ACTION

Here are the easy steps required to prove to yourself and to anyone  else that the long form birth certificate from the White House website is a fraud.  It shows just how easy it is to investigate and prove.  Anyone with a computer can do this.

1) Download a free evaluation copy of Adobe Illustrator here: www.adobe.com/go/tryillustrator/

2) Install Adobe Illustrator on you computer - you can remove it later.

3) Download Obama's long form "birth certificate" from the White House website here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/birth-certificate-long-form.pdf In most cases you will have the birth certificate embedded in your web browser page as a PDF.  Most browsers allow you the option of saving the PDF document to your hard drive and you will need to do this.

4) Open PDF you just saved to your hard drive using your FREE trial copy of Adobe Illustrator;  This is what you should see:

5) Notice the layers window on the right hand side in Adobe Illustrator.  If the document had been scanned as has been claimed there would only be a single layer continaing a single image.  As you can see this is not the case.  This document is composed of many items that were copied from other documents and pasted in. You can turn these individual layers on and off - INCLUDING THE SECURITY PAPER PATTERN.

If you don't see the layers window on the right it is hidden and you will have to show it.  I think you can press "F7" to do this.

Play around, have fun, hide and show individual layers.  Then print the document with various layers hidden.  Pass this information along to your family, friends and skeptics.  Print out a copy and send to you representatives and demand an investigation.  Send copies to your local sherrif - show them how.

Here is the document with the "security layer" hidden:

Keep in mind that proving this fraud takes no special image editing skills - just a trial copy of Illustrator.  Adobe is a large download be patient because it's well worth the satisfaction of proving it yourself and being able to do so to anyone and everyone.  ENJOY!

Sam Graves sent his list of state caucus cronies which was rammed down the throats of those who attended.  Did you think you had a voice in the Republican Party even at the state or local level?  Don't bet on it.

Proof positive that party elites are party elites no matter what party they control.

Howdy all!  Another week begins.  Another day closer to Election Day.  Another day preparing.  I want to be ready, prepared.  And I want the effort to be for naught.  But ready we will be. 

Any hoo,..

The Lord gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly. ~ Psalm 103:6

At a time when our lordly Masters in Great Britain will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprivation of American freedom, it seems necessary that something shou’d be done to avert the stroke and maintain the liberty which we have derived from our Ancestors; but the manner of doing it to answer the purpose eventually is the point in question. ~ George Washington, letter to George Mason, 1769

There are days I find myself full of happiness; just looking at the blue sky makes me smile all day long.  There are days where I get so frustrated; at politics, at the media, at my email, and at the empty ice cream cone box.  Then there are times when my principles and core values kick in; instinct, experience, leadership, honor, courage and commitment.  There are days like these that make me wonder, “Am I ready for what may come?”  Honestly, I don’t know.  But I do know I will continue to prepare.  But what must I do to be prepared?  I guess as George said, “The manner of doing it to answer the purpose eventually is the point in question.”

It took years for the manner of doing in the time of Washington.  He wrote this in 1769, seven years before the Declaration.  Now I’m not suggesting that it will take us a full seven years to get our country going in the proper direction.  Heck that would be silly of me.  No, my estimate is that it will take much longer; yes longer.  Why?  Because my friends and patriots, no matter how long it takes to restore our republic, it will never be the same as we remember from childhood.  Never.  It will instead be so much stronger.  Our country (and I say our country with the utter most respect and reverence for our country and citizens) has already changed.  We are living through a paradigm shift.  Think of the watch makers in Switzerland who scoffed at the people who brought a new idea to them.  The watch makers laughed them out of Europe.  So the folks from Casio decided to make their newfangled digital wrist watches themselves.  Now how many of us are wearing a Swiss digital watch?  The watch world changed and never went back.  Our republic is changing and we will never go back.  But we need to continue the restoration of our Constitution, our economic system of free markets, and the reduction of the massive government which we cannot sustain much longer.  We will like the results.  The nation will be stronger than ever.  And our descendants will be glad for what we’ve done, just like we praise our ancestors.  Our lordly Master in Washington DC will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprivation of American freedom, which will open the doors to socialism, Marxism, and communism.  We the People are being treated terribly unfairly.  For that, He will give us all the righteousness and justice needed to continue.  We must all prepare as best we can; definitely with our vote in November, probably with the stores and supplies if and when they are needed.  And if the time does come, we must be as the Yankee Doodle the British poked fun at: Stand at the ready with Bible, Constitution and Declaration of Independence in hand, and weapons holstered.  Let us pray we have the strength to get our ostrich friends’ heads out of the sand in time to embrace the paradigm shift.

