Dear Concerned American,
If you own an AR-15, and don’t want your sources of inexpensive, effective ammunition to be ripped away from you, then you absolutely must read every word of this urgent letter.
Because if you don’t act now, your AR-15 could get turned into nothing more than an expensive paper weight because you won’t ever be able to get ammunition for it again ...
This is 1,000 times worse than any ammo shortage we’ve suffered over the past few years ... 
And it affects anyone who owns guns (not just AR-15 owners, although they’re the first target as always).
In short, if you care at all about your rights as an American you must know what’s going on.
Here’s the story ...
In the dead of night on February 13, 2015, the ATF rammed through a unilateral ban on M855 “green tip” ammo. 
As if that wasn’t bad enough – the way they’ve justified their ban – they could use this same reasoning to ban all AR-15 ammunition in the near future.
In short, this is nothing more than ....

The Biggest “Back Door” Attempt At Gun Control
the Federal Government Has Ever Attempted!

And I’m counting on you today to make sure we don’t let this stand.
Here’s what you need to know ...
Obama has publically stated that his gun control failures are his “biggest frustration” ... and ... he wants Australian style gun control in the USA (universal registration and Federal confiscation) ...
So far, every direct attempt at gun control by Obama’s administration has failed ...
That’s why the ATF is trying to sneak their way in the “back door” to gun control by simply banning ammunition ...
And this new gun control measure by the ATF is aimed squarely at disarming the American public of one of the most popular types of AR-15 ammunition.

Figo The Hero

UPDATE: Service Dog Throws Himself In Front Of A Bus To Protect His Blind Human

UPDATE: Service Dog Throws Himself In Front Of A Bus To Protect His Blind Human
**UPDATE 10/27/15***
Hooray! Figo the heroic Golden Retriever has finally reunited with his human, Audrey Stone, after their harrowing experience last June left them both in serious condition. 
The two spent nearly four months of recovery apart, and will now be reevaluated to ensure that Figo is equipped to continue his work as Stone’s service dog.

“I told him he’s home, so he knows he’s home,” Stone told CBS New York, and it doesn’t seem like Figo could be any happier. Paul Schwartz, who originally arrived at the scene of the accident to offer help, says “The dog didn’t want to leave her side. He was flopping over to her, and she didn’t want him to get away from her, either.”
But Figo was not allowed inside the ambulance, and so the two unwillingly parted ways.

This golden hero has since won the ASPCA’s Dog of the Year Award for his faithful service, and seems to want nothing more than to get back on the job.

We’re so happy you’re home, Figo! Keep up the good work!

**UPDATE 6/11/15**
In more good news in the inspiring story of Figo, the service dog who threw himself in front of a bus to protect his blind human, an anonymous benefactor has paid the pup’s entire vet bill!

According to The Journal News, who talked to Dr. Angela O’Donnell (the vet overseeing Figo’s care), it is one kind person has settled the medical expenses for Figo:
“There are extraneous websites that are trying to raise money, but it’s my understanding the bill has been seen to by one donor.”
Fortunately, Figo seems to be well on the road to recovery, though he refuses to wear the cone of shame. “He’s a good boy and he’s leaving his bandage alone,” Dr. O’Donnell told The Journal. “That points to the strides he’s making. If it was bothering him more, he probably would be chewing at it.”

When Figo will reunite with his human Audrey Stone is still dependent on Stone’s recovery, though he may have to be rehomed eventually. Technically, the Guide Dog Foundation based in Smithtown are Figo’s legal owners. Andrew Rubinstein, the Foundation’s marketing director, explained further:
“Once they’re well enough, the work of the team will be assessed by one of our certified trainers. Is Figo a little timid around traffic? Is he scared to be around traffic? Or is he ready to go back full-time? If the dog is a little timid, we’d talk with Audrey about maybe retiring Figo and maybe coming back to the foundation to get a new dog. Or if the dog feels good and works well in traffic and doing their typical routes, they might need a refresher to get all their skills fine-tuned again.
  
Physically, if he bounces back 100 percent, that’s one thing. But being able to go back to work and to provide the care he provides for Audrey – navigating obstacles and working with traffic and the avoidance of traffic – there’s a good deal of assessment that goes into putting a guide-dog team out to travel. Safety is the number one thing everywhere. We want to make sure the handler and the dog are safe, no matter what they’re doing.”
The Foundation has field representatives that give a lifetime of support for guide and service dogs. 
We trust everyone to do the right thing for Stone and Figo! Either way, we wish both a full and speedy recovery!
**UPDATE 6/10/15**
Figo the service dog and his human, Audrey Stone, are both recovering nicely!

Stone recently spoke to WFSB Connecticut about the 8-year-old Golden Retriever to day that he’s giving her motivation to recover as quickly as she can:
“I thank him. I thank God that I have him and that he survived too, and I love him… I want to get home to my dog.”

Figo the service dog deserves a medal for his courage!
Audrey Stone, who is blind, was crossing the street in Brewster, New York when her dog Figo saw a mini-school bus coming. The bus wasn’t stopping, and his human was in danger, so Figo threw himself in front of the vehicle to protect her.

According to USA Today, Brewster Chief of Police John Del Gardo had nothing but admiration for the pup:
“The dog took a lot of the blow. And he did not want to leave her side. He stood right with her. He was there to save her.”
Fortunately, both Figo and Stone survived the encounter. Though Stone suffered multiple fractures and Figo needed to undergo surgery on his broken leg, both are recovering.

ALERT: Gen. James Mattis Was Fired After He Refused To Take Up Arms Against U.S. Citizens
 


One man has said no to Obama’s military style rule of the United States, and he is now paying the price for being his own man with his own integrity.

