These three kids wanted to run for the tall grass. It was early 90's at the U.S. Citizenship Ceremony in Maryland. Around 1500 people filled the hall comprising of citizenship applicants, supportive family and friends.
I was backstage with a trio of extremely nervous and intimidated teenagers who were scheduled to sing our National Anthem. These kids had never performed for such a large audience.
I had been the grand finale of the ceremony for years, performing my original song, “Celebrate America” after applicants took their oath of allegiance. I took great pride that my song was the first song thousands heard as official Americans.
When the MC introduced the trio from so-and-so junior high school, the kids were visibly shaking. They began the anthem fine, but one got nervous and stopped singing which threw off the other two and they stopped singing as well. The trio stood in silence.
I walked from backstage and joined the kids center stage. I told the audience that these kids were symbolic of what it really means to be an American and the great family they would soon become a part of. I shared that the kids were very frightened because the event was much larger than they expected. They could have backed down and refused to perform. But despite their fear, these kids found the courage to face the difficult challenge, keep their word and give it a try. This is the American Way.
Together, the trio and I sang the National Anthem. The audience gave us a standing ovation.
Performing my song at U.S. Citizenship Ceremonies rewarded me an opportunity to chat with brand new “proud” Americans. They understood the sacrifice and divine blessing required to make this extraordinarily unique experiment called “America” a thriving reality. They gleefully desired to assimilate into our culture.
Some applicants were extremely old in wheelchairs; their raised right hand assisted by a family member as they tearfully recited their oath of allegiance.
As the sacred sound of the applicants reciting their oath of allegiance, in unison, came to an end, the hall always erupted in cheers and applause. These jubilant people of various races from numerous countries were officially Americans! They respected our laws, followed the rules and were awarded the precious gift of U.S. Citizenship.
With a stroke of his executive pen, Obama awarded amnesty to illegals, pushing them to the head of the line, in front of applicants who are following the legal process to become U.S. citizens. Obama is disrespecting the efforts of those seeking citizenship legally and the value of what it means to become an American.
And yes, there is a dramatically different mindset between those I witnessed at the ceremonies who earned their precious U.S. Citizenship verses those who got it for free because Obama seeks to purchase Hispanic votes.
Many illegals given instant free citizenship by Obama could not care less about assimilating into our society. They refuse to learn English and have little or no respect for our flag. America is simply the place the go for freebies while still proudly waving their Mexican flag.
Meanwhile, American kids are banned from wearing clothing which features the U.S. flag to school on Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday. The song “God Bless The USA (Proud to be an American)” is banned from public school deemed potentially offensive to other cultures.
Illegals given free citizenship from Obama join the socialists/progressives in their “what's-the-big-deal-about-being-an-American” attitude.
So illegals who are clueless as to what it truly means to be an American and have no emotional connection to our amazing country enjoy benefits not even available to legal U.S. Citizens. For example: Thanks to Obama, illegals from outside any given state can get in-state tuition while U.S. Citizens can not.
Even more painful, Obama continues to lower the bar of what it means to be an American.
Obama's speeches and actions imply that he would like to rewrite the words at the base of our Statue of Liberty to read: Bring me your lazy, entitlement-minded, class envious, haters of achievement, those who pervert God's original intent, baby killers and deadbeats. I offer America to you with open arms.
The value and worth of U.S. Citizenship is yet another item on a growing list of sacred laws (The Constitution), freedoms and principles Obama has sacrificed on the socialist/progressive alter of evil to purchase four more years; needed to complete his vowed fundamental transformation of America. God help us.

