Subject: AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:
Posted: Aug 25 2010 at 10:51am

Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech,  said:

"I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story."



AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:

Dear Mr. Obama:

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?
 Funny, I thought they were Native Americans.

Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day?  Sorry
again, those were Pilgrims and Native Americans.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?

Declaration of Independence ?

Bill of Rights?

Didn't think so.

Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from
England?  No.

Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the
slaves in America?  No, they did
not.  In fact, Muslims to this day are
still the largest traffickers in human
slavery.  Your own half brother, a devout
Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even
though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black
Muslims as "pug nosed slaves."  Says a lot
of what the Muslim world really thinks of your
family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr.
Obama?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?  Not
present.

Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era?  Again,
not present.  In fact,
devout Muslims demand that women are subservient
to men in the Islamic culture.  So much so,
that often they are beaten for not wearing the
'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a
direct family member or their husband.
Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights,
aren't they?

Where were Muslims during World War II?  They were aligned with Adolf
Hitler.  The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler,
reviewed the troops and accepted support from
the Nazi's in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?  If they
weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a
field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on
our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle
East.  No one can dispute the pictures
shown from all parts of the Muslim world
celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other
cable news networks that day.  Strangely,
the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent
over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June
4th were stone cold silent post 9-11.  To
many Americans, their silence has meant approval
for the acts of that day.

And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in
America.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates.  They were
Muslim.

And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers
at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who
was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America .

EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS !!

Muslim heritage, my ass.

Look who's ‘nativist’ now!

By Ann Coulter


"Nativism in American politics has become so rampant that it is considered scandalous in Republican circles for a judge to acknowledge paying any attention to foreign courts and their legal rulings." -- New York Times editorial, Aug. 3, 2010

The New York Times runs this same smug editorial every few months -- at least I think it's the same editorial -- to vent its spleen at conservatives who object to American judges relying on foreign law to interpret the U.S. Constitution.

But when it comes to anchor babies, The New York Times and the entire Democratic establishment plug their ears and hum rather than consider foreign laws on citizenship. (For more on this, see "Mexican immigration law versus U.S. immigration law.")

Needless to say, America is the only developed nation that allows illegal aliens to gain full citizenship for their children merely by dropping them on U.S. soil.

Take Sweden -- one of the left's favorite countries. Not only is there no birthright citizenship, but even the children of legal immigrants cannot become Swedish citizens simply by being born there. At least one parent must be a citizen for birth on Swedish soil to confer citizenship.

(Applicants also have to know the lyrics to at least one ABBA song, which explains why you don't see groups of Mexicans congregating outside Ikea stores.)

Liberals are constantly hectoring Americans to adopt Sweden's generous welfare policies without considering that one reason Sweden's welfare policies haven't bankrupted the country (yet) is that the Swedes don't grant citizenship to the children of any deadbeat who manages the spectacular feat of giving birth on Swedish soil.

In Britain, only birth to at least one British citizen or the highest class of legal immigrant, a "settled" resident with the right to remain, such as Irish citizens, confers citizenship on a child born in England. And if the British birthright is through the father, he must be married to the mother (probably a relic from Victorian times when marriage was considered an important institution).

Even Canada, the country most similar to the United States, grants citizenship upon birth -- but excludes the noncitizen parents of anchor babies from receiving benefits, such as medical care, schooling and other free stuff given to Canadian citizens.

After MSNBC'S favorite half-black guest, professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell, made the dazzling point last week that "all babies are anchor babies" because "I certainly know my 8-year-old has anchored the heck out of my life," thereby winning this week's witty wordplay contest, she claimed to be stumped on how citizenship could possibly be determined if not by location of birth.

"I want Americans to pause for a moment and ask themselves," Harris-Lacewell said portentously, "on what basis would you determine citizenship, if not based on where a child is born?" (Luckily for Harris-Lacewell, U.S. citizenship is not granted on problem-solving abilities.)

Harris was off and running, babbling: "Do you have to have two parents who are citizens? How about grandparents? How about great-grandparents?"

I don't know -- how does Sweden do it? How about Denmark? Maybe we should check the laws of every other country in the universe -- especially the ones liberals are relentlessly demanding we emulate!

Or is Ms. Lacewell one of those chest-thumping, nationalistic nativists who becomes hysterical when anyone brings up foreign law? Where is The New York Times when we need it?

