Repeal 22nd Amendment?

NY Representative Jose Serrano has introduced H.J. Resolution 5 that would repeal the 22nd Amendment restricting Presidents to only two terms. This ridiculous proposal shows, once again, what is happening in America with regard to these career, entrenched politicians and their lack of touch with WE THE PEOPLE. Serrano is but another of the entrenched that must be removed from office. I would propose this as an alternative. How about the repeal of the 17 Amendment instead? Repeal of 17 would break up the power of the lobbyist forever, giving control of the Senate back to the States, where it was intended by the Founders to be. This alone, would solve many of the problems in the federal government. I would propose the States convene and, as a unified body, declare the sovereignty of the States as granted by the Constitution and at the same time retake control of the federal government by repealing the 17th Amendment. Texas, Utah and Montana have already taken the first steps in this direction. Wake up America and follow through.

The Stimulus Tragedy has been published 90 days!

When The Stimulus Tragedy was published, April 1, it was intended to be a wake up call for America. Even this author is surprised how accurate the message has proven to be. The situation in America is much more critical than I expected. This is mostly due to the House passage of Cap and Trade and the election of Al Franken. Cap and Trade was not addressed in The Stimulus Tragedy. At the time of the wriring there was not enough known of the proposal to do much with it. What is most disturbing with Cap and Trade is how the House pushed it through with no one having the opportunity to read it or debate it. It is the sitmulus bill in rerun. The subversion of the due process of the Constitution is what makes all this so frightening. The career, entrenched politicians are on a run away! The only thing they are concerned with is increasing THEIR POWER. It has nothing to do with what is best for America or WE THE PEOPLE. As I talked about so much in The Stimulus Tragedy, as long as these career, entrenched, professional politicians remain in office, nothing can change. Now is the time for WE THE PEOPLE to stand tall and take individual responsibilty for the future of America. FAX your Senators with your views on Cap and Trade and do it every day. The entrenched pay no attention to emails, do not read our letters and jam up the phone lines so we can't get through. The only thing they see that makes any difference is the pile of paper generated by the FAX. WE THE PEOPLE are individually responsible for the future of America!

Read My Lips, NO NEW TAXES!

The promise of no new taxes for 95% of Americans has gone out the window! The proposed Cap and Trade Bill has passed the House and is headed for the Senate. It is a tax increase of massive proportions - the largest in the history of America! With it goes the promise that elected the President! It proves, one more time, that the promise of no new taxes was a lie! This legislation has been in the works since the 1990's. The proposal has already made Al Gore a very rich man. It is now poised to make hundreds of millions of dollars for a select group of individuals and large corporations, at the expense of WE THE PEOPLE. With Al Franken now in the Senate, the defeat of this bill becomes more unlikely. Many in the Senate have stated that this bill will not pass the Senate. I believe it will. The career, entrenched politicians will push this through, over and above the objections of WE THE PEOPLE. THIS IS ABOUT POWER AND NOTHING ELSE! Sadly, the little guy, the 95% of the people government claims to be "looking out for", those the entrenched call "the masses", are the losers, as they always are. Cap and Trade will be paid for by families, low income earners, retirees, the worker and small business. All is not yet lost! FAX your Senators! Do it now, do it daily and keep it up until Cap and Trade is voted on in the Senate. Wake up America! It is up to us and we are individually, ultimately responsible for the outcome.

What Will Cap and Trade Be?

My guess is that Cap and Trade will be enacted. This may sound like a negative, but it may not be. America needs to wake up. This may be the wake up call. If it does pass, the best thing that can happen is for it to be implemented immediately so the affects will be immediate. This legislation can likely be changed over time if it turns out to be as costly as expected. If, in fact, this legislation does cost every household in America $2700 annually, it may mean the demise of many of those voting for it. If this bill passes and America wakes up, many of these career, entrenched politicians may be voted out of office and that may save America. It will be better to have a Cap and Trade bill passed that needs to be changed then a social program like Socialized Medicine.

Cap and Trade Vote Coming Friday!

The Cap and Trade bill is reported to be 1000 pages! None of the House members have read it! It is my hope that WE THE PEOPLE will make ourselves heard before this bill is voted on in the House on Friday. I hope enough Americans will fax their Representatives so the pile of paper against this legislation overwhelms them all. DO THE FAX! Emails and phone calls help, but piles of paper will have more effect. I posted about what his will do to America a few days ago.

The Sanford Downfall.

I have been thinking about how to write this post all day. This situation with Mark Sanford is so sad, it is difficult to write about. To me this is not about the man as much as it is all those people going down with him and being hurt by this. It's about the wife and those four handsome young son's of his. It's about SC and America. Mr. Sanford made choices and those choices have consequences, for a large number of people. Anytime a public figure destroys themselves, they always take many with them. It is not for me to judge Mr. Sanford. But, why do these people with so much going for them fall into a trap like this? And, why do so many political figures fall into these traps of sex, greed and all sorts of perversions? Only God knows for sure. What makes this situation so bothersome to me is that this man was on the Hannity TV show just days ago talking about God and doing the right thing, when at the same time he has this going on for 8 months. It seems to me a political death wish. A Lutheran minister friend of mine told me many years ago that "a man can rationalize anything" and I guess this fits. To me it is baffling. This is not a young kid. This is a super successful man with years of life experience. Why is it that we see so many celebrities, athletes, rich people and politicians destroy their lives and their family's lives? I don't have the answer. I will say another prayer for Mr. Sanford, his wife and those young son's of theirs.

Cap and Trade Exposes the Lie!

Cap and Trade exposes the Obama lie that taxes would go down for 90% of taxpayers! The cost of Cap and Trade is estimated to cost every household in America $2700 annually. That is a tax increase! Carry that a step further. How are low income people, senior citizens, or retirees living on fixed incomes going to deal with this? The very people these career, entrenched politicians propose to be the most concerned about will be hurt the most. As I mentioned in my book, The Stimulus Tragedy, the family, the worker, the elderly and small business, which is most of agriculture, will suffer most. Every insane proposal the entrenched come up with pushes the country closer to revolution. WE THE PEOPLE must remove every politician voting for all this spending and these ludicrous ideas!
