How do we change things?  First we all need to stop and take a long look around America, do you like what you see?  Are we still living in a country that is based on our constitution? for the most part the answer is yes, buy are we letting this beautiful gift called America slip away. do we really challenge our representatives we elect them ?  Do we really know their beliefs?  Do we know their agenda?  Or do we take the way out?   you hear it all the time “My vote doesn’t really count” or “ They all lie anyways doesn’t matter who I vote for .” or “ I just vote my party”.  Mean republicans vote republican democrats vote democratic.  I’am far from perfect, I’am guilty myself , but we are finally seeing where that is getting us.  There was a time that maybe the American people could   get away with being lazy on this but that time has long since past. I understand its hard to pick someone to vote for, it requires some work, and we can not do lazy voting anymore.  We have become a microwave/fast food nation and look at what that’s done to our health,  is it any wonder our government is heading down this road? along with researching the candidate and doing a little home work we can use something all mothers and fathers have used for centuries. what is it? simple look at who and what your candidate associates with. for example my 16 year old daughter wants to date a 20 year old boy who doesn’t work , doesn’t try to work,has run ins with the law and never seems to go out of his way for her she is always running to him. would you want him dating your daughter?  No, you would vote him off the island.  and it sounds tuff but we have to do the same with our representatives.  I know I will hear “you cant judge people like that” Maybe but are you willing to risk your daughter dating a guy like that? well we can no longer treat our country any different.  America is still Growing up and like our children it has to be nurtured, can we stop every bad thing from happening to our country? No, but we can instill the basics to help her weather thru the storm.  And that the same principle in choosing the right people to represent us and our country.  If we try we will at least get some portion of good representative.  I am very proud to see some Americans start to question things. but I am not proud when a representative belittle the very same people he was elected to serve for asking questions, even if the question sounds mundane there is still no reason a “representative” should belittle the “represented” they do not have to agree with a question but they do as a representative have to respect that the people have the right to ask.  We as Americans have to watch and see if our representatives are listening and if not we need to vote them off the island.

Why in a democratic society do we have the position of a Czar? This is not a monarchy nor a dictatorship? Or is it? What are they paid? What facilities do they get? Do they get office space and personel? What exactly are their powers or term restrictions? If you go by the title their power and term is limitless, who do they answer to? Is it Congress? The Senate? Just the President? It’s not the American people though it should be, if we had true representatives, these controllers or as the President likes to call them “Czar’s” should have to be confirmed by Congress at the very least if they make policy or even elected by the American people.

Health care, yes we need it, but we need something that is thought out and not thrown together, not something that is pushed down our throats. Do we need something that is a tribute to a politician whom I have respect for? My answer is no! Why are the politicians not listening to the people? Why are they putting the people down? Are they not OUR representatives? I am not really feeling represented, betrayed yes, represented no. Are both parties going to agree on everything? No,  but there should be some balance. Both parties should come up with a plan and try to take the best of both and work something out. In the mean time let’s get the budget under control. Giving them time to come up with a Proper health plan.  how can they pass something that Nancy Pelosi says we have to pass to see whats really in it.  Are they not elected and paid very well to know what they vote on before they vote on it?

