New Zeal: "We Ain't Going Away"





New Zeal: "We Ain't Going Away"

Beginning my Journey through citizen control by way of LIVABLE COMMUNITIES

Week after week we hear the screeching from the Left about the so called separation of Church & State. The reason for that is simply that it is a form of control over the "little" people. Remember Michelle Obama saying "Barack will make you come out of your comfort zones", Barack proclaiming we were 5 days away from "Fundamentally Transforming America"? They were telling you exactly what they planned to do but too few listened or even bothered to wonder what that might mean.

Now 20 months later as we look around we see a different country, one that is not just slipping away - IT is racing hell bent for leather over a cliff that may not be survivable.

So much has been happening for many many years, much more has been happening in the last 10-15 right in front of our noses but many are too shallow caught up in a "busy" life with no time or inclination to even really live or to understand that things are changing.

The seemingly random challenges to prayer in school, Bible verses in public buildings, the attack on Christmas and all things Christian the insanity of banning traditions that bind families together.

The constant chatter from the left and many on the right about Education, we need to start practically at birth, we need more money, we need to feed more kids breakfast and lunch, we need more money, we need after-school programs, we need more money, now we need after-school snacks, we need more money, test scores are low we don't want other countries having smarter kids, WE NEED MORE MONEY & on and on thru college and grad school. ALWAYS THE NEED FOR MORE MONEY. And yet year after year we hear the same pleas and education only gets worse, now teaching 7 & 8 year olds how to use a condom. Helping young girls commit murder on the unborn with no thought of consulting the parents. That is not the job of a school. Where does the money go? Who decided that schools knew more about raising children than parents?

With all that goes on these days many families have decided they had to cut back on God time, don't make it to church--just too busy. How many families have actual home cooked meals together anymore? All of this is part of a long term plan to remake this country in an image ( that we who are aware and care about the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and the Freedoms Guaranteed to us by God & protected in our Constitution, instinctively reject.)

There is so much that is going on both in the background and in our faces that no one person can keep up with it all.

I spend time listening & following tidbits to where they lead. Much of what I learn frightens me but more than that it pisses me off!! I've come into contact with a lot of like minded people mainly @ TeaPary events & on Twitter & I believe we must fight to keep this avenue of sharing information open and free. We need each other to fight for the country we love and the freedoms we cherish.

I come across info and want to share it - so others can ignore it or share it so more people learn what goes on and what it means. We may get it wrong but mostly I believe we will get it right.

Look how far we have come from not really having much of a clue but knowing things were not right to suddenly working to defeat a presidential candidate we knew in our guts was going to change our lives in a way we did not agree with. We didn’t defeat him in Nov of 2008 but we are going to continue our growing effort to defeat him in Nov of 2010 and beyond. Not just him but all those involved. Look how far we have come from that first Tea Party many of us attended in April of 2008 where there were a couple hundred people at best to Tea Parties against health care where several thousand people showed up to send a message. And for many of us to over ½ a million people who gathered on the Mall in Washington DC on 8/28. That was not political in nature but it sure did send a message. “They” got the message Loud & Clear, we have gone from ignored, to ridiculed, to reviled and yes FEARED. We have a lot of work to do and I pray each day we grow in numbers and do not stop, do not get tired of the fight, do not give up & go back to just being. Believing we have to give up freedom for security, we can’t forget we are not safer we are just less free. To continue to tell our elected EMPLOYEES what we expect of them & work to FIRE them if they work against our wishes.

The following is the beginning of an idea I had when I started learning about Dodds Livable Communities Act. Communities is a word popping up more & more just look.

You will start to see a PATTERN of CONTROL of your every waking hour ( in some cases even your sleeping ones!)

I’m sure the idea was underway long before George W Bush but his administration started a dialogue with the Churches that continues to this day.

This is the first in a series of samples that should concern us all.

"Pledge to America" Unveiled by Republicans (Full Text) - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
I have lots of comments but right now the biggest thing that jumps out at me is on page 15 where it says;
"We will make it illegal for an insurance company to deny coverage to someone with PRIOR COVERAGE on the basis of a pre-existing condition."

