Secretary Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
Dear Secretary Napolitano:
After much reflection I have decided to write this letter both as a document of inquiry and protest. An officer of the Secret Service came to my office where I counsel people about the most intimate and troubled details of their lives, and asked me to explain statements made concerning Barack Obama. The officer knew, or should have known, with a minimum of due diligence, that those statements could not possibly be construed in any way as a threat to the physical safety of Obama. Time after time in my statements I have made clear that any action taken against Obama should be done within the bounds of legal process. Yet this agent came into this church, this sacred soil where God dwells, with seven men including members of the New York Police Department, to ask me to explain statements. I made clear that any action taken against Obama should be done within the bounds of legal process. It suggests to me that either your agency is incompetent or that you came with an insidious intent.
Besides the fact that I have openly declared that any action against Obama should be lawful and constitutionally prescribed, you also know that I have done no act that could remotely constitute a crime or justify your pollution of this holy space with your presence. The freedom of speech is, or at least was sacrosanct in this nation. The fact that I made statements, however strong and distasteful to you, does not warrant your agent coming to my office with six other men in tow to ask me my meaning. While your agent “needed” three men by his side to ask me a question in my office there were three other men outside of this house taking pictures. Your time would have been better served guarding the White House from uninvited guests.
Your agent came here because he wanted to send me a message. Your agent wanted me to know that I am being watched. If it were otherwise he would have come and arrested me. You wanted in essence, to chill speech. It is therefore you and not I who pose the danger to all that is lawful.
Now your actions create a presumption, but it is rebuttable, so I give you the opportunity to explain yourself. What specifically did I say that causes you concern and why? Why did he need the New York City Police Department to follow him? Why were men taking pictures of this house of worship? What clippings of my sermons and statements other than the one in question have been reviewed? What specific actions as opposed to speech, have I taken that are illegal? And finally, have you read the Supreme Court cases on inflammatory speech where even the overthrow of the government by violence is constitutionally protected? I deserve answers. Furthermore, there is an old legal doctrine that silence in the face of an accusation which one ought to answer constitutes consent or admission. If you choose not to answer this letter, you have already answered.
In His Royal Service,
The Honorable James Manning

“Most of the domestic groups that we have to pay attention to here are white supremacist groups. They’re anti-government and in most cases anti-abortion.
They are usually survivalist type in nature, identity orientated. Those groups are groups that claim to be extremely anti-government and Christian identity oriented. – Erroll Southers” – 2008

You’re in good company Dr Manning. (except for the ultra Soviet Style censor fanatic you have posting on this site)
So leave Pot. No one is making you stay in here.
We are here because we seek the truth about a man that bamboozled his way into our lives. He is half American and half Kenyan with an a born allegiance to a foreign government ant that makes him unconstitutionally serving to represent us.
We want him exposed for the deceit and lies and treason that he truly represents.
If Janet offers you and Mark a beer for the stupidly behavior of Obama. Will you drink it?
I’m confused of why we can’t comment on Black people ain’t got no honor post??
Welcome back YALL!! now can we get back to the business of praying for our Country again??
Thank God for Brotha Manning!!
Nice,
We should ALL take such actions when our freedoms have been threatened.
There is power in numbers. I hope we can build strong support networks so no single person ever feels powerless against tyranny.
P.S. I am sick of J. Putrello (spelling?) and her posts always being closed for comments. Why is this allowed? If you post something, don’t you wish to have feedback in order to know if the people who frequent this site think your posts are worthwhile? It just seems silly and childish to me to post something and then be that self-conscious to read how people feel about them. OPEN THE COMMENTS! TRANSPARENCY! NO CENSORSHIP! Dr. Manning I am a long time supporter and this closed comments crap needs to be addressed. How can we proceed and discuss these videos and articles if we have no outlet or forum to fellowship and relay thoughts and ideas. Seems a little dictatorial to me. Thank you and GOD Bless…..PEACE OUT!
“kalashnikov” I think it had something to do with these Infidels that caused some maddness in here but I’m sure our fair Brotha Manning will address that issue PEACE!!
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Well said…. simple and to the point with an almost surgical use of vocabulary:) GET EM’ Manning!
