Rep. Allen West - Tells Obama to Get The Hell out the USA

A civil right, or a political question

One the biggest issues facing the justices is whether they can -- or should -- issue a ruling that will effectively broaden the legal definition of marriage, long restricted to heterosexual couples. Backers of DOMA and Proposition 8 say it should be up to the public to make that decision, not the courts.

"Our most fundamental right in this country is the right to vote and the right to participate in the political process, " said Austin Nimocks of the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian advocacy group.

"We don't need the Supreme Court to take that right away from Americans of good faith on both sides of this issue and impose its judicial solution," Nimocks told CNN's State of the Union. "We need to leave this debate to the democratic process, which is working."

But California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who is arguing against Proposition 8, said voter-approved marriage bans "are simply unconstitutional." The Supreme Court has ruled more than a dozen times that marriage is a fundamental right, "and as it relates to a fundamental right, the court will hold that under the highest level of scrutiny."

"It is one thing to read the polls, which we have discussed, which show again that a majority of Americans are in favor of same-sex marriage," Harris said. "But it is more important to read the Constitution."

Senate Shows Obama, to back away from the GUN!

The Senate on Wednesday rejected a bipartisan amendment that would have expanded background checks on gun purchases, a blow to advocates calling for more strict firearm laws after the mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., late last year.

The measure, the product of intense negotiations between Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey and West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, would have extended background check requirements on gun owners. It needed 60 votes to pass, but failed 54-46.

Democrats voting against the amendment were Mark Begich of Alaska, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Max Baucus of Montana. (Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada switched his vote to no at the end, a procedural tactic that allows him to bring it up for a vote later.) In addition to Toomey, Republicans who supported the amendment were Sens. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Susan Collins of Maine and John McCain of Arizona.

Scores of onlookers filled the Senate gallery to watch the vote. When Vice President Joseph Biden read the final tally and announced the amendment had not passed, Patricia Maisch, who helped disarm the man who shot former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, yelled, "Shame on you!" before walking out of the chamber.

Obama even sends out some elbows in the direction of the republican Senators who stood up and defend our freedom!

RAND PAUL: I will do everything in my power to stop "King Obama"

To show Americans who are ignorant to the truth, why we need to tame our ever expanding government before we become their next target. This letter was sent to me from Senator Rand Paul, verifying with me that he will do everything in his power to stand up against King Obama, and his rampant attack on our Constitution.

This is not a joke... Wake up America!

Dear greg,

The gun grabbers in Washington have launched an all-out assault on our right to keep and bear arms - and they're hell-bent on destroying the Second Amendment.

And to add insult to injury, Barack Obama is preparing to use Executive Orders to RAM through whatever the gun grabbers can't get through Congress.

Well, America doesn't have - nor need - a King.

And as I told Sean Hannity last night, I'm prepared to do everything in my power to stand up to "King Obama" and stop his all-out assault on the Second Amendment.

Despite his "King Complex," President Obama doesn't have the Constitutional authority to write legislation.

And next week I plan on introducing the "Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act" - designed to nullify any anti-gun Executive Order issued by Barack Obama.

Unfortunately, this arrogance is nothing new when it comes to Barack Obama.

When Congress failed to ram through the radical environmentalists' cherished "Cap-and-Tax" scheme, Barack Obama attempted to use regulatory fiat to implement it.

From invading Libya without the approval of Congress to the so-called "Dream Act," President Obama has a history of abusing his Executive powers to do whatever he chooses.

Our Founders fought a revolution to STOP this kind of madness.

And if you value your God-given right to keep and bear arms, it's absolutely critical you fight back by signing your Second Amendment Protection Pledge IMMEDIATELY.

greg, America isn't supposed to have an imperial President.

And the Founders created a government based on separation of powers to prevent the President from ever becoming a king.

As Montesquieu said, "there can be no liberty when you combine the executive and legislative powers."

But Barack Obama disagrees - and he's garnered so much power and arrogance he believes he can do whatever he wants.

You and I must stop him.

So please sign your Second Amendment Protection Pledge IMMEDIATELY.

And if you've already signed your Second Amendment Protection Pledge, I hope you'll agree to make a generous contribution to help RandPAC fight back.

