Our calls and letters are working! Don't be discouraged! Don't give up!
A message today from former Senator Rick Santorum and Patriot Voices :
On Wednesday, the Senate Armed Services Committee announced that they are postponing the vote on Senator Chuck Hagel's nomination to be Secretary of Defense.
This is because of your calls, your emails and your overall opposition to Senator Hagel.
You've stood tall and said that Senator Hagel's anti-Israel, pro-Iran mindset are wrong for our country and wrong for this critically important cabinet post.
We don't want a Secretary of Defense who won't prevent the Iranians from obtaining nuclear weapons, who disrespects our strongest ally in the Middle East, Israel, who called the United States "the world's bully," and who believes the Pentagon should be "pared down."
While I am encouraged that the vote on his nomination has been delayed, you can be sure that the Democrats will still try to push this nomination through.
We must keep the pressure on to stop this confirmation. It is too important not to.
If you haven't taken action yet, here are three easy ways to do so:
•Go to NoToChuck to send an email to your senators
• Tweet your senators
•Call the capitol switchboard and ask to speak to your senators: 202-224-3121
I will keep you posted as things progress, and ask that you stay with Patriot Voices to keep fighting this dangerous nomination.
All the best,
Rick Santorum

Where is Honor in the Death of a Patriot?
We have lost a great American hero and patriot.
Below is a video update on what happened to Chief Chris Kyle - Navy Seal and Author of the book American Sniper.
I find it deeply troubling that there have been very few of our leaders who have spoken out about this incident, or who have made a statement to honor Chief Kyle. It has been reported that the liberals/progressives have been tweeting away in manner that is beyond disrespectful. Joining the ranks of the liberal left, we also have Congressman Ron Paul who is one of the few "leaders" that has decided to comment about the tragic death of Chris Kyle.
Paul Tweeted: "Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense," he tweeted to those who follow him.
It is shameful our leaders don't speak out to honor Chief Kyle. It is even more shameful we have so-called "conservatives" joining the ranks of liberals that denigrate what this American hero did for his country. I guess we can't expect more from the good doctor who said in the debates "we should befriend Iran".
Paul's comment and those comments that are similar are nothing more than saying Kyle got what he deserved. How sad to see the lack of understanding, the lack of willingness to say we have an enemy that should be curtailed. How sad to see there are those that would rather blame America than admit we have an enemy in radical Islam.
But then, Kyle would be the first to defend their right to spew their liberal left ideology. Yes! I said liberal left!!

"MAN-UP!"
I took the comments below from the Facebook page
of Congressman Jeff Duncan (Republican, South
Carolina Benghazi
Really?? Oh my goodness!! I couldn’t help but yell at the screen, “Because you lied to the American people, you idiot!!” Yeah, I know; real mature. But are we going to ever trust an administration that lies and makes up excuses that, in effect, cover for terrorists and once again makes America the villain!
When it was time for the House to question her, Congressman Duncan, handled it much better than I did. I am so glad he didn’t let her get away with that outburst, because unless I missed it, it seemed it wasn’t answered in the Senate. Please take a moment to watch the video below as Jeff Duncan callsClinton
Duncan responds to Clinton's rant.
Then please read Congressman Duncan’s “Ramblings” below. We really need to support Christian politicians like this. We need to listen to his message. My goodness, he’s one of the few that even still knows Biblical should be capitalized! ;-)
You know, when we are dissatisfied withAmerica and we start bashing America ; or when we simply give up, we are in effect
joining forces with those that want to destroy America America
I know he isn’t from our state, but you can “like” his Facebook page, or write him a letter of encouragement. Get behind politicians that understand and believe in America. There should be a huge "red flag" for us when a politician only criticizes and then acts like he is the only one with the answer. "We the people" are the government and a return to Godly principles is the answer. We need to show support when someone finally does the right thing. Numbers speak volumes. “Atta-boys” encourage. Jeff Duncan is right; it’s time to “man-up”! And I would add...it’s time to kneel down.

Ramblings:
I want Americans to feel good about their government again.
I want Americans to feel good about their country again.
We need to get through these trying issues. We have four years with a President who's team has said that their mission is to destroy the Republican Party.
A real leader wouldn't have any of that.
A real leader would inspire us to be the best we can be, reaching for the stars and hoping to achieve the American Dream - and, that Dream is not having someone else take care of you. It isn't the welfare or nanny state ..... It isn't.
We all have to work hard and contribute, not tear down. Not envy or covet. Not spray paint a message or occupy something because you feel slighted.
I am sorry. But I believe in ALL Americans. I do believe in safety nets and a helping hand up. Not a perpetual hand out.
I believe that our Founders just wanted us to have a land of opportunity - not oppression and taxation so that someone else can spend the fruits of our labor.
I believe in being Conservative when we are spending other people's money and I believe in being liberal / generous with our own - by giving to charity, church and the needy. With our money and time.
Taxation beyond what is necessary to carry out the Constitutional functions of government is theft. There is no other way to put it. So what if past Congresses have passed the legislation to create things that are more than Constitutional functions for Government. That doesn't make it right.
The challenge is a path to get back to that point without creating so much mayhem that the Republic falls apart.
We can start by devolving some functions back to the States that historically handled those areas.
We can get our budgeting done and phase out of deficit spending. We can lessen the regulations so that businesses don't feel threatened by the government and feel confident in hiring again.
Good policies grow the economy, expand GDP and create, by simple nature, more revenues without the need to raise taxes. We can tell the world that the playing field will level with regard to trade or we won't trade with you.
We can tell the nations in the world that they will have to learn to get by without a lot ofUS
No more Mr. Nice Guy.
We have to put aside political correctness and put forth Biblical correctness.
We have to realize that prayer in school or at a sporting event or before a Council meeting doesn't violate the 1st Amendment rights of anyone. Just because a school gets some federal dollars doesn't mean that the federal government is establishing a religious institution.
You don't want to pray or listen to the prayer offered that reflects the majority values of that particular community, then put your ear buds in and turn the iPod up until it is over.
Our Nation is at a pivotal crossroads,America
