Skip to comments.Calls for Homeland Security Chief to Resign Increasing
Posted on 04/25/2009 5:03:31 AM PDT by marktwain
AXcess News) New York - Congresswoman Mary Fallin (R-OK) said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is "out of touch with mainstream America" if she believes that returning war veterans and people who believe in the Second Amendment pose a terrorism threat to the nation.
"Like most Oklahomans I was amazed at her statements and actions this week," Fallin said. "First she approved a report that implied members of the armed forces returning from combat would follow in the footsteps of Timothy McVeigh. Then she insulted our friends in Canada by falsely claiming the 9/11 terrorists came from there. Is this really a person that should be speaking on behalf of our nation?"
Napolitano noticeably demonstrates that she is incapable of protecting America from the threat of Islamic terrorism. She must be fired immediately if our country is going to be safe in the coming years, according to MoveForwardAmerica.org, an organization that supports the US military as well as federal, state and local law enforcement officials.
The latest example of her incompetence to serve as the top person at Homeland Security came when she wrongly claimed this week that the 9/11 terrorists came through Canada to launch the attack, even though not one of the radical Muslims traveled through our northern neighbor.
"How could the head of our security be so ignorant?" asks a Move Forward America press statement.
"Her earlier statement this week impugning most American conservatives, like myself, as possible terrorists set off another firestorm of criticism of the DHS Secretary," it said.
Last week, Napolitano released a report saying that returning veterans from Iraq or Afghanistan should be watched as they could become domestic conservative terrorists.
As a result of report, the FBI went so far as to film the recent tea party protests of loyal Americans because of warnings that conservatives could become terrorist threats.
Napolitano approved release of a report last week implying that a variety of groups, including veterans, pro life activists, and supporters of gun rights, could be potential anti-government terrorists. She also said Wednesday that the 9/11 terrorists entered the country from Canada, when in fact they came from overseas.
"With her ignorance about Islamic terrorism, no wonder she is wasting time examining our troops, anti-tax, pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment and other conservative groups," states Move Forward America.
"It is clear that Napolitano has no clue about the details of what happened to America on September 11, 2001. And she has offended our brave and selfless troops who have protected us since that infamous day of attacks on America's homeland. Her outlook and priorities are exactly backward and plainly dangerous.
"Napolitano is unfit to serve as secretary of Homeland Security and President Obama must fire her before she causes more damage to our country."
The non-profit organization points to Napolitano's claim that the Canadian border is a sieve for terrorists entering America, ignoring the fact that she ignored illegal immigration coming into Arizona while she was Governor. When Napolitano declared a "state of emergency," she deployed 54 National Guardsmen.
"I've seen more National Guard troops deployed for a snowstorm," said political consultant Mike Baker.
When asked if she was referring to the 9-11 terrorists coming into the US from Canada, Napolitano added: "Not just those but others as well."
Napolitano's latest gaffe irritated Canada's leaders, who reminded her that none of the 9/11 terrorists who destroyed the Twin Towers and hit the Pentagon came through Canada.
"Unfortunately, misconceptions arise on something as fundamental as where the 9-11 terrorists came from," said Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador in Washington.
"As the 9-11 commission reported in 2004, all of the 9-11 terrorists arrived in the United States from outside North America. They flew to major U.S. airports. They entered the U.S. with documents issued by the United States government and no 9-11 terrorists came from Canada."
"We don't think it is that hard to tell the difference from our neighbors in Canada and Islamic terrorists. But what could you expect from someone who thinks that returning troops from Iraq and Afghanistan are a great threat to America. How utterly outrageous!" said the Move America Forward press statement.
She hasn't resigned yet? WTF is she waiting for?
The former Jack Napolitano needs to be sent packing.
So far it's only Republicans asking her to resign I think. If a prominent Dem asked her to step down you would know her job is in serious jeopardy.
Come on markTwain,
Don't ya feel safer just knowing Janet Napolitano is head of our homeland security?
Yes, she should resign or be fired. Her obvious lack of concern for certain segments of the population says it all. She is not doing her job.
