December's Blessings to You!

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:05:55 -0600

Blessings all, We all need to learn not to live under the spirits of God's enemy. Last night at worship we were blessed with many words from the Lord.

One in particular that keeps us down on a daily basis is the spirit of low self esteem.

How many times do we look in the mirror and feel we are too pale, too fat, too skinny, too ugly, too wrinkly, (my favorite comparing my new lines and wrinkles on the eyes that make them droop)We look in the mirror at least Several times a day. What do we tell ourselves at that time?

Do you think that your own child is ugly? No , you do not. Why because you love your child no matter what.

Well, that is the way God feels about us. We are his pride and joy. He uniquely designed us each individually. No one else is you. God is our Father and he loves us exactly as you love your own child.

You are uniquely designed for his pleasure and his glory. You are from royalty, You are the Daughter and Son of the King that reigns on high. You are his Prince and Princess shining in white and adorned with precious jewels he has dressed you in. Believe it God had only you in mind and wanted only you to be made when he created you.

Yes, this is the ultimate battle of good and evil so you better decide who's side of the battle you are going to be on. If you don't the enemy will gladly pick you up and keep you down. That is the easy part for Satan. He only comes on strong the closer you get to your Creator, Your Father.
The enemy is happy to leave you alone when he already has you down and miserable.

Enough we must not let the spirit of Satan get on our heads several times a day by deceiving us in the mirror. When we hold on to those earthly beliefs we are only going to come up with emptiness and sadness eventually.

Check out these spirits working against us in the Bible. Belial, a spirit of shame; Amalekite, a spirit that preys on the weak; Jezebel, a spirit of seduction and control; and others

Well, I rebuke you now spirit of Amalekite for all those feeling weak, Belial I rebuke you now for the shame you send us daily and Jezeble I rebuke you for the feelings of jealousy you send us when we our in competition in sales or watrching our neighbors financial successes or their perfect size 5 body and beautiful life. We think. This why Satan is the Great deciever. Jesus taught us to rebuke these spirits all in the Name of Jesus.

We need to speak love, happiness and success into our lives but to last it has to come from Heaven above and our Creator. In the bible Jesus says - I speak life into you! This is the only source that will completely fill me, you and all in the world that need to know who we are and where we come from and how special and wonderful each of us is.

A reminder that you come from Royalty and you are royalty a precious gift of the Father made for his pleasure and glory. God made you to seek his face, find him and his kingdom of Heaven and be allowed to walk home by the way of his son Jesus. The light and truth of the world for all God's children.

Remember Jesus paid the price for our sins so that we could be forgiven and live the life of Joy, Love and Happiness that the Father has planned for us. If you have not received your inheritance now than you better grab a bible and pray for God to reveal himself to you and let you know your destiny he was planned for you. It is awesome, incredible and beautiful to be filled with God's Love and it is everlasting.

God wants us as Christians to send his message so others don't miss out on Heaven's Glory and for us to be making new disciples of others. The world is suffering and hungry for his word

During this Christmas Season please remember to Speak peace into your neighbor's house, speak a word of love and comfort in the grocery store, a small prayer in Jesus name. People are hungry for the word of the Lord and in need.

Do you know that when you speak Peace to someone's house that you are asking God to bless their house or your own with peace, prosperity, abundance and health. I had know idea that one word Peace could be such a powerful blessing.

Remember how you felt on a daily basis before God revealed himself to you. Remember how lonely you were, how happiness only lasted in fleeting glimpses, how worried you were, how fearful you were and how scared you were when life through it's daily challenges at you or when you let your joy depend on another human beings,money,success, degrees and titles, or material possessions (things of this earth) and they let you down or gave you a moment's satisfaction. We were searching in all the wrong places to fill our souls.

The world is suffering this on a daily basis using their new age religions, meditation, hypnotherapy and positive thinking to give them peace. We all know this sources of peace only are temporary and need to be constantly worked to give some relief.

We need to stop sitting on the secret of the Joy of the Lord, The love of our Father and share our secret for everlasting happiness with our brother and sister that are still suffering.

Only God can fill our soul and only through his son, Jesus when the Holy Spirit falls upon us. What is this you say I am talking about. If you never had this happen to you then fall on your knees and pray for God to fill you and if it be his will this last sentence will explain itself by you when it happens. I spent many a time on my knees praying to God and he does not need a church to reveal himself to you.

Once you have the Lord reveal himself to you then you will need a good bible based church to give you fellowship with others that have seen the Glory of the Lord. You will know who they are and finally understand why they have such a strong faith in the Lord.

This can not be taught it can only be given as a gift from Our Father so seek and it will be yours. The Joy of Lord, ask God to show you his Joy and keep asking, don't give up and he will when God says it is your time.

The Bible says that Jesus told us we are to be the source to heal others, cast out demons, make disciples of others. so during this Christmas season let us all be a source of comfort to those that do not know the Lord.

Let us bring peace love and the light of the World to the Earth!

Have a blessed Christmas Season and remember everytime you walk by the mirror in your home that you are Royalty and as Christians we are to go out there and comfort the World in Jesus's Name.

