On May 15, Americans across the nation will honor our men and women serving in federal, state and local law enforcement departments and agencies on National Police Memorial Day. Ceremonies on that day include one at the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, DC and one held at the Police Hall of Fame & Museum in Titusville, Florida (near Orlando). This article reminds Americans of our President's close ties to known cop-killers.
For instance, in Nyack, New York, Ayers' terrorist group the Weather Underground launched an armored-car robbery that left two Nyack, NY police officers -- Officer Waverly Brown and Sergeant Ed O'Grady -- mortally wounded. In addition, the Brinks armored-car driver, Peter Paige was also shot to death by the Weathermen.
Quite simply, Ayers' group of killers left five children without fathers as a result of the brutal and vicious armored car robbery.
Progressives for Obama signatories include Weathermen Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd. Machtinger helped author the the mission statement of the Weathermen that called for revolutionaries within the United States to wage a 'people's war' and attack from within. The government would fall and 'world communism' eventually would be instituted.
In addition to the New York police officers killed, a 1970 pipe bomb in San Francisco set by the group killed another police officer and critically wounded yet another cop. When given the opportunity to serve on boards and appear at press conferences with Ayers, an up-and-coming politician named Barack Obama jumped at the chance.
Recently released records from the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois, Chicago show that Obama and Ayers attended board meetings, retreats and press conferences from 1995 to 2001 as directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
Another major fundraiser for Obama is William Ayers, who also sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama and is a professor at the University of Chicago.
Bill Ayers -- along with his wife Bernadine Dohrn -- was an active member of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group that advocated violence against the United State. Both Ayers and Dohrn went "underground" in 1970 after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in a Greenwich Village (New York City) townhouse. The blast killed three of the group's members including Ayers' girlfriend at the time.
While Ayers and Dohrn were hiding from law enforcement, the Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the US Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building. In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged "government legal misconduct." In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."
Ayers and Dohrn are known to have held at least one fundraiser for Barack Obama in their Chicago home.
During Obama's last year on the board of The Woods Fund (2002), he participated in awarding grants, including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi. In another suspected quid pro quo arrangement similar to those with Ayers and Rezko, Rashid Khalidi also held a fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama.
In the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi was known as a man to be reckoned with. From 1972 through 1983, Khalidi was the director in Beirut of the official Palestinian press agency, FAFA. His wife worked there as well.
According to sources who served in the US Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, when the Khalidi's left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, Rashid was honored with the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at that Ivy League university. Their goodbye party in Chicago included testimonials from Bill Ayers and Barack Obama.

I do not understand why citizens are not concerned about these connections. During the Clinton years a Puerto Rican murderer was pardoned as well.
I do not understand. Thanks for stating the facts in public in reasonable terms.
Jim I heard recently that they are reopening the case against Ayers and his wife regarding the San Francisco police station bombing and ALL of the police force is behind it. I hope they can get these two and put them where they really belong... FAR away from any children in this country.
I was at the police memorial service on may 15, the 28th such service. I have been attending this service for the past 15 years. The keynote speaker is always the President. The talk among the thousands of officers in attendence is this is the first time a President has not been there. So where was he. What could be more important? He was congraulating a baseball team on their world series win. Could have sent the VP? Don't know where he was, maybe out getting a burger. Congrats to the Att. General. He did a good job as the keynote speaker.
Obama MISSED The Memorial Service on the 15th so that he could show the Philies around the white house. The Phillies should be ashamed of themselves. Obama well he has ZERO excuse
I grew up in Nyack and remember the day of the BRinks Robery
Dohrn is a professed communist which is for the fall of America but what is lost is that Dohrn needs to look back at history which has proven communists have killed over 200 million people world wide who did not belive in their teachings. Are we next to die?
