How To Fix America and Fast

You just pass a law that says that any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election." 

  

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months and 8 days to be ratified! Why?
Simple! The people demanded it.
That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land all because of public pressure. This is one idea that really should be passed around. 

  

Congressional Reform Act of 2012
1. No Tenure/No Pension
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 

  

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. 

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

  

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 

  

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 

  

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 

  

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 

  

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. 

  

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. 

  

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days
for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.
Don't you think it's time?
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
If you agree, pass it on.

Still The Only Answer

A good friend wrote the below article this the morning after Nov 6, 2012... Worth the read... 

I will add my thoughts as well:
God is the answer... we as a nation have turned away from God, he gives us that freedom... He is very clear what he expects of his people... For some 230 years he has given us his protection and blessing and for the majority of the people we were a Christian nation.   Howeve, in the past 25 year or so we have drifted away from God and his teachings.   Now we go our own way, ignore his teachings, abandon his churches and "do our own thing". 

Take a look at what happened to his chosen people, he let them wander the wilderness and worship their false Gods, say what you want but we are doing it today.

Our youth under age 25, for the most part, have no clue about moral teachings, do not attend church and for sure do not have God in their lives.  The sad part for me, is that our youth will be the ones who suffer as our nation heads toward socialism and the fate that has spread across Europe.   God is a loving God but he is also a jealous God.  His wrath, shown through out the bible, is something to be feared. 

I am sad for my Children and Grand Children, we have allowed the American Dream to be killed and that indeed is a tragedy.  

The Christian people in this nation must stand up and take action if we are to return this nation to its greatness.  This can not happen quickly, it will take decades but we must not wait and we must not falter.   The next 4 years we must work to reshape the conservative party... The Republican Party is out of touch with reality.  It must change and recognize that the nation has changed or the Socialist Movement will forever rule our nation. 

That would be tragic for the US and the World.  Like it or not there must be one great nation who keep the world balance, if not us then Russia, China or the Muslim nations will assume the role... think about those options for a moment.
This is real and it is happening today.

