Men with Selfish Ambition...

It's a shame that men with selfish ambition have turned our (U.S.) Constitution into what it is today...Yes, the original words and meaning remain intact, but certain people have decided they know better than others what the authors' "original intent" was. I'm a little afraid that this "beast" is so out of control that it can never again be contained...We were supposed to be able to trust the people we put in power to "protect and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic"...I guess they forgot to include themselves when they took the oath...Of course, we (the citizens of the U.S.) are the main culprits to blame for all of this...We've sat idly by while little by little our liberty, freedom, and moral rights have been taken from us without a word in protest. Are there enough people left who believe in what the forefathers stood for?...Are there ANY elected officials who actually believe that "we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights"?...Are there ANY elected officials who actually believe in a "creator"?...

I went to a 912 Project meeting last night. I heard a gentleman by the name of Chris McDaniel speak. He is the state senator that represents my district in Mississippi...Patriot and Statesman are words that come to mind to describe him, at least the words that I heard him speak...I thought as I was sitting there, Wow...It wouldn't take long to get this country back to where it was, if we just had people in office who actually cared about doing what was best for this country rather than how to best further their career, pad their financial statement, and stay in office until retirement...In 2008, Lobbyists spent an average of $32,523 per legislator per day...Our congressmen already make $174,000.00 a year, with automatic pay raises every year. Is this not enough?...Does this sound like there are officials in Washington that can't be bought?...Will this wake you up to the fact that the U.S. is being sold to the highest bidder every year?...When will "legal bribes" end?...Why is this practice accepted as the norm?...Questions, such as these, should be flooding the call center in Washington every day, until they finally get the idea that we are fed up with this type of behavior.

I call on every American, that loves our country and wants to see her brought back to be everything the original frame workers of the constitution envisioned, to take action and do something about this problem. It's up to you...Our elected officials will continue this lunacy until our country is gone. We must take it back. Do your homework and actively campaign against those who do not have the best interest of your community, state, and nation at heart...

If we fail, there is no one to blame but ourselves...We put the officials there...It's now time to replace them...

Yesterday is a day that I am especially proud of...Hundreds of thousands of people all across the nation came together for "Tea Parties" that are designed, with the original Boston Tea Party in mind, to express the outrage of the American people about the unbelievably out of control tax problem that has gripped our nation for far too long...The so called "Millionaires Tax", which for some unknown reason starts at $300,000.00 (Congressional Math), is unbelievably unfair...We need a flat tax, somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-15%, in my opinion...This tax would include EVERYONE, regardless of income...The flat tax, based on percentage, is the ONLY fair way to tax the American people...Budgets that call for more spending than we're taking in are S-T-U-P-I-D...Do you hear me Obama and the rest of congress???...Wake up!...You're living in a world where reality doesn't exist...But the American people are the ones paying for it...NO MORE!...We are not being properly represented in Washington by most of our elected officials...

Let me say, on a personal note, that I would like to add term limits to the discussion...I'm tired of the "better than you" crowd that seems to run Washington D.C. year in, year out with no regard for the common man...Their complete and totally out of control disdain for the American people is reprehensible...A 5 term limit for the House of Representatives and a 2 term limit for the Senate, in my opinion, would best serve all...Not only would the "bad" senators and representatives be pushed out if the voters made a bad judgement call, but no "dynasty" could be created that basically lets the established Kings and Lords of the land rule for life (Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Robert Byrd, et al...)

This quote, probably better than any I've ever seen, sums up my current feeling about our current crop of elected officials:

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of
servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in
peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands
which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget
that you were our countrymen."

-Samuel Adams

Term Limits Now!!...
