This morning I put up the following open letter to Senator Lieberman regarding the Americorps Inspector General Walpin controversy. If anyone would like to modify this letter and send it to any other Senators, etc. please do.
An Open Letter to United States Senator Joe Lieberman
Dear Senator Lieberman:
First, I want to thank you for your continuing support of Israel. With the media and most of the world appearing to have both a pro-Palestinian and a strong anti-Israel bias, you are one of few who are willing to stand with Israel in its quest for a secure lasting peace. If Israel’s right to exist and its security are not guaranteed, any peace agreement imposed on Israel would likely be short-lived and result in an even more dangerous world.
However, I am writing this morning is express my deep concern over the way the Obama Administration is running roughshod over anyone who opposes his policies or calls on the carpet friends of his. I am referring to the despicable treatment Americorps Inspector General Walpin is receiving from the Obama Administration. To unfairly characterize Mr. Walpin as “confused” is the type of attack only Saul Alinsky would approve of. Senator please take note that there appears to be at least one witness who contradicts the claims of the Obama Administration.
I pray you will talk with this witness and Inspector General Walpin and do what you can for his cause. To unjustly and publicly attack Inspector General Walpin’s mental capacity is beneath contempt and causes many people angst and to question the kind of country we live in. I have observed Inspector General Walpin on several television spots and he appears smart, articulate, committed to his work protecting taxpayer dollars, and totally lucid. As you know, it is the role of every Inspector General to follow the traces of corruption wherever they may lead, even if they lead to the friends of the Obama Administration or to members of his or her own Party. We need more Inspector Generals like Mr. Walpin, not fewer.
Regarding the growing angst present in America, I also hope you will consider a listener letter that Glenn Beck shared yesterday. Janet Contreras, a mom and grandmother, speaks eloquently and passionately of serious concerns she (and many others) has about our “Representative” government. Her letter can be found at here.
Below is an excerpt from Ms. Contreras’ letter that touches what millions of Americans are feeling, thinking and asking.
…The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation…(Senator Lieberman -please read the entire letter)
In conclusion, thank you Senator Lieberman for your consistent support of our military, Israel and peace. And one more thing, if you have the time and inclination, would you please contact Janet Contreras and let her know if you are one who can “Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written”.
Sincerely,
Zach Jones

Maybe we will be able to have some of our elected "Representatives" come to Inspector General Walpin's defense! Who knows maybe Senator Lieberman or some other Member of Congress can be persuaded to ask the question - Where's the Birth Certificate?
UPDATE: Obama appears to be on Iranian Media's Poop List. From the Tehran Times we have the following article-
Former AmeriCorps official says Obama removed him for 'doing my job'
Gerald Walpin was removed by President Obama last week as the inspector general for AmeriCorps and other service programs. His decision followed Walpin's investigation into the alleged misuse of federal grants by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA star and an Obama supporter, and the nonprofit education group he headed.
An official responsible for monitoring how federal funds for volunteerism are spent told FOX News he was fired by President Obama for doing his job, and suggested it was payback for investigating the alleged misuse of grant money by the Sacramento mayor, an Obama backer....Continue Reading
Maybe next week we will see the Iranian supreme leader Ayatolah Ali Khamenei ask - Where's the Birth Certificate?
