We continue in our sworn oath on joining the US Armed Forces to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies foreign and “Domestic.”  This is the first article in a series of future articles, in opposition to Obama and his Socialist allies in Congress’ full frontal assault on the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution---this is freedom issue.  Obama intends to bypass existing US Laws passed by Congress and the US Constitution by the issuance of 23 Executive Orders that could lead to the abolishment of the 2nd Amendment as we know it and by attempting to enact new anti-gun legislation to disarm American citizen.  Obama’s initiative to circumvent the 2ndAmendment will continue in stages, step by step, over the next 4 year, as he makes one inroad, he will pursue another to finally fully circumvent the 2nd Amendment.  I submit to you here that the first assault on private gun…

There is very big difference in women flying combat missions, providing medical support in combat, in providing MP Guard duty, being involved in convoy duty, being involved in intelligence support, etc. and being in a Combat Infantry Unit for 3 months on end with improper hygiene facilities, with no breaks, and facing an enemy daily—face to face-- in a killing zone.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was well aware of the above listed video—so was Panetta.  They also knew full well that there is a legal requirement to notify Congress of changes regarding women in the military in advance of the issuance of the order Panetta signed, including the requirement that the…

There is a reason why in the Olympics there is women's competition and men's competition, why there is a professional men's basketball leagues and a professional women's basketball leagues, and why basic military recruit training for men is different from basic military recruit training for women.  In weight, stamina, and strength there are major differences between men and women; in the overwhelming number of cases women cannot keep up with men in those areas----however there may be some unique exceptions.   The action taken by the Secretary of Defense yesterday, bypassing Congress in the decision making process, with the concurrence of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who sat there wide eyed without saying a word, imposed another of Obama’s radical “diversity” agendas upon the US  Armed Forces.  The radical decision flies in the face of the many studies completed by the…

 The Tax Division of the Justice Department under Eric Holder has been conducting Para-military type raids on small business enterprises to conduct audits; those raids have soared in the last 4 years. Holder with support of Obama has been conducting outright aggressive assaults on the Free Enterprise System in violation of Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution; US citizens are not to be detained without their right to call an attorney for representation.  The two pillars of freedom guaranteed by the US Constitution are the right to property and privacy rights; Holder has been routinely violating those rights.  The US Congress must prevent Holder from violating the US Constitution, and the liberties of US citizens by continuing to employ the Gestapo tactics depicted in the below listed video.  Holder’s tactics, justifying them by investigating tax issues, are a clear violation…

 If you click on the below listed link to listen to Senator Paul, you will fully understand why American voters must change the makeup of the US Senate in 2014.  We encourage all Americans to support our initiative to elect patriotic and responsible Combat Veterans For Congress in the 2014 mid-term election, if their numbers are increased from the 19 that are serving in the 113th Congress, they will contribute substantially to reining in the out of control spending by a Congress made up of 516 other members, and by the irresponsible Obama Administration.

 The below listed synopsis from a retired US Navy SEAL Officer in Hawaii is not new to many active duty flag officers.  The Cross Border Authority issue is important in light of the pending testimony by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before the US Congress about the Benghazi debacle.  The well-coordinated and planned attack by over 100 Al Q’ieda led terrorists on the anniversary of 9/11 was being watched in real time in the White House Situation Room from a live video feed from two drones flying overhead in shifts.  One of several key questions that should be posed to Secretary Clinton will reveal a great deal about the failure of the Obama Administration to come to the aid of Americans under attack who repeatedly cried for help over  an 8 hour period is “was Cross Border Authority ever issued on 9/11/12”?

The below listed synopsis will outline where the “Accountability”…

 One of the endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, GySgt Nick Popaditch, USMC (Ret), provided us with the below listed link so we could share the video, in it, with you.  The message in that video will provide you with some hope for the 2014 mid-term election, when we will field a new slate of Combat Veterans For Congress, and will campaign for the re-election of the 19 Combat Veterans For Congress who will be serving in the 113th Congress.  Our goal has been to replace the members of Congress who continue the irresponsible out of control spending, and especially for the members of Congress who just voted to support Obama’s NEW INCREASE IN TAXES! 

