JDC OP-ED: Americans are fighters, not cry babies. No one can steal away your power and rights unless you let them through inaction. Like our forefathers, the current upheaval is the wake up cry by 73% of taxpaying Americans to rid this nation of big government and its drunken spending binge.
We are brought to the brink of ruin through greed, mismanagement, lies and the self-interest plays of a monopoly, not bent on the exercise of free choice, free enterprise and the will of the people.
The voter's voice whether off base or surreal is a freedom that can keep America in the times of prosperity as when President Clinton moved toward the center and worked with the majority Republicans to bring deficits down and prosperity throughout the heartland. Or, this same voice can put the economic stability of a nation into a downward spiral, seen since 2006 by a Democratic Congressional monopoly, and now, includes the White House.
The dogs who don't hunt on the Hill are feverishly running in mad mode. When legislators fear and are afraid of losing the gravy train they ride, they do crazy things like vote tampering, slanderous ads and might even sell their souls not into the service of the American people, but in protecting their own political backside. The leopard doesn't change its spots, and neither does a politician who believes he or she is above those to which he is suppose to serve.
For many voters, facing the truth can mean dealing with the pain harbored from self-indulgent ideologies and sentimentality when reality or the fear of reality sets in threatening and challenging even crushing, base political beliefs and choices.
Even the Bible teaches: "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine," in 1 Thessalonians 5:21. With that said, there are those who would walk away without the truth by choice, the same as voters who choose to live in a bubble. Is it not easier to cry foul than to face up to filtered half-truths or innuendos?
The cauldron of politics should bring out the fine character of a man or woman, and the honest bipartisanship of its legislators and voters to maintain the greatness of America and not encapsulate selfish bitterness in favor of party affiliations and interests. For where the political heart is, so goes the building or gradual destruction of the American dream.
Sadly, the Obama administration of political correctness is lacking backbone and as one taxpayer was heard to claim: discernment in getting the business of the people done. Yet, his administration is astute enough to know how to get into the taxpayers piggy bank squeezing out every copper penny he can, plundering away at individual rights and freedoms and splurging the taxpayers hard earned money on issues in a system his office doesn't understand the affect to the bottom-line.
Democrats try to connect this economy and shrinking checking accounts of Americans squarely at the foot of President George W. Bush. Somehow they have forgotten their majority votes have been calling the shots in Congress since 2006.
No individual or party should call all those shots. Our forefathers set up a system to prevent one party domination, and to allow checks and balances over each of the governing bodies in the White House, and the Congress. Free rein breeds corruption and abuses that will permeate Main Street, challenging Americans, the stability of the Bill of Rights, the existing foundation of the Constitution and the freedom bestowed under the Declaration of Independence.
As Paul Revere shouted: the British are coming, the British are coming, so too the American people are awakened from a complacent sleep. Voters have said it in many different ways: No longer will We the People be blinded by words while actions speak otherwise. And as many wonder . . . yes, this will be a referendum vote on the policies of one Barack Husein Obama, despite those who may like Obama the man. And, that's the way it is.

Debbie Halvorson's Partisanship Will Cost Taxpayers $2600 more in 2011
JDC Government Machinations: Why does Congresswoman Debbie Halvorson choose to tax everything against the peoples' will?
Illinoisan Congressional Representative of the 11th District falls short as a proponent of what the American people want. . .an ear of concern, a voice of reason and a humble servant. Could that shortfall be because she is an inexperienced first-term Democrat or because she's afraid to ruffle the skirt of Nancy Pelosi, voting with the Speaker of the House 93% of the time according to the investigative reporting of the Washington Post.
In the fall 2010 issue of The Examiner, the Taxpayer's Voice states: "Hurricane Debbie on Destructive Path."
Hurricane Debbie landed a long time ago. She has contributed to a Democratic cauldron bubbling over with a fiery mix of economic job loss and irresponsible spending by choice. Her demeanor condescending, side stepping issues with what is Democratic political rhetoric in placating voters with spin.
Democrat Halvorson sends out emails touting voter concerns, yet the content doesn't sound as if she is listening, let alone care what a voter thinks, why a voter thinks it and what a voter expects her to do. By her actions and written messages, it comes across not about the wants of the American voter, it's about what politicians generally do - cover their backside in political posturing and the stroking of We the People.
Glue your pockets America: Her to do list has been to side with the majority in putting off a vote to extend the Bush tax cuts, until "after" the November 2010 elections. Humm, I wonder why? Even now the Feds are printing the new increased payroll deduction brochures going out to all employers later this year. The decision was already made; Democrats must believe Americans to stupid to realize it.
Could it be Democrats believe by ignoring the vote it will help reelect their party? Could it be they still don't understand how the economic cycle works? The more you earn the more reinvestment into economic and social issues occur that many on Main Street find more difficult to do.
The earned capital and profits allows for reinvestment, keeps the cogs in the various wheels of opportunity moving, growing and strengthening the business cycle with innovation, job creation and the level of living patterns Americans have grown accustom too.
Depending on allowable tax deductions, this lack of action will cost an income earner of $40,000 a year, a hefty $2600.00 more in payroll taxes. One would think the sane thing to do would be to extend the cuts into 2011 and seriously evaluate its effect on the economy short and long-term, and not in the middle of an economic plunder.
After-all, if you the taxpayer spend it, you pay the consequences, if any . . . but, if big government does, they don't and you do. How far are you willing to bend over?
Can Illinois residents afford Debbie Halvorson's political reach from within the Beltway into the pocket books of hard-working citizens? To understand how Ms. Halvorson thinks and what she has done or not done, look at her congressional record at: http://thomas.gov and click on the Congressional Record link. You may be surprised at how much of her legislative sessions is insignificant.