"Evening in America" 
Well, here we are on the day after -  Barack Obama has been reelected President of the United States. Mitt Romney, a truly impressive and good man, will not be our 45th President. Logic has been upended.
 The results of this presidential election is totally illogical. Don't even try to make sense of it.  It seemed totally logical that this man could not be reelected, not with his record. The obstacles appeared insurmountable. I'll list a few of them. 
1. An economic recession with unemployment at historic levels with marginal or no recovery in sight - 2. Fuel prices are at historically high levels and expected to continue rising under the current government policy limiting oil exploration and approval of pipeline infrastructure - 3. Giant military budget cuts  that will affect preparedness, not to even mention the economic effects in areas where large military facilities are located -4. A blatant and incomprehensible assault on religious values with rulings forcing religious institutions to efface their religious beliefs - 5. Supporting gay marriage - 6. Forcing a massive health-care industry takeover that a large percentage of the population doesn't want - 7. A coordinated administration coverup of a terrorist attack on a U.S. embassy that resulted in the murders of four U.S. citizens - 8. An offhanded and scary comment made by Obama to Russian officials, not meant to be overheard but caught when a mic was left on, indicating he would be easier to work with "after the election" - 9.  Obama's inclination to apologize for the U.S. - 10. Insulting our allies - etc., etc., etc. The list of failures and anti-American gestures is well known and extensive.
 Obviously by all logical and/or traditional measurements, the Obama administration is a glaring failure. But - over half the American people voted to reelect him.  So, bear with me while I try to understand this!
 Conservative talk radio hosts, including Rush Limbaugh, observed before the election that the Democratic party was directing their reelection message to the truly ignorant among us, to the morons. That was funny at first, simply because it was inconceivable that a major U.S. political party would engage in such an illogical political strategy. Barack Obama couldn't seriously be running on a platform so vacuous, so completely devoid of substance? Did he want to be reelected? Obama and the Democrats, instead of defining any policy initiatives, were making juvenile utterances like… "Republicans are against clean air and water; they want to take away your right to choose (an abortion;) they want to put black people back in chains;  you didn't build that' implying government is responsible for your success and not your hard work; Obama incredulously stressed his 'honesty' in a nihilistic 'in your face' moment in a campaign ad appearing right after he blatantly lied about the Benghazi, Libya terrorist bombing. Now let's be frank here - anyone with a tincture of intellect and a dab of  knowledge could see right through this obnoxious, truth-starved posturing. Right?  Well, the answer is surprising, even embarrassing. It's also obvious.  Barack Obama was reelected President of the most powerful nation on earth - by his targeted demographic - the truly uninformed - the ignorant among us. Yes!  I reluctantly submit for your consideration this mostly obvious conclusion...  the morons reelected their man. Put another way -- the morons have it!  They have assumed the position of the majority in the greatest nation on earth. Sort of oxymoronic, and definitely tragic.
 Tell me how?  How did the greatest nation on the face of this earth - the nation that literally saved civilization in World War II - a nation which virtually defined 'technological advancement' - a nation truly blessed by God. How did we evolve into a nation of the walking dead? How is it that a majority of our population are truly ignorant - about current events - about our constitution - about what makes us different from other nations - about what makes us great, or rather what made us great?  Let's postulate for a moment - for the farmers among us, let's ruminate. What is the source of some of the truly illogical "beliefs" that permeate our popular culture and have been adopted as a political platform by the left. Beliefs that are the "religion" of the left, and apparently, the marching beat of the majority. How did we become a nation of morons?  In case you're a bit apprehensive using the term - lets be a bit more genteel -  and use the word "uneducated."
   Consider this question. What must happen for the United States of America to survive as that "last best hope of man on earth?"
 The answer? Freedom is the first thing you'll think of. Freedom from tyranny. Freedom from government control. Look around you. Free countries or free peoples prosper to the extent they're free, and the despotic ones don't. Freedom to engage in commerce uninhibited to the extent possible from government is mandatory for prosperity to extend beyond the ruling class. Free enterprise, or capitalism, is the only economic system providing the freedom to prosper, or to fail.
 The second thing on this short list - and may I suggest the most important - is KNOWLEDGE.  Why?  Because freedom cannot exist without the knowledge to sustain it.
 Now, I'm sure you're getting the idea of where I'm going with this. Education is the ship that keeps our country afloat - or sinks it.
 In 1782 Thomas Jefferson said in his Notes on the State of Virginia... "Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories. And to render them safe, their minds must be improved to a certain degree."
 And on January 6th, 1816 Jefferson said ... "If a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilisation, it expects what never was & never will be."
 On March 27, 1824, Jefferson said... "The qualifications for self-government in society are not innate. They are the result of habit and long training."
 And this quote from John Adams... “Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.”
 This from The Nebraska State Education Association... "An educated population is the cornerstone of democracy. This nation's well-being depends on the decisions of its educated, informed citizens."
 I'll leave you with these questions. Do we have an educational system in this country that positively reinforces the founding ideals of this great exercise in economic, religious and individual freedom? Or,  do we have an educational system that is undermining those basic tenets?
The inimitable Ronald Reagan put it this way in a 1964 speech... "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness."

The Only Way Out Of This Mess

Posting warnings did not work but the below gives us hope but the challenge is ours.   The root problem in our country is we have lost sight of the fact "that God allowed us to be a great nation and he will now allow us to become a second rate nation that we are today".  We no longer have his favor as we have turned away from him.   God have mercy on us because we are going to need it, as time will prove......   May we find our moral footing once again and know that God is the only way"

The mourning after; a call for revival 

The United States is now confirmed as a nation that supports abortion, homosexual marriage, a relationship with Islam, higher taxes, even higher debt, mandated government health care, porous borders. But beyond that, there is a certain undertone that our nation is not any longer Christian. How can the vast majority of Americans support those representing what YHVH calls abominations, and be Christian? Christians must come to the stark reality that they are now a decisive minority in a hostile land. Persecution is coming. We have seen the indicators on the horizon and now they have been emboldened by political wins and perhaps institutionalized.

