GLENN BECK: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona.
She writes an open letter to our nation's leadership: I'm 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 the Democratic 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. 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 horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my 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 isn't to be confused with legal immigration.
Two: the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it.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 I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed.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 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 is more to say.
Five: universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!
Six: growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real 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. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with 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. 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? Why—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. 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 try—please stop manipulating and trying to 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. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians 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'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 such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending. 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 you to bring our concerns to Washington.
Our president often knows all the right buzzword is 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 up at you.
You have awakened us, the patriotic 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 cancelled 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 when he 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. Are we coming for you?
Who do you represent?
What do you represent?
Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

AARP jumping in bed with Obamas HealthPlan
I am so damn mad I can't even think straight.. I heard yesterday on the news where the AARP was putting all their support into Obamas HealthPlan; Lock, Stock and Barrel.. Today my AARP NewsLetter arrived and confirmed what I had heard.
I am going to Copy & Paste my letter to them and their reply to me here in my blog for anyone to read.
After reading their reply, what I got out of it is they are going to do whatever they want, if I don't like it I can cancel my subscription so I don't have to read about it. Another example of organizations that started out with good intentions but have gotten to big and corrupt within themselves.
MY LETTER TO AARP: 7/30/09
I myself being a Senior Citizen find that I am totally fed up with AARP and their personal views on politics and then using that idea as if it comes from the membership.
I cancelled my membership a few years ago for that exact reason, then it was about Gun Control... Recently I was starting to get weak in the head and thinking about joining again but Thank God you pulled this latest shenanigan and I won't have to go thru it again.
When I heard yesterday that the AARP had put their weight into Obamas healthplan I kind of thought I heard it wrong but thanks for setting it straight. I am from a rural town in MT. and have talked with a lot of people, Seniors and the younger crowd and I fail to find ONE person in support of this healthplan...
You people are all on the verge of throwing this Great Country into medieval times once again. I just want you to know that I will be active in getting as many Seniors to turn against you as I can.Your personal politics & gains have no business in a organization supposedly setup for improving our life style.

WHAT R WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??
Our Country was founded around God & the teachings of Jesus, We have always been taught that a marriage took place between 1 man & 1 woman.. Not 2 women, 2 men or 1 human & 1 animal, We give life not take it, the only exceptions would be in a time of war or the death penalty for major heinous crimes against humanity.
Our Country has a Constitution and The Declaration of Independence, it is cast in stone. None of it is to be altered whenever a new President chooses or some wacked out Special Interest groups want to...
Why the Hell are we voting for and getting these far left radicals appointed to important or high security positions??
People, Wake Up!!
Radical special interest groups, Political Correctness, Open Borders, Multiple Language, Giving God the Heave Ho, Government take-overs, Debt that can never be paid, all of this just for starters!
PEOPLE, WAKE UP!!!!! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??? 2010, 2012 JUST MIGHT BE TO LATE

Mad!.......Mad!..............Mad as Hell!!!!
What gives? What does the Majority want for our Country? What Direction do You want to see us go?
Does the Majority want to live in a Socialistic Governed Country? God I don't, I don't want my kids, their kids and all future generations have to live with the mess we are making out of Democracy.
I keep hearing that the Conservatives outnumber the Liberals. What Gives? How come they get their way and we get the shaft???
If we don't do something and pretty damn quick, we will have fallen into what Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy and other radical liberals have planned for us. This didn't all come about overnite but in recent months things are moving so fast that soon we will be past any chance to save our way of life.
Be On Notice! Federal Bail Outs, Government Control over Corporations, Printing Mass amounts of currency with no collateral, Forever borrowing from China, leaning away & being rude to our allies, kissing up to rogue terrorist states, Pushing for a Federal Health Plan that will destroy our Economy forever, Failure to Secure our Borders against Aliens that would hurt us, A Plan to give Social Security monies & Free Health Care to Illegal Aliens, Cutting the Defense Budget, Cutting back on our Weapons that protect our Country, Demoralizing our Military ..... DON'T YOU SEE WHERE WE ARE GOING????????
