NO NO NO NO

A friend of mine sent me a video last week

and as I watched it, it occurred to me that

every Congressman/women need to have

to watch this video everyday before they go

about the peoples business. Maybe then they

will get the message NO NO NO NO NO!!

Illegal Obama "Propped Up" By Congress!

Congressman West's Weekly Wrap-Up-January 11, 2011

Greetings to the Constituents of Florida Congressional District 22 and all Americans,

what an incredible and momentous week this has been. It is with great, and humbling,

honor that I send this first weekly update as your Congressional Representative.

First of all, I'd like to send my thoughts and prayers to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords,

her staff and her family as well as all of the victims of this terrible tragedy in Arizona.

My family grieves for those innocent lives lost and prays for the recovery of those brave

individuals still fighting for their lives. This horrible tragedy is a reminder that we are

all Americans first. Congresswoman Gifford's will to survive is a testament to her strength

and courage. As we go forward, I will continue to make myself available to my constituents

through monthly town hall meetings and other venues. I will continue to follow the direction

of the Sergeant of Arms Office in how to best secure my public meetings, but in no way will

this incident deter me from being available to the very people who elected me.

One more thing, for anyone to say this tragedy is a result of any kind of political dialogue

is a tragedy in itself. The shooter was a very disturbed individual and it appears there were

so many warning signs that he was going to do something horrible. We should be focusing on

the mental health crisis in our country, not politics.

There is so much to share with you all but first let me just say thanks to all those who

took the time to come up for the swearing in ceremony and also to those of you who

watched from the District.

Special recognition and gratitude to Joyce Kaufman for

broadcasting her show from

our campaign headquarters

and hosting the dedicated

Go West team members.

Last week got off to a thrilling start with an interview with Chris Wallace on

Fox News Sunday. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to express my positions on

the critical economic issue which we face.

It was extremely important for me to convey to

Mr. Wallace that I do not believe in fear-mongering

leadership. No one follows an individual who panics

or instills fear in tough situations, people are drawn

to those who calmly outline a vision for success and victory.

Angela, Aubrey, and Austen arrived to Washington DC on Monday evening and

we all met on Tuesday. It was so special having the girls up here.. It is imperative

for each generation of American to set a new course and direction for their

subsequent generations. I pray that I can truly give more to my daughters, as well

as all of your children and grandchildren, as Herman and Elizabeth West left for me.

Special thanks to Eyta, Laor and Renee and Danny Kaufman for the wonderful reception

they hosted on Tuesday evening. I finally made my way there after the reception at

The Florida House where I was able to congratulate Senator Marco Rubio.

In between these two receptions, I was able to visit with the Republican Jewish Coalition

and meet so many wonderful people, to include former House Speaker Newt Gingrich,

who made it possible for me to become Congressman West.

Swearing in day began as a Soldier would have it, a 0500 hrs run with two friends,

Brendan Barry and Vince Virga along the National Mall from the Capitol down to the

Lincoln Memorial. It was a nice 7 mile run for me but enabled me to put all this into

perspective. As an American Warrior, my life has been spent standing upon freedoms

rampart guarding the institutions of liberty for our Constitutional Republic.

Later that day, I would again take the oath first taken on 31 July 1982 but this time I

would be serving inside one the institutions that make America great, yes, exceptional.

The middle Son of Buck and Snooks (my parents' nicknames) would soon be walking

among places of greatness.

The first ceremony of the day was to be sworn into the Congressional Black Caucus,

the first Republican in almost 20 years. It was the right thing to do and regardless of

the media attention, all went well and the reception was just fantastic.

When Representative John Lewis came up that day to shake my hand, I reminisced the

days when my parents voted for him...and I told him such. I let him know that I attended

Henry Grady High School and he let me know that his dry cleaners is the one across the

street from my Alma Mater, which I clearly remember. Incoming CBC Chairman Rep Cleaver

spoke about "rebuilding the wall", and I told him that after having stood as a sentinel upon

the external wall of freedom.......I am ready to take my post on the wall of restoring our

Republic, recommitting to our principles, and reclaiming our American pride.

The swearing in ceremony was spectacular and sitting to my right was former

Congressman Clay Shaw, who pinned on my 112th Congressional lapel pin.

