Only one Congressman had the personal courage and the profound respect for our Constitution to stand on the floor of the House of Representatives and exercise his right and his responsibility to bring Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush - Ohio Representative Dennis J. Kucinich.

Now, Americans who cherish our Democracy and the Constitutional principles upon which it was founded can stand up, speak out, and take action by signing the one official petition that carries the full and unqualified support of the one and only original sponsor of the impeachment resolution: Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich.

Kucinich Petition

WHEREAS, in his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed abuses of power.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and Commander in Chief, and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States and that he be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.

House panel votes to cite Rove for contempt

July 30, 2008 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House panel Wednesday voted to cite former top White House aide Karl Rove for contempt of Congress as its Senate counterpart publicly pursued possible punishments for an array of alleged past and present Bush administration misdeeds.

Voting along party lines, the House Judiciary Committee said that Rove had broke the law by failing to appear at a July 10 hearing on allegations of White House influence over the Justice Department, including whether Rove encouraged prosecutions against Democrats.

The committee decision is only a recommendation, and it was unclear whether Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., would allow a final vote. Rove has denied any involvement with Justice decisions, and the White House has said Congress has no authority to compel testimony from current and former advisers.

The vote occurred as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on allegations of administration wrongdoing ranging from discriminating against liberals at Justice to ignoring subpoenas and lying to Congress.

Rove has denied any involvement with Justice decisions, and the White House has said Congress has no authority to compel testimony from current and former advisers.

The Senate proceedings were the latest congressional review of the White House, a constitutionally mandated power that majority Democrats are eager to use. But three months from Election Day, a lame-duck Congress conducting oversight of a lame-duck White House produces mostly talk. There’s little time and less willingness to spend the remaining five weeks of the congressional session doing more than holding televised hearings to try to convince voters that President Bush has abused the powers of his office.

The allegations certainly are serious.

Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine, who reported this week that former department officials broke the law by letting Bush administration politics dictate the hiring of prosecutors, immigration judges and career government lawyers, was among the witnesses to appear Wednesday before the Senate panel.

Fine said his office and Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility are investigating the prosecutor firings and whether Bradley Schlozman, former head of the department’s Civil Rights Division, used political or ideological criteria to make hiring decisions.

Under questioning by Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the panel’s senior Republican, Fine said he uncovered no evidence that any Justice officials involved made false statements to Congress or violated criminal law. Politicization of the hiring process for career positions is a violation of civil law and department policy, he said.

The Senate probe sprang from Justice’s firings of nine federal prosecutors that sparked congressional investigations last year and led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

House and Senate Democrats said the findings affirmed their contention that career Justice employees were hired and fired based on whether they were deemed sufficiently conservative, a violation of law. House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers said he was considering bringing criminal charges against some of the former officials named in Fine’s report who may have lied to his committee. Lying to Congress is a crime, but there’s little agreement among Democrats on whether a perjury referral against some of the officials is warranted.

But one Republican acknowledged there’s reason to look more closely. And everyone wants more answers by the Department of Justice. The question is what will be done now in the twilight of the 110th Congress and the Bush presidency.

“I’m glad to see Attorney General (Michael) Mukasey asking to change these practices,” Specter said earlier. “I’d like to see frankly a very forceful statement out of the Department of Justice as to what they intend to do.”

Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy called the report’s findings that “cronyism was valued over competence” and “affirmative action of the worst kind.”

“The question is what Attorney General Mukasey and the president do about it to provide accountability?” the Vermont Democrat said.

Some Democrats skipped right to thinking what can be done starting in January, after a new president and Congress are installed, probably with more Democrats in their ranks.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who led the investigation into the prosecutor firings, is pressing Fine to say whether making such a disregard of civil service rules a crime would deter the kind of conduct his investigation uncovered.

Similar legislation will be considered in the House.

“I will be asking Chairman Conyers to consider legislation to ensure that the politicization of hiring of career employees at the Justice Department never happens again,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement.

Big Brother’s forces of tyranny are making a major push in Congress right now—If you support freedom over fascism then you must help stop the E-Verify System.(The Save Act)

July 30, 2008 By: Freedom Fighter Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

Action Alert! Action Alert!

URGENT!!

For Freedom E-Verify System
Must Be Stopped

URGENT Effort Needed NOW!

Big Brother’s forces of tyranny are making a major push in Congress right now to re-authorize E-Verify.

This massive data bank essentially will dictate who can be hired in this country. It is the brainchild of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is an electronic employment verification (EEV) program.