So if you never had insurance & have suffered a condition you cannot under their plan get coverage? Does it mean if you had insurance with SSS Co & got treatment in the past but let coverage lapse they would now have to cover you?
This is the kind of little detail we must hold feet to fire to get clarified when it comes around.

Patty Murray is Schizophrenic on Illegals on other things

Patty Murray Vote History on ILLEGAL immigration legislation:


1996: Voted against the Simpson Amendment to S.1664 to end chain migration. The Simpson Amendment to S.1664 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Orrin Hatch) would have ended chain migration which the Census Bureau projects will double the U.S. population again in the next century. The Senate voted 80-20 to kill the reform.

1996: Voted in favor of chain migration Sen. Murray voted against the Feinstein Amendment to S 1664 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Orrin Hatch) that would have significantly reduced chain migration by lowering annual admissions of spouses and minor children of citizens to 480,000 a year. The Feinstein Amendment was defeated by a vote of 74 to 26

2006: Voted in favor of procedural move to increase chain migration Sen. Murray voted for cloture on SA 3424, a "compromise amnesty" proposal by Sens. Hagel (R-NE) and Martinez (R-FL). This was a procedural vote that was highly tied up in partisan politics. Although it is impossible to know just why one voted against cloture, most of those voting for cloture did so because they wanted the bill to be passed in a succeeding vote. Therefore, most of the votes against cloture were votes against the amnesty. The Hagel-Martinez proposal would increase chain migration through an annual increase in the family-preference visa cap of 254,000. In addition, the proposal includes a one-time-only permanent increase of 105,660 visas for exempt family of "unused" employment-based visa holders between 2001-2005. The cloture motion failed by a vote of 38 to 60 on April 7, 2006

2006: Voted on Senate floor in favor of S. 2611 to increase chain migration Sen. Murray voted in favor of final passage of S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter), a bill to increase chain migration through an annual increase in the family-preference visa cap of 254,000. In addition, S. 2611 includes a one-time-only permanent increase of 105,660 visas for exempt family of "unused" employment-based visa holders between 2001-2005. S. 2611 passed by a vote of 62 to 36 on May 25, 2006

2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of increasing chain migration Sen. Murray voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on the substitute amendment (SA 1150) to S. 1348, a bill to increase chain migration by approximately 251,000 per year. The motion to invoke cloture would have ended debate on the proposal and limited further discussion of amendments to a previously-agreed upon set of proposals -- thus a vote in favor of cloture was effectively a vote in support of the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 45 to 50 on June 7, 2007

2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of amendment to increase chain migration Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Menendez Amendment (SA 1194) to S. 1348 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid) to increase near-term legal immigration by more than 100,000 each year by changing the cut-off date for reducing the “backlog” of family-sponsored immigration applicants from May 1, 2005, to January 1, 2007. The Menendez Amendment failed by a vote of 53 to 44 (6 June 2007

2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of amendment to increase chain migration Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Menendez Amendment (SA 1194) to S. 1348 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid) to increase near-term legal immigration by more than 100,000 each year by changing the cut-off date for reducing the “backlog” of family-sponsored immigration applicants from May 1, 2005, to January 1, 2007. The Menendez Amendment failed by a vote of 53 to 44 (6 June 2007; 7:54 pm).

2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of amendment to expand chain migration Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Clinton Amendment (SA 1183) to S. 1348 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid) to significantly increase legal immigration by adding an unlimited number of spouses and minor children of lawful permanent residents to the uncapped immediate relative category that currently is for the spouses, minor children and parents of U.S. citizens only. The spouses and minor children of lawful permanent residents currently are allocated some 87,000 visas each year. The Clinton Amendment failed by a vote of 44 to 53 (6 June 2007

2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of increasing chain migration Sen. Murray voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy), a bill to increase chain migration by approximately 251,000 per year. The motion to invoke cloture was a move to initiate debate on the proposal and limit further discussion of amendments to a previously-agreed upon set of proposals -- thus a vote against cloture was effectively a vote in favor of killing the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture passed by a vote of 64 to 35 (26 June 2007

