by the people, for the people, from the people.

We, the people, must have solidarity...unity! The voice of action must be heard...by the people, for the people, from the people. We, the people, can take back our country!

In the spirit of the suffragettes a century ago, we must unite in a common cause!

Our nation and our people face a profound choice this year; once again a choice that will define the future for tens of thousands of working families and their children, seniors, the working poor, and the middle class and students.

American democracy is threatened.

Let's make the right to organize and bargain collectively the number one issue in this election year!

Our nation has stepped backward. It is our responsibility and obligation to take it forward again.

Take it back from political agendas, corporate greed and overall manipulation. It is time to take action here in our land, in our own schools, neighborhoods, farms, and businesses. We have been lied to and terrorized by our own government, and it is time to take action.

Better stand up and fight America, or there WILL be a terrorist memorial mosque on the White house lawn. They will be in our country soon, Because some how they have rights?

It was a complete slap in the face and our leaders should have seen it as such. But what did they do? Turn around and give AIG another $38 billion two weeks later!
How many of us could walk into a bank two weeks after we borrowed a bunch of money in desperation and get more?
How successful would we be at getting more money if we so grossly underestimated how much it would take the first time around?

Stimulus Bill?
Energy -- $32 billion to fund a so-called "smart electricity grid" to reduce waste; $6 billion to weatherize modest-income homes.Science and technology -- $10 billion for science facilities; $6 billion to bring high-speed Internet access to rural and underserved areas; $1 billion for the 2010 Census.Housing -- $13 billion to repair and make more energy-efficient public housing projects, allow communities to buy and repair foreclosed homes, and help the homeless.Environment -- $3.2 billion to clean up Superfund and waste sites, leaking underground storage tanks, nuclear sites and military bases, as well as $400 million for habitat restoration projects and $850 million to prevent forest fires.

Now they will Raise our taxes!!! Pay us less!!!!!!! UnEducate Us!!!!!! and in the process of all this They will Raise our rates Raise our payments and do little or nothing to help us.

The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality. Andrew Jackson

As long as our government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of persons and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending. Andrew Jackson

It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word. Andrew Jackson

There is nothing that I shudder at more than the idea of a separation of the Union. Should such an event ever happen, which I fervently pray God to avert, from that date I view our liberty gone. Andrew Jackson

Funny how government works today, if the money becomes available, there always seems to be a sudden emergency that needs fixing and the excess revenues are demanded by bureaucrats for pet projects while the taxpayers just keep on paying.

Growth needs to pay for growth, not be paid for by taxpayers who have already endured high prices just to get into this market place and now must cope with overly inflated tax increases that coincide with overly inflated assessment increases. You can forget living here on anything even close to a typical fixed income.
It Is Up to "Americans to do the right thing"
Write or Call Your Government People 85% of Americans do not!!!!!!

Americans need to press their politicians to do what's morally and legally right. In any other issue, you can count on the media to put the heat on politicians and citizens can sit back and watch. In this conflict, they have chosen to look the other way. That is why it's up to each and every citizen to put the heat on their local politician and President.

If doing the right thing were always, or even usually, clear and straightforward, ethics would be a cinch. Ethicists and moral philosophers would be out of business, ministers and rabbis would have so much less to say and newspaper articles would all be black and white - instead of shades of gray.

Does the Bible tell us what form of government we should have? NO
Can a Liberal believe in the "inalienable" rights of our Declaration of Independence? NO

American businesses are taking American jobs overseas but must we pledge an allegiance to the flag made in China? Why?The next time you have to purchase a flag try to make sure it is an American made one. There is no need to allow a nation like China, a communist nation, to make money off a symbol they would gladly see disappear. So do you still like liberals?

Remember that ache you feel for our troops and country the next time you need to buy a flag or magnet.For once, check the label, and buy American. A soldier is bleeding right now for your right to be able to buy anything in a free country.Bless Them All.
"Nothing is more embarrassing to me than a plastic flag ‘made in China.’ This replica of freedom we so respect should be made in this country."
"That door is going to keep opening," said Van Leiu to reporters about foreign-imported flags. "It starts small, then it gets big. You’re just opening Pandora’s box."