Isn't it true that she sent (as Governor) the National Guard to the border without any weapons? And if she resigns, does she come back to AZ? (shudder)
Janet's not the problem, boys and girls.
She KNOWS what she and her ilk have in store for us.
She has figured out that we're LIKELY to revolt, and she has ACCURATELY figured out who is most likely to be the "problem" for this buncha Facists.
Welcome to the militia.
Lock and load—We won't have time to vote again.
The Dyke should get on her trike and get out of town.
cc: Director, Homeland Security - She is going to see this ;-)
She should resign.
No, she is doing her job. She is no rogue. She is singing the Party Line. Don't kid yourself, this is top down. This has Rahm and crowd's fingerprints all over it.
The sad thing is, after she gets the heave ho everyone will walk away thinking we're safe. Problem solved. The same planning will continue, we just won't know about it.
Singing the party line is not doing your job. She is there to protect all Americans; therefore she is not doing her job.
Just saw on FoxNews the head of American Legion describing Napolitano's `apology' to his organization.
Details of the `apology', anyone? Sounds phony to this vet.
Both those men are ugly.
There's no resemblance really other than they are both men.
Seems like a win/win to me. She gets kicked out of this position and Arizona is free of her! Hence, we all win a little in the fight against illegal immigration w/o her fighting us for the other side
My point is, she is doing what BO put her there to do. And this is a point that seems to escape most of America, including the American Legion.
This comes all the way from the top, and just getting rid her is like putting a band aid on a melanoma.
LOL, you both get a cigar!
We all are aware of why she was put there; but she needs to do the job.
We all need to flood DC with emails and letter and DEMAND she be fired. She puts us in serious danger.
If we can keep them a bit off balance then , hopefully, we can delay the action of their plans until we can vote Biggie O out. JMO
I think she should stay where she is. After all, she didn't write the memo. This stuff comes from the top (Rahm and Soros). She's just the guy with diarhhea of the mouth that is showing their hand.
She proved to us that our suspicions about this administration are not just paranoid delusions. She's like a VC leader that comes into a village and says, "In two days, I'm coming back with troops and killing all of you." Anyone that doesn't heed that kind of warning deserves what they get.
As far as protecting America goes, I think we all know that the purpose of Homeland Security in the Obamanation is not to defend against external terrorism. They consider the people at Tea parties to be a much greater threat to the Reich. I prefer to keep an idiot at the top of DHS for as long as possible.
I like "up close" and "personal", and I don't need a license.
Yep. I don't know why some people are waiting for her to get fired. It's not as if her seeing us as a threat is different from her boss' viewpoint. Were she to get fired, it would merely be for appearance.
Hurricane season & the swine-flu pandemic...You know,...Man-caused disasters....
She was appointed politically so she would do/say what BO etc. told her to. In their eyes, she's doing her job.
But in the eyes of America the Beautiful, she is woefully inadequate.
Some pundit-pit person on FOX said she needed time to get used to the job and essentially, needed to learn how to do her job...poor Janet. Give her a chance.
Ummmm-hello? This is about America's security. There is no OJT allowed for this position. EVER.
She is being micro-managed from the top, plain and simple.
My Rottie would be better as Head of Homeland Security. And he's cuter too @;-)
A place frequented by bitter clingers and veterans (or likely potential dometic terrorists in their way of thinking).
Just because she is "doing her job" for the democrat/Obama party - does not mean we ignore her.
She must go - we are unsafe with such a woman in control of our Homeland Security. She doesn't even know where terrorists came from.
Get her out. The least Obama can do is "try" to protect his countrymen to a small degree. Taking on 50% of the countrymen and calling them possible terrorists is a mite ignorant to say the least.
But, you cave far too easily. Are we to sit here and just take it because it comes from the top?
What are your solutions other than a massive coup?
What is wrong with you people?
Do you want a "cheap" takeover of the country with no effort by the millions of us to keep our America free?
Are you from DU promoting the idea that it is useless to protest because "The One" is in power?
We need fighters here - not critics and complainers or propagandists.
Exactly what action do you suggest - other than giving up and allowing Obama free reign to take down America?