The Manhattan Declaration- How we CAN make a difference.

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:21:37 -0600

This is very important to get out and sign up. Thanks Bob for your great information. I signed up and passed it on as soon as I heard from Mike F.

Be blessed and keep fighting to Save America and God in America!

Via Bob & Bonnie Horning (Homes and Land of Lancaster County):

This came across my email a day before Thanksgiving, and I would have posted it had it not been a time I relish spending with just my family and those we invite into our holiday gathering. During these times, nobody uses a cell phone, computer or anything that takes our attention away from OUR time together. It's a very simple, few page document, stating how we feel about where our nation should be heading, especially in such dark times.

In the past, I've had some disagreements with how Focus on the Family has gotten their message out and some of the tone they have used at times. After reading this very carefully, I feel it's an important step and attempt to unify the Body of Christ in a way that exudes love and compassion and should offend no one. With the exception of the powers of darkness. This is non-denominational and non-partisan motivated and a wonderful way to start bringing us back to the root of all our problems, the fracturing of the family unit and the lack of love for each other in our society.

I urge everyone who reads this to click on the link "adding your name" and put your stamp on it. All together we are much more powerful than those who oppose us. Love and Blessings to each and every person who takes the time to read and sign this. And love and Blessing to each who doesn't. Nobody is excluded from His great love. Nobody is that special to not be loved by God.

The letter:

Dear Friends,

On the eve of Thanksgiving, as millions are gathering to express their gratitude to God for His myriad blessings, it's fitting that we pause to discuss a historic development within the American church.

As many of you already know, I, along with Dr. Dobson and more than 150 Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant clergy, academics and organizational leaders, recently signed a remarkable expression of collective Christian conscience and commitment. It's called the Manhattan Declaration, and it's intended to make clear a significant point: As Christian Americans who believe each person's life is a gift of infinite worth, we have an urgent, ongoing responsibility to continue standing for biblical principles in the public square.

This past Monday's Focus on the Family® radio broadcast featured a discussion about the purpose and goal of the declaration. Joining Dr. Dobson on the program were two great friends of our ministry, Dr. Robby George and Chuck Colson, two of the primary drafters of the document. I was honored to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Robby and Chuck at the Washington, D.C., news conference unveiling the declaration last Friday, but I was unable to join their radio conversation. Given the magnitude of this document, though, I'd like to share with you now why I was so eager to sign it--and why I hope you will, too.

It is important, first off, to note that the Manhattan Declaration is not a partisan or political statement--I shared the podium last Friday at the National Press Club with Republicans and Democrats alike. Instead, it addresses and elevates four specific areas of universal consensus. Some have referred to these as "threshold issues," meaning they represent the foundation of our faith and the pivot point from which everything else flows. This is the bedrock. If we can't agree on these areas of doctrine, everything else will be of reduced value. These four areas are:

1.    The sanctity of human life.
2.    The sanctity of marriage.
3.    The protection of religious liberty.
4.    The rejection of unjust laws.
We have been committed to these baseline principles since Dr. Dobson founded Focus on the Family in 1977. Our conviction on these matters runs deep; motivating our movement has always been the heartfelt belief that these principles are not ours, but the Lord's, and that they promise to help and heal a broken world.

The document is a fresh and lively presentation, a renewed rallying cry to those who have been engaged in this historic effort of spiritual and cultural conversion. This is not a manifesto for culture war; it is a prescription for cultural change. It is also a thoughtful invitation to those who might be sitting on the periphery, perhaps hesitant to join this effort, maybe because they've never been fully aware of the consequences of inaction.

As a unified body, we are acknowledging that our faith is strong and redemptive, but it's not necessarily a comfortable and easy pursuit. Standing up for our beliefs can often come at great cost. But as Dr. George highlighted at last week's news conference, even the secularist philosopher Socrates once posed a relevant question Christians should easily answer today. "Is it better to suffer an injustice," he once asked, "than to commit it?" By affixing our signatures to the Manhattan Declaration, we are answering an unequivocal "yes."

Although many American Christians understandably feel under assault, the degree of faith-based domestic persecution cannot compare with the ghastly violence perpetuated against believers in other parts of the world. In the Sudan, for instance, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered not because of what they're doing, but because of the One in whom they believe. It is a wise people who act to protect the freedoms they enjoy.

And so I ask you to join me and my friends and colleagues in embracing and standing up for these crucial biblical principles. How? You can start by reading the document, in its entirety, by clicking here. What I think you'll notice is that, in addressing the issues noted above, The Manhattan Declaration is an excellent example of achieving the balance of Truth and Grace required of us as followers of Jesus. This is a document that exhorts us to champion Christian truths in a Christian manner. It stands for something.

Then, after you've read the declaration, consider adding your name to the list of signers--and urge your friends and family to do the same. We are all imperfect. But if we honor God by promoting biblical principles, resisting our sometimes insatiable and admittedly prideful motivations, He will honor us.

