This fight is long from being over. There are still a lot of issues to be resolved, so hold your position and keep firing away.
This is not a done deal.
Pretty much bend over and get ready to take it.
I think they are voting on something called Cold War Veterans Recognition day right now. It was proposed by a representative from Guam.
I think.
Me too.
My husband and 14 year old son were in DC this weekend with a group of Boy Scouts. I'm glad they're on their way home. They may hit some traffic, but should be out of the way of any ugliness that may occur on the mall. Boy Scouts wouldn't be too popular with the LaRaza or SEIU groups.
Maybe they do know what's happening and they are getting drunk. Maybe it's hooting/hollering in pain rather than joy??? Aw - what do I know. LOL
It was hidden on WH website:
MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE
THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: Mexico City Policy and Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning
The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151b(f)(1)), prohibits nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that receive Federal funds from using those funds “to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning, or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions.” The August 1984 announcement by President Reagan of what has become known as the “Mexico City Policy” directed the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to expand this limitation and withhold USAID funds from NGOs that use non-USAID funds to engage in a wide range of activities, including providing advice, counseling, or information regarding abortion, or lobbying a foreign government to legalize or make abortion available. The Mexico City Policy was in effect from 1985 until 1993, when it was rescinded by President Clinton. President George W. Bush reinstated the policy in 2001, implementing it through conditions in USAID grant awards, and subsequently extended the policy to “voluntary population planning” assistance provided by the Department of State.
These excessively broad conditions on grants and assistance awards are unwarranted. Moreover, they have undermined efforts to promote safe and effective voluntary family planning programs in foreign nations. Accordingly, I hereby revoke the Presidential memorandum of January 22, 2001, for the Administrator of USAID (Restoration of the Mexico City Policy), the Presidential memorandum of March 28, 2001, for the Administrator of USAID (Restoration of the Mexico City Policy), and the Presidential memorandum of August 29, 2003, for the Secretary of State (Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning). In addition, I direct the Secretary of State and the Administrator of USAID to take the following actions with respect to conditions in voluntary population planning assistance and USAID grants that were imposed pursuant to either the 2001 or 2003 memoranda and that are not required by the Foreign Assistance Act or any other law: (1) immediately waive such conditions in any current grants, and (2) notify current grantees, as soon as possible, that these conditions have been waived. I further direct that the Department of State and USAID immediately cease imposing these conditions in any future grants.
This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

Yeah they will. The illegals will get their Amnesty because of it. I’m sure congress will do it the same way they did Health Care.
That will be about 25 million votes for the Dems in 2010.
Stupak always planned to vote yes:
The EO is just weak air cover to make it look like he tried. He doesn’t care if it is effective or not.

#3942 - Coincidence??????? I think not....
Nancy Pelosi said “this one is for the American people” what she means is this is how she is getting even with the American people. She hates us and this is to screw us.
Thanks will check out further...geesh! this is awful too!
Re: what happens if a bunch of states reject obmacare
If States’ 10th Amendment Rights prevail, then you will states that want to be taken-over and bottle-fed by Zero.
And, you will have states that will want nothing to do with Zero.
Remind you of any part of American history?
I don’t think Hussein will have that kind of time...the opposition is too well organized, informed, and powerful.
We are in a better position, I think, than FDRs opponents were....nevertheless, this is dispiriting. Maybe we need to all move to Texas or Idaho or Virginia...or Ireland.
The fact that Guan is even allowed to have a Rep is disgusting. It is not a state.
So this is how it ends.
Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
In your pic the signs say “Change Takes Courage”. Illegals need to heed that advice and change their own da#m countries!
Here come all the illegals....
