Time for Basics

I have the great pleasure and honor to know and work with some very amazing people. They are Americans, just your basic American. What makes them so amazing is that their dedication and passion to their ideas is spent tirelessly in ways to stop our government from spiraling totally out of control.

We are facing today, much the same type of elitist government disdain for the people, that our forefathers faced from the King of England. The difference we face is that the Americans of today are too worried about gas prices, stocks, the new "American Idol", and video games to look up and take notice. We take for granted that we are a super power, so no one will ever defeat us. We also take our freedoms for granted and laugh off any idea that we would ever fall from within. People take little notice to the power advertising and media have over us. Our basic American traditions are under attack in most every venue of public life, and even in our homes on a dialy basis through mediums such as television and the internet.

Our children are not safe from pornography in their own bedrooms or classrooms. How on earth have we come to a place where intelligent Americans have actually been convinced that teaching sexuality to 5 year olds is not only acceptable, but a good idea for the "betterment" of society? A football coach can use the name of Jesus Christ as a swear word, and any complaints seem to come from Christian Nazi Religious Zealots from the Right Wing Church of Hate, yet if the same coach were to bend to his knee and use the same name in Prayer he is a threat, offensive, and on his way to a courtroom for the sake of "diversity" and our "right not to be offended?"

It is high time we get back to the basics in this country. Our voice in our government has been choked by lobbyists and courtroom blackmail by the likes of the ACLU. Our Representatives in Washington have created a country club of rich elitists appalled by our common sense and amused by our lack of nuance. In light of all this- I would like to call three excellent links to your attention.

Please take the time to view this video:

The Declaration of Independence

Then take the time to read The "Congressional Code of Conduct." I believe we should embark on a movement to demand all our Congressmen to sign this document and set it as the basis for their service.

Lastly, I suggest we join together in support of passing the following Bill into Law.

The `Fairness in Forgiveness Act of 2006’

Very good read. Politicians of BOTH parties have become slaves to Special Interest groups, Minority Interest groups and Corporate America. We the People have no real representation in today's Washington. Our Congressmen have NO interest in tackling the big problems.

How about a new Amendment. Congress shall pass no law that is favorable to one group over another group. Or how about the Seperation of Corporate America and State. Congress shall make no law that is favorable to one business over another.

Most excellent, Eeev!

Only one way to change a political deadbeat....impose TERM LIMITS!

[Eagle of Liberty]

impose TERM LIMITS!

All for that as well. Does anyone have a list of Congressmen and their years with their butt planted in Washington? If not, I may generate one. I am very curious to see time spent in Congress, accomplishments, party vs party stats, etc.

[RasterMaster]

Ping me if you locate that info!

[Eagle of Liberty]

I will and I will FRmail you if I decide to compile it myself.

We must be careful not to echo the Lefts mantra about 'special interest' groups and lobby groups. After all, lobbying has been a common practice in America since the founding. And people complained then, too.

The NRA; the American Conservative Union; Taxpayers United; these are all 'special interests'. A lobby group gives the 'little people' a voice in our government through collective pooling of resources. I think lobbies are a good thing.

[FOXFANVOX]

Hey, eeevil. Very nicely done. And no need for any credit to this FReeper. I just hope people will read the "Congressional Code" and follow through. And I can't think of a person with more enthusiasm than you to help bring it to pass. We need to remind these politicians who have lost their way of the trust that they have been given.

Thank you.

[eeevil conservative]

Don't be so humble! LOL!!

I posted this on http://controlcongress.com/

also!

but a shorter version of my rant-LOL!

;-)

[eeevil conservative]

WOW!

Great idea!

[Sensei Ern]

TERM LIMITS! WE NEED TERM LIMITS!

[FOXFANVOX]

I, too, have come to the conclusion that term limits are desirable. If it is good for the Presidency, then it should be good for Congress. (Although like term limits for the President, Congress loves to pass laws for others that they don't have to to follow. I sit here in mandatory age 60 retirement while those clowns in Congress drool themselves into lifetime careers.)

But, I see another threat and that is the outside offer of money and lobbyist positions. Between elimination of these two challenges to ethics, maybe most of the current Congressional malfeasance could be avoided. Maybe.

[FOXFANVOX]

Thanks, twice. Control Congress was above my technical skill level!
