YES, SIR, I AM AN AMERICAN AND DAMN PROUD OF IT TOO
My quiet office ^ | 12/08/2004 | Myself

What would you think about starting an organization that will tell all State and Federal elected officials that we are demanding a B+ or better rating to qualify for the list we will all use for our personal voting decisions at every election from now on.

It would be easy to get the news into the newspapers and on television that State and Federal elected officials without a B+ rating will have no chance whatsoever to receive your vote.

I am recommending that we base their grades on three issues.

The socialist idea that American citizens should not be allowed to defend their person and property with firearms is a complete failure as we have seen in England.

Securing our national borders is something that should have been done on 9/12/01.

The United Nations is a blood sucking organization that is corrupt and ineffective.

Issue#1 Support for the 2nd Amendment (Molon Labe)

Issue#2 Support for bringing a rapid halt to the illegal alien invasion from all countries, not just Latin America.
This would of course include a drastic reduction in who can receive the taxpayer supported benefits, of all types! The removal of all who are not citizens or do not have authorization to be on American soil.

Support for a Bill that would halt anchor babies.

Issue#3 Support for removing the United States from the Nations and the removal of the United Nations from our soil.

The empty promises we receive from our legislators are not making AMERICA safer or stronger. Their slanted view of the 2nd Amendment is disgusting. The UN would have been bankrupt long ago if performance was considered.

When I study the performance of our State and Federal Legislators I am ashamed as well they should be, but ironically their standards have dropped so low that they think they are doing a fine job. When I look at their a performance report, I wouldn't hire one of them to work for me.

Legal excuses for their performance on these three issues, they all have, good ratings are quite rare. Let us voters raise the standards of we will accept, not humbly fall in line with what they say we are allowed to have.

I am extremely interested in hearing your ideas on such an idea because I am the father of two wonderful young adult daughters. I want these ladies to have a safe and secure future where will always be proud to say, "YES, SIR, I AM AN AMERICAN AND DAMN PROUD OF IT TOO"



I will never forget September 11th, 2001.

If those are the only three issues, that has been done before. Look at most Americans prior to WWI. It was called isolationism. Didn't work then, won't work now. I like your thought process, but it needs more added to it than just those three criteria.

Check out www.betterimmigration.com and compare Harry Reid (D-NV) to John Ensign (R-NV).

How about demanding congress to pass a bill to establish a rating system that will demand all media achieve a B+ rating in order to stay out of prison? Things like honesty, fact, and unbiased news reporting being the guidelines.

Excellent idea. The general lack of accountability in government performance is a MAJOR THREAT TO THE U.S. and its American objectives and principles. We have seen way too many examples of this for it to even be contestable in any fashion. Just look at what Washington has GOTTEN AWAY WITH in regard to the destruction of the Social Security fund we all have paid into all our working lives...

A media (internet site, etc.) that permitted voting and posting of results along with commentary and analysis would be an excellect vehicle for the ongoing monitoring and reporting of not only individual government officials, but for the Congress and its member states as well.

It is also high time that more Americans started watching their politicians and their government. An understatement, I know.

Good Luck !!!

I am well informed about both of them. If I had a sister, i wouldn't let either of them even speak to her. As politicians who say they love America both Harry Reid (D-NV) & John Ensign (R-NV) are complete failures.

This would of course include a drastic reduction in who can receive the taxpayer supported benefits, of all types! The removal of all who are not citizens or do not have authorization to be on American soil.

The legislation must also contain a provision that when illegal aliens incur expenses that are paid by US taxpayers, the illegals' mother country will receive the bill, to be paid in full, or the illegal is deported.

As you know, this includes non-citizens like freeloaders from Russia who are sucking up tax dollars like there's no tomorrow. When conditions were put on their benefits, the disgusting Russian parasites filed suit against the US government. This lawsuit should trigger immediate deportation. They are obviousley breaking US laws by hiding assets---and filing false documents--- in order to suck up tax dollars. These leeches should be deported, pronto.

This is where the efforts should be concentrated and not waste time on other issues; there are existing groups that protect gun rights, etc.

I'm wit chew (Vinnie, in "My Blue Heaven")!

Actually I've been doing this for a loooong time. Of course, there are some other requirements as well, but I'm sure these are at the top. So, let's do it!

You'll have to throw out the XIV Amendment for this one.
