Protecting Our Homeland - I believe protecting our homeland is the most important responsibility we, the people entrust to the federal government
- Militant Islam is on the rise all over the world. In Feb 1998, Osama Bin Laden declared war on the United States.
- The rallying cry of the World Islamic Front is to murder any American, anywhere on earth. No differentiation is made between soldiers and civilians, we all are targets.
Bin Laden knows history. He has been emboldened by:
- President Carter’s ineptitude during the Iranian hostage crisis.
- President Reagan’s withdrawal from Lebanon.
- President Clinton’s lack of response during attacks on our military personnel, embassies in Africa, and the USS Cole, followed by his disgraceful withdrawal from Somalia.
- President Bush’s inability to mobilize the American people for war.
- President Obama’s willingness to negotiate and blame America. Now President Obama has told our enemies they are safe from massive retaliation even if they use chemical, biological or cyber attacks on our cities. Bin Laden and other advisaries see us as weak and lazy, more worried about our money than the mortal danger he represents. Like it or not, we are in a fight that will not end until we defeat those who declared war on us.
- President Obama has not acknowledged we are at war with radical Islamic extremist.
- Congress has not declared war since WWII. Congress must do the following:
1. Congress declares a State of War exists between the United States and Enemies who advocate, plan, prepare, attempt, or execute acts of violence against the United States or our citizens.
2. The President shall mobilize and employ the entire might of the United States to secure our air, land, space, and sea borders, and locate, kill or capture our Enemies wherever they may be found.
3. Any Nation that knowingly provides support or safe haven to our Enemies shall be deemed to have committed an act of war against the United States.
4. Our Enemies shall be treated as enemy combatants subject to detention by the Armed Forces of the United States until this State of War is concluded or until they are tried and judgment rendered.
5. Our Enemies shall be subject to trial in Military Tribunals outside of the U.S. continental boundaries, and to punishment, including death, imposed by such Tribunals.
6. No person who properly executes their sworn and legal duty to protect us from our Enemies shall be subject to trial.
7. No inferior Court shall have jurisdiction to hear any challenge to this Declaration of War.
Alert! The size of our rapidly growing national debt will defeat our Nation just as surely as any external enemy. No shot is needed to defeat us, our Administration and the Democrat congress are doing that by passing legislation that will bring us to our fiscal, social, constitutional knees. This must stop and be reversed now.
