If you haven't chosen AMAC over AARP yet, you may want to reconsider.
During the first Presidential debate, President Obama touted the support of AARP for ObamaCare several times. While AARP immediately responded by saying, "AARP is a nonpartisan organization and we do not endorse political candidates nor coordinate with any candidate or political party", recently released emails between the White House and AARP operatives seem to indicate that AARP threw their tremendous lobbying power behind the legislation despite the fact they were getting calls overwhelmingly against it.
In fact, on September 20, 2012, Kimberley A. Strassel of the Wall Street Journalwrote:
"Thanks to just-released emails from the House Energy and Commerce Committee, we now know that AARP worked through 2009-2010 as an extension of a Democratic White House, toiling daily to pass a health bill that slashes $716 billion from Medicare, strips seniors of choice, and sets the stage for rationing. We know that despite AARP's awareness that its seniors overwhelmingly opposed the bill, the 'nonpartisan organization' chose to serve the president's agenda.
The 71 pages of emails show an AARP management taking orders from the White House, scripting the president's talking points, working to keep its board 'in line' and pledging a fealty to 'the cause.' Seniors deserve to know all this, as AARP seeks to present itself as neutral in this presidential election."
AARP refuses to take a formal position on the Independent Payment Advisory Board ("rationing board") portion of ObamaCare and even defends some aspects of the board. Given the negative impact that the IPAB will have on seniors, this is unbelievable (but sadly, not unexpected).
AMAC is against the harsh provisions in ObamaCare that gives the Federal government complete control of our healthcare. It destroys the best healthcare system in the world, takes 716 billion dollars out of Medicare, and has the power to restrict and ration our medical treatment.
AMAC is fighting to keep our right to receive treatment from our doctors without the interference of Federal bureaucrats.
Big government experiments like the "stimulus" and ObamaCare have only increased the uncertainty and instability, and are core reasons for the persistently high unemployment rate and why the household incomes of Mature Americans have declined so much.
AMAC, The Association of Mature American Citizens, believes we can do much better. As a steadily growing alternative to groups like AARP, and with an expanding influence in the Nation's capital, we aim to champion the interests of Mature Americans, seniors, and prospective retirees. We believe in religious freedom, free enterprise, and support common sense solutions to our Nation's largest challenges.
Bottom line - Our livelihoods, our families' future prosperity and our standards of living should not be threatened by bad policies emanating from Washington, DC.

AMAC Fights for You!
AMAC, the leading Conservative Alternative to AARP
Dan Weber, President and Founder of AMAC, delivers remarks with the House GOP Doctors Caucus the day the Supreme Court decided to uphold ObamaCare. Standing with Dan are (from left to right) Representatives, Paul Broun (GA-10th), John Fleming (LA-4th), Phil Gingrey GA-11th), Joe Heck (NV-3rd), Ann Marie Buerkle (NY-25th), and Tim Murphy (PA-18th).
As AMAC continues to grow and build a presence in DC, we're able to stand up to the tremendous lobbying power of AARP on behalf of concerned conservative Americans like you.
A senator told us, "You have got to grow AMAC!" When we asked him why, he said, "You don't understand, when AARP comes to our committees they say they represent older Americans. We know at times they really don't, but because of their numbers we have got to listen to them. When AMAC has over one million and a half members we can tell them they are not the only one we will listen to."
AMAC can do something AARP will not do - we'll fight against the horror of big government "solutions" like Obamacare with common sense solutions. But now, more than ever, AMAC needs your help!
If you want to belong to an organization that takes its marching orders from its members and speaks out for conservative values, JOIN AMAC!
For a limited time, a 5-year membership is available for less than $1 a month, and you'll have access to exclusive AMAC benefits - such as the members-only auto and home insurance program, access to licensed Medicare counselors, the AMAC Roadside Assistance Program, travel, and much more!

UNDERSTANDING THE ATTACKS ON GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TED CRUZ

UNDERSTANDING THE ATTACKS ON GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TED CRUZ

Posted: 23 Mar 2015 03:36 PM PDT

Now that Texas Senator Ted Cruz has formally announced his candidacy for the GOP’s nomination for the Presidency of the United States, look to the progressive socialist democrats and their cadre of communist supporters to begin the slow, steady destruction of Cruz as a viable candidate.

