THE PROPOSED NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

 FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

FOR THE YEAR 2011

December 26, 2010

      As the New Year, 2011 comes within view, the American people, disheartened and disgusted with their representatives in Washington, still have the hope and determination they have always had that good will overcome evil and things will be better for them this coming year over the disappointments of their government for the last few years.

      Never underestimate the will of the American people who have overcome every challenge thrown at them since their fight for freedom, starting in 1776.   They have successfully met every threat to their freedom and well being before and have always triumphed, so we, as a people, can be depended upon to do it once again and whenever necessary.

      The sad fact is that this present challenge comes, not from without, from some foreign country or source, but from within and from the very people the American people have selected to represent them.

     It now is abundantly clear that the representatives we have elected to represent our needs in Washington for many years are controlled by their political parties and lobbyists who throw money at them every day to do the bidding of their clients rather than the American people they are duty bound to represent. 

     By law a representative is required to represent every man woman and child in their district or state.  However, from the moment they enter the halls of congress, they are segregated by party affiliation, with the democrats on the left and the republicans on the right.  Next, they usually vote in lockstep with the wishes of their party leaders on legislation before them regardless of its merit or the need of the American people.    Anything proposed by one party member is automatically opposed by all the members of the other party and this is the cause of the gridlock the American people have come to hate. All this combined has caused this severe recession.  The chief object of one party and its members, is to destroy the other party and its members and that is why it is difficult, if not impossible, to get things done in congress.  When one party stands on party principles and will not compromise, it is the entire American people who suffer the consequences.

     There is no question but membership in one's political party or political contributions motivate the actions of all of our representatives in congress, when even our founding fathers never foresaw this problem in the founding of our government by our constitution.    That document does not mention political parties, although they existed at the time. Our first president, George Washington, at his farewell address even warned, "Beware of the power of political parties."

      Now, more than two hundred years later that power has exposed itself in all its ugliness and selfish aims, the control of the people's government.

      If you don't know whose government it is, the constitution will tell you, in its first paragraph.  It reads "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice insure domestic tranquility provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America."

     Therefore, this is our country and no one else's.  So why do we let others take control of our country away from us?  It is our duty to carefully select the people we elect to congress from time to time to represent us, as the constitution provides. Please read Article 1, Section 2 it reads that we, the people, choose our representatives every two years and our senators every six years.  They are our representatives and no one else's.  The constitution wisely provided for the election of our representatives every two years, a very short time and for good reason. Every two years the people have the obligation to elect the whole House of Representatives again, the theory being, so the people have a chance to replace those they deem not worthy of re-election and elect someone else.

     However in practice people have become complacent to the point only 50 % of eligible voters bother to go to the polls and vote anyway, while many American are "to busy" to take an interest in their government and the person whom is elected.  Still others, are so disheartened by events, they foolishly have forfeited their rights by failing to vote at all. It is this complacency that has brought us to this crisis, of economic distress and ten percent unemployment.

      Over the years by re-electing the same representatives over and over again, our representatives have found themselves in control of our government without the necessary scrutiny of the people at the polling booth every two years.

      As a result the American people have lost control of their representatives, who quickly fell-prey to the lobbyists in Washington, pouring so called, "campaign contributions" into their pockets for the favors needed by their varied clients.

     What has happened these last ten years, is that our government has worked for everyone but the American people, with the result that our economy is the worse ever and our congress and political parties are being paid by lobbyists to keep oil and prescription prices high and their hands off our free trade system that is making communist China rich and the United States of America bankrupt, while all our jobs are being shipped overseas.

       All this disaster has happened because the American people have been complacent and allowed it to happen, rather than using the simple power of their vote at the polls to keep the ship of state on an even keel, which ironically is their obligation to their country.

       The one bright star and omen that has emerged, was the result of the last election of November 2010.  The American people are finally waking up to the problem and the need to clean their both houses of congress by their vote at the polls every two years until our representative learn that they are a elected to represent all the American people in their district and not any political party or philosophy.

      Lastly, the American people must demand that the politics of their representatives are left at the door and are banned from the workings of our government, once an election is over and that our representatives enter congress to work only for the people they represent in their district or state, regardless of party affiliation or the money they receive as "political contributions."

