Welcome to the oddity called my brain as I ponder my place and role in the political arena. 

I have, for some time now, self-identified as a sovereign in my own right, a Virginian and then a U.S. Citizen. From my studies, this order is consistent with the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence (DOI). The next logical question was -- so what? What impact, if any, should this have on how and where I spend my political time and treasure? 

Focusing on the national instead of State level has, over a long period of time, played into the hands of those determined to further undermine the ideals found in the DOI by:

• bolstering the strength and might of special interest groups determined to “spread the wealth” and misery equally among the Several States and citizenry
• disallowing those who understand the ideals associated with the founding of this country from seeking political office w/o selling their souls to special interest groups in return for the almighty dollar
• allowing those who currently hold office to dismiss calls, letters and demands as irrelevant because they are not, on any practical level, beholden to me or the State in which I live 

It is Virginia that needs to take a stand and stop our headlong plunge into third world status (or worse). I have greater access to more local elected officials and they are more accountable to me because of that access. 

Does this mean I will abandon involvement at the national level? No. It means that my time is being reapportioned to meet the ultimate goal of helping Virginia assume her rightful place in the Republic and get this out of control freight train called the U.S. government under control. 

Rambling over … what are your thoughts?

What is “main stream media” any way? I am a “main stream” Virginian and U.S. Citizen. Most of the media sure don’t report on the things that really matter without kowtowing to politicians, etc. So stop the “main stream” talk and call the majority of media something else.

Obamacare

Obama does not care about anyone’s health except that of his family and himself (as is his duty). So cut the idea of ‘care’ juxtaposed with Obama and this UNConstitutional power grab over all our lives.

Transforming America

Trannsforming America communicates (to me at least) that something is undergoing subtle changes with the base or root of whatever it is intact. (This phrase was picked up by an Obama speech shortly before his Inauguration, I believe.)

“Remake America” (in Obama speeches) indicates that something is undergoing a level of change that actually replaces the base or root of whatever is being altered. I vote this phrase replace the concept of “transformation.”   

Choice

The virtues that once accompanied this word were finally rejected when the Supreme Court of the United States created a “right” where none existed via abortion-on-demand. Now that’s a change that has remade America. And what is one of the talking points for “healthcare reform” today – people should have a choice (via government control).

Green
Green = A color
Green = Naïve or Inexperienced
Green = Money
Green = Flora things
Green Products, etc = Political Correctness
I think “red” should replace “green” in the context of products, etc.

What language changes would you recommend?

I congratulate you on your ability to accomplish in a few short months what I never thought possible in my lifetime. 

I officially cry “uncle.” You have ignored my pleas to do what is right by Virginia and, ultimately, the United States. You walk in lock-step with an agenda that is hell-bent on smashing to bits the last vestiges of this potentially great Constitutional Republic. 

Here is what I want you to do: 

• Pass “Cap and Trade” ASAP
  
  
• Pass a second “stimulus package” ASAP
  
  
• Take over health care ASAP
  
  
• Allow Sharia law to take over ASAP
  
  
• Outlaw guns ASAP
  
  
• Outlaw free speech ASAP
  
  
• Dissolve all borders ASAP
  
  
• Appoint political activists to the bench ASAP

Why do I want you to take these actions?  Simple – It’s time to disintegrate into the likeness of many European countries, Iran, Somalia, Venezuela and the like. 

When you go home and your little head hits your little pillow, be pleased with yourself that you have pulled the plug on the United States of America. Take us off life-support and allow us to dissolve into total chaos and anarchy – BRING IT ON.

Name

Address, etc.

Contrast that with my U.S. Rep and Senators who can’t tell me:

-         Where bailout monies are going

-         Where illegal aliens are in Virginia

-         What is written in bills they are voting for

-         [ Insert your example here ]

Now these same … people … expect me to believe that:

-         Any government entity can be “successful”

-         My health records will be secure in a government run healthcare system

-         Freddie and Fannie have any positive redeeming value

-         Those charged with protecting our national security can do their jobs with the threat of being prosecuted hanging over their heads  

-         [ Insert your example here ]

• Cut gasoline consumption and stay home more
• Cut hotel stays
• Cut going to local restaurants for meals
• Cut food purchases to bare necessities
• Cut getting hair done by stylist
• Cut clothing purchases to only bare necessities
• Cut either TV or computer subscription
• Cut use of electricity and gas for heating by at least half
• I am sure there are more …

Do I recognize that businesses in my area will be affected? Yes. Does that “bother me?” Not in the long run.  No matter what I do, someone else is affected. 

I bear the responsibility to do that which expresses my sovereignty as defined in the Declaration of Independence.  

Q & A Section

Q: What’s in this for you?

A: I want to do my best to try and stem the tide of government’s hideous and insidious plans to deprive U.S. Citizens’ of their right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness endowed upon them by their Creator.  

Q: What if I don’t agree with your approach and think this undermines businesses?

A: Please disagree.  Discussion is good.  That said, I refuse to be emotionally blackmailed. These are personal considerations, period.

Q: Well if they are ‘personal considerations,’ why put them up here?