Their primary weapon comes from the socialists and communists who use Saul Alinsky’s tactics in their community and union organizing to marginalize and negate legitimate candidates. And, since democrat front-runner Hillary Clinton worshiped Saul Alinsky – the man and the method – this is what is going on …

rr

Perhaps the best Cruz Tweet from the leftists yet …

twz

But the problem with Alinsky is that everybody can play the game …

hbr2

Bottom line …

Many a truth is spoken in jest. Unfortunately, the next President of the United States must be everything that President Barack Obama is not.

  • They must understand their oath of office and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States as well as faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States.
  • They must keep America and Americans safe and secure.
  • They must assist in stimulating the economy through the private sector.
  • They cannot view everything through the prism of socialist/communist and radical racial ideology.
  • They must be a uniter, not a divider.
  • They must reduce cronyism and corruption in the government.
  • They must not pander to special interests or the socialist/communist unions.
  • They must govern for ALL people.

It appears that the progressive socialist democrats and their RINO (Republican In Name Only) cohorts have forfeited the right to govern this nation based on their past performance; notably the corruption of the Clintons and the cronyism of the Bushes. As far as I am concerned the damage done to our nation by President Barack Obama is off the charts and he is likely to be judged by historians as the worst President in the history of the nation.

We cannot afford to make the same mistake twice. I am not telling you how to vote, but research the candidates and vote for yourself and your family – and not be a team player when that team has cheated and thrown the game.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT'S ROBBING HOOD: MUSLIM REPRESENTATIVE WANTS TO ROB THE RICH TO PAY THE POOR

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT'S ROBBING HOOD: MUSLIM REPRESENTATIVE WANTS TO ROB THE RICH TO PAY THE POOR

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 06:52 PM PDT

ke

Meet Congressman Keith Ellison, the first Muslim to be elected to Congress and a progressive socialist democrat that represents a clear and present danger to our nation with his scheme to rob the rich, pay the poor, and redistribute wealth in the best manner of socialists and communists.

Here is an e-mail I just received …

Robin Hood Tax Bill, The Inclusive Prosperity Act, Reintroduced

Backed by 172 organizations, millions of members and you. Help spread the word!

Last week, Congressman Keith Ellison reintroduced the “Robin Hood Tax bill,” The Inclusive Prosperity Act, H.R. 1464. As a supporter of the Robin Hood Tax, you already know economic justice for all Americans starts with this bill. By establishing a small tax on certain Wall Street transactions, it would raise more than $300 billion a year for American families and communities, and curb casino-style high frequency trading.  

We need your help to keep the buzz going! 172 organizations, totaling millions of members, have already voiced their support for the Inclusive Prosperity Act. Now, we need you to add your network, your voice, to the buzz. Imagine what our communities would have with more than $300 billion annually in new revenue.  Then, let America know what’s possible.  

Here’s how you can get involved:

It’s critical to let Congress know you urge support for H.R. 1464. Click here to easily find your representative’s number

Take part in our upcoming National Day of Action, April 8

On April 8, Robin Hood tax supporters will hold vigils at congressional offices across the country, demanding Congress pass H.R. 1464—commemorating 47 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered while conducting a national campaign against economic inequality. 

  • Find an action near you here:<redacted link>  
  • Please invite your friends on Facebook: <reacted link>
Read on—and share the details—as you spread the word

Here’s some helpful background reading on the Inclusive Prosperity Act. (These links are also good for social media sharing.) 

  • The Robin Hood tax would emancipate American Workers From Debt Bondage
  • Rep. Ellison reintroduces Wall Street speculation bill (National Nurses United)
  • Robin Hood tax could generate billions to fight climate change (Friends of the Earth)
  • Minnesota congressman makes another try (Teamsters)
  • Robin Hood to the rescue! (APWU)

The text of H.R.1464 has not yet been received from GPO

As this blog post is written, the actual language and text of the bill is not available … but it appears to be another wealth redistribution scheme that taxes everyone who has a savings account, pension, IRA, 401-K or any other account that deals with Wall Street transactions. All for the specious purposes of increasing entitlements to the poor as an inducement to vote for the progressive socialist democrats and fund their various social programs that are quickly running out of money due to waste, fraud, abuse, and the disincentives they create among those they purport to assist.

Bottom line …

It is significant that while Ellison was sworn into office as part of the normal and customary ceremony without the use of any religious texts, Ellison chose to perform a second and symbolic Oath of Office ceremony using a Qur'an instead of a Bible, which is somewhat problematical because the Qur’an denies the very freedoms and liberties that Ellison swore an oath to preserve, protect and defend.

