“This gang of 8 bill is a disaster”, Cruz began. “We’re hearing the exact same empty promises as 1986.  It grants legalization now, and promises that sometime in the future, trust us *wink wink* we’ll secure the border. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”

Asked about the motivations of Democrats and Republicans for pushing amnesty, Cruz said, “Democrats want it for pure politics. No citizenship, no bill. They want more Democrat voters, or have it voted down and use it as a political issue in 2014/2016.”

On the Republican side, he said, a lot of the support is unfortunately political, as well. “After 2012, all the Washington political consultants and MSM came to Republicans said you’ve got to do better with Hispanics, and the way to do better with Hispanics is amnesty, and Republicans are scared.” Cruz said that argument is nonsense, but there are a lot of Republicans who are scared and listening to the consultants.

Washington consultants advise on immigration, abortion, and gay marriage “that Republicans give up our principles and become Democrats.”

“It’s interesting. You’ve got a number of politicians who are listening it [to the New York Times’ advice] who have not heretofore gotten significant support in the Hispanic community. In my race in Texas—Texas is a majority-minority state—over 40% of the Hispanics in Texas voted for me in the Senate race, and I was very clear in the race from day one in opposing amnesty and supporting border security and improving legal immigration.”

He noted that there are about 20 Republican Senators who are on the fence, and that the time is right now to let your voices be heard. He recommended going to the  Secure the Border now website, and sign the petition, and to call your Senator.

“Washington, D.C. is a bubble, and there is nothing more powerful than the conservative grassroots when we are engaged and letting our voice be heard.”

In answer to Limbaugh’s question about the CBO report, Cruz said, “One thing Washington knows how to do is come up with bogus cost estimates. I mean, we all remember when Obamacare was passed, and we were told it would save money, and we’ve now discovered it’s gonna cost trillions.”

He went on to decry the “enormous cost” that amnesty would have on the economy. One thing, he said it would do is set up a de facto affirmative action -  “a strong preference in hiring for those who are here illegally” because illegal immigrants who are granted legal status would be exempt from benefits and it would be cheaper for employers to hire them than to hire native-born workers.

“If you’re a small-business owner, if you hire an American or if you hire a legal immigrant, you’re subject to a $2,000 dollar fine per employee if you’re not providing health-care under Obamacare. Where suddenly the 11,000,oo0 who are granted legalization, it doesn’t cost you that” He said that it’s a massive economic incentive for employers to not hire Americans in favor of the immigrants.

Senator Cruz has had a busy day.

In an address on the Senate floor, this afternoon, he strongly critiqued the Gang of 8 bill, citing its failure to protect the border. The video for that is here.

He also gave a speech at the Audit the IRS rally and called for the abolition of the IRS.

To keep a man a slave you do much the same as the cruel circus masters did to the elephant around the turn of last century. Clamp heavy chains around their legs and stake them to the ground. Then beat and terrorize them. After a while you no longer even have to stake the chain; the elephant gives up and just the mere rattle of the chain convinces the elephant there is no hope, so they give up and do what ever it is the circus requires.

FAX BLAST SPECIAL: Impeach Obama NOW!

Fredrick Douglas was lucky enough to live in a house where he was taught to read, write and think. He knew God did not make men masters over others. Nor did he ever intend any man to impose unrighteous dominion over another man or beast.

It is time we remind ourselves of this truth again, and begin to rise up against the intimidation before the handful of peanuts from our new political circus masters is considered a kindness and not the symbol of evil cruelty.

In the building behind me, they are now excusing storing all data, phone calls, financial transactions, geotracking on every American for our “safety,” while allowing anyone to cross our borders either on foot or in underground tunnels without any worry or consequence.

They have not suspended or fired but promoted those at the IRS who rattled the chains of control to any group that disagreed with their policies. And now, after pushing misery and death through the so-called “Arab Spring” in country after country, they are plotting a new war with Syria. This will bring death and destruction the world over. We are told that we need to pick sides and arm those who are so far down the scale of decency that even Vladimir Putin asked Americans if they knew that those we are arming have literally eaten their enemies on the battlefield.

