"AMERI-CAN-DO"

WE CAN AND WE MUST DO..

Combine a few letters from the words REPUBLICAN DEMOCRAT and they Could Spell..AMERI-CAN-DO & ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY SHOULD..SPELL..AMERI-CAN-DO

NEITHER OF THESE WORDS (REPUBLICAN,DEMOCRAT) SPELLED SEPARATELY CAN SPELL.. "AMERI-CAN-DO" It Takes Both To Spell AMERI-CAN-DO and it will take BOTH PARTIES TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL OF AMERICA'S CHILDREN & THEIR CHILDREN.

"UNITED WE STAND" and "TEAM WORK WORKS"
(these statements aren't just words they are facts)

Mr. Obama Is NOT just the Democrats President he is "THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES" ALL STATES & ALL PARTIES PRESIDENT.. MR. OBAMA.. IS AMERICA'S LEADER YOUR LEADER/OUR LEADER, HE WAS ELECTED BY AMERICA TO LEAD OUR NATION. "SO LET HIM LEAD"

"THIS IS WHY "WE THE PEOPLE PUT HIM IN OFFICE".. WORK WITH HIM "WHATEVER IT TAKES" COMPROMISE WITH THE PRESIDENT & WORK WITH HIM..THIS IS YOUR JOB.

IT CERTAINLY ISN'T PRODUCTIVE FOR ANY PARTY TO HURT AMERICAN'S BY NOT WORKING WITH AMERICA'S LEADER THAT;
"WE THE PEOPLE" ELECTED TO BE OUR PRESIDENT.

"TIME TO TEAM UP FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY"

We are again facing the result of 60 years of irresponsibility from both political parties. Neither party is willing to tell people honestly what things cost. We can not go forward without both raising taxes and cutting spending. BTW ... Cutting spending is not spending less than what you hoped for. It is spending less than you did the year before.


Items that should be done.

1) Simplify our tax code. Our tax system is based more on exceptions than the rule. He who can hire the most accountants wins. Hiring an account should mot be a required part of paying taxes. The personal tax code should fit in a small pamphlet with almost no exceptions to the rule.

2) Streamline the military and force them to make choices. They can not have everything. Tell them how much they get and let them decide how to spend it based on military need rather than building billion dollar systems helps my campaign contributor.

3) Streamline Social Security and Medicare. Where can we add efficacy with computers? What red tape is redundant and unnecessary? Make penalties for fraud large enough to recover all lost funds plus some extra and pay a reward to whistle blowers.

4) savings start at home. Congress needs to reduce it's own expenses. On top of the salaries, health care, and general expenses of congress, each member of the house spends 1 million on personal staff and each senator spends 5 million on personal staff to do the job we hired them to do. The total is over 1 billion a year. They need to reduce personal spending and actually do the job themselves.

The over paid, over benefited and under educated do nothings in congress continue on their course to oblivion. They are caught a trap of their own making and subject to the tyranny of a bunch of zealot driven tea party know nothings. This is a totally idiotic situation. This congress is the worst in our history and seemingly still wants to add to it's record. Make a deal NOW and don't start this nonsense in the next months over the debt ceiling. We, the public are telling you it's time to stop the childlike tantrums and grow up! We are the laughing stock of all the world

Well, despite the fact we may take a hit on our Social Security income, our doctors take a hit on Medicare reimbursement for our needed care, and more rich people stay richer, let's take a vote. No vote is far worse than a failed vote. Is it easier to fall off the cliff and moan we are "victims"? I won't buy that. If those of us making half the poverty threshold are willing to sacrifice, and those making too much for their own good are willing to give up some, why is this a stalemate? The people affected by this are in agreement, so vote. We've already decided. All we need is you to finish the paperwork.

What don't Republicans get out of loosing the 2012 elections? The majority of people have spoken: They want what the Democrats campaigned on: Raise taxes on the rich; cut defense; close all corporate loop holes; end corporate tax subsidies. The fact that they held on to the House has to do with their gerrymandering of the voting districts to favor their Party. Plenty of minorities complained of being stripped of their representation. We saw how they sought and continue to constrict voter access to the ballot. The Republicans have shown themselves to have become a Party of crooks and hostage takers. They have intentionally manufactured massive national crises over the past 12 years to bring our country to it's knees. They almost succeeded.

We the people know that the Republicans will continue to do all in their power to strip the middle class, starve the poor and elderly out of existence and let the commercial oligarchs enrich themselves on the taxes paid by ordinary working people. Destroying the public safety net is their top priority. The entire debt and deficit issue is utilized by them to achieve the destruction of the public safety net and further erode the financial resources of our government so that no corporation will ever have to be concerned with paying taxes and government oversight and regulation. Already we know that the majority of taxes we the consumers pay on our Utilities, phone and cable never leave the corporate coffers. The Republicans have made every effort to bankrupt our country leaving it rife for corporate takeover. The Tea Party agenda, financed by the Koch brothers is to render our government lame and dysfunctional. Looks like they are succeeding. Ugly but true that a small radical minority can bring down our country's economy and render our government impotent.

Nope. Americans still voted Republicans enough power to stop anything they want. Americans have reached the pinnacle of indecisiveness. The two party system fails again.

From the last election it is clear that the Republicons are a crooked set of people willing to do anything underhanded to get it there way. The people who really abuse the USA are the rich by not paying their fair share. I would like to see the rich pay in percentage what I have to pay. Most of the rich pay less than their secretaries and want more. They are the real drag on the economy. I hope in the years to come that the Democrats will push out all of the crooked republicons.

What do you mean? From the last election it appears what the Americans want is for the Republicans to be there to thwart President Obama, and for President Obama to be there to thwart the Republicans, in other words, more of the awful same.
