My parents and I are naturalized citizens and we are proud to be Americans -- no hypen necessary, just Americans.
They came to America to escape Communism and worked hard for many years to be able to come to get here. As it was and is for many immigrants, America was a beacon of hope for them and their children in a post World War II world. Will we allow their hopes and dreams and that of other immigrants to be for naught? Will America become what they worked so hard to escape?
If we, the people, do not stand up and stop this uncontrolled power grab by bombarding our so-called representatives with calls, asking them to put the brakes on the Obama, America will devolve into a third world country or worse.
If you doubt this, just look at Venezuela. The similarities between Hugo Chavez and Obama are striking. But make no mistake, Obama is Chavez squared.
People shy away from defining the man in our White House, but when you think about it, his actions clearly define the man. Bottome line: His goal is total control. Is that what we really want?
