Mia Love Defends the American Dream

"We shall nobly save, or meanly lose,
the last best hope of earth"

Mia Love, mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah; GOP candidate for U.S. Congress; and Operation Black Storm candidate delivered a passionate and wildly successful speech at the Republican National Convention.

Mia, quoting our first Republican president Abraham Lincoln, claimed for us a high destiny as a nation and a people. She extolled the vision of America that the GOP Platform illumines and defends, blasted Obama for his "failed" policies, and evoked the core principles of just and responsible self-government that are essential to protect the "American dream."

Here are a few highlights from Mia's convention address:

Let me tell you about the America I know.

My parents immigrated to this country with ten dollars in their pocket,

and the hope … that the America that they had heard about … really did exist.

When tough times came, they didn't look to Washington, they looked within.

So the America I grew up knowing … was centered in self reliance,

and filled with the possibilities of living the American dream.

The American Dream isn't just my story.

It isn't just your story.

It's our story.

It's a story … of human struggle, standing up and striving for more.

Our story has been told for over 200 years … with small steps and giant leaps;

from a woman on a bus … to a man with a dream;

from the bravery of the greatest generation, to the innovators and entrepreneurs of today.

This is our story.

This is our America.

This is the America we know … because WE BUILT IT…

God bless America.

This is our time.

We are truly THE … BEST … LAST … HOPE … OF … EARTH!

Only 36 years old, Mia is a staunch conservative challenging Democrat Rep. Jim Matheson, a six-term incumbent. Cook Political Report rates the race a tossup, and we hope Mia's tremendous performance on Tuesday night at the Republican Convention could give her campaign a major boost.

Mia has received endorsements and vital support from Allen West and Operation Black Storm from the earliest days of her candidacy. Thanks in part to YOUR support, Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) has solidly won his primary! But the Congressman is still battling a disgraceful Democrat opponent promoted by racist SuperPAC ads against West – and paid for by the Democrat nominee's own father!

To top that off, West constantly challenges Barack Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi, TWO George Soros SuperPACs AND the Marxist Congressional Black Caucus. It's a good thing that Col. Allen West is a combat-tested veteran, mission ready and in command – because confronting the radical left's lies is a non-stop duty!

Yet even with all that confronts him, Allen West finds time to endorse and assist worthy candidates who merit his support. So we MUST do all in our power to send reinforcements to Washington. It is time for Frederick Douglass Republican allies to storm Capitol Hill!

Mia Love of Utah's 4th District:

"I am deeply honored and humbled to have received Congressman Alan West's endorsement for our Congressional campaign," Love said. "I am proud to call him an ally in the fight for limited government, fiscal discipline and personal responsibility."

"I look forward to continuing to work with Congressman West to make sure that, both in Washington and Utah, we are enacting policies to get our nation back on track and ensuring our children will enjoy the same freedom and opportunity that have always been the birthright of every American."

The need has NEVER been so urgent. Allen West warns that under Obama statism – unless the People take our nation back from the Marxists – we are losing America!

Nancy Pelosi was asked about her opinion on the Supreme Court's decision that the individual mandate constituted a tax after the Obama regime had been arguing that it wasn't a tax. Nancy Pelosi basically said "who cares what it is called as long as it was upheld." Pelosi dodged the tax question with a non-answer – here are her exact words:

"Call it what you will – it is a step forward for America's families. And you know what? Take yes for an answer. This is a very good thing for the American people. What you're talking about here is Washington talk."

She went on to talk about how the Supreme Court majority opinion that the mandate is a tax was a "technical term" and it shouldn't really mean anything to the American people. Pelosi ducked answering the question because she knows middle class families will be hardest hit by the ObamaCare ObamaTax, and she knows Barack Obama promised not to raise taxes on the middle class. But for all the leftwing redistributionists, the end justifies the means, "so who cares what the mandate is called."

Fortunately for us, Allen West cares! There is a wonderful interview he conducted after Nancy Pelosi made her inane comments where he politely called her "somewhat delusional" and wondered aloud if she would feel so indifferent about "Washington talk" if the government ordered everyone to buy a 9mm Glock or face a tax penalty. PELOSI IS SO ANGERED BY HIS BOLDNESS, SHE HAS MADE ALLEN WEST HER NUMBER ONE TARGET FOR DEFEAT, helping with TWO different SuperPACs to replace him in Congress!

Rep. West went on to denounce the ObamaCare opinion as a "horrific decision" by the Supreme Court, and stated that it is "behavior modification by way of taxation."

