MY LETTER TO MY REPS RE: THE DEBT CEILING & BUDGET

Senator Crapo, Senator Risch, Representative Labrador,

RE: The budgetary/financial crisis
CC: Representative Simpson

I’m sending this letter to my elected representatives of Idaho at the National level.

First, I am a 55 year old man who has worked my whole life. I have owned my own businesses and worked in industry for over 35 years, as an individual contributor up to Directing large operations for private companies in organizations of over 150 people and controlling revenue streams of over 250 million dollars, and as a business owner.

I tell you this to let you know that I know how to manage money, how to make and achieve a budget, and how to control costs.

The current debt ceiling crisis is manufactured. Our nation takes in more than enough to meet our obligations and our essential needs. This is clear. Individuals trying to indicate that we are in danger of defaulting, or not meeting essential needs are either woefully ignorant of our economic situation, or purposely fearmongering so they can pursue their own personal or ideological agendas.

Well, I have had enough. I'm sick and tired of seeing my country so blatantly manipulated. I believe most others feel the same.

I am contacting you as one of your constituents, and one of your many “bosses.” We hire you through the ballot box. My vote for you in years past has hinged on a relative few fundamental principles:

1. Fundamental moral principle (meaning the right to life endowed on us by our Creator, fundamental moral principles regarindg marriage, our gender, and God-given principles of behavior).
2. National Security (militarily, economically, energy, and our sovereignty…including our borders)
3. The second Amendment enumerating citizen’s right to keep and bear arms principally as a final defense against tyranny…from without or within.
4. Government that governs least, governs best where the people make free will choices.

I watch to see who gets all four correct and know that if I can trust them there, it is likely that I will be okay elsewhere. And if not, the next election is coming.

My vote for you in the future will hinge on your actions with respect to these budgetary, economic issues.

It is no longer a time for compromise of any sort. Economically we are on a precipice and must turn around before we are dashed on the rocks. The very people most responsible for putting us here are determined to drive us off the cliff. I believe many of them are doing it with a will to “fundamentally” change our nation.

Do no flinch are give in to their tactics. We know what is right:

1. Do not borrow more than you can repay within a reasonable and economically sound time frame. Do not borrow any more. DO NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING.
2. Stop spending our money on unwarranted and damaging programs. Do not give it to foreign nations or potential belligerents. Do not fund ludicrous research into the mating habits of snails, or whether a species in a sub-habitat may become extinct there when they flourish elsewhere. Do not give it to special interests who buy influence, stop funding the endowment of the arts, stop funding national public radio. The list could go on and on. CUT THEM NOW! CUT SPENDING DRASTICALLY.
3. CAP sending at a modest rate of GDP. No more, unless out and out war or national disaster befalls us...not including when some special interest does not get what they want.
4. BALANCE THE BUDGET! Give us a balanced budget or we will find those who will. PASS THE BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT.
5. Reform the tax laws. Make it 10% for everyone. No matter what the source. No loop holes. We would cut a huge expense in maintaining the current monstrosity and agency costs do so, and we would bring in more money than we currently do.

Again, these things are straight forward and they are things we expect our politicians to not only hang their hats on, but to not compromise on. Hold up business rather than ruin it for the future.

Finally…a simple suggestion. Pass the following and destroy the progressive, liberal, socialist element that has been trying to destroy our constitutional republic for the last 100 years.

THE US WELFARE REFORM ACT OF 2012
Any person receiving social welfare (not including social security or medicare) as a primary source of their means of living (a primary source being defined as anything over 25% of their total income), shall, for the duration that they receive such government largess, not be allowed to vote in any local, state, or federal election. Eliminating this basic conflict of interest, which enemies of this Republic use to demean and entrap entire segments of our population, will reform welfare and politics in this country for the good of the nation and her people.

Our founders understood human nature. That’s why the vote was only originally given to property owners, because they were the ones the government of that day had to fund the government and they wanted to make sure that the people only voted for what was necessary by those who were funding it. Make it so today and our nation will reform faster than anyone ever thought possible.

