SESTAK'S DUAL SCANDALS: Jobs-gate and Jihah-gate!
In 2007, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism funding trial in American history. The Defendants, a group known as the Holy Land Foundation was convicted on all counts. Since then, CAIR has had to fight off very credible accusations that it has Islamic terrorist ties.
In 2003, even liberal Democratic Senator from New York, Chuck Schumer warned of CAIR's ties to terrorism. So why would Pennsylvania's Democratic candidate for Senate, Joe Sestak, deliver a keynote speech at a CAIR event in 2007? He did so despite the pleas of groups within the Jewish community.
Former U.S. Congressman from Colorado and Political commentator from that state, Bob Beauprez (R-CO) has not only been following Sestak's 'Jobs-gate' very closely in recent months. But now he is both intrigued and disturbed at the latest developments surrounding the emerging Sestak 'Jihad-gate,' stemming form a new ad in a large Jewish publication in Pennsylvania, highlighting Sestak's CAIR appearance.
Anti-Israel sentiment for Israel is at the forefrunt of CAIR's agenda. Even if one were prone to dismiss Sestak's appearance as a keynote speaker at a CAIR event, such a proclivity is likely to be reconsidered when looking at Sestak's actions relative to Israel. As the ad points out, the Pennsylvania congressman has demonstrated anti-Israeli bias on more than one occasion.
Last year, Sestak was part of a significant minority in the House, of representatives that would not sign – on at least two occasions – letters intended to reinforce and reaffirm the United States' alliance with Israel. More recently, he actually did sign a letter that chastised Israel's actions in the recent handling of a flotilla that attempted to brak an Israeli blockade of Gaza.
Beauprez is available to discuss how these latest revelations about Sestak's past may impact the election at a time when Americans are becoming increasingly wary of a tendency of the Obama administration to demonstrate a desire to appease the Muslim world.
CAIR is part of what is known as the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic movement that was birthed in 1928. It's stated goal then – a goal that still remains – was to overthrow western civilization for dismantling the Ottoman Empire in 1924. Knowingly or not, by lending his support to CAIR, he is lending his support to a group with goals identical to those of the Muslim Brotherhood.

ABOUT YOUR GUEST, BOB BEAUPREZ:
Bob Beauprez is a former dairy farmer, community banker and member of Congress who has spent his entire life working to leave Colorado a little better than he found it.
He was born and raised on a third generation family farm in Lafayette, Colorado. Bob's grandfather emigrated from Belgium in 1907 and founded a general livestock farm specializing in draft horses. Bob's father took over the farm and developed a nationally renowned Hereford beef cattle breeding herd and transitioned to dairy cattle in the 1950s.
The daily regime of chores, field work and milkings taught Bob a disciplined work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life.
After graduating from the University of Colorado in 1970, he went into partnership with his parents and brother, Mike, in the family farming operation. He managed the dairy herd, eventually marketing their cattle throughout the United States with cattle on every continent except Australia.
During that time, Bob pioneered the use of embryo transplant technology to increase the quality and marketability of the family herd. He also served eight years on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors, including five years as Chairman of the Genetic Advancement Committee. He later also became an industry spokesperson and international judge of Holstein cattle.
The dairy herd was dispersed in 1990 and Bob managed the development of the real estate for his family, eventually becoming part of a 1,500-unit residential golf course community. At the same time, Bob and his wife, Claudia, purchased controlling interest in a small community bank. As President, CEO and Chairman, Bob expanded the bank from one to 13 locations and grew its assets from $4 million to more than $400 million in twelve years.
Bob served as President of the Colorado Independent Bankers Association and was on the Board of the Independent Bankers of America.
While running the bank Bob was politically active as the chairman of the Boulder County Republican Party, and later as Colorado State GOP Chairman. He retired from the bank to run for the new 7th Congressional District in 2002, winning the nation’s closest Congressional election that year by 121 votes. After one term, in 2004, he was reelected by more than 30,000 votes.
While in Congress, Bob served on the Ways and Means, Transportation, Veterans Affairs and Small Business Committees. He was also Vice-Chairman of the Highways and Infrastructure Subcommittee and a member of the Republican Leadership Whip Team.
In 2006, he was the Republican nominee for Governor in Colorado.
Since 2007, Bob has published a monthly e-magazine called A Line of Sight (http://www.alineofsight.com/), a public policy and opinion resource on current political issues. Then, in 2009, he authored his first book: A Return to Values: A Conservative Look at His Party. He is also Vice-Chairman of The John Hancock Committee for the States (http://www.hancockcommittee.org/).
Bob married his high school sweetheart, Claudia, in 1970. They have three sons and one daughter, as well as three grandchildren. Bob and Claudia have returned to their agricultural roots recently by purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Mountains near the Wyoming border. They are developing a buffalo breeding herd in partnership with their son Jim. Bob continues to stay politically active, guest hosting on various radio talk shows, doing numerous media interviews nationally, and maintains a busy public speaking schedule.
