"++ Personal Action Is Paramount
If we are to succeed at arresting Obama's radical plans for our
nation, it is imperative that citizens take immediate action in
helping us build a mighty coalition of at least ONE MILLION
grassroots resistors!
Simply stated, I'm calling on you, to help me reach 100
citizens with our "Resistance" message.
That's right. I need you to help me rally 100 citizens to our cause
by forwarding this and other critical updates to your friends,
family, co-workers, urging them to take IMMEDIATE ACTION by clicking here:

Because time is so critical, it's simply not enough to just forward
a message or two of your friends. We are talking about
our nation, the loss of our rights and freedoms, and a radical socialist
agenda that may take generations to recover from..."
I need you to take action right now!

INTERESTING FACTS
Some unreported stats about the 2008 election
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2008 Presidential election:
-Number of States won by: Democrats: 20; Republicans: 30
-Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000; Republicans: 2,427,000
-Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million; Republicans: 143 million
-Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2; Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in rented or government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

ACT-American Congress for Truth
The commentary below came to us from Walid Phares’ “Phareswire.” Even within the walls of a detention center, avowed jihadists are working and using every means possible to advance jihad. The jihadists’ tenacity and willingness to sacrifice themselves is a sobering reality and reminder of what we are up against.
I founded American Congress for Truth six years ago with the mission of educating concerned citizens about the serious threats emanating from radical Islam. And as you know, last year we launched ACT! for America, to educate and mobilize citizens for organized civic action.
American Congress for Truth continues to forge ahead in its mission. We are in the process of re-designing the website with the goal of making it the premier location for accessing education and information about all aspects of the threat we face. We are in the early stages of designing a national security education curriculum for high school students that, budget permitting, we will make available to interested schools and teachers next year.
At this time of year many people make end-of-year tax-deductible contributions to organizations they believe in. If you are one of those considering making such a contribution, we would be honored if you would consider making such a tax-deductible gift for the work of American Congress for Truth. Simply click here to make a safe and secure contribution online. Thank you!
Always devoted,

Guantanamo’s Jihad: The Show Begins…
Walid Phares
Al Qaeda’s great moment for propaganda has arrived, just as I predicted it would when I wrote about this in June. The Guantanamo trials will provide leading figures in the 9/11 massacre their “moment” to deliver a blow to America’s psyche, image and legal system.
A courtroom drawing shows Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,center, attending a pre-trial session at Guantanamo (AP)
As predicted, almost to the letter in my analysis in June, the men charged with plotting the September 11 attacks have declared their readiness to make confessions. According to the Associated Press the military judge assigned to their war crimes trial at Guantanamo Bay read aloud a letter in which the five co-defendants said they request an immediate hearing session “to announce our confessions.” The AP report added that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (aka KSM) has already told interrogators he was the mastermind of the attacks. “Now he’s telling the judge that he and the others want to make confessions at the trial.” The judge at the pre-trial hearing, Army Col. Stephen Henley, is asking each defendant if they are prepared to enter a plea. Three have agreed to do so.
So, is there an Al Qaeda plan being put into motion on the inside? Most likely there is as our knowledge of Al Qaeda training instructions has shown. –Both the government and media of the United States are ill-prepared for this type of jihadi propaganda warfare. Seven years after the beginning of the so-called “War on Terror,” the enemy’s ideology, strategies and methods still haven’t been officially identified. It is like using a Word War I mind set to fight World War II terror strategies.
Here is what the jihadists, both on the inside and the outside of the Guantanamo detention center are planning for:
First, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his comrades will use the so-called confessions deal to build a psychological environment for a martyrdom case: “istishaad.” They aren’t interested in saving their lives (at first, although they think they could) but in providing a maximum damage to their enemy through the tribunal proceedings. They will claim the court is not legitimate, the entire Guantanamo process as illegal and that they are ready to die as Jihadis in the path to Allah. Their first target is to grant themselves, in the eyes of millions of militants around the world the status of “Shuhada,” martyrs, even though they could survive it.
The “confessions” turned declaration of victory will be picked up by Al Qaeda and other jihadi groups and transformed into vital material for propaganda: videos, audio and texts. The “show” inside court will be used for indoctrination purpose around the world. A myth will be set in motion and emotional reactions to the “story” will be mutated into future revenge operations.
From there on, leave it to the architects of jihadi propaganda: statements made by the defendants will be used by operatives online, in the chat rooms but also on Al Jazeera (by callers and guests), and in other medium to widen the radicalization of youth in the Arab and Muslim world and within the West as well. An Al Qaeda “control room” will use the feed from the Guantanamo trials to produce a victory in their war of ideas against democracies. The fate of the 9/11 detainees isn’t the issue to Al Qaeda. By pledging loyalty to the “mission” through the so-called “confessions” or statements they have already sacrificed themselves ideologically. What KSM and his comrades are offering to their “brothers” around the world is an unbeatable series of images, footage and audio — pure gold for Al Qaeda propagandists and ideologues.
Ironically, during this time of transition between the two administrations in both the Bush and Obama teams may find they overlook the direct goals of Al Qaeda’s plan. As national security teams meet and wrestle over future options in the War on Terror (will some possibly end up just calling it a “war”?) the other side is waging its own war methodically, relentlessly and unstoppably. Every inch of room to maneuver is used to the maximum to weaken the enemy, even from within the walls of the detention centers. And that is only at Guantanamo that the defendants are openly admitting their responsibilities in spreading terror. Wait until the processing of jihadists hits our U.S. courts here on the mainland. What we see now is just the beginning.

