This is an email I received from a good friend of mine. This makes a lot of sense. Thanks Sarge
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. Term Limits.
12 years only, one of the possible options below..
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!

At the Ft. Hood Memorial Service...The Crotch Salute Returns
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same." Ronald Reagan
At the Ft. Hood Memorial Service...The Crotch Salute Returns
I'm sorry folks, but is this the turkey that was elected President of our country?
You know, the United States of America ?
I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that, and also to honor the servicemen who died, or is he above that?
Shower us all with flowery words and dazzle us with B.S.
But actions speak louder. How many passes do you have to give this guy before you realize he is not one of us and is working on his own agenda and is not an American? He won’t salute our flag and pay respect to our troops but he will bow to a Saudi Prince.
This stinks, folks.
Pass it on if you feel the same way.

Here is an email I got that made too much sense.
The Lawyers' Party By Bruce Walker
The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party . Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a lawyer. Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer. John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer. Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress: Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different.
President Bush is a businessman. Vice President Cheney is a businessman. The leaders of the Republican Revolution:
Newt Gingrich was a history professor. Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill First is a heart surgeon. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976..
The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.
The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.
The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want and need, as the enemies of America . And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers' Party, grow..
The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of the world's lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as "spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you" and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!

Womens Rights Groups and Islamic Sharia Law
What I don't understand is organizations like NOW (National Org for Women) who don't or won't speak up about how women are treated under Islamic sharia law. If they are afraid they should just say they are afraid and disband. They could be brave and take a stand. Just my opinion, yours is welcome. While we still have freedom of speech.
President Obama's INTERPOL executive order signed December 17, 2009
This is the original executive order 12425 signed by President Reagan
By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including Section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669, 22 U.S.C. 288), it is hereby ordered that the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), in which the United States participates pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 263a, is hereby designated as a public international organization entitled to enjoy the privileges, exemptions and immunities conferred by the International Organizations Immunities Act; except those provided by Section 2(c), the portions of Section 2(d) and Section 3 relating to customs duties and federal internal-revenue importation taxes, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act. This designation is not intended to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which such organization may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action.
This order by President Reagen gave privileges and immunities normally afforded to foreign diplomats to INTERPOL as a courtesy and a sign of cooperation.
This is the executive order signed by President Obama on December 17, 2009
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words “except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act” and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.
INTERPOL now has powers greater than those afforded our FBI, CIA as amended by the new executive order.
President Obama has given free reign on our Constitutional rights to an international organization. They do not have to abide by the rights granted to us under the 4th Amendment.
They do not have to answer to anyone in the United States government including Congress and operate in complete secrecy.
Read the to executive orders closely. We are letting this country be given away when no one is looking.

The Audacity of Nancy Pelosi
I can't believe that Pelosi is asking for the backing of Catholic church to help with immigration reform. Here is a women who heads up a group that pushes for abortion and fully backs her party's attempt to institute socialism in the United States not to mention removing religious freedoms from the citizens. I hope the Catholics to not fall for this. I guarantee that if they do help her she will respond in kind by turning her back and urging her party to turn their backs on the Catholic people. She is only reaching out to the Catholics because of the large Hispanic following they have. Mark my words if the Catholic church doesn't give I believe the Democrats will try to divide the Catholic church and the Hispanics.
HR 45 Blair Holt Firearms Act Of 2009
I am outraged at the current administration. They are doing everything they can to take away our constitutional rights. The Bush admin was bashed for the Patriot Act as a loss of freedom, when in fact it may have prevented terrorist attacks. The Obama admin is whittling away at every right we have and they are doing on the sly. Is this what the democrats have in mind so they can institute control over the population. Eventually we not be citizens we will be subjects. Leave my guns alone quit taking away my rights. Congress still doesn't get it. Americans are getting fed up with their under handed tricks. They are wasting our money, time and future while they sit on their fat self righteous butts and we pay them to screw us over. Hey Congress wake up, you work for us and you are about to be fired start cleaning out your desk. Below is a brief out line of the act. I suggest you go online and read the bill for yourself. Those who don't own guns or are in favor of more gun control regulation watch out something you care about might be next. Tell Congress to keep their hands off our constitutional rights. I suggest reading the information on this website http://www.rense.com/general85/fire.htm and lots of other sites offering more insight into the HR 45 Blair Holt Firearms Act Of 2009. Did anyone hear about this on the news media?
You are fingerprinted
You supply a current Driver's License
You supply your Social Security #
You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing
Each update - change or ownership through private or public sale must be reported and costs $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail.
Guns must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.
The Government would have the right to come and "inspect" that you are storing your gun safely away from children punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.
I agree that guns should be safely stored, that's called personal responsibility. That is some thing Congress thinks we are incapable of because we are stupid and don't have the intelligence of legislator.

