The Alamo

I am sending this out because I think there are many that believe they are alone in their beliefs of what this country is supposed to be. Evermore, I think many people believe that their voices are going unheeded or ignored. The following is a little lengthy but worth the read. Please do so, it took me a while to get the information for you but I think at the end of it you will hopefully feel more connected to the rest of us who are continuing the fight.

Most people have heard of "The Alamo", but most do not know the whole story behind it. So here it goes The Alamo was not a fort, it was a mission. It was turned into a fort for the coming battle with Santa Ana's Army. When the battle of the Alamo began there were more that 4000 soldiers in Santa Ana's Army. Do you know how many Texans there were at the Alamo? There were 188. Do you know what the battle of the Alamo was about? Texas had just declared its independence and was forming it's own Republic, it's own Country. Just a few weeks after the declaration, Santa Ana gave Commander Travis the ultimatum to either give up or his Army would encompass The Alamo and it would be taken by force. Again, there were more than 4000 soldiers in Santa Ana's Army and only 188 Texans in the Alamo, that is about 20 to 1 odds. After the first 24 hours of continued bombardment, Santa Ana sent a request for surrender to Commander Travis. Commander Travis responded to Santa Ana that in the 24 hour bombardment, he had not lost a single man, had suffered no losses. He went on to say that he had no intention of surrendering The Alamo.

After a weeks of fighting, Commander Travis sent a letter to Sam Houston to request reinforcements, stating that he knew Sam Houston was facing problems of his own and to send help when he could. The fight went on for another 3 days and Commander Travis sent one final plea to Sam Houston. Travis stated in his letter that he intended to fight as long as possible but understood that they would not be able to hold without reinforcements. He told Sam Houston that if they were to parish before help arrived, to look out for his son. He went on to say that if Santa Ana was defeated, then his death would mean untold fortune for his son and for all Texans. But, if Texas would fall, that his son would have the honor of knowing that his father stood toe to toe for the freedom Texas held, if it would have survived.

Under the flag of Texas, Travis wrote, give me liberty, or give me death. After 13 days of fighting, The Alamo finally fell. After 13 days, all 188 men that fought at the Alamo were dead, and over 600 of Santa Ana's men perished. Sam Houston was able to use the time the men at the Alamo gave him, to raise an all volunteer army and go on to defeat Santa Ana. Texas did become it's own Republic, it's own Country for a little while before agreeing to become part of the United States.

Most people who hear this story say yea, but they lost. Did they? I think they made the ultimate sacrifice in order to buy time for Sam Houston to raise an army and defeat Santa Ana. I think the men at the Alamo knew exactly what they were doing and what the outcome was going to be, but decided that the formation of their own country was worth more than their own lives. I tell this story to give you hope, that your voice is being heard. We may not be seeing the results as quickly as we would like, but we are giving the good people who are in Washington time to gather alliances and formulate a plan to get our country back on track. Do not give up, do not surrender. Just because you feel you are one voice, one person, do not stop. Continue to voice your views, continue to call your representatives and make your voice heard. WE THE PEOPLE, the first three words in the Constitution, these words are there for a reason. It is WE THE PEOPLE that make up this country and it is WE THE PEOPLE who will take it back. Remember, you are not alone! Thanks for reading. Earl

Al Gore tell children not to listen to their parents.

I wanted to let you know what happened with 3000 children and Al Gore during the Presidential Inauguration. If this does not get your blood boiling, I don't know what will. I am sending this to inform you of what is being taught in the schools and how they are subverting your power as a parent. Please pay attention and stay informed as to what is being taught to your children.

In a nutshell, Al Gore was speaking with 3000 children ages 12 and up about Global Warming. He went on to say that there are some things that these children are smarter than their parents in certain things. Can you imagine someone telling your 12 year old child that they are smarter than you are and that they do not need to listen to you regarding these things because they know better than you.

