A RIFLE IN THE HANDS OF FREEMEN

Some of my workmates and I had a discussion yesterday about the leftists in Philadelphia and their actions and statements on their constituents personal gun rights, moved me to come home and, again, assure myself why the 2ndA even exists, and why it is very important for Americans to understand their history. Our commenting on "assault rifles" really peaked my interest and the question of why one would ever "need" such a thing.

Some history:

"The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War. They were fought on April 19, 1775, in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (present-day Arlington), and Cambridge, near Boston. The battles marked the outbreak of open armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in the mainland of British North America.

About 700 British Army regulars, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, were ordered to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord. Dr. Joseph Warren alerted the colonists of this. The Patriot colonists had received intelligence weeks before the expedition which warned of an impending British search, and had moved much, but not all, of the supplies to safety. They had also received details about British plans on the night before the battle, and information was rapidly supplied to the militia." -->

Notice the reason why the Brits were there,"were ordered to capture and destroy military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord". They were there to take rifles that were both of military value and not, they were there to take ammunition, and they were there to take anything of military value that could be used by the "militia"(read:anyone able to pick up a firearm and defend themselves from the tyrannical forces of a tyrannical King)in order to rend the colonists defenseless.

In Philadelphia, is this not what the City gov wants to do to its people? Gather up any weapons they deem unnecessary for the people to have? Would not a rapid fire easy handling carbine of medium power fit the need of those(the militia)needing a weapon in their own defense from tyrannical forces? Do not the police forces of Philadelphia have such weapons in their arsenals? Sure. And why? Self preservation in case they are confronted by armed criminals, correct? So, why is the life of someone in possession of a badge more valuable than my own? Or yours? Or our families? Unless you have your own bodyguard(s), as those in gov who try to force restrictive, illegal gun laws on their citizens do, I would suggest armament of this type fits the bill. It did in the 1700's, it does now. The weapons of that day were a reflection of what the military of England carried into Lexington, the AR15 or SKS of the private citizen today reflects what a tyrannical force would carry into any American hometown.

Also, the state constitution of Pennsylvania and the Constitution of the United States both state that the people of both great entities will never have there firearm rights infringed upon. Lets not forget that.

For those who would say that we have nothing to worry about from our own gov, I would say we only have to look back at the roving heavily armed police and other security apparatus during the aftermath of Katrina gathering up firearms from the public to understand what the 2ndA means to the survival of freedom.

TIME FOR UNIFICATION

Obama is at best a Marxist with an influential wife who is hypersensitive about her race and the perceived injustices she believes it has thrust upon her(eventhough they are both millionaires, fully taking advantage of the only country and system which could possibly get them to this position) . Putting those two in the White House conjures up a scenario that causes icy shivers. Furthermore, the cult that has grown around them will become increasingly radical as each day passes. If there was ever a time for unity, determination and political aggressiveness among conservatives, it is now...........................

(Pictured above is a flag in which was hanging in one of BO's offices in Houston).

"GOOGLE" Obama red diaper baby.

While Senator Barack Obama has been touting himself as the candidate for change, one thing he has conveniently not been advertising is his close relationship while growing up with Frank Marshall Davis, a known communist writer and member of the Communist Party USA. In his book, Dreams from My Father, Obama tells of “a poet named Frank” who cautioned the young future senator before he left for college against forgetting his “people” and against “believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that [stuff].” This is the same Frank who, according to Professor Gerald Horne, a contributing editor of Political Affairs, the Communist Party journal, “befriended” the Obama family after moving to Hawaii from Kansas.

Obama followed the ideologies of his mentor, openly attending socialist conferences and brushing elbows with the Democratic Socialists of America. While he vehemently denies being a “hard-core academic Marxist,” his socialist-inspired philosophies often belie that claim.

In January, the communist newspaper People’s Weekly World published a letter from a supporter celebrating Obama’s Iowa caucuses victory as “more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle.” The letter goes on to say, “Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary ‘mole,’ not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through.”

