It is time for the Taxpayer/Voters to take back our Country and we can do it by evaluating the type of elected officials we want and exercising our vote accordingly.

We elected our officials in South Carolina who were supposedly conservative Senators and Representatives to stand up for our South Carolina conservative principles. We now have a crisis, and they need to exercise these principles, by voting NO on this bridge/UAW bailout bill.

These loans, bailouts are not required to save the auto industry. What they would be doing by supporting them is give the UAW more time to spend the money on their outlandish benefits plan, and gain a stronger control, it will not change then status of the auto companies. The country can not afford these bailouts and more importantly the vast majority of the Americans do not want them approved.

Every time the liberal congress overrides the people we have gotten in deep trouble. In the last four years there has been a congress that seems to have put in place polices that are totally disconnected from what the people of our State and Country want. Why do you think this is happening? It can be said the Congress has and is being extorted. The Labor Unions are one of the major influencers along with Trial Lawyers Wall Street firms, and Environmentalist who control the way the Democrat party is ignoring the taxpayers. They are using their billions of dollars for campaign donations and demanding a return on their investment, they now have a strangle hold on the Congress.

This time it can not be said, if they vote for these massive bills, that they are doing it for the greater good of the country. This is for the greater good of the big money donor crowd. We, the taxpayers, have been taken out of the process altogether.  

Our forefathers did not come to this land to set up a government which was the same as the socialistic governments they left.

I don’t want any ownership in American Auto companies that can’t understand what to do when their tally sheets don’t look good and let themselves, over a ten year period, get into such a financial state that all of a sudden it’s either go to the taxpayers for money or go “Chapter 11”. I say let them go “Chapter 11”

What do the responsible taxpayers do when things get tough? They cut up credit cards, put off vacations and large purchases. Why aren’t the auto companies biting the bullet by laying- off workers, or cut back hours, or something novel like canceling those big bonuses, cut out the farm banks, and trim down the retirement and health benefits like other companies have done.

It appears to me that nobody, in Congress, has done the math on this and the other bailouts, that is the total they should be looking at. It will be in the Multi Trillions, and nobody alive today, will see these massive bills paid off. It will also be over 40% of our GNP, and my friends this is called Socialism. Hell, they even want an Auto Czar to dictate the use of the funds.

Dictatorship is now the next step for this Government if this bill does not get voted on or does not get passed if voted on. Even though some 78% of the taxpayers are against bailouts or government intervention of any kind the President, and treasury, will take some of the money already appropriated for the “financial sector”, (the $700 billion) which was voted and approved for that purpose, and bail the UAW out. This is an action that overrides the will of the people of a Democracy, and without a congressional vote of approval, which is specifically for this purpose, it constitutes a Dictatorship.

The Government of the United States of America, through the actions of the people that we elected, has committed monumental frauds right before our eyes. They did this by passing laws, approbation bills, and Earmarks favoring special interest groups that supported their reelection campaigns. They have imposed regulations without oversight on companies and institutions, then providing them with government guaranteed insurance covering their abuses.

We the people are the only ones that can put a stop to these types of abuses and the corruption we have been experiencing with this Congress and the last. The people have the power if you we want this to stop. Over the next two years we must evaluate our elected officials and the ones that have been holding this country back by accepting contributions from lobbing groups, special interest Political Action Committees (PAC) political fund raising organizations, or bundlers and earmarking funds for special interests in their State, vote them out of office.

Do you realize, there are elected officials in the Congress of the United States for 30, 40, and 50 years an have links and associations with all the groups mention above. They keep winning because they accumulate massive donations for their reelection campaigns, from all over, and turn loose the money power of the PACs, and other online political organizations, that spend money on radio and television advertising.

The Senators and the House Representatives only represent the people of their State or Congressional District and only the people of that State or District can vote for them. Donations for their campaigns should only come from individuals of the State and the District and not from local special interest groups such as Realtor organizations or local Labor and not from the parties national committees (DNC or RNC),or PACs of any type. These outside interests are what corrupt our election process. Just look at what happen in Alabama, if it weren’t for the determined people of that State ignoring the thousands of TV and Radio advertisings of these outside groups which spent Millions of dollars on, they wouldn’t have gotten the Senator elected that they wanted.    

We as taxpayers and voters should draw a line in the sand decide the number of terms an elected official should serve. In my opinion Senators should serve no more than three terms (18yrs) and the House Representatives no more than four terms (8yrs).

Terms limits for Congress will never become law because the Congress would have to approve a law requiring it.  So we the voters must do it when we vote. Remember, no matter how good you think the people are when you first elect them, the longer they stay in office, the more they will stink.
