DO you oppose the UN? Agenda 21? Open borders? Obamacare? Do you carry a constitution? Do you consider yourself a sovereign citizen? Do you hate taxes? Do you prefer to pay your restaurant bill with cash?<\/p>\n<p>Instead of wasting time bashing Muslims, people had better wake up and take their own government to task for targeting THEM as terrorists. Read the following and sign the petition to get these special interest groups out of our system, groups that are targeting patriots, conservatives, constitutionalists, and Christians as &#8216;terrorists&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>From American Policy Center&#8217;s Tom DeWeese,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A renewed drive to label all freedom activists as \u201cterrorists\u201d has been launched by the far Left.  <\/p>\n<p>Included in this email is a petition to Rep. Michael McCaul (TX), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.  Your petition demands an immediate investigation into the activities of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s urgent that Chairman McCaul hear from you today.<\/p>\n<p>The reason: The Southern Poverty Law Center is working directly with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to silence the growing freedom movement.<\/p>\n<p>You may recall that a couple of years ago the Southern Poverty Law Center helped write a report for the Missouri Fusion Center (MIAC) labeling (among other things) anyone who voted for presidential candidate Ron Paul to be a potential terrorist.   <\/p>\n<p>That report was followed by another report called the \u201cDomestic Extremism Lexicon,\u201d issued by the Department of Homeland Security, that said supporters of any of the following views are \u201cpotential terrorists:\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opposition to NAFTA<br \/>\nOpposition to the UN<br \/>\nAnti-abortion<br \/>\nBelieve in the End Times<br \/>\nOppose same sex marriage<br \/>\nOppose sending US jobs overseas<br \/>\nExpress antagonism toward the Obama Administration<br \/>\nAnd much more\u2026<\/p>\n<p>This report targeted you! It was written with help from the Southern Poverty Law Center for the government.<\/p>\n<p>Now the Southern Poverty Law Center has issued a new report targeting me and the American Policy Center, the TEA Party Movement, and many more \u2013 calling us racists \u2013 and connecting us to radical, anti-government militias and white supremacists.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously those charges are not true \u2013 but the Southern Poverty Law Center is working directly with the Department of Homeland Security to push for a government effort to suppress our movement.<\/p>\n<p>Worse, the SPLC runs the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. It is one of the most visible links between the Department of Homeland Security and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Law enforcement agencies send their personnel to be trained by SPLC instructors. They are trained to watch for potential terrorists \u2013 like you and me!<\/p>\n<p>In fact, this is one reason why early reporting of the Boston Marathon bombing hinted that it was done by right wingers.<\/p>\n<p>One reporter, David Sirota, said, \u201cIf you care about everything from stopping war to reducing the defense budget, to protecting civil liberties, to passing immigration reform, you should hope the bomber was a white domestic terrorist.\u201d   <\/p>\n<p>That rhetoric is straight from the Southern Poverty Law Center propaganda against Conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why there was a deadly attack at the Family Research Council two years ago. FRC was directly targeted by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a dangerous hate group because they oppose abortions.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the Southern Poverty Law Center is dangerous to freedom.       <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s urgent that we demand Congressional investigation into the activities of the Southern Poverty Law Center and its attempts to crush our right to speak out.  They receive federal funds \u2013 just like ACORN \u2013 and they are much more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Sign your petition now!<\/p>\n<p>Chairman McCaul has said that his mission \u201cis to fix the Department of Homeland Security to ensure it\u2019s capable of carrying out its core mission of protecting the homeland.\u201d He can\u2019t do that if DHS is contracting with a dangerous hate group like SPLC.  Now with Republicans firmly in charge of both Houses of Congress,  I believe Chairman McCaul will give you and me a fair hearing against the SPLC threat.  <\/p>\n<p>If he receives enough demands for a hearing \u2013 I\u2019m sure he will do it. You and I must force those hearings \u2013 our freedom depends on it!<\/p>\n<p>To get that hearing \u2013 we need at least 10,000 signed petitions<\/p>\n<p>Just recently the SPLC issued a new report entitled \u201cThe Year in Hate and Extremism.\u201d The article listed several conservative leaders as examples of hate, including &#8212;->>> Senator Rand Paul, the Oath Keepers, and my friends, Pastor Chuck Baldwin, and former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack <<<----   to name a few.\n\nIn addition, the SPLC charges that anyone who opposes the UN\u2019s Agenda 21 is also part of the \u201cradical right.\u201d  And they have named me specifically in that charge.   \n\nSign your petition now!\n\nThe SPLC is a dangerous group, guilty of the hate it claims to fight. It is trying to take away the Constitutional rights of Americans who simply don\u2019t agree with the radical left positions of the SPLC.\n\nAnd that kind of threat from a private group like SPLC has no place inside the Department of Homeland Security.    \n\nThe fact is, SPLC  wouldn\u2019t be a threat to you and me, except for the fact that it\u2019s so closely tied to one of the federal government\u2019s most powerful  agencies \u2013 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).\n\nAnd that\u2019s why Congress must investigate those ties and influence SPLC has over government policy.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/americanpolicy.wufoo.com\/forms\/petition-to-committee-on-homeland-security\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/americanpolicy.wufoo.com\/forms\/petition-to-committee-on-homeland-security\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Homeland Security is out of control and being directed by the enemy!