The fact that he even needed to ask that question, and that most have never even seen the video of the commander of the rebel troops on TV engaging in this ungodly horror, is an indictment of our government officials and our media.

I am surrounded today by some modern-day spiritual giants. All from different faiths, different backgrounds and many different views. But we all have one thing in common. We don’t recognize our country anymore and because we know that God is just, we tremble for our children’s future.

We wonder, are we even worth defending anymore? If so, why? Who are we? And will we even notice or care when the chain is finally snapped around our legs?

What will be written about us? The greatest generation has passed. We are who historians will watch.

Will it be said that none called for justice not one pleaded for truth? They trusted in vanity and spoke lies. They conceived mischief and brought forth iniquity.

What is it we even believe as a people anymore? Where did we get these ideas that now seem so popular?

Our forbears came to these shores not for free stuff, but for freedom. The chance to make their own way, create a different life. They came here because they knew that God made them free to make their own way in life, take the risk, do their best and take responsibility for their own lives.

They came here because they wanted to serve Him in the way they believed, not as they were told.

But how many care about our history? And, of those who do care, how many really still believe?

Some things are worth believing in. That the little guy can make it. Every single life has value and is worth living. That honor and integrity do matter. That justice will prevail – if not in this life – then the next, and that God does exist. And what we do in our lives matters.

It is the meek and the humble that inherit the earth. Have we forgotten?

We have declared ourselves masters of the earth — spread our troops all over the world, taught the world how to do banking like we do it here in America.  Even though we can’t even master our own homes, protect our neighborhoods, or simply balance a check book. How grotesque and garish we must appear to those looking in.

I, for one, still believe in the silly notion of truth, justice and the American way.

Since our founding, a good percentage of our fellow citizens closed their eyes to the civil rights of all Americans. “I’m okay. I don’t want to think of the bad things going on. I am busy. It doesn’t affect me. It can’t be that bad and even if it is, I am just one person and what can I do about it anyway?”

Nothing has changed, except the chairs at the table.

Someone has always been on the losing end of the stick of power. Blacks are the most obvious, the Chinese, the Native Americans, but lets not forget the Irish, the Catholics, the Mormons, the Jews, and now it seems all those of faith that will not conform.

For those that think men make progress collectively: I warn you, history teaches that you couldn’t be more wrong. We are redeemed one man at a time. There is no “family pass” ticket or park hopping pass to life. One ticket, one life at a time.

Man doesn’t vanquish hatred or bigotry. The target keeps moving. From the blacks to the Irish. Atheists to Christians.

But as always, there are a few leaders: Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, Fredrick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, Gandhi and Martin Luther King. They know that the march toward freedom never ends; man must be ever-vigilant and pray less with his lips and more with his legs.

They never forget that truth, justice, and freedom are the wellspring from which the waters of man’s civil rights come. And so they must be upheld for all men – those you know, those you do not, and maybe more importantly — they must be upheld for those who you do know but do not like or agree with at all.

If they are lost for one, in the end they are lost for all.

In the past, these historic stands which we now call civil rights movements were done by a small but dedicated portion of our citizens which led to great shifts in our culture.  But those movements always came from the same institutions … the church.  And usually not the church with the popular preacher, but the one who put it on the line to tell the people the truth.

Preachers like these men, who know that we are all born free, but that freedom comes at a great price — a profound responsibility to stand against injustice, hatred and bigotry. Our pulpits have gone quiet out of arrogance, fear and apathy. Their faith is found in the wisdom of man and not in the power of God. For some, losing tithing checks or the gold Rolex watch has become more important than losing man’s freedom.

Whatever the reason, too many are no longer willing to call evil by its name. There is no vision. And when there is no vision, the people perish.

I humbly suggest to you that Martin Luther King knew the answer, and he lost more than congregants during his long march. Students are taught that his vision came from the ideas of Gandhi. Maybe a new radical 20th century progressive philospher was the one that taught MLK that “although we be free of all men, when we choose to make ourselves servants to all, we gain the more.”

