The Time Has Indeed Come! 

Governors of 35 states have already filed suit against the Federal  Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of  the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. 
 
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please  pass it on.

An idea whose time has come!

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress.  Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the  same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves  from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any  fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.

The latest was to exempt themselves from the  Healthcare Reform … in all of its forms.

Somehow, that doesn’t seem  logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. 

I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or  whatever. The self-serving must stop!

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded  it. That was in 1971…before computers, before e-mail, before cell  phones, etc.  to become the law of the land…all because of public pressure. 
 
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the  message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United  States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the  Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."

I’m asking each reader to forward this link to a minimum of twenty  people on their Address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

I don’t know who authored this, but it makes you think. I believe Arizona is forcing our representatives in Washington to address an issue that is long overdue to be addressed.

The vandalism of Democratic locations around the country by disgruntled zealots incited by Right Wing Conservative talk radio hosts unhappy with  Health Care Reform is totally unacceptable.

Our history as a country is to voice our opposition with vigor and intensity. Peaceful protest marches, billboards, bumper stickers, and TV & Radio advertising draw attention to our points of view.

Violence of any kind is uncalled for.

Talk with your vote!

Let us remember that we as a country including Independents, Republicans,Conservatives opened the door and even helped to put the Democrats in control.

The message needs to be clear the Democratic agenda and their priorities  need to be reevaluated when we next vote.

I just cant figure out how Health Care reform trumped “Job” creation in the agenda. Can you?

How do you buy Health insurance if you don’t have a job.

I suggest that the Tea Party put  their efforts into filling the void being created by the long over due demise of ACORN!

An adjustment in the GOP Platform and agenda is being called for loud and clear also. It’s up to them to make it happen. We need them to be paying attention to our middle class and the American Dream. If they don’t the we can look forward to 4 more years of what we have now.

Barney Frank (D-MA) Chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services is demanding the large banks involved in the 2nd mortgage market write down the value of these liens, so investors in the 1st mortgages can write down their investments and move on.

Sounds good! Doesn’t it?

See the letter here at the wsj online. Barney’s letter to banks

The problem is Barney fought to have the “Mark to Market” accounting rule eliminated. So how do the 2nd mortgage get written down now?

View Barney’s history in the Housing, Mortgage and Financial Crisis here A Conspiracy of Imbeciles

After you read about his involvement you’ll better understand how these people in our Congress keep themselves employed and our country screwed up.

It’s might be a good thing for all of us to figure out but I doubt it.

This is how it works!

“Create  an issue or program we know nothing about, make it a law,  Americans spend the next 20 years suffering from the consequences of the original action and then try to piecemeal a fix to the mess so as not to offend  the special interest groups the program was designed specifically for.”

Are we ready for Health Care Reform?

This is Barney term after term. See Barney’s Record Here

We need more help from the voters in Massachusetts’s 4^th District.

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) from Harlem, announced Wednesday he will temporarily step down as Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, saying he didn’t want his ethics controversy to jeopardize election prospects for fellow Democrats.

All I have to say is “It’s about time”.  We really don’t need him guiding and molding tax legislation any longer. Hopefully he is on his way to full resignation from the House of Representatives. It’s time for the people in Harlem to start looking for their next Rep!

Rangel’s poppas attitude toward ethics and full financial disclosure as well as his lack of respect for the oath he took is another good argument for term limits. Rangel’s Record

Kudos to the House Ethics Committee.

Question – Who should be next to step down?

I have an idea! Representative Barney Frank (D-MA)?
