Obama's Rock Tour

Obama’s Rock Tour,
The middle east tour of Barack Obama, (rock tour), is to shore up his foreign policy experience, so it can no longer be questioned. This has been the latest from the campaign and the news media. Originally he was going over to meet with the different leaders. Then decided to taking major news anchors. Then, he was touted as the new leader of the U.S. I suddenly thought to my-self, this guy isn’t running for president of the United States of America. He is going for world approval, which means only one thing. He is running for president of the World.
Obama claims, he is about change, what a bunch of BULL. We can’t be the home of the brave, the free, adventurers, or to be as successful as we want to be. We can’t win, (pull out now, no maybe it’s working). Americans need to curb their energy usage, ( heck with him, that’s our choice, FREEDOM). Adventurers, business owners, oil companies, share holders. If you are successful, you need it taken away and given to the less fortunate. 85 to 90 percent of them are told how bad they have it, instead of you can be as successful as you strive to be. This is Obama’s kind of change, man we don’t need this!!!!
So tomorrow after noon, I am calling for appointments with the CEO’s of Fairfield, Lilly’s, Wabash National, Tate and Lyle, Caterpillar, and SIA. By Friday, I will have shored up my CEO experience, and be qualified to be a CEO. I am looking forward to the raise!!!! I apologize, I have to follow Obama’s work ethic for this to work. I need to have 143 days of actual working days as a vice president. Like Obama with 143 days of actual work in the senate. Then I will be qualified to be a company CEO.

Americannots and English is our language

Things to think about…
Democrats, the party of Americannots.
Obama, Bayh, Ellsworth, name any you want, “We can’t drill are way out.”
Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), “We will never deport our way out of the current, broken immigration mess.”
Obama, “America is 3% of the worlds population and we cannot expect us, (the U.S.), to consume 25% of the worlds energy.”
What the new politicians forget is we did win the cold war, we did help and join forces to win WW1 and WW2, we even won the real 1st war of our country, the revolutionary war. We are Americans, we can prosper, (make all the money and be as successful as we want to strive to be). We can be proud of our country and our military. We are the greatest, most caring, and giving nation in the world. We can change things, 2006 was about change, look at what we have now. An ineffective congress and senate. Remember the cannots.
English our national language, should it be mandated? It is, without being mandate. Look on the internet or go to D.C. and look at the original bill of rights, constitution and all 27 amendments, and every bill or law written in the last 232 years. They are all written in English. Our founding fathers and all civil servants since then have cemented that. So the next time I pull up to an ATM, English is the language that should come up. A button can be placed somewhere if you want another language, but we should not be asked. For the last 30 to 40 years the American public has been inconvenienced, but for the first 190 to 200 years, they got it right.
As a union member, I know past practice, 232 years are enough!!!!!

E-mail to my congressman on energy

Congressman Ellsworth,
I am beginning to think you have been infected with the D.C. bug. The oil companies are in business to make a profit. You feel there should be transparency, they have to file their information with the government. The senate and congress talk about windfall profits. A windfall profit, is a profit that is made by someone who had nothing to do with producing the product. The only establishments making windfall profits would be federal, state, and local governments.
With ANWR, it is estimated we could produce enough oil to do away with the Saudi’s. Doesn’t cure the problem, but it is a start!!!!!
Now, biofuel, it sounds good. Now look at the amount of grain it takes out of the food market. Look at the fact that if you use market value with ethanol, and stop using government subsidies. The fair market value of ethanol, would about a dollar to a dollar fifty a gallon more than gas. With or with out the government price fixing, ethanol is not economically sound. Now look at the fuel mileage, ethanol gets about 1/3rd less mpg that petroleum fuels. I do not buy into global warming, but the emissions from ethanol are estimated to be 1/4th less per tank full. So by the 3rd tank of ethanol, you have emitted ½ as much more emissions than if you bought 2 tanks of gas. So, for a person purchasing 2 tanks of gas, (equaling 18 gallons each tank), the total cost would be $147.24 at $4.09 a gallon. A person purchasing the 3 tanks of ethanol, (equaling 18 gallon each tank), the total cost would be $172.26 at 3.19 a gallon. With this information, it is cheaper, cleaner, and more mpg with gas than ethanol. Not to mention more corn based food, at a cheaper price, by purchasing petroleum fuels. That’s with the government price fixing on the ethanol.
For the discussion of the gas tax holiday,(government windfall profits holiday), 18 cent a gallon is a savings no matter what any servant would think. Personally, I buy 18 gallons of gas a week, so saving $3.24 a week adds up. After the 14 week holiday, I saved $45.36. Might not be much to you, but to someone taking care of a family. It could be a lot of money.
All of you politicians need to re-read the U.S. Constitution, your job is to serve the will of the all people that you represent, not just a few special interest groups. 2006 was supposed to be change, I voted for you and others for the change. We changed alright, in the wrong direction.
Think about this, no on new oil, no on the new F-150 and other vehicle slow downs. If you are really trying to keep your core supporters, the union people working. Someone needs to let them all know about the secret, their government is a very large part of their being out of work, with your policies.
Thank You,

Smoking Ban

Smoking Ban
Let’s get real, the smoking ban has nothing to do with a better work environment. It has to do with government control. If it had to with work environment, OSHA would be mandating it, not politicians. It has to do with we can tell you how to run your business, in one more way. It also has to do with taking one more freedom from you and I, next will be not in your car, not in your house, then not in your backyard. I hope our elected official remember how they got their.
How are you going to fund all your programs with the lose of revenue, when people start to quit smoking. Guess we will have to raise taxes on everyone.
Next will be, your over weight. You happen to be on medicare or medicaid, if you don’t lose weight and exercise, you’re not covered for your diabetic and, or high blood pressure medications and testing supplies.
We are suppose to be a free nation, we do not need big brother telling us what to do. We can make our own decisions, it is currently our right. Being a knowing what is best for you person, be careful what you wish for. You may not like what it could turn in to.

Thank You,
