<p style="text-align: center;"><em>By C. E. Van Buren</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>With a great deal of confusion, I’ve watched for about the last three years as Barack Hussein Obama rose from near obscurity to become, the President of The United States.   A meteoric rise by anyone’s standards, that caught a large number of people, including myself, completely off guard.  However, he achieved his goal, and now we must ride out the damage until at least 2012. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The simple fact that he became President, however, is by no means the most troubling occurrence connected with his Presidency.  Much more troubling is what he, and others around him have done to our country in the name of so called ‘good government’.  What is far worse is that they have turned a significant portion of our citizenry against each other through the use of deplorable tactics such as race baiting, name calling, and classifying of people as hater, racists, conspiracy nuts, Nazis, terrorists, and anything else that can cause those on the receiving end of the abuse to back away from what they really believe.  <span id="more-1491"></span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Mr. Obama are the three top offenders in this war of words, and for some reason that I do not understand, the people being called names haven’t the ‘intestinal fortitude’ to simply shrug it off and continue their quests.  This, even more then the practice of name calling, angers me beyond belief.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>If you really are a racist, or a hater, or one of the other classifications then you shouldn’t be out here running your mouth anyway.  Those people have no place in politics, and very little of a place in society at all.  Hating someone for the color of their skin, or where they come from, or any other reason for that matter, simply has no place in our society, and those that do should not be allowed to be a part of any serious faction in our country.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Now on the other hand, if your not in fact one of these types, why would you let someone intimidate you through the use of a name, or label?  The Tea Party movement has taken more abuse then anyone can imagine from every Liberal quarter, including our illustrious President, but you don’t see them backing away from their goals.  If anything, it only inspires them to go on.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Now I don’t want to get too far off base here, as I have a message that I would like to get across.  However, I have to give credit where it is due.  The Tea Party movement has finally gotten a HUGE number of people that normally watch from the wings, or just sit it our and see what happens, off their backsides and involved in something that could easily become a live or die situation where America is concerned.  For this, and many other things, I give every branch of the Tea Party a great deal of respect, and admiration.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>That being said, let’s get back to the point.  Which is, why would you let anyone intimidate you, and force you to relinquish your position simply through the use of a name?  Names mean nothing!  They are a childish, shameful, and simply hatful, way of the Liberals to fight off your opinions because they have no other ammunition with which to fight. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>They know the people of this country are wise to what they are doing, and have done, and they have no other way to justify it.  All they can do is through out names and hope that it will cause their competitors to run for cover, afraid that others will think the Liberals are right.  Please!  The only person on this planet that knows if you are one of these ‘terrible people’ is you.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The worst of these tactics, in my view, is the ‘race card’.  It has become very common place these days for the Liberals to make a very big thing of anyone that does not agree with them, and publicly call the a raciest.  The logic here, if it can be called logic, is that “this is something that our wonderful President Obama would approve of, therefore if you do not approve you must be a racist”.  I understand that politicians are masters at stretching logic to very near the breaking point, but this is simply stupid.  It is, in fact, far beyond stupid.  It’s down right malicious.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Since Lincoln freed the slaves we have fought to complete their freedom by putting racism behind us.  In fact, we were doing a fairly good job of it, until Barack Obama came along.  Now, he and nearly everyone else around him, have set our efforts back just about fifty years.  The sad part is, it’s not just them.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Many of the various minorities have, as expected, picked up on this and have begun to use it in a very similar manor.   And why wouldn’t they, with the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Charlie Rangel, the NAACP, La Raza, and a ton of other ‘spokes people’ out there promoting the same trash.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>These people should understand what they are doing to what was on it’s way to being a ‘race neutral’ society until Obama came along.  This is probably the saddest part of all.  Because of small minded people using race as a political tool, we stand to pitch nearly fifty years of very hard work, and in so many cases a lot of suffering, right in the nearest land fill.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>If you take nothing from my ramblings here, take the message that it is time that we all simply forget the ravings of the Liberals.  Put aside the name calling.  Ignore their attempts to separate us.  Regardless of race, creed, color, religion, place of origin, or any other differences we may have, one fact still remains.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WE ARE ALL AMERICANS!!</span></strong>  This is our land, this is our history, and it is up to us how it will be run, and more importantly, by who.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>November 2, 2010 is now only three months away.  As Americans, it is our responsibility to remove the Liberals, along with any Representative or Senator, regardless of party, that are not doing what we expect of them.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Let me also add this one note of importance.  This is probably the most important election of your lifetime.  If we cannot stop this Liberal juggernaut, and take back at least the House, or the Senate, or both, I believe with all my heart that the destruction of America will be the result, at the hands of the Liberals.  If you think this is not possible, just look what they have done to us in only seventeen months.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>We must: <strong>FIRE CONGRESS!  THE ROOKIES CAN DO NO WORSE!</strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>By C. E. Van Buren</em></p>
<p><em>For many years now I, like the rest of you, have watched, and listened, to our elected officials tell us one lie after another about the illegal immigration from Mexico to America, as well as any number of other issues.  I said this to a friend the other day, and he felt I was being a little harsh calling what the government dished out to be lies.  Well, that’s the way I see it, and here are a few of the reasons for my position.</em></p>
<p><em> </em><em>We are told for instance, that “<strong>They are only taking jobs that US citizens will not do.”</strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em>Lie: </em></strong><em>There are no jobs that unemployed Americans will not do, if they are paid a reasonable wage.  In the vast majority of cases, American citizens that pay taxes, rent, child care, food, and other expenses cannot do the same work for the same wage as people that pay nearly nothing of their own expenses because they are supported by the Federal Government, as well as state and local hand outs.  Believe it or not, American citizens are not eligible under these support systems.  Why?  They are American citizens.<span id="more-1486"></span></em></p>
<p><em> </em><em>A very large number of them have found their way, thanks to the greedy contractors that hire them, into the construction industry.  How can a legal drywall laborer who should be making a minimum of $18 &#8211; $24.00/hour compete with an illegal worker that only gets $5.00/hour if he’s lucky?</em></p>
