Happy New Year...maybe?

Happy New Year... Wait a minute! Can I honestly say that? At the moment the only thing happy about it is that it is an election year and maybe, just maybe, we can turn this country around again. The previous year may go down in history as the year we lost America if we don't soon do something about it.
Hi. I've been inactive since just before Christmas and it may take me awhile to catch up on all that has been going on. One thing that is an ongoing problem is that we still have altogether too many people believing in party politics which is at the heart of the problem...especially among Democrats. I can't help but to repeat that oft used line from an old movie (often referred to as the definition of insanity and wrongly contributed to Albert Einstein) , "They keep on doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." These die-hard Democrats cannot identify anything good that their favorite candidates have done for the Country.
Case in point... Just last week I was speaking to an old friend over whatever good Ted Kennedy has done for the United States. The immediate answer from this long time supporter was that he (Ted Kennedy) was responsible for the National Sea Shore on Cape Cod. Talk about being out of touch with reality! ...and is this all she can think of? What a pity! (By the way, it was John F. Kennedy that was responsible for the National Sea Shore.) When I mentioned, "...altogether too many people..." above, I honestly believe that it includes most of the population in the Northeast. They don't have a clue as to the real problems we are facing...like losing out national sovereignty...losing our monetary system...losing our capability to defend ourselves...and on and on we go...everyone of these problems created by the very people we elected and the insanity continues...they keep right on doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Well this time they may have got what they been hoping for. Change! Change from a Republic to an Oligarchy. Change from freedom to serfdom. ...and on and on it goes and they still don't have a clue.
Wake up my friend, wake up. Time is short! ~ Norman E. Hooben

Subject: RE: worth reading




Don't just delete this as another dumb political item. It is non partisan and it is time we act rather than whine and preach to the choir. Take the time to read it all.

According to

the Trustees for the Social Security Administration,

" THERE WILL NOT BE A COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS IN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

ADDITIONALLY THEY WILL RAISE YOUR CO-PAY FOR YOUR RX MEDICARE BENEFITS " !

They, the Congress (BOTH "REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS TOGETHER") say no increase is warranted because of the losses in gross national product and other cute things..

NOW SPORTS FANS

THIS IS THE ONE THAT WILL FLIP YOU OUT!!

THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION IS FUNDING TWENTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS-- LET ME REPEAT THAT AMOUNT...

SO YOU UNDERSTAND IT $ 24,000,000.00 DOLLARS FOR NEW ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS PROCESSING FOR OUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS !!

THEY ARE OBTAINING THESE FUNDS

and

I QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY WEBSITE...

"THIS MONEY WILL BE COMING FROM THE SAVINGS TO BE GENERATED

FROM WITHHOLDING "COST OF LIVING INCREASES FOR 2010 & 2011

in SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR THE ELDERLY

AND A $2.00 INCREASE ON ALL MEDICARE RX BENEFIT CO-PAY"


Please pass this to ALL your friends and have them

"PROTEST TO THE IDIOTS WE ELECTED TO CONGRESS"

who by the way, have just voted themselves ANOTHER 3% SALARY INCREASE!!!

We must put a stop to this outright thievery!

It is THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE, BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS, WE CAN'T FIRE THEM, BUT WE SURE CAN NOT RE-ELECT THEM,

and WE CAN IMPEACH THEM

or DEMAND RECALL ELECTIONS !!!

HOW ABOUT WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND DUMP THESE CLOWNS.

Just watch.

They will spend this money and find the software doesn't work,

dump the whole thing and go back to the old steam driven system

just like they did with air traffic control several years ago.

Don't worry though, they've got health care all worked out.
So here is what we CAN do....


All I ask is that you consider the suggestion here.

The entire Congress of the United States is corrupt.

And I mean both Houses and I mean both major parties.
I realize that a few Members of each House are trustworthy,

but, as a group they are absolutely the most corrupt bunch

to ever disgrace our Nation.


In November of 2010

the entire House of Representatives will stand for re-election;

all 435 of them.

One third of the Senate,

a total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election.

Vote every incumbent out.
And I mean every one of them.

No matter their Party affiliation.

Let's start all over in the House of Representatives with 435 people who have absolutely no experience in running that body,

with no political favors owed to anyone but their own constituents.

Let's make them understand that they work for us...
They are answerable to us
and they simply have to run that body
with some common sense.
Two years later, in 2012,

vote the next third of the incumbents in the Senate out.
We can do the same thing in 2014 and,

by that time we will have put all new people in that body as well.

We, the People,
have got to take this Country back and we HAVE to do it peacefully.
That's what the Framers of our Constitution envisioned.

I am also suggesting term limits on the NEW BUNCH
Ý

8 YEARS FOR REPRESENTATIVES AND 12 YEARS OF SENATORS.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

THE LONGER THEY STAY IN OFFICE THE MORE POWER THEY GET

AND THEY LOVE IT AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET RE-ELECTED.

WE HAVE TERM LIMITED THE PRESIDENT
Ý

NOW LET'S TERM LIMIT THE LEGISLATORS.

Please,

if you love this Country,

send this (as I have done) to absolutely everyone

whose email address appears in your address book..
This thing can permeate this Country in no time.

Let's make it happen.
