Now that you have the foundation of this blog, let me say that if Barak Obama does not show a birth certificate, he does not exist. He is as fictitious as Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. He is not a President of the United States.
Many People want to put this issue at rest and yet this one issue is part of the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution which America itself is based upon. Obama is day by day stripping away the rights of the people and walking upon the Constitution as if it was his personal piece of toilet paper. I cannot stand what is happening.
Where is the revolution we need to take back our rights and freedoms? Where are the people shouting in the streets that our fictitious Commander in Chief is not the leader of this nation? Are we as a people going to stand in front of our state capitals and city buildings to voice our protests on the 15th of April? Does America even have it in her any more to stand up and be heard?
Evil will prevail if the righteous do nothing at all. I can pen my thoughts, send out warnings and stay tuned to current events, but all of it is to no avail if we as a people do not take action.
My soul is sickened each and every day by the things I read and hear. The Gitmo prisoners are going to be given finances from the American People. An education from the American People. The ability to recruit follows from the American people. All of this is being done under the guise of leadership from Obama. Enough is enough. I cannot nor will I ever support a man who willingly walks on the Constitution of these United States.
I write these things knowing that such material could be monitored and a list of rebels could be made of those who oppose the Obama administration, but I will continue to write and continue to object as long as I have breath to breathe. I will stand my ground and not make apologies for it. Things are wrong in Washington and Obama is the number factor of it.
62 million people voted against Obama in the election. Where are they now? Are we sitting back and saying "Oh well it is done therefore there is nothing left to do?" Do we have the mentality that "all Is Well" in Washington? 62 million people need to be heard in Washington with the voice of a screaming, outraged eagle.
Inundate our Senators, our Congressmen, and the White House with our cries of rejection and horror. Raise our individual "Tile of Liberty" throughout the nation. Do whatever it takes to let people know we are not happy with what we see. Send your blogs to these people, let them know what we really believe in this current situation.
Obama's Handicap
Posted by Linda Keilbart Scanlan in Bowling, disabilities, Glenn Beck, Jay Leno, Special Olympics
Obama's comment about the Special Olympics participants on the Jay Leno show has received wide spread notoriety. More than what may be warranted. Glenn Beck said, in essence, that as a father of a disabled child he got over it.
Well I too am a mother of a disabled child. I too take no offense, but for no other reason than I think Obama himself should be in the Political Special Olympics. His handicap for finesse and eloquence is apparent. A gutter ball statement from him is now expected.
Set that aside, people are saying that Obama needs to be "politically" correct in this matter. Being politically correct is exactly for political situations...like Hillary Clinton with Russia's "over-charged" button.
Let's be real people and not give Obama more press coverage. His ego is being filled by his power and position. Being on the Jay Leno show and acting as if he is the greatest gift to the world, should be sufficient time spent on a man who can't even prove he was born.
I am beginning to think he was spawned by the devil. Why has America not pursued this more aggressively? He is not my President and wont be acknowledged as such, even remotely, until this issue is resolved. Ahhh, but that is another blog to right.
Tenth Amendment Rights
Posted by Linda Keilbart Scanlan in Constitution, State Controlled Government, State Rights
Here are some cases where Idaho states rights were protected:
http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/fischer/080520
http://voices.idahostatesman.com/2008/11/20/rockybarker/liberals_ur...
The 10th amendment says: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The Tenth Amendment sets forth one of our most cherished rights, and for good reasons. When states and local communities take the lead on policy, the people are that much closer to the policymakers, and policymakers are that much more accountable to the people. Few Americans have spoken with their president; many have spoken with their mayor.
Empowering state and local government leaders to solve their own problems often leads to better policies. These leaders are closer to those affected by decisions, and more likely to understand the nuances of their community's particular challenges. Solutions that work well in Boston may be completely inappropriate in Boise.
The greatest virtue of the Tenth Amendment is that it embodies the wisdom of checks and balances. We tend to think of checks and balances in the context of our national executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Yet the tension between federal, state, and local governments is just as important.
The state of education in our country also demonstrates the Tenth Amendment's strengths and weaknesses. Nothing embodies the idea of equality of opportunity more than education. The Tenth Amendment ensures that education is funded primarily at the state and local levels, yet the federal government has intruded in the field of education...a function never given it by the Constitution.