Obama's violations against the Constitution, communistic, "progressive" usurpations of Congress' lawmaking powers, and raw aggression against Judicial Branch impartiality ruling on the Constitutionality of cases are CRIMES aided and abetted not only by his corrupt Executive Branch lackeys like Eric Holder, but by virtual communists and the "blame America firsters" of the liberty-hating and equality-undermining Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).

Rep. Allen West tells it like it is: Obama's defiance of the rule of law, and the shameful conduct of the CBC is RACIST; it is fueled by hateful, bigoted Marxist ideology that holds America's principles of justice and human equality in contempt!

It also aids and abets the Democrat Party in dereliction of duty. Allen West spoke recently at the Florida State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) 63rd Annual Conference. He explained the current condition of our great nation, and how we are losing it.

He started his talk saying bluntly:

"I'm 51 years of age and I've never seen our country in the situation that it finds itself right now. We are losing the United States of America. We are in a country that is 16 trillion dollars in debt. We are in a country that is borrowing 42 cents on every dollar. We are in a country where people say the unemployment rate is at 8.2%. The unemployment rate in the United States of America is not 8.2%; it is closer to 15%."

Rep. West has argued correctly the Constitutional position – that our national plight arises from those in Washington abandoning founding principle; it is the result of FAILURE of leadership.

We need MORE fighters in Congress who like West will come out swinging against Big Government DEPENDENCY and outrages like unconstitutional Executive Orders and ObamaCare – against EXECUTIVE BRANCH USURPATIONS AND INTIMIDATIONS; against government paternalism, government nanny-statism, government coercion, government intrusion, government compulsion, government oppression. As West has declared: "ObamaCare is unconstitutional, anti-constitutional and, most certainly, an awful piece of American policy." West IS a Frederick Douglass Republican, in whom it may truly be said, brightly burns liberty's flame!

Our Frederick Douglass Republicans take Obama and his faction head-on, fearlessly repudiating the left's baseless yet very destructive cries of "racism" against all who resist their communistic transformation of our legacy of liberty and freedom.

The endgame of Obama's strategy is the Marxist "transformation" of our democratic Republic. But Obama and the corrupt Democrat Party cannot tell the truth about what they are REALLY doing. So they just call all who oppose them on their policies and principles "racists" and "Uncle Toms."

And the Obama agenda is UNACCEPTABLE to the vast majority of Americans! Obama does not love America. He does not have America's best interests at heart. He is a delusional narcissist with contempt for the Constitution and no regard for the rule of law. Obama is indifferent to the dangers to which he exposes America in his ruthless, grasping quest for office, and the destruction he wreaks to our ordered liberty and institutions of self-government.

Obama, the Campaigner-in-Chief, is willing to divide America on matters of race, creed and color like our nation has not seen since the rending wounds of the Civil War. Obama will NOT rest until the United States of America becomes the Socialist States of America and his radical agenda is in place with every Citizen dependent on Big Brother because there will be NO jobs, NO national harmony, NO unity.

Since their election in 2010, Operation Black Storm Candidates Allen West and Tim Scott have taken Washington by storm by bringing the FREEDOM principles of Frederick Douglass Republicans and the LIBERTY message of Constitutional Conservatism back to our nation's Capital. BUT ALLEN WEST AND TIM SCOTT NEED YOUR HELP to carry on the fight in the halls of Congress!

West and Scott are running hard for re-election, but as established conservative leaders, they are ALSO seeking allies and "comrades in arms"! Let's send this strong woman contender who will CONFOUND the race-baiting Obama left – Mia Love from Utah!

Mia Love is currently the mayor of Saratoga Springs, but she also recently won a primary race to become the Republican candidate in Utah's 4th Congressional District. She will face incumbent Democrat Jim Matheson in November. A victory over Matheson would make Love the first black Republican congresswoman in the House of Representatives.

"The Democrats, and the left, say I don't exist," Love said in her candidate forum to CPAC in February. "I'm not supposed to exist. I'm a strong conservative, I'm female, I'm black – if anybody hasn't noticed. I'm a strong and a proud Republican, I am a daughter of immigrant parents, I believe in fiscal discipline because I grew up that way. I believe in limited government because my parents realized, 'Hey, the only thing I need is opportunity. I don't need charity, I just need opportunity.' And last, but not least, I believe in the power of personal responsibility and how that is the pride of Americans."

On the heels of Operation Black Storm's 2010 success in helping elect Rep. Allen West (FL) and Rep. Tim Scott (SC), OBS is proud to endorse and support Mia Love for Congress!