So, when this reporter inquired about his dismissal, my source very calmly said:
Mattis hates Obama, and the word is, the general really gave him hell over the NDAA, he called him a dictator.
This is in line with what another highly respected patriot said two years ago…
In January 2013, renowned author and humanitarian Dr. Jim Garrow made a shocking claim about what we can expect to see in Obama’s second term
Garrow made the following Facebook post:
I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not. Those who will not are being removed.”
So, who is that source?
Garrow replied: “The man who told me this is one of America’s foremost military heroes.”
Understand, this did not come from Alex Jones or even Glenn Beck, or from anyone else the left often dismisses with great eas
Washington Problems

 Washington has three main problems.

First the people  who run our government are out of touch, corrupt, and  follow the lead of our lying dictator!  Two examples: #1 -  Obama Sant 16 F-16s and 200 thanks to Egypy!  As this was not enough 90% of Congress voted to allow it.  #2  They stick their head in the sand, regardless of their constituency,  when they allow Obama to continue destroying America! They all know - as do all the people of the US - that the inept, anti-Constitution, homosexual, murdererer, Muslim, lying, communist, dictator that  Obama should and must be executed for high treason against America! Yeah they do nothing.

Secondly government officials  are sitting on gravy train, and they don't want to rock the boat! How do we fix it you might ask? The way to fix our government  is to change the rules! #1  all of them should be term limited. All congressman  should only be able to do their work for two terms! Also all all congressman should work  free of charge. Nearly every one of them is a lawyer, and therefore very wealthy! It is a privilege to be at congressman not a right!  In addition they will not get any of the benefits that we as Americans year! In fact if they want insurance, they can buy it themselves! Now for the really big one; there will be no retirement benefit for any of them!  Now for the really big one; there will be no retirement benefit for any of them! Right now congressman get a  right now congressmen get a retirement for life!  How absurd is that, while many of the American families are just struggling to pay for necessities, some with three or more jobs!  These rule should apply also to the executive branch and the judicial branch! This would put a tremendous dent in our Deficit and would begin to pay off our $18 trillion debt!

 Thirdly our national spending is absolutely totally out of control, AND illegal! Our forefathers  wrote into the constitution, what the federal government will be allowed to do! Two things they are responsible for! #1 The federal government is responsible to the nation, to protect American citizens from all  threats – foreign and domestic!
#2  they are charged with regulating interstate commerce such as aircraft and trucks! There are a few other minor things that they are charged with but all else must be  done by state and local government's!

 Check it out folks! It is in the Constitution of the United States of America!

Rescued Hostages


Weapons Bought - Americans


WASHINGTON/ERBIL, Iraq, Oct 22 (Reuters) - One member of a U.S. special operations team was killed during an operation to rescue hostages held by Islamic State militants in northern Iraq, the first American killed in ground combat with the militant group, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
Around 70 hostages were successfully rescued during the operation, Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said in a statement.
U.S. special operations forces were assisting Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga forces in rescuing hostages held at an Islamic State prison near Hawija, in northern Iraq, in a mission requested by the Kurdistan Regional Government, Cook said.
"Dozens" of U.S. troops were involved in the mission, a U.S. defense official said, declining to give further specifics on the number involved.
"It was a deliberately planned operation but it was also done with the knowledge that imminent action was needed to save the lives of these people," the U.S. defense official said.
The U.S. serviceman was shot during the mission and taken back to Erbil, where he died, the U.S. defense official said.
He was the first U.S. serviceman killed in ground combat operations against Islamic State, which has been the target of daily air strikes in Iraq and Syria by a U.S.-led coalition for more than a year.
Five U.S. helicopters launched from Erbil were involved in the mission, and the United States was providing helicopter lift, intelligence support, air strike support, and advisory support to the peshmerga, the U.S. defense official said. Air strikes were launched both before and after the mission to block approaches to the prison and destroy it afterward, the U.S. defense official said.
Those rescued included 20 members of Iraqi security forces, Cook said in his statement.
Five Islamic State members were detained and are in Kurdish custody, and more than 10 were killed, the U.S. defense official said.
A Reuters source in the Hawija area said the special forces raided a house where Islamic State commanders were gathering, triggering gun battles and blasts that lasted several hours.
Sheik Jaafar Mustafa, a senior commander of the Kurdish peshmerga forces, confirmed an operation had taken place but said he had no further information about it. In May, American special operations forces killed senior Islamic State leader Abu Sayyaf from Tunisia in a raid in Syria.
Hawija is a stronghold of Islamic State militants who have captured Kurdish peshmerga fighters in battles.

B-787

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-size wide-bodytwin-enginejet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Its variants seat 242 to 335 passengers in typical 3-class seating configurations. It is Boeing's most fuel-efficient airliner and is a pioneering airliner with the use of composite materials as the primary material in the construction of its airframe. The 787 was designed to be 20% more fuel efficient than the Boeing 767, which is being replaced. The 787 Dreamliner's distinguishing features include mostly electrical flight systems, swept wingtips, and noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles. It shares a common type rating with the larger Boeing 777 to allow qualified pilots to operate both models.
The aircraft's initial designation was the 7E7, prior to its renaming in January 2005. The first 787 was unveiled in a roll-out ceremony on July 8, 2007 at Boeing's Everett factory. Development and production of the 787 has involved a large-scale collaboration with numerous suppliers worldwide. Final assembly takes place at the Boeing Everett Factory in Everett, Washington, and at the Boeing South Carolinafactory in North Charleston, South Carolina. Originally planned to enter service in May 2008, the project experienced multiple delays. The airliner's maiden flight took place on December 15, 2009, and completed flight testing in mid-2011.
