“What you learn about America is people are a lot less interested in race than they are in character.”  Jackson believes that empowerment comes when you know who you are and what you stand for.

The Bible teaches us in Proverbs 13:22: “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.”

Instead, we have saddled our own kids with massive debt the second they are born. If the current government run health care programs actually get off the ground, our children and grandchildren will likely spend their entire lives wallowing in debt – and stuck in a system of broken promises and compromised quality. Face it: when it comes to securing financial stability for our nation’s children, we are a nation of thieves. We should hang our heads in shame. Instead, our leaders slap each other on the back in victorious glee as they slip into their limos and head off in style to plan the next robbery. 

The liberal elite and social engineers are trying to silence the cries of decent, hard-working Americans that have had enough. And they are doing it with good old-fashioned name-calling. It’s the oldest, dirtiest, laziest trick in the book: call someone you don’t like a racist, a sexist or a hot-head and you’ve effectively discredited them. The bullies have taken your children’s future, and now they want to take your dignity and your voice. But don’t let them.

As smart Americans across the land are spending their hard-earned money to hire accountants to fill out stupid, complex tax forms that no one can understand, it’s time to take to the streets. As moms and dads are writing out those huge tax checks and sending them off to God-knows-who in Washington to do God-knows-what with, it’s time to take to the streets.

Peaceful assembly comprised of very loud and vocal protests have long been successful methods in this country for securing civil rights for the oppressed and downtrodden. Well, our kids are the oppressed. Their future has been trampled. Take to the streets!

And take other people with you. The great tea party phenomenon that is sweeping our nation provides our greatest hope. And the millions who are patriotically protesting must also take their action into the voting booths this fall. So take to the streets, take your friends and neighbors and co workers with you, and then lead them all into those voting booths in November. Let’s cram the polls with citizens who will vote to protect our children and the American way.

It’s time to organize, to march, to vote them out and whop the bullies once and for all. It’s the only way to keep them from robbing our kids blind.

TIME TO TAKE ACTION

Note: It doesn’t matter that 60-70% (depending on the poll) of the American people do not want this bill, nor any contorted version of it.  They know it’s not about health care reform.  It’s about power and our government wielding it over us all in yet another critical area of our lives.   So, through a process called “reconciliation,” the left can force this bill upon us all with no participation in the process by conservatives or the American people.    The “Summit” is an illusion, a ruse, a thinly-veiled attempt to make it appear to be an honest effort towart bipartisanship.   But make no mistake about it: This is a power-play.  And once passed, we WILL all answer to some government official or panel to determine what any of us can or cannot do medically.

This week there is forward momentum again in the health care debate. President Obama rolled out his own version of a health care plan. It is reported that if the Republicans filibuster, the Democrats will push the bill via reconciliation through anyway. On Thursday, the President will meet with the leadership of both parties to “discuss” health care.  

So, that means, it is up to us, We the People, to make sure Congress knows we do not want the government to take over our health care. Call your Congressman and Senators and tell them to vote no on Health Care. Also tell Senator McConnell not to compromise in the meeting with the President on Thursday. The American people do not want any part of this Health Care bill, do not compromise.

Come out.  Vent.  Brainstorm.  Be energized.  And enjoy.

Yes, our President could have and should have taken advantage of his national stage this way–but alas, he did not. Sadly, we heard no such words.  Not only does our current administration not have its hand on the pulse of where Main Street USA lives and breathes, it seems not to care.  It’s not that they do not know what Americans are going through as unemployment continues to rise–and foreclosures with it–and are just acting as though they are blind to these cold, harsh realities.  It’s that they do see and they do know and are acting against the will of the people anyway.

What we got last Wednesday night was a lecture, a scolding as it were, and no one was left out (just ask your Supreme Court justices).   The President’s words, seemingly underscoring his resilience–”I’m no quitter,” in reality only served to emphasize a level of defiance of the will of the People that is unprecedented.   Translation: “We’re going to find a way, some way, any way to get our agenda pushed through, no matter what–and no matter how many object to it.”   If you doubt that, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s commentary the very next day:  ”If the gates are closed, we’ll go over the fence.  If the fence is too high, we’ll pole vault in.   If that doesn’t work, we’ll parachute in, but we’re going to get health care reform passed.”  Make no mistake, whatever the People say and however they may protest, their government says:  ”We know better what’s better for them than they do.”

The message out of Washington isn’t anything resembling, “You know, we may have spent way too much after all.”  It’s, “We haven’t spent nearly enough.”   And so, there is more to come.  Much more.  Including the most bloated budget proposal in our nation’s history.  This fiscal insanity is a runaway train, and liberal “leadership” is its engineer.

As the American Conservative Union reported today:

“Today’s Wall Street Journal screams with the headline, ‘Deficit to Hit All-Time High,’ as they report that President Obama’s budget projects the deficit will shoot up to a record $1.6 trillion this year.”  The Associated Press says: ‘Obama unveils $3.83 trillion budget with massive deficits.’

Worse, Obama and the liberal Democrats controlling Capitol Hill now say they want even more stimulus spending, what you probably heard talked about in that State of the Union speech as a “jobs bill.”

Massive government spending does not create jobs, it merely puts America’s families, children and grandchildren in even more debt.  Massive government spending does nothing to help America’s small businesses on main street.  Massive government spending does nothing but give liberal Democrats another blank check to hand out goodies to their liberal special interest friends.

The spending must stop. The stimulus bills cloaked as jobs bills must stop.  We must speak out.”

And so, we are.  And we will.

STOP CAP AND TRADE AND CLIMATE TREATY
This week please call all your senators and house reps. about the cap and trade bill that seems to be heating up again in the congress and the possibility of Pres. Obama signing a Global Climate Treaty that would give up the USA’s sovereignty to a higher UN Constitution. This is SCARY folks! This could mean the end of the constitution as we know it and the signing could be as early as December. This could usher in a New World Government that would then supersede our own laws and documents. Please call all your congressman and ask about this treaty and begin doing your homework. Here is a video about the Climate Treaty in Copenhagen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYZkph2DfSg   Here is a BBC report on the Climate Summit in Copenhagen. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8315573.stm 
 
I’ve started reading the Federalist Papers, and would like to leave you all with a quote that moved me about the men who created our country and founding documents. “This convention, composed of men, who possesed the confidence of the people, and many of whom had become highly distinguished by their patriotism, virtue and wisdom, in times which tried the minds and hearts of men, undertook the arduous task. In the mild season of peace, with minds unoccupied by other subjects, they passed many months in cool uninterrupted and daily consultations: and finally, without having been awed by power, or influenced by any passions except love for their Country, they presented and recommended to the people the plan produced by their joint and very unanimous counsels.”
