Probably a more than lethal dose of My BS. . .

Simon Properties and Obama Domination

Hello everyone.

So, I was listening to Glenn Beck today and he made not of the outrageous things being done by the Simon Properties Trust. This company is one that owns MANY shopping centers and shopping malls all across the country. They have been huge Obama supporters and have contributed enormous amounts of money to his campaign.

The shut down a TEA Party in Gwinnett County, GA and cutting off the lease to a kiosk in a mall where a man was selling anti-obama gear. So, I am calling for everyone possible to boycott this company’s locations in the U.S. You can easily find out if a location near you is involved with this company by visiting their website: Simon Properties Trust

Now, I go to Obama and his ignorance involved with healthcare.

Why does he insist that healthcare is broken? Yes, the SYSTEM needs improvements in efficiency and cost of care, but doesn’t the United States have the best healthcare on the planet? By law, if you go to a hospital, they are required to treat you, despite your inability to pay. So, the claims that Obama makes that people cannot access care because they cannot afford it, is completely false.
He is so ignorant and arrogant. He continues to alienate more than half of the entire country by saying that critics are supporters of a “broken” healthcare system that provides inadequate care to individuals who are unable to pay. And when I say alienate, I mean that he says to himself that we don’t matter, and that he will force us into a system that we don’t want to be in despite our requests for discussion and fairness. The fact that he is staying on this power trip where he believes that he can do whatever he wants just goes to show how out of touch and ridiculous this man is.

I honestly believe that this man does not like America. Why? He never sings the praises of America and the great things it has accomplished. This is a man that was allowed to excel in life and create something of himself because of the very ideals that this country was founded on, and he has the nerve to curse the very existence of our great nation. This may seem radical, but I can tell you folks, this man is embarrassed of what “America” has become. And what does he decide to do about changing American into what he wants? He and the rest of the Democrats believe that they need to create this nanny state that is full of people that can do nothing but complain and run to their government for rescue.

Why does he want universal health”care”? Because the status quot is not working. I hate to break it to you Mr. President, but the status quot that you so resentfully speak of is a system that has created many of the best medical minds that have ever walked the planet. The status quot has allowed millions of Americans to excel and capitalize on the opportunity that America offers. The very opportunity that Barack Obama capitalized on in order to rise out of poverty and become President.

I should not feel like I am being ignored by my President. I should not feel like my President does not care that I have legitimate concerns about what he is doing. I should not have to voice my opinion this way.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time that we take back the country that this man has stolen right from under us. How will we do this? VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!! Pay attention to all the politicians that talk to you. Listen to what they have to say, and decide for yourself if they deserve to be in office. If you don’t like them, don’t vote for them.

It is time that we let the President know that they people that he is smothering the voices of are not happy and deserve to have their voice heard. He cannot and will not take it away.

I’ll leave you with some funny photos that might empower you a little more ;)

And here is your video of the day.

Why does the President insist on forcing these ridiculously expensive and complicated bills on the American people? I honestly cannot think of a logical explanation. The best answer I can come up with is that for some strange reason, he wants to control every aspect of our lives.

Many polls report that Americans DON’T want a health”care” bill forced on them. All these polls also report that Americans DON’T want a climate bill forced on them, either.

You may be wondering why I keep saying the word “forced”. It’s simple. The President has literally told Democrats to ignore opposition and produce something. This effectively cuts off nearly 100,000,000 American citizens from the discussions. The most frustrating part about all of this is that none of this is new! Remember all the TEA Parties? The President pretty much said that he didn’t care, was not aware of them, and wasn’t worried about them. So, the President doesn’t care that MILLIONS of Americans do not approve of what the man is doing? He doesn’t care. He believes that he, and he alone, knows what is best for this country, and I am here to say that he is flat wrong.

I want to know why more people aren’t upset about this. It might be because the President has a tendency to oppress the people that oppose him, and even some of the people that helped him get elected.

Here are some examples: LGBT groups are furious with him because he has failed at fulfilling the promises he made about the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” deal in the military. Hundreds of gays have been dismissed from the military under Obama.

Another: Let’s not forget the totally disproportionate amounts of money that the “stimulus” bill that is going to the states and districts that voted for him. The more liberal regions have gotten enormous amounts of money, while the more conservative regions have been ignored and stuck with what’s left over.

