Many, many Americans sold their country, children and grandchildren for pennies on the dollar. They put a price on their heads! Never in our Nation’s history have we allowed so many things to be swept under the rug. Americans have allowed CNN and other liberal news media to elect their president. 

What were you thinking or were you thinking when President Obama’s past was not disclosed. Character is the man and not one of you knows anything about the man. None of us know if he’s a citizen of our country, what his real past is or where he’s been hiding for 20 years. But, there’s one thing for sure as the story unravels and it will unravel, you will learn the truth.

Americans have been sold down the river by one of the most powerful groups of people in our United States (radicals) and we’re too busy to do our homework. Hillary Clinton was taken down by this group of people and suppressed – she knows the truth and why she didn’t step forward an expose President Obama is beyond me. 

My prayer for America this morning is for the ones who will suffer from this new regime – our military, our children, the middleclass, and the investors who keep our country vibrant. I pray that John McCain and Sarah Palin will once again stand up for our country and fight for all of us.

Before President Obama takes the oath in January, here’s a need to know list that must be completed.

1. Total exposure by the FEC on his campaign monies
2. Names of his community organizations that he so willingly handed out tax payers money via grants, contractors etc…
3. Total disclosure on the purchase of his home – the sale and purchase information is vital at this time. 
4. Expose all Democrats involved in the Freddie and Fannie ruckus and let them serve their time behind bars.
5. Freeze the remaining money for the bail out until a group of the world’s top economists are selected to direct the use of our money – expose the reasons that the bailout money was necessary to the American people.
6. Americans must know each bill presented by President Obama, including the earmarks before it is passed – we need a voice in all government operations at this time.
7. Investigation into Pelosi, Dodd, Barney Frank and Reid’s activities regarding our monies spent before and after the bailout – they need to go!

The news media was a major player in the Presidential Campaign and now they should help get us out of this mess before any new business is initiated in the White House. They stepped out of the arena of “journalism” and became an evil political machine – every man and woman who has been a part of this “cover up” should not just be reprimanded, but fired. There are many Americans like myself who do place country first at all times – we’ve been the first to open our arms to all races, all nationalities and help them realize the “American Dream.” But, this Presidential Election has been one of the most disgraceful, ugly events in all of our history.

“May God Bless America.”

We believe in “One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All.”  We believe that the leader of our Nation must have a great track record in leadership along with a good reputation.  Barack does not have a track record and his reputation has been more than a little questionable!

We believe that our leader must place our country and children first – Barack wishes to place special interest groups, radicals and government first. We believe that a man’s color has nothing to do with his ability to lead our country during this time of recession.   Race doesn’t affect a man’s leadership ability, but lack of experience, poor choices and poor decisions does. 

We believe that parents are the ones to raise their children and the ones to decide what community projects they wish to support. We’ve always stepped forward during a crisis in our country lending a helping hand to those in need.  

We want a man who will stand toe to toe in a bipartisan manner with our corrupt government leaders, regardless of the political party. We want a leader who will eliminate all of the excess baggage in our government, one who will ruthlessly prioritize and place his country first.

We believe in John McCain, not because of color, but because of his stellar character and reputation. Michelle, “we whiteys” have always loved our country and Barack, we’re not an unjust Nation. We the people believe in our legacy left by our forefathers, “One Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice For All.”

What Will Happen To Our Military’s Votes

Is the voting process for our Military still full of flaws and glitches – do they still have to request an absentee ballot, which conveniently gets lost on its way back to the states. The statistics from the last Federal Election state that only about 30% of the absentee ballots get counted. These are the men and women who deserve to have their voice heard – they’re the ones who understand what is necessary to keep our country free from terrorists and other enemies. 

As most Americans know, Mr. Obama doesn’t waste much time worrying about our Military – if it were left up to him our boys and girls protecting us from terrorists, providing hope to other countries and ensuring our freedom would pretty much do without the bare necessities. Just check out Obama’s voting record if you have any doubt what he thinks about our military.

