TERM LIMITS DECREASE CORRUPTION

Politicians are in perpetual "campaign mode" 24/7!  Look at our President as someone who cannot make the transition from candidate to leader, who is neither decisive nor a lead.  His every move is factored by polling, as to how his "base" and "independents" will react to his decision...if he ever makes one.  Thank God we have term limits on Presidents...and NEVER ALLOW THAT TO CHANGE!

Corruption is like water, it can drip its way into the smallest cracks.  Even when the "best intentioned" politicians go to "The Hill", time and power have a way of  breaking down the barrier, to allow corruption in.  Now, of course, not every single politician is corrupt ( I hope), but there is enough visible evidence, and America needs to take action now.

We have seen how Taxpayer dollars has flowed into ACORN over the years, and you cannot make me believe those in Washington, D.C. had no idea of the corruption going on in that organization.  ACORN is basically an arm of the Democratic Party, and was a helping hand for the destruction of the housing market.  Don't we wish we could have avoided that downfall?

Then there is "Climategate", which many have no idea exists.  Recently, emails were found among "green global warming" scientists, discussing how they could prevent the "opposition" from getting their scientific information to the public.  They would keep opposing views out of "industry journals", where their peers and public could not see the scientific opposing information against global warming.  How many "green" companies would benefit from the "Government" requiring us to make a gazillion changes, because of "global warming"!  We already have to use those crazy mercury filled light bulbs...maybe now they will be reviewed! 

Senators given money for their districts to vote a certain way...that just seems wrong to me.  That is nothing more than vote buying.  Had it been my Senator, I truly would be embarassed to think he/she would not consider what is best for the Country, as a whole, but stoop to take the money and vote for something the people do not want.  I consider this a form of corruption...using taxpayer dollars, we don't have, to buy Senators votes!

I say, in 2010, we need to put it to the Candidates, and make "term limits" part of the "PEOPLE TAKE BACK AMERICA" campaign.  How can the "people" control what is best of America, when power hungry people like Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Rangel, continue to return every year?  It is constantly one Party against the other, for power and control, forgetting the needs of the American people in the process.  That is why it is so difficult to get anything done, because this is a "career" with fabulous benefits for them, and nothing for us!  Ask your 2010 Candidates if they will support "term limits" for themselves....let their answer be carved in stone....and then you make the decision.  Term Limits assure, "we" the people, will be the focus, and not their "campaigns"!  With a "fresh" representative periodically, we will also have new ideas, and less opportunity for "Corruption" to take hold.

BRIBING THE SOUL OF CONGRESS

Tomorrow we find out if our Representatives, those elected to serve, will keep America's best interest at heart...or will cave in to bribes.  Yes, I call them bribes, to sway votes from certain Senators, in order to gain the needed number.  At what price will politicians go, to gain the short sighted payoff for the "few", and sacrifice the "gain" for all?  All in Congress know this is no longer about Health Care, but the future of America, as we know it.  Knowing the stakes, it is unimaginable to believe elected officials would so glaringly sell the soul of America for their own benefit.     

The vote is to be taken to move forward the Governmental Power Grab, to make strides for Socialism, or worse.  From this day forward, every Congressman and Senator will be challenged to do what is right and noble for America, or break the foundation of America, and vote against the individual prosperity and freedom of its citizens. 

As I sleep tonight, and pray for the leaders of our Country, I pray each Senator will re-examine his/her own motive for the critical vote tomorrow.  We The People Are Alive And Well...And We Are Watching.  Our time will come in 2010, and we are prepared to reverse whatever path that leads us away from that which our forefathers so bravely carved for us. 
UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL...WE WILL NOT FALL!

NEW GUIDELINES FORM OF HEALTH CARE RATIONING!

There is tons of controversy over the new mammogram guidelines.  According to the Wall Street Journal, there were no radiologists or oncologists on the sixteen member task force panel.  Get used to this America!  We are obtaining a taste of what lies ahead for all of us. 

