It is obvious to me that the politicians in Washington D.C. are only interested in themselves. I believe if you told them that if they voted for BILL X and they would get re-elected, the vote would be 435 to 0. When a congressperson is elected with 51% of the vote, why do they vote for their party 100% of the time. All they care about is getting reelected.

I cannot believe that the Pelosi's, Reid's Shumer's, Frank's, Dodd's and the rest of that ilk will be voted back into office when their terms are up. I hope that in the future your family suffers the back of the bus syndrome because some illegal got to the head of the line before they did. You folks are worse then the despots around the world and I'm sure when it is all over neither Chavez not Castro would want you on their cabinets, or for that matter in their countries.

Good insights, not new to us

Have you noticed open border anarchist organizations like the commerce department like to paint an overly optimistic economic forecast to justify more American overpopulation?

Manufacturing Not Contracting as Fast? Stocks Shoot Up.

When did optimism get rated on the rate of degradation? MSM is generally wrong on their predictions the last few decades, so if they say go north, south is the best way.

If they said manufacturing is still contracting, IMO its like a hopeless patient in ICU getting worse, but at a slower pace.

Then they said residential building was supposed to contract 0.5% for June [is this an after-the-fact allegation and if it was an official estimate for June 2009, where's the written analyst proof/study referenced in the MSM story?] but it went up an unknown amount. [0.000001% LOL]….or more likely it actually contracted -1%, but the historical unreliable statistics in MSM on the economic forcasts are so COMPLETELY wrong the last few decades, it was likely tweaked optimistically, for the support of the anomalous news story, driving hungry stock buyers into the market in error today? Why does it take a month to get June data too, they need time to massage the story?

Today’s MSM “ALLEGATIONS” in part:

“…The Institute for Supply Management said that while manufacturing activity slowed during July, it did so at the slowest pace in nearly a year. The private trade group said its manufacturing index rose to a better-than-expected 48.9 from 44.8 in June. A reading above 50 indicates growth.

And the Commerce Department reported a jump in residential building during June that lifted overall construction spending for the second time in three months. Analysts had expected a 0.5 percent drop. The report provided new evidence that the housing sector may be recovering….”

We had 3,500 attend the 4th of July tea party in Ventura California. Nothing comes even close to that size since the Vietnam War. If we join forces with our local tea party members and protest out side our congress and senate Reps. office they will get the message! Tea parties represent Americas. Mostly Moderate and Conservative, but also Liberals that want to keep their individualism! Tea parties are not just about Taxes! It’s about not being heard, it’s about not being listened to, and it’s about the manipulation of the United States Constitution for the last 80 to 100 years. Don't be fooled by the spin that we are all Conservative Republicans! That’s the big lie to stop the building of a massive ground roots organization. I am a moderate Independent and my wife is a moderate Democrat and we are both members. If we work with groups that we may not agree with on other Issues, we can stop this insanity for good!

Roy, great article! Congressmen lie? Our fearless leaders (Dirty Harry & Nasty Nancy) continue to shower illegal aliens with benefits and jobs while continuing to pay for the benefits by taxing working American citizens. However, they claim (lie) that they are helping for the American worker. Were these politicans elected by illegal aliens or American citizens?

The close outcome of the Deal Amendment and the enemy filing the Space Amendment to provide an excuse shows that we are having an effect and we can win this. Do not give up now.

The more aliens we let in, the more they bring in when they can. Alien growth grows exponentially. We are already way overpopulated making crime and welfare costs grow exponentially also. Tell your congressmen frequently what to do or you will not vote for them and will urge your friends to do likewise.

The July 27 New Yorker contains a fascinating article by Malcolm Gladwell entitled "Cocksure: Did overconfidence cause the crash?" It uses as an example the Battle of Gallipoli, which the British lost because their overconfidence in military theory led them to overlook reality, the mass of small but important details of the situation. Congressmen, who spend their lives in Washington, look upon illegal immigration as a detail of national politics. It does not figure in the political models, like the legal doctrine and the political science they learned in college, expressed in a neat system of abstractions. Overconfidence is a concomitant of pride, and it is the pride of these leaders that will destroy this country.

I have started e-mailing Congressmen who are NOT my representatives. Even if the "contact form" requires you to choose "their" state, I select it anyway, then explain in the e-mail that I am not a constituent, but a citizen who is affected by their actions.
I have written numerous e-mails on the White House contact web page as well.
I think folks should trouble themselves to actually go to town meetings too. I, for one, will see when Jan Schakowsky is holding one, and even if I'm not in her district, as a citizen, I have the right to attend.

How many letters can you write? How many faxes? And yet they vote and do as they please not what the people want but just what they want. They don't seem to feel the pulse of the American people, concerning illegal immigration and all their free benefits, that our own citizens don't get, like all the free medical.
If they read the LA Times artical on how much it costs California for all their benefits you'd know why they are having trouble balancing their budget and guess who's benefits are being cut?
The lost of jobs, especially in the construction area, to illegal immigrants is enough to make us rise up. I do believe we are headed to a uprising in this country the likes that hasn't been seen in years. Listen to others talk, even about health care and you can feel the energy. I think that will be the only way they listen to us. And we'd better do it before they break this country.

It is time for the true americans to revolt against this communist brigade taking over america.Storm your town hall meetings in protest over this out of contol spending these basterds are doing. No healthcare for illegal aliens, no paid for abortions in healthcare bill.Obama and his leftist commies need to go.Remember who these idiots are and vote them out of office now for treason against the united states of america. or shoul i say the socialist state of obama.

We are accomplishing nothing just by complaining. We must contact our senators and representatives and the president's office and let them know just exactly what we think and keep doing it over and over and let them know 2010 is just around the corner and we will remember how they voted on these issues. You can find your senator and representative's contact information by googleing their names. Let's do it and email all friends and family to do the same. We can't give up.

Actually, you can get all the phone numbers and addresses on our website at:

These Senators and Congressmen praise themselves and pat their own backs on what a great job there doing for their constituents like bringing new jobs to their districts, health care and helping seniors. Then they go ahead and prove their actions by voting to reward illegal aliens with health care that we have to pay for with taxes.

It really sickens me! This country is in big trouble when Congressmen start to defend and reward illegal immigration. I'm really starting to believe the old paraphrase, "Do you know how to tell when a politician is lying? When thier lips are moving!" I also believe that Speaker Pelosi and the other band of liars who voted for the health care for illegal aliens be forced to pay for it out of their salaries, which we also have to pay for!

Lets see what else they can give these illegal aliens? Oh wait, that's right! They're already taking US citizen's jobs away and now their hard earned tax dollars to pay for their health care. I got it! Now they can comfortably move right into our homes when they get foreclosed on because we have no jobs! Wake Up Congressmen! If you think the voters in your district are either idiots or too apathetic to notice like Roy pointed out your in for a big surprise when election time rolls around!

Keep up the great work Roy!

I am originally from Mich., sorry to say now, and I clicked on Mich on the map. That is terrible. It is no wonder Mich. is going under.Those Senators and Congressmen sit there and collect their pay and don't give a rip what happens to there state. As long as they get their money, which they will do as long as they stay where they are. And any which way the wind blows. While my son hasn't been able to find a job for three yrs. His wife either. There is no work there.
Those Senators and Congressmen, that vote for Illegal Aliens should be made to pay them out of their own pockets.
That just GALLS me, The Senators and Congressmen have put us in this position, This Recession, and they don't lose a thing. They just go on collecting their checks and spending their money and the rest us, be damned.
I say stop sending any taxes. Just stop paying them. Let them feel the hurt.
