During the healthcare debates, one of the arguments against Obamacare was that it will lead to the rationing of care.  We were told that would never happen.  Now we see the appointment of another radical, Donald Berwick.

Here is a video with Alex Jones talking about the Federal Lawsuit against Arizona’s immigration law.  As we have heard at our last meeting with one of the Arizona Minutemen, the situation on the border is terrible. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKkmiqsZRd8]

Here is a letter from Brian Carson of Janesville to Senators Kohl and Feingold regarding Elena Kagen’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. I listened to Elena Kagan’s opening statement at her confirmation hearing today. I heard a lot of rhetoric from her about family this, and feelings that, and deference to the will of the people. Those are all fine sentiments, but they have very little bearing, in fact, they should have no bearing at all on the operation of the Supreme Court. I heard no reference by Ms. Kagen to abiding by the Constitution. Isn’t that the job of the Supreme Court, to determine if legislation and/or previously adjudicated decisions adhere to the Constitution ? The Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, is the supreme law of the land until it is properly amended, and it is the only thing that is to be upheld by the Supreme Court, or used by them in their decision making process. All other decision or policy making is to be left to the legislature, the States, or to the people. Elena Kagan has argued positions that would have outlawed Thomas Paine’s “common Sense”. In 1996, she apparently tied or equated the NRA to the KKK while debating the Clinton administration’s position…

This is interesting. I’ve heard rumors that there was “funny business” going on at the convention from other TEA Party / Patriot Groups.  Hear the audio of Terrence Wall’s accusations for yourself. Terrence Wall Accuses Ron Johnson Of Corruption And Ballot Tampering

The Rock River Patriots will be having a meeting on Friday June 25th at 6pm at Kendall Packaging in Jefferson.  At this meeting we will hear a firsthand account of the situation on the border by Arizona Minutemen Gary Mienert. Here is a picture of Gary Mienert (on the right) with Sheriff Joe Arpaio (center). Gary Meinert’s Bio: Gary Meinert, a native of Wisconsin, lives four months a year in his log cabin with his wife, Karlyn, on Boulder Lake in Vilas County. The other eight months is spent in Green Valley, AZ which is located almost half way between Tucson and Nogales. Living only 36 miles from the border he has had the unique opportunity to view first hand, what is now called, a major crisis. For five years he has photographed and documented the illegal activities of the Mexican cartels and their drug and human trafficking. To obtain this information he travels the 1100 square miles of the beautiful, but often, inhospitable Sonoran desert, almost always off trails. He serves on the Citizens Advisory Board of the Nogales Border Patrol Station, the largest in the country. He has developed a mutual trust and respect with many officials. Those include…

Here is video from Channel 2 in Atlanta that documents possible terrorists entering the U.S. via our southern border.  This video begs the question:  Why is our military fighting overseas and protecting the borders in other countries when we have our own border to protect?