A nationally controlled education system would be a disaster. Not only would it likely lead to an expansive bureaucracy and stifling regulations, but it would also deny us much of the wisdom, innovation, and accountability that often comes from local communities.
The federal government exercises enumerated power, most notably that in Article I, Section 8. The states, by contrast, exercise residual and unenumerated power, fundamentally the basic police power to protect the health, welfare, safety, and morals of the people. And it is the people of each state, as the beneficiaries of the Tenth Amendment's final phrase, who decide in what measure and manner the reserved powers of their state shall be exercised.
The importance of the Tenth Amendment ebbs and flows. The willingness of the Court to breathe life into its words may depend on the public esteem in which state government is held.
During the Rehnquist Court, the Tenth Amendment experienced something of a revival. In Printz v. United States, the Court invoked the Tenth Amendment to prohibit Congress from commandeering state personnel in the execution of a federal gun control program. Congress appears to have broad latitude in imposing costs incidental to the implementation of federal directives, so long as it does not cross the line and actually tell state officials what to do.
The Supreme Court itself has moved to restrict the foremost concern of the Tenth Amendment — the preservation of the state police power. Yet the Tenth Amendment serves vital constitutional values. It protects, above all, the possibility of diverse state approaches to the nation's most volatile social problems. And in so doing, it respects regional differences as well. It allows change in America to assume a gradual, evolutionary, and democratic course — one quite different from change achieved through the convulsive stroke of the constitutional pen. It was not intended by the framers to dominate our constitutional landscape. But neither was it placed in our founding document to be forgotten."
The powers delegated to the Federal Government by the states and the people under the U.S. Constitution, for the most part, are as follows:
1. To collect taxes on imports and excise taxes on commodities of home production (Not on wages, salaries, or capital gains.) 2. To regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian tribes. 3. To establish a uniform rule of naturalization. 4. To coin money. 5. To establish Post Offices. 6. To grant copyrights and patents. 7. To constitute Federal Courts as needed (inferior to the Supreme Court.) 8. To declare war.
On November 22, 1994, thirty Republican Governors adopted the Williamsburg Resolve, which, in essence, said, “Federal action (the Federal Government) has exceeded the clear bounds of its jurisdiction (authority) under the Constitution and thus violated the Rights guaranteed to the People.” The United States Supreme Court has abandoned its constitutional role by allowing the Federal Government to unconstitutionally extend its rules and regulations into virtually every area of public and private life, clearly in violation of the Tenth Amendment.
State Senator Charles Duke (CO) initiated the Tenth Amendment Resolution Campaign, which was to get as many state legislatures as possible to adopt a resolution informing the President, the Vice President, and the key leaders in Congress that their state is claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment and demanding that the Federal Government immediately end any mandates that are beyond the powers given to it by the Federal Constitution.
In 1994, the following states joined Colorado in passing a Tenth Amendment Resolution: California, Missouri, Hawaii and Illinois. Oklahoma passed the resolution in one house, and Resolutions were introduced in Ohio, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Seven other states; Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, New Mexico, Nevada, and Wyoming planned to introduce the Resolution when their Legislature next convened.
Unfortunately, the Tenth Amendment Resolution campaign has been in limbo until recently when Representative Charles Key (OK) reintroduced the Resolution in the lower house in Oklahoma and successfully got it passed again in that house by a lopsided vote of 92-3.
Ever wonder why the Constitution is only taught as part of a government course in High School and not a full semester class? My opinion is that if you don't know what your rights are, you can't argue against them. The governments wants to be a mysterious red tape business for the average American. They want you to feel lost and insecure so that their control over you is firmer. It is Knowledge and Wisdom that frees us from the grasp of passive slavery.
Below is a wonderful article about our Tenth Amendment rights to have the states govern themselves (as it has always been but not enforced lately). Enjoy your education
Now a movement toward revitalizing the Tenth Amendment Resolution campaign has risen to get more states to pass the Resolution, with the understanding that the powers referred to in the Tenth Amendment are clearly based on powers set forth and defined in our Declaration of Independence and Preamble to the Constitution. We introduce the “Constitutional Ensign to the Nation” as a working instrument that graphically illustrates the principles that guided our Founding Fathers when they wrote our Constitution.
