$1.3 TRILLION in "Stimulus Spending"                                  & less than 20% for Shovel Ready Projects.

8.5% UNEMPLOYMENT & CONGRESS chooses "pet projects" over job creating projects.

WHO WROTE THE STIMULUS BILL IN THE HOUSE..........                                                  ....... & WHO WROTE THE SENATE VERSION

$500 BILLION plus in the OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL - more pet projects....    

 Does unemployment have to reach 10% before we say ENOUGH....

       Join in a Tea Party next week and let CONGRESS hear that -                          WE THE PEOPLE  -                                                      
     pay too much in taxes for the incompetence of CONGRESS

No more Bailouts / No More Partisan Projects

FIRE CONGRESS

Start With Chris Dodd & Barney Frank

Then Everyone that voted for the STIMULUS & didn't read it...

GM is $62 BILLION in debt even after multiple gifts exceeding $30 Billion from US TAXPAYERS.

The clock is ticking and you have a choice.  Make a deal that hurts or lose everything.  With Benefits alone costing GM $31 / hr. there is no sign of a profitable business plan going forward. 

Bankruptcy is a given before summer.  And Obama will force GM to cut back on trucks and SUVs the 11 models that actual turn a profit for the company. 

HOPE & CHANGE - - - - is this what you had in mind????

GOVERNMENT MANDATING BALANCED CONTENT FOR PRIVATE NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT ENTERPRISES ON RADIO AND TELEVISION

This measure is a key position going forward by DEMs in Congress to control private enterprises & the message to America.  Since most talk radio is conservative, DEMs want to tell private radio station owners that they MUST offer as many liberal talk shows as conservative despite the economic impact (audience & advertiser support). 

Election Assures Conservative Talk Radio

$$$$$$ MILLION $$$$$$

Will DEMs require CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS to offer fair and balanced conservative program HOSTS vs. guests?  Will DEMs require New York Times, McClatchy Media, all liberal media including websites to hire conservative columnists and give equal time?  NOT ON THE AGENDA.

Is this what a SOCIALIST AGENDA buys.....When the "Excellence In Journalism Report" was released last weekend the TV and print media coverage was decidedly biased toward their liberal agenda.

LIBERAL MEDIA:  CNN, MSNBC, nbc, abc cbs

60%  -  unfavorable to McCain.......................28%  -  unfavorable to Obama

FOX NEWS:

40%  -  unfavorable to McCain.......................40%  -  unfavorable to Obama

...CONGRESS - Americans voted 4 CHANGE not the "S-word"

How many FELONS with no voting rights has ACORN registered to vote in battleground states...30,000 in Florida

How many states will purge those registrations from their voter registration lists?

ACORN Felons Registered To Vote In Flordia - CNN Report

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_yOJkXEUao

More than 30,000 Florida felons who by law should have been stripped of their right to vote remain registered to cast ballots in this presidential battleground state, a Sun Sentinel investigation has found. 

TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT

HUGO CHAVEZ SETS PRECONDITIONS 

FOR MEETING WITH OBAMA  IF HE WINS

Chavez said he would meet with Obama only "on equal and respectful terms."  "I hope the next (US) government will end that savage embargo and aggression against Cuba. That will be the test," said Chavez, a visceral anti-American, self-described "political son" of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Calling it "no small matter" that an African-American should reach the White House, Chavez called on the US to withdraw its troops from Iraq and stop threatening Iran and Venezuela.
During his election campaign, Democrat Obama has stated his intention of talking without preconditions to US foes such as Iran and North Korea and lifting some US restrictions against Cuba.

Hugo Chavez expels US Ambassador "In solidarity with Bolivia."  "He has 72 hours, from this moment, the Yankee ambassador in Caracas, to leave Venezuela," Chavez told a crowd of supporters. "When there's a new government in the United States, we'll send an ambassador. A government that respects Latin America."  The president said he was making the moves "in solidarity with Bolivia and the people of Bolivia."  In August 2000 Chavez defied the U.S. by becoming the first head of state to visit Saddam Hussein since the Kuwait war.   In February 2001,  Colin Powell sent Hugo Chavez a stern message - In response to a question about Chavez's alleged ties to Colombia's FARC narco-terrorists, he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "We have been concerned with some of the actions of Venezuelan President Chavez and his understanding of what a democratic system is all about.''

