We are hearing all kinds of tales, really, really, tall tales about how good things are. Stay the course; don't make changes in leadership, etc.
If we do as they tell us, we will come to an end, the end of our great country.
There is no chance for survival if we don't restore things to what they should be. Following the Constitution as it was meant to be by our Founding Fathers. Reducing the size of government. Reducing the intrusion of government into our daily lives. Reducing the tax burden to all. Cutting spending. Sending more powers back to the states on local matters. Making sure that our judicial system is interpreting law not creating law by legislating from the bench. Making the lands within a state's boundaries the responsibility of the state and not the property of the federal government with the exception of the National Park System. Education is a local issue. Welfare is a local issue. Freeing up our energy resources so we can become independent of international trade imbalances. Allowing all of our resources to be used in a responsible manner. Protecting our borders and limiting immigration to a level that is controlled by our economy and not by the border crashers. Allowing states to be responsible for healthcare and the availability of it. Allowing health insurance companies to market nationally. Setting guidelines and rules for safety and environmental protection without destroying responsible business practices.
Unfortunately we have a federal government that wants to control everything and be responsible for everyone. Many states are following in their "big brother's" footsteps also.
Tuesday November 2nd is trash day. It is time to throw out the trash. Those who are part of the problem and those who have let the problem grow. It is time to replace the trash with those who love our country as it was meant to be, those who want to restore our country to its greatness and those who will not sell their souls when they get to Washington D.C.
Read, listen, study and find the TRUTH. Don't fall for what is being told to you, study it out and pray about it. Then vote for those that fit your ideas of where we should be heading. The important thing is to vote!
I want the America that I knew growing up to be the one that my children and grandchildren experience. An America that is great and doesn't apologize for being so.
May God Bless us and America!

America does it right!
Even though our country is in big trouble because of our government and current administration's idiotic policies, America, the real America still does it right!
We have some heroes from the U.S.A. in the Chilean Miner Rescue story. Too bad our country hasn't recognized what they did. The capsule was designed by a NASA engineer. The Drill was made by Schramm, Inc. from Pennsylvania. The Drill Bits were made by Center Rock, Inc. located in Berlin, Pennsylvania. The lead driller Jeff Hart ...and his team are from Denver, Colorado. They are on loan from the US Military in Afghanistan where they are drilling water wells for our Forward Operating Bases. They were called in because they are the best at what they do! So where are the White House ceremonies, the press, the parades and the celebrations for the heroes that saved the 33 miners? Oh, sorry, they are from industries that are being vilified by our current administration. Congratulations guys, you were incredible! We know what you did! Thank you from the real America!
Here is a link to more of the story.

Open your wallet or stand up and be heard!
We have talked about this before and I will keep talking about it until something is done about it. January 2011 is bringing the largest tax increase since World War II to our country. How? The Bush tax cuts are going to be allowed to expire. This will create a huge tax increase on the citizens of our country. Some more than others.
Obama talks about not raising the taxes on those making under $250,000 a year. Yet he is ready to allow that group of people to be hit the hardest by this tax increase. He says he is not raising taxes; it is just a change back to where taxes were previously before the wealthy were benefited by Bush's Tax cuts.
Here are some real facts for you to tell all of the wealth hating people you run into. The wealthiest were given the smallest cuts in the Bush tax cuts! If the cuts are allowed to expire like Obama, The LAME Duck Congress, the Democrats and the Marxist/Socialists that Obama has as economic advisors want, here are what the tax increases will be for a wide spectrum of the income scale:
Annual Income % Increase in taxes after January 2011
$ 10,000 /yr 16%
$ 20,000 18%
$ 30,000 14%
$ 40,000 11%
$ 50,000 10%
$ 75,000 11%
$100,000 11%
$125,000 11%
$150,000 11%
$250,000 11%
$500,000 10%
$750,000 10%
$999,000 10%
Now I may not be one of the world's great mathematicians, but I can certainly see who got the largest tax breaks and who didn't. Consequently, it also shows who is going to get the largest tax increase after the first of the year. Those who can least afford it! If you make under $40,000 per year, you are going to take on the largest of the tax increases. Sounds fair? This is also the group that has had the worst employment numbers over the last two years.
