Isn’t it amazing how Obama can stir up a stink at home, then climb on Air Force One and take a 71 car entourage with him and head off to Asia or anywhere away from his responsibilities in America? Not only does he remove himself, but he embarrasses himself and America in the process and returns to America without accomplishing one blessed thing. What a waste of time, money, and jet fuel! But then on the other hand Obama is probably not needed in Washington since the Chicago Machine is the one or ones calling the shots in this administration. Obama is just the pawn who makes their speeches and acts as a figurehead or bobblehead. That is why he has plenty of time to travel the world on our dime.
He along with his buddies in Congress (including Pelosi and Reid) wants to foist this gargantuan healthcare plan on the unsuspecting American people without our input and not only that, they want to ban us from complaining about it. According to Obama, detractors from his plans, policies and ideas should just shut-up, sit down and let them have their way! Well, I don’t shut-up very well, and I hope you don’t either. Do you think that they can bring in this healthcare bill within the budget they are proposing? I personally think it is nearly impossible for this Congress to do anything within budget. I’m a bettin’ that it will cost at least three times what they are predicting. What do you think? I think they are using a lot of creative accounting practices to get the figures to come out the way they want them to.
I was so angry last night – I was watching Fox News, Dick Durbin was grandstanding and complaining on the Senate floor about the TARP bill which was only three pages and passed during the Bush Administration and of course he emphasised what a disaster it was when compared to the healthcare bill which is 2000 plus pages and supposedly so much better because it is an Obama administration bill, but the nincompoop along with 73 other moronic members of the Senate voted Yea on the so called disastrous TARP bill. I was not in favor of the TARP bill and I'm definitely not in favor of the Healthcare Reform bill. Here again the senior citizens are the ones who are supposed to be good sports and just die off so they do not have to treat our medical problems in order that they can provide healthcare for people who do not work, have never worked and do not intend to start working or for people who come across the border illegally and want us to take care of them.
Eric Holder wants to bring five terrorists to New York to put them on trial for the Twin Towers bombings. The majority of the American people prefer that they keep these terrorists in Guantanamo Bay instead of bringing them back into the States among the most populated area in America. Where is the safety in doing that? I encourage Eric Holder to change his mind and let these morons be tried in a Military Tribunal for the safety of America, and because it is the right thing to do.
How do you like all of the misrepresentation of the jobs created and saved by the Obama Administration? It is just another embarrassment that he tries to sweep under the carpet. Every week another 500,000 plus people are losing their jobs and they claim to be creating or saving jobs. What a joke that is. If we can not trust this administration to tell us the truth about the jobs situation, how can we trust them with anything else.
Obama did not want to have an investigation in the Ft. Hood massacre/terrorist attack. He doesn’t want to admit that we can have a terrorist attack while he is in office, and he’s such a weak link in the world arena that he invites the very attacks that he should be prepared to defend America against.
Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth. He will say one thing to the American people, turn around, go overseas and say something else. In Asia he was defending our freedoms, in America, he is telling us to sit down, shut-up and let him and his henchmen do whatever suits them. That kind of sounds like a contradiction to me!
Obama may be personally popular in some arenas, but by the time his term in office is over, he will have destroyed America as we know it, and his job favorability will be in the toilet if it keeps falling at the same pace it is on now. He is the biggest flop this country could have ever voted in (if they did). It would not surprise me if there was a nationwide recount that he did not win at all, but that the ballot boxes were stuffed just the same as they were in Afghanistan.
The Obama administration wants to move the GITMO detainees to prisons in the United States. We in America are a lot safer with the detainees incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay not in the United States. They want their trials in Federal Court in America instead of a Military Tribunal. Military Tribunals have always been the trial of choice for these types of offenses.
The Cap and Trade disaster is going to cost all of us a bundle monthly for our gas, electricity, products that are manufactured in America, etc. Talk about a job killer – that will be it.
Then there is the problem of this administration not wanting to drill for the natural resources that we are so blessed with in America. That would produce jobs, lower the cost of our energy bills and make sense. Since the Obama administration does nothing that makes sense, I guess we can kiss that idea goodbye until we get somebody like Sarah Palin in office with the common sense that this administration is so blatantly lacking.
