The “stimulus plan”, the saviors tool to rescue the economy and so urgent it had to be voted on within hours after emerging from behind closed doors, was always meant for special interests and to buy votes at the November elections.

If you have a moment Id like you to take a look at the new credit laws put into place in 2010 that will be affecting this article. Might consider revision.

Jim, I’m pleased to see this new forum with you as chaiman. You have always worked quietly, sensibly and effectively to bring out the best for America, from legislators on both sides of the aisle.

I agree about both parties using us and not being all that different. Unless we go in numbers to our representatives offices (where they are present) or to the steps of the capitol (when they are in session) and demand that they come out and be accountable to our demands, we are wasting our time.

Both political parties have used us to join sides (R or D), spend money supporting them, and then fight each other while they sit in congress and line their pockets. We need to make it clear that we are demanding, as CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS NOT opposing parties, that our politicians reverse their actions and return to our constitution. REMOVE ALL CZARS AND THEIR SALARIES.

Sen. Talent:

As a community leader I want to offer my support and encouragement to your new endeavor. Those of us who are leaders at the local level have recently looked for leadership “up the line.” Unfortunately, we are having trouble finding it in some way, shape or form. Leadership requires courage, common sense AND common purpose. Hopefully this new organization will be able to support the positive change our citizens are craving.

Please consider the inclusion of leaders at the local level. We are DIRECTLY experiencing the affects of the down economy in our communities. We see the shuttered businesses and the lines at our local food pantries. The “Good Ol Boys” in D.C. have little, if any, realistic view of how public policy influences what happens at the local government level. We see, hear and personally experience it in our everyday encounters with citizens from our respective communities.

Best Of Luck!

Luana, you are correct that freedom can’t be obtained or kept without struggle, but IMHO you are putting your hope in the wrong place.
Voting in elections for federal office is a waste of time. Actually, it’s worse than a waste of time. No matter whom you voted for in the last presidential election, your vote will be used as evidence that President Obama has a mandate to rule over us. He might say something like, “X million Americans voted last year and I won. The American people have spoken. They want change; therefore, I am announcing today the federal takeover of all grocery stores. Food is too important to be left to the whims of greedy capitalists.”
Guess what: Your vote will be included in that “X million,” so you’ve helped Obama take away more of our freedom.
Yes, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King did “change things.” But they didn’t do it by voting. They did it by resisting the state, and by changing the hearts and minds of people.
Imagine a one-percent voter turnout in the next presidential election. Politicians would be cowering in the corners of their offices, wondering what the people were up to. What a great day that would be. Who knows, maybe they would even start obeying the Tenth Amendment.
“If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain.” That is simple-minded civics class baloney. The fact is that if you do vote, you have no right to complain, because you are lending legitimacy to this lame one-party system and helping the unconstitutional American state grow.
Be patriotic. Don’t vote!

I always thought the old saying was “power to the people” not power to the government. Let’s ask our officials to cut their own salaries to show they care & can sympathize with the “common” people. It’s easy for them to spend our money when they think of it as their own. It’s ours & let’s let them know it. Remember that other old saying? It’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. Stand up & squeak, squeak,squeak