Please let me know what you think and pass this email along to all your friends and family so they can become aware. Earl http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/21049/

A.I.G. Ruse

I want to address the uprising that has been occurring since the release of the information concerning the bonus's given to certain AIG executives. First all, let me say that if the executives that are part of AIG that is failing are getting these bonuses, I am against rewarding failure.

Now on to the meat of it. AIG has seven separate departments under the umbrella name of AIG. Only two of them are having the financial problems that is bringing it down, the rest of the departments remain profitable. So when you hear about AIG executives getting bonuses, the first thing that needs to be considered is whether the executives are part of the corporation that is still a viable, profit making division or are they part of the divisions that are causing the trouble.

The real story though, is all the executives are entitled to these bonuses regardless of which division they belong to. Let me explain. When congress passed the stimulus bill, Chris Dodd, (the Senator of Connecticut) purposely placed in this bill an exception stating that any contracts that were in place on or before the date in the bill ( sometime in February), would have to be paid their bonuses agreed to in their existing contracts with AIG. Furthermore, Chris Dodd was the number on recipient of campaign contributions from AIG, with Obama being second. Now, because it has become politically unattractive to be associated with this company, Chris Dodd was the first to come out against these bonuses and demand repayment. Again, it is politicians playing politics. They could have cared less about these bonuses if the people would not have started rising up against them.

But, the people are addressing the wrong issue. They are going after these 63 people who received these bonuses instead of going after the politicians who, for one, wrote the exception into the bill in the first place. and two, the majority of the politicians in Washington who did not even read this bill before signing it into law. If they had, they would have known about the exception and would have not had it included in the bill prior to signing it. So we have one of two things happening with the politicians in Washington. One, they are totally inept, by not reading this bill prior to signing it, what else is in this bill that is going to come back to bite them? and Two, they are corrupt by knowing of this exception and allowing it to remain in place. In either case, it is bad news for We The People. In addition to the above, the politicians in Washington are now trying to force these bonus earners to return their legally received bonuses or else they are going to try and recover the money by implementing a special tax in the amount of 100%.

Here is the problem with that. One, these are legally signed contracts by the company and the individuals long before the crises that they are facing. These contracts legally binding and if the government did not want these bonuses to be pain, they should have let the company declare chapter 11 bankruptcy in order to void the contracts and renegotiate new ones. But by giving them bailout money, they in essence forced these companies to uphold the contracts and pay the bonuses.

And most importantly two, it is against the first article of the Constitution for the government to impose a tax on a specific part of the population and it is against the first article of the Constitution for the government to interfere with legal contracts between private citizens as well as establish laws that would penalize citizens retroactively. What this means is that the government can not pass a law that states that as a gun owner, you are now responsible for any deaths that have occurred for the past fifty years and they are now going to retroactively charge you taxes for all the medical payments for medical treatment that gunshot victims received over the past fifty years. This was put into the Constitution for the sole purpose to prevent the government from doing what is trying to do right now with these citizens receiving these bonuses. Please pass this along to all your friends and family and co-workers so they understand that their anger is misplaced. It is not the employees of AIG that they should be angry at, but Chris Dodd and the members of our government who intentionally forced this company to pay these bonuses in the first place. Thanks, and keep fighting the good fight. Earl

Border War

I want to address the Border between the United States and Mexico. There is a war going on in Mexico and it is not being reported on by the main stream media here in the United States. Why does this matter to us here in America? The following will explain why it matters and why you should be on the phone and fax, contacting your representatives of both the House and the Senate to let them know how you feel about the border being protected, and fenced.

Let me start out by saying that whenever this subject is approached within the main stream media, they always resort to name calling such as Bigget, hater, prejudice,etc. These different names are used by design to quiet the decent of the population and those who would try and make a serious argument for border security. Let me say right now that those of us who believe in border security are none of the names listed above, but we are one name that was not mentioned. We are Americans.

