Faxes I have sent in corporation with a group called
“Citizens in Action” which I support and wish I could do
more. Faxes I have sent via Citizens in Action.Dear Senator… S. 3480 – the “Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act” (PCNAA)—recently approved by a Senate Committee, will be presented to US Senators for a vote in the near future. I am writing to urge you to vote AGAINST S. 3480—which will give the president a “kill switch” to the internet. Senators Lieberman and Collins, co-sponsors of S. 3480, claim that the intent of the bill is to limit the power already granted to the president by the “Communications Act of 1934”—which, according to Section 706 of the Act provides nearly unchecked authority to the President to “cause the closing of any facility or station for wire communication” and “authorize the use of control of any such facility or station” by the Federal government. The problem with this claim is that the “Communications Act of 1934” does NOT grant the president power over the internet! Everyone knows that when the “Communications Act of 1934” was drafted, the internet did NOT exist! In addition, that pesky little word “wire” would give them much grief if the president tried exercising power over the internet under the Act of 1934—the internet is not “wire”-driven! Even the name of the S. 3480 proves that fact—“Protecting CYBERSPACE…”—NOT “Protecting “wire-space!” Two things make me very suspicious of Leiberman’s and Collin’s claim that S. 3480 would actually limit the president’s power of the internet: 1. Senator Lieberman is quoted (on a CNN interview) as saying, “Right now China, the government, can disconnect parts of its Internet in case of war and we need to have that here too." (China must be in a constant state of war because as we all know, Chinese citizens have very limited access to the internet!) So, why would Lieberman make such a statement if it is not his intent to give the president the power to control the internet? 2. The recent passage of the DISCLOSE ACT (HR 5175) by the House—which was written in response to the "blow" the government took in "the Government vs. Citizens United" case--in which the Supreme Court sided with Citizens United because of issues involving the First Amendment. The DISCLOSE ACT gives the FEDERAL Elections Commission (FEC) jurisdiction over speech—specifically, speech over the internet. If it is NOT the intent to give the president the power to shut down the internet, then WHY the need for the DISCLOSE ACT? Why the need for S. 3480? BOTH of these Acts affect the First Amendment Rights of American citizens! I urge you to VOTE AGAINST S. 3480! Dear Perhaps if you really did your job, really spent some time investigating the situation, maybe even actually visited some of the areas adversely affected by illegal aliens, maybe then you wouldn’t be so willing to consider granting amnesty to the 20 – 60 million illegal aliens now residing in the United States. Would you be surprised to learn from your investigation that: 1. The majority of illegal aliens do NOT want to become US citizens! Not every person on this planet is “enchanted” with the idea of being an American citizen! What illegal aliens DO want are the FREE HAND-OUTS without “paying a price” for them. Employment, free medical care, in-state tuition, government-subsidized housing and free education for their offspring are but a few of the “luxuries” illegal aliens enjoy AT THE EXPENSE OF MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICAN CITIZENS! But—just like American citizens (in spite of what you may think) illegal aliens are not stupid! Becoming a citizen would mean they would have to pay taxes—actually contribute to the “system” that provides the above “amenities” that they currently receive for free! 2. In spite of what you may think, illegal aliens are not doing the jobs that Americans WON’T do! Americans are ready, willing, and able to do ANY job that will allow them to support their families. Unfortunately for American CITIZENS, our government takes a huge chunk of our income in taxes; illegal aliens are spared having to pay taxes. Considering that illegal aliens do not have their incomes taxed, PLUS the benefits they receive free, the “incomes” of illegal aliens amounts to TWICE that of the average American citizen! 3. Illegal aliens are NOT “homeless.” Each and every one of them left a home, crossing the United States border illegally, to partake of the free benefits the US government so freely hands out. 4. Illegal aliens do NOT contribute to the economy of the United States. Their presence here reduces available employment opportunities for American citizens; while at the same time, very little of the money earned by illegal aliens is not spent in this country—evidenced by the 20 billion dollars sent OUT OF THIS COUNTRY by illegal aliens EVERY YEAR! 5. American citizens DO welcome immigrants. Illegal aliens are NOT immigrants! They are criminals in every sense of the word! C’mon! I challenge you to do some investigating of your own. You might be surprised at what you learn! American CITIZENS want a better life, too! VOTE AGAINST AMNESTY! Dear Senator [your Senator’s names here] When your constituents elected you to office as a United States Senator, they were confident that you could be trusted to protect their rights and freedoms—especially those granted to them by the United States Constitution. When you took the Oath of Office as a United States Senator you swore to uphold the United States Constitution—the supreme