Impeach and Convict Obama
Prelude
America NEEDS you NOW.
Outline
Below are sections that deal with
The Charges
By virtue of his Oath Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) is guilty of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Impeachable under our Constitution. Some of his offenses may also qualify as Criminal. I am not a Lawyer so cannot make those judgments.
Here is a partial list of events that surround the charges
I have not detailed the charges. Congressional staffers can do their part by developing the details. In case they can’t find a way to get started, here are some “Starter Links”.
The bottom line is that there are more than plenty of documentable, Unconstitutional , Illegal, actions by BHO that demand Impeachment.
I call on the 113th Congress to do their duty or become accessories, accomplices, aiders, and abettors of these many illegal, Impeachable offenses.
Motives and Means
The MEANS are easiest to describe;
provide THE MEANS.
His motives are deep and complex. All of these have established BHO as one who believes America is unfair and needs to be Socialized then taken to full Communism.
Duties and Responsibilities
Detailed arguments about his duties and responsibilities are in Appendix A.
In summary, the BUCK stops at BHO. He IS responsible for his own lies and illegal actions. But he is also responsible and accountable for all his subordinates and their illegal acts.
(Holder, Sebellius, Reid, Pelosi, etc)
Beyond the illegal acts are his FAILURES TO ACT.
Can anyone provide a reference to BHO publicly or privately DEMANDING that those responsible for Fast & Furious or Benghazi-gate or the IRS scandal etc., be identified, prosecuted, fired and jailed?
YOUR Responsibilities
This section is simple. To the 113th congress, your Oath to Support our Constitution demands that you support and move on Impeachment and Conviction of BHO.
To Megyn and all other officers of our Courts, we need you to help America NOW. My prior pleas to GOP leaders in the House and Senate have fallen on deaf ears. I did not even get a courtesy reply to my Faxes.
If you fail, as is true so far, then YOU TOO ARE GUILTY and need to be removed from Office.
Appendix A – The BUCK STOPS at BHO
This is long but instructive…………from succinct language in our Constitution to exploring the meaning and bounds of High Crimes and Misdeanors.
Impeachment
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2013/11/the-grounds-for-impeachment.html
Grounds
The legal term "high crimes and misdemeanors" is found in Article II § 4 of the U. S. Constitution; quoting the section in its entirety:
"The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High crimes and Misdemeanors."
This section constitutionally secures a provision for the involuntary removal from office of the President, Vice-President, Cabinet Secretaries, other executive officers, as well as federal judges. The reason for this provision is the observation at the Constitutional Convention by Benjamin Franklin that the removal of "obnoxious" chief executives had, historically, been accomplished by assassination, and his recommendation that a proceduralized mechanism for removal would be preferable.
Treason and bribery are well understood crimes, and don't need much explanation here. (Treason is even specifically defined in Article III § 3.) But high crimes and misdemeanors . . . hmm, what's that? Jerry Ford once famously asserted, "An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history." To the extent that the U. S. House of Representatives is the sole and final arbiter of what constitutes grounds for impeachment of a federal official, he's right; but to the extent that this is even a remotely accurate description of the scope of high crimes and misdemeanors, it's not even close.
At the Constitutional Convention, treason and bribery were readily adopted as grounds for impeachment, but two other proposals, corruption and maladministration, were rejected as being overbroad and too vague. Instead, George Mason proposed the phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors against the state," which was shortened to "high crimes and misdemeanors" and then adopted with little discussion. The reason for the ready adoption is that the Founding Fathers were well acquainted with the concept, because it had about four centuries of precedent (since 1386) in English parliamentary use. Explaining the grounds for impeachment in Federalist Paper # 65, Alexander Hamilton wrote (emphasis in source):
"The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself."
This concept survives today in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which recognizes as punishable offenses such things as refusal to obey orders, abuse of authority, dereliction of duty, moral turpitude, and conduct unbecoming. These would not be prosecutable offenses if committed by a civilian with no official position, but in the military they are offenses which bear on the accused's fitness for the duties he holds, which he is bound by oath or affirmation to perform. Thus, the emphasis in the phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" is the word high, because we're referring to offenses that an ordinary person, who is not serving as an elected or appointed-and-confirmed federal executive (or as a duly seated federal judge) is incapable of committing. As an example, an ordinary person isn't going to have any official powers to misuse or abuse, but an elected executive (or one who has been appointed and duly confirmed) could face impeachment for precisely that reason.
The Founding Fathers were well aware of the concept of "executive accountability" (a concept also well understood by anyone who's served in the military), which means that an executive is legally responsible, and accountable, for all of his subordinates, as well as their agents and contractors (most certainly not limited to only those over whom he has direct supervision). The legal concept is a form of vicarious liability, and the standard of proof is "preponderance of evidence."
Keep in mind that that which can be "lain at the feet" of the official in question and "proven beyond a reasonable doubt" is way too narrow an interpretation of the accountability threshold. The executive in question is expected to be aware, at all times, of what every single one of his subordinates (and their agents and contractors) is doing - or is supposed to be doing - and must thoroughly remedy any misconduct committed by any of them as soon as he becomes aware of it. Nor is it necessary to show that such violations occurred at the executive's instigation or with his foreknowledge, but only that, based upon the preponderance of the evidence, the executive was, or reasonably should have been, aware of misconduct on the part of his subordinates. "Plausible deniability" is void ab initio as a defense, because the executive doesn't have the luxury of ignorance.
That executive accountability would be grounds for impeachment recognizes that holding an executive or judicial office of public trust is not a right, but a privilege, and that violating the trust invested in the office forfeits the privilege of holding it. Nor is it just presidents and federal judges who are liable under Article II § 4; there is precedent for impeaching a cabinet secretary (see: Secretary of War, William W. Belknap, impeached on March 2, 1876, and Treasury Secretary, Andrew W. Mellon, who resigned on February 12, 1932, with impeachment proceedings in progress). And it stands to reason that executive agency/bureau directors, especially those who hold a de facto cabinet rank (such as the Director of the EPA), should count as "civil officers" for impeachment purposes.