Take care, God bless,

CBO Estimates Obama's 2013 Budget Plan Would Hurt Economic Growth                The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Friday that President Obama’s 2013 budget will hurt the economy in the long term, arguing the larger deficits it would produce would reduce the amount of capital available to businesses.
After five years, the CBO says, the Obama proposals would reduce economic output by between 0.5 percent and 2.2 percent.
Larger deficits caused by the budget would cause the government to issue more bonds, sucking up private capital to finance its debts and thereby reducing the funds businesses could use to expand and hire, the CBO said. An increased tax on capital gains included in the president's plan would also tend to reduce private capital, it says.
The 2013 Obama budget proposes continuing the Bush tax rates for the middle class and enacting elements of a short-term Jobs Act stimulus. In the near term, actions such as these could increase growth by as much as 1.4 percent, CBO says.
The new CBO report complements a March estimate that Obama’s budget would add $3.5 trillion to deficits over 10 years compared to current law. That report did not try to capture any effects on economic growth.
The White House, using a different baseline than CBO, has claimed its budget would reduce deficits by $3.2 trillion over 10 years.
Taking economic effects into account, Obama’s budget could add as much as $3.9 trillion in deficits by 2022, CBO estimates. Slower economic growth tends to increase deficits by reducing tax collection and increasing spending on items like unemployment insurance.

I was having  coffee with a friend last night when…

"Last night, my son just walked into the living room and said, ‘Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, stereo, iPhone, iPod, and my laptop . Please give my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Goodwill . Then sell my car . Take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house . Then disown me and never talk to me again . And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to my brother . "

 I asked… "Wow, he really said that?"

"Well, he didn't put it quite that way . He actually said . . . ‘Dad, I've decided to work for Obama's re-election campaign . ’"

T.E.A. Party Doubles-Down on Failed

Over-Involvement Policy and Social Conservativism

                In 2010 the remarkable effect of the T.E.A. (Taxed Enough Already) Party’s Anti-Big Government; Pro-Constitution; and Pro-fiscal Responsibility Platform was truly the news of the hour even if the lamestream-mainstream media were not willing to cover it and Time magazine refused to even consider it a newsworthy movement.  Besides the resurgence of conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives, a shift of over 600 state legislature positions from liberal to conservative hands was an outstanding result by any fair measurement.  Only trouble?  Three shoo-in semi-conservative U.S. senators were defeated by three T.E.A. Party favorites each of whom proved to be unworthy and ineffective candidates . . . and the liberal Obama-supporting U.S. Senate under Harry Reid continued unbroken to obstruct citizens’ movements for responsible-responsive governments.  At present Reid’s Senate has NOT passed a budget in over 1,190 days just six days short of three full years.  Over the same time period, the House of Representatives under Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi also failed to pass a budget, but the Republican-controlled House after the 2010 “miracle-election” has passed two significant Paul Ryan budgets.  Just imagine how different things might be if the T.E.A. party had not interfered in Colorado, Nevada and Connecticut.  Now it appears that mistake in judgment is about to be repeated in the case of several well-respected Republicans; two quite prominent and most notably, Utah’s Orrin Hatch, a damned decent man in my not-so-humble opinion.

            Today rather than getting credit for the modern miracle they pulled off,  and almost pulled off . . . in many places the T.E.A. (taken enough abuse?) Party is villified and has lost much popularity.  Rather than being seen as the “savior of conservativism,” by Republicans, many moderate Republicans regard the T.E.A.s as a threat and a group of butt-inskies.  Has something gone wrong?  If so what?   What can we learn from the relatively few but remarkably stupid mistakes of 2010? 

