Congratulations America: We’ve almost made it through the first decade of this new 21st century. How impressive we were, United & Counted in an historic 2008 reversal of fortune of eight years of abuse of power. Yes, for one brief shining moment, we were “We the People” again wielding the power to govern our government as originally intended. Yet, just like the Israelites in the desert, here we stand complaining “yeah, but what have you done for us lately,” not realizing our doubts and fears are fueled by those who fuel the economy for their own global satisfaction.
Truly, this has been a painful year for far too many, but the pain we endure must include a realization that there are those both in and seeking public office who simply don’t care about you, your family or your mortgage payments. They are the “money changers” about whom we were warned centuries ago. They are the users up and abusers of the great gifts, of this exceptional work in progress, we call America. They have become convincing imitators of goodness, profaning our faith and feigning patriotism. However they are not the good guys, for good guys do not look down on us from on high, while saying “no” to our Asking, Seeking & Knocking for a more secure footing. They want us focused on personal problems and fearful of what tomorrow may bring, for when they keep us standing still & distracted, we long for what we think has been. And they want back in!
So unless we wish to have our lives, the security of our children’s future and our Nation’s International Dignity ground into the ground again, it’s time to join those, like the passengers and crew on Christmas Day in the skies above Detroit, and stand up for ourselves. Willingly, Happily and Gladly be counted in the Census and counted on in the voting booth, so that “We the People” determine our family’s representation. For if we allow Conservative State Legislations to “run the table” like Tom DeLay playing with the numbers, we will neither be counted, or even count. The Census, like the voting booth, count us in, in “The Land of the Free.” This is our only path to being Nationally seen, heard, respected, preserved, protected, defended and prospered. This is what “United We Stand” needs to mean.
Conservatives protect the status quo, because the status quo protects them. So if you want to progress forward and upward, vote for Progressive thinkers. Naturally, we can count on GOP who got us here, to “take” us again, when we fear. However, to Reinvigorate Job Creation, Improve Education for all our Children, Develop our Communities, Protect our Religious Freedoms without imposing them on others, our new President needs to count on “We the People” to help him resurrect our “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” If we run scared, Conservatives win their PR battle with misinformation, regurgitating talking points and spewing dribble from talking heads.
In 2010, to guarantee our Voting Districts in a way that honestly represents us in The U. S., “We the People” must be counted on to be “The Voice of the People.”

PLEASE HEAR US and LISTEN!
PLOUFFE, GIBBS & AXELROD --
I understand what is, as well as what isn’t in the long awaited Health Care bill voted on in Congress this Christmas Eve, and I support the President completely.
I’m writing for those who aren't as fortunate as we, because what’s left of the President’s desire for Health Care Reform after "the good, bad and ugly" Congress has inflicted upon it, is still a wonderful step forward, at long last, but your one sided communications fall far too short of what the public needs to hear to enthusiastically support it. In short, the Republicans are winning the Info/PR war.
"We the People" need to hear from you that you have heard us. So make your various websites more interactively user friendly. There needs to be back & forth exchange before you can call it a conversation with America or "Change." While Americans are not as dumb as Republicans think, many are not quite as sophisticated as the President, and you guys need some On Camera work at communicating his great ideas, to achieve a greater majority.
As senior White House Staff, you need to understand that although Health Care Reform will favorably impact on our overall National economy eventually, every moment of every day and around most family dinner tables, “We the People” are focused on what is impacting negatively on their daily personal economy – an impact that far too often has resulted, not from anything they have done, but what was done to them by their own Bush League government and Banking institutions. Just one example: loans can only be made to people with jobs and a good credit rating, but after Banks without warning lowered credit lines and raised interest rates on credit cards and other sources of buying power for the general public, “We the People” were left with plummeting credit scores. Thus they can’t get the loans the President is asking Banks to make, especially if they find themselves suddenly unemployed or even under employed.
Now having had one Emperor "W" with a "Bismarck" Dick sidekick, most Americans are not asking the President to be a Dictator, but perhaps a little bit of an FDR wouldn't hurt. While I applaud the President's courageous efforts to reunite our country with Bipartisanship, the reality is, some very greedy Republicans and Bank Board Members got us, the USA and now the President into this financial funk, and they care very little about him or the Hopes & Dreams of Americans.
So please Mr. President, Stop Asking and Start Telling: Real Health Care Reform requires more than 60 votes in Congress. It requires Health Care Reform in our National MIND-SET: YES, both eating habits of a fast food nation and Fast Food Corporations must share in responsibility for our National Obesity; YES, Healthy Reform in Public Education is as necessary to the development of our youth, as are more healthy items on the school lunch menu, for an educated mind is a most valuable asset to any Nation; YES, Healthy Campaign Finance Reform would lead the way to lucrative health in any National Budget for Preventive Care, for bridges, schools, Community Centers and fewer foreclosures. For the best of Health, invest more in Peace and less in war. This is the Truth about America that will set us free from The Takers. Then again we will be “Sweet Land of Liberty.”
This is the America I remember in my dreams and it is “…of thee I sing:” “Let Freedom Ring!”