Below is an article concerning unemployment and their beliefs of a need for more in the labor market - contact info provided - they should hear from you but first - commentary....................
How Long Before MALDEF, LULAC, and LaRaza
start screaming OUR familiar requests?
By Ruthie
It has been my belief that those aiding illegal aliens in the US - such as LaRaza, MALDEF, LULAC and others - would upon the passing of an amnesty/guestworker program (they under estimate the Patriots) - would then start making demands of fair compensation, salaries and positions.
With unemployment of those legally in the US (Americans and Legal Residents - no mention of their plight) with many losing their homes, with the increases in taxes and fees, we still see programs being passed or requested by organizations, politicians and those waiting to take a free ride of the American Dream - such as Bush's proposal for unlimited visa farm workers.
How long before these org's, and individuals realize that they will soon be singing the same demands - We The Patriots- are fighting for.
How long before they realize that they are nothing more than cheap labor and once they
obtain any form of a guestworker program and then make demands - they will be thrown under the bus - just like the legal working force in the US - and employers will just hire (at a cheaper rate) the new influx of never-ending farm workers and illegal aliens?
Unfortunately with this scenario - crime will increase, population growth will skyrocket, resources and our environment will be negatively affected - such as our future water supplies that no one tis discussing, demands for public assistance and welfare will be over the top - increased by those who (once consider illegal) will be without work due to the new group of illegal aliens entering the Country, etc.
The government will step up their control and Socialism will have set in.
We must not be deterred and continue to fight for our futures - the futures of generations to come and the United States of America.

Published December 12, 2008 11:40 pm - Businesses are agreeing that an up-and-coming workforce will be needed to grow the economy in the future. That's where immigration steps in.
Businesses: Immigration solution needed
Despite economy, workers need easier access
By Dan Linehan
Free Press Staff Writer
MANKATO —
Even with a sour economy pushing jobless rates up, business owners are asking the government for immigration reform that will ensure easier access to workers.
They’re also looking to a future when retiring workers will outnumber new
ones, requiring either a big boost in productivity or immigrants to grow the economy.
A demographer, business group and lawyer spoke at a forum Friday on the nexus of immigration and the economy.
Davis Family Dairies CEO Mark Davis said immigrant labor is an important part of any free-market economy, and the business community is well positioned to have a role.
“Who better to use than the guys writing the check?” he said.
Aging state, nation
State demographer Tom Gillaspy said Minnesota has prospered not because of an abundance of natural resources or fortuitous geography — it has neither — but because of a world-class workforce.
But long-anticipated demographic changes, especially an aging population, are poised to shape the future economy.
Next spring’s high school graduating class, he said, will be the largest class for more than a decade afterward. As the labor pool shrinks, competition will increase and migrating laborers will be more important, Gillaspy said.
Failed federal policy
John Keller, executive director of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, said most legal immigrants arrive in the United States through a family petition. This process takes as little as about a year, and as long as 25 years.
Alternatively, immigrants with in-demand, professional skills can become citizens, but unskilled immigrants almost always can’t, even if they’re sponsored by an employer who says they can’t be replaced. There aren’t nearly as many temporary work permits as there are requests from employers.
It’s those problems — long waits, and very limited work-related opportunities — that cripple the system.
Federal reform passed the Senate once, in 2006, but didn’t pass the House and reach the President’s desk. Instead, arrests and deportations have skyrocketed over the past few years.
Re-framing debate
The debate about immigration is dominated by the danger posed by illegal immigrants, said Bill Blazar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce.
But, according to state statistics provided by the chamber, illegal immigrants cost up to $188 million per year in education, public assistance and incarceration.
What often isn’t accounted for is the buying power of immigrants, or the jobs they create as employers
In late 2005, the state estimated that there are at least 80,000 illegal immigrants in Minnesota.
Blazar said existing illegal immigrants need a path to citizenship, a proposal its opponents have long derided as “amnesty” for law-breakers. Blazar thinks it’s more like probation — a period with rules that, if followed, provide an opportunity to legal status.
That prompted a question from the audience: Do we really want more workers if we have fewer native job-seekers?
Blazar said there are still some sectors that don’t have full employment. Besides, the current recession will end eventually, but the demographic problem will remain.
A dairy farmer in the audience agreed, saying he simply can’t get Americans to fill certain jobs, especially dirty ones.
