                 comments@whitehouse.gov

                 info@gop.com

              Let them know how you feel about their betrayal.   If your Senator voted against it thank him/her promptly.  If they voted for it let them know that your support is dwindling and relies on their next move.  Join the mass mailing undertaken by RogerF, GailM, etc........Reid gave us a week to fight fire with fire. Use it wisely. Contact your state GOP leadership and register your disgust and waning support. Get busy now.

            If you receive any "solicitations" from Republican fundraisers let them know your disgust also. Especially the National Republican Senatorial Committee.  It is vitally important for us to contact our respective state GOP leaders and let them know how we feel. Georgia's leadership is nailing both Isakson and Chambliss for their betrayal.

DESTRUCTIVE INTENT-This American has always had a healthy distrust of the Federal government. My instincts have been proven correct time and again.! This sham comprehensive immigration reform bill should be retitled to read THE COMPREHENSIVE WAR AGAINST AMERICANS ACT!!!

The purpose of this legislation, coupled  with hate crimes legislation shall be to: 

1.  Displace  American citizens on American soil through the  importation of poverty on a massive scale! Overwhelm the infrastructure.

i.e. Highways, schools, hospitals, social service systems (rent subsidies, food stamps), fresh water systems, sewer systems.

2. The destruction of the American social security system, medicare system, medicade system.  

3.  To tax Americans out of existance to pay for social programs for the heretofore illegal aliens.

4. To import diseases previously eradicated in the United States.

5.  Allow the criminal element to run rampant to sow fear and intimidation throughout the population. 

In Sum- Americans must be denied  any belief , attitude and inherent right of freedom of expression that is in conflict with what we The President and The Congress of The United States deem appropriate. After all,  we are Kings and the American people the peasants!

OUR ELECTED LEADERS MUST UNDERSTAND THAT WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE DECIDERS!  WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE ULTIMATE FINAL WORD in matters concerning Americas long term viability as a functional soverign nation! IT IS TIME FOR OUR ELECTED LEADERS TO STAND UP FOR AMERICAs INTERESTS-THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!

THE SHAM IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!! 

LONG LIVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!  

 

 

Already did that Thursday....they sent an email looking for money and I told them AFTER the borders are secure and AFTER Bush and every member of the GOP who voted for amnesty is read the riot act and funds cut off to them....THEN I will THINK about giving $$$.  Until then....tell them all to dig deeper into their own pockets.   I don't see any of them teetering on the edge of bankruptcy!

Where Have All the Leaders Gone?  -  By Lee Iacocca with Catherine Whitney

Had Enough?

Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening?

Where the hell is our outra ge? We should be screaming bloody murder.

We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."

Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!

You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcu ffs.

While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?

I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have.

My friends tell me to calm down. They say, "Lee, you're eighty-two years old. Leave the rage to the young people." I'd love to~as soon as I can pry them away from their iPods for five seconds and get them to pay attention. I'm going to speak up because it's my patriotic duty. I think people will listen to me. They say I have a reputation as a straight shooter. So I'll tell you how I see it, and it's not pretty, but at least it's real. I'm hoping to strike a nerve in those young folks who say they don't vote because they don't trust politicians to represent their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys work for us.

Who Are These Guys, Anyway?

Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for them~or at least some of us did. But I'll tell you what we didn't do. We didn't agree to suspend the Constitution.

We didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding answers. Some of us are sick and tired of people who call free speech treason. Where I come from that's a dictatorship, not a democracy.

And don't tell me it's all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal Democrats. That's an intellectually lazy argument, and it's part of the reason we're in this stew. We're not just a nation of factions. We're a people. We share common principles and ideals. And we rise and fall together.

Where are the voices of leaders who can inspire us to action and make us stand taller? What happened to the strong and resolute party of Lincoln? What happened to the courag eous, populist party of FDR and Truman? There was a time in this country when the voices of great leaders lifted us up and made us want to do better. Where have all the leaders gone?

The Test of a Leader
 
I've never been Commander in Chief, but I've been a CEO. I understand a few things about leadership at the top. I've figured out nine points~not ten (I don't want people accusing me of thinking I'm Moses).

