My fellow 912’ers let me first start with the fact that I’m so disappointed with the outcome of recently passed legislation enacted by an inept tyrannical government. It is clear to me now that I have no representation in congress, or in Washington working on my behalf, or working for the benefit of this country. They seem to be working for greedy corporations, or looking out for their own personal gain. I no longer see any responsible adults watching out for my children’s future. So what can I do too slow down this machine that is bent on destroying the fabric of this nation? I’ve attended tea parties, wrote my congressman, made phone calls, pulled my hair out, and for what? Should I give up and put my head in the sand like so many of my fellow citizens? No I will hit them in the purse strings to coin a phrase; and I encourage you to do the same. This is my idea: any company, union, or group that supports these measures or bills will never again get any of my hard earned dollars. I will divulge my accounts of any holdings in bonds, stocks, or interest in any company that gets behind the President’s plans.
Any company willing to lobby for, or give support to these inept congressmen and women shall never again see a red cent from me. Even if I have to learn to plant my own food, and sew my own clothes, so be it. Perhaps we should start a letter drive to these corporations informing them that if they want to join in the political fray, there will be strong consequences for their actions. If their willing to choose sides then so will I as will others. Please help me gather information on companies that are aggress in there contempt for this country just to help their bottom line. We need names and deeds committed, and we have to gather that information for letter drives and pickets. I know that it is difficult to invest your money and time, but what are you willing to do for your country? We are under attack, and need to strengthen our numbers as well as our convictions; so that congress will be forced to hear us.
I spent some time last night working out the math to learn how much we are currently are spending on the interest on the debt. You might like to know it’s around 200 million an hour, and that’s without the 3.5 trillion just past.
Cnn.com calls church goers most likely to torture people. You should also watch Cheney's daughters interview when she was on msnbc; see it on the foxnation.com
Please sign the 912 petition, and stand up and be heard.
Please sign the 912 petition and make a stand.
Just wrote CNN my opinion and I encourage every to do so as well.
I was in Pheonix, AZ. and we had easily 5000 people, and we weren't on the list.
Let’s add up just some of the taxes I pay each year. Federal 11%, State 3% Social Security 6.2 and 6.2 employer contribution which is me 12.4%, Medicare 1.45% and 1.45% that’s 2.9% me again, FUTA 6.2% until $7,000., Workmans Comp 9.2%, Property Tax $1,800 or 3% of my income, Sales Tax 7.5% on anything I buy, .19 cents a gallon Fuel Tax not quite 1% of my income each year, 11% Alcohol, $2 a pack of cigarettes, $250 a year per car for Tags and Emission testing, then we have environmental impact fees for changing your oil, tires, trash, utilities, phone (50%), TV, to build a house or anything for that matter 3%, Excise Tax, Local and County tax, I have my own business so there’s Bonds, License Fees, Huge Taxes, ect… My point is that I’m patriotic for paying this, so I should be afforded the right to protest out of control spending by politicians. If they’re going to waste my money on welfare checks to the irresponsible then maybe they should know how I feel.
Aldous Huxley's Perennial Philosophy is a better book than Brave New World.
