Washington, D.C. - Who Do They Really Serve?

For many decades, America has been on a steady decline. Starting out, it was quietly happening step by step until the point we are at now where it's becoming blatantly obvious. In the past two years, we have seen bill after bill and policy after policy come out of Washington that the vast majority of America disapproves of. The bailouts, the stimulus bills, Cap & Trade, and Obamacare, just to name a few, are simply designed to give more power to the government at our own expense. Outside of D.C., other policies and treaties are giving more and more control of America to outsiders. If none of this gets you angry, you are not understanding or simply not paying attention.

We the People created this government to serve and protect OUR rights, OUR borders, OUR freedoms. Today, we see them doing more for the banks than for the people. America is broke and in trillions of dollars of debt, yet Washington continues to ignore our demands to stop spending our money. They are essentially using a limit-less credit card to benefit a select few then taking payments straight out of OUR checks. With increasing amounts of taxes being taken from Americans, it is still not enough to even put a dent in the out-of-control spending coming from Washington.

If we are paying for bailouts of banks, giving money to special interest groups, and our representatives are ignoring our demands, this is a textbook example of taxation without representation. Sure we may have the appearance of representation, but its becoming blatantly obvious that these career politicians are not there to serve We the People. They are serving the bankers, Wall Street, and some other invisible empire. Their allegiance is not to us and to our Constitution. Their allegiance is to globalist organizations and the bankers that fund them. They fear these groups so much that they forget they should fear the American taxpayer payer even more.

Recently, the International Monetary Fund decided they were going to bail out Greece. Well, guess who just happens to be the largest payer into the IMF... America! So while Greece is running its country into the ground, us working Americans have to pay 17% of the cost to rescue them. Another recent development is the UN Small Arms Treaty that our Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton agreed to. If you visit the UN's website, they have an entire page dedicated to this called United Nations Office for DISARMAMENT Affairs. They are openly saying they want to disarm the people! Why is the government ignoring our Constitution and our People and obeying these globalist groups? Why is Obama the chair of the U.N. Security Council?

The United Nations, the Council of Foreign Relations, and Trilateral are headquartered in New York City. The International Monetary Fund is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Past and present Treasury Secretaries as well as Federal Reserve Chairmen and members have mostly been members of IMF and/or CFR. Past and present Presidents, Vice Presidents, State Secretaries, Defense Secretaries, CIA and FBI directors, Intelligence directors, Supreme Court Justices, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other positions have been constantly filled by members of CFR, IMF, Trilateral, and Bilderberg. The list of government officials part of these groups go on and on. Why are they in America and why do they influence our politicians so much?

When Washington is flat out ignoring the people like they are today, one must question who they are truly working for. It would be safe to say they are not working for you and me. We need to make a change to this. We need to get these groups out of our sovereign nation and out of our daily lives. Too often, our only 2 choices at the ballot box are both members of these groups. They pretend to be different and beg for our votes, but their allegiance is elsewhere. Behind closed doors, they are best friends who are doing the bidding of their globalist groups.

Our votes need to go to people that will put the Constitution and the People above the many globalist groups. If our government is overrun with people from these groups, how can we expect them to work for us? There is enough of them in control these days that they openly ignore us and openly do what they feel is necessary to advance their agenda. Our President and leaders should follow their oath to the Constitution, not the U.N. or CFR. The only way to truly know a candidate won't put the interests of these groups above America and her people is to vote for those who are not part of these groups. Research your candidates, vote in the primaries to get true patriots on the November ballots, and educate others to do the same. Remove the career politicians who have been in Washington long enough to become corrupt and replace them with liberty lovers that can't be bought out. We must stop allowing America to be taken over by some invisible empire, before it's too late.

Sit Back or Stand Up: What Course Will You Take?



For many years, America has been slipping away from its founding principles. We have slowly lost freedoms and quietly exchanged life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the illusion of safety and protection. Through all of this, we are becoming a nanny state. The government has increasingly stepped into our daily lives. From the healthcare bill to Cap and Trade, the continued bailouts, and everything in between, D.C. is slowly taking complete control. How is it that 545 millionaires, lawyers, judges, and career politicians know how to run our lives better than we do? These politicians are voted in to represent the people, not their party. They are there to guide, not control. It's time we wake up and realize that 'We the People' are in control.


During the Revolution, we were fighting off tyranny from an enemy across the ocean. Today, the tyrannical enemy is coming from within, straight from Washington, D.C. Trillions of tax dollars are being used to bail out banks, take over the auto industry, socialize our healthcare system, and carry the burden of the increasing amounts of non-tax-paying illegal immigrants. The government is running our country into massive debts and making us foot the bill through increased taxation. Add on top of all that the numerous unconstitutional bills being passed and terrible decisions being made, today's government is rekindling the flame of Liberty that first burned rampant in the late 1700’s. We the People are demanding that we restore America back to what she once was - a place of Freedom and Liberty.


