But are they as good as Czars???

[hoe_cake]

I want to know who is a democrat and who is a republican. Then I’ll accept (or think about accepting) Obama’s verbiage “bipartisan.”

[Paperdoll]

Gregoire? Egads! She won in Washington State thanks to ACORN! We are DOOMED!

[Whenifhow]

Here’s one of Obama’s picks for the Council of Governors, and you may remember the guy from last year:

Obama Picks MIAC Report Governor to Serve on Advisory Council for Defense and National Security Issues: Council of Governors

It was less than a year ago that a Missouri Highway Patrolman faxed the Alex Jones show a copy of Jay Nixon’s Modern Militia Movement Report. The MIAC report, issued by the Missouri governor, took tea party images and turned them into themes of domestic terrorism. If you are pro-life, a patriot, a believer in the Second Amendment and the Constitution, Jay Nixon’s report claimed you were a suspect of domestic terrorism.

"Governor Chris Gregoire, Appointee for Co-Chair"

This is the person for whom the template for stealing elections was perfected that was applied in Minnesota last year to steal the filibuster-proof 60th senate seat for the clown Al Fraken.

Gregoire lost the election, but there were three re-counts as more ballots magically appeared from trunks of cars and such creative places where they'd been "innocently overlooked".

As soon as she was a few votes ahead all of a sudden calls for additional re-counts were dismissed by the media as ridiculous, because suddenly there was urgency to "get on with the peoples' business".

Now she's an exemplary Democrat leader.

Anyone not drunk on Kool-Aid knows they're nothing but a gang of shameless scumbags.

Flopping Aces has a very interesting analysis of this governor's council. Updated: Connecting the Dots on Obama's Council of Governors

[FrankR]

"...exchange views, information and advice on matters of mutual interest pertaining to the National Guard, homeland defense, synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States, and civil support activities"

Somebody better be reading this stuff closely...comrade obammer is setting up a coup. We have no "civil unrest" in the USA, unless he is referring to the Tea parties.

If he get's charge of the National Guard, we are in big trouble and here comes the forced takeover of the USA, including.....INCLUDING...confiscation of firearms.

There is not other urgent reason to form this type of commission. Remember the commission he wanted to form to dictate spending, overriding the next congress? It got shot down, and so should this organization of governors.

WE need to take a strong look at which governors are included and how they react to his "coup" like activities. REMEMBER in NOVEMBER.

Alright!

More rich elitist libs being paid millions to take my money and freedom!

Thank you Obama. :)

This whole Council of Governors bothers me and is a bit scary... It makes me wonder what it's leading to or setting us up for?

Sec. 2. Functions. The Council shall meet at the call of the Secretary of Defense or the Co-Chairs of the Council to exchange views, information, or advice with the Secretary of Defense; the Secretary of Homeland Security; the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism; the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement; the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas' Security Affairs; the Commander, United States Northern Command; the Chief, National Guard Bureau; the Commandant of the Coast Guard; and other appropriate officials of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, and appropriate officials of other executive departments or agencies as may be designated by the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security.

[Lucky9teen]

Exactly!!! After all, didn’t the Congress vote NO for this council and Obama went ahead and signed an Executive Order to get it through? Why is it SO important???

More and more signs, pointing to gov’t takeover in bad ways, IMO.

[scottdeus12]

“This could come back to bite.”

Probably. But one thing I’ve learned in one year about these people: they don’t care.

[Whenifhow]

I’ve identified the Repubs and their States. The rest are Dems... I just need to get their States. Stay tuned. :-)

"...synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States"

That right there sounds unconstitutional...anyone have more specific info on the legality/constitutionality of this, or is it OK is Obama says it's OK?

The reason this EO is so dangerous is that it gives the fed gov’t (specifically Obama) more control over the States, and blurs the lines between State sovereignty and control of States by the President. Given that Obama is actively building and recruiting for his National Civilian Force, taking control of each State’s National Guard renders the States incapable of defending against anything that THIS government may enforce upon them (i.e. Martial Law), and may actually serve to increase Obama’s National Force. But one cannot understand the true intent of this Council of Governors without looking at the rest of the framework that Obama has been putting in place. Context is everything!

1. Executive Orders 12425 and 13524, enacted on Dec 16. 2009: “Designating Interpol as a Public International Organization Entitled To Enjoy Certain Privileges, Exemptions, and Immunities.” (An international police ‘Force’ authorized to act within the U.S. with complete immunity, that is “inviolable”, and is no longer subject to 4th Amendment Search and Seizure.)

Please recall that President Obama stated during the campaign, “We’ve gotta have a Civilian National Security Force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

I ask you… are these legislative instruments and plans designed to build Obama’s force to operate WITHIN the US; if so, why? Creating this force to circumvent the Posse Comitatus Act, as is clearly reflected in these documents, is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. We must demand answers as to why our liberties are being threatened by this administration.