When? When are the American People going to wake up?
Dear Nancy Pelosi... Please ask Harry Reid to move to China with you.
The Demo Bot's and Their Liberal Fan Club need to move on!
Stop the Ruination of our Country! Speak up people "ITS TIME"

$3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens

The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, theirchildren, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the United States .
So using the LOWEST estimates, the annual cost OF ILLEGAL ALIENS is $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! So if deporting them costs between $206 and$230 BILLION DOLLARS, Heck get rid of em’, We’ll be ahead after the 1st year!!!

War is good when good survives and evil is crushed. If you don't crush evil then evil will get you. Ted Nugent


“The way that you eliminate bad and ugly is either through activism and policy making that never tolerates evil -- instead of the liberal politically correct policy of accepting evil and accepting other points of views that destroy lives. We the thoughtful, productive people of American have got to take our freedom back.”
Ted Nugent quote


“We're talking about a resource that is in dramatic need of monitoring and policing. The wild ground that fish cops run is a mecca for lawbreakers because they feel they're out of the view of typical law enforcement.”
Ted Nugent quote

In Los Angeles alone, 95% of all outstanding warrants for homicide ( which total approximately 1,200-1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to 2/3 of all fugitive felony warrants ( approximately 17,000) are for illegal aliens.

Approximately 400,000 illegal aliens who have committed crimes and have been given a deportation order are at large in the U.S.and their whereabouts unknown.

Illegal alien Walter Alexander Sorto was repeatedly picked up for driver's license violations and for driving without insurance. Houston police, however, were barred from reporting his illegal residency status to federal authorities by "sanctuary policies". In March 2004, Sorto and a companion abducted, raped and killed 3 Houston women.

We use the term "undocumented immigrants" but they are also referred to elsewhere as unauthorized migrants, illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, and undocumented aliens.

Local police are taking on a greater role in helping federal immigration officials catch and deport people living in the country illegally, law enforcement officials say.

By and large, the effectiveness of local law enforcement policies against illegal immigration remains unknown because not every municipality keeps a record of those it has reported to ICE.

Why you like to label Undocumented immigrant as criminals ? Because an illegal alien, invading the US IS criminal!
because they are here illegally, and the definition of illegal is a criminal action, therefore they are criminals -simple
From 1999 through 2006, the 24 counties along the U.S.-Mexico border spent a cumulative $1.23 billion on services to process criminal undocumented immigrants through the law enforcement and criminal justice system. In fiscal year 2006 alone, the cost was $192 million. These are staggering costs considering the rural nature and poverty level of most of these border counties. The enormous fiscal impact of undocumented immigration on border counties is not a recent phenomenon. The number of U.S. residents with Mexican backgrounds has increased by nearly 600,000 annually since 2000, with more than 80 percent of the new arrivals here without proper documentation, the Pew center estimated.

“Stop the madness! DEPORT,” one of many like-minded comments in a previous post on illegal immigration, is an opinion that has always lacked a price tag. Another figure — the estimated 12 million foreigners in the United States right now without permission — hinted that it would not be cheap. And others doubted whether it was even possible.

We need to get a handle on this problem....It's everyone job Don't forget it

So it is your job to help us not them, You took an oath to protect the Constitution and the Legal Citizens of this Country. We pay your salaries’ and you work for us.

Barack Obama: stimulus package

As part of an appeal to Republicans to back his $825 billion (600 billion) economic stimulus package, Mr Obama said in his first weekly presidential address that the dream of a prosperous future could be lost "as more young Americans are forced to forgo college [university] dreams or the chance to train for the jobs of the future."
He added: "In short, if we do not act boldly and swiftly, a bad situation could become dramatically worse."

"I don't like it," said Mr McCain. "I think it's a bit disingenuous to announce strict rules and then nominate someone with a waiver from the rules that you just announced in one of the most important jobs in Washington."

Stimulus Package Is Welfare, Not Tax Cuts

In fact, the $100 billion is simply extra spending; it is a giant one-time welfare program. To pay for it, the government will borrow an added $100 billion, which will impose $100 billion of higher taxes on future generations.

