WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATORS WHO SIGNED A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR OBAMA’S HEALTH CARE MAKEOVER PLAN

IS OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ABOUT TO DIE?

Below you will find a complete list of Washington State Legislators who signed and sent the below letter to “The ‘Bama” in support of his plan to destroy our medical system.  They all need to be voted out of office as soon as possible.

The Letter:

Dear President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Members of the 111th US Congress:

As leaders in state legislatures across the country, we urgently call on President Obama and the U.S. Congress to take up and pass comprehensive health care reform in 2009.The serious problems with health care in America ‚ ever-rising costs, limited access, inconsistent quality, and waste and inefficiency ‚ converge in the states. The effects of these problems stress state budgets, exhaust family resources, result in lost worker productivity, stifle entrepreneurial spirit, and literally cause tens of thousands of deaths each year.Our disjointed health care system has formed a choke-hold on our economy, limiting job growth and economic development. We cannot fix the economy without fixing health care.Over the past decade, state legislatures have debated and implemented a myriad of reforms to bring affordability, quality and fairness to health care in America ‚ designing solutions that reflect each state‚ unique economic, social, and geographic features. States play a vital role in the health care for hundreds of millions of Americans, by administering and helping to fund public programs like Medicaid and SCHIP, enacting innovations to expand access to public and private coverage, and serving as watchdogs of health insurance companies and other players. Yet, states cannot achieve guaranteed affordable health care for all without the investment, leadership and partnership of the federal government. Successful reform requires robust federal-state collaboration.  Key priorities for reform are reflected in recent state initiatives and public opinion polls which show that Americans want more choices and options for quality health care. Americans recognize that the private sector alone has proven incapable of creating a high-quality, fair, and accountable health care system that works for all families. Therefore, a key priority for reform is the choice of a public health insurance plan that is available to businesses, individuals, and families. Another key priority is strengthening and expanding the Medicaid program with the help of enhanced federal support so that it can serve all low-income Americans. Related priorities include: guaranteeing affordability for individuals and businesses; preserving consumer choice of doctors; eliminating racial, ethnic, gender, and rural health disparities; ensuring shared responsibility among employers, individuals and government in financing health care; and, cost containment strategies that eliminate waste and inefficiency and improve quality, especially for people with chronic illnesses.  Failure to pass national comprehensive health reform now will further jeopardize state and local budgets, undermining public services like education, public safety, and transportation infrastructure.The recently passed economic recovery package includes a number of positive health care measures, but these do not remove states from the critical list. Achieving a high-performing, affordable and quality health care system for all US residents is central to a sustainable economic recovery and to the health and financial security of all families, businesses, and governments.  We, the undersigned, call on President Obama and the Congress to enact bold and comprehensive health care reform this year ‚based on these principles and a strong federal-state collaboration ‚and pledge our support as state legislators and allies in pursuit of guaranteed, high quality, affordable health care for all.

This letter was developed in consultation with national health care reform advocates, including the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, Community Catalyst, Families USA, Herndon Alliance, National Women’s Law Center, Northeast Action, SEIU, and Universal Health Care Action Network.

(UPDATED 28 JAN 2010) IS OBAMA GOING TO SIGN THE USA INTO AN INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE TREATY? (ORIGINAL POSTING 120509)

HOT HOT HOT

I think there is little doubt that if he had his way, he would sign and ratify the treaty right then and there in Copenhagen.  But, fortunately for us, Congress must ratify before it becomes binding.  But the rub is, in this case, he is using the regulatory authority of the EPA to implement many provisions in this treaty, sidestepping the Congress.  So he thinks.  I wrote on this subject not too long ago and the key to shutting the EPA down is contacting all the Senators on the Environment and Public Works Committee and telling them that their career depends on them not allowing the new head of the EPA, Lisa Jackson, enact any rules, regulations or policies that are punitive, draconian and job and economy killers.  This “end-run” on Congress should not be allowed to stand and we citizens must hold our Elected Officials feet to the fire on this issue.  This whole situation is nothing more than another aspect of this whole climate change lie/scam and must be stopped.  These Liberals are out of control and must be reigned in AND hobbled as soon as possible.  Click HERE for the story and click HERE for the link to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and click HERE for the previous post on this issue and click HERE for a story about the new head of the EPA.  That story will make the EPA’s role in this whole scam very clear…………

IS THIS WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT OUT OF OUR DEMOCRAT STATE LEGISLATURE? ONLY A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT WOULD ENACT SUCH DRACONIAN LEGISLATION.

The Liberal/Marxist/Socialists who plan to sponsor the bill are Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina; Sen. Adam Kline, D-Seattle; and Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, D-Seattle.  I urge all to write them and tell them that even though you are not one of their Constituents, you will contribute to their opponent come next election, whomever that will be.  But to be sure, there WILL be opponents!

ROSS HUNTER-48TH DISTRICT (WA-D)

HR 6396 WA ASSAULT GUN BAN I have read this HR and I have to say it is the most draconian, out of line, over the top, extremist, Marxist piece of legislation I have ever read.  To say that it is the Clinton Assault Gun Ban revisited is a complete understatement!!  Click the link and read it for yourself.

MY LETTER TO MY 17TH DISTRICT REPS:

Do I really need to tell you how bad this bill is? As dreadful and tragic the deaths of the people this bill references, you cannot ban a “type” of gun simply because it is a semi-auto. This is nothing more than an attempt to grab guns in the name of safety because some lunatic who was bent on killing someone, did it with a gun that some people don’t “approve” of. The 2nd Amendment is inviolate and attempted bans of this nature have always met with defeat. As you constituent, I am informing you that I do not support this bogus Bill and encourage you to not support it in any way. What will be next, a ban on baseball bats the next time someone kills someone with one of those? I will be following your voting record on this and I want to inform you that if you support this Bill in any way, I will not support you in any bid for re-election and I will work tirelessly for your opponent who is attempting to unseat you.

2nd LETTER TO STATE AND FEDERAL REPS   -   011710

Do I really need to tell you how bad this bill is? As dreadful and tragic as the recent deaths are, this “knee-jerk” type of legislation is not the answer and goes a long way to demonstrate that at a minimum, the Democrats in the Washington State Senate do not have any intention of protecting the 2nd Amendment.  It is my understanding that in the case of the Police Officers at the “Coffee Shop”, the primary weapon used was a revolver, and it was emptied. It is being reported that only 2 shots were fired from what is traditionally considered to be a semi-auto hand gun.  I have completely reviewed the language in this Bill and I as a law abiding citizen, find it appalling and completely out of line.  Section 1.(20)outlines the definition of “Assault Weapons” and as it is written, outlaws many rifles, shotguns and pistols that are in wide use by all manners of Sportsmen and Citizens of this state.  To think that this legislation would have any real, meaningful, effective effect on criminals is simply delusional on the part of the authors and supporters of this Bill.  This Bill is a nothing more than a very thinly veiled attempt at a blatant gun grab in Washington State.  Section 2 (5)(a) gives authorization for the local Sheriffs Office to come into your home and conduct an inspection of your gun storage to determine compliance with this law.  This is outrageous and I am shocked that anyone who values Democracy and the right to the citizens privacy would even suggest such actions. Furthermore, in reviewing Section 3, Table 2, I am amazed at how comprehensive the list of crimes is.  It appears that the only crime not included in the seriousness levels are minor traffic infractions.  Is the intent of this section to enable the State to be able to categorize all citizens as violators of this law, enabling the “lawful” gun grab?  It seems so.  These examples that I have listed is just the tip of the iceberg in reviewing this Bill.  It is rife with draconian rules and provisions.  This is the most offensive attack on the 2nd Amendment I have read in recent years.  It is so ill conceived, poorly crafted that it’s supposed intent is lost on the fact that it is nefarious and malevolent in nature and should not be allowed to come to the floor for vote.

I will tell you again, that if you support this Bill in any way shape or form, I will find it absolutely impossible to support you in your upcoming re-election.  Not only will I not support you, I will work tirelessly for the conservative opponent vying for your seat.  Not only that, I will encourage everyone to send money to your opponent so as to amass a large bankroll to use against you in their campaign in the run-up to election.  I require a response from you on this matter.

REP DEB WALLACE, 17th DISTRICT REP REPLY 012010;

Thank you for writing about the bills that are again threatening our second amendment rights.  I can assure you that I will continue to do everything I am able to see these bills set aside.  I have been successful in the past in working with a select group of legislators on both sides of the aisle to ensure these bills don’t pass.  Thank you for taking the time to write and share your opinion to protect our rights.

Deb

3rd LETTER TO REPS minus Deb Wallace:

In reviewing HR 6396, I find it offensive in the extreme.  It blatantly violates the 2^ND AMENDMENT OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS which states that “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”. Which by the way was recently upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States. It blatantly violates THE 4TH AMENDMENT OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS which states that “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” It is also a violation of the Washington State Constitution which states “SECTION 24 RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired, but nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing individuals or corporations to organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men.”  HR 6396 also unjustly categorizes a large type of weapons as “assault weapons” which are used by thousands of law abiding hunters who are voting citizens.  For example, a father teaching his kids how to shoot safely would be a felon if his Ruger 10/22 .22 cal rifle has more than 10 rounds in it.  A home defense shotgun that has a pistol grip would be illegal and give the advantage to the criminal breaking into your house, who by the way, is not abiding by this law.  This is patently ludicrous, out of line and places the citizens of this state at an unreasonable risk.  As it is already illegal to possess a fully automatic weapon in Washington State as outlined in RCW 9.41.220, I fail to see how this HR will have any effect on keeping the guns out of the hands of criminals.  The 10 round ammo limit is in no way going to deter anything.  As I stated in an earlier letter, the shooter involved in the Police Shooting in the coffee shop emptied a revolver, not a semi-auto pistol.  All this HR does is further violate the rights of the law-abiding citizens, who, by the way, vote, and does virtually nothing to keep the “Ugly Guns” out of the hands of the criminals.  There are enough laws on the books now that if enforced, would help stem the tide of guns getting into the hands of the lunatic criminals in our society.  Is it the intention of the Washington State Legislature to disarm us Washington voters so the criminals can have their way with us?  As a citizen licensed to carry a concealed weapon, if I have more than 10 rounds in my gun, I will be a felon.  Do you seriously think that the criminal is only going to have 10 rounds in his gun!?  I think not!

Along with many thousands of other voters, I will be watching this HR as it progresses through the Washington State Legislature closely.  If you vote in favor of this HR, I will find it impossible to vote for you come your next election cycle.  Not only will I not vote for you, I will work tirelessly for your opponent and will do all I can to raise moneys for their campaign.  In addition to that, I will also send money to the opponents who run for the seats of the authors of this HR.

UPDATE 012610 WA STATE SENATE HEARING ON THIS ON THIS DATE: The Wa. State Legislature had a public hearing on this today.  Click 6396 SBA JAN 26 HEARING for the official hearing document.  A friend of mine was able to go to the hearing today.  I am awaiting his report. I will post what I find out from him as soon as I get it.

UPDATE 012710: SEATTLE TIMES ARTICLE ON THIS BILL

As this article states, it looks like we may be able to win this, however, we still need to contact our District Reps and tell them NOT to vote in favor of this Bill.  We may be able to meke sure this monstrosity of a Bill never gets out of committee.

UPDATE 012810:  I went around to the local gun shops here in town and was relieved to find out that all of them are all over this bad Bill.  I was informed that our Reps have seen the light and are working to set this Bill aside.  This is great news.  However, if you have not added your voice to this, please still tell your Reps not to vote in favor of this Bill.  Its not over till its over…….

(updated 011810) ARIZONA MAYO CLINIC TO DROP MEDICARE PATIENTS AS OF 1 JAN 10

ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS MUST PAY CASH FROM NOW ON.....THANKS OBAMA!!

This is exactly what I said would happen.  There is no Institution that can survive on less than a 3rd of the billed fees.  I am retired military and I see the statements that I get from Tri-Care outlining what they were billed vs what was actually paid.  It is astonishing!  I am surprised that any Doctor will see us retired military folks.  The government literally “stiffs” the doctors for huge sums of money.  I am sure that what we are now seeing at the Mayo clinic will spread nationwide.  All of us retired military and civilians had better hold on.  It’s going to be a real bumpy road!  Call, write your reps and tell them to not support ANY health care makeover.  It will be the ruin of us all…….

UPDATE: 011810  WHY DR’s ARE ABANDONING MEDICARE

VOTER INTIMIDATION CHARGES DROPPED BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT (repost with update)

What's with the nightstick? Are you intimidated?

I have to admit, I really was not really up on this issue so I had to do some research on the subject and I was astounded at what I found.  The Justice Department Staff Attorneys have been working on this since it occurred this last Presidential election and have been pursuing charges against those who engaged in voter intimidation, especially in Philly where the video was shot.  I want to know how Eric Holder, the Attorney General can let this matter drop when he stated that if he were confirmed as Attorney General, he would learn and rely on the experience and knowledge of these very talented people in the performance of his duties.  It appears here in this case that he has totally disregarded the facts in favor of the political solution rather than the criminal prosecution solution.  WHY?  Well, from all outward appearances, the answer is obvious.  The fact that our Representatives are allowing this to happen speaks volumes to me.  Why are they silent?  We all know why………. Click the pic to go to the video and determine for yourself if you feel that voter intimidation occurred at the polling station.  Also click HERE for a link to a very telling back story on the New Black Panther Party and determine for yourself if this organization is above board and none racist.

MY LETTER TO MY REPS:

I am saddened and concerned to learn that the Justice Department under Attorney General Eric Holder’s direction has dropped the investigation into the New Black Panther’s voter intimidation case in Philadelphia.  I have seen the video and read the information and I fail to see how the Staff Career Attorneys were over-ruled on this matter.  Lets put the shoe on the other foot here.  What if another notorious group, such as the KKK had engaged in this type of activity?  I think the final outcome would be incredibly different.  These men in this black radical group engaged in patently illegal behavior and they were barely slapped on the wrist and were taken off the hook on this.  As my Elected Representative, I demand that you do not let this issue drop.  Like the old saying, “Perception is Everything”.  Your inaction on this would lead us to believe that you condone this activity.  I for one cannot support someone who does not stand up for voter rights where ever it occurs and lets criminals off the hook by not vigorously pursuing criminal convictions on all people or organizations who engage in this activity.

DHS RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST REPORT MADE PUBLIC (repost as a reminder of how our own Government regards its own vets)

DHS SAYS WE'RE ALL RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS

I have read  and digested the report and to tell the truth, it runs a chill down my spine.  This report was obviously complied since the election and paints an ugly picture.  DHS has used a broad brush on this subject that effectively paints anyone who has a dissenting opinion as to the governments doings as a right-wing extremist.  I find the language interesting as the authors of this document try to describe what I categorize as a conservative point of view and one of someone who would be normally be called a patriot, a right-wing extremist to include veterans.  I find it interesting that on the second un-numbered page at the front, there is a bottom paragraph that states that this document is not to be given to the media as that “could adversely affect or jeopardize investigative activities“.  Well, evidently it was leaked……..and I might add for good reason.  Everybody needs to remember that this is the so called “unclassified” version of the report.  The classified version is still out there and it most probably contains much more “exacting” and “specific” data such as names, places, dates, activities and so on of peoples that the DHS HAS identified as a right-wing extremist.  I guess I am in that group as is millions of other patriotic law abiding citizens of this country.  I urge you to download this document and read it completely and understand what is being said in it…..I am exercising my 1st amendment rights here  period………..Do we all need to “Lawyer-up”? I urge you also to read the articles linked up from a top ranked Dem and Janet Napolitano herself.  The article from Napolitano is particularly telling in it’s language and her explanation of the veteran issue.  Her purported upcoming explanation to the head of the American Legion rings very hollow and indicates to me that she in fact stands by the report and what is says about vets. extremismreport-0409

Now that you have read this, what do you think?  This is purported to be just an effort to organize the State Governors AND their respective State National Guard resources in the event of terrorist attack.  But, in my most considered AND informed opinion, this Executive Order is ripe for abuse by an Administration that has less than honorable, well meaning, well intended, patriotic intentions.  It seems to me that this level of organization could be used to co-ordinate NGB/State National Guard resources for use in a declared “civil emergency”, in order to help the populace, as well as against the populace in a contrived, concocted emergency that would/could provide the excuse they need for the imposition of martial law.  Yea, I know this sounds like I am talking a bunch of conspiracy theory stuff here, but, to me, taking a lot of other actions by this Administration into account, this could be a very important piece of the puzzle/plan now being put into place.  You would need the Governors “on-board” with the martial law plan, who in turn would have to get their respective AG’s on-board also.  It could come down to important 1 “fire-wall” to save us all.  And that would be the AG’s AND the Joint Chiefs of Staff standing up and not following an order which is against the Constitution, thus making it an illegal order, one that military members are not obligated to follow by Military law.  So, are we to the point when we must rely on the military to save US from a tyrannical, out of control Government?      Hmmmmmmm.  Maybe so……….. I’d hate to think that………

