Lieberman Keeps Post! finally a win for independents  - this sends a message to Americans

This is a great step for Americans. It sends a message that not all Democrats are created equal, some of them still have some scruples left and know he was doing a great job in this position, regardless of his being an independent. Lieberman stands for an American that has the strength to stand up for his convictions.  read more ....

Bailout is a sellout to taxpayers -

Looks like Barney Frank Slipped this one into The Bailout Bill in the Last Minute! For Every $100,000 Dollars that Your Home Is Worth, $420 will go to groups like ACORN. It will be on your closing statement!

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/16704/

http://www.culbersonforcongress.com/en/art/?120


CONGRESSMAN CULBERSON: There is going to be voter fraud. We don’t know how massive it is but no question, ACORN and other organizations like them are going to be a big part of it because they have pled guilty. I mean, ACORN has literally pled guilty to false — to fraudulent voter registration. And in Houston we discovered there’s about 4,000 dead people on the voter rolls here. It’s going on around the country. We’re the only nation I think on the face of the Earth that doesn’t have a citizenship list, a citizenship roll that you can just check the database against voter rolls, and ACORN has a long history of this, Glenn. And, you know, that’s particularly outrageous is that the mortgage bailout, the Freddie and Fannie Mae bailout bill which was done this August which I also voted against because that nationalized the mortgage industry, that bill, Barney Frank voted language in that bill this summer which hard wires $420 of a $100,000 mortgage to ACORN, La Raza and other organizations like –

GLENN: That’s an outrage. Why didn’t the American people know? That’s an absolute outrage.

CONGRESSMAN CULBERSON: And it is forever. It bypass — I’m on the appropriations committee. It bypasses appropriations, bypasses the congress, it’s in your closing documents.
This from day forward we will all be paying 4.2% basis fee of $420 for every $100,000 mortgage in your closing paper will have papers. You’ll have a new little line in there, a new fee that we’re going to all pay to go straight to these affordable housing funds which the states then hard wire to La Raza, ACORN, groups like that.

GLENN: Congressman, what the hell has happened to our country? All of a sudden we are a — we are marching towards Marxism. We are marching to a place that this — congressman, you know it and I know it. You are from Texas. This ain’t gonna hold. This is not going to last.

Traffic Jam: Truckers Protest Fuel Costs

Tons of freight idled across the country Tuesday as independent truckers pulled their rigs off the road while others slowed to a crawl on major highways in a loosely organized protest of high fuel prices.

Using CB radios and trucking Web sites, some truckers called for a strike Tuesday to protest the high cost of diesel fuel, hoping the action might pressure President Bush to stabilize prices by using the nation's oil reserves.

"The gas prices are too high," said Lamont Newberne, a trucker from Wilmington, N.C., who along with 200 drivers protested at a New Jersey Turnpike service area. "We don't make enough money to pay our bills and take care of our family."  read more.......

It's the price of profit: Oil company chiefs trek to Congress for a tongue-lashing

Auto chiefs make case to Congress

WASHINGTON -- One of the loudest critics of the auto industry didn't hesitate to draw the battle lines when it was his turn to grill the CEOs of the largest U.S. automakers.

Expanding control

Focusing on the importance of price discovery, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is asking Congress to expand its control over exempt markets, such as ICE, which operates the most successful OTC energy trading platform in the world. The request is part of Congress’ reauthorization of the CFTC as regulator of derivatives markets — a review that takes place every five years. "

Conventionally reservoired crude oil resources comprise all crude oil that is technically producible from reservoirs through a well bore using any primary, secondary, improved, enhanced, or tertiary method. Not included are liquids from mined deposits (tar sands; oil shales) or created liquids (gas-to-liquids; coal oil). Earth's endowment of conventionally reservoired crude oil is a large but finite volume. Production from it may well peak within this century. All or very nearly all of Earth's prolific petroleum basins are believed identified and most are partially to near-fully explored. All or nearly all of the largest oil fields in them have already been discovered and are being produced. Production is indeed clearly past its peak in some of the most prolific basins.

So we all want change do we? Saying we want change without qualifying what kind of change we want may just get us into a whole lot of trouble. In the news you here - "Those Damn Republicans, look what they have done to America! Let's get them out of office and vote in a Democrat." Let us take a good look at that statement -  The statement says - or implies that who ever is in control is who is making a mess of things and they need to be voted out. Well - folks - it is NOT the damn Republicans, as the media is telling you but, the Democrats! That's right. The president has no control, except for veto power, over legislation getting passed or even getting discussed or entered into discussion. It is the congress! In 2006 everyone wanted change - the media was talking all about change - we needed change! Well we got it! Problem was that no one stood up and yelled loud enough that we wanted change with a certain parameters. So if we need to get rid of the trouble makers - look no further than your nearest Democratic legislator. Get them out of office!

We were sent these interesting facts:

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.  The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a  gallon;
3) the unemployment rate  was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record  high--14,000 +
5)  American's were buying new cars, taking cruises,   vacations  overseas, living large!...


But American's wanted 'CHANGE'!  So, in 2006 they  voted in a Democratic
Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In  the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence  has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now  over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is  up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have  seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still  dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in  foreclosure.
6) as I write,  THE DOW is probing another low~~
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!


YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR  CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT!  ....


REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY  OF THESE ISSUES,  ONLY CONGRESS.

Who is Hosing US? The media - Congress ---
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We want you to really start to think here - who is really hosing us?

So you think it is the oil companies - well now is the time to start to reading and realizing just who is doing it. Then stand up, tell people you know and you want it to change - this is the American way - it is what America is based on - from the time we threw the tea into the Boston Bay till now - we are Americans !

So we hear a lot about immigration - illegals. Well, first off, it's hard to say they are immigrants when they did not immigrate, they came here illegally so, they illegal aliens plain and simple.  Nothing complex about this but since someone, allowed them stay, and it was probably not the average working class American, we are ending up paying a real big mess. Once they got here, and boy did they come in droves, they put horrendous pressure on city, town and state budgets. These illegals needed care, housing, schooling, food, etc and can you believe it - they demanded it - and believe it still they found politicians that said they deserved it. Our politicians tell us [the ones that elected them] that we have to support these illegals with all the pleasures of free hospital, medical, education, housing and food that they desire - why - just because they are here. Let's go to their country and try that why don't we? Yeah right!

Well folks let's take a good look at your tax dollars, the ones you are thinking goes to help your children, your grandparents, to help build take care our handicapped, build new bridges, roads, etc - well think again --- folks that budget is just getting a bit stretched and you never knew it. You didn't think they would tell you did you?
