Obama Signs 23 Executive Orders On Guns
ALERT: Obama signs executive orders to accomplish national gun control. Act Now and Fax Congress: Tell them to Refuse any and all forms of Gun Control - including Executive Orders!
Conservative American,
Yesterday, we warned that Obama was planning on signing nineteen executive orders today. It happened, several orders were signed this morning. The thing is, we didn't get nineteen orders as reports held - we got twenty-three!
And they aren't yet even available for review. They are no-where on the White House website, and a representative from the White House told Conservative Action Alerts today that they should be available "in a few days."
This is Obama's transparency.
Congress must act to counter every single one of these orders! They have the power to do it, and they must take action.
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
The White House's "rationale" for expansive executive action is simply because it is easier to accomplish - there is less "political difficulty" because Congress is bypassed altogether.
Among other things, the executive actions could give the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention power to conduct studies and national research on guns; they may also establish stricter federal and state gun databases (in other words, establish mandate a gun-registry).
Not surprisingly, gun-grabbing politicians pushed Obama hard to take as much action on gun-control as he can. Today they succeeded.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) told Vice President Biden "to do as much by executive order as possible." Further, the chairman of the House Democrats' Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA), said that an executive ban on magazine and the establishment of across-the-board background checks would be as efficient as an outright assault weapons ban - and, again, such would not require Congress.
Not only will the enforcement of the twenty-three freshly-signed presidential orders be expensive to carry-out - like most everything Obama is involved in - but they will deprive Americans of their Constitutional liberty to "keep and bear arms."
According to former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III, any executive action opposed to the Constitution is grounds for impeachment. Meese says, "It would not be legal. It would not be constitutional. And, indeed, if [Obama] tried to override the Second Amendment in any way, I believe it would be an impeachable offense."
Obama must not be left unchallenged on this: the right "to keep and bear arms" is a natural right codified in our Supreme Law. Neither Obama nor anyone in the federal government has any legitimate authority to destroy it!
Congress must reject any and all forms of federal gun-control as they are in direct opposition to the Second Amendment! Congress must fight the coming Assault Weapons Ban in the Senate, and they must fight all twenty-three of Obama's Executive Orders!
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
"The president is going to act... There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help [of] the attorney general and all the rest of the cabinet members as well as legislative action we believe is required." - Joe Biden
So the question is: can executive orders be stopped?
An executive order - which carries the full force of law - is made a fact literally at the stroke of the President's pen; it is done without debate and without the consent of Congress or the American people. (That is precisely why they are so dangerous when used.)
The executive order, though it exists by precedent, is an unconstitutional mechanism that makes a joke of our government and its so-called "separated powers." Congress is vested with the power to write laws, not the President.
Congress must reject any and all executive orders that would succeed in disarming law-abiding Americans.
The good news is: Congress does have power to fight executive orders, and we must demand they do just that seeing that Obama wants to accomplish arms control through by his own command.
There are three ways that Congress can act to oppose Obama's "power of the pen" - first, they can overturn any executive order by a 2/3 majority vote in both chambers (like reversing a veto); second, they can introduce legislation that would interfere with an order; and, third, they can refuse to appropriate funds for the execution of the order.
We must demand the U.S. Congress to - in addition to refusing any piece of federal gun-control legislation - flex their muscles and fight the Executive Branch now that Obama has increased gun-control by executive order.
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
Barack Obama told Meet the Press that he is committed to not let the opportunity for increased gun-control "drift away" after people begin to shift their attention away from December's Connecticut shooting, the event that gun-grabbing politicians have been using to justify their tyrannical ends. Obama said,
"The question then becomes whether we are actually shook up enough by what happened [in Sandy Hook] that it does not just become another one of these routine episodes where it gets a lot of attention for a couple of weeks and then it drifts away... It certainly won't feel like that to me. This is something that, you know, that was the worst day of my presidency. And it's not something that I want to see repeated."
