Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 6/1 This Morning GM Filed For Chapter 11 Protection

Mon, 1 Jun 2009 12:40:29 +0000

I see a major issue here with the restructure the bionic company with the gov't and the UAW as the main sholderholders of the experiement. All of the bondholders and other investors getting pwned by will likely set the tone for all other companies and industries. I see investors drying up their troughs and getting out of the market all together. I mean look these people can't handle the stress of a reccession well. How do you think they'll manage constantly getting hosed in their investments. Add to the exodus of investors out of Wall Street to the list of what Glenn Beck and company is seeing as the short recovery and the Inevitable "throught the fllor" depression to happen, we're in for a world of hurt. Pun intended and unintended. We need ot be careful. The 2010 elections will set the precedent of our salvation or damnation!!!!!!

We can only hope. The UAW, and unions like them, are only part of the problem.

This is why I beleive this could very well be the death throws of both Chrysler and GM. I see both going the wayside as Plymouth and Oldsmobile. If President Messiah didn't screw with this bankruptcy, then these two companies may have came out strong and ready to compete.

Yet another way to for America to be competative is to boycott Us based corp.'s who move their production overseas. I understand that companies need to make profits and find places that don't punish prosperity ver attractive. If they find our levels of gov't beating like red-headed stepchild, then they need to stand against the oppressors. I guarantee there will be alot of our fellow Americans supporting that effort to ensure a level playing field for competativeness. The companies to make the first move and ask for support from all of us citizens. Everyone has the right to advantage to the opppertunity this nation stands for. What we do with it is up to us. I can come up with other examples, but we know no amount of chit-chat will substitute for action.

One way for the US to be more competative globally is to more productive here stateside. We need to be proud to be Americans and be proud to soppurt the quality and pride of the our fellow American workers. Another way to be competative is to create a situtaion where other nations we import and export play fairly. As an example, look at Japan. The Japanese Yen is purposely devalued against the US Dollar. This gives Japanese based products have a overt advantage when selling their products at and abroad.

I agree with us Amercians need to change our mindset and support our industrial might. With people saying we consumers need to spend to get our economy going when we have a diminished production base is teetering on lunacy. I make effort to buy as many "Made in USA" products as possible. It's very difficult. One industry I see an abundance of USA products are in the chemical industry.

Hopefully, we need to take care of ourselves before we decide to take on the world's problems. We need to learn a hard lesson about relying on other countries, especially potential enemies.

How about this site www.americanliberalism.org . I bumped into this site will doing a paper for one of my college assignments. The mindset of these individuals is something headscratcher. I believe any reaching out to most, if not all, who are a part of that site won't be fruitful. That site probably follows suite with these other sites stated in this response. Maybe just more evidence of how close-minded and misguided people can be.

Here is the rest............. For any consideration to be successful, one aspect needs to addressed. Lobbyists needed to know their place. No exceptions what so ever. If they want consideration, they need to bring infront of congress for all citizens to have access of they are wanting. I compare this to how GE is getting and will continue to get preferrential treatment over other companies. Big businesses have their place in our capitalist, constitutional republic. Their place has no where in the political arena. Ex. If there is a major project with co-operation between companies (same industry or all considered), then a partnership with all companies involved and the gov't can be a good thing. believe there should be a co-operation between private and public interests. Thin line it may be, but we need experts in each field to be protected by those who are elected. Either way, it's the responsibliity of us American citizens to ensure there is no favortism and our constitutional rights are protected.

