TyraNanny and the Assault Weapon Grab

Memo To My Congressman


Dear Congressman:

I am incredulous at the thought of Congress considering GUN LEGISLATION that will make enemies of millions of its citizens, breaching a trust long held. I urge you to stand for individual liberty and trust in the citizenry, as our Constitution affirms and clearly outlines.

I urge you with the greatest commitment to VOTE AGAINST FEINSTEIN AWB and any other legislation that purposes registration and banning of so-called "Assault Weapons." These firearms are in tens of millions of households, held by good citizens, keeping the peace, and preserving their liberty. The percentage of criminal use of these guns is infinitesimal and statistically insignificant, compared even to the number of Lives TAKEN with TAX Dollars in the hands of Planned Parenthood.

More importantly these proposed laws registering and banning this broad category of guns will have no affect on crime. As we saw in the CT massacre at Sandy Hook, criminals will steal their guns, ignore ALL laws, and in the end probably use other destructive devices to kill people (buses, cars, poisons, homemade bombs, etc).

The only effective solution to these killers is an immediate armed response, just like civilian Nick Meli in a mall in Clackamas, OR. With his Glock, he foiled a mass shooting, saved lives. An armed civilian stops these mass killings! ARMED Law Enforcement rotating through schools from RADAR SPEED TRAP DETAIL ARE THE ANSWER, NOT criminalizing millions of good Americans. That will cause much greater problems. But this isn't about guns or greater public safety, or stopping the killings, it's about people control. This feels much more ominous, and based on wait times for CBI at purchase - I am not alone in this feeling.

The fingerprinting, registration, and guaranteed future control of an owner of firearms VIOLATES the Second Amendment. Further I argue that CBI information is NOT PUBLIC, but Privately disclosed by LAW ABIDING CITIZENS and should be held as PRIVATE as HIPPA Medical information. It is a glaring manifestation of an overreaching, out of control government...the very thing which our founders feared and wished to prevent. Assaults on the 2nd Amendment will have a domino effect. Other rights are also being attacked, through bureaucrats that have usurped Congressional Power in an out of control administration. My only fear is persistent tyrannical activity could lead to civic unrest.

Current and future "assault weapons bans" will be unenforceable as well, particularly in a Capital Hill environment that can't afford to pay attention -or the Public Debt. Our Forefathers installed the 2nd Amendment to PREVENT Gun Violence and a country where in the end, only the criminals and the government will be armed. In determining the course of this country this might be your most important vote. Firmly PRESERVE GUN OWNERS RIGHTS and accept no compromise. I thank you for your support in this area; andI will watch your vote will great interest and gratefully support you in future elections for your defense of our Constitution.

Sincerely


Joe Elector

Merry Christmas Troops, A Poem


A Christmas Poem
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. 
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
transforming the yard to a winter delight.

The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve 
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love, I would sleep,
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. 
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.


Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood his face weary and tight. 
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here! 
Put down your pack; brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts,
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light.
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right, 
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before. 
My Gramps died at Pearl on a day in December."
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas Gram always remembers."
"My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures; he's sure got her smile." 
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
"I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. 
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life for my sister or brother,
Who stand at the front against any and all
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."


"So go back inside," he said, "Harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least?
Give you money," I asked, "Or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done, 
for being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust, 
that we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

Mulligan?

The Mailbag remains a constant source of Frustration, Education and even Entertainment, as we move fully into a Critical Election Cycle. 


I hope that my fellow Patriots are inspired by the work in the #War Rooms at Breitbart.com, and that each of you engages in the Local Battle to wrest the control of the incumbent party from the STATISTS. A Mission that is arguably MORE important than deciding on the Robo-Signer in the Whitehouse.

Observe, Orient, Decide & Act! - Here is your Inspiration.

MULLIGAN - Artist Unknown to @JoeElector, if known to you please tweet!
Todays email GEM included a quote we should blast around the internet continuously until November. When the Man performs the Act KNOWING it is wrong, isn't that a Pre-medidated Hate Crime?

 "The fact  that we are here today to debate raising America  's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. 
It  is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its  own bills. 
It is a sign that we now depend on  ongoing financial assistance from foreign  countries to finance our Government's reckless  fiscal policies. 
Increasing America 's debt  weakens us domestically and internationally.  
Leadership means that, the buck stops here.  Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad  choices today onto the backs of our children and  grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a  failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."  
  ~ Senator  Barack H. Obama, March 2006

God Bless and God Speed,

Obama Dividend,Housing 2 for 1 Splits

It is NOT News to declare the jobless recovery a Failure, but in my daily efforts to earn my living some observations give me pause. Watching the Real Estate markets from a 1-4 Family Property Management perspective is providing evidence that Serious Damage to the American Dream has been inflicted by Politician and Social Engineer wonks. I wish for it to be other than Fatal, but I won't make that call here and stick with Serious. I have not performed the research to provide supporting numbers of affected households, this is a bad feeling in my stomach based on recent market observations and client encounters. The 2 for 1 Splits in Family Units ARE  absorbing Real Estate inventory-albeit at enormous costs, emotional and financial.

