Thank You Mr. President and Our Troops
February 27, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
As President Obama gets ready to visit North Carolina to announce that he is bring our troops back home from Iraq I am happy for my fellow warriors and their families. However, I realize that between now and then the pundits on the Left and Right will cry over the fact that their position is not being followed. Nevertheless, I do believe that the Citizens and Leaders of Iraq can commit to providing their own security even the last American leaves in 2011. So why August 2010 will give our Administration and the Leadership of Iraq 6 months of cushion to ensure that the Iraq Military and Police can keep the Peace, I hope my pundits will not make the mistake and forget about the Rapid Response Teams of our Military. For why ending the misguided war in Iraq may not go according to the best plans presented to President Obama and “We the People” I do thank Americas’ Military for their Service up and beyond the call of duty

Are You a No-Nothing or a Know Nothing kind of guy?
February 25, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Having slept through the President speech to Congress and the Republican Response I am happy that in the 21st Century that “We the People” have 24/7 coverage of Living History in Action. For why I know that the Morning Shows are gearing up to tell us what our ears heard last night and the Political Opinion that you should draw from the remarks of Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. I have to ask My Fellow Americans if they are a No-Nothing or a Know Nothing kind of guy.
For thanks to the technology of our ancestors I was able to listen to President Obama and the Governor of LA gives their speeches without interruption or influenced by the remarks of the Media Pundits. And why I now hold a better understanding for myself on what the two gentlemen was trying to say about the State of America, I have to question My Republican Citizens and Leaders on their choice to give their response to President Obamas’ outlook for America. Because please explain to me how the lack of response to Katrina by President Bush is suppose to make me fear President Obama and the Democratic response to the Economic, Energy, and Financially Meltdown that they have acquired from the Leadership of the Republican Party over the last 25 years and Trickledown Economics. Since why I may not agree with President Obamas’ Trickle-Up Economics I was calmed by his speech and his personal twist on Americas’ State of Being and the path light up for My Peers and Their Children to follow.
Yes, I realize that the Republicans are busy trying to rebuild their party back to a National Force; however, as an Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s I have to wonder how many new members they are going to get as more and more citizens feel the pain of their Wealth slipping away. For why I may agree in Principle that the Individual and State should be able to keep the money they make. I am also aware that much of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has to do with the Standard of “We the People” to provide for the Federal Government that which it cannot do for itself. So I must ask you how “We the People” are losing the Taxpayers Dollar if the renovations of our Federal Buildings and Facilities are made energy efficient; Building a high speed transportation system that can relieve the problems of air traffic; and Spending 300 million to give the Federal Fleet new energy efficient vehicles when those sort of activities are seen as adding value by the Private Sector of Society. Since if I stack up the Presidents’ Argument up against those of My Peers who received the largest tax cuts in history and failed to protect Their Investment or modernize their buildings to be energy efficient I have no contest.
So why does the Republican Party put up pundits that are so easily defeated by their Democratic counterparts? Are they truly of the No-Nothing Party that despite the facts in front of them they refuse to change their way? Or is the Citizenry and Leadership of the Loyal Opposition in America ready to lead Management in the opportunities that await the Children of the 21st Century that has been foretold by the Know Nothing Party of the Mid 1800’s. Because why I cannot speak for the Conservatives of Society, as an Independent Pundit who happens to hold an Unbreakable Argument against President Obama and the Pickens Plan to become Energy Independent I have to wonder about any National Party who would rather see their Grandchildren Money be given away instead of invested in the Government of “We the People” that they will need to help their Grandchildren face the Issues of Man and His Society.
Thus, why I did not learn anything new from last night speeches I am glad to see that more and more of My Fellow Americans are becoming aware of the difference between the No-Nothing Party of the 21st Century and the Know Nothing Party of Americas’ Ancestors of the Mid-1800. And why I am moved by the fact that more and more of Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders are accepting 6the fact that Americans can build a Sustainable Green Civilized Society through the Debate of Labor and Management. I wonder when the National Voice of the Loyal Opposition in Americas’ Politics in going to find the Courage and Conviction to challenge President Obama and the Democratic Party Ideology of Americas’ Energy Independence. For as an Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature do I have to ask My Community Elders and Powers-that-Be for protection against those Individuals or States who would out of the Ignorance of Man limit Their Children Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights to build a Better World?