Yet, Mr. Obama has insured 18 year olds, minority groups etc. that they will be bussed, carried or wheel barrowed to the polls on November 4 th. - Acorn and Hope buddies made sure they were registered even if they weren’t legal. 

Regardless of Obama tactics, we have an awesome group of men and women protecting us and fighting for our freedom; they are the ones who step forward to keep their country safe – the greatest sacrifice one can give is to lay down their lives for their loved ones. No other group of Americans deserve the honor, praise and support that our brave our brave Military warrants.  

Here are two questions that need answered immediately; (1) Will all of our Military men and women get to vote, and if they do will it be a repeat from last time where the absentee votes just conveniently got lost or chewed up or misplaced????? (2) Who is in charge of our military’s voting process – don’t think it’s our government, because it appears they have once again been left out in the cold.

As Always, Annie

The community projects you keep telling us about aren’t a reality, because you don’t give us names of your former employers, nor do you give us specifics about the many government grants, contractors and tax dollars you used to spread the wealth.

Your campaign funds have turned into American’s night mare – we don’t want foreign countries, fake citizens or terrorists feeding your funds or messing with our country. 

The fact that you ignore FEC, the news media and the people of our country refusing to acknowledge your actual backers and supporters makes one feel that you’re hiding your head in shame. David Axelrod and your immediate Democratic camp can’t hide forever – it’s much better to take your hit now than wait for future repercussions.

This morning I realized nothing that this grandmother says at this time will get America’s attention, but there are two drummers marching to the same tune that need to be heard.

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher from Toledo, Ohio is worried about your tax plan, which is very difficult to understand, (1) You keep changing it, and (2) There’s no way 95% of the people will receive a tax break. Over 40% of Americans don’t pay taxes, Mr. Obama. So thanks to “Joe,” he had nerve enough to stand up and speak for many small businesses in America.

Mr. Obama, Joe Wurzelbacher, like Sarah Palin is one of us – he was our voice for a brief six minutes. You probably didn’t hear him, Mr. Obama because you march to a different drummer.

Mr. Obama did you stop to listen to Joe Cook, one of America’s brave who fights for our freedom and the freedom of other. Joe said, “Freedom is always worth the price and you Mr. Obama show disrespect for our servicemen and their sacrifice for our country.”

Go to You Tube and search for Joe Cook. America, the two Joes said it all – are you marching to their drummer? “May God Bless America.”

Americans are being devoured by a evil “Radical Machine” starting back in the 1930’s with Saul Alinsky  - by the time we hit the 60’s the government was not only conditioned and living the rules of Radicals, they were contributing billions of dollars to various community organizations via tax payers money.

Shortly thereafter gigantic social service organizations had been formed and the “Wheel of Radicalism” was well under way. Do your homework, study your government history and see how Obama and gang have been skimming monies from the government via grants and contractors since “Hector was a Pup.”

This Presidential Election isn’t about Obama V. McCain – it’s about the Radicals v. McCain. Obama is just a pre programmed robot, a creation by Ayers, Wright, Acorn, Rezko, the Weathermen, Annenberg, Woods foundation and the list continues on and on….

Want to know what Mr. and Mrs. Obama have been doing recently starting back in 1993 – talk with the
Cook County register, Gene Moore. Start investigating the Chicago Gang with Richard Daley and Daley’s personal strategist David Axelrod, who by the way is Obama’s chief strategist.  Axelrod is one of the strong arms behind the “Radical Wheel” and he’s not about to let Obama’s murky past mess up the Democratic Presidential campaign.

Obama and gang are professionals at skimming monies from the government via grants, earmarks, contractors  and other questionable foreign sources. Illinois took one hit after another as Obama treated himself to taxpayer’s money.   Obama made sure that Michelle’s cousin in charge of the Blue Gargole group was taken care of with government money.  

