You Just Can't Polish A Turd
Congress - both the Senate and the House of Representatives - has been giving off an odiferous stink for decades. It may be much stronger now, but it's been there for a while. The reason? Almost everyone who resides there is a piece of crap. And as long as the rules stay the same, there is little chance of it changing from crap to the golden egg. So here's a fix that will create significant and meaningful change, and get the country back on course. This is how you fix Congress!
The "Congressional Reform Act of 2010".
It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I know many of you will say, "This is impossible". Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress - the entity that represents us.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your
term(s), then go home and back to work.
We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American hero's...
1. Term Limits:
12 years only, one of the possible options below.
A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. Six Two year House terms
C. One Six year Senate term and three Two Year House terms
2. No Tenure /No Pension:
A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
This suggestion is being circulated on email as well, so millions of Americans will undoubtedly see it. We have witnessed how powerful the voices of the people can be. We delayed Obamacare to the point that it is no longer a viable bill as it is written. We have caused the retirement of many Senators and some Representatives because of the message we've been sending. There is much more to do, but why not start here?
So, what do you think America? Can we get this introduced in Congress? We have a huge opportunity with the 2010 elections to sweep in enough new blood that it's possible. Imagine what that would do for the morale of the country! Imagine what that would do to prevent "congressional special interest" from eroding the integrity of those institutions! Congress voted these things in, so they can be reversed and voted out. Let's get to work on it!

The Power Of God; Do You Believe In Miracles Yet?
I'm not one of those "holier than thou" types, but I do believe in God and I do believe in miracles. You see, I've been personally affected by God's hand at times in my life.
So, do you think he's been watching what's been going on down here? Let's review...
There was the universal call to legislate industry under the guise of Global Warming, ahem, Climate Change. First, the report used to support the contentions of Al Gore et al were found to be manipulated and misrepresented the whole truth. That wasn't enough to expose the hoax and derail the machine, so God, in his infinite wisdom decided to provide a personal demonstration of just how much of a hoax it is by creating a world-wide two week deep freeze. And to put the perverbial cherry on top of the sundae, it has recently been exposed that there have been written reports of polar icecap thawing from nearly 100 years ago - exposing the claim of climate change, an ambiguous term at best, for what it is; part of the cycle of the Earth's life. Unable to be controlled or affected by mankind, or any other life form on earth. The Earth will take care of itself - it has for millions, perhaps billions, of years.
Then, when Americans were being force fed a socialist agenda against their will, and against the Constitution; when Americans were being controlled by a government with a Democratic majority pushing an agressive progressive agenda; when the Senate seat in the bluest of blue states was up for election and held the fate of the Democrat super-majority and no one could see that seat falling to the Republicans (it had been held by a Kennedy since 1952!), God took a hand in matters once again and allowed Scott Brown to come from 30 points down in a month to take the seat, eliminate the super-majority, and derail healthcare in it's current form.
So, in just the last month, we've seen the dramatic hand of God in our lives - exposing the agendas of power-hungry men and women. Men and women who seek fame and fortune, and do so on a foundation of lies.
This is why our Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights, and our very formation as a nantion, were founded in God. This is why we need to give God visibility in our lives - in our schools, in our televison programs, in our literture, in our courts and in our government buildings. It's time to take God back out of the closet, time to let Him sit at our table once again. It's time for Americans to be unashamed of their shared belief in God, and unafraid to discuss Him openly. And to fight for His presence in the most basic institutions we have.
He has shown us once again that "We the People" do have a powerful voice, and what we want, we can have. We just need to speak up!

Caution! We're About To Get Caught In The Spin Cycle
Undoubtedly you have been watching the news with rapt attention since Scott Brown won the Massachusetts special election. But have you realized what you have been hearing. Once again the proffessional (your Congressmen and women and the media) spin doctors are throwing around the terms Republican nad Democrat. The Progressives have not thrown in the towel, they are trying to divert our attention from the fact that both Parties contain Progressives. Don't get caught up in that spin! For the past 15 months this fight has been, and must continue to be, about a more Conservative America versus the Progressives. Don't lose sight of that fact no matter what you see or hear.
Here's a good example: John McCain. He has attached his political star to Sarah Palin, who, I must admit, has confounded me with her association with McCain seeing that he is a Progressive Republican clearly on the progressive side of the agenda. And now he has attached his star to Scott Brown. Well, you can't say McCain isn't a survivor - he's been that his whole life. But he is part of the problem, make no mistake about that.
You're also going to see the left start moderating to the right - including Obama. They haven't changed! They are all chameleons, currently wearing the color of survival. Don't be fooled.
You've woken up America, now stay awake! Get up, there's work to do!!