On behalf of my wife Jean, our boys Trent and Troy and the entire Focus on the Family staff, may you and yours enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,
Jim Daly
President and CEO
Focus on the Family

I hope you all had a most excellent Thanksgiving, it's our most favorite holiday of the year, especially when the Packers win! - Bob

Stand for Christmas.com

This is a great website courtesy of Focus on the Family and Dr. Dobson for us all to go to rate major stores on keeping Christmas Themes for their decorating and use of The reasons for the Season- Christmas in the store.

Personally, I agree with Dr. Dobson, that if a store has no decorations or no mention of Christmas they are not getting my Christmas Dollars this year. They need to get Holiday Dollars instead and I don't use those or say Happy Holidays so until the retailers can learn to celebrate Christmas and give our Christian Holiday some respect I will not be shopping in their stores.

Keep the Christ in Christmas and don't break the tradition...Be pro active and check out this website or rate your stores also.

Have a blessed and Merry Christmas Season!

Great Christmas Idea and only .44 each

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:39:57 -0600

I just received this from a friend and it really is a great gift that we will all enjoy sending. I would love to be on the receiving end of this MERRY CHRISTMAS Card- PRICELESS

hERE IS WHAT MY FRIEND SAID- AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS IT ON!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Pass this on to your church, co-workers, family, and friends. What do you
have to lose but 44 cents, what do you have to gain ----------- more than
you will ever know.

What a clever idea! Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you
can get ready to include an important address to your list.

Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this
year.

As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this
holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN card to brighten up their
dark, sad, little world..

Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it.

Here's the address, just don't be rude or crude. (It's not the Christian
way, you know.)

ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York , NY 10004

Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they
wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend
44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that
there is no such thing as a " Holiday Tree". . . It's always been called a
CHRISTMAS TREE!

And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate with the
ACLU! They really DESERVE us!!

For those of you who aren't aware of them, the ACLU, (the American Civil
Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas
or anything Christian away from us. They represent the atheists and others
in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas!

God Bless the USA!

Civil Disobedience OK to Protect Faith

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:18:39 -0600

WE are not alone in our quest to keep God in America, no matter how the liberals want to push God and all our Christian Forefathers intended to keep God in America out of this country.

This is not only showing how much the world has turned away from God and how serious the majority of American Christians take their beliefs in 2009. THis is a sad turn of events for America and at the same time a strong stand for Christians that make up the moral majority of this Country.

What a pity that this Governments agenda is not with it's people.... What will Wake up America's Latest Administration to what America Wants or it's Christian Leaders? Probably only a good shaking from our Creator..and I hear that he is coming with a big surprise this Christmas!

Religious Leaders: Civil Disobedience OK to Protect Faith

Saturday, November 21, 2009 2:52 PM

A formidable coalition of 150 Catholic, Orthodox, and evangelical leaders is calling on Christians in a new manifesto to reject secular authority - and even engage in civil disobedience - if laws force them to accept abortion, same-sex marriage, and other ideas that betray their religious beliefs. On Friday, these leaders released a 4,700-word document, titled the "The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience," which calls on Christians to engage in civil disobedience to defend their doctrines. Those signing the document ranged from evangelical leader Chuck Colson to two of the leading Catholic prelates in the United States, Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C., and Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York. The document also blasts the Obama administration, saying that social ills have grown since the election of President Obama, an abortion rights advocate, along with an erosion of what it calls "marriage culture" with the rise of divorce, greater acceptance of infidelity, and the uncoupling of marriage from childbearing. The project is aimed at instilling social conservative beliefs in a new generation of believers, Colson said. "We argue that there is a hierarchy of issues," he told The New York Times. "A lot of younger evangelicals say they're all alike. We're hoping to educate them that these are the three most important issues" - abortion, marriage, and religious liberty. "We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them," says the declaration, which was drafted by Colson, an evangelical, and Princeton University professor Robert P. George, a Roman Catholic. The declaration lists the "fundamental truths" as the "sanctity of human life, the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife, and the rights of conscience and religious liberty." "Throughout the centuries, Christianity has taught that civil disobedience is not only permitted, but sometimes required," says the document, which cited civil rights icon Martin Luther King and his willingness to go to jail for his beliefs. "Because we honor justice and the common good," it states, "we will not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide or euthanasia or any other anti-life act; nor will we bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships, treat them as marriages or the equivalent, or refrain from proclaiming the truth, as we know it, about morality and immorality and marriage and the family." George and other signers backed off from specifically defining what civil disobedience may entail. Wuerl's office played down the civil disobedience wording, saying he wasn't urging Catholics to "do anything specific," his spokeswoman, Susan Gibbs, told The Washington Post. "That wasn't something we had talked about." "We certainly hope it doesn't come to that," said George, who told The Washington Times that he has represented a West Virginia resident who has refused to pay a portion of her state income tax that funds abortions. "However, we see case after case of challenges to religious liberty," such as compelling pharmacists to carry abortifacient drugs or healthcare workers to assist in abortions, he said. "When the limits of conscience are reached and you cannot comply, it's better to suffer a wrong than to do it," he said. Unveiling the declaration Friday, Wuerl appeared at a news conference in the District of Columbia even as the church was considering a city-proposed compromise on its same-sex marriage measure. He and other church officials say the bill would require faith-based groups like Catholic Charities to extend benefits to married same-sex partners, thus forcing Christians to abandon their religious liberty. On Friday, Catholic Charities of Boston halted adoption services rather than comply with state law and allow children to be adopted by homosexual couples. Other signatories to the document include Cardinal Justin Rigali, outgoing chairman of the U.S. Catholic bishops' Committee for Pro-Life Activities; Pentecostal leader Harry Jackson, pastor of a Beltsville church; evangelical activist Tony Perkins; and National Association of Evangelicals President Leith Anderson. Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Newsweek the point of the Declaration is really to avoid mistakes of the past, such as when religious leaders did not stand up early enough against no-fault divorce, which he says led directly to the breakup of families and high divorce rates. "I'm a former police officer, and I have hard time with civil disobedience, but if it comes to the point where our religious liberty is at risk, I'd not only participate but would encourage people to resist." The leaders are urging the public to sign the online document. Read the full document here. Sign the declaration here. © 2009 Newsmax. All rights reserved.

