The Fix For America

If anyone is truly concerned with and determined to fix the ongoing and underlying problems in America, it would most definitely be The People of this Great Country, and We could and would do it with SIMPLICITY. One thing we should realize is the fact that, if those in a position of power, instead of concerning themselves with fame, fortune, and gaining or retaining power, would actually implement policies which would and could do that which is necessary in order to alleviate the problems and difficulties in which the entire Country is experiencing, this Nation would benefit tremendously. The only way to ensure that this Country will improve, is to have the Whitehouse and the Congress on the same page. Not having like-minded people in the positions to which the changes can be made, the remedy will never be accomplished. Of course, as we attempt to wrestle the powers-that-be and return the power to the People, there are those of whom which will do whatever they can in order to derail any possibility of doing so.  Do not fall prey to their deceptions and distractions, stay the course. The pompous, arrogant, pretentious, and haughty attitudes of these individuals must be eliminated and must also be reminded that they are the servants and not the masters.
I, myself, do not relish in, or concern myself with, fame and fortune or even having power over anyone else. Having said that, if I were elected President of the United States of America, along with those of like-minded and determined individuals in Congress to do that which is best for all in America, the People of America would be empowered by relinquishing a majority of the same power being wielded, exploited, and held for ransom by the ever growing and over-bloated government entity that is and has been in power and control for decades. This is what is needed to accomplish the rise to the Greatness to which we once attained. Our lives, and lively-hoods, are not game pieces to be moved at their will and then put away until the next time to play. The times of playing politics are over. Especially party politics.
These are but a few of the many ways to attain our goals of True Freedom, Liberty, and Prosperity,(through hard work and personal responsibility), and re-establish our strength and credibility throughout the world;
As we all do when times get tough,  we make the responsible, sensible, and difficult choices, which are usually unpopular among those involved, in order to preserve our financial way of life. We cut corners and even downsize, to some degree, which  is becoming more burdensome daily, so that we can retain our necessities, and for some, necessity is all they have, if any at all.
We must bring to conclusion all hand-outs, bail-outs, and pay-offs  instituted and condoned by our government. A hand-up during a time of need is warranted and encouraged, but an unprecedented hand-out due to irresponsibility is no longer acceptable. There is a substantial degree of corruption within our subsidy, entitlement, and foreign-aid programs and/or policies, not to mention throughout the entire system of government. There are many in America which are hurting, suffering, and in a continuous struggle which is more than one can imagine or understand. They need assistance now, not in a few years when the supposed plans of political contenders are intended to be implemented, if ever they are.
1)-- For a period of 6 months, but not more than 1 year, any and all payments for entitlement, grants, foreign aid, bail-out, and subsidy programs will be suspended. During this time, all agencies responsible for these programs will conduct thorough screening and eligibility requirements for those enrolled or receiving these benefits. They will determine whether benefits should continue or be disqualified due to ineligibility.  This will be determined by, but not limited to, invalid recipients, falsified information given by applicant, means testing, legal status, imprisoned while receiving benefits, etc... Only by this measure can we be assured that those of whom actually need these benefits can and will receive them. This will also allow eligibility by income and not total real assets. What good is a program that requires you to sell all that you worked hard for in order to receive assistance when you need it? This is part of the process in correcting the systems, making them more effective and efficient. All medical benefits will continue during this time. This process will include, but not limited to, Food Stamps, Welfare, Social Security, S.S.I., Disability, Unemployment, Foreign Aid, Bail-outs, Grants, and any other program deemed necessary.  With that being said, before anyone jumps out of their skin, there is a solution for those receiving the necessary benefits during this process.
This will provide a booster shot to the economy, bolster demand for goods and services, and encourage job growth in order to supply the demands, which in turn will further strengthen the economy by having more people working, paying taxes, and purchasing more goods and services. This plan will allow those of whom have been hardest hit by the economic turmoil, brought about through failed policies and the misdirection of funding by Washington, D.C. and others, in order to stabilize and possibly restore their financial circumstances.
Income requirements for eligibility of one-time benefits;
Single individual households, with no dependents, and a gross annual income of $30,000 or less;
Single income households, with 1-2 dependents, and a gross annual income of $40,000 or less;
Single income households, with 3 or more dependents, and a gross annual income of $50,000 or less;
Two income households, with no dependents, and a combined gross annual income of $60,000 or less;
Two income households, with 1-2 dependents, and a combined gross annual income of $65,000 or less;
Two income households, with 3 or more dependents, and a combined gross annual income of $70,000 or less;
These categories include: Those receiving government assistance only; Food stamps, Welfare, Social Security, S.S. Disability, S.S.I., Unemployment; Those receiving government assistance combined with working income; Working income without government assistance. These  will be eligible to receive $35,000, tax free and not deemed as income. This will be in 4 quarterly installments of $8,750. This can be done due to the suspension of aforementioned programs. Those persons which are displaced, (homeless), will be required to register at the Social Security office to receive this benefit. No persons here on a visa, either work or educational, of illegal status, or imprisoned will be eligible to receive benefits.
*NOTE*- Recipients are encouraged to be responsible with benefits as there will not be any extra benefits available during this period if they choose not to do so.
2)-- To further encourage job and economic growth, the business tax rates will be reduced to 20% and capital gains taxes will be reduced to 10%.  Regulations that are in effect, in which are not most beneficial to, and inhibit, business and expansion, will be suspended or repealed to allow for much more growth.
3)-- Agencies such as, Medicaid, Medicare, and the Veteran's Administration, will be examined and investigated to ensure effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability. Policies and requirements for said agencies and departments, will need to be changed or modified, in order to eliminate unfair and/or corrupt practices. By doing this, we can create plans for those in need of assistance with medical coverage without adding yet another corruptible agency or organization to the already over-bloated bureaucracy we now have. As stated before, no medical benefits or payments will be affected by the suspension process , unless it is determined to be necessary to do so.
4)-- The necessity of a National ID and Driver's License to include all 50 states, interconnected within a National Database, is of significant importance to our Country. This program will allow for clarity, efficiency, and accountability concerning certain issues plaguing America. The ID and DL will only be permitted to contain basic information relating to the persons in which cards are issued.  This will be a mandatory program for citizens and non-citizens alike. The information contained on these cards are: Current legal name, current address, legal status, voter eligibility, basic medical information, and on DL's, automobile insurance information. It will continue to have the same appearance as currently issued cards and other pertinent information will be encoded within magnetic strips on reverse of card, which is currently in use and can only be accessed by appropriate authorities. Non-citizens, such as students here on educational visas, people here on work visas, and Diplomats stationed in this Country as representatives of their country, will be issued in color other than that issued to citizens of the USA. Let us explore the purpose and benefits of this program; As is currently, when moving to new state or area, you are required to report to the DMV to re-apply or receive new ID or DL., this program will eliminate the inconvenience of long waiting times in order to accomplish such. All that is required for the necessary updates to your card are as follows; Report to DMV, present card to representative, provide new information pertaining to necessary changes requested, and when transaction completed, retrieve card, and you are finished. The effectiveness and efficiency of this process will be of tremendous value for all. You are not required to acquire new card unless current card is damaged or destroyed, or at renewal of card. The reason for this is that the only information displayed on card is; your photo, name, date of birth, date of issue and imprint of either index finger or thumb for verification purposes., all other information, as stated earlier, will be encoded within magnetic strip on back of card. Information can be updated whenever necessary. Voter registration and/or changes, medical information and /or changes, and automobile insurance information and/or changes can be updated in the same manner. In regard to voter eligibility, this will eliminate the ability to commit voter fraud. One citizen, one vote. Absentee ballots will be eliminated due to the ability to cast your vote, in national and local elections, from anywhere. Just report to any polling location and the information for your district will be available. No need to appear at your districts polling location. The database will enable your vote to be recorded and reported to your district. This will enable only those of whom are eligible to vote. In regard to medical information, the permitted information will be as to your current physician and contact information, current medications, and medical allergies. No medical history will be allowed. In regard to automobile insurance, will verify coverage in the event of accident or incident. This program/process will streamline procedures and allow for expedient, effective, efficient, and accurate information when warranted.
5)--   With the constant threats to our Country's National Security and the safety of our citizens at home and around the globe, it is in the best interest of this Nation to show significant strength. Our Military might is the backbone of this Country's strength. It is not only the weaponry  which we possess, but it is the personnel that makes the Military. We must enact a mandatory enlistment in our Armed Services. Peace is achieved through strength. Give the order that individuals between the ages of 21-35 have the opportunity to voluntarily enlist within a 60 day period. All of those individuals which fail to do so, will be drafted into service. The length of service is a minimum of 2 years or until the threat has dissipated. There will be No Amnesty permitted for anyone that does not comply. All individuals between the ages of 18-20 will be permitted to enlist strictly on a volunteer basis. The rules and requirements for enlistment will be suspended, as we know, it is nearly impossible for just anyone to serve their Country. All of the gimmicks and promissory promotional fringe benefits for enlisting will be terminated. This will provide an attitude of service instead of service just for benefits. Implementation of this program will assure that the rest of the world will take notice and realize once and for all that America will not tolerate any further threats to ourselves or our true allies, and our readiness to act. Enlistment does not necessitate deployment to battlefields. We will be prepared to assist and defend our allies and protect our borders until appropriate steps can be achieved to secure them.
6)--  Our Department of Defense will be required to re-negotiate all contracts in order to assure the American people of it's efficiency and effectiveness. Taxpayers will not be subjected to unnecessary and over-bloated contracts which cost us billions. Nation building will no longer be an option or requirement. This is too costly and is mostly for nothing. The DOD's budget and funding will need to be re-evaluated. There seems to be a significant reason to begin a serious housekeeping regiment.
7)--  Illegal Immigration; When you hear this, illegal immigration, what is the first thing that comes to mind? I have asked this question to hundreds, if not thousands, of people and at least 80% have answered "Latinos". The same as most of you , I'm sure. We are led to believe this on purpose. This is over-politicized for a distraction from the real issue. Truth is, we have people from all over the world, from every continent, which are here illegally. Do not allow yourselves to be misled concerning this any longer. We have an ever-growing problem with this issue. We are pronounced to be a Nation of Law and yet we fail to enforce even the simplest one of them. How can we protect ourselves and anyone else if we continue in this manner? We cannot! As I stated previously, I have spoken to many peoples, from all walks of life and from many nations, all over this Country, and when I asked them, with no one else present and in a group, how do they feel about illegal immigrants?, I was given two different answers, considering which setting the question was asked. When they were asked this question on a one-to-one basis, the reply was that they were upset that it was happening and messing it up for everyone who was trying to get here the right way and making it harder for the ones that did the right thing in order to be in this Country. When they were asked the same question while in a group, the same nationality, the reply was quite different. They said  that they had a right to be here to do the work that Americans would not do, and if they were sent back home, they would be back because it was so easy to get here. I was perplexed by the different answers by the same people in the group that I had asked one-on-one. I spoke to these again and asked as to why their replies were different when they were alone compared to in a group, they stated that they were afraid of retaliation/retribution from the others and did not want to endure such. I also learned that the US/Mexico border is considered to be the Gateway to America for many nations. We must remedy this quickly. If we are to continue to allow people to be here illegally, which should be considered the breaking of National Security Law, then why do we continue to arrest and imprison people for lesser offenses?  This is not fair to anyone!
This is only a few of the many ways that America can be fixed and return to Greatness. Part-1. This is only the beginning.        Gene Weatherford                        11/09/2011

It's NOT Too Late, America CAN Be Fixed

With all of the events unfolding daily and as bad, or rough, as it is for so many, we have not yet  reached the point of no return. We have some which are either running for, or attempting to retain, positions which would place them in roles that would allow them to make the necessary changes  needed, in order to return our Country to it's untainted, respectable, prosperous, and indisputable Glory. Yet, none of them are truly committed to, or have true intentions of, actually making the decisions, or policies, in which to accomplish such. They speak  as though, they would have us to believe, they are the ones in which will do what is right for, and beneficial to, us all, when they intend to only do this for a select few. For decades we have been subjected to these adversely despicable practices. While, throughout, our governments, officials, and agencies, which are sworn to uphold and protect the law and the Constitution, were participants of this corruption, they enabled and/or condoned others to do so, without any accountability and/or retributions, but rather rewarded them for said practices. It would seem as though being able to hide within, behind, or choosing to blatantly ignore, the law is customary for perpetrators of such atrocities which have had a detrimental affect on us all. This has brought us to the issues of  instability and social uprisings. We are not as ignorant as they would have us to believe. Do not fret, there are solutions to the issues and difficulties at hand. It may prove to be painful, but not as much as it has been trying to endure the results of all of this. We have to stop the bleeding! With all of the fake stimulus plans which have been implemented, is the same as placing a band-aid on a bullet wound. We have to remove the slugs and repair it properly, then the bleeding will stop. We, also, do not want to continue to reward the ones which caused the bloodshed to begin with. As we do this, the culprits are ready to do whatever they deem necessary to discourage and distract us from the task. Be vigilant and stand strong, no matter what they say or threaten to do, to alter the outcome. They would rather see everything stay as it is in order for them to continue benefiting from their actions and behaviors. We must give the system an enema in order to, once and for all, clean out all the bad stuff, so that we can heal and regain our strength. We are now indulged in which person we are to elect as our Commander-in Chief, but we have to remember, no matter who is elected, if we do not have like-minded people in Congress, it will not change. I t won't matter what they say they're going to do or attempt, without the same mind-set throughout the system. We truly have to consider this, if not, it will be all for nothing.
In my next segment, I will attempt to put forth some ideas in which to improve our lives and make our Country strong once again.

Most Dangerous And Costliest Diseases In America

While it is true that there are many diseases which can take a toll on our everyday lives, there are none as destructive, costly, and deadly as: DISTORTION, DECEPTION, DIVISION, DISTRACTION, HYPOCRISY, and CORRUPTION. These can devastate the entire country and all citizens thereof. Fortunately, there is a cure if treated properly and in a timely manner. It is not easily administered, nor is it abundant in supply; it is the only remedy for bringing our country back from the brink of total destruction. The name of this cure: RENEW and RESTORE. In order to implement the antidote, you have to clean the wounds and remove all remnants of the diseases. Then the cure can be administered, but you have to be diligent in the treatment and determined in order to not allow the disease to take root again, the results of this could prove to be even more devastating than before treatment. It is worse than cancer, and we know how aggressive that can be. These diseases cannot be treated individually, because one is the cause and effect of the other. It doesn't have to be a painful process, but you can be assured there will be some discomfort. Remember, the entire system is infected. Be aware, it will not go quietly or easily. Stand firm and follow the procedure correctly. When treatment is successful, America will stand stronger and more united than ever before. This will bring about the true UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Allow me to give a brief explanation of D.D.D.D.H.C...
DISTORTION of our Constitution, rule of law, and of facts pertaining to just about anything, bring about the ability to deceive;
DECEPTION of the functionality of the system, intent of those in the system, and the facts of the success  and abilities of the system, bring about the promotion of the system to divide us;
DIVISION of the people by race, religion, economics, politics, etc..., is instituted to distract us;
DISTRACTION is implemented in order to keep the people from paying attention to what the system and those in it are really doing. This allows the hypocrites to do and say as they see fit;
HYPOCRISY of the system; executive, legislative, judicial, financial, educational, etc..., and of organizations and other institutions in this country leaves the ability to corrupt the same;
CORRUPTION in our government system is widespread and embedded, allowing those associated with the system and other organizations and institutions to become corrupt.
This is what we are up against and trying to correct. So, you see how all of these are relevant to the other. WE THE PEOPLE need to come together, with one voice, and rid ourselves of these devastating diseases. We are AMERICANS and we can accomplish anything we set out to do. Be careful of whom we elect and be sure they have the same values and hopes for our future which are beholding to us all.
Fight the good fight,(non-violently of course). This will only prohibit our success.

We Need Help Now

               It has become clear to us that our government does not really concern themselves with the plight or concerns of the people. It would seem that when it is time for you to be elected or re-elected, you are concerned about the people and the hardships that they may have encountered. Once in office, the haves are not concerned with the have-nots. As I stated in my letter dated 11/01/08, "the people are hurting in this country and are doing without most of what they need on a daily basis". We see on the news daily how you are quick to help those whom have a lot, but not at all for the ones who need it. There are children going hungry and doing without in this country, most will not even have a Christmas this year because of the hardships that their parents have had to endure. What are you going to do for the people to show them that the ones we have elected genuinely care and are concerned about what we are going through? Believe me when I say," Whatever you are planning to do, I can guarantee that it will not be enough to do anything with, except for, maybe pay a bill or two that we have had to bypass just to buy some of the groceries that we may need".
                 Put yourselves in our place for once. If you had to decide whether to pay a bill or go buy a few groceries, not knowing for sure from week to week what was going to happen, then maybe you would be willing to do more for the American people than what you do. I know that it may be difficult for you to understand where we are at , because you have plenty and do not have to worry about these things on a daily or weekly basis. If only! Just remember one thing, "We the people are in the situations we are in , in part, due to the decisions that you either make or do not make".
                     The elite and the ones with the power, such as yourselves, are the ones that will be ok during these economically challenged times in which we face. I say again," What are you going to do for the people?" Are you willing to show us that you are genuinely concerned? Are you going to continue to do for the haves and not the have-nots?
                         I would also like for you to remember that with each and every election, we seem to do worse and worse. The work for the people as a whole, has not been done for many years now. It is time for you to get to the plate and hit a homerun. Do what is right and good for all Americans. If the American people are to be told to" hold on and wait for what we are doing to take effect" then, maybe we need to elect people that will be willing to do whatever is necessary for the good of this country. If something is not done to give the American people some relief, and be done quickly, then we will start a campaign to have people elected that will do the will of the people, all of the people, not just some. You cannot expect us to accept that you can do whatever  it is that you choose and have us pay the bills.
                           I pray that you will do what is right for all of us.
                                                                                                      Respectfully,
                                                                              Eugene Weatherford     11/10/2008

True Americans Needed

         I cannot believe that there are not more Americans that have had enough of what is considered to be politics as usual. I am astounded and taken-a-back at the lack of out-cry as to what is happening in and to our country and it's people. It is frightening to think that Americans just do not care anymore. You can not turn on the television, the radio, or pick up a newspaper without seeing, hearing, or reading about all of the crimes, corruption, and scandals happening everywhere. You also have millions out of work and all of us having a very tough time of it financially, and there are many more everyday. With all of this, and more happening daily, what are our so-called leaders doing to fix it?, Not very much at all! The game of politics is not profitable or fair to the American way of life, but has been a part of it for quite some time now and is a losing one at most. It is time for the game playing to come to an end and for real solutions to come into being. You can plainly see just how far the usual has brought us, not so good, right?
           Well, so far our so-called leaders have spent hundreds of billions of dollars and nothing has improved very much. Our economy is still in the tank and does not seem to be coming up for air anytime soon. They have given billions to the insurance industry and they have not improved, they still have unhealthy and wasteful spending practices. Other industries have received billions of dollars, and still they have not improved  and it is largely be due to our government taking controlling interest in them. The government should not have control of anything but the government, this is not a good sign. It seems that every industry is looking for a hand-out and there is no end in sight. Before long the government will have control of almost everything and claim that it is in the best interest of the country, while stating that the American people are the owners of them, but we know that this is not true. We are only the ones to pay the bill for what they have done and are doing. The interest rates have dropped, but this is between the financial institutions and only effects us when it has to do with fees, which are on the rise and will continue to do so because the banks are losing money. Most of everything that has occurred, as far as the rescue/bail-out scenario is concerned, has only been to help or profit a select few and not the people as a whole. We the people have been taking the brunt, dealing with the consequences, for all of the decisions or indecisions that our so-called leaders have been involved in. It is time for the free-running circus to come to a close. Basically the only things that have been done for the people, and only a few, is that the unemployment benefits have been extended and welfare has been increased by a few dollars. Is what they have done so far helped the economy in the least? No it has not.
          How much better could you make it through the tough economic times we have now if your household could receive $100 thousand? I bet you could overcome some of the adverse effects that  you have encountered over the past few years brought on by job loss, divorce, medical difficulties, or any number of things that may have happened  unexpectedly. If you are on a fixed income, you most likely had to use what money you had set aside due to higher than expected prices of goods and services or other unexpected circumstances, right? Due to these, most cannot get or even qualify for credit to get  what we need to make it on a daily basis. Our so-called leaders do not want to rescue us due to the fact that if they did so they would empower us to repair the economy and they do not really want that because by doing so they relinquish their power of total control. As long as they have total control then they can dictate when and if things are to be any different. Wake up America, we have been snoozing for far too long. Get in touch with our so-called leaders and let them know that we the people need to be rescued as a whole. I urge you to do it quickly before it is too late, if not already. If they refuse to do the right thing then we as a people need to elect those that will if need be. Remember, we are the ones that can fix our economy.
I will be looking forward to hearing from you all. Your friend and fellow American,
                                                                                                   Respectfully,
                                                                            Eugene Weatherford  12/18/2008

Leaders Americans Have Been Waiting For

It has been a very, very long time since America has had the opportunity to elect the people that they have been looking for as our leaders. Not since the first century of the birth of our Nation, have we had truly worthy candidates for the most distinguished offices in the free world. We have had a few that were close to what we have needed, but not close enough. The few have been good people, but because of party loyalty or policies they really did not have the chance to show the American people their true potential. Due to certain members, of the parties in which they were affiliated, they were held back or not allowed to do what they knew was the right things to do for the American people and the country. The sad truth of it is, this is still very prevalent today. This is, for the most part, why we cannot elect anyone in the government, in any office, that will do what needs to be done to get things in this country turned around and back on track for all Americans. Politics today are just a game that is played and the only winners are the officials of the government and maybe a few of their families and friends. This can be no more!
In the days of yore, in the first century of our country, the government servants came from all walks of life. Some were farmers, some were from the military, some were of a professional nature, as in, doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc.., and the rest were of the working class. The one thing that all of these people had in common, was that they loved this country and were concerned for the people and for the direction in which the country was to go. The main concerns were what was best for all and not just some, unlike today. I'm sure that there were things in which they would disagree, but they would still do what was best, no matter who received the credit for it. Today, these politicians will deliberately disagree with one another just for the sake of who is to receive the credit for or which party will benefit the most in the decisions that they make.
Has anyone ever looked up the definitions or meanings of the words, politic, politics, politician? How about political science, politically correct, politicize? How about lead, leader, leading? How about govern, governance, government?
I would challenge each and every one of the people in these United States of America to get a dictionary and look up these words, when you do, then you will know just what we, as a people, need to do. Some of our leaders, and I use the term loosely, use some of these words just to sound important and some they use to the full extent of the meaning or distort it all together. Either way, what is being done and the way in which it is being done, it surely is not right and just to or for the American people and to or for the country. I will give you the definitions according to the Webster's New World Dictionary, and I ask you to look them up to see for yourselves. I feel that by doing so, some will be frightened, some alarmed, some astounded, some enlightened, as to just what is and has been going on in this great land of ours. The surprising thing is that, most take it as the normal way of doing things and this alarms me.

If you have read these, now you can understand how and why things are the way they are in this country. We are currently being oppressed by our government and the ones we call leaders. We as a people need to stand together and take back control of our government and of our country. If we fail to do so, we are doomed to lose all of our freedoms and abilities to conduct ourselves as a free people. I know what some may be thinking and I can assure you that we can do this and do it without having to take up arms against them or blood shed or even a full on revolt. We have to do this with civility. As everyone is aware, we cannot defeat the system by fighting against it but, we can defeat it by using against itself. In order for us to do this, we have to stand together with all of our strength and might. We have to focus all of our energy and know that we can do it. The system is well aware that if we stand together, that they cannot prevail. They have discouraged us from standing together by division. They always talk about unity, and at the same time are the very ones dividing us. Think about it for a moment. They bring division amongst us Economically; Rich, Poor, Middle Class., Socially; Elite, White Collar, Blue Collar, Straight, Gay, etc.., Ethnically; White, Black, Latino, Asian, Middle-eastern, etc.., Politically; Democrat, Republican, Independent, Liberal, Left-wing, Right-wing, Conservative etc.., Religiously; Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Atheist, Jew, etc.., you get the idea, and it is time to stop it. We are AMERICANS plain and simple, no matter what. It is up to us to change this and change it now. We must stand and say "NO MORE". As long as they can keep this going, then they can pretty much do as they please because, by doing so they keep all of the infighting going on between us and we are not paying attention to what they are doing. The time is now for us to start. It is not going to be easy, but it will be worth it in the end. First, we must have everyone on the same page, saying and doing the same things. Second, we must coordinate and organize to get the job done properly. Third, we must not give up or in to whatever they might say or do. Fourth, we must keep our goals in mind, having the government work for and by us as it should have always been.
Do not be frightened or afraid of what these officials say or threaten to do, because there is not a thing that they can do . We have a right to set things right.
The leaders that Americans have been looking for are all around us, we just have not had the opportunity to place these individuals into positions of leadership because of the corrupted system that we now have. But we are going to change this, and we will all be better off for it. We can make America great in all of the eyes of the world once again. Let's do it!
The people that we need to lead us have to be from the real America, had to work hard, pay bills, budget what they had to spend, if anything. Unlike these leaders of today, who have never had to. Elitism has been one of our biggest downfalls along with being too liberal with everyone else's liberties and finances. We need non-political politicians, who did not go to school to learn how to be a politician, where they must teach how to be a liar and a thief and have everyone believe that you are doing what is best for everyone.  People that have common sense, are honest as to what their intentions are, says what they mean and mean what they say, from experience, having to live the life, knows what needs and has to be done to ensure that all will benefit from their decisions, and will do what is best for America first before doing for other countries, who is not going to oppress us by over-taxation, requiring of us what they are not willing to do themselves, will not make promises that they have no intentions to keep, and stop big business from trying to run everything. Sounds great does it not? It would and will be a whole lot better than what we have now and have had. We definitely need to have majority rule once again because, with the way it is now, the few seem to overpower the many. As it is now, all of our traditions are disappearing, and it is all because, if what we are doing offends one person then, we have to change it. How is this fair to the many, when the few complain, to change it? If these people think that you should or could go through life without being offended  then, good luck with that. This has to change, as well as all forms of prejudice and other forms of hatred  as well. We have to re-enforce our judicial system and make it work once again. We have to make sure that there are no children going hungry or doing without the things that they need. We should not have people living in the streets in America but, we do. I know that there are some that choose to live that way, so we have to make it to where they would not want to, without being mean or disrespectful about it. There are many other things that need to be changed in order for society as a whole to work the way it was meant to. Okay America, it is up to us. Let's get with it and get it done.
I would like to hear from you, so please contact me.               Your Fellow American,

Are We...Really?

  I once heard a saying, though I'm not sure how it went, but either way would still apply," Insanity or Stupidity is continuing to do the same things over and over again and expecting different results". You may be asking how this applies to today, well, this is what we, the American People do time and time again. It has to be either insanity or stupidity or it may be that we are just not paying close attention to what is going on in this country. Maybe it is just that we do not really concern ourselves with these things until they affect us in one way or another. We seem to be oblivious to the effects of our decisions or indecisions until this occurs.  Are we really going to continue this way until it is too late to do anything or are we really going to make a stand against the status quo and bring about the changes that are really needed to get this country back on track? We place too much faith and assurance in politicians and political parties to do what is right for the American people and our country. What is the result of this? It is the fact that these are pretentious individuals and are only concerned with themselves and their supporters, and not even all of those, only those with the money. They are only concerned about us when it comes to votes and to further their careers. They only tell us what we want to hear and have no intentions for doing that which is right by all of the people. It is a vicious circle: Money and Power, Power and Money! It just so happens that this is all our fault. We have become too willing to let the government do everything for us instead of doing for ourselves. We have become seriously lazy and detached. Are we really going to continue in this fashion? If you want to actually understand this, just tune in to what is going on around you and to a few news media facilities. I like to tune in to several on TV, (Thank God for picture-in-picture), radio and newspapers, and compare them with one another. This way I can see and hear what is being told and by whom. Then I can determine for myself what is going on. I am not suggesting one over the other, but to name a few: Fox, BBC, CBN, and a few other foreign news agencies. These will tell what needs to be told and not hold a bias towards either political party or administration, unlike those with an agenda for attempting to keep us in the dark about what is really going on. Kind of makes you feel like a mushroom, right? Fed a bunch of crap and kept in the dark! We definitely need to pay closer attention, if we do not, we are doomed to fail.
 It is like with the Tea-Party events, I agree with what they are doing in order to get people to stand up and pay attention, but the message is a little askew. It is too much about one person or administration, or one party or agenda. This is why they are under constant scrutiny and attack. It is much bigger than one person or another, one administration or another or one party or another or even one agenda or another. It is, or should be, about everyone, all administrations, all parties and agendas. The way things are happening, have been happening for quite some time. Did anyone notice that not one politician came forward, concerning what was happening in this country, until enough American citizens stood up and spoke out ? Then these politicians jumped on the band-wagon, stating," We are with you and are on your side.” I have a question for them, "Where have you been? This is something that has been going on for a long time!" They are only concerned in retaining their position and regaining power! The politicians in this country, at all levels, are only concerned with this! Why do you think that things have only gotten worse rather than better? Why are we still so divided instead of united? Why do we still ignore the Constitution and prevent other citizens the same rights and benefits as ourselves? We need to take a moment and think about what we have done and are doing! It's time for all of us to think beyond party lines and do what is necessary and fair for all citizens of this great country. We need to put political correctness back to where it belongs, in the political arena and out of every aspect of our lives. This is killing us, literally. Let us not cause all of those men and women who have fought, bled, and even died to afford us our rights, freedoms and liberties, to have done so in vain. Let us not continue to be so gullible and easily distracted as to fall for the political tricks and lies any longer. Let us get it right and back on track. Many of us say that we are going to make a stand for the better, but I ask you, Are We ... Really?

Under Attack On All Levels

 It is hard to believe, as I observe the everyday occurrences in America today, that the obvious just might be overlooked or understated. I am not sure whether it is deliberate or out of refusal to see it as such.  Is it just me picking up on the signs out of concern for the direction our country is heading or is there anyone else that see's it as I do?  Is it just paranoia or is it perception? I know what is in my heart and mind, so I will leave it up to you to decide for yourselves.
 As I see the events that are unfolding before my very eyes and have unfolded in the recent past, as well as the last few years, I have come to the realization that we are and have been under attack from within for quite some time now. And the only way to bring America to her knees, or to collapse completely, is from within. If you would just take a moment to ponder this, you will see it as well.
 For a long time, those of whom wish to tear us down, have searched for something, or someone, and the right time in which to open the door to bring to fruition that which could begin to do so. It began with the political correctness movement. Ever since this has been implemented into our society, we have been on our way to losing, or giving up, our rights and freedoms as Americans, and it get’s to be more and more daily. Most people are afraid to say what they mean and mean what they say out of fear of being labeled as having some sort of phobia. I believe that this is the reason for the recent massacre at a military installation in which a radical Islamic terrorist was able to carry out an attack on American soil against American military personnel. The following statement will either piss you off or astonish you.  The events following the terrorist act, as with many before this, are telltale signs of what I am about to reveal to you. You can either agree or disagree; it is all up to you.  Some of you will appreciate this and some of you will be appalled by it, but it does not matter, because it has to be said. All I ask is that you will take the time to hear it and to think about the possibilities before you jump or come to your conclusions. Well, here goes;
 Let’s go back. to begin, to last year during the campaign for President. As the time drew near to election day, there were accusations that Barak Obama was indeed a Muslim, to which he, at that time , vehemently denied. Please bear with me; I said this so that when I reveal my perception of current events, you would understand how and why. This is something that has been in the works long before Obama came on the scene, so do not think this is just against him. He just happens to be the one with the baton running full speed ahead to finish what his predecessors had begun long ago.  After he was elected, he admitted to being a Muslim, or of Muslim descent, on his father’s side. Since then, he has been to Muslim countries and others as well, on an apology for America tour. Instead of representing America as a leader, he is known as an appeaser. He has deliberately and systematically interfered and intruded into our free market system by way of the auto industry, our financial system by way of banks and other institutions, and is now making an avid attempt to get into our health care network. The uncontrolled spending spree and the over burdening of taxing America into the poor house, all without reserve or concern for the well-being of Americans. In reference to the bogus global-warming or climate change fiasco’s, he is about to give another entity control of the remainder of our right’s and freedoms, as well as most of our monies. Back to the most recent terrorist event, as the news of this was relayed to him, he included comments concerning the acts, only after first announcing his meetings of the day. The terrorist act should have taken precedence over anything else at that time. His lack of concern or urgency was rather bothersome to me. They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, well; there was not much there for our fallen troops, but rather for the perpetrator of the heinous act. Then at the memorial for the fallen, the distant and frigid expression during the event. Even at the Veteran’s Day event, the same as before. That is when it hit me, we have jihad at the highest levels of our bureaucratic system. Consider all of those he has surrounded himself with, his far left agendas, all that I have mentioned before, and even the hesitation or delay in sending the men and women of our military, at war and in harm’s way, the reinforcements in which they are in dire need of, in order for them to do the job at hand and hopefully return home safely. I believe that as for the troop deployment, he is trying to figure out a way to appease the Muslim world and not let on to the American people as to the dilemma in which he is facing. Plain and simple, he does not know what or how to do what should be done. As was stated by the terrorist, Muslim’s cannot or should not fight against, kill, or cause the deaths of fellow believer’s. I find this highly contradicting for Muslim extremists, considering that they continuously kill or cause to be killed fellow Muslims on a daily basis. They must mean that there are two different sets of Muslims, the peaceful and the fanatic extremists. As far as I am concerned, any religion, group, or institution that teaches, promotes, and requires that non-believers or non-conformists be eliminated, need not be allowed to flourish in any society.
 There it is, it is up to you to figure out what it is that you perceive out of all that has happened and is happening.  What it comes down to is, Obama is stumbling very close to high treason. If we sit back, say and do nothing, then we ourselves are just as guilty as they are.

Enslaved And Held Hostage

We have always been taught to believe that we live in a free country, but do we really?  What is the real definition of free? What exactly does it mean to you? It doesn't mean that everything in life is supposed to be free, but rather, that we are free to choose and pursue what is best for us individually. We can choose whether to go to work or not, what to eat or not, what to drive or not, whether we succeed or fail, etc... It seems as though someone is making, or attempting to make, these decisions and more, for us. We are being micro-managed into captivity. Those of whom we have been allowed to elect, are making decisions for us that are not necessarily the best for us all, but rather for the few to which can get/or give the most money/power/control to the same elected people. Every debate and decision, by these elected persons, is DELIBERATELY CALCULATED in order to bring about INTENTIONAL CONSEQUENCES.  They will manufacture a crisis to create chaos, so that their intended consequences can be established. Think about it! The whole Health-care debate was to reign in insurance companies, but who benefited the most from this? The insurance industry. The financial crisis was caused by the financial industries making bad decisions, but when all was said and done, who benefited most by the bail-outs? Big money! The banks, wall street, the auto industry, unions and all others having interests in financial dealings, including our elected officials. With the latest issue of the national debt and spending sprees, who do you think is going  to benefit the most from all of this? You can count on the big money people and politicians getting the most from this,( I smell yet another bail-out coming). The gov't has become nothing less than a "Sugar Daddy". How many closed-door meetings will it take to get it done this time?  If they, the elected, really wanted to do what is right and good for all Americans, then why, with the exception of national security issues,  do they keep the discussions and dealings from the view and attention of the American People? Because, we would most assuredly not go along with it. There is one thing that would correct almost all things going wrong in this country, SIMPLICITY. The issues and debates in this country are not that complicated. The ones we elect only want us to believe that they are, but this is only to make us think that they will have to be the ones to take care of it, in which when they do, we lose. They are only, or mostly, concerned with furthering their careers, building up their bank accounts, campaign coffers, retaining or gaining power and remaining or gaining control. With all of this, the media,(as a whole), is guilty of enabling and allowing this agenda. Think about it. They will only tell us what they want us to hear or that which they intend for us to believe. They will also, when there are important issues, attempt to distract us with nonsense reporting that has very little to nothing to do with the issues at hand. The media is supposed to be a neutral source of information, but will instead , take sides in order to promote various issues and outcomes. We need to get back to the basics.  I am not sure if it is out of fear of the fcc or repercussions  from their supporters and advertisers. If things were to run as they should in this country, would the media have anything to report? Are they so accustomed to bad news that they would not know where to begin on reporting good things? Who knows, maybe!?  We can only hope!  We, as a people, are Enslaved and Held Hostage by many things which include, but not limited to,  gov't policies and regulations, special interests, controversies,(manufactured and others), deceptions, political ambitions, the failing judicial systems, the insurance industry, the credit reporting agencies,  the current tax structure, local and federal bureaucracies, entitlements, poor educational systems, etc...,( you can fill in what you feel will fit the bill). Like many people, I have had enough of this left versus right junk. I have some questions, How can we unite if we are constantly at odds with one another over common sense issues? Sure the left and the right are different, but do they not have some commonality?  Why do they persist on one or the other being in control? Take the flight of the common bird. for example; If the left wing has more power and control, what happens to the flight pattern and stability of the bird? The same goes for the right wing? The bird cannot fly, it will crash or fly in circles.  Both wings are connected in the middle and have to work in unison in order to succeed in the stability of flight of the bird. The fact is, that both have much to contribute and have good ideas to how things should work, so should they not put aside their differences and come together for the common good and benefit of everyone? Why does it have to be one way or the other? It's been proven that no one side has all the correct answers. It's all about control! As I said before, Simplicity is the key! Are we to continue to be Enslaved and Held Hostage to the way things are? That is something you will have to answer  for yourself. Don't live in fear of standing up for what you believe or else you will continue to be subject to those whom wish to control you.  Got Freedom? Let your voice be heard!

Here We Go Again..

 America, once again we are at  a crossroad, having to decide on which direction that we are to go and to whom will be in charge in order for us to get where we want to be. The only problem with this is that we do not have a real choice. I make this statement concerning the fact that we are only permitted to choose  from those which they, the elite, decide.  The manner in which they decide is whomever can raise the most money and spin the most B.S. on the issues is allowed to go forward. These individuals, as well as groups, look upon America as a business and are only concerned with the bottom-line. Most Americans perceive our country as a home. The individuals you are about to encounter in the upcoming campaigns do not , for the most part, even run their own homes, they have others do this for them. They do not concern themselves with budgeting, how much they are paying for groceries, how much their power bills are, or whether they will have enough to all the things it entails to operate a household. They have plenty and do not have to concern themselves with the tasks of running a household. If the gov't were operated as a household and not as a business, this is when we will see real change and progress in addressing the issues in which we are faced. Please remember this one important fact, do not believe everything  they say because they will say anything in order to get deeper into the machine of politics.

Is The Honeymoon Over For Obama?

       Ever since Obama has appeared on the scene, making his run for the office of President of The United States of America, the media and many of the people in this country, as well as many around the world, have hailed him as "THE ONE", "The Messiah", "The Best Thing To Happen To America Since Abraham Lincoln", "The One Who Is Going To Fix What Has Been Wrong With This Country", and so on... Was all of the hype behind Obama relevant or has it been for all of the wrong reasons. As time goes by, we are finding  that it just may have more to do with the latter.
         During his campaign, and even before he was selected for the Democratic Nominee, he continually kicked sand in the faces of those he competed against, his own colleagues, for their radical ideals, for their lack of commitment to the positions for which they were elected, for their lack of understanding of the general welfare of the people, for their voting record on the issues that have a direct effect on the people, for their negligence of the stewardship of the people's money, for their impedance upon  the very rights, liberties, and freedoms of the American people and their way of life, and so on...
           Then during the Presidential campaign, he continuously slammed his opponent for basically the same things, as well as, and for his interest in continuing in the way things have been in the political realm in Washington DC. He vowed to the American people that he would not continue in the ways of the past, but would bring a new and better form of government to Washington, and he was about to "Bring To America the Hope And Change We Have Been Longing For". Well, as we now know, he achieved his goal in attaining the Presidency, but have things actually changed for the betterment of the American people and the country as a whole?
             It was a very important and historic event for the United States of America and for the people of this country, and I, as well as for many, am very proud in the fact that America has overcome much of it's past differences and have allowed an African-American to be elected as President of The United States of America. What a day and age in which we live. But, I ask you, Did we actually get what we wanted or hoped to achieve?  Did we just get more of the same, in the hopes it would be different? Or in reality, did we, as we attempted to achieve Hope And Change, actually get much worse? It seems as though, day by day, more and more, even those of whom supported Obama, including many in the media, we may have set ourselves on a course for disaster, to which there may be no way to turn around. The same reckless spending, impedance on our very Rights, Freedoms, Liberties, and the blatant disregard for The Will of The People and Our Way of Life to which he campaigned against, seems to be, not only continuing. but have been ensued at a much more rapid pace. How much of this or how long can we allow this to continue to happen? I do not believe that we can afford to sit back and allow this to go on  for any length of time. The longer this goes on, the more irreversible damage is occurring and no options for repair is available.
         It seems that no matter which party is in office or in control, the same old same old continues. They say what we want to hear and have no intentions on doing what they say. The allegiance to the party overrules everything else. We The People have to take a stand and get ourselves out of this mess and it doesn't look as though any of the current politicians or parties are willing or able to do so. There has to be another option, maybe a real working person, someone who has actually had to live in this country and has had to pay their taxes and live on a budget to pay their bills and buy groceries.
It seems that the Honeymoon between Obama, those of whom supported him and the media that personified him, just may be over and the divorce is on it's way!
 Keep an eye on the horizon, there just may be someone that will be able to achieve what is actually in the best interest of the people. Until then, God Bless all of you and God Bless The United States of America.

Letter To President Obama

September 18, 2009


President Barak Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20500


Mr. President,

     I am an American Patriot, through and through, and wanted to notify you that I, as well as many others, are very much aware of that which you are diligently and expeditiously attempting to bring to fruition in this great country to which we all call home. You may attempt to dismiss me as a radical, a right-winger, or even a racist, but, I can assure you that I am none of these or even any others which you may consider. I am an American that is very observant and attentive to that which occurs in the open and that which is not supposed to be known. You may, if you are so persuaded, to delve into my personal life, but , I can assure you of the fact that I do not subscribe to the right-wing mannerisms, nor am I a follower of those to which seem to preach that you are the instigator of the events that are taking place or yet to be. As I stated previously," I am very observant" and I do not take things said or done at face value, I look beyond them.

     I was very proud of the American people for finally overcoming many years of indifference and electing our first black President. I believed that this was to take us on an enlightening journey, which would create a brand-new era for the betterment of our great land. Much to my dismay, but not totally surprising, you have decided to take us on a journey that is not and cannot be found on any map. All of the denials of that which was being exposed concerning yourself and your beliefs and agenda's before the elections and then after the elections, all the confessions to which you so adamantly denied before. Along with all of the apologetic rhetoric in which you have displayed to the world concerning America, the systematic dismantling of our free-market system, the corporate and organizational take-over's, the lack of concern for all of the American people, the irresponsible manner to which you have chosen to govern, the attacks on those of whom have worked diligently in order to protect us, the caliber of those to which you have chosen to surround yourself , the weakening of our defenses, always having to be in the spotlight, and attempting to deploy your off the wall agenda's, enabling the race issues and many other bizarre ideals to which you may be pursuing, I am concerned that we may be on a journey to which we will not be pleased with.

   With that being stated, I know that you are pursuing the world stage in order to accomplish a position in it. I believe that you are attempting to bring upon this country more trouble than we are able to deal with and I know that there is a dark side to your agenda that , when complete , will cause great turmoil for all of us, and with the turmoil, you can position yourself to push through that which cannot be accomplished otherwise. Within the perimeter of your own agenda, I believe you to be treading on treasonous territory. I know that the current events unfolding with some of those of whom you have surrounded yourself and ACORN, were totally unexpected and by remaining silent, you are bringing condemnation upon yourself and your administration. I earnestly hope that you do not cross the threshold of treason in your endeavors, or it will not create a great legacy for your Presidency or for the people whom you represent. Give the American people back the control of this country and together we can be great once again, united for the good of all man-kind.

   Please feel free to contact me and we can discuss this further.