Are you a DU plant?
Trying to deflat any opposition to "The One"?
I am highly suspicious of those "conservatives"(????) who promote no resistance to the destruction of our country and our safety.
Sounds a little like the Germans during Hitler's time. How stupid do you have to be to exist without worry during a coup of the country?
OTOH, what is listed are patriotic, Constitution-loving, Christian Americans -- who are feared by the marxist regime that has usurped all branches of our Federal Government and is destroying America.
Did you even read my whole post?
DHS will be the US version of the KGB. When Bush created it, I was scared because I knew that one day the Dems would control it. I was just saying that I'd rather have an idiot that can't keep her mouth shut in charge of the KGB than someone that is effective.
I too am worried about a coup, but I realize that it has already happened. The Marxists took over without a shot fired by educating the children, infiltrating the bureaucracy, and making enough people dependent on the government. Most churches even toe the party line on social issues these days.
ACORN and the courts will make sure that fair elections are impossible, as long as the government can maintain the ratio of producers to looters at about 1:1. That is their primary goal!
I'd rather put DHS back under Defense where it should be than worry about the resignation of an idiot.
When you think about it, most of the DHS RWE memo is true anyway, as long as you use the liberal definition of Right Wing Extremist. I went down their list and I'm 100% a RWE according to them, including the veteran part.
I'm quite proud to be a RWE. I was a RWE when Clinton was in the WH. I was a RWE under Bush and I complained about his socialist programs. I would have been a RWE if McCain had been elected too. No one is more committed to opposing "The One" than me, but I'm keeping my eye on the big picture and ignoring the sideshow events like Napolitano.
I still think that she did us a favor by putting us on notice that We The People are now the enemy of the government, while foreign terrorists are no longer considered a threat.
Our son just recently completed 4 years in the Army. The experience made him more level headed and mature than I would have imagined. His former HS classmates are either just getting out of college or still hanging around at home. Their brains are more full of mush than they were 4 years ago.
It really made my blood boil to read the DHS memo.
But, you cave far too easily. Are we to sit here and just take it because it comes from the top?
You are misinterpreting my comments if you believe I mean caving. By all means, she must go, 100% political crucifixion. My belief is that it is a big mistake to think that by itself changes anything. If we can't make it widely known that her actions are merely the wishes of those at the top, we aren't accomplishing much. They will still continue without so much as a pause. These people are coming after us and it's going to take more than her resignation to stop them.
What are your solutions other than a massive coup?
Fair question. Well, for one thing, waiting for the 2012 election is going to be too late. We will not overcome the level of voter fraud that is going to be institutionalized by that time. Very few of us realize how seriously and methodically the Dems are preparing to steal the national elections in 2010 and 2012. They are not giving up power. After that a coup may be the only option (won't happen, most Americans are bought and paid for), though IMO some states seceding would be a good thing, which is unlikely.
What I do believe is that unless the (elected) Republicans become very, very aggressive politically and seriously gum up the works in the legislature, large scale civil disobedience will be necessary to change the current course of events. And I have 0% faith/hope that our so called Senators will do squat. Can you see Mitch McConnell (aka No Onions) leading a shut down of the Senate?
I pretty much agree with you, except for this point.
I may be giving them too much credit, or I may be in need of a tin foil hat, but I suspect this whole thing had some level of premeditation and orchestration. Rahm et al are using this as a sort of trial balloon to gauge the reaction of the people. Do they go forward at full speed now, or do they back off publicly and do it more subtly and incrementally? They are testing the waters.
That's why I believe we should nail this slime to the wall, but also understand that this alone will not fundamentally change the plans of these people.
Woman didn't even know that we were going to be invaded by swine flu. What a useless old bag.
Some Homeland Security. Open borders, and the only thing this old dyke is worried about is veterans and conservatives.
Dennis Miller said she and Frank Luntz have the same hairdo. They kinda do look like they were separated at birth.
Good post.
We face bleakness but you can never count the American people out. The Tea Parties surprised many with the large turnouts.
All that when I felt all were caving to Obama.
We may see a very large anti-government sweep that could do more than any one candidate.
