Are there any Americans left in congress?

This is an open letter to our elected representatives in Washington, both in the Senate and in the House of Represenatives.

I am a 74 year old retiree and have observed you through the years and hope and believe that there are some honorable persons that have been elected to congress by the people of America. I also hope and believe that you are a strong supporter of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights as your sworn oath of office dictates.

The problem that I have, along with most of my friends and acquaintances,(both young and old) is that the Obama White House has an obvious but hidden agenda that is catapulting America into a Socialist, even Marxist state, and this is contrary to his sworn duty as President. This observation is not taken frivolously and is borne out by listening to Obama's own words presently and over the years and also by noting that many of his appointed czars have open Marxist goals. These are Goals that will quickly destroy this great Country, these are Goals that have placed our sacred Constitution under attack.

So many American men and women have sacrificed their time and lives and continue to do so today, to preserve our Constitutional freedoms, and now we are faced with a President that has opted to ignore these sacrifices and is actively pursuing a plan that ignores the Constitution and will destroy America and give our sovereignty away in the name of globalization.

I believe that it is you our elected congressman and congresswomen that need to challenge the President and redirect him to our Constitution which he seems to have forever found to be a deeply flawed document.

The point is that, I am surprised that you our elected representatives can sit by and continue to be mute, as you watch and listen and then allow this great country to be assailed without action or comment. Why?!

Strangers to Dissent, Liberals Try to Stifle It
A Commentary By Michael Barone
Monday, September 21, 2009 Email to a Friend ShareThisAdvertisement
It is an interesting phenomenon that the response of the left half of our political spectrum to criticism and argument is often to try to shut it down. Thus President Obama in his Sept. 9 speech to a joint session of Congress told us to stop "bickering," as if principled objections to major changes in public policy were just childish obstinacy, and chastised his critics for telling "lies," employing "scare tactics" and playing "games." Unlike his predecessor, he sought to use the prestige of his office to shut criticism down.

Now, no one likes criticism very much, and most politicians would prefer to have their colleagues and constituents meekly and gratefully agree with them on pretty much everything. And yes, Rep. Joe Wilson did seem to have broken the rules and standards of decorum of the House (though not of the British House of Commons) when he shouted, "You lie!" in the middle of Obama's speech.

But none of this justifies the charges, passed off as cool-headed analysis, that Obama's critics are motivated by racism. There are plenty of non-racist reasons to oppose (or to support) the Democrats' health care proposals.

I would submit that the president's call for an end to "bickering" and the charges of racism by some of his supporters are the natural reflex of people who are not used to hearing people disagree with them and who are determined to shut them up.

This comes naturally to liberals educated in our great colleges and universities, so many of which have speech codes whose primary aim is to prevent the expression of certain conservative ideas and which are commonly deployed for that purpose. (For examples, see the Website of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which defends students of all political stripes.) Once the haven of free inquiry and expression, academia has become a swamp of stifling political correctness.

Similarly, the "mainstream media" -- the old-line broadcast networks, The New York Times, etc. -- present a politically correct picture of the world. The result is that liberals can live in a cocoon, an America in which seldom is heard a discouraging word. Conservatives, in contrast, find themselves constantly pummeled with liberal criticism, on campus, in news media, and in Hollywood TV and movies. They don't like it, but they've gotten used to it. Liberals aren't used to it and increasingly try to stamp it out.

"Mainstream media" try to help. In the past few weeks, we have seen textbook examples of how MSM have ignored news stories that reflected badly on the administration for which it has such warm feelings. It ignored the videos in which the White House "green jobs czar" proclaimed himself a "communist" and the "truther" petition he signed charging that George W. Bush may have allowed the Sept. 11 attacks.

It ignored the videos released on Andrew Breitbart's biggovernment.com showing ACORN employees offering to help a supposed pimp and prostitute evade taxes and employ 13- to 15-year-old prostitutes. It downplayed last spring's Tea Parties -- locally organized demonstrations against big government that attracted about a million people nationwide -- and downplayed the Tea Party throng at the Capitol and on the Mall Sept. 12.

Actually, "mainstream media" are doing their friends in the Obama administration and the Democratic Party no favors, at least in the long run. Obama comes from one-party Chicago, and the House Democrats' nine top leadership members and committee chairmen come from districts that voted on average 73 percent for Obama last fall. They need help in understanding the larger country they are seeking to govern, where nearly half voted the other way. Instead, they get the impression they can dismiss critics as racist or "Nazis" or as indulging in (as Sen. Harry Reid said) "evil-mongering."

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has warned us that there's a danger that intense rhetoric can provoke violence, and no decent person wants to see harm come to our president or other leaders. But it's interesting that the two most violent incidents at this summer's town hall meetings came when a union thug beat up a 65-year-old black conservative in Missouri and when a liberal protester bit off part of a man's finger in California.

