UPDATE: March 03
Mike Hammond: HR 45 May be More Troubling Than the Average Anti-gun Bill Legislation may reflect Obama’s thinking.
* H.R. 45 would require a federal license for all handguns and semiautomatics, including those you currently possess; and
* It would require handgun and semi-auto owners to be thumbprinted at the police station and to sign a certificate that, effectively, the firearm will not be kept in a place where it would be available for the defense of the gun owner’s family.
Pretty scary, huh? But, while this despotic nuttiness makes you wonder why a congressman from the Murder Capital of the Midwest would think that it would help to make the residents of New Hampshire, Alaska, and Wyoming comply with his blood-soaked city’s anti-gun laws, there have been other bills which are just as unconstitutional.
You may be thinking, “I’m just a hunter with a deer rifle… surely, none of this is relevant to me”?
Combined with the Ammunition Accountability effort to outlaw ammunition in numerous states, this two-pronged attack would soon make gun ownership a thing of the past.
Barack Obama was fond of saying during the campaign that he supported the Second Amendment. And we read of gun buyers who are flocking -– while it is still legal -– to purchase firearms, but who concede that they believed Obama’s assurances and voted for him.
But we may soon see a more horrific, nastier side of Barack Obama… and a capacity to go after his political enemies. And we have to assume that he will view gun owners as just about the most important of those enemies. Read More
Gun Control Introduced in Congress
This nefarious bill seeks to strip us all of our Constitutional Rights to possess and bear firearms of any distinction. It requires, within the first two years, that all new guns be registered. The bill goes retroactive after two years. Meaning that two years after the passage of the bill, ALL FIREARMS in a citizen’s possession must be registered, not just those purchased after the bill passes, and this apparently applies to antique firearms as well.
Every five years the firearm owner must go through a complete renewal process for each weapon owned. Failure to comply carries stiff penalties including confiscation of the firearms and jail time (penalties as high as ten years imprisonment in some cases). The bill also authorizes government searches without warrant, the creation of a federal bureaucracy to monitor firearm possession, etc. Read More

Remember this post from February 2, 2009 ?
Rep. Alcee L. Hastings D-Fla., has introduced to the House of Representatives a new bill, H.R. 645, calling for the secretary of homeland security to establish no fewer than six national emergency centers for corralling civilians on military installations
More questions of what Obama is up to.
Defense Department Establishes Civilian Expeditionary Workforce for combat-support missions
The Defense Department is forming a civilian expeditionary workforce that will be trained and equipped to deploy overseas in support of military missions worldwide, according to department officials.
Remember Obama said he would start his own civilian military to patrol the homeland of America…this military he said would be as well funded as our regular military is and as well equip as our regular military. Imagine a civilian military with TANKS, military weapons patroling your area where you live. Why would Obama need such a military? Whats up with this? Oh I know we are getting mixed signs about this from Obama as always talks out both sides of mouth.
Now is the time to start contacting your congressmen and demanding that they support your rights to own guns. You can not wait to the last minute, act now cause Obama will take your guns! Sarah Palin is looking better for 2012!

Obama was saying today that you voted him in as president to spend your tax money, so is he correct in saying that? I really don’t know of anyone that would not like to bring home more of his wages instead of paying more taxes. Obama was out today campaigning as a Maxist for his socialist government programs!

Being president for such a short time and approval rating being at only 38% isn’t to good and could drop lower in coming days! Will Obama low rating beat President Bush lowest rating before his 4 years is up? It could!

Obama, who swept to the White House on a message of hope and inspiration, is struggling to contend with a different emotion among Americans — anger. Livid about their own vanished jobs and decimated retirement accounts, people across the country are being subjected to story after story about the excesses of the wealthy: the $18 billion paid out in Wall Street bonuses last year, the $35,000 chest of drawers for the Merrill Lynch chief executive’s office, the planned Wells Fargo retreat in Las Vegas. This week, they got a new target: an Obama Cabinet nominee who had earned millions and failed to pay all of his taxes.” Read More
I’m sure that the democrats didn’t want to wake-up to this sort of news today, but here you have it. Obama’s speeches and promises are starting to wear thin with the American people. There are people without jobs and nothing he is doing will help them get another job very soon…talking maybe a year or two down the road …How does he expect these people to feed their families and not lose everything they have in the main time?
I’ve always said that a person can read all the books they want and think they know it all, but when they get into the field doing the jobs they don’t always go by the directions of the book! Thats where experience comes in handy which Obama has done!

The scandal-plagued mayor of a major city long targeted by federal investigators for corruption refuses to disclose a list of projects that will be funded with economic stimulus money when Congress approves the plan in the next few weeks.
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says he has compiled a wish list of “shovel-ready projects” to spend the federal funds but, unlike hundreds of other mayors nationwide, he won’t reveal the details. Daley told the local newspaper that Chicago’s list is secret because once it’s made public, the “media is going to be ripping it apart.”
When a reporter asked why he’s not more transparent, the six-term Democrat mayor snapped back: “Read some of your newspapers.” Read More
I’m sure that Chicago will get a double share of the (Obama spending bill) money.

After checking all these spending programs out, do you see your name on getting any of this money? I don’t see where any of these programs will make jobs for the low and middle class workers, Dell Computer and Bill gates will make a pile of money. Then there are the Civilian Service Fed Workers that still have a job that will benefit from the spending bill. After the Fed politicians and State politicians get done filling their pockets there will be less money! How about it people thats lost your jobs, do you see where any of these programs will put you back to work so you can feed your family? How many of these items would you remove? And what would you add? What? No one talking now? Oh yes there will be more food stamps and welfare checks but there will be more people on welfare so your checks will be the same. The poor and middle class and their grandkids will be paying more taxes soon to pay all this money back that was yours to begin with. Obama the savior “yes we can”!