Let’s get a couple of things straight. What MLK and Gandhi did was not progressive or new. It was an ancient idea. Hollywood, Woodstock, nor the hippie culture was the source of power of the 1960s freedom movement.

God was.

He was leading those who risked their lives over that bridge in Selma, not Janice Joplin, Columbia University, or a labor union. It wasn’t John Lennon that taught people about love and peaceful resistance — that job fell on the shoulders of a Jewish carpenter. And it is there that we will find the answers that will break the chains that are being forged for a new generation of slaves.

The rights that so many Americans ignorantly preach about so often are not really their rights. They belong to God and they are given to us for stewardship. They are pretty important and obvious. So obvious that we used to say they were “self-evident,” meaning that humans don’t need to be taught; you instinctively know that you have a right not to be executed without a trial, held without charge, searched without warrant or spied upon without cause.

The government is no longer the protector of those civil rights, and so we must be. When we are told that it is okay for the IRS, EPA, ATF, FBI or anyone to hassle, threaten or intimidate others because of their skin color, religion or political belief, we stop being the country that we all want to build, and start being the country the world should fear.

The long train of abuses regarding these rights are the same MLK marched against, and the very same our dusty founders warned us about losing.

Men may make progress, but man never changes. Man loves power and money. No matter the skin color, religion or income level. These symbols of our nation make men drunk with power, who then justify their lust for more by claiming they are public servants. The only difference between Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. is that at least Vegas has the decency to admit the town is full of hookers and crooks.

We must sober up and admit that too many of the Republicans and the Democrats have played us, lied to us and stolen from us, while the getaway car was driven by the media. A media that can no longer claim with a straight face the role of journalist. Journalists print the things the powerful don’t want printed. What they do is public relations. Those PR firms will not print the truth about the average American who finds himself concerned with the direction of our country today. So we must.

We are not violent. We are not racist. We are not anti immigrant. We are not anti-government. And we will not be silent anymore.

Those who wish to use unrighteous dominion over mankind are not enemies of ours; they are enemies of God, and He will not be silent much longer either.

We will no longer accept the lies, the corruption, or the information and data gathering. It is evil. And we come here today to send a message that we will surround all of those who wish to stand and break the cycle of corruption. We will use ourselves as shields to protect those in the system, the elected officials or whistle blowers with the courage to stand.

We come here today to respectfully, but with the power of the spirit, demand to be treated as an equal member of society. I am a man, and I will be treated as such. I answer to only one king and His kingdom will come, His will be done. We have chosen sides and we choose God. America as a nation must do the same, as well.

We come today to declare our independence, to reaffirm our founding principles. We, as a nation, acknowledge a creator. We acknowledge that he gives certain natural, guaranteed rights to man. We declare that government exists primarily to protect these natural, God-given rights. He has established right and wrong. He is just and therefore, man must pay for his mistakes either now on Earth, or through God’s justice later.

There is no such thing as social justice. Only God can balance things out, and we are not God. But honest and decent men can fight for and establish equal justice.

There is no such thing as collective salvation. We, however, are going to be judged on how we treat our fellow brothers and sisters. Thus we must serve them, help them with charity toward all. “Malice toward none,” Lincoln said. God said it slightly differently – vengeance is mine.

Anyone who speaks of punishing their political enemies in on the wrong side. It is clearly evil and we have a responsibility to say so.

America: it is now your time to rise up and boldly declare those same self-evident truths that changed the world, and demand that those truths remain the basis of our laws.

My civil rights will not be trampled, and I say this not for me but for my children, and all those who yearn to breathe free. Those who make your Apple products at Foxxcon, those who languish in prisons in Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela. Those homosexuals who are stoned to death in the streets of Egypt or Iran, while our so-called civil rights leaders hold coffee klatches with third graders in the White House.

We will stand not for our job, house or income, but we will stand for those immigrants who came here the right way, and not have their dreams destroyed by increasing competition at the lowest rung of the ladder while keeping the brightest and best minds out of the visa pool allowing for little competition at the top.

