Outrage In Iowa Over Obama ‘DREAMer’ Who Killed 12-Year-Old Girl

Click here: Open borders agenda claims another victim. Lopez Aguilar was a loser: a scruffy 18-year-old who had entered the country illegally from Mexico at age seven, and who’d had previous run-ins with the police. And earlier this month, he was taken into custody for causing a horrific three-vehicle crash in Des Moines – a  crash fatally injured 12-year-old Lea Phann, a popular 7th grader, and seriously injured four other people, including Phann’s grandfather.

Obama Advocates for UN Gun Treaty Ratification

Click here: Second Amendment advocates are concerned the treaty could provide an international law rationalization for a national gun registry in the United States, and is overly vague. “The language is so vague it could almost mean anything. A lot could be done to rationalize gun control. The treaty has no prohibitions, no thou-shalt-nots,” says Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America.
