Keep it up everybody! I've yet to get through today. Circuits are getting hammered! Just remember, even if we shut this thing down now, it's only the beginning!

We must be melting down the phone lines. Every time I call the switchboard, all circuits are busy. Every number I've got either rings busy or circuits full. Let's keep it up and hope it pays off!!!

Congressman Forbes’ New Manhattan Project for Energy Independence has been hailed by sources such as CNN and the Wall Street Journal as one of the most innovative energy solutions before Congress. The project calls on the United States to reach 50% energy independence in 10 years and 100% in 20 years, and will award competitive prizes to the first individual or group who can reach any of seven established energy goals: - Doubling car fuel efficiency to 70 MPG while keeping vehicles affordable - Cut home and business energy usage in half - Make solar power work at the same cost as coal - Make the production of biofuels cost-competitive with gasoline - Safely and cheaply store carbon emissions from coal-powered plants - Safely store or neutralize nuclear waste - Produce usable electricity from a nuclear fusion reaction

“If one thing is certain, it is that America needs some wins today. The New Manhattan Project would put our nation on a direct path towards energy independence, while helping create lasting economic security for our nation and its families, and securing our global competitiveness for years to come. It’s a project that relies not on taxation, but on the ingenuity, innovation, and resourceful spirit of the American people that has made this nation great. The New Manhattan Project couldn’t come at a better time – we need a bold, comprehensive solution that will change the trajectory of our nation. I hope that the Members of this Congress will give this proposal the attention it deserves as it comes before the House Floor today,” said Forbes.

An Alternative to CAP & TAX??? Randy Forbes' New Manhattan Project... http://forbes.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?... Washington, D.C., Jun 26 - Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) yesterday introduced an amendment that would replace the entirety of the Energy Tax Bill with his New Manhattan Project, which relies on innovation, rather than taxation to pursue alternative energy and achieve a cleaner environment. The amendment will be considered by the full House of Representatives on the House Floor today.

In 1999 only about 15% of Americans were on some form of Government assistance. Over the years the numbers have fluctuated up and down here and there. Granted, with the economy being what it is, I'm sure those numbers are on the rise, but the vast majority are still hard working, tax-paying, "I'll make it on my own" Americans. But, the vast majority of Americans don't bother to vote. This is what allows the Government leaches to continue to decide what happens to our country so they can continue to suck our tax blood away and suckle off the Government tit while never having to contribute to society in any way. Iraq had a better voter turnout than we did. Therein we find the root of the problem. We've got to stop being complacent because the problems of our Government haven’t hurt us personally enough...YET. Well, now they're really starting to sting most Americans. Hopefully that sting will be enough to compel them to action.

I share your concern and understand where you're coming from but, what made the founding fathers any different than you and I? What made the 13 colonies any different than our 50 states? As a fellow Chief, we both know the answer to this. Mission, Vision, and Leadership. Our founders knew exactly what they wanted, had a plan on how to get there, and lead the charge to do what needed to be done. The only difference between then and now is many people don't have the vision and there are far too few leaders to rally the masses. But that can all change. While we do have a MASSIVE entitlement problem on our hands, I don't believe the majority of Americans are part of that problem. And of those that are currently part of the problem, I'm sure there are those (perhaps few and far between) that would gladly be part of a better solution if they're giving one. So the challenge then becomes, getting the mission, vision, and leadership in place to enact some REAL change. It's not too late. And it WILL be enough.

Oh, I know exactly why most people want it. They want the money, rock-star status, and life time health and retirement benefits that go with one of the laziest jobs in America. Is it too much to ask that someone run for office because they BELIEVE in something other than the perks or their own interests?

Think of what the founding father's had to work with. There was no constitution for guidance, there was no example to be followed, there was no grand experiment to replicate. Hell, there wasn't even a majority on their side when they started. They were severely out numbered by Britain. Yet they literally started with nothing and turned it into America. Yes, we've come horribly off course and yes, it's going to hurt BAD before it's better. But it's far from a lost cause brother. And for the record I agree with you that no mid-term election is going to fix this. But we've got to start somewhere. Even the longest marathon begins with a single step.

There's only one thing that'll EVER make a difference with these people.....being voted out.

I couldn't agree more with that. I've posted the Congressional switchboard information on ever forum I'm a member of to inform people of the vote (since the media clearly isn't going to!) and give them the "how to" on contacting their reps. As I've been saying elsewhere, they probably won't listen to us anyway, but if we don't voice our opposition, we're complicit. http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/basics... Call your local reps. Tell them to vote NO, then be prepared to vote their sorry @$$ out of office in 2010 for not listening to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_...

Let me expound on this if I may. I don't fault him personally for what he did. As many have said, that's between him, his wife and kids, and God. I'm not perfect either and I don't judge other men; that's not my place. However, it is our responsibility and our DUTY to ensure out Government is being run by those that are a moral and religious people. This is why I say he must go. Make no mistake, God can judge him as a man, I'm judging him as a Governor. And as a Governor, he has failed to sustain the prerequisite credentials for the office he currently holds.

While we'll certainly be in worse shape by then, America will still exist, in some form. It's never too late to take back the country. If the colonies can take it from Britain (so to speak) then American's can sure as hell take it BACK from less than 500 people run amuck in Washington. But it's up to We The People to get informed and get involved. I see a lot more of that happening over the last 3-6 months than I've seen in the last 3-6 years! That's a good sign. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_... It's never too late to get started!

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/basics... Not that they'll listen, but if we don't voice our opposition we're complicit to say the least. I for one can't wait until the next election cycle. It's time to start sending these schmucks back to the real world.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams Sorry, but he needs to go.