Chavez Supports:  Narcotics Trafficers, Dictatorships, Anything Anti-American, Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, Bolivia.... and such stellar leaders as Fidel Castro, Sadam Hussein....

 ................and Barack Obama................

Not even Hugo Chavez will meet with Obama without preconditions...

...when the young JFK met with Soviet Leaders they measured his resolve and determined that this president was weak - leading to nuclear arms in Cuba and the Cuban missle crisis.

Have we learned anything from history?

GM is taking a beating from foreign brands, namely Toyota who enjoys a 10% tax advantage NOW globally vs. GM.  By the end of 2009 GM plans to CUT $10 Billion from cash spending.................. - IN RESPONSE TO ECONOMIC CRISIS..... Today, 71% increase vs. last year in foreclosures, credit crunch, stagnant car sales... How will the Obama Tax impact GM, GM employees, medium and small businesses - and will $1 trillion in new spending create new jobs?

....Obama - NOT ONE SPENDING PROGRAM HE WOULD CUT OR FREEZE from his $1 TRILLION in NEW SPENDING - his solution - Raise taxes on business & top 5% of higher income Americans to pass out $500 checks to 60% of Americans.

..............Will That $500 Tax Relief Check Save Our JOBs.................

....McCain proposes to FREEZE GOVERNMENT SPENDING on all but vital programs, like every American family.  Reduce business tax rates to close the gap globally vs. Europe, Asia and the rest of the world to enhance our competitive position globally and encourage growth in SMALL business that drives our economy. 

$10 Billion In Planned Spending Cuts at GM = How Many Jobs
This week GM layed off 1,300 & many more to come.  Does it make sense in dire economic times to  increase taxes to SHARE THE WEALTH ($500 check) and what will be the real cost to the middle class - JOBS?????

GM SPOKESPERSON - Borst: Sept. 24, 2008  -  "We need to monitor (the) impact of uncertain credit markets," Borst said in the presentation. GM expects to cut a total of $650 million by reducing the cost of salaried employees and cutting working capital allocations, Borst said. The latter will include cutting finished product inventory by half, he added. GM has hired an outside consultant to find other ways to cut back on the cash tied up in its plants, Borst said.  By the end of 2009, GM expects to have cut $10 billion from its cash spending, with 15 percent of the reductions completed by the end of this year and the remainder coming next year. GM said last week it would draw down the $3.5 billion remaining on a secured credit facility. Borst said that would bolster liquidity "at a time when capital markets have become more challenging."

BILL CLINTON ON ECONOMIC CRISIS - video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsynspIqAoE

 Democrat or Republican, you should get a kick out of this! 
 
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ' What is Politics ?  
Dad says, ' Well son, let me try to explain it this way: 
 
I set the agenda for the family , so call me CONGRESS. 
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so!  We call her the ADMINISTRATION. 
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you The PEOPLE  !
The nanny, we will consider her the WORKING CLASS. 
And your baby brother, we will call him the FUTURE. 
 
Now think about that and see if it makes sense. ' 
So the little boy! Goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. 
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. 
He finds that the baby has severely Soiled his diaper. 
So the little boy goes to his parents ' room and finds his mother asleep.  
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. 
He gives up and goes back to bed.
 
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, '
Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. '
The father says, ' Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about. ' 
 
The little boy replies:
  
'The CONGRESS is SCREWING the WORKING CLASS while the ADMINISTRATION is sound asleep. 
 
The PEOPLE are being ignored and the FUTURE is in DEEP DooDoo!!

BIG BIZ doesn't pay tax - pass through to US and employees severely impacting our economy.  Obama corporate tax forces a 10% price increase to all Americans & a clear competitive disadvantage to US in global sales.  

