Mitt Romney is now the Republican candidate and he will make an excellent President. With your help he will beat Obama. Following are the 4 simple Steps that we need to take. Please take them seriously and become involved in this process to beat Obama and save our country. Below are the powerful yet simple Steps that we need to take. This is followed by some background information on Romney for your information.

Here is a suggested approach on what we need to do to rid our country of Obama by making SURE he gets voted out of office before he completely destroys America. People who have never before been activists should become activists to the extent recommended here. The future of our country, the future of your children, grandchildren, and future generations depends upon it. Don't be a person who failed to act when it was needed.

Here is what you can do:

1) Give financial donations to the extent that you can to the Tea Party. Why give to the Tea Party? We need to counteract the many "Obama" organizations, their activities, the onslaught of the media, Hollywood and the entertainment industry, and the over billion dollars that he will raise from these sources. Organizations like ACORN (they are still there), MoveOn.org, Media Matters, Hollywood, corrupt Union bosses (union workers are not the issue, leadership is) , and the hundreds of front organizations funded by George Soros. The Obama campaign will also use widespread voter fraud and this has to be exposed and overcome. (Why do you think they fought against voter ID's?) All this has to be counteracted and the Tea Party can do it since they are already organized and will strongly support Romney. Many think they have gone away, but they have not, they have been just laying in wait.

The Tea Parties have become a very powerful force in America and this is the reason why the left hates them so much and falsely portrays them. They are just good ordinary people, next door neighbor types...very responsible and friendly. Many had never attended a political rally before. Most of their signs were home made, not provided by an organization. They are not all "right wing", but include concerned democrats, independents, and just plain concerned Americans that have attended their rallies. They all share a deep concern for the current direction of our country and are peacefully expressing their concerns. Nothing could be more American. They ARE NOT racists, radicals, terrorists, barbarians, etc. etc.

Most all Americans are concerned. The Tea Party represents a voice for the concerned. We should all be concerned. You don't have to be a "member" or attend any rally, but you are urged to give them your financial support. They are a voice and an organized strength that can help turn this situation around.

Step 1 is to support the Tea Parties.



2) Give a financial donation to the Romney Campaign for President. Even if you have never given financial support to a candidate before, this presidential race is different...it will determine the future of America. It is critical that we financially support Romney. You can bet that people like George Soros, Jeffrey Immelt of GE, and others will pour millions of dollars into support of Obama. Some of it will be done illegally through front organizations, or through false people (made up, deceased, etc.) . They have done this before. The media will represent hundreds of millions of dollars free advertising / propaganda support for Obama. This is a huge hurdle that needs to be to overcome through our financial support.

Please give the Romney Campaign your financial support....$10, $20, $50, $100....up to the legal limit, whatever you can afford...BUT GIVE. This financial support will definitely be needed to overcome the Obama onslaught.

Step 2 to is to financially support the Romney Campaign for President.



3) Make sure you vote and encourage others to vote in the Presidential election in 2012. Your vote is sacred and necessary...it is critical. Also vote for those who will be supportive of Romney in the US Congress, he will need all the support that he can get. Vote very carefully at the state and local levels of government so that we elect people who will be supportive to bring back America to what it should and can be.


It is pretty obvious that we are now headed in the wrong direction. We need a groundswell, starting at the local level, to turn this situation around.

Step 3 is to VOTE and encourage others to vote!



Step 4 is to become an activist during this election to the extent that you feel comfortable, but do something! It may be a sign on your lawn, a bumper sticker, attending a rally, helping in some way with his campaign, writing a Letter to the Editor, or Op-ed, calling a television or radio news organization or program, etc. Those with prominence and positions should attempt to use your position to appear in the media and state your position. By doing all of the above, by people seeing your willingness to stand up for what you believe in…this will influence others…YOU can make a difference and influence others.



Step 4 is to be active in your support of Romney.





These are 4 simple Steps where we all can be activists toward placing in office a President and those who represent the American people, and the future of America. This is a very, very critical time. To not act at this time would be tragic. To act is easy. All you have to do is keep informed, be active, and financially support, to the extent that you can, those who can bring America back to what it should be....and VOTE.

You are urged to consider this. If we all work together we can succeed. Let’s take back America. This is a critical time. Please do your part.

