Somebody sent me that old note about Gubmint Operations.
...hire a Watchman; build an admin bureaucracy; fire the Watchman.

My response follows

YO!

 

My soapbox:..... Politicians are just watchmen!

Then,

 

Eliminate Useless Gov’t Agencies

·       Dept. of Energy ... created 35+ years ago to assure our independence

fr   from oil

·       Dept. of Education.... attempting to do a State level job.... would you like to have someone in Wash DC order for you at a restaurant?

·       EPA .... has done more to block prosperity than he State Dept.

Privatize the Postal service...

·       STOP delivering service for 11-15c that costs 37c to provide

·       Use the proceeds,  including a multitude of real estate to pay down the debt

·       Use royalties for UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. to reduce the deficit...

o   ASSUMING there is a parallel CAP ON SPENDING

o   Else “THEY” will just squander them.

What do you think?

To Obama & Team

PLEASE STOP INSULTING ME

Every DAY YOU find a new way to insult Americans and show your disdain for our Country. STOP IT!

• Your gibberish might work on ACORN agents but NOT me!

• With an Operating budget over 3 TRILLION$ ($3,000,000,000,000) you turn around and seek credit because you asked your Cabinet to find 100 milllion$ to”save”….that’s 0.003%…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• Most of that was already identified, making your “challenge” empty…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• The “size” of your challenge, even if it required all new finding, is equivalent to asking a family with $60,000 annual income to save about $2 for the year…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• Don’t blame your budget on somebody else…you did NOT “inherit” it
• True, a lot is committed to “entitlements”, but your team ginned up a budget that is 8+% more than last year; a bigger INCREASE by 4% than ever before (well, maybe not WW II ) …..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• That budget is based on hokey, aggressive, unwarranted, incredible, forecasts for the economy; even refuted by the Congressional Budget Office. …..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• YOU are the guy who said
• I am the one in charge
• I have final responsibility
• SO….do something credible; stop blaming others…cut 4%
• …..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• Tell your buddy Timothy to quit pushing his Statist, Socialist agenda
• When asked if he would allow a bank to pay off its TARP loan he wouldn’t answer. He injected that it will depend on the health of the entire Banking System…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• Next I suppose I won’t be able to pay off MY mortgage because… it will depend on the health of the entire Banking System…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• Or, I can’t pay MY Credit Card bill to avoid 24% interest because… it will depend on the health of the entire Banking System…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?

• Stop the games with prior administration’s actions
• 1^st you release legal opinions and say those who followed orders will not be prosecuted
• Then you turn loose Emmanuel to investigate the Legal Advisors who created the opinions those orders were based on…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• What’s next?…When my Lawyer tells me to do “A”, he will be investigated and charged if you don’t like it?
• Or…will we hear that Ms Pelosi and others who heard those opinions and did not object are not complicit and will be given a free pass…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
•  Stop the games with FALSE accounting claims
• Don’t tell me you are saving TRILLIONS by avoiding spending which has already stopped anyway…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• Look…I decided
• NOT to buy that new 40 ft boat
• NOT to buy that 10,000 sq ft house in Boca
• NOT to buy a share in a Biz Jet
• I deserve a big Tax Credit for being responsible, but I know…my FAILURE to over-commit is “not healthy for the system” so I’ll be labeled anti-government…..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?
• Fire Napolitano
• Her buck stops with you too
• She took 10 pages to say in excruciating detail what Bush said in about six words..You’re with us or against us
• Except Bush was talking to terrorists and the Napolitano gang was talking to Americans. …..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE KIDDING?

Standby…tomorrow is a whole new day

CALL PRESIDENT OBAMA, 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414 expressing your disdain and ABSOLUTE REJECTION of his completely unacceptable budget

I Wish...I wish...

We can get a TRILLION citizens to each tell their "Public Servants"
that Nationalized Health Care is NOT ok!

In fact, they (public servants) have two choices:

• Vote themselves OUT of their current plan and into Medicare like the rest of us
• ....or....start packing their files because WE will VOTE THEM OUT ! !
  