To provide some strength of enforcement to the Tenth Amendment Resolution, hopefully, some of the states that pass the Resolution will have an Attorney General who still remembers their oath of office and will have the courage to file a legal action against the Federal Government for their unlawful and unconstitutional violation of states’ rights.

Expedition of Laws
Posted by Linda Keilbart Scanlan in Laws, Legislation, Obama, School House Rock, Shock and Horror
Today I actually felt horror touch my soul. The things that are being passed by our government into law is chilling. I see communism everywhere. I watch as people go about their business with seemingly blissful ignorance. The average American does not know what in the world is going on. Obama is trying to get passed a mandatory youth military for "homeland security" reasons. This is what Hitler did when he began his reign of horror. This law if passed would mandate military service like Spain did. The people would be brainwashed with foolish ideologies of supremacy. The older generation who lived through the holocaust and in concentration camps are shaking with fright as they see history repeat itself in a nation that represents safety from the evils of the world. It is no longer "out there". It is here and settled in our government. This proposed military would be the eyes and ears of the government. We would have to watch what we said like the Russians did. For the first time in my life I had a brief thought of moving to another country. This country and it's constitution is too great to abandon.
I received "hate mail" prior to the elections when I quoted a holocaust survivor's article of history repeating itself and looking like Hitler in the form of Obama. Many people do not like the inference, but here we are only one quarter into the new administration and it is all being laid out for the nation to see.
Legislation and laws are being enacted so quickly that the American people are unable to keep up with it all. Watch groups crying out against the governments bombardment (NRA, Grass Roots, MRC, etc) are barely keeping up with it all. The American people are relying on their watch cries to keep them abreast of what is going on.
The amazement and wonderment of the expedition of these things is causing me to reflect upon the matter more fully. Many of these measures had to have been formatted and typed up prior to the inauguration. Some I believe are formatted after communistic regimes. Yes I know that there are people paid to write these things up and they are familiar with the language required for these things, but a budget report with over 8,000 earmarks, does not get typed up over night.
Take a look at the "School House Rock" lyrics to "I'm Just a Bill":
Boy: Whew! You sure gotta climb
a lot of steps to get to this
Capitol Building here in
Washington. But I wonder who
that sad little scrap of paper is?
I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law some day
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill.
Boy: Gee, Bill, you certainly have a lot of patience and courage.
Bill: Well, I got this far. When I started I wasn't even a bill, I was just an idea.
Some folks back home decided they wanted a law passed, so they called
their local Congressman, and said, "You're right, there oughta be a law."
Then he sat down and wrote me out and introduced me to Congress. And I
became a bill, and I'll remain a bill until they decide to make me a law.
I'm just a bill
Yes I'm only a bill,
And I got as far as Capitol Hill.
Well, now I'm stuck in committee
And I'll sit here and wait
While a few key Congressmen discuss
and debate
Whether they should let me be a law.
How I hope and pray that they will,
But today I am still just a bill.
Boy: Listen to those Congressmen arguing! Is all that discussion and debate about you?
Bill: Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most bills never even get this far. I hope they
decide
to report on me favorably, otherwise I may die.
Boy: Die?
Bill: Yeah, die in committee. Ooh, but it looks like I'm gonna live!
Now I go to the House of Representatives, and they vote on me.
Boy: If they vote yes, what happens?
Bill: Then I go to the Senate and the whole thing starts all over again.
Boy: Oh no!
Bill: Oh yes!
I'm just a bill
Yes, I'm only a bill
And if they vote for me on Capitol Hill
Well, then I'm off to the White House
Where I'll wait in a line
With a lot of other bills
For the president to sign
And if he signs me, then I'll be a law.
How I hope and pray that he will,
But today I am still just a bill.
Boy: You mean even if the Whole Congress says you
should be a law, the president can still say no?
Bill: Yes, that's called a veto. If the president vetoes
me, I have to go back to Congress and they vote
on me again, and by that time you're so old...
Boy: By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become
a law. It's not easy to become a law, is it?
Bill: No!
