Tea Party April 15

What’s the tea party all about?
By Jim Chiodo
There are many reasons why millions of Americans will take to the streets on April 15th. Some people think it is about party politics and displeasure with the current administration. While a great many are fearful where our country is headed, it is not party politics. It is a fundamental disagreement over government’s role.
In particular, we believe the government is far too big already. Yes, this includes the previous administrations excess spending and the idea of bailouts to banks. The plans of the current administration are to make it even bigger. We resent the intrusion and control of government into our lives and liberties. This is a key factor prompting protests.
Take note elected officials regardless if you wear a Democrat or Republican label. The message is clear! Stop the spending. Stop the additional taxation, especially the hidden taxes in the form of increased prices passed on by industries overwhelmed by government meddling and targeted taxing.
Every member of every level of government should open their eyes as to who is on the streets. We are not college students who can skip classes at will to party on the street. Although some of us are unemployed, we are not the life-long unemployed with nothing better to do than attend a rally. For the most part, we are taxpayers who are mad as hell and don’t want to take it anymore.
If you want to know more about us, look to the national figures, personalities and famous people who leaders and organizers of this protest. Unfortunately, you won’t find any famous, rich or recognizable people. They don’t exist. Instead you will find the “Joe, the plumbers” and the millions of no-name people who are indeed, mad as hell.
Organizers are the guy who lives around the corner and you didn’t even know his name before. They are the secretaries, computer technicians, clerks, businessmen, salesmen and any other occupation you can think of. There are also retired people who remember what this country once stood for.
Notice the speakers are not politicians. In fact, party representatives and elected officials offering to take the podium at most tea parties are being rejected. Instead, the everyday Joe’s of this world will speak. There will be no teleprompter with carefully worded speeches that don’t say anything or words chosen to be interpreted differently by different groups.
For some in Washington, the protests and the scope of attendance will come as a surprise. There have been no full page ads in the newspapers and no TV ads. There are no deep-pocketed promoters or backers of this movement. The cost of a TV advertisement is far beyond the means of any organizer. The Major TV stations and affiliates have not even made a single mention on their new coverage of this protest. Fox news and a couple on air personalities or radio talk show hosts are the only medium even mentioning the tea parties.
The biggest way information is being disseminated is on the internet through countless blogs and sites. It is not coordinated at all. Duplicity of information is causing confusion among many internet neophytes as to which is the “official” site. Unlike a promoter like ACORN or MOVE-ON, there is no single source of information.
Despite the odds against a coordinated protest getting off the ground, it is indeed gathering strength and April 15th is only the beginning. This is an unprecedented grass roots activity like the one which happened in Boston many years ago. It is aimed at any future official seeking election. This is our lobby. We won’t make campaign contributions for future pay backs. The salary you receive as an elected official from our taxes is all you will get from us. If you want to hold office and want our vote, take note of what we want and expect of you.
Key to the protests is a desire to take back our country. Just because an elected official or party received 51% of the voted doesn’t give them a mandate to fundamentally change our country. Even the rhetoric used to gain that 51% has proved false. A tax break for 95% of Americans and change from politics as usual has proved to be false.
Speaking of 51%, there are indications our boarders will be opened, giving citizenship freely to illegal immigrants. This goes beyond weakening our security. It perpetuates government taxing productive sector or America and giving it to those who want socialism.
Every country on the face of this earth that has tried socialism has failed. Why would we want to emulate those failures? Why would we seek counsel from leaders of those countries, especially those that despise us and seek our failure? This message is not about our international relations which is yet a different subject.
This message is about our desire to keep American strong on the premise of individual freedom and free market principals. If you define that as greed so be it. That greed is what applies to any American who gets out of bed and goes to work, trying to make a better world for his children. It applies to the millions of people striving to learn a skill or get an education to improve their lot in live. It applies even to the street vendors at the inauguration, who sold souvenirs to those who attended. And yes, it applies to the big “greedy companies and their wall street investors who seek growth and success which allows companies to hire more people.
You can define socialism in many ways but the bottom line message to those who claim the “right” to free housing, free healthcare, free mortgages, free food, and yes to private business, banks, etc, is summed up by the following:
“Your fair share is not in my wallet” Sphere: Related Content