2007: Voted on Senate floor in favor of motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639, a bill to increase chain migration Sen. Murray voted in favor of a second motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy), a bill to increase chain migration by approximately 251,000 per year. The motion to invoke cloture would have limited further debate on the bill and moved it to a final vote. A vote in favor of cloture was effectively a vote in favor the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 46 to 53 (28 June 2007

1996: Voted against the Simpson Amendment to S.1664 to reduce the immigration lottery. The Simpson amendment to S.1664 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Orrin Hatch) would have reduced the annual number of visas allocated to the lottery category from 55,000 to 27,000. The amendment

1996: Voted in favor of the immigration lottery Sen. Murray voted against the Feinstein Amendment to S 1664 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Orrin Hatch) that would have eliminated the immigration lottery and significantly reduced chain migration. The Feinstein Amendment was defeated by a vote of 74 to 26

2004: Cosponsored S. 2252 to increase low-skill worker importation Sen. Murray cosponsored S. 2252 (the main sponsor was Sen. Edward Kennedy) to increase by 40,000 the annual cap for 2004 on H-2B visas for low-kill, temporary foreign workers. The bill dies in the Judiciary Committee.

1998: Voted for S.1723, nearly doubling hi-tech visas. Senator Murray helped the Senate pass S.1723 in a 78-20 vote. Enacted into law, it increased by nearly 150,000 the number of foreign workers high-tech American companies could hire over the next three years even though U.S. firms were laying off thousands of workers at the time.

1998: S.1723, Voted to allow American workers to be fired and repalced with a foreign worker. Senator Murray voted against the Kennedy Amendment (A-2418) to S.1723 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) that would have protected American workers from being fired and replaced by a foreign worker (H-1B visa holder). The amendment was defeated 38-60.

1998: Voted against offering jobs to Americans first. Senator Murray voted against the Kennedy amendment(A-2417) to S.1723 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) that would have required U.S. firms applying for H-1B visas to check a box on a form attesting that they had first sought an American worker for the job. The amendment failed 39-59.

2000: Voted for S.2045, a foreign worker bill with no worker protections. Sen. Murray voted for the Abraham foreign worker bill to nearly triple the number of foreign high-tech workers. Despite a GAO report finding no evidence of a worker shortage and suggesting fraud in the H-1B program, Senator Murray voted for this bill that included no worker protections or anti-fraud measures. The bill passed 96-1.

2003: Voted in favor of worker importation program in Singapore free trade agreement Sen. Murray voted in favor of H.R. 2739, the Singapore free trade agreement, that permits an unlimited number of workers from Singapore to enter the U.S. each year as "treaty traders or investors" who are coming to the U.S. to carry on trade between the U.S. and Singapore or to "establish, develop, administer or provide advice or key technical services" to the operations of a business in which they have invested capital. The Singapore Free Trade Agreement passed the Senate by a vote of 66-32.

2003: Voted in favor of foreign-worker importation program, H.R. 2738

Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Chile Free Trade Agreement, H.R. 2738 that permits an unlimited number of workers in Chile to enter the U.S. on L-1 visas. H.R. 2738 passed the Senate by a vote of 66-31.

2005: Voted against Byrd Amendment to prevent additional foreign-worker importation Sen. Murray voted against the Byrd Amendment to the Budget Reconciliation bill. The Byrd Amendment would have stripped a provision to increase permanent, employement-based immigration by as many as 366,000 annually. The Byrd Amendment failed by a vote of 14 to 85 on November 3, 2005

2006: Voted against amendment to postpone guestworker program Sen. Murray voted against the Cornyn amendment to S. 2611 to prohibit DHS from implementing the guestworker provisions of S. 2611 unless the agency has certified that this bill’s border security measures are fully operational. The Cornyn Amendment failed by a vote of 40-55

2006: Voted to kill amendment to strike guestworker provisions Sen. Murray voted in favor of a motion to table the Dorgan Amendment (SA 4017) to S. 2611. The Dorgan amendment would have stricken the guestworker provisions of the bill that would add an estimated 8.4 million foreign workers and their dependents over the next ten years (according to a May, 2006 study by the Heritage Foundation’s Robert Rector). The motion to table passed by a voted of 68 to 29, effectively killing the Dorgan amendment on May 16, 2006