Help get this moving....and let them hear from ALL Citizens

The following was created by a dear friend and Patriot, I B Marshall.
He allowed me the privilege of "nitpicking" and adding a few thoughts

Please share it with YOUR Reps and ALL those you Care about

I sent it to both of my Senators and to my Congressman.

Please share it....widely

Open letter to all Congressmen and Senators… We need your help and action. NOW!!

Dear Congressman and Senators:

Please share this with your colleagues in both Houses.

Better yet, Read it on the floor to be sure most have heard it...then enter it in the Register.

Save the United States from Financial Ruin

The Congress is now ready to make many serious decisions that will cause corporations to leave the country and our financial system to be destroyed. These pitfalls must be avoided.

**Debt:  

Stop the spending. We cannot tolerate the Obama rate of debt. You must start reducing the size of Government. Eliminate the Departments of Energy and Education for starters and give the responsibility and money to the states, do the same in other areas. Privatize Amtrak, the Post Office and all schools. Cut welfare, eliminate foreign donations, drop out of the United Nations, tell NATO we will no longer participate in NATO until they increase their military to a point they would be able assist the U.S in a confrontation, reduce all other spending by 10% or until the budget is below 3 trillion dollars for 2009,2010 and 2011. Stabilize Medicare and Social Security.

If you need help give me a call.

**Amnesty:

Stop the nonsense and secure our borders and stop all federal benefits for illegal immigrants. Create a bill that will provide for temporary workers with a serious background and health check and will insure they do not stay longer than 9 months and they return to their homeland. And will identify them in a very secure manner at all times. Now just enforce EXISTING law!

**AIG:

Stop the lying by Chris Dodd, Obama, Tim Geithner and others. Stand up and be counted. They should all be impeached for Malfeasance of Fiduciary duties. Their modus operandi is simple… Create a giant mess and then pretend to fix it: while gouging taxpayers evermore.

**Obama:

You must do something to stop him from total destruction. If he continues at the rate he is presently making changes he will cause many people to loose their jobs, be killed by terrorist, and destroy the job base of the United States. You must act to stop him; YOU MUST ACT! He is in way over his head and has no other leadership to guide him only Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Dodd and Barney Franks and they are busy creating more problems as leaders in our banking system while they receive money from the people they regulate and have over sight responsibility. And cut off the funding of ACORN. I also feel there is justification to impeach Obama as he is neglecting his duty to protect the American people from terrorism as in the past. Act before a couple hundred thousand people are killed.

**Taxing Corporations:

This is getting out of control, the US government has no business running companies and firing corporate leaders. The Board of GM should sue Obama for interfering in Corporate Governance. This appears unconstitutional! The Congress has not been able to run Medicare, Social Security, AMTRAK, or keep the Post Office, a whorehouse or even the Senate Cafeteria profitable. The biggest threat to the economy is the U. S. Congress. 

**Tax increases:

Carbon Tax, Corporate tax, individual tax, State Tax. You have gone tax and spend crazy and because of the Obama Policies we will see many of our best profitable corporations and employers leave the United States to a more government friendly nation. And the ones that do stay will be those being propped up by the federal government. Plus, you are driving investments off shore and capital will not be available in the United States. Enact the Fair Tax quickly and cut the corporate tax big time.

**Health Care:

We do not need health care. If you stop and think, you cannot determine anyone that does not have access to health care. We are presently even providing free health care to those that are here illegally. This is only a political ploy. In the end it will be a complete disaster for everyone. We certainly do not have the money to do it now. If a new system is adopted we will insist that ALL government workers only receive that system as well as ALL Congressmen and Senators. Look at what happened to Natasha Richardson in Canada, they had to rush her to New York. If they could have treated her she would have lived. Spend your time fixing Medicare and Social Security; you have enough problems.

**Daily Destruction:

Everyday things get worse and more problems are discovered and being created by Obama and his side kicks… as if we do not have enough problems already. Why bring terrorist from GITMO when we have enough problems in the United States. The first rule is when you discover you are digging in the wrong place.. STOP DIGGING! Take the shovel away form Obama!

