Ask Lujan, Heinrick and our own Teague. They voted for this or were conveniently absent.

Something happened... H.R. 1388 was passed behind our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news... just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.

Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA. This is the news that didn't make the headlines...

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza.

The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States, was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

Obama Signs Presidential Determination Allowing Palestinians Loyal to Hamas to Resettle in US

Received in an email making the rounds:

Here is yet another unilateral action taken by our new President, for which we must rely upon the information of friends to discover. I wonder how the "Jewish" block of Democratic voters now feels about their choice for President.

Try and tell the American people that Obama doesn't have ties to the Islamic terrorist world. Obama funds $20M tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA

This is the news that didn't make the headlines...

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in migration assistance to the Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza . The "presidential determination" which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

Few on Capitol Hill took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

A review of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated:

His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. His first one-on-one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television. He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted. He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed. He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11. Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to and live in the US at American taxpayer expense.

Shocker, Mother Jones Agrees With World Net Daily On Cybersecurity (Updates)

Originally published 4/6/09 on Otero Residents Forum http://oteroresidentsforum.blogspot.com/

You would be hard pressed to find more left (Mother Jones) and more right (World Net Daily) websites. Yet, here they are asking the same questions of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009.

WorldNetDaily
Will bill give Obama control of Internet?
Proposed new powers called 'drastic federal intervention'

..."Senate bills No. 773 and 778, introduced by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V. [also Olympia Snow], are both part of what's being called the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, which would create a new Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, reportable directly to the president and charged with defending the country from cyber attack....

"The whole thing smells bad to me," writes Larry Seltzer in eWeek, an Internet and print news source on technology issues. "I don't like the chances of the government improving this situation by taking it over generally, and I definitely don't like the idea of politicizing this authority by putting it in the direct control of the president."...

Mother Jones
Should Obama Control the Internet?
A new bill would give the President emergency authority to halt web traffic and access private data.

"...The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (PDF) gives the president the ability to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any "critical" information network "in the interest of national security." The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president.

The bill does not only add to the power of the president. It also grants the Secretary of Commerce "access to all relevant data concerning [critical] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access." This means he or she can monitor or access any data on private or public networks without regard to privacy laws...."

Please take the time to contact Senators Bingamen and Udall and make your voice heard.

Update: The media blitz has begun and it is all about fear. First, the Wall Street Journal 4/8/09 Electricity Grid in U.S. Penetrated By Spies http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123914805204099085.html followed by "General: Growing threat from cyber attacks..." a Breitbart link on DRUDGE that appears to be broken. Oh, no! It is already happening, heh, heh.

Update 2: Noon MST, it is now being reported on nationally syndicated radio news. They picked up the WSJ story, the one where we should be afraid - this has been going on for over a year - nothing has happened, hype. Good job, Rockefeller and Snowe.

Trillions, Your Cost, Obama Administration. What To Do

TRILLIONS:

Congress passes $3.5 trillion budget in the dark

“The practical implications of this budget are that we will put in place
spending and borrowing which will absolutely put this country on an
unsustainable path and WILL create massive problems for us in the out years if
it’s followed,” said ranking Senate Budget Committee member Judd Gregg
(R-N.H.).
http://hotair.com/archives/2009/04/03/congress-passes-35-trillion-budget-in-the-dark/


YOUR COST:

• President Bush began a string of expensive financial bailouts. President Obama is accelerating that course.

What does this mean for the average taxpayer?

Before the recession, federal spending totaled $24,000 per U.S. household. Obama’s budget would increase it to $32,000 per household by 2019—an inflation-adjusted $8,000-per-household expansion of government. And while your taxes will be raised to pay for it, no livable level of taxation would be able to pay for this increase in spending.

COMPROMISED ADMINISTRATION:

Summers Earned Millions in D.E. Shaw Salary, Bank Speech Fees

By Timothy J. Burger and Kristin Jensen
April 4 (Bloomberg) -- Lawrence Summers, director of President Barack Obama’s National Economic Council, earned millions working at a hedge fund and speaking to banks such as Citigroup Inc. that later received taxpayer bailout money....

The disclosure statement for Summers and several other top administration officials illustrates the quandary Obama and his predecessors have faced in their personnel decisions because “powerful people are almost always also rich people” who have earned money from private interests, said Steffen Schmidt, a political science professor at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.

Obama’s “choice going forward is to choose unknowns of modest means who may be less controversial in terms of their connections,” Schmidt said. “Except those people would be far less knowledgeable and thus less of an asset to fix these very same urgent problems.” ...

Other Officials

The White House also released the personal financial disclosure forms of other top White House officials yesterday.

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s form listed a holding of less than $1,000 in shares of American International Group Inc., the insurer that has taken $182.5 billion in taxpayer funds to avoid financial collapse. The White House said Emanuel doesn’t currently own shares in the company...

WHAT TO DO:

Beware the fury of enraged citizens
Posted 4/03/2009 01:00:00 PM
© 2009 by Michael Swickard, Ph.D.

It is hard for our local, state and national leaders to understand the fury of enraged citizens. A local politician was startled when I said, “Go against the wishes of the people at your own political risk.” We were discussing the introduction of “red-light cameras” to our city. I predicted that if they were adopted in this faltering economy, no one voting for these cameras would ever be re-elected. ...