2006: Voted against killing amendment to cap guestworker visas Sen. Murray voted against a motion to table the Bingaman Amendment (SA 3981) to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid). The Bingaman would cap the number of H-2C visas available annually for issuance at 200,000 and remove the 20% a year increase in annual guestworker visas. This would reduce the 10-year increase in foreign workers and their dependents from 8.4 million, as provided in the original bill, to two million. The motion to table the Bingaman amendment failed by a vote of 18 to 79 and the Bingaman amendment ultimately passed by voice vote on May 16, 2006

2006: Voted against amendment to increase worker protections Sen. Murray voted against the Cornyn amendment (SA 3965) to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid) provide modest protections to American workers by requiring employers to employ aliens in the position they were hired for and requiring DHS to certify that there is, in fact, a labor shortage in that particular field before visas are made available. The Cornyn amendment passed by a vote of 50 to 48 on May 17, 2006

2006: Voted in favor of amendment to weaken worker protections Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Kennedy amendment (SA 4066) to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid). The Kennedy amendment weakens Sen. Cornyn's amendment (SA 3965) by not requiring Federal certification of the employer's need to import foreign workers. The Kennedy amendment passed by a vote of 56 to 43 on May 18, 2006

2006: Voted to increase greencards for foreign workers Sen. Murray voted in favor of a motion to table the Kyl amdendment (SA 3969) to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid). The Kyl amendment would have prevented 200,000 guestworkers a year from adjusting to lawful permanent resident status on the basis of their status as a guestworker. This would have resulted in 2 million less greencards over a decade. The motion to table the Kyl amendment passed by a vote of 58 to 35, effectively killing the amendment on May 18, 2006

2006: Voted in favor of increasing foreign worker visas Sen. Murray voted in favor of a motion to invoke cloture on S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) which would have limited debate on the bill to increase foreign worker importation by approximately 600,000 visas per year. The motion to invoke cloture passed by a vote of 73 to 25 on May 24, 2006

2006: Voted against amendment to limit proposed guestworker program Sen. Murray voted against the Dorgan Amendment to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid) to limit the proposed H-2C guestworker program to five years instead of 10 years. This would have reduced the number of new guestworkers under S. 2611 from two million to one million (200,000 per year for five years instead of 10 years). The Dorgan Amendment failed by a vote of 48 to 49 on May 24, 2006

2006: Voted on Senate floor in favor of S. 2611 to increase foreign worker importation Sen. Murray voted in favor final passage of of S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) which would increase foreign worker importation by approximately 495,000 visas per year. S. 2611 passed by a vote of 62 to 36 on May 25, 2006

2007: Voted in favor of amendment to kill proposed guestworker program Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Dorgan Amendment to S. 1348 to delete the provisions of S. 1348 that would create a new guestworker program for up to 600,000 foreign workers annually. The Dorgan Amendment failed by a vote of 31 to 64 (22 May 2007

2007: Voted in favor of reducing proposed guestworker program in S. 1348 Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Bingaman Amendment (SA 1169) to S. 1348. The Bingaman Amendment would reduce the annual importation of workers under the new guestworker programs proposed by S. 1348 from 400,000 to 200,000 workers per year. The Bingaman Amendment passed by a vote 74 of 24 (23 May 2007

2007: Voted in favor of amendment to sunset guestworker provisions of S. 1348 Sen. Murray voted in favor of the Dorgan Amendment to S. 1348 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Harry Reid) to sunset the guestworker provisions of the bill in five years. The Dorgan Amendment

2009: Voted against employment verification by opposing 5 year extension of E-Verify Sen. Murray voted in favor of tabling Sen. Jeff Sessions' amendment to the 2009 Omnibus Spending Bill (H.R. 1105). Sen. Sessions' amendment would have reauthorized the E-Verify electronic employment eligibility verification program for a period of five years. E-Verify, with a 99.4% accuracy rate, is perhaps the single, most effective tool in keeping illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs. The Omnibus Spending bill did include a six-month extension of E-Verify to keep it from dying, but that this was the second straight short extension (H.R. 1105 contained a short-term extension) rather than providing the long-range stability the program needed. Thus, the 5-year extension was an effort to stop the program from being used as a trade-off for various amnesty plans. The Senate leadership decided to table Sessions amendment rather than allow a floor vote. By voting against the tabling of Sen. Sessions' amendment, Sen. Murray supported the long-term reauthorization of E-Verify. The final vote was 50-47 (10 March 2009

