One More Reason We Need Immigration Reform NOW!

Anchor babies we pay for, welfare we pay for, medical services we pay for...............

That doesn't even take into account the crimes against us they commit and the cost of their incarceration.

"Small-town crash sparks calls for illegal immigration crackdown in Mass". Liz Goodwin/ The Lookout/ today 9.29.11. "Ecuadoran Nicholas Guaman was charged with vehicular homicide for allegedly running down 23-year-old motorcyclist"  Link to article: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/small-town-crash-sparks-calls-illegal-immigration-crackdown-164248241.html.

This also happened right here in Austin not very long ago as well. It happened to a married man with a family, a consultant from Tennessee who left the airport and was hit by an illegal drunk driver before he ever made it to his hotel room a few miles away.

While fleeing from police, Jaime Bonilla Alvarado ran a red light and hit Robert Benn in his rental car, resulting in his death. He had a 2.0 blood alcohol level which is almost 2.5 times the legal limit. It was later publicized that Alvarado had been convicted of THREE prior DUI's. He now faces life in prison, at OUR EXPENSE!

The numbers these illegals cost the American taxpayer are STAGGERING! Why don't our elected officials do something about it? Why don't they fulfill the wishes of the majority of the American taxpayers?

We Need a REAL American for President, Not Another Elitist

Bought and paid for, signed, sealed, delivered. That is what it seems our current politicians and government are all about.

Have they forgotten, or did they ever know what the average Americans life is all about? What struggles, trials, and tribulations the majority of Americans are going through?

When a majority of them are millionaires and don't even need their 200K public servant salary, how can they even begin to relate? If they are millionaires why even bother? Unless of course they got that way by being in public office.

When I talk with other legal and taxpaying Americans, it seems we are all on the same page. So why is it so complicated? I think our politicians make it that way intentionally. Keep them divided and powerless. We need a candidate that will unite us in a common cause for the good of the whole. We need a real LEADER!

We need to DEMAND that our elected  officials abide by our wishes and desires or demand they be taken out of office. WE do outnumber THEM, and we can start on a state  representative level. It's not about one party or the other, it's about US.

Why do buget cuts only include taxpayer related benefits?

Well, I guess we are not shutting down America again, at least not until November 18th.

I think most Americans know that they need to live within their means. I also think that most are in agreement that our government needs to do the same.

But at what cost and to who? It seems the far right wingers always look to cuts from programs that benefit the taxpayers like Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Unemployment, and other "public" benefits.

In my book I make the statement and go into detail that our government has plenty of money, it's just how they choose to spend it.

I could think of numerous things to cut out of our budget to diminish and eliminate the deficit, and I'm sure many many Americans could as well. I just don't understand why our elected officials can't or won't? Possibly too much personal and political agenda?

At least they did give FEMA some additional funds, although not what was originally intended. I guess disaster struck Americans are less important to our politicians than "pork" and their cronies.

Far Right Wingers: Your "Boy" Ronnie Aint No Saint!

This post in in reference to a converasation I had with one of those so far to one side they can't see the forest for the trees. It's point is that most people ( regardless of party), can find fault and blame on either party if they choose to do so.

It's not one party it's both, it's our dysfuncional and corrupt government bought and paid for by lobbyist, Big Biz, and the ultra wealthy. Fighting it out amongst ourselves with more seperation and division will only continue to feed the fire these politicians love to see rage. My opinion is: generallythey are all one in the same.

I never said Obama's policies were "better" so don't start putting words in my mouth. As far as trickle down econ goes, the numbers support my opinion, and are supported by numerous other articles that state the same.

The shift of money and wealth continues, and the class distinctions grow ever wider.

I am going to beat this dead horse one more time: Do you really think that someone could not create the same argument against the conservative party?

Your 'Boy" (and most conservatives) "Boy" Ronnie, cut taxes originally, then raised taxes 11 times while in office, expanded government considerably, and brought the good old Wall Street Goldman Sachs thugs into our government's inner circle and policy.....bringing major implementations of the current stock market shell game ( that benefits who?)