    That must be the New Year's resolution for every American in the year 2011 and for every year thereafter; in a few short years our economy will improve and our unemployed will be back to work in permanent jobs.  That is the way our constitution was meant to work, from the power of each individual American's vote at the polls.  Every vote that is not cast injures that power of the masses. 

    So, please make your 2011 New Year's resolution to VOTE!  VOTE, for your sake and for the country we need to save, again.    

CHRISTMAS IS FOR CHILDREN

December 25, 2010

Dear children everywhere:

           Isn't it fun to be celebrating the Christmas Season?    You get time off from the discipline of school every day.  You can go to the Mall and stores to see the vast collection of toys, gadgets and other things you wish for and desire.  You get to see Santa Claus with his red coat, long white beard and jolly face or one of his look-a likes and tell him what you would like Santa to bring to you on Christmas day.  You get to help decorate the Christmas tree with lights and other ornaments.  The Christmas tree is the focus of your attention, because, every year, Santa Claus and others manage to surround the tree with brightly colored boxes of all sizes and shapes for the entire family and for visiting guests and family members, who may have traveled many miles to come to your home for this festive Holiday.  Just about everyone has two sets of grandparents who are usually present, to help you enjoy the day and who understand and spoil you more than your parents would allow.

    None of you can wait until Christmas morning, to gather under that tree to help distribute and open your gifts.  You go to bed early, as you are told by your parents and to be good or Santa may not come.  You cannot wait and usually lay in that bed in wild anticipation until you doze off to dreamland from sheer exhaustion.  When you awake in the morning, you awaken your siblings and you all rush to the tree to see the gifts that lay beneath that fruitful tree.  After the usual "oohs" and "ahhs" you set about the task of handing out the gifts.  Based on the names written on the tags, like "To Seth From Santa", or "From Santa To Paige".  In a few minutes everyone is busy tearing apart the beautiful wrappings and fancy ribbons and bows, to discover, inside, that special gift they wanted all year but, their parents insisted they could not afford to buy.  You were so happy, you cried with joy and immediately set down to examine and play with this cherished gift.

     After a while you hear someone announce, "Everyone, dinner is ready!" and you scramble to the beautifully set table and take your place.  All the best china, crystal, glasses and sterling silverware are set around the table at each place setting, along with the linen tablecloth and matching napkins that your family only uses on special occasions and, this is such an occasion, because it is Christmas.  There is the pair of silver candlesticks with burning white candles set on each end of a blooming bouquet of aromatic flowers and pine as a centerpiece in the middle of the table. 

      Mother and Grandmother, Rose,  have cooked a special meal of turkey with gravy, ham and all the fixings like stuffing, potatoes, peas, a lettuce salad, hot rolls and plenty of butter.  Followed by the special desserts which are mostly homemade pies of apple, blueberry, and pecan and lemon meringue. Aunt Christine arrived with a large round marble cake covered with melted Hershey Chocolate frosting which was served with a choice of vanilla or chocolate ice cream.  It was an instant hit and most of the pies were placed in Tupperware and handed out for snacks to take home for everyone to enjoy later.   

     Christmas is the time to exchange Christmas cards and New Years greetings.  Many are of the Hallmark Company with the preprinted words that require only the sender's signature while those of my youngest daughter, Janet Quilty, are handmade works of art suitable for framing and cherished forever as masterpieces.  Grandpa Joe, sends out the cards in his family which are filled with handwritten notes on the front and back, as his says, because he wants to get his money's worth and send a personal heartfelt message to each recipient.

     Christmas is a special, happy time, to visit friend and relatives to sing Christmas carols to remind us that Jesus was born on Christmas day in a manger or stable in the town of Bethlehem to the Virgin Mary and Joseph, the carpenter.  At the time a bright star appeared in the East attracting the Three Wise Men who traveled from afar to bring gifts to this Christ child, as he was called.  This was the start of the gift giving tradition at Christmas where every child is looked upon as possible saviors of our religion and faith in our one God.    Each parent cherishes their children from birth to death with the love and sacrifice only a parent can give in the hope their children will have a better and fuller life than their parents have enjoyed.     

