--------CountryWatchdogs by Committee
-----------THIS WILL BE THE LAST BLOG !!!!!!!!
--I started the blog because it was removed from Countryside's speak-out.
The intention was for transparency of the board, for members to have a way to express their opinions, and let all members that go home know what was going on in our great community.
Some of those thing indeed happened, transparency ,
as the new President " Marcia Feeney" it happened, she changed the way things got done at Countryside.
Good things have happened, but I am most disappointed of members participation "The Blog " gets over 300 hits a day out of 1,133 members that's dam good. Problem being comment's
I could not post, not signing their names to reasonable comments made.
Members voice concerns all the time but do not take ownership or responsibility, they want someone else to voice the concern. --I am not being critical just disappointed.
--------The blog was for the members.
The Board works on policy and management on procedures.
-----So, if there is a concern about an employee the member should go to management.
Anytime, a member has a policy issue they should go to a Board member.
-----For all those who enjoyed it and participated in it. Thanks
-----------Don't forget
"MEMBERS FORUM" -- A GREAT PLACE TO BE HEARD

I reserve the right to bring it back should things change to the way they were !

Yes there are other patriots here at Countryside and I hope this message reaches them for their support,. I also hope it reaches the Board and the committee responsible for this change.
Please bring back our large AMERICAN FLAG as soon as possible. I am proud to be an American and can't tell you how great a feeling it was to turn down Davis Blvd. on our way into Countryside and see our large American Flag flying in all its glory. At night it was awesome to see it aglow in all its majesty.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all at Countryside. May this 21st year at Countryside be a banner year for all who dwell here.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA. Dennis Cummins, Country Hollow III

JURY Duty Scam
DO NOT DELETE WITHOUT READING !
------------Pass this on to your grown children. This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). Please pass this on to everyone in your email address book. It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury DUTY coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo, your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma , Illinois , and Colorado . This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system.
The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites , warning consumers about the fraud.
Check it out here: http://www.fbi.gov/page2/june06/jury_scams060206.htm
And here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp
Yep! It's true
Please make sure and pass this on!

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government” --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
Lately comcast is removing channels from there programing. There is a failure in the reception and when it comes back on, we are a few channels less. Several have disappeared in the last week or so. We have to look else where for a provider. We have a year or 2 left on our present contract. So lets start now. R L
There are plenty of year-round golf members who would like to play in club tournaments but are fed up with step-aside shamble, 10% handicap formats (a sandbaggers dream). Tinkering with the handicap system is a turn off for many of us. A team of 25 handicappers loses 90 strokes while a team of 10 handicappers lose 36. Where is the equity? Why do we bother establishing handicaps only to disregard them in tournaments?
I think the system, as conceived by USGA experts, should not be disregarded on the club level.
Our 4th of July tournament was canceled due to lack of interest and this Labor Day field is only about 60%.

NEW STAMP - THE SECOND TRY
Apparently they think that putting hearts and butterflies on it will make most people not realize that the rest is Arabic and probably not something we want to support.
New Stamp - the second one!!!
USPS New 44-Cent Stamp Celebrates a Muslim holiday. If there is only ONE thing you forward today... let it be this!
President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 44-Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.
REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office.
All you have to say is "No thank you, I do not want that Muslim Stamp on my letters!"
To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors. REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of Pan Am Flight 103!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Military Barracks in Saudi Arabia !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on 9/11/2001 !
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!

What's going on down there in Countryside? Is the sunken bar finished? How does it look? Is the back gate fixed yet ? Has there been anymore break ins? Does anyone know if the new code (flood plans) will effect our insurance premiums in Countryside? It would be good to know as soon as possible seeing that we start working on our yearly budgets around the end of September.......................................Carl Hicks

TWO OF THE YEAR'S BEST COMEBACK RESPONSES
If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer's credibility .....
Q: 'Officer --- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'
A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'
Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'
A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'
Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'
A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'
Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'
A: 'Yes sir, we do!'
Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'
A: 'Yes, sir, ... I do.'
Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'
A: 'Yes, sir.'
Q: 'Now, ... why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'
A: 'You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'
The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's 'Best Comeback' line -- and we think he'll win.
Number 2:
Now We Know Why He Was a General -----
In an recent interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.
His answer was classic Schwarzkopf.
-------The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function .... OUR job is to arrange the meeting."
You got to love them both!