Anti-Business, Pro-Welfare $20 billion to increase the food stamp benefit by over 13% in order to help defray rising food costs.Food stamp use has been going down for years. Rather than be happy, Liberals want to crow that it is going up. So they increase it 13% over the inflationary index. Wonderful.

THE STIMULUS PACKAGE IS NOTHING BUT MORE PORK AND WELFARE

All this money is supposed to help rid the USA of the deep recession we are sinking into, but in fact it will just post pone for an indeterminate number of years the very deep recession with run away inflation that must following such massive spending by the Federal government with "printed but un-earned money.Fort Knox has only 187 billion dollars in gold reserve. At one time in our history. In the not so distant past the dollar was backed by a dollar in gold in the vaults of Fort Knox. Not so today, we have an ever diminishing valued dollar that buys less and less each year.Despite this fact President Obama and is minions plan to spend the following with a large portion of the stimulus package. "The grocery list includes $87 billion for aid to states for covering Medicaid costs; $79 billion to local school districts and public colleges; an additional $41 billion in aid to impoverished and disabled students, school construction, modernization and new technology; $54 billion in renewable energy incentives; $82 billion in unemployment benefits, retraining and insurance; $20 billion extra for food stamps; and $90 billion in infrastructure spending. And don't forget that the money called for here is above and beyond what all these programs already receive in the annual federal budget. Didn't Bill Clinton tell us 13 years ago that the era of Big Government was over?

Support Socialized Health Care? No!

We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees” Franklin D. Roosevelt quote “Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.”

"universal health care" Doesn't everyone have a "right" to health care? NO! Health Care isn't a Right. Sorry No where in the Constitution is this listed..So no you don't have a right.

you have no "right" to force others to provide these things for you - All "free" medical care is subsidized through taxes stolen from other people. Suddenly your problems are mine and mine are yours. If you eat unhealthy foods or drive a motorcycle without a helmet, I have a direct interest in your business - you are going to see a provider on my tax dollars. Your neighbors might support government bans on smoking, "unsafe" sex or other "risky" behaviors to reduce costs. Politicians will use the federal bureaucracy to force you and your family to comply with programs such as the "New Freedom Commission on Mental Health".

47 million statistic includes illegal immigrants - who virtually all lack insurance. In fact, about one in four of those lacking insurance is here illegally. And they are, by far, the group most in need of health insurance. I do not want my tax dollars paying for illegal health care ever!

President Bush vetoed two different versions of SCHIP extension legislation during his presidency, claiming the bills were a step toward socialized medicine ... Thanks Mr. Bush!!!

Illegals who have stolen Social Security numbers could continue to receive SCHIP benefits unless the Social Security Administration tracks the thefts.
After the House passed its version on Wednesday, Obama called Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to congratulate her.
"This is only the beginning of the change we will achieve with our new president," Pelosi said.

This is what the citizens of the United States of America has to deal with everyday...How awful!

Cost to Taxpayers
Taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill for health care that is already “universal,” as it provides health care for anyone in the universe who can make it across a U.S. border.
Minnesota, in 2004, had some 85,000 illegal aliens. A 2005 report, “The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Minnesota,” was requested by Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn., because of substantial challenges raised by illegal immigration. The report concluded that undocumented immigrants cost Minnesota health care assistance programs $35.5 million in fiscal year 2005.
In Oklahoma, a 2007 report on illegal alien issues showed that 4,450 illegal aliens in the state received Medicaid services in fiscal year 2006 at a cost of $9.7 million. In a three year period, the health care for illegal aliens in the state tripled, while the number of illegal aliens receiving free health care doubled.

If my neighbor thrives on garbage foods, I will not pay for his or her health care NORE should I have to. Bottom Line!!!!!!!!

Please I am asking that all people write your Government people and protest this crazy wave of BS towards Socialized Health Care.

"What happened in our Great Land"?

