July 15th 2009:
Well do You agree with me? All the excitement that was flowing across the
country before the 2008 elections is now gone. President Obama ran a campaign that was just so
much hot air. Now that he is in the big house he is acting more and more like "W". The one thing
that is different is that the republicans seem to be against most of the things they were for before
the elections. I hope that you the voters have seen that political party really doesn't matter. no
matter who is in the white house the other party will oppose a great majority of that President's
idea's. The only constant is that the people we elect do what is best for big business and
themselves not "WE THE PEOPLE". Have you ever noticed that people who get elected for the first
time talk one way before they get elected and then after they get in office they flip on most of the
things that we loved about them. What happens to them when they go through that walk through
with long time members of congress. I have decided that the only way to find out what the big
change in people who get elected is to try to get there myself. I also want to be able to tell the real
people what is really going on in congress. I believe that congress does whatever the hell they want
to do for the first year to eighteen months and then pass bills that the people love. You can see who
the people you elect really are in the first year they are in congress. If I am blessed and win a seat in
congress You will know who i am for the whole two years. With me you get what you see, I don't put
on a false face for anybody. I am a believer in the fact that if you want to change something don't
bitch and complain get off your duff and do something about it. In the last 9 years we have watched
as our government spent money like a drunken sailor. Weather you love or hate President Clinton
he left a surplus and President bush proceeded to go through money like it wasn't his oh wait a
minute it wasn't his. I don't know how all of his business's did when he owned them but i have
heard that his daddy's friends kept them from going bankrupt. that is just a rumor i heard so don't
take it literally. After we seen what he did to the countries bank account i wouldn't doubt that
statement. I am also getting very tired of people saying that the current economic problems are
President Obama's fault. He took over a country that was teetering on the depression cliff. It's like
blaming a customer of a bank of robbery because the guy before him took the cash and ran. All that
said the current administration is turning it's back on the people who sent him those $25.00
donations. When will a man in the army that is gay, a man that wins the silver star, has to be kicked
out of the service. This President seems to be extending many of the illegal programs going that the
previous administration put in place. While I supported this President during his campaign I am
disappointed in his policies thus far. The people have no way of really knowing how a candidate can
be trusted. They can lie the whole time the campaign they can tell us that they are going to give the
middle class a huge tax break and then on the first day in office they can raise the taxes on those
very people. Well that is what is happening now we have been screwed there is only one difference
in the two parties the democrats tax and spend and the republicans borrow and spend. I don't know
about you but i prefer the tax and spend way of doing things pay as you go so to speak. the borrow
and spend philosophy has put us in a huge hole an 11 trillion dollar hole. so next time you go in that
booth ask yourself one thing do you want to borrow even more money that your great grand kids will
have to pay back (you know it won't be paid back before then) or would you rather pay as you go?
both parties want only one thing and that is to split up the people so they can't take back control of
congress. If "WE THE PEOPLE" ever got control we could put things back the way the founding
fathers wanted. so get off the couch and do something anything just don't sit there and watch as
you lose every right you have.
Been gone a while.
July 14th 2009:
I am beside myself and i hope that many of you are also or it's just me and i may be
crazy. I am struggling with the fact that a President or a Vice President can ignore the constitution
and not only get away with it but that our new President agrees with him. I am livid i want "W"
prosecuted and if at all possible put in jail. We the people live knowing that if we break the law and
get caught we will pay the price whatever that price is. We have been fed a pile of crap all our lives
because we were gullible enough to believe all men are equal under the law. There are men and
women dieing every day to keep our rights in tact but those rights are worthless because our
President can do anything he wants and there is nothing to stop him or even make him pay if he is
caught breaking the law or ignoring the constitution. I was so excited when Obama won because i
bought his crap and believed he would do what's right an protect us and our rights. I now know i
was a moron he is no different than Bush was he wants the POWER that makes him a near KING.
I have for years tried to get my son to run for office as a candidate for the U.S. House of
Representatives. This year i have given up and i will run myself as an independent so please help
me anyway you can. I am doing this just so I know what really happens in congress and to do what
the law and the constitution say's has to be done. I live just south of Springfield Illinois and my REP
is Congressman John Shimkus of district 19 in Illinois. I will not talk about religion unless someone
asks me to and then i will tell all you need to hear to understand where i stand so to speak. I have
many things to say but for this page I will talk about current events and things that just piss me off.
join in the fun and post on my forum page give me some idea's of what you want me to write about.
