The Obama administration is preparing to effectively "nullify" the immigration laws of the United States through an executive action, says one Republican senator. As Time reported Thursday, President Obama appears prepared to provide millions of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. work authorization via executive orders:

When President Obama issues executive orders on immigration in coming weeks, pro-reform activists are expecting something dramatic: temporary relief from deportation and work authorization for perhaps several million undocumented immigrants. If the activists are right, the sweeping move would upend a contentious policy fight and carry broad political consequences.

The activists met privately with the President and his aides June 30 at the White House, and say in that meeting Obama suggested he will act before the November midterm elections....

◼ Plea to America: Melt Congressional Phones, Kill Executive Amnesty - BREITBART

Sessions wants Americans to melt Congress’ phone lines, demanding their members make a precondition of any border crisis bill that Obama’s executive order amnesty via the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and any future plans be stopped.

“The American people have begged and pleaded for years for our laws to be enforced,” Sessions said in his statement. “We have people in our own country living in violence, fear and poverty every single day. They have demanded an immigration policy that puts their jobs, wages and communities first. Every citizen should pick up the phone and ask of their congressional representative: where do you stand?”

Sessions said that it would be wrong for any member of the House or Senate to support any border crisis bill that doesn’t end DACA and block the president from expanding it.

“No Member—House or Senate, Democrat of Republican—should support any bill with respect to the border crisis that does not include language explicitly prohibiting the Administration from taking such action,” Sessions said. “Congress must foreclose any possibility of these unlawful executive actions before congressional funding is granted. This is an essential precondition.”

◼ ANDVIDEO: Obamacare architect admits subsidies limited to state-run exchanges...Democrats try to deny - Reason

Earlier this week, a three-judge panel in the D.C. Circuit Court ruled that, contrary to the Obama administration’s implementation and an Internal Revenue Service rule, Obamacare’s subsidies for private health insurance were limited to state-run health exchanges.

The reasoning for this ruling was simple: That’s what the law says. The section dealing with the creation of state exchanges and the provision of subsidies states, quite clearly, that subsidies are only available in exchanges "established by a State," which the law expressly defines as the 50 states plus the District of Columbia.

Obamacare’s defenders have responded by saying that this is obviously ridiculous. It doesn’t make any sense in the larger context of the law, and what’s more, no one who supported the law or voted for it ever talked about this. It’s a theory concocted entirely by the law’s opponents, the health law's backers argue, and never once mentioned by people who crafted or backed the law....

President's Message

We all know we have a very important  election in November, California and America are at a precipice.   We need to bring sanity back to California and to do that we must put an end to the Democrat super majority, and elect our Republican candidates for Assembly, State Senate, and from Governor to Insurance Commissioner if we want to see California as the GOLDEN State once again. It is also critical that we keep the Republican majority in the US House of Representatives and we must take back the US Senate by winning a  majority of Republican seats.  This is possible but only if we work hard to elect all our Republican candidates.

    We have an awesome slate of excellent Republican candidates across our state. But no matter how good our candidates are they cannot win with out our help. Now that the primary is over we can support all of our Republican candidates on the ballot, they are our nominees elected by the voters!   We also need to remember we are members of the California Federation of Republican, NFRW and our local clubs and just a remainder that our bylaws state….It is considered a breach of ethics to publicly promote a candidate of another party in speech, print or electronic communication in a partisan or nonpartisan election.  We are Republican woman and are task is to support our Republican candidates but most important our goal is to elect Republicans majorities in California and DC to help clean up the mess we have in California and stop the current administration in Washington DC from destroying America!  

    I am a little concerned because I sense some apathy among some members and clubs. Some  may be discouraged because their candidate did not win the primary, some might be thinking about not voting for specific candidates  because they don’t agree with the candidate on ” XYZ”.  It is impossible to agree 100% with anyone and our candidates are always better than the Democrats. I remember a friend telling  me in 2008 she would not vote for McCain because he was not a true Republican and she wanted to teach the RNC a lesson.  What lesson did she learn? She helped open the door to Mr.Obama and his fundamental change of America! 