WHEN will we be rid of this ignorant slut? NOTE: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says Congress shall make no law.... The 2nd say shall NOT be infringed! Period! End of debate!

PDEs occur in various engineering disciplines. In developing visualization strategies, we considered only problems involving a spatially independent variable x (or in cylindrical coordinates, r) and the temporal variable t, which is also an independent variable. Given that the solutions are functions of two variables - x (or r) and t - the solution's character is difficult for engineering students and practitioners to understand. We've explored several visualization strategies, employing extensive graphics to appeal to the graphical learners among us. Here we present parts of the solutions to three typical engineering problems selected from the 20 we've addressed.

Product Description
From Amazon
Light marks that fine writer M John Harrison's first return to the heartland of SF--including spaceships and hair-raising interstellar chases--since his apocalyptic anti-space opera The Centauri Device (1975).
The heavy SF action begins in 2400. Space-going humanity is the latest of many civilizations to be baffled by the impenetrable Kefahuchi Tract; that vast stellar region where an unshielded singularity makes physics itself unreliable. Along its accessible fringe, the "Beach", solar systems are littered with crazy, abandoned devices used to probe the Tract since before life began on Earth. A whole dead-end culture is based on beachcombing this rubble of industrial archaeology...
25th-century characters include a woman who's sacrificed almost everything to merge with the AI "mathematics" of a crack military spacecraft; a former daredevil who once surfed black holes but has retreated into a virtual reality tank; the lady proprietor of the Circus of Pathet Lao, with an alien freakshow and a hidden agenda; and a variety of raunchy, smelly, gene-sculpted lowlife, some comic, some menacing. Many are not what they seem.
Meanwhile in 1999 London, physicists Kearney and Tate--remembered in 2400 as the fathers of interstellar flight--are getting nowhere. Kearney's personal problems occupy familiar Harrison territory: urban paranoia, a seedily unreliable guru, bad sex, guilty rituals to propitiate a metaphysical-seeming threat called the Shrander--a pursuing image out of nightmare. In the lab, both Kearney and Tate fear the increasing quantum strangeness of their results.
The cosmological wonders and hazards of the Beach form a backdrop to space pursuits and violent skirmishes whose duration is measured in nanoseconds, reported in tensely lyrical prose. Eventually everything comes together as it should--even that oppressive 1999 story strand--with revelations, transformation, transcendence, and ultimate hope. Harrison demands your full attention and rewards it richly. --David Langford --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
From Publishers Weekly
Harrison's talent for brilliant, reality-bending SF is on display yet again with this three-tiered tale, published (and highly praised) in the U.K. in 2002. It's 1999, and British scientist Michael Kearney and his American partner, Brian Tate, are studying laboratory quantum physics; unbeknownst to them, they'll become the fathers of interplanetary travel. Kearney nervously holds a pair of predictive dice he's stolen from a frightening specter called the Shrander, whom he keeps at bay by committing random murders. Four hundred years in the future, K-ship captain Seria Mau Genlicher has gravely erred in splicing herself with a hijacked spacecraft called the White Cat—and now she wants out. There's also Ed Chianese, a burned-out interstellar surfer now spending his life within a reality simulation machine. His problem? Monetary debt to the nasty Cray sisters. As Kearney continues to narrowly evade the Shrander, he discovers that company CEO Gordon Meadows has sold the lab to Sony. All three story lines converge and find heavenly closure at the cosmological wonder known as the Kefahuchi Tract, a wormhole with alien origins bordered by a vast, astral "beach" where time and space are braided and interchangeable. This is space opera for the intelligentsia, as Harrison (Things That Never Happen) tweaks aspects of astrophysics, fantasy and humanism to hum right along with the blinking holograms in a welcome and long overdue return.

The serial killer plot was a little redundant and unnecessary, though did present one of the few sympathetic characters in the book (the ex-wife), but as for the other two their amorality wasn't a big problem for me - antiheroes are usually much more interesting characters than heroes. The story itself wasn't all that compelling, though it did wrap up reasonably well if a little too sappy considering the nihilistic tone of the rest of the book.
