Rise up and fight for truth and freedoms!

Rise up and fight for truth and freedoms!

I would like to encourage all to write to your congressman and pursuade them to what you believe in. Many things are happening in the United States right now and I do not want to sit back 5, 10, 20, 30 years from now without having had some hand or role into decisions that are being made. If we do nothing then we are at the whims of others. I urge and call upon you to rise up and take action. Preserve your freedoms!

These are the thoughts of me to my Senators....

I would like to ask your vote against the health care bills that have been proposed to the Senate and have been passed through the house. The federal government does not have the right nor power to drive this bill, expanding government control will further increase our national debt and bankruptcy, it removes personal freedoms, and it unfairly forces the working class to pay for the bill.

First of all, the passage of this bill is not a right of the federal government. Amendment 10 clearly states: 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 federal government does not have the right to establish laws for health care coverage because it is not explicitly granted to them within the constitution. These rights, as defined by our U.S. Constitution, belong to the states.

Secondly, the U.S. Government needs to lead this people to prosperity by example. Our national government has zero fiscal accountability. Why would any new program be different? Why, when two of the largest government programs, Medicare and Social security, are running into bankruptcy, are we trying to fit yet another bill through?--A bill that would impact nearly 1/6^th of the GDP of the United States of America.

If the federal government has proven that it has failed to bring in fiscally sound programs of social security and Medicare, then why and how could they possibly convince the citizens of the United States that this bill would be different? We are mortgaging away our freedoms and the freedoms of our children with these bills. The 2009 Budget Deficit was 1.4 Trillion dollars – close to 10% of the GDP. The government only collected 2.1 Trillion dollars, which means that 40% of all our 2009 expenditures was on credit.

This is my money, this is my children’s money and this is their children’s money. Please do all you can in your power to stop government spending. Fix the other programs’ budget problems before introducing a new budget problem and new programs with the same destiny.

Aside from the government spending away all of our hard-earned money and having it end up into some huge bureaucratic, inefficient agency, having the health care bill pushed through could mean loss of person freedoms, specifically the right to chose what you want for your life.

The best decisions are those made closer to the people themselves. I don’t need the government to tell me what is best for my family, I have a much better understanding of my personal needs than they do. Mandating I pay health insurance coverage is an outright crime. I should not be penalized if I choose not to participate in health care – that is my God-given choice. The government has no right to take away the money that I have worked hard for and decide what to do with it.

Furthermore, requiring that the wealthy classes pay for everything just because they have the money is also theft. What gives the government the right to take from the people that have worked hard for their money and give it to others? That is their rightful steward, it is not the government’s to take from them and hand it out to someone else. To expect them to pay, especially when they would be the least to actually benefit from it is an outright crime.

Please take these thoughts into consideration when representing the State.....

Something to think about

This excerpt is from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title "C"ntarea Americii, meaning "Ode To America" on September 24, 2002 in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei ("The Daily Event" or "News of the Day").

An Ode to America

Why are Americans so united? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious beliefs.

Still, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart.

Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the army, and the secret services that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about. The Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.

After the first moments of panic, they raised their flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of the national flag.

They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a government official or the president was passing.

On every occasion, they started singing their traditional song: "God Bless America!" I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey player, who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other
hundreds or thousands of people.

How on earth were they able to respond united as one human being?

Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put in a collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit, which no money can buy.

What on earth can unite the Americans in such a way? Their land? Their galloping history? Their economic Power? Money? I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace.

I thought things over, but I reached only one conclusion...Only freedom can work such miracles.

Let me see if I understand

We're going to pass a Health Care Plan

written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it,

passed by a Congres that has not read it but exempts themselves from it,

signed by a president that also has not read it and who smokes,

with funding administered by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes,

and financed by a country that's nearly broke.

Sounds like a good plan...

Amendment 10 and the constitution

The United States Constitution is our country's document of governance. It is what the entire government of the United States is founded on, it is the law of the land. Without adhering to this document and putting your agenda above it, you are placing yourself at war against the very thing this country was founded on. To push agendas contrary to the constitution is illegal, yet this seems to be a past-time of many of our elected officials today.

The 10th Ammendment of the United States of America Clearly States:

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.

This amendment specifically points out that unless the respective power is specifically granted to the United States, that the power belongs to the people or the states. The Federal Government does NOT have a legal right to push agendas through that are not outlined in the Constitution, yet they are trying to steal that very right away from the states, away from the people themselves. They are stripping the people from their God-given right of being able to make their own decisions.

James Madison, the father of the Constitution, stated:

Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution

Why would the founding fathers give the governance to the states? Think about it -- the closer your governance is to the people, problems, circumstances, the better the decisions and solutions will be. Yet, for some reason our "leaders", more than 2,000 miles away think that they can make better decisions for you than YOU can yourself!

If I want to have an effective family at home and provide for the specific needs of my family, there's no way I'm going to depend on someone one thousand miles away to make the best choices for my children. NO WAY. How can they know my individual situation and circumstances? How can they know what my children's needs are? They Can't! The closer decisions are brought to the people themselves, the better the decisions will be. This not only makes the decisions better, but it also forces personal accountability. It forces you to grow up instead of living on a crutch of 'the next layer up'.

The 10th amendment is a freedom and principle of governance that we need to stand up and fight for. When the federal government steps in and passes a sweeping bill that every citizen of the United States is forces to pay into, they are stripping the states of their God given right to make their own decisions. This is Tyranny. This is forcing the will of the heads of government on the will of the people.

No One cares

What do you do if no one cares? You solve a hard problem and customers say, yes please, I'd like that. you tell your boss, he says that's nice. You tell his boss, he says that's nice--but neither of them do anything. You tell the next boss and he forgets your name, then you tell anyone who will listen and they all say things like: That's nice, I'm glad your doing that, good luck, let me know, blah blah blah. Then when nothing gets done, and you jump in to finish, they say "hey what are you doing" "you can't do that" And you keep working. Then somehow you end up in a meeting where all the "decision makers" are there. And they decide to what...make another decision (in 8 months). So you tell the director, and he says "I'll look into it". You can't go much higher. Are we just in a world where no one cares? Is that what wealth and prosperity do? Make you indifferent? What a pain, you wonder then why you are taking upon yourself so much pain...to what end. If only all rose together, laziness would be abolished!