We the People must not stand for this tyranny and government control. Our Founding Fathers took a stand and the rest is history. Today, we 'Freedom Fighters' must take our stand. We must vote the traitors out and restore liberty. The future of our homeland is in our hands. We must put the federal government in their place, repeal unconstitutional laws, and force them to do what the Constitution requires them to do - protect our borders and protect the life, liberty, property, and rights of We the People.


The upcoming 2010 elections will decide our future. We must vote for true patriots that are concerned about their country and the people. We can no longer continue to vote for the career politicians who are concerned about their party, lobbyists, and money. Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well, the government is nothing less than insane if they think more of the same will get us out of the problems we face today. It's time for real change in government.


The following years are undoubtedly important to America. If we sit back and do nothing, how will we be remembered? Thomas Jefferson said that all tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.Patrick Henry understood this and chose not to remain silent, persuading Virginia to join him in the Revolution on March 23, 1775, ending his speech with the famous quote, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." Today, freedom fighter Jenny Hodges has a new philosophy: 'Give me liberty, or I'll give you hell.'


We can sit back and watch America be destroyed from within, or we can stand up, speak out, and take our country back. What course will you take?

I burned a flag today

An old flag blew into my friends yard. We caught it, and followed proper flag disposal procedures.

My friend (a public servant himself), noted that even if we hadn't followed the ceremony correctly, we'd still be treating our Stars and Stripes better than the government is.

Its not about an R or D next to your name, what platform you "should" follow. Its about being an American and not letting your government take control of your life.

Government Motors, ObamaCare, bailouts (aka handouts), and numerous other violations leave me stupefied. I forgot to mention my personal favorite, bailing out other countries as we're drowning!

When will America wake up? When will the sheep realize whats happening? Has no one seen V for Vendetta? or modern day Europe?

Some say America has only bastardized its culture from other cultures. I wouldn't call it bastardize. I'd say we took the best of each person who brings something valuable to the table and it became American. We are a unique culture. A free people, at one time, the freest to ever walk the Earth.

How free do you feel now?

RNC Chair Calls Obama Plan Socialism

http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/health-care/1468


I guess they can't play the race card on this one!

Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, spoke on July 20 at the National Press Club. AP reported the same day that when Steele was asked if President Barack Obama’s plan for healthcare reform represented socialism, Steele answered: “Yes. Next question.”

Steele didn’t pull any punches as he verbally worked over President Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), and Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee Henry Waxman (D-Calif.). “Obama-Pelosi want to start building a colossal, closed health care system where Washington decides,” Steele said. “Republicans want and support an open health care system where patients and doctors make the decisions.” He added that “many Democrats outside of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid-Waxman cabal know that voters won't stand for these kinds of foolish prescriptions for our health care. We do too. That's why Republicans will stop at nothing to remind voters about the risky experimentation going on in Washington.”

In order to reinforce Steele’s theme of government experimentation with taxpayer money, the Republican Party will sponsor a television ad opposing government-run healthcare. The 30-second spot is called “Grand Experiment” and will start running on July 20 in select markets in Arkansas, Nevada and North Dakota.

While the video can be seen directly below this paragraph, factual information supporting the ad can be found at the GOP website. The Congressional Budget Office, various news sources, and industry experts are all quoted there, making the case against Obama’s reform plans much more compelling than the TV ad alone. Also related is a separate GOP website about “The Obama Experiment,” which currently features the TV ad and what looks to be a transcript of Steele’s remarks at the National Press Club. The site is worth a visit.

President Barack Obama slaps back at health care critics at hospital

WASHINGTON - President Obama opened fire at "political" opponents of health care reform Monday, ripping a Republican senator who predicted the commander in chief is facing his "Waterloo."

Speaking to conservatives late last week, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) declared if conservatives can stall until Congress goes on vacation for most of August, health care reform - and Obama - will be dead in the water.

"If we're able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo," DeMint said. "It will break him."

Obama recycled that line Monday at a Washington children's hospital, holding it up as an example of opponents putting partisanship before public health.

"This isn't about me. This isn't about politics," Obama said. "This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses and breaking America's economy."

Republicans say the health care proposals working through Congress will raise taxes on small businesses, kill jobs and create a government-run, rationed medical system.

Obama argues exactly the opposite and claims the system is already rationing care, killing jobs and hurting business.

"Over the past decade, premiums have doubled in America; out-of-pocket costs have shot up by a third; deductibles have continued to climb," he said, adding that it's "special interests" like insurance companies and executives that "have reaped windfall profits."

