FROM AN EMAIL TO ME FROM Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

Napolitano Declares Propaganda War On Americans Dear Concerned Citizen, Did you know that your government considers you to be a "rightwing extremist?" IT'S TRUE! - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Sunday portrayed veterans as victims - not perpetrators - of right-wing extremism as she sought to combat the political controversy arising out of an April 14 Homeland Security memo warning that returning soldiers could be ripe for domestic terrorism participation. Napolitano has insulted all veterans who serve honorably and is creating fear of military veterans by insinuating that they would betray America by calling them terrorists. Fire Napolitano NOW - Her Irresponsible Data Figures Are Lies: TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENT ATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS: SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! Napolitano's irresponsible actions disqualify her to be in charge of DHS. It's perfectly clear, she must be fired and Obama must apologize to America's veterans and all patriotic Americans that believe in the right to bear arms. She cannot be allowed to resign and slink away she must be fired. Senators Coburn, Brownback, DeMint, Burr, Murkowski, Inhofe, and Vitter sent the following letter to DHS Secretary Napolitano yesterday concerning the DHS conservative hit job: While we agree that we must fight extremists who are both foreign and domestic we are troubled by some of the statements your department included as fact in the report titled above, without listing any statistical data to back up such claims. First, your report states that "Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists..." without listing any data to support such a vile claim against our nation's veterans. Second, the report states that the millions of Americans who believe in the Second Amendment are a potential threat to our national security. Why? Do you have statistics to prove that law-abiding Americans who purchase a legal product are being recruited by so-called hate groups? Thirdly, the report states that those that believe in issues such as pro-life legislation, limited government, and legal versus illegal immigration are potential terrorist threats. We can assure you that these beliefs are held by citizens of all races, party affiliation, male and female, and should not be listed as a factor in determining potential terror threats. A better word usage would be to describe them as practicing their First Amendment rights. Also, you list those that bemoan the decline of U.S. stature and the loss of U.S. manufacturing capability to China and India as being potential rightwing extremists. We would suggest that the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs in the manufacturing industry to foreign countries are not potential terror threats, but rather honest Americans worried about feeding their families and earning a paycheck. Suspending Civil Liberties - The Reichstag Fire Burns Again? On February 27, 1933 the message went out in Germany about the national congressional building "The Reichstag is on fire!" The government turned a blind eye to the terrorist attack because they knew what government officials have known throughout history - that during extreme national emergencies, people are most scared and thus much more willing to surrender their liberties in return for "security ". The day after the fire a decree was issued entitled, "For the Protection of the People and the State." Justified as a "defensive measure against Communist acts of violence endangering the state," the decree suspended the constitutional guarantees pertaining to civil liberties: NOW DHS DECLARES THAT SECOND AMENDMENT SUPPORTERS ARE "RIGHTWING EXTREMISTS": TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THE REPORT! According to news reports, the Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," labeling citizens opposed to new firearms restrictions, returning veterans and conservatives as "rightwing extremists" and associating them with white supremacists and violent antigovernment groups. You read that right -- it appears that the Obama Administration, and especially the DHS under Janet Napolitano, is trying to demonize political dissent. And it's no big surprise who's directly in their crosshairs: supporters of the Second Amendment, including veterans and gun owners. Who is funding this kind of nonsense? Well, YOU are. Why would your government spend your money attacking YOU, instead of spending your money PROTECTING you? This calls for grassroots action, on a HUGE scale! TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENT ATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS: SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! The report also says that Congressional debates about immigration and gun control make extremist groups suspicious and give them a rallying cry: "It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law; nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists," the report said. Why are they worried? Because since November, more than 7 million people have applied for criminal background checks in order to buy weapons. And as far as the Obama administration is concerned, buying guns equals "weapons stockpiling," buying ammo equals "hoarding of ammunition," and expressing concern about Congress passing gun control legislation qualifies YOU as part of an "extremist group." Therefore, you and I are now being viewed as dangerous rightwing extremists that law enforcement officials need to be watching out for! This is OUTRAGEOUS! TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENT ATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS: SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! This report was released "hot on the heels" of another (state) government agency report in February: the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report titled, "MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement." In this horrific "law enforcement sensitive" secret police report, Governor Jeremiah (Jay) Nixon; John Britt, Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety; James Keathley, Colonel, Missouri State Highway Patrol; and Van Godsey, Director of MIAC categorize certain citizens as being potential violence-prone "militia members." According to the MIAC report, if you oppose any of the following, you could qualify for being profiled as a potential dangerous "militia member": Gun Control The Income Tax The United Nations The Ammunition and Accountability Act The New World Order The violation of Posse Comitatus A possible Constitutional Convention Universal Service Program Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Abortion The Federal Reserve Illegal Immigration The North American Union Well, there you have it! You see? You ARE a dangerous rightwing extremist! As ridiculous as that report seems, it was distributed to law enforcement officials across the state of Missouri. And it wasn't until the state government was FLOODED with protests from patriotic Americans across the country, that they finally came out and denounced and retracted the MIAC document. Now, it's happened again -- but this time, at the Federal level! Our own government is turning against us, and unless there is a HUGE outpouring of outrage from every part of this nation, it will just keep getting WORSE! TELL CONGRESS TO CONDEMN THIS GOVERNMENT ATTACK ON GUN OWNERS AND VETERANS: SEND YOUR FAXES NOW! Interestingly enough, no left-leaning political ideologies were identified. No Islamic extremists. No environmental extremists. Only people holding "conservative" or "right-wing" philosophies were identified in BOTH the MIAC report AND the Homeland Security "assessment." This shouldn't be too surprising: both of these reports are similar to several other reports currently circulating around various State police agencies, courtesy of DHS-sponsored "Fusion Centers." MIAC is one of those Centers, sponsored by the DHS! So now, even veterans are targets of our own government: The Homeland Security assessment specifically says that "rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat." PLEASE, don't think we're making a "big deal" out of nothing! Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban specifically told the press, "This is nothing unusual," and added that the Homeland Security Department did this "to prevent another Tim McVeigh from ever happening again." The authors of this assessment are pushing an "Us against Them" philosophy. You and I are being marginalized -- labeled as fringe kooks, "rightwing extremists," so that it will be easier to violate our liberties and take away our right to keep and bear arms in the future. The only thing that will put a STOP to this nonsense is a huge public outcry opposing it. If we do nothing, however, it will soon be too late to do anything. We either stop it NOW, or it will grow into an out-of-control monster that will monitor and control the personal opinions and speech of every man, woman, and child in this country. As patriotic Americans, we need to DEMAND that this outrageous report be CONDEMNED by our Representatives in Congress, and RETRACTED by the Obama administration -- NOW. They, along with Secretary Napolitano, owe every conservative American, every veteran and every gun owner who supports limited government an apology. Please, SELECT HERE NOW (https://secure.conservativedonations.com/usjf_demand/?a=226) to send Blast Faxes to EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS, telling them to take action against this report TODAY! Sincerely, Alan Gottlieb Chairman Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