Obama and gang will direct and control your children’s education, your taxes will sky rocket and your voice will no longer exist.   Individual choice will be kicked to the curb and government will control. Once again I state this Presidential Race isn’t between two men – it’s between a group of powerful radicals throughout our country and Senator McCain and Sarah Palin.

Palin threw a damper into Daley, Axelrod and Wrights plans – they were scared beyond words that one women, “the all American women” could thwart their plans of 50 plus years. Why do you think Biden was selected and not Hillary Clinton?   Obama and gang couldn’t control Hillary and they need a scape goat to fill the shoes of Vice President. 

If some Americans are willing to throw their voice, their freedoms, the “American Dream” and their children under the bus for the new “Radical” life, there’s not much the rest of us can do about it, but support Senator McCain & Sarah on November 4, 2008. Obama is only a convenient fixture, a name piece for this “Radical Wheel.”   Obama may think he’s going to be able to control the all powerful, but it will never happen because Pelosi, Reid and Dodd are the ones at the helm in our government.

He was a disaster during his time in Chicago until he stepped over into the Chicago Politics in the mid 1990’s and there he’s lived happily ever after, and Chicago remains corrupt and controlled by the Radicals This is without a doubt the most critical time in America’s history and Americans need to once again become the “Voice of America.” 

The “Wheel of Radicalism” has been in the making for 70 plus years and its spokes include terrorists, lobbyists, and special interest groups all over the World. So now, folks you know where the unlimited funds for Barack Hussein Obama comes from – and the ironic thing is our tax money has now returned to haunt us.

 The famous infomercial did two things: (1) It reminded us of the Ross Perot days, and (2) There was a distinct connection between it and the old court room trials in the 30’s. Obama like Ross talks a lot, but has trouble connecting the dots. Ross was a billionaire, and like Obama had an intense desire to control, to possess and manipulate all things to suit himself and his immediate needs. 

Picture Barack in his jammies talking with David Axelrod (Obama’s chief strategist) – David let me talk, let America see my face again, I’m smarter than the jury (Americans) – I’ll slam dunk them once again with my soft shoe shuffle. By now Barack is jumping on the back of the couch like Tom Cruise coaxing David to make a 30 minute infomercial happen. 

David knows who’s paying his bills and reluctantly agrees to the infomercial. David is tired of trying to patch, put band aids on Barack’s past and present history – he’s tired of making up stories to FEC about the campaign funds. He hates the fact that Walter Fauntroy gives hard evidence that Kenya was Barack’s birthplace.

David and the Democratic Camp scramble in one of the biggest cover-ups in all of America’s history. They didn’t vet Obama, which was their first big mistake; little did they know that his track record was covered with one smudge after another. They’re tired of hiding Michelle Obama from the press and literally shake in their shoes when she opens her mouth to talk. 

Democrats have used and abused Hillary and Bill Clinton many times during his Presidential campaign. The “Triplets” Pelosi, Dodd & Reid continue to misuse and abuse our government, country and most of all our families. It would be best to bury our money than allow the terrible three to get their hands on the “Bailout money.”  But the worst is yet to come for the Democratic Camp, because Obama, just like “Humpty Dumpty” seems to be falling apart at the seams. 

When the infomercial was aired, the first thing that ran thru my mind was the children’s nursery rhyme “Humpty Dumpty.” It went something like this, “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall – Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.” “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.” 

Much like the nursery rhyme, the Obama Dumpty is falling apart and the Democrats are down to 4 days and counting. Their Obama Dumpty is basically a fairytale without a beginning or ending – his past a mystery, his college days a blur, his community service activities are questionable, because of the company he kept. His track record in the Illinois and US senate is weak, full of no shows and the inability to lead or make wise decisions.

When Dumpty met behind closed doors in Iraq and tried to pull the wool over the Iraqi’s eyes, the Democrats just cringed. During his debate with John McCain about foreign affairs, they cringed again as he suggested having a tea party with the terrorists without any pre conditions.