Accepting the Challenge of Change
February 24, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Why I was not invited to the White House for the Fiscal Responsibility Summit I cannot help but comment on what I witnessed today. For why the extreme Left and Right may still want to believe that they are in the 20th Century I am happy to see that under the guidance of President Obama and Senator McCain that headway was made on the major issues facing America over the next several years. However, I must question My Elders on limiting the Debate of Ideas to those selected by the Administration to attend. Therefore, I ask President Obama to go through with the gathering of ideas and making a Report subject to review by “We the People” for 60 days of Public Comments that would be included in his Final Report.
Yes, time is of essence, but I do believe that the American Citizenry would be better served by the White House and Congress if the American Layman Citizen could be included in the Idea Building of how best to handle the several issues spoke about in the break-off sessions. For why I realize that there is no single Prefect Answer on how America can deal with the budget. I do believe that Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials would be shocked to discover how well informed “We the People” are about the trouble of allowing Washington to keep on spending without regard to the debt that they are burdening the Children of the 21st Century with in the Future.
So why I urge you to write President Obama and your Congressperson in support of Fiscal Responsibility I do hope that you will include your Personal Opinion on any ideas that can help Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders get the Federal Budget back under the control of “We the People” in the next few years. For faced with a Do-Nothing Loyal Opposition due to the fact that they disagree with a small percentage of the efforts of “We the People” I do believe that President Obama and the 111th Congress needs to know that they have the Freewill of the Nation to take the necessary steps which will see America return to a Balanced Federal Budget sometime in the Future.

ARRP goes to Conference
February 11, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Writing in support of Americas’ Recovery and Reinvestment Plan going to conference I hope that the citizens who are not pure political junkies do not believe the game is over. For unable to get a copy of Sesame Street “How a Bill becomes a Law” know that this is just one step in a journey of many. So I hope you continue to contact your Elected Officials and offer them a constructive opinion on what should be included in the final draft that is signed by President Obama.
For why the rant of extreme and talking points of party leaders like Hannity and Rush will surely dominate the air waves and influence Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. I would enjoy discussing with them how a Spending Program or Tax Cut would help those around them. Because why I cannot reach Hannity or Rush for their opinion, I wonder if they would care to explain how given them a Tax Cut is going to help their advertisers and listeners. Are they going to buy every listener every product aired on their program?
Yes, this conference is to iron out the difference between what the House wants and what the Senate will let them have. And why I do disagree with the cuts in the education system, I do believe that with a little bit of Community Spirit “We the People” can actual do better with less from our Government. For why I am neither Event Planner nor “Ty” of Extreme Home Makeover I do believe that many of Americas Schools could be brought into the 21st Century by getting neighbors involved. For if America can build homes for the Poor without government help than painting and erecting classrooms provided the local school broads and businesses pay for the material and draw up the plans would saving our Local, State, and Federal Government more than they would ever spend to stimulate the economy, but also serve add a sense of Community Pride not known since the Great Depression.
Yes, President Obama may be right when he says that Government is not the only solution to the problems in America; however, facing a Loyal Opposition who is hamstrung to the Argument that Doing Nothing is Better I have to ask for whom. For why they may be able to withstand the next four years unemployed in the hope that the Future gets better, knowing that millions of Americans can see past that argument or do not have the means to survive such fallout. I wonder if NIMBY can ever discover why President Reagan Trickledown Economics failed to withstand the attack on the Market. For by his own words President Obama knows that the passing of the America Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is just one step of many bringing change to Washington. So please keep up the pressure on Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders to deliver President Obama a Comprehensive Economic, Energy, and Environmental Plan that “We the People” can hold him accountable.

Just an Observation
February 6, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
After hearing President Obama speak yesterday and blogging over at Watchblog for the last few weeks I do believe that Washington and their Political Charlatans and Vagabonds are in for a surprise in the next few weeks. For why it would be Political Suicide for the Democratic and/or Republican Leadership to not send President Obama a Stimulus Bill, seeing the House version of the bill was dead on arrival in the Senate. I do believe that the Democratic and Republican Leadership in the Senate should have thrown it out and wrote their version of Americas’ Recovery and Reinvestment Plan as they did with the Bailout.
