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.