What will this tax increase do? The Obama administration says it will make the wealthiest pay more of their fair share and allow the government to spend more of their money towards social programs that will benefit the middle and lower class. Is this true? NO! What this will do is cripple the economy. When we are finally beginning to get our feet back underneath us from the devastating collapse of our economy in 2008 and 2009, the rug is being yanked out from underneath us again with a tax increase from the tax cut expiration, an increase in costs due to Obamacare and all of the cute little extras jammed into the bill by our dear elected representatives, and worst of all, a slew of new fees, taxes, costs and massive increased spending from just a few of the bills that are on the agenda for our LAME Duck Congress after the elections. Just a preview of a couple of the bills that are to come:
Cap and Trade (Not the name they are using now but still what it is): Will run the costs of energy for each household in the country up by about $3,200 per year so that the Chicago Climate Exchange and the government can make money off from trading of carbon credits. This is worse than anything Enron ever dreamed of. The trading literally brings no decrease in any kind of greenhouse gases or other so called causes of climate change. It just lets there be profits made from trading absolutely nothing other than something that was dreamed up that makes people think they are helping?
Amnesty/Dream Act: A way to allow illegal aliens to become legal status residents in our country. Meaning they will now get full benefit of all of the government programs including Social Security. The cost will be hundreds of billions of dollars per year! The biggest problem I see from this? You will now have a group of low income workers in our country that will quickly become the largest organized labor pool we have ever seen in our country. La Raza and S.E.I.U. will be quickly organizing and recruiting members from what was once the illegal worker pool. Now they will have unions backing their wage requests, demanding benefits, retirement, pensions, work rules etc. You will see a multiplication factor of five to seven times the cost to employers for the same workers that were once illegal aliens. This will create an inflationary era in labor costs in our manufacturing and service industries like we have not seen in the history of our country. If they are replaced by other workers, they will just go on government support programs costing us more than they are already taking! This will become an organized labor nightmare for the employers in our country. The easiest solution? Hire illegal aliens to do the jobs! Right back where we were before the Amnesty! You will see hundreds of thousands of illegals come pouring across our borders to get jobs that the old illegal aliens are too expensive for! No secured borders mean an ongoing illegal alien crisis in our country. The old illegals will be on our unemployment rolls while the new illegals will take the jobs at the old costs again.
The other bills that are on the agenda are ones they haven't been able to get through without causing serious conflict for the Democratic members of Congress also. If they try and pass them before the elections and they vote for them, they won't get re-elected. The easiest solution was to stall them, do nothing, and take them up after the elections when they can blame the bills on the LAME Duck Congress. We, the dumb citizens of this country have short memories on what our elected officials voted for and after all, it is a long time until re-election. We won't remember by the next time to vote for them.
We are being played as idiots! We get told lies and believe them. We get influenced by false claims and we make false judgments on the evils of capitalism. We are given the solution to the crisis by allowing the government to take control of the evils created by the greed of capitalism and conservatism. The government can make these evil things not happen anymore, level the playing field, allow all to be equal in status and through this great social engineering project our country can regain respectability in the world market and allow us to take our place as part of the great global economy and help all of those in the world with less than us so that we can all be equal in status in the world.
Welcome to world Marxism/Socialism and the stepping down as a great power in the world. If you are ready to have your hard earned rewards spread out equally to all of those with less and many of them who don't want to work or support themselves; do what we have done in the past and let the system run as usual. Don't worry about voting. Don't worry about getting involved. The government will take care of us and all will be happy because we will all be the same.
