Common Sense in Health care debate

Hopefully commonsense in the Health care debate will prevail. While medical and insurance expenses are increasing, it is all about adjusting our behaviors not getting people insured.

Together we stand

Okay it is Jay here with a few cents that I have to spare.

What do you think? We all have a voice. Remember in this graet repiublic it is about "We the People".

Huckabee Endorses Marco Rubio

If Marco Rubio can't win, it is a sign that We the People just don't care. This should be a slam dunk. Let's see.

Maxine for President

This is Maxine. Read what she has to say below her picture.



Everyone concentrates on the problems we are having in this country lately: illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida .
Not me, I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It is a win-win situation.

+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
+ Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.
+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

Are there any other problems you would like me to solve today? Yes!
Please read on....LOL

1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments

Cows
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow

The Constitution
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The 10 Commandments
The real reason that we cannot have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.
PART OF THE PROBLEM

California Special Election May 19

It is a very unfortunate situation that California and other states are in. May 19, Special election is the Legislatures first attempt at putting Cali back on sure footing. Sorry to say that I thing that this is on a First effort. Like most of Measure 1A it is more about raising taxes and playing a "shell game" with current and supposed revenue. There is not much talks of Cuts, like the Cuts our family is making.
We live in California Congressional District 4 and our Congressman is Tom McClintock, we appreciate him on many fronts. Click on McClintock on the Propositions to see his take. I so far am in agreement with him on all but 1F. At this link there were currently 2 Comments before I made mine. Here is what I said in response to the Prop 1F

I am in agreement with most positions, except 1F. I am not going to vote against a good principle out of fear on a representative going out on the line to increasing taxes on the constituents for his/her own raise. Yes, maybe the voters are not paying attention (like now) and the representative will get away with raising taxes to balance the budget and assure their own pay raise, but this is where we need to make out votes count and hold them accountable when they do such a thing. If they show irresponsibility and this "ultimately end(s) up as a perverse incentive for legislators to pass higher and higher taxes in order to qualify for higher and higher salaries." as Tom states then they need to be voted out of office. If the people will not hold the leaders accountable, we get what we deserve.

You do not need to "weighing in" at that site, but I would appreciate any comments here to help me decide. If you have any thoughts that you can comment here or e-mail, I would appreciate it.

Exclusive Interview with Mike Huckabee

Mike Huckabee was the guest of honor Wednesday night, at a dinner at the Visalia Convention Center.

Thursday is the National Day of Prayer. Huckabee is a Baptist minister and the keynote speaker at the mayor's prayer breakfast in Visalia.

In 2008, the former Governor of Arkansas made a run for the White House and almost won the GOP bid. When asked about another run for office, Huckabee said "It's hard to say, I'm not trying to be evasive I just don't know."

When it comes to political issues in the valley, Huckabee does not hold back. "What is that fish we are trying to protect - the Delta Smelt? Why is that more important than a 8-year-old kid that needs food."

As a political commentator, Huckabee says he is happy with life. He has a television show, daily radio commentaries and a new book titled "Do the Right Thing."

Mike Pence Denounces Hate Crimes Bill

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence gave the following speech on the floor of the U.S. House during debate on H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009:



Original can be found a Mike Pence Site

Protect The Constitution

On April 29, 2009, with a vote of 249-175, the House passed the Hate Crimes bill. It will now move on to the Senate. It now moves to the Senate, and if passed there, President Obama may sign it into Law as promised.

I believe that this legislation is an opposition to the Constitution, namely the 1st and 14th Amendments.

If you would like to make your voice heard to your Congress members, whether it is for or against the legislation, click on the link below to find your Senators.

Make you voice heard to your Senators

The “Point of View” site, is highlighting the attack that it would be on the Christian Pastor and community, and I believe that the leaders of the other religions that have beliefs that differ from a new protected class of people, would also be considered for punishment under this law. But it while I believe the Christian and the beliefs may suffer it is about the attack on the Constitution that drives me to voice an opinion against this legislation. I know that being persecuted for ones beliefs is common and even promised in the Bible that it will happen, but I really hope the citizens of the United states at this moment can rise up and protect the Constriction.
There is a generic message in opposition that you can edit as you like. The following is what I said to our Senators Barbara Boxer & Dianne Feinstein.

Dear Senators Boxer & Feinstein,
I have been fortunate to have received communications from both of you in the past in regards to issues that affect the people of our state and the United States. I appreciate your responses and your efforts as a state representative in the Senate. As one of your constituents, I urge you to oppose the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 or any other “hate crime” legislation. The passage of this bill and the signing into law by the President would violate the 14th Amendment by denying equal protection under the law for all citizens by creating a special class of individuals. It would also put into disregard the 1st Amendment. This is a bill in opposition to the Constitution and I ask that you voice opposition to it as a representative of my family and myself.

Accepting Our Money Back
House Chamber, Washington D.C. April 21, 2009. Mr. Speaker: Many Americans have been shocked in recent days to learn that banks seeking to repay TARP money have been told the treasury will not allow them to do so. Taxpayers were promised that this money was only to be used to buy up toxic assets and that it would be repaid to the treasury as soon as humanly possible.

Inspired by Tea Parties

The following is a speech that was given at the Tax Day Tea Party protest in Philadelphia.

Jesse Civello is sixteen years old. He is a student at Cheltenham High School in the Philadelphia area. His dream is to one day become a United States Senator.
I can only hope.