1. 1.       In each of these three cases, rather than emphasizing the T.E.A. Party “Contract from America,” the T.E.A. Party chose to become extremely involved in the early primary and election process itself.  In fact, today, the T.E.A. Party emphasis on the Contract from America has virtually disappeared:  a grievous error.
2. 2.      In each of these three cases, the T.E.A. Party, rather than playing the role of impartial protectors of the Constitution emphasizing to voters how they ought to be making decisions, decided instead to immerse itself in the political in-fighting. 
3. 3.      In two of the cases, Colorado and Nevada, the T.E.A. Party embarrassed itself by getting involved with virtually inarticulate SOCIAL-CONSERVATIVES who were easily maneuvered into ugly and untenable positions by experienced liberal politicians.  In Connecticut, their glorious candidate was a sorry excuse for a politician – who vetted that woman – witchcraft, indeed?   Looking at the Contract from America . . . where exactly are we to find any social-conservativism at all?  Or Witchcraft?   If the T.E.A. Party  wants its newly arisen social-conservativism to become the new replacement for the long ineffectual Republican litmus test . . . I guarantee that will be the end of the T.E.A. Party’s ability to create meaningful change in meaningful areas such as those 10 planks of the Contract from America.  In each of these three over-involvement instances, the candidates seemingly refused to mention the Contract from America, but were certainly not reluctant to talk about abortion, creationism in schools, and prayer in schools.  By the way, very little progress has been made on the Contract for America precisely because the U.S. Senate was not won by the Conservatives.  So what’s to be done?
4. A.      Politics is very expensive, messy and often is NOT conducive to a climate of change.  Avoid actual politics.   Educate, proselytize, be missionaries for the Constitution; for fiscal-responsibility; for small, effective government.
5. B.      Next to the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution, the most remarkable document for freedom and capital R-type Republicanism from paragraph A before this was the T.E.A. Party’s Contract from America.  When the T.E.A.s virtually abandoned this key document, they abandoned their identity.
6. C.      Right now 75% of the conservatives in politics are Republicans.  If and when, however, liberal Democrats cannot get elected and liberal Republicans cannot get elected and Progressive anythings cannot even win primaries, then the T.E.A. Party will need to shift to carefully monitoring both parties as fiscal- and Constitutional-Conservativism becomes a winning proposition in both parties.  Till then 75% of the time the T.E.A. Party should support the Republican and 25% support some version of a Blue-dog Democrat or Independent. . . but should NOT get involved with primaries, and elections directly.   Just help people learn about the Contract for America; and fiscal- and Constitutional-conservativism don’t interfere.  Also T.E.A Party volunteers can serve a very big role in 1) helping to get out the Conservative voters and 2) serving as watchdogs at election precincts (do the job of election volunteer, but remain alert to potential voter fraud situations).
7. D.     The T.E.A. Party can learn a lot from the Libertarian father-son combo of Ron and Rand Paul.  The Pauls’ stance on small government, fiscal-responsibility, low taxes, welfare, abortion and military excursions away from America’s shore’s are well-known.  What’s worked for the Pauls?  1) emphasizing the T.E.A. Party positions found in the Contract for America more than any other approach which covers low taxes, small government, fiscal-responsibility, and to a  lesser extent 2) welfare- reform. 

What’s sort of worked for the Pauls?  3)  Lumping both major parties together as irresponsible (and they sure are) on taxes and big government and fiscal responsibility and 4) pointing at one as champions of an evil and counter-productive welfare-state and at the other of a bloated and almost-imperialistic warfare state? 

What’s absolutely failed to work for the Rands?  5) Social-liberalism on matters like drug-legalization;   and abortion; and 6) any hint of criticism of the American military in war zones.  <when Ron Paul talks about military bases in 156 countries and 120 troops in Gemany and Japan combined – he finds many more sympathetic ears than when he criticizes military missions>.  The Libertarian position on items 5 and 6 virtually guarantees a maximum of 20% support and as little as a 10% following anywhere in the nation – very ineffective.  Ron Paul should realize where his power lies and refuse to comment ever on items 5) and 6).  If he did that, he’d largely be a T.E.A. Party man and find high-receptivity among 45% of the voters minimum.  I love the T.E.A. Party, but have been embarrassed by its gaffs with the three Senators in 2010 and with virtually everything since then.  What works for the T.E.A. Party?   The Contract for America.   Make a new one quickly that reflects 2012 reality.  Refrain from picking candidates until they are nominees.  Refrain from any and all social-conservativism.  Fiscal- and Constitutional- and small-government-conservativism is not only a winner . . . it’s also precisely what the nation needs right now.

