SLAP MY HAND CHARLIE
Charlie Rangel, 40 year Congressman from Harlem in NY. He just got reelected. Does that make him a Career Politician? He's 80 years old.
For over 2 years he's been charged with multiple House ethics violations. Finally, right after the election, of course, the House Ethics Committee finds him guilty of egregious ethical behavior. The activities that got him in trouble are very troublesome, including tax evasion and using campaign funds to pay personal legal bills. WOW! Another cheater in the House.
So what does the House Ethics Committee do? They "censure" him. Instead of expulsion, they slap him on the hand.
Expulsion appears in the Constitution. Censure does not. Censure is similar to a reprimand. It's a nothing penalty! It's a pass. It's letting the fox into the hen house knowing the fox is up to no good. Censure simply means Old Charlie will stand in the well of the House while the Speaker of the House rebukes him. That means Nancy Pelosi gets to take Charlie to task for his lack of ethics and honesty. The same Nancy who said "we are going to drain the swamp." Now Nancy, in case you haven't noticed, there is so much toxic waste in the swamp it's unlikely it will ever be drained during your tenure. That's because you are part of the pollution.
Now that the House has made their determination I wonder if the IRS and other agencies will investigate Charlie? You can bet they would if you or I or some other "commoner" were evading taxes. Anyone else would be looking at penalties, fines and interest.
This slap on Charlie's hand is a microcosm of the uncontrolled corruption in Congress. They never pay the price for their deeds. They just snicker and look the other way.

DEMOCRATIC FORTUNE TELLING
GREAT VIDEO. The DemoBrats in their own words looking into their Crystal Ball and warning us about their magic scheme to "fundamentally change" America. Pay attention to the dates, and be sure to listen carefully to Barnie Frank's words about housing. And the next time someone says the housing crisis and recession were caused by Bush send them this video.
The Dems have waved their Sorcerer's Wand and cast their Voo Doo Spell in an attempt to fulfill their chicanery. Thank goodness they will be Exorcised on Nov. 2.

KARL ROVE HAS FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE
Ye gads, I just saw Karl Rove bashing and trashing the GOP Senate primary winner from Delaware, Christine O'Donnell. Rove was absolutely apoplectic in his denouncement of her. He couldn't explain how a non-politician, who got into the primary race late, had a very small amount of money, could beat the great Mike Castle, who has been a RINO in Washington for 40 some years.
Well, golly gee, Karl, do you finally get it? This is a REVOLUTION. We are going to oust the political machine in Washington, Dems and Reps, who have been complicit in expanding government, growing our national debt pushing us towards bankruptcy, destroying our economy, but especially those who voted for the $787 billion stimulus bill that has failed to create any jobs.
So Karl, listen up! This isn't about a Republican majority in the House or Senate. A Republican majority won't do us any good if those Republicans continually vote with the Liberal Democrats. And that is exactly what Castle has done for decades.
Understand it, Karl. We Are Fed Up! And to the Republican Party, don't be such a sore loser. The people in Delaware have spoken loud and clear, as they have in many, many other states. It would be very wise for the "Party" to get behind her because she is going to be the next Senator from the Great State of Delaware.
And all of America is going to cheer her on to victory along with all of the other true Conservatives who will be joining her.

VOTE TOMORROW, SEPTEMBER 14
If you live in a state that has a primary tomorrow, September 14, you must get out and vote.
It's pretty clear that Americans have become extremely disillusioned with Obama and the leftist 'business-as-usual' that pretends to be "change you can believe in."
This year's midterm elections give Conservatives a chance to slam on the brakes and bring the big-spending, big-government, we-don't-care-what-you-want-we're-doing-it-my-way policies of Obama and the Liberals to a tire screeching halt.
To win a majority in the House Conservatives must defeat at least 39 sitting Democrats. This can be done, but it can't be done without YOU, the VOTER! Conservatives also have a chance to take the Senate. This can happen in November, but the first step is tomorrow's primary.
There are some great Conservative challenger candidates running for Congress and the Senate this year, people who are deeply committed to bringing about real "change" by restoring Constitutional government to Washington.

FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE IN YOUR DISTRICT AND THEN GO AND VOTE.
IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SAVE AMERICA FROM

2010 Election Platform
I saw an email the other day that had some interesting thoughts in it regarding things the public would like to see in a bill introduced in Congress as soon as the power shifts from the traitorous sludge currently in office. I like the ideas and thought you would too. I have listed them below along with my comments.
1. Term limits:
12 years only, lifetime limit. Serving in our government was never intended to be a lifetime job.
2. No tenure/No pension:
Our representatives collect a salary while in office and should receive no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress, everyone (past, present and future) participates in Social Security:
All funds currently in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system. Congress participates along with the American people. How long do you think it would take Congress to "fix" Social Security if their retirement was contingent upon its solvency?
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do:
It makes no sense that we have to purchase our own private retirement plan and also have to pay for their retirement plan.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise or any other benefits:
What efficiently run company allows the people in charge to propose and vote for their own pay raises, benefits, exemptions, etc.? What a nutty system! Congressional pay should rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. No more than that, ever.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people:
No more Cadillac system for the Elites and something different for We The People.
7. Congress must abide by all laws they impose on the American people:
No more exemptions from what they force on us. If it's good enough for us, then it's good enough for them.
8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/Senators are void effective 1/1/11:
The American People did not make any contracts with their representatives. The representatives made all of these contracts for themselves. Rather self-serving, isn't it? What a conflict of interest. No wonder they all lose their common sense when they arrive in Washington. It becomes a self-perpetuating job.
SERVING IN CONGRESS IS AN HONOR, NOT A CAREER. THE FOUNDING FATHERS ENVISIONED CITIZEN LEGISLATORS. THEY SHOULD SERVE THEIR TERM (S), THEN GO HOME AND GO BACK TO WORK.
I know many will say passing something like this is "impossible." But Congress has the lowest approval rating of any entity in Government in the history of this country. Americans are angry and the balance of power is likely going to change with the next elections.
Email, call or write your representatives, both Senators and Congressmen and demand that they introduce a bill like this in both Houses. Contact the campaigns of candidates currently running for office and ask them to pledge to introduce a bill like this as soon as they get to Washington.
It's guaranteed that whoever does it will become American heroes.

NOW IS THE TIME WHEN AMERICANS SHOULD JOIN TOGETHER
TO REFORM CONGRESS
THEY REPRESENT US - WE THE PEOPLE

The Refinance Train Wreck
Just in time for the November elections, Obama has proposed to "refinance" 15 million mortgages that are currently under water. Cost? 800 billion dollars. Also contained within the proposal is a plan to relax qualifying standards for home loans so people who don't qualify suddenly qualify. Isn't that what got us into the current housing mess?
I believe the American public is too smart to fall for this. Nothing is "free." The fun and games must end. Someone has to pay for this, and it won't be the "rich," it will be our kids and grandkids. This is a carrot being dangled in front of you, but it will enslave future generations to outrageous taxes. It's a slow motion train wreck waiting for the crash, and the crash is guaranteed to happen. Don't Fall For This At Election Time! Please!!