I call them the "Nine Cs of Leadership." They're not fancy or complicated. Just clear, obvious qualities that every true leader should have. We should look at how the current administration stacks up.

Like it or not, this crew is going to be around until January 2009.

Maybe we c an learn something before we go to the polls in 2008. Then let's be sure we use the leadership test to screen the candidates who say they want to run the country. It's up to us to choose wisely.

So, here's my C list:

A leader has to show CURIOSITY. He has to listen to people outside of the "Yes, sir" crowd in his inner circle. He has to read voraciously, because the world is a big, complicated place. George W. Bush brags about never reading a newspaper. "I just scan the headlines," he says.

Am I hearing this right? He's the President of the United States and he never reads a newspaper? Thomas Jefferson once said, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter." Bush disagrees. As long as he gets his daily hour in the gym, with Fox News piped through the sound system, he's ready to go.

If a leader never steps outside his comfo rt zone to hear different ideas, he grows stale. If he doesn't put his beliefs to the test, how does he know he's right? The inability to listen is a form of arrogance.

It means either you think you already know it all, or you just don't care. Before the 2006 election, George Bush made a big point of saying he didn't listen to the polls. Yeah, that's what they all say when the polls stink. But maybe he should have listened, because 70 percent of the people were saying he was on the wrong track. It took a "thumping" on election day to wake him up, but even then you got the feeling he wasn't listening so much as he was calculating how to do a better job of convincing everyone he was right.

A leader has to be CREATIVE, go out on a limb, be willing to try something different. You know, think outside the box. George Bush prides himself on never changing, even as the world around him is spinning out of control. God forbid someone should accuse him of flip-flopping.

T here's a disturbingly messianic fervor to his certainty. Senator Joe Biden recalled a conversation he had with Bush a few months after our troops marched into Baghdad. Joe was in the Oval Office outlining his concerns to the President~the explosive mix of Shiite and Sunni, the disbanded Iraqi army, the problems securing the oil fields. "The President was serene," Joe recalled. "He told me he was sure that we were on the right course and that all would be well. 'Mr. President,' I finally said, 'how can you be so sure when you don't yet know all the facts?'" Bush then reached over and put a steadying hand on Joe's shoulder. "My instincts," he said. "My instincts." Joe was flabbergasted. He told Bush, "Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough." Joe Biden sure didn't think the matter was settled. And, as we all know now, it wasn't.

Leadership is all about managing change~whether you're leading a company or leading a country. Things change, and you get creative. You adapt .

Maybe Bush was absent the day they covered that at Harvard Business School.

A leader has to COMMUNICATE. I'm not talking about running off at the mouth or spouting sound bites. I'm talking about facing reality and telling the truth. Nobody in the current administration seems to know how to talk straight anymore. Instead, they spend most of their time trying to convince us that things are not really as bad as they seem. I don't know if it's denial or dishonesty, but it can start to drive you crazy after a while. Communication has to start with telling the truth, even when it's painful. The war in Iraq has been, among other things, a grand failure of communication. Bush is like the boy who didn't cry wolf when the wolf was at the door. After years of being told that all is well, even as the casualties and chaos mount, we've stopped listening to him.

A leader has to be a person of CHARACTER. That means knowing the difference between right and wrong and having th e guts to do the right thing. Abraham Lincoln once said, "If you want to test a man's character, give him power." George Bush has a lot of power. What does it say about his character? Bush has shown a willingness to take bold action on the world stage because he has the power, but he shows little regard for the grievous consequences. He has sent our troops (not to mention hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens) to their deaths~for what? To build our oil reserves? To avenge his daddy because Saddam Hussein once tried to have him killed? To show his daddy he's tougher? The motivations behind the war in Iraq are questionable, and the execution of the war has been a disaster. A man of character does not ask a single soldier to die for a failed policy.

A leader must have COURAGE. I'm talking about balls. (That even goes for female leaders.) Swagger isn't courage. Tough talk isn't courage.