It was great to enable Congressman Shaw,

a true American Statesman, to return

to the House floor and be remembered and

honored by his former colleagues.

Up in the gallery, sat Aubrey and Austen, and I pray this was a moment which they

shall never forget. Members of my extended family from both sides came up as well

as so many of my friends that I served with in the military. It was a great moment

for me to take that first picture with the family and especially with my young nephew,

Captain Herman West III, who was in his Army dress blue uniform.

God bless you all from all over the district, Florida, and America who shared this

moment with me.

The cherry on top of the sundae of swearing in day?

When former Commandant of the

Marine Corps General Carl E Mundy,

an Atlanta native as well, honored

our office with a visit to wish me well!

On Thursday, a very special honor came, I read the last part of Article I, Section 8 of

our United States Constitution, also known as the "Necessary and Proper" clause.

To have been part of a historic event, the first ever reading of the Constitution on

the House of Representatives floor will never be forgotten.

So enough of that memorable stuff,

you all sent me up here to work so here are some key points;

- I had a meeting with the Obama Administration Deputy Director for Legislative Affairs

to the US House on Thursday. We presented him with a letter outlining three major focus

areas, small business growth, Afghanistan (to include concerns about Rules of Engagement

and our heinously imprisoned American soldiers), and relations with the State of Israel.

- I had my first two House GOP meetings with the Armed Services and Small Business

Committees. I will be canvassing for small business owners who wish to come and testify

before the committee. As the schedule permits, I will be taking a CODEL

(Congressional Delegation) visit to Afghanistan.

-

I signed on as a co-sponsor on several pieces of legislation, some as an original cosponsor;

Repeal of Obamacare, Balanced Budget Amendment, Prohibition of Federal funding to

Public Broadcasting, End of Lame Duck Act, Repeal of Obamacare Individual Mandate,

Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition (ending federal taxpayer funding to abortions),

and the Birthright Citizenship Bill (prohibiting use of 14th Amendment for children

born to illegal immigrants in America), and Stand Alone requirement for Defense

Appropriations (MILCOM/Veterans Affairs) Bills.

There has been a lot of media attention given to me and you all must realize that

I shall always be straight and to the point. One thing I have seen here already is that

truth seems to be subjective and relative in the D.C. world. And as Jack Nicholson's

character COL. Nathan Jessup stated in the movie "A Few Good Men", there are those

who cannot handle the truth.

The strangest things this week: First, the taxpayer funded Institution of Peace.

Funny, I thought that was the business of the Pentagon. It is a lovely building

just off the back corner from the Lincoln Memorial.

Second, standing at the media interview area in the Cannon rotunda and watching

a Democrat Congressman apply makeup on his face, and it was his own personal makeup.

If anyone ever sees me applying makeup to myself, you have explicit orders to ask a

Capitol Hill Police Officer to arrest me.

I was in the district through this past Tuesday morning and attended the

Palm Beach Police officers ball Saturday and the Zionist of America meeting

in Boca Raton on Sunday. Saturday morning, I had an appearance on Fox and Friends.

In closing, it is an honor to serve all of you, those who voted for me and those who did not.

He And They Just Don’t Get It

Editorial

Now that it’s all over and the People have indeed spoken,
MOST Democrats INCLUDING Barack Hussein Obama still don’t
get it.

I heard Obama’s two press conferences; where in his own
words he said that the Democrats took a “Shellacking” and
that he got the message.

But to me, he’s still saying that the people didn’t
understand, because if they did, they would have embraced
what he, Pelosi and Reid had FORCED through the Congress
AGAINST the will of the people.

That’s not what he’s saying directly.
But that’s what he REALLY means.

As a Demagogic Narcissist par excellence, there is no
way Obama could accept that he was as wrong as a driver
driving the wrong way on a one-way highway.

But all of a sudden, now that Obama’s policies and minions
were massacred at the polls, he says that he “understands”
what the people really want.

ALL OF A SUDDEN . . . ?

Where the hell has he been for the last 18 months as
people were rallying in the hundreds, thousands, tens
of thousands and hundreds of thousands throughout America
AGAINST everything he was doing?

Was Obama so busy with his date-nights, golf games,
White House Rock Concerts, White House Autograph Sessions
with professional athletes and teams, White House Cocktail
Parties with Hollywood movie stars, his Whirlwind Air Force
One jaunts, and his multiple World I Hate America Tours, NOT
to notice the groundswell of discontent all around him?

