Not "By The People" anymore...

It's more like, Congress will determine what is best "For The People" without our voice being heard. Or at least I hope it was heard, it seems it was just not a part of the decision making process in regards to the health care reform that they are forcing on us this weekend.

You all have heard that the majority of Americans don't want this..... I can think of so many reasons and maybe the most important has nothing to do with doctors, nurses, insurance companies or patients..... We're BROKE !! And this is going to cost OVER 1 trillion dollars over 10 years for only 6 years of benefits. What happens after the 10 years is up...... think about it.

I feel very helpless in this world at the moment. Our fate is being decided by congressional members that do not even have to answer to my state. It's March 20, there is about 4 inches of snow on the ground in Kansas, and this winter has such a tight hold on me that I feel compressed and in a way silenced and meaningless.

I have a job, good health, great family, a home, a wonderful wife and I live in America....

Why does that last one seem less important today..... it didn't have to be like this.

Something is not right here....... one of these things is not like the other ?

Always...

.

Sometimes music expresses your mood better than words....

To the people I love....

Dreams will all come true
Being here with you
And time will fly
Caring each day more
Than the day before
Till spring rolls by
And when the springtime has gone
Will my love linger on

'Cause I'll be loving you... Always
With a love that's true... Always
When the things that you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand
Always, always

Days may not be fair... Always
But that's when I'll be there... Always
Not for just an hour
No, no, not for just a day
Not for just a year
Oh but always

Days may not be fair... Always
But that's when I'll be there... Always
Not for just an hour
No, no, not for just a day
Not for just a year
Oh but always

Until forever is through
Until there's just me and you.......Always

Never Before...

Never before has congress steamrolled legislation that completely goes against the will of the American people. The current congress is doing that right now on so many fronts that our heads should be spinning. From Health care to Cap and Trade, these people are ignoring the common will of the people in a power grab hidden as "the right thing to do" is making me sick.

All so the president can have a topic for the State of the Union heading in to the 2010 mid term elections. If he does not have health care, what does he have? Nothing. War is raging and he is doing the raging. The economy is pathetic with 10% unemployed and no real turn around in sight. Iran has not been stopped and no President Obama has NOT sat down for direct talks as he promised he would do. Spending is so out of control that my grandchildren will not be able to pay our debts. The dollar is in danger of collapsing and we basically owe China so much, perhaps they should have a seat in congress.

2010 should be a good election for Conservatives but will it be enough? Will it be too late?

Seriously ?

Is this government on the right track... anybody?

Our country's debt is growing at a pace that has never been seen, and the congress and President want to KEEP spending ? Imagine you and I doing that in our household. Congress, along with former President GW Bush and current President Obama, continue rolling out new bills, new policies, new "reforms" while seemingly ignoring the bottom line. Gold is at an all time high, and the dollar at an all time LOW. Last week Obama said they have "brought back the economy from the brink" Seriously ?

Unemployment is over 10%... actual unemployed number is closer to 20% if you count those that no longer qualify for unemployment or have stopped looking. That means 1 in 5 people eligible for work, are NOT working. The stimulus funding has really had no impact. Not even IF you believe the info on recovery.gov, we are still in deep trouble. But the government can't even get that website task right, that web site had bogus jobs credited, numbers not adding up and congressional districts listed that DON'T EVEN EXIST.... and they want to run health care for us ? Seriously ?

The media continues to ignore real problems our country is facing and concentrates it's time on degrading and insulting Sarah Palin, and slamming "teabaggers" with obscene references that most of the country has never heard used like that before. Is all of that more important than a country going broke and our lenders are now having second thoughts about loaning MORE to us? Seriously ?

Now they bring 911 planners and other terrorist to New York for trial ? First thing that comes to the "common sense" mind is... what about Miranda right ? These terrorist were not read their rights before arrest. That is a foundation of our criminal and court systems. Many things could happen and both are bad. They could ask that charges be dropped for that reason and the judge can either agree and they are FREE to go, OR they move on any way and they are convicted without full rights then a new precedent is set. You and I could be arrested without knowing our rights up front... Or even worse they begin to use "world" court laws and rules... then there is a whole new set of precedents to be set there. Seriously ?

Now is the time for all of us to stand up ! Be informed, ask questions, speak your mind! Now is the time. Seriously.

I encourage you all to regularly visit this site... read the postings, watch the videos and learn what is happening while most of us sit and watch the media cover things like the balloon boy.

Go - The 912 Project

See - The words of Thomas Jefferson

Enough is enough !!

100 Days in and President Obama is still campaigning--
In his "town hall" from Missouri today the President of the United States talked like it was September of 2008. Dude, you have the office, you ARE President of the greatest country in the world, the United States of America. For you to poke fun at a major cable network with millions of loyal viewers shows me that you do not respect the office you were elected to, or millions of cable viewers.

Am I surprised... nope. After all, this is the man that had no idea what Air Force One was doing Monday morning when it did an ill advised flyover of NYC trailed by F-15 fighter jets for a PHOTO OP? And you try to tell us you did not know?

Back to the town hall... and right after the slam on Fox News Channel, he made light of people like ME out "waving teabags around"



This again shows no respect for the slightly less than half of the country that did NOT vote for him last November. I expect more from our President, regardless of party. What does that do to encourage a "work together" atmosphere? He says that he is remaking America and that I don't doubt. If remaking includes government owned and operated car companies, banks and other businesses than yes, I too hope he FAILS. Did Democrats want Bush to succeed?

I hope and pray that America wakes up and realizes the direction we are speeding down like a runaway train... in 2010, there needs to be a message delivered. 2010 needs to be a cleaning house election for people from both sides.

Specter Switch--
Senator Specter switched parties to retain his power, NOT for the people he represents. He switched because he was going to LOSE the Republican Primary in 2010. If his state has any interest in honesty and if they believe in the "For The People By The People" idea, they will not elect him when he runs again for any party. In March of this year he was quoted as saying he would not change parties, then a month later he went back on his word. The Democrats can keep him, he is their kind of man.

Please folks, be involved and be informed. Do your part, we can make a difference or we can always wish we had...