<p><em> </em><em>People are so worried about these people being homeless if we do not take care of them.  Maybe I’m just to ridged, but every one of them left their own homes, jobs, in some cases families, just to come here an and send money, our money, back to their home country.  Each year illegals send some twenty BILLION dollars back to their home countries south of the border. Tax free.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em><em> </em><strong><em>“They come here looking for one thing.  Citizenship.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Lie:  </em></strong><em>Illegal aliens want nothing to do with US Citizenship.  Why should they?  They want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the ocean of benefits ‘forced’ on them by the United States such as employment, medical care, instate tuition, government subsidized housing, free education for their children, free school breakfasts and lunches.  This list goes on and on.  If that is not enough, NO TAXES!  Why in heaven’s name, would they want to become citizens and loose all that?</em></p>
<p><em> </em><strong><em>“The United States welcomes immigration.”</em></strong></p>
<p><em>OK, that’s <strong>True:  </strong>However, these people are NOT immigrants.  They are, by definition, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">criminals</span></strong> that are stealing from every one of us that pays taxes.  Stealing from those that want to work, but cannot compete for work that pays less then minimum wage, for skilled jobs, just because there are criminals that will.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em><strong><em>“Mexico is our ally, our friends.”</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Back to the <strong>Lies:</strong>  Mexico is not now, and has not been for many decades, a friend to the United States.  Like their people, Mexico loves the money we send them, and the many businesses that have tried to setup shop there, but when the chips are down, guess what.  </em></p>
<p><em>During WW1 German spies were allowed unfettered access to our southern border by way of Mexico.  The same occurred during WW2 when they allowed the same access to Axis spies.  During the Cold War, Mexico allowed spies hostile to the US, to operate freely. The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was applauded all across Mexico. Today Mexican school children are taught that the US stole California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. See for yourself.  You can check out some Mexican textbooks written for their school children on-line.  Their own president comes here and lectures us over the new Arizona immigration law.  And you do not want to know what happens to an American crossing into Mexico illegally.  The only support they will get is during their time in a Mexican jail.</em></p>
<p><em>This is the big one for me. </em></p>
<p><strong><em>“It is racist to secure our borders.”</em></strong><em> </em><strong><em>Lie, lie, lie!!!</em></strong><em></em></p>
<p><em>I for one am sick and tired to people calling everything that they do not agree with as being racist.  I’ve lived long enough to see a great deal of both sides of this race issue.  I can tell you that up through the 1960’s race was a disgraceful problem in this country.  I know that there are some that harbor  these same feelings today.  However, until Barack Obama came along, I believe we were making some very serious strides in dampening the problem, with the majority of our society trying to eliminate it all together.  </em></p>
<p><em>Now, we find ourselves stuck with Obama until at least 2012, and if it is not him it is someone on his staff, or the Liberal pimples in Congress using race as an excuse, or to attempt to force some bill down our throats.  Everything that disagrees with Obama’s position, or with that of the Liberal left, is now considered a raciest attitude.  Or that is the way they spin it.  </em></p>
<p><em>I’m sick of it!!  It’s not being racist to want to protect our countries borders.  It’s not racist to demand that the Liberals stop spending money that our grandchildren do not have.  It’s not racist to not want to pay taxes that are so high there is nothing left to live on.  </em></p>
<p><em>I think you get my point.  We must find a way to stop this administration, and this Liberal Congress from causing any further damage to our country, and breaking the back of Capitalism is exactly their goal.  If we do not, the time will come in the very near future when none of us will recognize this wonderful land.  </em></p>
<p><em>November is coming soon, and  you will need to make up your mind how, and in what direction, this country will be lead.  Please, don’t make up your mind from what you read in the media, not even Fox news should be your only source.  Do some research of your own.  Is your congressman doing what you expect of him/her?  Make up your own mind.  Most important of all <strong>VOTE!</strong>!  We can’t send them home any other way.  Don’t think this means to only remove Democrats either.  Believe me there are many Republicans that need a ‘pink slip’ as well.  How ever you vote, do it for the good our country.   FIRE CONGRESS!!  THE ROOKIES CAN DO NO WORSE!!</em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>By C. E. Van Buren</em></p>
<p><em>Well, their at it again.  With thousands of barrels of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico, and it seems no one is able to stop it, at the moment.  The Obama administration has decided the way to stop the leak is to pass yet another law.  Not a law that would stop the leak, or even one that would see to it that such a catastrophe could not happen in the future.  The law he really wants passed is simply another TAX law.  A tax law that will include the majority of the Cap and Trade language that, until now, was all but dead in the Senate.  Yet, as we all know by now, nothing that the Liberals want is ever actually dead.  </em></p>
<p><em>They were ordered by a court of law not to impose the six month deep water drilling moratorium in the gulf.  Not good enough for Obama, they are rewriting (resurrecting) the same moratorium using different language, and moving forward as if nothing has happened.  The only way to stop the new one is to go back to court <span style="text-decoration: underline;">again</span>.  It would seem the law does not apply to Obama.  </em></p>
<p><em>In the same light, the congress and the White House have decided that no one is going to tell them they cannot have their Global Warming legislation, no matter what.  They will use any means necessary to force these laws down our throats just like they did the train wreak they called health care.   <span id="more-1483"></span></em></p>
<p><em>The problem is they know very well that We The People are watching them like hawks now.  With the November elections only three months away they have to find some way to pass their agendas without angering us more then we are.  The chances are that their opposition, the Republicans/Conservatives will make a very good showing at the polls in November, and if the best case happens we will simply gut them and take back both houses.  Should this delightful circumstance occur, this round of the Liberal movement will be pretty much DOA.  In order to supply some form of ‘damage control’ Obama and his ‘lap dogs’ must pass something.  Anything for that matter, to show their supporters that they are still alive, and sort of kicking.  </em></p>
<p><em>So now for the next sixty to ninety days it is going to be a feeding frenzy to see who can pass what before the end of their days.  </em></p>
<p><em>Frankly, for them, the bigger the legislation the better it will look to their supporters.  I mean face it, with all the hundreds of millions of dollars that Georg Soros has pumped into this effort, I’m sure he wants some kind of return of his investment in this Community Organizer he put in the White House.  I think we will see a true ‘full court press’ from Obama, Reid, and Pelosi over the next couple of months.  I can only hope, and pray, there is enough opposition from us to keep them contained.</em></p>
<p><em>The important part in all this is that those of us that oppose them need to step up the heat even more then we already have to see to it that what we are fighting for finally comes to pass.  If it means spending more time hounding our Representatives, including the President by the way, then this is what we must do.  Demonstrate where ever, and when ever, we can.  Peacefully, of course.  We are not Liberals.  If we have friends that are Independents, Democrats, even Liberals, we need to do what ever we can to persuade them to come over to our way.  Attend the Tea Party events, fill the halls at the Town Hall Meetings.  What ever it takes get this job done.  Seeing to it that Reid and Pelosi get sent home would really be a worthy effort.</em></p>
