WA State GOP Convention




The Washington State 2012 GOP Convention was held in Tacoma this year and there was a record breaking turn out for it.  People that have never been involved in politics before are now getting involved due to the concern generally felt throughout the population over the FAILURE of our elected officials to do the right thing. 



 Among other things, there is concern over our national security.

Intelligence leaks purported by the Obama administration have drawn the concern and ire from Democrats and Republicans Senators alike.

Combating Terrorism requires a robust counter intelligence campaign Because of our anti terrorism effort the following unclassified actions have occurred.

“At least 42 terrorist plots targeted against the United States have been foiled since 9/11. The top five post-9/11 targets include:
1. New York City: targeted at least 12 times.
2. Military targets: targeted at least 10 times.
3. Washington, D.C.: targeted at least 5 times.
4. Diplomats and politicians: targeted 5 times.
5. Religious facilities: targeted 4 times.

Contrary to the common misperception that most terrorists are illiterate or come from extreme poverty, studies have shown that terrorists often tend to be more highly educated and from wealthier families than the rest of the population of origin.

Bottom line:  Published accounts in the New York Times of classified operations will be read and used by the terrorists. Although these articles may make the administration look tough, these leaks put lives and our security at risk.