His connection with infanticide goes way back to his Harvard days and if you check, the one and only article written under the name Barack Obama makes no sense at all. 

His infomercial was a three ring circus, orchestrated by Humpty Dumpty himself and actually had nothing to do with anything. No real plan – but he believes the jury (Americans) will be impressed by the money, the smooth talk and eloquent nonsensical speech. But, Dumpty was wrong, again! 

So fellow Americans if you’re into “R” rated fairytales without a happy ending – than Obama’s your man!

Some interesting info on Michelle Obama also - starting in 1993. 

Well – now we’ve been incensed with a 30 minute infomercial by Barack or is it Barry or George Obama, not one of us knows the real name or the real man. Like it or not the “Obama God” insisted on showing his face on TV for 30 minutes. Millions of dollars spent on a man without a past – it can’t get much worse than that…

Than I thought about his wife Michelle and her comment at the Democratic Convention stating that she’s finally proud of America. Well, Michelle you’re the one who made it plain and clear that the race is in fact about ethnicity. None of us even considered that until you made the comment!

You see Michelle, I’m speaking for millions of Americans out there – we don’t care if our next Presidential leader is red, white, brown or purple. We just want a man who places country first, one who will protect our families and children from the terrorists, special interest groups, Supreme Court Judges and most of all from the imminent (3) – the White House triplets Pelosi, Dodd and Reid.

Michelle the statement made at the Convention would have been powerful if you had prefaced it with the fact Barack Obama is a strong leader, sad Obama has no record. You couldn’t say your husband is experienced in foreign affairs - look at his sneaky meeting with Iraq’s Prime Minister. Iraq is afraid of your husband's underhanded politics...

Maybe try saying he’s capable of balancing a budget – nope that won’t work either look at his campaign funds – FEC can tell you about that little problem or better yet check on all the tax payers’ money he hands out to special interest groups and radicals. 

It’s obvious he isn’t a man who can down size the government, remove the crooks and give us back our American Dream! In fact his idea of government is control of the people, the small businesses, the middle class and seniors – he will decide who gets our money and when…

Michelle, any way you cut it your husband’s past is cloudy, murky and full of a bunch of political crap. Just as he’s trying to buy the Presidency, he bought his way into the Illinois Senate, the US Senate and the only reason Hillary was given the shoe was his unlimited campaign funds and the powerful “Radicals” who prepared him for this job. It really had nothing to do with the man or his capabilities did it Hillary?

Do you really think Bill Clinton’s reluctance to support your husband was a political maneuver – no way, Bill knows that Obama isn’t the man capable of filling the Presidential shoes and Bill hates to be connected in any way with a loser!  

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governor must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” James Madison

So Americans take time out before the Presidential Election and arm yourself with knowledge, if you in fact want to once again become “The Voice of America.” 

Here are some interesting little tidbits that you can check out for yourselves – don’t take my word for anything. Do some soul searching and decide if this man has the qualifications to lead your country and keep your children safe.

Iraqi’s foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has shared some interesting news – Obama sneaked behind our country’s back and tried to do a lot of politicking according to Mr. Zebari.   Mr. Zebari makes no pretense about Obama’s indiscretions when discussing withdrawing US  forces from Iraq.  

Obama has repeatedly done his attorney two step when trying to explain what he said and what he did last July 2008 when meeting with the Iraqi’s.   All of the Iraqis recall exactly what he said and in their eyes, he’s one more person they must worry about during their struggle for Democracy.

What’s that he said about Reverend Wright, his mentor, closest friend and colleague for 20 years - its better not to repeat it, but it sure wasn’t a compliment. When Obama realized that his close association with Reverend Wright was hurting his public image – Obama dumped Wright. 

Ayers, oh yes everyone know the comment that Obama made about vaguely knowing him when he was but a wee boy – funny how he forgets who started him on his Presidential Race. Think Ayers had a little tea party and “get to know” my boy Obama coming out party. But, then Obama’s not famous for remembering things like that… Barack forgot to mention that he and Ayers served on two different boards together: (1) One founded by Walter Annenberg, and (2) The Woods Foundation.

