Exclusive "2016" Update with Dinesh D'Souza

Update Profile / Unsubscribe

November 26, 2013 Dear Friends, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that this week is Thanksgiving, and we have a lot to be thankful for in America. We are living in a nation that is truly exceptional, and we still enjoy freedoms unlike those found anywhere else in the world. The American dream is still the dream of millions across the globe. The bad news is that there are those within our country that seek to undermine this exceptionalism and "take us down a notch." What's worse is that one of those people happens to be the President of the United States. When I directed 2016: Obama's America over a year ago, I prayed that I would be wrong. The damage that I predicted Obama would do to our country could never be worth an "I told you so." Unfortunately, I wasn't wrong. Wielding a weaponized national debt and a disdain for our standing in the world, President Obama draws us nearer and nearer to the dystopia that I warned against in 2016. Because of this rapid decline, I created a special, eight-minute update to 2016 that you need to see. This exclusive video just came out, and you can click here to view it right now. If you're fed up with our current president's disregard for the founders' vision of America, forward this email to a friend to share your access to the video. Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S.

instaPoll: Do you believe that the United States should unilaterally reduce the tough sanctions it has placed on Iran in the hope that doing so will make a deal to disarm their nuclear program more likely?

Earlier this month, the Administration announced that it would support "limited, targeted, and reversible" easing of international sanctions against Iran if they agreed to halt their nuclear program. In July, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill strengthening and expanding existing U.S. sanctions.  Despite the strong bipartisan support for this legislation, the President urged Senate leaders this week to oppose enacting additional sanctions while the talks in Geneva are ongoing. The P5+1 negotiations with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council – the United States, China, Russia, Britain, and France – plus Germany, began in October, and the next round of talks is scheduled to begin this week.  The goal of the negotiations is to reach an agreement regarding how to address Iran's nuclear program.  Question of the week:   Do you believe that the United States should unilaterally reduce the tough sanctions it has placed on Iran in the hope that doing so will make a deal to disarm their nuclear program more likely? ( ) Yes. ( ) No. ( ) I don't know.  ( ) Other. Take the Poll here. Find the results of last week's InstaPoll here

instaPoll: Do you believe that it is constitutional for government meetings �� whether local, state or federal – to be opened with prayer?

This week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Town of Greece v. Galloway, a case challenging the constitutionality of prayer before town meetings. Since 1999, the town of Greece, New York has had a policy allowing members of the local clergy or local residents who wish to offer a prayer at the beginning of town council meetings to request to do so.  Two residents of the town filed a lawsuit challenging the policy as unconstitutional, saying they felt coerced to participate in the prayers and believed the prayers were primarily Christian.   Thirty years ago, the Court recognized that "opening of sessions of legislative and other deliberative public bodies with prayer is deeply embedded in the history and tradition of this country."   In doing so, the Court ruled that prayer before such meetings is constitutional as long as it does not serve to proselytize or disparage any faith or belief.  Question of the week: Do you believe that it is constitutional for government meetings – whether local, state or federal – to be opened with prayer? ( ) Yes. ( ) No. ( ) I don't know.  ( ) Other. Take the Poll here. Find the results of last week's InstaPoll here.