For other than Energy Independence, a National Grid System, and a Transportation System can you call anything else an Economic Stimulus instead of a Pet Program or Project? And why President Obama has the right of the Bully Pulpit to drive that message home to the Members of Congress, I do believe President hit the proper political tone when he said “Stop the Gamesmanship.”
Yes, President Obama may be a Civilized Gentleman knowing he has to work with both sides of the Political Isle; however, seeing that this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature is under no obligation. Let me accept Senator Lindsay of South Carolina Challenge. For I dare him to explain to his Friends as well as me how a tax cut for the Stockholders of an America is going to help me purchase the new High Efficient Cars that will provide My Peers a job?
Doesn’t it make more sense to create a tax cut so the American Consumer can purchase a new High Efficient Car from an American Auto Manufacture thus creating demand and giving the Stockholder valve? Is not that what will grow the economy?
So why I know that the Good Old Boy Politics of the 20th Century makes good talking points at parties. In putting aside the political gamesmanship, I wonder as an American Layman how fast the Members of the House of Representatives and Senate can give My Peers and Their Children President a Bill named Americas’ Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that puts America on the Path of Economic, Energy, and Environmentally Independent in the 21st Century.

Responding to Senator Shelby
February 4, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Hearing that Senator Shelby of Alabama called for a filibuster in the Senate as a way to derail H.R. 1, I looked up his political stance on the issue. So why I can share his position that he is concerned about what it will take to turn the American Economy around. I am even more worried what is going to happen to America if “We the People” do not invest in building a Sustainable Green Civilized Society that can compete in a Global Economy. And why I know that means different things to different people, I do believe that the Senator from Alabama and me can agree that certain developments, programs and tax cuts will help encourage the Citizens in the State of Alabama to rebuild the coast to hurricane standards and prevent what happen during Katrina.
Yes, I agree that most of the Social Programs and Tax Cuts in the current bill should be based on Real Savings instead of the Good Old Boy System. In this manner I do believe that the American Citizen would be rewarded for helping their Democratic and Republican Elected Officials do what is necessary to make America Energy Independent. However, knowing that I am only one voice in millions I still would support a Bill coming out of Congress that forwarded the Debate of how does America Recover and Reinvest as a Nation and a Society that will solve the Issues of Stupidity held by the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s.
So why I will respect Senator Shelby calls for a filibuster in the Senate over H.R. 1 while offering no viable political solution. I do hope that Senator Burr and Senator Hagen of North Carolina will consider H. R. 1 the beginning of the debate on how the Members of the House of Representatives and Members of the Senate coming up with an American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan worthy of the American Spirit.

Moving America Forward
February 3, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
With our Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders believing that Americas’ Recovery and Reinvestment Plan proposed by President Obama is nothing more than an economic stimulus I do hope that My Peers and Their Children will call their local, state, and federal Elected Officials and demand that All Sides of the Loyal Opposition as well as the Main Stream Media see the Bill for its true intent and not the words mouthed by Moveon.org or Rush Limbaugh. For why I know that I can prove their motives of keeping the Public Debate limited to Spending and Tax Cuts. Unless they are willing to stand on the same Argument of Logic and Reason that President Bush and Usoma Bin Laden did 4 years ago about the Ability of Man and His Law, lets as Ladies and Gentlemen show the World that “We the People” can carry a Civilized Political Debate with Americas’ Elders and Powers-that-Be about helping the Children of the 21st Century build a Sustainable Green Civilized Society using the Principles and Standards of the Founding Fathers of America and the Ancient Ones of Songs.
Yes, IMHO as an Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature “We the People” have the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights to call the Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders of America to the Table of the Elders and Powers-that-Be of Man for a Political Discussion. And though Protocol prevents me from saying how, all one has to do is ask the Civil Rights Leaders of the last 30 years. For why I understand why they use the Arguments held by the Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. Knowing that I may not cross that line of Logic and Reason with My Peers or Their Children, I wonder how many American Community Elders and Parents of the 21st Century understand how much the “Younger Generation of Today” knows and respect what they have been told about the Whole of Human Knowledge and Wisdom.
