| Friends, The news of a United States credit worthiness downgrade by the S&P has rocked the financial markets. And shaken America's self-confidence and global strength. This credit rating debacle is more than a disgrace. It is dangerous. Already America's prime real estate is being purchased at an alarming rate: "Chinese Pump $1 Billion Into NY Real Estate" - Newsmax. We cannot allow this to continue. American families have balanced their books. And cut spending. It's time for Washington politicians to do the same. Or lose their jobs. We are demanding 2 very simple solutions: 1. Demand a balanced budget amendment (70% of American are in favor). 2. Demand 10% across the board spending cuts. By cuts, we do NOT mean cuts in the increase in spending. We mean real cuts. We are working in Washington now to push this common sense approach to legislation. To force this issue, we are gathering the most powerful political force in the America: Conservative Americans 50+. Click here to add your voice and join: www.AmericaIsRising.com When we speak in unison, Washington listens. Unfortunately for us all, they are still listening to the AARP. If you are over 50 you are being misrepresented by this once wonderful organization. They are silent on this budget issue, choosing instead to play the same political games that got us into this mess.

Click here to join and tell Washington enough is enough: www.AmericaIsRising.com If you remain unconvinced about the position of the AARP, go to our website, watch the videos and consider this: The AARP is silent on most issues that Conservatives hold dear. They supported strengthening the Brady Bill that endangers your right to Bear Arms. They remain silent on illegal immigration, but invested heavily in their Hispanic program, "Viva". Many are confused and angered by their stance on abortion. Most telling is their unlikely support of ObamaCare – which will cost you, your children and your grandchildren dearly. Why did they do this? - AARP's financial gain "could exceed $1 billion from the new health care law: - House Ways and Means "Behind the Veil" investigation finding. Click here to watch the video "Today's AARP. Investigated. Exposed" at AmericaIsRising.com The liberal Huffington Post calls the AARP "The most powerful lobbying force for older Americans." That power must be confronted. Amac is Better. Better for You. Better for America. We are now The Leading Conservative Alternative to the AARP and we are being heard. Join us today. Thank you, and God Bless America. Sam Hassell

Frantz Fanon, the distinguished Algerian psychiatrist, presents in The Wretched of the Earth a challenging inquiry into the dehumanizing nature of colonial oppression, and draws up an exciting inventory of the possibilities of eventual freedom for the world’s subject peoples. For his audience in the Third World, and for us who listen in, Fanon conducts, for perhaps the first time since Engels and Sorel, a brilliant examination of the role of violence as the most efficient midwife of historical