**Term Limits:

… Sorry Guys. We don’t see On-the-job-retirement as fit Public Service. Don’t tell us we already have Term Limits called elections. Elections have not worked. Too many of you have bought your votes on our backs. Two terms is long enough for anybody.. And one last Item that seems unsettled. Is Obama a citizen? No one seems to want to come forward and prove that point! Why?

Please provide your written response, stating your position, on each of these points. If you need help let us know! But either lead or get the hell out of the way!

Sincerely,

THIS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, YOUR CHILDREN, AND EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT!

Soon, Congress will begin voting on President Obama's budget. It's a big test not only for President Obama, but for our entire Country .
I oppose that budget which is bloated and completely ignores quick, efficient actions.

We are in the grips of the worst economic crisis in generations — and President Obama has presented a budget which will make the situation much worse.
He has proposed a budget that is bloated beyond anything ever presented to Congress. His argument that SPENDING $$$ gives greater returns and growth is simply wrong. If it were true, the budget should be $100 TRILLION or more..Why not?  More Spending gives higher gains.
FALSE!
The Japanese found that out in spades!

His priorities are intellectually ok in some cases but untimely and naive in most..

•  Renewable energy to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil is a good goal but his approach is to exclude easy, short term actions in favor of longer more costly answers. The Pareto Principle inside out…20% of the benefit for 80% of expenditure.
•  Making Health Care more affordable for every American by cutting costs. What we really need is to STOP giving benefits to illegals .
•  Improving education so our children are prepared for the jobs of the 21st Century. True, but that is a twenty year deal. We need help TODAY
•  And that help is REDUCED SPENDING…freeze ALL discretionary spending NOW !
  

I saw the "Alternative Budget" put forth by the GOP and I almost threw up!
Are you on Obama's team?
There is virtually no difference!
That is just UNACCEPTABLE!

If I don't see some real support soon. I'll be forced to look for a new Party.

In the meantime, here are two links that one of your staff can look into:

http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741

The first is loaded with data from the Peterson Foundation which states that our Total Debt exceeds 56TRILLION$ and is growing.
If you can't access it via copy-paste, let me know some other way to send you this important info.

The second link is a lighter, but in many ways deeper, appeal for YOU and the GOP to STANDUP for AMERICA.

Please provide a reply with your thoughts and proposed actions about this note.

In just 24 hours, Congress will begin voting on President Obama's budget. It's a big test not only for President Obama, but for our entire Country . If You would just take a few minutes to call Congress now you could make a major impact on this crucial vote.

Will you PLEASE call your elected representatives to let them know you oppose a budget that that is bloated and completely ignores quick, efficient actions.

You can use the contacts below.

How ridiculous can you get.

The Dems that stand and try to defend it are just

doing an obummer…."we didn’t do it…we got it from obummer."

Look, $3.6TRILLION is a giant jump from last year.

And obummer is breaking his promise to go line by line and kill

everything that is ineffective or not in the National Interest.

So much for “Words have Meaning”.

Call or write your representatives and tell them NO on Health reform.

Do you want a US case of Natasha Richardson “Cost-Effective” care?

Tell your reps NO to Cap-Trade. That is an untimely tax on EVERYBODY.

If you turn on your TV or lights or shower or stove or dishwasher or clotheswasher

Or if you open your garage door and drive to work, YOU WILL PAY

There goes your $13/week tax cut.

Tell obamma to live up to his promises…..

“I am in charge”……”the buck stops here”

SO, quit blaming everybody else and take at least $1 TRILLION out of that budget.

…remember….I will go thru the budget line by line and kill everything that is ineffective or not in the National interest..

Tell obamma he wrecked our National Balance sheet much worse than the Big 3 combined. Instead of firing Waggoner, he should fire Dodd, Frank and obamma.

Finally he says “Words have Meaning”

…unfortunately the “meaning” he means is HIS meaning.

Well, here’s a new meaning for the tried and true OMG.

The new meaning is Obama Must Go!

