WOW, it's been a long time!!!!  But, in my humble opinion, and according to The Federalist Papers, it's the STATES that matter the most in halting the Feds, so I believe all energy should be put into STATE and local within the state issues and races.  We've seen what WI did, what AZ has done, what FL is doing, among others.  There are enough strong STATE governors that need to be united fronts as states.  The10th Amendment matters.  Instead of pleading with Congress over and over (like it does any good - seen Reichert's voting record against spending?  It is dismal!), we need to get the power back into the hands of the states and then support the state when it stands up against the FEDS!

Republican union cash kings cave on NLRB vote

This afternoon the House of Representatives passed Rep. Tim Scott’s, R-S.C., bill prohibiting the National Labor Relations Board from "ordering any employer to close, relocate, or transfer employment under any circumstance." The legislation is aimed at punishing the NLRB for its attempt to stop Boeing from opening a factory in South Carolina.

The bill passed 238 - 186 with seven Republicans voting to protect the NLRB. All seven have taken cash from big labor:

Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.: $142,000

Rep. Chris Gibson, R-N.Y.: $15,000

Rep. Micahel Grimm, R-N.Y.: $58,000

Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio.: $1,200,000

Rep. David McKinley, R-Wash.: $70,000

Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa.: $56,000

Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska: $1,400,000

What Have We Learned In 2,066 Years?

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
Public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be
Tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should
Be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to
Work, instead of living on public assistance."

- Cicero , 55 BC

Apparently nothing.

President Obama keeps telling us what might not be paid if the debt ceiling isn't raised.

That's the wrong answer to a question that America isn't even asking.

This new iCaucus Video calls on the President to answer the real question:  

"Mr. President,  if the debt ceiling isn't raised and you're not planning on paying our debt obligations, or social security, or  medicaid, or our military personnel...even though you will have more than enough money to do so...then what's more important and what will you be paying instead with the $180 billion that the government will keep collecting every month?"

And most of those cities used to have some of the largest manufacturing companies in the world - but they've been driven out, bankrupted, "regulated to death," or simply taken over by the world's most unproductive group in the world, the U.S. Federal gov't!

Food for thought!
TEN POOREST CITIES

City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level
1. Detroit , MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland , OH 27.0%
5. Miami , FL 26.9%
5. St. Louis , MO 26.8%
7. El Paso , TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%
10. Newark , NJ 24.2%
What do the top ten cities
(over 250,000) with the highest
poverty rate all have in common?


Detroit, MI (1st on the list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961.
Buffalo , NY (2nd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1954.
Cincinnati ,OH (3rd) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984.
Cleveland , OH (4th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989.
Miami , FL (5th) has never had a Republican mayor.
St. Louis , MO (6th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949.
El Paso , TX (7th) has never had a Republican mayor.
Milwaukee , WI (8th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908.
Philadelphia , PA (9th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952.
Newark , NJ (10th) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1907.

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats
yet they are still POOR!


"You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man
by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently
by doing for them,
what they could and
should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln

A 4 minute video --- excerpts from

Meet The Press (MSNBC), 3/6/2011

 

David Gregory to Michele Bachmann:

You’re an extremist who is not liked;

You call Obama admin. a gangster government;

You think Obama doesn’t love America;

(sneer) Are you going to run for President?

 

Then the weird part that shows three Obama regime

insiders actually admitting they plan to rob from the

elderly and give to the young (invest in the future).

They also speak of the regimes wealth “Re-distribution

Machine” that has been built.  Amazing admission that

New York Times writers are apparently part of the regime

(note the royal "WE").

Should be a must read in every school in America.

It looks like we did some good after all!  On Saturday, July 24th, 2010 the town of Prescott Valley , AZ, hosted a Freedom Rally. Quang Nguyen was asked to speak on his experience of coming to America and what it means. He spoke the following in dedication to all Vietnam Veterans. Thought you might enjoy hearing what he had to say.

35 years ago, if you were to tell me that I am going to stand up here speaking to a couple thousand patriots, in English, I'd laugh at you. Man, every morning I wake up thanking God for putting me and my family in the greatest country on earth.

I just want you all to know that the American dream does exist and I am living the American dream. I was asked to speak to you about my experience as a first generation Vietnamese-American, but I'd rather speak to you as an American.

If you hadn't noticed, I am not white and I feel pretty comfortable with my people.

I am a proud US citizen and here is my proof. It took me 8 years to get it, waiting in endless lines, but I got it and I am very proud of it.  

I still remember the images of the Tet offensive in 1968, I was six years old. Now you might want to question how a 6 year old boy could remember anything. Trust me, those images can never be erased. I can't even imagine what it was like for young American soldiers, 10,000 miles away from home, fighting on my behalf.

35 years ago, I left South Vietnam for political asylum. The war had ended. At the age of 13, I left with the understanding that I may or may not ever get to see my siblings or parents again. I was one of the first lucky 100,000 Vietnamese allowed to come to the US. Somehow, my family and I were reunited 5 months later, amazingly, in California . It was a miracle from God.

If you haven't heard lately that this is the greatest country on earth, I am telling you that right now. It was the freedom and the opportunities presented to me that put me here with all of you tonight. I also remember the barriers that I had to overcome every step of the way. My high school counselor told me that I cannot make it to college due to my poor communication skills. I proved him wrong. I finished college. You see, all you have to do is to give this little boy an opportunity and encourage him to take and run with it. Well, I took the opportunity and here I am.

This person standing tonight in front of you could not exist under a socialist/communist environment. By the way, if you think socialism is the way to go, I am sure many people here will chip in to get you a one way ticket out of here. And if you didn't know, the only difference between socialism and communism is an AK-47 aimed at your head. That was my

experience.

In 1982, I stood with a thousand new immigrants, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and listening to the National Anthem for the first time as an American. To this day, I can't remember anything sweeter and more patriotic than that moment in my life.

Fast forwarding, somehow I finished high school, finished college, and like any other goofball 21 year old kid, I was having a great time with my life. I had a nice job and a nice apartment in Southern California . In someway and somehow, I had forgotten how I got here and why I was here.

One day I was at a gas station, I saw a veteran pumping gas on the other side of the island. I don't know what made me do it, but I walked over and asked if he had served in Vietnam . He smiled and said yes. I shook and held his hand. The grown man began to well up. I walked away as fast as I could and at that very moment, I was emotionally rocked. This was a profound moment in my life. I knew something had to change in my life. It was time for me to learn how to be a good citizen. It was time for me to give back.

You see, America is not a place on the map, it isn't a physical location. It is an ideal, a concept. And if you are an American, you must understand the concept, you must buy into this concept, and most importantly, you have to fight and defend this concept. This is about Freedom and not free stuff. And that is why I am standing up here.  Brothers and sisters, to be a real American, the very least you must do is to learn English and understand it well. In my humble opinion, you cannot be a faithful patriotic citizen if you can't speak the language of the country you live in. Take this document of 46 pages - last I looked on the internet, there wasn't a Vietnamese translation of the US Constitution. It took me a long time to get to the point of being able to converse and until this day, I still struggle to come up with the right words. It's not easy, but if it's too easy, it's not worth doing.

Before I knew this 46 page document, I learned of the 500,000 Americans who fought for this little boy. I learned of the 58,000 names scribed on the black wall at the Vietnam Memorial. You are my heroes. You are my founders.

At this time, I would like to ask all the Vietnam veterans to please stand. I thank you for my life. I thank you for your sacrifices, and I thank you for giving me the freedom and liberty I have today. I now ask all veterans, firefighters, and police officers, to please stand. On behalf of all first generation immigrants, I thank you for your services and may God bless you all.