Fire Congress
Just when you think that Congress can't get any dumber, they don't let you down. These people are out of touch and insensitive to the real needs of this country and the American people. They are a bunch idiots and lairs. Sen. Dodd just got caught lying. The AIG bonuses are a blatant example of how congress works. Congress is pathetic. They have no clue of how to run this country. They are too busy serving their own interests and not those of their constituents. Nancy Pelosi is a joke, she is so blind and self serving that she is guiding us towards a national disaster. Wake up congress! Start doing something for the people of this country and not the select few who can line your pockets. I think we should just fire them all and start over. We the people have the power. Lets use it and send a message. If you can't or won't do the job, your FIRED. Use your vote and let them know that you are sick and tired of all the stuff that is going on in this country and especially congress. Send them emails, letters and phone calls to call them on the carpet and hold them accountable for their greed and stupidity. I would like to extend an invitation to Ms. Pelosi to spend some time with my family and take a look at the struggles of every day life to keep food on the table for my children. Hope you enjoy your raise, I haven't gotten one in years.
Political Experts from Hollywood? PLEEZ
I am sick and tired of hearing from Hollywood on how our country should be run or how we should vote. Everyone in America has the right to express their opinion. However the Hollywood types take to it an extreme level. They viciously bad mouth anyone they don't like. They use there standing as a celebrity to try and tell use how we should think and vote. The media,who is is usually stuck up their rear ends are very happy to report anything negative they can. That's how they make money, with negative news. These are the very same people who can't even control their own lives. They stay in trouble with their personal and public lives. They don't live in the real world as do the rest of us. They are pampered and catered to all the time. Just because they are celebrities doesn't mean that they know anything about anything. Some of them don't know anything about acting. They don't have the same struggles that the average American lives with. In my opinion they are a bunch of uninformed spoiled brats. They have their own agenda and really don't care about the average person. If they were really concerned why don't they take some of their millions and put it where their mouth is. Why don't they give large amounts of their fortune to orphans, seniors in need, go into poor neighbor hoods and fix up homes. No, they would rather visit safe spots with a large escort of armed body guards. Then they say things like war is wrong but they say they support our troops. How many have gone to Iraq or Afghanistan to entertain the troops. I don't mean just one PR showing in a safe zone, I mean taking a risk like the troops are and go all over and do several shows. Remember Bob Hope? How about WWII when Celebs all did their best to help. I have the highest regards for Muhammad Ali who came to where I was when all those other chickens were running their mouths. Thank you Mr. Ali, you made me feel better and brought a little bit of home with you. I also got to watch him slap the snot out of our Camp Champ who was no Chump. What was I thinking, the Hollydeadwoods probably would lose money. Limo and mansion payments are high and have you priced a private jet lately. Bottom line they is don't really care, they don't really know anything but we should listen to them because they are celebrities. Hollywood do me a favor, just SHUT UP! You could of course PUT UP if have the the real courage and conviction to do so. I for one doubt it. There are a very few exceptions to this and I thank them. Some celebs do stand up for America and are punished for it. From the same people who are spouting about free speech. Hypocrites! God Bless America. I'm sorry (snicker, no I'm not) that God thing just made some Hollywood know nothing mad. I don't think there is an immortal God in Hollywood just the mortal ones.
African American ?
I do understand that honoring your heritage is important. I do no not understand in this day and time the term African American. We are all AMERICANS. There is no one in this country that is originally from here, to include the "native" American Indians. All of our ancestors came from somewhere else. America is the great melting pot.
Lets face it you are either an American citizen or you aren't, you can't be both. I think that would cause an identity problem.
The term started as an culture awareness thing, and in its time it was a great idea. It helped to give Blacks a sense of pride in there ancestral heritage. Since for so long they were stepped on and held down. All the cultures represented in America should honor their ancestral roots. However, we are are all Americans and should be proud of the fact that even though this country is not perfect it has the best of opportunities and freedoms of any where in the world.
Can you imagine if every cultural group wanted their ancestry included on let's say an application. It could get out of hand. Irish American,Italian American, Samoan American, Welsh American and about 190 others not to mention the variations for example Welsh/Austrian/Catawba Indian American. There would be no room left on a job or credit application for your name or address.
I think it's time we all came together as Americans and celebrate what made this country great and that would be the chance to do great things that are not possible in other places of the world. The fact that we are Black, White, Latino, Asian or whatever is not important. What is important is that we are Americans. We have rights and freedoms unmatched anywhere. Perfect, no...but awful close.
We need to stand together as Americans and protect our country from those who would seek to destroy us.
I found some interesting history information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_american if you would like to look. It shows how far we have come.We still have a lot of work to do.Lets do it as one voice.