Sincerely,

Jeff Head

AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

AMERICA AWAKES IN 2009 AND DRIVES IT HOME IN 2010

RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION - I AM CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION (IAM-CR)

[Jeff Head]

My letter/email/fax to my reps. I urrge everyone to do the same!

[Fantasywriter]

Here’s mine to Boehner. It’s shorter than yours:

Boehner, go ahead and sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. Conservatives will vote out every Old Guard DC hack that supports your horrible, terrible, grotesque plan to dig us deeper into insurmountable debt. We will vote in droves during the ‘12 primary season. The more you threaten good conservative TEA partiers, the greater our numbers will be.

Go ahead and infuriate the base. We’ll get our say at the ballot box.

A FORMER Republican and FOREVER conservative

[Jeff Head]

FYI...my letter/fax/email. I urge everyone to do the same post haste.

[Publius]

The law you propose is unconstitutional by way of the 24th Amendment.

[KoRn]

Can I copy and paste your letter?

I’ve always wanted to manage $250 million in cash flow!

[Jeff Head]

You bet...go for it.

250 million is not hard when you are a director over a majpor providers notebook/portable computer development.

Anyhow...go for it!

[Jeff Head]

The change “ACT” to AMENDMENT and go for it.

[Jeff Head]

Ooops, that’s “The”, not “The”

[Jeff Head]

Time for lines in the sand and no quarter on fundamental principle.

[Jeff Head]

Talk about fumble fingers...sheez! hehehe.

“Then”, not “The”!

There

[Publius]

Actually, it's simpler than that. You simply have to repeal the 24th Amendment.

[Fantasywriter]

The report that Boehner is threatening—threatening!—conservatives who are trying to vote their conscience and represent their constituents is about to make me blow a gasket. This guy has got to go. He cannot solve the problem; he worked hard helping to create the problem, and now he is working to preserve and protect the problem.

He has got to be primaried and defeated. Nothing less is good enough.

[Baynative]

My fax was short and simple:

"Every poll I've seen shows that 0ver 60% of America wants spending cut and controlled. You MUST listen to us, for once."

I've sent it to every Senator and I'm working on congress now.

[Jeff Head]

Well, either way I believe you would need the same votes in terms of the states, right?

Amending it...or adding a new one that did that to cut out this welfare conflict of interest would also address this.

Either way, this is, IMHO, clearly something that must be done. The libs/Socialists/progressive/Marxists are using it against the nation with a will.

[Big_Harry]

Hi Jeff,

That letter should be an inspiration to all of us to write these clowns that we elected in good faith, fully expecting a strong stand against tyranny by our new crop of representatives. At best, they are a lukewarm bunch.

I just received a call from some friends in Kentucky to inform me that the GOP group that is working with Boehner are sequestering themselves tonight to seek God’s wisdom through prayer. We need to pray that God does answer them and that they will heed His reply.

[Jeff Head]

Way to go! Rock on.

They need to hear from us in such overwhelming numbers that there is no mistake and that they dare not defy the voice of all of us who know what this nation was founded on and will not let it go down like this.

[Jeff Head]

Amen to that! Prayers up!

[Fantasywriter]

I just tried to email my worthless Rep, Jack Kingston. He has disabled all his email contact forms/addresses. I kid you not. It would have been a wasted effort anyway. He is a hack’s hack, and was probably the first Rep to back Boehner’s bonehead plan. Still I wanted to unload. What a cheap creep. They aren’t Reps; they are rulers. We’ve got to clean House, and take it back from these [self-censored]. They’ve gone too far. All we can do now is hit them at the ballot box.

May all the RINOs go down in flames.

I live in SE Idaho and sent a similar message to our two Senators and Congressman Simpson. My message was not as eloquent, but it was succinct.

I got back two responses telling me why they needed to raise the debt ceiling to avoid catastrophe.

Very disappointing.

[Jeff Head]

FYI...the time is now. Contact your reps and let them know enough is enough!