We will not pervert women’s rights and twist it into a gross silent defense of abortion doctors in Philly and Houston while turning our eyes from the forgotten women who have never had the civil right to walk alone on a street without a man, or to drive a car in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, and even those who now cower in fear with their faces covered in states like Florida, Virginia, New York and Minnesota.

We will not waste another second shadow boxing the demons of the past when the fight to end actual slavery is still happening today. Call it what you will, but those who make your iPad in China – those who make your cute little Mao purses – are the very people you claim to care so much about. They are the ones yearning to breathe free. And worse, there is the oldest form of human degradation man has ever known, the sex slave trade that currently has in its coils over 2 million children. The biggest source of this evil is a wide open hole in our Arizona border.

We beg the American people to wake up and help the 8-year-old children being sold into sex slavery. The press may say, ‘How dare these men declare themselves the next Martin Luther King or civil rights leaders?’

How blind to believe the civil rights movement ever ended. The civil rights movement never ends, and it never will. It has been marching since the beginning of time. Where Martin Luther King started is where Gandhi left off, and where he started, Abe Lincoln left off, and before that Whitfield all the way back to Moses. God has not moved. We have. But it is never too late. We are not at the mercy of these events. We can alter the course of history. We can stand against the dangerous arc of this story.

But we need people who are willing to speak truth.

The last century was a century of genocide. A century where collectivist, national socialist, and communist evil rose up again and again… swallowing up the lives of millions. It happens every time man says the collective is more important than the right of the individual. That one phrase becomes in the end – every time – a license to kill anyone deemed to be standing in the way of progress.

But evil met its match. Goodness eventually prevailed. People like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, Jr., Lech Walesa and Mother Theresa awoke the world. They gave their lives to the pursuit of human rights. They took the side of justice against injustice; they held aloft the torch of freedom to push out the darkness of hate. These men and women lived difficult lives. They often lived shortened lives. They were often born to relative privilege, but willing to take on suffering. They did want not to martyr themselves. They would have happily lived to the end of their natural lives in comfort… but to the righteous, there is no comfort when evil has taken root.

But the cause of human rights has been taken over by organizations who share little with the individuals who led the movement. Human rights was once a cry for justice. Now it used as a threat. These organizations have become bullies and grotesque parodies of the principles they pretend to represent. They criticize free nations and spare the unfree. They denounce nations like Israel and America, who have high standards for freedom, and leave alone nations that have no freedom at all. They are nearly comical in their double-standards.

They are no more than the enforcers or the attack dogs of those who wish to keep men confined in spaces they design. Whatever moral force they once had is spent. Their time is up. And so, we dismiss them. Today we take back the phrase “human rights” and place it where it belongs, as the first half of God’s plan for humanity. The second half is responsibility.

If we want to be endowed with rights – real human rights, we have to act with responsibility. We must not be comfortable with rights. We must be comfortable with responsibility.

Who will protect your rights better? A king, president or you?

Who will protect the truth? A reporter, a labor union or you?

Who will protect and teach your children to seek truth? A textbook committee, an education bureaucrat, or you?

Did a commission of wise men stop the Holocaust? Did a committee of Congress end Jim Crow?

No. In each case, the work was done by individuals who would not abide convenient lies.

They saw injustice and they called it out. They saw their nation wage war against a single group and they said “not in my name.” They didn’t wait for the conventions of society to catch up to God’s laws. They pushed. They pressed. And they were victorious.

Each of us have been waiting for a leader to rise from among us. And none have. How many have been called and refused to serve? How many must have failed to heed the call for the Lord to make it all the way down to us?

I pray now that those who have heard the call to rise up in the tradition of peaceful resistance do so now before, as it was with Bonhoeffer, it is too late. I beg those with eyes and ears to heed the call and begin to train under the exact system used by MLK. Search his words out. You will find that your history professors and civil rights activists left out the real author of the words of Gandhi, King and Bonhoeffer.

