Hi,
After discussing the Congress in my last blog, I realized the press was saturating the readers with the Republican nominations and the Presidential election and not offering much in the way of Senate Races.
I suggest you GOOGLE 'WHICH SENATORS ARE UP IN 2012'. THE SITE WILL TELL WHICH SENATE SEATS ARE UP FOR GRABS SO THAT YOU CAN DETERMINE if you have a choice.
In Florida, we have DEMOCRAT BILL NELSON. Nelson's popularity has been largely based on his interest in the NASA program but his record in the Senate has not really reflected the majority of Florida voters. Although he has experience in both the house and the Senate, he is not listening to his overall constituency. His defeat would offer a seat to a candidate more reflective of the MAJORITY views in Florida.
The 2012 election offers a ripe opportunity for returning the Senate to a much more REALISTIC BODY OF Congress and if you have friends or relatives in any of the states with a choice, please think about emailing them to remind them that the Senate needs A SWIFT KICK IN THE PANTS AND IT'S TIME TO PICK NEW SENATORS WHO WILL ROUND OUT THE MARGINS OF EXPERTISE AND VOTING POWER. States such as Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Utah, California and Florida are the most vulnerable TO CHANGE.
THE HEALTH CARE BILL, that was signed INTO LAW BY OBAMA, WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY AN OVERWHELMING ONE PARTY MAJORITY and IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A STRONG TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS NOT IN CONTROL OF BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE. That legislation alone caused the 2010 rout of Congress. MAKE NO MISTAKE, the HEALTH CARE BILL and its FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY drove Americans away in disgust.
MAJOR UNEMPLOYMENT AND A SCREWED-UP MORTGAGE MARKET WAS FOLLOWED BY a poor STIMULUS package, AND a FLAMBOYANT HEALTH CARE DEBT THAT RAPIDLY caused A DISENCHANTED AMERICAN CITIZENRY!!!!!!!!!! This is why it is necessary to keep our Congress IN BALANCE. A HOUSE AND SENATE that will take the best of both points of view without an overbearing thrust from either side.
It's not yet too late. 2012 is the CALL TO ACTION AND VOTERS HAVE THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM. A STRONG VOTE FOR A NEW CONGRESS CAN KEEP AMERICA FROM BECOMING A SOCIALIST STATE AND MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES MADE IN ASIA AND EUROPE. It is their socialist economy that is failing while America's economy with all its problems is holding ground.
AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN ASSISTING THOSE WHO HAVE COME ON HARD TIMES BECAUSE OF THE RECESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE, THE CITIZENS OF AMERICA, ARE DOING THAT!!!!AND NOT DEPENDING ON THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!! Yes, There are Government assistance programs for the POOR but many who are in recent need don't qualify. JUST AS AMERICANS HAVE EXTENDED HELP TO OTHER COUNTRIES OVER THE YEARS, THEY EXTEND HELP TO THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS. MEANWHILE, AMERICANS have ALSO tightened their belts and where possible ARE SAVING again. WHEN THIS COUNTRY IS DOWN - DON'T COUNT US OUT!!!!!!!THE RISE OF THE TEA PARTY IS PROOF OF THAT.
Remember that the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES has 435 members who are elected every two years and represent the districts and THE SENATE has 100 members elected every six years representing the states and elected on a staggered basis (NOT STAGGERING IN MOST CASES). THAT MEMBERSHIP IN BOTH BODIES COMPRISES THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. So that a vote to change the make up of the Senate this election can make it more representative of the will of the people just as the election of 2010 helped make the House of Representative more reflective of the nation.
The House of Representatives had no choice but to become obstructive to support as much as possible the desire of its districts. Although the House CONTAINED a majority OF REPRESENTATIVES after 2010, who were against the Health Care bill, they could not act against it BECAUSE THE SENATE WAS PREDOMINATELY IN FAVOR OF THE HEALTH CARE BILL AND WOULD HAVE THEREFORE CANCELLED ANY ACTIONS ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE. So the only option left was to obstruct the PROGRESSIVES' determination to pass MORE SOCIALIST LEGISLATION. The HOUSE DID A GOOD JOB OF HOLDING THE PROGRESSIVES (the CSPs) IN CHECK.
For those new to this blog, a COMMUNIST=SOCIALIST=PROGRESSIVE, or CSP. NAME CHANGING is an old COMMUNIST SLEIGHT OF HAND TRICK. WHEN FOLKS GET "HET" UP BY "THE NAME OF THE GAME", THE GOOD OLD BOYS CHANGE IT TO SOMETHING MORE ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC. The name does not denote a change in VALUES only a change in NAME. After all, they know who they are and what they stand for is Communism.
So CONGRESS DID ITS JOB LAST SESSION BY HOLDING AS FIRM AS ITS SITUATION WOULD ALLOW AND MR.JOHN BOEHNER DESERVES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ENCOURAGING THE HOUSE TO TAKE A FIRM STAND IN A TOUGH SITUATION.
Public criticism often arises from a lack of understanding on the part of citizens about how CONGRESS IS SUPPOSED TO WORK and the blaring PRESS BIAS that encourages that misunderstanding. Perhaps if it's looked at this way, it becomes clearer. IF CONGRESS IS OBSTRUCTIVE, FEW LAWS GET PASSED. FEWER LAWS MEAN LESS REGULATIONS AND THAT IS GOOD FOR A FREE!!!!!AMERICA!!!!! If the former CONGRESS (MANY OF WHOSE MEMBERS GOT KICKED OUT) had been more balanced and therefore OBSTRUCTIVE, America would not have acquired a 10 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT AND A HEALTH CARE BILL THAT CAN'T BE financially SUPPORTED!!!!!!!
Think about it. An OBSTRUCTIVE CONGRESS=LESS LAW=MORE AMERICAN FREEDOM=MORE PROSPERITY=MORE EMPLOYMENT=MORE RECOVERY AND THE AMERICA THAT THE CONSTITUTION INTENDED TO INSURE!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS, CONNIE