More from above…………..
After test-marketing the excuse that the IRS selectively slow-walking non-profit applications was due to the Citizens United v. FEC decision, the Obama Administration has started floating the umbrella defense that systemic incompetence isn't the same thing as corruption, and now that they're aware of the problems, we can trust that they will exercise all due competence at getting to the bottom of this. Someone needs to get the memo to Jay Carney that even the typically disinterested voters aren't buying the cockalayne that BHO learned about these things in the same place we did, the newspapers, and that outraged cluelessness isn't inspiring a whole lot of confidence in America's chief executive.
That a cabinet secretary (let alone the president) would have left key policy decisions to management-level subordinates, without so much as reviewing them, is a critical point of their culpability. Quite frankly, it boggles my mind that blatant acts of malfeasance would have heretofore escaped executive scrutiny. Specifically:
We already know that these weren't the actions of rouge operatives who'd decided to frolic outside the scope of their duties as employees of the federal government. More than one person is already on record that the orders came from much further up the management food chain than some random field office. The record is already beginning to show that executive-level officers had been briefed on some of these matters as far back as two years ago. At some point, the question must be officially asked, "What did the President know and when did he know it?" Throwing an "acting director" - who's gone in a month anyway - under the bus isn't going to cut it.
The connect-the-dots on Benghazi is enough alone to warrant the establishment of a select committee (or perhaps the appointment of a special prosecutor) to investigate what Rand Paul has labeled "staggering abuses of power" . . . maybe another marathon filibuster is in order.
I suspect that the reason that there isn't more public outcry is, in my opinion, twofold: (1) the co-opted media is having a helluva time getting past their pro-commie bias; and (2) the "bread and circuses" American culture is more interested in what's going on with the Kardashians (or the latest "teen mom" story) than what's going on in Washington. It's uncertain at this point whether the wiretapping scandal is going to arouse the media from their kool-aid-induced stupor, but Mr. Carney's job doesn't seem to be getting any easier. As for the hoi polloi . . . well, judging by the "magazine" covers that I see in the grocery store checkout aisle, until either the people's house or the fourth estate start doing their jobs, don't expect the typical disinterested voter (~68.26% of the electorate) to give a damn, and more's the pity because of it.
Because, quite frankly, and for whatever my opinion is worth, not only should Barack Obama and Eric Holder be staring down the business end of impeachment charges, but so also should Hillary Clinton, Tim Geithner, Leon Panetta, and Lisa Jackson. The abuse of power is just that egregious, and the example that needs to be set is just that severe. I have no idea what the precedent is for impeaching a federal executive who's no longer in office, but a hypothetical conviction could, theoretically, bring about the punishment specified in U. S. Constitution Article I § 3, Clause 7 (specifically, permanent disqualification from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit in the federal government going forward). That'll throw a wrench into Hillary 2016.
(And if there's any truth to the scuttlebutt that Kathleen Sebelius is using the authority of her office to conduct a shakedown of the healthcare industry in order to raise funds for the federal exchanges, then throw her in with the rest of the lot.)

