More Ways Barack Obama and His Progressives Plan to Destroy America
Global Poverty Act: Revenge of the Community Organizers
A better name for Barack Obama’s Global Poverty Act (S.2433, based on H.R. 1302) might be Revenge of the Community Organizers.
The Global Poverty Act requires that the President craft a U.S. foreign policy aimed at reducing global poverty by one-half the number of people worldwide between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.
To do so, it taxes the entire United States economy (our GDP) at a rate of nearly one percent.
The law refers directly to a United Nations declaration called the Millenium Development Goal, which calls “for a ‘redistribution (of) wealth and land,’ cancellation of ‘the debts of developing countries’ and ‘a fair distribution of the earth’s resources.’”
It effects a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources,” a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy production - oil, natural gas, coal,” “fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”
What it translates to is the surrender of U.S. sovereignty to the U.N., an organization generally quite hostile to our interests.
It seems a tad ironic that Obama would levy such an astoundingly high tax on Americans when CNN reports that his own brother lives on a dollar a day in a Kenyan slum.
Obama’s Immigration Bill Includes Funding For Leftist Groups to Organize Immigrant Communities
Marinka Peschmann reported at Canada Free Press on Barack Obama’s immigration bill that will soon come up for a vote in the US Senate.
Obama put his community organizing skills to work on this one. He must have learned a few things from all of those years working with Bill Ayers. The bill would give millions to (Leftist) groups to organize immigrants politically.
Peschmann reported:
The Citizenship Promotion Act, S. 795’s, primary goal is “to assist aliens who have been lawfully admitted to becoming citizens of the United States.” It does not provide funding to secure the borders or assist in the USCIS’s quest towards efficiency or its capabilities to root out corruption. Instead, Obama’s bill will organize the immigrant community by allotting U.S. $80 million for outreach programs targeted at immigrants and future voters.
In Section 6 of Obama’s bill, costing U.S. $80 million, the Secretary of Homeland Security would “award grants,” to “not for profit organizations” with “experience working with immigrant communities” to “carry out outreach activities,” including teaching English, providing education and citizenship classes, plus provide legal assistance” to applicable aliens towards citizenship and the right to vote. Typically, studies show that immigrant voters vote Democrat.
If passed into law, organizations seeking Obama’s grant eligibility must show, how they plan “to leverage available private and State and local government resources;” their experience “in carrying out the activities, including the number of aliens and geographic regions served; and, …[how] to employ best practices developed by adult educators, State and local governments, and community organizations.” The Secretary of Homeland Security would also “develop outreach materials” such as “public service announcements; advertisements…other media…” to “encourage” applicable aliens to become U.S. citizens.
The Secretary of Homeland Security serves at the pleasure of the President; if elected that would be Obama.
Kill the bailout: More ACORN funding?!
Just heard from several readers that Lindsay Grahamnesty told Fox that the Mother of All Bailouts includes a reported $100 million more in funding for the left-wing housing entitlement thugs and heavily tax-subsidized fraudsters at ACORN. Under the original bailout proposal, apparently, a large portion of any repayment of the $700 billion would go to Barack Obama’s good friends at ACORN with a smaller allocation to debt repayment. Readers heard him say it was 20 percent.
Told you not to trust Hank Paulson.

ACORN has been organizing protests across the country while maneuvering for their next handout.Meanwhile, the watchdog Consumer Rights League testified on the Hill this week about rampant ACORN fraud:
James Terry, Chief Public Advocate for the Consumers Rights League, today testified at a joint House Administration and House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on “Federal, State and Local Efforts to Prepare for the General 2008 Election,” where he highlighted “corruption at every level of ACORN including embezzlement, cover-ups, misuse of taxpayer funds and voter fraud.” An excerpt of his testimony follows:
[...]
“Here are the most important questions right now: We know about the thousands of potentially fraudulent voter registration cards turned in by ACORN and caught by officials. But given the size of ACORN’s efforts and the fact that the abuses appear to be systemic, we believe it is fair to question how many more fraudulent registrations have not been discovered, Furthermore, as this mega organization with a decades long history of violating the law is turned to get out the vote efforts, we believe it is fair to question how many fraudulent registrations may lead to fraudulent votes or what other activities they are willing to undertake to influence the election.“These are serious questions, especially in light of recent election results which show that a just few votes can change the outcome of an election, the course of our country and the course of history.
Behind the Mortgage Meltdown
Here is another way the Latino immigrants take the housing market down. One immigrant buys a single-family property, for which the payments are way beyond what is affordable. Then several other families move in with them and help to make the mortgage payments. (This is against zoning regulations, but these are not enforced by politically correct public officials pandering for the immigrant vote.) One family lives in the dining room, another in the living room, and each of the bedrooms becomes home to an entire family.
Once this happens to several homes on a street, the resulting mess and litter begin to depress property values. Maintenance is neglected and the immigrants’ homes become shabby. So the legitimate homeowners are the first to suffer, as their neighborhood begins to look like a third world country and housing values decline.
