Many people in perceived fairness say that President Obama is in office a little more than two months, so we should give him a chance. To these people I ask, how long do you give a new nanny who demonstrates poor child rearing skills, with your children? For the ladies, how long do you allow a new beautician who is clearly doing her own thing and not doing what is best for you to continue before you yell stop? We are seeing so called fixes to our economic problems that are not economic problem fixes. We are seeing major changes to our civic culture under the guise of fixing our economic problem. We are seeing a serious threat to our constitution, by a man who openly does not like our constitution the way it was written.

Beware the need for speed! Your government has kicked in the afterburners to push through some very questionable changes and threats to our Constitution without the traditional process of deliberation. Tell me this. If the Obama Administration believed that the money and powers it was seeking would easily pass public muster and scrutiny, would they have a need to move freight car loads of legislation at breakneck speeds designed to limit public awareness, discourse, and comment?

Professional Congressmen – Why? Today there are 251 members of the House of Representatives serving for more than ten years or five terms. This is nearly 58% of the House of Representatives. Remember the House is the people’s house and the representatives serving in this house were intended by our founding fathers to be of the people and from the people. When representatives serve in the House for more than two terms they become insolated from the people…

The same people who failed while on watch, then failed on creating a fix, are the same people entrusted to steer us out of these dangerous waters. Doesn’t this just give you a warm feeling all over? Our country has been and is being led by politicians and bureaucrats who more often than not, have no capability to succeed outside the confines of the political bureaucracy. Yet, President Obama wants to expand this country’s government and have the government take care of our needs.

The cornerstone of our nation’s republican government – not to be confused with the Republican Party – is a census free of Whitehouse manipulation.

Who runs our government? At any given time, the decision makers in Congress represent the 15% of the population who place party above country. Most people who are registered Democrats or Republicans follow their party and generally agree with their party, but do not place party above country. Most elected representatives are of the 15% of the population who are Democrats or the 15% who are Republicans – these are the folks who place party above country. Under the Bush administration there was a push to expand the Republican Party by expanding government and spending more – sounds like the Democrats doesn’t it? The theory was, if we give the people “stuff” they will vote for us, since this has worked for the Democrats for some time.

What can we do about our Congress? Can we amend the Constitution? Congress controls the Constitutional amendment process or do they? Our Constitution provides for an alternate amendment process, one initiated by the states. A state can call for a constitutional convention and if two thirds of the states agree, i.e. 34 states, it convenes. The states send representatives to the convention and any amendment coming out of the convention need ratification by three fourths the states, i.e. 38 states, to become an amendment of the united States Constitution. Now you can petition your state legislators, your representatives in your capitol, for a constitutional convention to change Congress and to restore lost rights back to the states.

Perhaps it is too soon to challenge you on this earmark thing, because we have been told by you and you’re your spokesman, Mr. Gibbs, that the Stimulus bill did not contain any earmarks. However, we know this was true only in the technical sense, but if pork looks like an earmark, spends like an earmark, is not debated like an earmark, and is slipped in like an earmark, then it is an earmark. The current Omnibus Bill earmarks explanation from your Mr. Gibbs is that these were last years earmarks and thus don’t count toward your pledge. Please understand that I and many others find this to be a moronic explanation.

Recently, President Obama in an effort to achieve his health care reform agenda made the statement that health / medical costs force a person into bankruptcy every thirty seconds. This sounds like health care is steamrolling citizens into bankruptcy. Is this true?

If you have not guessed as yet, it is the State is California. This very liberal experiment in creating a nanny state, which included onerous rules on businesses and outrageously high taxes, is tanking faster than a falling meteoroid. This State is suffering years of debt taken on to achieve the very liberal social programs that are the underpinning of the “nanny state”. I hope the millions who are seeking the Nanny States of America take a moment to see what will become of the United States of America, if we continue on this path to a national socialistic nanny state. One look at California and the multi-tentacled sink hole it has become should be enough to demonstrate to those of modest means, that in the long run the nanny state will only bring them abject misery.

We must start to really listen to the Administration when its members speak, and we must really start to look at the people who are chosen to be in this Administration. We cannot assume that because they say they are fixing our problems that they are. We must prevent them from acting like that distant cousin who shows up to stay, acts like he is mowing our lawn and fixing our shingles to help us out, but is really quietly cleaning us out of our silverware and other valuables. When Erik Holder and other members of this Administration speak, listen very carefully to the actual words used, and you will hear the real agenda. You will hear the very slick use of the English language to make you believe one thing, while they are doing something else.