The Obama administration wants to control the amount of money we earn in our jobs. They want to control what type of car you drive. They want more controls on Wall Street. They want, they want! That seems to be the crux of the problem with this administration. They just spend and spend and spend without any thought as to where that money is coming from to pay for this spending spree. We need to revoke their credit cards, lines of credit, etc. We can not afford to pay for all of this out of control outflow of money especially when we have an unemployment rate of at least 10.2% plus all of the people who can not find a job and have just given up looking. It takes working people paying taxes to fund the government.
Everything they have done since taking office has been against the beliefs of our Founding Fathers and the Constitution of the United States. Obama and the rest of the degenerates vowed to UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. It baffles me that they can so easily break those vows.

HEALTHCARE REFORM
Aren’t you just overjoyed that the House of Representatives has passed a healthcare reform bill that forces you to take insurance that the Congress refuses to be covered by? If it is good enough for us, it should be good enough for them. Doesn’t that just make you feel warm and fuzzy all over or does it send cold chills of fright up your spine? Personally, it sends cold chills of fright up my spine. I notice that Pelosi was so interested in winning that she rushed swearing in the representative who was prematurely announced as the winner of NY23. What happens if it is proven that he did not win? I think they should have to revote on that bill and anything else that Owens has been involved in since sworn in. Now this debacle has to pass the hurdle in the Senate. Unfortunately, in my part of the country, I have two senators who are supposed to represent their constituents, but don’t. They cater to these whiny, non-productive, never held a job dirt bags who think that the government owes them a living, but they are allowed to vote. As you can guess, I live in a part of the country where we have a lot of illegal immigrants plus a huge welfare base and these people whine and cry and want the government to continue to take care of them. Some of them have been on welfare for several generations and have no desire to change. They have their babies and we, the working American people, pay for from birth through adulthood and more often than not through death. We feed them, we clothe them, we try to educate them, we pay for their medical care and they think they deserve it. They just keep taking and the bleeding heart liberals just keep right on giving more and more of our hard earned money. Whatever happened to working for what you get? There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that grants people the right to live off of the government. In fact, THE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT, THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE! I don’t know when this is going to be addressed by our government officials, but it should be soon.
AMERICA, WE ARE IN TROUBLE! The Obama administration has spent so much money that every man, woman, and child in this country actually owes $25,000.00 (and that is today’s total) to pay off our debt, and it is only going to get worse. However, according to Obama, he inherited this problem and all the other problems plaguing his administration from Bush. Gosh, Bush had a Democratic congress to contend with so do you really think it is Bush’s problem? I don’t know why he and his administration can’t step up to the plate and admit that they have made a lot of mistakes and believe me, they have made bunch of lulus! Unfortunately, Obama and his administration have done NOTHING, NADA that I agree with since he took office. I think he is an educated idiot with a desire for power that he can’t handle. Everything the Obama economic team has done has been in direct contradiction to the correct course of action to get us out of this financial mess. YOU CAN NOT SPEND YOUR WAY OUT OF DEBT, NOR CAN YOU BORROW YOUR WAY OUT OF A RECESSION! Obama does not listen to these logical pearls of wisdom, but continues to spend spend spend, and you think the healthcare system is in bad shape now, wait until you see what a disaster Obamacare or Pelosicare or Reidcare will turn out to be. Look at the millions of dollars that he wastes every time he climbs on Air Force One. That’s not like a trip to the grocery store. No other president has traveled at our expense as much as Obama. We, the American people, have to tighten our belts in order to put food on the table, keep a roof over our heads, and pay our bills – the least he could do is set a good example and tighten America’s belt to bring down the debt that he has created. Look at all of the pork barrel spending or ear marks in the bills just to appease members of Congress. None of this creates jobs or reduces the American debt. I for one am very disgruntled when I hear about the ridiculous things that the American government spends money on like John Murtha’s airport, or studying some stupid mouse in California or financing organizations such as ACORN. You know what we really need in the White House is a woman who has raised about 10 kids on a budget to turn this financial disaster around. She would understand that when someone comes around with their hand out, that you can not afford to give them everything they want, and you have to say NO to the childish wants of greedy congress people. Obviously Obama, the elitist, does not understand the concept of not spending more than you make.
COME ON AMERICA! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! Call, write, email your congressman daily if necessary. I do and eventually I hope it soaks in or I will work to vote them out. I would like to see this elitist bunch of morons out on their butts in the coming elections anyway. If we band together, we can make it happen.

