We need to call the house and the senate and let them know our wishes

 Obama has asked people to call, so I would recommend we all do so to say either no do not raise the debt ceiling or that we want cut, cap and balance passed since this is the only bill that will prevent a credit downgrade.

 

Here are the Washington numbers:

John Boehner 202-225-6205

Eric Cantor 202-225-2815

Senator Bill Nelson 202-224-5274

Senator Marco Rubio 202-224-3041

Ander Crenshaw 202-225-2501

 

We need to make some calls…

We like Senator Obama better

We have a leadership failure in DC.  Enough is enough. 

 

If you did not have a chance to hear Obama last night, you can read his speech here:  Obama's Debt Speech Text and then you can read Boehner's rebuttal here:  Boehner's Debt…

Where can we find mention of this SUPER CONGRESS in the Constitution?????

I have no idea what these folks can be thinking.  There is no so called super congress and they have no authority at all.  They certainly do not bind anyone to anything and until and as such there is a constitutional amendment to provide such a body, they have no authority to form one nor does that body if formed have any authority.  Everyone in Washington has gone round the bend totally!

Morning Examiner: There is no risk of default

In a nut shell, there is no risk of default as long as tax cheat Timmy pays the debt as he should with the money coming in and then, pays our other OBLIGATIONS ahead of the big government waste programs.  It is just that simple; default talk is all about scaring those Americans who have no idea at all what is going on to gain votes for himself, Obama!

The debt we owe!

Have you ever wondered what happens when you take the challenge to run an alpine slide from top to bottom with no brakes in an attempt to set a new course record? Now consider that you have never run the course before and have no experience running / sliding down mountains on plastic lugeway 's or concrete. It hurts because sooner or later the unexpected happens the equipment is not right, the person riding the sled is oversized for the sled, the speed is too fast for the design of the…

America is calling

The morning is still dark as I write to you today.  The rooster is crowing.  Crickets can be heard.  Birds are chirping.  The chorus of God’s creatures is announcing the rising of the sun over America once again.  Today will mark almost 86,000 sunrises since America was born on July 4, 1776. 

 

During those 235 years of her existence, she has called out for help to save her through wars,…

FOX & ABC: RNC Asks for Federal Probe of Obama Campaign Video

There really is no limit to the liberties Mr. Obama will take, legal or not, and this is yet another example of the lengths he will go to.  The video used for his fund raising efforts in this video was taken in the map room of the white house which is definitely off limits since it is paid for by the taxpayers and can't be used in any way for his campaign efforts.  What should be of real concern is that the news…

Note to my Rep and Senators.

I commended Speaker Boehner on dismissing BO's proposed $400B tax increase and strongly encouraged him to not agree to raising the debt limit and/or taxes in the following words:



I commend you on dismissing BO's proposed $400B tax increase. However, agreeing to a compromise with the Senate that includes any tax increase and/or raising the debt limit is just as infuriating to us voters. I want to remind you that until the 2010 elections the three legged "Captain UnAmerica" (Pelosi,…

Facebook: and the gate was slammed shut

A facebook friend posted this on my page.  She is ever so right, but most of us have never been there for the "free" corn to start with.  Maybe that is the problem in so far as the liberals are concerned.  We are not part of the socialist movement, because we never ever wanted the free corn to begin with!

Our Ultimate Weapon

B"H.

Regarding the organizers on the left, it was said - "THEY'RE WAY OUT AHEAD OF US." 

-implying a formidable entity to be dealt with.

But this emboldening thought crossed my mind -

As we go and as we do.....REMEMBER DAVID AND GOLIATH!!

We can take courage in studying and exemplifying David and his most important principle

(which is stated on our money). And this is ultimately our greatest weapon........

HOW TO FIX CONGRESS

 

 

AMENDMENT This speaks for itself. So feel free to do as you feel appropriate. The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests. - Patrick Henry -

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…

Contingency discussion

I think we should all start considering contingency plans. I will start with my ideas. We give all florida business the option to divert their fica taxes to the state. We pay for all current social security recipients as well as those getting ready to retire. For the upcoming generation we say we will no longer be withholding funds and we as parents teach personal responsibility. We get rid of property taxes and that way nobody gets kicked off their own property. We instead enact a flat tax… Continue

Our Awesome God

To all those who read my blogs, I could not write today.   The only thing I could do was pray.  Please forgive me if I am insulting you with my prayers.  My heart is heavy today and you were on my mind.  So, I prayed for you personally and for our blessed America.  Please take a moment and say a prayer for those who are hurting because of the politics of our nation.  Then, pray for our nation.  Because our God is an Awesome God.

Allen West: A real man who takes on a "lady"

Dear Debbie, you're 'vile, unprofessional, despicable & not a lady' -- Allen West

Tea Party hothead Allen West blew up at fellow Broward U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz for her acerbic take on the Republican "cut, cap and balance" plan. Schultz, the Democratic National Committee Chair, all but named West ("the gentleman from Florida") in her criticism of the budget-cutting plan, which she said ruined Medicare and…

The American Dream needs your help

As I’ve mentioned before most of us in the Tea Party Movement woke up from a sleepy dream to a real nightmare.  The dream was the American dream that we were chasing.  We were oblivious to the behind-the-scenes games being played with our lives by the political machines in DC and all over the world.

 

We were led to believe if you worked hard, paid your taxes and kept your nose clean,…

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
