Let's Look at Mitt Romney

We know more about Romney than we do about the current President Barry Sotero, aka Barack Obama.  I am convinced that if theAmerican people knew who Mitt Romney was, there would be no question to his over wheming election.  As Ann Romney said, "This Man Will Not Fail."



His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney
He was Born: March 12,1947 And is 65 years old.
His Father: George W. Romney, is a former Governor of the State of Michigan.  Mitt was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and has been  married to Ann Romney since 1969; They five children (all boys).



Education: B.A. From Brigham Young University, J.D. And M.B.A. From Harvard University
Religion: Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints

Working Background: After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon missionary. After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School  Michigansimultaneously, he passed the bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.

In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the United States.  In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.

He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.

Some Interesting Facts about Romney: Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people. Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.

He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year. He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for eight years.

He was an unpaid bishop and state president of his church for ten years. He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years.

He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years. He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity. Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest "self-made men" in our country but has given more back to its citizens in terms of money, service and time than most men.

In 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income.... Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.

Mitt Romney is Trustworthy: He will show us his birth certificate He will show us his high school and college transcripts. He will show us his social security card. He will show us his law degree. He will show us his draft notice. He will show us his medical records. He will show us his income tax records. He will show us he has nothing to hide.

Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a Great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States. You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least we know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility.

We know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it. But, on the minus side, He never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the US.

You should know the difference between the men running for America's top office. You may not like/approve the information,....and that's OK, but at least they are available. A refreshing concept.

ICE Agents Sue Napolitano for Ordering Them to 'Violate Federal Law'

From an article by Penny Starr of CNS News

This report came out late last week and is highlighted by today's news that the Obama administration is using "turn backs" - these are people denied entry into the U.S. - to pad or increase the number of people they say have been deported by this administration so they can tout their law and order. But as is the case with all people trying to be people that they are not, the facts come through on the wool Obama, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE Director John Morton are trying to pull over the eyes of the American people, attempting to portray a law and order stance, which is just not true.  Look at Eric holder and is pick and choose attitude on what laws he will enforce.  

What is very sad is that in the cases below the politicans have broken the faith with law enforcement officers risking their lives to enforce laws that protect the American people. As with the military, leaders who break the faith, have to go. They need to step down and let someone who is willing to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution, protect Americans and uphold laws to take the reins.

Ten U.S. immigration agents are suing Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton over a directive that “commands ICE officers to violate federal law.”

“We’re not enforcing law any more,” said Chris Crane, an ICE deportation officer and president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council. “It is pretty much just let everyone go,” he told reporters during a conference call on Thursday.

Crane and nine other ICE agents filed their lawsuit in federal court in Dallas on Thursday. They are seeking an injunction to block Napolitano’s June 15, 2012 directive, which instructs ICE officers to refrain from deporting most illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children.

"The Directive," says the lawsuit, "commands ICE officers to violate federal law ... commands ICE officers to violate their oaths to uphold and support federal law, violates the Administrative Procedure Act, unconstitutionally usurps and encroaches upon the legislative powers of Congress, as defined in Article I of the United States Constitution, and violates the obligation of the executive branch to faithfully execute the law, as required by Article II, Section 3, of the United States Constitution.”

The lawsuit “seeks to preserve the balance of legislative and executive powers established by the United States Constitution.”

Crane told reporters about two ICE agents, one in El Paso, Texas and one in Delaware, both plaintiffs in the suit, who were thwarted in their attempt to enforce federal immigration law.

In the El Paso case, local police arrested an individual for allegedly assaulting a relative and discovered that he was in the U.S. illegally. When ICE attempted to take him into custody, he tried to escape and an agent was injured. But the suspect was not issued an order for immigration processing and no investigation was conducted because of the Obama administration’s directive, Crane told reporters.

In Delaware, agents arrested an illegal alien who was driving the car of another man, described as a “criminal alien.” After the driver was taken into custody, agents found he had ten previous driving violations and no driver’s license. The ICE officer who did not want to follow orders from his superiors to release the man has been threatened with suspension, Crane said.