Once Health Care is passed, you can be assured more non medical tasks force members will view many "studies", and determine what is best for YOU!  Big Government will make decisions for you.  Since insurance providers will quickly adopt the guidelines, and not pay for those services, you will either pay out of pocket (if the Government allows you to do so), or wait, hope, and pray you live to the appropriate age to receive the "test, or examine".  

We cannot afford this monumental cost, and we cannot afford to allow GOVERNMENT to make our personal health care decisions!  Ultimately, the bulk of negative outcomes will affect the elderly, and very young.  Handing our Government this POWER is the first step to more Socialistic measures down the road.

No other nation has ever known the individual freedoms as America, therefore other countries "fall in place" because they have never had the power to say NO to their Government....but America was born free with individual rights, from its conception.  Stand up America and say NO to rationing health care.....NO GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE!

GEITHNER IGNORES REQUEST TO STOP TARP

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has ignored requests from Senator John Thune and other Republicans to end the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) on December 31st.  Geithner has the power to continue TARP beyond the intended end date, to basically use as revolving credit to those the "Administration" deems appropiate.  Senator Thune will introduce a bill today that keep Geithner from using the unobligated funds, approx $200 Billion for future use in 2010.  Thune contends the unused TARP money be used toward reduction of the deficit...much to the woe of Harry Reid and fellow Democrats.

There has been little or no transparency, and the money was NEVER used as intended, to purchase toxic assets from bans, but was diverted to bailout financial firms and automakers.  Why should our Government be allowed to continue to handout Billions of dollars to "unknown" entities, and especially with an election year on the horizon???  How can we be assured TARP money won't be filtered to ACORN and other "community orginizations"????  Your tax dollars used for heaven knows what!

Give up the "Money" Geithner...it is the peoples' money, and enough is enough!  Stop ignoring the Representatives of the American people.  No more revolving credit for your cronies.  STOP the bleeding, and stop plummeting America into bankruptcy!

Thank you Senator Thune for your attempt to stop this run away train.  We applaud your effort, but We The People need to stand up and demand our Government be fiscally responsible!

AMERICA SLAVE TO CHINA???

Don't look so shocked!  Anytime the "borrower" of money is pit against the "lender" of the money, tensions rise, and the lender has the "upper hand".  As the case of America and China, they are the leading "player" in buying American debt...basically our "bank".  America has over spent, and cannot live within her means, because of programs we cannot afford, fraud, waste and abuse..  Our Government has not been fiscally responsible, therefore we can no longer stand strong against China...because we are now, as the Bible quotes, "slave to the lender".  The President goes to China, and has to "tone down" any real push for human rights, trade equality, etc, because we have so much to lose.  

America is at risk of losing her foundational "soul" for money, and the American people have an opportunity to stop this ridiculous gluttony of spending by our leaders.  Never has there been a Government program that spent less than projected, on the contrary, they always spend more.  This health care plan will spend so much more than the TRILLION they tell us...a TRILLION we don't have, so where does it stop????  American people need to send a clear message to our Congress that the spending has to STOP!  Reform Health Care, and make adjustments that actually reduce costs, not escalate them.  If American people give our Government Health Care dollars, in the form of more taxes, penalties, etc, that money will be spent on other Government programs, just as has happened to money for Social Security, money for Bridges, roads, and a host of other programs.  The Government says one thing and does another.  DO NOT give up your freedom for making your own health care decisions.  We cannot afford the continuation of China building monumental control over us.  The more our Government spends, the more China and others can dictate our future destiny.

Stand up NOW America, and call your Senators to stop this health care plan in its tracks....for our future, and that of your loved ones!  Chinese is a difficult language to learn!

$$$ EIGHT BILLION FOR PRESCHOOLERS $$$$

Did you think Congress only works on Health Care?  No way, will this Congress will not miss an opportunity to spend more of your money!  In September they passed H.R. 3221, which includes 8 BILLION dollars for The Early Learning Challenge Fund (ELCF).  States have to match their amount given, but oops...no, they can submit a waiver, based on financial difficulty, which the Government claims approximately thirty-five states will probably do. 

Government wants earlier access to your child.  If we target three and four year old children, we can dramatically increase test scores...I doubt it!  Maybe that money would be better spent in ensuring parents know how to read.  According to the Government, 55% of children are enrolled in preschool programs.  Head Start provides programs for those who cannot afford private programs.

