Immigration Policy by Obama
Congressman Allen West Reacts to New Immigration Policy Imposed by the Obama Administration outside the legislative process.
Dear Members, Friends and Activists,
Regardless of our respective and perhaps diverse individual views on immigration, the Obama Administration has once again demonstrated its abuse of Executive power in bypassing the constitutionally-mandated legislative process and issuing an executive order that represents a significant policy shift.
Here’s Janet Napolitano’s Announcement:

Notable Congressional PRIMARY RESULTS
Notable Congressional PRIMARY RESULTS (Sen. Hatch and Reps. Lamborn survive, as does Rep. Charlie Rangel; Jeffries defeats Barron; Rep. Sullivan is defeated)
Dear Members, Activists and Friends of AMERICAN PRINCIPLES,
Below are results for some of the more notable races in yesterday’s Congressional primaries.
Our good friend Doug Lamborn from Colorado Springs prevailed, as did the venerable Sen. Hatch, who campaigned pro-actively to avoid a fate similar to some of his other long-serving colleagues who have been knocked out in primaries.
On the Democrat side, the nefarious Charles Barron from Brooklyn was defeated handily by Hakeem Jeffries. While we do not support Democrats in general, some of our members did respond to the desperate plea from NY to keep Barron – who is apparently a cross between Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan – from winning the primary and cruising into the U.S. House.
Incredibly, Charlie Rangel also survived his primary, because apparently, 42 years in the House of Representatives is not long enough. Then again, who knows what kind of other representative we would get from his district.

Sen. Sherrod Brown squirms …
The Uber-Progressive, JStreet-endorsed and backed Sen. Sherrod Brown squirms when asked about his Israel positions at Netroots Conference
As may of you know, our good friend – Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel – has been “enlisted” by party and conservative leaders everywhere to oppose the uber-Progressive Sen. Sherrod Brown for U.S. Senate from Ohio, the ultimate swing state in this hotly contested 2012 election to restore AMERICAN PRINCIPLES to the White House and Senate.
Among the union-backed, Obama-aligned Brown’s many Progressive “credentials” is a poor voting record on Israel. To wit, Brown was one of only three Senators to appear at the 2011 JStreet Conference, even after that organization’s true funding sources (Soros) and agenda were exposed. Moreover, Brown has the unenviable role of being one of only two Senators endorsed by the nefarious JStreet lobby.
Watch Sen. Brown squirm when asked about his JStreet ties and Israel positions at the most unlikely of places for this topic to be discussed: the recent Netroots conference. (Israel or foreign policy are generally not topics for discussion at liberal and progressive meetings. The focus is almost entirely on the left’s social agenda and redistributionist economics.) Watch further how Brown repeatedly and uncomfortably looks at Javier’s (the reporter’s) name tag throughout the interview.
As for Mandel, he is already – at the age of 34 – State Treasurer of Ohio after having served in its State Legislature, and having earned the largest margin of victory in any of Ohio’s 2010 statewide elections.
As a U.S. Marine, he proudly served our nation for 8 years, including two tours in Iraq. Josh Mandel’s Bio is attached.
In addition to a multitude of important endorsements, Josh Mandel is being supported and promoted by The Club for Growth and Sen. Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund, two of the pre-eminent, most sought-after Republican endorsements that Josh secured nearly a year ago.
Raise your hand if you heard the Obama Administration and Tom Friedman Embracing the Arab Spring and the Brotherhood’s accounting for “10-15%, at most”
Dear PAC Members, Activists and Friends,
Only in the minds of the naive Obama Administration or the New York Times ever-reliable-for-a-good-fantasy Thomas Friedman was the Arab Spring refreshing. Out of Egypt, as they say, come a series of deeply troubling, war-mongering videos and speeches by the country’s new leadership.
I was never fooled or naive about it, nor were many of you. The same thing happened in Iran 33 years ago – using the same promise of “democracy”. The storyline is nearly identical. (See this excellent piece by Raymond Ibrahim – click here)
Now, after Obama, Hillary Clinton and Thomas Friedman all told us that we should embrace the “youth movement” and “democracy” in Egypt, and – as many may recall – that the Muslim Brotherhood would at most represent 15% of the vote in Egypt, comes the harsh reality. Don’t believe me – listen to Egypt’s newly-elected leader:
“Our Capital shall be Jerusalem, Allah willing”
“The Capital of the Caliphate – the United State of Arabs – will be Jerusalem, Allah Willing”
“Millions of Martyrs will march to Jerusalem”
“Gaza will be liberated”
And for the bright-eyed, bushy-tailed liberals among us, check out the new Egyptian President taking direct aim with his immediate war on women, and Islamic imposition of strict social guidelines. (Sharia, anyone???)
If Progressives want to see what a “War on Women” really is, they must wake up and reconsider your unholy alliance with Radical Islam.