You may not like what i say but i will call it like i see it. Come back often there will be STUFF here that
you may love, hate or just laugh at. No matter what you believe remember we are americans first or
like i love to say AMERICANS4AMERICANS.
May 6th 2009:
Well it looks like the more things change the more they stay the same. As i have
stated before I am an independent and as such i don't care who is in charge only what they do
while they are in charge. Recently my son was pulled over for a made up reason the ticket said his
plate light was out. When i went to pick up his truck the light was working fine. I had the two guys
that was working there write and sign and date the note that was written by their hand. He was
then tested for a DUI and failed the test. While I agree he should have gotten the DUI he should never
had been pulled over. The moral of this story is when a normal everyday citizen breaks the law he is
punished but if the president breaks the law by torturing people he just goes about his daily
business. I am pissed about this, my son was arrested on a drummed up charge and he is expected
to just accept it and go about his business. I now wonder how many others have had this done to
them. Will he have this happen again in the future? If this is allowed to happen what can be said of
our justice system? Any of us can be pulled over at any time for anything they want to lie about. I
don't know about all of you that read this but that both scares the hell out of me and pisses me off at
the same time.
May 6th 2009 part II.
Well it looks like the banks own our congressmen they lobby and the
congressmen jump on the wagon. The banks lobby congress with the money we gave them and
with their other hand they raise the rates on our credit cards. Because of this I want to lobby
congress for the AMERICANS NOT THE CORPORATIONS. If you feel the same way as i do please help
me help us. send me your hard earned money we need to lobby the very people that are elected to
protect us from the boogieman but they now work for the boogieman. I promise i will spend as
much as you give me on fighting for the America that was founded so long ago. Please help me fight
the good fight. It flat out PISSES ME OFF THAT WE HAVE TO BUY THE PEOPLE WE ELECT TO
PROTECT US. If my cash parking doesn't work leave a note and i will get it working we must fight
back and we need to do it soon. I have no faith in any of our elected leaders they say all the right
words in the right places but they don't walk the walk. It's a funny thing we think we elect people to
represent us but in fact the corporations get those people elected and they make sure those people
that they got elected vote the way they want them to. We need to buy them back with more free
speech(money) than the corporations give them.
April 16th 2009:
Man it's really strange to see a Texas governor claiming the first amendment and
meaning he can say whatever he wants to without repercussions. It seems like only yesterday that
the former Texas governor was telling people that they could say whatever they wanted to but it
would cost them dearly. careers were threatened and one was fired because he spoke out against
the mighty Bush. Hell I may be beaten down just because i used his name like this I may be forced to
give up my website because i used his name in vein. If you read this don't agree with me or you may
pay dearly also. I watched the news read the main websites and shook my head. How can there be
papers released that incriminates the past administration from top to the bottom. I am one pissed
off independent. It's ok for our political leaders to start wars, commit treason, and break the
Geneva convention, but if a 18 year old kid smokes a joint he must go to jail. don't pass go don't
collect $200.00. I know I have talked about pot for several days and i really don't use it but i kills me
to see people so young have their lives ruined. How in the hell can we punish people for smoking
pot? Who are they hurting? If a kid smokes pot I know that at least 1 kid isn't going to hurt anyone.
The only thing that he may rip apart is the wraper of a twinkie. Well enough of that lets talk about
those poor billionaires. I know that they pay a great great majority of the taxes but they also get the
great majority of the money. when there are millionaires and billionaires saying that they should pay
more taxes. If you want to get the economy going again give more money to the bottom 75%. those
are the people that will spend that money. If you give ten million dollars to a billionaire they not only
won't spend it they can't spend it. trickle down economics are a joke it was made up to get an
excuse to hand ever so much more money to the wealthy. go back to pre reagan and look at the
balance of money. what was the difference from the bottom 25% to the top 25%, now look at todays
spread. what the republicans have done to us can't be forgiven. Not only have they created a
permenate poor class they have came close to tipping our economy back to a depression. when the
top 5% have more money than the bottom 95% there will be a massive crash. If Obama can't turn
this around soon we will be eating milk soup again. I was born in 1953 after the worst of the crash
was over. i had nothing everything was hand me down. we were crawling up from the depths of the
depression. the CEO made maybe 100 times the salary of the lowest paid employee somebody
needs to look that up and post it on the forum. after i get this up and really running i will add two
more pages and if it is a hit then i will expand this site as far as you want me to. I am just a ordinary
average white guy. all i want is to help you and me i was never rich and never will be. if i get extra
money i help some one who needs it. 2 years ago i bought a toyota and i drove it 2 days before
lending it to a young guy who had nothing. he drove it 2 years and now it's toast. I won't make him
pay me a dime and yes i will fix it back up and if some young guy, girl, couple needs it i will loan it out
again. So this site is just me hoping you will help me help you. i am an American just an average
American that's 4 Americans.
April 16th, 2009:
I have just scanned the CNN.COM website and once again i read about a politician
covering the hind quarters of others that have done some very very bad things. The reason Obama
won't prosecute the CIA officials is because if he did allow that then there would be no way to stop
the previous administration from being prosecuted. Bush and Cheney should be prosecuted for war
crimes just as the Nazi officials were. If we don't hold our leaders responsible then there is nothing
to stop someone in the future from doing the same things. We send our kids to jail for years for
smoking pot but if you are a president you can torture people and get away with it. I don't smoke pot
but if i had cancer and couldn't eat i damn bet you i would get me some and smoke it eat it whatever
it took to be able to eat again. It's funny the things we make legal and illegal in this country. If the
people can grow pot themselves they may be able to use that and not spend money on prescription
drugs. I wonder what the real reason pot is illegal for? We seem to be willing to kill people to stop
them from smoking it. We will ruin the lives of our kids just to stop others from smoking it. Is there
anything we won't do to stop people from smoking it? I wonder what those words written so long
ago stand for? LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. does it mean just what the
government of the day wants it to? Does it mean the same thing for all or just what some want it to
mean? To me it means that if i do something to myself and harms no one else then that is just fine. I
guess it means you can live and you can be happy just as long as you do what i say. as for liberty
well you can have that too as long as it's by my rules. Well then as i started this blurp of mine those
that tortured are infringing on my LIFE LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. AND OH BY THE WAY
DIDN'T PRESIDENT BUSH TAKE AN OATH TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION and isn't that the worst
crime of all? We have seen our newspapers covering everything but what they should have been
covering and that is our government. our freedom of the press amendment is there for a reason
and that is to protect those in the news industry from those in government. We count on those in
the news to hold the government's feet to the fire so to speak. Well for the last 8 years everyone
has stood by in silence while our leaders have commit unspeakable evils. there are 4 pillars to our
form of government 1.) the executive branch 2.) congress 3.) judicial and 4.) the press. when one or
two of these fail we count on the other 2 to pick up on the failings of the others. in the time frame
between 2000 and 2008 two of those pillars failed us 1 couldn't prosecute anybody if a case wasn't
brought before them and 1 just stood by and watched as the tent fell to the ground. Of all these the
most painful was the press. The press was lead by people everyday people and they fell silent mybe
because we have no true leaders in the press or maybe they were forced into silence. Whatever the
reason the press let us all down and if we have no voice then we are no longer a Republic. If we
have lost the press then we have no voice at all. If the President wanted to pick me up and torture
me and the press fell silent i am sure no one would ever hear about me and my plight. What our
President did in the name of god and country was illegal and he committed a high crime. The
President before him was impeached because he lied about oral sex man he was a bad man wasn't
he? We allowed a President to break the law and even ignore the constitution and he didn't even get
a slap on the wrist. As far as i can tell President Obama should now be impeached because he is
now in violation of the same laws as the ones President Bush broke. By not prosecuting the
previous administration he is furthering their crimes. Do any of you remember the "WE THE
PEOPLE" part of this country? By writing this i am putting my views out there for all to see. please
let others know about this site. I want to become a voice even if it is just a small one. I still believe in
that crazy notion of "WE THE PEOPLE".