Economic Marital Strife
The root of all human (relationship) pain is "unrealistic expectations", but that is a writing for another audience. The number one cause of troubled marriages today may be the ability to cope with Financial Stress. The fears of insecurity from job loss and underemployment being compounded by a Loss of Value of the single biggest purchase -owner occupied housing- are a recipe for Irreconcilable Differences in too many families I encounter today.

Can't Afford the 1, Lets Have 2...
So we have a Family Unit, that feels it can not afford the lifestyle (and Pressures) of remaining a SINGLE family unit becoming broken in TWO.

Whether Mom stays, and Dad goes to Rent -or- House is vacated and Mom and Dad go to Rent, You have to be emotionally immersed to deny obvious logic failure in this prescription. The air May Feel different at first, but it will be a very rare case when ANYONE'S Lifestyle is improved by this maneuver. [Disclaimer: I do not condone Marriage as excuse for Abusive relationships, and such are not to be tolerated, on pain of ultimate Marital Exit Clause.]

Renters Tax...
We have Bankruptcy and Under-Employed folks that can not Qualify [with a reasonably steady Job] for a Loan Modification [Rates Only even] that are Splitting households in two PLUS Paying the Renters Tax.

Using local market numbers, I estimate that Renters Tax for a medium sized home to be on the order of 1/3 (33%) more expensive than owning the home. Even if both downsize, with Mom or Dad taking unequal size demotion, the Housing Costs can easily increase 2x for the two home family. Factoring in Utilities increases I calculate housing component can then represent 205% of the NEW household Budget.

Hitting Total...
On this "2 for 1 SPLIT" decision, the Winners are clearly the Investment Property Owners, which are creating Wealth for their family. Note to Suzie spreading the lie on CNBC and hat-tip Robert Kiyosaki, Owner Occupied Real Property is an Expense, NOT an investment!

This investor wealth may help save or create Handy-Man jobs, but does not produce meaningful product with the Depreciating Assets (Rental Housing), and hence yields a Net-Negative Economic Impact.

Unable to Print Dollars like the Federal Reserve does for the U.S. Treasury, the newly minted  two-house Family must re-prioritize expenditures of their available Income, adjusting for the increased Housing Burden component. This is no doubt Job Killing, as discretionary spending is reduced by 25% as percentage of the Original Family Unit income. Look at the Types of Business failures in your neighborhood.

My Sincere Condolences
To all of the Family's affected by this Economy that is -I argue- the result of 100yrs of Sociopolitical Engineering and Government Iniquity, including Sanctioned Ponzi's; Debilitating Regulatory regimes; Fiscal Resource Confiscation; Markets Denial of access to Public Resources,  i offer my sincerest condolences.

To everyone else, expect the RENTAL Market to remain on fire for 10 to 20 years...when liberal intellectuals look back on "Progress" they fail to identify the Failure or embrace hard earned credit thereof. This contribution to continued economic malaise must be reversed, purge elected officials Round -2-, November 2012

I digress, for the Congressional Racist Caucus

Once more into the Mailbag for this timely message...on the FREE SHIT.

Why would a DemocRAT engage in Class Warfare?
Ignore the Congressional Racist Caucus, the answer is here:

The folks who are getting the free shit, don't like the folks who are
paying for the free shit, Because

The folks who are paying for the free shit, can no longer afford to pay for both the free shit and their own shit,

And,
The folks who are paying for the free shit, want the free shit to stop.
And the folks who are getting the free shit, want even more free shit on top of the free shit they are already getting!

Now...
The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the free shit, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free shit, that the people who are PAYING for the free shit, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So...
The people who are GETTING the free shit, have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free shit, by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free shit, and giving them the free shit in the first place.

WE have let the free shit giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free shit than paying for the free shit.

Now understand this. Even the greatest Republic can commit financial
suicide less than 250 years after being founded.

The Method?
Community Organizers figured out they could vote themselves money from the
treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.

The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 231 years ago. The number of people now getting free shit outnumbers the people paying for the free shit.

We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change can end of the United States as we know it.

ELECTION 2012 IS COMING
Take a Stand For The Stand!

A Brief Mission Checklist
Obama & Associated RATS : Gone!
Borders : Closed!
Culture : Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
Drug Free[bies] : Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
CEASE freebies to: Non-Citizens! -including State Department Aid-

We the people must Rally the POLLS!

