George Zimmerman: In Hiding
July 16th, 2013
by Douglas Gibbs from Conservative Action Alerts.
Found not guilty, George Zimmerman walked out of the courthouse a free man, and then went into hiding. Zimmerman and his parents have received death threats, and the Obama administration is going to go against the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution (Double Jeopardy) and is unconstitutionally filing federal charges against George Zimmerman.
Rallies across America ensued after Zimmerman was found not guilty, demanding justice. Disappointed in Zimmerman’s acquittal, people took to the streets. The protests were largely peaceful, with a few incidents of violent activities and clashes with police. Some windows were broken, vehicles damaged, and in one case the Stars and Stripes was lit on fire. Those that support the Trayvon Martin family are calling the justice system flawed, and demand change.
No system is perfect, but ours is the best in the world. This case, however, went as experts expected. There was no evidence supporting the claim that Zimmerman killed Trayvon with malice, or that his actions were racially influenced. Zimmerman claimed his was a case of self-defense, and that is what the evidence and testimony supported. Some were even surprised the case went to court in the first place, calling it “politically motivated.”
Even the prosecutors showed a lack of certainty regarding whether or not Zimmerman committed the murder they were prosecuting. The prosecutors could not get definite statements out of their own witnesses, and the defense did not have to try to present alternative possibilities. The case was so weak that the local Sanford District Attorney refused to bring charges against Zimmerman. That is why, on the orders of the governor, an outside District Attorney, Angela Corey, had to be brought in to handle it. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee was fired because he also refused to charge Zimmerman with a crime. Even the lead detective on the case, Christopher Serino, told the jury he believed Zimmerman’s version of the events.
The case surfaced just before the 2012 election, and the goal was to show America as being a racist nation for the benefit of the re-election of the first black president. The term “white Hispanic” suddenly entered our lexicon, because it would be harder to convict George Zimmerman as being a racist if he was Hispanic only. The media, and the democrats in government, talked and agitated for anger against Zimmerman, creating an atmosphere that had much of our country nervous that if Zimmerman was acquitted there would be widespread race riots. By inciting violence, the Obama administration, and liberal-left media, were sending a message to the jury, trying to convince the jury to ignore the lack of evidence, and find Zimmerman guilty to save us from the race riots – as the prosecution tried to convince the jury to ignore the lack of evidence, and make their decision based on feelings. . . sad feelings that the parents of Trayvon lost their son.
Is that justice?
There was never a case. The prosecution was wrestled into pursuing the case by the media, societal pressures, and the political left. Documents have surfaced showing that there may have been no prosecution at all if not for the pressure organized with the help of the Obama administration’s Justice Department.
The case was doomed. The witnesses presented by the prosecution supported Zimmerman’s angle even more than the witnesses provided by the defense. The prosecution’s case was destroyed before it could get off the ground. The prosecution knew all of this, they knew they had no case, and only took it and pursued it because of societal and media pressure.
Then, the Department of Justice did not stop there. Judicial Watch released documents showing that the Department of Justice sent workers to Sanford, Florida to assist the Trayvon Martin protests taking place just prior to Zimmerman’s arrest on second-degree murder charges.
Being found not guilty is not the end of the nightmare for George Zimmerman. He went into hiding immediately after the trial for good reason. The democrats are inciting mob-rule. They want Zimmerman, and non-left white people, to be afraid. That was the whole point. Fear in the hearts of the people strengthens the big government democrats, and makes it easier for them to force their tyrannical system on the people. Who will protest if they are too afraid of being labeled racist, and are afraid the mobs will come for them, if they dare stand against Obama?
After George Zimmerman was found not guilty of all charges on Saturday evening, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz sent a threatening tweet that has since been deleted from his account. He tweeted, “Thoroughly confused. Zimmerman doesn’t last a year before the hood catches up to him.”
Cruz tweeted what the mobs are thinking.
George Zimmerman went into hiding for good reason. His life, though innocent, is over as he knows it.
As for the effect in the political world? One example of the anger against the opposition of Obama, as created by this administration through agitation, calls for the death of members of the GOP. The democrats, with this Saul Alinsky-style agitation, have achieved what they wanted effectively. When, as a result of the democrats’ policies, and as the republicans fight to lower it, the student loan rate remains doubled, Georgetown University students have been recorded as blaming the republicans, and wishing they would all die.
As taught from his readings of Marx and Alinsky, Obama does not wish to stop at just transforming America into something the Founding Fathers never intended. His goal is to also annihilate any opposition.