A CHANGE

I have been going back and forth with regards to this blog as to what direction I want to take it. I rewatched the Obama Deception again tonight and it really hit home to me that the one thing that can save us is our Constitution. That is the law that has some how become over shadowed by reasonable policy. I watched the HCO Series John Adams which I thought was incredible. Now there is part of the movie that shows Alexander Hamilton, our first Secretary of Treasury. They showed him in one scene, trying to convince Washington that our country needed a Central Bank and that they best way to raise money was to go into debt through the Central Bank. Obviously this was rejected by Washington. But during John Adams presidency, Alexander Hamilton got his hand in the cookie jar again. Because of the French and England going to war with each other, the US was being put in to a "pick a side" situation. Both Washington and Adams both stayed in a neutral stance feeling that it would destroy the country. Adams got a bit nervous and started to put together a Navy and Army, going so far as to get Washington to be the leader of the Army again. Washington agreed but said that his second in command, Hamilton would be his liaison. Long story short, Adams rips in to Hamilton because Hamilton is constantly pushing war on him. Adams sees that Hamilton had an ulterior motive for doing this and disbanded the army completely. The point here is that you can see how fragile our country is and was and that it takes people with actual morals and believes in what this country stands for to really make it happen. It is something that needs to be created on all the time. Yes, there are reasons why the freedom of speech sucks, hearing the hate come out of peoples mouth is hard to hear but at the same time there is beauty in their being allowed to say what is on their mind with out the government attacking them. The 4th Amendment is a barrier to stopping real criminals sometimes but it is still their right not to be pulled to the side and searched because they are walking through a subway stop. And yes, people die because of guns, but it is because people pull the trigger and sometimes that trigger is against someone attacking their home with the intent to hurt them, whether the attacker is a robber or the government, we still have the right to bear arms.
So my mission is to redo my mission. I am going to finish reading the Constitution and I am going to dedicate this blog to violations of our Constitution. I suggest that you all read it as well. Sphere: Related Content

God Save The Queen

I have to make a correction from my last entry where I started off saying that I can not accesses my account. Remember I said that I either struck a nerve or I was a moron? Well, I am a moron!!!!
Today I am going to speculate here as to what is going on so I am stating that I am give my opinion here! Obama was sent an invitation to meet with the Queen privately in England. Now it really is not a big deal for the President of the US to meet the Queen of England, hell, she has been the Queen for over 50 years, longer then Obama has been alive. This is a State Department actions for leaders of this country to meet with leaders of other countries. My real problem here is that our President had a private meeting with the Queen. The Queen politically is a figure head for the country of England and does not have a direct affiliation with the government of England or more simply, she does run for office. She is still connected through some sort of voting right through Parliament in all the Common Wealth nations. (England, Canada and Australia) Plus her face is on their money!!
Why is a President meet privately with someone who in reality is a private citizen who happens to own most of England, Canada and Australia. I am not trying to make something out of nothing and if this was the same old routine action, I would not even bring this up it just happens to be right before the G 20 and the President is meeting with people that are for population control, see this article: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article3908588.ece
There have been way too many articles, announcements and hints to a "One World Monetary System" leading up to the G 20 meeting. I guess what is really getting to me here is that our country fought the most impossible war in 1776. This was not the war against England, it was the war of our minds, it was the war against the shackles of being second class citizens, the war against an oppressive monarchy and that war set forth the freest concept government has ever had in its history and our President is meeting with the monarchy that we fought against privately? Something just does not jive for me. Sphere: Related Content

