This is a perfect example why I refrain from watching the news on ABC, NBC, CBS, or MSNBC. Today on a segment of the “Glen Beck Show” on FOX (Fox Cable News) was the following:
“Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company
(which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil ! Now here’s the real clincher. it gets more
interesting. Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? It is American BILLIONAIRE, George Soros, who was one of President Obama’s most generous financial supporter during his campaign. If you are able to connect the dots and follow the money, you are probably as upset as I am. Not a word of this transaction
was broadcast on any of the other news networks! Forward this factual e-mail to others who care about this country and where it is going. Also, let all of your Government representatives know how you feel about this. Below is the Wall street Journal article to confirm this.

Now that Tea Party’s across the USA are rising above the Republicans
and the Democrats some with $$$$ in their eyes are claiming to be Tea Partys but theirs are for profit.

The tea party movement generally has not been a for-profit venture most places until now with the upcoming Tea Party Nation Convention in Tennessee, and many local and national organizers and local grassroots activists are distancing themselves from this movement.

It has also been reported that Tea Party Nation is a fund raising ploy for the GOP.

(Richmond, VA) The Tea Party/Patriot movement in Virginia has gathered significant strength with the formation of the Virginia Tea Party Patriot Federation. The non-partisan Federation is a coalition of tea party and 9/12 grassroots groups in Virginia. The Virginia Tea Party Patriot Federation (VTPPF) currently has 36 member organizations that represent more than 20,000 Virginians.
“Our primary goal is to help local, independent patriot groups grow in numbers and influence. Up until recently we have been a fragmented movement, but that has all changed and we are now united in Virginia,“ says Jamie Radtke, Chairman of the Federation .
“We will be a major player in Virginia politics moving forward. This is so far beyond partisan politics for people involved in the tea party patriot movement. All of us are sick of career politicians in both parties who have no regard for the Constitution or limited government. The Virginia Tea Party Patriot Federation gives the disenfranchised voter a place to call home. If you want to fundamentally transform the way politics are played, we strongly encourage you to join your local tea party or patriot group. Find your local group by visiting www.virginiateapartypatriots.com” stated Radtke.
Jamie continued, “we will always be about protests and rallies, but we are raising the stakes in 2010. We will host debates, be involved in elections, advance legislation, build coalitions, grow our support and look to positively transform the political parties here in Virginia. We will be the game changer here in Virginia in 2010.”
Virginia Tea Party Patriot Federation Charter:

Virginia Tea Party Patriots (VTPP) is a statewide tea party federation of local, non-partisan patriot groups established to advance and strengthen the Founding principles and God-given rights predicated in the U.S. and Virginia Constitution. Our mission is to encourage and facilitate citizen participation in the political process and empower all citizens with a voice and influence in demanding Constitutional governance. VTPP will help local, independent patriot groups grow in numbers and influence and nurture communication and collaboration among Virginia tea parties.

The first mistake happened in December when six of the seven candidates for the GOP nomination were in support of a Convention and so were the grassroots, but GOP Establishment went against the will of all concerned to give a favorable and preferred Primary process to Senator Hurt, even though the Virginia State Budget is $4 billion in the hole and local government will now be burdened to fund this election.

Now Senator Hurt has stated he will not participate in the debates, even though he personally gave his word to the 5th District tea parties and confirmed his participation with a local tv station only 24 hours ago for the January 23 debate! This date was specifically picked in order to facilitate Hurt’s General Assembly session.

It seems that Senator Hurt and his consultant, Chris LaCivita, are determined to have a repeat of NY-23 if they continue to lock out the participation of the grassroots and tea party. Please see the press release below from Mark Lloyd, Vice-Chair of the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation.




Tea Party Patriots of the Virginia 5th District “Very Disappointed”

with Senator Hurt’s “Snub” of Charlottesville Debate

Lynchburg, Va. – Lynchburg Tea Party activists are disappointed that Republican candidate for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, State Senator Robert Hurt, has cancelled his appearance at the first of three Tea Party Debates in Charlottesville, VA.

“Mr. Hurt gave me a commitment on the phone just after Thanksgiving,” said Mark Lloyd of the Lynchburg Tea Party, and organizer of the VA 5th District Tea Party Debates.

“We had a pleasant conversation and checked the calendar together,” Lloyd explained, adding, “Mr. Hurt told me that date should work since it was early in the legislative session, that things would get difficult for him after that. We agreed to hold the first of the three Tea Party Debates in Charlottesville so Mr. Hurt would be able to travel from Richmond easily. I really thought we had a deal. We’re very disappointed in his decision.”

Lloyd said his group had “worked really hard to create a public forum for the candidates to lay out their vision for the voters in the 5th district.”

Lloyd continued, “We regret that Mr. Hurt won’t be there to explain his positions on the issues — especially his controversial tax votes in Richmond that so many of our members are concerned about. We will have an open chair for him, just in case he can work us into his schedule.”