OR, you can take up the cause, vote for restoring, stand tall and firm and pronounce the truth to all who can hear, send the power hungry bums home and show our Heavenly Father that we recognize His hand in the development of this great republic. Show Him that we are grateful for what He has blessed us with and that we stand for and live the principles of Faith, Hope and Charity as individuals and children of God and NOT as servants of an evil design to destroy our country and what our government was meant to be and should be.
May God Bless us and America!

Conviction
So hundreds of thousands of New York servicemen and women have not received their vote by mail ballots as part of the new law that requires states to send the ballots to their servicemen and women so they can vote in time for the elections. This is in pure violation of the new law and they are giving the finger to it. Thank you New York for your effort. I hope those involved in this travesty of rights by our men and women in the services get tried convicted and sentenced to some really long, hard time in prison! Seriously! Why is there a TEA Party movement in this country? This is one of the reasons! Our government officials mostly stink to high heaven! They are rotten, dirty, conniving, power hungry, evil twits. If they haven't signed on to the TEA Party principles and values, they must be sent home ASAP! Am I passionate about this? You should be also!
We are lacking something really important in our country, CONVICTION! Too many go with the crowd, bend with the wind, follow the leader (not good being that most leaders anymore are not worth the toilet paper they use.) and give in to the public opinion.
What has happened when old morals and standards are no longer looked at as necessary because they hurt the feelings of those who don't like them? Religious people who hold their beliefs are now challenged as "phobics" against those who like to practice the sins or transgressions. And because they are not tolerant and preach against sins, transgressions and bad choices in living, they are accused as the bad people and the ones that should be looked down on.
This reminds me of people who owe my business money on delinquent accounts. Because we aggressively try and collect and sometimes sue for payment, my company becomes the bad guy! Why does being in the right make us the bad guys anymore?
I have a bumper sticker on my car that says "Why does my being right make me extreme?" Anyone else want one? I have some more!
We need to look deep into our inner beings and decide who we are, what we stand for, what we believe in and how strongly we feel about those things. Then we need to stand up, state our beliefs, live them, practice them and show that we are not going to give in to the masses who want to turn the table on us and make us out to being the bad person!
This goes for religion, business, politics, neighborhoods, family, friends, communities, etc. This means standards in behavior, morals, principles and beliefs. We must not be afraid to stand for what we believe! We must not be afraid to speak out against what is wrong, regardless of what it is. And most importantly, we must not ever give into public pressure meant to have us weaken our resolve in our beliefs.
The attacks on those looking to restore our government to what it was meant to be have intensified during this past month. Radicals, extremists, hate mongers, "phobics" wackos, etc. That is what we are. I can live with being called that. So can you. Just follow what you have been taught all of these years and do what is right. What the others call us doesn't matter if we do what is right and show the world that we live our beliefs. Example is greater than words.
Twenty-three days until our time. Make sure you are registered to vote, vote and vote for those who believe as you do. Don't take the words of the media as truth. Research, study, and pray about who would be the best person to represent you and your beliefs. Then vote to restore.
May God Bless us and America!

Politics as usual in Washington DC!
Oh look, we have a new stimulus bill that will help small businesses and put a ton more regulations and strings attached to its use. Imagine that, strings attached from something from Washington. The problem is we still don't know what is in it. We have another bill that is longer than "War and Peace" and with pages that are not completed yet.
We have a Congress that is suddenly, too short of time to do anything other than go campaign. The bills to keep or remove the Bush Tax Cuts are all suddenly too much to try and pass before the elections! Uh oh! That means we are getting the tax cuts jerked out from underneath us and a whole new level of taxes for all of us that will literally kill the economy! These tax cuts removed will increase taxes for everyone! Not just the rich as BO likes to tell you but everyone! Great time to raise taxes! Oh, I'm sorry I forgot, the National Board of Economic Research declared that the recession was over in June of 2009! How forgetful of me! The recession is over, pass it on! I loved their timing of declaring the recession was over fifteen months after it supposedly ended and right before elections. OOOOOOOOOH! What is that smell, did somebody step in something? No, it is just Washington DC at work.