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
Can you keep up with the new “rules” concerning POLITICAL CORRECTNESS?
We are now headed into the Christmas Season which according to the retailers started before Halloween. We are not supposed to reference CHRISTMAS at all instead according to the POLITICALLY CORRECT, we are supposed to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We are not supposed to call people born in Mexico, MEXICANS, we are supposed to call them HISPANICS or LATINOS Y LATINAS, however, it is fine for them to call Caucasians, GRINGOS or any other derogatory name they can come up with. TERRORISM is to be referred to as MAN MADE DISASTER! We have an Islamic American Psychiatrist who is more Islamic than he is American as it turns out. People were having their questions concerning whether he might be dangerous, but everyone was afraid to say anything because of Political Correctness. Now we have 13 murdered loyal Americans and all they can do is waffle on whether it was a terrorist attack or just a heinous crime. We are not to reference GOD and there is nothing referring to GOD allowed in our Court Houses – they have removed THE TEN COMMANDMENTS even though they are exemplary words to live by. People of African descent have gone from being called NEGROS, COLORED and now BLACK or AFRICAN AMERICAN. I personally do not like any term that places ethnic group names before American. If we are born in America or are naturalized American Citizens, we are all American and we should all be treated as Americans. I also resent being asked on surveys if I am African American or of Hispanic descent. I AM OF AMERICAN DESCENT. If we would treat all Americans as Americans and treat them regardless of ethnicity with the respect they deserve or not deserve (whatever the case), we would not have the bitter race relations that we have now. The first thing Obama did when his friend, the Harvard professor, was arrested was to blame the White cop as stupid. Those are the types of things that keep the race card stirred up. I did not vote for Obama, I do not like Obama, but it has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It has to do with the fact that he is a greedy moron who knows nothing about what he is doing. His short time in the Illinois senate and the U.S. senate did not give him any training whatsoever for the job he has undertaken. He is what I call a professional BSer. You can not vote PRESENT most of the time and know what you are doing or be able to make a decision. He is fast going down as the worst President in the History of America even surpassing Jimmy Carter and Richared Nixon and I really thought that would take some doing, but Obama is sliding down that slippery slope at record speeds. Obama’s only claim to fame, in my estimation, is his supposed ability to BS the world, but they are quickly learning that he has nothing to back up the BS. Personally I turn the television off when he speaks mainly because I think I see him for what he is – an incompetent fraud. He uses the same speeches time after time as if it is the first time he has ever uttered those infamous words, he tries to destroy anyone who disagrees with him, and he forgets that he works for US! Yes he works for us, we do not work for him – but he does not listen to us and apparently it is not politically correct to let him know we disapprove of his actions and attitude.
COME ON FOLKS, WE NEED SAFETY OVER POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!

HEALTHCARE DEBACLE
I must voice my opinion regarding the healthcare plan passed in the House of Representatives. I can not believe how absolutely absurd parts of this plan are proving to be.
One item that strikes me as so stupid that it could have only been thought up by Nancy Pelosi is the one about purchasing a $15,000.00 insurance policy and if you do not purchase it, the government will fine you, and if you do not pay for the insurance and the fine, they will incarcerate (put you in jail) you for up to 5 years. Then guess who will pay for your medical care! Of course, the American people will pay for it as we do all prisoners.
A lot of working folks barely take home $15,000.00 a year – how do they pay for housing, food, utilities, vehicle or transportation to and from their jobs, vehicle insurance, medical co-pays, medication along with any incidentals which come up and need to be paid for.
The fact that they are proposing to incarcerate people for not purchasing a policy. This strikes me as one of the most stupid things that has ever come out of the Congress. It seems to me that this is definitely a violation of the Constitution since there is nothing in the Constitution about forcing people to buy anything. States are going broke one right after another, they are releasing violent criminals because they can not afford to keep them in the prisons, but they are proposing jailing non violent people because they will not or can not purchase this crappy health care plan. I’m beginning to think that the people who need to be incarcerated are the left-wing nuts in the Congress. Pelosi and Company are so impressed by their power that they violate the Constitution at will and they think WE THE PEOPLE are just suppose to sit back and take it!