George Bush comes from a blue-blooded Connecticut family, but he likes to t alk like a cowboy. You know, My gun is bigger than your gun. Courage in the twenty-first century doesn't mean posturing and bravado. Courage is a commitment to sit down at the negotiating table and talk.

If you're a politician, courage means taking a position even when you know it will cost you votes. Bush can't even make a public appearance unless the audience has been handpicked and sanitized. He did a series of so-called town hall meetings last year, in auditoriums packed with his most devoted fans. The questions were all softballs.

To be a leader you've got to have CONVICTION~a fire in your belly.

You've got to have passion. You've got to really want to get something done. How do you measure fire in the belly? Bush has set the all-time record for number of vacation days taken by a U.S. President~four hundred and counting. He'd rather clear brush on his ranch than immerse himself in the business of governing. He even told an interviewer that the high point o f his presidency so far was catching a seven-and-a-half-pound perch in his hand-stocked lake.

It's no better on Capitol Hill. Congress was in session only ninety-seven days in 2006. That's eleven days less than the record set in 1948, when President Harry Truman coined the term do-nothing Congress. Most people would expect to be fired if they worked so little and had nothing to show for it. But Congress managed to find the time to vote itself a raise. Now, that's not leadership.

A leader should have CHARISMA. I'm not talking about being flashy.

Charisma is the quality that makes people want to follow you. It's the ability to inspire. People follow a leader because they trust him.

That's my definition of charisma. Maybe George Bush is a great guy to hang out with at a barbecue or a ball game. But put him at a global summit where the future of our planet is at stake, and he doesn't look very presidential. Those frat-boy pranks and the kidding around he enj oys so much don't go over that well with world leaders. Just ask German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who received an unwelcome shoulder massage from our President at a G-8 Summit. When he came up behind her and started squeezing, I thought she was going to go right through the roof.

A leader has to be COMPETENT. That seems obvious, doesn't it? You've got to know what you're doing. More important than that, you've got to surround yourself with people who know what they're doing. Bush brags about being our first MBA President. Does that make him competent?

Well, let's see. Thanks to our first MBA President, we've got the largest deficit in history, Social Security is on life support, and we've run up a half-a-trillion-dollar price tag (so far) in Iraq. And that's just for starters. A leader has to be a problem solver, and the biggest problems we face as a nation seem to be on the back burner.

You can't be a leader if you don't have COMMON SENSE. I call this Charlie Beacham's rule. When I was a young guy just starting out in the car business, one of my first jobs was as Ford's zone manager in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. My boss was a guy named Charlie Beacham, who was the East Coast regional manager. Charlie was a big Southerner, with a warm drawl, a huge smile, and a core of steel. Charlie used to tell me, "Remember, Lee, the only thing you've got going for you as a human being is your ability to reason and your common sense. If you don't know a dip of horseshit from a dip of vanilla ice cream, you'll never make it." George Bush doesn't have common sense. He just has a lot of sound bites. You know~Mr.they'll-welcome-us-as-liberators-no-child-left-behind-heck-of-a-job-Brownie-mission-accomplished Bush.

Former President Bill Clinton once said, "I grew up in an alcoholic home. I spent half my childhood trying to get into the reality-based world~and I like it here."

I think our current President should visit the real world once in a while.

The Biggest C is Crisis Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis.

It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory.

Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. Where was George Bush? He was reading a story about a pet goat to kids in Florida when he heard about the attacks. He kept sitting there for twenty minutes with a baffled look on his face. It's all on tape. You can see it for yourself. Then, instead of taking the quickest route back to Washington and immediately going on the air to reassure the panicked people of this country, he decided it wasn't safe to return to the White House. He basically went into hiding for the day~and he told Vice Presiden t Dick Cheney to stay put in his bunker. We were all frozen in front of our TVs, scared out of our wits, waiting for our leaders to tell us that we were going to be okay, and there was nobody home. It took Bush a couple of days to get his bearings and devise the right photo op at Ground Zero.