What about his fake “Birth Certificate” – why didn’t the Democrats vet him before they nominated him? Now they don’t know what to do about their man, Obama and they’re not even sure what his real name is or his age, let alone his whereabouts for the past 20 some years. That’s the Democrats for you – never thinking before they jump! 

Who does Obama think he’s kidding when he went from Columbia University with a low “C” average and miraculously ended up in Harvard. Go figure – some money passed hands to get that feat accomplished.

What about Rezko, the one Obama describes as living somewhere in his neighborhood – they played “tootsie” in a couple of land deals, and after passing some big bucks from hand to hand, Barack arranged an internship for John Aramanda, son of one of Rezko’s business partners.   But, that was just a thank you for some of the money that was swirling around like snowflakes.

In his first race for public office (the Illinois Senate) he just did his little “Attorney Shuffle” applied a full-nelson by applying “Chicago” rules and ran his three opponents plumb out of town. One of these opponents was Alice Palmer (longtime Chicago Activist and Obama friend.) But, as Obama would say, “All is fair in love and war.” 

He sideswiped Hillary over the seating of Florida and Michigan delegation at the August Convention – the DNC was between a rock and hard place, but Obama did his attorney thing and Hillary was the one who got spanked.

There’s a picture that’s just been painted for you – like the Mona Lisa, it’s not what it appears to be on the surface. Look again and you’ll see a man who has been groomed, mentored by the best radicals and special interest groups in our Nation – they have planned every step of this man’s life starting with the Harvard Review and coming forward to October 29, 2008. 

Barack Hussein Obama has a past, a very poor record in the Illinois Senate and the US Senate. His business partners and associates have been Radicals, the Chicago gang and special interest groups. Obama doesn’t place his country first, nor does he care about the middleclass, the seniors, the small businesses or infants.  

Obama believes in redistribution, government control and spreading the wealth and if you’ve been listening closely and doing your homework you know this editorial is not biased, not propaganda and has nothing to do with ethnicity.   We’re talking about a man’s character, reputation and morals.

The other day I received an email from a young lady, who said, “so what if Obama believes in Socialism, I really don’t know anything about Socialism, but I like Barack Obama?” How many people out there in our Nation are saying the same thing – they don’t know what Socialism means, but if it’s a new fad, they’re all for it! This isn’t a fashion show or a college debating team we’re talk about! 

This is one of our most critical times in our Nation’s history and it’s not a fashion show or a college debating team or an eloquent speaker – this is about a man’s character, reputation and track record.    

Here’s the definition as given by Merriam Webster’s online dictionary. 

Here is what you can expect if Barack Hussein Obama wins the Presidential Election.

1.      Higher taxes

2.      More government control

3.      Gifts distributed to those who don’t contribute to the welfare of our country, such as illegal aliens, terrorists and special interest groups

4.       Control over your children’s education

5.      Taxes so high on Corporate America that they opt to invest their money in other countries (can’t bite the hand that will support us during our recession.)

6.      The “American Dream” will be extinguished over night – the mamma and papa businesses will carry those who want to sit in their rocking chair and twiddle their thumbs.

To all of this there’s only one answer – do you really want to keep our Nation as “One Nation Under God” or do you want “One Nation Under Obama & Friends?

“May God Bless America.”

Six days left for all of us to ponder about what man will be the best choice for President of our Nation.    There’s but two things to ponder: (1) Character & reputation of the man, and (2) Which man will protect your and your family at all costs?

So after thinking a few seconds about this – it was apparent that never in our Nation’s history have any two men differed so much on their platform. Below you’ll find a factual comparison that can be checked online at government site or campaign venues. America has to be strong and do their homework before choosing their next President – remove the Liberal propaganda, the lies, the political bias and dig for the truth.

Taxes:

John will not raise anyone’s taxes.