Driving in the rain......This may save your life
GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR
How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour.
We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it. It is useful...even driving at night.
Most of the motorists would turn on H IGH or FASTEST SPEED of the wipers during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the windshield is still bad......
In the event you face such a situation, just try your SUN GLASSES (any model will do), and miracle! All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.
Make sure you always have a pair of SUN GLASSES in your car, as you are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend's life by giving him this idea..
Try it yourself and share it with your friends! Amazing, you still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain falling.
You can see where the rain bounces off the road. It works to eliminate the "blindness" from passing semi's spraying you too.
Or the "kickup" if you are following a semi or car in the rain. They ought to teach that little tip in driver's training. It really does work.
This warning is a good one! I wonder how many people know about this~ A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kilgore , Texas she was traveling between Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining, though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!
When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON . She thought she was being cautious by setting the crui se control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane and your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.
The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat
sun-visor - NEVER USETHE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN
THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY,
along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry.
The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the patrolman), was a man who had a similar accident, totaled
his car and sustained severe injuries.
NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on. If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life.

A Must Read I almost didn't read this. Glad I did.
Way to go Congress…….I now have even a bigger respect for Arizona !
Born and Raised…this is so wrong!!!
My name is d'Lynn. I'm a disabled Vietnam vet. I don't look too bad for a beat-up old fart, do I? And that's my ride. She's looking pretty good also, especially when you consider that she'll turn twenty this summer. That's right, it's a 1990 with a 1990 sidecar. I can't ride a solo bike, ergo the sidecar rig. It's my sole means of transportation - rain or shine, snow or wind, and this summer also marks a milestone in both of our lives, as I will finally be able to pay her off. Twenty years old? What? Why did it take so long? You weren't paying attention, were you? It's right at the beginning of this paragraph.
I am a disabled vet, which means I receive a veterans administration disability pension, which also means "I'm broke!" Just one step ahead of being homeless every month, and that's not an idle statement or an "Oh, woe is me" dire complaint. There’s a point to this, so hang in there a minute or two and read on.
There's a 25-year-old illegal immigrant woman living in Florida , with eight kids. Yes, eight "anchor babies" and she receives just shy of $1,500 per month per kid, plus medical, plus food stamps.
Oh, wait. I've been informed that I shouldn't call them Food Stamps anymore. That's not PC. It's all called “Social Assistance” now. You do the math on that yourself. I'd say that she was schooled early in how to make it in the system. Twenty-five years old, eight kids . . . . . Yep, she started early.
You can whip out the calculator if you want, but this woman, who never has paid a dime in taxes of any kind, (and still doesn't – she's 'illegal,' remember?) is here in this country illegally. She hasn’t paid out one cent in medical for all the “anchor babies,” makes more in one month, legally, than I receive in over a year and a half in disability payments and I can't even get food stamps! Oops, I mean “Social Assistance.”
Technically I am eligible for “Social Assistance.” I was told it would be a walk through – a gimme – being disabled. No problem, and in the very next breath I was also informed that under the law the amount I received in “Social Assistance” would be deducted from my disability pension.
Let's say I take a great photograph. It was just luck, a one of a kind accident, in the right place at the right time shot. My local newspaper offers me fifty bucks to use the photo in a featured story. (I live in a small town and fifty bucks is all they could afford.) I have to report that fifty dollars to the VA as earned income, which will immediately be deducted from my next month’s disability check. If I don't report it I’m in violation of federal law and technically they can stop my disability pension and prosecute me under a federal felony. Pretty cool, eh? For fifty bucks.
I see no point in dealing with two federal bureaucracies, so I don't bother. What's the point?
She's here illegally and with just one kid would make over twice what I receive per month. She has eight and she’s not a stand-out case. She’s not alone. That's the way the system works. Millions of illegal immigrants know this, know how the system works and know how to use it. (Haven't you seen the pamphlet? It's handed out all along our borders, "The Illegal Immigrants' Guide to Keeping America Just The Way It Is.") and that's just the way it works.
Did you know that the federal government provides a “refugee” in this country with a monthly “stipend” of $1,890, plus $580 a month in “Social Assistance?” That’s $2,470 a month, tax-free. That's two and a half times what I’m allowed to receive as a disabled vet. And just what did they do to earn this? All you have to do is show up on our collective doorstep, raise your right hand and swear that you're a refugee and, bingo, receive $30,000 a year, tax-free. That's more than someone making $15 an hour, and they have to pay taxes to boot!
Now, in defense of the Veterans Administration, they are doing what they can with what they've got. This is precious little compared to what they should have to get the job done. At least this country has a VA.
It's the Senate that keeps passing laws, rules and guidelines, cutting their budget, denying requests for more staff and computer systems to handle the massive work flow. Their hands are tied by the very government that's supposed to give them what they need to get the job done, by the government you voted into office. Don't scream at the VA. I have. It's misguided anger.
The point to this “story?” Just why are you paying such high taxes to support this incredibly screwed-up government? Why? And I’m not proposing you stop paying your taxes. That's wrong. There are good programs and reasons to pay your taxes and support our government.
What am I proposing? It's quite simple. Vote.
