WE CAN TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY NOW!

[Edie Boudreau]

I received most of this blog from a friend by email, then added many more steps that I feel would make a difference with our economy, our national security, unemployment and quality of life. All that is asked is that you consider the suggestions here and decide if you agree and are willing to stand up for our country.

I suspect that the entire Congress of the United States is corrupt. And we mean both Houses and both major parties. I also think that a majority of the Executive Branch, including and especially Obama, is not only corrupt, but is also intent on turning our country into a Marxist, One-World nation under control of the UN.

We 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. If those who are trustworthy are aware of the promised removal from their office, and they are patriotic, they can always run for office in the other political House or Senate (if we agree and nominate them as one of the candidates). They must know that they will be expected to work FOR THE PEOPLE, and they must give up most of their political perks.

They just need to know that we will no longer tolerate lobbyists or special interest control, and that
they will not be treated any better than we, the people. They (as well as all current politicians) must give up all their health-care and retirement perks, and go on Social Security and Medicare, and help pay for their own health, car, and life insurance. They must also work for the full year, just as we do--not for a few months a year with the ability to fly home to another State every WEEKEND. They will get no more than four TWO-WEEK breaks a year, during which they can go to the State they represent to spend one week to talk to their constituents, as well as one week to celebrate whichever holiday the break is on.

The amount saved on their private air transportation will be enormous. The amount we save on everything to do with our government will end the deficit with Social Security and Medicare, especially if we insist on a law that forbids Congress or the President from raiding those funds to put them into the General fund, as they have been doing and how our deficits were created.

We must also have trusted FBI and local law enforcement agencies investigate the corruption and theft currently running rampant in our government and health-care agencies and facilities. Corrupt politicians must be charged and forced to repay their theft, as well as go to prison, like Madoff. The same must be said of private criminals working in the health-care field. We must also force Congress to get rid of their obviously corrupt constituents NOW. Only they can remove Pelosi and Reid from their positions of power. An ordinary citizen cannot start a recall of elected officials; I already checked.

We must go through the books and eliminate all pork projects that have not yet started or which obviously are unnecessary. Projects like Murtha's airport should be sold and privatized. If we can't stop a project, we should use unemployed workers collecting welfare to finish them. We must dissolve the duplicate/ unnecessary government jobs and offices, and lower government job payrolls to be equivalent to the average pay of the same private jobs. All Congressional or other government job pay raises must to approved by the people during regular elections.

A Bill must be passed immediately that allow citizens to buy health, life, and car insurance from any state, in order to provide competition and lower costs. All employed citizens must buy medical insurance, just as they have to buy car insurance, even if it only be for catastrophic medical costs. The joke of a $250 fine for not doing it is for political reasons. Very low-income families, people with previous medical conditions, and those between jobs can be subsidized by federal benefits, but it would still cost less than Medicaid.

Agencies like the ACLU must be investigated and quashed if it is learned that their sole intent is to remove God and free religion from our Constitution and our lives, and to turn this country into a One-World Marxist nation under control of the UN. Our Founders built this country with God's favor, and it must stay that way, even if a small minority disagree. Progressives have been the cause of America's crises, and they must be stopped.

Illegal immigrants should return to their homelands, and if they don't, any of them who are already convicted of a crime or who are arrested for a crime must be deported, and any family members dependent on that person should accompany them. Illegal immigrants who have come to America just to have anchor babies should also be deported, and anchor babies will no longer be considered automatic citizens. The E-Verify Bill must be passed, and all employers must use that service to be sure that they are hiring and paying taxes for legal residents.

Meanwhile, we should provide workfare jobs to those on welfare to complete our border security fences all along our Southern border. We must change all welfare into workfare--with recipients working 20 hours a week and attending classes in some needed skills (as well as English if necessary) that will enable them to get a better-paying job and be able to increase their self-esteem as well as contribute to the US.