I urge you to oppose the outlandish and irresponsible spending in the fiscal 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act, H.R. 1105. Vote NO on this! It will cost taxpayers $410 billion and represents an 8 percent increase from fiscal 2008 levels. Reports indicate there are about 8750 earmarks at a cost of almost $8.0 billion. Combined with the "stimulus" package that was passed just over two weeks ago, total expenditures for some agencies represent an 80 percent increase in spending for fiscal 2009. 

The mammoth bill is fattened with pork, including such outrageous items as $1.9 million for the Pleasure Beach water taxi in Connecticut, the "water taxi to nowhere"; $1.8 million to conduct research in Iowa on "swine odor and manure management"; and $380,000 for the construction of a recreation and fairground area in Kotzebue, Alaska.

You and your colleagues in Congress need to recognize the fiscal reality of our nation's projected $1.75 trillion deficit. This is not the time to lard up the Omnibus Appropriations Act with parochial spending items and saddle this and future generations of taxpayers with more debt. 

In Fact I have proposed that in these tough times   Congress cut their pay.

Share the Pain.

First, the $8.0 Billion MUST GO…COMPLETELY.

If you want to see who’s porking and how much, check out

Taxpayers for Common Sense

That leaves $402 Billion. A 10% reduction in that is not asking too much.

It amounts to

• Holding the line at last year’s level
• A MODEST reduction of 2% to recognize today’s situation.

I believe that ANY politician who does not support such modest restraint is totally unworthy of his job and should be impeached for malfeasance of office.

I call on you to reject this bloated bill. Demonstrate to Americans that you can exercise fiscal restraint and live up to the responsibility of your office to use our taxpayer dollars wisely.

Which of you has the integrity and fortitude to introduce these restraints to your colleagues?

Of course, it’s your call. But we ARE watching!

Why is it the ONLY move bureaucrats know is more spending?

When you or I lose our retirement savings or job,

we have to find ways to cut back, reduce spending.

 I want to start a massive national campaign

to have ALL politicians, servants of the people, join us in our pain.

 Spending MUST be reduced...starting with

1. a salary cut of 50%,  or to $150k Max, whichever is LESS  

2. I think the 50% covers everybody except the Pres.

 The servants should not be richer than the owners!

 They can earn their riches back.

They can then have a pay raise equal to the 0.5% of

reduction in our (National Debt + Unfunded Liabilities = TOTAL Debt)

...eh?,

......

How can we make that happen?

YOU can make it happen.

Write to you Representative and Senators and tell them

to quell the stench from Washington.

Here is a link.....so you can call, fax, or email them

Just so they can know what a coward we have posing as the President

January 17, 2009

Mr. B Obama

The White House,
District of Columbia 20500

 

Mr. Obama,

You are at the crossroads of a historical milestone in American history. Why hang a black cloud over Our Presidency and you personally; everything thing you do; every breath you take. In that cloud is a heavy sword, the sword of your eligibility.

But, I don’t have to brief you on the controversy surrounding your eligibility to be my President. Neither do I want to escalate or elevate the issue to legal machinations as you have chosen to do.

This letter is to you from me, man-to-man.

In virtually no time and with almost no effort YOU can settle the issue.

 Please:

• Authorize any and all authorities, as needed, to make your birth records public.
• Come clean with me about your life in Indonesia; specifically were you ever, through your effort or others, a Citizen of Indonesia and did you ever refute such Citizenship.
• Explain how you managed to visit Pakistan in 1981(?) when US Citizens were banned

In short, live up to your campaign promises of Open, Transparent, and Unified Government.  We need armies of lawyers freeing up your background, not mucking it up.

The hope of our Founding Fathers did not include a hoax on our Presidency. What will your legacy be…Bad Barack or Honest Obama? What will YOU leave to the children of America?

Regardless of any differences we might have on issues, there is no hope for rational debate if you invade the Office of the President a fraud.

With your eligibility clearly established, I will support you as I have all other Presidents in my life; starting with Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

I’m doing my part. Will you do yours? Don’t spoil it. Be Everybody’s President.

Trusting that you ARE honorable, sincere, and forthright, I look forward to your reply.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Stimulus Whipped Cream

I sent this to Sens Graham and DeMint

Please send it to your Senators too.