He also committed to a one-year time-frame, saying, "I'd like to get it done in the first year. I will put forward a very specific proposal based on the recommendations that Joe Biden's task force is putting together as we speak. And so this is not something that I will be putting off."
Hoping to convince the American people to befriend disarmament, Obama claims that dismantling the Second Amendment will make schoolchildren safer. We know he truly doesn't believe such nonsense - otherwise he'd have all of his personal bodyguards disarmed! (Which we know he'll never do; in fact, on January 10th he signed a law that gives him and his wife secret service protection for life.)
On top of voicing his support for the Feinstein Ban (and other attempts to remove guns from the homes of law-abiding Americans), Barack Obama has a "hidden" gun-control agenda that he may accomplish through the ATF.
According to Conservative Action Alerts contributor Jim Kouri, the Obama Administration may "order the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to take the classification step. Some gun-grabbers view the designation of Street Sweeper shotguns as Title 2 firearms during the Clinton administration as precedent for such a move."
Obama will never disarm his protectors, yet he wants to disarm the American People from protecting themselves. What dangerous, evil, and unconstitutional hypocrisy!
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
Obama doesn't think the Feinstein ban goes far enough; the Democratic Senator's "Assault Weapons Ban" is only one piece of their overall disarmament agenda.
The Washington Post reports:
"The White House is weighing a far broader and more comprehensive approach to curbing the nation's gun violence than simply reinstating an expired ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition, according to multiple people involved in the administration's discussions." (emphasis ours)
As we mentioned above, President Obama appointed Vice President Joe Biden to lead a special, blue-ribbon group to investigate gun-related violence and propose "solutions."
So far, the committee is pushing for the following:
universal background checks for gun buyers,
a centralized gun registry/database that would track the movement and sales of all privately-held firearms nationwide,
more stringent "mental health" checks, and
strengthening gun-free school zones and related penalties.
Do these laws sound like they belong in a free society? Not in the least.
But what else should expect from such a committee? Biden's disarmament gang is made of, and takes opinions from, some of the most anti-Second Amendment individuals in the country: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, The Brady Campaign's Dan Gross, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
This is all to show that there are strong efforts to disarm the American people through "legal" - but unlawful - means. These efforts aren't "solutions" ... they are chains on a free people.
What's more, Biden's blue-ribbon "task force" is a typical act of Obama law-breaking itself because it violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act, a law that governs "any committee, board, commission, council, conference, panel, task force, or other similar group." The Biden group violates this law in at least two ways: first, it has not been made subject to public scrutiny and no reports have been filed regarding its proceedings; and, second, the Biden group was created the day after Sandy Hook, although the law requires any such group to file its existence 15 days in advance of their first meeting.
It is clear that neither Obama nor Biden seem to care about the law - they care more about debarring law-abiding Americans from the ownership of firearms.
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
In addition to the Obama Administration's anti-gun agenda, members of Congress are also poised to take away our rights: consider the Feinstein Weapons Ban.
California's Diane Feinstein - author of the 1994 Assault Weapons - has long been an enemy of gun-owners and the right to self-defense, an American principle. Senator Feinstein, keeping in line with Rahm Emanuel's rule of thumb to "never waste a crisis," almost immediately began calling for increased gun control after the terrible event in at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.
Feinstein expressly stated that she will introduce sweeping gun control legislation the first day the 113th Congress is assembled. She said,
"On the first day of the new Congress, I intend to introduce a bill stopping the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of assault weapons as well as large ammunition magazines, strips and drums that hold more than 10 rounds."
She also added that she has already been "gathering support" for such legislation in both the House and the Senate.
What this means is that a weapons ban could be a cold, hard fact this month! In fact, on January 22 the Senate will begin their new legislative session.
Remember, in 1994 it only took one day for Congress and President Clinton to "legally" remove guns from the hands and homes of law-abiding Americans!
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
Feinstein's resuscitation of her former assault weapons ban has wide support from Democrats. Also, just so you are aware, Feinstein didn't scratch this bill up in response to the Connecticut shooting; no, she has been working on it for over a year waiting for the opportune time to ram it through!