There is an inherent contradiction in seeking to become the next leader of the free world while clinging to Marxist philosophy. Common sense dictates that one who would bear the standard of liberty should embrace its philosophies. Unfortunately, common sense has become rather uncommon in today’s political arena. Had it not, perhaps more scrutiny would be directed toward a certain senator from Illinois who grasps Marxist ideologies with one hand and seeks to lead the United States of America with the other.

TEXAS LAW UNDER SIEGE

Search continues for missing Juarez police officers

By Louie Gilot / El Paso Times

Article Launched: 02/18/2008 05:03:46 PM MST

The bloody uniform of one of two missing Juárez city police officers was found Sunday, intensifying the investigation of their disappearance, Juárez state police said.

Officer Juan Hernández Sánchez, a 12-year veteran of the force, was last seen Feb. 11, according to his colleagues and his family. His car was still parked at the police station.

Sunday, a homeless man found a bag at Venezuela and Ignacio Zaragoza streets, containing what appeared to be the belongings of Officer Hernández. There were uniform pants and a uniform jacket embroidered "J. Hernández," and an undershirt with what appeared to be a blood stain.

There was also some clear and gray adhesive tape, police said. The items were taken to the state's forensic lab for testing.

"It's very strange. We don't know if he was leaving work, if he changed. Now that we find this bag we gave it to state investigators," said Guillermo Prieto Quintana, municipal police chief in Juárez.

Another officer, Jesús Enríquez Solís Luévano, also vanished, although the circumstances of his disappearance were not clear Monday. That case is also in the hand of state investigators, city police officials said.

Police officials of all ranks have been recent victims of organized crime hits in Juárez. With the latest murder, the fatal stabbing of an elderly shop keeper during a robbery Sunday night, there have been at least 63 homicides in Juárez since Jan. 1. There has been only one homicide in El Paso in the same period.

ANOTHER ASSAULT ON LAW ENFORCEMENT

Feb. 23, 2008, 12:20AM
Visa status unclear for driver who struck, killed deputy
Driver in crash may have been in the U.S. illegally

By JENNIFER LEAHY, KEVIN MORAN and JAMES PINKERTON


U.S. Immigration officials could not determine Friday whether the driver of the truck that killed a Harris County Sheriff's deputy had a valid visa that would have allowed the Mexican national to live or work in the country.

Jose Jesus Vieyra, 56, is charged with criminally negligent homicide in a collision that killed Deputy Craig Miller Thursday night on a Katy Freeway access road.

Although ICE officials originally identified Vieyra as an illegal immigrant, the agency said late Friday that it could not confirm if his visa — issued at a border checkpoint — is still valid.

It is also unclear when or exactly where it was issued. Vieyra's case illustrates the federal government's difficulty tracking foreign visitors.

Vieyra is being held in the Harris County Jail in lieu of $35,000 bail, said Capt. John Martin, spokesman for the Sheriff's Department.

Miller, a 20-year veteran with the department, was working undercover when the fatal crash occurred about 7:20 p.m. Thursday, Martin said.

Family, friends and fellow officers mourned Miller's sudden death and remembered him Friday as a funny man and devoted father. Miller, 43, is survived by a wife, Michelle, and two young children.

"If he wasn't a police officer, he would have been a great comedian on Saturday Night Live," said Brenham resident Ross Martella, a friend of Miller's since they attended Stratford High School in the early 1980s. "He was a nice person."

Martella, who works in the oilfield services business, said Miller worked his way up through the ranks, starting as a jailer.

"And if someone called the law on you, you'd have been lucky if Craig was the officer involved," he said. "He was fair and he had common sense and he would listen to both sides."

No sign of drinking or drugs

Authorities said Miller was traveling east on the access road along Interstate 10 West near Mason Road when Vieyra pulled out of a driveway at the Don McGill Toyota dealership.

Vieyra drove across three lanes into the path of the sport utility vehicle Miller was driving, Martin said. The SUV ran into the truck, became airborne and landed on a raised concrete embankment separating the feeder road from the freeway, Martin said.

Firefighters had to cut through the wreckage to get the deputy out. He died before authorities could rush him to the hospital.

"The basis of the charge is that (Vieyra) failed to yield the right-of-way," Martin said.

He said there was no indication that Vieyra was drunk or under the influence of drugs.