<p><em>Just as an after thought in closing, I found a story in Yahoo News this morning that just seemed out of place to me.  I’m not going to say the story is a plant, but it seems a bit coincidental that it appeared at the time when Obama is trying once again to sell something that strongly resembles Cap &amp; Trade.  The single largest tax increase this country has ever seen.</em></p>
<p><em>In 1985 a team of British scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica.  This caused an enormous stir in the idea of Global Warming and a war was on ‘to save the planet’ from the CFC’s and keep the ozone from ‘leaking’ out.   </em></p>
<p><em>Now it seems the hole is repairing itself, and the scientists are wringing their hands because the winds may bring down the ozone to the surface and cause smog.  <strong>You simply cannot win with these people.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Here is the link to the story.  Maybe you can make sense out of it:</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20100701/sc_livescience/thedownsidetotherecoveryoftheozonehole">http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20100701/sc_livescience/thedownsidetotherecoveryoftheozonehole</a></em></p>
<p><em>Either way, the point is folks, we have a great start on getting these people out of congress, and start returning our wonderful country to the greatness it once enjoyed.  We cannot, we MUST NOT, allow them to continue.  If it is not the Liberal agenda, the excessive spending, the attempts at excessive taxes, including a Value Added tax that will certainly break what little is left of the bank, it’s any number of other disasters with them.  If that is not enough, I feel safe in saying that 50-60% of our elected representatives are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">corrupt</span> and on the take in one form or another.  This is not the way to care for this country that is so important to all of us.  We need honest representation.  Now!! Point is, it’s time to <strong>FIRE CONGRESS!!  THE ROOKIES CAN DO NO WORSE!!</strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>By Carl E. Van Buren</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>If one is to believe the press that our beloved President has been receiving from even the ‘Drive By Media’ lately, one must easily come to the conclusion that Barack Hussein Obama is rapidly coming unglued, and with good reason.  With all that he has done to this country in less than eighteen months, he’s obviously been a really busy boy.  Busy in a focused attempt to bring this country to it’s knees, and cause us to become a ‘third world’ country of socialists.  Or worse, a country of Islam.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>For more then a year of that time, he has had the advantage of his own personal media organization to inform each of us as to what we should think.  Something, however, has gone tragically wrong for the Anointed One.  In fact, just about everything has gone wrong.  Oh, he still reads brilliantly from his teleprompter, he’s still doing what he does best, campaigning for one thing or another, playing an outstanding game of golf, seeing to it that no one can corner him on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  Yet no matter what he does, his approval rating sinks like the Titanic, deeper and deeper, every time he opens his ‘gifted’ mouth.  Even the wonderful teleprompter cannot seem to save him these days.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>At least that’s the way is seems.  On the other hand, I see only one thing in his political self destruction.  I see him distracting We The People, once again, while the others in congress are putting together another bill that will drive the final nail in America’s financial coffin.  I say ‘another bill’ as if there is only one on the horizon.  No such luck.  Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the good little socialists are putting together a bucket full of bills, ranging from the financial overthrow of Wall St. to the destruction of the Second Amendment as well as the first, if we allow it.  All the time, BHO is keeping the eyes of We The People focused on his antics.<span id="more-1479"></span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>For nearly fifty days from the beginning on the problem in the Gulf, Barack Obama sat around the club house at the golf course torturing himself, unable to develop a strategy on how to ‘plug the damn hole’ and not being able to figure out ‘who’s ass to kick’ to get this problem to go away.   Well, I for one, do not believe it for a minute.  All he is doing is pulling the old magician’s routine of distraction.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>You see, one day while hanging around the nineteenth hole it came to him.  “I’ll blame it on Bush, and then I’ll convince these idiots that the Cap and Trade bill is the only way to fix it.  <strong>I mean we can’t let a perfectly good catastrophe go to waste.</strong>  Besides, that’s about the only way we can get that ‘one legged turkey’ past the people.” </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>With that he spent a whole <span style="text-decoration: underline;">two days</span> in the gulf area, with what’s left of his media snapping thousands of pictures of him picking up, maybe, as many as four oil/tar balls, then back to Washington to get ready to kick some BP ass.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Next, he gets this Dutchman (chairman) in charge of BP that can barely speak English to sit down at his conference table to chat.  When their four hour lunch was over everyone made nice for the cameras again, and after the Dutchman insulted 80% of We The People, they went their ways.  Everyone’s happy, problem solved.  Right!!</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>In the first place, don’t kid yourself.  BP walked away from that table a very happy camper.  If all it costs them is $20 billion dollars to fix this mess, they will find themselves a great deal happier then they were afraid they would when this started.  A couple of weeks past BP officials thought it would be much closer to the $50 billion mark.  This way they will still have plenty left to add to their share holders coffers next year.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Here’s where the trouble really started for me.  Obama, makes one of the worst speeches I have ever heard from him, and this, my friends is where the ‘shuck and jive’ starts again.  By upsetting We The People with his <span style="text-decoration: underline;">obvious ineptness</span>, and an even more obvious $20 billion dollar grab for the government, he thinks that we are stupid enough to actually believe him.  That we are not be capable of understanding the reason that he spent nearly two thirds of his speech talking about ‘clean energy’ and ways to reduce our dependence on oil, as a source of energy.  Now here is what I believe is going on while we are watching him ‘self destruct’.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The Kerry-Lieberman bill, known as Cap and Tax, (OK I’ll be good) the Cap and Trade bill, will do nothing less then put the United States Government in the pocket of every oil company, energy company, every company for that matter that produces ANYTHING that causes carbon to enter the atmosphere.  This really means ANYTHING that processes ANYTHING.  There is even language in the bill that has passed the House, that could allow the government to take control of the thermostat in your own private home, and decide for you how much heat or AC you need in your life.  Don’t you just love it?  The don’t want We The People to know they are about to be had (again), so the reason the Obama ‘shuck and jive’ act.  He draws attention to himself while the Congress does his dirty work.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Now Obama has promised, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">many times</span>, that there will be no need for any new taxes on the people.  Unfortunately, with Cap and Trade this is not exactly true.  No, they will not tax We The People……. directly at least.  Instead, they will slap any, and all, of your providers such as oil companies, utility companies, any company that produces goods and services, with a Carbon Credit tax.  The fact is, companies DO NOT PAY TAXES.  