If he was indeed as blind, deaf and dumb as he’s
admitting, then he is also the MOST incapable and
most stupid person to have ever held such high office
in the United States of America.

Or – He’s not so dumb, but is such an EGOMANIAC, and so
CERTAIN of his GOD-GIVEN brilliance, that he couldn’t see
or hear the cries from an enraged population.

But, anyone who speaks as well as he does, is not blind,
deaf or dumb, and is certainly not stupid. So, in my mind,
it all comes down to the GREATEST display of ARROGANCE I
could NOT have ever imagined.

In my most humble opinion, Obama is such an extraordinary
narcissist that he is INCAPABLE of understanding any view
or passion other than his own. And as far as he is probably
concerned, it isn’t him who doesn’t get it, but most of a
nation who doesn’t have clue-one or a true appreciation for
his brilliance.

Not only will he not bend after this historic defeat of his
policies and his Party, he won’t even be a compromiser.
And he will NEVER be able to understand, let alone accept
how out-of step he is with any reality other than his own.

For him to stand before the people, the day and days after
this crushing personal defeat, and say that the people have
spoken, and it’s all about the economy is a stunning admission
of how out of touch and out of step he REALLY is.

What did he think it was all about from the very first day
he took over the Presidency?

Wasn’t Obama the candidate who campaigned with everything
he had on the economy and joblessness?
“YES WE CAN & CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN”.

I don’t remember him campaigning on a promise to undo
America’s healthcare system, or to smother America with
Cap and Trade, or kill the secret union ballot, or the
takeover of two thirds of the American car industry, or
the takeover of the insurance and banking industries.

Aware people who paid attention to Barack Obama and his
personal history and affiliations BEFORE the 2008 election
had MORE than just an inkling as to who and what Obama was
all about, even though he NEVER focused on the preceding
policies as campaign issues.

I do remember Obama stating with ABSOLUTE clarity for all who
would listen that job creation was his NUMBER-ONE PRIORITY,
before something else became his number-one priority, only
to be substituted by yet another number-one priority . . .
ad infinitum.

At this point in time, Obama has proven beyond a shadow
of uncertainty, not through his words, but through his
actions, that NOTHING he says has any meaning whatsoever,
while everything he does winds up as a disaster.

It’s not that he didn’t hear the people on November 2,
or not understand what they were saying, it’s that he
DIDN’T CARE. Nothing the people said could pierce his
narcissism. HE SIMPLY KNOWS BETTER.

If he cared at all about the American economy and spending
as he claims to, would he be heading off to Asia just days
after the biggest election trouncing in US history on a
TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR A DAY travel extravaganza?

This is not the action of a President who is listening to
the people, or who cares one whit about the economy and a
crushing debt that has become America’s NUMBER ONE security
concern. This is a President who just doesn’t care.

So, when Obama and his Democrat hangers-on now speak of
compromise, conciliation, and non-partisanship between the
Parties, HE IS NOT TO BE BELIEVED OR TRUSTED.

The people did not send the Republicans to Washington for
the same-old, same-old - THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.

They want the government to stop spending. They want the
government to stop growing. They want the government to
reduce the bureaucracy and restrictions on business.
They want the government to pay down the debt and
reduce taxes.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT IS LESS GOVERNMENT.
And what the people voted for was a PARTY OF HELL NO.

If the Republicans know what’s good for them, they will
NOT compromise on any of the principles the people have
demanded by sending them to Washington.

The good news is that everything I’m hearing from the
Speaker of the House Designate John Boehner and Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is that they have heard
the message LOUD AND CLEAR, and have no intentions whatso-
ever of playing nice with a President who is the SINGLE
GREATEST THREAT, not just to the security of the United
States of America, but rather to the ENTIRE existence of
the United States of America as the world knows it.

If America is going to be saved, as I think it will be
after much pain, it will ONLY be because of those Red Neck
Conservatives who are proud to be clinging to their guns
and religion.

And about Obama’s BILLION or TWO BILLION dollar PLUS trip
to India:

What does that say about Obama getting the message from
the people, when average American families who foot the
ENTIRE bill for his extravagances are not sleeping at night,
worried about their jobs, their homes, and how to put food
on the table?

Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov
