SPEAK UP OR SHUT UP

Currently there are several significant pieces of legislation working their way through the Halls of Congress. Increasingly the American voting public has been expressing their growing concerns about the staggering debt being heaped upon their backs, but the individuals we sent to Washington do not seem to be hearing the ringing of our alarm bells.

If your Representatives and Senators are not aware of your displeasure we have nobody to blame but ourselves. We, the voters, and we, the taxpayers, have been sitting silently on our haunches while our elected officials continue spending us unto unsustainable future financial obligations.

Presently historic legislation is being drawn covering Health Care, Cap and Trade, and Card Check. I suggest you demand that your Representative accept coverage in whatever Health Care Bill that is passed, and not have a special Congressional Health Care program. Also other government workers have similar insurance and they should be included in whatever is passed since you and I have been excluded from inclusion in their health care.

All three bills, as they are currently drawn (NOTE: not fully written and without the seemingly obligatory added pork) include massive future tax obligations to every citizen of our country. At the present time we are paying unheard of levels of tax to local government, state tax requirements, and the Obama administration is reversing its promise to lower taxes to over 95% of all taxpayers. The pending legislation on the three above noted issues will result in unsustainable tax requirements, and establish future financial obligations that will ultimately require increasing taxes again down the road.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. You, the voting taxpayer, must contact your Representative and Senators; tell them your position. If you want your elected official to vote NO then tell them that emphatically. They must be told that if they continue to vote against your interests then you will vote them out of office.

Your Commander has repeatedly sent letters and emails to his Congressional Representative and both Senators urging them to vote NO on Health Care Reform the way it seems to stand now, Cap and Trade, and Card Check. Check your local newspaper for your representative’s office address, email address, and/or telephone number.

The truth of the matter is that I cannot tell you how to vote, although I do have a position, but it is absolutely vital that you express your position firmly by participating in the process. Our elected officials are not operating in our collective best interest, but in their own self-interest. If they realize they may not get re-elected then they may respond accordingly. If your requests are ignored, vote them out of office.

Millions of people around the world would be willing to die to get the opportunity we have to vote. We have that solemn right, but we must now fight to protect and preserve this precious opportunity. It is time to stop complaining and get off our backsides to make our position well known in Washington.

EXPRESS YOUR POSITION NOW OR KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT WHEN WE LOSE OUR LIBERTY AND PRECIOUS AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.