Vieyra had a valid driver's license at the time of the crash, Martin said.

It's unclear, however, who owns the truck he was driving Thursday night.

Employees at the McGill Toyota dealership said Vieyra did not work for the company. Dozens of vendors drop off and pick up merchandise and supplies daily at the dealership, the workers said.

Immigration detainer filed

As the investigation continues, officials are working to determine Vieyra's immigration status.

Late Friday, ICE officials said they learned that Vieyra, a Mexican citizen, had entered the country on a visitor's visa.

"Initially I was told he was an 'entry without inspection,' but in the last 15 minutes I've been told he does have a visa with multiple entries," John Gaudioso, deputy special agent in charge of the Houston ICE office, said Friday afternoon. "But we have not seen his passport, or the visa. So it's still under inquiry."

Gaudioso added that an immigration detainer has been filed against Vieyra allowing for his possible deportation.

"Depending on what happens with the county's investigation and prosecution, he could be subject to removal if he is convicted of a crime, and if the crime is considered an aggravated felony," Gaudioso said.

Driver's license clean

Deputy David Crain, spokesman for the Sheriff's Department, said Vieyra's Texas driver's license expires on his birthday in 2014. Crain said the license does not have any restrictions, and there were no traffic violations on his record. Vieyra apparently has no criminal record in Harris County.

There was no response at the home where the Sheriff's Department said Vieyra resides in northwest Harris County.

In Austin, Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange said a foreign citizen in the state legally can obtain a driver's license.

The DPS Web site listed more than 25 immigration documents that could be used to obtain a driver's license, including a B1 or B2 visitor's visa, also known as a border crossing card.

To obtain a border crossing card, applicants must submit biometric information including fingerprints and photos, and pass a State Department background check followed by a personal interview.

Late Friday a Harris County Sheriff's deputy sat in a parked squad car outside the Miller home on a quiet cul de sac of brick homes in Katy. He said the family did not want to speak to the media.

Miller, who joined the department in August 1987, was assigned to the Investigative Support Unit in April 2006, Martin said.

"I can't even imagine what the family must be going through," Martin said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them."

It was the Sheriff's Department's first death in the line of duty since 2002.

Visitation for Miller will be from 4-9 p.m. Sunday, at Memorial Oaks Funeral Home, 13001 Katy Freeway.

The funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday at Second Baptist Church's West Campus, 19449 Katy Freeway.

100 Club taking donations

The 100 Club is accepting donations to its "Survivor's Fund" on behalf of the deputy's family. The Houston-based organization's fund supports the relatives of officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty.

Contributions can be made through the organization's Web site at www.the100club.org, or mailed to 100 Club Survivor's Fund, 1233 West Loop South Suite 1250, Houston, TX 77027-9107.

MODERATES POSING AS CONSERVATIVES

Recently, I have been posting on a forum who's slant is life, politics and Christian values and all of the surrounding ideas, thoughts and flotsam which surround a forum which tries to appease the political and religious.

Just recently the idea of the personal ownership of small arms and how it applies to the Second Amendment came up and revealed some interesting biases. Especially coming from those who call themselves Conservative. I have re-printed the meat of our discussion below:

My words:

semi auto just refers to its action type. they can be single shot or high capacity(which means 11 rounds or more by Billy Clinton's estimation). since it is a God given right, and not a right that is bestowed by gov on the people, i do not think i need to show anything.

His:

Ah, but you are missing the point. While I do not claim that the RTBA does not exist and citizens should not have that right, I do question what possible good can it come to for civilians to have the right to semi-automatic assault rifle, a fully automatic uzi, or a grenade launcher for that matter. For what, hunting and personal protection? I think not. So while, I can agree that the RTBA exists, I cannot in good conscience agree that that right cannot or should not be abridged in today's modern society. The United States has a professional all volunteer military and no longer a civilian militia. Therefore, I highly question the need for civilians to have the right to own and use this class of weapons. Show me why you need that right.

