JULY 4, 1776 – JULY 4, 2013

  http://www.history.com/videos/fourth-of-july-history#fourth-of-july-history  

On this day in 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence.  Each year on the Fourth of July, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by military personnel in defense of this nation. Since 1775, one year before adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the US Marine Corps had been defending our freedoms; we acknowledge so with the attachment. On this Fourth of July, America’s 237th birthday, we hold dear those unalienable rights-----life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, the right to bear arms, and religious freedom extended to every American citizen by the framers of the Declaration of…

 One of the 20 elected Combat Veterans For Congress attacks Obama continuing attempt to move the Republic from the “Liberty” our Founding Fathers gave  American citizens with the US Constitution and Obama’s 45 appointed Czars who are bypassing Congress to move the Republic toward “ Tyranny,” by issuing thousands of regulations that violate the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, that attack our freedom of religion including the cancelation of the National Day of Prayer, have been destroying the Combat Effectiveness of the US Armed Forces, are perpetrating voter fraud, continue to fail to support the voting rights for Combat Forces in the field, have been employing the IRS to restrict the voting rights of US citizens, proposed a new Immigration Bill that wipes out the criminal records of 400,000 Illegal aliens with felony warrants issued for serious criminal offenses so they can be…

 Responsible legislation is required to correct the broken Immigration system and deal with the presence of over 18+ million Illegal Immigrants residing in the United States, but the legislation should be enacted step by step, in a predictable easy to understand manner.  The $38 billion comprehensive 1200 page Senate Amnesty Bill being proposed is not an immigration reform measure at all, it is an “Amnesty First” bill, providing for amnesty in the form of legal status as Registered Provisional Immigrants (RPIs), and national security of the Republic is being seriously shredded.  No one has even read it and the irresponsible Senators are ready to pass it tomorrow; where have we heard this before----“It must be passed to see what is in it?”  This defective Amnesty Bill being proposed, “does not close the border at all”, is being proposed by the gang of 8, led by Senator Chuck Schumer,…

 Once each year, we make an annual request for support, in order to continue our effort to recruit, complete a background investigation on, endorse, campaign for, and help elect Combat Veterans For Congress. We are unlike any other PAC, in that we have no paid employees; members of the Board of Directors receive no compensation, and I provide financial support for operations each year.   All funds donated are used to cover expenses and make donations to candidates.  Our Washington, DC law firm has protected us from unauthorized FEC fines, included us in a case before the Supreme Court to protect our 1stAmendment Rights, and assisted us for 2 years in our application with the IRS for tax-exempt status for the CVTG.  Other annual expenditures include retention of our Washington law firm, the cost of an FEC Consultant to make the required Quarterly FEC Reports, expenses associated with…

 A few years can make a great deal of difference in the type of competent and honest leadership that the occupant of the Oval Office displays to the world.  If you click on the below listed link, you will be able to view and listen to one of the Republic’s great Presidents.  President Reagan’s belief system mirrors those of President George Washington; imagine President Reagan on his knees in prayer and General Washington on his knees in prayer at Valley Forge.   The video is wholly appropriate for this Sunday morning. This is a rather short video that all Americans should watch, appreciate, and fully understand the meaning of.  All those in the bloated out of control government bureaucracy should be forced to watch it several times, or until they get it!  If you don’t normally forward information via E-mail, please consider making this an exception and pass it along to those in your…

 This is the 4th in a series of articles in defense of the US Constitution.  The previous three articles can be viewed on the Home page of our Web site.  The below listed link is a video of President Ronald Reagan commenting on why the US Constitution is unique.  Please share it with those in your address book who will support our efforts and the efforts of the below listed Combat Veterans For Congress to protect and defend the US Constitution.

 On Flag Day, Americans should be informed about the dedication of the Flagman; you can view the effort of the Flagman in support for our nation’s Fallen Heroes:

If the opportunity presents itself, thank a Fallen Hero’s family member for making the “Last Full Measure Of Devotion” in support of the Republic.