****************************************************************************

Jesse Civello -- Tea Party Remarks Philadelphia, April 15, 2009

My fellow patriots, the clouds of socialism have reached our horizon. The passion of freedom has been shaken, and the voice of democracy has released its call.

The patriotic warning of a government too big. The resonating voice of a nation unheard. And the squalor of an administration too concerned with bailouts to see a revolution brewing.

What are We the People to do, when it seems the power players have yet to listen? What are We the People to do when our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has become a disappearing dream?

My friends, the answers lie in the rich history of these fifty United States of America that we call home. We will turn the pages of history in our quest to write our own, and on that journey we will discover the passion of our founding fathers and the resolve of our independence.

The year was 1776 and the day was the Fourth of July. It was a hot July day in the city of Philadelphia and our founding fathers had just adopted the Declaration of Independence. The radical thought of independence was spreading across the thirteen colonies and the signal for revolution had been issued. The armed American Revolution lasted 8 years, in which more than 25,000 Americans perished under the banner of revolution. Today, I stand before you on the same streets of freedom that our founding fathers have marked, and with the most pride and prejudice I declare that, today, we make history under the same banner of revolution of which our past brothers and sisters have fought, and together we can put an end to the silenced majority.

Our revolution is not an armed conflict. Quite the contrary. Our revolution is a peaceful, yet powerful signal to our neighbors, to our leaders, and to the world, a signal that the American people will no longer sit back and watch the debt of our country soar well over 11 trillion dollars, without the transparency that the American people deserve when it comes to our tax dollars.

When Congress decided to bail out the auto industry, the American people had no say. When Congress decided to bail out Wall Street, the American people had no input. It's time now that the political leaders of our country extend that courtesy--and frankly the right--to the people, so that We the People can decide where our tax dollars are going.

When Congress decided to Recover and Reinvest in America, with President Obama’s economic stimulus package, the American people once again had no voice. The problem lies right within the title of the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.” The problem is that the leaders of our country stopped investing in the American people years ago, and now all of the sudden they believe they can reinvest with the single largest expenditure in American history, towering at 787 billion dollars. I stand here and I say "no, absolutely not." Not on our watch. Not on our dollar.

When the leaders of country stopped listening to us, they stopped investing.

When the President signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, he proved he wasn’t willing to listen. Now, when the leaders of our country ask the people to submit to the undue burden of unconscionable spending, we are here to rise up and say "no, absolutely not." Not on our watch. Not on our dollar.

To be naïve enough to believe that reinvesting in the American people now after ignoring our cries will change the economic situation is simply idiotic. Let us once again go back in history and discover the path to a true recovery.

(Video Link Below Starts here)
We start with our founding fathers. They understood the meaning of a consistent investment in the patriots of America, the American dream, and the future of the American people.

They realized that, by encouraging the spirit of the American dream to soar high, entrepreneurship would lead America to the head of the line. Currently, we continue to battle small business owners with over-taxation and laws that make the spirit of competitiveness unrealistic.

We need to understand that America is the greatest country in the world, not because we have fifty states and fifty capitals but because we had a spirit that led to hard work above all, a determination to succeed against all odds, and the support of a government who realized the beauty of all American people from all walks of life.

The solution we seek from our founding fathers is this: encourage the worker to work for himself and find success, tax only what is necessary, and the worker will give back to the American dream with ingenuity what they aren’t forced to give back in taxes. Allow the small business owner to accomplish their dreams without the shadow of big government, and I promise that America will once again recover. The American spirit of greatness is stronger than the shadow of big government.

When in the history of our great country did our leaders stop listening to the people? The answer is simple: our leaders stopped listening when they realized that when people are silent, they can get away with greed and excessive power. The government has learned to silence the people with fear and determination; they have made us believe that 787 billion dollars of tax payer money is the only way to American recovery. Once again, history shows quite the contrary.

I tell the Obama administration, from the truths of history, to open the doors to the American people so that the solutions of today can be the American solutions of tomorrow and not the ownership of foreign countries through our debt.

Listen to what we are saying today and tomorrow, and together we will find the solutions. Right now, we are stuck in the middle of an economic situation what has turned crisis because government has become blind to the individual American and instead has turned to special interest groups who whisper the tales of the necessity of big government spending. The truth of the matter is that, if the Obama administration decides to reverse its policy of shutting out the voice of the people, America can tomorrow be greater than ever before. I plead the right of the people to talk, the obligation of the government to listen, and action of the country to move forward.

The Obama administration needs to stop investing with American dollars and start reinvesting in the American people, with an honest and transparent government that welcomes the concerns and suggestions of the American people.

It’s time our government has reexamined the concerns of its people, and the truths of our convictions.

It's time the government listens to the people talk. The time has come for the government to truly follow its creed of public service and be fiscally responsible, morally approachable, and free from the chains of politics.

I have no doubt that we will rise above the politics of our current situation. Today, we show the leaders of our country that, on April 15, 2009, people from all walks of life came together across the country to protest the irresponsible spending of their tax dollars, starting a revolutionary movement to declare that people must have a say in their government. Today, we stand and say, "no, absolutely not." Not on our watch. Not on our dollar.

I pray the ignorance that surrounds Washington, D.C. will be swept away and the reform of people above politics will take hold.

Thank you, and God Bless America!
