Is anybody watching??

GM is asking the government to take 50% of the company and the shareholders will retain only about 1% of the company.



HHHHMMMMMM...


I do not think this is a very good idea - government becoming part owner in a retail business. Directly competing with other business' owned by taxpayers.... I am pretty sure the courts have ruled against this kind of thing...

The great divide is outlined like this: 1% shareholders, 10% bondholders,
39% UAW (the union), 50% Federal Gov't


I am appalled at the proposed plan that Obama is cheering on. We can not sit on the sidelines and let the government take over everything. Are we willing to give up our independence?

NOT ME!!I am waiting to hear from Glenn Beck staff to start a 912 Project here in my neck of the Texas woods. The 912 Project was started by Glenn Beck in response to the lunacy taking over this country.

Here's what you need to know about the 912 Project:
If you agree with these principals and values, join us in this fight for our country!
The 9 Principles
1. America Is Good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

The 12 Values
* Honesty
* Reverence
* Hope

* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work
* Courage
* Personal Responsibility
* Gratitude

Invasion of Privacy??

If you have not heard of the Backscatter X-Rays, you need to hear about them now. I do not know about you, but I am am not really willing to give up a basic Constitutional Right to not submit to unreasonable searches and seizures just to get on an airplane. This is what some people are being asked to do in the year 2009. It is a virtual strip search conducted in the name of airport security.



I am no leftist, but how far are we willing to go in the name of security?? Where is the crazy ACLU when there is a legitiamate threat to our freedom??? I am not sure what criteria determines who is asked to submit to this humilation; if any of you know - please let me know! I am unlikely to fly as long as this is the direction that TSA is allowed to move by Congress!!

I do not think some TSA officer needs to see my boobs or fat rolls to protect an airplane!! They claim that there are privacy measures taken, but since when has government been completly honest or had any clue about security (such as... the Southern US border!!)??

Through the coarse of my employment, I submit to annual background checks, but am still required to go through airport security just like anybody else. After September 11, TSA was strip searching little old women when their knee replacements set off metal detectors. Leaving privacy issues and any type of decision making authority to the grey-matter deficient airport security is like leaving the Three Stooges in charge.



When will Congress actually defend our CONSTITUTION??