Mia Love knows all about fighting against government programs and politicians, who advance themselves with empty lies and false hopes. The child of poor immigrant parents, her family made their own way pursuing the American dream. Mia was taught patriotism, faith and self-reliance. Her parents sought opportunity, not entitlements, and aspired to independence.

Mia says that her parents immigrated to this country from Haiti with nothing but a strong family and a solid work ethic. "My father, who took two jobs to help pay for my education, was a living example of personal responsibility. He is proud to say he didn't take a handout. When I graduated from college, my father told me, 'You will not be a burden to society. You will give back…' I am mayor of Saratoga Springs and I am running for Congress with this small government, fiscally responsible philosophy: We are not entitled to anything we don't own, earn, work for, or pay for ourselves. The era of entitlements needs to end."

Every day, somewhere in the country, the Democrat elites pull out and viciously play their omnipresent race card against independent, accomplished citizen patriots and lovers of liberty like Mia Love. If you have ever been on the receiving end of these false attacks, you know how repugnant, sickening and unfair they can be. Congress desperately needs the voices of more minority conservatives to ANSWER BACK, help break the bonds of racialist tyranny that hold people back from freedom, and liberate black America from the Democrats' plantation politics.

Mia has GREAT ANSWERS! As she declares, "I have yet to meet a Tea Party member who wants to see me 'hanging on a tree,' as U.S. Rep. Andre Carson of Indiana recently suggested. He says the Tea Party considers me a second-class citizen. In truth, as a black conservative woman in Utah, I have been welcomed into the arms of a freedom-loving movement. The Tea Party reflects the principles of freedom and prosperity black Americans have long fought to win…"

"The inflammatory rhetoric and class-warfare agenda of many of today's Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members do not reflect the values upon which this country was founded. As an American who is also black, I am proud to align myself with the forces of freedom."

Mia has noted that "Andre Carson's comments, along with those of Rep. Maxine Waters of California telling the Tea Party to 'go straight to hell,' send a disturbingly hostile message. As the only conservative member in the 43-member caucus, Rep. Allen West of Florida has urged the chairman of the CBC to condemn 'hate-filled comments' of some members. West is still waiting for a response from the caucus, but what he really needs are reinforcements in Congress who will better reflect the diversity of views held by black Americans."

Mia is ready, willing and able to lead those reinforcements! PLEASE support our efforts and help Operation Black Storm empower Mia Love's challenge to Matheson in Utah…

We know, of course, that today during a highly divisive election season things are only going to get worse on the campaign trail. Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) loaded with bigots like Andre Carson are more interested in igniting divisive racism than extinguishing it. Far from promoting freedom or unity, the Obama-CBC agenda calls for ever-increasing levels of animosity, and for black Americans fear, alienation, isolation and dependency as an engine for "getting out the vote."

Just in time for America's glorious Independence Day, this same Congressman Andre Carson – who with the CBC's Keith Ellison of Michigan is one of only two professing Muslims in the U.S. Congress – advocated another jaunt down bigotry's path, with the following outrageous statement about inner-city schools:

"America will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our Madrassas, in our schools, where innovation is encouraged, where the foundation is the Koran. And that model what we're pushing in some of our schools that meets the multiple needs of students."

Yes, Carson is talking about Madrassas, the Islamic schools where only the Koran is taught, where there is NO innovation, NO scientific, medical or mathematical advancements, no Nobel Prize winners produced. Where the most famous example of a Madrassa in the United States is the Saudi Academy of Northern Virginia, whose most famous valedictorian was recently sentenced to life in federal prison for plotting to assassinate President George W. Bush.

Those Madrassas.

Mia is not intimidated by Carson's anti-Americanism. She knows the principles of the Tea Party and patriot movement are all-American, whatever a person's background. "You don't have to be white – or black, or Hispanic, or Asian, or anything else – to care about the important issues facing our nation. My priorities of fiscal discipline, personal responsibility and smaller government draw upon my own experience as an American," Mia has written.

The CBC legislative agenda calls for ever-increasing levels of dependency for black Americans through federally initiated entitlement programs. Mia Love believes that trimming government and getting it out of the way of economic recovery is the best way to create jobs and wealth that enable people to pull themselves out of poverty. Personal responsibility cannot be omitted from the equation.

More importantly, leaders in black communities such as members of the CBC must stop demonizing those who promote such values. Mia is determined to join Florida Rep. Allen West and help put on the brakes. One of Mia Love's expressed goals, should she make it to the House of Representatives, is – like West – to join the Congressional Black Caucus in order to "take that thing apart from the inside out," as she says.

