ONE THOUSAND PAGES OF WHAT?

Started to read the Congressional 1018 page Health Care Program and stopped. No wonder no one reads it, they can't understand it It goes on forever.. You need to be a lawyer who takes the time to study and analyze every word and sentence. We talk about getting rid of small print and extreme language, well maybe Congress and the Senate can come up with plain old English that people can understand. Example: The bill will not (will) cover abortion, the bill will not(will) cover euthanasia.The government will not make individual health decisions, this is reserved for the doctor and patient. The present language provides too much leeway for fudging and misappropriation. It needs to be specific, why should anyone trust a 1018 page document that hems and haws about everything. If it can't be understood by the common man, than it needs to be re written, Keep It Simple Stupid. Follow that rule and maybe people will trust government. People need to understand the specifics. At the present time there is no Health Care Reform Bill that is suitable for passage.

LET FREEDOM RING

August 5, 2009 email to Senator Dick Durbin.

This is not a manufactured email. I belong to no group or organization, I am a free thinking American who believes in this country. The townhall rabble rousers are like me, they are expressing their freedom of speech. Unfortunately you don't appreciate freedom of speech unless it's for what you believe. The pro health care rally in Chicago was manufactured by Unions, why didn't you come out and criticize those folks? If the polls say people don't believe in Obamacare, it's all hog wash. What kind of representative are you. You don't represent me or Illinois you represent the Democratic Party. That's unfortunate because you might as well say you are a Communist. That's not democracy or representation. I guess you approve of Chavez's control of the media. Then you could do whatever you want and the people are relegated to slavery. We are not slaves of any party and will fight for our rights and liberty. You are no longer what I consider a believer of the Constitution or what America is about. You are a traitor to the beliefs of our forefathers. God Bless America.

LETTER TO SENATOR RICHARD DURBIN

I know that you don't care what I write, but I want to tell you that you are not suited to represent the people of the State of Illinois. You are not protecting and defending the Constitution, you allow the President to do what he wants with no checks and balances and you don't insure that the law is executed. Why Acorn and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd have not been charged for their actions is beyond me.You support OBama Care with no justification or money. You want to destroy the best health care sytem in the world. You want us to imitate Europe, you don't want to secure our borders, you want illegals to get, while we pay, so you can get votes. This is not America, you support a dictator as President and fail to fulfil your duties. The State of Illinois is bankrupt, the city of Chicago is corrupt and the County is a disgrace. This is what you, Obama, Axelrod and Emanuel come from. What a resume. The people fought for their freedom and rights in 1776 and we'll fight for them again in 2009. God Bless America.

BUYER BEWARE

I believe we now have an analogy that there is a bunch of used car salespeople running Washington. They don’t want you to read the contract, they don’t want you to look under the hood or test drive their programs. They want you to trust them because they know what’s best for you. My advice, BUYER BEWARE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

Recent political events are perplexing. Who do you listen to, who do you believe? The pundits put their spin on every possible event from Michael Jackson's death to Sarah Palins’s resignation . It’s all opinion and nothing more. If we go back and read or listen to previous sound bites we’ll probably find it’s all hog wash. Where is the serious discussion of real problems? How do we put people back to work? How do we get money back into the market? How do we create new innovations and ideas? When do we start making our elected officials accountable? Why do we support dictators who do not believe in democracy and let our officials say nothing? Why don’t we stand up for the Constitution instead of allowing elected officials destroy it? Why don’t we demand elected representatives to read and justify legislative votes? Why do we allow legislation be passed on the whims of a few without little or no debate? Do you believe in superficial deadlines? Our government is acting as this is a game. This is not a game and all issues need to be treated with intelligence and in depth consideration. Michael Jackson and Sarah Palin are diversions, let’s deal with the issues that affect our daily live’s.

GOING BROKE

The United States is going broke. Once the envy of the world, our policies are now being mocked and laughed at. We used to be looked upon as a country of laws and free markets. The lessons of the past are being abandoned for a socialistic approach. Government tells us that everyone is equal and wealth must be divided. It makes no difference if you work hard or idle your time away. We must share the wealth. Is this the path the people of the United States voted for?

The free market system is being replaced by the nationalization of our monetary, auto and health care systems. Instead of allowing the market to adjust and self correct, government has become intrusive in dictating solutions. The solution is spend. By spending and avoiding reality the government has placed us in deep debt. The President tells us that we should not spend what we can’t afford. We must act responsibly. This does not correspond with government actions. Some states rejected TARP Funds and government forces it upon them. Banks wanted to pay back bailout funds and government said no. Now government is taking back the TARP Funds to recycle into more bailout money. Is this acting responsibly? Is this how you pay down debt?

As we go deeper into debt government continues to spend. They tell us health care is broken and must be fixed. Yes, there are problems with health care, but do we need government taking over a system that provides the best health care in the world. Government just can’t keep their hands off. It’s as if they want to destroy everything that made this country great. Our Congressmen and Senators sit blindly by as the President and his men lead us into catastrophic debt and socialistic policies. The media flaunts the President as if he is infallible. Most Americans have no idea what is happening and are mesmerized by the President’s words.

They say time heals. Wake up America and demand that government act responsibly. Government needs to stop spending and perform its constitutional duties. Our founders set guidelines to dictate the role of government. They did not design or establish our government to be a dictatorship.

REASONS TO BE CONCERNED

I’m upset on how much waste goes into mailing political form letters. For one they never respond to the writer’s issues and concerns... Maybe the politicians need to listen and start worrying about the main issue, OUR FREEDOM. Everyday some freedom is being quietly stripped away and our elected officials say nothing. Money is going out the door faster than it can be printed, and they say nothing. Ordinary Americans gather to protest government taxes and spending and they’re labeled fanatics... It appears that the politician’s attitude is that they don’t have to listen and that their time should be dedicated to contemplating future votes. My advice, stop counting and start serving. There is only one difference between Democrats and Republicans, one says yes and the other says no. That means they serve a master other than the people. The present administration is becoming a bully and everyone is afraid to stand up and say: “this is America the Land of the Brave and Free”. The people rule, not government. Patriotism, in Washington, is dying and the people we elected are killing it. I’m sorry, but I’m greatly concerned and fearful that our elected officials are destroying the Constitution and the greatest country on earth, The United States of America.