The Nancy Pelosis of America do not mind paying for medical care for those poor unfortunates that cross the borders illegally (which makes them a criminal the minute they cross the border), but when it comes to paying for medical care for an American citizen who is very ill and unable to work, they balk! Unfortunately, this American citizen has an Anglo name, had been a truck driver, and then became ill. This is probably just one person out of many who are having the same type of problem.
Illegal immigrants come to America, some are criminals (the border states prisons are full of illegal immigrants), some come to America to have their babies so the babies will be American citizens, some are drug dealers, some work and send the bulk of their pay back to Mexico, some get sick, shot or need medical attention and come to America illegally and go to our hospitals – we the American people pay for the medical attention because we never turn anyone away (except Anglos with medical problems).
I have tried to read this plan, but it is written in legalese with reference to this bill and that bill throughout and unless you have all of reference material in front of you, it makes it impossible to understand, and with more than 2000 pages, the Congress does not want us to understand it. We would be really up in arms if we knew everything that was in it. I am up in arms because I don’t know what is in it.
My representative turned out to be a Pelosi Lap Dog Democrat rather than the Blue Dog Democrat that he proclaimed to be.
The Obama Administration keeps telling us that they will pay for a lot of the Medicare and Medicaid charges by eliminating the fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid billings. Medicare and Medicaid fraud has been a problem for a long long time so why is it that they have to have a written bill to attack the problem. This is a problem that should be investigated and stopped and the perpetrators of this fraud when proven guilty should have all of their assets seized and those assets should become the property of the Medicare and Medicaid programs. When the Government solves this problem, then we can talk about other changes to health insurance.
I just cannot understand why the Government thinks that the best way to solve the problems in the insurance industry is to totally rewrite the entire system. There are simple things that can be done initially that would correct some of the problems such as:
TORT REFORM
INVESTIGATING AND ELIMINATING FRAUD IN MEDICARE AND MEDICAID
ALLOWING HEALTH INSURANCE TO BE SOLD ACROSS STATE LINES
ELIMINATING PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS FROM INSURANCE POLICIES
SPEAK WITH DOCTORS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES TO SEE WHAT OTHER ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED
Slow down – the old adage “HASTE MAKES WASTE” is true and it certainly shows in the way the Government does things. There is rampant waste and corruption (in my opinion) in everything the Government touches. We have all seen the lies coming from this administration from Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and numerous other members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. We have also witnessed the Rock Star status that Obama thinks he is entitled to. Then Barbara Boxer thinks she is not a ma’am – she’s a Senator and wishes to be addressed as such. Well, LA TI DA! Personally, I would like to see her addressed as Ex-Senator! I would like to see most of the current senators and representatives replaced in the coming elections. I also think there are several members of the Congress who should actually be charged with criminal activity and when proven guilty should be incarcerated. At the very least they have taken undo advantage of the American people because of their congressional status. The elitist attitude of these morons needs to be stopped. THEY WORK FOR US not the other way around. Every American citizen is their boss and I hope that we do not forget that on Election Day 2010. We need to replace everyone who is up for re-election then and bring a balance of power back into power.
I’m not saying that we should have all Democrats or all Republicans or all Independents in office. Actually, we should have a balance of power in order to prevent all of this stupidity in Congress with run-away partisan voting without discussion, and the locking out of one party or the other as we have witnessed during this healthcare debacle.
I personally will be voting against Pelosi’s LAP DOG DEMOCRAT in my district along with the moronic appointee who will be up for election also, and I will be working to see that neither gets re-instated.
It baffles me to understand why some of these egotistical morons keep getting elected. They must either have a line of BS at home or their constituents do not pay attention to what they are doing while they are in office.
COME ON FOLKS, WE ARE LOSING OUR FREEDOMS BY ALLOWING THESE PEOPLE (that people part is questionable) TO STAY IN OFFICE. PRAY FOR GUIDANCE AND VOTE THEM OUT. Our forefathers are probably turning over in the graves at the injustice they are witnessing to the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES, THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS that they so carefully constructed.

THANK YOU VETERANS
On this Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2009, I wish to add my thank you and my admiration to all who have served, who are serving, and who will serve in the future to keep our Nation safe and free. You put yourselves in harms way on a daily basis while I sit here in my nice safe secure home at my computer admittedly taking your service for granted. I promise to do better in the future. You have my admiration and respect for your dedication. I must also thank your families for their sacrifices in sharing you with the rest of America. The bravery displayed by you and your families is truly appreciated. I promise I will always remember to thank all military members in person for their service and sacrifices, and not just on Veteran’s Day.