I am relieved I no longer have small children, as it is increasingly difficult to keep children from the ever increasing influence of the left wing agenda.  More and more, parents have little say or control concerning classroom content.  Over the last twenty years, I have watched the "dumbing down" of foundational subjects, and the escalation of social justice in schools. 

Mr. President, using 8 BILLION $$$$ of hard earned taxpayer dollars, will more likely end up in the coffers of the teachers' union, rather than benefiting one single three or four year old child.  Unions did turn our "BIG TIME" for your campaign, so we do see the connection.  This is another example of tax and spend on nothing that will change the fabric of America.  We continue to drift from hard core values to Socialistic Utopia. 

No wonder more parents Home School!  They know the basic "R's" still apply, and those one room schools of "by-gone days", sure did produce generations of wise, educated Americans.  Hopefully more parents will choose to teach their children, and delete the liberal propaganda...at least until college!  I can't wait to see the end result and how effectively those 8 BILLION DOLLARS WERE SPENT!
One more example on how "out of touch" this Administration is with the concerns and wishes of the American people!

SACRIFICED FOR DIVERSITY

Having lived in six states and overseas, due to Air Force assignments, I can assure you, members of a military community are a close knit group.  They and their families learn to depend on each other as one big family.  You call on each other as you would your brothers and sisters.  Never do you expect harm to face you in your own uniform.  In an all volunteer military, you have the best and brightest placing themselves on the front line for all those enjoying daily life back home.

How dare you General Casey to say it would be worse to lose "diversity" than the lives of those wonderful military men and women!  You need to step down immediately, for you no longer command the respect of any military member.  You may as well admit the Army would rather turn a blind eye to any information pointing to possible terrorism by a Muslim military member than investigate, and save the lives of those brave men and women. 

When did our Government become so "radical" itself, to allow people, who profess killing Americans as honorable, into our military, or even into our Country???  Why do we feel compelled to allow those into our Country who plot our destruction?  Are all Americans to be sacrificed in the name of "diversity"?  Where will they strike next???  Will you be in the grocery store, or post office line, or at the movie?  Can Americans feel safe anymore, or are we just sitting ducks?

Get a grip America...the war on terrorism has no boundaries.  Your Government has allowed them into our military, and all around you.  Be vigilant, and on guard, as radical Muslims have an agenda, and it is not for the sake of "diversity", but to ensure one world religion...
NO DIVERSITY THERE!

INDEPENDENT WEALTH IN CONGRESS...DOING YOU IN!

Why do our Representatives vote for programs that will affect the average American directly in their pocketbook?  They are extremely "out of touch" because so many are independently wealthy!  Do your homework, and see how your own Representative ranks in wealth.  Can they possibly be affected by their own voting when they are protected by millions? 

Wake up America!  Why do Congress members work so hard to keep their Washington, D.C. jobs?  They jet back and forth from home states to D.C., they have luxurious leased ( taxpayer paid) vehicles they drive, and they have opportunity to make lots of money, beyond their salary...I'll leave it at that.

Wealthy Congressman could care less about you in urban, suburban, or rural America!  They are in this for the power and control.  There own constituents scream they don't want Government Health Care, BUT our wealthy Congress knows what is best for you!  They are insulated by their own actions because they have lots of money in their coffers, no matter what the cost to every American.

The S-Chip was expanded by President Obama, and a 62 cent per package was placed on ciggerates to pay for this.  Do you think that additional tax effected President Obama smoking????  Do you think he can no longer afford to smoke???   I do not believe the Government has the right to tax something they as "preceive" as unhealthy!  What about alcohol?  Will they tax french fries, chips, or cookies next?  Give Congress your healthcare, and you give them your life to DICTATE!  This tax affected  people making under $200,000, and he promised not to do that!

Congress has wonderful health care that will no way compare to what they will impose on you.  Real working Americans would never impose the burden on other Americans that these wealthy Representatives will.  IF your Congressman is in Washington as a "hobby"...remove then ASAP!  Ask them how they will vote for Healthcare, and let that be your answer!!  Check out your Congress Representatives, and see if they have your best interest at heart, or are they just enjoying the recognition and power?

