Art Robinson Sues DeFazio for $1 million More than 30,000 Oregon Voters Misled By DeFazio Illegal Billboards
In recent weeks, Oregon voters have seen an innovative Art Robinson sign campaign along the highways, roads, and city streets. Instead of advertising just the name of the candidate, Robinson volunteers have been putting up thousands of signs that advertise Art’s policies – the things that he will work to accomplish if elected to Congress. Since these signs are also made by volunteers, they are very inexpensive to post. (There are 35 different versions of the signs with different issues, which can also be viewed at www.artforcongress.com) The costs of materials for the signs have been paid by individual campaign donors. Art has no corporate campaign support.
Now, just before voting began (Oregon mail-in ballots have now been mailed to voters), a new, very expensive campaign has been launched on commercial billboards along Oregon highways and roads by Art’s opponent Peter DeFazio. These billboards say nothing about DeFazio or his policies. Actually, the very fact that DeFazio put them up is being concealed.
The DeFazio billboards feature Art Robinson’s picture, name, and text falsely suggesting that Art will work to close the public schools, stop social security payments, and stop federal student aid to college students. Art is pictured advertising these things. Many motorists who read these signs know that these are not Art’s policies, but polls show that 33% of motorists who read the signs believe that they were put up by Art, the candidate pictured on the sign, to promote his actual policies. Predictably, the signs make them less likely to vote for Art.
A poll taken by the Robinson campaign shows that, already, there are more than 30,000 Oregon voters who have been deceived into believing that Art put up these DeFazio billboards (33% of the approximately 100,000 who have seen the signs, with a margin of error giving a 99% probability that the number is greater than 25,000), far more than necessary to decide the election. At least an additional 20,000 voters are unsure who put these billboards up. And, these numbers are growing daily.

CBS News affiliate calls 2012 presidential race for Barack Obama weeks ahead of election
Via Don
The 2012 presidential election is still more than two weeks away, but
on Friday a CBS News affiliate in Arizona called the race for President
Barack Obama.
For 17 seconds, Phoenix, Arizona CBS News affiliate KPHO ran a lower third graphic that showed that Obama had won the Nov. 6 election over Gov. Mitt Romney with 99% of the precincts reporting. The lower third graphic appeared around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 19, during an episode
of “The People’s Court.”
The CBS News graphic showed Obama winning the election with 43 percent of the vote nationwide to Romney’s 40 percent -– or 40,237,966 votes to 38,116,216. It is unclear who garnered the other 17 percent in the fictional election results.

U.S. Drone Watched Libya Attack Unfold But Washington Did Nothing
The United States had an unmanned Predator drone over its consulate in Benghazi during the attack that slaughtered four Americans — which should have led to a quicker military response, it was revealed yesterday.
“They stood, and they watched, and our people died,” former CIA commander Gary Berntsen told CBS News.
The network reported that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft observed the final hours of the hours-long siege on Sept. 11 — obtaining information that should have spurred swift action.
But as Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three colleagues were killed by terrorists armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, Defense Department officials were too slow to send in the troops, Berntsen said.
“They made zero adjustments in this. You find a way to make this happen,” he fumed.
“There isn’t a plan for every single engagement. Sometimes you have to be able to make adjustments.”
The Pentagon said it moved a team of special operators from Central Europe to Sigonella, Italy — about an hour flight from Libya — but gave no other details.
Fighter jets and Specter AC-130 gunships — which could have been used to help disperse the bloodthirsty mob — were also stationed at three nearby bases, sources told the network.

U.S. Congress introduces bill ordering FEMA to conduct 'mass fatality planning'
Via Tom
While millions of Americans were busy watching the elephant puppet
battle the ass puppet at the latest political circus, the United States
Congress quietly introduced a new piece of legislation ordering the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to begin preparing for mass casualties throughout the country.
House Resolution 6566, also known as the Mass Fatality Planning and Religious Considerations Act, would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to mandate that FEMA immediately begin conducting "mass fatality planning" in preparation for a major event or series of events that may kill off untold numbers of people.
Introduced by Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.), H.R. 6566 provisions that the Administrator of FEMA -- William Craig Fugate currently holds the Administrator position at FEMA (http://www.fema.gov/leadership/william-craig-fugate) -- provide "guidance and coordination" for dealing with a mass casualty event arising from a natural disaster, terrorist act, or "other man-made disaster."
The bill also ominously sets up the FEMA Administrator as a type of emergency dictator with the power to control how local communities, private businesses, nonprofit organizations, religious organizations, and even individuals prepare for and respond to a mass fatality event.
"Funeral homes, cemeteries, and mortuaries could be overwhelmed should mass fatalities arise from a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster," says the legislation, which also specifies the manner in which people with certain religious affiliations should be buried following their deaths.

