National Security At Risk

Looks like President Obama is still sitting on his hands when it comes to ensuring our national security. Earlier this month, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer sat in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama to discuss the critical issue of border security. The Governor personally related to the President the concerns of millions of Arizonans over the lack of security on Arizona’s southern border. During their visit, President Obama committed to present details, within two weeks of their meeting, regarding his plans to commit National Guard troops to the Arizona border and commit to spend $500 million in additional funds on border security.

Two weeks have come and gone and still it’s all talk and no action.

Two days ago, Brewer sent a letter to the President outlining her Four-Point Border Surge Strategy. Here is what she wrote:

Dear Mr. President:

Thank you for the opportunity to visit with you in person during my recent trip to Washington, D.C. As you know, the issue of border security is foremost in the thoughts of many Arizonans and Americans alike, and I appreciated the chance to personally relate to you my concerns and outline my proposed solutions.

Mr. President, the need for action to secure Arizona's border could not be clearer. Recently, my office received a number of calls from constituents concerned at reports of new sign postings in interior counties of Arizona warning residents not to access federal lands due to criminal activity associated with the border. These warnings signal to some that we have handed over portions of our border areas to illegal immigrants and drug traffickers. This is unacceptable.

Instead of warning Americans to stay out of parts of our own country, we ought to be warning international lawbreakers that they will be detained and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We ought to be establishing measures to ensure that illegal traffic of any sort is kept to an absolute minimum, and that Americans are safe and secure within our own borders.

When we visited, you committed to present details, within two weeks of our meeting, regarding your plans to commit National Guard troops to the Arizona border and expend $500 million in additional funds on border security matters. You also discussed sending members of your senior staff to Arizona to discuss your plans. While I am pleased the 28th has been set for a meeting time and we have reviewed a copy of the Department of Homeland Security's "Southwest Border Next Step."

Governer Jan Brewer

My friends, look up! for your redemption draws near!

Another Mass-Extinction In Progress?

You thought the oil spill was bad? It could be worse. What about the dispersants that they are dumping into the Gulf in an effort to break it up? Do they really believe that's going to help take care of the problem, or are they doing it just for the camera, as they say, hoping that people will feel better about it because something is being done? Could it be that they don't really care whether these dispersants harm the marine life or not? Could it be that they chose the dispersants they did because they stand to gain financially from using them?

Find answers to these questions and more in this article and by following the links that they provide. Even before the oil spill, our oceans were on the verge of some mass extinctions. Is this what is going to tip it over the edge?

"And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead person: and every living thing died in the sea." Revelation 16:3

The call goes out - the end is near. Look up, for your redemption draweth nigh. And the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come".
