ASK A HORSE
Bad politicians are sent to Washington by people who don’t vote.” ~ William E. Simon

Liberty Lovers,
http://www.usdebtclock.org: Every American Taxpayer Now “Owes” “The (federal) State” $148,318, every citizen $53,323.
“If voting changed anything, they’d abolish it.” ~ Ken Livingstone
Election 2014 Will Be Here before we know it. Campaigning already abounds. “We, the American People” can’t possibly know how Election 2014 winners will set their sights on bettering America. We can’t unless we stophoping election winners will stand by their promises and, instead, force them to live by their word.
“Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and in the voting booth their vote has as much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President.” ~ Barbara Boxer
‘Representative’ Government Means Nothing when elected ‘representatives’ ignore their constituents’ will and do (vote) as they please. Elected ‘representatives’ work for voters, not vice versa.
“It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.’ ~ Virgil Goode
Americans Can Stop Deceptive Candidates from voting against constituent will. See www.GOOOH.com methodology. Make elected ‘representatives’ live by their word.
“Voters quickly forget what a man says.” ~ Richard M. Nixon
“If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else’s expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves.” ~ Thomas Sole
People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to remain in office if they break their word to their constituents. They remove violators from office summarily.

Quote of the day . . . regarding common core
Twenty-five years ago, President Reagan, paraphrasing Education Secretary William Bennett, said: “If you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever. But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you’re liable to be given more money to do it with.”

Just had to share this email we received . . .
Today I opened my front door wide open and set my Winchester Model 94 right in the doorway. I placed 6 cartridges beside it, and noticing that it had no legs, set it on my mom’s old wheelchair to help it get around. I then left it alone and went about my business. While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign right in front of our house.
After a couple of hours, I checked on the gun. It was still setting there in the wheelchair, right where I had left it. It hadn’t rolled itself outside. It certainly hadn’t killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn’t even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.
Either the media is wrong, and it’s the misuse of guns by PEOPLE that kills people, or I’m in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
Alright, well I’m off to check on my spoons. I hear they’re making people fat.

Hot Air Balloon
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.
She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.
She shouted to him,
Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago,
But I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon,
Approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level.
You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees,
49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.
“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost.
Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”
The man smiled and responded, “You must be an Obama-Democrat.” “I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?” “Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are — or where you are going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it’s my fault”