April 16th 2009:
"NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Initial jobless claims plunged to 610,000 in
the
week ended April 11, reported the U.S. Department of Labor." I found the preceding sentence on
the "CNN" web site. after reading it i wondered if the fact that so many people had lost there jobs
already impacted those numbers. We have so many people looking for work they will take any job
they can find. All i hear is how the American workers need to renagoshate their contracts while the
CEO's have to take a dollar for this coming year. Well that sounds great but the workers have to live
on much less they didn't make $10,000,000.00 the previous year. If i made $1,000,000.00 last year i
would pay the company $50,000.00 to work for a company. In the end it's the workers that are
getting screwed just like every other year. All I know is if you made $500,000.00 last year you can
afford to take a cut in pay and you don't have to reopen your contract and rework the numbers. The
union workers MUST reopen their contracts and give concessions in their salaries that match
forgien companies. I never hear a CEO taking a hit by matching his/her salary to a forgien CEO's
pay. This country goes from republican to democrat and the only thing that changes is a democrat
taxes and spends while a republican borrows and spends. Most laws that deal with corporations
and workers go the way of the corporations. 1). off shore address to avoid taxes 2). sending jobs
off shore cutting jobs in the U.S.A. 3). alowing forgien workers in to take some of the higher paying
jobs by working for less. number 3 also impacts the salary of the workers that are americans they
have to work for less or give their jobs to even more forgien workers. The jobs that are sent off
shore may have the american workers teach their jobs to the forgien workers knowing they will be
umemployed when the people learning those jobs do finally learn those jobs. Our leaders are there
to help us but it seems they are there to help the corporations. there are many things we can do but
as long as i am only one we can't do this. It will take an army of americans 4 americans to get the
attention of the corporations. the corps(corporations) run the country not the people we elect. join
me help me help our kids it's to late to help ourselves. As long as we stay divided they win we must
unite to make the changes that are needed.
April 15th, 2009:
I just heard that the neighborhood that our beloved "W" has moved into just
retracted a no Blacks rule in 2000. This is the man that was going to brig together our nation. This
from a man that gave lip service to anyone that was worth less than let's say 750 million or so. "W"
was a horrible president and now that he has retired he is showing his true colors. How a true
American could have voted for this man is beyond me and they voted for him twice. In the not to
distant future there may be yet another Bush running for president. That by itself is not scary in the
lest but what is scary is the fact he may get elected. Our country has become divided along party
lines. Blue vs Red, black vs white, democrat vs republican. The fact that another Bush could be
running as a Republican means he will get millions of votes not because the people want another
Bush but because he is a Republican. We as a nation MUST start voting for a Man/Woman vs red vs
blue, for a leader vs a party. It's time that we as a country wake up and seize our nation back away
from the party that taxes and spends from a party that borrows and spends from the democrats and
the republicans. Damn it we are a nation of Americans and it's time we remembered that. I will
post more here later when the pain die's down some. please stop the crap we have been force fed.
as long as we are divided they win. As a great man once said together we stand divided we fall and
another great man said divide and conquer.
April 11th 2009:
Well by now you should have a pretty good idea what I am all about. I have always
thought that the big difference between the DEM's and the GOP was the GOP borrows and spend
while the DEM's tax and spend. There is one strange thing about me, I have voted for DEM's and
GOP alike but i have never voted for an independent. My favorite President is a GOP member as is
my favorite governor. I must admit i voted for every DEM i could with the only exception being my
congressman who is a GOP member. I believe that "W" was the worst President we ever had and I
find it repugnant that the GOP refuses to even Talk about voting for a bill that Obama wants. so here
we are on a true crossroad the next 1 or 2 years will be huge and the GOP wants to make life
miserable for Obama. This isn't about DEM's or the GOP it's about the future of this nation and thats
why the GOP has pissed me off. When we get out of this mess and we will I just hope i have some
money left. I admit I was very excited to see Obama win and now I am just disappointed. he will be
continue to spy on Americans and that is unforgivable. If the GOP can nominate a valid and good
candidate i will be voting for that candidate. Now I want to close talking about pot which is my topic
of the week. I have no idea how much money is spent every year arresting prosecuting and housing
those that are so fortunate to be caught smoking pot. pot is NOT a gateway drug it is a drug that
causes user to kill bag after bag of potato chips now that's violent. Why in god's name we allow
drug dealers the opportunity to ruin a kids life and on top of that get rich doing it. roughly 60% of the
profit Mexican drug cartels make is from selling pot. We will never ever win the war on drugs no
matter how much we spend doing it. When you ask a politician about legalizing pot they more than
likely will laugh. If it's a war what the hell is so funny? When we do make it legal and we will we will
rake in more than the most generous estimate by far. We will rake in billions and while we do we
also won't be spending billions fighting a war we can't win. If you don't believe me ask your
congressman when he thinks we will win that war. after he doesn't give you an answer ask him
when he thinks the war will start going our way. If he doesn't answer that ask him how much more
money needs to be spent to just turn the tide. After he doesn't answer that ask him if he thinks the
war can be won. After he doesn't answer that ask him if it is even possible to slow down the sale of
pot. Believe me this is a war that can never be won and they know it. The war is fought just to be
fighting it. They just want to be able to tell us that they are on the job and pot sales will be on the
decline soon. Hell we were fighting this WAR since 1492. This war is a joke plain and simple. I have
always wondered if the politicians were getting rich one way or another off this war. the next kid
that has his life screwed up forever may be your kid or grand kid think about it does it make any
sense to you now? what i have written here may not be the 100% true but it is as close as i can
make it be. It is at least 95% true and it very well may be 100% true. the part about asking your
congressman is 1000% true. ask him/her and find out for yourself. next week i will write about jobs
and oil and CEO's and maybe pot some more. I hope to hear from some of you so i can write about
what you want to hear.