Here's an interesting idea which needs constructive thought. It may not work as is, but may lead to some kind of novel idea. Sales taxes are needed, but to have to obligate continual "renting" every owned property is wrong in every since. What if we simply are charged $1 everytime we went a store. No matter how many trips are made or how much in product bought, $1 is all that's charged. Now this is a very basic idea with room for consideration. Imagine if all 300 million Americans went stores 30 times each month and only getting charged $1 each time. What's the math???? 300,000,000($30)=$9,000,000,000 or $9B. What about 12 months? $108,000,000,000 or $108B. Okay, I imagine most people would probably spend 50 times or so at various places. For a $.50 product would be $1.50 total or $500.00 product would be $501.00. That's the basic idea. For corporate and other worlds, there may be a similiar structure but the experts can debate that.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : America's Wish List Pt. I

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 22:46:25 +0000

I vote to eliminate all of the amendments starting from the 11th to present. We need to look at the those and simplify them as better written amendments. I also vote to restrict OUR Congresses power to levy taxes. I believe we dissolve the IRS, CIA, vacate our seat at the UN, and especially make the commitment to our service men and women in our Armed Services to win any war, conflict, or whatever. We do not need to repeat the mismanagement of Vietnam because of our politicians not allowing our military to do their jobs. We put them in harms way, we should have the consideration to make they can succeed. They'll know what to do, that's they're trained to do. I agree with term limits for all elected officials. Mr. Beck made a good point. If someone leaves office due to term limits, the possible successors should be taught what they know to continue the good work. But most of all, we, the American citizens, need to do our responsibility to ensure our elected officials are keeping true to our constitution. I don't want my service to go in vain because the fringe of our society wants to take a stab at the "Great Socialist Experiment" and ruin our country. What we're with this "Obamamania" are growing pains our country will have go through in order to understand how serious our rights are. The USSA should never rise as it will go the way of the USSR!!!!

I believe the Constitution should be a required class in junior and/or senior high schools. I remember taking civics, but don't remember anything about studying our constitution in depth. Although we need to guard against those radicals from distorting the true meaning. I think I'll minor in constitutional studies.

Well done. That's a very thought out vent. I, along with you, am very weary about the threat to national security certain people are posing. I try to keep the "Oath of Service' in mind. I wonder why people are a gasped when that oath is acted upon. I suggest everyone to ready, no study, the oath of service. Then read the oath of office. Similar, yet different. I salute you.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : American Has A Minimum Wage, And Apparently We're About To Have A Maximum Wage

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 06:43:11 +0000

I have issue all who wants to keep raising the minimum wage. Of course having a wage cap isn't a stroke of brilliance either. I can understand there are those out there who may not be able to get much and be more than willing to put forth 100% effort if a better opportunity arises. For all those who take responsibility and going the best you can, I commend you and hope you will be able to improve your situation through your determination. But I don't and never will agree to raising the minimum wage. Look at the cost associated with such a raise. I like the idea the Bush Admin. put, give businesses a tax break to accompany any raise in the minimum wage. I think that's a good idea. Without it, look at those who earn more than the minimum. Say if someone earns $19,200/yr. ($10.00/hr.) would have less buying power against that raise. Small businesses would have to charge more for whatever services they provide. The larger corporations may be able to weather it easier, but why punish them as well? Minimum isn't meant to be a career builder. It's mostly for high school students to get experience in the work force. I imagine people can "servive" off of the minimum. Once we all are near our mid-20's, we should getting established in a career and moving up the latter in later years. That means, among others, more in wages eventually becoming a salaried employee. What are the benefits of the continual raise in minimum wage besides candidates waving it their constituents faces as hollow accomplishment?

I'm about 38 minutes and 08 seconds into this presentation. If this is true, then our future is bleak. But if it comes down to it, there would a revolution to likes of which all generations have ever seen. I challenge Mr. Beck to pull of his investigative prowess, with the help of others as well (like Mr. O'Reilly, Mr. Hannity, ect.) to dig for the truth and timeline all of this from, say, 01 Jan. 1900 to present. I have felt unease for some reason about all of the snippets of information here and there about certain elected officials as of late. I just hope this isn't why. But we Americans need to have credible truth so we can act upon it properly. Why is it that some people must control the masses instead of promote all of the freedoms our founders risked to believe in???? Ego-maniacs will never give up, why???? The worst part is not knowing who is trustworthy. I've been aware of the Brandenburg cronies but haven't not sure of their significance. Let's just hope this isn't true as the outcome of if it is will probably be very violent!

