I AM PAUL WILSON

This is very funny and growingly appropriate. I love it, I want a hundred of those stickers.

On Tuesday, June 28, 2011, "The Hill," Washington, DC, political newspaper, requested an op-ed piece from ALIPAC for their publication in response to our national press release calling for the impeachment of President Barack Obama. We provided the following piece per their request and even edited it once per their request. We then received the following message from The Hill….
"Sorry, but we’re going to have to pass on this piece. Its tone is
inappropriate for the Congress Blog." — Jake Interrante, thehill.com
Below you can read the entire piece that has been banned by The Hill. We have instructed The Hill that we plan to release this document and that we will no longer conduct interviews with their reporters should they call as they have many times in the past.
We encourage concerned Americans to share this op-ed piece with others and to send copies to Congress so they may read it despite the ban of this article.

Calling for the Impeachment of President Barack Obama
June 28, 2011
by William Gheen
President of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC
www.alipac.us
Today our national organization Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) has taken the difficult step of publicly calling on Congress to impeach or use any means at their disposal to stop President Obama and remove him from the Executive Branch of the US Government as soon as possible…
We are calling on Americans of every race, political party, and walk of life to unite behind this call for the impeachment of President Obama. All Americans who believe in the US Constitution, laws of Congress, and self-governance of Americans through elections should stand up against the recent authoritarian and unjust actions of President Obama.
Congressional investigations have revealed that the Executive Branch of our government has been arming the drug cartel groups that are bringing in most of the addictive drugs and illegal aliens into America. Via Obama’s Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), thousands of assault rifles have been delivered to the smugglers, while Obama’s administration has claimed American gun rights should be abridged to stop American arms falling into the same hands to which the ATF helped deliver them!
This scandal is called Operation Gunrunner, Gun Walker, or Fast and Furious. ATF agents on the ground in Arizona were ordered by higher ups in the Obama administration to abandon surveillance of suspicious gun purchases for months, which allowed as many as 2,000 assault and Barrett .50 caliber rifles to go into the hands of the drug and illegal-alien-importing cartels that have killed millions of Americans with their addictive cargo. These cartels have used guns obtained under Operation Fast and Furious in their murders of tens of thousands of Mexican citizens.
Congressional hearings confirm that our American border patrol agents, police officers, and citizens now face assault rifles in the hands of murderous mobsters provided by the Obama administration.
Supposedly, the practice of letting assault rifles freely walk into Mexico ended when US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered with two of these guns, but how many thousands of Mexican and American citizens have also been killed with these guns provided to the smugglers by Obama’s regime? These guns keep showing up at murder scenes in Mexico.
ALIPAC has a complete collection of articles related to this scandal online for your review at…
http://www.alipac.us/ftopic-230424-days0-orderasc-0.html
And, as if Obama’s treason against the US Constitution, existing federal laws, Congress, and American public could not be clearer, Obama’s ICE Director John Morton issued a memo on June 17th to all ICE Field Office Directors, Special Agents-in-Charge, and all Chief Counsel, authorizing them to decline to remove illegal aliens who meet the qualifications for Amnesty under the DREAM Act Amnesty, which Congress has rejected many times.
While not as formal as an Executive Order, Obama has ordered Amnesty for illegal aliens which has not been ratified by Congress.
In fact, the American public and Congress have defeated both Comprehensive and Dream Act Amnesty eight times in the last six years!
Certified polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports and others show that American citizens reject these amnesties by a margin of at least two to one!
Even if you are of the minority opinion that illegal aliens should receive some form of Amnesty for their crimes against America, surely my fellow Americans would not support authoritarian decrees issued by a US President acting like a king.
It was wrong when Bush did it and it is wrong when Obama does it.
This is America. Our citizens are supposed to be in control of our nation. That is clearly not the case when the Executive Branch provides guns to invading armies of smugglers and decrees Amnesty for illegal aliens without congressional or public approval.
Congress must act, and act swiftly and decisively. Obama has proven that he is unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief of the United States. If Congress does not take action to stop these abuses of power, the invasion of America, and the murder of US Citizens with the help of our own President, then we must take to the streets to demand action.
For years we have been asking people to speak out, to vote, to call and write Congress, and to support candidates. Today we have learned that all of these civic actions are to no avail and that Americans are trapped in an authoritarian nation where elections, our Congress, the Constitution, and existing federal laws mean naught to presidents acting more as kings than executors of the laws of our citizens.
This is our nation, paid for with the lives, blood, sweat, and taxes of our forebears, and together we must unify behind the rules and principles that once made America the greatest nation on earth.
Our government must respond to American citizens on these demands or we must make plans to alter or abolish it and its despicable debts. Congress must impeach, charge, or use any means at its disposal to correct the wrongful actions of President Barack Obama.