Government, be it at the local, state, or federal levels has never effectively nor efficiently managed programs that did not disintegrate under incompetence, waste, fraud, and abuse. Government accounting systems – in the land where we can send a man to a precise set of coordinates on the moon – cannot seem to build a functional accounting system that is not defective by design.

Before the progressive socialist democrats get more tax money from a shrinking pool of taxpayers, let them start cutting back on unnecessary spending and curbing the waste, fraud, and abuse of programs that abounds today.

As you vote – remember, these are the progressive socialist democrats who have mismanaged our safety, security, and economy – and now they want to retain their political power, perks, privileges, and ill-gotten profits. Time for a change – vote conservative.

A clear and present danger … Obama Invites Iranian Nuclear EMP Attack On U.S.

A clear and present danger …

Obama Invites Iranian Nuclear EMP Attack On U.S.

A translated military handbook showing Tehran's support for a nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack on the U.S., and the presence of Iranian warships off our coast, show that Israel isn't the mullahs' sole target. 

Last month in a speech to his air force commanders, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, boasted of Tehran's achievement in enriching uranium to the 20% level. 

A BBC transcript of his speech showed that twice the assembled air force commanders chanted, "Death to America." Is there something about this that President Obama does not understand?

<Read more: Investor's Business Daily>  

Bottom line …

I have always wondered about the Jews that chose to be part of the Obama White House and beholden to the Obama Administration. Especially Obama’s former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel whose father is widely regarded as a Jewish freedom fighter before the official creation of the State of Israel. Considering the matter carefully, I believe that those who chose to serve in Obama’s Administration or who currently serve in Obama’s Administration are more aligned and faithful to the progressive socialist democrat party than they are to Obama per se. And, that they found the power, privileges, and perks attractive as they go along to get along; full well-knowing that Obama’s time will pass and their own futures will be relatively secure.

As for Obama being anti-Semitic, there is little or no doubt in my mind that those who espouse Black Liberation Theology looks the the Jews as being every bit oppressive as WASPs (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.) You cannot be raised in proximity to socialists, communists, anarchists, and Jew-hating anti-Semites without being, at least subconsciously, inculcated by anti-Semitism. Not with mentors like Reverend Wright, Father Phelger, and friends like Louis Farrakhan.

My only concern is that Congress is able to stop President Obama and John Kerry (another suspected anti-Semitic Francophile) from allowing Iran to go nuclear to the detriment of Israel and the free world.

In case there is someone who questions where I stand, it is with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the State of Israel. And, might I remind you of a well-considered slogan: NEVER AGAIN!

IS PRESIDENT OBAMA ANTI-SEMITIC: LOOKING AT HIS ASSOCIATES AND ACTIONS

IS PRESIDENT OBAMA ANTI-SEMITIC: LOOKING AT HIS ASSOCIATES AND ACTIONS

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 07:44 PM PDT

Once again, the ever-articulate Alan Caruba has produced a blog post that should be read by all Americans, especially those who are Jewish, as it presents President Barack Hussein Obama in a light that suggests that he and his Administration may be a clear and present danger to America in their prosecution of foreign policy.

To even consider a nuclear Iran, especially an Iran that is building intercontinental ballistic missiles, is to ignore the threat that Iran posses to Israel, the Middle East region, and to the United States and its allies. Iran, unlike the Russians, Pakistanis, North Koreans, or other nuclear-capable people, is ruled by people who are dedicated to the destruction of Israel, and if you can believe their leaders, bring about an apocalyptic battle that will signal the return of the 12th Imam.

What do you say to a man who is desperate to pursue his ideological agenda, validate his teachings by anti-Semites, and to secure a legacy that does not make a mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize that he was awarded without a single accomplishment, diplomatic or otherwise.

Take heed Americans, and Jews, Alan Caruba, in a learned and articulate manner, has asked an elemental question: Is Obama Anti-Semitic?     

Is Obama Anti-Semitic?  By Alan Caruba – Warning Signs

A poster in Israel 

President Obama made no secret of his displeasure that Benjamin Netanyahu was reelected to be Israel’s Prime Minister. Only David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister and one of the nation’s founders, served longer.

Obama lives in some parallel universe apart from the lessons of history and the realities of what is actually occurring. On May 18, 2009, not long after Netanyahu had been in office and was visiting the White House, Obama was demanding that he endorse Palestinian statehood and freeze the settlements on the West Bank.

Considering that the Palestinians had refused statehood from the day the United Nations endorsed Israel’s independence that has been a fool’s mission no matter who was President or Prime Minister.

