I had the distinct pleasure to stand with seven giants yesterday morning on the steps of the State Capital in Tallahassee, Florida.

These seven men are my very good friends Tom Trento, Jerry Gordon, Representative Adam Hasner, Frank Gaffney, Martin J. Mawyer, Joe Kaufman, and Kelly Cook. Each is an expert in their field. Each is dedicated to protecting our nation and its constitution.

We gathered on the capital steps to expose Ahmed Bedier the founder/leader of a group named United Voices for America. Mr. Bedier and his organization were in Tallahassee yesterday for "Muslim Day".

Each speaker made it perfectly clear that we supported and encourage anyone and any organization to petition their elected representatives. However, we made it clear that we wanted transparency so elected officials understand who they are talking with. We provided information about Mr. Bedier and United Voices for America to each of the 120 state representatives and 40 state senators.

I challenged the fourth estate (our media) to investigate the fifth column (the stealth jihad) going on in Florida and across America.

Representative Hasner has an excellent article titled Obama: Pro-Israel talk, anti-Israel walk posted on the American Thinker. Here are excerpts from that article:

Barely a month into the presidency of Barack Obama, a profound realization is spreading among the pro-Israel community: we do not have an ally in the White House. The growing threat that Israel and the Jewish People now face demands an immediate acceptance of the "facts on the ground" regarding President Obama's perspective and agenda, and decisive action to prevent the frightening reality that he may play a leading role in creating.

So how exactly did this get by most Jewish voters during last year's election? While some, including this author, warned of his dubious associations and likely course of action regarding Israel, Obama brilliantly pandered to Jewish crowds around the country with his scripted and amorphous proclamations of support for Israel, while utilizing an array of prominent Jewish surrogates in order to avoid any real accountability.

Under the new Obama administration, our federal government is now beginning to comfortably operate within the realm of the anti-Israel perspective espoused by the likes of Mearsheimer and Walt, who argue that the political clout of American Jews is used to manipulate U.S. foreign policy in favor of Israel at the expense of broader American interests.  On one hand, President Obama receives advice on Israel, Iran and the entire Middle East from advisors such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samantha Power, and Chas Freeman, all of whom possess strong anti-Israel biases that are well documented.  Freeman, whose nomination to a top intelligence post faces growing criticism, was quoted as saying "the primary reason America confronts a terrorism problem today... is the brutal oppression of the Palestinians by an Israeli occupation."  As if that were not bad enough, even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is apparently now joining the fray with her recent remarks intended to unduly pressure Israel.

On the other hand, there is also a faction of prominent Jewish politicians who don't seem willing to speak out against the President's judgment or the actions we are now witnessing. While allowing President Obama to tout their Jewish identities for political gain, these politicians are also helping the Administration to confer mainstream status and legitimacy upon treacherous new Jewish agencies like J-Street, whose vision for Israel more readily identifies with that of her enemies. Combined, the forces at work within the Executive branch are helping to create conditions that will allow President Obama to force dangerous concessions upon Israel.
