights and protection of all flesh.’ On the vital human right of religious freedom, many nations’ constitutions fall short of the protections that are needed. We are grateful that the United States seeks to encourage religious freedom all over the world. This freedom comes from God.”

“The greatest infringements of religious freedom occur when the exercise of religion collides with other powerful forces in society. Among the most threatening collisions in the United States today are, one, the rising strength of those who seek to silence religious voices in public debates; and, two, perceived conflicts between religious freedom and the popular appeal of newly alleged civil rights.

“The extent and nature of religious devotion in this nation is changing,” said Elder Oakes. “The tide in public opinion in favor of religion is receding, and this probably portends public pressures for laws that will impinge on religious freedom.

“It was the Christian principles of human worth and dignity that made possible the formation of the United States Constitution over 200 years ago, and only those principles in the hearts of a majority of our diverse population can sustain that Constitution today. Religious values and political realities are so interlinked in the origin and perpetuation of this nation that we cannot lose the influence of Christianity in the public square without seriously jeopardizing our freedoms. “I maintain that this is a political fact, well qualified for argument in the public square by religious people whose freedom to believe and act must always be protected by the Constitution of the United States,” said Elder Oaks.

Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”
Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: "Known as the 'father of modern American radicalism,' Saul D. Alinsky (1909-1972) developed strategies and tactics that take the enormous, unfocused emotional energy of grassroots groups and transform it into effective anti-government and anti-corporate activism. ... Some of these rules are ruthless, but they work." Republicans must be aware of what these tactics are so they can recognize them and counteract them.

7. Tactics
"Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. ... Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves." p.126

Always remember the first rule of power tactics (pps.127-134):
  1. "Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have."
  2. "Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat.... [and] the collapse of communication.
  3. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
  4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."
  5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."
  6. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
  7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time...."
  8. "Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose."
  9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
  10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign."
  11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative."
  12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
  13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.'...

    "...any target can always say, 'Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?' When your 'freeze the target,' you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the 'others' come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...'

    "One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other." (pps.127-134)

The White House has amplified there hearsay as stating the administration has generated 650.000 new jobs for Americans? But they have negated to disclose to the American population they imported 1,125.000 during the same period. Every one of us need to point out to every local media outlet, every politician in Washington and every working man and woman, their families that our own administration has issued an entry visa to more than a million working-age newcomers this year. That has had a negative effect on any positive impact attaining to the stimulus bill for U.S. workers. The majority of newcomers might have high technical skills, but America has its own collective reservoir of extraordinary men and women who have the same abilities. Huge companies are supposedly advertising for these unique opportunities in national media outlets by law. A video of an attorney with the law firm of Cohen & Grigsby discussing how a company can turn an H-1B worker into a permanent Green Card holder is a sad situation.

Their commentary demonstrates the disposition behind the entire process and callous attitude to unemployed US workers. "Their goal is clearly to find a highly skilled H-1B immigrant, because cheap labor is in abundance in poor foreign nations; willing to come to America. Observe a U-Tube youtube.com/watch?v=TCbFEgFajGU video of commentary that exemplifies the disposition behind the entire process: "Their goal is clearly not to find a highly skilled American job seeker, but an H-1B immigrant who can be exploited with low wages and fewer benefits that our people expect. Another aspect of this is undermining a genuine access to the legal population was the near disaster formulated by Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada. Sen. Reid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to staunch any nationwide use of E-Verify or other government efforts of enforcement? Shamefully, E-Verify cannot protect American competition from H-1B visas, but it has begun to dissipate the millions of jobs stolen by illegal labor in the country.

The Democratic leadership tried to throw out E-Verify because it was actually working, which was an instantaneously received a sudden--NO! NO!--from a furious voter back-lash when revealed. They have been caught pandering to a mob of anti-sovereignty politicians, outrageous business opportunists and radical open border caucuses and their open border lobbyists that have copious money to spend? These are tightly knit groups of career lawmakers having their hands crossed with silver and mostly undisclosed gifts for decades. This is why no truly enforced immigration laws have been rigidly enforced. You only have to look at the single layer border fence, that in all honesty has been under constructed so lawmakers could offer favors to large company contracts for specialized surveillance equipment; most malfunctioning at this time The truth being that the wall was meant to be double stranded, with a no-mans land separating both structures? View reports, statistics and undeniable facts at AMERICAN PATROL. Another working enforcement tool is the nationwide local police program 287 G. Again it's working, so now Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano under pressure has weakened its powers?