The Times' editorial denouncing "nativist" conservatives ended with this little homily: "(Republicans) might want to re-read James Madison's description in the Federalist Papers of the ideal legislator: 'He ought not to be altogether ignorant of the law of nations.'"

Of course, conservatives' objection to judges looking to foreign law is that they're judges, not legislators -- least of all "ideal legislators."

Judges are supposed to be interpreting a constitution and laws written by legislators, not legislating from the bench. Hey, whose turn is it to remind The New York Times that the legislative branch of our government is different from the judicial branch?

As the Times' own august quote from James Madison indicates, he was referring to "the ideal legislator," not "the ideal Supreme Court justice."

In its haste to call conservatives names, the Times not only gave away that they think judges are supposed to be "legislators" -- a point they've been denying for decades -- but also provided a ringing endorsement for ending birthright citizenship.

Not being an easily frightened nativist like Harris-Lacewell, I think we should look at other countries' laws, then adopt the good ones and pass on the bad ones.

For example, let's skip clitorectomies, arranged marriages, dropping walls on homosexuals, honor killings and the rest of the gorgeous tapestry of multiculturalism.

Instead, how about we adopt foreign concepts such as disallowing frivolous lawsuits, having loser-pays tort laws, and requiring that both parents be in the U.S. legally and at least one parent be a citizen, for a child born here to get automatic citizenship?

Or (to paraphrase my favorite newspaper) has nativism in American politics become so rampant that it is considered scandalous in Democratic circles for a legislator to acknowledge paying any attention to foreign countries and their laws? If so, then Democrats might want to re-read James Madison's description in the Federalist Papers of the ideal legislator: "He ought not to be altogether ignorant of the law of nations."

Subject: Three Great Waves
Posted: Aug 19 2010 at 1:26pm

 Three Great Waves
 

In just four months, on January 1, 2011, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect.


They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves.


On January 1, 2011, here’s what happens... (read it to the end, so you see all three waves)...



    

First Wave:



Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief


In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families.


These will all expire on January 1, 2011.




Personal income tax rates will rise.


The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). 

    

The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. 

    

All the rates in between will also rise. 

    


Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. 



The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:
The 10% bracket rises to an expanded 15%
The 25% bracket rises to 28%
The 28% bracket rises to 31%
The 33% bracket rises to 36%
The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%


 

Higher taxes on marriage and family. 


The "marriage penalty" (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of income. 



The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. 



The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level. 



The dependent care and adoption tax credits will be cut.



The return of the Death Tax.


This year only, there is no death tax.  (It’s a quirk!) For those dying on or after January 1, 2011, there is a 55 percent

top death tax rate on estates over $1 million.  A person leaving behind two homes, a business, a retirement account, could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones.  Think of the farmers who don’t make much money, but their land, which they purchased years ago with after-tax dollars, is now worth a lot of money.  Their children will have to sell the farm, which may be their livelihood, just to pay the estate tax if they don’t have the cash sitting around to pay the tax.  Think about your own family’s assets.  Maybe your family owns real estate, or a business that doesn’t make much money, but the building and equipment are worth $1 million.  Upon their death, you can inherit the $1 million business tax free, but if they own a home, stock, cash worth $500K on top of the $1 million business, then you will owe the government $275,000 cash!  That’s 55% of the value of the assets over $1 million!  Do you have that kind of cash sitting around waiting to pay the estate tax?




Higher tax rates on savers and investors.


The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 20 percent in 2011. 


The dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 39.6 percent in 2011. 


These rates will rise another 3.8 percent in 2013.




Second Wave:


Obamacare



There are over twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Several will first go into effect on January 1, 2011.  They include:




The "Medicine Cabinet Tax"


Thanks to Obamacare, Americans will no longer be able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin).



The "Special Needs Kids Tax"


This provision of Obamacare imposes a cap on flexible spending accounts (FSAs) of $2500 (Currently, there is no federal government limit). There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. 


There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States , and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education.


Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington , D.C. ( National Child Research Center ) can easily exceed $14,000 per year.


Under tax rules, FSA dollars can not be used to pay for this type of special needs education.



The HSA (Health Savings Account) Withdrawal Tax Hike.


This provision of Obamacare increases the additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent.





Third Wave:


The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and Employer Tax Hikes


When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2011, they'll be in for a nasty surprise-the AMT won't be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired.