Senator Frank Lautenberg, as we can expect, is "optimistic" about a Feinstein-led Assault Weapons Ban, saying, "I think we can get something done." Schumer, like Feinstein, wants to see weapons banned, clip-sizes limited, and more paperwork required to purchase guns.
"The purpose of this bill is to get the weapons of war off the streets of our cities." - Senator Feinstein
Democrat Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York believes that the nation will support stronger gun-control, especially if Barack Obama "exploits" what happened in Sandy Hook. The New York Rep. said on MSNBC that "These incidents, these horrible, horrible incidents ... are happening more frequently, and they will continue to happen more and more frequently until someone with the bully pulpit - and that means the president - takes leadership and pushes Congress."
Obama wasted no time in voicing his strong, "active" support for national legislation curbing gun-ownership. It is likely, now that Obama is approaching his final term that he will more vehemently assert gun-control. White House spokesperson Jay Carney has already suggested that the president will support gun-control efforts - in addition to Feinstein's - including laws to eliminate what he referred to as the 'gun show loophole' relating to paperwork and high-capacity magazine sales. And we have Biden's most recent hint: the executive order.
We must make our voices heard and tell Congress to reject the coming Feinstein Weapons Ban, and any other piece of legislation (or executive order) that would destroy the Second Amendment!
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
The Fruit of Propaganda:
It is a sad fact that America today is divided over the right to self-defense.
Rather than call into question the environment in which the shooting took place - a gun-free zone, where self-defense is prohibited - so many mindlessly flock to liberal slogans like "less guns equals less violence."
A White House petition demanding "immediate" gun control was created and gathered over 80,000 signatures in less than a day, while the petition only needed 25,000 to be seriously considered. The petition now holds over 194,000 names.
More than this, some of the anti-gun rhetoric being asserted by some are violent - even outright threats. Facebook posts, blogs, and Twitter have been used to carry messages like "murder every NRA member" or "get every member of the NRA to stand in a circle, aim & shoot!" Some people have also called for the murder of the NRA's president, David Keene.
This is all to say the some of our fellow Americans would happily support more gun control - they already are organizing and, as we have seen, both active and vocal.
Folks like these are calling and writing their Senator asking for their neighbors to be disarmed through increased gun control. These individuals are pushing the Feinsteins, Bloombergs, and RINOs like Scott Brown, to support state and federal bans on assault weapons.
Now is the time for patriotic Americans to fight this liberal, anti-gun rhetoric and speak out! We must make sure that Senate and Representative Offices are getting twice or three times as many calls, letters, and faxes against gun control as they are for it.
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
What has happened to the Bill of Rights?
The Second Amendment is a right, and "laws" that oppose it are unlawful and dangerous. There is no other way to say it.
Our founders were able to declare independence from the King England only because they were armed with modern weaponry.
Our Constitution - the Supreme Law of the Land - included the Second Amendment provision to "keep and bear arms" to ensure that the new American government could not disarm the people.
The right to bear arms is an essential part of liberty and a free society. Yes, our forefathers knew the importance of an armed citizenry as a check against big government and tyranny. Further, they knew that individuals should always be free to protect themselves, their family, and their property. That's why they protected it in law.
Those who were armed were not considered offensive, violent, or malevolent in any way - in fact, early Americans considered defense to be a God-given right to secure households and keep evil at bay in society. Weapons were not held for aggression, but to resist aggression!
Right now there is a multitude of ideological aggressors wanting to destroy the Second Amendment by banning certain weapons, limiting access to ammunition, and increasing the bureaucratic "paperwork" required to purchase guns.
These aggressors are in the Congress and the Whitehouse ... and they must be stopped!
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!
The Second Amendment must never be Limited:
One of the arguments for the reinstatement of an Assault Weapons Ban is that it only restricts "some" weapons, namely those of a military-grade, while leaving other weapons unaffected. Michael Bloomberg and Diane Feinstein claims they only are attack so-called "weapons of war."