The Sessions amendment authorizes E-Verify permanently, mandates that any business getting a federal contract must run all new hires through E-Verify, and mandates that every existing employee who works on the government contracts must be run through E-Verify. Thus, for the first time, E-Verify can be used to root out illegal aliens who were previously hired. The existing employee provision only applies to that part of a company actually working on the government contract. The motion to table the Sessions amendment failed 44-53 and the amendment passed via a voice vote. By opposing the Sessions amendment the Senator voted to give American jobs to illegal aliens.

2009: Voted in favor of sanctuary policies for illegal aliens Sen. Murray voted to table an amendment (SA 2630) sponsored by Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) to the Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) spending bill (H.R. 2847). The Vitter Amendment, if adopted, would have prevented federal funds from going to states and municipalities with sanctuary policies in place that protect illegal aliens, criminal aliens, and, potentially, terrorists. The vote to table the Vitter Amendment passed 61 to 38 (7 October 2009, 5:56 PM), effectively killing the amendment

And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account, to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day, because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

Great POST about Patty Murray

Posted by Gross Misdemeanor at 6/7/2010 12:48 p.m.

"We can't allow big oil companies to destroy our fragile coastlines or the economic activity they bring in their pursuit of profits," the senator wrote."

Yeah! Who was in charge when the rig blew in the gulf. Who was in charge when BP was in line for a safety award. Who was dishing out permits to BP like they poker chips? Who was in charge of the porn and meth addicted MMS? And why is BP drilling so far out and a mile deep in the first place?

You sure you want to go there, Patti? We hope you do.

Dem Congressman is such a Swell Guy.......

BO is an embarassment to America

BO is disgusting and Gibbs is right there with him. Watch the tongue it is Gibbs tell when he knows he is a lying sack of crap. Obama went to Cali to raise money for Bitch Boxer he did not go to memorial service for Oil workers killed in explosion & has not met one on one with familes.

BP responsibility

Did BP manufacture the part that failed? Why don't we hear more about Transocean & Haliburton paying for loss of employment etc? Obama made the decision to impose a moratorium on all drilling in the Gulf. Now he wants them to pay for those lost jobs? Oh, I forgot when it comes to the rule of Law Obama is above that. Please call your Reps tell them that is going to far. Use your head not your emotions. BP is NOT responsible for Obama's dumbass decisions. The majority of elected officials in the region do NOT want the moratorium & neither should you.
Also, Please do NOT boycott BP gas stations. That would be foolish you would be punishing fellow Americans who had nothing to do with the tragedy. A boycott to punish BP will ultimately punish all taxpayers. If BP goes out of business they won't be paying these costs, WE WILL yet again.

Comparison: Liberal Reaction Vs. Conservative Reaction To The Israel/Flotilla Story - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)

This is an opinion must read. Israel had every right to react. As Obama shares BBQ with the Nation Of Islams Farrakhan & disrespects America & our fallen military members. Wake up, Obama wants Israel crushed.

You have to keep engaged to win in Nov

You might want to print this, cut it out and put it on your fridge so you
won't forget! Retribution is less than 1 year away!

Take a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.

1. U..S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
2. They voted to NOT give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and
2011.
3. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years
4. You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
5. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and
wife.
6. Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000
7. Do you feel SCREWED?
8. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food,
etc., decrease?
9. NO WAY .
Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits
than you or I.
* Why should they care about you?
* You never did anything about it in the past.
* You obviously are too stupid or don't care.
* Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al,
care about you?

Send the message to these individuals --- YOU'RE FIRED!

In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to
1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!
Make sure you're still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements
not to screw-up.

It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally
tired of the abuse. Maybe it's time for Amendment 28 to the
Constitution..

28th Amendment will be as follows:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United
States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives,
and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or
Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United
States ."
It's time for retribution. Let's take back America ..