Obama will raise taxes so he can “share the wealth”

Morality:

John believes in “One Nation Under God” and human life

Obama believes in One Nation Under Socialism and baby killing.

Jobs:

John’s economic plan will immediately create jobs for thousands of Americans

Obama’s plan will close down businesses, encourage investors to go out of the US and redistribute our money until we’re all in “the lower class.”

Government:

John will not only remove the shysters who are controlling our country, but down size the government by removing redundant or unnecessary programs. John will give us a report card on everyone who is scamming us at this time – we will know names and the appropriate punishments these evil people will receive. 

Obama wants to control freedom of speech (news media), give illegal aliens all the amenities that a US citizen receives. Obama has been affiliated with some more than dangerous people during his two year US Senate interim, such as the “triplets” (Pelosi, Dodd & Reid) along with some shenanigans with the Freddie and Fanny crowd. Obama’s reluctance to vote in the Senate shows his disdain for the honest politicians – it also shows his inability to make wise decisions.

Track Records:

John protected our country for 20 plus years – his political career started in 1982 and he’s served his country well. His expensive background in foreign affairs has allowed him to place our troops first when making a decision. John doesn’t want our men and women to return from Iraq or Afghanistan defeated – to him that just isn’t acceptable. 

Most of all, John places his county first, he wants a government that works for the people and will not tolerate a “Socialistic” philosophy that advocates a government that controls the people.

His running mate Sarah was chosen because she believes in a “government for the people.” Her track record is excellent and she is prepared to stand beside John as they down size the government and remove the “crooks.” Sarah isn’t just a “cutsey” lady without a marble in her head as the Liberal media tries to imply – she has the highest approval rating in history as governor and she her track record as governor shows us, she know how to balance a budget.

John’s cabinet will be chosen on their track record regardless of their party – this is a beautiful bipartisan approach that should restore our Nation’s once strong foundation. 

Obama’s track record is non-existent, all we know is he passed "Go" and went straight from Columbia as a low “C” student to Harvard College. He used your tax dollars unwisely to empower the radicals, special interest groups and possibly even terrorists. 

Only time will tell, but history will at sometime record who this man we call Obama really is, where he’s been for 20 years, if he’s a naturalized citizen and who is actually financing and supporting his “socialistic quest.”

“May God Bless Each and Everyone.”

The other day I received an email from a young lady, who said, “so what if Obama believes in Socialism?  I really don’t know anything about Socialism, but I like Barack Obama and love it because he’s an eloquent speaker.”  How many people out there in our Nation are saying the same thing – they don’t know what Socialism means, but if it’s a new fad, they’re all for it! 

This is one of our most critical times in our Nation’s history and it’s not a fashion show or a college debating team or about an eloquent speaker – this is about a man’s character, reputation and track record.  Which man will protect our families and our country?

Here’s the definition of Socialism as given by Merriam Webster’s online dictionary. 

1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Here is what you can expect if Barack Hussein Obama wins the Presidential Election.

1.      Higher taxes

2.      More government control

3.      Gifts distributed to those who don’t contribute to the welfare of our country, such as illegal aliens, terrorists and special interest groups

4.       Control over your children’s education – requirements from grade 1 through 12 is learning, living and adopting the “Rules of Radicals.”

5.      Taxes so high on Corporate America that they opt to invest their money in other countries (can’t bite the hand that will support us during our recession.)

6.      The “American Dream” will be extinguished over night – the mamma and papa businesses will carry those who want to sit in their rocking chair and twiddle their thumbs.

To all of this there’s only one answer – do you really want to keep our Nation as “One Nation Under God” or do you want “One Nation Under the Obama God & Friends?

About a year and a half ago, I wrote a small book for parents and grandparents. It was a story by a 68 year old grandmother and written for two basic reasons, (1) Bring Parenthood back into style, and (2) Expose the meddlers (special interest groups, lobbyists and pork barrel pigs), the peddlers (Liberal news media) and the Government. 