law of our land. Very soon, you will be asked to consider illegally “altering” the US Constitution—the very document you swore to uphold—by allowing the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to have control over the Internet! HR 5175—the DISCLOSE ACT—recently passed by the House of Representatives—would extend the jurisdiction of the FEC over speech and in particular speech over the internet. The very fact that members of the current administration “bought off” the National Rifle Association (NRA) (by exempting NRA members from the DISCLOSE ACT) in order to ensure passage of the Act should be a “red flag” that the DISCLOSE ACT is un-Constitutional!! What interest does the FEDERAL Elections Commission have in controlling what American citizens can and cannot say on the internet? The obvious answer is to prevent American citizens from stating their opinions or voicing their concerns about any of our representatives in Washington, DC—especially if those opinions or concerns are not in favor of the current administration and its representatives! (Interestingly enough, the establishment media is also exempted from the regulations of HR 5175). Giving the FEC control over the Internet does nothing to protect American citizens—what it DOES do is take away our First Amendment Right—Freedom of Speech—granted to us by the United States Constitution! I am asking that you vote AGAINST HR5175—the DISCLOSE ACT! PLEASE do the job you were elected to do—protect the rights of your constituents! Concerned about my First Amendment Rights, Dear Mr. President: I understand that if you cannot secure enough votes in the Senate to grant amnesty to the millions of illegal aliens now residing in the United States, you are planning to issue an Executive Order giving Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano authority to grant amnesty to these millions of illegal aliens. Do you not understand that if you cannot secure enough votes in the Senate to pass your amnesty plan it is because the Senators are actually LISTENING TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS? Isn’t this something YOU should be doing? Do you not understand that legal American CITIZENS—those people that elected you to office; those people you swore to protect—DO NOT WANT AMNESTY granted to these millions of illegal aliens? Furthermore, I’m sure, as a Constitutional professor, that even YOU understand that the executive actions are typically used in special cases and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis—NOT as a “blanket action” granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens! To issue an Executive Order to grant “blanket amnesty” would not only be altering the United States Constitution; it would be unethical! America is already in crisis—as you well know. Millions of Americans are already out of work. Granting amnesty to millions of illegal criminals would increase the numbers of unemployed Americans. Your duty, Mr. President, is to AMERICAN CITIZENS—NOT illegal criminals! In the past, when America has been in similar dire economic straits, previous presidents have ordered all illegal aliens deported in order to provide jobs for Americans and to restore America’s economy. As President of the United States, shouldn’t you be considering a similar action? Do you have the same courage that former presidents had to carry out such an action? Perhaps, if you did, you wouldn’t have to worry about granting amnesty to secure votes in the next election! Perhaps American citizens would be so grateful to you for actually listening to them and standing up for them that they would express their appreciation at the polls? Why not give it a try? NO TO EXECUTIVE ORDER TO GRANT AMNESTY! FAX: Confirmation Hearings of Elena Kagan Dear Honorable Member of the United States Senate: On June 28th, the Senate will begin the confirmation hearings of Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the next Associate Justice for the United States Supreme Court. As a member of the U.S. Senate, you will be selecting a life appointment for “1/9 of 1/3 of the U.S. government.” If confirmed, Ms. Kagan’s appointment will have a huge impact on the United States for “decades.” For this reason, I urge you to be thorough in your examination of Ms. Kagan—don’t be afraid to ask the “tough questions” and listen closely to the answers she gives. In preparing your questions for Ms. Kagan, please consider the following: * Ms. Kagan is a radical liberal. She supports Obama’s agenda of transforming the United States into a socialist country. As the Washington Post reported, in her confirmation hearings for Solicitor General, Kagan said part of her role was to "best defend ...the positions of the Obama administration." * Ms. Kagan is also known to be a virulent anti-military radical. When she was Dean of Law at Harvard University she expelled military recruiters and ROTC from campus in defiance of The Soloman Act (signed into law by President Clinton)--which states that in order to receive federal funding, schools must allow recruiters on campus. She also hates ROTC programs—which she has argued against in writing and speeches! We can’t afford to let another activist judge on the court, especially not someone so against our troops as Elena Kagan. * Rather than relying solely on the U.S. Constitution in making judicial decisions (as our forefathers intended), Ms. Kagan has stated (quoting Carter) that to “decide the hard cases that rise to the level of Supreme Court review, justices must use their