April 10th 2009.
Well let me ask a question here first. What do you think it will take to make Ruben
Navarrette Jr. will be happy? I am beginning to think he wants all of Mexico to move here and take
all the jobs that only need a lower education to get. I don't think he will stop his complaints till every
Mexican that wants a job in the U.S.A. gets a job. We the people are standing in the way of his
followers and he wants us to get out of the way so they can have a job. When i was a kid in my late
teens and early twenty's it was hard to find a job. I was lucky i went to school to learn computer
programming. I found a job in 1972 as a computer operator and retired as a system/database
designer. today our kids are in trouble there are few jobs and even fewer without a college
education. I have three kids one finished high school and went to work then one who i sent to
college and she refused to take it seriously and failed. I told her she was making a huge mistake
and i also told her that when she did go to college she had to pay for it herself. She is in college now
and she is paying for herself. my third child is a young man now and he is uber smart but he doesn't
do his home work. I have told him i will send him to college but if he fails he has to get a job and pay
for college himself. all this brings me back to Ruben the way i see it is he would love nothing more
than for my kids to be out of work so the people he writes about could take their jobs. I have no
respect for Ruben he needs to write about a way those that are here illegally to return home and
come back in a legal manner. I believe that we should in no way help those that break the law to be
forgiven with a slap on the wrist. if i was to rob a bank should i be forgiven and then handed the
keys to the vault? We the people are getting hit from every side. Corporations move there home
base overseas so they don't have to pay taxes they then send our good paying jobs away. If that
wasn't enough they get the H-1B visa limits raised so they can bring in people from india and
elsewhere that will work for less to take more of our jobs. Then for the last straw they hire illegals
to take more low paying jobs. We get nothing Nada zip where are those that are there to help We
the people? Our political leaders are not our leaders at all they are our takers. I hear how they feel
humbled and blessed to serve the public. they are anything but humbled they take take take. they
get a ton of FREE SPEECH from lobbyist's FREE SPEECH we can't afford to PAY. please come back
and read my thoughts maybe at some point we will pool our FREE SPEECH and BUY some votes
ourselves.
MY MARIJUANA RANT:
I said that i would talk about pot this week so here it is. We as a country need to pressure our
political leaders to legalize pot. We spend (waste) billions trying to stamp out pot usage. Some by
arresting kids some by prosecuting them and way more to keep them locked up. We need to make
the government the only seller of pot for many reasons. First and foremost to prevent dealers from
spraying it with other drugs. if a dealer sprays his pot with far worst and more addictive drugs that
child is lost. We as a nation need to turn the page on this the war can never be won and the
government knew that when it started the war. between the money saved and the money brought in
via taxes we could be talking tens of billions maybe hundreds of billions. I tried pot as a child and if i
were caught and prosecuted i would have never went on to have the career i did. When we do end
the war and we will the lives alone will be worth it. So to finish don't believe your political leaders so
easily check their facts hell even try it before you send your grand kids to prison for doing
something that kids do.