I don’t know who wrote this. It does need to be posted every where.

FORGET THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE – HOW ABOUT ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT OBAMA EVER EXISTED BETWEEN CHILDHOOD AND CHICAGO –
OK… this is past the ‘birthers’ questions…. this is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either side. It’s just common knowledge that citizens of a country, especially American citizens, know tidbits about their presidents’ past.  Some even know that Andrew Jackson’s wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery. History buffs know that Lincoln never went to school, that Kennedy wore a back brace and Truman played the piano.
Good grief… we are Americans! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our ‘fellow man’. We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president. It’s niggled at me for ages that no one who ever dated him has ever showed up. his charisma during his campaign caused the women to be drawn to him. So obviously, it looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity before he met Michelle….

We all know about JFK’s magnetism. McCain was no monk. Palin’s courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden’s aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton… we all know about their heart problems and certainly speaking of the opposite sex, how could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?

But not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy…" or "What a great dancer!!" Now look at the rest of this… no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him….
…. I just dunno about this fellow.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen.
Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony. Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging tha t they knew him or taught him or lived with him.
When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos there? Every president gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library, etc. What has he released? And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010????
Does this make you wonder?
Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from President Obama’s past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ??  Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
VERY, VERY STRANGE…
This should really be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man. Did you see a movie called The Manchurian Candidate?…..
Let’s face it. As insignificant as we all are… someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face … someone remembers we were the clown, the dork, the brain, the quiet one or the bully… or something about us.
George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus.
Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia — the class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.
While he is such a great orator, why doesn’t anyone in Obama’s college class remember him? And, why won’t he allow Columbia to release his records?
NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA
Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don’t know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don’t have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia … EVER!”
Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of ’83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don’t get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don’t know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who’s kind of the, as we say in New York, ‘the macha’ who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."
Obama’s photograph does not appear in the school’s yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia ..
NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.
Some other interesting questions:
Why was Obama’s law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle’s law license inactivated by Court Order?
It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases. WHAT!! ??? The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed!
Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school… before he "reorganized" Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention & made us all swoon with his charm, poise & speaking pizzazz.

Found this at Patriot Update

Very disturbing to me, from World Net Daily

If any of this grows legs, we could see the end of the Obama regime sooner than anyone expected.

Is the U.S. Selective Service System now blocking access to President Barack Obama’s online registration records?

Members of the public searching the federal database for the commander in chief’s registration are suddenly finding new difficulty, possibly due to the startling revelation of Obama’s alleged use of a Connecticut-based Social Security Number.

The Selective Service System, or SSS, collects names of Americans for use by the Department of Defense in the event of a national emergency. On its website, it says it provides the nation "with a structure and a system of guidelines which will provide the most prompt, efficient, and equitable draft possible, if the country should need it."

Regarding President Obama, "He is registered. There is no doubt in our minds that he has, and we’re quite prepared to say so," SSS public-affairs specialist Dan Amon told WND.

And then this.