Wake Up America- This is your last 24 hours to Save America!

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:08:52 -0600

"What we're talking about is the end of our way of life. They want to control you. That's not some wild conspiracy tale —

they already control the banks, the auto industry, most mortgages in this country.

They will have to ability to control the temperature inside your home with the passage of the cap-and-trade bill. And now they're trying to take control of one sixth of the U.S. economy — health care.

They're talking about taking over the Internet in the name of "neutrality" — who asked them to? Where's the problem there?

They are moving at the speed of light.

We need to get up off of our couches and get into their offices. Call your senators; show up in their office — peacefully and politely, but get there! If we don't stop this now, Obama will succeed in his goal to "fundamentally transform" America. " Quote from the Video

Please I urge you for the last time to watch this video, Realtors this affects our business, our income and our country.

This video shows exactly how and what is being done to take away our Freedom and Capitalism, and how they are managing to throw our constitution in the trash and pass these laws anyway.

Educate yourselves America with this link now!

Call your Senator to tell them to Vote No on Saturday.

We all are sick of this and want to ignore it and pretend this will go away but it will not and we can not stand idle..this is your last chance to Stop these Senators or tell them you will vote them out in 2010.

DO this for all your children, grandchildren and the rest of America. We must stop them now.

If you do nothing else all year pick up the phone and call your senator and tell them to Vote No on Saturday...Evil prevails when good men do nothing so get into action now!

HAPPY 234TH BIRTHDAY MARINES! SEMPER FIDELIS!

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:29:51 -0600

Please pass this on and send help to our wounded heroes. I can not think of any Amercian we owe a bigger debt to than those that fight to keep America Free.

Via Alice Linahan (Keller Williams):

HAPPY 234TH BIRTHDAY MARINES! SEMPER FIDELIS!

The United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, if you've never seen them, they are an incredible unit. This is a from a performance at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France, which honors American World War One veterans.The fact that the drills are performed in complete silence with only the click and thump of the rifles is an amazing display of precision, dedication, and the ability of individuals to come together for a greater purpose. We do have the best of the best and Americans should be PROUD!!

As a Birthday gift help support the The Marine Team.

Project Valour IT's annual fundraiser for wounded warriors continues. They are within sight of their 35K goal, but need your help to get there! I can't think of a better way to celebrate the birth of our Corps than to boost the Marine team to its first victory ever.

Valour IT provides adaptive technology to help severely wounded vets recover faster, establish a support system, and regain their independence. Since the program began, every single dollar raised by Valour IT has been used to provide:

· 4,100+ voice activated laptops

· over 30 Wii systems

· and nearly 100 handheld GPS devices to wounded vets at:

Balboa Naval Hospital
Naval Hospital, Camp Pendleton
Brooke Army Medical Center
Robert E. Bush Naval Hospital
Madigan RMC
Walter Reed AMC
National Naval MC (Bethesda)
and VA centers nationwide.

The men and women of the United States military have given their all to defend the values we Americans hold dear. For the price of a few sixpacks of beer or some dip and chips, you can tell them that you honor their sacrifices and their service. Please give generously. They did:

Please take the time to also read this great post about a "Great Marine."

Always remember that freedom is not free - a tribute to our servicemen and women

Unbelievable, This woman speaks for me, How about you? America 2009

Read this and leave your comments if you are in agreement with this source of action for America 2009

GLENN BECK: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona . She writes an
                                open letter to our nation's  leadership:

   "I  am a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt theDemocratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or
                                works to pursue issues important to me. The fact
                                is I no longer feel any
                                political party or representative in Washington
                                represents my views or works to pursue the
                                issues important to me.   Instead, we
                                are burdened with Congressional Dukes and

                               There must be someone. Please tell me who you are.

                               Please stand up and tell me that you are there
                                and that you're willing to fight for our
                                Constitution as it was written. Please stand
                                up now.



                                You might ask yourself what my views and issues are
                                that I would feel so horribly disenfranchised by
                                both major political parties. What kind of
                                nut-job am I? Well, these briefly are the views
                                and issues for which I seek
                                representation:

                                One, illegal immigration.