From Washington post
Contemporaneous comments on the scope of impeachment are persuasive as to the intention of the framers. In Federalist No. 65, Alexander Hamilton described the subject of impeachment as
those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.59
Comments in the state ratifying conventions also suggest that those who adopted the Constitution viewed impeachment as a remedy for usurpation or abuse of power or serious breach of trust. Thus, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina stated that the impeachment power of the House reaches "those who behave amiss, or betray their public trust."60 Edmund Randolph said in the Virgina convention that the President may be impeached if he "misbehaves."61 He later cited the example of the President's receipt of presents or emoluments from a foreign power in violation of the constitutional prohibition of Article I, section 9. 62 In the same convention George Mason argued that the President might use his pardoning power to "pardon crimes which were advised by himself" or, before indictment or conviction, "to stop inquiry and prevent detection." James Madison responded:
[I]f the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and there be grounds tp believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty...63
mr. obama – TEAR DOWN THIS LAW!
Someone told me that with obummer , every morning is the dawn of a new error.
I don’t think so. Every morning is a new chance to continue his mission to transform
our Rebublic into a 3rd world communist cesspool.
He makes errors. Everybody does. But most of his actions are the result of cold, calculated, malicious,
plans to destroy America. The ACA is simply just one more of many other results he has gotten away with because nobody (at least way too few) in Congress have the fortitude to call him out.
Fortunately, the ACA has provided some Sunshine , that great disinfectant. The heat from obamacare
has finally awoken enough citizens that the DC gang is worried about their jobs.
obamacare has been outed as the greatest job killer program ever perpetrated by the Gov’t. Ironically it finally reached the point of personal pain when it threatened the jobs of democraps; and precipitated yet another LIE from nobummer. His FIX, you see, is NOT a FIX for Americans with an insurance problem. His FIX is nothing more than a deception (very poorly veiled) to take some heat off those poor frightened democraps thru the 2014 elections. After that, his FIX is …. Back to losing your insurance.
He did make an error when he refused to negotiate over delaying the ACA. The Nation would have benefited if agreements were reached. However, those agreements would NOT carry the banner of “I/ME” did it. So he refused to negotiate and was later forced (by his own democraps) to apply the FIX.
The end result is that HE has been outed as a LIAR, regardless of oprah.
For that and many other egregious failures he needs to be Impeached, or likely better tried for treason or as a subversive. But the spineless, self-serving, gang in DC won’t do that.
The ACA , like prohibition and segregation, needs to be dismantled, unfunded, repealed.
If Ronald Reagan were alive today I sure we would hear………………..
mr. obama, tear down this law!
Obama – The Bald Faced Liar
When the guarantee of the President is a lie that turns America into the laughing stock of the World and actual, real, provable, damage has been done, he has gone beyond High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The perpetual campaigner who blistered America with …..”words have meaning” certainly should know the full and true meaning of PERIOD…. No ifs, ands or buts. No later rescission with more lies.
This blog is to directly address Impeachment Articles based on his ACA lies plus other transgressions.
However, others have discussed Articles based on many other abuses, and both acts of commission and omission Reference2
Special note should be made that Rep Steve Stockman (R-TX) had a book distributed to all 435 members of the House. The book was written by A Klein+...” Impeachable Offenses...” The Book
So... will Rep Bachmann's articles proceed?
Will others who have uttered Impeachment join with Bachmann and Stockman?
Have YOU received YOUR /Insurance Cancellation Notice?
Have you wondered about………. What YOU will do?
Not only did he make a PUBLIC PROMISE to every American, he also bound the Insurance Companies, and Doctors which in typical Obama style is completely beyond his legal authority…." If you like ………PERIOD!"
.…but, he lied…in the face of numerous Government reports and warnings that his promise must be a lie… and for that, he MUST be removed from our Whitehouse.
What will the House Republican “leaders” do …with a book full of transgressions?
Will they read it…?
What will your Rep do?
What will you do?
I am sending this via FAX to the House Repub Leaders, The Senate Repub Leaders and my Senators and Congressman.
Please join me in getting the Bald Faced Lying FRAUD out of OUR White House.
Now he comes out with another lie as a fake apology.
NOTHING HE SAYS CAN OR SHOULD BE BELIEVED. HE HAS ZERO CHARACTER, INTEGRITY, CREDIBILITY. ANYTHING HE SAYS IS SIMPLY TO PUSH HIS OWN AGENDA AND MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER.
He says…. The buck stops here. I’m responsible, and I have to fix it. Well, just making another false lie promise to fix it doesn’t cut it.
He is so into …. “It’s the law, get used to It”……..that he won’t admit that he can’t fix it.
If he tries to do so by personal dictate , he will be breaking the law! And, today, he did…..break the law……..
Any law abiding citizen operating in Business would be out of Business and IN JAIL long ago.
Regardless of his omnipotent self-image, he cannot wave his hand (illegally) and undo the damage his reckless bribes ( getting ACA votes), lies(…keep your plan. PERIOD….), abuse of authority( Numerous illegal/immoral Executive Orders), and failures to act ( Black Panthers, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, NSA…) have inflicted on America.
He cannot , with an illegal wave of his hand change “settled law” nor undo the thousands of man-years expended by Insurance Companies to comply with his ILLEGAL ACA. He cannot restore the lives of thousands laid off or placed on reduced work hours to comply with his ILLEGAL ACA . He cannot blame Businesses for actions precipitated by his signature claim to infamy.
Today was just another BALD FACED LIE. It had NOTHING to do with providing relief to the millions he has injured. It has everything to do with simply taking the heat off Democrats until after the 2014 elections.
IF he felt the pain, sorrow and regret that he read from his prompter, why did it take a rebellion in his own party to get him to say something? WHY? Think about it.
What he said today amounted to….. After the 2014 Elections we will be right back where we are today, except my fellow democrats had a better chance at re-election. That is the essence of his proclamation.
In the Court of Public Opinion he is as guilty as Satan himself.
To Obama I say………Resign or get IMPEACHED!
What will you say, Mr Politician?
What will you DO?
Will you join Bachmann and Stockman to rid America of Our Enemy Within?
Whatever you choose to say and do, PLEASE do not aid and abet his criminal behavior by supporting “FIXES”.
Just before the shutdown we were admonished to leave it alone; to let it implode and collapse; to realize that it is the law.
Well, NOW PLEASE just get out of the way and let the ACA expose itself with no help from you.
Remember this…. The ACA skated in on a few bribed votes.
With NO fixes by you, those who valiantly voted against it will be joined by some (enough) who voted for it to finally repeal this illegal act of Communism.
...and make Impeachment REAL!