But how I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.
Congressman: He signed you, Bill!
Now you're a law!
Bill: Oh yes!!!
This is the process we were taught as children. It takes time to get these things through and look at what Obama has done! Maybe we need to look into his research and reference books to see where they are coming from.
AIG Is Government Retirement Fund
Posted by Linda Keilbart Scanlan in AIG, Bonuses, Campaign Contributions, Government retirement funds
Do you know that AIG is the retirement account for government officials, like congressmen, senators and presidential candidates. They are not willing to become victims like the average American and watch their retirement savings disappear. Take a hard look at these figures and donations made from AIG officials to government officials as campaign donations. Maybe now we know why they are in bed with each other.
Subject: ALG Sharpens Call on Obama and Congress to Return AIG Kickbacks
For Immediate Release Contact: Alex Rosenwald
March 23rd, 2009 Phone: (703) 383-0880
“The American people were already hopping mad about
the bailouts for failed companies like AIG. And now, when
they learn that company bigwigs donated hundreds of
thousands of dollars to politicians in 2008, their anger is
also rightly directed at the political elite.”—ALG President Bill Wilson.
ALG Sharpens Call on Obama and Congress to Return AIG Kickbacks
March 23rd, 2009, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today sharpened his call for President Barack Obama and members of Congress to return campaign contributions received from the bailout-recipient firm American International Group, Inc. (AIG).
“There is no question that President Obama must return the $104,332 he received from AIG during the 2008 election cycle,” declared Wilson. “And so must the members of Congress who took massive campaign contributions from cocktail-circuit cronies at the very institutions they were supposed to be overseeing. The American people are outraged—and rightly so.”
According to a Rasmussen Reports poll released today, 67 percent of Americans believe that politicians who received campaign contributions from AIG should return the money.
“The American people were already hopping mad about the bailouts for failed companies like AIG. And now, when they learn that company bigwigs donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to politicians in 2008, their anger is also rightly directed at the political elite,” Wilson added.
Last week, Wilson sent a letter urging President Barack Obama and members of Congress to “return the $4.37 million they received in campaign contributions from AIG since 1989, including the $644,218 they received in 2008.”
According to OpenSecrets.org, AIG gave some $644,218 to candidates for federal office in 2008. According to Wilson's letter, “[I]n return, it received from the Federal Reserve some $173 billion in taxpayer-guaranteed loans. That represents nearly a 27 million percent return on their 2008 'investment' into politicians' loyalty.”
“Any politician that has ever taken even a single penny, not just from AIG, but from all bailout-recipient firms, should return the money immediately,” Wilson insisted. “The politicians got campaign bonuses to turn their back on financial malfeasance.”
“And they should return those bonuses just like they are demanding their corporate cronies do,” Wilson added.
President Obama received $104,332 from AIG in 2008, which is the bulk of the $110,332 in contributions he has ever received from the company.
Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) in 2008 received $103,900 of the $281,038 he has ever received from AIG. In the 2009 $787 billion spending bill recently passed by Congress, Dodd inserted the amendment that guaranteed that bonuses would be paid by adding language to a spending cap that specifically excluded executive bonuses included in contracts.
“Of the 314 members of the Congressional majority who voted to protect the AIG bonuses, a large number of them have taken money from AIG,” Wilson noted. “They took payoffs, short and simple. And now that they've been caught, it's time for them to return their ill-gotten gains.”
At the time of the legislation's passage, Congressional Republicans opposed the speed with which the bill went through Congress, citing that members did not have an adequate amount of time to read it.
“We knew the so-called 'stimulus' was just a grab-bag of special interest handouts and kickbacks. And it is clear that campaign contributions from AIG and other bailout firms are just another example of pay-to-play corruption that is endemic in Washington,” said Wilson.
“And it is poisoning our system of government,” Wilson concluded.

Horror Has Touched My Soul

Everyone who has a child, grandchild, nieces and nephews must know what is coming. I spent 3 years in Spain under a mandatory youth military. The youth were neglected and did not progress. The country itself has not evovled enough to make it to "modern" times even to this date. We do not want government involvement in teaching our nations children under the regime of communism. Please take the time to read this message and watch the videos.