So now that the federal budget is passed and we can get on with... What? The budget isn't passed yet? But they have had it forever! Who hasn't brought it for a vote? The Democratic leadership? But they want it to go through so that their spending can stimulate the economy! They are trying to shutdown the government? Why would they want to shutdown the government? You mean they are really trying to shutdown the government and blame it on the Republicans right before elections? But that will hurt many of their spending programs and their friends in the government and unions! So, what you are saying is that everyone is expendable when they have an agenda set. Everyone including the American people.
How many other bills are being held up because they don't want you to know what the result of the voting on the bills will be until after the elections? Try fourteen. Simple bills that would enrage the voters if they knew what was going to be passed. But don't worry, it won't cost any of them anything, they will do it in the lame duck session and blame it on those going out in January. Then those that are left in January with the new elected seats can just shrug their shoulders and say it wasn't their fault, the lame duckers did it!
Very few incumbents that are running for re-election are worth saving. The power hungry game of Washington DC has affected too many of them. This is why we need to replace anyone that has fallen into the power game and forgot why they are there.
Register to vote. Get your family, friends, relatives, neighbors, associates to register to vote. Research the issues and discuss them with anyone that will listen. Then get everyone out to vote on November 2nd. If we don't we will be faced with two more years of people that will feel enabled because they were re-elected. If you think the last two years were bad, just wait till you see what they come up with if they think we like what they are doing!
May God bless all of us and may God Bless America!

What have I done?
Have you ever been sitting contemplating life, your achievements, where you are in completing your goals, etc. and realized that you are asking yourself, "what have I done?" I was doing this the other day.
First, I thought, I have made it through this recession so far! I am a small business owner. I rent semi-trailers for a living. I rent to trucking operations, construction companies, distribution companies, manufacturers, and people who have sold their home and their new home is not ready. Wow, could I pick a group of customers that have been hit harder than these? My books tell me no. I can't tell you how many customers I have lost to bankruptcy or going out of business in the last three years. Yet I am still here. I have been blessed, even though it doesn't look like it some times. Heavenly Father has helped me; my being in business today proves that point.
Second, I thought, I took on a new role as a political activist in the early part of this century. The year 2000 brought new meaning to "what the government can do for me". I realized what that saying should really say is "what the government can do to me!"
After reading a lengthy article about the illegal immigration invasion in our country and the financial crisis it has created in many of our states, I got involved in the illegal immigration issue in 2002. This led to getting more involved in the role government was taking and the role it was ignoring that it should have been involved with. This brought on a realization that our government "of the people, by the people and for the people" had perished from the earth. Abraham Lincoln had not been correct, we had failed our forefathers. This was not something that I took very well. I got angry and started letting my elected representatives know this. If I walked up to any of our elected officials today and said hi to them, most would not know me. When I introduce myself, there is an immediate look of recognition on their faces. I am the name at the top and bottom of many of those letters they have received over the last seven years. Some supportive, many reminding them that they were not carrying out the role they had been elected to by the voters.
Third, I thought, how did I become a TEA Party member? Who started it all? The person who did a blog post, the one who goes by the user name of Gmack. He posted on January, 19th 2009 an article with the title: Mail a Teabag to Congress and Senate. This was the first known date of the modern TEA Party beginning. I heard the discussion on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 on the Glenn Beck Show talking about starting a nationwide movement of the TEA Party. Then Beck's 9-12 Project and We Surround Them grew and sparked attention. April 15, 2009, I made the trip to the Federal Building in downtown Salt Lake City and joined my very first protest rally at the ripe old age of 50 something. I was not going to let the government destroy our country any longer. I was joined there by thousands others with the same thought and we shook the foundation of the federal government that day in the rain, sleet and snow. We were not taken seriously by the media or the government. We were just a bunch of right wing extremists that were trying to instigate violence according to them.