Your generous contribution will help RandPAC mobilize millions of pro-gun Americans to turn up the heat on Congress to stop any gun bans - whether through legislation or executive fiat.

But the gun grabbers are wasting no time in their all-out war to destroy the Second Amendment.

So time is running short to mobilize an army of grassroots Americans to send a loud-and-clear message to Congress:

"Vote for gun control - and find a new job."

So please sign your Second Amendment Protection Pledge IMMEDIATELY, and make the most generous contribution you can possibly afford.

Together, you and I will stop the assault on our Second Amendment freedoms.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. Barack Obama is preparing to use regulatory fiat to RAM through whatever the gun grabbers can't get through Congress.

Our Founders fought a revolution to STOP this kind of madness.

So if you value your God-given right to keep and bear arms, it's absolutely critical you fight back by signing your Second Amendment Protection Pledge IMMEDIATELY.

Sen. Paul speaks on waste in Sandy emergency funding

Rand Paul is fighting for the American People, and this video shows proof of this!

Support Smart Emergency Spending
The Hurricane Sandy Emergency Funding package is a three-year spending bill packed with hundreds of millions of dollars of unrelated pork earmarked for everything but hurricane relief.

There is no evidence Congress is good at spending your money.

So the last thing we should do is hand over three years' worth of spending authority disguised as Hurricane Sandy relief.

Why don't we authorize one year at a time with functional oversight and make sure the relief money is not being wasted or abused?

Why don't we offset the costs of the relief package with spending cuts to prevent adding another $60 billion to our national debt?

I have proposed offsetting hurricane relief costs by ending $9 billion worth of foreign aid that ends up in the private accounts of dictators who oppress their own people and burn our flag.

My amendment to the hurricane relief package would've required Congress offset the relief costs with spending cuts one year at a time.

The problem is that so-called conservatives in the Senate refuse to stand up for what's right and voted against fiscal responsibility.

They continue to put their own wants before the needs of this great nation.

Despite the defeat of my amendment, I vow to keep fighting this battle because America's future is worth fighting for.

We will never climb out from under our crippling $16 trillion debt with abusive spending like this.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. Congress is planning to spend another $60 billion on pet projects disguised as Hurricane Sandy relief spending.

And so-called conservatives refused my proposal to offset the hurricane relief costs with spending cuts, especially money we can save by refusing to enrich foreign dictators.


But I vow to continue this fight and hope that you will join me.


Please make a generous contribution to help RandPAC fight abusive government spending.

PRESIDENT PAUL, Simply screwed of the republican convention.

Rand Paul Rips Romney for Saying He Could Fight Iran Without Congress

JUN 20 2012, 10:45 AM ET 62
Though he has endorsed the presumptive GOP nominee, the senator took to National Review Online to assert Congress's role in declaring war.


After Senator Rand Paul endorsed Mitt Romney, he got grief from a lot of his libertarian supporters, especially after the GOP nominee stated that the president can wage war on Iran without Congressional approval. Anyone wondering how Sen. Paul would react, as I've been doing, need wait no longer. In a piece published Tuesday afternoon at National Review Online, he reiterated his dissatisfaction with President Obama's domestic agenda, and then proceeded to write:

... I must oppose the most recent statements made by Mitt Romney in which he says he, as president, could take us to war unilaterally with Iran, without any approval from Congress.

This is a misreading of the role of the president and Congress in declaring war. The Constitution clearly states that it is Congress that has the power to declare war, not the president. The War Powers Act also clearly states that U.S. forces are to engage in hostilities only if the circumstances are "pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

Absent these criteria, the president has no authority to declare war. Even if the president believes he has such authority, the War Powers Act goes on to require the president to seek congressional approval within 60 days of conflict. No president is above the law or above the Constitution.
Paul criticized the Obama Administration's foreign policy too:

President Obama was elected on a platform of ending wars, yet he has opposed every effort made by me and others in the Senate to do that. He opposed my resolution to end the Iraq War. He has refused my urgings to end the war in Afghanistan more quickly. He started another war in Libya, and this time went further into unconstitutional territory than previous presidents by not even seeking Congressional approval whatsoever. I opposed him when he did that. Anyone who believes President Obama is less aggressive internationally than his predecessors is mistaken. I do not yet know if I will find a Romney presidency more acceptable on foreign policy.