   I have been  thinking about the possibility of this man running for VP even thou he is not a naturalized citizen.

The only way I see that he can be eligable, is for him to claim there is a prior precedent that happened when  obumble was elected. I don't know if anything like this will come up , but it seems to me it could and as you might expect it will set a precedent for any one from any country could be elected as the President of the United States. I think there is a good possibility of something like this happening. I wonder the American are gullible enough for anything like this to transpire.    """ NUFF SAID """.  

WE NEED  THE LORDS  HELP.  IN  KEEPING  THIS  COUNTRY  FROM  GOING  DOWN  THE  DRAIN.  THANKS  TO YOU  ALL.

Now what? It now seems clear that Mitt Romney will certainly be the Republican Presidential Nominee. It will be Romney vs Obama in November. It is clear from a conservative/liberal policy perspective which candidate stands where on the issues...not much difficulty for me as to which I will choose. But there are "swing voters" who will need to decide. I want to focus for a moment on the candidate's religious beliefs. This will certainly become an issue in the debate to draw, or alienate, undecided voters.

There have already been many questions raised about Mitt Romney's Mormon faith. Christians and others are somewhat suspicious and doubtful. Recently, Mitt shrewdly responded to such a question by saying that he was not running for "Pastor in Chief". I thought it was a good answer. I believe his values are solid and, although I would prefer beliefs more consistent to my own, the differences should not diminish the effectiveness of his role as President.

Barack Obama says that he is a Christian, and I will not make a claim that he is not. There is evidence, however, that concerns me relative to how his faith influences his policies. He has repeatedly referred to scripture to support his position on policies (gay marriage, taxation, etc.) that, in my opinion, have been superficial and misapplied. I believe this to be more concerning for the clarity of truth and the health of the Church than any damage that may come from Mitt Romney. Obama also does not appear to understand the fundamental incompatibility between Christianity and Islam (and other) faiths. Again, very revealing and concerning relative to his own faith.

My conclusion as a Christian? Even on religion, advantage Romney as President.

It is becoming very apparent that a large number of Republican politicians are looking to woo eligible Tea Party voters. The banter has been good at times and not to good at others. We all need to continually remind ourselves of the roots of the Tea Party and the involvement of the Republican Party in the creation of this mess that we currently find our government has led us into. The Republican and Democratic Parties are equally responsible. The corruption, excessive spending, violation of constitutional principles, intrusion into the personal lives of citizens, and the erosion of the moral fabric of our nation can be equally blamed on the corruption and self serving interests of the career politicians of both of our major political parties.

I'm afraid that the seduction of power and prestige is too much for some of the neophyte leaders of the Tea Party movement. If the leaders of the movement are falling prey to these seductions, forgetting the roots of our movement, they need to be removed and allow persons who better represent those grassroot values as well as the interests of the welfare of our nation to assume the helm.

The problem with the Republican party is that it has an incestuous relationship with corporate money and power. Since the party coffers are lined with monies from these as well as special interest groups they are very unlikely to alienate themselves from the golden goose.

I hope that this time it will be different, but history does not indicate it and common sense does not allow me to accept it.

Republican RINOs, Democrats and liberals of all description are running scared. Their political demise is rapidly removing them from positions of power. With power, comes responsibility… responsibility to the people, not to themselves, not to their parties, not to special interest groups but to the majority of the citizens of our nation.

Let us not forget that the Republican party endorsed Arlene Spectre over Pat Tomey, gave us Scarzafava in New York, and endorsed Crist over Rubio. Can we trust the Republican Party or for that matter any other career politician to bring conservative or moderate principles with them to Washington? I don't know, but I really don’t think that it is probable.

Remind all Tea Party members and especially leadership of the roots of our movement. The Tea Party movement is about returning power to its rightful and legal owners within our nation… We The People. It is not about empowering a new group of individual who’s only interests are self promotion, power, notoriety and personal agendas. After all folks, it is not about any one individual, it is about all the individuals who are fortunate enough to call themselves citizens of our great nation.

WE WILL   HELP  MITT DO IT,  GO DOOR TO DOOR  IF WE   HAVE TOO.  WIN THIS  NOVEMBER.