So today 7 days before the Presidential Election, I took it off my old history shelf and thought I’d share one small chapter with America. As you’re reading this, remember the American Dream – don’t sell the dream for a few idle promises and the Obama philosophy.

One question that keeps running through my mind is, “what were we doing and thinking while they (I’m using this term ambiguously) started chiseling away at our Nation’s foundation.”  Excuse the english pun, but none of us know for sure who "they" really are...

Their intent was to destroy the once strong family unit and they haven’t succeeded – in fact they’ve bitten the “hand that feeds them.”  They forgot that those playing with fire will sooner or later get burned – America’s parents are resilient and frankly have had enough.

Families have been put threw the ringer the past 60 years as we experienced and practiced the new child psychology theory, the women’s movement and the unrestricted world that the “baby boomers” advocated, which included materialism.

Our country went from  “One Nation Under God” to a Heinz mix that advocated and condoned materialism and freedom of “self.”  Yes, we bought into this newfound freedom and enjoyed a few years of unrestricted, undisciplined living, but now we’re at the crossroads and parents are down to two choices; (1) Restore our Nation morally and spiritually or, (2) Let the meddlers and peddlers take over ownership of our Nation.

Obama and gang are just waiting to pounce on Americans, their children and their country.  We're on the verge of going from a Democracy to Obamanism. 

Blame isn’t the answer and won’t solve our problems! Parents can consider taking the first giant step of restoration by choosing the right leaders for our country.  

Before the election, our Presidential Elects needs to step forward with “real solutions for real problems.”  In plain english, we want to know in detail how they plan on solving America's dilema.  This time patches, quick fixes and band aids aren't feasible solutions.  John McCain and Sarah Palin aren't the "home health aid" squad - nope they're the surgeons that don't believe in "quick fixes."

The American people don’t need more taxation and false promises – parents, grandparents and concerned citizens want a strong honest government that can actually correct the run away problems of oil, health insurance, education and a weak economy that went south a long time ago.

We've got our work cut out for us because during the past 60 years many of us have turned our heads and been content to blame our government, the meddlers and peddlers.  It's unfair to expect John and Sarah to fix everything via the government - we the people must promise to do our part. 

Individually we can take back our rights, roles and responsibilities and build strong family units again!  We can't continue being passive and blame someone for our children’s promiscuous way.  Glenn Beck on CNN has absolutely hit the nail on the head - as individuals we must step forward and make a conscious decision of what road we wish to take during the next 4 years.

We need to make a moral and spiritual stand for our children and our country.  All citizens should consider returning to an old fashioned idea of budgeting – our uncontrolled spending via plastic needs to stop immediately.

We can’t restore our Nation or our families at this time, because we want what we want, when we want it.  Just getting a handle on the spending frenzy will be the beginning of a great new era for each and every family!

The peddlers (news media) need to join hands with us and help us build a strong nation again – citizens are tired of the “trickle down news” that is laced with propaganda and a large dose of bias tossed in... 

We’re capable of making good decisions and tired of being treated like a bunch of preprogrammed robots.  For now let’s revisit where America has been tramping around the past 60 plus years.

Let’s trek back to the 40’s when teachers were faced with minor disciplinary problems such as talking loudly during class, chewing gum, running in the hallways etc.

Now teachers must cope with rape, robbery, assault, drug and alcohol abuse and at times murder.   So what happened between than and now?   Why have teachers and school administrators been a helpless target without any real support from our Nation?

I say this because our US children’s education ranks quite low compared to some other countries.   We talk a good talk, but that’s all it is – just idle gossip.   Our public schools are in a world of hurt and we’re ignoring their cries for help and parental support.

It’s almost like our public schools have turned into baby sitting institutions where we expect teachers to teach if they have time, but lord forbid if they should discipline our kids.

Here’s a news alert, many awesome and dedicated  teachers have received our message and many have stepped down from their teaching positions and others (not qualified to teach) have stepped in as replacements!