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO...CLEAN ELECTIONS????

President Obama felt it necessary to chastise President Karzai concerning election fraud, because America expects clean elections.  Do you think President Obama might want to take a look at our own elections?  Pointing fingers always includes three pointing back at yourself.  Considering ACORN has been caught in election fraud in our own Country, it is amazing President Obama has the odacity to act so appalled at election fraud in another country .  When the people of Iran took to the streets over election fraud, Obama was mute!  Those people deserve to have elections based on their free choice, but Obama was either afraid to speak out, or he was in favor of the outcome, but not for the people.

We have much need in this Country to ensure elections free from corruption.  Not every election poll requires an ID to be shown.  Is that not the most outrageous fact???  We need an ID to cash a check, but not to elect the most important person running our Country!  IF we standardized the voting process, we would know the person we voted for is actually the person we elected! There are so many loop holes in our election process, we should investigate our own procedures before requiring others to meet our expectations.

Voting is a wonderful freedom, and we should not take it for granted.  I pray people of the United States will wake up to the corruption in their own backyard, to keep our elections from becoming a bogus process to portray a democracy that no longer exists.

THREE STOOGES...IN THE WHITE HOUSE

IF you had to view this Administration in relation to a TV show...what would it be?  I see the Three Stooges, aka., Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, surrounded by The Little Rascals, the Congress!  Obviously, if you are younger than "fifty", you may say who?????  Check out You Tube, and it will only take one episode of each to get the "gist". 

IF it wasn't so serious, it would be down right hilarious to watch these bumbling politicians try to do their job!  The harder they try to bulldoze their Socialistic agenda, the more chaos is created.  They are struggling to push 100% agenda through in record short time, which will remove individual freedoms from every American. 

Did you hear the study has been re-established to learn what effect owning guns has on health?  Let me see, IF the Government discerns, according to "their" study, owning a gun is detrimental to your health (of course accidentally shooting yourself is a given), then what repercussions will occur?  IF the Federal Government controls Health Care, then you can believe a consequence would be for all gun owners to pay a higher insurance premium than a non gun owner...and they will know who you are through gun owner registration!  IF the premium is exboritantly high, then many Americans will be forced between owning her guns or having health care.  Do not believe your Government will not try to find a way to disarm you!

Go through Obama's agenda, and you will see how keeping people uninformed (Fairness Doctrine, and other bills), will contribute to the ultimate power grab.  He has already placed the  Government in financial, and private industry, and working on communication, education, and more.  When Government controls all, and your every move...it's called a dictatorship!  Health Care is just the beginning...so send this Administration a message.....NO TO PUBLIC OPTION.....NO GOVERNMENT CONTROL!  These "Three Stooges" are no laughing matter!

TO THE "TOP" OF THE CHAIN OF COMMAND

How many emails and letters have we seen "Dear Mr. President"?  Many have come into my "in box" and they plead the obvious to a person who has turned a deaf hear and blind eye to the American public.  Now it's crisis time, and I'm going to the top of the chain of command.  How many times do we wait until there seems to be no hope...for a loved one, ourselves, our Country, before we say, "GOD, please get us out of this mess", or "GOD, please heal this person"?  I don't point fingers, because I too have fallen short. 

As a Nation, still under GOD, we had better seek His guidance.  What if a Nation of people had bowed before GOD when Hitler was rising in the ranks?  Could a world war been prevented, or could millions of Jews been spared the brutal hand of death?  Why do we think we are able to manage on our own, when we see disaster all around us?  We need to turn to GOD, the only ONE who has the power to keep a Nation from self destructing.

Dear GOD,
Forgive us for allowing You to be diminished in our Country, as laws have been written and passed, and Judges have decided to keep You at a distance.

Forgive us for not keeping You first in our lives.  We have been enticed by "worldly" objects.  We are obsessed with our appearance, clothes, homes, cars, friends, money, and all it can buy.  Our focus in the wrong direction has taken a great toll on our Country, and the world.