WAKE UP AMERICA MOVEMENT ALERT
for YOU and everyone in your friends & family contacts and your groups & networks & blogs
The above image, which may seem extreme to some, unfortunately sums up HR1388- the bill passed this week by an unconscious House of Representatives - and, astonishingly, received some GOP - as well as
full Democratic (aka Socialist) support.
FOR MORE FACTS ON THE G.I.V.E. ACT, go to: http://www.wam08.org/TakeaStand.html
W.A.M. has been on the forefront of warnings that Obama would push his real agenda through as fast as possible. Following on the heels of the expiration of E-VERIFY and the ongoing push for CARD CHECK (passed by the House and now in the hands of the Senate) the single most dangerous piece of legislation in the history of our nation has been moved with a nod from the House to the Senate.
Typical of the Obama/Pelosi agenda, this bill has a title which is the exact opposite of what its contents really mean! Called the G.I.V.E. Act, it calls for a sudden, sweeping revision of longstanding National Service laws at a cost of millions of dollars (and that's just for its start-up) in order to establish an Obama controlled domestic Youth Force to combine civilian and military functions - right on our own soil!
Par for the course in Obama/Axelrod strategy, the House passed this without MAIN STREAM MEDIA attention - under cover of the AIG scandal which occupied the airwaves this week. We all need to show Washington we are not being fooled anymore by their diversions. Please do your part to spread the truth of this G.I.V.E Act - which opens the door for indoctrination of our nation's children from kindergarden through high school; tries to buy support by paying for summer camp programs and senior programs - and, at the same time, takes over the traditional role of private charities and local community organizations - under the POWER OF AMERICORPS, a Federal corporation!!! It even
includes the deletion of tax deductions of vehicle use and gas for charitable work- to ensure that the government is the ONLY CHARITY left in this nation.
W.A.M. urges all conscious citizens who care about preserving our freedoms
to take immediate multi-pronged action to
STOP THIS LEGISLATION DEAD IN ITS TRACKS.
Can you imagine your children, your grandchildren, your parents and grandparents and your neighborhood under the control of an Obama modeled "value system" that trains everyone in "how we should treat each other" ???
If not, we urge you and everyone you can outreach to ACT with W.A.M. NOW on the U.S. Senate - to demonstrate a mass wave of protest against making this bill law. Please do not wait or hesitate! W.A.M. will be sending signed Petitions to the key members of the Senate shortly. Here's what we ALL need to do - or suffer the consequences - potentially for generations to come:
#1 Sign the NO NATIONAL SERVICE REVISIONS PETITION at:
http://www.wam08.org/TakeaStand.html
#2 As soon as you sign the Petition you'll be linked to Sign In. Doing so will then connect you to a Confidential set of ACTION TOOLS - including FREE FAX to SENATORS and a CONTACT LIST of FAX & Phone numbers of the SENATE, listed by State. A prepared letter to Senators is also on this page for quick FAX- you can revise this letter, as you choose, or simply FAX it to Senators as is.
#3 Then, pick up the phone and CALL AS MANY SENATORS as you can. There is also a sample Phone message on this page. Use as is- or change as you wish. You may get the Senator's voice mail instead of live staff. That's fine - Just make as many calls as you can!
FORWARD THIS EMAIL ONLY TO THOSE YOU TRUST.
If you have been signed in with Wake Up America movement for a while, you know we have never issued an urgent THREE STEP ACTION like this before - because there has never been a measure so damaging to the fabric of our society so imminent as this unjustifiable, costly, life-altering legislation now at hand. We urge you to take these ACTIONS immediately and wholeheartedly because there is so much at stake. Only a concerted large scale convergence of above PROTESTS will stop mandatory service to Obama from taking hold. God help US all if we sit by and let that happen.
The Future is in your hands... Make your voice heard in Washington Now!
Being told from some higher ups that this will probably be voted on Monday We are not going to have time to do anything but make calls. So, let's get on the phone. Please distribute

While Congress was distracting everyone with phony outrage over AIG, they were able to slip under the radar a bill designed to establish mandatory civilian labor.
This is doubtless the beginning of Obama’s fascist, “national civilian security force” he spoke of during the campaign. You can read the whole story here: http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=92288. The title of the bill is H.R. 1388, the “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act,” also known as the GIVE Act.