The Obama Experiment; They Still Don't Have A Clue
The Obama administration is still playing the blame game. They can not take responsibility for anything that goes wrong. This was evidenced last when, once again last night, the administration was blaming everyone and everything but themselves for the Coakley loss to Brown. And they still claim that the current problems in this country have nothing to do with them, and everything to do with "the sins of the past" and in particular with the policies of the Bush Administration.
It amazes me, that a group of individuals who are allegedly politically savvy, can not recognize that the anger sweeping the nation has everything to do with them - how fast and how far left they have tried to take this country, the level of arrogance they have demonstrated, the scope of the corruption they have engaged in, and that they have engaged in it as if it were normal.
They will tell you that it's always been that way. And maybe it has been that way for the past 60 years or so, but that doesn't make it right. And just because we were ignorant of the fact that it was going on, does not mean we condone the behavior. We are woefully aware now, and we will not put up with it any longer. We do not trust "politics as usual" - never mind leftist, socialist politics. We are looking for honorable Americans, who have character, integrity and a vision to re-establish our greatness. We are not looking for change for the sake of change. We are not looking for anyone who would consciously and willfully diminish our greatness.
The Obama Experiment has ended. His attempt to socialize this nation, and to re-distribute wealth to those who have not earned it - whether in this country or abroad - is coming to an end. Obama, and his administration, still do not have a clue. They can not transition from a machine geared towards socializing America to a unit that will create new greatness for America. It's not who they are. It's not what they believe. It's not what they want. But if they try to snow us into believing that it is, they will come off as hollow and insincere. Stay focused America. Stay vigilant. Most politicians in Washington are NOT our friends, regardless of what they will pretend to believe from this point out. Research your individual Senators and Representatives. See how they have voted in the past. Progressives from EVERY party must be voted out of any position of power.

Political Earthquake Hits Massachusetts
In a stunning upset, and in true political drama, Scott Brown was swept into office by Republicans, Independents, and yes, even some Democrats on Tuesday! The message is clear. We the people OWN the Senate. Not the Senators who occupy a seat there, not the lobbyists who spend billions of dollars there, Not Harry Reid, and no President - particularly this one. We have witnessed the power of the people in action - perhaps for the first time in my lifetime - and I for one am feeling mighty fine about being part of "we the people" and wielding that power.
Now I can say, NEVER have I been so proud of my country. The Massachusetts results are just another step we have taken in our efforts to take our country back. I imagine we will see significant back-pedalling from some of our elected officials. Remember what they have done in the past. Don't allow them to hide in sheep's clothing. They are still part of the problem, even if they attempt to change (or hide) their stripes.
Thank you Massachusetts for doing the right thing for America!

Come On Massachusetts!
Twelve hours from now we will know the fate of the Obama Administration. If Scott Brown gets elected, it will largely derail the Democratic juggernaut that has been trying to steam roll over us for the past 12 months. It is so satisfying to see so many Americans engaged politically now. If nothing else, Obama was instumental in bringing about THAT change. Go Massachusetts!
You're Awake America, Time To Get To Work!

This From Newsmax
Well isn't this exciting! A couple of days to go, and Brown is still holding his own in Massachusetts. I personally know registered Democrats who will NOT vote for Coakley - they'll be voting for Brown. That's amazing coming from the People's Republic of Massachusetts - arguably the most liberal state in America. Here's some recent polling data that puts Brown in the lead...
Poll: Brown Leads Coakley By 3 Points Saturday, 16 Jan 2010 07:45 PM Republican Scott Brown leads Democrat Martha Coakley 48 percent to 45 percent in the special Massachusetts U.S. Senate race to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy in a telephone survey conducted Jan. 12-14 among 600 likely voters in Massachusetts saying they will definitely vote in the special election on Jan. 19. Brown leads Coakley 94 percent to 1 percent among registered Republicans and he leads 58 percent to 37 percent among unenrolled voters. Coakley leads Brown 71 percent to 20 percent among registered Democrats. A total of 8 percent of Democrats and 5 percent of Republicans remain undecided. Brown leads 54 percent to 39 percent among men while Coakley leads 50 percent to 44 percent among women. Brown leads 52 percent to 42 percent among likely voters age 18 to 49 and Coakley leads 47 percent to 46 percent among voters 50 and older. A total of 9 percent of likely voters say they have already voted by absentee ballot, with Brown leading Coakley 58 percent to 42 percent.
You're Waking UP America!!
