WHY DO WE HAVE A CONGRESS

Why do we have a Congress when the President dictates law thru executive Orders and Regulations. They say they have the power of the purse and impeachment. They won’t cut anything even when we’re 18 trillion in debt. The President is offering Iran 50 Billion for agreeing to a useless nuclear agreement. What about the Ukraine? The WH spends millions on travel. The 1st lady has a staff of 23, most 1st ladies had one.  Congress has useless hearings with no results: F&F, Benghazi, IRS and on and on. No one is accountable. The AG sets law instead of enforcing laws. He works to divide us. Every day our freedoms are attacked: religious, culture, speech, right to bear arms and above all the Constitution. When polls say Congress has a 7% rating I say it’s too high. What do they do in Washington?  Our country is being destroyed bit by bit,we can’t wait till 2016.

DHS/AMNESTY A BIG CON JOB

When the president sent Congress the Department Of Homeland Security Budget he included funding with legislation to fund 5 million illegals. The President has been using Executive orders to get his way on many different issues. The Congress would not fund the illegals and took the position that it was unconstitutional. It passed a bill stripping the illegal funding.  The bill passed and went on to the Senate. The Senate needed 60 votes to pass the House bill. With only 54 Republicans it couldn't muster the majority. A number of RINOS made the task of passing the House Bill even harder.


What we have in the Senate is a political game in which the Democrats stated if the bill, the President wanted, didn't pass, Homeland Security would  shut down. Not true, they could still work although their pay would be delayed until funding was passed.  It was a scare tactic and con job. In the meantime the States  challenged the President's Amnesty effort in court. The court ruled for an injunction of the funding of the 5 million illegals.  The states would have been burdened with supporting the illegals.  The President's action would have given illegals a bonus and other benefits including the eventual right to vote. The President is in charge of the Executive Branch to carry out laws not create laws.  The Congress  creates laws. We are not sure when the court will rule on the injunction, but it appears that it will have to go to the Supreme Court for resolution.


Senate Majority Leader McConnell recommended 2 separate bills, one to fund DHS and one for funding illegals. This would eliminate the threat of shutting down DHS and eliminate the Democratic leverage to blackmail the Republicans into passing Obama's funding request in fear of shutting down DHS. 


It's unfortunate that Republicans like McCain, Graham, Rubio, Johnson and others fell prey to the Dem Game and would rather play politics instead of standing up for what is right and not to be intimidated by threats. John McCain said he was ashamed, well he should be. In fact the entire Senate should be ashamed for playing these games instead of fulfilling their oath to uphold the Constitution.


I don't know what kind of people we send to Washington but it demands a letter, phone call to your representatives to start doing their jobs. We don't deserve to be conned or lied to by the President or our representatives. Using blackmail to get elected officials to vote a certain way is not acceptable. It's a disgrace. The current people in DC are dragging the country down and they will be looked upon, in history, as the ones who destroyed a great country.

WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?

Where did we go wrong? The world appears to be in chaos. People are rioting and protesting. No one’s happy. Government has no answers and their solutions are worse. We have forgotten the values that made our country great: ingenuity, creativity, individualism, hard work, family, a sense of common decency, a belief in God and oneself. Each and everyday these values are under attack. We are no longer encouraged to be individuals with self esteem, but to become members of a collective society that is dependent on one another and above all, government. Somewhere along the way we have been led to believe that government is the answer. If government was the answer our lives and our society would be perfect. We know that the world and man is not perfect. Corruption is rampant and money is truly the root of all evil. To commit a crime has almost become common place. Where is the remorse? We no longer know the difference between right and wrong. We are envious and jealous of those who have more than us and feel justified to think that we are entitled to their riches. There is nothing in this life that is free, you have to work and earn it. To take it from someone is called stealing. For government to think they can spread the wealth is a way to destroy ones soul. God created us as free thinking individuals with a conscience. We must return to our basic values and individualism if are to survive the evil and corruption that abounds in today’s society. We must be responsible for our own actions. It starts with each and everyone of us becoming a model for goodness and true justice. This is not easy, as we discover the difficulties of finding the leadership and the values to lead us out of this sad state of affairs. We the people must stand up and provide the answers and demand the values to turn our country around. If we don’t, we can start saying goodbye to a nation that was once called the “Home Of Liberty and Freedom”.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY COUNTRY?

To All Elected Officials:


OK, what are you guys doing in DC to keep us the Land of the free and home of the brave. In my estimation, not much. Let's start out:
1. Where's my bonus. How in hell can you provide all kinds of benefits to illegals? Give them the right to vote. Who do you represent, certainly not me.
2.Control the border? When?
3.Foreign Policy, there is none. ISSIS and the Jihadist keep advancing and killing and the US is immune. Do you know about the Nazi's and the holocaust?
4.Disease control.  We're not stupid. Measels, spread by who.  Illegals coming across the border. Who are you kidding?
5. Budget, more debt no cuts. Start cutting your benefits you're costing me too much for my return on investment.
6. You stand by and watch this President destroy our Constitution and laws. We have a dictator and you support it by not speaking for America.


As long as people like you represent us we stand no chance of regaining what we once were, Proud, patriotic, hard working americans.
