			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear GOP,</p>
<p>Now that we are in the year 2010, those of us that are unhappy with the direction Congress is moving our Country are looking for change. Not the stupid, Socialist &#8220;Change That We Can Believe In&#8221; crap that President Obama is trying to ram down our throats. We are looking more for the kind of change that will make America great, once again. Over the past few weeks I have discussed with many of my friends Common Sense ideas and suggestions that we believe will help the GOP get back on track as the party of choice for Conservatives. I have been a voter that has voted Republican over 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time I voted for CONSERVATIVE Democrats. I voted for Bob Barr in the last election because John McCain is, in my opinion, a RINO. If the GOP keeps supporting less than CONSERVATIVE candidates then you will continue to be in the minority in Congress. This is a mainly CONSERVATIVE country that is tired of this over-bloated, over-taxing, over-spending and unaccountable Federal Government. Did you not see the close to 1 million pissed off Americans in DC on Sept 12th that want their country to go back to it&#8217;s conservative roots? Why are we even discussing the further expansion of the Federal Government (Obama Health care) when our Federal budget is so out of balance? What has happened to common sense? Please make the GOP more CONSERVATIVE!!!!</p>
<p>I am hoping in the 2010 election that the GOP gets together and has a strategy similar to the 1994 election with the Contract with America. There are some Common Sense issues that I believe will resonate with the majority of Americans. First let me say that right now, in my opinion, Congress is thought of as a bunch of self-serving, self-aggrandizing, contemptible, loathsome bunch of dolts. I could open the phone book and randomly select 535 persons that would do a better job. Why do I think this? If I have to explain myself then that makes my statement true. Just a few points illustrate my argument. Un-balanced budgets, Social Security, the Congressional Retirement program, you don&#8217;t read bills you vote for, and bills that are not enumerated in the Constitution just to name a few points.</p>
<p>With the previous statement being posted how about you run on several issues:</p>
<p>1.) Balance the Federal Budget</p>
<p>2.) Cut Taxes by passing the FairTax</p>

//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></div><p>3.) Get Congress off their current retirement Program</p>
<p>4.) Only Pass Bills that are Enumerated by the Constitution</p>
<p>5.) Vote on only One Bill at a Time and Read the Bills You Vote On!</p>
<p>6.) Term Limits</p>
<p>7.) No Amnesty for ILLEGAL Immigrants!</p>
<p>8.) Eliminate Earmarks/Pork/Special Spending/Whatever you call it</p>
<p>I could name a few more because there are so many things Congress does that it should NOT be doing. So, please try and use some of these suggestions because they really resonate with many people that I know that want our Country to be strong and not a fiscal liability upon our children and grand children.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This current anger at the aig executives is just a diversion.  What 200 million? Yes an outrage, but the crooks in Congress are spending 200 billion like its 20 bucks at a movie theatre.  Shouldn&#8217;t the outrage be at congress? Because thats certainly where my outrage is.  Besides this company, aig, can&#8217;t do anything without the governement (the largest stake/stockholder currently) knowing about it and approving it.  You think for one moment that the administration didn&#8217;t know about these bonuses; here&#8217;s the secret&#8230; they did. Don&#8217;t let BO&#8217;s teleprompter tell you otherwise.</p>
<p>And don&#8217;t let this scew what tea parties are all about; taking back our country from the ever increasing oppressive governemnt and the current administration.  Oh yea&#8230; get your tea party gear today, at my site below&#8230; the only place that has &#8216;Impeach Obama&#8217; shirts!</p>