They add them to the cost of their goods and pass them along to, guess who, We The People.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>John Kerry (D-MA) has gone out of his way to tell the news media that the gas tax will not be raised, and he may be right.  They will not raise the gas tax, they will simply raise the cost of the gas.  See, the people are not being taxed, they are just being………….  maybe I should leave that alone.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>These statements came from a story in Yahoo News.  Only a few lines, but very telling:  “According to a <a title="http://click.email.americansolutions.com/?qs=64db73b37ccffab6395a58b9c4602a7dab2e09a28df8d38304f8806d0776b8ff" href="http://click.email.americansolutions.com/?qs=64db73b37ccffab6395a58b9c4602a7dab2e09a28df8d38304f8806d0776b8ff">new study</a> by Point Carbon “the Global Warming Bill authored by John Kerry (D-MA) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT) amounts to a new gasoline tax on American motorists.  As <a title="http://click.email.americansolutions.com/?qs=64db73b37ccffab6f8c57607c6c78c4e40bab65f6d6d234d1aece94d389bbae0" href="http://click.email.americansolutions.com/?qs=64db73b37ccffab6f8c57607c6c78c4e40bab65f6d6d234d1aece94d389bbae0">The Hill newspaper reports</a>: Oil refiners would not participate in the trading system but would purchase allowances based on historic sales figures set aside each quarter. <strong>The companies would pass those costs onto consumers, resulting in the higher gas costs</strong>.”</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Hmmm….. what was that old saying ‘A rose by any other name….. ?  I hate to tell the good Senators but this is still a tax.   Sadly, this makes it obvious to me that Obama will do anything to keep you from finding out what is going on until it is too late to stop it.  This monstrosity is waiting now in the Senate to be passed.  If it is not stopped we will soon be slaves to a government that our founders could not even have conceived of.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Another problem for me is that Cap and trade is not a one-time tax. Far from it.  This is  a new system of taxation, and it will allow the Congress to expand it endlessly into taxing every aspect of America&#8217;s energy and economy.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The Point Carbon study estimated this new energy tax will amount to $350 billion by 2020. But if a new cap and trade energy tax system passes this year, there is nothing to prevent a future Congress from increasing it next year, just as Congress is currently discussing increasing, and extending, a whole array of our existing taxes. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>First thing I will ask of every one who reads this is to call their Senators and make them aware that passing this mess WILL cost them their jobs.  Now or later.  Let them know your mean what you say.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Second, and most important, we are rapidly approaching the November election that can bring this insanity to a halt.  Spend time learning about the candidates in your area.  Be sure that those we send to Washington are better, much better, then the ones we are kicking out.  Make them understand the rules have changed as well.  Don’t let them have the time to be corrupted like the others have.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Finally, please remember, I’m not talking about only Liberals.  There are Republicans that need to go just as badly as any Democrats.  As I’ve said so many times,  <strong>FIRE CONGRESS!!  THE ROOKIES CAN DO NO WORSE!</strong></em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em> By Carl E. Van Buren</em></p>
<p><strong>This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the  <em>Czech</em><em> Republic</em><em> </em>as published in the<em> </em><em>Prager Zeitung</em><em> </em>of 28 April 2010.</strong></p>
<p>“The danger to America is not  Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.  It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an  Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment  to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.</p>
<p>&#8220;The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who  is a mere symptom of what ails America .  Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all,  merely a fool.  It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools  such as those who made him their president.”</p>
<p><span id="more-1476"></span></p>
<p><em>For myself, I think it a sad state of affairs that it takes a reporter from a country like Poland to recognize the truth of what we have done to ourselves in America.  Yes, ‘what WE have done’ to ourselves.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>It’s easy for us to sit back now, and whine about what Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the extreme Liberals have done to us.  Let’s face it, hind site has always been 20/20, but the true fact is that we put them there in the first place.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>I can already hear the masses screaming, “Oh, no.  I didn’t vote for them.  I had nothing to do with it.”  Really?  Did you get out and knock on doors for the Republicans, or even the Independents candidate that was running against them?  Did you help the local party make phone calls, put up posters, anything to help a party that might have stopped them in the first place?  I think you see the point I’m making here.  Yet the worst question is, </em><strong><em>did you vote?</em></strong><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Now I really do understand that voting for John McCain was not exactly the choice we would have liked to make.  The fact is that, though, if we had been doing what was right in the first place we probably wouldn’t have had to make that choice.  The Liberal Democrats had already gained the seats in Congress that they needed to lay the foundation for Barack Obama.  This was because the Republicans had lost their way and forced us to do so.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>President Bush, admittedly, did his part by leaving what should have been a great Presidency in shambles during the last four years of his office.  The Republicans pretty much went crazy with our credit cards, and really lost their good sense as well.  It was this that allowed the Liberals to retake the House and Senate in the first place.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>However!!  The real blame falls squarely in the lap of We The People.  We are the ones that have allowed ourselves to fall into the muddy waters of apathy.  To sit at home and watch the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">results</span> of the elections rather then getting out of the chair and make use of the greatest of our rights and liberties.  We did not do the one thing that scares the Liberals to death.  We didn’t VOTE!!  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>So many of us have, over the years, come to the conclusion that ‘my one vote makes no difference either way.’  OK, I understand the feeling.  It’s hard to get out there in what is usually terrible weather and sometimes stand in long lines just to cast our single, insignificant, little vote.  What a huge mistake that is!  If all the people that felt that way would have gone out and made use of our greatest right of freedom, I truly believe that the Liberals would not be in power today, and we would not be stuck with the ‘prince of fools’ Barack Obama, in the White House leading the multitude of fools we find ourselves cursed with today.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Is there something we can do, now that it has happened?  Of course there is.  Exactly what I have been talking about all along.  We have an election coming up on November 3<sup>rd</sup> of this year.  Just slightly less then six months down the road.  In that election, many important Senators, Harry Reid being one of them, and the ENTIRE House of Representatives will be up for election.  This is the place where we have the opportunity to take back our country, and our self respect.  And all you have to do is VOTE.  Of course, getting others to do the same thing would certainly be a plus.  As I noted in the outset, make phone calls, offer a ride to the polls for people that need transportation, help your choice of candidates by knocking on doors and letting others know what we need to take back our country, and regain the blessings of freedom through the greatest single right that is offered us by liberty.  