We are as disgusted as you are, that the Congress did not deal with or solve the out of control spending at all; once again the Congress kicked the can down the road, and just gave working America citizens $41 in increased taxes…

John Kerry: Obama’s “Perfect Choice” For Secretary of State (Per President Obama)

December 22, 2012 By John Perazzo

When Barack Obama nominated John Kerry to be America’s next Secretary of State Friday afternoon, he called Kerry the “perfect choice” to replace Hillary Clinton. Stating that “few individuals … grasp our foreign policies as firmly as John Kerry,” Obama …

 In the below listed E-mail of December 12th we mounted an effort by contacting the national press and everyone we knew who had ever severed in the US Marine Corps, to free Cpl Jon Hammar, USMC, a Combat Marine, from a Mexican jail; he was illegally incarcerated for no reason.  The FOX News Network and especially Bill Riley took up the cause, never let up; every day for 10 straight days they continued the drum beat demanding the freedom of Cpl Hammar.  The Florida Congressional delegation had pushed very hard to free Cpl Hammar since August; the Obama Administration let Cpl Hammar remain chained to his bed in a Mexican jail for 5 months.

 Yesterday’s national television coverage of Congressman Duncan D. Hunter, Cpt –USMCR (R-CA-52) threat to cross the Mexican border to drive to the Mexican jail with a large contingent of concerned US Congressmen to free Cpl Hammar was the…

 This last election was lost by Governor Romney primarily because the Romney Campaign didn’t execute their ground game on Election Day, the Obama Campaign had an excellent ground game, and substantial voting irregularities added to the Obama voting totals in battleground states total.  Most of the reliable pollsters had Gov Romney winning the election, up until the day of the election.  The confounding variables that threw the pollsters off, particularly in all the battleground states are too numerous to relay here; least of which was that Governor Romney’s get out the vote operation absolutely failed on Election Day.  Although every one of the 22 below listed reports that Voter Fraud was perpetrated by the Obama Campaign can’t be verified, the reports outlined in the below listed links were so widespread and numerous, that there is no doubt that a certain percentage of them are…

 Going over the Fiscal Cliff will result in sequestration, yet the devastation resulting from sequestration is being covered up by the left of center liberal media establishment.  Please view the video in the below listed link as Admiral James Lyons, Jr. USNA ’52 USN (Ret), former Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet, explains what sequestration will mean to the US Navy; it will result in having less ships in the entire US Fleet that the US Navy had before World War I------and less US Navy ships than Admiral Lyons had in the US Pacific Fleet, when it was under his command.   Sequestration will not only unilaterally decrease the capability of the US Navy; it will also unilaterally decrease the capability of each of the other service branches.  The American people should ask themselves why the Commander-in-Chief is unilaterally decreasing the capabilities of the US Armed Forces…

When Obama was running for re-election, he told the American people and the news media repeatedly, if elected, he would definitely cut spending and raise some taxes in a balanced approach (raising revenue is the “code name” employed by the Obama for raising taxes and now for some reason the Republicans are using that “code word”—it’s not revenue its “taxes”—they think the American people are stupid).  The liberal Washington Post that endorsed Obama for re-election, expressed shock, in the attachment, upon learning that Obama has no intention at all of negotiating spending cuts.  Once the Republicans agreed to accept higher taxes on the rich as long as government spending is cut significantly and incentives to work and invest are not weakened, Obama moved the goal post by proposing increased tax “rates’, imposing $1.6 trillion in new taxes, and called for $255 billion in new spending…