                                I want you to stop
                                coddling illegal immigrants and secure our
                                borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop
                                the violence and the trafficking in drugs and
                                people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done
                                that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist.
                                This is not to be confused with legal
                                immigration.

                                Two, the STIMULUS bill.

                                I want it repealed and I want no further
                                funding supplied to it. We told you No, but you
                                did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95%
                                repealed. Freeze, repeal.

                                Three: Czars.

                                I want the circumvention of our
                                constitutional checks and balances
                                stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more
                                czars. Government officials answer to the
                                process, not to the president. Stop trampling on
                                our Constitution, and honor it.

                                Four, cap and trade.

                                The debate on global warming is not over. There
                                are many conflicting opinions and it is too soon
                                for this radical legislation. Quit throwing
                                our nation into politically-correct
                                quicksand.

                                Five, universal healthcare.

                                I will not be rushed into another expensive
                                decision that will burden me, my children, and
                                grandchildren. Don't you dare try to pass this
                                in the middle of the night without even reading
                                it. Slow down!  Fix only what is
                                broken -- we have the best health care
                                system in the world -- and test any new program
                                in one or two states first.

                                Six,  growing government control.

                                I want states rights and sovereignty
                                fully restored. I want less government in my
                                life, not more. More is not better! Shrink
                                it down. Mind your own business.  You have
                                enough to take care of with your real
                                [Constitutional] obligations. Why don't you
                                start there.

                                Seven,  ACORN.

                                I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in
                                charge of our 2010 census.
                                I want them investigated. I also do not want
                                mandatory escrow fees contributed
                                to them every time on every real estate deal
                                that closes
                                -- how did they pull that one off?
                                Stop the funding to ACORN and its
                                affiliates pending impartial audits and
                                investigations. I do not trust them with taking
                                the census with our taxpayer money. I don't
                                trust them with any of our taxpayer money. Face
                                up to the allegations against them and get it
                                resolved before taxpayers get any more involved
                                with them. If it walks like a duck and talks
                                like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your
                                political buddies. You work for us, the
                                people. Investigate.

                                Eight, redistribution of wealth.

                                No, no, no. I work for my money. It is
                                mine. I have always worked for people with
                                more money than I have because they gave me
                                jobs -- and that is the only redistribution
                                of wealth that I will support. I never got a job
                                from a poor person! Why do you want me to hate
                                my employers? And what do you have against
                                shareholders making a profit?

                                Nine, charitable contributions..

                                Although I never got a job from a poor person, I
                                have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our
                                local communities, where we know our needs best
                                and can use our local talent and our local
                                resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it
                                ourselves.

                                Ten, corporate bailouts.

                                Knock it off. Every company must sink or swim
                                like the rest of us. If there are hard times
                                ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it
                                and letting the strong survive. Quick and
                                painful. (Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid?)
                                We will pull together.. Great things happen in
                                America under great hardship. Give us the chance
                                to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than
                                you have disappointed us.

                                Eleven,  transparency and accountability.

                                How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's
                                have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest
                                and have some straight honest talk. Please stop
                                trying to manipulate and appease me with
                                clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously
                                take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in
                                back rooms making deals with your friends. It
                                will only be a prelude to your criminal
                                investigation. Stop hiding things from
                                me.

                                Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

                                Take a breath. Listen to the people. Slow down and
                                get some input from nonpoliticians and experts
                                on the subject. Stop making everything an
                                emergency. Stop speed-reading our bills into
                                law. I am not an activist. I am not a community
                                organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a
                                violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent.
                                I work. I'm busy.  I am busy, and I am
                                tired. I thought we elected competent people to
                                take care of the business of government so
                                that we could work, raise our families, pay our
                                bills, have a little recreation, complain about
                                taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal
                                goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the
                                weekends and be responsible contributing members
                                of society and teach our children to be the same
                                all while living in the home of the free and
                                land of the brave.

                                I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I
                                believed in the checks and balances to keep from
                                getting far off course. What
                                happened?
                                You are very far off course. Do you really think
                                I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to
                                unintelligently ramble all through a bill that
                                you signed into law without knowing what it
                                contained? I do not.

    `                           It is a mockery of the responsibility I have
                                entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am
                                not laughing at your arrogance.
                                Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust
                                me to make a single decision about my own life
                                and how I would live it but you should expect
                                that I should trust you with the debt that you
                                have laid on all of us and our children. We did
                                not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would
                                repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still
                                cannot. There is needless urgency and
                                recklessness in all of your recent spending of
                                our tax dollars.

                                From my perspective, it seems that all of you have
                                gone insane. I also know that I am far from
                                alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel
                                that your current pursuits have merit to
                                patriotic Americans? We want it to stop.
                                We want to put the brakes on everything that is
                                being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want
                                our voice back.. You have forced us to put our
                                lives on hold to straighten out the mess that
                                you are making. We will have to give up our
                                vacations, our time spent with our children, any
                                relaxation time we may have had and money we
                                cannot afford to spend on bringing our concerns
                                to Washington . Our president often knows all
                                the right buzzwords like unsustainable. Well, no
                                kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars
                                did the focus group cost to come up with that
                                word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop
                                treating us like we're morons.