The President believes that he is in touch with the average American, and it is becoming increasingly obvious that he is not. If he were in touch with the average American, he would not be doing most of what he is doing right now.

He insists on taxing the rich and wealthy, simply because they have money, to pay for this stupid health”care” bill. This is no different than racism. If you are someone who believes that someone should be taxed more only because they have more money than others, you are no better than Bull Connor.


(Did you know that Bull Connor was a Democrat?)

I believe that if Dr. Martin Luther King looked at what was going on in our country, that he so desperately worked to change, he would be furious and disheartened. All that the man worked for, and died for, has nearly been tossed into the garbage.

Mr. Obama, Martin Luther King would frown upon you. Discrimination is discrimination, no matter if it is the color of your skin or the size of your pay check.

All that the Obama Administration’s actions are going to do is this:

“Penalize success, and promote mediocrity”

That is where our country is headed if we allow this to continue. Sadly, I don’t think that we can do anything that would prevent what is going to happen to us. Barack Obama continues to insist that Democrats in congress ignore opposition, and just produce something. Ignore the congressmen that have concerns that these bills will destroy our economy. Ignore the congressmen that have legitimate alternatives. Ignore anything and everything the opposition says, simply because they are Conservative.

I say again,

“Discrimination is discrimination. Whether it is the color of someone’s skin, someone’s sexuality, the size of someone’s pay check, or the vary ideals that they live their life for. Discrimination is discrimination!”

Sotomayor, CIA, the CBC, and more of a Nancy Nightmare! ahhhhh

Since I’ve been slow to update on here, I’ve decided to cover four subjects.

Sotomayor, an outstanding woman who has made great strides in her personal life to get to where she is now. While everyone will admit she has put a lot of effort into her life, many will additionally agree at she has said some things that are pretty controversial. We all know about the “Wise latina…” quote, but what does she mean? I can tell you, her words were not taken out of context, the way she worded the quote made it pretty impossible to mean anything different than what it obviously did.

Anyways, today was the first day of the confirmation hearings. It went good for both sides, though, the Democrats, surprise surprise, in the committee were present to take out the wet blanket and through it on the floor of the room.

Dianne Frankenstein (AKA Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)) was there to drop to her knees and face towards Mecca (AKA Sotomayor) and praise. Al Freaken (AKA Al Franken (D-MN)) was there to make known that he had finally arrived. Upchuck Schumer (AKA Charles Schumer (D-NY)) was there to take over the praising when Frankenstein got tired. Last, but not least, Crapsten Gillibrand (AKA Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY)) was also present to provide a sleep inducing speech that lasted longer than her allotted time.

It seemed like Republicans were the only ones there that looked like they knew what was supposed to happen at a confirmation hearing. Speeches are to be made that examine the variety of questions that will be asked of the nominee during the hearings. Democrats apparently thought that this was a scheduled get-together in order to say good things about a person that was about to receive a handsome award.

Next we move to the CIA. Apparently, Eric Holder wants to look at prosecuting former Bush administration officials for apparent broken laws, despite Obama’s opinion that we should move on and look forward.

Am I the only one that thinks that Holder’s eyes magically disappear into a dark abyss when he leans over?

It’s scary!!!! Anyways, this look at prosecutions is just an attempt to steer the public eye away from the Nancy Nightmare Pelosi fiasco that was taking place when she accused the CIA of “misleading” her. Also, it is an attempt to keep people from looking at how disastrous the health”care” bill would be.

Our Teleprompter in Chief Barack Obama even goes so far as to say “…don’t bet against us.” when it comes to the health”care” bill. Doesn’t it feel like he was really wanting to say “or else” at the end of that quote?

FIERCE!

So, this leads me to the Congressional Black Corruption (AKA the Congressional Black Caucus or CBC). Charlie Strangle (AKA Charlie Rangel (D-NY)) is set to present the healthcare bill that would tax the rich and probably lead to a tax on the middle class too, simply because there aren’t enough rich people in this country to tax.

Next on is Nancy Nightmare Pelosi. The Republicans are expected to zero in again on Pelosi on the CIA issue again. This is coming about again because she made serious allegations against the CIA, ones that should not have been made by a very high ranking official. I think it is all the Botox that has gone to her head.

Pelositox

So, that’s it. I leave you with this little clip. This actually happened:

Stop Stimulating Me!!!

