Senator Nelson,

 

The only solution is to pass Cut, Cap, and Balance.  I don’t understand the fear that was on display last week when your party would not even open up debate on this piece of legislation.  I expect I will get the same old response we always get from your party that this legislation will kill the elderly and poison our children.  This was the only piece of legislation passed in the House of Representatives and the  Senate should have at least debated it.  What is wrong with a Balance Budget Amendment to the Constitution to keep Congress from bankrupting our nation?  Lastly, when is your leadership ever going to present a budget for our great country?  I think I know the answer which is never because that would mean the Democrats wouldn’t be able to grand stand  on all the economic issues facing us today.

This was my leter to POTUS and his minions yesterday;

.

Mr. President,

.

I listened intently to your speech last evening and as you requested, I am herewith contacting my representatives with my views about the current debt ceiling crisis. I am in full support of the Cut, Cap and Balance proposal that is being put forward by the Republican party. I do not support any more of the "smoke and mirrors" spending cuts being brought forth by Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid and the Democrat party.

.

Our spending levels are unsustainable and MUST be curbed. You sir, as a Senator voted against the last requested increase in the debt ceiling and just so you know, I was against that debt ceiling increase as well. I understand that entitlements must be cut as well as the military spending. So be it, we can NOT keep spending at the rate that we are spending and continue borrowing $0.43 of
each dollar spent.

.

And just a personal opinion here Mr. President, it's really time for you sir to step up to the plate and "own" this rotten economy that you and your fellow Democrats have created. To continue to blame former President G. W. Bush really is most unbecoming to a man of your stature and position. After all sir, you have been in office for a little over two and a half years now, and until last November, your party had complete control of the House, the Senate and of course the White House.

.

During this time, there was no budget passed by the House for the first time in our history. In fact sir, as I am sure that you are very well aware, it  has been over 800 days since we had a budget. You had no controls placed on your spending and have spent like the proverbial "drunken sailor" under the guise of "fixing" our economy. Mr. President, it didn't work in the Great Depression, and
it sure ain't working now.
.

You must, in my humble opinion, cut taxes on those that make the jobs in this country, remove the uncertainty in the business environment, remove the burdensome regulations imposed by your EPA that prevent us from going after our own oil and restore us to a sound energy policy.

.

You see sir, I know very well that your policies are not working, as I am one of the long term unemployed in this country and can not find a job. Since I have no other commitments to take up my time sir, I am devoting some sixty plus hours of my time every week to do my best to make sure that you, and your fellow Democrats are not returned to office.

.

It is truly time for Washington, D.C. to "wake up and smell the tea" Mr. President! We are the American people, regardless what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid chooses to believe. For we are no longer the "dumb masses" out here and we are educating others, every minute, of every hour,
of every day.

.

Respectfully submitted,

John Thompson

The following was my response to Senaor Nelson

Dear Senator Nelson,

Your e-letter was shared with me by a friend and I do commend you on asking for the opinion of your constituents on the debt plans now before you and your fellow Senators. However, I really don't think that you will care for my response, as I am not going to tell you what you really want to hear.

If you are still reading this, I have included here a copy of a letter that I sent to President Obama yesterday in response to his address to the nation Monday evening. I also forwarded it to you as well as others yesterday via your web site.

 

I FULLY SUPPORT CUT, CAP AND BALANCE!!!!

Senator Nelson, it is time for Washington DC to go on a fiscal diet! We as a nation CAN NO LONGER continue to borrow and spend at the rate that is currently going on. I understand that in order to do this, it will require cuts in the entitlement programs and defense spending as well. SO BE IT! Vote to cut them Senator. This nation can no longer continue to spend money that we DO NOT HAVE! We as a nation are borrowing some $0.43 of every dollar that Washington spends, that sir is ridiculous. 

I understand also that by not raising the debt ceiling and defaulting on our obligations MIGHT change the lending rates that we pay as a nation. But senator, you know as well as I that we do not have to default. We take in currently, some $200 billion dollars a month. That WILL PAY the interest on our debt, as well as covering the outlay for social security ("sending the checks to granny") AND STILL PAY the military. If lowering our credit rating as a nation forces Washington into cutting spending, then it might not be such a bad thing, after all, it does not appear that you folks up there in DC have the will to do it. 

Facts are truly stubborn little things, aren't they senator?

No longer do the scare tactics work, we understand now that we can't believe what many of you say any more. The obfuscation when you address us MUST END if you wish to remain in office! The commercials and the condescending remarks like the ones recently from Majority Leader Reid MUST END. If Republicans are pushing granny off the cliff senator, it was you democrats who built the cliff, put granny in the wheelchair and set her on the incline!

Facts are truly stubborn little things, aren't they senator?

