Message — Continuation of the National Emergency with respect to the Actions of the Government of Syria

TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency, unless, within 90 days prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating that the national emergency with respect to the actions of the Government of Syria declared in Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004 — as modified in scope and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13399 of April 25, 2006, Executive Order 13460 of February 13, 2008, Executive Order 13572 of April 29, 2011, Executive Order 13573 of May 18, 2011, Executive Order 13582 of August 17, 2011, Executive Order 13606 of April 22, 2012, and Executive Order 13608 of May 1, 2012 — is to continue in effect beyond May 11, 2013.
While the Syrian regime has reduced the number of foreign fighters bound for Iraq, the regime's brutal war on the Syrian people, who have been calling for freedom and a representative government, endangers not only the Syrian people themselves, but could yield greater instability throughout the region. The Syrian regime's actions and policies, including pursuing chemical and biological weapons, supporting terrorist organizations, and obstructing the Lebanese government's ability to function effectively, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to continue in effect the national emergency declared with respect to this threat and to maintain in force the sanctions to address this national emergency.
In addition, the United States condemns the Asad regime's use of brutal violence and human rights abuses and calls on the Asad regime to stop its violent war and step aside to allow a political transition in Syria that will forge a credible path to a future of greater freedom, democracy, opportunity, and justice.
The United States will consider changes in the composition, policies, and actions of the Government of Syria in determining whether to continue or terminate this national emergency in the future.

the biggest national emergency that has ever been perpetrated on the american people is that of the stealing of the office of potus… GOD WILL HAVE HIS WAY whether you,i, or anyone in existance believes it… absurdity ad nausem
we have the ‘joker’ for potus… but i don’t see anyone on our side laughing…however, let me remind you ……. the joke is on them… they really believe that they’re gonna pull this thing off…they’ll soon find out that the one that they’ve been conceding to is going throw them all under the bus… except ‘the bus’ in this case is a casket…
why would anyone trust a liar??????? what’s the best way to make sure that no one ever finds out about your lies…. get rid of those who have that info.
if those poor blood-suckers would just do the math…they could easily see that this isn’t set up to work out for their benefit….
are you telling me that all these people actually believe that they are indeed ‘inexpendable’???
NOTICE: to every evil politician in office today…
you had better do one of two things(for your own good and for the good of your loved ones):
a) run fast and hide very very very good(personally, i don’t believe that there’s anywhere that ‘they’ can’t find you)
or
b) REPENT! REPENT!! REPENT!!! AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR
… i don’t have to tell you what i would do… however, i would that all would do the latter…for those that do, i personally want to thank you for standing up and making a difference when it counts the most…when innocent people are counting on you to do what is RIGHT!!! For the rest of you, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY!!!AMEN!