Mia Love is already drawing the vicious attacks of the left for charting this course, and for allying herself with Congressmen Allen and Scott, the Tea Parties and Operation Black Storm. Love's message for both the incumbent Matheson and the Democrat Party is simple: "Game on."

This is exactly why Operation Black Storm exists, and why WE are supporting and endorsing Mia Love for Congress!

We need to send Mia to Washington, to join Representatives West and Scott on Capitol Hill. Since their election in 2010, Operation Black Storm Congressmen Allen West and Tim Scott have rocked Washington DC, by bringing the principles of Frederick Douglass Republicans and message of black conservatism back to our nation's Capital. Representatives West & Scott have often been the only members of Congress unafraid of the racism charges favored by the Tyrant in Chief, unabashedly calling out Obama and the Black Congressional Caucus for their disastrous policies and obvious race baiting.

BUT ALLEN WEST AND TIM SCOTT NEED MORE ALLIES IN CONGRESS, AND THAT MEANS MIA LOVE NEEDS YOUR HELP FOR VICTORY!

Representatives West and Scott cannot "hold the line" alone. They need more Frederick Douglass constitutionalists to stand with them to defeat the race baiting, plantation politics of the left. They need solid moral and fiscal conservatives like Mia Love to restore the Republican Party to its true constitutional roots. Let's break the bonds of dependency, big government, and racism – once and for all!

As we head into the heart of perhaps one of the most important – but racially and economically polarized election cycles of our lifetime – we need to continue our success in carrying the message of freedom. Help us fill Congress with dedicated, liberty loving, social and fiscal conservatives who can free America from the bondage of leftist class warfare and shameful RINO "me too" Republicanism. We are proud to endorse Mia Love, candidate for Utah's 4th Congressional District – and we implore YOUR support for this patriot lady and our OBS efforts NOW!

Congressman Allen West on
Black Republican History

Elected in 2010, Congressman and Operation Black Storm Candidate Allen West has taken Washington by storm.

With his fellow alumnus, Class of 2010 Congressman Tim Scott, these champions of We the People are TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GOP & BLACK HISTORY, answering the lies of the left with the truth of today, and bringing Frederick Douglass Republicanism (FDR) back to the halls of Congress.

They are upholding in our nation's capital and in the mainstream media FDR's Four Life-Empowering Values of Respect for the Constitution; Respect for Life; Belief in Limited Government; and Belief in Personal Responsibility.

These core values of individual and political principle inform an agenda that heals, inspires and empowers ALL Americans.

The Frederick Douglass Republican message

For those of you who missed it on C-SPAN, posted above is a video of the historic Black Conservative Forum, that Congressman Allen West sponsored, with, among others, our friends K.Carl Smith, his brother, Dr. Karnie Smith and Rev. C.L. Bryant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YIcwS6pyfI . Please share this link with all.

The Frederick Douglass Republican message is really taking off, and the Smiths' book "Frederick Douglass Republicans: The Movement to Re-ignite America's Passion for Liberty", available from Amazon, is flying off the shelves! K.Carl can barely keep up with his requests for speaking engagements- everything from The National Federation of Republican Women, to Hip Hop Republicans (one every week in February).....

Class warfare is Anti-American

Honoring one of the great heroes of the civil rights movement, President Obama recently used the imagery and power of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy to legitimize protesters squatting in parks across the country.

A better symbol of the Occupy Wall Street movement comes from my parent's home country of Haiti. The image of Jean Bertrand Aristide telling Haiti's poor to "catch someone who does not deserve to be where he is" and "give him what he deserves" embodies the same spirit of class warfare being perpetuated by some of today's OWS protesters. The disastrous results of Aristide's campaign of hate should not be replicated in America....

The disappearing black middle class

Millions of Americans endured financial calamities in the recession. But for many in the black community, job loss has knocked them out of the middle class and back into poverty. And some experts warn of a historic reversal of hard-won economic gains that took black people decades to achieve.

“History is going to say the black middle class was decimated” over the past few years, said Maya Wiley, director of the Center for Social Inclusion. “But we’re not done writing history.”... [Read More]

Why do blacks still let Obama off the hook?

A Chicago Sun Times article, headlined "The disappearing black middle class," reports on the disproportionate effect of these hard economic times on blacks.

According to the data, taken from the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute, median net worth of white households fell from $134,280 in 2004 to $97,860 in 2009, while over the same period median black household net worth went from $13, 450 to $2,170... [Read More]