These incidents don't justify a conclusion that all liberals are violent. But they are more evidence that American liberals, unused to hearing dissent, have an impulse to shut it down.

The end of the America we knew and loved

I find the silence of most of the media utterly amazing when it comes to recognizing the unconstitutional government take over and interference with private enterprise. The case in point that most clearly exposes this evil is the unilateral closing (by the Federal Government) of thousands of Chrysler and GM dealerships across the country. Many of these dealerships were family run small businesses that had been operating for generations and many were profitable.

Just think for a moment that "you" own a business and the business has been a successful family business for generations and suddenly the Federal Government unilaterally decides that you are no longer viable so we are closing you down. This is an arrogant, unprecidented intrusion and attack on the private sector beyond believe. This is what happened on a given day in June 2009. This is undisguised Marxism.

This Obama policy is not only on the attack in the Auto Industry but also the Banking, Insurance and soon the Health Care industries. You are seeing the biggest government power grab in the history of the country.

Hopefully folks that truly love America will become involved and at a minimum they will notify their repesentatives that enougn is enough.

I have great hopes that these policies will be turned on their heads when they are challenged in court and then followed by ejecting these buffoons from elected office.

PLEASE STOP PAYINGFOR OUR DEBT

To whom it May concern:



This is a plea made in earnest to the Republic of China, Japan, Russia, Germany, France and all other countrys of the world that have for years purchased the debt of the United States of America.

The tax payers of America, plead with you to STOP BUYING our debt! We can no longer afford to borrow money and to be sure those who continue to invest in our debt will be fortunate to be repaid.

The trillions of dollars that our government is spending (and printing) will inevitably bankrupt America and without question we will experience hyper inflation which will further exacerbate the posssiblity of repayment.

It is time for all to say NO and it is time for our government to recognize that the continued growth in government spending will only make matters worse.

From the Tax Paying Citizens of America:
Please forward this to everyone that you can.

OBAMA'S TOY RAILROAD

OBAMAS TOY RAILROAD

Well my concern today goes to the OBAMA. PELOSI and RIED push for a light rail connection between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Why not begin with a quick look at AMTRAK. AMTRAK was the Federalization of the Railroads on May 1, 1971 and during the past 38 years has never turned a profit and has depended on government subsidies every single year starting in 1971 with a measly 40 Million dollars in cash and another 100 Million dollars in loans to get the farce rolling. Today the federal budget calls for AMTRAK subsidies of 2.8 Billion dollars per year through 2013 or a total of $13 Billion dollars. This is still chicken feed compared to what OBAMA. PELOSI, and RIED are proposing for California and Nevada. The initial expenditure is off the charts and on top of that the Feds will be creating a requirement for a huge perpetual subsidy which will make the 2.8 billion that we are now spending on AMTRAK look like pin money.

Oh by the way this also sets up another government owned and subsidized enterprise directly competing with presently profitable free market air line companies that already service the Los Angeles to Los Vegas route.

The Los Angeles to Las Vegas route is only the tip of the iceberg, Obama has plans for light rail that includes cities across America. The proposed down payment is 8 Billion with another Billion per year over the next 5 years and of course has any government run project ever, ever, ever, come under budget? Obama has professed that government investments in our yields great dividends. What, pray tell, are these dividends?

There was no upside to the original nationalization of the railroads and there is no upside to this!

Tea Party Editorial

This is a commentary that is right on the mark as to what the Tea Parties are all about. This is an indication of how deep the feelings run throuhgout Americaand it exposes the lies put forth so called main stream media and the Washington politicos.

We are a Christian Nation

It occurred in Turkey when the President proclaimed that America is NOT a Christian Country. As I recall this President, like ALL of America’s Presidents that have preceeded him, placed his hand on a CHRISTIAN BIBLE when he was sworn in by the oath of office. It appears to me that he can now be labeled as an insincere hypocrite.

Think for a moment, seriously think, and ask yourself what it means when our President essentially indicates that he is not morally and religiously bound by these Christian Judeo principles and beliefs. Ask yourself, what it is that, this President uses for a guiding compass. Does this President have a moral compass?

It is beyond any doubt that our nation was born, and the constitution and the bill of rights grew out of Judeo Christian principles and beliefs and that fact can not and shall not ever be diminished especially by our President. Do you think that for our President to shun this basic tenet of our Nations Founding Father’s, may be tantamount to treason?

CYBERSECURITY ACT OF 2009

Do you want Barack Hussein Obama and his cronies to have the power to
SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET?

Dear Friend of the Constitution,

That's EXACTLY what's about to happen, if Congress passes two new bills... Unless YOU help to stop them!

According to news reports, two new Senate bills -- S. 773 and S. 778 -- "would grant the White House sweeping new powers to access private online data, regulate the cybersecurity industry and even shut down Internet traffic during a declared 'cyber emergency.'"