Subchapter A contains four parts and the topics covered are a description of the Federal Acquisition Regulations Systems, definitions, improper practices and CONFLICT OF INTEREST and administrative matters.
Subchapter B covers the procedures for helping ensure procurements are fair, open and to the benefit of the government.
Subchapter C states that contracting methods and contract types section covers the various types of procurements, contract types, special acquisition methods and emergency acquisitions. Simplified acquisition procedures are used for purchases typically under $150,000 in value and these are set aside for small businesses. Sealed bidding is used for purchases that will be decided primarily based on price. Contracting by negotiation is used for other acquisitions particularly ones that involve selection by non-price concerns such as experience, design and schedule.

According to a previous report from TheBlaze, teachers complained that they were expected to deliver the curriculum verbatim and only on days allotted by the CSCOPE lesson plan. Even if students were unable to absorb the lesson, teachers were allegedly directed to progress to the next lesson regardless. TheBlaze also reported that teachers were “asked to sign a contract that would prevent them from revealing what was in the CSCOPE lessons or face civil and criminal penalties.”
….. Beck noted that secular progressivism, further, the notion of communal life and collectivism, is at the system’s core. Other points of contention concerning CSCOPE curriculum include lesson-plans positing that Christopher Columbus was an “eco-warrior” and, when referring to the famed explorer’s journal, all references to God and Christendom were removed.
Beck said that President Obama will look to move forward with implementing CSCOPE or such systems within a short time-frame. The panel said concerned Americans should send letters to the Attorney General and that emergency legislation should be enacted to help teachers push back.

