Email from Minuteman PAC

Below is posted the full content of an email I just received under the signature of Brett Farley, Executive Director, Minuteman PAC.

I am reminded of a truth explicated in Federalist no. 1:

...and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.

It is too bad indeed that we lack the collective discernment to know a demagogue and budding tyrant when we see one. But that is the reality, and you can rest assured that no collective "awakening" is forthcoming anytime in the near future.

Here is Farley's email:

Fellow Patriots,

I'm mad...I'm steaming mad! We knew it was coming, and we told you about it for weeks before the inauguration. But, knowing the naked truth and actually watching it happen in front of our eyes are two different things. And now, as we predicted, the socialist gravy train is in full steam.

Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid--the three stooges of the left--have unashamedly stacked the decks and dealt the cards in their game to turn our republic into a full-scale European socialist regime.



STOP THE SOCIALIZATION OF AMERICA! HELP MINUTEMAN PAC ALERT AMERICA NOW!


Here's Nancy Pelosi's response on a Sunday morning talk show to a question about nationalizing U.S. banks:

"Well, whatever you want to call it... If we are going to put money into the banks, we certainly want equity for the American people. In other words, if we are strengthening [the banks], then the American people should get some of the upside of that strengthening. Some people call that nationalization."

Yes, Nancy, we call it "nationalization" because that's precisely what it is!

Folks, here's what "nationalization" of U.S. banks really means for you and me...certainly NOT more "equity for the American people." No! What nationalization of the banks really is about is the control of all major financial institutions in America. That means that as majority stockholder is these banks, the federal government gets to decide how the banks will use YOUR MONEY!

Now, this quote was perfect timing. You see, it was revealed simultaneously by fellow patriots-in-arms that part of Nancy Pelosi's "perks" for being Speaker of the House is a private jet. Yes, flying first-class apparently isn't good enough. But wait, that's not the outrageous part....

...Upset that her private Speaker's jet had to stop to refuel enroute to California, she ordered a new 200-seat jet that can fly directly to California with no stops. YES, SHE DID THAT! Guess how much that 200-seat jet costs per week to operate...are you sitting down? EVERY WEEK OF THE YEAR, Pelosi's jet costs you and me--taxpaying American citizens--$120,000!!! That's $480,000 per month!!! Per year? $5.75 MILLION!!!

Yes, all that in the midst of a deep recession verging on a depression...

That's how our "leaders" in Washington are dealing with the economy. Want to know how else they're gonna use our money? Simple. They've already shown us...



STOP PELOSI AND REID FROM CONTROLLING YOUR MONEY! HELP MMPAC FIGHT NOW!


Remember the infamous State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) that passed the House of Representatives with flying colors just days ago? Well, just as we warned and despite vehement objection, Senate Democrats slid the bill onto the floor and to a quick vote.

YEP! SCHIP is now on the president's desk and waiting for his signature! AND BELIEVE ME, HE WILL SIGN IT!

If you recall, SCHIP is the despicable legislation that will force the states to offer free health care to ALL children in the United States, regardless of their parents' income AND regardless of their citizenship. Yes, children of illegal aliens will now get FREE health care...no questions asked.

AND YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT!!!

But, that's just the beginning...



HELP MINUTEMAN PAC STOP FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS! JOIN THE EFFORT NOW!


By now you've certainly caught wind of the massive $900 billion "stimulus package" that Obama has promised and that has just passed the House of Representatives. Yes, this so-called stimulus is now in the Senate and may likely pass and be sent to the president's desk as well.

But, here's the question: why does this hallmark, record-breaking, first in our history, "stimulus package" include tax rebates for illegal aliens? Yes...IN FACT IT DOES! Never mind that the vast majority of the tax rebates are going to folks who don't pay taxes...a very large chunk of those rebates are going to illegal aliens who don't even have a legitimate social security number!

So, we're left to wonder--after illegal aliens take their free money back across the border--what exactly are we stimulating here? And with all that free money--YOUR MONEY--going out the door, what do you suppose is going to stop more illegal aliens from coming over the border to get their checks too? That's right! NOTHING!

That's why it shouldn't come as a surprise at all when we learned that Obama's illegal-alien aunt was somehow granted exemption from deportation.



SHOULD ILLEGAL ALIENS GET TAX REBATES? HELP US STOP FREE MONEY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS!


I could stop here...I'm already mad enough. But, we've pledged to keep you, our fellow patriots, informed. And there is much more afoot in the nation's capitol than even we expected.

Perhaps you've followed the proposed "Card Check" legislation. If not, here's the gist...

Liberals in Congress have proposed a nicely-worded bill called the Employee Free Choice Act (Card Check). Sounds like a good idea, right? Employees having the freedom to choose? Surely it's a no-brainer. WRONG!

We shouldn't be shocked at all to find that liberals in Congress have given a name to a bill that describes exactly the opposite of what it really does!

In a nutshell, "Card Check" allows union bosses to force employees of businesses to join the union--even if they don't want to. That's fundamentally un-American!

We all know that liberals in Congress are in the pockets of Big Labor union bosses who pour hundreds of millions of dollars into elections and special interest lobbying in Washington!

So, if and when "Card Check" is secretly forced through Congress and signed by President Obama...what's the first thing you suppose Big Labor will do? Yep, they're gonna target all those illegal aliens in the country and force them to sign up for the unions!!!

With all the free money, union jobs, and no threat of deportation, who do you suppose illegal aliens will be voting for in 2010? Right again! The liberals who gave them the free money and free jobs! AND ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT!



DON'T LET THE UNIONS RECRUIT ILLEGAL ALIENS! HELP MMPAC STOP "CARD CHECK"!


Now you can see why I'm so steaming mad. In the course of just two weeks, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid have shoved through the Congress the largest shift toward Socialism in the history of our Republic!!! And with 4 years of this, they've only just begun!

But Minuteman PAC will not stop fighting! We continue to lobby in Washington to reveal to patriot Congressmen the life-threatening details in these bills and how they promise to kill the Republic. WE WILL NOT STOP PRESSING FORWARD!

In addition, we are already gathering forces and identifying our key leaders for the 2010 election. Dozens of patriot-leaders are already stepping forward to answer the call. WE WILL HELP ARM THEM AND SEND THEM TO CONGRESS! And we're preparing now to defend at all cost those patriots, like Duncan Hunter, already in Congress...fighting the fight and standing strong against the creep of socialism.

Last, we are stepping up our voter education efforts. Americans MUST know what our government is doing to us and to our country. Educating and activating voters is an expensive prospect, but somebody has to do the heavy lifting.



HELP MINUTEMAN PAC RAMP UP AND REARM FOR 2010! WE MUST RETAKE GROUND!


One final reminder as well. We hinted at it in previous updates. A MAJOR candidate announcement is coming soon, which the Minuteman PAC will be heavily involved in. I can't let the cat out of the bag just yet. But, soon. And when we do, it will shake the rafters. We'll need ALL the help we can get when the time comes. Stand by and be ready...

For the republic,

Brett Farley