(BTW, This is where my point about the strict constructionist interpretation of Constitution comes in. For a true strict constructionist would not interpret the second amendment to mean that citizens have the right to own an uzi unless they are members of a civilian militia that can be called up to protect the United States. Those days are gone. Those that stretch the interpretation of the second amendment are just doing what liberals do--derive meaning from which there is no meaning inferred in the Constitution or the minutes from the Constitutional Convention.)

My words:

whew. since replying to your reply on my posts would end up with a ten foot long extravaganza, i will take one of your re-replies and show you where you are wrong.

His words:

"Ah, but you are missing the point. While I do not claim that the RTBA does not exist and citizens should not have that right, I do question what possible good can it come to for civilians to have the right to semi-automatic assault rifle, a fully automatic uzi, or a grenade launcher for that matter. For what, hunting and personal protection? I think not. So while, I can agree that the RTBA exists, I cannot in good conscience agree that that right cannot or should not be abridged in today's modern society. The United States has a professional all volunteer military and no longer a civilian militia. Therefore, I highly question the need for civilians to have the right to own and use this class of weapons. Show me why you need that right." -------

My refute:

""Ah, but you are missing the point."- i believe you had no point expressed here. you threw out the term semi auto, which is just an action type. whether single shot or 5 or 10 or 30. i do not understand why you point out this type of weapon. oh well.

His words:

"While I do not claim that the RTBA does not exist and citizens should not have that right, I do question what possible good can it come to for civilians to have the right to semi-automatic assault rifle, a fully automatic uzi, or a grenade launcher for that matter." -------

My refute of his misleading comment:

OK. grenade launcher. we have to first get our classifications straight here. anything over 20mm is considered ordnance. think cannon. big time boomboom stuff. what we speak of with the 2ndA is in terms of small arms, way different than ordnance, so we can eliminate that part of your comment.

UZI. say oooohzzzeee, sounds ominous don't it? this is a sub machine gun, fully automatic. now in most states a person can own a fully automatic weapon. but they are very expensive, the attrition on the weapon is very high because of its cyclic rate, and you would have to be an armorer to keep it in operating order. plus, you must pay a high FED tax, jump through hoops, etc. it is very prohibitive to own a fully auto weapon.

assault rifle, a fully auto matic weapon. to be an assault rifle, it must have a selector for automatic, single and safe positions. see comment above for more.

so, after we blow the smoke and haze and mis-leading language away, what we have left is semi auto's. an action type that has been around for a century, in pistol form, shotgun form and pistol form.

this type is used for plinking, hunting, selfdefense, and long range target competition. nothing new or dangerous about it.

His words:

"I cannot in good conscience agree that that right cannot or should not be abridged in today's modern society. The United States has a professional all volunteer military and no longer a civilian militia. Therefore, I highly question the need for civilians to have the right to own and use this class of weapons. Show me why you need that right." -------

My words:

If it bothers your conscience, fine. i support you not owning a gun. in fact that might be best for all.
the military has nothing to do with the 2ndA other than to defend it along with the rest of the constitution. your personal safety starts with you, not the 9-1-1 operator. You want me to show you? Look at your copy of the Constitution under 2ndA, you will find it their. A right is a right, not a need. As you have the right not to own, i have the right to own. needs and rights are two different things.

Makeshift militias patrol neighborhoods

In the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans, dozens of neighbors banded together to protect their neighborhood.

"There's about 20 or 30 guys in addition to us. We know all of them and where they are," Gregg Harris said. "People armed themselves so quickly, rallying together. I think it's why [our] neighborhood survived."

Harris isn't joking about the armaments. A gun battle erupted one afternoon between armed neighbors and looters. Two of the thugs were shot.

Since then, no more looters have bothered the neighborhood. But the neighbors aren't letting their guard down. They all take their turn keeping watch.

This will, if you can open your mind out of the UN induced thought process in your mind, hopefully help to explain what the militia is to you. 32 million gun owners provide a great deterrent to all kinds of tyranny. the gov can not insure your safety. a 20 round mag out of a well practiced with rifle goes a long way in insuring that.

---------------------

He no longer wants to speak with me it seems, since his last post accuses me of being an extremist and partisan, unwilling to cede any point.

My only answer to him would be : Never ever ever ever compromise your values. To do so is only appeasement and leads to the degradation of societies values.