Ode to Obama, by the Real Donald Trump

Perhaps the Donald did Pen this, or maybe Not, but it is worthy of his saavy and until I can confirm or deny...someone must get the Credit.

The EMAIL said it was Obamacare Analysis, but I think of it more as a Reminder of the Achievements of Stretch Pelosi, Fetch TheVotes Reid, and Zero competence hisself President Barack Millhouse Obama.


         "Obama Care Explained"

Let me get this straight . . . ... We're going to be "gifted" with a health care
Plan we are
forced to purchase and
fined
if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least
ten million more people
,
without adding
a single new doctor,
but provides for
16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman
says he
doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but
exempted
themselves from it, and signed by a President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who
didn't pay his taxes
, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any
benefits take effect
, by a government which has
already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare
, all to be overseen by a surgeon general
who is
obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could
possibly
go wrong
?


On this Tee-Party Downgrade Monday, take time to reflect on the courageous among us willing to give their all for our Freedom.

And VOW to Keep the Republic safe from internal enemies.

Author Unknown - Age of Insanity

And  it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the  people of the land
called America , having  lost their morals, their initiative, and  their
will to defend their liberties, chose  as their Supreme Leader that
person known as  "The One."





He  emerged from the vapors with a message that had  no meaning; but He
hypnotized the people  telling them, "I am sent to save you, from yourselves.

My  lack of experience, my questionable ethics,  my monstrous ego, and my
association with evil doers are of no consequence. 

I shall save you with Hope and Change

"Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who  preceded me is evil, that he has defiled  the nation, and  that all he has built must be destroyed."
 
And the  people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had  promised that it was good; and they believed.  

And "The One" said " We live in the greatest  country in the world. 
Help me change everything  about it!" 
And the people said, "Hallelujah!  Change is good!"  

Then he said, "We are  going to tax the rich fat-cats.
And the people  said "Sock it to them!" 
"And redistribute their  wealth." And the people said, "Show us the  money!" 
And the he said, "Redistribution of  wealth is good for everybody..."


And Joe the  plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're  going to
steal my money and give it to the  deadbeats??
And "The One" ridiculed and  taunted him, and Joe's personal records  were hacked and publicized.

One lone reporter  asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?
And she was banished from the Kingdom's press corps.



Then a citizen asked,  "With no foreign relations experience  and
having zero military experience or  knowledge, how will you deal with
radical  terrorists?
And "The One" said, "Simple. I  shall sit with
them and talk with them and  show them how nice we really are; and  they
will forget that they ever wanted to  kill us all!

And the people Said,  "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can  beat our weapons
into free cars for the people!
"


Then "The One" said "I  shall give 95% of you lower taxes." And  one,
lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't  pay ANY taxes.

So "The One" said, "Then I  shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats  pay!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah! Show  us the  money!"



Then  "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital  Gains when you  sell your homes!" And the people yawned and the  slumping housing market collapsed. And He said. "I  shall mandate employer-funded health care for every  worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give  every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and  transportation to the clinics." And the people said,  "Give me some of that!"  Then he said, "I shall  penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."   

And the people said, "Where's my rebate  check?"



Then  "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry  and
electricity rates will skyrocket!
And the  people said, "Coal is dirty,  coal is evil, no more coal! 
But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates." 

So "The  One" said, "not to worry. If
your rebate isn't  enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you  out.  
Just sign up with the ACORN and your troubles are over!"

Then He  said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and  slighted.. Let's
grant them amnesty, Social  Security, free education, free lunches, free medical  care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing
." 

And  the people said, "Hallelujah!" and they made him king!




And  so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs  and
ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off  workers. Others
simply gave up and went out of business  and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff.  
The banking industry was destroyed.  Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. 
And more of the people were  without a means of support.

Then "The One"  said, "I am the 'the Chosen One'- The Messiah - and I'm here  to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!" 
But our foreign trading partners said unto  Him. "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of  camel dung! You will have to pay more..." 
And "The One" said,  "Wait a minute. That is not fair!"

And the New World Order said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have  embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist  state and a second-rate power." 
"Now you shall play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?" But  yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and spat upon him and stoned him in the POLLING PLACES, and his name was dung. 

And the  once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people  were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change  "The One" had given them was as like unto a poison that had  destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that  they had built.


And  the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in  anguish, "give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!

But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.


You  may think this a fairy tale, but it's not.
It's happening  RIGHT NOW.

Reject the notion that MORE WASTED TAX DOLLARS is the Solution to ANYTHING!







THIS  really tells it like it is.  After reading it -- and  before you go into the bathroom to throw-up -- forward it to  your friends and those you know who care about our country  and what is happening to it under the rule of Commissar  Obamanation.
The day we lose our will  to fight is the day we lose our  freedom.

 
GOD BLESS   AMERICA