Here is the problem... the Second Amendment protects such weapons, while anti-gunners want to see them "off the streets of our cities."
You see, anti-gun politicians don't understand (or care about) the purpose of the Second Amendment. Thomas Mullen of the Washington Times comments:
"Having weapons of war on the streets is the whole point of the 2nd Amendment. The amendment wasn't drafted to ensure that Americans could hunt. It wasn't drafted so that Americans could protect themselves, although the natural right to defend one's life was never as compromised as it is in the modern gun control era.
They weren't out to confiscate hunting rifles, 'fer squirrels and sech,' either. They intended to confiscate a store of arms that would outfit the average colonist with weapons roughly equivalent to the average British infantryman.
That's why the 2nd Amendment was written, to ensure that the government's army would never have superior firepower to the people."
Yes, the Second Amendment protects all weapons, even so-called "weapons of war." Again, this is not controversial - it is simply what the founders gave us to preserve our free society.
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." - Second Amendment.
What has happened to America? Political Correctness - which is quite incorrect - is costing us our freedoms. Bad utopian ideas that suggest society can abolish violence, aggression, and death by simply removing guns is an argument even child wouldn't believe - yet so many go along with this liberal nonsense and are willing to toss their and their neighbors' rights away!
It's time to fight the liberal, anti-gun propaganda and demand Congress to defend, not destroy, our right to bear arms!
Take Action and DEMAND CONGRESS to OPPOSE any and all attempts to DISARM AMERICANS through federal gun-control! Congress must FIGHT any piece of legislation or executive order that would dismantle the Second Amendment! Blast Faxes Now!

1. ATTN Gun Owners: McConnell & Reid Cutting Deal on the Filibuster
The Senate Republican Leader and Senate Democratic Leader are cutting a deal on the filibuster.
You may think it is over and done with, but it is not.
Harry Reid, through Senate procedure, has kept the first day of business in the Senate going on. This allows the rules of the Senate to be changed with just a majority vote if he decides to claim the Senate’s business does not continue and constitutes itself as a new body every two years (it’s a Parliamentary thing). Meanwhile, behind the scenes Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid are cutting a deal to drastically curtail the filibuster. The left is fully on board and gearing up for this fight because they think they can get gun control through the Senate and other liberal initiatives.
Don’t relax and say, “Oh well, we have the House,” because we may have the House, but John Boehner is in charge of it. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

FARTING AT TIFFANY'S
A LADY WALKS INTO TIFFANY'S .. SHE LOOKS AROUND, SPOTS A BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND BRACELET AND WALKS OVER TO INSPECT IT...

VERY EMBARRASSED, SHE LOOKS AROUND NERVOUSLY TO SEE IF ANYONE NOTICED HER LITTLE WOOPS AND PRAYS THAT A SALESPERSON WAS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR...
AS SHE TURNS AROUND, HER WORST NIGHTMARE MATERIALIZES IN THE FORM OF A SALESMAN STANDING RIGHT BEHIND HER...
GOOD LOOKING AS WELL .. COOL AS A CUCUMBER, HE DISPLAYS ALL OF THE QUALITIES ONE WOULD EXPECT OF A PROFESSIONAL IN A STORE LIKE TIFFANY'S...
HE POLITELY GREETS THE LADY WITH, 'GOOD DAY, MADAM .. HOW MAY WE HELP YOU TODAY???
BLUSHING AND UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT STILL HOPING THAT THE SALESMAN SOMEHOW MISSED HER LITTLE 'INCIDENT', SHE ASKS, 'SIR, WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THIS LOVELY BRACELET ??'
HE ANSWERS, "MADAM .. IF YOU FARTED JUST LOOKING AT IT - YOU'RE GOING TO SHIT WHEN I TELL YOU THE PRICE

The Best Layoff Letter Ever
No wonder this guy is the boss, he is sharp!
You can't be any fairer than this guy...
Dear Employees:
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.
But, since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.
This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go. So, this is what I did.
I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.
I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change......, so I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic."