Kris Kobach, the attorney representing the plaintiffs, said Napolitano’s directive is an extension of the DREAM Act, which was never passed by Congress. “It violates federal immigration laws that require certain aliens to be placed in removal proceedings, it violates the Administrative Procedure Act, and it encroaches upon the legislative powers of Congress as defined in Article I of the United States Constitution.”

Kobach also serves as Secretary of State in Kansas and he is the author of SB 1070, the Arizona immigration law that was partially upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year.

Roy Beck of NumbersUSA, the pro-legal immigration organization that is underwriting the ICE agents’ lawsuit, said the Obama administration’s immigration policies are harming U.S. workers. "Any threat of harm to our nation's immigration officers for enforcing the law is a threat against the livelihoods of average American workers," Beck said. "Congress passes laws to determine how many and which citizens of other countries are allowed to enter U.S. job markets to compete with American workers.

“Fortunately during this long period of high unemployment, Congress has refused to add further competition through amnesties that would give millions of illegal aliens access to the legal U.S. job market,” Beck said. “The Napolitano amnesty directive does the opposite. “If immigration agents are not allowed to enforce the laws as decided by Congress, the wages and jobs of American workers are at risk,” Beck said.

DHS spokesman Matt Chandler, commenting on the lawsuit, said: “DHS uses prosecutorial discretion to assist in focusing vigorously on the removal of individuals who are convicted criminals, repeat immigration law violators, and recent border-crossers.”

He noted that in fiscal year 2011, ICE removed more than 216,000 convicted criminal aliens -- the largest number in the agency’s history,” he said, and an 89 percent increase over the criminal removals accomplished in the Bush administration.

Chandler said Napolitano’s memo on “deferred action for childhood arrivals” continues the administrations focus on removing criminal aliens – “and ensures that responsible young people, who are Americans in every way but on paper, have an opportunity to remain in the country and make their fullest contribution.”

“This policy is a temporary measure,” Chandler said. “Congress must still act to provide a permanent solution to fix the broken immigration system.”

Arizona Governor Brewer Takes On Obama,...Yet Again

Jan Brewer denies deferred action recipients drivers’ licenses; will other governors follow suit?  Is the yahoo! news article which you can read in it's entirety here.


Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer had released a strongly worded executive order preventing deferred action recipients from obtaining driver's licenses or any other unspecified "public benefits" in her state, renewing her public spat with the White House over illegal immigration and sending a hundred or so illegal immigrants, who were in line to get deferred action documentation, into a protest march to "claim their rightfully owed public benefits paid for by American citizen taxpayers.

Here's what the FBI calls a clue,....America owes you nothing. Obey the law, respect the melting pot culture, assimilate,...again obey the laws and don't expect the rightful American citizens to pay for what you think in your warped minds you are owed.

Brewer writes in the order that as many as 80,000 young people in Arizona could benefit from the new status, which gives young illegal immigrants under age 31 who came to the country as children relief from deportation and a two-year work permit.

Brewer notes that the deferred action status does not make its recipients legal immigrants per se; it's more a limbo state where the immigrants are now not deportable and legally able to work but are not progressing toward a green card or other permanent legal status. Even so, the federal government says immigrants in this category should be allowed to have a driver's license under the REAL ID Act passed in 2005. But states can opt out of the REAL ID Act's requirements for a variety of reasons, and more than a dozen have done so.

On a conference call with reporters earlier this week, an Obama administration official said it is up to states' leadership whether to allow deferred action recipients to apply for driver's licenses or for in-state tuition at public colleges. (A handful of states already grant in-state tuition to residents regardless of immigration status.) "DHS doesn't comment on state specific matters," agency spokesman Peter Boogaard (called Boogerhead by his office mates) said in a statement on Thursday.

Brewer has decided no to both, writing in the order that providing any benefits to the young people would have "significant and lasting effects on the Arizona budget." But immigrant rights groups counter that it makes no sense to give young people the right to legally work but prevent them from legally driving to their jobs, and they are encouraging people to pressure states to allow them this privilege.

If this proves to be too much butt pain for the illegal immigrants. not having a drivers license, then move to another state or better yet - back to where you came from. Obama wants all these illegals to have DL's so they can vote.
