For the third year in a row, the Democrat controlled US Senate, in league with the Obama Administration, has refused to propose a formal budget for the US Government in clear violation of federal law. If any business entity applied for a loan and asked to borrow 43 cents of every dollar they proposed to spend, without presenting the bank with a budget to outline proposed spending, the application would be rejected—yet for the third time in history, the current Democrat controlled Senate has refused to present a budget for their banker, the American people, to confer with the proposed House budget over the last three years. Out of control and irresponsible spending has driven the Republic into an additional $5 trillion in debt over the last 3 and ½ years, and unless the American people can rein in spending by the Congress and the Obama Administration, our grandchildren…

Two of the 36 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, GySgt Nick Popaditch, USMC (Ret) and Senator John McCain (POW), were seated on either side of Gov Mitt Romney at a Memorial Day Tribute, where 5000 Veterans and supporters gathered at the Veteran’s Memorial adjacent to the Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego. If you click on the below listed link, you will be able to view GySgt Popaditch’s address reminding those in attendance to “Never Forget” the long history of extraordinary service in Combat by US Marines. …
The below listed link to Gen Anthony Zini, USMC (Ret), former Commander, US Central Command, is an outstanding presentation that should be viewed by all family members of Vietnam Veterans. In reflection when we returned from multiple tours of duty in Vietnam, we were faced with a hostile left of center liberal media establishment, abusive demonstrators with that peace symbol created in 1958 by Eric Austin of Kensington for the Communist Party to falsely portray peace (while their true objective was our defeat in Vietnam), but as shocking as those offensive demonstrators were, there were also many Americans who didn’t seem to care about the returning Wounded Warriors, Veterans with multiple tours, the well-being of incarcerated POWs in Hanoi, or the sacrifices our families were going thru. On this Memorial Day and often, we remember and “Honor” all who served…

The current resident of the White House continue to employ mass TV advertisements, continues to do multiple TV specials/interviews, and initiated a live national broadcast from the “safety’ of the largest secure combat base in Afghanistan, about what “I”. “Me”, “HE” did. While those personnel in the Special Operations community of the military know, President Bush initiated a well-coordinated program 10 years ago, to execute a worldwide intelligence gathering mission, to approve a skillful enhanced interrogation…
Read MoreIn Investor Business http://news.investors.com/Article.aspx?id=603583&p=1&ibdbot=1, it was reported that President Obama plans to share sensitive Aegis ballistic missile defense data with Russia; this was very disturbing article for me to read after the loss of so many of my classmates and men I served with in defense of the Republic. In the follow on letter dated March 26, 2012, Congressman Mike Turner, Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, asks the President for an “urgent explanation of [his] comments to President Medvedev in Seoul, where the president stated in regard to missile defense in Europe that “this is my last election, and after my election I'll have more flexibility.” “As the Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, which…
Read MoreBy clicking on the below listed link of a press release from the White House Press Office, you will be able to read the Presidential Executive Order that was released late on Friday evening. This new Presidential Executive Order is different in context and definition from similar Presidential Executive Orders issued by previous residents of the White House. It includes an overly broad definition of National Defense, and for the first time in the General Provisions section of the order, Part VIII, Section 801 (j), it allows for emergency preparedness activities conducted pursuant to title VI of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5195 which permits the President to declare Martial Law when the country is not in times of war. The Republic can still be safeguarded by Congressional action if the Congress is able to come…
Read MoreWe have witnessed the 568 ship US Navy that President Reagan authorized and built, being reduced to a 230 ship Navy by President Obama according to a recent Wall Street Journal’s analysis. Obama’s actions, in light of China aggressive naval shipbuilding program. The Department of Defense’s quadrennial review, completed by President Obama’s own Pentagon appointees, reported that at a very minimum the US Navy should not be reduced below 345 ships. If the American people return President Obama to office, the number of US Naval ships will certainly be reduced further, in his continuing program to reduce $1 trillion from the US Military establishment, in order to employ those funds to expand his social welfare programs.
Military retirees, reservists, and active duty military personnel will have to come up with $13 billion to cover their…
Read MoreUnder a new ordered Obama Health Care Bill mandate, that was just issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), HHS is mandating that religious employers provide health care coverage for contraception, including abortion-inducing drugs at no cost -- thereby trampling upon the religious employer’s constitutionally guaranteed free exercise of religion. If you review the below listed article, the Social Experiment On Diversity driven by the civilian appointees of the Obama Administration at the US Defense Department (DOD) continues to expand; it is now forcing US Army Chaplains to violate their religious consciences and freedom of speech by preventing them from telling their parishioners from the pulpit that they oppose mandating catholic run institutions to provide contraception, sterilization, and abortifacient drugs for their employees at the religious…
Read MoreIf you have a daughter or granddaughter, this latest, never ending expansion by the Obama Administration’s Social Experiment on Diversity in the below listed article, driven by the Obama Administration’s civilian appointees at the Department of Defense will concern you. Assigning women to direct combat will eliminate the rational why the US Supreme Court exempted young women from Selective Service registration, which the court upheld as Constitutional, because women were not assigned to direct ground combat. By changing the policy, the Department of Defense is inviting another ACLU lawsuit challenging young women's exemption from Selective Service registration. Every day another shoe drops in the never ending Social Experiment on Diversity driven by the Obama Administration; the constant assault on the US Military establishment is negatively affecting…
Read More— On Dec. 18, Tribune-Democrat Editor Chip Minemyer called for someone in our military to step forward and acknowledge that “Murtha got it right” on Haditha.
He cites a New York Times report that classified documents found on an abandoned base in Iraq “support assertions by the late congressman that Marines – stressed to the breaking point by the nature of that conflict – killed 24 people, including women and children, on Nov. 19, 2005.”
Mr. Minemyer is dead wrong. The only fact in his assertion that the documents confirm is that 24 people, including women and children, were killed in a combat engagement on that day.
A review of the documents on the Times website reveals there is absolutely nothing to support the late congressman’s repeated and breathless assertions that Marines “murdered innocent civilians in cold blood” – long before the investigation was…