The Case Against Barack Obama
Mike Scruggs
If you have been following the candidates and issues in this election, you already know that this is no ordinary political contest. Never before have America’s founding principles and values been more aggressively threatened by an incumbent president and his party. Virtually everything Americans have believed in, worked for, prayed for, and fought for during the last 250 years is being degraded or swept aside by Barack Obama and a radicalized Democrat Party.
Our Constitution and unalienable rights are being ignored and crushed by swelling bureaucratic government. Our economy is being shackled by job-killing over-regulation and high tax rates. Inflationary government spending and deficits are threatening the value of our income, savings, and retirement security. More than 22 million Americans who want a full-time job cannot find one. Half of new college graduates cannot find a good job. The defensive and fighting capability of our Armed Forces is being weakened by bureaucratic incompetence and thoughtless social experimentation. Obama’s naive and inept foreign policy has jeopardized our national security and the freedom and security of our allies, while encouraging arrogance and aggression by our enemies.
Moreover, Obama’s foreign policy appears to be more egregious than mere naivety and ineptitude. Anyone looking the facts in the face regarding Obama’s foreign policy must tremble at a possibility that demands inquiry. Is he really on our side? During the first twelve days following the murder of four American diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, Obama continuously attributed the attacks to an amateur video critical of Islam. The talking point being pushed by him was that criticism of Islam was a violation of socially and morally acceptable behavior, which could understandably increase the possibility of violent reaction by Muslims around the world. On the surface, he condemned the violence, but beneath the surface and more continuously, he was paving the way for classifying criticism of Islam as a hate crime.
In fact, last December, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was working with an alliance of 56 predominantly Muslim nations in the U. N. to facilitate making criticism of Islam a hate crime in Europe, the United States, and other Western counties. That would effectively make the statement of many cardinal Christian doctrines and much of Scripture hate speech.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R, SC) believes that Obama’s concentration on the video as a cause of the violence was an attempt to deflect attention from the instability being caused by Obama foreign policy. Graham’s point only scratches the surface. As we see time after time, but with minimal media coverage or analysis, many of Obama’s actions, including the video issue hype, are directed toward marginalizing the influence of any Biblical form of Christian faith, practice, and speech. Last Christmas, the Obama Administration even tried to ban Bibles at Walter Reed Military Hospital where many wounded soldiers receive intensive rehabilitation care. The Administration rationale was that Bibles might offend non-Christian patients and families. This outrage was only stopped by a scathing condemnation of the ban in Congress by Rep. Steve King (R, IA). Under Barack Obama, our religious traditions and highest moral principles are being marginalized and suppressed with little thought of the social and providential consequences.
The Benghazi incident is not alone in raising the question of whether Barack Obama is really on the side of the United States and the American people. In March, at a conference in Seoul, Korea, discussing missile defense, President Obama, thinking the microphone was not picking him up, leaned toward Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and said:
“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”
Medevedev responded in English that he understood and would transmit the information to incoming President Vladmir Putin. Perhaps Obama is only incredibly naïve, but such a whispered statement to the Russian President raises the question again. Whose side is he on?
Our nation and our people are hanging on the edge of a cliff. Re-electing Barack Obama as our President will shove us off the edge of that cliff to economic and social ruin and possibly into the nation-consuming tragedy of war
Am I exaggerating? Will he rein in his economic and social radicalism after being re-elected? Does not common sense and ordinary insight suggest that he will consolidate his power and suppress any opposition? The dream of Obama’s father was Marxist socialism. The dream of our Fathers is freedom. November 6 may be our last chance to defend our liberties and regain the prosperity that economic freedom brings. We need to do everything we can to assure a victory for freedom on that day.
“At a time when liberty is under attack, decency under assault, the family under siege, and life itself is threatened, the good will arise in truth; they will arise in truth with the very essence and substance of their lives; they will arise in truth never shying from the Standard of Truth, never shrinking from the Author of Truth.”

PSST, Taxes Go up in 2013 for 163 Million Workers
President Barack Obama isn't talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election.
A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year and hardly anyone in Washington is pushing to extend it. Neither Obama nor Romney has proposed an extension, and it probably wouldn't get through Congress anyway, with lawmakers in both parties down on the idea.
Even Republicans who have sworn off tax increases have little appetite to prevent one that will cost a typical worker about $1,000 a year, and two-earner family with six-figure incomes as much as $4,500.
Why are so many politicians sour on continuing the payroll tax break?
Republicans question whether reducing the tax two years ago has done much to stimulate the sluggish economy. Politicians from both parties say they are concerned that it threatens the independent revenue stream that funds Social Security.
They are backed by powerful advocates for seniors, including AARP, who adamantly oppose any extension.
"The payroll tax holiday was intended to be temporary and there is strong bipartisan support to let that tax provision expire," said Sen. Orrin of Utah, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. "The continued extension of a temporary payroll tax holiday has serious long-term implications for Social Security and, frankly, it's not even clear that it has helped to boost our ailing economy."