In Mexico, there is a war going on between the Mexican Drug Cartels and the Mexican Government. This was has been going on for the past couple of years but has escalated in the last 16 months to a scary level. In 2008, there were more that 4000 killings in Juarez Mexico. Most people will say so what, what has that got to do with us, Well, Juarez is the border city of El Paso, TX. The only thing that separates the two cities is a small border crossing and a even smaller creek. By the way, out of the 4000 who were killed, there were many hundreds who were beheaded and their heads hung on stakes to intimidate the law enforcement officers who they were fighting. In addition, many of those who were beheaded were the officers who was fighting these Cartels. Now, in the first three months of 2009, Juarez is on target to double the number of killings from the previous year. Now remember, this is right across the border (open) from a major U.S. city. The name of the most violent Cartel is Las Zetas. The reason this Cartel is not only the most violent but the most worrisome for the United States is because our military trained many members of it. Let me explain. A few years ago, the United States and Mexico formed a joint venture to assist Mexico with the growing drug problem and the growing Cartels. In this venture, we sent our Special Forces to Mexico to train their drug-enforcement officers in Special Forces Tactics in order for them to gain an advantage when they went up against these heavily armed militia type cartels. Well, as these things usually go, the men that were trained found it more profitable to hire their services out to the Cartels rather than working for the Mexican Government. Therefore, the men soon went AWOL from the drug enforcement service and started working for the Cartels. Not only that, but in addition to assisting the Cartels in the smuggling operations, they were also training other members of the cartels in the Special Forces Tactics that they were taught. As of this day, they estimate that there are several thousand members of the Las Zetas cartel who have this Special Forces Training. The police are no match for these guys. Now the Mexican military is also involved in the war on the cartels, but again they are no match of the member of the cartels who have this specialized training. In addition to drug running, the Las Zetas are believe to be assisting Al Quieda is getting across our open borders by providing security for the coyotes who are bringing them across. It is believed that they have assisted in the bringing in of several hundred members of Al Quieda in the last several years.

Now on to the bad news. It is now believed that the following cartels are trying to form some sort of truce so as to consolidate their forces into one large military type force. 1, Las Zetas, 2, Sinaloa Cartel, 3, Tijuana Cartel, 4, Juarez Cartel. and 5, Beltran Leyva Organization. These 5 cartels joining forces is a disaster for the Mexican Government. They are having a serious problem handling the cartels separately, it will be a nightmare if they are able to join forces. These cartels are now in over thirty states here in the United States had have been connected in assassinations of drug dealers who have not paid the cartels. Our border patrol has given the government an outline in which it states that this is the most important threat that our country faces. As usual, the government is turning a blind eye to the report. I don't know if it due to incompetence or if it is because they have some sort of agreement with Mexico concerning the Border. Whichever it is, is borders on treason that our government is allowing our citizens to face this kind of threat when it is the governments number one responsibility to protect our citizens. All these stimulus packages and spending bills are not their primary responsibility, it is defense of our country, infrastructure and rule of law, that's it. It is dropping the ball on their main responsibility. Please contact your representatives and let them know that this is totally unacceptable and we want our borders secured. Do not let people intimidate you by calling you a racist, or a bigget or a hate monger or anti Mexican or whatever. Stand up against those who will use this type of language to silence you. Stand up for your country before it is no longer yours.

Now for the last thing, the number one city for kidnappings is Mexico City. Do you know what the number two is? It is Phoenix, AZ. Not somewhere in Columbia or even in Central or South America, but Phoenix. They had 359 reported kidnappings in 2008 and it is estimated that there were two to three as many that were not reported either because of them being illegals or associated with the cartels or drug dealers. The point is, that the Cartels are responsible for these kidnappings. It is the next profit center for them. They kidnap someone and then ransom them back to their families. If the families cannot pay, the person is never heard from again. The Phoenix police are saying it is mostly the above mentioned people who are mostly being kidnapped, but believe me, when it comes to money, how long do you think it will be before they start kidnapping children from schools or wives from shopping centers. my guess is not long. These are just some things that you need to be aware of when it comes to our border. Continue to fight the good fight. Earl