As for Obama’s demands about settlements, who is Obama to tell the Israelis in 2009 where and if they can build the housing needed for its growing population? And yet Netanyahu, seeking to accommodate Obama, endorsed Palestinian statehood shortly thereafter and then announced a ten-month freeze on settlement development.

What did Netanyahu get in return? Nothing.

In 2014 when the Israelis responded militarily to months of rocket attacks from Gaza, it contacted the Department of State to request Hellfire missiles and Obama reportedly personally blocked the shipments.

The talks with Iran that have been Obama’s obsession since he took office have continued despite his promise not to “have talks forever.” This has been his pattern of behavior since the day he took office. As Wall Street columnist Brett Stephens observed, “The President collects hard favors from allies and replays them with neglect and derision. This is the mentality of a peevish and callow potentate.”

Netanyahu’s speech to a joint meeting of Congress left the White House deeply angered and his reelection probably stunned them. The Israelis are accustomed to being underestimated.

At this point, Obama has given plenty of evidence that he is both pro-Islam and anti-Israel. Michael Haltman has written a timeline of events, “Obama’s Israel Hatred”, that reflect Obama’s attitudes in terms of the people with whom he associated before his 2008 run for the presidency and the events that followed thereafter.

Unspoken, but widely suspected, is the question of whether Obama is also anti-Semitic. As Haltman points out “Obama has spent his entire life surrounded by haters of Israel, from the former Palestine Liberation Organization, Rashid Khalid to former Jimmy Carter National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Bazinski. Most famously people became aware of Rev. Jeramiah Wright whose church Obama attended and where he was married. Wright has been quoted saying “Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me.”

The question of anti-Semitism is complicated by the fact that Obama has surrounded himself with Jews in the White House.

The Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Lew, is Jewish. As is Gene Sperling, the Director of the National Economic Council. Janet Yellen, the Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve is Jewish as is a senior advisor, David Plouffe, as well as a dozen others. Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former chief of staff is Jewish as was his former senior advisor, David Axelrod. At least fifteen other Jews formerly held high office in the administration.

For anti-Semites, that would be “proof” that the White House is “run by Jews”, but that would not only be absurd, it would ignore the Muslims that Obama has put into positions of power and influence throughout his administration. Obama's Jewish personnel choices all share his very liberal views.

I define anti-Semitism as a serious or general dislike of Jews. It can be either overt or covert. As in most cases in life, you can make your own conclusion based on a person’s actions, not words.

There is little doubt, however, that Obama shares an antipathy to Israel that is widespread among world leaders and many others. After two thousand years, the reemergence of Israel as a sovereign state in 1948 has no doubt baffled and irked those who hold Jews in contempt. Up until the election of Obama Israel had been supported by whoever was in the White House and understood to be an ally.

Now that he is in the final years of his presidency, Obama does not have to hide his antipathy to Israel, nor did he make much effort to do so in this first term.

The White House suggestion that they might take the two-state issue to the United Nations Security Council reflects Obama’s pique over Netanyahu’s speech to Congress opposing the Iran nuclear deal and his reelection. By contrast, his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmoud Abbas, is now in the 11th year of his four-year term. Who needs elections in Palestine? And the Palestinian Authority is now linked with Hamas, the Gaza-based terrorist group.

Seeking United Nations involvement is a last ditch effort to harm Israel, but it hardly matters what the United Nations does or does not do because it is the most obscenely anti-Israel international institution.

What troubles most people, irrespective of any real or assumed anti-Israel or anti-Semitic element, is Obama’s pursuit of a deal with the Iranians that would permit them at some point to make their own nuclear weapons. It quite simply makes no sense to anyone except Obama. Iran has made no secret of its wish to “wipe Israel off the map.” Netanyahu left no doubt that Israel would use military force to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities. In the past they destroyed such facilities in Iraq and Syria.

As for the Iranians, they don’t care how the negotiations turn out. They have gotten a respite from the sanctions and had funds that were frozen returned; securing money and time to continue their nuclear ambitions.

As for the destruction of Israel, Iran has both Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza as their proxies to threaten Israel, so they can wait for a nuke to finish off the job. And who did the U.S. just remove from its list of terrorist nations and groups? Iran and Hezbollah!

I suspect that once Obama returns to civilian life, we will learn more about his views about race and religion. What we have learned at this point is that he doesn’t like an America that is a world power and the leader of the free world. His policy of retreat has caused allies and enemies alike to distrust him.

Anti-Semitic? Anti-Israel? Regrettably his words and actions demonstrate that this can be said of Obama with relative ease.