"THE COST OF FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!" as I was reminded by a friend.
THANK YOU EACH AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE MILITARY AND YOUR LOVING FAMILIES. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS WILL FOLLOW EVERY MEMBER OF THE MILITARY ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

TWAS THE MONTH BEFORE CHRISTMAS
I RECEIVED THIS AS AN EMAIL FROM MY HUSBAND'S COUSIN AND THOUGHT IT QUITE APPROPRIATE TO WHAT WE ARE LETTING OUR LEGISLATORS GET AWAY WITH. LET'S BRING CHRISTMAS BACK AND FOOEY ON POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
*Twas the month before Christmas*

AARP
Is AARP really looking out for you? I don’t think so! They have made a decision to support the Healthcare Plan, but they did not ask the members for their opinion. Then it comes out that the Director of AARP had given a lot of money to the OBAMA campaign. Granted the Director has the freedom to decide who he supports, but that does not give him or the organization the right to use the membership of AARP to show support for OBAMA or anyone else without the memberships okay. If this is the way they look after their membership, I prefer to be on my own. They are only after the dollars that AARP members bring in to them through memberships, healthcare, auto insurance, credit cards, etc.
I cancelled my membership in AARP along with my auto insurance through them and my AARP credit card as I want nothing in my possession that gives any indication that I might be in support of their decisions. I cancelled my memberships earlier when they were waffling about whether they were supporting the healthcare plan or not. I never did have any of their healthcare plans as I am not a fan of United Health Care nor are my doctors. When I started looking for senior healthcare, I talked with my doctors to see which healthcare plans treated them the best and gave them fewer headaches in treating their patients. Unfortunately since health insurance is not available across state lines and also varies from county to county, it is difficult to recommend any companies for other people.
The best way to show you are unhappy with this organization is to cancel your membership and any of the organizations that are a part of AARP. If and when you decide to cancel your membership, be sure to ask for a refund of your dues!
Since the new enrollment year for health insurance is coming up, you can start now researching new healthcare plans which will take effect January 1, 2010. Medicare sends each member a book called “MEDICARE AND YOU” which lists all available insurance plans in your area plus there will be numerous meetings held by insurance carriers to inform people about the benefits they offer.
Good luck and remember, we still live in America and still have the freedom to decide for ourselves. DO NOT LET THIS ADMINISTRATION TAKE THAT FREEDOM FROM US.
VOTE AND SUPPORT THE FREEDOMS GIVEN TO US BY GOD AND OUR FOREFATHERS!

WE THE PEOPLE
Well, the SLEEZEBALLS did it again! It does not matter to the Democrats that the majority of the citizens have voiced their opinion and said a resounding “NO” to the healthcare plan. It has become apparent to me that the majority of the democrats in the House of Representatives are nothing but a bunch of Pelosi Lap Dog Democrats. Pelosi promised to have the Healthcare Reform bill online for 72 hours before the vote – was it there? No! Again Pelosi has lied to everyone! “LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!” Pelosi and Obama must have the same lack of truth genes in their DNA as they seem to promise things that they do not follow up with. Obama promised to line item veto all of the Pork in the bills – that was a lie also.
Not only have they lied to us, they do not listen to us, to the doctors, or to anyone else. I for one have cancelled my membership with AARP and I urge everyone else to do the same. I will not allow them to use me as a part of their membership who wants this travesty in our lives. I do not want them to think that I will allow them to make these kinds of decisions for me. They do not even have the integrity to ask their membership what they think. They just make the decision to kiss up to Obama. When you think of the AMA, please remember that less than 29% of the doctors in the United States are members of this organization, and 45% of all of the doctors say they will quit being doctors if this moronic bill is allowed to pass, and 65% of the doctors say they are unhappy with this bill.
If you notice that every time Pelosi does something, it is in the dark of night, behind closed doors, and in a sneaky fashion. She reminds me of a snake slithering around to do her dirty work. There is no way on earth that she has the best interest of the American people on her agenda. She is a power hungry dictator who is trying to force America into a Socialist government. If you like your freedoms, it is time to start campaigning to replace these left wing nuts with some conservative, economically conscience people who will defend the Constitution of the United States, bring down the debt, lower taxes, and do what is best for the people.