Senator, we can no longer tax the rich to support the Democrat spending policies. By the way sir, I USED TO BE A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT!! Then I started studying and learned a few facts. Jobs are going overseas not because of corporate greed, but because of GOVERNMENT GREED!! America currently has the highest corporate tax rate of any nation in the world! Has the thought ever occurred to you folks that every dollar that you take from a company is a dollar that they do not have to spend on an employee?

Facts are truly stubborn little things, aren't they senator?

You see senator, "We the People" are fed up! We have been educating ourselves out here in the land of the great unwashed! Not only are we educating ourselves, we are educating others as well! It's time for Washington to stop listening to your party, lobbyists and all of those special interest groups. It is time for Washington to "wake up and smell the TEA" It's really "We the People" that you should listen to!

As a parting thought senator; Facts are truly stubborn little things, aren't they?

Respectfully submitted,

John Thompson

Here is my letter to Senator Nelson.

 

Senator Nelson,
716 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington DC 20510


Honorable Senator Nelson,


    The current debate on what is the best approach to settling the U.S. National debt has brought to light the out of control spending that is ubiquitous across this nation.  Billions of taxpayer dollars being used to fund such endeavors as the National Endowment of the Arts, Public Broadcasting, various Department of Housing and Urban Development projects in the form of subsidies, and a myriad of federal study programs is demonstrative of waste.  
    There is political posturing within both parties; however, the fact remains that the difficult choices have been kicked down the road each time the debt limit has been raised.  Senator, we are at the end of the road and it is time to address the problem in a pragmatic manner.  As one of your constituents, I implore you to eliminate federal spending in areas that are not directly related to support and defense of this nation.  In other words, the afore mentioned recipients of our tax dollars are not related to the support and defense of this nation, but rather to buying votes through emotional/political posturing.  
    The electorate is cognizant, now more than any time in the history of this nation, of the facts.  Congressional records and investigations dating back to the 1860’s have detailed the birth and expansion of the socialist ideology from within the democrat party.  Furthermore, the 1910 meeting minutes of the Carnegie Foundation outline the intentional destruction of the principles of this nation through the education system.  Marc Tucker, on the board of the National Center on Education and the Economy formerly known as the Carnegie Foundation, wrote to Hillary Clinton on November 11, 1992 in a detailed letter on how they could finally change the education system to be a “workforce” training endeavor rather than creating educated citizens in such a fashion that no future administrations would be able to wipe it away.
    Senator, this is but a grain of sand of what we have learned and quite frankly, I am ashamed that so many in political office have either turned a blind eye or just don’t know.  When the country is transformed into the vision of what the International Collegiate Socialist Society, Industrial Workers of the World, National Civil Liberties Bureau, Industrial Workers of the World, and Carnegie Foundation wanted, to name a few; how will your descendents view your participation in its demise?


Respectfully,

Deborah Gonzalez

I got his email this morning and i did respond with the comment....cut, cut and more cuts!  I suggested that they allow some business people to help out and keep the politician and lobbyist out of the way and the problem would get solved.

 

This is a perfect example that the federal government is just too big!

Ander Crenshaw ignores retired veteran's constitutional rights to their earned entitlement of Military Retired/Retainer PAY, not a pension but a continued reduced wage for continued reduced military service on the permanent reserve list. He supports the redistribution of MRP as community property in violation of the 10th amendment and the USSC. A law that was back-dated to circumvent the USSC decision of McCarty v. McCarty rules states could NOT treat MRP as community property as retired/retained service members continue to be accountable, recallable and prosecutable under the UCMJ for life. Introduced by Pat Scroeder, Democrat in an election year by a liberal congress, she was also running for VP. Attached secretly as a rider to the DAB in 1982 was back-dated to June 25, 1981 to prevent 10s of thousands of "wrongful taken" lawsuits in Cal. Ander Crenshaw states MRP is no different than his legislative pension. Oh yea? Ander, "Do divorced Florida legislative members continue to pay a remarried former spouse for life? Are Florida legislative members recallable? Get out from behind your femi-scared desk and start supporting the 10s of thousands of service members at Mayport NAS. Grow a pair and start living up to your oath of office of defending the constitution. Ander Crenshaw betrays all military members.

@Peggy Hall - You go girl!

Comment by Kurt D Wullenweber on July 27, 2011 at 12:11pm

Everyone also needs to contact Crenshaw to make sure he supports HR2587 - the act to make it illegal for the governmnet to sue businesses over which Americans they decide to employ. It is in retaliation to O-hitler's admin attacking Boeing over going to right to work state South Carolina.

Comment by Peggy Hall on July 27, 2011 at 12:06pm

oh boy did he hear from me.  I very politely asked him to vote for and pass cap cut and balance so we can find out what is in it.  Then I also added a request that he resign.   I just had to do it.

Kitty I still send emails and call his office, don't give up I think that is what he wants.