What the Hell are we going to do about it???
While these plans are all being implemented our personal taxs will increase, at a minimum $3000 a year! That is probably way under estimated, it could go to $5000, $7000 more than we are being taxed now. Okay if you are one that lives on $11,000 to $20,000 a year, just subtract this new tax amount out of your income... Think you will live on that? NOT HARDLY!
So!! What the Hell are we going to do about it?? We better be coming up with some answers quick because I am not sure we can wait until 2010, 2012 elections...
You better believe, This is a Crisis!! and The Radical Lefty Liberal is the Problem.
ObamaHealthCare,,, Sure sounds sweet if you don't already have Health Insurance, I know some people and you do to, that have never had Health Insurance of their own, They have always relied on Public Assistance and if it was neccessary that is okay.. But you get the majority on such health plans and you will have grave consequences:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9S7P1uvh44
Following Information taken from HumanEvents.com
Obama describes his health care scheme with the usual pie-in-the-sky rhetoric, claiming - with fingers crossed behind his back - that his approach will heal the sick, miraculously reduce costs, and resurrect a moribund health system.
Obama has already told you that if you want to keep your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor and if you want to keep your present health plan, you'll be able to keep your present health plan. Specifically,
Obama said: "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away."
But Obama can't keep that promise and he knows it.
Jim Lindgren writing for the Internet blog the Volokh Conspiracy: "But if the Obama plan is enacted, a substantial portion of employers will cut their health subsidies - raising their employees' share of contributions to the company plan - in order to drive some of the employees into the government exchange and the public option.
Other employers may drop their plans altogether - after all, workers could buy their own coverage in the government exchange - or simply fund part of their workers' participation in the exchange. These changes, which would be the direct results of the implementation of the Obama plan, would make it virtually impossible for Obama to keep these promises...."
But will keeping your doctor or your health care provider really matter when government bureaucrats start calling the shots and telling your doctor and provider exactly what they can and cannot do... what they are allowed to treat... what they're allowed to pay.
Make no mistake, Obama's takeover of health care will be nothing more than a raw power grab, more cutting than his takeover of the banks and the automobile industry. Its goal will not be to improve health care but, to reward political allies - and punish people like you.
You can stop him by letting the Congressional leadership know - right now... today - that there will be a political price to pay if they allow the world's best health care system turn into a medical wasteland.
Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Fax messages to Barack Obama and each and every Member of the Republican and Democrat leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.
Tell them to reject any temptation to compromise or fix the Obama-Care proposals that will be thrust upon them.
Tell them that the only option is to reject the Obama plan outright. No compromises... no fixes... tell our elected leaders to just say no and when it comes to health care, to go back to the drawing board.

Let's examine the real repercussions of health care rationing?
Think of it this way, to Obama (and other Statists), people represent health costs. The fewer people, the lower the costs.
Are we saying that Obama will target the elderly, the handicapped and the unborn to reduce costs?
Consider Obama's own words remarks as reprinted in the Washington Times and make that call yourself. "Part of what I think government can do effectively is to be an honest broker in assessing and evaluating treatment options."
Obama also said: "The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill...." Regarding those in the last phases of life, Obama specifically says: "There is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists.
And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels."
Obama's top health advisers have emphasized that America should value the lives of young, healthy people more than those of old, sick individuals.
One such adviser is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of Obama's chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel. Kevin Williamson of National Review Online describes Dr. Emanuel's views: "He wrote in The Lancet in 2008: 'Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination.' We all were young once, the argument goes, and so denying the elderly and weak in order to care for the young and fit is just."
Just what do you think Obama's talking about here?
Trust me, these are scary times and if you're over the age of 55, be very scared.
If you're chronically ill with diabetes or high blood pressure or multiple sclerosis - or dying with heart disease or cancer - your future doesn't look very bright.
Would Obama empower the federal government and bureaucratic pencil-pushers to decide exactly when your presence on earth is no longer feasible, viable or sustainable?