It seems like there is always a time when we have to fight to keep the freedoms that are outlined in the Constitution of the United States and it seems like that time may be coming again in the all too near future. I have seen more political dissention since the 2008 election than I have ever witnessed in my 66 years of life. I see more racial division, more economic strife, more indecision, less patriotism, more blatant animosity towards the constituents and less representation by the politicians, and more out and out lying in this administration. Every decision that is made is the total opposite of what should be made. There is no common sense to be found by the majority of this administration.
Come on Folks – it is time for us to show our backbone and quit letting Pelosi and Company push us around. Make sure you are registered to vote, join in make calls, write letters, emails, go to town hall meetings, tea parties, talk to friends, neighbors and spread the word. It is up to us to take our country back and revel in our freedoms! We deserve better than what we have now!
WE THE PEOPLE and that’s the way it should be!

EMAIL I RECEIVED AND AGREE WITH
I have no Idea who wrote this, but I certainly agree with the premise!
"I am a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. Instead, we are burdened with Congressional Dukes and Duchesses who think they know better than the citizens they are supposed to represent.
There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now.
You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would feel so horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut-job am I? Well, these briefly are the views and issues for which I seek representation:
One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This is not to be confused with legal immigration....
Two, the STIMULUS bill. I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you No, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.
Three: Czars. I want the circumvention of our constitutional checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution, and honor it.
Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There are many conflicting opinions and it is too soon for this radical legislation. Quit throwing our nation into politically-correct quicksand.
Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision that will burden me, my children, and grandchildren. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night without even reading it. Slow down! Fix only what is broken -- we have the best health care system in the world -- and test any new program in one or two states first.
Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. More is not better! Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real [Constitutional] obligations. Why don't you start there..
Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes -- how did they pull that one off? Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with any of our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.
Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs -- and that is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person! Why do you want me to hate my employers? And what do you have against shareholders making a profit?
Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.
Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Every company must sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. (Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid?) We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.
Eleven, transparency and accountability... How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please stop trying to manipulate and appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends.. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.
Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.
Take a breath. Listen to the people. Slow down and get some input from nonpoliticians and experts on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed-reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent.. I work. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.
I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not.
It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is needless urgency and recklessness in all of your recent spending of our tax dollars.
From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on bringing our concerns to Washington . Our president often knows all the right buzzwords like unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.
We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented.. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone...... and we are now looking at you.
You have awakened us, the patriotic freedom spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office.
We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish... We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution..
Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care... Political parties are meaningless to us Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution, and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them.. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you.
If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming."

AMERICAN FREEDOMS
As I awoke this morning about 4:30 am MST, I took my dog out so she could do all of the things dogs do first thing in the morning and I was thinking about how isolated I am from all of the troubles that are plaguing our Nation. I live in a rural area where I am unable to see my neighbor’s homes from the front of my house. I love listening to the breezes coming through the cedars, the lowing of the cattle in the pastures, the roosters crowing, the horses nickering, the coyotes singing, the stars so vivid in the sky that you can see millions more than if you are in an area with street lights, house lights, etc. along with the various shapes of the moon, the clouds, the beautiful sunrises and the peace of the early mornings. I’m sure this is what GOD has wanted for his people through out our lives.
Unfortunately reality strikes and we are back to a congress that does not respect the wishes of the American people. It just baffles me to watch them take a perfectly simple solution to a problem and make it so difficult. Take the healthcare reform plan that is being called Pelosicare, part of the bill says a family will have to pay $15,000.00 for the plan or go to jail for 5 years. Now that really makes sense, doesn’t it? They are releasing prisoners early because the states are in financial trouble and a lot of those prisoners are murderers, sexual perverts, and other various violent predators, but someone who does not buy insurance is not a violent predator, but just because they either cannot afford to buy insurance or they exercise their freedom not to buy insurance, they are to be thrown in prison. The irony of this is that the government would then have to provide health care for the prisoner. Stupid stupid stupid!
Every United States Citizen is an employer. We are the bosses of the President, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. They forget that fact and they think that we as Americans are too stupid to know what is good for us. We need to remind them that we know what is best for us, and they are just there to do the voting.