In 2004, Robert Hurt voted to increase taxes $1.5 billion in Virginia, and was only one of 15 Republican state delegates to vote in favor of it, joining every Democrat in the legislature.

Lloyd held out hope that Hurt would attend future debates. Lloyd said, “I hope that he will make himself available for the debates in Lynchburg in February and Southside in March. I guess we’ll just have to see. The campaign does know of these following debates.”

Lloyd said the dates and times for the upcoming debates would be announced shortly, saying he still wanted to work with all candidates to find mutual availability.

Roger Schweikert of the Jefferson Area Tea Party of Charlottesville, said “Virginians, like people for all across the country are tired of this sort of game playing from professional politicians.”

“Mr. Hurt is making a mistake. The Tea Party movement is growing in the 5th district and all over the country, and to not make himself available may really hurt him in the upcoming primary and election,” said Nigel Coleman of the Danville Tea Party Patriots.

(CNSNews.com) – Forty members of Congress are calling on the military commander who ordered the court martial of three Navy SEALs for allegedly punching a wanted terror suspect and allegedly lying about it to dismiss the charges.

A letter circulated by Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) was sent Thursday to Army Major Gen. Charles T. Cleveland – commander of Special Operation Command Central, who ordered the court martial.

“In our opinion, prosecutorial discretion should have been exercised,” the letter said. “Failing that, we respectfully and strongly urge you to exercise your leadership authority, stop the impending court martial and exonerate these men.”

The letter comes after a separate letter signed by 33 House members to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, which was circulated by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), asking him to intervene. However, military legal experts told CNSNews.com that the Defense secretary’s ability to intervene in a court martial could be limited.

House members representing two of the SEALs’ home district signed their names to the letters. Both letters are signed only by Republican members.

One of the signatures on the Burton and Hunter letters belonged to Rep. Bob Latta, who represents the Ohio’s 5th Congressional District that includes Perrysburg, Ohio. That’s the hometown of one of the three SEALs, Mathew McCabe, 24.

McCabe was part of the SEAL team that captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, alleged architect of the murder of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah, Iraq in 2004. The bodies of the four Americans were burned, mutilated and hanged from a bridge over the Euphrates River.

McCabe is charged with assault for punching Abed in the mid section. He is also charged with dereliction of duty for failing to protect Abed and with making a false statement for denying the incident.

Two other SEALs, Julio Huertas, 28, and Jonathon Keefe, 25, were charged with dereliction of duty for not protecting Abed and making a false statement. Further, Huertas was also charged with impeding an investigation.

Latta will have more to say on the matter in the near future, his spokesman Bob Popp told CNSNews.com Friday. Latta also signed a letter circulated by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) that gained a total of 33 signatures that asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates to intervene in the case.

Keefe is from Yorktown, Va., part of the state’s 1st Congressional District represented by Rep. Rob Wittman, who signed the Hunter letter to Gates.

“After hearing the case of these three Navy SEALs, one of which is a constituent of mine, I and many of my colleagues were concerned with the message this would send to our soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen who serve in harms way every day,” Wittman told CNSNews.com in a statement.

“These service members often risk their lives in dangerous and uncertain situations, and in this case, they captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq. I am eagerly awaiting the secretary of defense’s response to the letter I signed in defense of these SEALs,” Wittman continued.

“While I do not believe that the prosecution of these men is warranted, I do have full faith and confidence that the military justice system will bring all the facts to light,” he added.

Huertas is from Blue Island, Ill., part of the state’s 1st Congressional District represented by Rep. Bobby Rush, a Democrat. Rush did not sign either of the letters. Rush’s spokeswoman Sharon Jenkins told CNSNews.com that he will not be making a statement on the matter now but “will continued to monitor the legal proceedings.”

The Burton letter said the SEALs should have been hailed as heroes instead of being vilified for assaulting Abed, who was in custody during the alleged Sept. 1 incident.

“Al Qaeda’s own handbook instructs their operatives to allege detainee abuse if detained by American forces,” Burton’s letter says. “We’ve seen repeated cases of this since the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan began.

“General, surely you agree that we are in a war that we must win,” the Burton letter continues. “Our military personnel are putting their lives on the line every day trying to track down terrorists who want to indiscriminately kill Americans. Our troops and our SEALs need to be bold and decisive in combat; not looking over their shoulder fearing legal jeopardy for every action or gesture.”

The letter to Cleveland has the potential to be more effective than the letter to Gates.

Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the “convening authority” has the authority to take action in a court martial. In this case, that would be Major Gen. Cleveland. While Gates could technically get involved, it could be legally questionable because of a military court rule called “unlawful command influence.”

That rules states that no high ranking commander – such as Gates – may interfere with a court martial or military tribunal conducted by lower level commanders – such as Cleveland – regarding “functions of the court-martial or tribunal or such persons in the conduct of the proceedings.”