We have had so much bullying from Obama that it is time to push back.
Here is one example. It should appeal to a lot of people.
Obama needs to dragged into court and mad to live up to his promise.
There has already been actual damage.

Thousands Of Americans See Their Health Plans Canceled
Kaiser Health News | By Anna Gorman and Julie Appleby Posted: 10/21/2013 5:07 pm EDT | Updated: 10/22/2013 12:06 pm EDT
Health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own coverage, frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and forcing others to buy more costly policies.
The main reason insurers offer is that the policies fall short of what the Affordable Care Act requires starting Jan. 1. Most are ending policies sold after the law passed in March 2010. At least a few are cancelling plans sold to people with pre-existing medical conditions.
By all accounts, the new policies will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost -- especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify. The law requires policies sold in the individual market to cover 10 “essential” benefits, such as prescription drugs, mental health treatment and maternity care. In addition, insurers cannot reject people with medical problems or charge them higher prices. The policies must also cap consumers’ annual expenses at levels lower than many plans sold before the new rules.
But the cancellation notices, which began arriving in August, have shocked many consumers in light of President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their plans if they liked them.
“I don’t feel like I need to change, but I have to,” said Jeff Learned, a television editor in Los Angeles, who must find a new plan for his teenage daughter, who has a health condition that has required multiple surgeries.
An estimated 14 million people purchase their own coverage because they don’t get it through their jobs. Calls to insurers in several states showed that many have sent notices.
Florida Blue, for example, is terminating about 300,000 policies, about 80 percent of its individual policies in the state. Kaiser Permanente in California has sent notices to 160,000 people – about half of its individual business in the state. Insurer Highmark in Pittsburgh is dropping about 20 percent of its individual market customers, while Independence Blue Cross, the major insurer in Philadelphia, is dropping about 45 percent.
Some Policies Targeted
Both Independence and Highmark are cancelling so-called “guaranteed issue” policies, which had been sold to customers who had pre-existing medical conditions when they signed up. Policyholders with regular policies because they did not have health problems will be given an option to extend their coverage through next year.
Consumer advocates say such cancellations raise concerns that companies may be targeting their most costly enrollees.
They may be “doing this as an opportunity to push their populations into the exchange and purge their systems” of policyholders they no longer want, said Jerry Flanagan, an attorney with the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog in California.
Insurers deny that, saying they are encouraging existing customers to re-enroll in their new plans.
“We continue to cover people with all types of health conditions,” said Highmark spokeswoman Kristin Ash.
She said some policyholders who may have faced limited coverage for their medical conditions will get new plans with “richer benefits” and the policies “in most cases, will be at a lower rate.”
Paula Sunshine, vice president of marketing with Independence, said the insurer hopes the cancelled policyholders will “choose Blue when they decide on a new plan.”
Higher Costs?
Some receiving cancellations say it looks like their costs will go up, despite studies projecting that about half of all enrollees will get income-based subsidies.
Kris Malean, 56, lives outside Seattle, and has a health policy that costs $390 a month with a $2,500 deductible and a $10,000 in potential out-of-pocket costs for such things as doctor visits, drug costs or hospital care.
As a replacement, Regence BlueShield is offering her a plan for $79 more a month with a deductible twice as large as what she pays now, but which limits her potential out-of-pocket costs to $6,250 a year, including the deductible.
“My impression was …there would be a lot more choice, driving some of the rates down,” said Malean, who does not believe she is eligible for a subsidy.
Regence spokeswoman Rachelle Cunningham said the new plans offer consumers broader benefits, which “in many cases translate into higher costs.”
“The arithmetic is inescapable,” said Patrick Johnston, chief executive officer of the California Association of Health Plans. Costs must be spread, so while some consumers will see their premiums drop, others will pay more -- “no matter what people in Washington say.”
Health insurance experts say new prices will vary and much depends on where a person lives, their age and the type of policy they decide to buy. Some, including young people and those with skimpy or high-deductible plans, may see an increase. Others, including those with health problems or who buy coverage with higher deductibles than they have now, may see lower premiums.
Blue Shield of California sent roughly 119,000 cancellation notices out in mid-September, about 60 percent of its individual business. About two-thirds of those policyholders will see rate increases in their new policies, said spokesman Steve Shivinsky.
Like other insurers, the Blue Shield letters let customers know they have to make a decision by Dec. 31 or they will automatically be enrolled in a recommended plan.
“There is going to be a certain amount of churn in the marketplace as people have to make their decisions,” Shivinsky said.

