Do We Need a National Referendum?

No, this isn’t an article about Health Care. Sorry Arlen! This is about the people’s right to force dishonest elected Federal Representatives out of office before they are allowed to suborn the Constitution.

Currently no State permits recall of Federal Officials. This right was denied voters early in the history of this Republic by Progressives of the late 19th and early 20th Century. (Source: Wikipedia). It is about time the people took back this right. We all know politicians lie. Right now the only option for the voting public is to wait until the next election cycle but by then it becomes a choice of the lesser of two evils. We the people must be able to control our own destiny and recall elections is one tool that has been removed from our arsenal.

Lately we have seen the organized labor unions jump into the fray about health care. I have been a member of unions and I have faced them across bargaining tables as management. I have seen union officials sell their own members down the river. Bargaining contracts and Letters of Agreement are methods by which unions discriminate against the actual workers and support the non-working employees.

I have had union officials tell me that they can lie in NLRB hearings because that is their right. I have heard them brag about making the contracts and the LOAs so complex that there is no way that management can ever do right. Their reason for this ? Free money!

Just like a lying, conniving politician they will say or do anything and we the people have to sit by and watch or impeach them. Actually the impeachment must be done by the Legislative Body of which they are members. The one filled with like minded thieves who are there to fill their pockets rather than represent the electorate.

Like the unions, the Legislature fills page after page with gobble-de-gook   that they don’t understand, that we don’t understand and that judges and lawyers can debate ad infinitum and ad nauseum. They institute procedures in the Legislature that keep themselves in office. They vote themselves more money, less responsibility, more perks, bigger staffs, and all the while expect the voting public to sit idly by waiting on the next election. When they can lie to us again.

Is there anyone out there that wants to chair this project?

The Art of the Deal

No, not the autobiography by Donald Trump. Haggling is an age old art-form. It has been described as polite arguing. The trick in haggling is for the seller to learn just how desperate the buyer is and the trick for the buyer is to determine just how much the seller wants to make money.

A starving man may sell his soul for a crust of bread, but a starving man with a crust of bread might not want to sell it at all. A baker wants to sell his bread when it is fresh so that people will know what kind of artisan he is but if he can’t sell it quickly, he can still sell it the next day at a reduced rate enough to cover his time and expense. But if he can’t sell it the third day, he must toss it out, toast it for croutons, or crumble it for bird feed and lose money.

The Silent Majority Wants Immigration Reform

Immigration is one of the many hot button issues of the ongoing Presidential Campaign. It has been the subject of many polls over the last few years.

What most voters, especially the younger ones don’t realize what the true future impact of immigration is. Today you can’t go into a store without seeing dual language signs because as the Pew Hispanic Center poll in 2006 showed a large percentage of both foreign-born and American-born Latinos do not believe they have to learn English to be a part of American Society. That’s one reason you have to “Press One for English.”

Bleeding heart liberals who think that immigration actually helps other countries should view Roy Beck’s video “Gumball Immigration” explains why this is not just a security problem but it is a serious environmental and economic dilemma. And remember Roy Beck’s numbers deal only with LEGAL immigrants. Read more