GLOBAL WARMING – HEALTHCARE – AND THE CLANDESTINE DEMOCRAT CONGRESS, SENATE AND WHITE HOUSE

When I started this blog, it was with the intent of pushing on as much factual information as I could about our corrupt President, his cronies and others who needed to be exposed.  So, in this past 12+ months, I have dedicated myself to that cause.  I have worked diligently on this endeavor and I think I have done a pretty good job on passing on nothing but the truth about all the players in this sickening game.  When I started, the foremost subject of this blog was Obama.  The true journalists of the world kept me supplied with a plethora of factual, vetted information.  My goal was to get this information out so all could see that this man is nothing more than a charlatan, and to truly find out, a “wolf in sheep’s” clothing at the very least.  My efforts in sending out the warning, like Paul Revere, so to speak, were in vein because I/we could not convince the cool-aid drinkers.  In the end, he was elected to the highest office on the planet, The President of the United States.  Since day one of his inauguration, he has one to work on his agenda of “fundamentally changing America”.  Little did we know that he meant what he said, but I really don’t think many of us expected him to go down this transformational road so fast and with such chaos.   I for one fully expected him to fill his cabinet full of liberals and I wasn’t very surprised that he surrounded himself with people such as Rahm Emanuel with his “pit-bull” mentality and David Axlerod and his cunning, conniving, scheme making capabilities.  This was just to be the tip of the iceberg.  He has since filled every post he can, to include highly influential, far reaching offices and appointments with ultra-liberal, ultra-left, fringe based people.  We have seen this done repeatedly, time and time again.  There seems to be no end to this even in the face of exposure and full out investigations on all these people.  The President has demonstrated time and again that he is not concerned with our perceptions or approval.  He ignores us and presses on with his agenda.  No amount of exposure has slowed him down even when hit with the outrageous truth about these people.  I will not list them because we all know who they are.

In his zeal to get his healthcare agenda passed, he has relied on the liberal Democrats to seemingly commit political suicide.  All through this process, on both sides of Congress, we citizens have been telling them in no uncertain terms that we do not want this legislation in any way shape or form.  We did this in may forms.  We wrote letters, we made phone calls, we sent e-mails, and we went to their so called “Town-Hall” meetings.  If they had and doubts as to our wishes, they were dispelled and clarified at these meetings.  I do not know of any clearer way to get the point across to our Elected Representatives.  We all spoke in both plain and legalese and we all thought they got the message.  It sure seemed like it by the end of the summer break.  But, we were soon to realize our betrayal because as soon as they got back in session, it was back to business as usual and pressing even harder for the healthcare legislation.  We redoubled our efforts, we again expressed our displeasure.  And again, we were ignored.  In the end, the House passed their version, and the Senate did so too, albeit with a lot of vote buying and plain out and out bribery.  In summary, we were again ignored.  But not only were we ignored, all this debate was done literally behind locked/closed doors.  All of this debate was done in secrecy, being deliberately hidden from the American voting public and literally done in the dead of the night when no one is or can watch.  We raised the red flag over that issue and complained to high Heaven, but to no avail.  We are all aware that these actions are not what a Democratic, Representative Government is supposed to be able to do at all.  Yet they did it, and I might add, in an “In Your Face” manner.  The Congress in my opinion is out of control and operating outside its Constitutional boundaries.

Now this brings me to the Global Warming scam.  I was researching this topic long before it became a hot agenda item for the US Government or should I say, the current Marxist Administration?  I have has suspicions from the very beginning about the so called “Global Warming” data.  It seemed to me that it played well to easily into the hands of people, companies or organizations that may use the data to make large sums of money off the scam.  So it was no surprise to me that data to the contrary started to come out indicating that the planet was in fact not warming and that the data was false.  As you can see and read in this blog, I have posted quite a bit of information, from very reputable sources that draw attention to very reliable data to the contrary from the “main-stream” scientific sources.  It was an absolute stroke of luck (I would like to thank God for this) that the subterfuge was uncovered in the UK’s University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit, cooking the books and spewing false, misleading data that they had authored in order to promote the “Green” agenda and make some people very very rich.  We have known for a very long time who or what companies have lined themselves up to be “prepared” for this new “green” revolution.  One on which is our old buddy, Al Gore.  He started some companies that would get large contracts for all sorts of green projects.  There are so many, I will not digress to mention them all.  We know who they are.  There are a lot of other companies who have hooked their wagon to the global warming star.  Some companies are very big and are diversifying, and others are large start-ups and some are small start-ups.  I have some very mixed emotions about this because of how the governments of the world to include the US has gone about this notion of “Green is Good” ideal.  I guess I am conflicted about it because of the blatant attempt at social engineering these governments have and are attempting.  Just like the healthcare debacle, our government has pushed false data, no, lets call it for what it is, it is all a lie.  Plain and simple.  All in the name of greed.  The greed of a few powerful and wealthy people who don’t seem to really give a damn about you, me or our nation as a whole.  The well being of the citizens of this great nation is not a consideration.  Except when it comes to the depths of our pockets.  As long as we knuckle under and allow these tyrants to levy tax after tax, we will never get out of this mess.  The despots in this country are counting on us to just go with the flow and go on about our pointless little lives.  Now don’t get me wrong.  I truly believe that there are some changes that need to be made.  Our dependence on our enemies for our fuel needs has got to stop.  I believe that there are many ways to go about this, one of which is hydrogen fuel development for cars and other uses.  Instead of pouring money down the drain on all pet projects the liberal Dems want, why don’t we take that money and re-invest it in our energy independence research and development?  It just boggles the mind most of the time….