The government, our government, is broken and we as the voters serve as the maintenance crew. We fix it . . . . . by voting. If your state Senator has been in office more than two terms, vote 'em out at the next election. If your state representative has been in office more than two terms, vote 'em out of office. We put term limits on just about every publicly-elected official in the country except the House and Senate.
Why? Believe me, they know this and love it! Ahhh - the power!
I don't care how much you believe your Senator or Representative is doing a good job. They're not! Look at the government you have....that we have. How can you state they are doing what you want as the voter that put them there? How?
Vote them out of office. Do it.
Change the course of this country's history by what you are granted and guaranteed under the law. Vote! And if you have the guts, the anger, the outrage, start a petition in your state for a state-wide initiative to be placed on your next state ballot. Limiting the terms of office for your state senators and state representatives to your federal government to two terms.
The federal government will never pass such a law, but you can. You can get it done. You can force it. You can make it a law.
This is the first step in “getting it right.” Just vote. It's simple. It's easy, dammit!
This first step will send a very clear message. It’ll work. It’ill put “us” back in control of “them.” As it should be. As it was intended in the first place.
Are you an American? Born and raised? Then vote!
Side note: I sent this e-mail to a little over one hundred on my e-mail list. If you believe I’m wrong or misguided or you simply don't agree, that's fine. Go right ahead and delete this e-mail. No problem. Sorry to have bothered you. But if you think I just might have a worthwhile idea, something we can easily accomplish, something that could be a small part at getting this country back under “our” control, then please pass this along.
Way to go Congress…….I now have even a bigger respect for Arizona !
Born and Raised…this is so wrong!!!
My name is d'Lynn. I'm a disabled Vietnam vet. I don't look too bad for a beat-up old fart, do I? And that's my ride. She's looking pretty good also, especially when you consider that she'll turn twenty this summer. That's right, it's a 1990 with a 1990 sidecar. I can't ride a solo bike, ergo the sidecar rig. It's my sole means of transportation - rain or shine, snow or wind, and this summer also marks a milestone in both of our lives, as I will finally be able to pay her off. Twenty years old? What? Why did it take so long? You weren't paying attention, were you? It's right at the beginning of this paragraph.
I am a disabled vet, which means I receive a veterans administration disability pension, which also means "I'm broke!" Just one step ahead of being homeless every month, and that's not an idle statement or an "Oh, woe is me" dire complaint. There’s a point to this, so hang in there a minute or two and read on.
There's a 25-year-old illegal immigrant woman living in Florida , with eight kids. Yes, eight "anchor babies" and she receives just shy of $1,500 per month per kid, plus medical, plus food stamps.
Oh, wait. I've been informed that I shouldn't call them Food Stamps anymore. That's not PC. It's all called “Social Assistance” now. You do the math on that yourself. I'd say that she was schooled early in how to make it in the system. Twenty-five years old, eight kids . . . . . Yep, she started early.
You can whip out the calculator if you want, but this woman, who never has paid a dime in taxes of any kind, (and still doesn't – she's 'illegal,' remember?) is here in this country illegally. She hasn’t paid out one cent in medical for all the “anchor babies,” makes more in one month, legally, than I receive in over a year and a half in disability payments and I can't even get food stamps! Oops, I mean “Social Assistance.”
Technically I am eligible for “Social Assistance.” I was told it would be a walk through – a gimme – being disabled. No problem, and in the very next breath I was also informed that under the law the amount I received in “Social Assistance” would be deducted from my disability pension.
Let's say I take a great photograph. It was just luck, a one of a kind accident, in the right place at the right time shot. My local newspaper offers me fifty bucks to use the photo in a featured story. (I live in a small town and fifty bucks is all they could afford.) I have to report that fifty dollars to the VA as earned income, which will immediately be deducted from my next month’s disability check. If I don't report it I’m in violation of federal law and technically they can stop my disability pension and prosecute me under a federal felony. Pretty cool, eh? For fifty bucks.
I see no point in dealing with two federal bureaucracies, so I don't bother. What's the point?
She's here illegally and with just one kid would make over twice what I receive per month. She has eight and she’s not a stand-out case. She’s not alone. That's the way the system works. Millions of illegal immigrants know this, know how the system works and know how to use it. (Haven't you seen the pamphlet? It's handed out all along our borders, "The Illegal Immigrants' Guide to Keeping America Just The Way It Is.") and that's just the way it works.
Did you know that the federal government provides a “refugee” in this country with a monthly “stipend” of $1,890, plus $580 a month in “Social Assistance?” That’s $2,470 a month, tax-free. That's two and a half times what I’m allowed to receive as a disabled vet. And just what did they do to earn this? All you have to do is show up on our collective doorstep, raise your right hand and swear that you're a refugee and, bingo, receive $30,000 a year, tax-free. That's more than someone making $15 an hour, and they have to pay taxes to boot!
Now, in defense of the Veterans Administration, they are doing what they can with what they've got. This is precious little compared to what they should have to get the job done. At least this country has a VA.
It's the Senate that keeps passing laws, rules and guidelines, cutting their budget, denying requests for more staff and computer systems to handle the massive work flow. Their hands are tied by the very government that's supposed to give them what they need to get the job done, by the government you voted into office. Don't scream at the VA. I have. It's misguided anger.
The point to this “story?” Just why are you paying such high taxes to support this incredibly screwed-up government? Why? And I’m not proposing you stop paying your taxes. That's wrong. There are good programs and reasons to pay your taxes and support our government.
What am I proposing? It's quite simple. Vote.
The government, our government, is broken and we as the voters serve as the maintenance crew. We fix it . . . . . by voting. If your state Senator has been in office more than two terms, vote 'em out at the next election. If your state representative has been in office more than two terms, vote 'em out of office.

