September 2, 2010 August 26, 2010 Federal Immigration Policy; Amnesty The Obama administration has quietly moved to relax the enforcement of federal immigration law. From dismissing thousands of current deportation cases, stopping the construction of the border fence and halting the arrest of illegal aliens, the President has made it clear that he has no regard for federal law and more importantly, the American people. Dismissing deportation cases- Click hereNo more deportation- Click hereHalting construction of the border fence- Click hereAugust 16, 2010 NO TO THE MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO The Nassau County Civic Association strongly supports religious freedom for all Americans to practice their faith and build their houses of worship, yet we cannot endorse a mosque on the site of the 911 attack. There is no reason why the backers of the mosque cannot build their mosque a few blocks elsewhere in consideration the circumstances surrounding the 911 attacks. America was attacked by those who shared an ideology of hate, Islamic fascism. The Imam behind the mosque project, Imam Feisal Rauf has a troubling history. He actually claimed that America was an accessory to 911, has refused to condemn Hamas as a terror group, supports the imposition of Sharia law in the United States and has a family connection to the extremist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Obama are wrong and are out of touch with the People they serve. NO to the mosque. For more information, go to Stopthe911mosque.com

August 16, 2010 Appeals Court; Gay Marriages on Hold Today a three judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay of Judge Walker's order to reinstate gay marriage in California. The Appeals court expedited their review with all briefs due by November 1st. Click here for the story August 4, 2010 Gay Federal Judge strikes down California gay marriage ban Declaring that the state has no rational basis to restrict marriage between members of the same sex, Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled that California's proposition 8 which banned gay marriage violated the plaintiff's right of due process and equal protection. “Proposition 8 cannot withstand any level of scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause,” wrote Judge Walker. “Excluding same-sex couples from marriage is simply not rationally related to a legitimate state interest.” His ruling overturned the will of more then 7 million California voters who voted to preserve marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The ruling went on to reject any moral or religious objection to gay marriage and further went on to imply that those who oppose gay marriage have engaged in bigotry, "The evidence at trial regarding the campaign to pass Proposition 8 uncloaks the most likely explanation for its passage: a desire to advance the belief that opposite-sex couples are morally superior to same-sex couples," he said. He then erroneously compared the ban on gay marriage to previous restrictions on inter racial marriages; "Race restrictions on marital partners were once common in most states but are now seen as archaic, shameful or even bizarre," he added. "Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage; marriage under law is a union of equals." As to the notion of civil unions versus marriage, he rejected other legal schemes as legally inferior. The decision is expected to be appealed to the 9th Circuit court of appeals and will likely end up before the supreme court. Click here for the story August 12, 2010

Town of Hempstead releases New Development Plan for Coliseum
In a dramatic turn around from the highly dense and urban plan pushed by the
former Suozzi administration, the Town of Hempstead has released a blueprint
for the redevelopment of the Coliseum area that is a balance between the
need for development and maintaining the suburban character of Nassau
County.
The plan calls for 5.4 million square feet of construction which
includes convention facilities, hotels, retail, restaurants, offices,
residential units, entertainment uses and a refurbished Coliseum. The plan
includes 500 units of housing. The maximum building height contemplated
under the town's zone is 100 feet or nine stories and applies to hotels.
Mixed use, office and most other structures would be capped at four stories.
Exclusively residential buildings would be restricted to three stories.
We applaud Supervisor Murray and the Town Board for their commitment to
economic development and their responsiveness to the concerns of the Town's
residents.

July 6, 2010 Shocking allegations of racial bias by DOJ In testimony before the US Civil Rights Commission, ex-Justice Department official, J. Christian Adams asserted that the Department of Justice has a pervasive pattern of hostility toward prosecuting civil rights cases when the perpetrators are black and the victims are white. His testimony was in response to the Obama Administration's refusal to prosecute Black Panthers who engaged in voter intimidation in Philadelphia back in 2008.

"If that was the case, we would have the tools and we would bring suit on that basis."

When all else fails, Push Amnesty
The President desperate to change the dynamic of
falling poll numbers and the destructive oil spill, put forward the same
amnesty plan previously rejected by the Senate during the Bush
Administration, however he further solidified his image as an ineffective
leader with the following statement, "There are those who argue that
we should not move forward with any other elements of reform until we have
fully sealed our borders," he said. "Our borders are just too vast for us to
be able to solve the problem only with fences and border patrols. It won't
work."

May 27, 2010 US House votes to allow open homosexuality in the military Fight moves to the Senate. Call your Senator!! Gays in the Military-Bad for America May 26, 2010 Joint Chiefs oppose repeal of Don't ask, don't tell Earlier this year, the Pentagon agreed to conduct a study on the repeal of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy which bans open homosexuality. The review which is due to be completed by December was prompted by pressure from homosexual rights activists and President Obama who has promised to repeal the Clinton era policy. Under the current military code of justice, homosexuality is deemed incompatible with military service and is grounds for discharge. During the Clinton administration, President Clinton pushed to allow open homosexuality in the military which resulted in a compromise policy which allows homosexuals to serve as long as they keep their sexuality discreet and which bars the military from asking about one's sexual preference. Due to shifting political winds and a possible loss of one or both houses of Congress, Democratic leaders are trying to force a repeal bill through which would allow open homosexuality as long as the President, the Defense Secretary and the Chairman of the Joint Chief's of Staff certify that the change will not affect military readiness and unit cohesiveness. for the storyThe Nassau County Civic Association opposes any repeal on two grounds; the change would affect military readiness and unit cohesiveness due to the consequences of the change and second, the current policy is supported by a overwhelming majority of those affected; active service members and veterans. For more information on why any change would be catastrophic, click hereCall Senator Schumer at 212-486-4430 or 631-753-0978 and Senator Gillibrand at 212-688-6262 or 631-249-2825.

Healthcare bill cost companies billions
Speaking in support of the healthcare bill, the President indicated that one
of the benefits would be a reduction in healthcare costs. Once the bill was
signed into law, a tax benefit companies receive for providing retiree drug
benefits was eliminated. Based on accounting and financial rules, the
companies are obligated to disclose any anticipated costs that become known
in the quarter upon which the legislation is enacted. The first company to
take a charge against their profits was AT & T which took a billion dollar
charge. The total estimated cost is 4.5 billion.