AMEN BROTHER
King Hussein himself is not a US citizen, in the 1980's he traveled to Pakistan using his Indonesian passport he came back to the US with. He could not have traveled to Pakistan legally at the time for US citizens were not allowed to do so.
So if you have traveled to the US using a foreign passport and have traveled out of the US using a foreign passport at what point are you considered to be an alien?
Least we also forget that he was enrolled at Occidental as a foreign student also.
We have a marxist Muslim born in Kenya with an Indonesian citizenship serving in the WH and the MSM has allowed this to go unreported for 4 years.
If you don't think there is something wrong in America now, then you are just too stupid to be voting in the first place.
They should pass a law, in order to vote you have to have a HS diploma or GED. Too many ignorant people are being misguided by the deceit of some powerful people and they need to be protected.
For all the support they show to these people as soon as they have gained full control of the government these same people who put them in power will be exterminated by those who rule.
The Jews, African-Americans, Homosexuals and bleeding heart liberals will all be murdered by the communist/socialist who will take over our country.
It happens in every country the communist/socialist take over, it will be no different in the US.
What, if anything, can We the People do to reclaim our country? Prayer is good, but sometimes God needs human help to answer them. We the People gave our government the power to grow itself beyond any hope of control. How do we take it back? Can we take it back? Political offices are now purchased, and go to one of the two highest bidders. We are left with the choice of who we believe to be the least offensive of two candidates. With Harry Reid's crooked family controlling the voting machines, we can't even be certain that who we try to vote for is the candidate that the machine gives our vote to. Personally, I think the only reason that one of our enemies has not nuked DC is because they know it would make all our lives better.
Vicky, Obama & the Democrats try to use the arguement that we can't deport Millions of Illegals so we need "comprehensive immigration reform" (Amnesty), or a Pathway to Cizenship, (Amnesty). The position of the RNC is the same position of Romney during all the primary debates, and the position of NumbersUsa. The position of self-deportation is this: a fully secure border, mandatory E-verify and no benefits to Illegals, and enforcement of the Law, which will, and has led to much self-deportation, with NO Amnesty. In Alabama and other States where this was used, very high percentages of Illegals either left their State, or returned home. The Illegals that do NOT leave on their own, will be deported as caught. It is an excellent policy and very sucessful. The fines for hiring Illegals has to be very stiff for 1st. offense, and loss of business licence & steeper fines for 2nd. offense.

Thank you for your prayers for America and for joining us in prayers of personal repentance over the last week. As believers, we must search our hearts daily and be quick to repent of any offensive way within us. When we turn away from sin and toward God, we are purified by the blood of Jesus and we have godly fellowship with each other. (see 1 John 1:7)
This week, we continue in this posture of repentance as we pray for a move of the Holy Spirit upon our churches nationwide. Together, let us ask for a spirit of repentance to fall upon churches that have forsaken the Truth of the Gospel.
Pray that God would open eyes and ears to the grave consequences (see Galatians 1:6-9) of preaching a Gospel other than Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. (see John 14:6) Ask the Lord to search your own heart and church body for any lies that are being believed or Truth that is being denied.
God-honoring change that will impact this nation must begin first in our hearts, flow into our churches, and then out into the world.
Weekly Prayer Update: August 24, 2012

Thank you for joining us as we continue to pray for God to Save America.

Now more than ever we must return to Christ and repent if we want G-d to come back and bless, America. We must heed the warnings!

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
How do we expect this scum to act? He's an illegal immigrant himself, living at our expense in what should be the residence of the President. The man who staunchly proclaimed that his would be the most open presidency in history has spent millions to cover up the fact that he has no legal right to even BE in this country, let alone pretend to be the President. If Congress continues to refuse to investigate this fraud, the people should have a way to do it for them and also charge the entire population of both the House and Senate with a criminal act, removing them from office with no pension or benefits.
If America isn't dead yet , it is dying a slow death because so many American citizen have become braindead due to the constant poisoning of their minds by the progressive communists we call the mainstream media and the indocrinators in our educational institutions posing as teachers .
It is the responsibility of the House to make the charges and they are silent on the issues,,,,soooooo, who is rally looking out for the USA??? If you read the book, "the roots of obamas rage" it will all make sense to you and evryone else. Other wise all you do is say, "why is he doing this that or the other" Additionally did you see the picture of G. Bush dancing with a wounded Warrier???? I do hope history calls him correctly as one of the best persons and presidents ever!!!