Fourth, I thought, we needed to send a message to the country, we had to let Congress and the White House know that the old gentlemen's club in Washington DC was going to come to an end and we were going to send representatives that had the interests of the voters and our country at the top of their priority list and not what would get them more power. As Glenn Beck puts it, "those who would not lose their soul" when they got there. I ran as a delegate for the state Republican convention with the goal of removing Bob Bennett from his Senate seat. I was one of hundreds with the same goal. We cast the vote that was heard around the world that day, it was not going to be business as usual anymore, the voters were taking back the government from the progressives, socialists, Marxists, Communists, and so called conservatives that would not stand up and stand their ground. Bob Bennett was voted out at the convention and our movement roared forward to other states with the same results.
Fifth, I thought, does my joining Glenn Beck's "restoring honor" movement and his call for us to have "Faith, Hope and Charity" solve all of the problems of the country? No, but it will sure get us back on the right path.
So "What have I done?"
I have thought about this a lot and I feel pretty good about what I have done. I have survived the recession so far. I have become a voice on the watchtower calling out the threats that I see. I have become another voice in the throng that has demanded change. I have taken action and stood my ground demanding that what is right be the norm and that those pushing for change to what's right be taken from power. I have looked to where my blessings come from and reconfirmed my faith that this country was created by God and not man.
I have done a lot. You have done a lot. We all have done a lot. We have regained position in the country. We have made those who want to destroy our country take notice. We have had the press react to us. They are wrong in what we have done. They don't understand what we have done. But we do.
We should all be happy with our accomplishments. We have created a wave that is going to have a dramatic affect for the good on our country. It is time to accept that this change we have brought about is good. We have accomplished something that is so large, they cannot understand it. It is okay to look at this and smile; we are doing what we should be doing. We should all have a feeling of great accomplishment!
Now we must finish! If we let off, our gains will be lost. If continue to press forward, we will restore the greatness to our country. November 2nd is not far off. Make sure that you, your family, your relatives, your friends, and your associates are all registered to vote. Then vote for who will be good for America!
The University of Utah marching band has been playing "God Bess America" and then the "Star Spangled Banner" with representatives of our armed forces and/or police and fire fighters acting as the color guard for our flag at every home football game since 9/11/2001. It brings chills to me every time I hear these songs and see our flag. This is what we are doing this for, so that our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren can experience the same thrill and love for our country that we do. May God bless us and America!
First, I thought, I have made it through this recession so far! I am a small business owner. I rent semi-trailers for a living. I rent to trucking operations, construction companies, distribution companies, manufacturers, and people who have sold their home and their new home is not ready. Wow, could I pick a group of customers that have been hit harder than these? My books tell me no. I can't tell you how many customers I have lost to bankruptcy or going out of business in the last three years. Yet I am still here. I have been blessed, even though it doesn't look like it some times. Heavenly Father has helped me; my being in business today proves that point.
Second, I thought, I took on a new role as a political activist in the early part of this century. The year 2000 brought new meaning to "what the government can do for me". I realized what that saying should really say is "what the government can do to me!"
After reading a lengthy article about the illegal immigration invasion in our country and the financial crisis it has created in many of our states, I got involved in the illegal immigration issue in 2002. This led to getting more involved in the role government was taking and the role it was ignoring that it should have been involved with. This brought on a realization that our government "of the people, by the people and for the people" had perished from the earth. Abraham Lincoln had not been correct, we had failed our forefathers. This was not something that I took very well. I got angry and started letting my elected representatives know this. If I walked up to any of our elected officials today and said hi to them, most would not know me. When I introduce myself, there is an immediate look of recognition on their faces. I am the name at the top and bottom of many of those letters they have received over the last seven years. Some supportive, many reminding them that they were not carrying out the role they had been elected to by the voters.
