TAKE MY GUNS, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE

Good post Ice.  I don't care how he spells, at least he has his head screwed on straight.

Just wrote to everyone in Oregon. Not a long, elaborate message, but I think I got my point across.




During the presidential campaign we kept hearing the slogan "change we can count on" over and over. Obama certainly talked a big game and made promises. One of the first things that comes to mind is transparency. We can see what is going on in the government, but that has been the exact opposite of what has been happening. We're not getting transparency, we're getting closed-door deals where we don't know what is going on. Many of them. We want to know what is going on. We, I, want him to hold himself to what he promised us.



Double standards or special deals for groups that supported him. I'm tired of double-standards. This new healthcare tax issue is making me upset and getting old fast. Why should a certain group of unions get tax deals while everyone else has to pay more for their "cadillac" health package deals? What happened to equality? The way it looks is that, hey if you vote for me, I'll cut you a special deal. If not, too bad.



Firearms: he said he didn't oppose law-abiding citizens from owning them and, etc, etc... I haven't seen him personally put anything out against gun ownership, but I'm constantly seeing more and more anti-gun proposals. We don't need more laws to take more guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, we just need to enforce the laws we have.



And I touched on healthcare and want to continue on that briefly. I don't want a government mandated program! I want smaller government, not larger. I don't want to have a government which constantly says we need more and you kind of have a choice about it, but not really. The majority of the people don't want it.



It is time that government stated listening to its citizens and what they want instead of a few people at the top deciding, "Hey this sounds good, lets do it even though it isn't what the country wants. It only matters what I think they want or should have."



Stop spending. Stop spending more and more and more taxpayer money! This is a bad trend we're in and it must reverse. Not for us, but for the generations to come. We cannot continue on this path if we want the United States to succeed. Cut programs that don't work. Slash funding for programs that don't work or aren't wanted. Stop the earmarks on bills submitted, just do what needs to be done rather than pushing for personal agendas or repaying a favor that got you something in return in the government.



Lastly, illegal immigration. I'm for immigration, but am completely against illegal immigration. It needs to stop, now! Stop worrying about offending someone all the time and start doing what needs to be done in this nation. Kick them out if they're here illegally. Tighten border security. Stop giving them a free ride! No free schools, no free healthcare, no drivers license, no anything but a trip back home and a better way to keep them home. Would you let someone come into your home uninvited, eat your food, drive your car, raid your house for medicine? No. Why would you let them do that to your country then?



I haven't been too involved politically, but I'm starting to pay more attention. It is time for the government to stop doing what it wants and start doing what its citizens want. You work for us, we don't work for you. Let me say that again as some of those elected seem to have forgotten that. You work for us, we don't work for you! We're finally starting to watch, starting to pay attention. I can't speak for everyone, but those who aren't doing what I think is best aren't going to get my vote. I will vote for the other person, no matter what political party they're affiliated with. That is a guarantee. That is change you can count on! Not doing a good job of representing the people, you're fired. You don't work for Congress, you don't work for the President, you work for the people.



Patiently waiting and watching,