Our educational system must also be investigated and reformed, so we can be sure that our children are not being indoctrinated by the current political party. FACTS must be taught, whether in history, politics, science, math, or any other subject that can be twisted and have truth destroyed. That means all books being used, other printed materials, and the teachers' own political bent and intent must be investigated.

We must reform the TORT Bill and force negotiation of settlements be conducted first, then have trial settlements kept to levels of costs, loss of income, and quality of life. Larger settlements must be limited to malpractice and illegal acts. Lawyer's fees must be lowered to 10% of the settlements instead of the current 33 to 35%, and in cases of frivolous lawsuits, the loser must pay all legal costs.

We must stop paying off unions for their political support of corrupt politicians by stopping the Card Check Bill, and they must also have their health-care and retirement perks lowered to the same level as the people they represent. If we are going to recover our economic health, all union job payrolls should be made competitive, so that American companies can recover without government bail-outs. The Capitalist Market system must be allowed to recover.

The Stimulous Bill must be cancelled, as well as all other Bailouts, and any funds left must go to pay off our loans from China and other competitive countries. Our existing energy resources must be brought back into use, so we can be energy independent. Use of Nuclear energy sources must be expanded quickly, and we must stop subsidizing solar panels and windmills. They need to be self-sufficient before becoming part of our energy program. Savings from energy independence can also pay our debt to China.

The previous suggestions would eliminate any need for the Health-Care Reform Bill now being considered in Congress and the Senate. We especially should not have Government-run health-care. The state of our Social Security, Medicare, and Medicade programs should be enough evidence of government corruption and incompetence. Cap and Trade also has now been revealed as another scam by Al Gore and other politicians who have and would profit by forcing energy costs on US citizens in order to "save our planet."

Something most citizens don't know about is also their incompetence and lack of conscience in benefits provided to people on Indian Reservations. Most American Indians now live in a similar fashion to former black slaves. Government forced them onto Reservations, and since then have ignored and mistreated them disgracefully. Their medical benefits are half what they should be, and usually are gone by June. Educational facilities and income benefits are also disgraceful. Only a few tribes are now allowed to have gambling facilities and make a lot of money. For those of you in doubt, start Googling the various tribes and their living conditions. And remember, that is our government's fault. They thought it was invisible.

In November of 2010, the entire House of Representatives will stand for reelection--all 435 of them.
One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand for reelection. VOTE EVERY INCUMBENT OUT. And we 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.

And we should also add a third major Party that can incorporate Independents, Libertarians, and Conservative Americans--all of whom can participate in the Primaries and be on the ballots.

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 and without a personal agenda. We are also suggesting term limits on the new bunch: 8 years for Representatives and 12 years for Senators – no exceptions. The longer they stay in office, the more power they get, and they love it and will do anything to get reelected.

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 have term-limited the President, now let’s term-limit the Legislators.

For the Presidential election in 2012 ( or possibly before, if we learn that Obama is ineligible), we must investigate (vet) every candidate thoroughly so that another Obama cannot sneak into the office. We should all be ashamed that we let Congress and the media slide him into office because of either political correctness or bribery. We must demand that Obama unseal all his historical documents, including the long-form birth certificate, all his school records, and his passport records. (If you are curious, check out http://newzeal.blog to learn about his Communist history.

Made a demand of Congress that they push this through, so we can finally know if he is even eligible to be our President. If he isn't, charge him (and all who lied and enabled him to become President no matter how rich or powerful they are) with Treason and put them in prison. That will automatically void every law and Bill that he passed in the past year, and we can start over without his mandates hanging over us and without his appointees and czars. We can have a quick election with kown patriotic nominees to fill the presidential gap.

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.

Please, if you love this Country, send this (as I have done) to absolutely everyone--the media, your friends, other blogs you belong to, and your local and national representatives.

This patriotic resolution can permeate this Country in no time. Let's make it happen.

Don't just delete this—please pass it on and give our Country a fighting chance.

VOTE THE POWER ABUSERS OUT..........LET'S TAKE AMERICA BACK !!!!!!!!!

IF YOU LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING IN OUR COUNTRY, THEN DO NOTHING..........