   Sometimes situations can feel so impossible that it seems better to just walk away.  No one thought an untrained band of militia would defeat the strongest Military & Naval  power in the world! Where would we be today if General Washington and the continental Army gave up?   Isn’t the future  of California and America worth fighting for? We cannot drop out, or give up, we have to keep fighting until we win!!  Let’s take a look at the political climate in 1938 when NFRW was founded, FDR was re-elected with only 2 states going Republican, we had only 89 R’s in the House of Representatives,15 US Senators  and only 6 Republican Governors. Did our Founding Mothers give up and say we can’t win…NO!  They worked harder to make a real difference. I know how passionate and concerned you all are about the future of California and America so we have to stay positive, stay on message to educate and energize the voters. That is the only way to win! We have to support all our Republican candidates, talk about what you like in our candidates and work to help them get elected. There is so much more we agree with than disagree.  

     We are so fortunate to live in the greatest country the world has even known.  President Reagan once said freedom is only one generation away from extinction . The future is in our hands! We need to honor those who came before us and become today’s greatest generation! We do not want to have to tell our grandchildren what it used to be  like to live in America! We  

need to register voters, walk precincts, make phone calls, whatever it takes to win in November and save the American Dream for future generations.

God Bless America

 

Thank you for all you do,

State Controller's Race

Last week Assemblyman John Perez called off the recount in 15 counties for the State Controller's race, thereby conceding victory to Betty Yee who finished second behind Republican Ashley Swearengin. It was calculated that the full recount could last through the November general election, possibly through January of 2015. With this news, as well as the state Democrat Party endorsing Betty Yee, Assemblyman Perez realized there was little he could do to make the top two of this primary. This election remains very important, as Republican Ashley Swearengin was the only Republican to win first place in a statewide office top two primary. The general election is right around the corner, please work hard to get our Republican candidates elected!

 

Governor Brown Signs Gun Control Bill

Late last week Governor Brown signed into law AB 1964 (Dickinson, D) designed to limit the exemption for single-shot pistols from the state’s unsafe handgun roster, excluding semiautomatic pistols altered to not fire in semiautomatic mode.This is yet another chip away from our Second Amendment rights here in California. California's "unsafe handgun" roster is already laughable, and this further limits law-abiding citizens from owning guns. The bill was originally passed out of the legislature on party lines. Governor Brown signed the bill with no comments, yet his actions speak louder than words. It is obvious the Democrats in Sacramento want to severely limit our Second Amendment rights.

4 Ways the Fourth Amendment Won't Protect You Anymore

◼ At the border, online, at the doctor’s office, you’re no longer protected from unreasonable search and seizures. - Peter Van Buren/Mother Jones

Here's a bit of history from another America: the Bill of Rights was designed to protect the people from their government. If the First Amendment's right to speak out publicly was the people's wall of security, then the Fourth Amendment's right to privacy was its buttress. It was once thought that the government should neither be able to stop citizens from speaking nor peer into their lives. Think of that as the essence of the Constitutional era that ended when those towers came down on September 11, 2001. Consider how privacy worked before 9/11 and how it works now in Post-Constitutional America....

While the NSA's electronic basket of violations of the Fourth Amendment were, pre-Snowden, meant to take place in utter secrecy, here's a violation that sits in broad daylight: since 2002, my doctor can disclose my medical records to the NSA without my permission or knowledge. So can yours.

Congress passed the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) in 1996 "to assure that individuals' health information is properly protected." You likely signed a HIPPA agreement at your doctor's office, granting access to your records. However, Congress quietly amended the HIPPA Act in 2002 to permit disclosure of those records for national security purposes. Specifically, the new version of this "privacy law" states: "We may also disclose your PHI [Personal Health Information] to authorized federal officials as necessary for national security and intelligence activities." The text is embedded deep in your health care provider's documentation. Look for it.

How does this work? We don't know. Do the NSA or other agencies have ongoing access to the medical records of all Americans? Do they have to request specific ones? Do doctors have any choice in whose records to forward under what conditions? No one knows. My HMO, after much transferring of my calls, would ultimately only refer me back to the HIPPA text with a promise that they follow the law.

