If you are as fed up as I am . . . .then please let your representatives know!!
************************************************************
I am a conservative and I have absolutely HAD IT with all of your Partisan Nonsense!! You Democrats just Have to criticize McCain's decision to suspend his campaign. Of course You Republicans just Have to come back and defend him and then criticize Obama for Not suspending His campaign. I was really hopeful that just for once our elected officials could work together in a bipartisan manner in order to get something done . . .especially during a crisis! So Much For That!
I swear . . .I am going to pour through all of my representative's voting records, (Democrat AND Republican), and if it shows that they have always voted along party lines and have never even tried to work across the aisle to accomplish the work of the people, I am going to campaign for whoever is running against them. There will not be another politician to get my vote unless they PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS ! ! !
I REALLY DO WISH that we did Not have two main parties, then we could vote on the individual and not the party. Perhaps Maybe . . .Just MAYBE our government could actually stop the bickering and do the job that THE PEOPLE hired them to do ! ! !
I PROMISE ALL OF YOU THAT I WILL DO EVERYTHING THAT I CAN TO VOTE OUT ANY POLITICIAN, (DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN), THAT DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS ! ! !
Please feel free to spread the word amongst yourselves . . . .because I assure you that I intend to!

WE DESERVE IT DIVIDEND ! ! ! !
I just received this in an email . . . . .Thanks Dana! WOW . . . .Wouldn't it be nice! LOL!
__________________________________________________
Pure Brilliance!!!.... Anything is better than putting
those who caused it- government especially plus
some wall street folks - in charge of fixing their
own mess. I don't know where this originated
but it's good...for left or right side -
***************************************************************
To my fellow Americans......
I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to
$595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college – it'll be there
Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car – create jobs
Invest in the market – capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance – health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S
Citizen 18+!
As for AIG – liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can 'never work.'
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC.
And remember, this plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is
returned
instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.
PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a laugh
or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!

Bar Stool Economics
I received this in an email this morning:
_________________________________________________
We need to send this to all of our legislators and Barak Obama as an economics lesson. They and he specifically seems to think that the Presidents job is income redistribution and not revenue enhancing tax policies
Bar Stool Economics
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers, he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings)
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant the men began to compare their savings.
'I only got a dollar out of the $20,'declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10!'
'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'
'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'
'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

This is PURE TREASON . . .Using OUR TROOPS for Political Gain!!!!
Barrack Obama is NOT President "YET!"
He DOES NOT determine Foreign Policy "YET!"
He should be under investigation and tried for this TREASON!!!
OUR TROOPS are NOT PAWNS to be used for Personal, Political Gain!!!
It is Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE the lengths that he will go to in order to win the Presidency!!
_____________________________________________
This is One article that I found on this and I will include a couple of additional article links at the end of this article:
http://swordattheready.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/obama-works-to-stall-iraq-troop-withdrawal-so-he-can-be-seen-as-the-one-who-brought-troops-home/
Obama Works to Stall Iraq Troop Withdrawal So He Can Be Seen As The One Who Brought Troops Home
In another honest age and time, this would be known as Treason.
But not today, when the world is upside down and Marxists are on the verge of a complete takeover.
Barrack The Hussein Obama, the Annointed One of the Marxist Left actively worked behind the scenes in Iraq to undermine U.S. Policy there, even before elected to the office of President, in order to set the stage for exiting U.S. forces from Iraq during HIS Presidential Administration in 2009-2010.
Amir Teheri reports that while campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, The annointed messiah, Sen. Barack Obama tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
Obama tried to deny and rebut this news story spending more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York Post report.
However Obama campaign sources admitted that the report was true.
There were at least three other people in the room with Obama and Zebari to confirm the conversation, and there was concern that there were enough aggressive reporters based in Baghdad with the sources to confirm the conversation that to deny the comments would create a bigger problem.
Instead, Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi told reporters that Obama told the Iraqis that they should not rush through what she termed a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of U.S. forces until after President Bush left office. In other words, the Iraqis should not negotiate an American troop withdrawal.According to a Senate staffer working for Sen. Joseph Biden, Biden himself got involved in the shaping of the statement. “The whole reason he’s on the ticket is the foreign policy insight,” explained the staffer.
Obama told NBC News at the time: “The foreign minister agreed that the next administration should not be bound by an agreement that’s currently made… and my concern is that if the Bush administration negotiates, as it currently has, and given that we’re entering into the heat of political season, that we’re probably better off not trying to complete a hard-and-fast agreement before the next administration takes office…“
So beyond all the lying spin and cleverly crafted obscurity that Obama is famous for throwing out to cloud his changing positions, this one is plain: Obama tried to DEMAND of Iraqi government officials that Iraq not agree to any troop withdrawals of American forces until HIS Administration takes office.
That way, Obama can take the credit for “getting us out of Iraq”.
How can a sitting Senator go to Iraq, talk with Iraqi officials to undermine or make policy to stall decisions the President and the military commanders made when he is not the Executive yet, if at all?
Is Obama wishing for our country’s foreign policy to fail in Iraq, or is he working actively to cause it to fail? the following element of U.S. Code Title 18 might be of interest:
- U.S. Code Title 18
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
At one time, there would have been a trial for this treason.
But not today.
Today, Democrat Elities routinely commit treason, including visiting our enemies and denouncing America from foreign soil. Pelosi did so from Syria, Obama does so from Iraq and Berlin.
Update: More reports on this breaking story

WE REALLY NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS . . . .
I posted this on April 23, of 2007 and thought it was very appropriate to post again.
_________________________________________________________
Here is another email that I received around 8 months ago. I believe that we can learn a lot from our past . . . .and this email certainly did SHOCK me and made me think and quite frankly, made me afraid for our future.
_________________________________________________________
THINK ABOUT THIS
About the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage
"Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million;
Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000
States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare...
"Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.
PS . #9 If the Senate grants Amnesty and citizenship to 20 million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then goodby USA in less than 5 years.