First of all, sorry for my absence, I’ve been in Panama City Beach, FL for the past few days, so I haven’t been online very much.
Bella vista

Anyways, a lot of discussion has started lately about another “stimulus” for the United States.  You know, it’s kinda scary when the leader of Germany says that government spending needs to be curbed, worldwide.

Here’s a question: If the amount of money you make at work starts to get smaller, what do you do?  An average person would tighten their belt, spend less, and cut expenses.

Another one: Would you give a poor drug addict man five bucks because he says he wants to buy a “cheeseburger”?  Most people wouldn’t, cause you know he’s probably not going to spend it on a burger.

The fact is, the federal government feels that it can spend as much money as it wants.  If you looked at the amount of spending it has been doing, you would swear you were looking at the credit card bill of spoiled, ditsy bleach blond.The epitome of the Federal Government. . .
(Credit: The Insider)

There are 305,000,000 people in this country, and most are being affected by this economy.  What do these families do when they don’t have as much money at hand?  They cut their spending.  Why can’t the U.S. Government do the same?

Barack Obama promised that Joe Biden would make sure useless spending didn’t occur. Cause remember! “nobody messes with Joe!”
Nobody messes with Joe!
(Credit: Barack Obama Blogs)

Out of this entire stimulus era, I have only heard of one project that is “shovel ready” and would create steady jobs. Wanna know the sad part? It’s not even part of the stimulus. (shhhhh)

Here it is, this is stimulating:
The City of Birmingham, Alabama wants to create a new bus route for downtown that would link, I believe, the 12 major regions of downtown to the Central Business District. The buses would be electric, or cleaner than usual, and this would not be a part of any current transit system. This means that this new service would create NEW steady jobs that wouldn’t be eliminated, in the foreseeable future. And it is “shovel ready”.

The above is an example of the types of projects that the president said this stimulative would create. And I’m sure that he’ll take the credit for this.

The reality is that the federal government is ruining the economic future of this country, and my generation is going to have to fix it! I don’t want this to be my problem, but I apparently don’t have any choice!

Sarah Palin’s announcement and a little Gibbs action

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that this post is going to be about Sarah Palin’s announcement to resign by the end of the month and not seek re-election as the Governor of Alaska.  The big question on everyone’s’ minds is why she did this.  I’m a big Palin fan, so it was particularly disappointing to see this happen.

I’m not sure what to think when looking at this.  I do believe her that she wants to do what is best for Alaska and shift the media attention from a woman who is holding the position of Governor to a woman who holds the positions as a mother.  The latter of which I’m sure we all agree is the best for her family, which has been ridiculed by the liberal media for nearly a year.  Turning her into a person that is hated and snarled at by nearly entire demographics. Even those that haven’t been huge supporters of her have expressed their opinions that liberal media ridicule was partially to blame.

The constant media negativity towards her had its own part in causing these numerous ethics complaints to be filed, most of which were completely ridiculous, but some of which were valid questions that should have been and were settled.  May I remind you, all of the complaints were thrown out.

The people of Alaska have suffered the most from these ethics complaints.  Sarah Palin is a strong woman, and she can take the criticism.  Sadly, the simple fact that she was a Republican Vice Presidential nominee was enough to bring negative press in droves her way.

The fact is, she was a reformer in government, and a governor that was respected and liked by Republican and Democrat Alaskans alike.

Anyways, do I think this announcement was brought on because of aspirations for a future office?  No.  Do I think that she has those aspirations? Yes.  If anything, I see a Senate race in her future, one that would be highly successful.  I don’t believe that she wishes to be President, or Vice President.  But, I think she has wishes to continue to represent and fight for her state, and at the same time improve the country as a whole.

****************************

So, for a second half of this post, I’m gonna report on the antics of Robert Gibbs:

Here’s the video, if you wanna watch the really good stuff just start the video at 2:30 into it.

Helen Thomas, of whom I am very afraid to look at might I add, threw these criticisms at Gibbs, and possibly made my year. The fact is, White House press conferences have lately been kinda… “structured”. Which is very odd, considering that these conferences are supposed to be pretty thrown together.

