545 vs 300,000,000 people - a must read

545 vs 300,000,000

EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK
ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE. 545 vs 300,000,000

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the
Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.


I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its
Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason..
They have no legal authority.
They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing.
I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a
Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits..
The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?
Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow
House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Failing

Failing

Celebrating his first 100 days in office, President Barack Obama told the American people: “One hundred days ago, in the midst of the worst economic crisis in half a century, we passed the most sweeping economic recovery act in history…One hundred days later, we are already seeing results.” And he’s right, we are. Unemployment has risen to 9.5%, stocks fell to their lowest level in 10 weeks on Tuesday, and consumer credit delinquencies have hit a record high.

Every American should see this video.

What is going on in this country. We, the people are losing our rights a little at a time and we are letting these so called congressman stick it to us. They only care about their own welfare and power. It's time we all wake up before it's too late.



We'll look out our window some day and see a different flag waving over our soil.

We should do everything we can to prevent this memorial from being torn down.

ACLU insanity -- every American should see this video.

More questions, and this time some good questions

More questions, and this time some good questions.

While I've little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth
issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so and believes the issue can be
resolved by Obama answering one simple question:

What passport did he use when he was shuttling between
New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?

So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981,
without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later?

And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and
Karachi, what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and
Immigration?

The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions,
they must have answers.

It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.

Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A : Yes, by his own admission.

Q: What passport did he travel under?

A: There are only three possibilities.
1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.

Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible.
Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no travel" list in
1981.
Conclusion:

When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a
British passport or an Indonesian passport.

If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof
that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims.
And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to
prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or
American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.

Whatever the truth of the matter,the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born"
American citizen between 1981 and 2008..

Given the destructive nature of his plans for America,
as illustrated by his speech before Congress
and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress,
the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better

Happy Fourth of July - Don't forget your local tea party

The automotivle industry is now "In good hands."

The automotivle industry is now "In good hands."

(From a senior level Chrysler person)

Monday morning I attended a breakfast meeting where the speaker/guest was David E. Cole, Chairman, Center for Automotive Research (CAR and Professor at the Univ. of Michigan . You have all likely heard CAR quoted, or referred to in the auto industry news lately.

Mr. Cole, who is an engineer by training, told many stories of the difficulty of working with the folks that the Obama administration has sent to save the auto industry. There have been many meetings where a 30+ year experience automotive expert has to listen to a newcomer to the industry, someone with zero manufacturing experience, zero auto industry experience, zero business experience, zero finance experience, and zero engineering experience, tell them how to run their business.

Mr. Cole's favorite story is as follows:

There was a team of Obama people speaking to Mr. Cole (Engineer, automotive experience 40+ years, Chairman of CAR). They were explaining to Mr. Cole that the auto companies needed to make a car that was electric and liquid natural gas (LNG) with enough combined fuel to go 500 miles so we wouldn't "need" so many gas stations (A whole other topic). They were quoting BTU's of LNG and battery life that they had looked up on some website.

Mr. Cole explained that to do this you would need a trunk FULL of batteries and a LNG tank as big as a car to make that happen and that there were problems related to the laws of physics that prevented them from...

The Obama person interrupted and said (and I am quoting here) "These laws of physics? Who's rules are those, we need to change that. (Some of the others wrote down the law name so they could look it up) We have the Congress and the administration. We can repeal that law, amend it, or use an executive order to get rid of that problem. That's why we are here, to fix these sort of issues".

CHANGE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS ?!?!

David Jr. Meets His commander In Chief

David Jr. Meets His commander In Chief



For those who do not know Dave Borden, he is a former Black & Decker
employee who lives in Hanover . His son Dave Jr was serving in Iraq and was
badly injured from a bomb explosion. Dave Jr has had over 38 surgeries to
date. The email below is from a recent visit from President Obama. The
email speaks for itself.


Bryan McDaniel
Product Service Division
DEWALT, Porter-Cable, Delta

bryan.mcdaniel@dewalt.com

Since Dave Jr. has been injured he has met and been overwhelmed by many,
many political and military "celebs". The list includes Bob Gates, Sec.
of Defense, who came into his room and told him 3 or 4 times that if Dave
Jr. had any issues to call his cell phone number. It includes Gen.
Petereus who sat and talked with Dave Jr. for almost 45 minutes. The
General recalled vividly all of the circumstances around the events that
led to fighting that Dave was involved in. It includes Sen. McCain who
arrived late on a Saturday afternoon during a thunder storm, unannounced,
and talked to Dave Jr. about how similar their experiences with fate. It
includes George Bush when Dave Jr. was invited to attend the very last
Christmas party at the White House for the White House Staff. President
Bush and his wife entered the ballroom and immediately went to Dave Jr..
President Bush knew Dave Jr.'s name as well as when and how he was
injured. Dave Jr. had a picture taken with Laura and the President that
he has framed and will cherish forever. The list goes on and on of people
coming in to meet Dave Jr. and the other wounded warriors at Walter Reed
and Bethesda ...

Yesterday. Dave Jr. was ordered to be at the National Naval Hospital with
another 12 soldiers and Marines to meet with Obama. Obama was supposed to
arrive at 11:30 AM. He finally got there at 3:00 PM. He entered the room
with the wounded warriors and quickly shook each of their hands. He never
asked their names, where they were from, or how they were injured. Then
he left.

Dave Jr. has met the people who really care about the military. All he
remembers from Obama is a weak handshake. The others in the room, younger
and less exposed to the people that Dave Jr. has met, were so
disappointed. Word about Obama's "insensitive" visit has spread to the
MATC ( the rehab facility) at Walter Reed and throughout Bethesda . The
military sees through his phoniness.

All I can say is that it is such a dissappointment that this man is
Commander-In-Chief of our Armed Forces. He is an embarrasment to our
Nation.

Regards,
Dave




Don't blame me !

I voted for the AMERICAN !