Immediately...NOW.

Thank you for helping to save America

You probably already know where this is headed.

So I will challenge you now to share this with everyone of your colleagues.

Put it in the Record!

 

But, seriously….STOP!

VOTE NO!

 

I know, screamers owe a plan; what to do.

We’ll get to that.

But First…..

• Regardless of TV Hype, this is NOT Obama’s bill
• It was put together in the House to fund every pork package that was denied in the last ten years!
• The Senate has fallen into a textbook marketing trap
• Debate will focus on incrementalism, not fundamental clarity, value
• In case you didn’t get that..
• If I present you with a $800 Billion Package
• YOU will focus on that $800 Billion
• You will ponder adds/subtracts in the 10-20% range
• When all the time the $800 Billion really should have been only $400 Billion, or $100 Billion.
• You will also focus on the given content…nothing much more.
• Real clarity will never see the light of day
• YOU HAVE BEEN TRAPPED

 

So, YOU are now putting Whipped Cream (minor incremental changes)

on Horses**t (The Stimulus Bill).

STOP IT!

STOP!

 

What to Do?

• Admit that you just don’t know
• Paulson’s  “World will end” now has egg on its face
• He didn’t know, and America got burned
• YOU don’t know…will you burn America again?
• Don’t slow down…STOP
• Think
• Listen
• Analyze
• The “word” is that only 10-15% of the $900 billion is near term stimulus.
• So, 15% of $900 billion  = ~ $135 Billion.
• Consider passing the near tern stuff and put the rest into debate.
• Maybe if you spend your time really digging into and shining sunshine on the rest several good things will happen
• Obama’s promised Transparency will happen
• There will be less time for other worse bills
• The Horses**t will be well known.
• We might actually have a Prayer at sensibility

 

SO STOP !

 

VOTE NO on this BILL, and anything that resembles it.

Words...have meanings....
Look up "fearmongering"

They all want $900+ Billion of your money NOW!
Listen up....that's about $3,000.00 for each and every citizen
(Illegals don't have to pay)
For a family of 4 that's $12,000.00....give it up...NOW

You heard it from Paulson...The sky is falling. The world will end tomorrow!...send $$$$
You heard it from O'bama...we must act now!..critical will turn to catasthrophe!

Have you heard the latest from Nazi Pelosi?

We must pass this bill NOW!
...or....
500,000,000 Americans will lose their jobs!

uh....duh....has she heard? America has only about 300,000,000
Is she now saving Canada too?...Mexico?
ooooops...I forgot....that's Queen Pelosi speaking.

O'bama's rant...the height of personal irresponsibility
....you mean like spending hundreds of thousand of $$$ to hide what belongs to
AMERICA?...to bury your eligibility to be my President?

oh, another "uniquely qualified, only one that can do the job"  O'bama flop
Linda Solis....yet another conflicted failure!

One last one
Enough is Enough!
Damn Right...I got it!

Do you?...have you had enough yet of babble, bi-furcated speak?

The Bill of Rights

Many people have heard about the Bill of Rights, but few know why we have it.

The Preamble states the Purpose.

The 2^nd Amendment is critical to insuring that the balance of power remains in the hands of the People. But, they have to exercise their power, else they surrender it.

 

Preamble

….in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers,

I

…no law….

• prohibiting the free exercise to assemble, and
• to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

II

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

• Well regulated means working properly, …like a clock
• Well regulated does not mean overrun by the Government

 

• Keep

Definition of keep (verb)
forms: kept; kept; keeping
to hold onto; to save; to store; to watch over; to care for

• Bear…move, hold, wear, behave, have , hold.

To assure a safe America we need a productive, efficient, well-working militia….

In order for that to happen, necessary conditions are

• The People have the right to
• keep - to hold onto; to save; to store; to watch over; to care for and
• bear…move, hold, wear, behave, have (rightfully), hold arms.
• That sounds like duties and responsibilities of The People
• ..and that right (duty?) shall not be violated

V

The “famous” 5^th

 

IX

… enumeration ….shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

• …even though we mention something, that does not limit or take away things we did not mention!