Harrison is a good visual writer, and some parts of the book were quite funny (I especially liked the idea of the New Men who worshipped 20th century junk culture), but one flaw of the book was a feeling of being too rooted in the present, i.e. throwing a lot of quirkiness window-dressing that just felt a little contrived, such as a roving gang dressed as Japanese high school girls, hardly the kind of thing to be expected on a world centuries in the future and thousands of light-years away.
Now, if this book was intended as a kind of darker version of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, it'd be a more enjoyable read.
Every second chapter is set in the future, where this scientist is revered as an Einsteinian genius who made quantum travel possible, i.e. space ships zipping at many times warp speed to distant galactic regions, in particular a cluster of gas clouds, stars and black holes known as the Kefahuchi Tract (akin to the Milky Way's galactic centre). There, humans and miscellaneous alien races repeatedly send suicide missions into the wormholes of the tract ... through which may be answers to new sets of riddles about the universe and its creators. And every third chapter focuses on a pilot, Chinese Ed, who has the skill to work the 14 dimensions and perhaps break on through to the other side.
Similiar big-picture themes to Contact in many ways, only written with cyberpunk attitude and bone-dry black humour. I subsequently tried Harrison's companion novel, Nova Swing, but found its film-noir style & single-pointed focus disappointing.
Light suffers from problems typical of recent sci-fi: a reliance on cod science, with masses of simplistic jargon apparently designed to baffle us into thinking it's intelligent; airy plotlines that fall apart upon analysis; emotionally crippled, unconvincing, two-dimensional characters largely indistinguishable from one another, and really dreadful names. Try these for size: Tig Vesicle (!) and (oh, double moan!) Billy Anker. Billy Anker??!! I guess Mr harrison thinks that's a very clever joke. It isn't. It's infantile and simply highlights harrison's lack of self-belief. (A bit of a Billy himself, one has to assume).
This is the first book I've read of his.It will definitely be the last. Mr Harrison is a very small writer who's work would never see the light of day outside of sci-fi. He should go back to doing what he does best - whatever that may be. Something in common with Billy Anker, I would guess.

Show Summary
Based on the beloved animated Disney movie of the same name, Disney's The Lion King tells the tale of a young cub who flees his home after being convinced by his scheming uncle that he was responsible for his father Mufasa's death.
Broadway Show Review
Though some aspects of this Broadway musical adaptation of the original film still seem a bit too cartoonish, the African-inspired music composed specifically for the show and director/designer Julie Taymor's breathtaking puppetry and gorgeous stage effects make The Lion King Disney's most innovative stage show so far.

Already booked for your dates? Please see our brand new listing Homeaway #3844729.
This is a remodeled Victorian town house with sun filled bay windows. It is on a quiet residential street, yet as centrally located as it gets. The Capitol complex and the Supreme Court are only three blocks away. 'Restaurant Row', a stretch of Massachusetts Avenue with numerous restaurants, is only one block away. The National Mall, Smithsonian Museums, and the Newseum are all within walking distance. You will not need a car. Built in 1890 and renovated in 2010, the house combines historic charm with a modern layout. It has a completely open floor plan on the main level. It is furnished comfortably for a family of four (five if counting a crib) without cramming. Larger families may want to consider a combined rental of this property with the ground floor flat in the same structure (HomeAway #340015). The main house and ground floor flat are totally independent, with separate entrances and mechanical systems.
Your rental includes a free permit for street parking. However, due to our proximity to the major tourist attractions we recommend not renting a car. Should you need a rental vehicle for a day to visit out-of-town sites, there are rental car offices minutes from the house.
PLEASE NOTE, WE DO NOT ADVERTISE ON CRAIGSLIST. If you came across the content of our listing on Craigslist, it is a fake ad.
How Reservations Work:
We recommend using the 'Book it Now' button, which will confirm availability and provide a detailed quote before you reach the screen on which you are asked to commit. We book with the $150 cleaning fee, and the balance is due 30 days before arrival. All payments are self-service, via credit card or e-check using HomeAway's secure payments page, and you do not need to provide us credit card information.