These two new bills are both part of what's being called the "Cybersecurity Act of 2009."The Act would create a new bureaucracy, the "Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor,"which would be charged with "defending the country from cyber attack"... and would report directly to Barack Obama.

But that's not all it would do: it would also grant the Secretary of Commerce access to all privately owned information networks deemed to be "critical"to the nation's infrastructure, "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access."

Did you read that? The Secretary of Commerce, reporting directly to Mr. Obama, would be able to snoop through ANYTHING connected to the Internet that a President decides is "critical"to look at. And it doesn't matter what the law says -- they get to do this whenever and wherever a President wants them to.

Talk about UNCONSTITUTIONAL! We MUST NOT let Barack Obama's cronies in Congress get away with this!

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution states:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

It's clear: giving the U.S. Department of Commerce oversight of the "critical" networks -- like banking records -- would give the federal government access to confidential, private information obtained without cause or warrant, which is a CLEAR violation of the U.S. Constitution's prohibition against unlawful search and seizure!

What exactly are these "critical infrastructure networks"that Barack Obama would have the power to "take offline"whenever he wants to? The examples they give are things like "banking, utilities, air/rail/auto traffic control, and telecommunications."

WHAT??? Exactly HOW do you take the telecommunications networks off of the Internet, when that's what the Internet is comprised of? And if YOUR bank gets taken offline, don't you think you might go into your branch and ask for all of your deposits in cash? Don't you think EVERYONE might do that?


TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
GIVING BARACK OBAMA TOTAL CONTROL OF THE INTERNET!



According to one Senate document that attempts to "explain"the bills, this Act "addresses our country's unacceptable vulnerability to massive cyber crime, global cyber espionage and cyber attacks that could cripple our critical infrastructure."

In a statement explaining the bill's introduction, liberal Democratic West Virginia U. S. Senator Jay Rockefeller said, "We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs -- from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records -- the list goes on."

Senator Olympia Snowe, a liberal Republican from Maine who is co-sponsoring the bill, gave us this dire warning: "If we fail to take swift action, we, regrettably, risk a cyber-Katrina."

In other words, we need to give up our freedoms and liberties in order for the government to give us "security."

What was it that Benjamin Franklin once said? "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

WE MUST NOT GIVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THESE ABSOLUTE POWERS!

Why would anyone push such a bill? Two reasons: power and money.

The far-left Democrats who now control our government are willing to stop at nothing to give themselves more and more and more power, as well as control over our private lives! And they're backed by law enforcement and people in the security industry who want to ensure more government dollars go to them.



BUT... we have to act QUICKLY! BOTH of these bills have already been read twice and have been referred to committee in the Senate! SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!

Don't let Barack Obama get away with this power grab -- let's take action right away!

P.S. These new bills would give a President "emergency authority"to halt web traffic and access private data -- in other words, to shut down the Internet and snoop into YOUR computer. We CANNOT let Congress give anyone this kind of dictatorial power! Send your faxes NOW!


TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT
GIVING BARACK OBAMA TOTAL CONTROL OF THE INTERNET!

Open letter to the President and the Congress of the United States

April 19, 2009



In less than 100 days you have stirred the hearts and souls of America.

This is evidenced by the huge turn out by 10’s of thousands of Americans from every walk of life that invested their precious time to attend a rally in their community, to send a message to Washington. The Americans, that attended the April 15th Tea Party’s, which occurred across America in hundreds of cities were sending the government a message loud and clear, but sadly in my opinion the government is not listening. This was a momentous event in America and unfortunately you have chosen to pan the events when you should have been listening. You have served to awaken America to the true meaning and importance of a free society. Yes ndeed, you have stirred the hearts and souls of America to awaken them to a clear understanding as to how quickly our Constitution can be trashed.

The importance of these gatherings rests in the peaceful and hopeful folks that love America and are universally sick and tired of having their Freedoms being rapidly eroded, Freedoms that have been endowed upon them through our great Constitution and Bill of Rights, . These great Americans have finally spoken in a loud and clear voice, universally saying “enough is enough”. This is just the beginning and eventually you will hear our voices.

American’s do not want stimulus, they do not want bailouts, they do not want internationalization, they do not want socialized medicine, they do not want carbon caps, they do not want higher taxes, they do not want the death tax , they do not want an international banking system, they do not want government to interfere with private enterprise, they do not want government interfering in our private lives and they do not want the government printing money!

As of this time Americans would like to know under what authority the Treasury printed Trillions of dollars and most importantly where did it go. That is to ask who received the cash. Your administration was supposed to be transparent. Is congress and the executive branch so ignorant and out of touch with the citizens that they believe the citizens do not care? Your unabashed arrogance belies the FACT THAT YOU WORK FOR US!

The 2010 mid term elections are going to send a message to Washington that will resonate for years to come, that is, unless Washington wakes up. Fat chance!