Take Everything YOU Buy - Electricity, Gas, Food.....

Multiply that by 10%....

That is what the Obama plan will cost every American....
PLUS MORE - price increases, layoffs, exported jobs, reduced benefits, plant closures and unemployment.

GM alone will be taxed $125 BILLION under Obama (45%). That means under Obama - advantage to #1 TOYOTA.  Obama TAX gives TOYOTA a $69 BILLION advantage over GM.  McCain plan cuts corporate tax by 10% to create an equal playing field for GM vs. TOYOTA based on taxes.    

AT&T will be taxed $53 Billion under Obama vs. $29 Billion under McCain.  That means under Obama - advantage to NOKIA.  Obama TAX allows Nokia to leapfrog AT&T in revenue after taxes by $4 Billion despite AT&T enjoying a 40% SALES ADVANTAGE. McCain plan would allow AT&T to retain a $32 Billion advantage over NOKIA.

GLOBAL COMPETITION  /  JOBS  /  BENEFITS  /  SECURITY  /  LOCAL COMPETITION

Obama chastises American businesses for exporting jobs, reducing employee benefits, layoffs, price increases, unemployment, trade defecits, reduced exports of US made goods...

...and the answer from Obama and the left is to increase corporate taxes.     With the current corporate tax rate (35%) the second highest in the world increasing to 40% - 45% under Obama, all of these problems facing the middle class will get worse.  Businesses must COMPETE GLOBALLY and with shrinking profits from increased corporate taxes, state & local tax (+5% to 7.5%), payroll taxes, cost of benefits...

The middle class pays dearly for increased corporate taxes.

The Obama economic strategy makes as much sense as the DEMs driving Fannie/Freddie to create sub-prime mortgage loans to people that can't afford them, opposing regulation and reform proposed by McCain & the GOP then railing against Wall Street when the economic crisis becomes OUR REALITY...and blaming those who proposed added regulation and reform of Fannie/Freddie.

RobinHood Obama puts $200 - $2,000 in the pocket of the middle class to spend on gas or whatever......McCain puts $2,500 / individual or $5,000 per family in the pocket of every American as a tax credit for HEALTHCARE expenses.  He will more than double the tax credit (checks) that Bush initiated for low and middle income families and increase the child dependent credit by almost double.

Damaging Our Competitive Position In Global Markets Must Not  Be The Policy Of Our Government

Global Avg. Corporate Tax Rate :  25%  vs.  40%-45% US Corp. Tax Rate / Obama

This year 23 countries have lowered their corporate tax rates including Canada, China, Columbia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

This CHANGE is WRONG for all Americans

Obama's priority is to hold a debate on Friday instead of 5 days later saying it isn't neccessary to return to DC - to his job - to lend LEADERSHIP on the "biggest crisis facing America since WWII and mabe the Great Depression, we need to fix this fast," according to Obama.

Remind me again who Obama is in this election for - - - the American people, the middle class, those people facing foreclosure, small businesses struggling now to make payroll, people trying to get student loans, people whose jobs have been eliminated or outsourced - the little guy?????

Paulson and economist say we need this deal DONE by next week or the impact could begin a ripple that our economy and Americans can't take.  Senator Reid, the leader of the DEMS on the RESCUE COMMISSION said on Tuesday, DEMs won't support the Bush/Paulson Rescue bill unless John McCain supports it.  TOTALLY POLITICAL!!!!  DEM House Chair - Nancy Pelosi concurred and said if McCain & GOP don't support this - no Democrat will vote for it.  McCain packs his campaign and heads to DC.

NERO-bama FIDDLES WHILE ROME BURNS - remind me again who is showing LEADERSHIP and putting the needs of Americans FIRST and who is running a political game on Americans...Obama's priority is a debate over weighing in on this CRISIS that the next President and all Americans will inherit.

Once again when the stakes are high - Obama blinked.