That was George Bush's moment of truth, and he was paralyzed. And what did he do when he'd regained his composure? He led us down the road to Iraq~a road his own father had considered disastrous when he was President. But Bush didn't listen to Daddy. He listened to a higher father. He prides himself on being faith based, not reality based. If that doesn't scare the crap out of you, I don't know what will.

A Hell of a Mess
 
So here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way. These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you've got to ask: "Where have all the leaders gone?" Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, competence, and common sense?

I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent bill ions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina.

Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane, or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm. Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when "the Big Three" referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen~and more important, what are we going to do about it?

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energ y crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity.

What is everybody so afraid of? That some bobblehead on Fox News will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough?

Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope. I believe in America. In my lifetime I've had the privilege of living through some of America's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises~the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, the 1970s oil crisis, and the struggles of recen t years culminating with 9/11. If I've learned one thing, it's this: You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play.

That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a call to action for people who, like me, believe in America. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the horseshit and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had enough.

This is a letter I have been sending via email, snail-mail, and fax to various Senators. I have yet to receive any kind of response. I'm thoroughly disgusted at not being able to reach most of the key players on this Immigration  (Amnesty) bill.  Those I have been able to reach receive the same message, without the first paragraph. Also included is a little lesson in the immigration laws of Mexico.
 
Senator,
I have been trying for weeks to reach a staff member in your office. Your
phones, in your State office and your Washington, D.C. office, are continually
busy. Your voicemail box remains full.
 
Senator, the American people are not for amnesty for illegal aliens. There is a reason they're called "illegals". They have broken the law. Enforce the
laws already on the books. Deport illegal aliens. Do not allow them to be employed, receive public assistance, get driver licenses, or a multitude of other services available to them now. With no incentive to stay, they'll leave. Pretty simple,huh?

I know, let's do it like the Mexican's do! See below:

DID YOU SAY  "HARSH"

1. There will be no special bilingual  programs in the schools, no special ballots for elections, and all government  business will be conducted in our language.

2. Foreigners will NOT have  the right to vote, no matter how long they are
here.

3. Foreigners will  NEVER be able to hold political office.

4. Foreigners will not be a  burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food stamps, no health care, nor any  other government assistance programs.

5. Foreigners can invest in this  country, but it must be an amount equal to
40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

6. If foreigners do come  and want to buy land that will be okay, BUT option will be restricted. You  are not allowed to own waterfront property. That property is reserved for  citizens naturally born into this country.

7. Foreigners may not  protest; no demonstrations, no waving a foreign flag no polit ical  organizing, no "bad-mouthing" our president or his policies If you do you will  be sent home.

8. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be  hunted down and sent straight to jail.

The above laws happen to be the immigration laws of  MEXICO!!!

Put together a bill that provides a tighter border and institute a system to
prevent employers from hiring illegal aliens (undocumented workers).
 
If our government can't figure out how to round up 12 million illegals, how in the world will you assess fines; send them back across the border, only to
come back; make sure they learn English (Hooray!), and all the other
stipulations that were in this bill, if you can't find them to deport them?
 
I realize you can only answer constituents from your home state, but don't 
you think these questions are worth an answer? They're pretty fundamental.
 
Thank you,

I keep getting fund raising letters,and so on.The last three,I just wrote on them"When you secure the border,and enforce laws on the books,I will consider it,also wrote til then,What money I have will go to Tom Tancredos campaign!!

                         These fund raising letters come in postage paid envelopes; so send a letter back explaining why you refuse to donate and mail it back on their dime. If they call be firm, be harsh, and let them know you wish to be removed from their call list until the party bosses get serious on border issues.

I came across a blog supporting Fred Thompson today, and dissing Tom Coburn.  3 people had commented defending Senator Coburn.  I posted about Thompsons CFR connections, said until Tom Coburn decided to enter the race, I would be supporting Tom Tancredo.