Fact is, we’ve been hearing a lot of reports of pre screened questions for Obama and his press secretary. For example, the Huffington Post blogger, Nico Pitney, that was specifically called on by Obama, because there were apparently Iranians who had questions. This course of action that Obama took in receiving those questions was a bit odd, considering his wishes to be uninvolved in the Iranian protests. It also kind of made me mad, because Barack Obama is MY president, not Iran’s… Why is he answering their questions when there are 305,000,000 people in his own country that want to ask him THEIR questions?

The town hall meeting that Obama held was very much geared toward getting people emotionally involved. While I am completely sympathetic towards the woman, Debbie Smith, that spoke about her cancer and lack of health insurance, I see it as pretty insensitive of the administration to use her story in order to pull people in because they feel sorry for her. It is widely known, and admitted by the administration, that these questions were pre-screened and selected by them. That really negates the point of a town hall meeting. A town hall meeting is organized to have regular people ask random questions that are completely unexpected by the receiver, much like a White House Press Conference…

Let me say. I do respect Barack Obama. I want everyone to know that no matter who is in the White House, I support them to make the right decisions and correct moves. We should ALL respect and support the office of the President, because without this support, how can we expect them to make the right moves? I know, I am very critical of the people that hold current offices, but this is because I believe that they are capable of making better decisions and improving all of our lives.

Who is Obama’s Secretary of State?

Who is Obama’s Secretary of State? Watching the news… you really can’t even tell that Hillary Clinton has a job.

Now, let me start off by saying that I don’t agree with many of Hillary Clinton’s policies and beliefs. But, I must say that she has great foreign relations experience, something that Barack Obama didn’t have and still doesn’t have.

She knows what is acceptable and what isn’t, what will anger people and what won’t, and she knows how to react to protests in Iran that involve the slaying of people by public law enforcement.

Maybe you haven’t heard, but Obama’s reaction in which he said that he was “outraged” by the acts of the Iranian police against the protesters, was the advice of Hillary Clinton.  It took him a number of days for him to finally come out and condemn the actions of the Iranian government.  And get this, Hillary Clinton, after she advised Obama on this, was not notified that Obama would be taking her advice and announcing his public condemnation of Iranian government’s actions.

Most have said that this is the first known instance of awkwardness since the two former rivals began working with eachother.  But, most also ignore the fact that Obama has seemed to be ignoring Clinton.  I know he thinks he knows what is best for the country, but he needs to realize that he’s not alone in DC, and he has a Secretary of State for a reason.

President Obama, your Secretary of State has great relationships with foreign leaders and diplomats that predate your political career!  Pay attention to what the woman has to say!

Are our civil rights in jeopardy?

What has our country come to?  What has it come to when a city decides not to promote a firefighter because of the color of their skin?  What could make this situation worse?  I’m going to say that the fact that this kind of discrimination has spread to white and Hispanic population, and no longer simply covers African Americans.

The Supreme Court ruled today that the city of New Haven, Connecticut wrongfully decided not to promote a single firefighter, because there were no minority firefighters that passed a certain test for promotions.  The made this decision, despite the fact that a white, and dyslexic,  firefighter spent many long weeks studying to no end.  He ended up scoring the highest out of all the firefighters that took the test, and yet, no one received a promotion.

Since this city lies in New England, I guess their actions shouldn’t surprise me.  Too often, more liberal portions of the United States worry about being politically correct and civil rights lawsuits when it comes to making a decision between a minority and a white person.  The district court of appeals up there said that the city has the right to defend themselves against a possible lawsuit filed by an African American, had the city decided to promote a white firefighter instead of a black firefighter.

Where this situation gets even more interesting is here: Sonya Sotomayor was one of the judges that decided to uphold the decision of the lower court.  Those judges, issued a single paragraph statement, upholding that decision.

Anyways, the Supreme Court decided that those lower courts were wrong.  The decision was made with in a 5-4 split in favor of the white firefighter, with justic Kennedy casting the swing vote.  Obviously, the 4 decenting votes were cast by the justices that are considered liberal…

I applaud the Supreme Court in this decision.  EVERYONE in the United States deserves equality, no matter their skin color.  I think it is ridiculous that a city in America decided to stomp on the civil rights of humans in order to defend themselves.  These governments were created by the people to SERVE the people, not to defend themselves (these governments) from the people.
Here is what justice Anthony Kennedy said,

“Fear of litigation alone cannot justify an employer’s reliance on race to the detriment of individuals who passed the examinations and qualified for promotions.”