Sincerely,
Eugene Weatherford

Make It Known

                                                      GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!
                                COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBILITY, DUTY, and RESPECT
As we awaken each and every morning, we see that the virtues of Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect fleeting from the scene of everyday life. This is the biggest downfall of the once Awesome and Great Country of These United States of America. None of the virtues of life on this planet can be found in abundance any longer. They used to be prevalent and prominent in the lives of everyone, especially as we, as Americans and fellow members of the human race, took on our daily routines and challenges. It seems as though it was only a fairy-tale of long ago, "Once upon a time and far, far away". In order for us as citizens of this earth, especially Americans, you know, We The People, we must produce the intestinal fortitude to change it. We must get back to the basics, to a time when Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect was dominant in the lives of each and everyone of us, those of us who remember, and those of whom have gone on before us. It used to seem as though Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect came so naturally that it was part of our DNA. It was prominent in our actions and in our every word. But, we know this is not something that can be bred into us, it had to be learned. Our parents and grandparents taught us these virtues by the way they presented themselves and by every word they spoke. We, of whom remember, were taught by example. We are still taught by example today, but the examples are not very good ones. We see on a daily basis that there is a shortage of those of whom are taking on the obligations to our children in order to teach them how to be successful in life, the correct way, and show them how to get along with everyone no matter who they are, where they are from, or even what they are. It is almost non-existent, and for those of whom are trying to do the right thing, they seem to be fighting a losing battle due to society trying to teach them the opposite of that we are attempting to teach. Today, that obligation has become an inconvenience and is cast aside. What an injustice we have heaped upon our future. It is difficult to teach the right way of doing things when they mostly see wrong being rewarded more than right. This has become the norm and is the cause of society's breakdown and we will continue to fail if we do not make the necessary changes. We must stop looking to those who continually do wrong to correct this. We cannot find it in any political party or government organization.  If you do not understand that to which I speak , just  turn on the television or radio, pick up a newspaper, or just take a look around. This is why corruption is everywhere and in everything. It is in our governments, our schools, our churches, our businesses, and even to the basic necessities of our every day lives. It all comes down to one thing that seems to be the cause of all of the problems, GREED. We must look to ourselves for the answer and the means to correct it.  Our governments, not all, but most, are totally infested with it. Most of them are only concerned with what they can get and are not happy with it when they get it. They want more and more, and if we do not give it, then they find some way to take it. They will even go so far as to do away with our rights and our liberties and even to the point of perverting justice in order to accomplish that which they are determined to achieve. They will even go so low as to selling us out to other countries in order to do so. The era of tyranny, totalitarianism, debauchery, and elitism is in full bloom along with the theology of anarchistic and monarchical ideals and the overwhelming pretentiousness of our political leaders in all levels. If you are not familiar with these terms, then I challenge you to look them up and then decide for yourselves how they apply. While they tell us, with a smile on their faces, that they are doing what is best for us all, they are crushing and destroying the very foundations of which our forefathers formed this country. Our Constitution and our very Rights are being exploited and demolished before our very eyes. Our schools are failing our children by not teaching them correctly and preparing them for their upcoming role in our society. This has happened due to the interference of the government in our education system. They refuse to teach  the proper history of our country or the world and inflict them with their own ideals and theologies. They strip them of their individuality and their ability to use their minds and imaginations. Our children have become no more than drones rather than people. Our churches, not all, but most, have failed us immensely, by not doing what they were meant to. They have been caught up in the whatever feels good cannot be wrong ideals. They have been initiated into the world of greed as well and are mostly interested in how much they can get. They have failed the people by not holding true to that which they claim to believe. The reason that there are so many dependent upon the government for help is due to the fact that the churches have not fulfilled their obligations and duties as God's stewards. They should repent and get it right before it's too late. Our businesses, again not all, but most, are filled with the want for money, greed, and are totally consumed by it. They will allow products or services into the public and into our homes knowing that they are inferior and potentially harmful and not be concerned because they are blinded by the fact of how much they can make and get by with if they can pay off someone that is supposed to be overseeing the process. They are so obsessed by money that they will over inflate their pay and not think of how difficult it may be for consumers to obtain their products or services. The ones they really stick it to us with are the necessities such as gas, groceries, and the things we need to sustain our everyday lives, power, communication, health care, etc...  Now to where it all begins, people in general, once again not all, just most. They are so wrapped up in themselves that if and when they see something wrong, they act as if it is not happening just so they are not bothered or involved in it. If they see someone doing the right thing, they won't take the time to acknowledge the fact that they were doing a good thing or they criticize them for even taking the time to do so. Through the years we have been desensitized to all forms of deviation and madness, whether through television, movies, video games, and most recently, the internet. It is through these avenues that we have become numb to corrupt politics, major crimes, and even to the point that if someone is doing or believing in something that does not agree with what we do or believe in, then they are forced to not fulfill their rights because of it. For an example, If one child is allergic to peanuts, then we keep all children from having them instead of the parents teaching them to stay away from that which could do them harm. Parents have, for one excuse or another, failed to do their jobs as parents in how our children think, feel, believe, and conduct themselves in society. The jobs as parents has been turned over to everyone else, be it teachers, pastors, law enforcement, etc.., just as long as the persons to which has given birth to the child or children does not have to be bothered with the responsibility. As this takes place more and more, we wonder how we have come to the place where we are now. We are so oblivious and caught up in ourselves that we allow our government to take control of almost everything and not even bat an eye about it. This is why we have children killing children, other people and even their own parents. They have no respect for their elders because most of them see their elders being disrespectful themselves. The same goes for responsibility, they see so many others being irresponsible that it seems as though that is how it is supposed to be. Remember, children learn by example. It seems as though everyone is searching for the easiest way to do everything. Nothing good or worthwhile is easy. It is time to get back to the basics, COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBILITY, DUTY, and RESPECT, if we do not, then we are going to see it get a lot worse. If you think that the thought of becoming socialist bothers you now, just sit back, as we have been doing, and that will be nothing compared to what will be. The upcoming elections and even the Presidential election a little later on is to be the deciding factor in where we are to end up as a country. We need to vote carefully and  put aside the party thing and vote for those of whom display Common Sense, Responsibility, Duty, and Respect. They don't have to be rich or even experienced in order to do the job. I, for one, was proud of the fact that America had finally overcome it's past and elected an African American as President, but, we did not know at the time that he would take us down a very dark and dangerous road. He is our Manchurian candidate and for all the purposes that have come to light, we know why he was elected. If you speak out against anything that he does, especially the wrong things, the race card is immediately played, and those of whom put him there knew that it would be this way. Everything that can be done to distract us from what is really happening is being done. We had better be more vigilant in keeping our eyes and ears open and pay attention to what is going on or we are heading for real trouble. Government is becoming too involved in everything and taking control of things that they have no business in, we have to put the brakes on this and fast. We are being dictated to by other countries and organizations on how we are to conduct ourselves and our very way of life, this too needs to stop. Healthcare and the free market systems are being invaded and this also needs to be halted. Government has lost touch with reality and we, and only we, can change this. It is time for those who are supposed to work for us actually come from us, having to work for the means necessary in everyday life, living on a budget, having to decide whether to buy food or make a whole car payment, because this is the real America. I am sick and tired of the lip service given us at every election when they have no idea what it is really like out here. And telling us that they are going to fight for us when they have no intention in doing so. We need to be rid of those of whom have taken advantage of us and taken us for a ride for so long. They are the reason why the rest of the world thinks so badly of us. It is those of whom represent us that they do not like, not the American people as a whole. It is because of what we let our leaders get away with as to why they no longer respect us. How can we influence anyone else when we allow all that is happening to continue? Is it any wonder why they do not want to listen to what we have to say or want us involved in their lives? If America is to be respected and revered as before, then we have to change the way things are done in this country. We need COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBILITY, DUTY, and RESPECT in Washington DC and everywhere else in America that there is a political office and positions of authority With this, we will have more compassion for one another and more consideration towards one another as well. All of the racial nonsense has to stop and stop now. We could have already been past that, but our so-called leaders would have none of it. You have to understand that our so-called leaders would not have any interest in anything unless there is profit to be made, regardless of who or how many are hurt by it. This includes a lot of things, and if you take a few moments to give it some thought, you will realize that it envelopes quite a few areas to which we have had problems with, race, religion, education, immigration, political standings, etc. & etc... May God Bless Us All, whatever or whomever he or she is to you, and continue to watch over us, and lead us and guide us in the ways we should be heading. Until the next time, Your Fellow American,

Pay Attention

                        If you are paying attention, as I am, you have noticed that the government, as always, is doing what is better for the government rather than for the people as a whole. As with the economic challenges in which we face at this time, and for most, have been facing, the governments are serving self-interests. Once again, as many times in the past, our leaders are rushing to help many companies and institutions, and not the people. It has become apparent to most that the reasons behind these actions are that, these same companies and institutions are having an adverse effect on our leaders and their friends. At the same time, our leaders are purchasing other companies and institutions and are trying to make us believe that the American people are now owners, but in fact, the American people will not see, or receive, any benefits or dividends from them. The government will have control of them and as always, will be absorbed into, what is and has been, the vastness of what we call our government. They do these things in the name of economic recovery. It is time for all Americans to say, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”.
                      Our leaders have received many letters from the American people who are concerned about the decisions and actions of the government, which claims to be doing all they can to correct what has gone wrong and that the American people need to do what they can to help by spending. Well, we cannot spend what we do not have, right? The government can pour money into financial institutions to free up credit so that the people will be able to borrow money, but because of the elevated prices of everything, we had to choose what we could and what we could not pay which has left many Americans with credit issues that will not allow them to borrow money for anything.  We The People are caught in a catch-22, because only a few will be able to take advantage of what is being done. If our leaders can rescue their friends and themselves, then why can’t they rescue us, the people? We need to remember that they work for us, not us for them. They seem to think that they can do whatever they want and we will pay the bills, what is wrong with this?  We now have the opportunity to set an example to the rest of the world by putting faith in the people and not in the governments to fix the things that have gone wrong. The only things we need from the governments are the tools in which we can repair what needs to be fixed. The economy depends mostly on what the people spend, well, give us what we need. Out of the money they have appropriated to be soaked up by the sponges in the corporations and financial institutions,(and the governments), they can re-appropriate enough to help us. Since we are having to pay for all of this, why not? If we are rescued as well, then we would not mind as much when it comes time to pay the bill.
        It is time to allow us to be able to start taking part in what is going on in the decisions that affect us all.
           I would appreciate hearing from everyone on how you think we can do what needs to be done.
            Thank you, America. We are all in this together, so let us fix it together.

