National Security and our Economy are tied together. Think about what we had after 9/11! We not only have our Military under "rules of engagement" which put them in danger in facing the terrorists, we also have terrorists infiltrating and planning attacks here in America!
Time to get on your phone and computer and call and write the members of Congress from your state who obviously believe our Military on active duty do NOT have the right to defend themselves! if they believe their lives are in danger!
Go to the roll call link at he link above and look up your Representatives in the US House. Ask those who voted NO, why they voted against allowing our Military to defend themselves? In other words if you are in the Military you don't have 2nd amendment rights???
Please bring this National Security issue to all you know! Thanks!
National Security/border control
The amendment passed the House, but among the 160 House members who voted NO are the following House members from Florida.
The Florida Democrats In US House Who Voted NO: (The 6 we MUST vote out in 2012!)

The Florida Republican US House Members Who Voted NO - (WE MUST ASK THEM WHY!)
Ander Crenshaw - (R) - District 4
http://crenshaw.house.gov/
Dan Webster - (R )- District 8
http://webster.house.gov/
Of course, we expect the leader of the Marxist Democrat Party, Dizzie Debbie, to vote NO, and not surprising that the other 5 Marxist DEMS in Florida would follow Debbie!
Seeing a NO vote from Congressman Crenshaw and Congressman Webster has made me VERY UPSET! They will be hearing from me today, tomorrow, the next day and the next day until I find out WHY they voted against our troops!
That’s all we need. Individual troops starting an international incident. Or worse yet, troops in a domestic designated hostile-fire area deciding to open fire on Americans “for self defense” (Janet Reno, anyone?)
No, what we need is the government to start acting responsibly when putting troops into hostile-fire areas, not just leaving them as targets.
Right now the most important issue IS the economy. What threat do we suffer under that can wipe us out as a nation if not economic?
How do you stop the like of major Hassan, the military psychologist, by beefing up military expenditures? Or for that matter people entering the country with legitimate visa’s, such as all of the 911 terrorists?
We are currently borrowing 42 cents for every dollar spent by the federal government. Half of that borrowing is from foreigners! We owe Trillions to China alone!
So why are we spending huge sums of money in middle-east wars protecting oil supplies to China with borrowed money from China? I can’t think of anything more stupid!
Then we are spending hundreds of Billions on Homeland security. Add all the hours wasted by airline passengers getting frisked and groped by TSA. It is all so asinine.
We can’t have an economy by borrowing 42 cents on every dollar spent. There are much more economical methods of fighting WOT & illegal immigration.
Voter fraud is the number one issue. All other issues can be resolved.
If you don’t pay your troops, you don’t have national security.
People seem to forget that the final straw for the Soviet Union was inability to issue paychecks.
I cannot get the link to work.
Barry soetoro aka Barak Hussein Obama II has succeeded beyond expectations at fundamentally changing the United States—Our Economy is trashcanned since he took Office— our National Security likewise. and the american people are kept divided and distracted by all the dam brush fires this Hitler youth keep having his community organizers set. The Army trained us to look to -to study the founding documents to best train to oppose the enemy foreign or domestic-and holding our elected officials accountable to those documents is key to maintaining our Constitutional Republic.
Thanks for the bump. The Lame stream ghoulishly reported casualties under Bush everyday. Now casualites are worse and not a peep.
Puzzling to me is how an amendment passed in May can generate any level of attention months later when our National Security is being shown to be directly undermined by political operatives in the highest levels of government.
Anyone see a gunrunning reference here?

Issa’s Fast and Furious hearings should be the number one subject of discussion from coast to coast. It should be explored as the best opportunity to reclaim our Nation.
Instead we are fed yesterday’s news.
Another opinion.
We won’t be able to afford an effective national security if our economy is wrecked. Case in point: The Soviet Union.
And we won’t have to will to fight on either front if present trends continue. We’ve been under persistent psychological attack from the Marxists and socialists. And the attack is working.
Whether people want to admit it or not the major issue in this country politically and in every other way is that people need to come back to The LORD in mass and there is absolutely nothing else that will possibly cure us of our growing amount of problems and catastrophes. As always the answer is Jesus Christ and He alone. He alone brings us into the family of God and starts to deal with individuals on an itimate and personal level to purge them of their sins.
