05-30-10  - "PISSED OFF PARTY"

*New Political Party.* *Not Democrat, Not Republican, Not Independent.* *It's called the "PISSED OFF PARTY" (or POP).* *This party is dedicated to vote every incumbent out of office in the next elections.* *If you're Democrat, vote Democrat. Just don't vote for the incumbent.* *If you're Republican, vote Republican. Just don't vote for the incumbent.* *We need to send a message to all politicians, that we're tired of their B.S.* *If the country votes out all the incumbents, the new incoming politicians will get the message..* *It's pretty simple. Nobody needs to change parties and let's face it, there's plenty of blame to spread around.* *A few good politicians will lose their job but they probably have better retirement and insurance then 95% of the American public.* *You've had to struggle for the last 5 years. Some of you have lost your job and may be working in some other sector just to feed your family.* *I guarantee you, none of them will suffer like this country has.* *If you like whats going on and think this is a bad idea, delete this.* *But if you're fed up and think this is a good idea, then pass this E-mail on.* *If you really think this has legs, then a website and a blog could help get the word out.* *To All 535 voting members of the Legislature; it is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:* *a.. The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.* *b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.* *c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.* *d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.* *e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.* *f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.* *g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.* *You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.* *AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM? * *IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NEED FOR GOOD HEALTH CARE, IT'S ABOUT TRUSTING THE GOVERNMENT TO RUN IT!*

05-28-10  - Congressional Reform Act of 2010

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 move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. 4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 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 by 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. 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.

05-26-10  - Memorial Day; It is The VETERAN

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble. It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the VETERAN, not the politician, Who has given us the right to vote. It is the VETERAN who salutes the Flag, It is the VETERAN who serves under the Flag, ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM. I'd be EXTREMELY proud if this email reached as many as possible. We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve. God Bless them all!!!