It has already cleared the House and is headed to the Senate, where, as it happens, they are working on a similar, additional, bill that is being called the “Serve America” Act. Shockingly, 70 Republicans voted for the House bill, proving once again that most elected Republicans are tools and losers who will do whatever the Democrats want unless they are pressured otherwise.
Not amazingly, the Senate's Serve America Act is being sponsored by Ted Kennedy with RINO and useful idiot, Orrin Hatch in tow as a cosponsor.
Both of these bills MUST BE STOPPED! It’s hard to overstate how important this is.
Please call AND email your Senators (Democrat and Republican alike) and tell them to oppose the so-called GIVE Act that just passed the House, as well as the Serve America Act that’s being brewed up in the Senate.
As always, here is the contact info of all 100 Senators: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
If you can, please also contact Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell and let him know he needs to get Republicans in lockstep on opposing this: http://mcconnell.senate.gov/.
Lastly, I have listed below, the names of the sell-out Republicans in the House who voted for GIVE. If you want to give them a piece of your mind, you now know who they are. There is something very rotten that is stinking up the Republican Party, and it needs to be uprooted . . . and fast. Here’s where you can get contact info for House members:

Apples and Oranges?
Posted by Linda Keilbart Scanlan in Accountability, Food Stamps, Government Budget, illegal immigrants, Providing for your Family, Sacrifice
All we hear about lately is the budget and some people think enough is enough, let's move on to other things, but I have yet to voice my opinion.
I am out right flabbergasted over the budget that has been proposed and then approved. All of the "earmarks" have yet to be disclosed to the American people. The more I hear about these things the more I roll my eyes.
You see I am an average American who has their own budget and has to live within those limits. It's nice to study bees, but not at the cost of having food on the table. It's also nice to be able to borrow money from friends and family when needed but not at the cost of bankruptcy.
Every penny should be accounted for. Every penny should be spent within/for the United States (household). Every penny should be spent on necessities and not wants. Every penny should be talked about amongst the leaders (adults of the household). Nothing should be slipped in the budget without the other knowing about it.
Necessities are the basics: food, clothing and shelter. Wants are everything else: phone, cable, cars, make-up, meals out, etc. As the National Financial Advisor I would keep these things in clear perspective.
I would also cut the fat out of budget immediately. Let's talk about the billions of dollars that go to care for illegal immigrants.
Illegals apply for food stamps. They would need to provide a green card. No green card, go back to where you come from.
Illegals apply for medical. They need to provide a green card. No card, go back to where you came from.
Illegals apply for work. Show your green card. No card, no job. Go back to where they came from.
Illegals break the law, they face the judge. No green card, no American rights. Immediate sentencing, jail time and then send them back to where they came from.
By handling and maintaining illegals correctly billions of dollars would come back into the governmental budget. Americans would have more jobs too. After all I would never feed the neighbors and take care of them without taking care of my own first. I would not ignore those who are my responsibilty.
Of course Americans need to remember that even working at McDonalds helps to put food on the table. I like the movie "Pursuit of Happyness". It shows how we should be as citizens. We should do all in our power to achieve success. Shelters and handouts are for those truly going through a hard time, not for those who wont work.
Food Stamps? I know a lot of Americans use them and survive on them. How many of these citizens grow gardens? How many know how to preserve the food they grow? How many people prepare for a rainy day? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a perfect program of working for what you receive. Many of these members who need help surviving in today's economy, work for what they get. Stake Farms need able hands, Churches need to be cleaned, talents used for the benefit of others.
The SHARE program in Norfolk, Virginia requires people to contribute their time and effort on a voluntary level in their community in order to receive food. Babysitting for free. Serving in a Soup Kitchen. Making booties for newborns. Driving the elderly to the market or the doctors. Work for what is received. What a lot could be accomplished if the Food Stamp Program worked that way. Museums, libraries, parks, could all be maintained and beautified with a communities working hands and not the government's money or more aptly put, the taxpayers money.
I would put the responsibility of the providing for a family back on the shoulders of the American people. You might have to eat a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, hot dogs, pancakes, or oatmeal, but that would only make the steaks taste sweeter.
