Back in early September I wrote Senator Nelson, on September 8th I got a reply which basically said that he wasn’t listening. He co-sponsored this lame legislation known as the Cybersecurity Act of 2009. I pointed out that we really don’t need another Presidential advisor to waste more of our tax dollars. How creating another position and all it attendant bureaucracy will make us more secure boggles the mind. After receiving his response I was compelled to write again on the subject and include additional information pertinent to the subject and to include additional facts supporting the reasons that I believe the legislation is unwarranted and unnecessary. I also pointed out that the overlapping concerns between existing agencies and the proposed new position will likely cause there to be an unintended reduction in the effectiveness of our security. I wrote a well though out and non-confrontational letter to our Senator Nelson. Today I got a replay. I was very hopeful that ...

With all due respect to former President Carter, he simply is out of touch. I lived practically all my life 40 miles from Plains, Georgia and I do know the neighborhood. I respect the office of the President and I disagree with the sitting President (Obama) on practically everything he proposes. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with my country. I am against the dramatic increase in the size of the Federal Government. I am against the unbelievable increase in the Federal debt. I don’t believe that taxing business is the way to increase growth or to advance the common good. I am against creating new bureaucracies (new regulators, new government oversights, etc.) I believe that less government is actually better. I think that actually holding people (government employees) accountable for their mistakes and for the proper execution of their job makes sense. I have worked with government agencies from federal down to local and observed waste and ...

What are we going to do when the government bails out the dying newspaper industry? Talk about government control of the news! Obama and company have already set the stage for takeover of private industry in the name of “job preservation”. What do you think the Democrats will come up with to save the dying newspapers that are their supporters? People are canceling subscriptions left and right. Distrust of the media is at an all time high well over 80% of Americans believe that the media is attempting to sway public policies. People are simply deciding against the skewed practices and not buying the print or tuning out the news services. Advertisers are going elsewhere – to the blog sphere! So I ask again, think, what will we do when the Democrats tell us that the government must bailout the “too big to fail” news companies?

The Dems are relentless. Triggers, fines on the uninsured. They are just dead set to socialize the medical industry in the US. Some of the representatives are beginning to run a little scared. People in their districts are telling them to their faces that the healthcare legislation that includes a “government option” will not be acceptable – at any level. So if you are not on Medicare, self employed or a small business owner then under the latest Democrat proposal you will be FINED for not buying health insurance. Ok, lets walk through the logic. If I can’t afford insurance and I work and pay taxes I will be fined for not purchasing health insurance. But if I quit working and go on Medicare I don’t pay tax or a fine! WOW that was easy! I quit! Where do the Democrats think the money is going to come from? VOTE AGAINST INCUMBENTS – it is the only absolutely undeniable clear message we voters can send to legislators. YOU’RE FIRED! In other news… I recently blogged ...

Thank you Mr. Obama. You continue to bleed the citizenry dry. The Democrat controlled congress passed the new Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act of 2009 commonly known as the Credit Card Act bringing a new level of cost. Signed by Obama, now its law and takes effect August 2009. Yes banks will have to pay and just WHO do you think they will pass the fees to? This is another example where the Democratic Party controlled congress and Executive branch create new legislation without input from the people or the businesses affected by the legislation. What does this useless legislation force banks to do? On the surface it seems beguine. If you have a credit card your bank must issue to you your statement 21 days before the bill is due. That seems OK enough. However in practically, it ALSO includes all “open-ended” lending . Lets say you have a line of credit with your bank or Credit Union that is a multi-featured plan that allows you ...
