This in addition to his salary of $169,300 as a senator and a pension from the Naval.

I thought he married money with his latest wife, Cindy, with an estimated yearly income
$6,000,000 (read $6 million)


oh well.......

note from Bob Barr

Dear Friend,

This weekend, millions of Americans will celebrate our Independence Day. They will gather in parks and on front lawns, fire up their grills and enjoy an evening of fireworks, family and friendship.

Children will wave sparklers in the air, tracing figure eights, while fathers will light seemingly endless fuses of fountains and firecrackers.

Most revel on the Fourth of July as a matter of tradition - and it is a good one. I have celebrated this day throughout my life, even when I lived in nations that did not cherish freedom.

When I reflect on our Independence Day traditions, I am deeply grateful that Americans continue to celebrate this historic day, but I am also saddened by our combined failure to stop the continued encroachment upon our freedom.

Each July 4th, I look back at our year and can literally count the ways in which the path set forth by our forefathers has been distorted and, many times, betrayed.

We live in a nation bursting with people who love liberty but governed by men who lust for power.

For over 100 years, those designing men have been enabled by a political system that favors and protects the powerful.

Republicans and Democrats have maintained and significantly increased their hold on the reigns of our government regardless of the damage that has been done to the men, women and children who work, love, live and die in our great nation.

Today's America does not resemble the intent clearly laid out within that document that was signed by patriots 232 years ago.

They put more than ink to paper when they signed the Declaration of Independence; they placed their lives, families, prosperity and honor on the line for liberty.

Our founders knew that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. They held no tolerance for the thought that we are granted rights by government.

Our rights, our decisions, our very lives are ours. It is through individual responsibility by which we prosper or fail - not by state decree or legislation.

When Jefferson added the word "among" into the phrase, "among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," he was defiantly stating that our rights are self-defined, short of depriving another of their life or liberty.

Since the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed, we appear to have lost the meaning and intent of the words: independence, freedom and liberty.

Instead, those words have been echoed with abuse on campaign trails and government buildings by politicians who use them as Orwellian tools to mean just the opposite.

We now use "freedom" as an excuse to invade sovereign nations.

The protection of "liberty" is now an excuse to take it from us.

But today, during this election year, we have the opportunity to change the course of events.

We have a chance to send a message to Washington that will rock its foundation.

Together, we can make the word LIBERTY ring true with deafening accord.

My candidacy for President of the United States is not one of vanity or shallowness. I, probably just like you, have had my eyes forced open by a government that wants to take all that it can from me and my family.

I am running for president to stand firm and demand a return of my liberty, my privacy, my labor and the peaceful heritage of my nation.

I ask you to stand with me.

Together we face the two-party behemoth that will do all that it can to silence us.

That's why I need your help today and in the future.

I respectfully ask that you support my candidacy by making a donation today.

Given the state of our economy, I know that times are tough. They are tough for all of us and that's why we so desperately need real change in our nation.

If you can, please donate today, as your contribution is urgently needed to move our campaign forward.

As important, over this coming weekend as you are spending times with friends and loved ones, take a minute and attempt to educate them as to the true meaning of liberty and how it has been lost in our nation and ask them to stand with us.


Respectfully,



Bob Barr



P.S. Please donate today so that we can meet our goal by Independence Day. This show of support as we near this historic day is very important to me. Donate today.

bland book from Scott McClellan

McClellan On Plame
By Robert D. Novak
June 2, 2008

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In Scott McClellan's purported tell-all memoir of his trials as President George W. Bush's press secretary, he virtually ignores Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage's role leaking to me Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA employee. That fits the partisan Democratic version of the Plame affair, in keeping with the overall tenor of "What Happened."

Although the media response dwelled on McClellan's criticism of Bush's road to war, the CIA leak case is the heart of this book. On July 14, 2003, one day before McClellan took the press secretary's job for which many colleagues felt he was unqualified, my column was published asserting that Plame at the CIA suggested her Democratic partisan husband, retired diplomat Joseph Wilson, for a sensitive intelligence mission. That story made McClellan's three years at the briefing room podium a misery, leading to his dismissal and now his bitter retort.