  Our message to American citizens as we approach the 2014 mid-term election is to never give up your effort to elect honest candidates for office who will cut government spending—less government!!  The future is still unlimited for the Republic we strongly support; we believe it will be hard work to support and elect patriotic candidates in the 2014 election.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the message to the American people outlined in our Mission Statement above and promoted by conservatives Americans in the nation.  Do not let the left of center liberal media establishment succeed in convincing you that the conservative philosophy this nation was founded on is wrong; it is more valid today than ever before.  By clicking on the below listed link sent to me by one of my Naval Academy Classmates, Cdr Bill Brunelle ’62, you will be able to listen to an excellent message from…

       The below listed opinion explains why the potential selection of Senator John Kerry as the next Secretary of Defense will negatively affect the moral and Combat Effectiveness of the US Armed Forces.   The article was written by Don Bendell who authored 26 books, is a 70% Disabled Combat Veteran, was a courageous Green Beret A-Team member who was embedded in the Phoenix Program, is an authentic American Patriot, and a fellow Vietnam Veteran.  Don’s comments are about John Kerry who only spent 4 months on a boat, patrolling in the middle of rivers in South Vietnam, where there were very few other operating US military forces.  Yet Kerry testified that he saw many wide ranging atrocities perpetrated by all US military personnel; he testified to incidents he professes to have seen, that never really happened.  No military man could have possibly witnessed all those atrocities,…

Veterans, at one point in their lives, wrote a blank check made payable “to the United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their life.  On Veterans Day and every day, we Honor, respect, and extend a sincere thank you to all Veterans and active duty personnel for their service to the Republic.   We especially Honor all Wounded Combat Veterans, and the families of all Fallen Veterans who gave the last full measure of devotion to the Republic.  We are encouraging all Americans to reflect upon what the US Military leadership did, in order to save one American life, in days gone by; please click on the below listed link to watch the video and comprehend the important message.

The above listed Mission Statement outlines the principals upon which the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC was co-founded in August 2009 by Congressman Barry Goldwater (Ret) and Capt Joseph R. John, USN/FBI (Ret).  Its purpose is to endorse fiscally conservative Combat Veterans For Congress who would work to rein in the out of control spending, will protect the freedoms provided to us in the US Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, and who previously demonstrated their willingness to “Go In Harm’s Way” to protect and defend teammates engaged in combat. The PAC is a stand-alone organization, and has no affiliation with any political party; it seeks out Combat Veterans, and after they agree to support the above listed Mission Statement, a background investigation is completed on a potential candidate.  In order to be endorsed, the Combat Veteran is further evaluated to…

The below listed message was forwarded to us in an E-mail from a strong supporter, donor, and Senior Advisor to the Board of Directors of the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC, the former Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, the Honorable Orson Swindle, III, Lt Col USMC/Ret (Vietnam POW), the below listed message he forwarded was written by  another strong supporter and donor to the Combat Veterans For Congress PAC, the former National Security Advisor to President Ronald Reagan, the Honorable Robert “Bud” McFarlane, USNA Class of 1959, (Col USMC/Ret).  The Honorable “Bud” McFarlane relays his thoughts and concerns which are the concerns of most Americans, and he gives voice in a video which you can view by clicking on the below listed link about Obama’s “Dereliction of Duty” the worst in history by any Commander-in Chief.

The below listed comments are from an FBI associate, whose investigative antenna went up when the left of center liberal TV news moderator, Cathy Crowley, jumped in to defend Obama at the end of the second Presidential debate, after previously repeatedly interrupting, and cutting Governor Romney’s responses off, 28 times, in order to flagrantly protect Obama from having to deal with many issues and the truth at the end of the debate.  That last interruption was the most egregious intentional attempt to pull the rug out from under Governor Romney when he stated a very basic and valid know fact, that Obama maintained for 14 days that the attack was a result of a little known video.  We now know, that within 24 hours of the assassination, all US Intelligence Agencies, the US State Department, the Government of Libya, International Investigative News Reporters, and the US…

The below listed report on the heroic action of two Navy SEALS during the Benghazi assault by Al Q’ieda terrorists, when the US Ambassador, the two Navy SEALS, and the Ambassador’s aide were assassinated, was forwarded to me from ADM James A Lyons, Jr., USNA ‘52, USN (Ret) former Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet and Senior US Military UN Representative. The two Navy SEALS were not part of the Ambassador’s security detail, as was misreported by the White House, but were in the Consul Annex working on a project for an different Agency of the government, and they jumped into the breach to try to save the Ambassador’s life.

