...and speakin of Airline Security. Our Savior and Charismatic President has struck agin, and did it quietly as he usually does when he wants to slip somthin by us. Here's a re-post of a NewsMax article I just read. I'm so sick and tired of this guy and his no common sense liberal policies.... **sigh**

OBAMA TO LEAVE PILOTS UNARMED

Obama Effort to End Armed Pilots Program Is an Outrage!

A revelation by the Washington Times that President Barack Obama is trying to quietly end the armed pilot program, making air travel more vulnerable to terrorist attack, should outrage travelers, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said in a statement.

"The Washington Times nailed it," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, who proposed arming pilots just hours after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and championed the armed pilot program. "What Obama is doing is risking public safety, as the newspaper put it, 'in the name of an anti-gun ideology'."

CCRKBA has brought pressure on this issue and the TSA is backing away and making denials about disarming pilots but according to an Airline Pilots Union statement the "Government representatives acknowledged that the program needs additional funding to achieve these goals."

We Just Do Not Believe Obama or His Administration!

We respect the airline pilots union who said they "met with TSA executives and were told in no uncertain terms that TSA embraces the FFDO program, that there are no plans to reduce or restrict its growth, and that in fact the agency fully intends to grow and expand the program."

But Barack Obama has already deliberately and repeatedly lied to America's 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would not try to take away anyone's firearms and said "I'm not going to take your guns away."… "Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear …I think people can take me at my word."

Even Eric Holder said Obama "knew he was lying to the nation…" about the ban on semi-automatic firearms Why should we believe that limited funding for the pilots program not already in the budget will be added.

"I wouldn't take Obama's word if he said it rains a lot in Seattle."

Why Does CCRKBA Need You To Pay To Send Faxes?

The cost associated with faxing is a donation that covers the timely coordinated delivery of faxes to Congress on key issues providing a fast and effective tool to Send emails, create faxes and send them directly to Senators and Congressmen. The cost also pays in part for all the overhead to run CCRKBA so we can be here TODAY and 100 YEARS from now to protect Second Amendment Rights.

CCRKBA is leading the fax attack on Congress. Effective YES but FREE NO! We have sent of over 400,000 faxes in mass faxing to Congress is very effective and works.

It costs us to provide tools to directly put massive numbers of faxes on the desks of Senators and Congressmen. We have received reports that the faxes actually effect the voting in Congress like the recent Federal attempt to restrict carrying a hand gun on Federal Land for protection. We have jammed the fax machines and they must weigh the faxes there are so many to count.

Paid faxing works as Congress can tell that you care enough about guns to spend your hard earned money to send them.

The Washington Times reported in its Tuesday edition that President Obama is "quietly ending the federal firearms program" by diverting some $2 million from the training program to hire "supervisory" staff, whose job, it appears, will be to harass armed pilots through unnecessary field inspections.

"How dare the president, or anybody in his administration, take measures to erode the safety of air travelers," Gottlieb questioned. "The armed pilot program provides a guaranteed level of security to the public. There may or may not be an air marshal aboard every airplane, but there is definitely a pilot in the cockpit.

"We trust commercial airline pilots with $500 million aircraft," he continued. "We can certainly trust them with $500 pistols to defend those planes, and the lives of their passengers.

"Certain individuals have never liked the armed pilot program," Gottlieb acknowledged. "These anti-gun, anti-self-defense bureaucrats seem more interested in their own power, and protecting their little empires, than they are in protecting the public. And now, Obama is catering to their anti-gun bigotry."
