Anyone that’s ever been in or around politics knows that candidates have to answer a lot of questionnaires.
Additionally, there are probing questions that in some cases the media has a responsibility to ask on behalf of the public whose interest they are charged with representing and reporting.
But when it comes to the Office of the President, and specifically this one, there are a number of questions that the American public has no idea what he thinks or how he would respond. And regrettably, the media has ostensibly surrendered its role to be the investigative agent of the public.
So, as a start, here are a just a few questions that “We the People,” would like to know the answers to:
1.Which of the Founding Fathers do you admire, and why?
2.Why have you sealed all the records of your past? What does this say about you?
3.Why did you feel obligated to go around the world apologizing for what you perceive to be the sins of America’s past?
I recommend you cancel your membership immediately. The organization is a waste of time and misleading to say the least.
The AARP is no longer one of my support systems and no longer provides me with news about senior living and senior discounts. I canceled my membership a year ago and asked them to remove me from their list. It is my personal opinion that this organization is all about the money. I have always found better rates than the AARP "big Senior discounts" by researching on my own . For example; I used my AARP member number for a discount from Hartford of auto & home owners insurance only to find out a year later that I could get it cheaper through a local agent. And, they support big liberal causes. So, why do I want to be a member?
AARP supports the circumvention of the United States Senate process of certifying a new Medicare appointee. Obama, in a period of Senate recess this week, appointed a new Chief Administrator without notifying the Senate.
What many Americans have feared for years may be about to come to pass. We have an out of control Congress and an arrogant, elitist President who believes it his destiny to transform the United States from a republic to a socialist system of government where individual freedoms are severely restricted. Congress is preparing to give the President and his Executive Branch of government what amounts to dictatorial powers over one-sixth of our economy and the private health care decisions of everyone who lives in the United States.
Congress is not only going to pass legislation that will severely damage the balance of power established in the Constitution by our founding fathers, but it is going to go about in a manner that violates Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution. Among other things, that article provides for each law passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate to be then sent to the President for his signature. The key word here is “passed”. It appears that there are not enough votes in the House to pass the Senate version of the health care bill so House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will continue to show her distain for both the American people and the Constitution by ignoring Article 1, Section 7 of one of our most sacred documents and send the bill to the President for his signature without an actual vote on it in the House.
Instead she will use something being referred to as the “Slaughter Solution” named after Louise Slaughter, a member of the House from upstate New York who proposed that the idea be used to avoid a formal vote. This is also referred to as the “self executing” or “deeming” rule. The members of Congress will be allowed to vote to change the rules and authorize Pelosi to deem the Senate version of the Bill passed and send it to Obama to be signed into law. The fact that this ploy has been used in the past with other much less important legislation does not make it Constitutional. This action also allows the members of Congress to avoid another “troublesome” provision of our Constitution, Article 1, Section 5, that allows one fifth of the members of the House present to demand that the vote on any piece of legislation be recorded so the American people can know how their elected representatives voted.
The theory is that members of the House who live in districts where the majority of people oppose the health care legislation can go back to their districts and say that they did not vote for the bill. Instead, they will have just voted for a rule change. Of course, this ruse also makes the elitist assumption that “we the people” are too dumb to know that a vote to change the rules to allow the health care bill to go forward is the same as a direct vote for the legislation. By the way, if you want to read the new version of this legislation, forget it. Even though the vote to send it to Obama is scheduled to take place in just a few days, the text of the bill has not yet been made available to members of Congress or the American people.
The magnitude of this is almost incomprehensible. Nancy Pelosi and the leadership in the House of Representatives are telling us four things.
First and foremost, we are being told that members of Congress will no longer abide by the Constitution of the United States and are thereby violating their oath of office.
Second, members of Congress will no longer be representing the will of the American people who elected them but instead are representing the will of President Obama and his vision of a socialist America.
Third, members of Congress are done with allowing the American people to even participate in the process. Everything will be done in secret and your right to know what is being done to you will be ignored.
Last, but not least, members of Congress have concluded that we are not bright enough to know what is happening anyway so they think we will reelect them and be grateful for all they have done for us.
I just have this to say to President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the other current “leaders” of our country. Over 230 years ago an English King and Parliament made similar assumptions about a group of people who called themselves Americans. Those assumptions were wrong and things did not end well for those who underestimated the passion of Americans to be a free people. If you continue on this course it will not end well for you either. To this I pledge my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor, as did my forefathers before me.
It is not too late to stop this abomination. Contact members of Congress now and tell them that you are not fooled and consider a vote for the Slaughter Solution to be a vote for the unconstitutional health care bill. You should further inform them that you consider such a vote to be a violation of their oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States and you will hold them accountable on Election Day.
For my part, I talked to Gary Kreep at the U.S. Justice Foundation today and we are already preparing the lawsuit that will challenge the Constitutionality of the passage of the health care bill under the “Slaughter Solution” and on other Constitutional grounds. If you want to contribute to this effort you can go to the U.S. Justice Foundation Website at: www.usjf.net. The fight to defend our freedom is not over, it is just beginning.
Did Obama stop the new permitting of all offshore drilling because he wanted to increase our imports of OPEC oil? If so, why would he do such a thing?
When I watch and read the news about the BP Gulf oil spill; I question his lack of a real and effective response to getting it stopped and cleaned up. I kept thinking - this guy is just inept! He has no real leadership capabilities that in most men, normally emanate from a background of many experiences. But, that's not it. There are plenty of people around the country that can facilitate the clean up. So, I'm thinking, what's motivating his lack of response and inaction? It's just bizarre behavior for a president - right?
So, I'm responding to an article someone wrote about Elena Kagan's support of Sharia Compliant Finance at Harvard, and it dawn's on me - Obama is a Muslim! He is not a Christian as he claimed during the campaign. His every move and decision is being shadowed by Islam and Muslims everywhere, including those he bowed to in Saudi Arabia. Obama's agenda will increase Islamic influence in America and worldwide. Reducing oil production in the United States of America will make us more and more captive to Islamic rule.
Pay close attention to “The Muslim Brotherhood”. This organization is very real, very big, very wealthy, extreme OIL wealth, and is world dominance bound. It is their one and only goal. I would encourage all Americans to read Muslim Mafia. We (natural born Americans) are in for the battle of our lives and it’s already going on all over the country; especially in Dearborn, Michigan where the Police are arresting Christians for handing out literature on public streets. The Mayor is ignoring civil rights violations and the Police Chief (a Muslim) is enforcing Sharia like laws which violate the US Constitution. The FBI and Dept. of Justice have yet to act.
Obama lied to get into office by saying he was Christian. There is so much evidence that he is truly acting out his Fathers religion - Islam. The religion of lies! His agenda is giving all Muslims hope that they will be the dominant religion in America soon. And, I mean DOMINATE – not just majority! Christians and Jews all over America will start seeing the results of Sharia influence just as those in Dearborn are now seeing it. Political correctness is making it happen. Tolerance is the operative word rather than assimilation. It is against the Muslim belief system to assimilate. Even the peaceful ones (including natural born) will only become American on paper- not in their nature. They cling to the belief that Islam is the only religion that Allah will tolerate and accept.
Notice that I didn’t say God. Allah is not the Christian or Jewish God; creator of all. Many tolerant Christians are buying into the idea that we all basically worship the same God, but we go about it differently. If you buy into that ideal, you’ll buy into the creeping cancer that Islam brings into the lives of its Muslim members and then into America.
