Everytime we turn around something else is becoming illegal or banned from use. Everywhere you look there are security camera's and gaurds, all for our own protection. Why do we need the goverment or state and local angencies telling us how to live and what is good for us. Everyday it feels like we are becoming more and more like the countries we are trying not to be.

Hi, I live in Ewing, NJ. It's probably the biggest Democrat stronghold in America. We have some of the highest taxes anywhere, although they pay the newspapers to print stories that taxes are being lowered. The Dems here have failed to pass a budget the past year, so no one knows where the money's going. They raised sewer taxes, the sewer company told them they are behind on payment. We have a senior citizens center that is half-filled. They decided to buy another one, right next to the airport no less. There are tons of shady land deals going on with a company named American Properties that is getting no-bid cheap land contracts. The mayor bussed people from the local college, that don't live here, to vote for him in the election. The local police have been told to harass Republicans. Is this the kind of America liberals want? I only have 1,000 characters to work with, but I could go on.... does anyone live in a Republican stronghold area that's this bad?

1. Make a law that requires the lowest gas mileage of cars SOLD in the USA have at least 20 MPG
2. Promote an act that would get US companies manufacturing plants into less economically powerful areas than China, or just in the US itself.
3. Promote charitable and/or righteous organizations such as Teach For America and Pump the Pump
4.Take a pay cut of $10,000 a year for each member of it permanently. They get all types of perks and a lot of money
5. Let Iraq form itself. We have no success there.
6. Lower property taxes and raise income taxes, to tax the rich without taxing the middle class farmer.
7. Work to outlaw incandescent light bulbs
8. RESTORE OUR RIGHTS
**I'll take suggestions to add to this list.

To me Homeland Security is a mess because if you read the link:

is the biggest mistake that the US government has did (other than the Invasion of Iraq) because of our tax dollars are wasted for useless items. To me, I hope that the next US president or the Congress either reform or disband Homeland Security. Reform, I mean, that degrees should be full and not from a diploma mill, the government cerdit cards should be within the government not outside of it, and update their technology. Please send your thoughts.

Here is an interesting article from the "Father of Reaganomics" about 9/11. What do you think? Attacking me personally will only give creedence to alterntive theories. So if any of you think I am crazy, I am sure you would be willing to debate. Please read the article before responding.

Even people with high degrees and great family connections can go astray from clear thinking and open-minded discussion to find the best course of action. Why not let a Congressional body discuss and decide together what to do ?

There is no doubt in my mind that it is globalization. I don't intend to leave this world knowing that my children will live in a feudalistic world. If you think I'm being an alarmist consider that 80% of the wealth of this country is controlled by only 130,000 people. The wealth of the world is under the control of a number of people who wouldn't even populate a small city.
People all over the globe are suffering the effects of loans made by the World Bank. Feudalism is the future. And that is something that I will go to war to prevent.

It seems in the world today if you dare go against what America wants then your emasculated from the world with its many Americanised groups as in UN,NATO,WTO etc. Is it time other nations as in Russia,China started forming their own international policies and groups that serve their interests solely as opposed to solely American policy and their foreign interests. Apparently America is now deciding to bomb Iran on April the 6th without asking anybody but themselves if this is legal.

Is it time for Russia to get rid of the yolk of American dominance and world wide empire building for their own agenda and international policy?. The world has been bossed around by the US for far too long its now time for some change and fair play on the world stage, but will the US like sharing their world power status with another cultural and innovative powerhouse Russia?.

They can cry and whine all they like but they will have to except there is a new kid on the block now and its Russia.

anointed by God - as Bush sez to become Policemen for the World?

Isn't it about time that we started looking after our own people and attempt to resolve our own problems?

Isn't it about time that "WE" the people damand that the Bush
government become a government Of the people, By the people and For the People as we were asked by Lincoln over 142 years ago instead of a Government Of the Special Interest Groups, By the Special Interest Groups, and For the Special Interest Groups like the Republicans have done!

And why do we have to go to Foreign lands to kill Terrorists there when we have hundreds of our people killed by Terrorists here in America every day?