Now, if you will excuse me, I must prepare my gear for an extended outing at my local range.

Ignored and sacrificed.

http://www.immigrationwatchdog.com/?p=5535

Above is an article that all Americans need to know about. There is a YouTube video which needs to be watched by all those who have any love for this country and its values.

While Bush gives a speech in Abu Dhabi on the support and spreading of Democracy, these very values of a Democratic nation, his home nation, are under attack and erosion on our Southern border with no apparent sense of urgency.

Over the last year, 29 incursions by military or armed state officials from Mexico have been documented. More than 200 in the past ten years. These are only what has been seen, who knows what or how many have not been documented. The U.S. border guard, UAV's and National Guard units patrol borders in Iraq, but the numbers are pitifully low on our own border. There is more security at a Baseball game per square mile than on the Rio Grande.

I am afraid what it will take is a mass killing of citizens or the loss of a member of one of the political parties families for action to take place. Its a matter of time before something very evil happens. The Zetas, Mexican special forces trained by the US and now gone maverick, since there is more money in drugs and banditry, control the towns just across the river from the US.

A story on the recent Rio Bravo firefight:

The kind of terror we associate with Afghanistan, Iraq and Colombia can show up a lot closer to home. Take, for example, the recent "Tamaulipas Drug War" just south of the U.S. border in Mexico. In an era of "small war," what amounts to a major battle took place on January 7th, in Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Mexican Federal Police personnel spotted a van carrying three men, who were openly carrying automatic weapons. When the police attempted to stop the van, the men opened fire, abandoned their vehicle, and fled into a nearby house, which was apparently the headquarters of a drug gang. Heavy fire was soon coming from the building, which like most Mexican houses was of cement-cinder block-rebar construction, and thus essentially a bunker. The police called for reinforcements. As scores of Federal Police and some troops responded, the action grew into a major fire fight. The fight lasted a little over a half hour, as the security forces quickly gained the upper hand, helped by RPGs and, reportedly, machine gun fire, provided by the troops.

When the fighting ended, ten police officers and soldiers had been wounded, but three of the drug gang were dead and ten more, some of them wounded, were in custody. A considerable arsenal was confiscated, including 7 automatic weapons, 16 "sniper rifles," a dozen automatic pistols, and a grenade launcher, plus grenades and ammunition, as well as flack jackets and some radios. Much of the equipment appeared to have come from the U.S.

...

Given that it began when armed men were seen driving through the streets, and that it occurred in close proximity to what appears to have been a major drug operations center, it's possible that incident may have been a deliberate effort by "El Lazco" to provoke a shootout with the Federal Police, in an attempt to intimidate them, as he done with many of the local police forces in the area. Even this is not the case, the likelihood is that there will be more such battles, as the current Mexican government seems to be serious about dealing with the drug cartels

...

If the druggies intentionally provoked this fire fight it was a mistake. This is a real win for the federalis. What the insurgents need to take away from this battle is that Mexican authorities finally have enough fire power in the area to deal with them. the post goes on to point out Mexico's failure to enforce its own border when it comes to importing weapons.

http://prairiepundit.blogspot.com/2008/01/details-on-shootout-at-rio-bravo.html

This shows you that the lawlessness of the Border has gotten out of hand.When will the states take it into their own hands, since the Feds do not seem to care, and do what it takes to secure their own security. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that police have no duty to respond to 911 calls. It seems the greatest 911 call of all, the out cry of American citizens to stop this invasion, has also been ignored. The concept of self defense is not guaranteed by any governmental office, although the Constitution requires it, and has in fact now been made personal on a border wide scale, so we must be responsible for our own safety, whether in our home(our lodgings) or our home, this nation.

IS THERE REALLY ANY DIFFERENCE?

A Socialist is a Socialist. When looking at the platforms of each of these two left leaners, how much difference do we find?

Second Amendment - Obama:

Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions

Principles that Obama supports on gun issues:
• Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.
• Increase state restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms.
• Require manufacturers to provide child-safety locks with firearms.

