Rev. Wright Offered Hush Money During Obama Campaign
It turns out that the Obama campaign was much more concerned about the
comments of Rev. Jeremiah Wright than they let on. According to a
statement by Wright, not only did Obama personally ask him to keep
quiet, but Wright was also offered money to stop speaking until the
campaign was over.

GOP: Economy tops gay marriage as campaign issue
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama delighted his liberal base by
coming down on the side of gay marriage, but he cheered the opposition,
too. Republican activists now want to use Obama's stance on the issue -
public opinion is about evenly split - to paint the president as a
flip-flopper and to boost Mitt Romney's image in the eyes of
conservatives who are still warming to him.

Rev. Wright Offered Hush Money During Obama Campaign
By EDWARD KLEIN
When sermons of Obama’s Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, surfaced during the Iowa primaries, it threatened to derail Obama’s campaign. ABC aired one where Wright screamed, “Goddamn America!” Edward Klein interviewed Wright, who told him Obama’s team tried to buy his silence.
‘Man, the media ate me alive,” Wright told me when we met in his office at Chicago’s Kwame Nkrumah Academy. “After the media went ballistic on me, I received an e-mail offering me money not to preach at all until the November presidential election.”

“Who sent the e-mail?” I asked Wright.
“It was from one of Barack’s closest friends.”
“He offered you money?”
“Not directly,” Wright said. “He sent the offer to one of the members of the church, who sent it to me.”
“How much money did he offer you?”
“One hundred and fifty thousand dollars,” Wright said.
“Did Obama himself ever make an effort to see you?”
“Yes,” Wright said. “Barack said he wanted to meet me in secret, in a secure place. And I said, ‘You’re used to coming to my home, you’ve been here countless times, so what’s wrong with coming to my home?’ So we met in the living room of the parsonage of Trinity United Church of Christ, at South Pleasant Avenue right off 95th Street, just Barack and me. I don’t know if he had a wire on him. His security was outside somewhere.
“And one of the first things Barack said was, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t do any more public speaking until after the November election.’ He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ‘I wish you wouldn’t speak. It’s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.’
“And what did you say?” I asked. “I said, ‘I don’t see it that way. And anyway, how am I supposed to support my family?’ And he said, ‘Well, I wish you wouldn’t speak in public. The press is gonna eat you alive.’
“Barack said, ‘I’m sorry you don’t see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is?’ And I said, ‘No, what’s my problem?’ And he said, ‘You have to tell the truth.’ I said, ‘That’s a good problem to have. That’s a good problem for all preachers to have. That’s why I could never be a politician.’
“And he said, ‘It’s going to get worse if you go out there and speak. It’s really going to get worse.’
“And he was so right.”