You know the other night I was having a conversation with some people.
These people are just regular everyday people. They told me of the problems with congress and government in general.
I said well do you write or call or have any contact with your Governmental people? The answer “NO” I asked why their answer.
“Oh it doesn’t do any good” I say “Oh I see”
Why? Do so many American Citizens feel like this? I was raised in an American family that taught us that we are indeed “WE THE PEOPLE” I actually thought that everyone knew this. But an ultra high percentage of these Citizens “GRIPE” “BITCH” “COMPLAIN” about what our Government has became. BUT their entire life they as “AMERICAN” citizens have never played a part in it Governance. This is something that I find very hard to swallow. Believe me the Governor and Senators from this state have heard my name several times. So has the Mayor and Police chief and several others, But the trend in our country today is “Oh I don’t want to bother with this crap and it doesn’t do any good any ways” As you could tell from the most recent election there were all kinds of people that truly didn’t bother to vote. Ask them why, and they will say “Oh it doesn’t matter” or something like this “It’s a headache” People no longer realize that it is indeed everyone’s job to tell government what we want. Back in Andrew Jackson’s day. 98% of people took part in self government.
“TODAY” it’s more like 25% participation. If it truly wasn’t for Conservatives on TV and Radio nothing would get out at all “TRULY” The Citizens of a free country no longer want to take the time to give one shit about the country they live in. It really breaks my heart to see such blatant stupidity. To think I served in the Military for these truly uncaring stands of flesh. Our fore fathers truly would vomit if they could see how things are handled today. It’s a dammed shame for sure. My question is this, “What are you all going to do when people like Me Just decide to give up on all of it”? And what if then when your “RIGHTS” are gone what then? Who will you complain to then?

Section 5: The Sovereignty of the People
The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors. As Benjamin Franklin wrote, "In free governments the rulers are the servants and the people their superiors and sovereigns." The ultimate powers in a society, therefore, rest in the people themselves, and they should exercise those powers, either directly or through representatives, in every way they are competent and that is practicable.
8. Majority Rule
The only way a republican government can function, and the only way a people's voice can be expressed to effect a practicable control of government, is through a process in which decisions are made by the majority. This is not a perfect way of controlling government, but the alternatives--decisions made by a minority, or by one person--are even worse and are the source of great evil. To be just, majority decisions must be in the best interest of all the people, not just one faction.

9. Self-Government
The object of the republican form of government and of the principles that are essential to that form, is to enable a people to govern themselves to the most practicable extent possible. Not every nation of people are capable of self-government, and many expected the experiment of the Founding Fathers to fail. But it did not fail, and the experiment proved that an educated and enlightened people are capable of self-government. The question remains, however, the extent to which government by the people themselves may be extended.

7. Republican Principles
The best form of government that has ever been devised for protecting the rights of the people has been found to be the republican form. While not perfect, it nevertheless gives a voice to the people and allows them to correct the course of government when they find it moving in a wrong direction.

11. Governed by Reason
We who have grown up in a democratic republic take for granted a government of the people based on reason and the people's choice. But before our nation was founded, modern governments were based on authoritarian domination. The people in general were considered little more than cattle, to be governed and controlled by those possessing wealth, education and power, and kept under subjection lest they undermine the stability of the government. The Founding Fathers introduced the revolutionary idea that government could rest on the reasoned choice of the people themselves, which was thought absurd in other lands at that time.