Forgive us for not respecting your very foundation of love for marriage and family, and all that it entails.  Our very Government wants to devalue the union of marriage between a man and a woman.  Our lack of morals has made "family" a forgotten concept, as too many are without a Father and Mother to love, teach and guide through life. 

Forgive us for ending the very life you have made in the womb.  Our Government wants to expand that procedure and use our hard earned dollars to perform such hedonistic acts.

Forgive us for allowing schools to reject the rich Principles of the Judeo-Christian Ethic on which our great Nation was founded.  We are not perfect, but we have always known You are the guiding force behind our direction in this world.  Now, that very premise is at stake. 

Help us to help our fellow citizens to be all you plan for their lives, in this great Nation.  In the guise of "Health Care", our Government wants to tear down the very fabric of this Nation, and bankrupt it.  Open eyes to see the real scheme behind this maneuver.  Let us bind together to keep our Nation free for all, and truly focus on a fix for those who need health care.

Bring this Nation of People back to YOU, so we can prosper, and carry out Your plans in this world.  Let us not collapse into a collage of Socialism, where people lose their purpose for life, and depend on Big Government to supply their every need.  YOU made us in the beginning, just as you have every human being.  Keep our Nation from being aborted in our young life, so we may grow in Your image, and help those worldwide to know Your love for them.  YOU, GOD are our last HOPE for saving our very existence!

HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO DICTATORSHIP?

Is this a Republic or has Congress already taken over our Government?  Congress turns a deaf ear to the American public and bulldozes forward.  How many times has Congress voted on a "concept"???  How can the American people possibly know what is meant by this?  It then goes behind closed doors, and a select committee designs whatever they please.  Where is the transparency Obama promised?   Where is the Democratic process????  

Unions are screaming for the public option, and Obama owes them big time for campaign support.  Insurance Companies were suppose to be quiet, but when thrown under the bus by Congress implementing a tax on premiunm policies, they release a report of their own, disputing the cost to Americans. 

Congress has been bombarded by concerned Americans daily, with no consequence, and Washington totally went blind to the Tea Party March on Washington, D.C.  How can Congress not know the American people do not wnat Health Care takeover.  IF Congress pushes this through, you can be assured your voice means nothing! 

This is the litmis test...if health care is passed with Federal Government involvement, say goodbye to America as you know it, and consider yourself a "subject" to be ruled, rather than a participating member of society.  Congress has taken on the arrogance of a dictator, and we stop them now, or never!

WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW!!!!!

Americans feel a knot in their stomach, and a continual pounding headache associated with Obamaworld!  We see the "TAKE OVER ALL" Government agenda, and now is the time to STOP this madness.  Conservative Americans who want independence, as our forefathers demanded and sacrificed for, need to take action now.  Take out your wallet and send money to the opponents of the Socialist Left Wing Democrats, or to the true, strong Conservatives

I am a middle income American, so money is tight, but I am committed to a FREE AMERICA, and a few dollars now is well worth the sacrifice.  I want to make my own choices, and not be told by my Government to drive a mini-midget car, or delete French Fries from my diet.  China made citizens "delete" girls from their population....it happened, and now they are reaping the effects of that decision.  Governments have to be held accountable to "the people"...but when they pass laws that affect you very life, as in health care...they control you.  Don't be naive to think our Government won't want to control you...given the power, they will! 

This morning I made contributions to Michele Bachmann (R) Minnesota, and Danny Tarkanian (R) Nevada, opposing Harry Reid.  Michele has recently fought hard to make Congress stop funding ACORN, because they have received more than $53 million since 1994 in direct federal funding!  They are targeted to receive $10 Billion more!!!!  She is a true Conservative, and we cannot let Nancy Pelosi destroy this Senator!

Danny Tarkanian is worth your consideration, and I urge you to Google his name and read his website.  I have made two donations to him, and hope his campaign will continue to spread his conservative values thoughout Nevada.  Harry Reid needs to go, and maybe Pelosi will be slightly less effective without her right hand man!