He also INCREASED THE NATIONAL DEBT from 700 billion to 3 TRILLION!

He also signed the LARGEST CORPORATE TAX increase in history.

He also raised the gas tax.

Sounds like a freakin hero to me!

Quoted from the article " Ronald Reagan Myth Doesn't Square With Reality" from CBS News Political Hotsheet, 2.12.2011. by Brian Montopoli:

"Exactly the sort of policy prescriptions so widely condemned by todays
Reagan reverent conservatives", "As the right has enshrined Reagan as it's Patron Saint"

A lot of people have not forgotten the past, I think many of you hard right wingers are proving yourself as hypocrites. Especially when you continue to believe your own rhetoric. Those are FACTS for YOUR BOY RONNIE! 

From: Ten Things Conservatives Don't Want You to Know About Ronald Reagan", Alex Seitz-Wald, Think Progress, 2.05.2011

"Reagan fought a proxy war with the Soviet Union by training, arming, equipping , and funding Islamist Mujahidin fighters in Afghanistan. The Taliban and Osama Bib Laden (who was a prominent Mijahidin commander) emerged from these groups REAGAN HELPED CREATE".

Unemployment soared 10.8 %

Granted amnesty to 3 million undocumented illegal immigrants.

Illegally funneled weapons to Iran.........blah blah blah blah blah blah

When are people going to realize the problem is not ONE PARTY or THE OTHER?
It's OUR GOVERNMENT!

Government $16.00 Cupcake and $8.00 Coffee Anyone?

"THEY" just don't get it! BOTH PARTIES!

I'm sure you have all heard a story similar to this one because I'm also sure there have been THOUSANDS!

Cut this, Cut that, our politicians need to CUT, CUT, CUT.

Cut their own benefits? NO!

Cut budgets for their own agendas? NO!

Cut spending on programs that benefit them? NO!

Cut (or better yet eliminate) spending on Illegals benefits/programs? NO

Cut spending on programs that benefit the taxpayers/citizens? YES!

Could you please pass me one of those $16.00 cupcakes and an $8.00 coffee while we discuss it ? YES!

Read the article below. The DOJ  did just that (250 cupcakes @ $16.00 to be exact) for a legal conference in Washington. The DOJ spent 121 MILLION on "conferences" in fiscal 2008 and 2009,  "which exceeded it's own spending limits"! I'm sure this is "common practice" among most all of the taxpayer funded Government "meetings" and "functions" and is done on a regular basis.

Clinton: "The American Dream has been under assault for 30 years".

I have to agree.

I wrote about this very topic in my book "American Me?"/Chapter: "The American Dream, is it Really a Nightmare?"

Although some of my opinions on how and why may differ, the story line is the same and does parallel  the same line of thought.

We cannot continue to let our politicians take away what we have worked for, and what our forefathers fought and sometimes died for.

Watch Clinton's video below. The fact that he even said it gives it merit and reinforcement.

INSANITY: Repeating the same actions and expecting a different result.

Insanity? Yes I believe so.

When you look at our political history for the past few decades and then our current politicians ( both parties), do you start to see the insanity in it all? Some sort of repetitive pattern?

Our current politicians are corrupt, divided, and dysfunctional at best.

We need change in our country, real change.

We need a LEADER, that can put aside party differences and lead us forward, up and out of this mess.

We need someone with a real vision that reflects the majority of America's LEGAL CITIZENS wishes and hopes, not their own agendas and greed.

No more rhetoric, pointing fingers, blame, and business as usual.

More of the same will only create more of the same, and we Americans don't have time for that. Time has run out..

WE the PEOPLE. need to vote out the majority of incumbents and start anew, with a fresh and visionary direction and administration that will reflect and work to carry out OUR wishes. NO MORE BS!