The economic map changed last week so both candidates must revise their economic plans.....No more promises just to buy votes......                                         CHANGE  -  or you aren't worth our vote.  

IF CONGRESS APPROVES SPENDING $1 TRILLION to "RESCUE our ECONOMY" increases our debt 1/3rd and ensures a defecit for at least 8-10 years what is the RESPONSIBLE ACTION required of our government...and our Presidential candidates?  TaxPayer Equity Participation!!!

STRANGEST NEWS THIS WEEK  - Dem Sen. Chris Dodd presides over the hearings to evaluate the bi-partisan commission's plan to Bail-Out WALL St. with $700 Billion to recover from mortgage crisis caused by Fannie & Freddie.  Sen. Dodd brokered the deal with Fannie & Freddie to create sub-prime mortgage loans that got us here in the first place.  Sen. Dodd is the #1 recipient of contributions from Fannie & Freddie & Obama is #2 recipent of contributions from Fannie & Freddie over the last 10 yrs. - curios in just 3 years in DC.                                                   
     TRANSPARENCY / REGULATION / OVERSIGHT / TRUST?

Obama says -  "we got here by giving breaks to those with the most and hoping it will trickle down to the rest of us..."  We are facing a national / global crisis and Obama LIES about how we got here, who is responsible and offers no solution over 100 hours into this crisis...    150 hours into the CRISIS & Obama announces today (9/23) the exact program outlined by McCain last week.  The truth is well known in Washington & DEM fingerprints are all over this crisis from driving Fannie & Freddie to offer sub-prime mortgages to people who can't afford the payments to blocking regulation offered by McCain & Republicans in 2005 to PROVIDE OVERSIGHT AND AVOID THIS VERY CRISIS.

TRUTH -  Not Obamanation - These GENIUSES IN CONGRESS - NONE anticipated in 1999 that unsecured sub-prime mortgage loans proposed by Bill Clinton to help low/medium income Americans to buy homes - would default at a very high rate & devalue the mortgage assets on the balance sheet at Fannie, Freddie and any company / investment firms with substantial investments in Fannie & Freddie.   TRUTH -  Not Obamanation - These GENIUSES IN CONGRESS - Killed the McCain Federal Regulatory Reform Act in 2005 designed to reel in excesses at Fannie & Freddie.      TRUTH - Not Obamanation -  Now this bi-partisan commission wants us to give $1 Trillion of our TAX DOLLARS to prop up WALL St. by covering the bad debt from the sub-prime mortgages they got us into and since there is no market for this bad debt HOW DO TAXPAYERS GET PAID BACK.  Likely - we won't meaning this is the WORST form of defecit spending.....and at 1/3rd our current debt for a decade.     TRUTH -  Not Obamanation - Huge surprise, six days since the Wall Street  Bail-Out and no official position on how bail-outs should be managed or the affect his economic plan will be adjusted in response to current events.  ALL OBAMA HAS DONE FOR 6 DAYS IS BLAME THE WHITE HOUSE FOR WHAT IN TRUTH IS CONGRESSIONAL FAILURE REACHING BACK TO 1999.    

TRUTH -  Neither Obama or McCAIN Can responsibly offer an economic plan that leaves our NATIONAL DEBT at  $5 Trillion....with politically driven policies...GO TO WORK...show leadership....earn our vote.

CHANGE.....IN A NATIONAL / GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS no more LIES, no more PARTISANSHIP, no more finger pointing, no more politically driven ideas with no accountability that don't solve the problem...  NO MORE OF THE SAME 

Obama 9/22/08 Green Bay -"I want to be honest with you."   Facts show he can't.

Obama Blames Bush & McCain for current economic crisis....DEMs proposed & brokered (D -Chris Dodd, Connecticut) the deal with Fannie & Freddie in 1999.  McCain proposed 2005 Fed Housing Regulatory Reform Act KILLED BY DEMs IN CONGRESS.   TODAY - Obama says - if we had Regulatory Reforms in place before this took place it could have been avoided -  -   SO MR. OBAMA  -  DOES THAT MEAN McCAIN GOT IT RIGHT IN 2005 PROPOSING FED HOUSING REGULTATION & REFORM.......So how do you justify blaming McCain????  