Romney Background Information

It is very important to have good and factual information on Romney since he will be under unmerciful attack. His qualifications for President are nothing short of excellent. He has a business, managerial, and leadership background. He knows how to manage finances and a budget. He is an excellent communicator. He speaks clearly and can be firm, yet he knows how to work with others who have a different view in order to get things done, without sacrificing the basics, the principles, of what he is attempting to accomplish. He is an excellent family man, has an excellent moral background...and he is clean from corruption and personal issues that seem so prevalent in politics today.

In regard to the issues that he will be faced with, it is important to deal with the facts, not what is reported and purposely distorted in the media about him. First, Romney is a conservative, he is miscast as being a moderate. This will be explained below. If his characterization as a moderate brings in more votes in that area, so be it.

Being a Republican Governor of Massachusetts, a one party Democratic state, is no easy chore. Yet he did an excellent job with an 85% Democratic legislature, and with most all city / towns controlled by Democrats in the state. Not easy, yet he did an excellent job. He kept his "finger in the dam" on spending and managed the budget with a legislature that wanted to spend, spend, spend, as well as do other outrageous things in Massachusetts.

Very importantly on healthcare, people forget that the strongly Democratic legislature in Massachusetts pushed like crazy for a state controlled healthcare approach. An opinion on this is that they wanted to set up a forerunner model in order to force a nationally controlled healthcare on America, and that Ted Kennedy was strongly behind this. Yet Romney pushed back on the legislature and refused to sign the state bill until certain concessions were made that were more reasonable and rational. He did then sign the bill. It now has mixed reviews, some good, some bad. Yet if he had stayed on as governor he would have made corrections on the bad aspects of healthcare in the state since that is the type of leader that he has demonstrated to be. Healthcare will continually come up during the campaign and he will have to answer the questions on this. You should at least know some background.

As Governor of Massachusetts he was an excellent and SMART communicator. On every single critical issue facing the state he clearly stated his positions and the reasoning behind them. He did this through TV and radio ads, or through publicly communicated interviews. In other words he brought his positions DIRECTLY to the people so that they knew exactly where he stood on the issues. Many politicians do not do this and allow the conduit of newspapers, such as the Boston Globe, NY Times, the Washington Post, etc. to put any spin they want on their positions. He went directly to the people.

Concerning the issue of abortion and the fact that he changed his mind after being pro-choice: Most important is where he stands now and the fact that he is he sincere. Saint Paul changed his mind, as well, since earlier in his life he persecuted Christians. At a Massachusetts Citizens for Life Mother's Day Dinner, on May 10, 2007, where he was the guest speaker, people listened very, very critically to every word that he said. He fully explained his transition and reasoning for becoming Pro-Life. He was believed to be sincere and today this is believed to be his true position. That is what counts.

In regard to his tenure as CEO of Bain Capital he actually had an excellent record of helping and growing the majority of companies that he was involved with, while at the same time making money for Bain. In some cases they had to make some tough decisions on companies that were not successful...they were in the minority. That is what leadership and capitalism is all about.

On the issue of being a Mormon that will most probably come up... It is suggested to look at the type of person that he is, the values that he displays, and the fact that he is an excellent family man, with a beautiful family. His religion should NOT be an issue and hopefully it isn't with you.

Here is why Mitt Romney is REALLY a conservative:

* He is a fiscal conservative, believes in cutting spending, reducing the debt, and balancing the budget.

* He believes in a strong military and a clearly communicated firm foreign policy. He will NOT apologize for America.

* He believes in securing the border and a legal PROCESS of immigration.

* He is Pro-Life and stated he would de-fund Planned Parenthood.

* He believes in the Constitution and the founding principles of our country.

* He is in favor of marriage being between a man and a woman. He has strong family values and a strong belief in God.

* He would repeal Obamacare.

* In regard to gun control, he has stated: "Let me speak very directly and candidly about where I stand. I support the Second Amendment (the right to bear arms) as one of the most basic and fundamental rights of every American. It's essential to our functioning as a free society, as are all the liberties enumerated in the Bill of Rights..."

The media and many of the "talking heads" on television try to label people in certain ways, but with all of the above, and more, Mitt Romney is a pretty conservative candidate...wouldn't you say?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the most critical Presidential election in the last 100 years, if not ever. So much so that if we do not elect Mitt Romney and rid our country of Barack Obama the United States will be pushed to a point of complete ruin. We all have an obligation and a duty NOT to let that happen.

USA Today, Major Media Creating False Positive Impression of Economy

USA Today should ask the "50 top economists" the following questions about their "optimism' on the economy reported in USA Today ( "Optimism shows in survey on economy" April 23, 2012 front page).

