Vote to Save America

The U.S. economy is in shambles and it is getting worse. We have been operating without a federal budget for well over 3 years and continue massive spending using an avenue of budget circumvention called a "continuing resolution". This is a trick...push it to crisis, then continue spending after minor concessions. Our national debt is over $16 trillion and rapidly increasing at the rate of about $1.3 trillion per year, with no plan to do anything about it. Over 23 million people are out of work or underemployed. There are 47 million people on food stamps, with 1 in 6 people in poverty. The Federal Reserve is flooding the monetary system with new printed money with nothing to back it up that will result in a significant lowering in the value of the dollar and super inflation. Interest rates are being artificially suppressed which is causing still another bubble, while people are already experiencing significant real inflation in the purchase of food / groceries, at the gas pump, in energy costs, with healthcare costs, with all sorts of taxes and fees, and with practically all necessary items to live by.

 

There are approximately 9 million people on federal disability. According to a recent report more than 100 million people are now on some form of welfare, a third of the U.S. population, not counting Medicare or Social Security. Both are laced with significant disability and welfare fraud with no action to do anything about it...in fact it is encouraged.

 

A federally mandated, federally controlled healthcare system was forced upon the American people. A fundamental premise of those who designed it is that money for healthcare should be spent "only for those most productive to society". When it gets into full swing there will be rationing, as intended, seniors and others "not productive to society" will not receive expensive, live saving medical care. They will become expendable. Is this what America has become under Obama? We had the best healthcare system in the world that only needed fine tuning. Yet we have been forced into a system that has already proved to be a failure in Europe and other places. Healthcare for Americans will be significantly worse, if it is available at all to certain groups of people, and rationing will be in place.

 

For many years we fought a Cold War against the evils of socialism and communism. They were believed to be evil ideologies. Yet now we are rapidly moving the United States toward socialism. What has happened to America?

 

The stock market which has the appearance of holding up, may actually be riding on a bubble. With the exception of a few well performing companies (like Apple, for example), much of the trading volume that props up the market is illusionary. The buying is based upon high frequency traders that bid up prices that do not result in real transactional volume. This is the same high frequency trading that led to the 2010 market melt down. High frequency trading accounts for more than half the volume in U.S. stock trading. Not healthy.

 

There is no serious attempt underway to achieve the energy independence that is vital to United States, not only for our economy, but for national defense. Yet this would create millions of jobs and lower costs for Americans. Most disturbing is the fact that energy independence is readily available, all it needs is a committed plan and action. There currently is a stranglehold on business with over regulation that is preventing businesses from succeeding, growing, adding jobs and putting money into the economy. Our space program has been essentially canceled. A program that in the past has produced spin off technology, business and jobs. This has also decreased our status in the world and is a step backward for national defense. Yet countries like China and Russia are moving full speed ahead with their space programs.

 

The Constitution and the Congress have been circumvented by Obama by fiat. Forcing the Catholic Church's institutions and personnel against their will and faith, in violation of the First Amendment, to offer contraception and early abortion services is an abomination, and is only one example. Dictating a change in immigration status of illegal immigrants without Congressional approval is another.

 

The very sovereignty of the United States in under attack. The Obama administration is working with the United Nations to enact gun control in violation with the Second Amendment. There are also talks underway to subject American citizens to a "world court", and international laws not within the bounds of the Constitution. Healthcare directions, such things as vaccination make ups, are gradually being turned over to the dictates of the World Health Organization (UN). There is much more back dealing going on that threatens the very sovereignty of our country, in violation with the Constitution.

 

We have significantly lost status and respect in the world. Our foreign policy is confusing and / or nonexistent. Barack Obama started off his presidency, and has continued with, a policy of apology, appeasement, and signs of weakness. Our military strength is in the process of being significantly reduced. We have turned our back on, and insulted, one of our greatest allies, Israel. Yet they are strategically important -even vital - to the Mid East, the United States, and the free world. The Obama administration refuses to recognize and identify the greatest threat to our country, and to the world, radical Islamic terrorism.

 

Our current foreign policy has pushed the Mid East to the brink of a nuclear war. The Obama administration pushed for the removal of dictators, yet did so with no plan on what might happen in the vacuum created by their removal. Mid East stability was upset, enemies have been emboldened, while at the same time abandoning one of our greatest allies, Israel. The administration misled America by telling us that the Muslim Brotherhood were nothing but an innocuous, harmless organization and had no chance of taking charge in the Mid East. They now are on the verge of doing so and they do have very radical Islamic strains. We failed the Iranian people, when we had a chance to bring about a positive change. Total incompetence was exhibited in this recent loss of American lives and over 30 assaults on our embassies, world wide. The Obama administration sits idly by as Israel is being pushed into a corner in order to fight for their very survival.

 

We were not given the full truth on the murder of the U.S. ambassador in Libya and three other Americans. There was, in fact, a cover up by the Obama administration. It is felt that this was done for political purpose, not what is best for the United States. Total incompetence was exhibited by ignoring early warning signs given by radical Islamic groups, lack of intelligence, and a failure to protect our embassies and personnel on September 11, an obvious day for some type of radical terrorist action.

 

The foreign policy of the United States is directly responsible for what we see in the Mid East today...total out of control riotous turmoil, much of it aimed at the United States. By turning our back on Israel, and showing weakness, we have greatly emboldened those who want to destroy Israel and the United States. The Mid East has been pushed to the brink of nuclear war, possibly even leading to World War III.

 

A true leader takes responsibility for their record.  A true leader brings people together and shows clear progress.  A true leader does not continually blame other people for his failures.  A true leader does not purposely create division among people in order to obfuscate their own record of failure.  President Obama is not a leader.   

 

 

For all of the reasons above, and more, all those who care about the future of the United States and the world....all those who care about their families, their children, grandchildren, and future generations not only should, but must end the Obama reign and vote for Mitt Romney. The wake of what has been created by the Obama administration, all of the above, and more, should be convincing enough.

 

It should have NOT been necessary for me to write this letter. It should have all been fully covered and reported by the media across our nation through all media outlets.

 

Vote to save our country. There never has been such a critical time in our history as a nation.