 This is the third article in a series of articles written to protect and defend the US Constitution; each article is posted on the Home page of our Web site.  The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees all American citizens from “unreasonable search and seizures”; federal law requires that a specific warrant must be issued by a court to obtain specific information from a US citizen, provided there is a valid legal reason to issue the warrant.  One of the reasons members of the Continental Congress executed the Declaration of Independence was because of the unreasonable search and seizures by the British Redcoats who invaded the homes of colonists, violating their privacy to search for weapons, food, beverages, or other items they confiscated from colonists.  The Invasion of privacy by a government bureaucracy today is much more oppressive than it was by the British Redcoats…

  This is the second article in a series in support of the US Constitution.  We want to share some of the quotes by a great American, Thomas Jefferson, in the attachment.  Thomas Jefferson was one of the Founding Fathers, was a member of the Continental Congress, was a proponent of the Revolution, wrote the Declaration of Independence, was serving in France as the Minister to France when the US Constitution was being drafted in the colonies, served as the Revolution wartime Governor of Virginia, was the first Secretary of State under President George Washington, served as the Vice President of the United Stated under President John Adams, served as the 3rdPresident of the United States (1801-1809), purchased the Louisiana Territory, sent the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the west (1804-1806), signed into law a bill in 1807 that banned the importation of slaves into the United…

 This is the first in a series of articles in support of the US Constitution. The attached speech was given at the Le Parker Meridian Hotel in New York City on May 16, 2013 by, Congressman Barry M. Goldwater, Jr. (Ret), a member of the Board of Directors of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC. Cong Goldwater discusses the freedoms our Founding Fathers guaranteed to all Americans in the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, and how the actions of a bloated Federal Government bureaucracy have been slowly and consistently striping those freedoms away from the American people. He discusses the inalienable rights outlined in the US Constitution that have sustained the citizens of the Republic for 238 years, and how they have been under assault by the Obama administration for the past 4 years. We trust the American people will join Congressman Goldwater, the 20 endorsed Combat Veterans…

The multiple scandals continue to proliferate, and the cover-ups by the left of center liberal media establishment continue unabated. 

 US Ambassador Christopher Steven’s request for additional security were repeatedly denied, even after Secretary Clinton knew 10 Militia and Al Q’ieda training camps had been created in Benghazi, knew that the US Mission in Benghazi had previously been attacked by Al Q’ieda terrorists, and even after she was provided with the below listed intelligence 4 weeks before the anniversary of 9/11.  All US Embassies and overseas US installations had always been on high alert, and US military rapid reaction forces worldwide had always been manned and ready, each year since 9/11/2001, to respond to any incidents on the anniversary of 9/11.  

To avenge the death of Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al Zawahiri, Al Q’ieda’s new leader, ordered Sufian Ben Qhumu (the leader of Ansar al-Sharia in Libya and a  former Guantanamo detainee released in 2007) and all Al Q’ieda clandestine affiliated…

 Forty years ago, President Nixon finally succeeded in having Secretary of State Henry Kissinger complete the negotiation for the repatriation of the Vietnam POWs from North Vietnam.  On the weekend of May 23rd, for the last time, the surviving Vietnam POWs solemnly celebrated the 40th anniversary of their release, at the Nixon Presidential Library.  If you have ever read any of the many books published, articles printed in publications/newspapers, or read interviews given by Vietnam POWs you will understand that the common thread that helped get them thru their very difficult period of captivity was their faith in God, their religious worship away from the eyes of their captors, and the support the Prisoner of War Code of Conduct was inculcated in them; Article VI is listed below.

 Congressman Joe Heck, Col-USAR (MC) (R-NV-3), an endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress, authored a new version of the Stolen Valor Act.  The first Stolen Valor Law made it a crime to lie about being awarded a medal for valor while serving in the US Armed Forces. Last summer the Supreme Court ruled the Stolen Valor Law was too broad and violated the “Free Speech” provision of the US Constitution.  Congressman Heck said he understood that fraud is already a crime, but noted that each state punishes it in a different way, and since the military awards for valor are federally authored awards, he felt strongly that there needed to be a uniform federal standard to deal with the issue.   Last summer, Congressman Heck analyzed the Supreme Court’s decision, and saw an opening to propose an updated version of the law by inserting a line about gaining “material advantage”.  The new…

 In the below listed article, Dr. Judith Reisman, a therapist, discusses a shocking secret the Pentagon has tried to keep a lid on since they were forced to admit openly homosexual males into the US Armed Forces.  With 1,219,510 men serving in the US Armed Forces, the Defense Department reported that if only 17 % of young recruits who were sexually assaulted reported it, then based upon the hard figure of 10,700 male victims who filed formal complaints of homosexual assaults, the Pentagon estimated that 62,941 military men were forcibly sodomized by homosexual males in the military in a one year period---the large number of male rapes in the US Armed Forces had never happened in history.  If only several criminal homosexual assaults were perpetrated against male members of the US military, their numbers would have been too high; the men who perpetrate those crimes, should be…