Members absent from Naples may not have had an opportunity to catch up with the flurry of commentary in the press concerning the above, whereby residents of Golden Gate appear to have been impacted more than others by the new dispositions. Regardless however it behooves us all to be acquainted with the measure to be certain that any changes implemented do not impact adversely our community at Countryside. A copy of Brent Batten’s commentary “Maps spur flood of questions” published in the Naples Daily News on August 22nd. Is attached for reference.
Flood zone categories have changed and it is possible that buildings rated/ zoned in years gone by have experienced a fresh rating due to new data available. I have not made any comparisons. However a quick analysis of Countryside based on the new data indicates the following.
1. Single Family Homes: X - YELLOW - a low risk flood zone
2. Countryside Condos:
1, 4 & 5 are X - YELLOW - in a low risk flood zone
2 & 3 are PURPLE - a limited risk flood zone
3. Countryside Verandas:
1 is PURPLE - a limited risk flood zone
2 has PURPLE & ORANGE - a survey is recommended for the Orange - it is AH flood zone.
3 & 4 have buildings in YELLOW - PURPLE AND ORANGE - survey recommended.
4. Country Haven Condos:
1 is ORANGE - AH - an elevation survey recommended.
2. is PURPLE - X500 - survey probably not necessary.
3 & 4 .are ORANGE - AH - survey recommended.
5 has PURPLE & ORANGE - survey recommended
5. Country Glen Condos:
1 is PURPLE - X500 - survey probably not necessary.
2, 3 & 4 are ORANGE - survey recommended.
6. Country Manor Condos
1,2,3,4 & 8 are PURPLE - survey probably not necessary – limited risk zone.
5,6,& 7 are YELLOW - in a low risk flood zone.
7. Country Hollow Verandas:
1 ORANGE & PURPLE - Survey recommended for the ORANGE.
2 PURPLE - X500 - Survey probably not necessary – limited risk zone.
3 ORANGE & PURPLE - Survey recommended for the ORANGE.
Those of you who may like to explore the matter further could use the following link to access data.
http://maps.colliergov.net/websites/dfirms/femaprelimdfirmviewer.html
.
The surveys are recommended to secure an ELEVATION CERTIFICATE to confirm or otherwise dispute the elevation defined on the FEMA document. Some readings may be borderline and an adverse elevation could impact insurance, as also a banks willingness to extend a mortgage to potential buyers of property in the buildings.
Responsibility for certification measures lies with the individual associations thus you may wish to give this matter some thought in advance of the October Presidents Council meeting, at which the item will be on the agenda for discussion. Should surveys become necessary it would seem logical that a system be developed for the work be farmed out to one entity that could take care of the requirements of the entire community rather than have several different companies on the job. Cost would be lower also!

