I Love the change in The President Elect Obama, I feel that He willmake a change for the small business, He has such a impack on this Nation and for us as People and not (Black & White), We are People, with the same color on the inside and some o the same feelings on the outside, besides our Eyes on what we can see, but how we think and feel when we are under attact, when we need our people who are hurting be help and not pushed to the side so they can help the people overseas, Why spend there when we are in need here ???

Your are right. The question is not what the president can do, but what we can do. The best thing the government can do is get out of the way and let the people be great. America is great because Americans are good.

"I'm asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington...I'm asking you to believe in yours." - Barack Obama

By getting involved, keeping informed and letting your elected representatives know what you want for the good of the country, we can all become part of the team that will overcome this economic mess.

If you are interested in attending and becoming involved
in a Economic Recovery "local grass roots" House Meeting,
see this net page - just type in your zip code and set the distance
radius of the search at 100 miles to get a better selection - you
will likely find a meeting not so far from you.

Oh, we are all going to get hurt and I pity the poor folks who were duped into voting for Obama. Why? They have some surprises coming if his henchman get their way:

Years ago we told you that man made global warming was a scam. It was a profit
and control motivated scam. Like a lot of our predictions, there were many who
argued with us "big time". That's fine, healthy debate is good. But now, the evidence
is overwhelming that as said it's the sun that causes climate, and our contribution
to climate change is almost unmeasurable. So, why the big push to enact something
that will RUIN whats left of America?? Well for a couple reasons. 1) is that a large
majority of them simply hate America. 2) is that the real power brokers behind our
puppet government want America to be a socialist country. 3) is that they needed
another "bubble" to take our minds off the dot com bubble/crash and the housing
bubble/crash. Green is indeed the "new bubble" they are creating.

The bill passed the House, while our ELECTED reps had to admit they didn't read
the whole thing. Now let me ask you something. Don't these idiots work for us? Aren't
they sent there to do our bidding? How in God's green earth can they vote on something
they haven't read? They should be fired instantly for incompetence and replaced
with real humans. But of course that's not going to happen. Now the bill goes
to the Senate. Once again people who have received hundreds of millions of dollars
from lobby groups and special interest groups and big business are going to vote
on a bill that 1) they didn't read and 2) includes so many thing that will suffocate
you as a "normal" American that you will NOT economically or socially survive this.
GO ahead read it again, you will NOT survive this. Not in any way that you remember
as "normal" anyway.

I've gone through as much of this bill as I can. I'm not a lawyer and there's some
things that desperately need to be double examined so the intent is perfectly clear.
But even al that said, there are so many egregious "articles" in this bill that
you HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT, that you will be completely enraged when it passes and
you're stuck with it.

One of the first that comes to mind is the "national home standards code" that will
superceed all building codes.The bill requires the EPA to establish environmental
standards for residences, meaning a federally dictated one-size-fits-all policy
for greening every home in America. They are going to demand that houses are "energy
up to snuff". Okay how are they going to do that? Just like the Census workers,
they are going to hire an army of people to go door to door and do energy audits.
They have the right to demand you produce your energy bills. They have the right
to demand access to your house and inspect your appliances, number of rooms, carpets,
foundation, etc etc. you have NO right to refuse this. Then they will tell you
what improvements will be made to bring you up to snuff. This is how Obama sees
employment rising. By hiring Gestapo to come to your house and dictate how you use
your energy, and measure your "carbon footprint",then making you conform to the
"national standard". Once again, the poor folks have a rude awakening coming....

Waxman-Markey channels billions of dollars into subsidies for "international clean
technology deployment for emerging markets." David H. McCormick of the Treasury
Department recently gave a speech on the establishment of an $8 billion fund for
that purpose; those who showed up to gets the specs on this new gravy train included
Sequoia Capital, the United Steelworkers Union, the Clinton Climate Initiative,
Ernst & Young, Duke Energy, SunPower, Honeywell, Shell, ConocoPhillips, Credit
Suisse, Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, and Goldman Sachs. If you're wondering
who's going to make real money off of Waxman-Markey, this list would be a pretty
good place to start.

The legislation calls for the establishment of a Carbon Storage Research Corporation
(CSRC) to steer $1 billion annually into the development of carbon-capture technologies.
The CSRC would be funded via assessments on utility companies. Hear that? It's the
sound of another charge being added to your bill. Evidence suggests that subsidizing
research into carbon-capture technology is either futile (in the case of traditional
coal-powered plants) or unnecessary (the technology for sequestering emissions from
gasification plants already exists).

The bill would affect commercial properties, too. In fact, all buildings would be
governed by a "national energy efficiency building code" that would require 50 percent
reductions in energy use in all buildings by 2018, followed by 5 percent reductions
in energy use every three years after that through 2030. Now let me ask you all
a question. Where does the money come from to achieve these 50% energy reductions
in just 8 years?? Oh, unfortunately Obama's henchmen haven't answered that question.
They figure if you're in business you must be rich and should share it with everyone.

The bill instructs the EPA to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from mobile sources
such as cars, trucks, buses, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, boats, planes, lawn equipment,
etc. The secretary of energy is required to establish a large-scale vehicle electrification
program and to provide "such sums as may be necessary" for the manufacture of plug-in
electric-drive vehicles, including another $25 billion for "advanced technology
vehicle" loans. In fact, commercial building will be required to have "an electric
hookup device for the recharging of electric vehicles". So, your pizza shop has to
put in a recharge port? How lovely.

Waxman-Markey will create yet another raft of government dependents, but of a different
sort, bureaucrats. The bill creates: a new United States Global Change Research
Program, a National Climate Change Adaptation Program, a National Climate Service,
Natural Resources Climate Change Adaptation Strategy office at the White House,
and an International Climate Change Adaptation Program at the State Department.
Shall I go on?? I'm thinking not. This bill will hike the price of energy between
1200 and 2000 dollars a year at the meter. The costs for all the rest of this crap
is unimaginable. It's the final blow to anything that resembles business in America.
Yet our treasonous House voted for it. Now it's up to the Senate to "man up" and
shut this down. Is it possible they will? Just 2 weeks ago I'd have said "no way"
and I'm still thinking they will stuff it right down your throat. The only difference
is that Obama's popularity is falling like a rock, and a politicians main job,
the number one supreme grand poohbah job of all, is remain a politician. If these
mutants start to feel that going along with anything Obama wants could cost them
their seats in next year's elections, some of them might want to turn tail and go
the other way. It's interesting to think about.

The bottom line is that this bill is a fraud, designed solely so they can control
what you buy and how you use it. They will know everything about your homes, where
you go, how you get there. It will cost you tens of thousands, which THEY will
gladly use for their pet projects and paying off their buddies through no bid contracts,
and favorable business rulings. If the Senate votes this in, then my "doom and gloom"
isnt' just a theory any longer is it? Oh and by the way for you "eco nuts" out there,
I'm not against clean air/water/land. Just don't create a problem that isn't a problem,
and then force all this Nazi style intrusion and costs on me so that a very select
group can get ridiculously wealthy on it. sorry, I'm not up for that