 On this Memorial Day and every day, we not only honor all military personnel who gave the last full measure of devotion in combat to their country, we also honor all military Veterans who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their lives,” and we will not forget to honor those courageous military canine who have protected members of the US Armed Forces going in “Harm’s Way” daily.  This year we ask all Americans to please remember two former US Navy SEALs who ran to the sound of gunfire, even though they were told to “STAND DOWN”, and by their heroic action saved the lives of 32 Americans who were under attack in the Benghazi Mission by 125+ Al Q’ieda terrorist.

On this Memorial Day weekend, we want to share the below listed story about Sgt Ross Gundlach, USMC, a Dog Handler in…

The video, "Underground Great Wall of China", can be viewed by clicking on the below listed link; it was produced by Georgetown University.  It relates how China went public in 2009 with how they have hardened 3000 kilometers of tunnels under the Great Wall, and that those hardened sites are safe from bunker busting nuclear weapons.  The hardened sites were created to protect China’s nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles from a direct attack; it was a game changer in the balance of nuclear weapons.  The Chinese can house over 100 million soldiers/people in those tunnels. The firm number of China’s nuclear warheads possess is not known for sure, but they total somewhere between 420 and 3000 nuclear warheads, and china keeps increasing their numbers. 

In 2009, the left of center liberal media establishment did not provide the American people with Chinese…

 On Armed Forces Day, we remember the many young high school graduates who entered the military in the 1950s whom were very motivated to serve, because of examples set by relatives who served in WWII; their relatives were members of the Greatest Generation.  After Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan, many of the young men in the nation dropped out of high school to volunteer for combat at the beginning of WWII—it was a selfless and patriotic act by a truly Great Generation of Americans. 

Today only a small percentage of America’s youth are motivated to volunteer and serve in the military; those who are serving are members of the greatest military fighting force in the world.   We “honor” all who served in defense of the Republic in years gone by, those who gave the last full measure of devotion, and especially those going into “Harm’s Way” today in Afghanistan and in the World…

 Obama is planning to “unilaterally” reduce the US nuclear arsenal to 1000 warhead from 1550 warheads; when Obama came into office there was a high of 5113 warheads.  Specialists on nuclear deterrence say further cuts beyond the 1,550 deployed warheads agreed to in the 2010 New START Arms Treaty will undermine the United States' ability to deter nuclear attacks from Russia and China, who have significant modernization programs underway and are aggressively increasing their nuclear weapons arsenals.  Yet Obama is bypassing Congress to further reduce “unilaterally” the US nuclear arsenal from 1550, to 1000 warheads by Executive Order.  While Obama is deactivating the us nuclear arsenal, China continues to aggressively increase its current arsenal of 240 nuclear weapons by an additional 180 new nuclear weapons for deployment in Chinese nuclear submarines (China is planning to…

 The death of 30 US Military personnel in an operation in Afghanistan, including 17 members of SEAL Team SIX, who 90 days previously, had taken out Osama Bin Laden, was the largest single loss of American military personnel in one operation in the 12 year conflict in Afghanistan.  Al Q’ieda had previously signaled that SEAL Team SIX had been targeted.   After 2 years, the persistent failure by the Obama Administration to provide the families of those 30 military personnel with certain facts surrounding their deaths has resulted in the families going public and making charges of a cover-up.    

Obama confirmed to the world, for the first time ever, the existence of SEAL Team SIX and the specific details of how they operate when they took out Osama Bin Laden.  Since the SEAL Team SIX had been established by President Reagan, no US President had ever revealed publically that there…

 From the Hon F. Bing West, USMC, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration, in his published article in the National Review, he does an excellent job of revealing the nature of the failure of General Dempsey to take action prior to and during the Terrorist attack in Benghazi to protect the lives of American personnel under attack for 10 hours.  Bing West’s impressive background is as follows: he is a Harvard College graduate, received an MBA from Stanford Bus School, is a former US Marine Officer with combat tours in Vietnam, is a member of the Council On Foreign Relations, and a member of the St Crispin’s Order.  Bing West’s son, Owen West, was US Marine Corps in Recon.  His published books about combat in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan are:

