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!

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!

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!
