Facts On Our National Debt

     Within less than one month, Congress will probably vote on whether to raise the National Debt, which has doubled over the past five years.

     The federal government borrows forty cents of every dollar it spends.  As a result of the Obama Administration's dramatic spending increases, the national debt grows at the rate of $1.6 trillion annually, (that's $120 billion each month.)

      A very significant portion of this debt is the result of the federal government doing what it was never, constitutionality or logically, structured to do.  Areas such as education are far more efficiently structured on the state and local level than on a national level.

Independence Day

The dignity and freedom of each individual is the core message of America. In this era of ever increasing power and reach by government, and ever diminishing comprehension of our "unalienable rights" by academia and the media, we at COMACTA urge all Americans to renew their dedication to the principles in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

Obama's War On Older Americans

     President Obama's most vigorously fought battle was the institution of health care legislation which raided funds destined for older Americans to provide coverage for others.  The legislation included the IPAB--the Independent Payment Advisory Board (known popularly as a "death squad" for its capability of denying services to seniors.)    Now, it has been discovered that another aspect of "Obamacare" will directly attack older Americans.  According to published reports, older Americans with similar health and income histories as their younger counterparts would pay much higher rates for the same coverage.

     Never has a Presidential administration been more divisive.  Obama has pitted the young against the old, the poor against the middle class, unions against business.

OPEN LETTER TO DELTA AIRLINES ON SAUDI ALLIANCE

                                                                               June 23, 2011

Delta Air Lines, Inc.

Atlanta Ga. 30320-6001

                                                       Re: Delta’s decision plan to add Saudi Arabian Airlines to your

                                                              Sky Team Alliance

Dear Mr. Anderson;

The decision to add Saudi Arabian Airlines to your Sky Team Alliance and thereby abide by the anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-Buddhist, anti-Hindu and anti-every other religion travel policies of the Saudi government does great discredit to your corporation. This is, in effect, an acceptance of the judenrein policy of the Saudi government.

Your decision in this matter places you in alliance with those who oppose the principles of freedom and tolerance that Americans hold dear.  Delta, by entering into this business agreement, also sends a message to other non-Muslims that that they will act as an agent for the Saudi government in enforcing laws, policies and prejudices that are repugnant, odious and profoundly anti-American.   This action is an error of such magnitude that it cannot fail to detrimentally affect your corporate and moral credibility, to the extensive detriment of your shareholders.

We urge you to reconsider this immoral and ultimately unprofitable decision.

                                                          Very truly yours,

                                                                        Frank V. Vernuccio, Jr., J.D., President

Education in Crisis

     The Community Action Civic Association (COMACTA) is deeply concerned about the lack of both quantity and quality in the teaching of American History in our schools.  The quantity speaks for itself;  statistic after statistic clearly indicates that students are not proficient in this subject so vital to the future of our nation.
    What little is taught is frequently, and horribly, bad.  Examples abound.  "The People's History of the United States," a Marxist view of the US, has been used as a text in Washington, D.C.  In Tucson, Arizona, "Occupied America," written by the radical Rodolfo Acuna, is among the prescribed texts. The book recommends the conversion of the Southwestern US into a "Chicano Nation" and advocates the killing of whites "if necessary."
     COMACTA will focus on this national crisis.  Look for future updates.
     

NY: Dead Last in Freedom

George Mason University has reported that New York ranked dead last in it's "Freedom in the States" list.

According to the study, NY's high taxes, high spending, excessive regulations, eminent domain abuse, second amendment violations, and other restrictions render it the least-free state in America.

Stop Attacking Our Military

     The relentless assault by the Obama Administration against the U.S. military has endangered both the nation, and the nation's defenders.

       The  White House's proposed  $400 billion budget cuts over the coming twelve years falls in far too great a proportion on the Department of Defense.  The potential cuts are so severe that Admiral Mullen, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has actually suggested the possibility of cutting the pay and benefits of servicemen and women.  The problem is, our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are already underpaid, and many live in substandard housing, at a time when they are being worked and deployed at an excruciating pace.

     Of course, far less dramatic cuts are threatened to a whole host of other programs that politicians hold dear;  programs that are little more than bribes to home district voters to shore up their re-election bids.

     At a Congressional hearing held on June 1, Democrats opposed the idea of making the unions representing NON-military federal employees pay for the time those employees spend on union activities, a reasonable cost-saving concept initiated by F. Vincent Vernuccio III of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.  However, those same Democrats have traditionally supported cuts in the defense budget that could lead to slashing the pay of our  service people, who, of course, are not unionized. The fact is, unions traditionally contribute heavily to the Democrats, and military personnel do not.  So the Democrat members follow the money, to the detriment of America's safety.  That's disgraceful.