How is it that they see optimism when:

* The national debt is fast approaching $16 trillion soon headed to well over $20 trillion, with $5 trillion in debt the last 3 years alone.

* We have been operating without a federal budget for the last 3 years. The presidential budgets submitted have called for continued massive spending. The American people are being played by the federal budget process since a ridiculous faux budget is put forth; it doesn't get approved; it is pushed to a crisis point; then a "continuing resolution" is passed in order to save the country...and the spending continues as desired.

* Real unemployment, not manipulated or adjusted, is 15% (CBO). If you add in those who have given up looking for work or have accepted part time jobs for survival the unemployment rate is over 20%.

* 53% of college graduates are either unemployed or underemployed.

* Following the same route as the federal government colleges have been engaged in massive spending only to pass on their expenditures to students through higher tuition and fees.

* Student loan debt has now surpassed $1 trillion! This is still another economic bubble crisis ready to burst. * Approximately 50 million people are on food stamps and that number is increasing.

* Gasoline prices have doubled over the last 3 years. Home and business energy costs have increased significantly. Although we have readily available energy sources in our country there is no plan to pursue them, on the contrary all attempts are blocked by the federal government themselves.

* Real inflation defined as what it costs the average person and household to live is running about 15%. This includes gasoline (above), home energy costs, food, tax increases, fees and hidden taxes, clothing, and all other necessities to live.

* Claims of a healthy stock market are from false signals. The underpinnings of both the economy and business are weak. The trading volumes are down significantly, 14% for the New York Stock Exchange, 27.5 % for Standard and Poor 500. Volume is a clear sign of the health of the stock market. Further, much of the volume is by professional traders who are driving volume, not individual investors. Many high frequency trading firms, some driven by computers seeking advantageous pricing points, are responsible for a significant portion of the volume. Those "economists" who are claiming a healthy market aren't looking at the facts behind the scenes.

* Interest rates are being artificially and significantly depressed creating still another dangerous bubble for the economy. This hurts seniors and others with conservative investments and hurts the economy since they do not spend as much, putting money back into the economy. This also hurts small banks since they are greatly squeezed on profit margins on loans. Suppressing interest rates thinking that this encourages investment and eases debt burden isn't working. Most importantly when you artificially and significantly squeeze an important factor of the economy such as interest rate it will create a bubble that will come up to bite you. Economics 101.

* In a Rasmussen Report issued January 12, 2012 66% of those polled were not confident, or not at all confident, in the U.S. banking industry.

* In 2002 USA Today reported that we have gone from 1 in 3 of employees involved in manufacturing to 1 in 10. ("U.S. manufacturing jobs fading away fast" ,USA Today Dec. 12, 2002). It is even worse today, 10 years later, with the loss of millions more of manufacturing jobs. Yet the great strength of America since the Industrial Revolution has been manufacturing. We have become a dependent nation and in the process are giving up research, technology, process technology, and manufacturing know-how. This greatly weakens America. A nation that makes things is a winner, a nation that only consumes things is a loser. National wealth comes from making things, from manufacturing.

* Reality Trac has reported that 70% of current mortgage defaults were not listed in MLS (Multiple Listing Service), but kept off the books in 2011 because it would have impacted the economy with a major negative impact on the stock market and our dollar. This manipulation means that a lot of the foreclosures that would have happened in 2011 have been pushed to 2012. There are some who are trying to paint the housing market positive, it is not. We did not learn much from the housing crisis since we are doing the same thing all over again. Fannie Mae has asked for another $7.8 billion in bail out for losses in the 3rd quarter of 2011, and Freddie Mac $6 billion.

* Social Security and Medicare are already bankrupt and are being called the twin disasters. The unfunded liability of the two programs is now about $84 trillion. These 2 programs, along with Medicaid, consume about 50 % of the U.S. budget. This has been covered by Professor Kent Smetters at the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, and by a USA Today front page article as far back as November 15, 2005 detailing the crisis. Yet we do nothing.

* The Federal Reserve's answer to this is to print more money, yet today there is no anchor, no gold standard, therefore the dollar increasingly becomes less valuable "paper". We are headed toward a dollar that won't be worth much and it will no longer be considered the international standard for currency. When you do not face reality; when you dramatically suppress or force economic factors artificially, you are inviting disaster. This will become a huge, huge problem for the United States and could in itself destroy our economy.

This issue coupled with all the items listed above confronting us could lead to a situation worse than the Great Depression. We are headed in that direction.

And these are just some of the important indicators of the economy that USA Today is reporting as being "optimistic". It is very evident that USA Today is using its front page to paint a false positive picture of the economy, and is doing this in collusion with other major media sources, in order to prop up Obama for the upcoming election.

False positive reporting is a GREAT disservice to America.

The Push for Reverse Mortgages Suspected..and More

The Push for Reverse Mortgages are Suspect

A few years back you would seldom hear much about reverse mortgages. Now we are bombarded on television and with mailings by ads promoting reverse mortgages. Hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent on ads. Why? A reverse mortgage for a home owner is a personal decision and may be a good thing for them. BUT, let’s step back for a moment and look at the big picture. Why suddenly the big push?

The federal government is incrementally gaining more and more power and control over people’s lives. Legislation, “Executive Orders”, and outright power grabs are occurring that are gaining more government control, and encroaching upon / limiting personal freedoms. Communications are controlled, by the 80 to 85% “mainstream media”. At the same time they continually try to shut down all opposition media opinions and voices. There are ongoing attempts to control the Internet. (It is too open and free.) The federal government controls all money sources through the “fed” and large banks that are repeatedly bailed out using taxpayer money. They have the ability to control and manipulate the economy MUCH more than they admit. The federal government controls food and water supplies.

There has been an extreme, even shocking, push in recent years on the ability of the government to look into and track people’s lives. There are surveillance cameras all over the place. There are devices in automobiles, GPS and other, where without your consent or a reason you can be tracked. The government can look into your computer, E-mails, etc. without your knowledge or consent. They can track your cell phone. More recently they are now using surveillance drones. This is all happening in America! Yet people, like sheep, say nothing.

The government controls all of our energy sources and the direction of what energy sources we use. During recent blackouts in the northeast people had a sample of how helpless that they are when electricity is shut off, totally dependent upon the government. Through the government’s control of the economy, tax burdens, and other money impacting legislation, they have an influence on jobs, unemployment, etc. More and more people are becoming dependent upon government for survival. A “nanny state” is being created. Currently over 50 million people receive food stamps.

Obamacare was a huge step toward government control of the healthcare of all Americans. Healthcare is obviously a vital part of people’s lives, now controlled by the government. There is even more healthcare control by the government through organizations such as the World Health Organization, the Center for Disease Control, etc. Transportation is controlled by the federal government. The federal government attempts to control the environment, not all based upon scientific fact. The EPA, in using the “environment” as a wedge, severely restricts and has a major impact on business, as well as on the lives of every American.

The federal government is using every excuse possible to build propaganda against guns, they are attempting to get them out of the hands of the American people. They want a submissive, defenseless populace. One of the major reasons for the Second Amendment is to protect the people against the tyranny of government.

Federal regulations are everywhere….dictating, controlling, preventing, determining directions, driving costs, influencing the standard of living of every single American.

The federal government has gained immense power and control in recent years. But what is missing? Property represents power, control, wealth, and independence. In order to gain FULL control the federal government needs to have control of private property. There has been a recent move by government to expand the use of eminent domain, where government can seize private property. This is still ongoing but it has been met by many outcries, it is too out in the open to criticism that will alert people. Many Americans do not realize that the federal government already owns an immense amount of private property in America:

* The federal government now owns 650 million acres, or 30% of the total territory in the United States.

* Just a few examples: the federal government owns 84.5% of Nevada; 69.1% of Alaska; 48.1 % of Arizona, and the list goes on. Pretty shocking.

Yet 30% isn’t enough, the federal government wants even more control of private property for obvious reasons…power, control, wealth and dependence on government, NOT independence. How do they accomplish it?

You guessed it…reverse mortgages. This is the apparent plan:

* Conduct a massive ad campaign, money is no object.

* Appeal to the benefit of the homeowner, they actually get a benefit of cash, particularly those in later years.

* It is a hidden power grab, no one will squawk. In the short term people will be actually happy about the additional income.

* Huge amounts of private property will gathered together, accumulated, under the ownership of large banks, conveniently in one place, rather than scattered under individual ownership.

* The next step is an easy one for the federal government. Through the large bank, bail out, Fed connection the government can easily seize control of the private property, now conveniently all in one place…and they can do it with minimum of outcry by the American people.

