National Guard Overrun At U.S. Border

Yesterday, our National Guard retreated from hostile forces at our border! Unable to engage the enemy because their role is only in an administrative capacity, the greatest fighting force in the history of the world retreated at the U.S. Border when confronted by armed illegals!

I fully expect to see more of these kinds of "tests" by illegal drug runners, coyotes, and possibly even militia in the coming days, weeks and months. Given the status of U.S. Border Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are going to prison for attempting to apprehend an illegal drug smuggler, and the fact that our National Guard cannot engage the enemy, these skirmishes will continue and likely escalate...

Unless grassroots Americans say "ENOUGH!"

We need to say "enough" to the gross miscarriage of justice being perpetrated on Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean who must surrender to federal officials and begin their decade long prison terms in just 12 days!

We need to say "enough" to our leadership who refuses to acknowledge the crisis at the border. Our Border Agents and National Guardsman must be empowered to protect us by whatever means necessary!

That is why Grassfire is headed to Washington next week!

It is also why I need you to help me rally an additional 50,000 citizen signatures calling for the pardon of border agents Ramos and Compean!

I intend to march with leadership to the White House with your petitions demanding action, and I am counting on your help.

+ + Action Item--Alert Your Friends

The grassroots voice of America must speak loudly in support of these border agents--men who were doing their jobs to protect our nation from drug traffickers and criminals. Now their lives are in peril.