The plan is to make E-Verify mandatory for all American workers. E-Verify is hugely flawed, and will have devastating effects on both naturalized U.S. citizens, as well as those who were native-born, if it is not stopped. We stand in a narrow window of opportunity - if E-Verify is not re-authorized in both houses before the September adjournment, the program will expire in November.

One man, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has taken a stand to stop E-Verify. He has put a Senate hold on the reauthorization legislation - and he needs our immediate, vocal, and continuous support to stand up to massive forces who are lying to you about this dangerous program.

You and the American Policy Center have had a tremendous impact on the illegal alien debate. Your efforts have placed substantive roadblocks not only in the paths of those seeking amnesty for criminal invaders, but also those seeking to register every working American.

Yet there are now multiple bills, in both the House and Senate, aimed at re-authorizing the flawed E-Verify program. If successful, any one of these bills will shackle U.S. citizens to a hugely-flawed national database that:

  • will not safeguard the United States from terrorists;
  • will not preserve what’s left of our Rule of Law; and
  • will further decimate our liberty.

APC stands opposed to Big Brother’s surveillance over our lives - no matter the reason. As Benjamin Franklin so sagely opined, “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” The United States already has laws on the books to prevent the lawbreaking and abuse directed at our nation and her citizens; they need only be enforced. Americans must not be herded into DHS’ surveillance system because of these lawbreakers, or for any other excuse.

The E-Verify program currently mandates that all federal agencies and all federal sub-contractors must use the E-Verify System in order to hire new employees. One major problem with E-Verify is that DHS first checks a worker’s eligibility through the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Numident database.

The fact is, SSA never purges a Social Security number once it is assigned. The Numident database currently contains 435 million records; more than 100 million more than the nation’s total population, legal or otherwise. In December 2006, the SSA Inspector General reported approximately 18 million of these records are not accurate. Yet DHS wants E-Verify re-authorized, and made mandatory for the entire American workforce. Just imagine the disruption already suffered by millions of American citizens as they try to work and support their families. That hardship will only grow much worse if E-Verify is re-authorized and made mandatory for every working American citizen.

It is outrageous to propose that the very foundation of our great nation - the hard working, legal Americans, must now submit to having their personal information placed in a massive DHS database, and be registered in a DHS worker registry, before being authorized to work in our own country. This is an outrage! And the presumption that DHS can better find millions of illegal, undocumented workers by first herding them together with a hundred+ million legitimate workers is absurd.

A study by the Cato Institute found the E-Verify program to be ineffective, intrusive, and expensive. “A full-fledged Electronic Employment Verification (EEV) system has many practical and technical problems - to say nothing of the question of whether it is appropriate for a free country - and would still fail to prevent illegal immigration” says Jim Harper, Cato’s director of Information Policy Studies. Mr. Harper further stated, “The things necessary to make a system like this really impervious to forgery and fraud would convert it from an identity system into a cradle-to-grave biometric tracking system.”

E-Verify sets the stage for a national workforce management system, designed ultimately to subject all of us to an intrusive global surveillance system.

E-Verify will not prevent illegals from working in the United States, but rather help identify illegals the government wants converted to “authorized aliens.”

Such a national human resource management system is highly desired by big business, and has been under implementation since the 1990s. Federal executive involvement is nothing less than fascism.

It is an unjustified and unwarranted intrusion into our privacy, and a very real threat to our security and liberty!

Please be warned: There are forces now pushing for your support of the E-Verify system, telling you that it is necessary for tough enforcement to protect us from illegal immigration and terrorism. They are lying!

If you support freedom over fascism then you must help stop the E-Verify System.

ACTION TO TAKE

1. It is imperative you immediately contact Senator Robert Menendez. Tell him:

  • Stand your ground; oppose re-authorization of E-Verify!
  • Oppose any electronic employment verification program for American citizens.

And please thank Senator Menendez for taking the heat he is on this vital issue!

Just Say NO to the Save Act

SAVE ACT H.R. 4088 -THE SECURITY THROUGH VERIFICATION AND ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 2007 WILL DELIVER UNITED STATES CITIZEN TO CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT

Wrong Information May Lead to Passage of Very Bad Immigration Bill

Some of our allies in the fight to stop illegal immigration are circulating alerts asking you to support the SAVE ACT (H.R. 4088). This bill, otherwise known as the “Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act of 2007” is said to have strong bi-partisan support and is on a fast track for passage.

