WAKE-UP AMERICA! We have all been asleep while our leaders are doing their best to change the America we once knew and loved.
STAND-UP--We're under severe pressure from the leftist eletists who will ram their ideologies down our throats and bankrupt the nation if we don't fight back. It is, and will be, Chicago-style politics from now and forward with them.
SPEAK-UP--Our president and his cabinet are cosying up to the Islamic leaders, Islamic nations, and doing all they can do to denigrate Christians and our Christian heritage. President Obama has stated "We are not a Christian nation". He refused to allow Franklin Graham to lead the annual "Day of Prayer" and instead supported an "Islamic day of prayer" at the White House.

Obama has failed to enforce Federal Law regarding illegal aliens (for fear of losing the Hispanic voting base) and when Arizona enacted a law to do what the White House has failed to do, the White House appointed the attorney General, Eric Holder, to bring a law suit against Arizona. Meanwhile the president has instructed ICE officials to release all detained illegal aliens if they have no criminal records. This is his way of starting amnesty for illegal aliens .It is a back-door ploy for hispanic votes in the upcoming elections.

I don't know about you, my readers, but I am fed up with Obama's lack of leadership, his Chicago-style partisan politics and his political Czars that support him in his socialistic plans. If there were an opportunity to vote to impeach this president, I would be the first in line to sign it. Certainly we need to get out and vote Out-of-office the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and eventually Barack Obama.

Here are a couple of quotes I ran across this week (authors unknown):

  • "The most ignoble death of all is when freedom dies in its sleep." WAKE-UP AMERIICA!We must defend our freedom from Imperialistic government leaders.
  • "If you don't stand-up for our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them."

    Our constitution, our way of life, are all being altered by Socialistic (even Marxist) leaning leaders, judges ruling from the bench, and complete ignorance of the will and desires of the majority of our people.

    I am not a "tea party Member", if there is such a thing, but I am in complete agreement with what they stand for:

  • Smaller government
  • Lower taxes
  • Abolishing "earmarks"
  • Fiscal responsibility
  • "A government of the people,by the people and for the people"--Abraham Lincoln
  • Abolish estate taxes
  • Overturn the Obamacare health plan
  • Abolish the death tax
  • An environment that encourages small business and thus promotes job growth

    I could rant on and on, but each of us in his own way must face honestly the situation in our country today. FIRST,WAKE-UP to the realities, SECOND, STAND-UP for what is right (forget political correctness).THIRD, SPEAK-UP , Let your voice be heard loud and clear! Let's take back our country! And let's start with the November elections.

    Following are some quotes that I found apropos to these subjects:

  • " We must all hang together or, surely , we will all hang separately."---Benjamin Franklin"
  • Stand Upright,Speak thy thoughts, declare the truth that thou hast,that all may have; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere; they only live who dare."---Voltaire
  • "We will stand-up for our friends in the world. and one of the most important friends is the State of Israel."---George W. Bush
  • They (the Obama administration) were unable to stand-up and say 'Here's our policy. It's "Unite the world against terrorism."----Chris Whitman"

    I fully expect to get negative press from a few of you, but, when it is too late, remember that I was one more voice that tried to sound the alarm.

    God Bless America-------Jim '