Second Amendment - Hillary:

License and register all handgun sales, Tough gun control keeps guns out of wrong hands,Lock up guns; store ammo separately. -

Hillary keeps herself vague on his issue. Obama is more directly anti-Constitutional when it comes to guns.


Border Fence - Obama:

They are both basically the same. Obama voted NO in 2006 and YES in 2007. Hillary has had a less waffling opinion, although one has to really "suspend disbelief" to think she would want to have any sort of border fence, voting NO on the fence and being a one worlder and a Neo-Con.

Democrats on U.S. sovereignty:

Raleigh, NC. Immediately upon assuming the leadership in Congress, the Democrats went to work frantically attempting to make U.S. Foreign Policy subservient to the most corrupt organization in the world, the United Nations. Clearly violating the terms of the U.S. Constitution, which clearly state that the notion of national sovereignty automatically renders null and void any attempt to subvert the nation's policies to an outside 'policing agency,' the Democrats obviously place more trust in the thugs of the U.N., such as Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea, and France, than they do the American people and their elected officials. For them to succeed in this scheme would be one more sad and dangerous chapter to add to the already bulging record the Democrats have amassed which fully portrays to the public Jefferson's notion of 'elective despotism.'

Yes, they were elected. The people who elected them gave them power to enact legislation that is clearly antithetical to every Constitutional principle that has guided this nation for most of its history. Thus, according to Jefferson, they would be considered despots, tyrants whose actions are entirely illegitimate.

Republicans want their presidential candidate to promise that he will never try to bamboozle them with a similar so-called "comprehensive" immigration bill or a so-called "DREAM Act," which includes amnesty for the millions of illegal immigrants now in the United States.

Republicans want their candidate to tell us now exactly what he will do to prevent the entry of illegal drugs over the U.S.-Mexico border. They want a presidential candidate to say he will pardon border guards Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean who are unjustly imprisoned for intercepting a professional Mexican drug smuggler.

Republicans want their candidate to build the fence on the U.S.-Mexico border legislated by the Secure Fence Law. Republicans want their candidate to promise to enforce the law against employers hiring illegal immigrants.

Republicans want their candidate to explain how he will lift the tax burden that Americans suffer today in providing a net value of $20,000 a year to every illegal immigrant household.

Republicans want their candidate to stop the entry of Mexican trucks onto U.S. highways and roads. They want their candidate to deep-six the plan called "totalization," which would put illegal immigrants into the U.S. Social Security system.

Republicans want their presidential candidate to protect parents' rights in public schools by repudiating the offensive and impudent 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision ruling that parents' fundamental right to control the upbringing of their children "does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door."

Since the federal government gives about $60 billion a year to public schools, Republicans want their candidate to promise to sign school appropriation bills only if they contain language to protect parents' rights to protect their children against such things as mental health screening; forcing schoolchildren to be put on psychotropic drugs; courses that promote Islam or homosexuality; nosy questionnaires about sex, drugs and suicide; and giving birth control to sixth-grade girls without parents' knowledge or consent.

Smart Republicans want their presidential candidate to reach out to Reagan Democrats by rejecting trade deals that are unfair to American workers and allow foreign countries to discriminate against U.S. producers and products by subsidies and tax rebates. Republicans want to hear a presidential candidate's plan to get the United States out from under the hostility of the World Trade Organization, which has ruled against the United States in 40 out of 47 cases.

Americans want to hear whether or not their presidential candidate supports the "global economy," which forces Americans to compete against pitifully low wages, slave labor, and discriminatory practices imposed by foreign countries and foreign tribunals. Americans don't want to be patronized by being told that we must be more competitive with Chinese factory workers who are paid 30 cents an hour with no benefits.

Grass-roots Americans want their candidate for president to promise that the Security and Prosperity Partnership will not be a steppingstone to a North American Union modeled on the European Union. Republicans expect their candidate to announce that he will never allow the United States to be economically integrated with Mexico and Canada, and will never allow the free movement of labor across open borders.

Most Americans want national leadership so that our economy produces good jobs that enable men to buy a home and a car, support their families, live the American dream and confidently expect their children to have an even better life. We're listening to the candidates and waiting to hear them address these important issues.

HEY !!! ARE YOU LISTENING TO US ???