Growing up “American” in the Midwest

Well my Father was “Cherokee” and was a conservative and a straight shooter. If you didn’t want to know the truth then don’t ask him.
He always wanted to join the service and enter into WWII But they wouldn’t take him “Flat Footed” they called it. And he was always un happy about that.. and believe U Me he would have made an awesome warrior. But regardless at my home OLD GLORY was put up every morning and taken down ever night. We were an American household indeed. My Father was a Rancher, Truck Driver, Law Officer, and a great Conservationist. “Hunter” and much much more. He bought and drove “FORD” pick ups. Nothing else would do. Bought me a 22 cal rifle at age fourteen. And showed me the in’s and out’s of fire arm ownership.
He was no liberal. When he learned of my wanting to join the military at seventeen he was joyful, I graduated from High School early and off I went to Fort Dix NJ. My sister had joined the Air Force the year before. Now my parents were lonely But ever so proud that both their children had joined the Armed Forces. It was the Late seventies and all was well on the home front.. Many children today won’t join the military because they haven’t been taught value system or patriotism by their parents or school.
Many of today’s fathers are draft dodgers of the past or liberal anti USA guys, “Obama Voter’s” if you know what I mean. Having liberal parents is never a good thing for young people; they grow up weak and dishonest. And wanting something for nothing. My Father “God bless his sole” and I quote “If you want something bad enough you have to earn it, If it isn’t worth it Then you do not want it bad enough” This is how I was raised and that is why I am so independent , What I have got I have earned.
My Father said “They will never build a factory in the back yard” Which meant get your ass up and find a job and do it soon. He wasn’t an Obama voter and that is for sure and neither am I. My father loved “GOD” even though he hardly ever showed it. He was a quiet man a stern man a hard working man. My Father was the kind to look out for his neighbors and community and country, and also took good care of his family.
The young men growing up today will never be able to even stand in my Fathers shadow, He didn’t drive a Toyota and he knew what “We the People” stood for. I miss my Father and always will. I try to stand in his shadow and do a good job of it, Too bad more American do not even put the effort out to try. Shame on them.

The Invasion of Grenada
(1983) The invasion of Grenada in late 1983 can be seen as a small part of the rivalry between the U.S. and Cuba during the Reagan years. A bloody coup in Grenada, along with a perceived threat to American students on the island provided the U.S. with an excellent excuse to eliminate a Marxist regime allied to Fidel Castro's Cuba.

DATES OF CONFLICT:
BEGAN: October 25, 1983
ENDED: December, 1983 CAUSES OF CONFLICT:
The U.S. invasion of Grenada and the toppling of its Marxist government can be seen as part of a greater regional conflict. This conflict involved the U.S. and its Central American and Caribbean allies on one side and Fidel Castro's Cuba, the Sandinista government of Nicaragua and various Marxist guerrilla armies on the other. President Reagan and his administration were concerned that the Marxist government of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop was allowing Cuba to gain undue influence in Grenada, specifically by constructing a military-grade airport with Cuban military engineers.
On October 13, 1983, the Grenadian Army, controlled by former Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard, seized power in a bloody coup. The severity of the violence, coupled with Coard's hard-line Marxism, caused deep concern among neighboring Caribbean nations, as well as in Washington, D.C. Also, the presence of nearly 1,000 American medical students in Grenada caused added concern.
However, along with concern, came opportunity. With President Reagan's worldwide efforts to confront what he viewed as the threat by the Soviet Union and other Communist countries (such as Cuba), the turmoil in the Caribbean provided a timely excuse to eliminate a Marxist government and give Fidel Castro a black eye.
It should also be noted that on October 23, 1983, American foreign policy and pride suffered a terrible shock when a Muslim suicide bomber destroyed the Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 240 U.S. Marines. A successful campaign in Grenada would prove helpful in alleviating the pain of that setback. DESCRIPTION OF CONFLICT:
In the early morning of October 25, 1983, the United States invaded the island of Grenada. The initial assault consisted of some 1,200 troops, and they were met by stiff resistance from the Grenadian army and Cuban military units on the island. Heavy fighting continued for several days, but as the invasion force grew to more than 7,000, the defenders either surrendered or fled into the mountains. Scattered fighting continued as U.S. troops hunted down stragglers, but for the most part, the island quickly fell under American control. By mid-December, U.S. combat forces went home and a pro-American government took power.

CONSEQUENCES OF CONFLICT:
1. The Marxist, pro-Cuban governments of Bishop and Coard were eliminated and a regime friendly to American interests took over.
2. The Reagan Administration proved willing to use force to combat what it considered hostile governments in the area.
3. America's European allies expressed disapproval of the unilateral invasion of Grenada.
4. The invasion sent a message to Cuba and Nicaragua that they could only go so far in exporting revolution in Central America and the Caribbean without provoking an American military response.
CASUALTY FIGURES:
U.S.-- 19 dead (officially).
Grenada-- 49 dead and several hundred wounded.
Cuba-- 29 dead and over a hundred wounded.