Rand Paul: Major endorsement in New Mexico
I hope you agree with me that we need more men and women in the U.S. Senate like Senator Jim DeMint and Senator Mike Lee. We need more who will take a strong stand for the Paul/DeMint 5 year balanced budget plan.
I was sent by my fellow citizens to fight the Washington Machine. But I need more reinforcements.
It's time to take our government back.
Back from the Washington establishment, the CAREER politicians, the corporate lobbyists, and the liberal media.
However, you can't change Washington by sending the same old people there.
This is why I am proud to endorse Greg Sowards for US Senate in New Mexico in his Republican primary against former Congresswoman Heather Wilson.
Greg will bring his small business experience, and common sense, constitutional conservative values to Washington and instill reason and sensibility back to the government.
Will you join me in supporting Greg today?
Friend, if you and I don't do all we can today to elect Greg Sowards to the United States Senate we will be forced to accept a liberal Republican or an Obama supporting Democrat. That's not a choice!
That's why I'm asking you to join me in making a generous contribution of $35, $50, $75, $100, $250, $500 or more to ensure we can send a true constitutional conservative to the US Senate.
You see, although Greg seems like the perfect candidate for not only New Mexico, but our nation - he is facing a tough Republican Primary (as I did in my first election to the US Senate). He is running against liberal Republican Congresswoman Heather Wilson who has done little in Washington to stand up for our conservative values.
You see, Heather Wilson's extensive liberal track - record includes:
** Voted FOR the $700 Billion bank bailout,
which sent billions of taxpayer dollars to
large Wall Street financial firms that not only acted irresponsibly from
a business operating perspective, but had lavishly financed the
Obama-Biden
campaign;
** Voted to INCREASE our national debt limit on multiple occasions, easing the way for our national
debt to balloon almost 200% over the last 6 years - from $8 Trillion in 2006 to nearly $16 Trillion today;
** Failed to
stand up to out-of-control Federal spending... in addition to her frequent votes to increase the debt limit, Heather Wilson voted FOR the $168
Billion "stimulus" package in 2008;
** Voted FOR the radical environmentalist, anti- US Sovereignty, and anti-growth
Kyoto Protocol, which sought to implement a worldwide "Cap-and-Trade" program that would increase taxes, hurt U.S. business, and limit
our nation's ability to operate in our best interest;
** Voted FOR Federally-mandated and regulated healthcare,
voting for S-CHIP, the
precursor to ObamaCare that was one of the largest tax-hikes, welfare
expansions and government run-and-rationed healthcare plans in the
history of
our country. Wilson also voted for Medicare Part D which wreaked havoc
on both our nation's budget and the users of Medicare;
** Voted
AGAINST Life & Family Issues with her votes in favor of funding Planned Parenthood with taxpayer dollars and not against restricting the
interstate transport of minors to get abortions without parental consent.
** Voted FOR and Co-Sponsored legislation to force states to
allow for the unionizaiton of public employees. In addition to the extraordinary amount of mandates imposed Wilson and Obama, Wilson has
been attempting to extend the burden of collective bargaining upon every state and local government.
It's
time we stood up not only to liberal Democrats like Harry Reid but also
to members of our own party like Heather Wilson and said - no more. We
will
not allow them to vote in Washington on our behalf any longer - and that
will begin by ensuring they are not elected this fall. Greg Sowards will represent New Mexico with clear conservative solutions. He will stand up to Obama's liberal policies and present ideas to put an end to the era of big spending that has taken over our government.
I need Greg Sowards alongside me in the Senate to fight for what is right- and I need your help to guarantee he is elected. Will you join conservatives across the nation by following this link to make a secure online donation of $25, $35, $50 or more?
Sincerely,
Rand Paul
United States Senator
P.S. Greg needs our immediate support. His primary is rapidly approaching and we need to make certain his campaign has the funds necessary to reach voters in New Mexico and share his conservative message. Please follow this link to make a secure online donation to his campaign today.
P.P.S. Our future rests on the outcome on the 2012 elections. All eyes are on the Senate race in New Mexico and our friend Greg needs our help. Let's stand together to support Greg today.
Judge Napolitano on Use of Drones in US: Congress Is Going to Look the Other Way and Let the Air Force Spy in Our Backyards
The FAA is expected to announce plans to expand the use of domestic drones in American airspace. These would be similar to the unmanned aircraft that the U.S. has been using to target terrorists abroad. In the U.S., the surveillance systems would be used to track terrorists, drug dealers or to find missing children. But critics warn that the use of drones presents a major threat to our personal privacy.
Jonathan Hunt reports that there could be as many as 30,000 drones flying overhead within the next decade.
Judge Andrew Napolitano commented that officials don’t have the authority to spy on us from above and that “bureaucrats gave themselves the authority to capture images of us in the privacy of our backyards.”

The judge said pointedly that this is not permitted by the Constitution or federal law, and wondered why more people, including Congress, aren’t up in arms about it. He said, “The same Congress that let the president bomb Libya is going to let his Air Force spy in our backyards and like potted plants, they’ll look the other way.”
He concluded, “The Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment and the Ninth Amendment were written to guarantee us the right to be left alone … Suddenly the government, silently, from 30, 000 feet above is violating those amendments.”
Ron Paul has NOT Suspended His Campaign
There is a strategy shift: The campaign will not spend resources campaigning in primary states but WILL BE focusing on winning delegates in caucus states ... Rest assured, he is not dropping out ... We must now redouble our efforts. We are doing extremely well, and the chance of a brokered convention in Tampa is extremely good, and the delegates we have collected so far are many hundreds, unlike what the media is lying to us about.
There is a moneybomb coming up on May 17th. Please, pour everything you've got into the moneybomb. It's absolutely so vital that we do that. We have to keep the campaign going. ~ Israel