                                We want all of you to stop focusing on your
                                reelection and do the job we want done, not the
                                job you want done or the job your party wants
                                done. You work for us and at this rate I
                                guarantee you not for long because we are
                                coming. We will be heard and we will be
                                represented.. You think we're so busy with our
                                lives that we will never come for you? We are
                                the formerly silent majority, all of us who
                                quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote,
                                save money, keep our noses to the grindstone...
                                and we are now looking at you.

                                You have awakened us, the patriotic freedom spirit
                                so strong and so powerful that it had been
                                sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far.
                                Our numbers are great. They may surprise you.
                                For every one of us who will be there, there
                                will be hundreds more that could not come.
                                Unlike you, we have their trust. We will
                                represent them honestly, rest assured. They will
                                be at the polls on voting day to usher you out
                                of office.

We have canceled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots
campaign will flourish.

We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not
                                come in violence, but we are angry. You will
                                represent us or you will be replaced with
                                someone who will.

There are candidates among us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.


          Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian.

Understand this. We don't care.

Political parties are meaningless to us

Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution,
and that is all that matters to us now.

We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and
                                seek more. It is not your power. It is
                                ours and we want it back. We entrusted you
                                with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable.
                                You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed
                                of you. You have brought shame to us.

If you are not representing the wants and needs of
                                your constituency loudly and consistently, in
                                spite of the objections of your party, you will
                                be fired.
Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them.. Because we will get you fired
                                and they will not save you.



If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views,please stand up. Make your identity known

You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are

If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.

We are coming.coming."Are we coming for you? Who do you represent?
What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming, We the people are comingI cound not believe that this woman has summed up exactly what we want this Administration to do, and if they are smart they will take this action and follow it so they will not be voted out in 2010!

Listen up Washington or be voted out in 2010 or sooner!

How Gubmint works

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:12:26 -0600

How Gubmint Works

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So They created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, Then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one Year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."

So they laid off the night watchman.

One real time example: Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ... during the Carter Administration?

No? Didn't think so! So we've spent several hundred billion dollars for an agency ... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!

But we looked it up: It was very simple ... and at the time, everybody thought it to be necessary. The Department of Energy was instituted on 8-04-1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

NOW IT'S 32 YEARS LATER AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. THEY HAVE 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB THEY HAVE DONE!

THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT ARE WE USING FOR BRAINS?" The night watchman could probably answer that question.

AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO TURN THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY OVER TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT????????

If you read this far, congratulations, You now have another valued example besides Social Security, Medicare and the above that the Government already failed at running. I just had to pass this on and I hope you do too. Don't let the deception keep you from seeing we are making a difference and we need to put these extreme liberals back on the shelf where they belong with their idealist fantasies, no common sense and ability to ignore the failures of the past.

SO dilusional that they think this time it will be different, let them reinvent the wheel on their dollar not ours!

These are politicians, how long does it take for the Government and The American People to realize these are not businessman, they mess up any business they try to do with politics and they need to get out of the businesses in America or Vote them out in 2010.

Congressman Fleming wants to hear from you-Give Congress this Healthcare too?

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:56:49 -0500

If all the Congress had to accept the same Health Care they are designing especially for us, do you think this Plan would be the one? Click the Link below and let Congress know that you want them to take this healthcare too..Let your voice be heard, this petition will be given to the Democrats.

Apparently, this is a survey that tells Congress whether you think they should be forced to join the same types of health care plans as every other American and not have a special one of their own.

Do this if you want. Pass it on only if you want to.

When Congressman John Fleming learned that every one of the democrats is seeking via proposed legislation to exempt themselves from government health care (Thats how bad it will be!), he proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of the two-page amendment, H.Res 615, courtesy of Sen. Tom Coburn. Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians and Republicans.

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website http://fleming.house.gov/index.html and sign his petition.

The process is very simple. Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us. It is critical that you write to your democrat member of Congress as the Republicans have already signed it

H.RES.615.
Title: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Members who vote in favor of the establishment of a public, federal government run health insurance option are urged to forgo their right to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and agree to enroll under that public option.
Sponsor: Rep Fleming, John [LA-4] (introduced 7/8/2009) Cosponsors (49)
Latest Major Action: 7/8/2009 Referred to House committee on House Administration.

Please forward this to as many people as possible.

Pass this on For Our Troops!

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:47:35 -0500

For all the free people who still protest,your welcome,
we protect you and you are protected by the best,
your voice is strong and loud, but who will fight for you?
no one standing in your crowd.

we are your fathers, brothers, and sons,
wearing the boots and carrying the guns.
we are the ones that leave all we own,
to make sure your future is carved in stone.

we are the ones who fight and die.
we may not be able to save the world, well at least we try.
we walked the paths to where we are at.
and we want no choice other than that.

so when you rally your group to complain,
take a look in the back of your brain.
in order for that flag you love to fly,
wars must be fought and young men must die.

we came to fight for the ones we hold dear,
if that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
so please stop yelling and put down your signs,
and pray for those behind enemy lines.

when the conflict is over and all is well,
be thankfull that we chose to go through hell!