Arrival and Departure Logistics: Check out time is 11AM, check in time 3PM. This is to allow time for the cleaners if there is a same-day change-over. If either time poses an issue please let us know, as a it is often possible to make alternative arrangements with the cleaners.
We use a code lock, so there is no need to mail or drop off keys, and you can arrive at any time of night.
My wife and I are both management consultants who have traveled widely for decades, and have developed a strong sense of what we like in a locale and in accommodations. We actively manage our vacation rentals as a future retirement plan, but we select and prepare them by asking a simple test question -- would we be happy to live in them ourselves?
Alec Smyth purchased this townhome in 2010
There is a lot to see in Washington, with over fifty museums, but unfortunately we feature the very longest commutes in the nation. The museums have no parking, which may be a deliberate strategy to reduce the number of cars. Capitol Hill is the area immediately surrounding the US Capitol, and because it is a historical conservation neighborhood of small houses that cannot be altered, it contains almost no hotels. By staying at a home on the Western edge of Capitol Hill, you are closer to the sites than at a hotel, and free from the hassles of commuting because everything is within walking distance. Quite aside from the convenience of the location, both house and neighborhood are charming.
I have just returned from spending 7 nights in this property. It was an absolutely perfect location for seeing all the sights of DC.
Yes you can walk to the Capital, Supreme Court and the Library of Congress. It is also very close to Union Station which makes it so
convenient to take the Circulator Buses to the monuments and museums on the mall as well as George Town. There are so many small restaurants within a short walking distance as well as a small grocery store. It is an extremely safe area. The condo is wonderful we could not have been happier.
I would definitely stay in this lovely condo again.
A nice brownstone that is a 5 minute walk to the Capitol. My 11 year old son loved his room and the location is hard to beat with many good local restaurants within 10 minutes. Additionally, we took advantage of the grill/patio area behind the home. Highly recommended by my family and I.
What a wonderful place! This beautiful home is close to all the attractions. We were able to walk or bike to all the sites very easily. Uber was another speedy option to get around quickly, but we really only needed it at night or if it rained. The backyard is really cute too. I loved being able to have my coffee on the back deck every morning:))))))
Close proximity to public transportation. Home was clean and had everything we needed. Noisy in the mornings and during the day but quiet and peaceful when ready to unwind at night. Watch out for the street sweeper signs, we got a ticket for not moving our car, once we arrived we walked everywhere or caught the bus and it wasn't stressed in our email that you needed to move your car or you will get a ticket. It is an older town home but well done but noisy when walking in house. Book left in home had great tips on groceries and some restaurants and valuable websites for the sights. We would stay here again if we returned to DC.
We stayed at the row house for 4 nights in May 2016.
The location of the row house is excellent. Once you are familiar with the area it is extremely easy to get around. Union Station is only a 10 minute walk. From Union Station you can catch the subway and the hop-on hop-off tours.
The unit is well equipped. The beds are comfortable and the unit is very clean. Remember that the building is old and that the stairs are steep and the floors are slightly sloped. We had everything we could want or need. The BBQ and outdoor space is an added bonus.
I would definitely stay here again, if we were to visit the DC area.
We rented this house in early May for five nights. I really cannot say enough good things about this rental. Five blocks to Union Station. Three blocks from many restaurants, a boutique wine shop, and a small well stocked neighborhood market. Six blocks from Eastern Market (also on the Metro), a gourmet retail supply house that carries every imaginable kind of meat, vegetables, fruits, and other foodstuff stock that home chefs will likely compare to the markets they would find in Paris. Five blocks to the Capitol and Supreme Court, the beginning of the Washington Mall. The house itself is immaculately kept with fireplace, television, two upstair bedrooms and two baths. When I called Alec to say that I couldn't find cable television, he was over in a jiffy to reconfigure the setup, which apparently had been changed by the previous tenant. A very nice and accommodating man. The kitchen is fully equipped; although we prefer to eat out, the combination of the availability of Eastern Market and the nice dining area overlooking a charming neighborhood, proved to be an irresistible bonus. If you like noise, traffic, sirens and the crazy buzz of Washington D.C., perhaps you would prefer the Dupont Circle area, but this neighborhood shows how quiet and peaceful Washington can be, yet only a short walk to everything else you would expect from the nation's capital. One last thing: this is a walking area. Everyone walks--and one feels safe, a very upscale area.