The Snowden revelations are often dismissed by people who wonder what they have to hide. (Who cares if the NSA sees my cute cat videos?) That's why health-care spying stands out. How much more invasive could it be than for your government to have unfettered access to such a potentially personal and private part of your life—something, by the way, that couldn't have less to do with American "security" or combating terrorism.

Our health-care providers, in direct confrontation with the Fourth Amendment, are now part of the metastasizing national security state. You're right to be afraid, but for goodness sake, don't discuss your fears with your doctor....

For those of us who feel confident that we have nothing to hide, the future of Internet security might not seem like a major concern.

A recent study used Facebook as a testing ground to determine if the company could influence a user’s emotional disposition by altering the content of her or his News Feed. For a week in January 2012, reseachers subjected 689,003 unknowing users to this psychological experiment, showing happier-than-usual messages to some people and sadder-than-usual messages to others. They concluded that they had “experimental evidence for massive-scale contagion via social networks” because users responded by publishing more positive or negative posts of their own, depending on what they saw in their own feeds....

ISLAMIC STATE SAYS MANNEQUINS MUST WEAR VEILS, CHRISTIANS MUST CONVERT, FLEE OR DIE

ISIS expelled all Christians from the historic city over the weekend after the people were told to convert to Islam, pay a tax, or die. The majority of Christians left with only the clothes on their back, and ISIS marked homes with an “N” for Nazarene. ISIS is also cutting off water supplies to Christian and Kurd communities they do not control.

Feds fight to keep White House e-mails secret in Breitbart-Sherrod libel suit...

"The parties to this case have no need for 'public access to the documents at issue' because they can litigate under seal any issue to which those documents are relevant. Neither does the public at large have any need for access to those documents. As the United States has acknowledged in this case, plaintiff’s resignation from USDA 'implicate[d] sensitive issues and significant public interest," DOJ lawyers Charles Glass and Arthur Goldberg wrote. "Those matters have already been addressed, however, by the statements about plaintiff made by Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J.

Those matters have also been addressed by the thousands of pages of documents dealing with plaintiff that USDA has produced to the public pursuant to [the Freedom of Information Act]."

◼ Some time ago I got a tweet from a young lady who informed me that she was sure that I was not paying my "fair share" and although she could neither tell me what my fair share would consist of or knew anything about the amount of tax and other state and federal assessments I pay, she was sure it was not enough and I should be forced to pay more. - Charlie Daniels/CNS

She said she had a hard time getting ahead and she seemed to think that part of the reason for that was because people like me did not pay their fair share of taxes so that people like her could get the government aid they were entitled to, to level the playing field, she also informed me not to tell her to "try harder" because she had done that and it simply didn't work.

At this point, I gave up even trying to reason with her, even though I wanted to tell her that, with the attitude she had, she was never going to achieve any higher position in life than she already had, for the simple reason that she had swallowed the one-size-fits-all, you-didn't-build-that, "somebody helped you," "the reason you don't prosper is because somebody else is unfairly taking your piece of the pie" socialistic crap.

A federal appeals court panel declared Tuesday that government subsidies worth billions of dollars that helped 4.7 million people buy insurance on HealthCare.gov are illegal. The 2-1 ruling, according to CNBC, said such subsidies can be granted only to people who bought insurance in an Obamacare exchange run by an individual state or the District of Columbia—not on the federally run exchange HealthCare.gov.

Court rules Obamacare subsidies illegal...

In a potentially crippling blow to Obamacare, a top federal appeals court Tuesday said that billions of dollars worth of government subsidies that helped nearly 5 million people buy insurance on HealthCare.gov are illegal.

A judicial panel in a 2-1 ruling said such subsidies can be granted only to those people who bought insurance in an Obamacare exchange run by an individual state or the District of Columbia — not on the federally run exchange HealthCare.gov....

The Obama Administration is certain to seek a reversal of the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which does not immediately have the effect of law.

The ruling endorsed a controversial interpretation of the Affordable Care Act that argues that the HealthCare.gov subsidies are illegal because ACA does not explicitly empower a federal exchange to offer subsidized coverage, as it does in the case of state-created exchanges. Subsidies for more than 2 million people who bought coverage on state exchanges would not be affected by Tuesday's ruling if it is upheld.