The major items include:



The AMT will ensnare over 28 million families, up from 4 million last year.


According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center , Congress' failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families-rising from 4 million last year to 28.5 million.  These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level.  The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.



Small business expensing will be slashed and 50% expensing will disappear.


Small businesses can normally expense (rather than slowly-deduct, or "depreciate") equipment purchases up to $250,000. 


This will be cut all the way down to $25,000.  Larger businesses can currently expense half of their purchases of equipment. 


In January of 2011, all of it will have to be "depreciated."



Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses.


There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place.  The biggest is the loss of the "research and experimentation tax credit," but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.



Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced.


The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available.


Tax credits for education will be limited. 


Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.


Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut.


Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed. 


The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.



Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed.


Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA. 


This contribution also counts toward an annual "required minimum distribution."  This ability will no longer be there.

And worse yet?



Now, your insurance will be INCOME on your W2's!


One of the surprises we'll find come next year, is what follows - - a little "surprise" that 99% of us had no idea was included in the "new and improved" healthcare legislation . . . the dupes, er, dopes, who backed this administration will be astonished!


Starting in 2011, (next year folks), your W-2 tax form sent by your employer will be increased to show the value of whatever health insurance you are given by the company. It does not matter if that's a private concern or governmental body of some sort. 


If you're retired?  So what... your gross will go up by the amount of insurance you get.


You will be required to pay taxes on a large sum of money that you have never seen.  Take your tax form you just finished and see what $15,000 or $20,000 additional gross does to your tax debt.  That's what you'll pay next year. 


For many, it also puts you into a new higher bracket so it's even worse.




This is how the government is going to buy insurance for the15% that don't have insurance and it's only part of the tax increases.


Not believing this???  Here is a research of the summaries.....


On page 25 of 29: TITLE IX REVENUE PROVISIONS- SUBTITLE A: REVENUE OFFSET PROVISIONS-(sec. 9001,

as modified by sec. 10901) Sec.9002  "requires employers to include in the W-2 form of each employee the aggregate cost of applicable employer sponsored group health coverage that is excludable from the employees gross income."

Big surprise !!!

Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and US President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During State Of The Union (SOTU) Address.

Consider this:

1.   President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a “lawyer”.   He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.    

A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license.   No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you "voluntarily surrender" you license five seconds before the state suspends you.

2.   Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993.  

3.   So, we have the first black President and First Lady — who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts.

Source:  http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/

4.   A senior lecturer is one thing...  A fully ranked law professor is another.   Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago .

5.   The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school—but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.

6.   "He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law .

Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html  ;

7.   The former Constitutional senior lecturer cited the US Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence … not the Constitution.

8.   The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/

9.   Free Republic:  In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….

10.  Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President.   By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights.  The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.


11.  And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech???

When you are a phoney it's hard to keep facts straight.

Subject: The New High School Principal
Posted: Aug 04 2010 at 10:03pm

This speech should be mandatory for all schools.

 

Amen!!

 

If every school principal gave this speech at the beginning of the next school year, America would be a better place.

 

To the students and faculty of our high school:

 

I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

 

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.

 

First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships.

 

The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize is your individual identity -- your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans.

 

If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race-and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America , one of its three central values -- e pluribus unum, "from many, one" And this school will be guided by America 's values.

 

This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.

 

Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interesting in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

 

Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America 's citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here -- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English -- but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.

 

Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

 

Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can't speak without using the f-word, you can't speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as "Nigger," even when used by one black student to address another black, or "bitch," even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

 

Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

 

Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky -- to be alive and to be an American.

 

Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.

Subject: WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Overwhelm the system
Posted: Jun 25 2010 at 4:57pm

Barack Obama is no fool.  He is not incompetent.  To the contrary, he is brilliant.  He knows exactly what he's doing.  He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. 

Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83).  As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.  Add up the clues below.  Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.  Why not?  They have no responsibility to pay for it.

 

--Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care.  It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.  Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

 

 

--Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.  The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."

 

-- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?  Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along.  His goal is to add two new  Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

 

-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.  Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.

 

-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.  The ends justify the means.

 

-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).  Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government.  Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.

 

With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.

Senators Challenge Pres. Obama on Rumors of Executive Order Amnesty
Monday, June 21, 2010, 4:58 PM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA

Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), eight Senators addressed a letter to the President asking for answers to questions about a plan that would allow DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty if they can't secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate.

