With the 1st District home to, Moody AFB, Ft. Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield and Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Congressman Kingston has a special interest in America’s defense abilities.

Congressman wants all 'czars' to testify
The Hill 9/9/09 | Jordan Fabian
FR Posted 09/09/2009 by Nachum

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) on Wednesday called for President Obama's "czars," or appointed high-level advisers, to testify before Congress about their "authority and responsibilities" in the executive branch. The president's "czars" have become a point of controversy among his opponents because they do not have to be confirmed by the Senate as cabinet-level officials do. (Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...

===========================================

The Obama admin says "special (gag) advisers" to the president----or czars----are not required to fill out the admin's 7-page questionnaire of 63 questions. The questionnaire is for appointees who must win Senate confirmation.

Fine---so they don't have to fill out the goldang questionnaire.

Big frickin' deal---the questionnaire is just a PR ploy to make us think Obama is carrying out "required ethics mandates."

Now------if the czars ARE making public policy for Americans-----they have a BIG problem. This should be investigated at once.

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The founders of the National Republican Trust PAC (NRTP), Scott Wheeler and Peter Leitner, are set to release a powerful expose on Barack Obama's unelected shadow government.

The book, "Shadow Government: What Obama Doesn't Want You To Know About His Czars," scheduled for release in mid-September is available for order at GOPTrust.com. Several thousand copies have been pre-ordered by the public.

-- Adolfo Carrion, former Bronx Borough President with a history of taking bribes and putting the interests of his donors above those of the community was named Director of Urban Affairs by Obama.

-- Ron Bloom, labor leader, is at the helm of the unprecedented government interference into the private sector. With no real experience in the auto industry, Bloom is the successor of the even less qualified Steven Rattner, who left his post amidst an SEC investigation into his private equity firm. Bloom is a former investment banker who made his name working with the United Steelworkers union.

-- Van Jones, a self-avowed communist, (now resigned) was appointed Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (Green Jobs Czar).

-- Kevin Jennings was appointed to be Safe Schools Czar. Jennings has actively promoted homosexuality in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and on college campuses and has distributed graphic material to children as a way to support his crusade.

-- Carol Browner, Obama's Energy Czar, was listed as a commissioner in Socialist International, the worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist and labour parties. (Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...

WE ARE NOT LETTING CZAR JONES GO WITHOUT GETTING SOME ANSWERS Ohaha gave Jones $30 BILLION to do with as he pleased. Others say Jones oversaw some $80 billion. This conniving Communist surely found numerous ways to shovel US government money to himself, his friends and relatives, during his blessedly abbreviated tenure.

Freeper grampadave summed it up well:

(1) Jones "platinum exit package" needs investigation.

(2) We demand an external audit of every government nickel and dime this turkey Jones spent.

(3) We demand external audits and L/E investigations WRT any and all contracts he gave to so called non-profits, companies, enviral groups and green corporations.

(4) Every government contact made by this green communist must get an external audit;

(5) Any and all government contracts Jones signed should be scrutinized.

(6) We demand a complete external audit of his agency's budget.

(7) Companies that faced any Chicago-type of black/greenmail thug pressure to agree with this thug Jones, need to get their story out.

(8) Contact Glenn Beck to start the ball rolling.

Why not just make them illegal?

[jessduntno]

"Why not just make them illegal?" I think that is part of the plan. at some point, Bammy is going to have to answer to the Constitution Article 2, Section 2: (The POtuS) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. It seems to me that there is WAY too much ignorance of this and the area might be gray, but it ain't black...

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Good job.

Now we need ONE JUST LIKE this for ACORN/SEIU

[SQUID]

Bravo. Anything less is nothing.

They need to get together and kill this whole damn concept.

This bill is not enough!

[jessduntno]

Are you Texans ready for a bunch of drybacks from CA, now that we can’t live or do business here anymore?

Seriously, North Texas? Which towns are going to be a lead pipe cinch to stay Conservative? With no ACORN members?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

One of Obama’s newspapers the LATimes, on the Van Jones issue.

They make it sound like Van Jones did nothing wrong.

“They make it sound like Van Jones did nothing wrong.”

Yeah, they’re all playing the “ahole” tape and pretending we were pissed because of that...although, I woulda probably wanted to kick his ass...

FYI

I found out this morning these numbers belong to lobbying groups to access the capital switchboard. Consequently The numbers can be removed at anytime. One I called actually(not on the list) had a prerecorded message urging people to Congress critters to support socialist health care.

[dcwusmc]

So post THAT number so we can run up their phone bill telling Congress to vote AGAINST Socialist medicine.