      Christmas, then, is about our religion, as taught to children by their parents and their Church.  It is about Jesus and his life and his twelve disciples who helped start the Christian religion.  It is about caring for people, healing the sick and feeding the poor and those less fortunate.  It is about helping those who cannot help themselves, by sharing and caring for your fellow man when the need arises.  Maybe we cannot perform miracles like Jesus did, when he made the blind see or made the crippled walk again, but we can do well by helping others whenever we can.   

     This is our purpose in life, to live our lives like every day is Christmas. To love and be loved, to be generous when we can give and to gratefully accept help when we are in need.   To dedicate our lives to make this world a better place.  To have progeny to take over our task when we become old and too handicapped to help any longer, that is our fulfillment in our lives, not money, not power,  but love and compassion for our fellow man.    

     Finally, we know that Christmas is for children, to instill in them the knowledge and love necessary to respect and help their fellow man.  To accept gifts at first as a deserving child so  that they will ultimately learn to bear  and give gifts to others, in  reciprocation and  to  feel  more satisfied in giving, rather, than in  receiving, as, when they  were children.

     This year, more than ever, with two long enduring wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, we need to pray for our servicemen and servicewoman who are fighting and dying for us to keep us free and safe.  Every one of them is a hero for doing this for us while we go about our lives with so little of the sacrifice they have given us for many years without complaint.  We must never forget their devotion to duty for us and remember to respect them as heroes when they finally come home  content to pick up their lives where they left, off, just happy to be back in this wonderful free country called America.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

THE SURRENDER OF PRESIDENT OBAMA AND CONGRESS

IT IS TIME FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SOLVE THE UNEMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC

PROBLEMS, THEMSELVES

December 9, 2010

          In five short weeks, president Obama has gone from being shellacked at the November election to surrendering to the Republican minority in congress over the rich man's tax cut.

          All his promises of "change" and "No, we can't," even though the congress is controlled by his Democratic party.

          The devastating election results came about because after two years of effort with a very friendly congress the president had not given any real signs that his plans were working and that the economy was improving and the unemployed were going back to work.

          Instead, he and congress spent these two years wasting about five trillion dollars of money he did not have in the treasury, helping everyone but the 5% unemployed Americans whose numbers doubled during those two years and as of this month, are still increasing.

          Now we are saddled with a thirteen trillion dollar deficit, which increases at least a trillion and a half a year, while we are faced with a need to do something because we have reached the limit of our legal debt and the government must shut down, raise the limit, or reduce the budget and other expenditures by two trillion dollars a year.

          Faced with this prospect president Obama caved into the Republicans to agree to add another trillion dollar package mainly to extend the expiring rich man's tax cuts for the next two years, he had promised to end.  In return for their vote to extend unemployment benefits to two million unemployed Americans for the last two years, for only one year.  Of course, the middle class tax cut he voted to keep was saved along with a 2% tax cut for working Americans.

          All this is nothing more than another failed stimulus since there is no likelihood that one job will be found for the 15 million unemployed.  The rich man's tax cut for the last eight years has helped bankrupt the country at the rate of a trillion dollars a year in lost revenue while the unemployment benefit are but mere temporary help to the unemployed, postponing the day when jobs might be made available. 

          Forget about business hiring people because of this tax cut since they have laid-off about ten million in the last ten years while this tax cut was in effect.  In addition, to hire help, a company must have a demand for the product it produces.  We have no demand for most American made goods because American business cannot complete with the Chinese worker, as has been proven for the last 25 years, there is absolutely no reason to expect American businesses to look anywhere to complete and stay in business except overseas, where the cheap labor is located.  With our free trade agreements, we have managed to sell our American workers out for the cheap overseas labor.  About fifty percent of our unemployed were laid off by American businesses in favor of products made in foreign countries, they went overseas to make.

          The recent election was an urgent call for a change in direction of our government, to find ways to return those unemployed into permanent American jobs.  Tax relief does not produce jobs in this circumstance which has been building for 15 years.  What we need is about seven million new permanent jobs to replace those lost overseas.