If the current resident of the White House had been getting his daily Intelligent Briefings from the CIA, like every other Commander-in-Chief has done before him (President Bush didn’t miss one brief for 8 years), and had not missed 65% of those…

Both in 2008 and in 2012, there have been allegations that foreign donors have funded and are funding the Obama Campaigns, which is in violation of Federal Law. The Government Accountability Institute (GAI), in the below listed article, released a 108 page GAI Investigation Report concerning foreign and Internet fraudulent campaign donations in support of US Federal Elections.

ACORN International, based in China, receives credit card donations which do not require donors to enter their credit card security code when they make the donations (known as the firewall, the CVV code), eliminating the requirement to insert the CVV code with the donation prevents banks from tracking foreign/fraudulent donations---however, if you want to purchase an Obama T-shirt, you must insert the CVV code.

A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it left the region, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.  It is only the second time since 2009 that a Russian attack submarine has patrolled so close to U.S. shores. The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow. The submarine patrol also exposed what U.S. officials said were deficiencies in U.S. anti-submarine warfare capabilities—forces that are facing cuts…

The President of the United States is required by the US Constitution to enforce and abide by all federal laws.  Unfortunately, once again, the current resident of the White House is violating federal law, this time with regard to enforcing the federal laws concerning illegal immigrants.  When Congress did not do Obama’s bidding by providing amnesty for illegal immigrants, Obama simply bypassed them, and used another one of his 126 Executive Orders to accomplish de facto amnesty for illegal immigrants anyway; that Executive Order is effectively instituting the DREAM ACT that Obama couldn’t get through Congress.  He has repeatedly abused the use of Executive Orders by issuing Executive Orders to get around the  US Constitution (a sample of some…

These two short videos document the concerted effort by an organization to promote illegal voting.  We encourage you to view them, and kindly pass them on to those in your address book who support the federal law that permits American Citizens to only vote “once” in any election, and precludes illegal immigrants from voting as they have been recruited to vote in previous elections.

Congressman Paul Ryan selection as Governor Mitt Romney running mate was an excellent choice because of his in depth knowledgeable of complex fiscal/budgetary issues, and because for his 7 terms in Congress, he has consistently been a “very strong supporter” of US military personnel in Combat, has protected the DOD Budget from unwarranted cuts like the proposed sequestration cuts being considered, and has supported Veteran’s benefits without fail.  If you click on the below listed link you will be able to view Congressman Ryan discuss why the flawed Obama Healthcare Bill fails Barack Obama’s own deficit test; his respectful presentation about the cost of the Obama Healthcare Bill to the current resident of the White House displays his thorough grasp of the long range negative impact the flawed Obama Healthcare Bill will have on healthcare for our children and grandchildren.  "I will…

On July 17th, 2012, the Obama for America Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and the Ohio Democratic Party filed a lawsuit in Ohio seeking to overturn decades of military voting protections.  Specifically, in an attempt to gain more time for their supporters to vote in early voting, the Obama campaign and the national and Ohio Democratic parties argue that it is, “unconstitutional,” “without rational justification” and “arbitrary” to provide military voters more time.  Really?

The Combat Veterans for Congress PAC was founded to elect Congressmen and Senators who not only served in combat in our nation’s defense, but who are also dedicated to preserving and defending the Constitution of the United States.  And we believe that the most fundamental of Constitutional rights is the right to vote.  How ironic that the current Commander-in-Chief, who…
