Is Lawsuit Against Sheriff Joe Arpaio Politically Motivated?

by American Grams on Friday, September 3rd, 2010


This video interview was released just days after the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Will this information help clear his name and the work he has done against illegal immigration?

Is it a coincidence that Sheriff Joe was cleared in an ICE investigation prior to the November 2008 election and then targeted for an investigation just months later after Obama and Janet Napolitano took office? It is no secret that Napolitano did not like Sheriff Joe. Now with the power of the Secretary of Homeland Security did she abuse her powers in office to target Sheriff Joe?

Illegal immigration is a huge problem in Arizona, with sections of the state off limits to US citizens. The Obama administration’s response is to file lawsuits against Arizona for passing SB1070 and against Sheriff Joe. They further insult Arizona and the United States by submitted a report to the United Nations alleging human rights violations based on Arizona’s immigration law. This law is based on federal law that has been in place for many years. Now it becomes an issue because a state enacts the same law! Something is very wrong.

It is the federal government’s legal responsibility to secure our border, yet they continue to leave it open, posts signs warning US citizens of the dangers caused by the invasion of Mexican drug cartels in the state of Arizona. If we had a president who was truly concerned about national security and the invasion taking place on the southern border, instead of putting up signs he would be sending out the military to take back our lands that are being stolen by Mexico.

Sheriff Joe and Jan Brewer are doing what they can to fight this invasion from Mexico and the assault by our own federal government. We are behind them!

Why Obama Won’t Be Impeached

by American Grams on Wednesday, August 4th, 2010


I have read several articles lately rightfully claiming the Obama should be impeached.  The power grab upon the United States parallels the likes of Hugo Chavez.  Any one of these acts should be ground for impeachment, but our current Congress refuses to take action.  Just about everything this administration has done goes against the Constitution, against states rights, against American citizens, against court rulings and against the will of the people.  But he continues to march on destroying this country, transforming it into his socialist/Marxist vision with Obama being dictator-in-chief.  He holds border security hostage for amnesty for illegals and threatens to use executive powers to achieve what Congress won’t pass, and then sues the state of Arizona for attempting to stop the invasion from Mexico.  Then there is the takeover of the auto industry, banking industry, Wall Street, health care system…where do you stop.

The problem – the current Congress can’t impeach Obama on these issues because they are also guilty of the same crimes!  If they found Obama guilty they would be implicating themselves in the same treasonous activities.  So this Congress will do nothing to stop the traitor-in-chief from continuing his destruction of the United States because to co-conspirators are playing judge and jury.

But the destruction of this country must stop and it can.  Many have looked into the background of Obama and is blatant refusal to produce the long form birth certificate proving his eligibility to be president in the first place.  I couldn’t obtain my passport with a properly certified birth certificate.  I had the original birth certificate with a stamped notarized seal, but that wasn’t good enough.  I had to order a new certified copy with the embossed seal just to get a passport.  My daughter has to produce her birth certificate, drivers license, social security card and two additional forms of proof of residency just to obtain a drivers license in Indiana!  So why is it unreasonable for the president of the United States to produce a valid, certified, long-form birth certificate.  Why has he spent millions of dollars protecting that document as well as others?  No one would spend that much money trying to cover up the truth if they were not guilty!

So, Congress needs to go after this usurper on the grounds that he is constitutionally not eligible to hold the office of the President at all.  Does this implicate others in a cover-up – absolutely.  But this country will be better off without Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano.  So if that ship sinks it needs to take the trash with it!

Many are concerned about the fallout should it be determined that Obama was never eligible to be president.  The country will survive!  Those of us around during Watergate know what the country can recover from.  We lost the President and Vice-President during the Watergate scandal, as well as a number of others, but the country survived.  The Constitution was developed by our founding fathers to preserve the country.  Yes, there will be consequences.  The laws passed in the middle of the night without Congress actually reading them and through backroom deals would not be valid.  But when you think of the abuse of power and unconstitutional standing these laws were based on then the only recourse is to remove these laws that should never have been passed in the first place.

We face tough times ahead of us, but if this country is going to survive as the republic it was formed to be, then drastic measures will need to take place in November and the months following to right the wrong that should never have been allowed in the first place.  We can survive!

Travel Warnings to Arizona

by American Grams on Thursday, July 1st, 2010


I guess the ACLU has become America’s travel advisor.  I just read an article titled “ACLU Issues Travel Warnings to Arizona” because of SB1070, which they claim could lead to racial profiling and warrantless arrests.  What really got me was this quote from Alessandra Soler Meetze, executive director of the ACLU of Arizona:  “There is a tremendous amount of misinformation out there about the law,” Soler Meetze said. “It’s a very complicated piece of legislation that gives police unprecedented powers to stop and question people about their identity and their citizenship.”