TIME TO REMEMBER!
After two terms of “dead or alive” Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice/Gonzales/Addington/Yoo misadministration, it is baffling that many Americans remain convinced by the Rovian marketing of their version of reality. How utterly afraid GW and the Big Dick must be that we will someday wake up to the Truth: the Bush League, consistent with Reagan’s castration of Government responsibility to the American people (including Tea Baggers), chose to respond to the murders on 9/11, not by pursuing those in Afghanistan who were responsible, but rather by using young American men and women as pawns in a wholly unjustifiable war for short term oil riches and long term financial draining of a potential middle eastern empire.
The TRUTH: every life sacrificed in and for the IRAQ war is a life used and destroyed by its own government; Our first 21st Century administration lacked any sense of humanity, lost in its own clichés, sound bites, secrets, lies and smirking rhetoric, it redirected “We the People” into We the Duped, as we sat watching the double talk of Corporate owned "talking heads."
Wouldn't this season of snowy Holidays be a good time to take off our “Love It or Leave It” blinders, put on our thinking caps and get actively involved with the only Truth that will set us free from the low road lesser men & women would have us continue to trod, against all that we claim to stand for. If indicting traitors from a former administration is too awkward for National consumption, then can we at least stop listening to and being fooled by those “Left Behind” as proof of a most shameful period in our Nation’s history: The "Dark Ages of Bush & Cheney.
True, we were never as perfect as our movies & history books portrayed, but at least we were honest enough to admit we were a work in progress attempting to live up to the Ideal that was the Idea of America. However, that was before our religious beliefs became a weapon the GOP used to incite our mob mentality. If we continue to follow their fearful lead, we will be forced to profess the belief that in just one single year, one good man elected to the highest office of the Land should have eliminated all the challenges that face us. This is indeed group self-denial. Although, perhaps if we had elected someone like Barrack Obama before, and indeed waged the correct war where Al Qaeda was instead of where the oil is, we just might have found and defeated those who invaded America and murdered us on September 11, 2001 -- eight long years ago.
However, we didn’t do that. No we, in a state of righteous indignation over oral sex denials, elected an unprincipled regime who wiped their oily boots on the Constitution of the United States of America while the blood of our youth dripped from their hands. Wrapped in the American flag, they marketed themselves as standard bearers of family values. We were duped by fairy tales of spin. So will we continue to allow Congressional Republicans to blame and criticize those who are trying to clean up the mess dumped on our Nation by these stampeding elephants in search of shadowy hiding places, OR shall we stand tall, accept, if not admit the unfortunate effect of the Bush League on our personal economy and International reputation, and join our new President in a period of repair and healing: "United We Stand?"
The choice is ours, but I hope the next time you feel yelling “Kill the Bill,” or screaming out impatient talking points over the Health Care Reform compromises of Senator Harry Reid or the length of war or surge of troops, or the loss of jobs, the foreclosures and devalued stocks, might I suggest you insist that the Bush/Cheney Administration be brought to Justice for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, so you can address those truly responsible, as well as their accomplices before & after the fact: The C Street House Family & their “Family Values” friends, including but not limited to: John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Jim DeMint, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, the John Birch Society and the how low can you go Joe Liebermann. The Choice is clear and it's Yours to make.

Mr. PRESIDENT
BANKS Got USA, You and US into This, so Don't Ask, TELL: NO FORECLOSURES for a Year AND accept any monthly mortgage payment over 50% of the home buyer's regular payment. It's only humane that those struggling to pay their mortgages be given this chance to survive financially and keep the greatest investment any family can make: A Home of their own in which to Live!
In the usual “The House Never Loses” mind-set, Bank CEOs and their well placed lobbyists choosing to “cut off their noses to spite their faces,” have decided that Americans will lose their homes (& Credit Rating) before the Banking Institutions will make any adjustment to the new post Bush League economic reality facing our Nation and working families. Time for “We the People” to put Family before CITI and admonish Supreme Court for proclaiming “Corporations are individuals.” They Are NOT, but our children are!
Thanks to Conservatives and the 1886 Supreme Court interpretation of the 14th Amendment, the “Land of the Free” is infected with a lucrative institutionalized corporate structure that is anti-individual. Buyer Beware: Wall Street Conservatives and Banking Institutions who have delivered unto us this second coming of “The Great Depression,” sail on ships kept afloat by Our Money, leaving "We the People" bobbing up and down in a personal sea of RED.
So instead of continuing to bailout out those who monthly gouge our personal family budget, Let's Stop our flow of money from reaching the Board rooms & yachts of Banker’s schemes, by putting it in the vaults of Community CREDIT UNIONS.
"We the People" need to close our accounts with International Banks who have purchased other Banks using Our Money, and invest in our family budgets by opening accounts with Local Community Banks.
Mr. President: Tell the TAKERS that you support that and see how quickly they find some human decency. When millions of Our Money move from the coffers of BofA, CITI & Wells Fargo, “Change we can Believe in” will naturally follow. Then see, How Green the Valley will be for American families from “Sea to Shining Sea!”