We know what gravity does. We don’t know what gravity is.  A clue: If we didn’t have gravity, the universe would revert back to its original state. In my view, humanity is the highest state the universe can be; we are the ultimate state of the universe.

If we didn’t have money, we would revert back to our original state: barter.  On the island of Madagascar they still barter. Their medium of exchange is cattle. 

Oh, but we can do so-o-o much more with paper money as the medium of exchange.  I’d been wondering why the Dow-Jones averages have been doing well when the economy has not. In “Real Wealth Report,” I read about the “biggest ever stock market fake out.”

At the end of 2001, $10,000 in the Dow would have bought more than 38.4 ounces of gold. At year-end 2003, 25.9 ounces. 2004: 24.9 ounces. 2005: 19.5 ounces. 2006: 15.8 ounces. At the end of 2007, your $10,000 would have bought just 13 ounces of gold, and now only 8.01 ounces.  The Dow has lost 79 percent of its purchasing power in real terms—and indicating an improving economy.  

You can say gold has been in a bull market, but that would not be the case because paper money, the world’s medium of exchange, has nothing of value behind it, no other real measure than gold. Sure, gold is being manipulated, but only so much.  Facts are facts.  Paper money is going down, down, down in value.  Paper stocks are going down in value.  It is a good bet that paper money will continue to go down in value.  That’s the way the allusion of a growing economy can be maintained.  (Natural resources and gold are holding their values.)

The U. S. dollar, with nothing behind it, is the world’s reserve currency.  The Fed prints a bunch of monopoly money and look who benefits.  Alas, the world is aware.  Something is going to be done about it.  The dollar could, in a snap of the fingers, suddenly be reduced in value, it is estimated, by 80 percent, which could make the Dow rocket up on some stocks.  That’s what some billionaire insiders in cahoots with the politicians are betting on.  I prefer gold.   

Just imagine the power of the Fed chief, Bernanke, Treasury Secretary Geithner, and President Obama.  They have made a mockery of money.  It is your choice—fool’s gold or your common sense.

In light of the uncertainty of life today, do we keep God or worship the golden calf?  The policy is to devalue the dollar to keep the economy from melting down; that is, devalue the dollar due to the fact that government entitlements are costing more than we can afford, and we who benefit refuse to do anything about it; we are content to let the future take care of itself.  But hey! We are paying more for fuel and food because the Fed’s printing press money is watering down the value of our money. It is one hell-of-a-way to make up the difference.  Not only are we paying excessive tax in order to let government run our lives, but seeing our money purchase less, so the politicians can give away trillions and remain in office.  There is no foundation for this pie in the sky.  When I mention this, people say they try not to think about it.  Where are they going to be when the stuff hits the fan? It is either become a government slave or get rid of Washington’s control freaks.

So what do I know about the economy?  I’m not a recognized authority.  You don’t hear the experts on Wall Street or the rabble rousers mentioning what I’m telling you.  You don’t hear politicians mentioning what I’m telling you.

Speaking for Jesus, he said you can’t serve two masters. Jesus spoke of heaven and earth, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God.” God is in heaven, in earth, and in you, internally.  Speaking for Jesus, as far as the internal God in you is concerned, “Lay not for yourself treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal…. For where treasure is, there will be your heart also.” Jesus told us to beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.

In the beginning of our lives, we read in the Bible, in Genesis 2:7, God breathed into us a soul. Our bodies are from dust to dust, our souls eternal. While here, we interact with heaven and earth—if we are aware of who we are and our purpose here.  If not, we just go with the flow—come and go for no reason, the sad part of it. The movement is intense at this time.  We can make a difference.

Jesus came at the beginning of the Age of Pisces, whose symbol is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions.  We are moving into the age of Aquarius.  Keeping in mind that we are in heaven, earth, and self, inextricably involved with the workings of the universe, the symbol for Aquarius is the water-bearer. In Astrologer’s Handbook, we read that Aquarius is the sign of brotherhood and fraternity, the water-bearer spilling out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy.