The right to vote.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>One final point.  Before you make use of that powerful right, learn about those that would covet that vote.  Our problems are not confined to the Liberals alone.  Democrats and Republicans, along with the extremes of both parties have caused this endless string of problems, and everyone of them that are involved MUST be sent home.  Point is, don’t waste that valuable vote of  yours on the same ‘good ol boy’ that you’ve voted for all these years.  Find out for yourself who is the best person available to represent you, and your views, in Washington.  Then do all you can to send him/her there to do just that.  FIRE CONGRESS!  THE ROOKIES CAN DO NO WORSE!!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/I-know-better.jpg" title="I know better" rel="lightbox[1470]"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1471" title="I know better" src="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/I-know-better-277x300.jpg" alt="" width="277" height="300" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, I’m getting pretty sick of being told what I can think, what I can say, what I am, what I should be, what I believe, and worst of all what I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">can</span> believe.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Since long before Barack Obama came into the picture the Liberals in this country have taken it upon themselves to ‘educate’ the rest of us in what is correct and what is not according to the teachings of the ‘Great Liberal’ in their sky. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>They will decide what you are allowed to do with everything you have, or ever will have.  They will decide how much you can make, and how much you must share with those ‘less fortunate souls’ that feel we owe them a living.  They have formulated a plan that tells you how much medical care you are allowed, who your allowed to receive it from, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">when it will be cut off</span>.  While no one is talking about it openly at this time, they will probably soon decide when you will die. </em></p>
<p><em> <span id="more-1470"></span></em></p>
<p><em>They feel threatened since those they would rule have the ability to defend themselves, so they have put together a plan that is so wondrously deceitful that we will not even know our guns are gone until we need them. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>They have decided that they should be in charge of all the energy resources in the country, and will only allow each of us that amount which <span style="text-decoration: underline;">they believe</span> we need to live our lives.  This, of course, will include how much we pay for gas, electricity, heating oil, pretty much anything that we need to live. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>In their warped little world your not allowed to believe in God.  He is just another myth that is used to give the lower classes to hope, and we all know that they cannot allow the working class to have any hope.  This would disrupt their entire plan.  Why?  Because they believe that we are not smart enough, or sophisticated enough, to have control over our lives.  We need them to show us the way.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>This is the very short version of the Liberal mindset, and the fact is that it takes into account only a very small number of the laws they will force on us, if given the opportunity.  The long version would take many pages to express, and frankly, I really do not have the stomach to continue. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The whole point is that the Liberals will stop at nothing in order to be in control.   Control of the government, control of the people, control of the money, control of everything. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>If that is not enough of a problem, now we have Barack Obama to deal with.  Even worse, he comes to Washington and is welcomed by an ecstatic Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.  Their fondest dreams have just come true.  They attract like magnets to steel and now they are thicker then thieves.  Which of course, also figures.  Now, with no need to hide it, they simply do what ever they like with no controls. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Recently, thanks to all our friends in the Tea Party movement the sparkle of the Three Musketeers has dulled drastically, and they are having to fight for every inch they gain.  So, what do they use for weapons now?  What else?  The same weapon they have always used, and I’m surprised that it still works.  If you don’t like what they do YOU’RE A </em>RACIST<em>!!  No matter what you have to say, no matter if it’s good for the country, no matter if it protects the people or not, if it does not agree with Obama, YOU’RE A RACIST!!  No other way, YOU’RE A </em>RACIST<em>!!</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The only real racist’ anymore are in the halls of government, and We The People need to understand that we are being beaten up terribly in order for them to complete their agenda.  They will do anything to gain the power they desire, and they could care less about anything We The People have to say about it. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>One other thing.  If you think they are not serious, you might want to consider that this is not a battle that just started a couple of years, or even a couple of decades back.  This battle has been in the making, for the Liberals, for more then 100 years.  Now that they think their ship is about to dock, you can be sure they will not give it up without one devil of a fight. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>So, what is to be done?  What is to be done is, every American that can still think for their selves needs to get every scrap of information they can find that will oppose this take over and use it in deciding who will be voted for, first in November, and then of course in November of 2012. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>I believe, very strongly, that there are people in this country that care about her and love everything she stands for.  People that believe that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are the core of what we believe in and will stand for.  Not some “living document” as Nancy Pelosi would have you believe.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>It is our duty as Americans to seek these people out and replace the corrupt politicians that are in Washington today, in order to return us to the wonderful country we once were. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>It is our responsibility to bring down those people such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid who so lust for the power they believe is their right. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Every one of us needs to know who should remain, and then who we should replace the rest of them with.  Above all, it must be soon.  November is not that far away, and you can be sure that Obama will do anything he has to, right or wrong, legal or not, to remain in power another term. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>However, this country cannot withstand another term with Obama at the helm.  Personally, I think we will be fortunate if we survive the next two and a half years with him in office.  So, as I have said so many time, FIRE CONGRESS!  THE ROOKIES CAN DO NO WORSE!</em></p>

I can’t speak for everyone else of course, but I can darn well speak for myself. As for me, I have reached the absolute end of the rope with these useless individules we have elected to our House of Representatives, and to our Senate. We made it very well known to them that we did not want [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><em> </em></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Cap-and-Trade1.jpg" title="Cap-and-Trade1" rel="lightbox[1466]"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1467" title="Cap-and-Trade1" src="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Cap-and-Trade1-300x227.jpg" alt="" width="416" height="284" /></a></em></div>