Read them, ponder them, and risk living them. Even though they will make you a target of the NSA, having your name on their list as an enemy may in the end be the way your name is forever etched in his book of life.

Pastors, priests and rabbis: I challenge you. What have you done with your knowledge and priesthood power that those without have not done this week? If you cannot answer that with power every day, what does that say about you?

Average citizens and college students: I challenge you. Martin Luther King didn’t take a class, get a certificate and a bunch of permits. He saw injustice, studied eternal truths, exercised discipline and marched.

If you don’t find a leader, perhaps it is because you were meant to lead.

Christians: I believe in the free market. If your preacher is too afraid to preach it from the pulpit, maybe you should preach it from the street corner. Many are called. Will you answer?

Our spiritual body is out of shape and we need intensive training right now.

Get back to God, and know that some things are true and worth believing in. The good guys do win in the end. Evil does not stand unless good men never rise up. The time is now and we are the people the world is waiting for. We must never stop being the shore that others can come to for shelter and hope.

But to do so we must realign ourselves with truth and rise up and stand. This is the vision. We must preach good tidings to the meek, bind up the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to those held captive. To declare vengeance belongs to God and God alone. We must give unto those who mourn — beauty for ashes and water the trees of righteousness. We shall not perish.

I can’t help that most of us don’t like to hear the truth, but hear it we must: George Washington told us religion and morality are the only stable and lasting basis of individual life and public policy. If we are to survive, they must be part of our public policy rather than driven from it.

It is no longer enough to just be a good person. We must work to be the next Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King. It is noble to strive to be the size of the bronze giant they dedicated this morning in the building behind me. Fredrick Douglas’ time was in the 1800; King’s time has passed. This is our time. This is the next long march toward civil rights and we shall overcome.

Stand without fear, lock arms and stare down the bullies that wish to enslave mankind yet again.

Honor, courage and love are what is required, and they are contagious. Spread the word and proclaim liberty throughout the land.

“Let us, today, raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.”

Tea Party arms today’s youth for the future

(TeaParty.org) On June 1, 2013 a significant history-changing event took place in Pennsylvania and the Teaparty.org is proud to say that they were a major sponsor of this initiative. On this historic day, 162 youngsters came together for the Bedford County Youth Field Day hosted by the Bedford County Sportsmen’s Club.

In a coordinated effort to teach our future generation of leaders how to properly and safely use firearms, youngsters participated in a series of shooting venues. With our Second Amendment rights in jeopardy, being furthered threatened by a tyrannical government, it is essential that we ensure our youth are endowed with the right to bear arms, that their beliefs are firmly rooted in our Constitution, and that they can pick up a firearm and know how to use it should the time come.

During this day-long event, youngsters enthusiastically learned how to shoot various firearms and participated in a variety of outdoor sporting events that also taught them to appreciate the great outdoors, our wildlife and earth’s natural resources.

The Teaparty.org was proud to be a major sponsor of this event which was co-sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, NRA, NAHC, Pennsylvania Fish & Game Commission as well as local sporting goods stores and outdoor related businesses. Steve Eichler, CEO of the Teaparty.org called this youth training event “…a resounding success!”

O.F. Mossberg Firearms Co. donated the .22 rifles while the remainder of the firearms used were supplied by the volunteer instructors and the Pennsylvania Game Commission. World renowned shooter and firearms instructor, John Clites, was the Lead Rifle Instructor and Range Officer.

The youth training day began with registration where youngsters were assigned group numbers and adult group leaders. Afterward, the youngsters proceeded to their assigned venues, which included: .22 rifle shooting,  muzzleloader shooting,  clay target shooting,  archery,  bird box building,  fishing,  trapping,  ATV safety,  boating safety,  RMEF nature class,  fly-tying and a Seneca Run, a nature walk and class.

The event concluded with an evaluation meeting at the clubhouse where youngsters in 3 age groups were awarded $50 gift cards for the best essays detailing what the Youth Field Day meant to them. The overall best essay was awarded a gift certificate for shooting lessons donated by NRA Certified Rifle & Shotgun Instructor and NAHC Mentor of the Year, John Clites.