In claiming he was misled about the Plame affair, McClellan mentions Armitage only twice. Armitage being the leaker undermines the Democratic theory, now accepted by McClellan, that Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and political adviser Karl Rove aimed to delegitimize Wilson as a war critic. McClellan's handling of the leak by itself leads former colleagues to suggest he could not have written this book by himself.

On page 173, McClellan first mentions my Plame leak, but he does not identify Armitage as the leaker until page 306 of the 323-page book -- then only in passing. Armitage, anti-war and anti-Cheney, cannot fit the conspiracy theory that McClellan now buys into. When Armitage after two years publicly admitted he was my source, the life went out of Wilson's campaign. In "What Happened," McClellan dwells on Rove's alleged deceptions as if the real leaker were still unknown.

McClellan at the White House podium never knew the facts about the CIA leak, and his memoir reads as though he has tried to maintain his ignorance. He omits Armitage's slipping Mrs. Wilson's identity to The Washington Post's Bob Woodward weeks before he talked to me. He does not mention that Armitage turned himself in to the Justice Department even before Patrick Fitzgerald was named as special prosecutor.

McClellan writes that Rove told him this about his conversation with me after I called him to check Armitage's leak: "He (Novak) said he'd heard that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA. I told him I couldn't confirm it because I didn't know." Rove told me last week he never said that to McClellan. Under oath, Rove had testified he told me, "I heard that, too." Under oath, I testified that Rove said, "Oh, you know that, too."

McClellan writes, "I don't know" whether the leaker -- he does not specify Armitage -- committed a felony. He ignores that Fitzgerald's long, expensive investigation found no violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, if only because Plame was not covered. Nevertheless, McClellan calls the leak "wrong and harmful to national security" -- ignoring questions of whether Plame really was engaged in undercover operations and whether her cover long ago had been blown.

A partisan Democratic mantra began earlier in the book. McClellan writes George H.W. Bush's 1988 campaign "acquiesced to certain advisers, including Roger Ailes and the late Lee Atwater," who opposed Bush's "civility and decency." (McClellan, then 20 years old, played no part in that campaign.) McClellan contends that thanks to Rove in 2002, "the first cracks appeared in the facade of bipartisan comity."

McClellan's fellow Bush aides do not remember him ever saying anything like that. At senior staff meetings discussing policy, they recall, he was silent. His robotic performances from the White House podium seemed only to disgorge what he had been told, and "What Happened" has the similar feel of someone else's hand.

The book so mimics the Democratic line that Ari Fleischer, McClellan's predecessor as press secretary, asked him last week whether he had a ghostwriter. "No," Fleischer told me that McClellan replied, "but my editor tweaked it." (McClellan did not return my call.)

The bland book proposal McClellan's agent unsuccessfully hawked to publishers early in 2007 is not the volume now in bookstores. How and why McClellan changed is a story so far untold.

AZ Representative Gabrielle Gifford wants to kill the E-Verify system

AZ Representative Gabrielle Gifford wants to kill the E-Verify system

to send an email to Rep. Gabrielle Gifford with your thoughts........
http://giffords.house.gov/contact/email/


SYLVESTER: E-Verify is a voluntary system used by more than 60,000 employers to check if workers are eligible to work in the United States. The pilot program is set to expire in November and there is a proposal in Congress to replace it with a system currently used to track down deadbeat parents. Backers of the change say more than six million employers already use that system.

REP. GABRIELLE GIFFORDS (D), ARIZONA: We see that the E-Verify system is currently in place,
is cumbersome, it's burdensome and it's unreliable.

SYLVESTER: But critics insist scrapping E-Verify would weaken efforts to stop the hiring of
illegal aliens. Among the criticisms, it would gut state employment verification laws like
the one in Arizona that require employers check that workers are legally eligible for employment and would restrict information sharing between the Social Security Administration and immigration enforcement officials, making it harder to crack down on employers who hire illegal workers. NUMBERSUSA (ph), which favors tighter controls on illegal immigration insist E-Verify is reliable and says Congress should expand the program and require
employers use it.

ROSEMARY JENKS, NUMBERSUSA: This is a government program that works, and yet we're talking about dismantling it and re-creating it in another agency. It just doesn't make sense.

SYLVESTER: Representatives Ken Calvert and Heath Schuler (ph) are offering bills that require mandatory checks through E-Verify.