Stop complaining and do something to strengthen Conservatives values...make your money work for you!  Send Congress a message...anyone in any state can contribute to any candidate.  Neither of the above represent my state, but collectively we can make a difference!  Make your contribution now!

WHAT IS PRESIDENT'S REAL AGENDA?

If you rent or own a home, you know there are priorities that need to be set; you need to eat, have clothing and pay for your shelter.  The basic needs are a necessity, and it does not take a mental giant to figure them out.  So why on GOD'S green earth would a President facing financial chaos, job loss, and a record deficit, make a major push for health care reform?  Does it even cross your mind that this supposedly smart, intellectual President cannot see the crisis in America is not health care?  So, who is feeding the President his agenda, and who is benefiting?  Obviously the American people are not a top priority, or the first thing the President would do is drastically cut spending and focus on retaining and generating new manufacturing jobs for America.  We cannot continue to rely on the rest of the world for all our consumables. 

Many Americans have acquired so much debt, they can not keep up with the minimum payments.  There comes a point when "life happens" and every penny is spent on basics, leaving credit cards piling to the ceiling.  At some point, the inevitable happens...bankruptcy looms ahead as one solution.  Basically, all debt goes away, you now have a major blemish on your credit record, and you are right back to square one.  Hopefully this time better decisions will be made, along with a more desirable outcome.

Our Country is facing such a situation, but this President has chosen to ignore it...or has he?  One benefit of bankruptcy is the opportunity to "start over", and I can't help but wonder if that is the President's plan.  IF this nation collapses financially, then the pieces will be picked up, and put back together.  How is will be reconstructed is the question.  Obama has been very open about needing fundamental change for America.  Change is the word Americans heard, and grasped for hope to unite and build a better, stronger America.  What they didn't hear was "fundamental", which means the very foundation, on which something is built....like the Constitution of our Country.  America's very "being" is at stake.  IF this President continues to ignore the true needs of this Country and buries himself in health care, gay rights, etc, the tipping point will happen, and a crisis as we have never endured will occur.  The President will reform America in his image of what America "should" look like, and we will be the "subjects", wondering how did this happen?????

You can be assured this Country is at a crossroads!  Tell you Congressman NOW that this Country needs to get out of debt, address the deficit, and  put people back to work!  YES, we do need health care reform, but the current plan for Obamcare will only catapult us even further into the above sceniro.  Payback should not be the concern of our President, but the well being of the American people.  We need the agenda to be a strong working Republic, not Socialism, Marxism, or worse.  We are fundamentally sound, so stand strong America, before we go bankrupt, and become a "global social blur" with Europe.  Our autonomy and independence is totally at stake...so ask... What is the President's real agenda????

TREES WASTED ON DEAD PEOPLE!

DID I get your attention?  Here is ANOTHER reason you don't want your health care run by the  Government.  My Mother-in-law has been dead for a year.  When she was diagnosed with cancer, I had her mail forwarded to our address to keep up with the bills.  She died within a month, and I propelled through probate in six months. 

She was the Queen of catalogs!  I called and requested she be taken off their lists, I turned in a change of address card...can you believe there is no option for "death"...and I'm still looking for the street address for Heaven...I think I put "Gold Lined Avenue"....anyway, one really nice mail carrier granted my wish.....THEN HE WAS RE-ROUTED!  Now Mr. go-by-the-book Mail Carrier delivers the catalogs again.

Last week we had a very lively debate on why I have to accept these numerous catalogs I don't want.  He says he has to deliver them, even though the primary person on the address is dead!  Because the catalog reads "or current resident", they have to be delivered.  I argued my name is not "current resident", therefore I decline accepting them...but that didn't work either.

Now Mr. Green President, I maintain there are a gazillion trees being harvested to make catalogs that end up in the trash (not everyone recycles)...and The Government has NO WAY of dealing with "simple" matters, such as dead people continuing to receive mail.  I am tempted to complete another card with the cemetery address...will "current resident" apply there????

You may have a major problem with health care, or you may have a small annoying one, but either way...YOU DO NOT WANT TO ARGUE WITH THE GOVERNMENT...I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT WIN!