Stem Cell Research reversal/stimulus vote/Blacklist

First up, I want to address the reversal of the bill signed by President Bush. If you are unaware of what I am talking about, I am talking about the bill that President Bush signed which prevented the U.S. Government from funding Stem Cell Research and in particular, eliminated the ability of researchers from using frozen or newly fertilized Embryos. This week, Obama reversed that bill and is now allowing government funded research on these Embryos. In addition, this reversal also allows for the experimenting with cloning. Something even some of the most starch supporters of Abortion have come out against. Just thought it would be something you might like to know.

2nd, The stimulus bill that Obama just signed. I thought that when Obama was on the campaign trail he said that this would be the most honest, the most transparent and the most Bi-partisan administration in recent history. So much for those promises. This bill that he just signed, was formed without any input from the Republican party, not one member of the Republicans in either the House of Representatives or the Senate was allowed to have any input into it. It was wholly written and submitted by Nancy Palozi and the other Democrats in those two branches. Continuing on with this subject, this bill went to vote without a single person in either party even reading it. The final draft was finished around midnight and was put to a vote on noon the next day. This stimulus bill was 1011 pages in length. Both parties voted on this without having the slightest idea what they were even signing. Should be pretty scary to you, having people in office who will vote on things that directly impact your pocket without even looking at what it is they are signing. Now, this very day, it was reported that the congress and the President are looking at another stimulus package. We cannot afford to continue to spend this kind of money. When will the people wake up and stand together against this congress and president. When will people have had enough of the government giveaways. Remember, Socialism is only one step away from Communism.

Third, Obama came out earlier this week and made the statement that if you listen to Rush Limbaugh, you have no place in his administration. Not only that, but within this same week made the comment that he is willing to talk to the moderate members of the Taliban. So unless I am missing something, he would rather talk to terrorist than to conservatives. Again, this should cause you as an American great concern. That the President of the United States is openly blacklisting a segment of our population because of their political standings. Can anyone remember the McCarthy Hearings or the Woodrow Wilson doctrine? And lastly, almost for the entire week the media has been hounding Rush Limbaugh for his comments that he hopes that Obama fails. He went on to say that what he means by that is everything Obama is doing is leading our country straight to Socialism and he for one hopes Obama fails. The media went into a feeding frenzy over this statement and would not let it go until today. Now, lets back up to 2006. In a Fox Dynamic Poll, when asked about President Bush, 51% of Democrats stated that they wanted the President to fail, not his policies, but the man. I for one think this is much more reprehensible that what Rush said, but it was not even a blip on the main street media's radar at that time. Not only that, is was openly taunted by the democrats at the time.

U.S.S Cole

This is an update to what is happening in Washington and the Obama Administration.

Late last week, Obama told the judge hearing the case of the man who planned the bombing of the USS Cole to postpone the hearing for 4 more months. The judge denied Obama's order stating that Obama had no jurisdiction in the case and had no authority to order the hearing postponed, furthermore, he stated there was no just cause for the postponement and that the trial would proceed as planned. So, what did Obama do? Thursday afternoon, Obama dropped the charges against the defendant. What he actually did was to drop the charges without prejudice. What this means is the charges can be refiled and the person can go on to be tried at a later date. (Although, with all the things going on in the world, does anyone believe this won't get lost in the fray?)

Does this scare the hell out of anyone but me. The President of the United States purposely sidestepped the rule of law and the separation of powers because the judge had the balls to follow the law. I guess this is what all of the people who voted for Obama wanted when they voted for change. This should scare you. When the President of the United States can circumvent the law, what else is he willing to do when he does not get his way? He stated that he still wants this person tried, but in a civilian court and not by a military tribunal. I thought the Military Tribunal was formed for exactly this purpose.

Please pass this along, everyone, Democrat and Republican, Independent and Libertarian needs to know in what direction this new president is taking us.