  What do I know about what Jesus taught? I’m no authority.  Reverend Jerry Robertson, an authority, in my blog “Good versus Evil,” calls my hand. He informs you that there is only one way to God—his way.  “And that by walking in faith, accepting God’s Word as truth (as Robertson interprets it); and only by accepting that God is the only Living God (that my God is fiction), the Most High God, ‘Yahweh,’ the Creator of all things; and the entire Universe! You must worship Him, as your only God, for He is a Jealous God, and He will not tolerate your debating His reality.”  Yahweh!  I give you Robertson’s God—straight from the Bible—or your own choice?  My choice ended with all my dreams coming true. But again, who am I? Since I’m no authority, I guess it was the luck of the draw, but I think Jesus had a lot to do with it.

Don't want to be a "Party Pooper" but I am saddened by the direction I see the Tea Party going.  The numerous e-mails receieved from National Directors De and Melony sound more like something from a liberal organization.  What's up with all the name calling and sniveling and acting like the liberals do.  Let's get back to facts and logic without all the crybaby emotion.  What started out with true good intentions is going down the drain fast.  Let our goal be organization and integrity and be more like the NRA.

Howdy all!  The weekend is here!  It’s time to go out and enjoy the great weather, and plant the seeds for the garden.  Yeah right.  I’m going to enjoy the weekend without the dirt and mulch and weeding and,..  Oh wait.  I forgot my wife reads this.  Never mind.

Any hoo,..  (yes dear; yes dear.  Yes I did dear.  Really.  Yes really!  Ok I will.  Really.  NO WAIT!  DON”T THROW THAT AWAY!  Alright alright!  I – will, I..)

And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself. ~ John 12:32

There is no good government but what is republican. That the only valuable part of the British constitution is so; for the true idea of a republic is 'an empire of laws, and not of men.'  That, as a republic is the best of governments, so that particular arrangement of the powers of society, or in other words, that form of government which is best contrived to secure an impartial and exact execution of the law, is the best of republics." --John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776

There has been only one person ever on earth who could draw the masses to himself after life.  Jesus Christ.  And of course He wasn’t drawing people for himself.  He drew them to save them, and offer the glory of following Him to the Father.  No one else has ever been able to do this, and no one else will.  Yet, people still think they can get the masses to follow them to whatever demise lays in wait.  False prophets.  Do you know of any?  They get in positions of control and try to convince the masses that they are the ones to be followed, not Him.  Know anyone like that nowadays?

In 1776 and the decade beyond, men took to arms and to pen.  They did so to build a city on a hill.  To govern that city they developed the most extraordinary government structure ever seen on the planet.  The city belonged to We the People.  The government was granted powers by We the People.  The representatives were selected by We the People, and the states.  It was NOT the federal government that chose for themselves.  And We the People gave strength to the government by granting checks and balances to the executive, legislative and judiciary branches.  I say very specifically, ‘We the People’ did this; our founders, our ancestors and all the descendants down to us.  We are now ‘We the People’.  The form of government they gave us is a republican form of government.  Not a government run by the GOP, but a government ruled by law.  This was so important to the founders that they inserted this form of government as a guarantee.  In fact, it was so important that they used the word guarantee in Article IV Section 4.  “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government..”  In fact, it was so important they used the word guarantee only once in the entire Constitution, including the amendments.  Article IV Section 4 is my favorite part of the entire Constitution.  To me, this one simple description of our form of government is the cornerstone of the entire document.  Without this guarantee, the republic would have fallen long ago.  But just a republic wouldn’t do.  Rome was a republic.  The USSR was a union of republics.  It’s called the People’s Republic of China.  So why is republic so good?  “That, as a republic is the best of governments, so that particular arrangement of the powers of society, or in other words, that form of government which is best contrived to secure an impartial and exact execution of the law, is the best of republics.  Checks and balances, granted to our city on a hill by We the People.

It is up to us to keep the republic we were told about when Ben Franklin left the Constitutional Convention.  We the People have that right, and responsibility.  But it cannot happen because of We the Tea Party, or We the Conservatives.  It must be We the People.  So, We have some work to do.  Talk to your friends and neighbors.  We, who have been ostracized must inform and convince those who have ‘ostrich-ized’ themselves to get their heads out of the sand and see what has been happening, what we have been trying to save.  It won’t be fun, or easy.  But I know We the People can do it.  Why?  Because we have to.  And, it will always be worth it.

Take care, God bless,