The natural human in these kinds of situations tends to disengage. Our way of life rejected, we often appear wanting to crawl away and hide. I am reminded of the wonderful account of Elijah at Mt Carmel where the prophets of Baal were defeated in dramatic fashion. Then Jezabel vowed to kill Elijah. He ran away and wished he might die. There was a strong wind, an earthquake and a fire. But the Lord was not in them only "after the fire a still small voice." You see, Elijah thought that after slaying the prophets of Baal and standing in the gap for Israel because the people had turned their backs on YHVH, that he was the only prophet of the one true God left. Queen Jezabel sought to kill him.

YHVH, however, in his still small voice, told him in 1 Kings 19:18, "Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." YHVH had preserved a remnant true to him. While the so-called "church" in America is largely focused on self indulgent extra-biblical nonsense that has little to do with the Word of YHVH, there is a remnant tucked away among the masses. This election is a clear sign to those who truly love YHVH and follow Him. We need to pray and act. Our actions must speak boldly as Paul writes in Ephesians 6:19, "that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel."

We are a nation divided. The majority of Americans believe that government is their salvation. The judgment to come, the difficult times ahead, will prove that government is not YHVH. While we as true believers are standing on the precipice of the end of the American dream, we must hold fast to the principal of our freedom: Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Galatians 5:1 says, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith the Messiah has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." We need revival. I am not talking about flashy gatherings in stadiums. I am talking about a revival of true Christianity in our hearts. It's the type of revival when someone's heart is shocked back to life. 

We need to engage as the church in Acts engaged. If we do not, the Lord will continue sifting us until we do. The remnant needs to make itself known a heart at a time. There is a time for mourning. There is a time for reflection. There is a time for revival. There is a time to engage. 2 Timothy 1:7-8 says, "For YHVH has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of YHVH." I am not going to bow my knee to Baal. I issue this challenge: Engage boldly, without compromise.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Slowly but surely the main stream media are waking up

Nevada's Largest Daily Newspaper: Obama "Narcissistic Amateur"

By Katie Pavlich

11/2/2012

The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nevada's largest daily newspaper, has some extremely harsh words for President Obama in a new editorial. The words come in response to President Obama's leadership in the past four years, but specifically in response to his handling of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi known to the Review-Journal as Obama's "blunder."

This administration is an embarrassment on foreign policy and incompetent at best on the economy - though a more careful analysis shows what can only be a perverse and willful attempt to destroy our prosperity. Back in January 2008, Barack Obama told the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle that under his cap-and-trade plan, "If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them." He added, "Under my plan ... electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." It was also in 2008 that Mr. Obama's future Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, famously said it would be necessary to "figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe" - $9 a gallon.

Yet the president now claims he's in favor of oil development and pipelines, taking credit for increased oil production on private lands where he's powerless to block it, after he halted the Keystone XL Pipeline and oversaw a 50 percent reduction in oil leases on public lands.

These behaviors go far beyond "spin." They amount to a pack of lies. To return to office a narcissistic amateur who seeks to ride this nation's economy and international esteem to oblivion, like Slim Pickens riding the nuclear bomb to its target at the end of the movie "Dr. Strangelove," would be disastrous.

Candidate Obama said if he couldn't fix the economy in four years, his would be a one-term presidency.

Mitt Romney is moral, capable and responsible man. Just this once, it's time to hold Barack Obama to his word. Maybe we can all do something about that, come Tuesday.

Ouch. Harsh words, but oh so true.

Although the Journal used the most jabbing words against Obama, at least 21 other major paperswho endorsed the President in 2008 have switched to Romney this time around with the five biggest being The Houston Chronicle, The Forth Worth Star-Telegram, The Orlando Sentinel, The Tennessean and The Des Moines Register. Two things here. 1) Mitt Romney is a much better candidate in 2012 than John McCain was in 2008 b) Obama's record has caught up to him and editorial boards across the country have finally admitted he hasn't earned a second term.

Four days.