Furthermore, the past 4 nominations for cabinet members have had serious tax problems. I.E. They didn't pay them, and still Obama refused to withdrawal his nominations. Also, he has resulted to fear tactics in order to try and push through the stimulus (oops, I'm sorry, the spending) package. Making the comment that if we don't pass the package immediately, The United States may never recover. Who does he think he is talking to? The American people can do anything if the government gets out of their way. There is nothing the Country cannot do if left to the people, but when the government gets involved, it only gets worse. I guess this is the type of change we can expect. Get prepared, tough times are coming. Earl

Founding Father's quotes/ economy

I am starting out this email with a couple of quotes from our founding fathers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do and recognize how far we have drifted from them.

1, I am for doing what is good to the poor, but I different in opinion in the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. ( BEN FRANKLIN)

2, Government is not reason, not elegance, government is brute force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master. (GEORGE WASHINGTON)

3, When people find a way to vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic. (BEN FRANKLIN)

4, The Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those willing to work and give it to those who will not. (THOMAS JEFFERSON).

Here is something that I am sure most if not all of you have not heard before but yet impacted everyone's lives. Around September 15th this comes from a Congressman from Pennsylvania during a interview on cspan. It is titled " the day the economy almost died". On this date there was a meltdown of the money market funds. This is what started the the current financial crises that we are facing. Around 11:00 am, the federal reserve noticed a tremendous draw down of the money market accounts to the tune of 550 BILLION DOLLARS in the span of 1 to 2 hours. The treasury opened up the window and pumped in 105 BILLION Dollars into the system but quickly realized they could not stop it. It is considered in the halls of the government the electronic version of a run on the banks. They decided to close down the money market accounts for the day, and announced a guarantee of 250 thousand dollars per account so there would not be any further panic. If they had not done that, and would have allowed it to continue, their estimation was that by 2:00 pm, 550 TRILLION DOLLARS would have been drawn out of the United States and would have collapsed the entire economy of the United States. Furthermore, with 24 Hours, the world economy would have collapsed. This was done purposefully by someone! We still do not know who did this. All we know is that with the span of about an hour, 550 Billion dollars left the United States. Changing subjects now, It looks like the stimulus ( spending ) package is going to pass the Senate. It has been reduced from 925 Billion Dollars to 890 Billion Dollars. I do not think there are enough people who are awake to call Washington and make their voices heard and so the spending package is going to pass and the debt it will place on our citizens will be passed not only to our children but our grandchildren as well. It has taken us 200+ years to accumulate the amount of deficit we are producing since September. To give you an idea of how much a Trillion Dollars is, If you take thousand dollar bills and stack them on top of each other, you will have a stack over 68 miles high. To put it another way, The debt we are putting on our children is equivalent to having spent 4 million dollars a day every since the birth of our nation, we would still have an additional 50 years of spending before we would match it. Think about the immenseness of these numbers. We will never dig ourselves out of this.

Additionally, there is a part in this bill that initiates the integration of Universal Health Care. What does this mean? The government will have all medical records from every doctor in the United States centrally located at an office within the government and whenever your doctor decides you need a specific test done, he or she must first consult this government advisor who will not be part of any medical establishment, but rather another Washington Bureaucrat. The advisor will have to say weather or not you can have that test because the government is paying for it. Furthermore, if you decide to appeal the decision of the advisor, it can and will take up to 18 months for them to reach a decision concerning your care.

This is not a conspiracy, this is in the spending bill that the Senate just passed. There are many, many more items in this bill that deserve mentioning but I am just alerting you to one of them. It is up to you to do your own homework and decide if socialized medicine is really what you want. Furthermore, it is up to you to decide if you want your country to be socialist or not. It is already there, but it can be turned around if enough people wake up and find their voices. You inherited a free country, it is your responsibility to ensure your children have the same. Do your part, call your legislature and spread this information to all your friends and acquaintances. Earl;
