Not sure wht to make of this

I had this fowarded to me havent really looked into it just... well hell who knows

SCARY STUFF HAPPENING –



Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U. S. Needs to know....

Something happened... H.R. 1388 was passed yesterday, behind our backs. You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news... Just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen.

Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA . This is the news that didn't make the headlines...

By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza .

The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States , was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4.

Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.

Let's review...itemized list of some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since his inauguration:

His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.

His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.

His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S. , but within the world, using U. S. Tax payer funds.

He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.

He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.

He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.

Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.

These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.

Doubtful? To verify this for yourself: http://www.thefederalregister.com/d....-02-04-E9-2488

PLEASE PASS THIS ON... AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW

WE are losing this country at a rapid pace.

NOthing suprises me under this administration. All you had to do was some easy research on what he wanted to do and what he stood for.

This should not a suprise to anyone, unfortunately.

Can't say I'm sorry the way I voted.....

Kinda funny that email goes from HR 1388 which was for service programs like AmeriCorps and such and then talks/spins into an Executive Order which is totally different. To understand why bills and laws get signed you have to research the events around that time frame. When the executive order was signed, Palestines in Gaza Strip were getting hit by aniterrorism air raids from Israel and had numerous civilian injuries and deaths which included children that the news showed repeatedly. The amount of $20.3 million is not set, the order said not to exceed $20.3 million . No where does it say to let them seek refugee in the United States. Please check facts before posting/spreading any type of emails.

Exactly.

Besides, we "lost" our country YEARS ago! You think we're a free society? Maybe go preach about it in a FREE SPEECH ZONE! (If you don't know what it is, look it up.)

I'm just glad I voted the way I did, because I know my family has gotten worse off over the last 8 years... We were doing great before that. I want change. I know what Obama stands behind. I wasn't a blind voter...I voted for him, and I don't regret it. Besides, he gives me and extra $25 a week! I'm not complaining!


Oh, and if the Republicans are so against wasteful spending, where were they during the Iraq war?!?!?!?!!??

And you are correct, there are lots of things that go in a bill..... I just love how they add things in. So if one part gets delcined well you decline all of it. Makes finger pointing easier....

Show me where it says refugees are coming or did come to United States. Executive Orders are made by the president and signed by the president without the need of approve from congress and no pork can be added by congress. Prove me wrong and i will apologize and shut up.

where the $20.3 million will go to

Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). These organizations are distributing emergency food assistance, providing medical assistance and temporary shelter, creating temporary employment, and restoring access to electricity and potable water to the people of Gaza.