Wow! Has Meetze even read the law?  Unlike the laws passed by the federal government that “We need to pass ObamaCare so that the public can find out what’s in the bill” or “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works” (of the financial overhaul), the Arizona law is 17 pages of pretty straight-forward text.  Anyone actually listening to the governor of Arizona would know that the law strictly prohibits racial profiling, but I guess that concept is over the heads of the ACLU and other anti-Arizonan protestors.

A statement released by Brewer’s spokesman said the ACLU’s actions proved how “hopelessly out of touch they are with the vast majority of Arizonans, as well as most Americans.”

“The legislation includes very specific language that makes it abundantly clear that racial profiling is and will continue to be illegal in Arizona,” wrote spokesman Paul Senseman. “Instead of spreading fear, hate, and disinformation about the legislation, it would be helpful for the ACLU to instead join Governor Brewer’s demand that the federal government stop discussing and begin implementing an honest plan to secure our nation’s border.”

But, as I found out today, the rest of the United States is really out of touch with the problems of illegal immigration and the impact it has on the state and US citizens.  In a conversation I had with someone who has recently moved to Arizona from Ohio, when I mentioned the problems of illegal immigrants in the public schools, her response was “They let them attend school!  How are they allowed to get in?”  Really!  What planet has she been living on!

I guess that isn’t much different than the Milwaukee County Board Supervisor Peggy West who doesn’t think Arizona actually shares a border with Mexico, “but this is a state that’s a ways removed from the border…”

However, the warnings might be warranted, not from fear of the police, but from the violence from drug cartels and human smugglers.  The ACLU just doesn’t know the difference or could it be that their group might be classified as part of the latter group?

Oil Spill of Illegal Immigration

by American Grams on Tuesday, June 29th, 2010


For over 2 months we have had an out-of-control oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  Despite all efforts, the hole has not been plugged and oil continues to pour out into the gulf at an alarming rate.  The Gulf States are being destroyed economically as well as environmentally.

For several decades we have had out-of-control illegal immigration.  The Border States have been begging for assistance in stopping this invasion from the south but illegals, drug lords, human smugglers and anything else can pass freely through the border.  The Border States are being destroyed economically and environmentally.

What to these two problems have in common?  You cannot address the consequences and start the cleanup until you plug the hole – one being the drilling hole and the other an open border.

The Obama administration and Janet Napolitano want you to believe that both situations are “under control.”  Evidence proves otherwise.

In the CNSNews.com Article:  Napolitano: ‘You’re Never Going to Totally Seal That Border’ Napolitano was quoted as saying; “It’s a big border,” she said. “It’s 1,960 miles across that Southwest border.  It’s some of the roughest, toughest geographical terrain in the world across that border.  And so, the notion that you’re going to seal that border somehow is something that anybody who’s been involved in the actual doing of law enforcement–the front office work or the front line work of the law enforcement–would say, ‘You’re never going to totally seal that border.’”

So their answer is what – do nothing?

The states cannot continue to wait while the federal government does nothing.  So Alabama, Louisiana and Arizona have taken action to protect their state and citizens from the impending disaster.

Dirty Harry and His Bag of Dirty Tricks

by American Grams on Monday, June 28th, 2010


Dirty Harry is up to his shady tricks.  Immediately after Sharron Angle, a committed conservative, won the Republican primary, Harry Reid’s people put a vicious negative ad on the air.  It takes a quote of Sharron’s out of context to mislead voters into thinking that she means to “phase out” Social Security and Medicare.  This couldn’t be further from the truth.  Sharron wants to secure social security and Medicare benefits from the massive raids on the funds Harry Reid and company have approved in the past.

This is an example of Churchill’s quote that “a lie makes it halfway around the world before the truth puts its shoes on in the morning.”

The people of Nevada and the United States do not need another 6 years of Dirty Harry and company.  They don’t need more back room deals and lies.  We need to get the shoes on before the lie has time to start walking.

Here is the Sharron Angle video to set the record straight.

Obama Administration considering Executive-Order Amnesty for millions because can’t get votes in Congress

by American Grams on Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010


How much abuse of power do American citizens have to take?  More government corruption, more government abuse, more Chicago-style politics.

I receive an email with the startling news at Obama is considering using an executive-order to provide amnesty for illegals.  This came from NumbersUSA:

Seeing that most Members of Congress are scared to death to vote for an amnesty in an election year, Administration officials are working on ways to do a de facto amnesty without involving Congress.

In a nutshell, there is discussion going on within the Administration about stopping nearly all deportations, presumably until “comprehensive immigration reform” can be passed to give illegal aliens full work and residency rights permanently.

I am guessing that this is what religious leaders were hinting at the Brookings conference I attended last week. They indicated that they had been talking with Administration officials about a way to help illegal aliens without having to deal with Congress. They then said they had better not say any more about it.

Friends, U.S. Presidents have proven whether Republican or Democrat that they are capable of doing almost anything they please until they come up for re-election. Only an incredible outburst of outrage from the public can stop the Administration from doing a de facto amnesty all by itself.