I agree, keep to your beliefs and always keep in mind that America is a worthwhile country. I would suggest to find those who have the same concerns and mingle amongst them. But be sure voice your concerns. Remembering what makes America great can be very encouraging. Learn what you can and try to see how to make what you learn in action that's beneficial to our country. I believe that we Americans are the living constitution. We are more than a piece of paper as we can act upon our rights. The constitution is for learning our rights and representative of the great risk and courage our founders faced in what we can only imagine if they weren't successful. There is a reason America is great. Our history is that testament, our present stands for what we do now, and our future is to be the continual risk and courage we all must take on. If anyone or any group of people are be to looked upon as role-models, our founders are truly the shoulders of giants we stand upon.

Oh, and by the way, check out the americanliberalism.org website. I think you all will find that website an eye-opener. I keep scratch my head about what's posted but maybe I should find it disturbing. Or maybe the voices of paranoia are finally getting to me. Ha ha!!

To all of my fellow citizens......We need to remind ourselves of the ultimate power we American citizens possess. We all, at the same time, need to realize that we hold ultimate responsibility. Both are one in the same. Principle 9 is the example of the fact that all levels of gov't answer to us all. We chose our gov't to get out of control. We chose not to safeguard ourselves against those who want to see our Constitution as a privileged document and not as a reminder of ideals which neither can nor cannot be given or taken. Our rights just are, plan and simple!! We choose to have our rights eroded or solidified. It takes work to ensure our rights. The first thing we need to do is get people motivated in a coherent voice and contact our elected officials. They are there for us and at times we need to give them guidance. We must trust they know what is expected and listen when they're doing wrong. If there are those who are worried about expending too much energy, well it doesn't take a whole of energy to contact the respective offices en mass for or against a measure. Then there are petitions which can be sent in by correspondence, e-mail, ect., ect. We need to focus our concern clearly and respectively. Look at Principles 3 and 8. We need to own to our lack of involvement and take charge respectfully when needed. It doesn't matter who is office, once the people speak, it is in their best interest to take heed the message. Just an observation I feel I needed to point out. And please correct if I'm wrong about my assessment. I think it's best we all start reading to understand the Constitution, especially as it regards our responsibility as citizens to our gov't and our fellow citizens. Thank you and good night.

I know one for certain, if there is to any movement to restore our country as our founders intended, we need those we can TRUST and are KNOWLEDGEABLE to know how to put forth the path. An educated public is the detriment of any gov't. Those perspective leaders need the numbers of the like-minded people to be the substance. It's very difficult for one (even highly acknowledgable) person to start a movement. It all comes to numbers and the dedication of those who support those who choose to lead. There is an other aspect to consider. The steely resolve of the people who support those who choose to lead. Say for example, if a revolution is of no other option, then of those who support the leaders, who would have the stomach to the resolve needed to carry out what our founders had to wrestle with during our American Revolution!!!!! I certainly hope it doesn't come down to that, but I have doubt that many would face their reflection due to their pseudo-guilt of making change we can truly believe in. Our values have been chipped away at for decades. One of the generations to take a big chunk where the hippies. Although if you were part of that disgraceful generation but didn't partake in the "free-love" movement or whatever these individuals believed in, count yourself out. I'm referring people like our "I smoked but didn't inhale" former Pres. Bill Clinton. There is the question about on in particular. I've signed up to the PickensPlan.com movement. I wonder if Mr. T. Boone Pickens is truly serious about bringing forth solutions America needs. It sound all good in all, but I'm no industry insider. If anyone can shed light on the legitimacy of Mr. Boone, please bring confirmation or denial of burden of proof to this concern. So far, there about 1.4 million people who signed up to be a part of the plan.