I don't think the American people understand that--IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT--is not supposed to be the absolute deterrent? Immigration enforcement is only supposedly--SEEN--to be working? Then when it does, like E-Verify, 287 G, ICE raids the pro-illegal alien forces start lobbying the already corrupt politicians to dilute the laws. Same with the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act, that its enforcement became obscured by distractions from its main purpose. AMNESTY--for those people who were legalized and all those who came after--immediate deportation? In appearance it looked like it was functioning, but it left a trail of fraud. Millions poured into America during that time offering deceptive documents expressing they had been resident in this country for 5 years. Ending up with the US government unable to handle the extra 3 million who appeared mysteriously from nowhere? Any new Amnesty will create another multi-million rush for the border, once President Obama declares this message. Previous Guest Workers once legalized disappeared from agriculture and took other jobs and increased unemployment for our own men, women, seniors and even our young folk. Neither side of the political cauldron has accepted the blame, for allowing millions of foreign national converging on a lax border. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE ALREADY BLED US DRY, WHAT MORE CAN WE GIVE...?

It really is just a mirage regarding immigration, because Wall Street and the mega companies have no intentions of letting go of cut price labor. The wealthy employers don't live in the same dimension as the average American, who lives with criminal alien activity and taxed continually to support not only the illegal immigrant occupancy but corporate welfare that benefits the 20 to 30 million illegal settlers. Lately American anti-illegal immigration, pro-sovereignty factions are achieving small triumphs? Alerted people have erupted in their constituencies, rousing their voices at 202-224-3121 in Washington. THE PEOPLE –stopped dead the tabling of E-verify, which is now funded for another 3 years. However we must keep continuously watch as HS head Janet Napolitano has already moderated the local police policy 287 G. My observations suggest to me that--ALL THIS WEAKENING--of immigration enforcement is leading up to the Democratic Representative from Chicago Luis V. Gutierrez, to commence the devastating push for another AMNESTY or as it’s called a path to citizenship.

How any of these political pawns can even construed this represents the majority of the American people? My sense is they will use deceptive means to achieve their goal; if at all? The economy is in dire straights, there are approximately 15 million legal populace jobless and are they really intending to force through some form of AMNESTY? The growing grassroots organizations need more patriotic reinforcements to repeatedly call their politicians, who are supposedly protecting American workers, keeping our nation from irreversible OVERPOPULATION that will condemn us to third world density in large cities and communities. We cannot continue to absorb millions of impoverished, poorly skilled individuals. We have for decades which our elected representatives have ignored and introduced a serious balkanization through illegal usurpers who remain un-assimilated, refuse to learn our language and introduced a host incorrigible third world logic, not patterned on the way the multitude of abiding citizens see our culture, life style and values.

An example is the killing of animals in backyards for some ritual sacrifice. On a grand scale driving while drunk and ending the life's of whole families on the highways or pedestrians. Underage ravishment of children, accepted as the norm in many foreign lands. Superiority over women that has marked Middle Eastern men, that disregard human rights, including the ending a life because of dishonor to the family. There are many innocuous instances of female genitalia mutilation, consistent with customs of countries that still exist in archaic corners of our world? Foreigners come to our nation and demand us as a nation; our people comply with their compliances, not the reverse. In Europe a major problem is arising regarding extreme religious beliefs, which is a danger to the Judeo-Christian culture from the mass immigration from countries that have been in upheaval for thousands of years. We live in a country of moderation, freedom of thought and speech given to us by the founding fathers.


WE MUST FIGHT BACK OR WE WILL BE IN-PERPETUITY PAYING FOR EVERY ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSER. TOURIST VISA OVERSTAY? OUR VOTING PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BY NO IDENTIFYING DOCUMENTS NEEDED OR OVERSIGHT OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS. NOW THE MOST BASIC LAW OF COUNTING THOSE PERMANENTLY RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES IS ALSO LIKELY TO BE COMPROMISED BY THE ENUMERATION OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, UNLESS SEN. VITTER CAN FORCE AN AMENDMENT INTO THE 2010 DECENNIAL CENSUS? If these questions are not asked it is certain that--ALL--these illegal aliens will be counted in the census and small states will lose billions of dollars in federal funds to states infamously designated as SANCTUARY STATES such as CALIFORNIA and gain Congressional seats (and electoral college votes) due to this counting of illegal aliens. Then we have Meg Whitman contender as the new Governor of Sanctuary State of California who approves of offering illegal immigrants another AMNESTY. As if the last one didn't cost a fortune in free health care, education and all the pre-requisite subsidies unavailable to low income citizens.

Why Europe is stomaching foreign immigrants dictating to Parliaments, the church is beyond my understanding, because it will eventually turn its population against these ideologies. The same as in the United States where trouble is already stirring, relating to another obnoxious possibility of BLANKET AMNESTY that is accepted by the US census bureau as a harbinger of population growth without restraints? It’s a premeditated fraud on the American people, as it was in 1986. It is being imposed upon us to fill the pockets of stockholders, investments to ream the pockets in companies nationwide. It's another avenue to lower the wages of US working men and women, to stealthily bring the free flow of access labor into our country? Read more at NUMBERSUSA, JUDICIAL WATCH & CAPSWEB for the abhorrent truth, not the propaganda of the Internationalists who are indifferent to our population.