The letter that was sent to Pres. Obama earlier today asks the President for clarification on the use of deferred action or parole for illegal aliens. The executive actions are typically used in special cases and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but if 60 votes can't be secured in the Senate to pass a mass Amnesty, the Administration may use the discretionary actions as an alternative.

Here is the text of the letter signed by Sens. Grassley, Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Cochran (R-Miss.).

Dear President Obama:

We understand that there’s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. We understand that the Administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come. We understand that deferred action and parole are discretionary actions reserved for individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances. Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a “case-by-case” basis.

While we agree our immigration laws need to be fixed, we are deeply concerned about the potential expansion of deferred action or parole for a large illegal alien population. While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congress’ constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States.

The Administration would be wise to abandon any plans for deferred action or parole for the illegal population. Such a move would further erode the American public’s confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books.

We would appreciate receiving a commitment that the Administration has no plans to use either authority to change the current position of a large group of illegal aliens already in the United States, and ask that you respond to us about this matter as soon as possible.

Carson council sides with residents offended by Hallmark card

There were tears, comforting hugs and calls for unity this week as the Carson City Council sided with residents offended by a Hallmark graduation card that some believe is a disguised racist attack on black women.

The argument centers around the use of the phrase "black hole," a region of space that absorbs all the light around it. But local NAACP leaders have said it sounds too much like "black whore" or "black ho."

The card, which features cartoon dogs "Hoops and Yoyo" bantering about taking over the universe - including its planets and black holes - caused severe emotional pain, residents told the Carson City Council on Tuesday night.

Residents and council members said the card should be hurriedly removed because it has offended them. Some local NAACP and council members went so far as to say that any product that offends anyone should be recalled.

Olivia Verrett, president of the Carson-Torrance branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the emotional pain she and others felt when they heard the card cannot be described reasonably.

"There is no intellectual point of view and there's no scientific point of view you can refer to - hurt is hurt," Verrett told the council. "You cannot describe hurt any other way than how you feel it

.inside. Hallmark has put out this cryptic information and only those individuals to whom Hoops and Yoyo are directing this to understand what they are saying."

Verrett said the NAACP is actually promoting unity by protesting the card because it encourages people to be more culturally sensitive. The council wholeheartedly agreed with her in a unanimous vote to support a resolution urging Hallmark Cards Inc. to quickly remove the cards from all stores where it is sold nationwide.

While representatives of the greeting card company maintain that this is a misunderstanding and that the card is solar-system based, not racist, they have agreed to get rid of inventory of the card and to urge stores to destroy it.

"We believe that in the context of the copy itself, the intent of the card is clear: that after graduation there is a universe of opportunity and that this graduate is ready to take it on," Hallmark said in a written statement. "We regret that any consumer would misinterpret or misunderstand the language used in this particular card."

Local resident Maryanne O'Neil defended the card's use of the phrase "black holes."

"You really cannot talk about the solar system without mentioning black holes," she said. "Anytime you pick up a scientific textbook and you're talking about the cosmos, you have to have some discussion of black holes."

But the council sided strongly with those residents who took offense to the card.

Councilman Elito Santarina added an amendment to the resolution that "this kind of advertisement will never be accepted in the city of Carson. We are very, very sensitive to our diversity. We love it all."

The card reads: "You're graduating? Well then, it's time to let the world know what's coming. ... But not only the world, noooo! We're talking the entire solar system! The world is yours, grad!"

High-pitched voices in the card's automated recording jokingly threaten the world and universe: "You better watch out 'cause this graduate here's kicking rear and takin' names (laughter). This graduate's gonna run the world, run the universe, and run everything after that, whatever that is. And you black holes - you're so ominous (laughter). Congratulations! And you planets - watch your back!"

Councilman Mike Gipson went so far as to say that the city's resolution should be delivered to all local stores that sell the Hallmark card.

"I think we need to really pray for our country and pray for what we're going for right now in terms of issues of racism and subliminal messages that affect our children," he said.

Resident Imani Robinson asked residents to contact Hallmark and ask for an apology to all black women.

"Shame on you Hallmark Cards," Robinson said. "Hallmark - for whatever reason - chose to characterize African-American females as black holes. I will say this: black holes are very dangerous and destructive. I would challenge Hallmark to do something more than merely trying to get the cards back and to really apologize for characterizing me as a black hole."