I just read that the United States Government DOE(Department Of Energy) just gave California start up car company “Fisker Automotive Inc.” A 529 million dollar loan to built their product in Finland, you heard me right FINLAND. Fisker Says “MOST” of its DOE/Government loan will be used to finance its U.S. production of a $40,000 family sedan that has yet to even been designed. Their Current vehicle that sales for $89,000 is not on the market and is only taking pre orders at the time of this post. Oh by the way this company is backed by Al Gore, I don’t know if he is an investor or just endorsing it but seeing they got money from the DOE I would guess investor. They have no Design for the $40,000 dollar Electric family sedan but they predict they will sell 100,000 cars in 2012. so let’s take a simple look at this, no design, no car, no plant capable of handling 20,000 units let alone 100,000 units, no retail outlets as of today, though their site shows they have a possible 38 dealers, let’s not forget hiring workers, training them, tooling the plant and countless other things I have no idea about and the government believes they will have all of this done by 2012 oh, and sell 100,000 cars. So we are to believe a Start up Car Company can do this? Let’s look at the closest competition I could find. Toyota Privus sold 158,000 cars in 2008 but they have 1400 established dealers and an established marketplace and the car is $15,000 less and a hybrid not just electric. The car industry is hurting so bad that even Toyota had to ask the Bank of Japan for a 3 billion dollar loan. I don’t know how many average American Families will be able to purchase a $40,000 dollar electric family sedan. It doesn’t stop there, another Startup car company “Telsa Motors Inc.” received a $465 million dollar loan from the DOE/Government and what they produce you may ask, they produce a $109,000 British built electric roaster that is endorsed by celebrities and investors that contributed to Democratic campaigns. I don’t know about you but I don’t think I will be buying a $109,000 dollar car anytime soon. Sure maybe the celebrities and the investors that contributed to the Democratic campaigns will be able to buy a $109,000 electric roadster but it’s unattainable for an average American. But that’s tax dollars at work. We need to change that!

Can anyone name a Startup Car Company in the last 50 years that Survived? The Tucker? The Delorean? Let’s not forget where that Delorean fiasco landed. In a time where established car companies are not doing well why are we throwing money we do not have at two startup car companies? Evidently these companies could not secure money from the traditional methods and do you know why? It’s too risky, it’s a bad investment. The government doesn’t know about business and they prove it time and time again. You never throw good money after bad. We have to stop this wasteful spending. The government cannot continue throwing our futures away, I would have said throwing our money away but its money we don’t have to begin with. And as bad this next comment sounds at some point we are even going to have to stop bailing out the existing car companies. The Government needs to have its credit cards chopped up! Democrats, Republicans PLEASE, STOP THE INSANITY! Stop spending money we do not have you are bailing out everyone but your American people. If a bank can’t pay its creditors you bail them out! No problem mister bank don’t worry here take this money. If an American can’t pay his or her creditors no one bails them out, you even passed legislation to stop them from going bankrupt, Americans get to deal with nasty collection agencies calling and threatening them or calling their neighbors there family anyone who they can get a hold of, But because the banks or the people who control them contribute to a politician’s campaign they get bailed out. I don’t want to believe that last statement, but right now the politicians are proving me right. Please prove me Wrong “STOP THE INSANITY!”

America we are the Governments collection agency let’s start collecting! Let’s put a stop to wasteful spending until we have a manageable budget, and if we don’t see a representative helping us with this “VOTE THEM OFF THE ISLAND” vote them out, an get people in there that want to help Americas pockets and not their own.

America please let me know your thoughts send an email I will post the emails in our email section.

Why did it take so long for Congress to cut ACORN’S funding? It’s not really a done deal yet this action still has a few steps to go thru before the President signs it, let’s hope he does and I just hope it gets that far. How many people think Glenn Beck is right when he says the people that run ACORN will just start over under a new name and get funding again? I think he is dead on, I have seen it done before in Business, you can say well this is not business they are “non profit” or a “community organization”; it might not be a profit & loss business, its worse. Don’t get me wrong there are legit “Non Profit”/”Community Organizations” And I am sure there are some legit people in ACORN but as we saw from the Videos and the Voter Registration Fraud this is not one of them. They seem ever so willing to cheat on taxes, help prostitution and help bring in under age illegals for prostitution. They were able to Defraud the American people by registering Mickey Mouse to vote and still got the job to help do the Census until our American Patriots Named Glenn Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity and the rest of the fox crew Really put on some Pressure, and if these two young Patriots didn’t go undercover they would still have their funding. I know we as Americans love our Heroes but we cannot sit back and let the Glenn Beck’s of America do it all for us, they are going to need some help.