Obama Blames Lobbyists - corrupting the process in DC - OBAMA #2 recipient of contributions from Fannie & Freddie in a 10 year study (Obama there 4 yrs.).   DEM - Chris Dodd is #1 in special interest dollars from Fannie & Freddie.  In DC, Obama bottom 10% in Spending For Americans, Biden is dead last in spending for Americans while McCain spending is 100% for Americans - according to the government watchdog study released last week.

        Lobbyists Don't Take Bribes For Votes / Politicians Do

REAL CHANGE - The record is clear - Mr. Obama can't set aside party politics  

WRONG on FANNIE-FREDDIE in 19999  /  STUPID WRONG on REGULATION & REFORM in 2005  /  WRONG on the SURGE /  WRONG on the ECONOMY

$1,000 / middle-class family is a band-aid on a broken Washington

Anything short of bi-partisanship is MORE OF THE SAME. 

IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY...Obama's strategy will have a TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT that will cost Americans and American business far more than $500 Billion.  It will cost American workers and businesses at least another 5% reduction in competitiveness in the global market which means jobs, benefits and much more.  Today there is a 70% - 99% chance that your computer, TV, DVD, oven, refrigerator and many other items in your home are foreign made from materials produced in foreign countries. 

American businesses are the second highest taxed in the world.  Our government forces American businesses to make tough choices to be competitive (outsourcing jobs, reducing benefits, reducing employer contributions to  benefis, layoffs, payroll, price increases, buying foreign raw materials and selling their businesses to foreign owners), choices affecting the American workforce.   

Solve the real problems or face the long term price... Bail-Out?                                     
                One thing is for certain - - - -

Raising business taxes has a Trickle Down Effect that damages our competitiveness, our economy and our future...but it might get you elected.                  Biden - I call BS on your comments about patriotism.

A historic moment in American politics.    

Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama blame the Bush administration for this crisis....truth- McCain proposed the Federal Housing Regulatory Reform Act 2005  http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?b
ill=s109-190  DEMs killed this BILL in the HOUSE controlled by Nancy Pelosi.

John McCain - January 2005 "I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation."  (comments attached to S. 190)

____________________________________________

Obama opposed a Bi-Partisan commission proposed by McCain to solve the problem.  "We need leadership" Obama said.  But where did Obama stand on the bill sponsored by McCain in 2005 on Fed Housing Regulatory Reform Act that would have acted on excesses at Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac....YOU GUESSED IT......Swift action to save taxpayers, our financial markets and solve the problems requires leadership & Bi-Partisan congressional action.  96 HOURS AND STILL NO LEADERSHIP FROM OBAMA - NOT EVEN A POSITION. 

Can anyone justify heaping more taxes on American taxpayers and businesses after the BAIL-OUTS.....Can anyone justify cutting taxes "for 95% of Americans" with no strings (spend it on anything) considering the state of our economy...

Obama said that McCain is wrong so he must know what he thinks is right.....96 hrs. and still no position just criticism...more of the same.

REAL CHANGE comes from admitting at times when you were wrong and someone else got it right.  POLITICAL GRIDLOCK AND PARTY POLITICS MADE THIS CRISIS OUR REALITY.  There is a RIGHT course of action to take that won't be popular with Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Barack Obama and other politically entrenched Dems  - 

How did Mortgage Crisis Happen - 1999 BILL CLINTON pushed for new mortgage programs from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to make housing loans affordable for lower income Americans.  Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Connecticut) whose state is home to the insurance industry (Connecticut), brokered the agreement along with unanimous supoort from his party and Phil Graham (R-Texas).

REAL CHANGE IS RIGHT FOR AMERICA - solve the problems 

 

VOTE FOR THE ONE YOU KNOW WILL CHOOSE - RIGHT FOR AMERICA