Do we really want to find out the answer the hard way?
And if you're really sick, what are the chances that you might die in line, waiting for treatment that simply does not come in time?
Dr. Gratzer tells us what's going on in Canada: "I trained in emergency rooms that were chronically, chaotically, dangerously overcrowded... all across Canada.
I met a middle-aged man with sleep problems who was booked for an appointment with a specialist three years later; a man with pain... who was referred to a pain clinic with a two-year wait list; a woman with breast cancer who was asked to wait for four months before starting the life-saving radiation therapy." When you consider the evils of health care rationing, consider the following.
Addressing the AMA, Obama implied that costs were rising because patients were getting unneeded care. In fact, the opposite is true.
A 2003 survey by the Rand Corporation found that only 11% of patients got treatments they didn't need - while a whopping 46% failed to receive needed care. And strangely, there's tremendous irony in Obama's mindless drive toward a government-run system.
In Great Britain, France, Germany - and even Canada - there's a growing push to get people back into private insurance systems, taking the pressure off public facilities and doctors.
It's a move toward - you guessed it - government cost savings.
It's time to tell Congress - loudly and clearly - that falling off a cliff is hazardous to our health, as individuals and as a nation.
Obama claims that his health plan won't involve rationing or reduced care.
But that's ridiculous, because all government-run health systems suffer from those drawbacks.
For a real-world, practical example, we only need look at the Canadian system.
Dr. David Gratzer, a Canadian-trained physician who practices in the United States, describes his own revelation about Canada's medical horror show:
"On [my way to medical school class]... I cut through a hospital emergency room and came upon dozens of people on stretchers - waiting, moaning, begging for treatment. Some elderly patients had waited up to five days in corridors before being admitted to beds. They smelled of urine and sweat. As I navigated past the bodies, I began to question everything I thought I knew about health care - not only in Canada, but also in the United States. ...
I had begun a journey into the heart of one of the great policy disasters of modern times." Is the situation really any better in Europe - should we, for instance, emulate the French?
Consider a French journalist's words at the Heritage Foundation: "The majority of France's state-owned hospitals are managed in a way that is reminiscent of the old U.S.S.R. ... In the average French public hospital, it is not uncommon for every window to be open, even in winter, because the heating system in the building cannot be regulated. With the only options being no heat or unbearably high heat, everyone opts for the latter. Predictably, this is not very cheap."
What about Germany? The British medical journal Lancet states: "The German health care system is facing bankruptcy on an unprecedented scale."
In Great Britain, one current cost-saving measure is the denial of essential medications to women in advanced stages of certain cancers.
And yet, on June 15, Barack Obama told the American Medical Association (AMA) that other developed countries - he meant nations like Canada, Germany, France, and Britain - pay much less per capita for health care than Americans.
Tell us something we don't know... you also get exactly what you pay for.
So why does Obama want to bring millions of people into the system literally overnight?
What happens when there are suddenly many more patients than there are practitioners to care for them?
Will the health care system start to follow the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) model... where you take-a-number.... and wait... and then wait some more?
What gives? What does the Majority want for our Country? What Direction do You want to see us go?
Does the Majority want to live in a Socialistic Governed Country? God I don't, I don't want my kids, their kids and all future generations have to live with the mess we are making out of Democracy.
I keep hearing that the Conservatives outnumber the Liberals. What Gives? How come they get their way and we get the shaft???
If we don't do something and pretty damn quick, we will have fallen into what Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy and other radical liberals have planned for us. This didn't all come about overnite but in recent months things are moving so fast that soon we will be past any chance to save our way of life.

Would Obama empower the federal government and bureaucratic pencil-pushers to decide exactly when your presence on earth is no longer feasible, viable or sustainable?
Do we really want to find out the answer the hard way?
And if you're really sick, what are the chances that you might die in line, waiting for treatment that simply does not come in time?
Dr. Gratzer tells us what's going on in Canada: "I trained in emergency rooms that were chronically, chaotically, dangerously overcrowded... all across Canada.