judgment. When they do that,” Kagan said (again citing Carter), “their ‘own experience and values become the most important data.’" * Further, although Obama claims Ms. Kagan is one of "nation's foremost legal minds," her known record contradicts that. She has the least amount of experience of any nominee in the last three decades. Her judicial experience is zero, as is her real-world experience, having spent most of her career in academia or working as a Democratic Party insider. * Finally, it seems Ms. Kagan is doing a “flip-flop”-- Kagan wrote in 1995 that the confirmation process had become a “charade” because nominees were not answering direct questions, and said they should have to do so. Now, (obviously because she herself is a nominee) she says she no longer thinks nominees should have to answer direct questions. Although Ms. Kagan is being touted as “one of the people,” she is anything BUT! As a representative of the people, I urge you to VOTE AGAINST confirmation of Elena Kagan as Supreme Court Justice! Text of Fax: Dear [Names inserted here] One of the complaints from those opposed to the passage of Arizona’s SB 1070 is: in asking for a suspected illegal alien’s “papers” it will infringe on his/her civil rights. Please help me understand this claim by answering the following two questions: 1. What about MY civil rights as a law-abiding CITIZEN of the United States of America? 2. Exactly what civil rights should be granted to illegal aliens who are criminals? Another complaint of SB 1070 is that it will require “immigrants” to produce papers showing his/her identity and proof of the legal right to be in the United States. I don’t understand the problem with this! As a United States CITIZEN, I must show ID when: 1. Pulled over by the police. 2. Making purchases on my department store credit card. 3. When I show up for a doctor's appointment. 4. When filling out a credit card or loan application. 5. When applying for/renewing a driver's license or passport. 6. When applying for any kind of insurance. 7. When filling out college applications. 8. When donating blood. 9. When obtaining certain prescription drugs. 10. When making some debit purchases, especially if I ' m out of state. 11. When collecting a boarding pass for airline or train travel. These are but a few of the instances where proof of identity is required, but the point is, we CITIZENS of the United States are required to prove who we are nearly every day! (Unless, of course, your name is Barack Obama!) Why should people who are in this country illegally be exempt? For that matter, perhaps you can answer the question: Why shouldn’t we, why DON’T WE, guard our borders as closely as every other country in the world? NO AMNESTY! NO IMMIGRATION REFORM! To: [Representatives names here] A Report from the Government Accountability Office (GOA) http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d05646r.pdf : Of the 55,322 illegal aliens studied, researchers found that they were arrested a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. * They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. * 49% had previously been convicted of a felony, 20% of a drug offense; 18% a violent offense, and 11%, other felony offenses. * 81% of the arrests occurred after 1990. * 56% of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions. * Defendants charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. 90% had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, 50% had been arrested for violent or drug-related felonies. Scary? You bet! And this report was from 2005! In 2005, the GOA estimated there were 7 million illegal aliens in the United States. Recent estimates put the number of illegal aliens at 12 to 20 million! Even scarier—the statistics posted above only reflect the illegal aliens that ICE actually caught! So—now, in 2010, you can DOUBLE those stats above; add in those that are never caught by ICE—and tell me… Just WHO are the “victims” here? The illegal aliens—whose very first footstep onto American soil is a criminal act? OR… The innocent Americans—the victims of illegal immigrants who love to commit crimes in the U.S.—not to mention their love of our social services, education and health care systems--all put on the tab of the American taxpayers? You decide! VOTE AGAINST AMNESTY! VOTE AGAINST IMMIGRATION REFORM! FAX: NO TO AMNESTY As you are aware, the members of Congress are spending time drafting new legislation that will give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. If amnesty is granted to the illegal masses, Democrats could very easily win the November 2010 elections and remain in power! Help us fight against amnesty for these criminals by requesting to send the fax below. Text of Fax: Dear [Representative’s name], As a LEGAL citizens of the United States, I call on you, a representative of the legal citizens of your district, to OPPOSE any form of “comprehensive immigration reform” (mass amnesty) and to enforce the existing immigration laws of our country. While immigration into our country has always been allowed and encouraged, it was accepted when the people immigrating did so under the laws of our country. Now we are being inundated by 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants who are using the services of our country illegally, causing untold millions of dollars of costs, and driving jobs away from millions of LEGAL Americans. You have a responsibility to the LEGAL American citizens to uphold our country’s laws and I am demanding that you do so. Amnesty