The American voters must elect an “Optimist”, a new President with President Ronal Reagan’s “optimism”, who will approach the desperate situation President Obama has placed the Republic in. Obama’s flawed judgment, mismanagement, and determination to “change” the tested 235 year successful Free Enterprise System into another failed Socialist State has placed the Republic in very serious danger. We need a new…
Read MoreDear Friend,
I want to pose a question to you: “Are America’s best days now behind us or ahead of us?”
I strongly believe we can and must do better to ensure that our Nation’s best days still lay ahead. But there are some who powerfully argue that we are in the twilight of America’s years.
They say that President Obama and his allies’ massive big government expansion is so damaging and irreversible that it has forever stifled the ingenuity, energy and free enterprise spirit that built this great nation.
They proclaim that because President Obama’s tripling of the deficit to $1.6 trillion and the course he has charted to double the national debt, we must now recalibrate our hopes for our nation and our children.
They point to the government healthcare takeover, the failed economic
stimulus program, and the astounding expansion of government and…
The Combat Veterans For Congress PAC has joined with the Vietnam Veterans of America expressing their hope that 387 acres of land will be used for the benefit of Disabled and Homeless Veterans. The 387 acres of land that borders Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood, California, originally deeded for the benefit of Veterans in 1888, is being used for purposes that do not benefit Veterans in Los Angeles County.
Every Sunday for 3 years, the elderly Disabled and Homeless Veterans have been peacefully protesting the current lease of their deeded land to business entities in Westwood. One of their peaceful acts of distress has been to fly the American Flag upside down—a recognized international signal of distress used on the high seas by seamen in trouble. The Sunday peaceful demonstrations continue to… Read More
Since the Revolutionary War, it has been estimated that 1.346 million American Patriots pledged and delivered their lives to make the ultimate sacrifice in combat to defend their brothers in arms while protecting our Republic and its values. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by General John Logan, National Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on May 30, 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery; it was about coming together as one nation to honor those who gave their all. On May 30, 2011 millions of Americans paused in solemn reverence, they participated in respectful commemorations across the nation, in order to remember those who for 235 years, by their actions, have protected and defended the rule of law enshrined in the US…

Carey of the National Defense PAC deserves a great deal of credit for alerting us to the below listed background information, that attorneys would need to document points of authority to defend returning military personnel who were college students when they were mobilized to go into combat, and found upon release that they are being prevented from picking up their education by left leaning college professors who do not want to re-instill them into their courses or protect their course grades previously compiled before they were recalled.
Professor Wackerfuss:

Read MoreA 31-member Military Leadership Diversity Commission, set up by the Lame Duck Congress a year ago, requested that the Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, execute a “social experiment on diversity”; the goal of the recommendations is to change the make-up of the leadership of the US Armed Forces. The Commission contains a sizable number of civilian-equal opportunity professionals, as well as some retired and active military personnel. Because ethnic minorities are less likely to meet eligibility requirements for entrance into the US Armed Forces, the Commission is urging the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force to either lower or eliminate the standards that have always been used for acceptance of recruits into the military. The Commission proposal states education, entry test level scores, criminal records, and drug use that up to this time have been used…

Columbia University students heckled a war hero during a town-hall meeting on whether ROTC should be allowed back on campus.
"Racist!" some students yelled at Anthony Maschek, a Columbia freshman and former Army staff sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran.
Maschek, 28, had bravely stepped up to the mike Tuesday at the meeting to issue an impassioned challenge to fellow students on their perceptions of the military.
"It doesn't matter how you feel about the war. It doesn't matter how you feel about fighting," said Maschek. "There are bad men out there plotting to kill you."