I met a middle-aged man with sleep problems who was booked for an appointment with a specialist three years later; a man with pain... who was referred to a pain clinic with a two-year wait list; a woman with breast cancer who was asked to wait for four months before starting the life-saving radiation therapy." When you consider the evils of health care rationing, consider the following.
Addressing the AMA, Obama implied that costs were rising because patients were getting unneeded care. In fact, the opposite is true.
A 2003 survey by the Rand Corporation found that only 11% of patients got treatments they didn't need - while a whopping 46% failed to receive needed care. And strangely, there's tremendous irony in Obama's mindless drive toward a government-run system.
In Great Britain, France, Germany - and even Canada - there's a growing push to get people back into private insurance systems, taking the pressure off public facilities and doctors.
It's a move toward - you guessed it - government cost savings.
It's time to tell Congress - loudly and clearly - that falling off a cliff is hazardous to our health, as individuals and as a nation.
Obama claims that his health plan won't involve rationing or reduced care.
But that's ridiculous, because all government-run health systems suffer from those drawbacks.
For a real-world, practical example, we only need look at the Canadian system.
Dr. David Gratzer, a Canadian-trained physician who practices in the United States, describes his own revelation about Canada's medical horror show:
"On [my way to medical school class]... I cut through a hospital emergency room and came upon dozens of people on stretchers - waiting, moaning, begging for treatment. Some elderly patients had waited up to five days in corridors before being admitted to beds. They smelled of urine and sweat. As I navigated past the bodies, I began to question everything I thought I knew about health care - not only in Canada, but also in the United States. ...
I had begun a journey into the heart of one of the great policy disasters of modern times." Is the situation really any better in Europe - should we, for instance, emulate the French?
Consider a French journalist's words at the Heritage Foundation: "The majority of France's state-owned hospitals are managed in a way that is reminiscent of the old U.S.S.R. ... In the average French public hospital, it is not uncommon for every window to be open, even in winter, because the heating system in the building cannot be regulated. With the only options being no heat or unbearably high heat, everyone opts for the latter. Predictably, this is not very cheap."
What about Germany? The British medical journal Lancet states: "The German health care system is facing bankruptcy on an unprecedented scale."
In Great Britain, one current cost-saving measure is the denial of essential medications to women in advanced stages of certain cancers.
And yet, on June 15, Barack Obama told the American Medical Association (AMA) that other developed countries - he meant nations like Canada, Germany, France, and Britain - pay much less per capita for health care than Americans.
Tell us something we don't know... you also get exactly what you pay for.
So why does Obama want to bring millions of people into the system literally overnight?
What happens when there are suddenly many more patients than there are practitioners to care for them?
Will the health care system start to follow the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) model... where you take-a-number.... and wait... and then wait some more?

Keeping up with the Pace
Geezo, I turned the TV on the news this morning and 45 minutes went by before I had to hear all about Jacko again. Cripes, it's totally maddening the way our media has gone..
This Independence Day weekend in this small Montana Community has been just fantastic. We were lucky enough to have the 204th Army Band here. They are the greatest. God Bless everyone in our Armed Forces and their families.
Sarah Palin, ????? I am at a loss for words, I really hope and pray all is for the betterment of your family. I have and will continue to support you.
Steve McNair, ????? Strange & Saddening News, All thoughts of Comfort go to his family and friends.
BHO, NoBama, The Media's "Love Child" or some Damn thing. Myself, I think you are probably the biggest Traitor this Country has ever had. I have NO forgiveness for Traitors. How blinded was this Country last year, How could it be possible for someone that hates the USA as bad as Obama, his wife and the goones he hangs with does and still get elected President to the most Powerfull Country in the World?
IMPEACH! Hell!, He should be Imprisoned also..... He is against our God, He is against our Constitution, He is against The Declaration of Independence, He is against our Way of Life, He is against our Friends but he is leaning toward our enemies.
Could he have been Elected without the use of his own Acorn group? I THINK NOT!! We the People have to start making the necessary Corrections in 2010 & 2012... I pray it won't be to late..
