My letter to Congress

This is the very point that I'm concerned about too...it seems to be encompassing all areas not just health reform when congress is in session.."I personally do not want my country ripped apart,"

"Ripped apart" takes many forms.

With the foolishness of just Bush and Obama we have quadrupled the DEBT of our great nation from all the cumulative spending of every president COMBINED in the history of the United States.

Friday the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) reported an upward revision of $1.2 Trillion that Obama's spending will put us at a Deficit of $9.8 Trillion in 10 years. DEFICIT of $9.8 Trillion -- that is almost equal to the insane DEBT of $10.5 Trillion that Bush gave Obama and that is just DEFICIT spending by Obama.

We don't even have to look at CBO projections into the future... our current $1.8 Trillion DEFICIT is greater than all the cumulative DEBT in the history of the United States up to Ronald Reagan. We are spending into the hole annually what we had once been horrified by as a DEBT level.

If the concern simply remains how well Dems and Repubs get along on their spending agendas then we truly will see what a country looks like when it is financially "Ripped apart."

Meanwhile I hope everyone gets healthcare like the President, and an airplane like his, and cars like his, and maybe even a house like the president... so we can all finally "get along."

Personal jets, special cars, and big, white houses aren't moral issues. Accessible and affordable health care is.

Nobody is saying the only concern is to "get along". Congress shouldn't "get along" on a political level. There needs to be proper debate to ensure proper legislation. It's when party leaders and representatives make up or exaggerate facts to instill fear, which leads to hate, which leads to the dark side (I learned that from the Jedi). I think we can all agree that that is a form of our country becoming "ripped apart" that nobody wants.

Well folks, let's talk budget, shall we? What about the trillion dollar deficet awarded this nation by G.W.? I know we had to support the war effort, but- hey!,wait just a minute....please tell me again exactly what it was that Iraq did to this nation that required us to invade them???? I cannot, for the life of me, remember! I do remember that the Afghani Taliban and Al-Queda are responsible for the deaths of those brave Americans that chose to fight back on that doomed flight that crashed in Penna, and for the bombing of our Pentagon building ,as well as for the devastation that became New York on 09-11-01. BUT...BUT BUT, while G.W. and his able attack dog Cheney, along with thier Right Republican ilk tried to burn the HORROR of 09-11-01 into our national fabric, as if they needed to, they really did a supurb job of changing focus onto Iraq, and ended up bringing Americans to blame them for something they did not do. Just ask RUDY G. That other misguided fool who stated that this country had never experienced a terrorist attack on American soil since G.W. took office... Well just who was that masked man that was reading to the young Floridians on that horrific day?? When Chief of staff Andy Card wispered into that presidential ear, a look of absolute befuddlement crossed the face of the most powerful man in the known universe. I remember thinking, as much as I was able to think during those indescribable hours, Wow!! how very presidential....and then the shock wore off and I then thought, that if the American press valued the prestige of our nation in the world, they would never show that sequence again when G.W. first got the word of what had happened. My Good God...the kids he was reading to looked more presidential that he. But old Rudy STILL holds fast to his falsehoods

This is but one thing that I wish were explained to me.. as for the rest of it, the fear mongering and the false information that resulted in the resignation of a man that I respect greatly, in the person of Sec. Colon Powell, and in the process made a fool of this country in front of the world, all of that I think can be explained by the actions of Rice, and most in particular Cheney. The poor man would know the truth if it hit him in the face with a shovel....but I digress...Just listen to him today with his fear mongering and out and out contempt for the present administration...you know, the one that in six months in office did more to promote Ameriocan values over the entire world the G.W. and Cheney did in eight years.... Think about it... and if you can...Please let me know if anyone can come up with the reason we invaded Iraq....Just curious But rest assured, that when G.W. came into office they had a several billion dollar SURPLUS..a word we haven't even heard in over eight years..So let's talk budget and dollars and sense...Has anyone ever heard of HALIBURTON ?

Anyway...this 54 person seems to have a pretty good handle on things...at the VERY LEAST...she doesn't appear to be one that is led to slaughter as do so many that listen to Cheney and Rush @!$%#bar.. God Bless us all no matter what we hold in our hearts, and please God , Bless this,our America! Please keep it safe and secure for all of our posterity.