The 2013 BCYFD was a resounding success thanks to the Teaparty.org, the committee, volunteers, group leaders and the sponsors and most especially, the young people who showed a great desire to learn how to handle and use a firearm properly.

“It is opportunities like these we must seize to demonstrate the value of firearms in a caring and nurturing manner to our younger generations…to instill an appreciation and healthy respect for shooting firearms…and to demonstrate what it means to enjoy our freedoms and liberties.” – Steve Eichler, CEO Teaparty.org

The youngsters that we influence through mentoring today are our next generation of parents, coaches, teachers, politicians, voters and leaders of  tomorrow. It is our responsibility to teach them the imperative of honoring the Constitutional rights granted by our Founding Fathers. We face a government today bent on tyranny.

It is our responsibility to fight their unjust hand and their attempts to steal our guns and wipe away our gun rights as they trample the Constitution. We must teach our future generations the same—stand up for your right to bear arms and if you own a firearm know how to use it…or be prepared to suffer a deadly fate.

FAX BLAST SPECIAL: NO AMNESTY for Illegals!

(The Wall Street Journal) – Several thousand protesters poured onto the West Lawn of the Capitol Wednesday afternoon to join a tea party rally called “Audit the IRS.” The rally featured a host of prominent conservative officials, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Rand Paul (R., Ky.), Reps. Dave Camp (R., Mich.) and Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.), and radio commentator Glenn Beck.

Many of the protesters came from a press conference on immigration on the other side of the Capitol, carrying signs that railed against immigration reform on one side and against the IRS on the other. Among the slogans were “1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual,” “IRS is our KGB,” and “Waterboard the IRS.”

FAX BLAST SPECIAL: Audit The I.R.S

Though the rally’s stated target was the Internal Revenue Service – currently under investigation for having targeted conservative groups applications for tax-exempt status – the speakers touched on many of the controversies that have plagued the Obama administration in the last months. These included recently leaked information about National Security Agency surveillance methods and the administration’s handling of the attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Some also criticized last week’s decision to arm Syrian rebels.

Speakers urged the audience to “take back America” and expressed fear and disgust at the expanded role of government. “Thank you for being concerned about a government that has grown too big,” Mr. Camp said to a large round of applause. Mr. Camp, who is the chairman of the Ways and Means committee and is currently involved in the investigation of the IRS, kept his appearance brief. He promised the audience to “get the facts” and “follow them wherever they lead.”

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R., Texas) told protesters that “a majority of people are saying, ‘We don’t trust the government now,’” and declared it “time for a change.” Though the rally’s title recommended an audit of the IRS, protesters largely called for the agency’s dismantling – or, in the words of Rep. Tom Graves (R., Ga.), “Let’s throw it overboard like a box of British tea.”

Mr. Gohmert also advocated tax reform, to hearty cheers from the crowd, many of whom carried signs urging an end to income taxes or the establishment of a flat tax rate.

Mr. Beck was by far the lengthiest speaker, and judging from the audience’s reaction, the most eagerly anticipated one. He spoke broadly and focused more on his vision of God and of the country than at the issues at hand. He compared the tea party’s struggle against the government’s reach to Martin Luther King Jr.’s championing of civil rights. “I demand to be treated as an equal member of society,” he declared. “I am a man, and I demand to be treated like a man.” Cheers of “I am a man” rang throughout the audience.

Mr. Beck condemned the culture of Washington as dishonest and corrupt. “I actually like Vegas more than this city,” he quipped. “At least Vegas has the decency to admit it’s full of crooks and hookers.”

Protesters – many of whom traveled from around the country to attend the rally – praised the speakers’ enthusiasm and their cause.

Tony Foster, of Port Tobacco, Md., said he fears America is on its way to becoming a dictatorship. “Obama turned the heat up so fast, so high,” he said. “People are starting to realize they’re being cooked.”

Bob Jeckel, of Lincoln, Ill., said money plays too large a role in politics. “Truth has to come back into the way we do things,” he said. “It’s always about the spin.”
