John, I like and appreciate your strong youtube video. Glad to know you are back and fighting.

Folks, John Faulk is the man we need in Washington D.C. I believe he will be THE representative in the 18th congressional district next year. He is a strong conservative candidate and is a man that represents high standards.

For as long as I’ve known John Faulk he has always answered my questions honestly. It is time we have a TRUE conservative on the “Hill”.

An absolute shameful waste of taxpayer dollars and time on the floor of the US Congress.

Comment on Americans remain almost deadlocked in opinion of Democrats’ health-care initiative, with 46% in favor of proposed changes & 48% opposed by Brittanicus

Of all the Immigration enforcement laws that really work E-Verify has settled in to removing illegal immigrants from the workplace. But there is a “Sunset Provision” that could determine its future, since it’s especially working for the millions of jobless Americans? Supposedly E-Verification expires on September 30, only days after a Federal judge turned down a desperate delay from the despicable Special interest lobbyists led by the US Chamber of Commerce. On September 8 E-Verify, a contingency of the SAVE ACT was fully implemented mandating that all federal contractors and sub-contractors–MUST–use this computerized identification system.
The American people must understand there is tremendous pressure on anemic members of both political parties to dismantle, store or hinder the E-Verify process as they are the puppets of rich business enterprises.

We must endeavor to continue raising our voices against the powerful forces that think nothing more than to destroy this valuable commodity called E-Verify. Over time it will rid from every workplace millions of illegal workers, who think they are safe from government intervention. It will save billions of dollars being exported to other lands and sever the tolerant welfare programs, health care, education accessed by illegal low wage earners. E-Verify could be introduced in all medical facilities, to check a persons national identity. The expedited message will spread and these lawbreakers will realize that it’s fruitless to keep on applying for jobs. Eventually families will start to pack-up and depart for every corner of the earth. But it’s up to the American voter to keep relentlessly calling the Washington switchboard 202-224-3121contacting their politicians.

Evaluate each lawmaker at NUMBERSUSA or JUDICIAL WATCH and command them to enforce E-Verify permanently. Not Voluntary for every business, but a mandatory addition for each employer. Fulfill their obligation to build the fence according to Rep. Duncan Hunter R-CA. Keep training the regular police according to the Federal 287 G directive,. Not to Rescind the No Match letter or desist ICE raids or weaken any other enforcement law, such as the 1986 Immigration Control & Reform Act. NOW IT’S UP TO YOU? STARTLING WEBSITE!

John Faulk has shown at a few rallies I have been to. Talked to him a little and like the way he sounds. He sounds honest, concerned and when some one asks him a question or he is answering one, he is not on his cell phone. He listens. Good luck, John… I am not in your district but if you want help…. drop me a line.

Comment on Tea Party Health Care Town Hall Meeting by bullwhip-biker

minderbinder33 got a permit to protest using sound amplification ie bullhorn for the ACORN march in downtown Houston on 9/03/09. When he arrived and tried to use the bull horn he was confronted by the police. Told his permit and others had been revoked by the Mayors office and he could not use amplification. This was after he went through the process, paid the fees and did it all on the up and up. The Mayors office revoked all sound permits except the ones issued to ACORN. Thus, this mans rights were trampled on. Thank you Mayor White.