I don't know if it still works or not, but when I used to get those unsolicited letters for contributions or just plain junk mail (this was about 15 years ago before widespread computer usage and spam), I used to tear the TV guide pages in half, they were then the perfect size and stuff those prepaid envelopes full of them and also include the "rejection" note--that way, instead of having to pay 41 cents for the return (or less since they get a volume discount) they have to pay several dollars for an overweight postage :-)  I wroked part time at an office that sent out stuff with pre-paid postage and when the people sent back several sheets rather than just one, the office ended up with postage due of like $1.03, $1.41 etc....that is where I got the idea to do it with junk mail that included prepaid envelopes.

Like I said, I don't know if it still works or not--right now I just mark their fund raising email requests as spam.

Yep, they really, REALLY if they want to save their jobs and nice fat bank accounts, need to table this bill and then work OVERTIME to make sure that fence is being built, HIRE IMMEDIATELY more border control agents like we were promised by the Prez, and see that at least 2-3 DOZEN employers of illegal aliens are busted/fined and threatened with being shut down and those found working there deported---THEN and only THEN after we see that they have not lied to us again, like they have continually done in the past, will we entertain some idea of a bill concerning SOME of the illegals who are here!!!

---

Maybe the root lies here:

1)Make illegal entry into the USA a felony, not a civil violation.

2)Make it a class 1 misdemeanor (not a civil violation) to be present illegally on American soil (e.g. here on an expired visa).

That would make all illegals truly criminals in every sense of the word.  Then enforce the remainder of the immigration laws.  It seems more and more, especially listening to Tony Snow and the hacks talking to him, like Bill O'Reilly, that all of these illegals have not committed a crime more serious than getting a parking ticket.  If that is true, then we need to redefine the crime.

And BTW, Lee Iaccoca's message is basically OK, but there are some factual problems (for instance, whether he likes his tax break or not, the federal revenues from taxes have gone UP since tax rates were LOWERED) and some of the points are cheap shots (unless, for example, you believe the conspiracy nuts who believe Bush planned 9-11 and went to read to school kids to have some sort of alibi.)  Lee Iaccoca is no conservative or free market advocate.  Remember, this is the guy who went with hat in hand and cajoled the government to bail out his failing company.  If that is leadership, then why do we ever need to grow up.  Let's just let our parents support us forever.

I told them when they sent an e-mail looking for money that my money went to Tom Tancredo, because he believed in Securing our borders

Love that, Texas.  Can I use that to send to Kennedy and Kerry?

Dear ______________,

DO NOT CAVE IN TO GEORGE BUSH, his underhanded tactics and arm twisting to try to get you to vote against your beliefs that the Kennedy-McCain bill is a fantasy and wrong for our country.

WE THE PEOPLE have shown you through our united front that the vast majority of U.S. citizens in America are vehemently against any bill that would grant any form of amnesty, guest worker progrram, path to citizenship, or anchor status.

WE THE PEOPLE insist on comprehensive border security in the form of an effective fence or wall along the totality of the southern U.S. border. 

WE THE PEOPLE have spoken and we will continue to speak out...scream out...that we will not put up with political sellouts to the U.S. Constitution.

WE THE PEOPLE elected you to serve us, not the other way around.  We are taking names and can assure you that if you vote for this incidious bill you will be voted out of office next election.

WE THE PEOPLE have the power of the U.S. Constitution to deem it necessary to bring serious change to a government that does not act for the will of the people.

WE THE PEOPLE will not be blackmailed by a government that has threatened to refuse to enforce immigration law without a new bill.  This is a refusal by elected officials to perform their sworn duty and grounds for impeachment and removal.

WE THE PEOPLE will not be intimidated, brow beaten, or bullied by political panderers who put votes before justice.

WE THE PEOPLE will not sacrifice our values to fit government failures.  Amnesty in 1986 was a travesty and amnesty now would cause the devastation and destruction of America.

WE THE PEOPLE are not "racist" or "ignorant".  We are concerned and angry legal U.S. citizens who come from many different shores who see very clearly that our present government is incapable of acting on our behalf.  We have done our research and are protesting a bill that WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT in any way, shape, or form.

Heed us,  WE THE PEOPLE have awaken.

Respectfully,

 

Excellent! I like it, I love it, I want some of it! LOL