As interesting as the piece itself is its venue, National Review Online's group blog, The Corner, which isn't generally friendly to non-interventionists. The comments beneath the post were as heated as you'd expect.

Dear Rand Paul, WTF were you thinking?

Dear Rand Paul,

Your Dad knows he can still win the nomination, right? We have spent the last Seven months getting elected as delegates all over this country to win at the Convention... That has been the plan this entire time. What changed?? They told you both something!! Well regardless of what you, your dad, or the biased mainstream media tells us, rest assured we will Nominate your father at the convention!

If you think your cute, because you may get the VP spot along the campaign, you better look over the man you'll be standing next to, and what he represents. Greed, Money, and Banker Buddy Bail-outs. Now ask yourself if you can side with him on any of his platform topics? The Answer is NO! Do not committ political suicide, if you haven't already. You're Father has earned your endorsement by raising you and being your idol still to this day, not Mitt!

Rand this is probably the worst decision you will ever make in your entire life. You have endorsed the most flip-flopping Presidential Candidate Americans have ever seen. He wrote Obama-care, and now wants to get rid of it? How can you stand behind him even for a moment, without him trying to play you for a fool.... YOU CAN'T!

I know the globalists have done everything possible to keep your dad out of the oval office, and you're okay with that?? Stand up for the cause you two have begun, or we'll finish it by adding you both to the list of puppets. This country is sickening, I got cheated out of the mayor's seat here in Stockton, CA. But I will continue to get by any and all of the walls standing in my way! Not by changing direction, but by overcoming them either by hurdling, or breaking them down! You have no sympathy for US Citizens, because you are now running with the devil! Not the thing to do, being christian and all, please rescind your endorsement, and put it towards your father's movement, because it is now too big to be stopped.

Best wishes,
Greg Pitsch (oh zee)
Leader of the "Free World"

SEN. RAND PAUL DID NOT ENDORSE MITT ROMNEY!

FOR SOME ODD REASON, WHILE READING THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING... THIS IS THE BIGGEST HOAX SO FAR IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE. FIRST OF ALL, RAND PAUL WOULD NEVER ENDORSE MITT ROMNEY, BECAUSE HIS FATHER IS STILL IN THE RACE. SECONDLY, HE ISN'T EVEN A REPUBLICAN, HE BELONGS TO THE "TEA PARTY." HOW MUCH MORE OBVIOUS CAN IT GET? THEY ARE LYING TO YOU EVERY CHANCE THEY GET!!

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday night, but he made clear he'd prefer someone else.

"My first choice had always been my father. I campaigned for him when I was 11-years-old. He's still my first pick," the tea party favorite told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "But now that the nominating process is over, tonight I'm happy to announce that I'm going to be supporting Gov. Mitt Romney."

Paul's father, Texas congressman Ron Paul, suspended his active campaign operation last month, but is still pursuing delegates so he can have an influence at the GOP nominating convention in August.

Paul noted in the Fox interview that Romney's father, George, also fell short in a presidential bid in 1968.

Romney said in a statement on his campaign website that he was "honored" by the endorsement and called Rand Paul "a leading voice in the effort to scale back the size and reach of government and promote liberty."

RAND PAUL: GOP NEEDS RON PAUL SUPPORTERS TO GROW

RAND PAUL: GOP NEEDS RON PAUL SUPPORTERS TO GROW
Reports The Des Moines Register:

Sen. Rand Paul, in Des Moines today, said if the Republican Party wants to grow, it needs to include supporters of his father who bring different views on certain issues.

“People talk about it being a big tent – having a big tent means bringing in the Ron Paul people. And if you do, your party will grow,” he said…

Drew Ivers, a Ron Paul campaign official in Iowa, called the changes “growing pains” that are offset by the benefits of growing the party. He said people new to politics can be “zealous” and don’t always understand customary procedures, but they will learn with experience.

Paul spoke at an event sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, a super-PAC that opposes President Obama’s green energy agenda…

Sen. Paul is right. The Ron Paul people are not only growing the GOP–they’re transforming it.