They are at least foreign enemies and likely also domestic enemies after they invaded and raped our domestic aid programs and then protested and demanded more. Where were you?
Where were you when obama FAILED to provide help to our American patriots in Benghazi?
Where were you when it became accepted fact that the Domestic Terrorists at the IRS undermined and severely abused our Constitution?
Where were you on Fast and Furious?
Where were you on NSA?
I could go on but I you should have the point by now.
I dare you to answer my questions, preferably on a public forum where they will be reported
faithfully

Protest of Privilege
This title is similar to the blog that I will quote from.
I used “of” versus “and”. I want to draw to attention to “Privilege ABUSED”.
Of Protests And Privilege
http://www.westernjournalism.com/protests-privilege/
The blog is a little long with some minor typos, but definitely worth reading.
Here is my takeaway
= = = =
……. small protests turn into larger ones. Independents like bikers and truckers suddenly organize themselves loosely in protest and the media stomps all over it, attempts to steal or change the message, and the oligarchs in Washington DC plot and plan how to make any protest “hurt”.
Our “betters”, our “rulers” have overplayed their hand. The [ “y”] live lives of ease and seeming entitlement only because we the people have placed at great trust in their hands. They have clearly betrayed that trust and are in need or “correction” and “re-alignment” with the principles of the Constitution (which they currently ignore) and the Rule of Law which if applied correctly would see some of those “rulers” jailed and even hanged for treason.

I asked for ideas.......and came up with one myself
Here is the revised layout....you might want to skip the initial part... jump down to the 10/15/13 line.

The Internet is Great.
This might be my most brilliant idea….. ever.
But like most “why didn’t I think of that” it didn’t just “pop”.
This idea had help from an internet blog. I replied, but the idea would not leave

So, the Balanced Budget Act of 2013 bill is being sent to my politicians…FAT chance THEY will do anything with it.
Balanced Budget Act of 2013
This is DRAFT #1. Do you have any suggestions to improve it?

Well, I guess I gave toooooo much latitude to our DC dudes. WE NEED a budget target else we can have an impossible to execute balanced budget ( at unachievable revenues).
So, what should the target be? Firstly it is agreed that the level should be expressed as a % of GDP. After that the figures range from 20% to 30% and even as high as 40%. Most all reflect needed changes in Federal Policy; changes to entitlement programs ( reductions).
One thing IS clear. Federal Policy changes ARE needed, or we will collapse. True, they have to recognize the impact of a different America. However, they also have to admit that past policies were unwise and address reductions in entitlements.
Here are two charts that illustrate the underlying thought.

i. IF you choose to do nothing about the abuses as (exemplified by Jason Greenslate) are you willing to personally pay his ( and his cohorts) benefits?