The escalating rhetoric came as an ABC News/Washington Post poll found the country getting worried about health reform, with just 49% trusting Obama on the issue. That's down from an earlier high of 57%.

Obama himself remains popular, with a 59% approval rating.

But Republicans smell blood in the health care waters, and DeMint was quick to fire back at Obama, linking his health care push to the economic stimulus, which is becoming less and less popular.

"The last time the President made grand promises and demanded passage of a bill before it could be reviewed, we ended up with the colossal stimulus failure and unemployment near 10%," DeMint said.

"Now the President wants Americans to trust him again, but he can't back up the utopian promises he's making," DeMint added, contending the GOP just wants to go slow to get it right.

"There is no one in this debate advocating that we do nothing despite the President's constant straw man arguments," he said.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele echoed DeMint, but declined to say if there was a moral component to covering 46 million uninsured Americans, suggesting it is about politics.

"I don't know if that's a consideration for politicians, versus a pastor," Steele said. "What I do know is that it is important and imperative that the politicians, the political leadership, get it right."

The House of Representatives has released its version of the plan, but the Senate has only done half of its - with the half that pays for reform still on the operating table of the Senate Finance Committee.

With time running short, the White House has softened its position that health care must be done before Congress goes on vacation next month.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said it can still get done by then, and Obama put some teeth in that. "We can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care," he said. "Not this time. Not now."

Conservatives Disappointed over Sotomayer Answers about 2nd amendment

How did she strike out?

First, Judge Sotomayor ruled in United States v. Sanchez-Villar (2004) that “the right to possess a gun is clearly NOT a fundamental right.”

Second, this year, Sotomayor was part of a three-judge panel which ruled in Maloney v. Cuomo that the Second Amendment does NOT apply to the states.

But finally, Judge Sotomayor struck out as qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice when she was asked by Senator Tom Coburn if there was a right to self-defense.

Judge Sotomayor said that was an “abstract question.” Sotomayor would NOT answer directly, although when pressed, she equated self-defense with vigilantism!

It is completely unacceptable for the Senate to confirm a judge to the U.S. Supreme Court who does not believe in the rights that are EXPLICITLY stated in the Bill of Rights?

Why are there 500,000 coffins by an airport in Georgia? #news







There are 500,000 coffins stacked outside of a airport in Georgia, and word on the street is, they are all over the country.

This may be old news to some of you, but I've been aware of this for about a year. Actually, a little over a year now. There are 500,000 "polyguard vaults" ordered by DHS and FEMA, sitting not too far from CDC HQ in Atlanta. Also, closely in relation to an airport and major interstates.

Sounds a little convinient if you ask me. What do you think? Share your thoughts on twitter or in the comments below. All intelligent views enjoyed!

GPS co-ordinates 40 feet from every American door via Census by ACORN

Why is it this year, for the first time in history, the Census is being run by the White House Chief of Staff? Sounds a little fishy, doesn't it?

Even moreso is the fact that Nobama, ACORN, Rahm, and ole Robert Groves want to have GPS coordinate 40 feet from your door

Now, flashback, that this administration already thinks those who own guns, Bibles, or vote Republican should be cautioned as "extremists".

GPS painting, people. Look it up, wake up, and read. Next blog post may shock you, 500,000 times more than you may expect.

We The People

Sorry that it’s been a few days without posting anything, but I’ve been working and I finally have a day off and some free time, so I will be posting a few things throughout today, so keep up with us for today. It’s just pent up anger and nothing to do today to stop me from writing about it. Before I get to the things I planned to talk about, I wanted to talk about something a writer said in an article that I stumbled across. He said that he agreed with Ray McBerry on a lot of issues, but says he would never win. Well, that is how we have people like Obama, Congress, Purdue, and Governors all around the country in office. We never vote for the person that we agree with, we vote for who we think everyone else will vote for.

I have been seeing and hearing more and more people claim “I like him, but he would never win”. People need to stop voting for who we think will win and start voting for those that believe in the same values as we do. If we all stop saying “he won’t ever win” and say “I’m voting for what I believe in”, then we will quickly see Oxendine’s numbers drop while McBerry’s increase. We control our future. We can sit back and do nothing, or we can kick out these career politicians and get real people into our government. How can it be WE THE PEOPLE, if WE aren’t in there? It’s more like WE THE POLITICIANS, and it’s only more fuel to the fire for a new Revolution. Vote for liberty. Vote for freedom. Vote for values.

And if you’re reading this thinking we just need a different party, well look where that got America in a matter of months. We won’t ever “CHANGE” anything by voting a different party. The parties are not our parties anymore. They do not represent us anymore. We can change that by voting for new candidates who know what it’s like to be in the everyday position. Vote for candidates who know what the recession really feels like and is affected by unconstitutional bills, such as these bailouts and Cap-and-Trade. What do these career politicians with their hundreds of thousands (and sometimes millions) of dollars know what it’s really like to suffer through this economy.