I don’t understand ACORN or their employees they don’t seem to fear anyone or anything even the IRS and are ready to use the race card to get out of Trouble. I am deathly afraid of the IRS when I do or think of my taxes I get scared, what if I make a honest mistake? If I get any money back I go back over it ten times to make sure I didn’t make a mistake. For me the letters “IRS” Stands for “I’m Really Scared” yet these ACORN workers in the videos tell people to lie about this and that, yet because I am posting this I will probably get a visit from the IRS not them. Hmm, can I use the race card too since I am and American of Spanish decent? You know for some reason I don’t think it’s going to work for me. Growing up I always heard Stay Clear of the ”IRS” and the “Mafia” don’t mess with either and you will be okay. Do I have to add ACORN to that list? I know those two young American Patriots that went undercover do. So is it now don’t mess with the “IRS” the ”Mafia”or ACORN ?

I was listening to the Glenn Beck show the other night and I was thinking this guy is a card, he’s really hamming it up, I believe he is 90% right but can he or anyone really be this emotional about our country and everything else that is going on? Is it just an act? Then I was doing some video editing for my Families business and I came across myself talking about these current subjects to friends and family and let’s just say I no longer think he is hamming it up or question can he or anyone be this emotional about saving our Country. In fact I might even have Glenn beat on the ham side but unlike him I was still being very politically correct on here (my website and blog) and with anyone that was not a close friend. To be honest I was afraid if I truly spoke what I feel and what I find to be the truth on here I would get put on some I’m going to get you list and I would have every agency down my throat. Well no more, I do not have the lawyers Fox News or Mr. Beck has, heck, I don’t even know a lawyer but I am no longer going to be afraid, like him I am going to tell it like it is. As an American I have the Freedom of speech, right? Let’s find out if that is correct. That said I think I will still stay afraid of the IRS and the Mafia.

I end this post with a very sincere thank you to Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and the rest of the Fox News team I think you all have become American heroes. You are at least, to this American.
As always I would love to hear your thoughts on this, please respond in the blog or thru email.

I am an American, my Father was born in Spain and came here when he was 7 and became a United States Citizen.  Parts Mothers family can be traced all the way back to the Mayflower. I have grown up with prejudice against me because of my Latin heritage and have seen the down sides; I have also seen all the wonder of being an American and I love this country with all my heart. I was happy to see (and I hate this word) a “Minority” wins the Presidency in many aspects. The reason I hate the word “Minority” is I believe a United States Citizen is an American and Americans should not be titled a “Minority” simply because of his/her Race, Color or Religious beliefs.  I am not a Spanish American I am an American who is of Spanish decent but first and foremost “I am an American”. But as the President is coming from a “Minority” he has a Greater responsibility to listen to the people when making his decisions. Now more than ever we need a True American President,  the current President has all the tools to be one but only if he decides. I want our American Children to have the chance at an American life. “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. We are a republic or at least we strive to be.

I grew up in the greatest country in the world and I was lucky enough to know that from a young age because my Father was in International Sales and would take my mother and myself along as often as he could, so before the age of 10 I saw Canada, Mexico and most of Europe.   I knew and know how well we have it but I feel that the American way of life is fleeting because of our politicians they are spending us into poverty without regard. I think for a few years we need to put the country on a tight budget, they say they have a budget but how can that be if they spend money they do not have? I have a budget I can not spend money I do not have. Maybe for just 4 years we need to cut back on spending, for 4 years stop sending money to other countries, maybe for 4 years let businesses pay for their own advertising, expenses and mistakes and maybe just maybe our higher paid politicians could take a pay cut for a term or two just so we can get things under control and maybe during that time we can have non government auditors look at what the country spends and see what is needed and not. Example education, roads, police and fireman are things that are needed. Some things we don’t need Grants to study the mundane, Grants for free money, More planes for our representatives to fly in, or flying air force 1 over new York for a photo op. I understand since we are a world leader we have responsibilities to the world but since we are a country we are responsible to our country and citizens first.