Are we as citizens willing to sacrifice what it takes in order to not get further in debt within our homes? Are we willing to stand up to a governmental administration and tell them "No" when it comes to spending out the wahzoo? The government is like a giant household for the nation. Financially it should be run like a regular household. It is not an apples and oranges situation. It is an apple and apple situation.
Will some one please forward this to Washington? Maybe some one out there will get a clue.
Romney for President in 2012
Posted by Linda Keilbart Scanlan in Government Budget, honesty, Mitt Romney, patriotism
Why would Mitt Romney be "the" man to vote for in 2012? I believe he will be the only one who has enough commitment, experience and brains to get us out of the debt that Obama has already gotten us into. Mitt Romney did wonders for the Massachusetts budget, and bailed Utah out of a Olympic financial disaster. These two incidents alone look great on his resume.
Mitt Romney also can change his opinions when he has discovered he is wrong. During the '08 Presidential campaign, Romney changed his stance on abortion. Many in the media, and from opposite political parties, tried to resurrect Bush's "flip-flop" slogan against John Kerry on Mitt Romney. Mitt's answer to this attempted slur campaign is what won me over to his side. His comment? (paraphrased) Aren't we suppose to change our stance on things when we learn that our stance was wrong in the first place?" Wow! A man who admits that he was wrong and then takes responsibility for it. He sounds kind of...well honest. Wouldn't that be a refreshing change for a President?
Mitt Romney is also a man of God. As a Mormon (a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)in good standing, Mr. Romney has to answer some great questions about his integrity in order to participate in some of the most sacred ordinances in the LDS Church. Questions like...(paraphrased) "Have you been honest in ALL of your dealings with your fellow man?" (taxes, business, lies, everyday actions, etc) "Is there anything in your conduct regarding your family that is not in harmony with the teachings of the Church?" (abuse, neglect,demeaning, demoralizing etc). Wouldn't you like to know he still has to answer those questions appropriately after he's President?
Mitt's lineage is noteworthy also. He is descended from great men. Men who have declared to the world the testimony of God,and His Son Jesus Christ. Men who have been taught from their youth that this land is a sacred and promised land. Men who understand what is worth fighting for and know when to fight for it. Romney has been taught these things from his infancy. He knows that it takes hard work and responsibility to make it through life, not a hand out.
Mitt Romney also knows that to be a good leader you don't need to keep making laws to appease the people. You need to enforce the ones that have already been established. Consequences need to be applied immediately to offenders; ie illegal immigrants. The laws are already there, just enforce them.
The greatest reason I have found to vote for Mitt Romney is because he loves America. He is a patriot willing to do all in his power to protect this great nation and it's people. Mitt Romney is the only man who comes close to portraying "President Palmer" in the TV series "24". We need leadership like that today. We need more Jack Bauers ("24") as citizens. We need honesty and integrity.
I have become addicted to Glenn Beck ever since he moved to Fox. I use to watch him occasionally before, but now my DVR is set so I don't miss an episode.
Glenn speaks the words of my heart and the thoughts of my mind. He is defending the Constitution of the United States openly. He is gathering like minded people together so they don't feel alone. He aired a you tube video about what ">Thomas Paine would say if he were here today.
Glenn's 912 project (the912project.com)is gaining momentum all over the nation. Almost 200,000 people have become a member in just a little over a week. This is enabling America to be united again. From supporting "tea bag" parties to 912 parties across the nation, Glenn is a voice that America can trust.
When Obama is compared to the ">Holy Messiah
as a spoof, I worry because some where in the future some one will believe even this irreverent analysis. Obama brings shame to the true Messiah.
Glenn Beck's show however has frequently hosted ">Joel Rosenberg as a remedy for distorted truth. Obama hype or Joel Rosenberg? No brainer there.
What a clear precise balance of the news. With Glenn Beck on the we, as Americans, will not be brainwashed by the media's ill perceived view of events. Every episode shows the less important issues that the media covers that day, then Glenn cuts to the chase and talks about real issues that need to be addressed.
Thank you Glenn for being an American hero. Thank you for hosting American heroes on your show. Thank you for speaking my thoughts.
