Join us for a free movie and pizza night. We’ll be viewing the Rick Santorum movie, Our Sacred Honor. The film explores the meaning of our founding documents, the intentions of those who drafted these documents and the relationship between the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Rick Santorum helps tell this story through visits to many of our nation’s historic places that marked our country’s beginning.

This would be an excellent family night to share with your children or grandchildren. The movie is about 45 minutes long and will be a great history lesson for all of us. We’ve got 2 Rick Santorum Patriot Voices Tee Shirts and Rick Santorum’s book “American Patriots, Answering the Call to Freedom”, to give as door prizes. Please share this with anyone that would be interested in joining us.

It is critical that we get the real danger of the proposed Constitutional Convention out to Hoosiers and to people in other states. We need to let our Representatives know the danger of what Senator David Long is trying to do. Listen to this speech given by Senator Mike Delph on the Senate floor and then share it with your family and friends. It needs to go viral. Also call your Representative tomorrow at 317-232-9600 and let them know you do NOT want to open our precious Constitution. This youtube is making a difference so keep it going!!!

Mark your calendars and join Hoosier parents, teachers and students in support of putting kids first! The 2013 Ed Reform Rocks Rally is set for Monday, March 11th, 12 Noon at the Indiana Statehouse. Governor Pence will be speaking.

If we don’t stop the indoctrination and take over of our children we will have lost in the fight for freedom. Please take a look at this website and 5 short videos to learn about the program taking over our schools called COMMON CORE CURRICULUM.

Pass this along. Make 2013 the year to fight indoctrination in our schools. NO COMMON CORE, NO IB, NO Race to the Top, NO Outcome Based Education. Lets get back to the 3 R’s instead of the 3 E’s.

What Is The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI)?

CCSSI is the effort that created and is attempting to impose on states a set of national K-12 standards (Common Core). Common Core was developed primarily by a nonprofit called Achieve, Inc., in Washington, D.C., under the auspices of the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The Standards cover mathematics and English language arts (although they also claim to cover “literacy” in other subjects such as science, history/social studies, and technical subjects). Currently, two consortia of states have accepted hundreds of millions in federal money to create national tests to align with the Standards.

Neither the National Governors Association nor Council of Chief State School Officers (which are merely trade associations with private membership lists) had a grant of legislative authority from the states to develop national standards. In fact, Common Core was written by the same progressive education reformers who have been trying to impose a national curriculum for decades. This time, they were savvy enough to invoke the “cover” of National Governors Association so they could paint Common Core as a “state-led” effort. To the extent states had any input, it was limited to offering suggestions that may or may not have been accepted by the people in control.

The U.S. Department of Education (USED) did not create the Standards, but it was deeply involved in the effort to gather together the various trade associations and private foundations to do the work that USED wanted done.

Once Common Core was created, USED “persuaded” the states to adopt it by tying adoption to the opportunity to obtain Race to the Top (RTTT) funding. No Common Core, no RTTT money. (Since then, USED has also attempted to lure states into the Common Core by dangling No Child Left Behind waivers as a reward for adopting the national Standards and national tests.

USED is funding the national tests that are being created by two testing consortia (called SMARTER Balanced and PARCC – Indiana is a member of PARCC). Obviously, what’s on the PARCC test will dictate what is taught in Indiana classrooms – in other words, it will dictate curriculum. So by funding the tests, USED will eventually control the Indiana curriculum – in violation of three federal statutes.

DISAPPOINTED, DISGUSTED, CONCERNED BUT COMMITTED.

The last four years with this President and administration has been the largest scam in American History. At no time in our nation’s history have we ever been this vulnerable and weak in areas of domestic and foreign policies.

In countries across the globe, persecution of conscience and religion has always decreased when Republican Administrations are in place. Why? Because the bad guys know that Republicans always take a hard line in protecting human rights.

We have an administration that lacks integrity in regard to National Security and operational security. They simply don’t get it. Way too much information has been leaked from this administration. As a result, family members of servicemen now have to be protected from terrorists. This President and his anti-American administration have not only just jeopardized this country’s military, but have also put the lives of their family members in harms way.

I’m disgusted by the fact we have an administration that calls Acts of Terrorism – Workforce Violence, as they did in Ft. Hood. This ridiculous label an insult of the deepest magnitude to the men and women wounded and killed by the man who began his shooting spree screaming Allahu Akbar. I’m concerned with this Administration’s love affair with the Muslim Brotherhood and the cold shoulder Israel gets from our President. We have an administration that supports and defends our enemies rather than defending our great nation and its allies.

I’m disappointed that this administration was tone deaf in regards to a real cry for freedom by the Iranian people during the 2009-2010 Green Movement in Iran, which was seeking a pro-western democracy. Instead this Administration appears to choose the side of the Muslim Brotherhood in every single Middle East uprising.

I’m concerned that this country has an administration that uses its’ military personnel as pawns for political gain. Our military men and women have become Lions led by sheep.

The people of this great country and its allies are sick of all the lies that come from this anti-American administration. This country and my home State of Iowa are full of patriots. We are committed to ending this feeling of hopelessness and despair. We are committed to putting this four year nightmare behind us.

Because in the end, PATRIOTISM and the LOVE OF COUNTRY will always prevail.

Brad is a recently retired US Navy SEAL who spent 20 years defending our country. Americans United for Freedom is proud to feature this fine patriot as our latest special contributor.