Third, I thought, how did I become a TEA Party member? Who started it all? The person who did a blog post, the one who goes by the user name of Gmack. He posted on January, 19th 2009 an article with the title: Mail a Teabag to Congress and Senate. This was the first known date of the modern TEA Party beginning. I heard the discussion on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 on the Glenn Beck Show talking about starting a nationwide movement of the TEA Party. Then Beck's 9-12 Project and We Surround Them grew and sparked attention. April 15, 2009, I made the trip to the Federal Building in downtown Salt Lake City and joined my very first protest rally at the ripe old age of 50 something. I was not going to let the government destroy our country any longer. I was joined there by thousands others with the same thought and we shook the foundation of the federal government that day in the rain, sleet and snow. We were not taken seriously by the media or the government. We were just a bunch of right wing extremists that were trying to instigate violence according to them.

They don't understand what we are doing!
A friend sent me this quote today.
"Indeed, some people now claim that the Founding Fathers’ worst fear in connection with religion has been realized; that we have, in fact, a state-sponsored religion in America today. This new religion, adopted by many, does not have an identifiable name, but it operates just like a church. It exists in the form of doctrines and beliefs, where morality is whatever a person wants it to be, and where freedom is derived from the ideas of man and not the laws of God. Many people adhere to this concept of morality with religious zeal and fervor, and courts and legislatures tend to support it.
While you may think I am stretching the point a bit to say that amorality could be a new state-sponsored religion, I believe you would agree that we do not have to look far to find horrifying evidence of rampant immorality that is permitted if not encouraged by our laws. From the plague of pornography to the devastation caused by addiction to drugs, illicit sex, and gambling, wickedness rears its ugly head everywhere, often gaining its foothold in society by invoking the powers of constitutional privilege.
We see a sad reality of contemporary life when many of the same people who defend the right of a pornographer to distribute exploitive films and photos would deny freedom of expression to people of faith because of an alleged fear of what might happen from religious influence on government or public meetings. While much of society has allowed gambling to wash over its communities, leaving broken families and individuals in its soul-destroying wake, it reserves its harshest ridicule for those who advocate obedience to God’s commandments and uniform, inspired standards of right and wrong."
(M. Russell Ballard, “Religion in a Free Society,” Ensign, Oct 1992, 64)
October 1992! I would love to ask him what he thinks now and to update this comment to today's status.
November 2, 2010 is now 50 days away. This is the first official battle of Restoring America. The changing of a large percentage of Congress will only be the beginning of the long effort that it will take to win.
The victory on that day is looking good, but it will only happen if all of us, our families, our friends, our neighbors, our relatives and associates: register to vote, study the candidates and then vote for those candidates that want to restore America, have smaller government, adhere to the Constitution, increase state's and personal responsibility, will not lose their soul in Washington D.C. and will uphold principles and values in their service.
Many rallies have taken place during the last few weeks. The press, the White House administration and the old way incumbents laugh at them and talk about how ineffective they are and how disorganized, hateful, racist and radical they have been. They don't understand why there has been such a waste of time, resources and effort to put on these events.
Remember what I said about the parables a couple of weeks ago and how the enemies of Christ couldn't understand them. We are witnessing the modern day version of the same thing. Not that Christ is teaching! But those that know the truth and are teaching it are not being understood by those that hate the truth. They can't see how anyone is at risk of not being reelected; the old rule is the incumbent doesn't lose!
The elections will be a great win with our votes.
The lame duck session will be a great loss to our country and the Constitution. We will see more evil intentions and agendas transpire in one and a half months than we have seen in the last 18 years! Not all by Congress, administrative and executive rulings will be a large part of the evil to come.
Our efforts will need to be sustained for many years to stop and reverse the damage that has been done to our great country. Take a deep breath and get ready to work hard.
Our children, grand children and great-grand children will thank us and probably many more generations after. Returning this country to what it once was is our responsibility, we are the ones that let it drift so far from where it should be.
Ask for help from your Heavenly Father, stand firm where you should be and in your convictions, speak your mind, demand the truth and remember:
FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY!
May God Bless America!
