Texas Governor campaigns on border security
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 5/Oct/2010 01:08
“During a recent campaign visit to Austin, TX, Texas Governor Rick Perry met President Obama on the tarmac. He requested a few minutes of Obama’s time to discuss border issues.
Obama patted Perry’s shoulder three times and did not accept the letter. An Obama Aid eventually took the letter. The actual meeting lasted about two minutes.
At the time, although there was not much press coverage, Governor was indignant that President Obama would have time to do a campaign job, but was not ready to discuss border issues.
“Texas has spent 230 million dollars for border law enforcement, technology, and aircraft.”
In 2005, Gov. Perry announced a comprehensive border security plan for Texas and awarded $6 million in grants to support Operation Linebacker, an initiative developed by the 16-member Texas Border Sheriff’s Association to deter illegal immigration and prevent border-related crime.
In 2007, Gov. Perry signed legislation to provide $110 million in state funds to amplify border security efforts in 2007, and in 2009 he signed legislation providing an additional $116 million.
“So Texas Rangers, SWAT teams, and military forces can rapidly respond to violence along our border.”
“Until Washington gets serious, Texas will fight to make our border safe.”
The Second Amendement Get Its Due
From Reason Magazine’s October issue:
The invalidation of handgun bans throughout the country, accomplished in the space of two years, was sudden and surprising even to those who have spent decades laying the groundwork. Take Alan Gottlieb, founder and president of the Second Amendment Foundation, which began backing Gura’s various gun lawsuits after Heller. Since founding the SAF in 1974, Gottlieb has been hosting academic conferences, supporting legal scholars and historians, and filing carefully targeted lawsuits in defense of gun rights. Still, he says, “six years ago if you had said [the gun rights community would] see two cases get to the Supreme Court and two victories, I would have said, ‘Not in my lifetime. Maybe in someone else’s.’ â€
This demonstrates that liberty will remain as long as there are paladins who will defend it.

Nearly 5,000 residents of DehDadi, Afghanistan, once again have running water available in their homes this week thanks to the combined efforts of the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division, Regional Support Command-North, and the Region Command-North Public Affairs Advisory Team. Community members came out to personally thank the service members who worked to facilitate the repairs during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the water well house Aug. 21. The community had been without water for five weeks, leaving local women and children to walk great distances to obtain water from other sources. The community had tried to raise money from residents, but were not able to collect enough to fix the water pump, plumbing, and minor repairs. Photo by Tech. Sgt. Casey Martin

Victims of illegal alien crime: Deputy Frank Fabiano, Jr. shot to death
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 3/Oct/2010 23:19
“A decorated Kenosha County Sheriff’s Deputy was shot to death during a routine traffic stop by an illegal alien with four prior arrests in four different states.
Local law enforcement is “doing the job the federal government just won’t do†by being the first line of defense against illegal alien crime in America. Unfortunately, these brave officers are often the casualties of the violent, unidentified foreign nationals residing in American communities across the United States.”

Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said the couple, believed to be from McAllen, Texas, had crossed to the Mexican side when they came under a spray of bullets by two boatloads of men. The man, 30, was shot in the head and his wife said she fears he is dead.
According to unconfirmed reports, the woman circled back to get her husband but the gunmen continued shooting, even after she crossed back to the U.S. side. They saw them approaching and started revving it up back to the U.S. side,†Gonzalez said. “The guys just started shooting at them from behind.â€