This information from Occidental College was released TODAY, May 4, 2010.  I checked with Snopes and it IS true.  He got financial aid as a foreign student.  The request for his transcript was released in compliance with an order from the Superior Court of the State of California.
VERY QUIETLY OBAMA’S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES THE SUPREME COURT
                         AP – WASHINGTON D.C. –
In a move certain to fuel  the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group  "Americans for Freedom of Information" has Released copies of President Obama’s college  transcripts from Occidental College . Released today, the transcript  school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign  student from Indonesia as an undergraduate. The transcript was  released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for  foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student  must claim foreign citizenship.
This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as President article titled, "Obama Eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official visit to the U.K. In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups,  Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as president.

Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study  estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past  year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to  block  disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U..S. Attorney general, Eric Holder.  Mr. Holder has refused to comment on  the matter…
LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS, THE MEDIA WON’T !
Subject: RE: Issue of Passport?
While I’ve little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so  yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question: What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi ?
So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later?
And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi , what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?
The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama’s citizenship a rather short and simple one.
Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A : Yes, by his own admission.
Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities.
1) He traveled with a U.S. .. Passport,
2) He traveled with a  British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the  U.S. .. State Department’s "no travel" list  in 1981.
Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an  Indonesian passport.
If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he  relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.
Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008..
Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.
If you Don’t care that Your President is not a  natural born Citizen and in Violation of the Constitution, then Delete  this, and then lower your American Flag to half-staff, because the U.S. Constitution is already on life-support, and won’t survive much longer.
If you do care then Forward this to as many patriotic Americans as you can, because our country is being looted and ransacked!

So ObamaCrap has passed and been signed into law for now. We will see how long it lasts. Constitutional Law will come into the picture from the sidelines. I am sure it will come before the SCOTUS, I am not confident of the outcome. We may end up having to take up arms again. What ever it takes to save our Country must, must be done.

The government has degenerated into a system whereby one man is forced to pay another’s bills. No where can I find anything in The Constitution that mandates that Americans must buy anything. The car insurance argument does not fly since you don’t have to own or drive a car.

Such a system, first, is immoral, because it confiscates property by force and denigrates our God-given rights of life and liberty; and, second, is a system that does not work because it corrupts our natural desire to better our condition.

We should call this system by its correct name, Fascism , and condemn it because it inevitably leads to poverty, war, and destruction, and condemn it for us in particular because it is contrary to the hopes, aspirations, and compacts of our Declaration of Independence, Our Bill of Rights and Our Constitution.

In my opinion there are many reasons that the health care law violates our Constitution. One of these is that it controls the labor of physicians, nurses and other practitioners, who rank among our most dedicated citizens, for the benefit of others, controlling the pay they may receive and the treatments and medications they may provide.

I pray for our Country, Paul

So I watched the entire so-called health-care summit yesterday. It was laid out and designed to embarrass and put down Republicans. But the Republicans surprised me they came well prepared they were, courteous and got their points across. and Obama turned out looking like a complete fool.  
When one of the Republicans was talking the Democrats sat there looking down or staring off into space. They refused to look at the person who was talking.
Obama true to his Marxist upbringing interrupted or cut off every Republican that was speaking he would then blather on for 15 minutes about whatever usually not answering any issues the Republicans raised and then call on a Democrat to talk. He accused Republicans of using props, bringing props to the summit. The props he was referring to was the 2700 page health-care bill of his.
I was really hoping to see one of the Republicans pick up that bill throw it in the nearest trash can and then all of the Republicans get up say this is useless and walk out of the room. But that is just me, I guess that would not be good politics. I cannot see anything good coming out of this summit, I take that back the Republicans showed that they have the balls a couple of them showed that they have big brass balls and I give them a plus on that regard.
We will see where it goes from here. Will the Democrats decide to commit political suicide and push this thing through with out the help of any Republicans? I doubt that Pelosi has the votes in the House and they have to pass the Senate bill in the House before it can go any further. Pelosi, Reid and Obama are just crazy enough tone deaf enough to try that. They seem to have no clue as to what the American people really want they seem to be of the mindset that this is what you need were going to do it for your own good no matter what you say. Well, I say Screw You. I think an overwhelming number of people are going to say the same thing in November at the polls, at least I hope so.