<div><em>I can’t speak for everyone else of course, but I can darn well speak for myself. As for me, I have reached the absolute end of the rope with these useless individules we have elected to our House of Representatives, and to our Senate. We made it very well known to them that we did not want their 2,000+ page healthcare bill. Yet in case you’ve been living in a cave these last few months, the news is they pushed it through whether we wanted it or not. In doing so, we were lied to, openly, on a daily, if not an hourly, basis.   </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>We watched helplessly as members of Congress (both houses) were pressured in ways we can probably never understand, nor would we probably want to. We could only watch from way down here as the ‘gods of Olympus’ just as openly bribed who ever they needed to for their vote. These bribes came from the Speaker of The House, the President of The Senate, and, of all things, the President of the United States himself.   They actually held both houses ‘prisoners’ in session until they would have voted for anything just to be allowed to go home. </em></div>
<div> <span id="more-1466"></span></div>
<div><em>Those of us with the capacity to think for ourselves, watched in horror as the House actually passed the Cap &amp; Tax (ok Cap and Trade) bill and sent it to the Senate. Thankfully, it is still on the bottom of their priority list, only because they were shamefully embarrassed in Copenhagen at the Global Warming Summit. Thankfully, someone was able to make public hundreds of e-mail that prove, almost without a doubt, that Global warming is simply one more Liberal tool to push us over the edge into Socialism. Thank God for small favors and hackers. Just as a small sidebar on that topic. Do you have the slightest clue what it cost to send all those people, all their assistants, and in some cases their families (oh yes they did) to Copenhagen for that ‘Dog &amp; Pony Show’? So what. It’s all on credit. Then again, who do you think is going to have to be good for the bill when it arrives? We The People!  </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>Now we read each day about new bills the (Liberals) are trying to force through the same way. Most of them as smoke screens so our attention is diverted from the items that will allow them to succeed in their overall plans for the country. They wave these bills in one hand that will anger us so much that they think we will not be watching the other hand. That’s where the real trouble is.</em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>For instance, do you really think the Democratic party wants the lending industry in this country limited right now. It that were to happen, all their constituents on welfare that just ‘have to have a house’ they can’t afford, would never be able to get one if their lives depended on it. And, of course, if that happened, who do you think those constituents will vote for next time. No sir! The very last thing they want to do is cut off the support to their voting base. </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>The same goes for immigration. Stop the flow of illegals into this country, and the same voting base (illegals that are already here) will take their vote elsewhere. If you think those illegals don’t vote, by the way, think again. Now to be fair, I have to admit that not a single administration, or congress, in decades has done any better. No one wants to take responsibility for the problem, and upset the relatives of all those ‘voters’ that have already found their way here. </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>This one, however, this new climate bill, was the final straw for me. John Kerry (D-Mass) and Joe Lieberman, (I-Conn) are sponsoring yet another climate bill in the Senate. Now it’s a ‘climate bill’ because they know they cannot get away with ‘climate <span style="text-decoration: underline;">change</span>’ any longer, but they simply <span style="text-decoration: underline;">refuse</span> to let it go. </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>This ‘new’ bill will do nearly everything that the Cap &amp; Trade bill would have done only without the toxic “Climate Change” label being attached to cause them trouble. Instead, the new bill is shrouded in things such as ‘the recent oil spill in the gulf’ and our ‘addiction to oil’. Nothing about how they plan to pay for it, or even exactly what it will actually do for us. Of course this too is not unusual.</em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>Yet the bill is 987 pages long. Why does it take 987 pages to write a climate bill. Or 2,000+ pages to write a health care bill that we had to pass so we could not what was in it, according to Ms Pelosi. Like most of the bills now it is so large because that way no average person could not understand it if they tried. So, what are they hiding in this one. </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>I have never trusted John Kerry, and never will. Anyone that would try to do what he did to his fellow soldiers cannot be trusted in anything. Lieberman was once a great Senator, but in recent years he has started to simply ‘go along’ rather then being the good leader that he could be, and this bill makes that pretty obvious for me. </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>I’ve inserted a link to the article here to afford everyone the chance to judge for yourself. I encourage you to just that. </em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em><a onclick="externalLink('externalLinkOverlay', 'http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100512/ap_on_bi_ge/us_climate_bill'); return false;" rel="nofollow" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100512/ap_on_bi_ge/us_climate_bill">http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100512/ap_on_bi_ge/us_climate_bill</a></em></div>
<div> </div>
<div><em>The fact is that this country, this world for that matter, really does need to be taken care of. It’s the only one we have, and I would like my grandchildren to have something to enjoy as I have. However, like so many other things, letting the government be the caretakers is simply out of the question. </em></div>

<p><strong><em>Barack OBAMA, during a speech in Cairo, announced to the world:  </em></strong><em></em></p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America&#8217;s story.&#8221;</em></strong><em></p>
<p></em></p>
<p><em>Strangely enough, that is not the way I remember American history.  In fact, I have a very hard time recalling any noticeable contributions to America, and her historic past, that has been shared by the Muslim people.  Therefore, I would have to ask Mr. Obama exactly what Muslims he is referring to?</em></p>
<p><em><br />
<strong>Were there Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed?   I really don’t remember anything about them in the history books.  In fact, I thought they were Native American Indians.</strong></p>
<p><strong> It might have been Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day?   No, again I have to say those were Pilgrims, and yes, Native American Indians.</strong></p>
<p><strong> I have looked very carefully, and for the life of me, I cannot find even one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, or for that matter, any other of our founding document.  Not one!  Doesn’t this strike you as odd, if “Islam has always been a part of America’s story?”  It does me.</strong><br />
<span id="more-1463"></span><br />
Maybe it was the Muslims that helped us fight the English for our freedom. <strong> You know, came in at the last minute and saved us from that terrible King George.  </strong></em></p>
<p><em><br />
<strong>No.  Seems to me that was the French.  Much as I hate to admit it now, but it was not the Muslims.</strong></p>
<p></em></p>
<p><strong><em>Could it have been the Civil War?  Did Muslims fight during the Civil War?  No, I don’t think it was then.  Muslims had no part of freeing the slaves in this country.  As a matter of fact, Muslims, to this very day are the largest traffickers in human slavery of every race, including their own. Mr. Obama’s own half brother, a devoted Muslim, still advocates slavery, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as &#8220;pug nosed slaves.&#8221;   </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Now that I really think of it, there were even precious few Muslims that contributed to any part of our countries way of life even through the late 1960’s.   Where were Muslims during the fight for Civil Rights in this country? </em></strong><em></p>
<p><strong> There is no photographic evidence or news paper stories accounts about the legions of  Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr.  If memory serves, the Civil Rights movement have pretty much calmed down before anyone even heard of Muslims.  Even then it was a boxer named Cassius Clay changing his name in order to avoid the draft in America.  Called himself </strong></em><em>Muhammad Ali, so he wouldn’t have to serve in his own countries Army.  Sure says something for Muslims doesn’t it?</p>