Obama was not Change. McCain was not Change. For the fellow Georgians reading, Purdue was not Change. Oxendine is not Change. Handel is not Change. If you want Change, wipe the slate clean. Do not vote for any incumbents. Nominate new candidates that know our struggles and know what WE THE PEOPLE want. Obama, McCain, Purdue, Oxendine, and Handel… they are no longer part of the majority. Americans – Take back your Country. Georgians – Take back your State! In 2010, wipe the slate clean. Research the candidates and read into their issues and values. New party nominees in July 2010, and then vote them in less than 4 months later on November 2, 2010. Vote for Georgia First with Ray McBerry in 2010. Do not vote for any incumbent congressmen, senators, or governors that no longer represent WE THE PEOPLE.

If you want this Country to change, remove the incumbents and stay away from the career politicians. If you want this State to change, vote Ray McBerry and put Georgia First.

You decide who is for the people and who is for themselves.

John Oxendine has held public office since 1994 and has run FOUR statewide campaigns but he has yet to bring any kind of “Change” to the People of Georgia.

Oxendine – WE THE POLITICIANS

“Our day requires a governor who will dare to defy the federal bureaucrats and say plainly, “Get the hell out of our business; and leave my people alone.” No other candidate for governor will take this stand… I will.”

Ray McBerry – WE THE PEOPLE

Your security is not worth the loss of liberty.

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" - Ben Franklin (not Thomas Jefferson, who clearly stated it was Ben who made the quote originally)

As "liberalism" becomes the latest fad, more and more folks are looking to the government for unemployment, welfare, and protection from tyranny. We need to realize that unemployment and the need for welfare are at the fault of the government. We also need to realize that tyranny is at our door.

This is how it begins. Germany. Russia. China. There becomes an "unknown enemy". Can anyone show me an Al-Qaeda uniform? . Then its disarming us for our own safety. Who seriously considers the fact that a criminal who possesses a firearm will think about gun control laws when he commits a crime? Yeah, he will kick in the door with a smile, knowing that an honest citizen is unarmed inside.

Aside from criminals, the 2nd amendment wasn't designed for hunting or crime stopping. It was designed to stop oppression. The people armed are a people free of tyranny.

“Arms in the hands of individual citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self-defense.”
John Adams



Those who think that allowing the government to control ever aspect of your lives, remember this:

"A government big enough to supply you with everything you need, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have...."

While most think this was attributed to Jefferson, it's actually former President Gerald R. Ford who made this statement in 1974 before Congress

Iranian's fight like I wish AMERICANS would!

People in this world are standing up against oppression.

People in this world are using their rights as free (or who want to be free) people.

People in this world are telling their leaders they're tired of the way things are going.

Sadly, these people are not in the United States.

Across the globe, people are uniting behind the people of Iran, while they are working to to drive the "CHANGE" they desire. They didn't "HOPE", they "TOOK ACTION".

Why don't we? When will we say we've had enough? Who draws the line in the sand?

These are questions I pose to all of you, each of you who read, tweet, write, blog, et cetera.

When do these end, and holding our leaders accountable begin?

If only the people cared for the US as much as MJ

Google shows almost 250,000 news articles for "Michael Jackson" in the past week

However, a news article query for "tea party" shows about 2,500.

This is shameful, and it disgusts me.

Not that he is (read: was) a pedophile, preying on children or parents (who are worthless for pimping out their children, but that's another rant). Not that he is simply an entertainer, the "King of Pop" as they called him.

The sheer fact that the people are "crying in the streets" and the mass media is giving this play by play coverage is what sickens me. Literally, it turns my stomach.

The death of a celebrity versus the coverage of Americans trying to take back their liberty and freedom from a government trying to oppress them should be uncontested. In the grand scheme of things, who gives a damn? Not I. I could care less.

I'll wake up the same regardless of MJ being alive or dead. However, whether or not my country is alive or dead certainly impacts my life. As a matter of fact, its my life; and yours; and your children's.

We'll let Cap & Trade pass. We'll allow B. Hussein to use his oratory skills to woo the sheeple of this country. We'll let a dict actor fire missiles on our day of Independence.

When will we stop? When will we open our eyes, AMERICA? Tell someone, hell, tell everyone to wake up. The dream is real.

We're the catalyst of whats going on -- but alas, we are the catalyst of change. We are the true policymakers, patriots, and citizens.

Stand up for your rights, stand up for your states rights. Stand up for your fellow man without handing him a welfare check.
