Crimes suspected in 20 bailout cases — for starters.
Of course, not on CNN. CNN is too busy attacking Tea Partiers to find out how taxpayers are being defrauded through the government’s inability to properly supervise the stunning amounts of taxpayer dollars the government decided to give away without first reading the bill.
Corruption begins when we elect someone to office.
We put term limits on the presidency to avoid the corruption and ultimate power. But our founding fathers and we the people ignored the two-headed monster the parties would become. We need term limits in congress. And we need to remove anyone in office who had been there for more than 10 years. Move and vote to do so. That might just create the change we all want. Term limits from local, state to federal government. The longer they sit in office the more they look down on us. Lets put government back to our eye level and having to look us in the eyes like their employer not look down on us from the hill.
second one from the bottom of this list from a fellow patriot is just excellent on their part..& ideas..
We need to compose a list of qualities we want in our elected officials, and then rate every politician against that list. Regardless of party, regardless of race, regardless of gender, a politician whose actions are “tax and spend” should be voted out of office. That politician that respects the tax payer should be supported. The list should be limited to financially sound policies that everyone can get behind.
I will vote for anyone that will not only promise, but whose actions demonstrate financial discipline, whether they are republican or democrat. Let’s assign them tea bags – 0 tea bags for the tax and spend guy/gal and 5 tea bags for the person who best demonstrates the financial qualities we need.
we must start PRODUCING AND MANUFACTURING American products. When visiting a store, do read the labels and see what country is making our clothing, lightbulbs,etc?
we need to stop asking government and trying to make government do for us and ask what WE THE PEOPLE can do to stop this taxation and spending. Here are a few suggestions-
1. reduce your fed tax withholding
2. eliminate business with the banks that took tarp and/or bailout monies
(search the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 esp the wilipedia site)
3. follow the stimulus money and speak out against wasteful spending at your council and commission meetings
4. start a local Patriot Meetup group
5.find candidates for the next election
6. make a BIG push for the FAIR TAX ( get behind those in DC who are for it)
7 This one is hard to do but we must start buying AMERICAN MADE products.
This includes produce grown by our American farmers. Buy American or do without like the first Patriots did without their British tea - a great sacrifice for the people of that time.
any more suggestions?
Millions of OUR dollars which were “taken” from US by our government were then given to various corporations which then turned round and “lobbied” Congress. So another words - members of Congress eventually lined their pockets from money that had been taken from us, our children and our grandchildren. I WANT CONGRESS TO RETURN THE MONEY THEY TOOK FROM THE LOBBYISTS WHICH WAS TECHNICALLY MINE!!! If Congress can make AIG return the “bonus” money - I WANT CONGRESS TO RETURN MY MONEY TO WE THE PEOPLE!
AND I want a to know EXACTLY what B.O. has spent and charged to US since he has been in the White House. Last I heard he paid $5000 for a pizza, $100 a pound for steak for his various Wednesday cocktail parties!
I think the date on Em’s comment is wrong. It should read April 21, 2003.
The corruption and by passing of the senate and congress are only the tip of the iceburg. If this bill for cap and trade and energy passes, every single Amierican will see thier utility bill double and have the cost of everything you buy go up. This is the absolute worse thing that could be done during a recession, but our lawmakers live in la la land. According to the interview on Fox this morning, the bill is expected to pass. It is for all intents and purposes going to make wards of the state of all low income and fixed income people who barely make it now on what they have coming in.
What really makes my skin crawl is that ever since he said the oath of office, the occupant of the White House is doing exactly as he wants, even as he violates the Constitution and Separation of Powers….and no one in elected office with the authority and responsibility to stop is saying anything about him needing to be stopped.
I have contacted my elected officials several times since the election, asking them very respectfully if they are willing to state to me in writing that they still support and will defend the Constitution of the United States. I have not had a response from any of them, except for the form responses generated for e-mail.
Why are 100% of the Congress NOT DOING ANYTHING TO STOP HIM?
The Constitution was written to protect us from people like him. It’s not happening because those who have the authority to do something about it are not doing anything at all, except calling us names and making vague threats.
‘Things are happening in the US government that usually happens in third world countries’
and banana republics
CO2 tax, the new tea tax
Steve B
Things are happening in the US government that usually happens in third world countries - let’s get back to the roots of what our country is founded on - our forefathers are watching to see what we will do. We the people must protest what is happening.
WHY is so much of OUR money “disappearing”? WHO is lining their pockets with OUR money? We saw the various politicians take “donations” or “sweetheart deals” from various businesses they are now vilifying in an effort to save their own butts. We’re also learning about various politicians who had family members or lovers within various organizations so they could reap some of the “harvest” (we learned about Barney Frank some time ago, and today it was announced Barbara Boxer as the most recent). I have NEVER seen so much corruption in politics. B.O. said he was going to “change” everything. Well, it looks like he’s taking corruption and payoffs to new heights!
Is Obama signing legislation today to authorize brown shirts in addition to already paying ACORN members? Who is going to stop this?
Obama appoints two more Czars. He is bypassing Senate confirmation process.
When will legislatures stop him?
