Are you asleep out there?

We are being lied to by our government. Everyday. The "change" that some of you voted for is going to get crammed down our throats and the end result will be a dingy memory of what our country used to be.

Global warming does not exist. The earth is actually cooling. Why do you think they stopped calling the "crisis" "global warming" and started calling it "climate change"? Cap and trade is a huge energy tax that will put us at a huge disadvantage to the rest of the world. Do you think Russia or China will agree to this? NO!!!

Healthcare is not a crisis! Do you like your healthcare? Ok, there is a small population of uninsured out there we could cover with a few billion dollars per year - so cover them. But do we need to spend billions to junk what we have now? NO!! This is about government taking control of your lives, your health.

Here comes higher taxes! They will say, "oh well financial crisis, healthcare, climate change uh, sorry, promised not to, but somebody has to pay for all this and even though I promised not to, I HAVE to raise taxes to protect this for your children." Cap and trade is going to be a huge tax on everything - it will affect the economy top to bottom. You will see higher income taxes for healthcare if you allow this to continue. They will try to pass a VAT or value added tax. That tax will increase the value of all goods made in America. It will increase prices you pay for everything and drive manufacturers away from the US.

What does the federal government do well? What is the last thing they took on and you said "boy they did a great job with that..." Let's see - social security is bogus and bankrupting, medicare, medicade - not models of efficiency. Federal energy and education programs - no child left behind? Are you kidding me? We have thrown more money and federal bureaucracy at education and scores and performance continue to decline. Energy programs? What? Energy self-sufficiency? HUH? WAKE UP PEOPLE! CALL YOUR LEGISLATOR AND COMPLAIN LOUDLY AND OFTEN. The political class do not care about you, they care about their power and getting re-elected (their continuing power).

Term limits and ousting incumbents should be next on our lists. If we sit back they are going to get all this "change" done and it will be too late to undo it. It's time to act and take this country back! Folks this is bad and getting worse. We have got to do something.......God Bless America.
