Bring It On

AFF Sentinel Vol.7#10
It's time for a roundup of issues we're monitoring for near-term activity. For those who might have hoped the administration's close shave on health care might have convinced them to look for easier issues or to tone down the rhetoric a bit, the opposite has happened.

Perhaps most illustrative of the leadership's attitude was President Obama's taunting of those health care bill opponents who dared to talk of repeal and reform of Healthenstein. Sounding like an arrogant, swaggering neighborhood punk on a Chicago playground basketball court, Obama's sneering taunt was "bring it on!"

Border Security First, Immigration Reform Later

Arizona cattlemen are hoping that the tragic death of one of their own may finally be the catalyst to get action from government officials after years of border struggle.

The Arizona Cattle Growers Association (ACGA) organization has quickly raised money for a reward, met with state and national officials and aided the Krentz family in a time of need.

On March 27th, rancher Rob Krentz was shot and killed by a suspected illegal alien, who then made for the Mexican border. Ranchers along the border and for many miles inland have dealt with trespassing, repeated burglaries and illegals kicking in doors and invading homes and terrorizing families. But Krentz's death has galvanized the border communities like nothing before.

The Sting

AFF Sentinel Vol.7#8
Paul Newman and Robert Redford did only two movies together: "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Sting." Both were classics but the memory of "The Sting" has really spoken to me the last couple days as events unfold in Washington.

For those who didn't see or can't recall the movie, Redford and Newman were con men who set up a phony bookmaking operation in the 1930s. The "mark," a Chicago-style tough guy who liked the ponies, was carefully "allowed" into the private betting parlor, set up with "inside" information a few times to make sure his horses won and cheerfully paid his bets, proving the operation was worthy of his "confidence." I won't give away all the plot - it's a movie well worth renting - but rest assured when the tough guy finally begged to put down a gargantuan bet - which the parlor very "reluctantly" accepted - the tough guy found out the parlor he trusted couldn't be. His horse didn't come in, the payoff window was closed and his money was gone forever.

House E-mail, Phone Calls Termed "Very, Very, Very important,' By Rep. John Campbell

After over a year of voter opposition at townhalls, rallies, Tea Parties, in polls and communications to Congress, the final fate of Healthenstein rests in the hands of voters this week.

This is the final push, the chance to make an unprecedented year of astonishingly successful protest beat the health care monster Healthenstein. Below, we'll give you some tools to make it easy.

If you are at all interested in animal agriculture, consider what this bill could do. It would put control over the entire health care system and much of the nutrition and health systems and recommendations apparatus in the hands of government, giving the anti- animal products activists in federal bureaucracies and the health & nutrition community the authority to make recommendations, set standards, set rates and re- imbursement policies carrying the force of regulation- backed law.

AFF Sentinel Vol.7#6
While Obamas Healthenstein twitches and jerks, refusing to die, other monsters in Washington grow while everyones attention is diverted.

In late January, Sen. Lisa Murkowski and 39 other senators from both parties introduced a Senate resolution disapproving the EPAs proposed rule finding greenhouse gases a danger to human health, requiring sweeping new EPA regulation of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases. Little publicity has been garnered by their S. J. Resolution 26. Few but green websites took note.
