Barack Obama is planning the federal government takeover of YOUR state and local police. That's a fact. President Obama and the radicals at the US Department of Justice (DOJ) under former Attorney General Eric Holder created the most dangerous and destructive anti-police, anti-law environment in the history of law enforcement. Together, Obama and Holder, along with race-baiters like Al Sharpton, have provoked and exploited the racial unrest that occurred in Ferguson, MO, in Baltimore, MD and in cities around the U.S. --using it to cover their scheme to federalize police departments in states and communities all across the United States. And your state could be next! The consequences of state and local law enforcement agencies being controlled from Washington, D.C., are so unimaginable, that we have to stop it from happening! That's why I need you to complete your Law Enforcement Action Network Official Petition, and registered Citizens Survey on Federal Control of Local Police right away! We'll then file your Official Petition with state legislatures across the country, and share the results of the survey with state governors and legislators, law enforcement at all levels, members of Congress, the Obama administration, and the media. The Law Enforcement Action Network (LEAN) is working to stop Obama's efforts to usurp states' rights and impose a national police force accountable only to radical progressive DOJ lawyers, D.C. politicians, and civil rights agitators and profiteers. LEAN needs your support today to expose the Obama administration's false narrative and unlawful federal power grab before local policing is subordinated to federal social policy, town-by-town, city-by-city, state-by-state. After more than 29 years of law enforcement investigative, managerial and executive experience, including serving as Assistant Director of the FBI, I have never witnessed a more dangerous atmosphere for law enforcement officers all across the country. That's why I joined LEAN -- to shield and protect our brave men and women in blue! As an organization, LEAN is leading the charge to promote policies that protect police officer safety and fight policies that favor thugs, criminals and murderers at the expense of the public and the police. LEAN's sister organization, the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, has for more than two decades provided direct assistance to officers unfairly targeted by politically motivated or frivolous criminal indictments and civil lawsuits. So if you support your state and local law enforcement officers then step forward and tell us so today -- by completing your registered Citizens Survey on Federal Control of Local Police. Most Americans don't know that despite the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the local investigations that completely exonerated Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, Eric Holder pledged the DOJ would use its "full authority" over Ferguson, MO, including going so far as dismantling its police department. "We are prepared to use all the power that we have . . . to ensure that the situation changes there," Holder told reporters. Asked if that included dismantling the police department, Holder said, "If that's what's necessary, we're prepared to do that." President Obama ratcheted up Holder's promise in 2014 releasing a report that covers his plan for a progressive takeover of state and local law enforcement far beyond Ferguson. "We have a great opportunity . . . to really transform how we think about community law enforcement relations. We need to seize that opportunity . . . this is something that I'm going to stay very focused on in the months to come," Obama said. Barack Obama has made no secret of his insatiable lust for federal power throughout his Presidency -- going far beyond the boundaries clearly set in the Constitution by our Founding Fathers. Now, using the near limitless power of the federal government, the DOJ's takeover scheme, costing $4.7 million, is already instituting federal control over city police departments in Minneapolis, MN, Fort Worth, TX, Pittsburgh, PA, Stockton, CA, Birmingham, AL, and Gary, IN. Surely Baltimore, MD is next! In fact, the feds are demanding police departments in 10 other cities to begin ceding to their insidious "demands", such as requiring police to have a warrant before stopping a criminal and making a street arrest. If that's not enough of a blatant abuse of power, Obama has ordered the national media to obediently champion his radical agenda, saying "I expect our friends in the media to really focus on what's in this report [Task Force on 21st Century Policing] and pay attention to it." Barack Obama also continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with Al Sharpton, his key adviser on race relations whose race-baiting, cop-hating, inflammatory rhetoric has incited violence and brutal assaults against police nationwide. Sharpton recently called for the Justice Department to "take over policing in this country", saying, "we're going to have to fight states' rights in terms of closing down police cases." Obama and Sharpton have repeatedly promoted anti-law enforcement extremism by making accusatory comments about police officers before investigations were even conducted. Thanks to their promotion of a completely false narrative and the anti-police environment they created, rioters and looters took over the streets in Ferguson, MO and in Baltimore, MD, burning businesses to the ground and destroying millions of dollars of property. Nightly, violent anti-police protests then led to the shooting of two police officers in Ferguson, as well as numerous other shootings of police officers around the country, and put the lives of thousands of brave men and women in blue in jeopardy everywhere. And instead of enforcing the law, President Obama's Department of Justice has been one of the most lawless and least credible government departments in the history of our Republic: The DOJ greatly expanded the role of a secretive "Community Relations Service" group composed of federal government employees, paid with your hard-earned tax dollars that managed and organized racially-charged rallies and protests in Sanford, Florida. The DOJ knowingly sold automatic weapons to members of the most violent drug cartels in Mexico in the "Fast and Furious" scandal, which resulted in the deaths of multiple U.S. law enforcement officers, including US Border Patrol agent, Brian Terry. The DOJ funded a "community organization" with $1.5 million of your tax dollars that was linked with the production of a rap video promoting and glorifying the killing and assassinations of New York City police officers. The DOJ refused to prosecute members of the militant, anti-police Black Panthers group for voter intimidation who were filmed holding weapons, dressed in black military fatigues, just feet outside a polling station in Philadelphia. Perhaps most telling, President Obama nominated radical leftist, Debo P. Adegbile to head the DOJ Civil Rights Division -- a man who worked to free Mumia Abu-Jamal, one of the nation's most infamous cop-killers, from prison! In 1981, during a traffic stop, Abu-Jamal shot Philadelphia policeman, Daniel Faulkner once in the back, then stood over him and shot him four more times at close range, including once in the face. Abu-Jamal later bragged about murdering this brave hero in blue. So there it is . . . a supporter of one of the worst cop-killers in American history, is the man Barack Obama wanted to oversee YOUR state and local police! For those who say Congress would never allow Obama to implement his plan for the federalization of state and local police, think again. As Obama uses executive orders and other tricks and gimmicks to get around the limits our Founding Fathers put in place to curb abusive presidential and federal powers, Congress stands on the sidelines doing nothing. Thus the duty falls to us -- the law-abiding, pro-police, pro-rule of law, citizens of America. We must band together right now and alert Americans at the local and state levels across the country to what is happening in Washington, D.C. before it's too late. Working on your behalf -- and for every pro-police citizen concerned with protecting their freedom and the safety and security of their families, the Law Enforcement Action Network has created this Official Petition and Press Release with 3 major objectives. The Law Enforcement Action Network will: File our Official Petition with state legislatures across the country, urging them to immediately initiate laws preventing their police forces from being taken over by the federal government. Engage every freedom-loving, pro-police American across the country to remind their local and state police and county sheriffs to maintain their oath to the Constitution of the United States and their respective states. Inform and urge elected officials at all levels in your state and across the nation to understand the risks we face of a "nationalized" federally controlled law enforcement. That's what LEAN is doing right now -- and here's what I need you to do in support of our critically important mission: I urge you, the moment you finish reading this letter, to complete your Citizens Survey on Federal Control of Local Police and supplement it with the largest contribution you can -- to enable LEAN to share the results of this survey with state governors and legislators, law enforcement at all levels, members of Congress, the Obama administration, and the media. We will use every means at our disposal -- mail, television, the Internet, email, and the power of social media, to rally all Americans to work with us to stop the federal takeover of state and local police. But these efforts cost money. We're working against the power of the federal government and the liberal national media that is supporting President Obama in this serious threat to our nation.