This really gives you something to think about and we need to be careful with our choices who and how we offend people with our beliefs.

We need to keep the Troops moral high especially now with so many running around preaching peace and not dealing with reality.

I am for our Troops protecting Our Country and other nations..People get so upset that we are in other countries but what I wish they would understand is it is not about just helping out others for these Wars...

It is about keeping our backyards, neighborhoods and homes safe in America..How can they not understand that if we do not go and help now then we will be fighting these wars in our own backyards instead and our own children and loved ones will be dying because terriorism will spread like wildfire and these country's will be taken over by Extermists..

Get educated People, google Bridgette Gabriel and others that know what we are dealing with and have lost their homelands but are now here trying to save their New Adopted Homeland America!

Support our Troops!

Wonder Why Global Warming is now Called Climate Change?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:15:46 -0500

Watch the History Channel..This is a great channel for more facts to put together today's truth.

I just watched a show yesterday Interviewing the people that held the First Global Warming meeting in 1988. Yes Al Gore was invited and attended.

The holders of the meeting said they picked the hottest day of the year and opened all the windows the night before and where happy that the Speaker of the Congress was sweating while presenting his facts.

Now 20 years later there is no global warming so they changed the name to Climate Change cause they had to account for all the Cold Drops in Temperature...We should give them the Big Chill and stop buying the Bull!

Al Gore made a great deal of money on his ideas and books but now the original holders of the meeting can not account for the extreme cold temperatures it said on the History Channel documentary!

Just like it said in the video on the blog I posted on the Copenhagen Treaty- the Original Starters of Green Peace are long gone since it has now fell into the wrong hands...Go Green is not saving the Planet but lining Green in a choice fews pockets...Be Aware America!

Very Interesting information...Pass it on!Picture by nowandthenimaging.com

Did you Pray for Obama and His Adminstration Today?

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:18:11 -0500

During these trying times when the Government is trying to take away our free Enterprise, our freedom and our foundation of "One Nation Under God"

You have to wonder- Why is not every American down on our knees all day long praying for this Administration and for Mercy O' Lord?

O'Lord help us, Please hear us as we cry out to you.

God needs to open our ears and Help show America how to stop This Greed,Corruption and Loss of Our Free Enterprise and our Freedom Now.

Just today I heard a Women in Detroit on TV waiting to receiving free money/ The reporter asked these women repeatedly where the money was coming from. This was their answer "From Obama", calling it "Obama Money"

The reporter said, Who gave Obama the money? and these women said we don't know. again the reporter said well someone had to give Obama the money and they said. We don't know where he got it. All the women could say is "That is why we voted for him!"

I pray that these Americans will see that this money is not from Obama Let them see this is not from Obama, but from God. This is from you and me the hardworking taxpayers of America. This is from the working people's Taxpayers dollars.

We also need to pray to "Keep the stimulus money out of the hands of Evil"and give to those in need only.

Let the people see that they are losing their freedom to help who they want to help. I pray that the Government will not dictate who our taxpayer dollars will go to but that we the people will have the freedom to choose who we want to give money to and that they are truly in need not used to expand this government's agenda.

Should we not be able help our neighbor and love one another without the Government dictating who gets our funds?

We should be praying for what God's will is and for God to choose for us? We should be praying for God to Protect his People in America,

We spend much time in prayer this at our church and in my "Pray for America" group praying for this Administration.

Here is somethings that come into pray that are really powerful and I will pass them on and hope you will do the same.

"Dear Lord, You are glorious and faithful, Please forgive us our sins and the sins of all America Lord,

Let them see your Glory Lord, I pray that The White House will be filled with your Love Lord and You will open the hearts and eyes of every one in the White House and fill them with the Holy Spirit. Let them see your will O'Lord for this country and let them drop to their knees in your Glory O"Lord. You are the God of Israel and let them know that these are your chosen people.

Fill President Obama with dreams and visions Lord of your will. Let him fall in love with you, Jesus Fill his dreams with your face and let him seek your face Jesus. I rebuke the enemy and any evil to enter the White House in Jesus Name.

Let them change from any agenda that is not your will O'Lord..Have mercy on your people Lord and make this administration seek your will and your will alone God.Let them see Your awesome Power and Might and fill them with the Peace and Love that only you can bring..The everlasting Love and Peace that you have already given to us, Your Children.

Let the Muslim community see that You are the only God and that The Trinity is Three in One, Let the Muslim people see their confusion in the Trinity and I pray that Jesus you come into their dreams and show them that you are the Son of God and in part with the Holy Spirit, One God.

Reveal to all in the White House the real meaning of "One Nation under God" , shine your divine protection around all those in and about the White House...

Let them fall on their knees in Fear of You and only You God and seek only your will from this day forward. Let them know that their Creator is a good, kind and merciful Maker. Let them know that we are all made to love you and let them see how much you delight in each and everyone of us.

Let Revival start in the White House Lord and flow into all of America. Let them seek your face and know that you are the way the truth,the light and the love in the World that we are all searching for..That only you Lord can fill all our desires and bring us into your awesome Splendor and Glory. In Jesus Name.

"Pass it on!