Democrats have begun their attack on the decision.  Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, calls the decision “cramped” and wrong.

Here are the facts.  There were 77 firefighters that were given the test.  Of those, 41 were white, 9 were black, and 6 were Hispanic.  Of the 77 that took the test, 17 whites and 2 Hispanics could expect a promotion, based on test results.  The disparities in the results, relative to race, can simply be looked at this way: looking at the numbers, it is obvious that it is more likely that a white person is going to come out on top than a black or Hispanic person purely because there were many more white firefighters that took the test.

People, it is time for EVERYONE to realize that we should be basing our decisions on true merit and character, and not the color of someone’s skin.  Accusing a person, or organization, of racial discrimination without a legitimate reason is something that should be frowned upon.  People should not live in fear of being persecuted because of suspected racial discrimination.  I ask everyone to take responsibility for their actions and to live freely.  We do not need civil rights legislation to tell us that we should live equally.

My climate bill alternative

This is kinda beating a dead horse, but I still feel like posting an entry about an alternative that I think would be more effective than the current bill going through Congress.

First of all, we all agree that the environment is an important part of this earth. I mean, obviously, we wouldn’t exist without it. Second, we all also agree that the environment needs to be protected, and that we should be doing something to lessen our impact on the Earth. Sadly, I think that the people that represent our country in the District of Columbia have ignored what we do agree on have begun focusing on what we do not agree on, and turning the discussion into a political nightmare.

To start off with, during these economic times, the last thing that we should do is enact legislation that places and undue, or overwhelming, burden on the American citizens. This recent bill, unfortunately, has failed to avoid this. The thing is, reducing our pollution footprint on the planet does not require massive amounts of money.

I am one of those people that believes that there are many other ways to reimburse, ways that do not require the use of money. Things like education, demonstrations, festivals, and advertisement are all ways that the federal government can go about reducing emissions. Of course, these things do cost money, but they do not have as large of a financial impact on each person that pays for energy.

For those of you who are reading, that live in the United States, if you’ll think with me for a moment. What are some reasons that that you don’t do more to save energy or reduce how much pollution your actions cause? Here is a list of five that I’ve come up with:

1) It’s tedious, I’m a lazy person…
2) I have a low sense of self-efficacy
3) There is low accessibility to “green solutions” in The South
4) I become embarrassed if I’m the only person doing something in public
5) I don’t have the time (kinda goes with #1, but it’s a bit different)

So, now that I’ve listed these, I’m gonna go through them and think about the reality of each of them.

1) It can be quite laborious. So, what are some things that I do, or could do, that do not require as much effort? Well, some obvious ones are turning out lights, keeping the thermostat a few degrees higher, paying attention to how much my car sits in idle, it isn’t absolutely necessary to eat out as much as I do. Those are the obvious things, and when I actually think about them, they really don’t seem all that hard or difficult to do.

2) Ok, sometimes I believe that I, as one single person, cannot have too much of an effect on the environment as a whole. Which, isn’t completely false, but if you think about it, you really can make a difference. Picking up a plastic bottle along the road is one less bottle floating down the river. Using a grocery bag is one fewer trash bag I have to use. Or, doing what I’m doing now can make people think about what they could be doing to make a difference.

3) I’m sure a lot of people know what this one means. Many believe that there isn’t much accessibility to these solutions. In reality there are a lot of things that you have access to. Lots of people think that you have to have access to a private company that does these things, and you really don’t. Just because you’re not directly reducing how much CO2 you pump into the air, doesn’t mean your actions don’t eventually have that effect. Simply picking up trash can have a drastic effect.

4) This has always been a big one for me. Sadly, there’s really no way around it. Lately though, I’ve gotten past it more than I have in the past.

5) Ok, this is probably the most common complaint, and the fact is, you don’t have always have to take time out of your schedule. Simply pick up a discarded plastic bottle, newspaper, or recycle batteries instead of putting them in the trash. What I do is make an effort to at least pick up a discarded plastic bottle whenever I’m on my way home from class during the school years. We may not all have time to do physical work, but we all have time to think about ways we can make it easier on ourselves to do these things.

********************************

Now, back to the political side of this. This recent “Climate Bill” re-enforces the view that many share, that our politicians have lost touch with their constituents.

