These are the true enemies of the state ladies and gentlemen. These people think what is going on with this Fast & Furious scandal and the attorney generals stonewalling is political and racist in nature. They forget that TWO US agents (Brian Terry & Jaime Zapata) were murdered with weapons from this program along with approx 200 Mexicans.
They in effect are saying these lives are meaningless. They are in fact endorsing an attempt by this regime to create a false crisis to bolster crimes committed with guns statistics to reign in gun owners, sellers, manufacturers and undermine the Second Amendment.
It has nothing to do with politics and NOTHING to do with the attorney generals race. Remember those who cry racism are the true racists! It has to do with murder and an attempt to undermine the US Constitution.
Thursday you will see the faces of individuals who have drawn the line in the sand who are the enemies of this nation. Take note of who they are, they must not be permitted to continue in public office.

National Journal: Black Lawmakers Plot ‘Walkout Strategy’ During Holder Contempt Vote
“The letter, a draft of which is being circulated for signatures, accuses the GOP leadership of “rushing recklessly to a contempt vote.” The letter is being circulated among the Black, Hispanic, Asian and Progressive caucuses, among other…”
Dear Colleague:
We write to urge you to stand with us in the pursuit of justice for the Attorney General of the United States of America, Eric H. Holder. In its history, the United States House of Representatives has never held a United States Attorney General, or any other Cabinet official, in contempt.
Instead of focusing on job creation and other critical issues before this Congress, we have been asked to engage in a political stunt on the floor of the United States House of Representatives. Our constituents elected us to do real work, not to engage in meaningless partisan activity.
Over the past 15 months, Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice have cooperated with the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s requests for information on “Fast and Furious”, an unfortunate operation that began under the Bush Administration and, in fact, was terminated by Attorney General Holder. The Department has made extraordinary efforts to accommodate Congress by turning over almost 8,000 documents–including all the documents that relate to the tactics in this investigation and the other flawed investigations that occurred in Arizona during the Bush Administration. The Attorney General also participated in a bicameral meeting in a good faith effort to satisfy the Committee’s information requests. While the Attorney General has advised House Republicans that he is willing to work with them in attempting to reach an agreement, the Republican Leadership is instead rushing recklessly to a contempt vote.
Contempt power should be used sparingly, carefully and only in the most egregious situations. The Republican Leadership has articulated no legislative purpose for pursuing this course of action. For these reasons we cannot and will not participate in a vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt. We adamantly oppose this partisan attack and refuse to participate in any vote that would tarnish the image of Congress or of an Attorney General who has done nothing but work tirelessly to protect the rights of the American people. We must reflect upon why we are elected to this body and choose now to stand up for justice.
We call upon all members of Congress to stand with us during a press conference on the Capitol Building steps during this appalling series of votes to discuss our nation’s most significant priority–creating jobs. At this critically important time in our nation, we must work as colleagues rather than political enemies.