REP. KEN CALVERT (R), CALIFORNIA: People in this country demand to know that people do not use fraudulent documents in seeking a job. Right now everybody knows that people are using fraudulent Social Security numbers in order to obtain work in this country illegally.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

SYLVESTER: Now the Democratic leadership so far has blocked legislation known as the Save Act (ph) from coming up for a vote. The Save Act (ph) includes those provisions that would expand E-Verify. And if nothing is done within six months then the pilot program sunsets and there will be no employment verification system at all. Lou.

DOBBS: Well, who sponsored the E-Verify, the new E-Verify legislation?

SYLVESTER: It's Representative Sam Johnson, also Representative Gabrielle Gifford, she's also a co-sponsor. There are a number of other representatives as well.

DOBBS: Let's get everyone's sponsors on our Web site and let everybody know how they can contact them and also of course Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House because this is an outrage. What they are trying to do is to stop the efforts of the local and state level to curtail illegal immigration in using E-Verify. They are trying to get E-Verify to go away, because as you reported, it works. This is absolutely shameless what is happening. Is there any -- is there any sense of shame on the part of any of these people pushing this legislation?

SYLVESTER: Shame is not something that you see that often on Capitol Hill; I'll tell you that, Lou. But I do want to mention though in Arizona where they have made it mandatory for employers to check the worker status, there has been a difference where you see people are leaving, illegal aliens are leaving that state and that was the intent of that law.

DOBBS: Lisa, thank you very much. Lisa Sylvester.

This is also the subject of our poll question: Do you believe the federal government should expand the E-Verify program and require all employers in the country to use it?

Cast your vote at loudobbs.com. We'll have the results here later.

Sanctuary Policies Claim Another Promising Youth

Sanctuary Policies Claim Another Promising Youth


Last summer, three Newark, New Jersey students were gunned down in cold blood by a gang member who had been released from police custody, even though he was charged with another serious felony and was in the country illegally. Sanctuary policies in Newark and in Essex County barred authorities from inquiring about the murderer’s immigration status and allowed him to have the opportunity to snuff out three promising young lives.

This outrageous example sadly, has been lost on the political leaders of Los Angeles — a declared sanctuary city with a policy, known as Special Order 40, that prevents police from inquiring about immigration status. On March 2, another teen, 17-year-old Jamiel Shaw Jr., paid for that policy with his life.

Jamiel, a high school football star in Los Angeles, was brutally murdered near his home. The suspect in his killing is Pedro Espinosa, an identified gang member who a day earlier had been released from police custody despite facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon. One other important fact about Espinosa: he is an illegal alien who could have been remanded to federal custody had the Los Angeles Police Department been allowed to inquire about immigration status.

In early April, Jamiel’s family and members of his community came before the Los Angeles City Council, imploring them to protect law-abiding citizens and residents by repealing Special Order 40. Especially poignant was the testimony of Jamiel’s mother, Anita Shaw, an Army sergeant who was serving in Iraq at the time of her son’s murder. “I was sacrificing my life for a better United States, and it’s not safe for my son,” she told the council.

The Council’s response to the Shaw family’s pleas was that this is simply not the time to consider this matter. Councilman Bill Rosendahl rose to opine that what is really needed is a forum to better explain to the public why Special Order 40 was initially implemented 30 years ago. Councilman Richard Alarcon implied that the real outrage about Jamiel’s murder is that it is being used to promote the repeal of Special Order 40.

While the Los Angeles City Council failed to find the murder of an innocent teenager an appropriate reason to reconsider city policies that protect illegal alien criminals, the council and mayor did manage to find time to voice their opposition to federal efforts to deal with illegal immigration. Shortly after Jamiel’s murder, the council held a hearing and approved a resolution by an 11-1 vote opposing the federal SAVE Act, which would step up enforcement against employers who hire illegal aliens.

On March 28, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa penned a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, urging him to end raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency on companies employing illegal aliens in Los Angeles. In his letter, Mayor Villaraigosa expressed deep concern about the inconvenience of these raids to employers in Los Angeles and the uncertainty they have created for illegal aliens and their families.

Mayor Villaraigosa has not yet weighed in on the city’s obligation to help remove illegal alien criminals, like Espinosa, from its streets and as yet there has been no similar letter urging the federal government to do its job to protect the lives of innocent Americans like Jamiel Shaw.
