In the last 100 years we have fought some expensive wars and have tried to be big brother to the whole world.  Here's a few facts to contemplate.  I am having one of those "mad" days.  Les

KEEP THIS ONE GOING TILL NEXT ELECTIONS ARE DONE.  IT MAY BE OUR ONLY HOPE.

 We need to vote out all 545 and start all over.  This email should be passed on all over the USA.  Elections start next year, let us get them out!

We must be committed to a full legislative changing of the folks WHO ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK FOR US - instead of themselves.  WE NEED THE TABLET!!! (see below)

545 vs 300,000,000

EVERY  CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS  SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE.  READ IT  AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT  OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.

Charley  Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.

545  PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world  who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever  wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if  all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have  inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget.  The president does.

You and I don't have the  Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of  Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress  does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You  and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve  Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one  president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human  beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally,  and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague  this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve  Board because that problem was created by the  Congress.   In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty  to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central  bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a  sound reason.. They have no legal authority.  They have no  ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one  cotton-picking thing.   I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.  The  politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what  the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility  to determine  how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy  convincing you that what they did is not their fault.    They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What  separates a politician from a normal human being is an  excessive amount of gall.   No normal  human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating  deficits..   The president can only propose a budget.    He cannot force the Congress to accept  it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the  land, gives sole responsibility to the House of  Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.   Who is the speaker of the House?   Nancy Pelosi.  She is  the leader of the majority party.  She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want.  If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if  they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can  not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of  incompetence and irresponsibility.   I can't think of a  single domestic problem  that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.  When you fully  grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal  government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to  exist.
 
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it  unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in  the red ..

If the Army & Marines are in  IRAQ ,  it's because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not  receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available  to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no  insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift  the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can  abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to  regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can  take this power.   Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing  what they take an oath to do.
 
Those 545 people, and they  alone, are responsible.
 
They, and they alone, have the  power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the  people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the  gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of  them out of office and clean up their mess!

And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?
    
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!!  YOU can help it get there!!!
GO AHEAD - - - BE AN AMERICAN!!!

THE TTABLET>>>>>

TABLET(Take America Back Letter)                                      takeamericaback.org                                              My Elected Official,      I am deeply concerned that so many American citizens have lost faith and trust in their government.  This is due primarily to the rampant legal treason being committed against their best interests by individual members of our government to further their own careers and campaign contributions.     (You can find the definition of legal treason on takeamericaback.org to determine for yourself if you are guilty of it as well.)             As a member of the grassroots movement TakeAmericaBack.org, I have a list of legislation I wish for you to initiate, vote in favor of, or work to enforce.   I expect for you to accomplish this list before the end of your current term and will take great interest in your progress.  I am hopeful your patriotism will induce you to do what is best for our country. 

         However, if I am proved wrong about that assumption and you do not accomplish this list of legislation I will unfortunately be unable to vote for your re-election.

Legislative List To Accomplish

1)No amnesty for illegal aliens except for military service.

2)Actively and with vigor prosecute employers who hire illegal aliens.

3)Employers who hire papered aliens here on visa programs pay a 30% on hourly wage employment  tax.  Those funds go to the Small Business Administration to provide streamlined low interest loans for American citizens for business start up.

4)Repeal the law which makes the child of any alien born in the United States an American citizen as long as mother can make it across the border before birth.  This was enacted right after slavery was abolished to ensure that former slaves would be considered American citizens.  It has nothing to do with what is happening today.

5)Close tax incentives for business to move factories out of the country.

6)Declare any trade agreement violated by another country, or with any country that manipulates its currency to receive advantage, or with any country which subsidizes its industry which we compete with as null and void.

7)Set corporate tax levels at 15% for corporations wholly operated within the United States.  Set corporate taxes at 50% for multinationals.

8)Institute the flat tax.  Everyone pays the same rate regardless of income level. 

9)Set a cap on what Colleges and Universities can charge for tuition.  Tie it to federal funding requirements.  This together with #10 is a matter of national security.

10)Pass a law mandating the price of a college education is tied to the families income.  Different levels depending on the family income.   

11)Initiate universal healthcare by reducing cost and waste. Make health insurance affordable for every one.  What is happening to American families because of rising, out of control medical costs and insurance premiums is a national disgrace.  

12)Eliminate lobbyists representing "for profit" organizations ability to contact or influence legislators.  Make it a federal crime.  

13)Eliminate Congresses ability to attach earmarks to legislation or to add one piece of legislation to another.  Each bill is voted on its own merits.

14)Initiate term limits for Congress and the Senate.

15)Amend procedures of the Congress and Senates ethics committees.  They should be made up of average citizens randomly selected annually with unfettered access to any and all congressional meetings and offices.  They should report to the American people on the activities of Congress and the Senate weekly.

16)All campaigns for federal office are funded by government.  No outside funds or contributions. 

17)The Social Security funds payed in by taxpayers are are under no circumstance to be moved to the general fund.  Initiate a budget plan to replace over time all Social Security funds which have been misappropriated since inception.

18)Stop trying to reinterpret the 2nd amendment.  It says what it means and for a very good reason. 

19)Set up a committee of average citizens changed yearly which evaluates every proposed law for constitutionality and has the authority to reject any proposed law which doesn't pass muster.  This only requires common sense, not a legal degree.  As I recall, none of the writers or signers of the constitution had a legal degree.

20)Amend the constitution to require a balanced budget.  No more deficits, ever!

21)Immediately cut off all funding for none governmental social organizations.  If they are worthwhile organizations they can petition the American people directly for support.

22)Secure our borders and ports to the point that even a mouse couldn't illegally enter our country without being confronted.

23)Place two large banners (from floor to ceiling) on each side of the podium in the chambers of the Congress and Senate.  One is to contain a copy of the Declaration of Independence, the other is to contain a copy of the U.S. Constitution.  These are to remind legislators of the oath they have sworn to protect and preserve, word for word, these founding documents.  This oath did not include the words change, manipulate, reinterpret, or walk all over.

24)Outlaw dual citizenship.  Pick one country, renounce citizenship in the other.

The following is the 9/12 Project:

The Nine Principles

1. America is good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

The 12 values

Honesty
Reverence
Hope
Thrift
Humility
Charity
Sincerity
Moderation
Hard Work
Courage
Personal Responsibility
Gratitude