In the past 12+ months, I have endeavored to enlighten all my associates and friends as to the truth of the situation and how conservatives can get us back on track.  I am literally amazed at the level of stupidity, meanness and just plain lack of common sense that is so pervasive just about everywhere you go.  Being retired military, I am used to being in the company of like minded people who truly understand the magnitude of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and how inviolate the language is.  As a member of the military, you take an oath to “Preserve, Protect, and Defend” the tenets contained in these documents.  We take that oath to heart in contrast to so many who now seem to think that the principles in these documents are merely a “suggestion” and not a law of the land.  I can understand this attitude from people who have recently immigrated to America and come from lands where democracies are a rarity if not non-existent.  But, to those who are born American and old enough to know better, I simply cannot and will not understand how they can think that what is going on now in our government is not only ok, but want more of it.  In my opinion, it is simply un-American.  No two ways about it.  To say that what is going on is good is just plain wrong and is a slap in the face of all veterans who have served and died for this country and the Constitution, warts and all.

So here we are.  We have seen so much dirty and illegal politics, I am in overload and as you can tell, I have backed off on my publishing simply because there is so much bad stuff going on, it is tough to handle.  I am now rededicating my efforts on primarily focusing on un-seating Patty Murray, one of our Democrat Senators here in Washington State, who by the way has also walked the Harry Reid plank right off the ship.  I will publish all detrimental, true data I can find and work tirelessly for her opponent to get her out of office.  She has demonstrated that she has turned her back on her Constituents, the Constitution, and her State.  So she must be tossed out of office.  After her, Maria Cantwell is next.  Congressman Brian Baird saw the writing on the wall and has announced his retirement.  That is good because he was on all the radar screens of all us here in Clark County.  Thank God he is gone.

Now to the future and what I require and expect from the conservative candidates for these seats.  First and foremost;

INTEGRITY – I require that these people be transparent in their actions and adhere to conservative values AND The Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence.  I require them to be always mindfull of not violating these principles and laws.

NO SPECIAL INTERESTS – Do not allow special interest groups that do not support the Constitution, Bill of Rights and God, to sway the votes.

RESPONSIVE AND ANSWERABLE TO THE CONSTITUENCY:  Unlike the lip service given to us by our current Reps, I demand that these people be responsive and answerable to the people they serve.  They must not harbor any notions that WE work for them.  We all know,… it is the other way around.

We are now stuck with a corrupt government, both Executive and Legislative Branches, the likes this nation has never seen.  It may be the most corrupt and tyrannical ever.  We must change that.  We must all “Get out the vote” come November and put all these devious people out of work and unemployed.  Get to work!!  Don’t let up!

ACORN CEO IN WHITE HOUSE 1 WEEK BEFORE REVEALING, INCRIMINATING VIDEO’S AIRED

She is the CEO of a corrupt organization and she had an audience with "The 'Bama"

Sounds like “The ‘Bama was caught in another lie.  In just over a week after the CEO of Acorn’s visit, he was asked about the ACORN scandal and he acted like he has very little knowledge of the group.  As we all know by now, he was a Lawyer for the group back in Chicago, yet he feigned ignorance when asked about the group.  Why then would the CEO of ACORN be at the WH?!  It is very evident that he has little regard to what is appropriate and what is not.   He makes Tricky Dick look like a boy scout…..  Click the pic for the story
