The list — which includes Camp Pendleton in California, Fort Leavenworth in Kansas; the Marine Air Station in Miramar, California; and the U.S. Naval Consolidated Brig in South Carolina — has been circulated in a classified brief to members of Congress and was prepared by the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.
Camp Pendleton was determined to be the least expensive option and officials say its vast 125,000 acre size would allow for a new prison to be built in an isolated and secure area. Read More

From what I see here is that Obama trying to please the far left anti-war people and by doing so its going to cost alot more to house these terrorist. The prisoners will still be locked up so what is the real reason for closing Gitmo? When the country is hurting for money Barack is still spending like there is no tomorrow! Is this what you voted for? procession21

Obama selling his appearances to the people he serves. (elitist and Wrong)

Barack Obama‘s inaugural organizing committee has struck deals with three television networks to the tune of more than $5 million, giving the networks exclusive access to inaugural events. But the arrangement is prompting questions about the president-elect’s efforts to raise money by turning his inauguration into made-for-TV productions.

The TV contracts, however, have prompted questions about the committee’s efforts to raise funds by turning inaugural events into TV productions that benefit a single entertainment concern, rather than pooling the footage so that it is widely available to all.

“I’m extremely disturbed by it,” said Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, a Washington group that promotes media-ownership diversity. “The Lincoln Memorial has such significance, and to not make [the concert] available to the entire country just seems elitist.” Read More

‘Is this the future of free speech and political dissent under President Obama?’

The Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department has forbidden a pro-life gathering and chalk display during Inauguration Week – and now the group is fighting back with a lawsuit against the District of Columbia.

Now the Christian Defense Coalition is filing a lawsuit in U. S. District Court on Friday, accusing the police department of infringing on First Amendment free speech rights. The pro-life activists are seeking a temporary restraining order against police.

“Is this the future of free speech and political dissent under President Obama?” Mahoney asked in his statement. “The streets in front of the White House should be open to all views, opinions and thoughts. It should not be a place of censorship and intimidation. I hope this was not the kind of change President Obama was talking about.” Read More

Where is all the far left liberals that were complaining about losing freedoms under President Bush? When was protesting ever stopped, not the anti-war people or gays protest so why stop the pro-life gathering?   Americans its time to stand up and be counted, let your words be heard, speak out before its to late to turn back!  Call, write and or email your congressmen!