For why I am proud to see the Political Stance of President Obama and Congress, hearing and seeing that it is Their Future and the Future of the Children of the 22nd Century that “We the People” are talking about. I for one would like to see the Pundits in the Main Stream Media needs a crash course in learning how to discuss the Issues of Building a Green Infrastructure and Transportation System. Because why I know that Morning Joe and others on TV are now discussing the problem of not building a sustainable society, Given the Intent of Americas’ Recovery and Reinvestment Plan being talked over in the Halls of Congress? I do believe that they need to advance the conversation by introducing the American Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders to the Citizens of America who can comment of the problems of building a Green Society over the next 10-20 years. Especially since if America Elected Officials and Powers-that-Be follows the Pickens Plan than the $67 Trillion in National Debt, the $11 Trillion in Foreigner owned U.S. Savings Bonds and the loss of over $20 Trillion in sold U.S. Assets becomes an Asset to every American Grandchild somewhere down the line. Yet, with the Senate getting ready to discuss the House Bill passed last week. I am sure that they need help understanding the words Recovery and Reinvestment.
Recovery: Law the obtaining of something by the ruling of a court
Reinvestment: To put income back into a business instead of distributing it as profit.
Problem: Why My Peers may have good intentions, I wonder how many would be willing to tell Their Children how to build a Green World?
And more important, are they ready to listen to the Youth of Today and the American Layperson to see what can be done with the Bill in Congress called The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan.
Yes, the World and more important President Obama and Congress may not be ready to transform the Earth overnight; however, by bringing to the American Airwaves the Common Knowledge from the Experts on how “We the People” go about as Consumers, Small Business Owners, and Taxpayers building a Green Economy through Americas’ Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. I do believe that Equity can be found by the Charlatans and Vagabonds of Washington. For why America could set off to build a 3 Giga Watt Zero Emission over the next 20 years using a fair chunk of the $800 Trillion plus and another fair chunk to purchase from Ford and GM Electric/Natural Gas Hybrids for service vehicle replacement over the next 5-10 years to create jobs, offer investment opportunity, and provide tax cuts. I do believe that if the Members of the House of Representatives and the Members of the Senate could get a Bill to President Obama that only stated: “America is going to build a Sustainable Green Civilized Society over the next 20 years” than it would do good to hush the Critics on the Left and Right of Society. For by introducing in the Political and Societal Tools necessary to give the American Citizen the Self-Awareness of how “We the Corporation” can invest and save in a Green Economy. I do believe that the Children of the 21st Century will surprise the Community Elders and Powers-that-Be of Society.
For why Americas’ Democrats may say A, B. and C will fix the economy and American Republicans may say that X, Y, and Z will fix the economy. Knowing that there are 26 letters plus in the Alphabet Soup available to Americas’ Elected Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders I do believe that My Peers and Their Children should tell them what they are willing to do as Consumers, Small Business Owners, and Taxpayers in order to see that America Banking, Commerce, and Industry can supply “We the People” with the goods and services of the future.
Because why replacing all the trains, planes, and automobiles may seem to be an impossible path to follow, seeing that it took America and Humanity a 100 years to get us where we are now. I do believe that by promoting the idea of seeking Policies and Procedures necessary to move Individuals, Government, and Society toward a Self-Sufficient Sustainable Society that My Peers and Their Children can discover what it takes to build a Sustainable Green Civilized Society.
So why it is My Hope that the Members of the Senate will send the House of Representatives a National Recover and Reinvestment Plan that not only will send the Bill to Committee, but offer “We the People” a package worthy of the American Spirit that can move America forward. I encourage every American Citizen over the Age of 18 to let your Local, State, and Federal Democratic and Republican Elected Officials hear Your Personal Opinion about what has to be done in order to make America Energy Independent in the next 5-10 years using Zero Emission Renewable Power Stations and driving Electric Cars/Natural Gas Vehicles that pay the Owner to drive it. Since even though it is possible, it will take the Voice of My Peers and Their Children to prove that as Individuals, a Nation, and a Society it can be built by Man.