          This is no ordinary recession; we are heading for a depression worse than what we experienced in the thirties and the last two years has made that painfully clear.

          If our politicians in Washington would stop taking payoff money from lobbyists representing these very big businesses who are making their money overseas, and from the oil and drug business in this country and overseas, then maybe, they will represent the American people to elect them.

          All we need is the government to have the courage and the will to start an accelerated alternative energy program to rid us of our dependence on foreign and domestic oil.  It would put a few million Americans into permanent jobs and reduce our trade deficit on oil imports a trillion dollars a year.  That in turn will reduce the price of fuel and the cost of food and goods being transported to market.

          Next we need to change our free trade agreements to a balanced trade instead.  Foreign countries may sell us whatever they want but must accept payment in American made goods, instead of money.  That also would save us about a trillion dollars in the trade deficit with China while putting another seven million American into permanent American jobs producing the goods for the demand caused by the new balanced trade policy.

          It is that simple, but our politicians don't talk about that, because they are being paid to do the opposite by the lobbyists whom control them.  Our politicians include the Democrats and the Republicans, equally, and each presidential administration since 1985 when free trade went into effect.

          Do you wonder why fuel, and gas prices are raised at will by the domestic oil companies whom are making huge profits at the expense of the American consumer since 1972, non stop.

          It is time for every American to wake up and do something and they can start by buying only American made products and not re-electing all of the present politicians in congress whether they be Democrats or Republicans.  In addition, both political parties control their party members as much as the lobbyists with money and intimidation.  Take a good look at how the Republican Party treats the newly elected tea party congressmen, they are being told, "the party comes first, not you!"

          The money saved from the rich man's tax cut and unemployment benefits could have been used to help fund the alternative energy projects we need desperately.

          When you insist on buying American goods only, you are creating a demand for these goods, at the expense of foreign goods, and our local factories will hire the unemployed to satisfy this demand.  Within a few years the pain of this recession will end, if the American people begin to help themselves instead of waiting for the help that never comes from our representatives in congress.  The time has come to end our dependence on foreign oil and products.  What are you waiting for; start today and you will feel better about yourself and help your fellow man and country, all at the same time.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL PARTIES TO COME TO THE AID

OF THEIR PEOPLE.

A PASSIONATE PLEA TO OUR PRESIDENT OBAMA

WRITTEN ON:  APRIL 21, 2010

DEAR PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA,

      THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE LOST PATIENCE WITH YOUR ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE, FOR THE LAST FIFTEEN MONTHS YOU AND YOUR MAJORITY COHORTS IN CONGRESS, HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ENOUGH TO REVERSE THE DOWNWARD TREND OF OUR ECONOMY AND LOWER THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF AMERICANS IN THE WORKPLACE.

     IF YOU HAD ONLY CONCENTRATED ON CHANGING LAWS AND HELP JUMP START NEW ALTERNATIVE ENERGY PRODUCTION BUSINESSES,  HERE IN THE UNITED STATES YOU COULD HAVE PUT MANY AMERICANS BACK TO WORK WHILE REDUCING OUR DEPENDANCE ON FOREIGN OIL AND AT THE SAME TIME LOWER THE DEFICIT IN THE BALANCE OF TRADE FIGURES. 

    THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED REDUCE A TRIPLE WHAMMY IN OUR ECONOMY AT THE SAME TIME WHILE HELP IN RAISING THE HOPES AND FINANCIAL WELL BEING OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, WHO HAS LOST THAT HOPE ALONG WITH THEIR JOBS IN THE PAST THREE YEARS.

    YOU MUST REALIZE, BY THIS TIME, THAT THE SO CALLED STIMULUS PACKAGE OR THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY ACT AS YOU PREFER TO CALL IT, HAS DONE LTTLE TO PROVIDE NEW OR PERMANENT JOBS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED

      THOSE GENEROUS BUT COSTLY EXTENSIONS OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT PROLONG IT AND DO NOT GIVE THE UNEMPLOYED BACK THEIR SELF RESPECT THEY HAD WHEN EMPLOYED.