Think about this, the next time you see an advertisement for a reverse mortgage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also think about the federal governments control over communications; money sources and the economy; food and water supplies; all of our energy sources and energy direction; the environment; healthcare; transportation; guns; the environment; jobs / employment; the conducting of private business; the increasing federal ownership of private property…and more. Also think about the American people placed into a position of great dependency on the federal government for all of our basic needs. Think about the very high level of surveillance being conducted on the American people. Think about the ongoing erosion of our personal freedoms. Can you see where all of this is headed?

Take time to read our foundational documents…The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Amendments. Compare what you see going on in our country today to the principles and founding laws of our country. Compare what the Founders of our country said, gave speeches about, and wrote, concerning our founding as a country.

It should be a wake up call to all of us. It is time to speak up, to act, to use the sacred power of our vote. It is time NOT to allow this to happen to our great country. Do it for your children, your grandchildren, and for future generations. They will look back and thank you for saving our country.

Letter to Supreme Court -Obamacare Violates Age Discrimination Act

March 18, 2012

Honorable Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court
Supreme Court of the United States
1 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20543

Dear Honorable Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court:

In addition to your current review of the constitutionality of “Obamacare” I urge you to consider the fact that it is in direct violation of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 since it is a federally funded legislative program that discriminates against seniors. The following information and argument is given to support this:

Background Intent
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel was a chief advisor to President Obama on healthcare. Both by words and implication Dr. Emanuel indicated that expensive healthcare treatment should be given to those only most productive to society. This, by inference, discriminates against seniors. He had written… “Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years. Treating 65-year-olds differently because of stereotypes or falsehoods would be ageist; treating them differently because they have already had more life-years is not.” (Thus the implication here is that it is OK to treat seniors differently since they have already lived) . He went on further to say “When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance…” (The clear implication here is that seniors are not a priority, thus discriminated against).

This has been followed by President Obama, himself, in answer to questions on ABC, where he said that "maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller." (In reference to the elderly). In another instance he said, "I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance".

The background and intent of Obamacare is clearly set up to allow for discrimination against seniors.

Actual Implementation of Obamacare
The implementation of Obamacare calls for 1/ 2 trillion dollars to be taken out of Medicare. Medicare serves seniors, what could be more plain than this. In order to implement this the doctors reimbursement rate for Medicare / seniors will be lower. Already many physicians are refusing new Medicare patients since it negatively affects their income. This leads to de facto rationing and discrimination against seniors.

David Berwick, President Obama's appointee to head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who will be overseeing implementation of America’s new government-run health care told the Biotechnology Journal in 2009, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care; the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open". He stated costs must be contained, so decisions are made through a "comparative effectiveness" formula, which compares various treatments versus benefits the patient receives. If a treatment costs more than the "quality adjusted life years" merit, treatment is denied. Is there any doubt whatsoever that this will be extremely detrimental to seniors and their healthcare?

Since Obamacare will supposedly take on up to 30 to 50 million more potential patients, with no clear plan to provide for additional physicians, this will lead to necessary rationing and also will amount to de facto discrimination against seniors for all of the reasons given above.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking objectively at the intent and by the actual implementation of Obamacare, it discriminates against seniors and violates the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Massive Impact Upon Seniors
The National Healthcare, H.R.3590 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, “Obamacare” is a clear violation of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. This violation will affect 60 million Americans today, 55 and older, and an expected 107.6 million Americans (31 percent of the population) expected in 2030. This amounts to no less than massive age discrimination.

You are urged to consider this violation in your deliberations on the constitutionality of The National Healthcare, H.R.3590 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Thank you.

Obama Record on Unemployment and Food Stamps

White House Communications Corruption & Collusion

The Obama White House, in collusion with major media outlets, is operating a multi-billion dollar illegal communications and propaganda machine aimed specifically at influencing American public opinion. It is illegal for the following reasons:

* Government personnel, resources and expenditures, all funded by taxpayers, are being used to promote a political and ideological agenda.

* It is the antithesis of the First Amendment; it involves the federal government violating freedom of the press by attempting to bias, influence, and suppress the news.

* Working in collusion with major media sources, with regular periodic behind the scenes planning, there is an attempt to promote news that makes economic and other conditions look better than they are, even to the extent of distorting and falsifying information. At the same time important news that is detrimental to the administration is either suppressed or not reported at all.