for illegal immigrants will do nothing but open the doors for more illegal immigration and this country simply cannot allow this intrusion across our borders and into our pocketbooks. Yes, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” but bring them legally. I hereby demand that you do everything possible to OPPOSE any form of “comprehensive immigration reform” (mass amnesty) and, instead, work to bring about ethical reforms to our immigration policies. A LEGAL American Citizen Against Amnesty, FAX: IMMIGRATION Our government seems to think that the illegal immigrant problem facing our country should be solved by granting these criminals amnesty! Currently, they are busy developing legislation that will do just that! Perhaps if we make our elected officials aware of how other countries handled this situation, they would be willing to listen to our demands concerning illegal immigrants. If not, then we should let them know how we plan to handle it come November 2010! Text of Fax: Dear [representatives’ names here], IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS. IF YOU GO INTO CHINA ILLEGALLY, YOU ARE CONSIDERED A SPY AND GET HARD PRISON TIME… IF YOU GO INTO GERMANY ILLEGALLY, YOU GET A HEFTY FINE, WORK IT OFF OR PAY IT OFF, THEN DEPORTED… IF YOU GO INTO ENGLAND ILLEGALLY, YOU ARE IMMEDIATELY JAILED AND DEPORTED IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY... BUT—IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET: 1. A DRIVERS LICENSE 2. A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD 3. WELFARE 4. FOOD STAMPS 5. FREE HEALTH CARE I guess I still don't understand... If our lawmakers cannot uphold our laws, then maybe it’s time to replace them with those who will! GO GREEN! RECYCLE CONGRESS!! FAX: No To UN Small Arms Treaty T0: [Representatives names here] While Mr. Obama appears before the public and tells American citizens that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, Secretary of State Clinton is working (with Obama’s full knowledge and permission) behind the scenes—committing the U.S. to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. What this means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment. * If you believe that the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Second Amendment are the supreme law of the land; and * You oppose the international licensing requirements, international gun registry database and international ban on all private sales that will be included in the United Nation’s Small Arms Treaty; then You MUST OPPOSE any attempt by the United Nations to subvert or supersede our Constitutional rights! Vote AGAINST ratification of the UN’s Small Arms Treaty! FAX: NOMINATION OF ELENA KAGAN2 Dear Senator [Names inserted here] You will soon be asked to vote to affirm Elena Kagan’s life-time appointment to the Supreme Court. Please use the following criteria in determining how you will vote on Ms. Kagan’s nomination: 1. Judges must interpret the Constitution of the United States as written and not attempt to modify it, either by inventing new rights or by ignoring or diluting rights already there. The Constitution already provides an amendment process that gives that power to the people and their elected officials. 2. Judges must not use their positions to replace the text of the law and Constitution of the United States with their own personal feelings or agenda or "life experiences." Nor should they allow empathy, political favor, or political identification to affect their legal decisions. To do so is to engage in judicial activism. 3. Judges must understand that the Federal government has no power if the Constitution does not explicitly provide it. The Founders did this to maximize personal and economic liberty. The Constitution reserves all other rights to the states and to the people. 4. Judges must respect the delicate checks and balances and the separation of powers among the branches of government, refusing to become a tool of either the Legislative or Executive branches, and they must be prepared to invalidate efforts of either branch to overstep its constitutionally delegated powers. 5. The Constitution is an American document, and declares that it shall be "the supreme Law of the Land." Foreign law has no place as precedent or authority in the interpretation of the Constitution. Please vote AGAINST the confirmation of Elena Kagan! FAX: CAP AND TRADE Kerry, Lieberman, and Graham have unveiled their Cap and Tax legislation! This massive piece of legislation will do nothing to help the environment—it is only a means of placing a heavier tax burden on American citizens while at the same time, creating more job losses! And Obama is trying to sneak this legislation through by by-passing a vote in Congress, using the EPA to pass Cap and Tax! Please request to send the fax below to urge your Representatives and Senators to S.J. Res. 26 (of Senator Murkowski) which is an attempt to disprove the EPA rules AND to urge them to vote AGAINST the Kerry/Lieberman/Graham Cap and Tax bill! Dear [representatives’ names here], Obama and the members of his administration just won’t be happy until every America citizen is standing in a soup line, dependent on “big-brother-government” for their next meal, will they? First, they used every underhanded, dirty trick in the book to pass obamacare—even going so far as to bribe and buy votes in order to get it passed. Now obama wants to pull the same dirty, scheming tricks to pass the massive Kerry/Lieberman/Graham Cap and Trade tax legislation! Obama’s