House must stop big brother
July 10th, 2013
By Conservative Action Alerts.
American Conservative,
Harry Reid and the U.S. Senate passed the Gang of Eight’s “immigration reform” bill late last month containing 1,200 pages of rules that few have even read.
With the Senate having made their decision – passing S. 744 with 68 yays and 32 nays – the future of immigration legislation lies with the House of Representatives.
This said, it’s time for the House to lead.
U.S. Representatives must avoid duplicating the Senate’s mistakes and restart immigration reform legislation from the ground up, tackling issues individually through short, straightforward bills.
The Gang of Eight’s most glaring red flag – one that we must alert House members to oppose in their immigration reform efforts – is its provision that would establish a national biometric database, the pathway to a national ID.
While many aspects of the Senate’s Gang of Eight plan are dangerous, expensive, unwise, and unconstitutional, the bill’s language for increased surveillance on all citizens is its most brazen attack on our freedom.
Sen. Rand Paul tried to kill the national database and ID by filing Amendment #1333 to the Senate bill; sadly, his remedy was completely ignored by Majority Leader Reid and never took a single vote.
Simply, the House must do better. They must refuse to support any type of national database or national identification card in the name of “fixing immigration.”
With the Congress now back from the July 4th Recess, it’s of the utmost importance that we contact them on this right away! Send faxes, sign our free petition, and call Congress now!
GO8 Plan Grows Big Brother
Page 521 of the Senate-passed “Corker Hoeven” Gang of Eight bill details the establishment of a “photo tool” – a giant federal database managed by the Department of Homeland Security, supplied with individuals’ biometric information from all of the fifty states.
If established, the database would house a file for every person carrying a driver’s license or equivalent state-issued photo I.D., and contain their name, age, Social Security number, along with their photograph.
This database would also determine whether or not one is permitted to find employment. In other words, without becoming an entry in a federal database, Americans will be unable to secure a job or freely work where and as they choose!
(S. 744; page 521,522.)
This stands to show that S. 744 as it currently exists not only violates our right to privacy, but our right to work as well!
Congress is simply unauthorized to craft this type of freedom-killing legislation. Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government empowered with any ability to create such a “papers please” working environment – an idea that smacks of tyranny and Nazi-era Germany, not the limited government we’re supposed to have in the Land of the Free!
This is why we must mobilize right now and make sure that our voices are being heard in Congressional offices across the country and in Washington.
We must tell every member of the House of Representatives to completely oppose any such “identity authentication mechanism” in their version(s) of immigration reform legislation!

Indefinite Expansion
Wired.com reports the dangers of the so-called “identity authentication mechanism” or photo tool. They see it growing outside of its limitations within the bill.
“For now, the legislation allows the database to be used solely for employment purposes. But historically such limitations don’t last,” reports Wired. “The Social Security card, for example, was created to track your government retirement benefits. Now you need it to purchase health insurance. … The Social Security number itself, it’s pretty ubiquitous in your life.”
The Science and Tech Website also cites David Bier of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s concerns about the language of S. 744.
“The most worrying aspect is that this creates a principle of permission basically to do certain activities and it can be used to restrict activities,” says Biers. “It’s like a national ID system without the card.”

Sen. Paul vs. the Photo Tool
Senator Rand Paul also believes that the database created by the Immigration Scheme will lead to a National I.D. card; he says, “I worry that the Senate is working to consider a series of little-noticed provisions in comprehensive immigration reform that may provide a pathway to a national ID card for all individuals present in the United States – citizens and non-citizens. These draconian ideas would simply give government too much power.”
The Kentucky Senator has voiced opposition to the bill’s photo tool and other language that would essentially force all employers to behave like police officers and immigration cops. For these reasons, Sen. Paul has committed to remove the photo tool from the legislation. We must demand other Senators and Representatives to join him.
“I will fight to remove the photo tool from this legislation because I think it will become a national ID. We already know the federal government is rife with false positives on the no-fly list and the National Instant Check system for gun buyers. Why would we be foolish enough to think that a massive database of all citizens would not have the same problems on a grander scale?” (Sen. Paul, Washington Times)
Should the whole Congress pass the GO8 Immigration Bill with its current language, our freedom of privacy – our Constitutional “right to be left alone” – will suffer irreparable damage, also will our right to freely work be impaired.
We must rally House Members to fight this language while there is still time!

The National ID Must Again Be Defeated
The push to mandate a National ID is not new, especially in tandem with so-called immigration reform. The 2007 immigration bill contained language for a national ID, and, thankfully, failed because of it. However, today too few lawmakers are raising alarm over the dangerous idea that Americans should be subject to increased government tracking and surveillance.
This is precisely why we must raise the alarm and demand that our lawmakers legislate in our favor – and the Bill of Rights’ favor – by completely scrapping all language in S. 744 that would establish a biometric database and a pathway to a National ID card!
Just as the 2007 immigration bill and the Real ID Act were defeated in the past, so too must the language in the GO8 plan be defeated!
The Fourth Amendment right to privacy must not be infringed!