      THE BAILOUT OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS YOU CLAIMED WERE "TOO BIG TO FAIL", HAVE FAILED TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMY AND HAVE ONLY USED THE MONEY WE LOANED THEM TO BOLSTER UP  THE STOCK MARKET, SO THEY COULD REAP THE HUGE PROFITS IN ORDER TO PAY BACK THESE LOANS,  NOW THEY ARE THUMBING THEIR NOSES AT ANY ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL THEM TO PREVENT THE ABUSE THEY HAVE CAUSED ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE SAVINGS AND LOAN SCANDLE OF 1985, WHEN CONGRESS FIRST BAILED THEM OUT AND THE MELT DOWN OF THE MORTGAGE FINANCING  BUSINESS  SINCE 2008.  YOU AND CONGRESS INSISTED IN THROWING MONEY AT THE FAILING AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY WHICH HAS DONE LITTLE IF ANYTHING TO HELP THEM OR THE PROBLEM WITH THE ECONOMY AND UNEMPLOYMENT.

      YOU AND CONGRESS HAVE WASTED A YEAR OF PRECIOUS TIME TO PUSH THROUGH A REFORM OF HEALTH CARE THAT DOES NOTHING TO REDUCE COSTS, THE MAIN PROBLEM UNTIL FOUR YEARS FROM NOW, UNDER PLANS YET TO BE DEVISED.  HALF A LOAF IS NOT BETTER THAN NONE WHEN THAT HALF A LOAF CANNOT BE EATEN TODAY.

      YOU HAVE MANAGED TO SQUANDER THE FAITH AND TRUST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PLACED IN YOU BY YOUR ELECTION WITH YOUR PROMISES OF "CHANGE AND, REFORM" AND WORKING TO BRING THE POLITICAL PARTIES TOGETHER IN CONGRESS TO SOLVE THE MANY PRESSING PROBLEMS THAT NEED QUICK SOLUTIONS INSTEAD OF BEING A REFORMER YOU BECAME A JUST ANOTHER POLITICIAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOW BENT ON THROWING OUT OF OFFICE AS ANOTHER DO NOTHING RIGHT POLITICIAN IN WASHINGTON.

      IF YOU HAD WORKED ON MAKING PERMANENT FIXES IN THE ECONOMY INSTEAD OF COSTLY BAND AID AND USELESS PROGRAMS AS TAX CREDIT FOR FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS, ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES AND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY PRODUCING RETAIL PRODUCTS THE UNEMPOYMENT FIGURES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER AND THEIR PAYCHECKS SPENT TO HELP THE ECONOMY AND PAY TAXES TO TOWNS CITIES, STATES AND THE U.S. TO HELP BALANCE THEIR BUDGETS.

      YOU ARE NOW SPENDING ABOUT 2.2 TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN YOU FEDERAL BUDGET WHILE THE U.S. INCOME FROM TAXES IS HALF THAT AMOUNT.  THAT ADDS 1.1 TRILLION DOLLARS TO THE YEARLY   DEFICIT WHICH IS ALREADY ABOUVE 12 TRILLION DOLLARS, THE HIGHEST DEBT, WHICH OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ARE FACED WITH.

      I AM SICK AND TIED OF HEARING YOU SAY THAT YOU INHERITED THIS ECONOMIC PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU, SIR, WERE ELECTED TO SOLVE IT NOT MAKE IT WORSE, WHICH YOU HAVE DONE WITH THAT RUNAWAY CONGRESS YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO PARTNER WITH  INSTEAD OF ATTACKING AND BATTLING WITH.

      IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO YOU AND YOUR ADVISORS THAT THE OLD BAND AID APPROACH AND TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS WILL NOT WORK.   THESE DAYS ANYONE IN WASHINGTON SEEMS TO COMPREHEND THAT THIS ECONOMIC PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO THE ABUSE BY THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS BECAUSE THAT ONLY CONCERNS THE FINANCE, MORTGAGE AND BUILDING MARKETS OR CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES.

