THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. . .

Let me put this in practical, everyday terms:

If you hired a babysitter for ten dollars an hour, only to come home and have her tell you she changed her mind...that she now charges $30
an hour.... would you hire her again?

If you hired a painter to paint your house white, only to come home and find it yellow, would you hire him again?

My confidence in this administration has diminished.... due to the following events:

FLU VACCINES 2009: In late July, the American public was told that 120 million vaccinations would be made available to Americans by late Fall, 2009.... (This was declared by Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health, on CNN)

To date, we have had 16 million to 20 million vaccines available.

This is noteworthy, please understand:
This year, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, our government – NOT private drug companies – is distributing the vaccine...This administration has taken over the process of distribution and HAS FAILED US...

E-VERIFY SYSTEM: Our E-Verify system, a 97-percent-effective program to check on the validity of Social Security Numbers throughout our country, has been discontinued. After two postponements by Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, the E-Verify system will 'lapse' ... This program was working effectively in tracing illegal immigrants; however, this administration has cancelled it. Please ask yourself whom your government is protecting...you or the illegals?

CASH FOR CLUNKERS PROGRAM: We are told by the Associated Press that the “Cash for Clunkers” Program, which was to provide $4,500.00 to each recipient participating, in actuality, each clunker has cost us as taxpayers $24,000.00. Your money and my money at work?

STIMULUS BILL: Yesterday, we were told by the Government Accounting Office that Stimulus checks were mailed out to thousands of incarcerated felons and dead people. Don’t you wonder how this could happen? So much for “don’t mess with Joe.”

FIRST-TIME HOME CREDITS: Today, the Associated Press tells us that the First-Time Home Credit of $8,000.00, has actually cost us $43,000.... Once again, a failure in transparency, a failure in tracking our taxpayer dollars on whitehouse.gov, a failure in accountability... Don’t you wonder how this could happen? But think again…

This is the same administration that wants to take over our healthcare. This is the same administration that knows 88% of us have healthcare and 73% of those consider their healthcare good to excellent. There is no need for our present healthcare to be overhauled – what we need is tweaking and refining: Portability (competition from state to state); Medicare and Medicaid fraud: Tort reform; and allowing for pre-existing conditions. Addressing these four issues would save billions of dollars and give us the healthcare we deserve.

Attention responsible Americans:

While many of us watched the 'balloon-boy scam" in the skies over Colorado, the real scam was taking place in our country's capitol, Washington D C.

Behind closed doors, the democrats were filling a 1990-page healthcare bill, disguising a government-run ‘public option’ as a “consumer option” or a “non-profit co-op”; DO NOT BE FOOLED – all of these are government-run options and will put private insurance companies out of business, and leave us with no alternative.

So much for transparency and no back-room deals.

I BEG YOU, please, call your senators (link to the left), express your opinion against any form of Government-run healthcare-public option. Write a letter to your congressman or call the White House Comment line, 1-202-456-1111...

PLEASE DO SOMETHING – before we witness this administration succeed in the over-reaching of our personal healthcare. If they are in charge of one-sixth of our economy, we surely are no longer 'the republic for which it stands..."

GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