We need all 535 Members of Congress to know about the De Facto Amnesty Plot — and to know that you know. We want Democrats in Congress to begin to tell their Leaders and the White House that even the hint that this amnesty could happen will hurt their chances of winning in the fall. We want Republicans to start threatening to use the Plot as a campaign issue.

We want the White House to publicly promise that it will NOT unilaterally proclaim an amnesty. Short of that, we want to see the White House forced to deny over and over that such a plot is even underway.

This is a copy of the letter sent to Obama from 8 Senators:

Dear President Obama:

Obama tells Kyl in private Oval Office meeting: I won’t secure border b/c then Republicans will have no reason to support “comprehensive immigration reform.”

by American Grams on Sunday, June 20th, 2010


Apparently the Obama agenda is more important than our national security and fulfilling their obligations in enforcing laws of the United States.  Obama is holding border security hostage in order to further his personal agenda – AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS.  The president and congress have a duty to the country to secure the borders, yet they are REFUSING to do so.   If they refuse to uphold the constitution, then maybe it is time to fire them – time to impeach!

promoted from the diaries because duplicity should be publicized

On June 18, 2010, Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told the audience at a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office, the President told him, regarding securing the southern border with Mexico, “The problem is, . . . if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’” [Audible gasps were heard throughout the audience.] Sen. Kyl continued, “In other words, they’re holding it hostage. They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”

Sen. Kyl also said he reminded President Obama that the President and the Congress has an obligation, a duty, to secure the border.

(This part of Sen. Kyl’s remarks begins at the 3:17 mark of the video below.)

Obama: Everything goes from BAD to WORSE.

Know Democrats, Know Despair.
No Democrats, No Despair.

Mexico Invades Arizona, Obama Ignores Threat

by American Grams on Thursday, June 17th, 2010


The United States is being invaded from Mexico and the federal government is doing nothing to protect the country. In fact, the Obama government is supporting this invasion and today is telling American citizens to stay out of three southern Arizona counties because it is too dangerous. Those controlling that section of Arizona are armed smugglers.

FOX News reporter: “Would you like to see some of the president’s outrage about the oil spill and some of the butt-kicking that he’s talked about doing applied there on the border as well?”

Sheriff Paul Babeu: “Even with that, you say one thing and then you’re out at a fundraiser in California and you don’t go to the funeral of the people who died in the explosion. You know its one thing to say something slick on television in a ten second soundbite but we need action. And, it’s shameful that we as the most powerful nation on earth can win wars and liberate countries throughout history yet we can’t even secure our own border.”

Is anyone in the government paying attention? When does an armed invasion from foreign countries become more than just the “mom and pop family trying to making a better life for themselves” that requires the federal government to take military action? How much land do we need to lose to foreign countries before someone in authority decides they have declared war?

This is 3,500 acres of southern Arizona on the Mexican border and the United States can’t secure the area! Our military can go into other countries to defend and fight for them, but can’t fight for the citizens of the United States from an invasion taking place today on our own soil.

If the federal government cannot protect the citizens of the United States, then the state of Arizona should be able to take the necessary action by whatever means to protect the citizens of the state. At what point does the United States determine Mexico has declared war on Arizona and the United States?

Constitution of No

by American Grams on Friday, June 11th, 2010


NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE
June 8, 2010
Constitution of No
If President Obama’s motto is “Yes, we can,” the Constitution’s is “No, you can’t.”

By U.S. Senator Jim DeMint

When a reporter asked House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) during a press conference last year where the Constitution granted Congress the authority to enact an individual health-insurance mandate, she answered, “Are you serious? Are you serious?” Speaker Pelosi then dismissed the question and moved on to the next reporter.

This exchange illustrates the way “yes we can” liberals treat the Constitution: They simply ignore it when it gets in the way of their big-government bailouts and takeovers.

Democrats have always been the “party of go,” bent on transforming America with their “living Constitution,” which changes to suit the political whims of the day. That’s why Republicans shouldn’t flinch when they are criticized as being the “party of no.” Saying no is necessary to uphold the freedoms on which our nation was founded.

The Constitution is full of no’s. It is by telling the government what it cannot do that the Constitution protects our freedoms. The Founders loathed tyranny and sought to erect a government ruled by law, not people. As Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense, “in America the law is king.”

The First Amendment says that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” or abridging freedom of speech, freedom of the press, or the right to assemble and petition government. Americans are allowed to keep and bear arms because the Bill of Rights says that this right “shall not be infringed.” It also says no to unreasonable search and seizure, and to cruel and unusual punishment. The Fifth Amendment says that the government cannot deprive a person of life, liberty, or property without due process, and that private property cannot be taken without just compensation. The Eighth Amendment says no to excessive bail and fines, and the Tenth Amendment says powers not explicitly given to the federal government in the Constitution go to the states or the people. The Bill of Rights says no to the federal government over and over again.