      FIRST, THIS RECESSION HAS COME ABOUT BECAUSE OF THIS COUNTRY'S FALURE TO FACE UP TO THE STRANGLEHOLD THAT FOREIGN OIL NATIONS HAVE BEEN SUBJECTING US TO WITH THE HELP AND COOPERATION OF THE GREEDY AMERICAN PRODUCERS WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT MAKING A HUGE PROFIT.  THE  RISE IN THE PRICES OF  GASOLINE AND FUEL OIL FOR THE LAST THIRTY YEARS HAVE WEAKENED THE BUYING POWER OF AMERICANS BECAUSE TRANSPORTATION COSTS WERE ALSO AFFECTED SO EVERY PRODUCT HAS HAD THAT HIDDEN EXCESS COST FOR OIL ADDED TO THE PRODUCT WE  BUY IN COMMERCE.  FUEL OIL FOR HEAT HAS JUST ABOUT CRIPPLED THE AMERICANS LIVING ABOVE THE MASON DIXON LINE DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME WHILE CONGRESS AND EACH SUCCESIVE ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE NOTHING TO RID US OF THIS DEPENDANCE ON OIL IN ANY ORGANIZED WAY.

     SECONDLY, THE WELL INTENTIONED FREE TRADE ACTS AND POLICIES OF THE U.S. IN 1985 HAVE CAUSED US MORE HARM THAN GOOD.  WHILE THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY CHEAPER GOODS MADE IN LOW WAGE AND PRICES SUPPORTED COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA THE AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS AND PRODUCERS HAVE FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE WITH THEM AND AS CONSEQUENCE HAVE, IN MOST CASES EITHER MOVED OVERSEAS OR PURCHASED THEIR PRODUCTS OVERSEAS WHILE LAYING OFF THEIR WORKERS HERE IN THE US.  WITH SUCH INTENSE COMPETITION FACING THIS NATION WE HAVE COME TO THE POINT THAT MOST EVERY PRODUCT NEEDED IN THE U.S. IS PRODUCED OVERSEAS, WHAT IS SURPRISING, IS THAT THERE IS NOT MORE UNEMPLOYMENT HERE THAN WE HAVE/  THE COMPETITION FOR LABOR HAS NOT BEEN HELPED BY THE BIG LABOR UNIONS WHO HAVE CONSISTANTLY DEMANDED HIGHER WAGES AND BENFITS FOR THE NOW OVERPAID UNION WORKER WHO SUDDENLY FIND HIMSELF UNEMPLOYED WHILE THE UNION BOSSES ARE SECURE IN THEIR JOBS AND DO NOTHNG TO HELP THE UNION WORKER FIND WORK.

     THIRDLY, IT IS A KNOWN FACT, THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS ALWAYS WORKED TO THE DISADVANTAGE OF THE UNION WORKER BY TURNING A BLIND EYE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND ALLOWING MORE AND MORE VISA APPROVED WORKERS INTO THIS COUNTRY TO TAKE JOBS SUPPOSEDLY THAT "AMERICANS DON'T WANT".  THIS SITUATION HAS CUT INTO THE AMERICAN WORK FORCE BECAUSE THESE VISA OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WORK FOR LESS PAYING WAGES.

      NOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS POISED TO RECOMMEND AN AMNESTY BILL FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE 1985, TO GIVE A "PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP" TO THESE ILLEGALS, WHICH WILL ONLY ENCOUAGE MORE ILLEGALS TO JUMP ACROSS OUR BORDERS.  THIS WILL BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE THE DEMOCRATS CAN MAKE IF THEY DO THIS AND IT WILL MARK THE END OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. 

      OF COURSE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERSTED IN POLITICS THESE DAYS AND BOTH THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PARTIES ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE FACING REJECTION AT THE VOTING BOOTH.

      THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS AND QUICK SOLUTIONS TO THE ECONOMIC AND UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS IN THE U.S. AND CAN NO LONGER, WAIT FOR LONG TERM SOLUTIONS THEY NEED REAL RELIEF AND FAST.

      "NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL PARTIES TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR PEOPLE".  WILL YOU FINALLY COME TO OUR AID, AS YOU MUST?