Do your research on the Copenhagen Treaty- Don't ignore this!

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:10:52 -0500

I heard that Obama is not going to spend time in Copenhagen with the Climate Change (Copenhagen Treaty) but dig deeper and watch this video to be informed..

This does not mean that Obama will not sign this treaty just because they say he is not going to the Climate change at this point...Remember WaterGate Reporters were laughed at and insulted, the story was buried until 9 months later when the truth was revealed and then the Reporters were praised and celebrated.

We must watch everything these days and be a voice to protect Americans and our Freedom.. This is serious threat to our Freedom and we need to be aware of it..

*Subject: Obama to sign over US Sovereignty to New World Order in Copenhagen

This is not a joke. This is not some right wing paranoia scare. This is as real as it gets. This is the shining hour for socialists and don't think for a moment that they are not going to try to pull "end runs" every single day to circumvent the will of the people or to deceive them in any way possible. It's time to stand up to this socialist NAZI Schwartz Teufel and stop him in his tracks before he destroys our country!

Washington's News Chiefs of 5 Major Networks take a stand for Fox News!

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:07:55 -0500

God is good and the Heroes are starting to take a stand and step up for America and Freedom of the Press.

The Press will take a step to make a comeback in the hearts of the American People. This looks good for the Media that has hit rock bottom lately in the Eyes of America...

We are proud of you for taking a stand and refusing to Interview the Pay Czar unless Fox News was included.

You make us proud one more time in taking a stand for our Freedom...Our forefathers would be proud of your latest stand...

Here is a quote from the Article on Media Boycott of the White House!

"The Obama administration on Thursday failed in its attempt to exclude Fox News from participating in an interview of an administration official, as Republicans on Capitol Hill stepped up their criticism of the hardball tactics employed by the White House.

The Treasury Department on Thursday tried to make "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg available for interviews to every member of the network pool except Fox News. The pool is the five-network rotation that for decades has shared the costs and duties of daily coverage of the presidency and other Washington institutions.

But the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV networks consulted and decided that none of their reporters would interview Feinberg unless Fox News was included. The pool informed Treasury that Fox News, as a member of the network pool, could not be excluded from such interviews under the rules of the pool."

White House Pay Czar Responsible for Pay Cuts

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:15:19 -0500

Oh, Yes, this is terrible that those greedy executives are getting their pay cuts...You think so?

What is worse is that they have been trying to give this money back and the White House will not take it.

It looks like the mouse took the bait and is now caught in the trap!

If these financial institutions would have known the cost they would have to pay for taking the Governments hand outs they would have never taken it in the first place.

Why does the Government not want to get our Taxpayers dollars back?

Why is the Government with no business degrees in the Business and Fianance Industry in the first place, since none of these Czars have any financial degrees is what we should be asking instead?

Who let these Czars out to make decisions without the Approval of Congress in the First Place?

Who is running this Government really?

As per the Associated Press Article here is some of the article:

White House pay czar Kenneth Feinberg was the driving force behind the move to order steep pay cuts from bailed-out executives, and did not even seek the president's approval before making his decision.

The Treasury Department is expected to formally announce in the next few days a plan to slash annual salaries by about 90 percent from last year for the 25 highest-paid executives at the seven companies that received the most from the Wall Street bailout. Total compensation for the top executives at the firms would decline, on average, by about 50 percent.

The sweeping decision, though, came from Feinberg and not from President Obama.

One official told Fox News that Feinberg from the start had the independent authority to work with companies and make such a call. Obama was never required to sign off before final decisions were made.

On Thursday, the chairwoman of the panel that oversees the $700 billion federal bailout fund said the Obama administration is serious about the new plan. In an interview, Elizabeth Warren said reports of pending slashes in executive salaries are "real."

"It's real in the sense that it says, 'Guys, you have to understand that you can't party on like it's 2007. If you're going to take taxpayer dollars, then the game has to change. In that sense it's real,'" she said on CBS' "The Early Show."

The seven affected companies are: Bank of America, American International Group, Citigroup, General Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial.

Smaller companies and those that have repaid the bailout money, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not affected.

Under the plan, at the financial products division of AIG, the giant insurance company which has received taxpayer assistance valued at more than $180 billion, no top executive will receive more than $200,000 in total compensation, one person familiar with Feinberg's plan said.

The administration also will warn AIG that it must fulfill a commitment to significantly reduce the $198 million in bonuses promised to employees in its financial services division, the arm of the company whose risky trades caused its downfall.

The pay restrictions for all seven companies will require any executive seeking more than $25,000 in special benefits -- things such as country club memberships, private planes and company cars -- to get permission for those perks from the government.

The debate on global warming is not over. There are many conflicting opinions and it is too soon for this radical legislation. Quit throwing our nation into politically-correct quicksand. Five, universal healthcare.

I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. More is not better! Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real [Constitutional] obligations. Why don't you start there. Seven, ACORN.

Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves. Ten, corporate bailouts.

We have canceled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.

We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will.

There are candidates among us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution. Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian.

Understand this. We don't care.

Political parties are meaningless to us

Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution, and that is all that matters to us now.