Then we have the CAP AND TRADE which is going to increase the cost of our utility bills by several hundred or several thousand dollars a year. Guess what that is going to do when people apply for LEAP (Low income energy assistance program) – keeping in mind that the government pays for the heating and lights for these people. When the United States is the only country trying to reduce CO2 in the air, again it will not work. All of our manufacturing jobs will be outsourced to foreign countries because American manufacturing companies will not be able to pay the added cost of utilities and the foreign countries won’t care how they pollute the air. Think of all of the jobs we will lose if the CAP AND TRADE bill passes. As if unemployment isn't high enough at 10.2%. Believe me, it will climb even higher if CAP AND TRADE passes as it probably will with the HEALTHCARE REFORM Plan.
The government is trying to get us to quit eating meat also. Well, I for one like meat. I also want to keep all of the animals on our planet - I really like seeing all of the cattle and horses in the pastures close to my home. They give me a sense of peace and I know that there is a GOD because someone had to create these magnificient animals along with the beautiful mountains that I see from my home.
The government is trying to control all aspects of our lives – from what we eat, drink, drive, pay for our work, insurance we purchase, etc. They screw things up and we, the American people, pay for it not only monetarily, but by the laws they pass and we just sit back and let them keep right on taking over our lives. They are violating the Constitution of the United States, and we do nothing to stop them. We need to start challenging their decisions and then starting in November, 2010 voting them out of office, and at the first sign of them not doing as we wish, we need to vote them out of office. We are the ones in charge of term limits, and I guarantee, we need to exercise those rights. There are many many members of the House of Representatives and the Senate who have been in office WAY TOO LONG. Let’s start with people like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Steny Hoyer, Charles Rangel, Alan Grayson, Maxine Waters, Barbara Boxer, and any of the others in office who wish to destroy the American freedoms to which we are entitled.
I for one am not in favor of become a Socialist nation, are you?

OUR FREEDOMS
As I sit here and watch Washington D.C. spend us into oblivion while they try to take away our freedoms, as they try to spread the wealth to people who have not earned it, and attempt to take from the rich to give to the poor. People that is not going to happen, the rich will fight that tooth and toenail, and I can’t blame them. If I were rich, I would too. You know I came into this world with nothing more than my mother and father, and when I leave this world, I will leave it with nothing but the love of my remaining family to meet the ones who have gone before me. I will not need any worldly riches to take with me. I count myself fortunate even though it is not in monetary or material riches. I am married to a man who loves me, I have a son who even though he is an adult is the light of my life, I have six step-children all grown, between our seven children, they have produced 17 grandchildren who have continued the trend and produced 20 great grandchildren. I have a roof over my head, food enough on the table, money enough to pay my bills, and peace of mind - so what more does a body need?
Well, we need the freedom to get an education that allows us to earn our way in this life – yes I said earn our way in this life and not have to rely on someone else to earn our way for us. If we have a baby, that baby is the responsibility of its parents not the responsibility of the taxpaying Americans.
We need the freedom to worship and honor GOD in the church, synagogue, mosque or in the manner of our choice. We need the freedom to display our love of GOD and Country in a manner which befits our love, respect, and honor of these entities.
We need the freedom to defend our homes, our families, and our country which is where the 2nd Amendment comes in. Guns do not kill – if you lay it on the table and just look at it, it does nothing – it does not go off unless it is in the hands of someone who pulls the trigger. People who pull the trigger of a gun indiscriminately are murderers, but if you take the guns away from the law abiding citizens, the only ones who will have guns will be the criminals and murderers.
We need the freedom to be able to speak our minds and tell our politicians how we feel. I do not think we have the right to lie about our politicians, or they about their constituents, their opponents, their vows or anyone else on the planet. Unfortunately too many of the people responsible for the affairs of our Nation take creative license with the truth and what is best for America. Unfortunately some of our politicians do not believe that we should have the right to voice those opinions and they become down right belligerent when anyone disagrees with them. They seem to forget that they work for us!
The Constitution of the United States outlines all of the freedoms that Americans should have, but Americans we need to be careful – the Congress is always trying to take our freedoms away from us. Anything not outlined in the Constitution is to be addressed by the States. Somehow our Congress seems to forget that.
Americans, Please do not let your congress men and women take your freedoms away. Contact them by phone, email, snail mail, in person at their local offices or any other manner in which you can get your point across. Do not be shy, and please do not expect someone else to take on all of the responsibility of stopping the carnage. Remember it is your freedoms as well as mine that are being affected.