<p><strong> They would have never been a part of the Woman&#8217;s Suffrage era.   We know very well how women are treated under Muslim law. </strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>During WW II they aligned themselves with Germany against us.  The Muslim grand mufti (don’t ask) met with Hitler, reviewed his troops, and accepted support from the Nazi’s in killing Jews.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><em>I could probably go on and on with this, but I think you get the point.  Yet there really was on time when the Muslims had a very profound effect on American culture.  It was in the morning of September 11<sup>th</sup>, 2001.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>On that day, Muslims changed the history of America forever.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong><em>On that infamous day, they flew two commercial aircraft, loaded with passengers, into  World Trade Center , another into the Pentagon in Washington DC, and only by the grace of God and a number of heroic passengers, another went into a field in Pennsylvania.  In all, killing more then 3,000 people on our own soil.  </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>As if this was not bad enough, they were rejoicing all over the Middle East.  Try as he might, even the wondrous Barack Hussein Obama cannot dispute the coverage from all over the Muslim world celebrating on camera for CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and many others.   The very same &#8220;moderate&#8221; (as you call them) Muslims who&#8217;s backsides you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were utterly silent post 9-11.  To most of us, Mr. Obama, their silence has indicated their approval for the acts of that day.</em></strong><em></p>
<p><strong> And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the &#8220;rich heritage&#8221; Muslims have here in America .</strong></p>
<p><strong> Oh, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates.   They were Muslims also.  We can also add the slaughter of American soldiers at Ft. Hood.   Also the endless attempts to bring down civilian aircraft in the U.S.  </strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Is this the “Muslim heritage” that Mr. Obama wants us to embrace?    </em></strong><em></p>
<p>Should anyone be interested, by the way, all this “Muslim heritage” has been brought to you by Mr. Obama, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter.  The Muslim’s go spanked right and proper, each time they messed with a conservative President.  Yet every time a Liberal President came to office, the first thing they did was gut the military.  Next thing you know, America gets slammed for it. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Now I will not call Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim as I do not have any solid proof of that.  I will say, however, that he seems the most sympathetic President toward them that we have ever had.  This sympathy of his is going to cost us, and I do not mean in taxes alone.<strong></strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Snake-Oil2.jpg" title="Snake Oil" rel="lightbox[1461]"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1460" title="Snake Oil" src="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Snake-Oil2-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="382" height="293" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>Recently, our elected leaders chose to complete the process of forcing President Obama’s dream of universal Healthcare down the throats of the American people, whether they wanted it or not.  Just for the record, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">they do not</span>.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The team of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid twisted enough arms, bought enough voted, bribed enough people, and generally intimidated enough law makers to finally allow this atrocity to become a law of the land.  A law that We The People will now have to live with unless we are intelligent enough to kick out those that have betrayed us, and replace them with a new group that is made up of people we can trust to undo what they have done to us.  If it can be undone, that is.</em></p>
<p><em> <span id="more-1461"></span></em></p>
<p><em>In order to do this We The People, regardless of party, must come together in November and find the right people to do the job.  We only have a little over five months to maintain our resolve.  Five short months to remain active and informed.  Five months to gain the momentum that will literally change the landscape of Washington politics in order to start us on the path that can return us to the ways of our founders.  Five critical months that will actually make or break the backbone of our country.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>To assist in maintaining that resolve, let me bring you some facts that just came to light last week about Obama’s utopian healthcare plan.  Remember all his promises about the cost of the plan, and the promises of ‘no new taxes’ and no tax increases on anyone making less then $200,000.00 dollars a year?  Well according to the <strong>Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)</strong> this might be just a little bit off the mark.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The information below was taken from that report.  The report was issued by the CMS Chief Actuary Richard S. Foster.  It vindicates the many of us that have been shouting at the top of our lungs about the cost of this folly for months on end.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Just for starters, the so called healthcare ‘reform’ law will increase the costs dramatically, overall, and will cause millions of seniors to actually lose their current coverage.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Here are just a few of the CMS findings that may interest you:</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>• National healthcare expenditures will increase by $311 Billion in the next ten years. [page 4]<br />
• Healthcare will increase to 21% of GDP by 2019 – up from 18% currently. [page 37]<br />
• ObamaCare spends more than $828 Billion for healthcare coverage. (CMS did not analyze all tax increases, such taxes on Health Savings Accounts, Flexible Spending Accounts, etc.) [page 4]<br />
• The government will spend <strong>$410 Billion</strong> to expand Medicaid. [page 4]<br />
• Medicaid enrollment will increase by <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">20 Million new beneficiaries</span></strong>. [pages 3-4]<br />
• 14 Million people will lose their employer-sponsored health coverage. [pages 7-8]<br />
• 18 Million people will still be uninsured (excluding illegal immigrants). [page 8]<br />
• Fines on individuals and employers who do not purchase insurance <strong>will increase tax revenue</strong> by $120 Billion. [page 5]<br />
• 50% of seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage plans. [page 11] </em></p>
<p><em>• Doctors may drop out of Medicare because of the changes in Medicare reimbursement rates. [page 10]<br />
• Medicare “savings” outlined in the new law <strong>“face a significant risk of failure.”</strong> [page 15]</p>
<p>If your interested in reading the entire report for yourself just</em> <a title="http://sessions.houseenews.net/mail/util.cfm?mailaction=clickthru&amp;gpiv=2100057194.88014.383&amp;gen=1&amp;mailing_linkid=27858" href="http://sessions.houseenews.net/mail/util.cfm?mailaction=clickthru&amp;gpiv=2100057194.88014.383&amp;gen=1&amp;mailing_linkid=27858" target="_blank">Click Here to View the Full Report</a>  <em>(Thanks to Pete Sessions (R-Tx))</em></p>