I just watched GANGLAND and it fits in this RANT very well. The show told us that GANGS get most
of their money from drugs. It also showed the violence that people are subjected to if they live in
that area. drive by shootings and just hate kill many and that number isn't talked about when we get
the war on drugs speech. the government should be the only place that marijuana can be bought.
there are many reasons to legalize pot but our government would rather ruin lives and preach to us
on the evils of pot. there are kids and young adults shooting at each other every day. drugs are the
the fast and easy way for gangs to bring in tons of cash. We the people have no voice in this matter
but then again how long has it been since we did. We the people have been made irrelevant and it's
all our fault. let me hear from you what do you think?
please check out this website.

THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF PART ONE:
I am sick and tired of the political hacks saying that we should let the torture facts stay in the past
and not bring them out into the light of day. Well as far as i know we the people are on the hook for
whatever our president did in our names. not only that but i would love to hear from the Jewish
community on this. What would have happened if we said don't worry about what happened in
Germany it's in the past lets just worry about the future. Well i for one say THAT'S CRAP!!!!! If our
president did authorize torture he should be held responsible. If for no other reason but to make
sure no President in the future does it again. let me know your thoughts on this.
THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF PART TWO:
While I'm on the soap box I just as well get this off my chest also.
Here is my question of the day: Do any of You get as mad as I do over CEO's wanting more money?
Saying they wish they never had accepted the bail out money, so they didn't have to live by the
rules that are attached to the bail out. While I don't begrudge someone wanting to make millions I do
get pissed when people are killing their whole family because they feel so completely lost. We have
had several families killed because the father couldn't see a way out. So to those CEO's I hope you
have enough to feed and shelter your families. I sure wouldn't want to see more families
killed because the banking community wrecked our economy. The things You CEO's did are costing
lives and your worried about getting millions when many have nothing? So as above please let me
know what you feel about this post. Let me have it if you disagree with me and let the CEO's have it
if you disagree with them.
PRE APRIL 07 2009 OS BELOW
I am one of millions and as far as i can tell one of only a few that believes that we have been had. i
don't think that this current meltdown is the fault of the banks or the mortgage firms. I think the
cause is the fault of our congress and the past presidents. Up till a few years ago we all could count
on our jobs being there for us. Now we no longer can count on that, our jobs may be sent
outside these borders. When that happened our salaries are at peril and that is what has caused
this current wave of problems. I know that i am only one of millions and I am no more important than
the next guy but i do have a voice and i intend to use it. I hope that this is seen for what it is, a guy
saying what is on many minds. We the people have seen our leaders take money from the very
companies that have moved our jobs away. They then passed laws that rewarded those firms by
paying them to do it. Now we the people have a man in the oval office that i believe really cares
about the people and not the money. We watch as the coffers of our elected officials overflow while
the supreme court tells us that it is free speech not bribes. I have always said i wish i had some of
that free speech and i am sure you do also. Well i wanted so much to write a book that could get my
message out to the masses that will never happen because i can't write. This is my attempt to help
us to take back what has been sold out from under us. I know that no ordinary person can be
elected to the white house and not even to the Senate but we could and can get elected to the U.S.
house of representatives. We can get the votes in a district to try to stop this from getting so bad
that we are lost forever. Please read this and pass it along i am one but after you read this i could
become two. I hope that the we in we the people can become relevant once again because it
seems to have been dropped from the column of reality for the time being. For the last several
decades the we the people has been replaced with we the corporations. I for one want the policies
of my parents back not the poverty of that time but the ideals that i remember from talking to my
parents. I remember talking about Presidents back then and respecting them very very much.
Nobody said anything to disrespect that office but we never had a President that was as horrid as
"W". We the people have quit voting with our heads and started voting for a party. I have some dear
dear friends and i love them very much as i love my brothers but they are republicans and they
wouldn't vote for Jesus Christ if he ran as a democrat. Don't get me wrong i have democrat friends
that wouldn't vote for Jesus if he ran as a republican. I am an independent and my favorite governor
and President were both republicans. All i want to do here is to see if i am alone or are there others
who feel as i do. I would love to be a guy that went to D.C. and fought as a lobbyist for the We in
We the people. If i could ask for anything and i mean anything it would be for every man woman and
child to send me $1.00. I could take that money and BUY some free speech in congress for the
people and not for the corporations. That is what is happening every day of every year right now.