What The Hell Is Going On

Well I have either hit a nerve or I am a complete moron when it come to using a computer but I can not get in to this blog now with out having to reset my password every time I need to get in to update this blog! Yes, I can not even get in to my new Gmail account anymore, I guess because they are linked.
Today was a really tough one for me because of what I read in the Metro here in NYC today that just set me off. Now I set this blog up to point out to you the people reading this what is going on in our country that I see is a violation of our Constitution of our country as well to share opinions of what is going on around us. See, I don't want to end up living my life with the government watching everything it is that I am doing, I don't want the government telling me what I need to eat, what I need to drive, what my families health care is suppose to be. The problem is, that is what is happening as we speak. So back to what I read in the Metro which I can not find on the web anymore, but basically Obama's administration had asked the CEO of GM to step aside from his post as CEO as well as telling us this morning that the government is not going to give GM or Chrysler any money because their plans are not workable. Now lets back track, AIG comes to the government with its hands out for another bailout and then are given the money while they are giving out a reported 165 million in bonuses. AIG was not asked to put together a plan that will prove to the government that AIG will turn itself around so that they will be more responsible with the money that the pose gives to them with "no stings attached!!". Do you realized that these bailouts are "no interest loans" while hard working Americans are loosing their homes because some fancy ass banker decided to rip off some couple so they could later seize their house. And yes, AIG probably back up that loan with an insurance policy!!! Yet the auto makers of this country are a huge support system throughout our county. Think about that greenhouse killing machine that you drive around in. Think about that seat you sit in, someone made that which means that someone had to design it, someone had to put the parts together, someone had to deliver those parts, someone had to proved food for that person, someone had to deliver that food to that store so that person could buy that food. Now that person is going to be out of a job so that whole evolution of economics will have one less person involved. No worries, the Obama administration will step in and reestablish GM for us while selling Chrysler to Italian owned Fiat, which by the way reached an agreement today, boy that was fast!!! Here is quote for USA Today's David Johnson's article "The president's auto task force said Chrysler needs to partner with the Italian car company Fiat, which has "committed to building new fuel-efficient cars and engines right here in the United States," Obama said in a speech at the White House.
"Fiat is prepared to transfer its cutting-edge technology to Chrysler," he said.
He gave Fiat and Chrysler 30 days to reach an agreement and said the government will provide Chrysler with "adequate capital" to operate in the meantime.
Later, on Chrysler's website, Chairman and CEO Bob Nardelli said Chrysler and its parent, Cerberus Capital, have "reached agreement on the framework of a global alliance" with Fiat."
a link to the article: http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2009-03-30-bailout-wagoner_N.htm
The point to all of this is that it is completely set up. First of all why is the President making this decision, where is the people's opinion. Did we not set up a government for the people, by the people and of the people. Why this oligarchy action and attitude from Obama's administration?
Think about the mess that will be created with the government stepping in to run a plant like GM. First will be the workers, well you can pretty much kiss their pension plans good bye. GM goes belly up, those contracts are no longer valid and not only does that pension fun go but so will that great pay that they have been getting. Next will be their cars. Boy I can see Gore ringing his greedy little hands, that damn battery car will be buzzing down the highway are 40 miles an hour. By the way Gore, doesn't electricity come for carbon base energy? I guess those tracking boxes will be no problem now that you own the auto industry. PEOPLE, THE GOVERNMENT BANKRUPTED OUR COUNTRY IN ORDER TO CONTROL IT!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!! Nothing like this happens like this by mistake. The economy did not all of a sudden take a dive and do so not only in an election year but the election that Obama was running for President. This has been thought out very, very carefully. Do your research!! Why did Paulson come out the day after the $750 billion dollar bailout was approved and say that they were not using the money for the subprime loan crisis? This was why they said they were putting together a bailout. This is what they told Congress was needed to help the economy. If Paulson said it was not for the subprime loan crisis, where is the money? Dammit, this is why 85% of the country was not in support of this bailout. Where the hell is the money going then? JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citigroup and Chase implied to Congress several weeks later that they were lending it to people!! Hey, little insight to me, I work in real estate in NYC which really was not hit to hard with the subprime loan thing, they are not lending money, it is a lie!!!!!! Sphere: Related Content

Attacks On The First Amendment

I do not have too much time right now to get in to this other then to say the following and please read the link that I have set up. When you were a child and your little sister or our little brother found out that you did something bad and said that they were going to tell what was your reaction? I remember going to my parents and do 1 or 2 things, either taking bad about my sibling in order to get them in trouble first or I would try and stop my sibling from telling on me. Well apparently this is what Mayor Bloomberg is doing to people that he is feeling threatened by these days. Please read the following link.