<p><em>So, what does this all mean to you.  My personal problem is that we, as a nation, were lied to by what should be the three top leaders in our land.  Not just once, but over and over again from each of them.  This is what I find so very hard to accept.  Despite all their repeated promises, President Obama and the rest of the far left Liberal crew, have chosen to enact a healthcare law that will escalate healthcare costs, raise taxes dramatically in vain attempts to cover their losses, and cause many to loose what health insurance they have now.  All this, and probably much more we haven’t been made aware of, all because their prized political agenda is far more important to them then the American people they work for.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>We The People deserve better.  We deserve elected leaders that actually concern themselves with what is best for the people they serve.  Leaders that really listen to what we expect from them, and follow through on obtaining it for us.  We deserve the ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ promised us, as our right, by our founders.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Do not misunderstand the fact that I strongly agree that we need changes in our healthcare laws in order to better serve us all.  We need to make healthcare more readily available to all, and we need to be sure that it remains the best quality possible.  However, the last organization in the world I want to run this healthcare is the United States Government.  Frankly, I’d rather it were run by the original Three Stooges.  Point is there are other ways to do this, and those ways need to be considered while we still have the time.  This, of course, assumes we still do have the time.  Stay on the backs of your Congressmen and Senators.  Write the White House daily, if you can, or weekly if you don’t have that kind of time, but do not let up on them.  There are other bills waiting in the wings that will make this look like a walk in the park.  Do not let up.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong><em>Fire congress, and the President.  The rookies can do no worse!</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Our-trusted-media.jpg" title="Our trusted media" rel="lightbox[1453]"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1454" title="Our trusted media" src="http://moveonuponline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Our-trusted-media-300x227.jpg" alt="" width="478" height="346" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>Today I read an AP article that talked about the uselessness of the Tea Party movement in this country.  It was by the Washington political editor of the service.  As if that would be any surprise, in itself.  As I read the article, many things came to mind.  The Tea Party, the corruption in our government, and the corruption that has found its way into our media as well, just to list a few.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>We, as Americans, should be decidedly saddened that the media, once a gallant watch dog for the interests of the people of this country, have sunk to printing articles such as this, simply because they hold some kind of  perverted false loyalty to the Liberal wing in Washington.  One can only ask the question, ‘why?’  Exactly what have the Liberals done to deserve this, seemingly ‘puppy dog’ like loyalty? The vast majority if Americans would have great respect, as in the past, for a media that would report the news to us without their own slant, one way or another.  Tell us the truth, and let us, the people, make up our own mind.  We do not need them, or the government, telling us what we should think.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The article I’m speaking of came from an On-line source, and talked in great length of the minimal impact that the Tea Party movement has had on the leanings of the public toward politicians, and their abilities to be reelected in November.  It went on, and on, about the ‘fact’ that the Tea Party has done nothing to move along the Republican, or the Conservative, agendas as it was intended to do.  While this was the entire intent of the author of the article, he went on for nearly three pages to attempt to make his point.  The terrible part is that he missed the point altogether.  The Tea Party movement, while decidedly Conservative, is far less concerned about a party agenda, then it is about setting the record straight on who, exactly, works for who.  A notion that seems lost on both our congress and our President.</em></p>
<p><em> <span id="more-1453"></span></em></p>
<p><em>As I read, somewhere around the third or forth paragraph, the purpose of the writing became crystal clear.  It surely did not require three pages.  No, this was little more then &#8216;disinformation&#8217; being spread by one of the most Liberal of lapdogs, in an open, and blatant, attempt to reduce the actual impact of the Tea Party movement in this country.  A movement that has awakened a very significant number of voters to the open corruption in our nations capitol.  Strangely enough, at least to the articles author, would be the fact that these Tea Party members are not only Conservative Republicans, but they are made up of a noticeable  cross section of the population, regardless of party affiliation.  While Conservative Republicans do make up the majority, there are also Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, and oddly enough, even a few Liberals have come to realize that what is going on in Washington needs corrected.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The important point is that all of them have realized that the corruption in politics has reached epidemic proportions.  They have also realized the fact that this corruption, not only reaches to the very top of the tree, but is being spread from that point far more then any other source, including Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.  Even they are beginning to realize that the three most powerful people in this country seem to be doing everything they can to destroy the country.   </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>From their seats of influence they have taken over industry in our country.  A first in this capitalist nation.  They have wastefully spent more money, that we do not have, in the first year then all previous Administrations combined.  Combined!!  With what result?  This country, thanks to this administration, owes so much money to other countries that it is now impossible, according to many experts, to pay it off within the next eight to ten generations.  And, only then if the country reduces spending by at least 50%.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>They have forced upon this country a health care bill that has ramifications we can only guess at.  The one thing that is not a guess, where this bill is concerned, is the cost.  My best understanding of this is that it will cost this country approximately $10,000,000,000,000.00 in order to insure less then 5% of our population.  Much less then that if  you remove the illegal aliens from the mix.  My goodness!!!  That’s $ONE TRILLION per 0.5% of the population.  I really think I could find them a cheaper insurance company if I really set my mind to it.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>These are only a few of the reason all of this wide variety of political views are coming together for the good of the country we all love.  Do they have an impact?  You bet they do!  They are impacting elections that will occur between now and the one we all are looking forward to in November.  They are reaching many of the politicians that are considering running, and many that hope for reelection.  They are even having an impact in Washington where new legislation is being much more carefully considered then it has been in many years.  They are seeing positive results in what it took Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid, not to mention the President to get the health care bill passed.  Never have they had to put so much on the line for a single bill. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>So, with the impact they have already had, and the influence available to them, what do they do now?  Now it is time that the people of this country realize the fact that those in Washington work for us.  Not the other way around.  That those we elect, are elected to support OUR wishes, not their own agenda.  The real intent of the entire Tea Party movement is to remind the population that we have, not only, the right, but the responsibility, to change what is wrong.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>This can, and must, be done in a forceful, yet a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">completely non-violent</span></strong> manor.  They need to make their case where ever there are people to listen.  This includes the lawmakers they send, and have sent, to Washington.  They need to understand that We The People will never forget what they have done, either to us or for us.  They need to improve their numbers, but also their message.  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>There are only seven months left to us, and we must see to it that the November election makes a statement that will not only be heard, but, <strong>one that will be remembered as long as we wish to be free.</strong></em></p>