The American Policy Center has read this legislation and is issuing this Alert AGAINST the Save Act Here’s Why:

· The SAVE Act does not fund the existing fencing requirement authorized, but not funded, last year by Congress.

· The SAVE Act only authorizes “additional fencing (aesthetic fencing in business districts) in urban areas of the border.”

· The SAVE Act, instead of fencing, proposes to strengthen the rest of the border with “vehicle barriers.”

· The Save Act specifies the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will “(contract) with Foreign Companies “for the Secure Border Initiative, and proposes purchasing of a contract to manage the operations of a United States port by a foreign entity”(emphasis mine).

· The SAVE Act will specifically defend a religious denomination for breaking the law by smuggling or harboring illegals and it says “…to encourage, invite, call, allow, or enable an alien who is present in the United States to perform the vocation of a minister or missionary…as a volunteer who is not compensated…notwithstanding the provision of room, board, travel, medical assistance, and other basic living expenses (if that person) has been a member… at least one year.”

· The SAVE Act states clearly that the “border protection strategy” of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture “(will support) the border security needs of the United States in the manner that best protects (Wait for it) ‘the land’ that DOI and USDA manages. In other words, protecting the environment is to be considered more important than protecting the borders.

· The SAVE Act establishes mandatory federal employment authorization verification for ALL workers, including American citizens. A Federal data bank on all American workers.( “Electronic-verification may take from one to four years”…Loretta T. Weston).

· The SAVE Act mandates states must create standardized birth and death registrations to be part of the federal database on ALL Americans, including your children. This is a main provision of the Real ID Act-which establishes the national ID card.

· The SAVE Act does not establish penalties in the form of fines and/or imprisonment for illegal invaders, only for those who interact with them, except a church.

· Reading this bill, it is evident that its intent is not to stop the invasion of illegals, but to convert those illegals into “authorized” aliens. Worse, it does advance the pernicious “National Human Resource Management System that has been implemented piecemeal since the 1990s. DHS is helping establish a cradle- to- grave government database that will track all “human resources’ for the benefit of big business. This database will detail not only every American resident’s status (your data will also become part of an international database), but also their work skills.

· If you remember, recently DHS Secretary Chertoff said that he would not “tolerate interference” with his agency’s programs and actions. True to his word, in total disregard for the U.S. Constitution and States’ rights, the SAVE Act includes a provision stating, “No state may prohibit a person or other entity from using the E-verify program to verify the employment authorization of new hires or current employees.” In short the bill dictates hiring rules to the states

We realize it’s unlikely many of you actually read through legislation we ask you to take positions on. You rely on the American Policy center to get issues right, from the perspective of real, everyday, unapologetic Americans, dedicated to Judeo-Christian ethics and our blessed Constitutional Republic. We earnestly strive to preserve, protect and defend this nation and her people by telling you the truth as we find it, giving you facts and commentary you’re not likely to read from other sources.

APC has read H.R. 4088 and it’s clear that passage of the Save Act will not secure our nation’s borders, will not safeguard her citizens, will not preserve what’s left of our Rule of Law, and will further decimate our economy. For all the reasons outlined above, the American Policy Center will not support the SAVE Act, or any + contact us by email through our website www.americanpolicy.org.

ACTION TO TAKE


It is imperative you immediately call your member of Congress, and tell them to oppose H.R. 4088, also known as the SAVE Act.

Also immediately call Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi; House Majority Whip, Steny Hoyer: House Minority Leader, John Boehner; and House Minority Whip, Roy Blunt. Tell them all to oppose the SAVE Act. This bill may come up for a vote at any time. Call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the house office you request.

The SAVE Act is on fast track for passage. Many of us who oppose illegal aliens have been encouraged to support it. So many elected officials are getting the false message that this is a good bill. IT IS NOT! It is urgent that you call now to oppose H.R. 4088.

The information on the Save Act was written by President and Founder of the American Policy Center, Tom Deweese. www.americanpolicy.org.

Congressman Adrian Smith writes on his website, under issues, illegal immigration, “Our Immigration System Is Broken And Needs Fixed.”

Do you think our Immigration System is broken? Or is our government not enforcing our current immigration laws? Is current Immigration legislation that passed enforced? What happened to the fence and border guards?

PLEASE CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN. ASK THEM NOT TO CO-SPONSOR OR VOTE FOR SAVE Act H.R. 4088…CALL EVERYDAY IF YOU CAN.

PLEASE READ H. R. 4088 SAVE Act…Go To: thomas.gov…type in search text box H.R. 4088 Save Act…Check circle bill search… Click search.