* There is an all out attack on any news sources that run contrary to the administrations viewpoint. This attack may be against the organization or individuals who report this contrary opinion and news. This includes looking into the background and personal lives of the individuals using "dirty tricks" approaches toward discrediting them. This violates not only personal rights, but also the First Amendment by disallowing freedom of the press. In addition, certain members of Congress are attempting to push through legislation, cloaked under false premises, that will severely restrict freedom of the press, including radio, television, and the Internet.

*Certain organizations, claiming non - profit status and receiving government (taxpayer) funded money, are clearly being used to promote political and ideological agendas.

* In addition to taxpayers money being used, outside money laundered through various organizations is being used to fund this illegal activity.

Although all this is kept in secret, through behind the scenes collusive communications, this is what is felt to transpire. On at least a weekly basis meetings are held (phone, Internet, in person, etc.) in order to promote a certain communications agenda for that week....specifically what they want the American people to hear and read; AND what news they want suppressed that may be detrimental to the administration. In addition to the short term communications plan, there is an overarching arching agenda that they want communicated.

How do we know this? Anyone who is paying attention can clearly see it. Turn on the Internet and headline articles on line each day have a "news" message they want you to see. Pick up a newspaper, headlines and articles hammer the same message, in many cases not only is the message the same, but the same exact words and phrases are used. Look at television network news the same. This occurs each and every day, each and every week. On some of the general, overarching messages...they appear in magazines, television programs and Hollywood movies. There always seems to be an underlining theme, a message they are trying to convey in order to influence public opinion, get you to believe something.

At the same time news that may be negative to the administration is suppressed. Examples are the REAL state of the U.S. economy, gasoline prices approaching $4.00 a gallon, over twice the amount since the current administration took over. Food and home energy costs have skyrocketed...the fact that what it costs to live, real inflation, is running 10 to 15%. None of this is reported. On the social level 4000,000 people appear in Washington for the annual March for Life, many of them young people, and this barely appears in any major news sources since this isn't the agenda they want you to see...they suppress the news.

The recent exposure of Media Matters for America and how this non profit group is working in collusion with the White House has opened up a whole "can of worms" and has just begun to expose the massive and illegal communications / propaganda network that exists. We cannot allow this to happen in America. Below is the impression of what is now occurring. This needs to be exposed and stopped.

Super Bowl - Annual Season Ticket Holder Screwing

Upon winning the AFC Championship Game, New England Patriot's owner, Bob Kraft, thanked all the fans. Quarterback, Tom Brady, called the fans the "12th man". All great words but the actions of the teams and the NFL are just the opposite. Each and every year the season ticket holders, those who support their teams through thick and thin, through the cold, rain, and snow...end up in getting royally screwed when it comes to Super Bowl tickets. The NFL and the teams attempt to hide it, but it is readily evident. Pat Hanlon, spokesman for the NY Giants said he "didn't know how many are reserved for fans". Cappin Bennett, New England Patriot Gillette Stadium Customer Service in response to any inquiry said, " Unfortunately I do not know the number of tickets provided in the Season Ticket Holder lottery". Do you believe them?

Here are the facts. Lucas Stadium in Indianapolis will hold 68,000 people for the Super Bowl. The NFL issues 17.5% or 11,9000 tickets to each participating team, 23,800 in total out of the 68,000, or only 35%. In other words 44,200 or 65% of the Super Bowl tickets go elsewhere...not to the participating teams, and most important not to the loyal season ticket holders.

It gets even worse. Embarrassed on what they do, knowing that they will get severe criticism, they keep it a secret about how many tickets go into the ticket lottery for loyal fans. Past research, however, has shown that only about 5,000 tickets go into the participating team lottery. What this means that only 14.7% of the total tickets at the Super Bowl are provided the season ticket holders of the participating teams. In other words 85.3% go elsewhere...NOT to season ticket holders. This should be an outrage to all and an NFL disgrace.

These 85.3% of tickets available to the Super Bowl go to NFL coaches, players, host team, to advertisers, big money people, politicians, celebrities, and scalpers. It is interesting to note that scalpers, who have a sure system of acquiring tickets each and every year, are so confident of getting tickets that they not only advertise, but guarantee tickets to the Super Bowl weeks in advance.

If a loyal season ticket holder of a participating team wants to attend the Super Bowl, they will most probably have to pay anywhere from $2,200 to $14,250 for a ticket, or higher.

This is an ongoing NFL disgrace. Most disturbing, they don't care, they do it year after year.