The house is located on a quiet friendly street less than half a block from Stanton Park and one block from Restaurant Row, a block of restaurants with tables right on the sidewalk. Capitol Hill is a historical conservation neighborhood of beautifully maintained, charming old houses. It has a small-town feel and a human scale, is cosmopolitan, and has a thriving cultural scene. The residential area closest to Washington's institutions, it is home to a large number of politicians and VIPs.
Other Activities: US Capitol, Smithsonian Museums, Library of Congress, Supreme Court, National Archives, Newseum, Folger Shakespeare Library

Lincoln to be honored with a special $1 coinBreaking News
The Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Coin Act (P.L. 109-285) was signed into law on 27 September 2006. This law directs the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins to commemorate the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. These coins should be representative of Lincoln's life and legacy. The Treasury can only mint up to 500,000 of the one-dollar coins and they are to be distributed for only one year, beginning 1 January 2009. Representative Ray LaHood of Illinois introduced P.L. 109-285 in the House back in June of 2005.

Reviews for Freedom Alliance
Freedom alliance has been nothing but helpful during a rough time in our lives. They provided a wonderful Christmas for my children. the staff are super caring and nice. They have been great.
My name is Chris, I am a former Infantry Solider with the U.S. Army
I am the father of two children, an 8yo Daughter and 3yo Son. This year is a hard one for us financially due to my wife's schooling. My wife is currently attending PLU for nursing and the tuition is enormous even with financial aid.
A few months ago I received an email from my Wounded Warriors Advocate about Freedom Alliance and their Presents For Patriots Program. That Email was a saving grace. We applied and were accepted by a sponsor. This means a great deal to me and my wife. Christmas has always been my favorite holiday cause it reminds me of my grandparents and how they always went above and beyond to make a great Christmas, and with the help Freedom Alliance I too can give my kids great memories of the holidays.
On a personal note, As a Veteran I am so glad to see that there are people still out there helping our Soldiers (past and present). With all the negative things happening in and out of our country it is nice to know there are still Good-Doers out there.
God Bless
God bless,

While I was stationed at Fort Sam Houston in the Warrior Transition Unit I was put in to go on a trip with Freedom Alliance by my case manager. Freedom Alliance took my wife, 6 months old daughter and myself to Panama City Beach, Florida for what I would consider the best activity I have done with any non profit that helps wounded veterans. On this trip they gave a $1000 to do activities, which is significant because we didn't have a lot to spend on the trip, and then they hired a nanny for one day so me and my wife could go do something by ourselves. They also rented each family that was there a rental car so we had a car to get around in. This organization is such a great organization they go above beyond to help out our service men an women.

Freedom Alliance has helped me amd my family during a time of need. I am pending a medical discharge due to things that happened overseas. The money was tight to say the least and my family had to save to deal with our transition out of the military; as well as pay of debt. Freedom Alliance insured that my kids would not notice the struggle that my family is going through with the presents they are donating for this years Christmas. As a veteran I am so use to helping people and it's hard to ask for help. They insured me not to be ashamed of asking for help and treated me with the utmost respect. I am truly thankful for what they have done for me and would write a thousand more reviews if I could. It's hard for service members to ask for help because we are the ones who do the helping. To be honest it feels awkward for me to ask but they made it easy.
I was fortunate enough to attend a pheasant hunt with Freedom Alliance this last weekend. There were 4 veterans of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars invited to come. We all hit it off great from the time we met in the airport. It was like reconnecting with old friends. The trip was amazing and helped heal a lot of wounds. There was a Vietnam veteran there at the ranch named Richard and it was very cool to bond with him. Jim Stewart, Carl, Keith, and Adam made the trip a memorable one and we all got along like family. If I could ever have dreamed up a hunting trip to go on, it would have been exactly like this one. Thanks to Pepper at Freedom Alliance for organizing the trip. To be with my fellow war-fighters during this trip filled a gap I had in my life and I am sure we will continue to be in touch with each other in the future. I came home feeling whole, which is something I haven't felt in a long time. Thanks to all those who made it possible.

