Your representative for your WILL in WASHINGTON
Welcome neighbor! Why not take a load off and visit awhile...
10/28/11:
I received this message in an email today and was asked to share it on the Front Page. I thought about it for a moment and agreed with our neighbor...there's no better time to remind every American citizen getting ready to "choose" their favorite candidate for President about the dedication, backbone and contributions of what a true representative of the People looks like, than right now!!
Measure your choice for President, Congressional Representative, or local leadership up to this type of representative of the People. Our country was built on the foundation of citizens of integrity who understood the guile of business men and women who put profit before People. They who are the "haves" will spare no expense in Research & Development, Product Branding and Double-speak to confound the human brain and manipulate the American spirit to meet their own ends. Countless young American lives have been lost in the middle east and elsewhere over the past several decades in senseless warring that has less to do with preserving American lives and liberty than with a corporation's lust for THEIR pursuits of happiness...PROFIT. And our government has been complicit in passing legislation that has benefitted the banking and corporate "individual" ends, while tacitly ignoring the Will of the People for whom they are in office to serve. In the words of one of the greatest leaders this amazing nation has ever been blessed to have, who met the call to citizen's service with both his head AND his heart, may I present Mr...

-Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
-Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
-Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
-Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
-Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
-Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
-Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
-Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
-Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe thatbanking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
Where are we today District 49 citizens, community members, family, friends and neighbors...let's do a reality check...economically speaking, where are we today? Is your current representation bringing jobs to your district, working on the economic crisis that brings Americans to their knees financially every day? Does your current representation solicit for the Will of the People in their District by reaching out daily about what is affecting the livlihood of each of us? How has your representative voted on issues that directly affect your paycheck and your daily lives?
I've got a few answers to these questions I'll be sharing with our community in the coming months. I hope the answers will help our citizens when they get ready to vote in this upcoming election year. In the meantime, if you have questions you'd like to have answered, please feel free to email me and I'll be happy to respond on the front page. It's time we brought the Will of the People to Washington, District 49...they've foisted their Will upon you, your family and friends long enough, wouldn't you agree?

This is a billboard posted on the I-70 in Missouri...between Kansas City and St. Louis maybe? I just love that "show-me" state. Did you know I was born there? I think they mean business...what do you think At the very least, they don't appear happy with what's going on in Washington and if the press won't cover them...I guess a billboard will do ;-)
Okay, it's time to add something new to the main page! So many of you have responded that the YouTube videos about Griffin's "Creature from Jekyll Island" book, while interesting and very informative, are simply not enough. Well, here's something to get the blood boiling...and maybe a few more California citizens to raise their eyebrows...

I really love getting requests from folks that live in our District 49 community...it let's me know someone's out there paying attention and really cares about their family, friends and neighbors!
The latest request received is a response from our "Blog" page. It's from a gentleman that feels the reason Mr. Issa is still our Congressional "representative" in District 49 is that the people he talks to, like those at his neighborhood Lodge group meetings, have a misconception about what's going on in Washington and how Mr. Issa should be working to represent our District 49 interests while he's working for us there. This concerned citizen has asked me to help in the education process by sharing links to YouTube vignettes about the Federal Reserve (affectionately referred to as "The FED" in Washington circles), and how money works on the national level. He hopes the information in these clips will help shed some light on how our government works with the financial sector, and how that relationship affects us here at home. Contained herein are answers to questions from the "horse's mouth" so to speak. Here goes...enjoy District 49...

Also, just one more 30 minute short to watch. This is a $350k animated film production that went viral within hours of being released on YouTube...it is, of course, the American Dream...enjoy! It's good for the whole family ;-)***************************************************************************************************************************