Remember when it was decided that teachers should be the ones to teach our kids sex education and at the same time the elementary schools were telling our kids that, “It’s alright for Johnnie to have two daddies or mommies – my little grandson came home from school one day and discussed this new philosophy.

So, grandma tell me why Johnnie has to have two daddies, where’d his Mommy go?   Boy, grandma couldn't come up with any good explanations for that question - so I told my grandson what I believed in my heart and why I believed certain things to be true!

Along the way, many Americans have adopted the attitude that anything goes in our country because we’re in the land of the free.   So it’s easy to understand why morality and spirituality has taken one hit after the other.

We try so hard not to offend anyone and in the meantime our true identity is being lost in the modern mix.   It’s difficult to admit that our complacency and busy life styles kept us totally off guard, but whatever the reason – we certainly were too preoccupied in our own little world!

Although, parents didn’t always agree with the changes taking place in our schools and society;  they didn’t disagree with enough intensity to stop the meddlers.   Was prayer really removed from schools because of a few over zealous teachers and parents or was it's removal spawned by those special interest groups that I refer to as the meddlers?

At the same time we experienced  hoop la about the Ten Commandments and we were told that they needed to go too!   So gradually with the help of a handful of bored cantankerous people, parents are the ones controlled – not the ones in control.

Over a span of many years we have experienced numerous alterations in our society, especially our social environment.   Some of the changes are good, but others aren’t morally or spiritually acceptable.   Progress isn’t progress in the USA – when the family unit is weakened.   It’s regression!

Due to our materialistic binge and newborn freedom of "self," we've treaded into no man's land and we're stuck in the mire!.   As I mentioned earlier our credit card debt alone is enough to confirm that many have lost their ability to budget, let alone save any of their hard earned money.

Materialism is ruthlessly devouring our children and our country;  it has become the dominant stimuli that keeps everyone scrambling and out of balance.   If materialism is the status symbol of a man or woman’s true worth, than our accumulation of “things” must represent who we really are…

When our worth is monitored in dollars and cents, or the degree of fame and fortune achieved – we’ve truly bounced right off the Richter scale.   So my question is, “why are we wasting our time collecting treasures that we can’t take with us at the end of life?

Many have tread the narrow materialistic path only to find out in the last few hours here on “Mother Earth,” that they wasted a lifetime spinning their wheels in the search for peace of mind and happiness.

This is just an observation that I’ve made from my hospice experiences;  believe me in those last final hours the one making his or her final journey isn’t sitting there counting their worldly possessions one by one!

The materialistic struggle is dangerous because its one of compromise – in order to be a participant we must sacrifice “self.”   No doubt materialism boosts the weak ego and serves as a powerful message for those in search of false “Gods.”

But what about our heart and soul – do we really think being a worshipper of materiality is going to bring us eternal peace of mind and happiness?   How did we arrive in this precarious position - could the reason be our desire to give our children a better life?  The question here is what is "a better life?"

Many of us chose a lifestyle that forced us to jump on the fast track in search of a better life for ourselves and our children.   We had a burning fear of being left behind!

While we spent years trying to keep up with the “Joneses” - our children were sort of raising themselves and about the same time, we started hashing around the problems that our ‘latch key” kids were experiencing.

Shortly thereafter we were hearing about teen pregnancies and serious problems in our schools, but few of us really took the time to figure out where we’d gone astray.  It was much easier to place all the blame on "they!"

Don’t assume that I’m pointing my finger in a better than thou attitude – nope, I was one of the baby boomers and I’ve been there and done all of the above!  I’m hoping that as a Nation, we can address some of these problems and restore our countries’ foundation and I'm here to help all of you.

Our children don’t need more gifts – they need us minding the home front and keeping our families safe.   To all of the meddlers and peddlers – get a life, do something constructive or just flat “Get Out Of Dodge.”   Our Country needs the two mavericks.  http://www.yourannie.com
