Obama snubs Boy Scouts of America

It is with tremendous sadness that I send this to my friends,
unfortunately this information goes a long, long way to confirm the worst possible motives
behind the man who fooled so many gullible American people into voting for him.

The story you heard yesterday about President Obama
refusing to sign Eagle Scout Awards is true.

He won't sign life saving awards either.

Every President since 1912 has been the honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America.

President Obama refused that honor.

Did you hear anything about the Boy Scouts 100th Anniversary? Why did the press ignore it? Let's see, they promote honor, integrity, putting others first, love of country and of course they believe in God.

Not much press coverage on this story either, the first president in 100 years to insult his finest citizens, Eagle Scouts. John Beauregard, CEO of the South Texas Council of the Boy Scouts of America joins us just after 7AM. David Haynie has two sons who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Dave Hiser's son is working on his Eagle Scout award now.

This is the E-mail Linda Thacker, sent to Glenn Beck and I forwarded to Glenn's producer Adam.

Dear Mr. Beck:

On March 24, 2009 I had the honor of attending my Grandson, David Osborne's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. I imagine you have attended one of these wonderful ceremonies. I also feel confident that you are very knowledgeable of what it means to have earned the status of Eagle Scout. Our entire family is so very excited and the Court of Honor we were all just beaming as our wonderful young man was honored for his achievements.

After the Court was closed David's leaders pulled him aside and explained to him that they regretted to have to explain to him, as sad as it is, that his certificate was different from others they had presented because his certificate did not have the signature of the
President of the United States .

They explained that Obama does not support the Boy Scouts of America and therefore does not sign the Eagle Certificates.
To date I believe there may be as many as 10,000 of this countries finest young men who do not have the signature of the president
of the country they have taken an oath to respect and serve on their Eagle Certificate.

To my knowledge, Congress chartered BSA in 1916 part of which the President of the United States
is the Honorary President of The Boy Scouts of America and
President Obama is the first sitting president to personally REFUSE to sign these certificates.

I believe if the country were to be educated on national television of what the Boy Scouts of America stands for they would join those of us who already know, and would be as outraged as we are! Also, your good friend Jim Lago was also in attendance at this Eagle Court of Honor.
I had the privilege of speaking with him this morning on his radio talk show here in Corpus Christi and shared with him this same information. He was equally alarmed….. to say the least.

This information should ignite in every parent the urgency to instill the great values held by the Boy Scouts of America
in their young men for the cause of maintaining this great nation. We must stand united.

With appreciation, Linda Thacker, grandmother to eleven of Americas finest future citizens, David, Erikka, Adam, Ryan, Hailey, Tygh, Mana, Gerritt, Maya, Ezra and Lynden Osborne.

So, that's the story thus far, calls have been made, citizens are angry, especially the parents of Eagle Scouts.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if ex-president Bush announced,
he would be willing to sign all Eagle Scout Certificates for as long as President Obama is in office?

We have a very small man in a very big office………

THAT DOES NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF "HONOR"!

Don't you think it's time to get rid of this
Un-American Muslim Traitor
and get a real American back to running our country, like what we grew up with.
Because I have had enough.

If you feel like I do please pass this on.

Yeah I heard about this too. But I don't have any first hand knowledge that proves it is legitimate so, I'd suggest leaving the rumor mill outside of scouting. If someone want's to complain about something like that, complain to the council in question or to national that's what they are there for right?

Mostly I just delete those forwards.

I just have to lol @ this one since somehow being muslim is a bad thing with regards to the BSA, which has a very open policy towards people of faith (regardless of which faith it is) and recognizes three levels of religious emblems from the Islamic faith.
