And You Thought They Went Away?

As I have been saying over and over again that we all know there are good and bad in everything. That we all fall short. However, Americans just happen to think the majority of those who can't do a good job are in Congress. In my opinion the majority can't of those can't. The only valid way anyone can really know a person is by their works not the exterior package. So here are some issues right off of the Senates own website. Yes active and dormant but ready to go legislation. Have you heard it on the lips of your favorite candidate or not? Either way what does that forebode?
Now months ago I have re-introduced the CCC as a way to help this economic crisis which requires some form of civil service. In fact both issues I discussed in earlier articles on my other site as to how to help this economic mess. Go to my other site to read those articles.
So here are the issues being discussed along with Foreclosure, Credit Card debt, the outsourcing of industry and jobs and what I refer to in my latest article on Problogs as the violation and plunder of America. In my opinion there are still some percentage of good people in Congress. However, the power brokers who drive the car and control it and have the gas dollars to fuel it are the ones I refer to in my writings. Somewhere in the background someone pulls the strings. So here are the issues they really do not mention much of, but in my opinion are "on the back burner for now". That is until after the elections.
1. Military and Civil Service Revisited .
H.R.393
Title: To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make permanent the favorable treatment afforded combat pay under the earned income tax credit, and for other purposes.
Sponsors: Rep Charles Rangel [NY15] 1-10-2007
A must to pout people back to work and shore us up as the worlds police force. We should also not forget China. Yes, our money and the blood of our our sons and daughters.
2. Comprehensive immigration reform. Tell 81% of us who don't know about this one and listen to our candidates if you really think this went away.
S.1639
Title: A bill to provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Ted Kennedy [MA] 6/18/2007.
3. SPP North American Treaty?
S.AMDT. 2797Amends HR 3047 Sponsor Byron L Dorgan [ND] 9/10/2007 see you in New Orleans.
AMENDMENT PURPOSE: To prohibit the establishment of a program that allows Mexican truck drivers to operate beyond the commercial zones near the Mexican border. [Yes right up and through the USA. To Canada].
Need I go on? So if you are not informed and you know not their works and you do not know what they have done or failed to do then how is it you like them and will vote for them? Oh, once gain, if you are not informed and you know not their works and you do not know what they have done or failed to do then how is it you like them and will vote for them? It is as simple as that. The fact is you are hoping. Hey we all hope for things better, yet why do you see it in this bunch? Why, just why?
Once again you are what they are, no more and no less. Oh, I know you do not like that analysis or opinion becuse you do not feel you are anything like them. Well what of you shall know them by their works? Is it not evident you approve of their works or the packaging, so you evidently are in effect like them, regardless of what you profess to others.
These problems just didn't pop out of thin air. They have come about in what they have done or failed to do. If you prosper like them you evidently are for them? Sure don't like one thing or another but overall like them. Yet if you suffer like the 40 million or 15% that are in toruble and the other 25% slowly catching up to that 15%.who lost and you continue to lose, you just better pay attention and wake up.
Why you say? Well just go food shopping , put gas in the car, pay your utilities, insurance, taxes, mortgage, etc, etc, etc. and you have your answer. Don't like it, well I can understand why, but you can't run from it and it is truth, period. That,"I feel your pain" isn't quite believable unless you are going through what average Americans are. Sorry tell yourself there is nothing you can do its their own fault. Yes, right, answer given and no amount of words, reasoning or response will change you.
You shall know them by their works says it all . Now I too hope that somewhere inside these peole there is a spark to awaken them to what they are doing and have done is not for the common good of Americans. Yet that would be naive. They have been and are indoctrinated into another lifestyle and they have been convinced there way is right. They are stuck in their way. I equate that to the coach who continues to run the same game plan even while failing insisting his way is right. They who cannot change but forge ahead no matter what and when they fail it is nevere by their hand. They have words for that, ego, pride, arrogance.
My friends unless we make the changes for oursleves do not expect any real change. The only answer is Change Congress Change America and that's a fact Jack, as the movie line says as a matter of fact.
