Our Wayward Dysfunctional Government

Speaker Pelosi has allowed the House to function much as a dysfunctional union. If she decides she doesn't like an issue or action, she whines her disapproval and either has the members act-out or walkout. Our government has failed the American people and we need to take it back.

 


I guess first step is to "vote-out" incumbents in favor of some reality-based new blood. Second step may be to set term limits. Then we need to review campaign contributions and lobbying regulations and get some control over wealthy and powerful overlords who rule for their personal and special interests. These actions may give the people more control over their government, but it remains an uphill battle.

"Beto" O'Rourke and the Democratic "Socialist" Party....

Hopeful “conjecture” spin is the only word to define most of the articles on Beto and his “meteoric” rise in politics. “Beto” is a White man who adopted an Hispanic nickname but is as White as most Whites, except that he speaks Spanish and is a former El Paso representative who went to Columbia University in New York City. 

“Beto” is a human comet “flavor of the year” who will soon burn out and it’s supremely doubtful that he’ll win the Democratic Primary, let alone win the 2020 Presidency. The quantity of Democrat runners will be the Democrats’ downfall in 2020. Nothing like having 20-30 Primary Candidates who all are socialist wannabes. It most likely will be another lesson in futility for “Beto” and the Democratic "Socialist" Party..

The reality of Congressional nonsense and the 28th Amendment....


Please read 28th amendment Please Read, and forward. This will only take 1 minute to read! 28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting. It will take you less than a minute to read this. If you agree, please pass it on. It's an idea whose time has come to deal with this self-serving situation:

OUR PRESENT SITUATION !
  • Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans.
  • Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans.
  • Members of Congress can retire at full pay after only one term.
  • Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live,
    • For example, they are exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment.
    • And as the latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.
We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

IF??? Each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message. Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States ..."

You are one of my 20. 6:26 PM President Trump is asking everyone to forward this email to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in the United States will have the message. This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party. The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2017
  1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And, no more perks go with them.
  2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
  3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.
  4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
  5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
  6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
  7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. NO WONDER THEY’RE FIGHTING EVERYTHING HE TRIES! Pass it on!!!! Let's help TRUMP drain the swamp!! Just hold your finger down then hit forward and send it to everyone you know. Let’s help Trump get the country straightened out.

2018 mid-term elections

As we head closer to the mid-term elections we need to view some real Truths.

First Truth:  Both parties are worried, but Republicans less worried than Democrats.

2nd Truth:  Both parties use fear-mongering to get votes.  Democrats use it far more, using Trump-hatred for more votes.

3rd Truth:  Both parties have failed Americans by going to left and right extremes.  What we need most importantly are legislators and leaders more balanced...taking from issues/platforms of left and right.

4th Truth:  Most media can NOT be trusted to tell us the Truth.  We are bombarded by false comments and opinions that have little or no foundation.  Most media have become entertainment and provocation rags.

Good luck!  US Citizens are going to need it.  The future looks grim for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren unless we start moving toward some middle-ground and start working together to resolve urgent issues and our conflicting views!