We the people are becoming irrelevant and that is a sad thing to say. Not only that but people feel
like their votes don't count and that will be the death of this country if we stand by and let that
happen. I know that i will never be handed $1.00 from anybody let alone everybody. so all i can hope
for is that some people will feel the same as i do. If you are one of those people then spread the
word and we need to start today to take back our country from the corporations before it's to late. I
hope that this starts a push that swings the balance of power back towards the We the people. The
We the corporations movement has to stop and soon or this country we have grown to love will
cease to exist. The other countries that have been around for hundreds or thousands of years
longer than we have will buy off the pieces of whats left. If the powers that be are allowed to
continue unchecked we will have no one to blame but ourselves. I have wondered for to many years
how to try to make a change how to impact the process. Does any of this sound like you? have you
wondered? have you looked, or have you just stood by like i have hoping someone else would
make the effort. Well i won't wait another year, month , week, day, hour, minute, second. I know
that if we are to turn this around we need to start A.S.A.P. and that means NOW. So i am asking you
to start with me, start ahead of me but please just start. I am an old man of 55, while 55 may or may
not be old (depending on which side of 55 you reside) my pain makes me feel very old. When i look
back 5 years from now i want to see this day as the day i took back control of my life. I may not have
the effect i intended to but, i will have started to try and that is all any of us can do or hope to do with
our lives. There is one more thing i would like to talk about and that is education. I find it unthinkable
that a man that drops out of college and founds a corporation that becomes one of the largest
corporations in the world could demand that all of the people he hires to have a college degree. That
being said i have another thought why is it that we demand that kids or adults for that matter get a
rounded education? Why can't we teach a student all the math he/she can learn and not demand
the they learn English also. Why is it that we keep falling in the ranks of nations in the world in
math? it's because we make these demands. We could be teaching one student math and others
science and yet others engineering, electrical, structural and so on. We complain about our
students shortcomings and yet we refuse to teach a student what he/she excels at. We need new
ideas and it seems we only get the same answers to the same questions. If you have learned
anything from these words or if you just have thought about things in a different way after reading
this. then come back every now and then to see if i have lost my marbles or maybe just maybe i
have a different way of seeing things. You may agree or you may think I'm a loon but if i caused you
to think about something in a new way then this has been a success. I will talk about many things
some you will agree with but many you won't. We are a nation of mutts some think their blood is
blue but they bleed red just as you and i do. some want a free meal and some need a free meal but
when the end of the day comes we are all just AMERICANS4AMERICANS. Today I read that IBM
wanted to move 1000 jobs to India and at the same time apply for BAIL OUT MONEY. I think that IBM
needs to learn a lesson. They get most of their money from us buying PC's and other products not
mainframes. I believe we should not buy any PC's or other products for 1 to 3 months and then ask
them to move 1000 jobs here from India or we will again not buy PC's or other products for 3
months. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO START VOTING WITH OUR WALLETS. They may not listen to our
voices but they will listen to our money after all it's free speech. This is my attempt to get the
attention of our political leaders. We get to vote every two years but they say anything to get elected then
it's back to the way things were before they had to take time out of their busy schedule to lie to us. When
we vote with our wallets they have to listen so lets put that to the test. We can bring back the jobs that
they took away but we have to do it by not buying from the company we want the jobs returned by. I
raised the idea of not buying gas from a major oil company on myspace. I posted that idea on several of
the forums and before i could finish my ID was banned and all the post's i made were deleted. From
that experience this website sprang into existence. The powers that be want us to follow and not step
out of line i was never a good line walker and i'm hoping there are many others that believe as i do.
Help me help us. next week i will talk about Marijuana in a real way and not in a way that the
government wants me to. imagine that, me not taking the party line so are you with me or am i just
some loon? We have been had you may disagree but as a very wise man once said . You may be right
i may be crazy but it may just be a lunatic your looking for.
I DON'T WANT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT I AM VERY MUCH AGAINST NAFTA AND ALL THE OTHER AFTA'S. IT IS WITH THIS IN MIND THAT I HAVE USED BOLD AND BIG PRINT HERE. I WILL NEVER USE FINE PRINT BECAUSE I AM NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING. THE ONLY REASON TO USE FINE PRINT IS TO HIDE WHATEVER YOU DON'T WANT A PERSON TO SEE UNTILL IT'S TO LATE.