Our politicians legislate from Washington, instead of representing us in Washington. Now, you’re probably wondering what the difference is. This is the difference: legislating from DC means that they sit in Washington and just vote; they don’t seem to think about what the people want, they simply vote and pass laws. If you’re still confused, a great example is an insurance company. Think of the money you pay towards insurance as taxes and you’ve got a pretty good idea of what I’m talking about. The people that read through your claims look at words and type, not at the people behind those words and type.

Anyways, here’s my alternative, finally. I’ve been ranting…

Encourage more education. Let people know what they can do. A big problem in this country is that people are oblivious to the world that they believe revolves around them. If people continue to be so blind and ignorant to the consequences of their actions, what do our politicians expect to happen?

Demonstrate, advertise demonstrations. Show people doing the things that we need to start doing. More people learn by example than learn by reading some 1300 page bill that was passed over 700 miles away.

Festivals, these can actually have a huge effect. In my area, the Decatur area, there are quite a few festivals and celebrations that involve the environment, and they do a GREAT job in showing people how to take care of their environment. Sadly, these festivals often go unnoticed. They’re well planned, and usually fun and entertaining, but not many people know about them. If you bring people together, it solves a lot of problems. People want to know that they’re not alone in this. If people feel along in doing it, they’re gonna get frustrated with it, and give up. These festivals also show how it can be fun to take care of the world, and also how you can enjoy it and keep it clean at the same time.

Of course, we can’t forget about the legislation that has already been signed into law. Good gosh, one thing at a time! Please! It should be made a priority to enforce and improve the laws that we have already passed. Those laws and initiatives should get improved funding before we start throwing money at some new bill.

That’s all I have to say, I can’t think of anymore really, and I apologize for the length. I hope no one got bored…

On the heals of a hideous House bill…

I am pleased to introduce my very first post!  I hope you all enjoy.  You, being probably no one at this moment, but hopefully, eventually, people will read this thing.

The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a Climate Change Bill that will undoubtedly affect everyone in the country that uses energy.  That is, if it passes the Senate.  I’m happy to say that I don’t think it will pass the Senate.

This is the worst situation possible for a bill to pass.  The bill passed by just seven votes, and proves that this was not a strong, or fair bill.  Not only was the writing of the bill finished less than a day ago, it is so incredibly long that no one has read the entire thing.

The passing of this bill tells me that Democrats are doing their best to ram their most extreme agendas down the throats of the American people while they still hold their temporary majority.  Now, not all Democrats voted for the bill.  But most were obnoxious in their attempts to persuade people to vote with the part line.  There were Democrats who thought for themselves, and saw that the American people want to make their own decisions energy use.  I am pleased to report that the entire Alabama U.S. House delegation voted no on this.

Most Americans do not support this type of reform, and show a willingness to voluntarily change their habits in favor of reducing emissions.  The actions of the government continue to encouraging incompetency in the U.S. population by constantly attempting to be the nanny of the people.

The House cites job growth, economic growth, and independence from foreign oil as reasons for this bill.  They somehow think that a sugar coating will make it easier to force the American people to take a pill that is eerily similar to a muscle relaxer.  These types of bills increase citizens’ complacency, and reliance on a larger organization to take care of them because they become incapable of caring for themselves.

I beg everyone to realize that this bill will vastly increase energy costs.  President Obama admits this.  This increase in cost will result in numerous job losses and budget shortfalls across the board.  The Speaker and President say that clean, green jobs will be created, which is true.  Unfortunately, the number of jobs created will be far fewer than than the number of jobs lost as a result of higher energy costs, resulting in a net loss of jobs.  So, with this, we get fewer jobs, with fewer dollars in peoples’ wallets.  Because of less money at hand, people won’t spend as much at stores, causing the stores to lose revenue.  Because of the loss of revenue, they will have to get rid of workers, which means a loss of jobs, and again less money at hand.  It will become one vicious circle.

I think that many of our legislators have forgotten one of the primary causes of the recession.  High energy costs.  These high energy costs require people to spend more and more on energy, and less and less on other things that also stimulate the economy.  This in turn has caused a massive outflow of cash to foreign countries.

I urge you.  Call or email your Senator.  This is very important.  Let them know what you really think.  It is their job to listen and take into consideration what their constituents say, the people they were elected by.

Again, I welcome any comments.  If you wish to keep it private, you may email me using the email address I provided in the contact me section.