I had one of the best times of my life on the fishing trip provided by Freedom Alliance. I am a Viet Nam veteran and until this point no one has shown me the kindness and gratitude for my service. The trip down the Rogue River wonderful, scenery was great and the representative for Freedom Alliance was attentive to our individual needs. Although I am not experienced in fishing the boat captains provided us with excellent instruction on how to fish the river. The mixture of white water made it very exciting and the fishing was great ( I caught 19 fish). The various loges we stayed at were excellent and the food great. Also mixing with the veterans from my era and those from recent wars was a great experience. I enjoyed their comradely and friendships developed during the trip and am keeping in touch with many of them, I will cherish the time spent with them.

Ryan and Alicia Behm did an amazing job at insuring the whole trip went smoothly! We would like to thank Freedom Alliance for this once and a life time trip for my wife and I , that we will remember and cherish forever! We honestly can not send enough gratitude towards this organization and everyone that supports it. Thank you all very much!

I had the pleasure to be included on a trip hosted by Freedom Alliance. This was a trip of a lifetime. From beginning to end the entire experience was world class. The Freedom Alliance staff was exceptionally well organized and left no detail unpolished.
The adventure itself was a reunion of sorts. I was severely wounded in Iraq and was reunited with my platoon mates. The time spent with these American Heroes was priceless. These warriors were flown in from all over the U.S. and given the royal treatment. We spent 4 days in the Colorado Rockies fishing and catching up on a decade of lost time.
Freedom Alliance gave me and my comrades the type of therapy that you cannot get from a doctor. I am forever in your debt.
Thanks for everything that you have done and continue to do. America needs more organizations like yours.

Hepatitis B virus reactivation in breast cancer patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy: A prospective study

Breast cancer is a rapidly increasing problem in many developing countries, and cytotoxic chemotherapy is now an integral part of its management. In several developing countries, the carriage of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in cancer patients may be as high as 12%, and such patients are at risk of developing fatal HBV reactivation during chemotherapy. HBV reactivation is well recognized in patients with hematological malignancies, but limited data are available on patients with other, more common, cancers, such as breast cancer. Recent data have suggested that increased viral replication, an indication of HBV reactivation, may precede clinical hepatitis. In the absence of serial HBV DNA monitoring, HBV reactivation during chemotherapy may have been underestimated. In this prospective study, breast cancer patients who were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seropositive were followed up during chemotherapy. The main objectives were to determine the incidence of HBV reactivation in breast cancer patients undergoing conventional chemotherapy; to investigate whether "serial HBV DNA monitoring" improves the accuracy of diagnosing HBV reactivation when compared with previous schema that only measured HBV DNA at the time of clinical hepatitis ("conventional monitoring"); and to assess the clinical consequences as a result of developing the condition. The secondary objective was to identify risk factors associated with this condition. Over an 18-month period, 41 patients were studied. Ten developed HBV reactivation by conventional monitoring criteria, but with serial HBV DNA monitoring, seven additional patients were diagnosed when increased HBV DNA levels were detected before, but not concomitant with, clinical hepatitis. Thus, a total of 17 patients (41%) developed HBV reactivation. Premature termination of chemotherapy or delay in treatment schedules occurred in 71% of the patients who developed viral reactivation, as compared with 33% in those who did not develop the condition (P = 0.019). No risk factors associated with the development of HBV reactivation could be identified. Serial monitoring of HBV DNA, in addition to liver function, increases the sensitivity of diagnosing of HBV reactivation, and helps explain some cases that would otherwise be labeled as "cryptogenic hepatitis," for which concomitant HBV DNA measured at the time of hepatitis was undetectable. The present study highlights the importance of monitoring HBsAg-seropositive patients who are receiving chemotherapy for common solid tumors such as breast cancer. J. Med.
