Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of.
Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution.

Grateful for gridlock
If the president is going to tell us why we are angry, I wish he would get it right. His spin is that we are frustrated because Congress didn't get "health care reform" passed due to partisanship and bickering.
The truth is we are relieved that it didn't pass. In this case, I am grateful for gridlock. I thank God for those "obstructionist Republicans."
The election in Massachusetts obviously represented support of the filibuster process, which the Republicans could use to save us all from government-run health care.
After the Massachusetts election, America breathed a sigh of relief, but with a fear that health control would raise its ugly head again. How can we get it through the thick heads in Washington that we don't want the government running all of health care? I hope the people of America will continue to voice their opposition to federal health control.

Opposed to energy bill
I recently faxed a letter regarding the much-mentioned energy bill Congressman Blunt wisely voted against. When the truth is known about that bill, I am thankful congressmen Blunt, Akin, Luetkemeyer, Graves, Emerson and Skelton voted against it.
I faxed the letter to Sen. McCaskill before the two record snowfalls in Washington, D.C., despite the hyped-up threat of "global warming."
I have been following the Waxman-Markey Bill, Cap and Trade, and see it as a dangerous and ill-timed response to real environmental problems. For the sake of Missouri businesses, for the sake of Missouri jobs, for the sake of good sense, I urged McCaskill to oppose this legislation.
I am opposed to the bill, but not indifferent to the cause for which it is intended. Of course, we need to do what we can to reduce pollution, and must find alternative energy sources. Doing this will eliminate our reliance on foreign oil and allow our children and grandchildren the same opportunity to breathe the clean air we currently enjoy.
The current bill doesn't get us there, and will cost billions in GDP and millions of jobs.
Cap and Trade will end up costing jobs in this country by the millions. The National Association of Manufacturers estimates this bill will cost 2 million jobs by 2030, two-thirds of which will come from the manufacturing sector. Our country is only beginning to back away from a recession. Why would we jeopardize economic stability by cutting more jobs?
There are many things we must do to create energy sources, but we must act responsibly, and it must be done in order to make us more independent of foreign energy. The Waxman-Markey Bill doesn't accomplish that.
I asked her to do all she could do to defeat this bill and to work with Republicans to draft an energy plan that will accomplish the stated goals and benefit the citizens and employers.

Addicted To Spending
It's no secret - politicians love to spend money, some more than others. It's getting easier to spot the ones who are really addicted to spending our money.
Congressional Democrats want to raise the debt ceiling from $12.9 trillion to $14.3 trillion. But Mr. Obama proposes a spending freeze on about one sixth of the total budget.
This is like a family with an income of $40,000 that has been spending at the level of $55,000 a year, seeing their debt of more than $100,000 and saying this year they will not increase their current spending level. They will continue to spend money they don't have and accumulate debt but do nothing to stop the accumulation of debt, less pay off any of it.
The president even admits this won't make a dent in the national debt. But with elections around the corner, the liberal Democrats are already squealing. They see increased entitlement pay-outs vital to their re-elections. Getting re-elected seems to be their first consideration when deciding how to spend your money.
Those guys in Washington must think we are stupid or not paying attention. Is it government by the people or by a bunch of disconnected know-it-alls who refuse to listen to the people? The election in Massachusetts is just the tip of the iceberg. There is an uprising out there.
I urge you to get on board. Support and work for candidates with your values - a statesman, not a politician. Write letters to your congressmen. Support the state sovereignty movement in Missouri. Join a group of patriots and let your voice be heard.

For Congress to guarantee a right to health care, or any other good or service, whether a person can afford it or not, it must diminish someone else's rights, namely their rights to their earnings. The reason is that Congress has no resources of its very own. Moreover, there is no Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy giving them those. The fact that government has no resources of its very own forces one to recognize that in order for government to give one American citizen a dollar, it must first, through intimidation, threats and coercion, confiscate that dollar from some other American. If one person has a right to something he did not earn, of necessity it requires that another person not have a right to something that he did earn. To argue that people have a right that imposes obligations on another is an absurd concept. A better term for new-fangled rights to health care, decent housing and food is wishes. If we called them wishes, I would be in agreement with most other Americans for I, too, wish that everyone had adequate health care, decent housing and nutritious meals. However, if we called them human wishes, instead of human rights, there would be confusion and cognitive dissonance. The average American would cringe at the thought of government punishing one person because he refused to be pressed into making someone else's wish come true. None of my argument is to argue against charity. Reaching into one's own pockets to assist his fellow man in need is praiseworthy and laudable. Reaching into someone else's pockets to do so is despicable and deserves condemnation." unknown author