 Since early 2012, the CIA has been aiding Arab governments and Turkey in obtaining and shipping weapons to the Syrian rebels; using the US Consulate and CIA Annex in Benghazi.  The New York Times report claims most of the weapons shipments facilitated by the CIA began after the 2012 presidential election.  This is the second time the Obama Administration has shipped guns; the first time they do so, they did so to drug cartels in Mexico in the Fast and Furious Operation which began on October 31, 2009, and one of those guns was used to kill a US Border Patrolman, the other guns were used to murder thousands of Mexican citizens (Fast and Furious has been an ongoing cover-up by Eric Holder and Obama Administration officials for 3 and a half years).  

Middle Eastern Security officials have said U.S.-aided weapons shipments go back more than a year, escalating before the Sept. 11,…

 After 8 months of stonewalling the Congress, the below listed article calls for Congress to take action to force the Obama Administration to provide the American people with the truth about what happened leading to the attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.   That article is a further attempt to shed light on the heroic actions of two Navy SEALS who saved 32 American lives during the assault on the Benghazi Consulate.  That attack was perpetrated by over 150+ Al Q’ieda and affiliated terrorists, from Ansar al-Shariah, in a well-coordinated and premeditated commando style assault on the US Consultant; US Ambassador Stevens, two heroic Navy SEALs (Glen Doherty and Tyrone Wood), and the Ambassador’s aide were assassinated.  The two Navy SEALs were not part of the Ambassador’s security detail, yet the White House intentionally misreported their status as such; they were killed in the…

 This is another inept & misguided Obama Administration policy that is undermining the fragile financial stability of the Republic.  Adding Illegal Aliens to US Welfare rolls is fiscally irresponsible.    The two Chechens terrorists who set off the bombs in Boston had been on the same programs being advertised in Mexico by the US Agriculture Department, in order to recruit and encourage more Illegal Aliens to violate federal law by sneaking across the Southern US Border, then to file for food stamps.  Please review the below listed article.

 US Federal District judge Reed O’Connor, ruled against DHS for its refusal to initiate removal proceedings for Illegal Immigrants and for blocking ICE from following the federal laws they were sworn to uphold.   Judge O’Connor ruled that the Department of Homeland Security Secretary does not have the authority to refuse to enforce federal laws of the land that require illegal immigrants to face deportation, in the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Union’s lawsuit against DHS.  This is another flagrant violation of provisions of the US Constitution by the Obama Administration. This information has been suppressed and covered up by the left of center liberal media establishment.

 The George Bush Presidential Library was dedicated today----the below listed video is a reflection of a time in our country so long ago, when our President, like all Presidents up to that time, loved his country, didn’t hesitate to tell anyone in the world who would listen that he loved his country, and he brought the American people together---90 % of them supported him at that time.  We have a different type of person working in the Oval Office today, who refuses to admit we are being repeatedly attacked by Islamic jihadists in Times Square, in Fort Hood, in Benghazi, in Boston, and in Afghanistan----have you ever heard the current resident of the Oval Office say, just once, that he loves America?  I absolutely love my country and so do my fellow Naval Academy Classmates, my fellow Federal Law Enforcement Officers, and those men and women I served with in the US Armed Forces in…

 In the last 3 days I have discussed the new immigration Act (S. 774) and what allowing the 18+ million illegal immigrants in residence in the US to apply for US Citizenship will do to the fabric of the Republic.  The new citizens will bring in an average of 4+  low income relatives over the next 13 years, driving the US population up to about 100 million illegal immigrants in this country—please watch the below listed video by clicking on the link to get a visual of just how unsustainable it is.

The members of US Senate have no way of paying for the new $6 trillion bill the Heritage Foundation tells us it will cost to assimilate those 100 million illegal immigrants; the Senators tell us it will cost $22.5 billion which…

 This is the third of a three part discussion concerning the new 884 page Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act (S. 744); the first two articles are posted on the Home page of the Web site at http://www.CombatVeteransForCongress.org:

According to the research completed by the Heritage Foundation, if those 18+ million Illegal immigrants are given the ability to follow the lengthy procedure leading to citizenship, it will cost the American taxpayer $6 trillion dollars in new debt over the next 15 year period (the Democratically controlled Senate is misleading the American voter by saying it will cost $23.5 billion).  This new massive debt is being forced on the American…