Why?

In times such as these, we find ourselves asking one very important question concerning a wide variety of issues; Why...?  When so many are either losing their jobs, homes, and even their minds, with many more wondering if and when they will be next, politicians and bureaucrats continue their needless and wasteful spending practices, raising taxes and creating or raising fees for services, and even expanding the size government; Why...?  Well, they have lost touch with reality and the people to which they are supposed to serve, and with a larger government they have the ability to intrude on and have control over us even more than they should.  You almost always hear how the government is the source of all of the problems, to this I say : No!; Why...?  The system of government to which we have become accustomed is not the problem, it is the politicians and bureaucrats that are involved in it that are the source of the problems and causing all of our pain. It seems as though most, if not all, of the decisions that are made or even considered by these, are driven by greed, power, and/or possible votes. The healthcare issue is just more of the same old politics. It has been made out to be a much larger issue than it actually is, as with many other issues. Instead of repairing the problems, they choose to either change, replace, or complicate them; Why...?  As I stated earlier, greed, power, and/or possible votes. If your vehicle's alternator goes bad, are you  going to go into more debt by buying another vehicle? No! You are going to repair the problem. It is the same with the issues at hand. You can be assured that there is money to be made by doing that which they plan to do or they would not even contemplate doing it. Create yet another entitlement, get more votes in order to retain them. Change the way things are done, make more money for themselves or for those of whom support them, assuring that they will continue to have that support. Continue to use fear in order to take more control. If they were seriously intending on correcting the systems, they would use the resources at hand in order to weed out those of whom are participating in them that do not need it,  abusing or defrauding the system, but, they will not, due to the fact that most of their voter base and those which support them are involved. It is all about them,( those in the government ), and not about all of us, the country as a whole. America, we need to take back control of our government and our country; Why...?  Because if we do not, we will lose everything. We have to take it back and place it in the hands of the people, people who understand what it takes to make it from day to day. If we fail, we all lose. We must, without fail, Restore Freedom, Liberty, and Justice in America Now!!! Why...? Because we cannot afford  to do nothing.

Concerned

          I am very concerned for the future of my country and of the people themselves. In the past we have had to endure numerous atrocities and some very difficult times and unfortunately, it seems that we are to continue on with what seems to have become the norm in this country with the government, as it has been, is now, and more than likely, will continue to be if we as a people do not take a stand for REAL CHANGE, not what we are continuously promised that never comes to pass. Each and every day as I look upon my children and grand-children, as I am sure most of us do, I can only wonder what they will face in the future. Will they even have a country to be proud of or even have any kind of freedom that would distinguish them as American citizens, it is a very scary thought just to think of what might or could be. Are there any really true Americans left here in this country? With a government that very rarely ever states the truth and is loaded with deceitful tactics, we need to be more alert and concerned with what they do now more than ever. There are some in the media that some of us depend on to fill us in on what is happening but, it seems that even they are afraid to state too much of the truth, fearing repercussions from the government or even their supporters. So, who can we count and depend on? One another. Each one of us have a responsibility to one another , as Americans, to stand together, hold one another up, and to help one another get up if we are knocked down. Remember 9/11?, well, when that took place we were all willing to stand strong together, unfortunately it did not last very long. We need to stand that way all of the time, no matter what. If we do not, we fail as a people. Is it any wonder how easy it is for us to be divided and how difficult it is for us to be united? We should not and cannot depend on the government to help us or to provide for us. We have to do this for one another. At a time when many of us are losing our jobs, our homes, our security for our future, the government had every opportunity to help the people but only chose to help their own interests, their friends, and campaign contributors. So much for a government of, by and for the people. We all need to relate back to our own Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and our Bill of Rights. We are now so far out of and away from what our forefathers had envisioned for us and we need to get back with the program. All of those who have labored, fought and died, and believed in fundamental civil changes did not have in mind a country that we have today. America, we the people have to get back on track or everything that our forefathers and ancestors have done could well be for nothing, and that does not leave too much for our future either.  According to the fundamental foundations of our country, we have a responsibility and a duty to one another to fix this government, which in turn, will fix this country and once again allow it to be the greatest country in the world. Take a good long look at our government and think about what you see. We are dealing with individuals in our government, not all just most of them, whom represent elitism, pretentiousness, totalitarianism, debauchery, tyranny, monarchical and anarchistic ideals, deception , and all out socialism to name a few. Because of these traits in most of our leaders, we are facing very perilous and defining times concerning the future of these United States of America. Most of the crisis that we are facing in this day and age can be remedied if our leaders will abstain from these attitudes and practices. The over-taxing of individuals, the health-care system, the hungry in this country, the homeless in this country, the lack of jobs, the division of peoples, the economic crisis, and many other issues staring us in the face. It can be done without total government take over or dependence on the government for everything. If we do not speak up now, these behaviors could prove to be very detrimental to our social make up. We can do it, we have the right and the duty to do so. We have to preserve our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness. It does not matter what color you may be, or which god you serve or do not, which neighborhood you live in or do not, earn $100,00.00 a year or not, it just does not matter what your circumstances are, you have  a responsibility to yourself and to others to stand together and speak out. If we had leaders that would not allow their parties to keep them from doing the right things or having to do things for their contributors before the people, and probably not rich while in office, or self serving, or stock holders, or just plain out liars, then we would probably have a more effective and efficient government which would have the people, all of us and not just some, as a first priority. How can we set examples for the rest of the world if we cannot do for ourselves. I urge you to keep these things in mind in every election and maybe, just maybe, we can get back on track. Remember one other thing, if a candidate or official cannot speak plainly or tries to talk dignified, he or she is most likely lying and has no plan to do anything that he or she has said they would do. They only speak dignified to confuse you and have a way to worm out of what was said to begin with, the typical twisting of words that they are so well known for. If you ask them a question, they tell you all sorts of things that you did not ask about and still would not have answered the question that you asked. In an era of difficult economic times, the first and foremost things for the government to cut down on is the essential services needed by us. Instead of cutting out on the wasteful spending projects and even the over-bloated salaries of these so-called leaders, they go for our essentials every time, without fail. It is about time for us to rise up and say "enough". If we do not, then it will only continue to get worse. They also play the game of watch this hand and not the other one, while they pretend to lower taxes or fees on one thing, they are raising another or creating a way to get more of our money. I implore you, urge you, to read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. When you do, you will see for yourselves that what our forefathers fought England for is happening again right now. What you have to be willing to ask yourself is, am I going to just sit back and accept this as the way it is or am I going to take a stand and fight for a better way of life for myself, my children and my grandchildren? As Superman used to say, before they changed it, Truth, Justice, and the American way. Well, what are you going to do? Accept it and hope it get's better on it's own or are you going to stand and fight for you rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
I am looking forward to making real change with all of you Americans, if you feel that it is worth it to you.
Thank You for your time and hopefully we can make it right.
                  Your fellow American,
