Let Your Voice Be Heard

US: North Korea loading rocket on launch pad. This coming from AP .
WASHINGTON – North Korea is loading a Taepodong rocket on its east coast launch pad in anticipation of the launch of a communications satellite early next month, U.S. officials say. U.S. counterproliferation and intelligence officials have confirmed Japanese news reports of the expected launch between April 4 and 8.

North Korea announced its intention to launch the satellite in February. Regional powers worry the claim is a cover for the launch of a long-range missile capable of reaching Alaska. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair said earlier this month that all indications suggest North Korea will in fact launch a satellite.

Our country is going to let other countries do what they want because of our invasion of Iraq.
Our leaders are leading our country down a slippery slop and they have no idea when to put on the breaks to slow down the advancement of countries with the goal of destroying the US along with Israel and any other country that do not believe as they do. Politically correct has gone to far. Our enemies have no rules of engagement. Why should they? The United Nations is a joke and I cannot see how all those people in the UN can actually believe what they are doing with warnings and sanctions after sanctions are actually doing anything whatsoever. As a poor 45 year old man I wonder if anyone thinks that we are going in the right direction? Evidently our leaders think we are. But how long do you think it will be before we, the people, have no voice at all? The electoral vote is a prime example. But we continue to believe that our government is making the best decisions for our country.
Wake up and smell the stink all around you. Each of us have a voice. Let, make, it be heard!

Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean

North Carolina Congressman Walter Jones is sending yet another letter to the White House today, urging the president to take action on behalf of El Paso Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. The men are serving 11 and 12 years respectively in a federal prison for shooting a fleeing illegal alien who was attempting to smuggle 743 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. The Mexican national was granted immunity for testifying against the agents.

Representative Jones is seizing on a report that shows the judge in the case did not allow the defense to present evidence to the jury of a second drug offense committed by the illegal alien. That revelation prompted yet more outrage from critics who say the government was more interested in prosecuting the agents than the drug smuggler.

Why A Non-Binding Resolution

Congressional correspondent Sharyl Attkisson explained: “Think of it not so much as a real debate with a real chance of changing anything in the war on Iraq. It's more of a political dare -- a nonbinding resolution that Republicans are putting to a vote, calling for the U.S. to stand firm in Iraq and the war on terror, and who in their right mind would vote against that?”

So if it’s likely not going to change anything, why is it getting so much attention? The reasons are mostly related to the story’s political relevance, according to Attkisson. She wrote in an e-mail:

“It's getting attention because the war in Iraq and the war on terror are foremost on the minds of so many Americans. That's why Congress wants to debate it: to let constituents back home in this election year see that they are talking about the big issues and controversies.

The resolution that was proposed isn't the one Democrats would have chosen to debate; it's the Republicans' choice. Many Democrats would rather be voting on a timeline for troop withdrawal. Many Republicans, on the other hand, felt it was important to send a symbolic message of support for the war in Iraq and the war on terror.”

This sounds just like our politicians at work. Spinning their wheels on something that does not change a thing and they know it. It is all a big show for the elections coming up.

Why can they not actually do something to help our country. Like secure our borders or at least support the ones that try and protect it.