Fundamentally FLAWED
The entire structure of the Obama government is fundamentally flawed.
It is economically unsound and morally decrepit to foster Government Slavery.
…and that is precisely Obama in a nutshell.
Regardless of his rhetoric about re-distributing the wealth, there is a hugely evil core to his plan.
His plan ( check out the similarity with communism) targets three classes of humans
One example, from many ( free obamaphones, rent, out-of-wedlock incentives, divorce incentives, out of control disability payments) that addict users into government slavery……….
No longer a hand up...... Now a rip off handout, like dope peddlers addicting their “clients” .
Regardless of the hype, the War on Poverty is more a war on Taxpayers while the elite syphon off more and more taxpayer $$$$ and keep the poverty rate flat. This picture shows the poverty rare according to two different accepted definitions. It is essentially flat
This next picture shows Taxpayer $$$$ used for the war on poverty
I don’t know why they added in Social security because that program is supposed to be paid for with employee and employer tax $$$. Regardless the spending is outrageously out-of-control with no progress in the war. Maybe that’s because the standard for poverty is ever advancing.
( in the 50’s and 60’s if you were in the class called poverty, you were poor. You did not have a free cell phone, paid rent, a car and a lot more… example : Jason Greenslate, a true parasite).
Incidentally, the author of LBJ’s war on poverty was Michael Harrington who just happens to be the founder of DSA ( Democratic Socialists of America) the mentor of the CPA ( Communist Party of America) or at least a bed sharing partner
We need to change from pushing stamps like drug lords that spawns horrific parasites like Jason Greenslate. We need to change to a TRUE NEED Base; not simply “I like free stuff”.
Food stamps ( NOW SNAP with EBT) do have a place for the needy.
But food stamps must come only after proving need
Anybody over age 18 must bring a letter from a doctor stating he is unable to work in order to qualify.
No more of pushing the stamps with no follow up to determine need.
Instead of Government peddlers, we need more proof- of- need auditors.
All the govt pushers need to be fired.
Their salary $$$need to go to proper qualifying.
All of the Jason Greenslates need to put on notice... You are off the dole in two months!
Return America to its roots…. A Society of PRODUCTIVE Contributors.
A Society where contribution is honored and freeloading is disparaged/dishonored!
WE NEED A GOVERNMENT THAT WILL CUT THE SPENDING NOW!
JUST THINK! We could have had President Romney that comes with a First Lady Ann Romney. BUT WE GOT THIS!!!
And he has Spent and Spent and Spent and DOUBLED THE DEBT and Increased the Taxes More than any President in 20 years!!! We now find the Country $17 Trillion in Debt and $60 Trillion in Unfunded Debt from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and now GROWING WITH ObamaCare Promises. He refuses to lower the Spending that will soon destroy the American Economy. He increased the Taxes enormously and is still spending $700 Billion more than Tax Revenue which is the highest in the History of the United States.
He Refuses to Cut Spending and it is Widely known he wants to Destroy the American Economy and cause a revolution. He wants to take away everyone’s GUNS so he can easily force Citizens to submit to His Demands as he takes over as the Ruler.
WE MUST STAND OUR GROUND AND FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO CUT THE SPENDING NOW!
THEY MUST CUT AT LEAST $200 TO $300 BILLION DOLLARS FROM THE SPENDING FOR NEXT YEAR!
http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/GFDEBTN/
DON’T LET THEM LIE TO YOU, IT CAN BE EASILY REDUCED. LOOK AT THE RATE OF INCREASE, UNNECESSARY INCREASES, AND GIVE AWAY PHONES DOUBLING OF DISABILITY PAYMENTS AND FOOD STAMPS AND ENORMOUS INCREASES IN OTHER WELFARE SPENDING WHILE PEOPLE WORK IN THE UNDERGROUND ECONOMY! PLUS OTHER AREAS!
YOU MUST STAND UP TO THIS OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT AND TELL THEM TO CUT AT LEAST $250 BILLION FROM THE DEBT NEXT YEAR. THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO ELIMINATE OBAMACARE. WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE IF THEY DO NOT START CUTTING VERSUS SPENDING!!
FAX HARRY REID TODAY AND TELL HIM TO CUT SPENDING BY $250 BILLION DOLLARS !! HARRY REID FAX 1 202-224-7327 AND CHUCK SCHUMER AT 1 202 228 3027 AND DICK DURBIN AT 1312 353 8150

To House Negotiators
Via FAX
Debt/ACA Negotiations
Gentlemen,
Please let me be clear.
America is depending on you to do your duty and speak for America.
DO NOT GIVE AMERICA AWAY!
You know as well as I that Obama’s mission is to take down America.
DO NOT GIVE AMERICA AWAY!
We need to gut Obamacare thru the exercise of your Constitutionally assigned duties.
DO NOT GIVE AMERICA AWAY!
We need to assure/insure that our Debt is brought under control
Don’t feed us some 10-25 year bunk plan that will never happen
Put forth a plan to kill the deficit in 3-5 years or less; and to pay down our debt within 25 years.
If I learn that y’all cave/compromise/surrender/submit/acquiesce/collapse I promise I you will NEVER see a single penny (1c) from me. I promise I will send my donations to your adversary, even if the SOB is a D.
I hope that was clear.
DO NOT GIVE AMERICA AWAY!
