OPERATION GUNRUNNER: OBAMA CONSPIRACY AGAINST WE THE PEOPLE?

Fellow Patriots, after some research into Operation Gunrunner and its offspring Fast and Furious I sent this letter to Washington. Please share this with your congressional delegation and everyone you know. Are government officials above the law? Who will have the courage to stand up and demand the law be enforced for everyone?

Sen. Grassley, Rep. Issa,                                                                                                               June 3, 2011

I am writing about the controversy over the BAFTE and “Project Gunrunner”.  I have discovered quite a lot about this operation in my research.  I have read about the illegal activities and the deaths involved, including that of Border patrol Agent Brian Terry on December 10, 2010 in a remote area near Nogales, Arizona.  I don’t know how much information you have on this so I will let you know what I know and hope that, as the members of Congress investigating this matter, you have more information than I have.  The gun dealers involved in this reported the suspected straw purchases to the BAFTE, as required by federal law, and were told to let them walk so the guns could be traced to crimes in Mexico.  The guns were never traced and this was only discovered because one of the guns was left at the scene of the shootout with the border patrol agents that resulted in the death of Agent Terry. 

Hillary Clinton runs all over the world decrying the “gun show loophole” and claiming that guns bought at gun shows and dealers like the ones in Arizona are the cause of the violence in Mexico.  We all know that this is a huge lie to impose their brand of Marxist tyranny upon We the People of the United States of America.  I believe the number she claims is 90% of the guns used in crimes come from gun dealers in the United States.  You and I all know, as does Hillary, that this is an absolute lie but she spouts it anyway.

According to Darren Gil, the agency’s attaché in Mexico City, he was not informed of this operation nor was anyone in the Mexican government.  Mr. Gil was forced to resign and claims that the authority for this operation came from the BATFE director and the Justice Department, headed by Eric Holder.   When Mr. Gil found out about an unusually high number of guns captured by Mexican authorities being traced back to Phoenix, he asked for information. He told CBS in an interview that the meetings in which he challenged his superiors about the operation turned into shouting matches and he was instructed to continue to keep his Mexican counterparts in the dark about the operation. 

BATFE agent John Dodson was also attempting to use the “whistleblower” statutes to reveal this illegal operation but was thwarted by a lack of response from superiors who refused to answer e-mails and telephone calls.  Agent Dodson told CBS that his superiors told him that “if they were going to make omelets that they had to break some eggs”.  It is a shame that one of those “eggs” that had to be broken was Brian Terry.  All the time this was going on the administration was using the violence in Mexico as an excuse to attempt to subvert the 2^nd Amendment and restrict law abiding citizens from owning firearms in violation of the Constitution. 

Barak Obama and Eric Holder both claim to be ignorant of this operation but are they not responsible for the actions of the bureaucrats that they appoint to office?  I believe they not only knew about this operation but also either conceived it or approved it.  This action rises to the level of conspiracy to violate numerous laws, violations that would land me a very long prison sentence if I committed them.   Am I to assume that it is permissible for the President of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Director of the BATFE to enter into a conspiracy to violate firearms laws and the Constitution?   If I am bound by these laws certainly the top law enforcement officer of the nation and his boss, the president, should be subject to these same laws.

I ask you to do your duty as the members of Congress investigating this matter to file charges and order the arrest of Barak Obama, Eric Holder, and the Director of the BATFE Kenneth Melson for murder in the death of Agent Terry, conspiracy to violate firearms laws, conspiracy to cover up this illegal action, and treason for conspiracy to intentionally violate the provisions of the 2^nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.  As a law abiding citizen of the United States, I cannot stand by and allow the very highest officers in this nation to flagrantly violate the law, and neither can you. 

The continued obfuscation and cover-up of this operation is a matter of grave concern to all people who wish to live in a free Republic.  If these men are allowed to escape justice for their actions what does that say about the rule of law in our land?  What does it say to people like myself who obey the law and do our best to make this country great?  If this goes unpunished does it mean that I can do as I wish and ignore any law that is inconvenient to me?  That seems to be what Obama, Holder, Melson, and others have done, ignore the very law they swore to uphold.  What kind of example does that set for others if they are above the law and are allowed to do as they please because they are better than I?

I guess my question to you is will you do what is called for by law or will you sit around and wring your hands and do nothing?  Will you do your duty as officers of the federal government to uphold the law and the Constitution or will you sit back and hold hearings that gain no information, and let this slide so as to not make waves?  Do you have the courage to stand on law and order or will you turn a blind eye to evil and corruption?  The whole nation is looking for elected officials who will stand by their oath of office and represent the Constitution and We the People of the United States of America, a quality that seems to be in very short supply these days.  Will you be the ones we are looking for to show true leadership and integrity or will you be another cog in the wheel of that corruption?  I know members of Congress aren’t very good at answering letters but I would very much appreciate an answer to this one.  I think the American people deserve an answer to the questions I have posed here.  Are you truly servants of the people? 

I am sending this letter to Sen. Charles Grassley, Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. Jim Inhofe, Sen. Harry Reid, Sen. Mitch McConnell, Rep. Dan Boren, Rep. John Boehner, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and Rep. Darrell Issa.

I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.

In God We Trust,