devious plan is to circumvent a vote in Congress and use the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a political cover to push through this legislation. Using the EPA to pass legislation is un-Constitutional and therefore illegal! Show me where in the Constitution it allows for any government body other than Congress and the Senate to pass legislation that will become law in the United States of America! The Kerry/Lieberman/Graham Cap and Trade tax legislation will prove detrimental to this country. Instead of creating JOBS, as Obama promises Americans over and over again, the passing of this bill will result in the LOSS of more jobs—at a time when unemployment in this nation is at 9.9%! You don’t have to take my word for it—read the report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO): The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has analyzed the research on the effects that policies to reduce green house gases would have on employment and concluded that. . . .job losses in the industries that shrink would lower employment more than job gains in other industries would increase employment, thereby raising the overall unemployment rate [italics mine]. Americans are already struggling to make ends meet! The “gas tax” and the rising energy costs, (in Obama’s own words—“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket”), along with rising unemployment created by this massive piece of legislation would only serve to increase the burden on the American people. To this end I urge you to SUPPORT Senator Murkowski’s resolution to disprove (S.J.Res. 26) these intolerable rules from the EPA. I also urge you to vote AGAINST the passage of the Kerry/Lieberman/Graham Cap and Trade legislation! FAX: Internet Federal legislation introduced in the Senate this week would give President Obama the power to declare a cybersecurity emergency and then shut down both public and private networks including Internet traffic coming to and from compromised systems,” Read the full article. Additional information about the Cybersecurity Act of 2009. The legislation was sponsored by West Virginia Democrat John Rockefeller and co-sponsored by Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine. The bill, S773 and S778, entitled the “Cybersecurity Act of 2009” is being considered for discussion in the Senate now. If you value having access to the internet, it is imperative that we begin contacting our Senators concerning this issue now. Cybersecurity Act of 2009. Text of Fax: Attention: United States Senators It has come to my attention that legislation, known as the Cyber Security Act of 2009 (S 773 and S 778), sponsored by Senator John Rockefeller (W.VA-D) and co-sponsored by Senator Olympia Snowe (ME-R) has been introduced in the Senate. This legislation would give the government direct and complete access to the personal, financial, and medical records of every internet user, public and private. Not only is this a blatant invasion of the privacy of every American citizen, it is also an attack against the First Amendment of the United States Constitution—the document you are sworn to uphold and protect. In addition, the Cyber Security Act of 2009 will afford the president the power to totally shut down internet service, both public and private, in the event of a “cyber-emergency”—of which the meaning and need of such an emergency is very vague. This legislation is a direct contradiction of the President’s and the Democratic Congress’s stand against such intrusion of privacy of the former administration. It is my understanding that the Obama Administration is trying to avoid making the same mistakes and to avoid any similarities to the Bush Administration. This legislation would put the Obama Administration on the very same level! Please protect every citizen’s right to privacy and to free access of the internet, including your own! I urge you to vote NO on the Cyberspace Security Act of 2009! FAX: Internet II Our government seems to think that the illegal immigrant problem facing our country should be solved by granting these criminals amnesty! Currently, they are busy developing legislation that will do just that! Perhaps if we make our elected officials aware of how other countries handled this situation, they would be willing to listen to our demands concerning illegal immigrants. If not, then we should let them know how we plan to handle it come November 2010! To: [your senator] cc: [your other senator] I am writing to request that you convey a “NO” to the FCC in regards to formalizing “Net Neutrality” guidelines. I understand the FCC vote on October 22, 2009 was a means to initiate the debate. The FCC needs to understand that we want a free and open market; one that allows for continued creativity and competition. Internet users must be allowed to exercise their freedom of speech and be protected from any threat that might violate their 1st Amendment rights. As your constituent, I want you to hear my voice. I appreciate your taking the time to read my letter. As your boss, be advised that we voted you into office to do the will of the people and if you can’t do that, we will find someone that will. Sincerely, FAX: MEXICO This fax outlines the benefits given to illegal aliens in a unique way. I don’t think we would get quite the same welcome if one of us tried to cross the border as suggested in this fax. The fax is based on an email I received. I do not know who the original author was but I would be more than happy to give him credit for this well written piece. Dear [Representative’s name], I'm planning to move my extended family (18-20 mouths) to Mexico, and I would like you to help me. We're planning to simply walk across the border into Mexico. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. Please tell your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over and I will be expecting the following: 1. Free medical care for my entire family. 2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. All Mexico government forms need to also be printed in English. 3. I want my kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history. I want my kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch. 4. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. I plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws. 5. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer. 6. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. 7. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start, and of course I want to be able to vote in all the local and national elections. 8. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. Thanks for all your help. Sincerely, FAX: BIDEN FAX The Democrats allowed VP Biden to appear in public and speak and, as usual, Mr. Biden “opened mouth—inserted foot!” At last week's Summit, Vice-President Biden stated, "I am always reluctant after being here 37 years to tell people what the American people think. I think it requires a little bit of humility to be able to know what the American people think. And I don’t." Really, Mr. Biden? But…in all fairness to Mr. Biden, the Democrats do keep him secluded…maybe they prevent him from hearing the news as well as contributing to it? Guess it’s time to bring Mr. Biden up to speed and let him KNOW what the American people think! Help us “educate” VP Biden by requesting to send him the fax below! Dear Vice-President Biden, At the recent Healthcare Summit you were quoted as saying: "I am always reluctant after being here 37 years to tell people what the American people think. I think it requires a little bit of humility to be able to know what the American people think. And I don’t." For the life of me, I cannot understand how this could be possible! For the past year and a half, the American people have been voicing their opinions (at times, quite loudly!) concerning the proposed Healthcare Reform legislation. Perhaps it might help if I refresh your memory…We have: * Spoken out at Town Hall meetings * Sent millions of letters and faxes and made millions of phone calls * Marched on Washington, DC—over a MILLION of us!—09/12/09 * Attended rallies across the nation multiple times And what were we saying? What do we think about the current Healthcare Reform legislation? WE DO NOT WANT HEALTHCARE REFORM! FAX: IN OR OUT On his show the other night, Glen Beck presented a simple 5 point pledge and urged that our congressmen sign it. The purpose of this fax is to see if they will. Are they IN or OUT? Dear [member of congress], President Obama has stirred up a hornet’s nest by trying to cram his liberal agenda down our throats. There are now MILLIONS of people that want to clean house in 2010. Please look over the pledge below and let us know if you are IN or OUT. The Five In or Out 2010 Pledges: 1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized. 2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded. 3. I believe more than four decades of US dependence on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas and coal as necessary. 4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why and I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over US citizens. 5. I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet. I have heard that as many as 50 seats will be replaced. It should be an interesting election. Sincerely, FAX: 10 4 10 Member Information: A message to all members of Sovereignty Alliance and Citizens in Action: PLEASE PERFORM THIS ACTION EVERY MONTH. SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!! 1O 4 10 TENTH AMENDMENT REMINDER! On the 10th of every month send the following message to four of your Representatives at different levels of government. 10 minutes of time for the 10th Amendment. Not too much to ask. Thomas Jefferson described the Tenth Amendment as “the foundation of the Constitution” and added, “to take a single step beyond the boundaries thus Specially drawn ... is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.” Pursuant to the Tenth Amendment, the government of the United States has the power to regulate only matters delegated to it by the Constitution. Yet, the Constitution says nothing about saving corrupt businesses “in the event they are too big to fail.” Nowhere does it say, government should pay for mortgages “if too many people are irresponsible.” And nowhere in the Constitution, can it be read, that private banks can use the American people as collateral. It is time the Federal Government did what it was told! In honor of the 10th Amendment, we Americans can send our representatives in every level of government a simple reminder on the 10th of every month by simply sending the following fax: (When you send this fax please indicate the names of the 4 congressmen or White House staff you want it sent to) Text of Fax: Dear [representatives’ names here], This is a friendly reminder that I still believe in the 10th Amendment. Please represent me accordingly or we will replace you with someone that will. Thank you, A registered voter [YourName, State/District goes here] |