TRUE................. USA - YA RIGHT!!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans,
Homeless etc.,?????????
In the last month we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey ..
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income'
receive no aid or get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Millions of $$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to
make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
USA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children
going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc.
YET...................
They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water,
tents clothes, bedding, and medical supplies.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US'
the same support they give to other countries. ---------- Sad isn't it?

President Obama kept his promise and is pulling all the Combat troops out of Iraq. Seven years and several months since President Bush invaded Iraq, Over 4300 of our troops killed in action, around 25 thousand severely wounded, not to mention the thousand that have Post Traumatic Stress. Over a" Trillion" spent on this war. Iraq doesn't even have a Government. What did we accomplish by going to war in Iraq?
I remember seeing those planes crash into the Twin Towers in New York. I remember shortly after the terrorist attack, Bin Laudin taking credit for such a cowardly act. I thought this government would go the end of the earth to bring this pig to justice. Almost nine years since and he's still not been captured. For seven months after the attacks we were hot on Bin Laudin's trail in Afghanistan, then we made Iraq our number one priority loosening the effort to get Bin Laudin.
Don't get me wrong, I think President Obama has made some mistakes, but when he does good, like keeping his promise to pull out of Iraq, he should be commended.
If he thinks that a mosque should be erected near ground zero, he absolutely wrong.

APPARENTLY, THOMAS JEFFERSON FORESAW EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY!!!!!!!!!
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:
"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to
gather at one time in the White House with the exception of
when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .---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 that banking 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.'
I WISH WE COULD GET THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!!!
I've done my part!

Food for thought! REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER !
---------Just a little incentive to show up at the polls....every time!
More significant evidence to throw out the incumbents in November 2010! In case you haven't figured out what's happening, here's a wrap-up of the program.
Overwhelm The System Wayne Allyn Root
Barrack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University , class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward and Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted
on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no
responsibility to pay for it.
-- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little
to do with health care. Â It had everything to do with unionizing
millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding
15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
-- Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to
do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global
warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income,
government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kickback hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama spread the wealth around."
----- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state?
Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along.
His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
-- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12
million potential new citizens free health care alone could
overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
-- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went
to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions --
including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government
employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
-- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government.
--------Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created
a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
------------Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.------Wayne Allyn Root
