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