President Obama made an appeal Saturday (3/20) to House Democrats to vote on health care reform. Here is a quote from a news article some of what he said.
Obama told House Democrats they have arrived at "one of those moments" when they can realize their highest aspirations in public life.
"This is one of those times where you can honestly say to yourself, 'Doggone it, this is exactly why I came here,"' he said. "'Because I believe so deeply in this country and I believe so deeply in this democracy and I'm willing to stand up even when it's hard."'
Very interesting that he said “… I believe so deeply in this democracy…” I know he wishes this was a democracy, but our country is a Republic. It is based on the rule of law not what the majority may want. Our founding fathers knew exactly how dangerous a democracy can be.
Many in Washington want this country to start working like a democracy so they can continue to take away your rights, properties, freedoms, and your money. Do you know about 43% of the people in this country pay no taxes? Once that number hits 50%, nothing you have will be safe because we will essentially have a democracy.
Why is democracy bad? Well, how’s this for an example. If 10 men and 1 woman get in a room and vote if rape should be legal, what do you think the answer might be?

Jobs Bill passage
Isn’t it amazing that the government will pass a $787 billion stimulus bill and say it is not enough we need more, but pass a $18 billion jobs bill and says that will add millions of jobs. Do you realize that is only 2% of the stimulus bill that did nothing?

How much do you owe
It has been about a year since I laid out country’s deficit and explained the size. Well it has gotten bigger in the last year. You should know how much you owe. Many people think the government debt is not their problem, but who does the government of the United States represent? YOU!
The U.S. Government continues to spend money it doesn’t have and barrow more money. How much is enough? How many people in the US? How much does each person in this country owe the government to pay off our debt? Well if you have children you owe more. Before I answer, think about just your personal finances.
How much debt would you need to have be before you felt you had too much? $10,000? $20,0000? $30,000? They all seem like a lot. I’m not talking about your mortgage that is at least a loan on something of value. What if you had $50,000 in credit card debt? Would you be nervous? That is money you would owe for past spending where you probably have nothing of any value to show for the spending.
The U.S has a debt of over $12.5 trillion. A trillion just sounds like another number. Well here is what it looks like. $12,500,000,000,000. There are about 308 million people in the country. If you have a family of 4 your share is about $120,000. That’s right. Each person owes the government about $40,000. How many people in the country could actually pay that with their next tax return to wipe out the debt? Probably less then 1% of the people. Do you still think we need to spend more money? Do you think we need to barrow more money?
Its time we get rid of life long politicians and put in some people with common sense.

What do you think of illegal aliens taking jobs of Americans
I heard about this and did some research to find out if it is true. What do you think about the illegal immigrant problem in this country? Should we continue to let anyone cross our boarders and stay in this country, taking jobs form legal citizens? Why will the government not do anything about this problem? It is so simple. Why not build a wall along the boarder and force people desiring a better way of life to enter legally?
Did you know that former Presidents deported illegal’s for the sake of Americans? Check out Herbert Hoover (Republican), Harry Truman (Democrat), & Dwight Eisenhower (Republican).
Herbert Hover had the Mexican Repatriation process that deported illegal’s to create jobs for Americans during the Great Depression. Harry Truman wrote a special letter to Congress in 1951 approving S. 954 to address illegal immigrants and improve working conditions for Americans. Dwight Eisenhower had “Operation Wetback” to round up and deport illegal immigrants to improve job availability for Americans.
So in such desperate times as now with unemployment at one of the highest rates in history, why not deport illegal’s? How about for the sake of national security, how about for the sake of our national debt, how about for the sake of this country. Your tax dollars are paying for these illegal aliens and they don’t pay taxes.
Do your own research and let me know if you see it differently.
