Shocking True Story of Catherine Engelbrecht vs. The Obama Government
Most Americans are now familiar with the news that the IRS has been targeting conservative groups and individuals based solely on their political beliefs. In Cuba or North Korea the government would imprison you. In the United States, we now have a progressive liberal establishment using the power of government agencies to harass, intimidate, and silence those who speak out against the policies of President Obama.
In a recent national television interview, Catherine Engelbrecht, of Houston, Texas, shared her individual story. She came forward because, as she said, "citizens should not fear their government."
Catherine is just an average citizen who was inspired to get involved in the political process. She founded "King Street Patriots" and "True the Vote"...
As she said in her interview, "The best way I can protect my family is to come forward and bring my story to the American people. I submit there are thousands more with stories just like mine to tell and I hope they will tell them. We're at an important time in the life of our country and we need to get the truth."
"If in fact the federal government is making a coordinated effort to single out individual citizens, then that is a problem that transcends politics and speaks right to the heart of what we are as a representative Republic." |

Immigration and Trust in Government: R.I.P. part 2

Immigration fight moves to the House with deep divide
The legalization-first fight will likely take the form of Democrats supporting a comprehensive bill versus Republicans in favor of dividing immigration into several separate bills. Dividing the issue would allow the House to pass border security and enforcement measures first and then to pass other measures -- legalization, guest workers, etc. -- that would take effect after the security increases are actually in place... |

Strange goings-on in the White House
The recent spate of Washington scandals has some liberals finally confessing in public what many of them have said privately for a long time. The Obama administration is arrogant, insular, prone to intimidation of adversaries, and slovenly when it comes to seeing that rules are followed. Indeed, the Obama White House is a strange place, and it's good that its operational model is now likely to be finally dissected by the media. -- Joe Klein of Time magazine laments Obama's "unwillingness to concentrate." |

Schumer-Rubio amnesty would legalize tens of thousands of offenders

Irish (and others) vie for voluminous visas in disastrous amnesty scheme
The Irish are back --- now with hands outstretched for a special visa category in the all-encompassing open-the-floodgates immigration bill because they believe they are special, what with their history of millions bailing off the island for export to America.

Labor union chief calls immigration bill dangerous, sees agency as 'approval machine'

Obama's goals on thin ice
It's impossible to predict the lasting impact of the controversies now besetting the Obama administration, but the risks to the president's agenda are sizable. -- On the legislative front, they could doom the already cloudy prospects for comprehensive immigration reform.

Memo from RINOs: We trust Barack Obama
It has come to our attention that some bitter-enders are clinging to their opposition to S.744, the Gang of Eight immigration bill now being considered by the Senate. The most vexing issue for us is the skeptics' lack of trust in the Obama administration's willingness to faithfully execute the immigration laws. Since the whole bill is predicated on trust in Obama, we wanted to dispel any lingering doubts you may have about the legislation. |
