Welcome to M14 National Monument, please keep your head down and stay with the group.  We wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you while you visit Organ Pipe National Monument, where the border is more secure than ever.

Liz Goodwin recently wrote about her visit to Organ Pipe National Monument.  About 69% of the park has been closed since 2002, when Park Ranger Kris Eggle was murdered by drug runners.

As Ms. Goodwin notes, things have improved at the park.  Since 2009, you can take a van tour to the springs in the park, but you’ll be escorted by Park Rangers protected with bullet proof vests and armed with M14 Battle Rifles.   Oh yeah, there will be more officers in the hills keeping watch for cartel members that may ruin your day.  Due to increased law enforcement presence, on March 1st, 2012, around 46% of the monument will be open to visitors.  Let that sink in.  You can’t visit 54% of your national monument because, it’s just too dangerous.

The danger to visitors in Organ Pipe National Monument is even higher than Saguaro National Monument and Coronado National Memorial.   The Mexican drug trade to the United States is at least $39 billion per year, and the thousands of weapons trafficked South by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives remains unquantified.  We need to evaluate the loss of access to parts of the U.S. and the increase in wealth of certain political elites who fight to make more of our borderland “protected environmental areas”.   Certainly, gun control wasn’t the only motivation for the criminal Operation Fast and Furious.

For some perspective, the DMZ between North and South Korea is a safer place to visit.  Just remember when Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano and President Obama claim that “border security is better than ever“,  it all depends on what the meaning of the word “is” actually is.

If you think the porous border isn’t a serious issue, just remember, when you eat a cheap burger, admire your inexpensively manicured lawn, or snort a line of cheap cocaine, there is a enormous price paid by some Americans (and Mexicans) for that little luxury you enjoy, while you smugly pine that you are looking out for those less fortunate than you.

My new hero is a woman named Janet Contreras from our home state of Arizona. She wrote a brilliant letter to Glenn Beck, and I was just informed that he read it on the air today during the “Glenn Beck” Show on FOX.

I read the letter and I am moved. It’s almost exactly what I have been thinking and saying about the state of our Nation, how Democrats and Republicans don’t represent the people any longer, and how we, the people, will be coming for those who don’t care to represent us or the Constitution.

Here is the letter in full – The Glenn Beck Letter by Janet Contreras

IMHO, this letter is going to be BIG, and will serve as the rallying cry for those of us who are fed up with being overtaxed, overworked, and under-listened to.

Republican, Democrat or Libertarian – your party affiliation, or lack of, does not matter.  You need to read this if you feel that you are no longer being represented.

In case you’re not sold yet, here’s one of my favorite paragraphs and one of the best statements:

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don’t want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we’re morons.

We didn’t ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.
