Wake up and smell the cycle

After studying great civilizations, Alexander Tytler determined that the average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:


Where are we now?
Complacency? Apathy? Or are we cruising down Dependence street?

WAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE UUUUUPPPPPPPPP!
I have wanted to scream and yell for several months now, to shake people and ask them if they know what the H-E-double hockey sticks is going on in the world.

YOU CANNOT BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND. It is our children's future we are playing with. Our abundance has led us to laziness, selfishness and a lack of Public Virtue.
Do YOU know what's going on in our government, or are you someone who says, "I just don't follow politics."

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. ~Thomas Paine

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security ~Benjamin Franklin

Under the guise of less government, our president was elected. Apparently no one actually READ his books that said he would do and say whatever he needed to get what he wants. You know what? No one thought Hitler was serious, either. And now we are faced with the largest government we've ever had, a national debt larger than all of our previous presidents combined, and push towards nationalized healthcare that has NEVER WORKED....ANYWHERE.

Please, do your homework. Read. Find out the truth. The voyage out of tyranny and bondage is usually bloody, but we can PREVENT that by standing up NOW.

Time: June 24, 2009 all day, or during the broadcast of Obama’s infomercial for healthcare

Location: Local ABC Affiliate Near You! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ABC_television_affiliates

Organized By: American Patriot

Event Description:On June 24th, join us as we protest ABC joining NBC as official state media by broadcasting an extreme leftist , to help Obama take over our health care system. We must take a stand to help stop the slide toward communism/fascism.This is a line that must be drawn in the sand, and this line must be drawn here and now! We must take a stand! We've already lost so much, and the powers that be seem to have forgotten the message of the TEA Parties, let's remind them that We The People aren't going to just sit and watch while the government takes total control of our lives and robs us of our freedom and our incomes!If our health care system falls to the communist/fascist threat as well, then many believe it's game over.

Let us not go quietly in the night; we won't give up our free market without a fight!

Why do so many Canadians come across the border every year to get everything from cancer treatment to major surgery? Because socialized medicine is a failed system; the quality of care suffers greatly, and the sanctity of life is assaulted, when the Government runs things!

So we have two very compelling issues: a Free Press (yeah, they're ridiculously biased already, but this is simply fascist), and a free-market health care system that is the envy of the world!

We've already lost control of our banks, our automobile industry, and our government. Let's not also lose, in the selfsame year, our free market healthcare system!The time for calling representatives only is past. It's time to surround some TV stations starting at least an hour before the broadcast!

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSETue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate."...As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC's astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009. Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama.

In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming.

"In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda. If that is the case, this primetime infomercial should be paid for out of the DNC coffers. President Obama does not hold a monopoly on health care reform ideas or on free airtime. The President has stated time and time again that he wants a bipartisan debate. Therefore, the Republican Party should be included in this primetime event, or the DNC should pay for your airtime."

Did you know the new healthcare bill is 615 pages long? How many of our representatives will actually READ IT? Very few. In fact, they hired a SPEED READER to summarize the TARP bill, spending $247 billion and not actually reading it? Is this who we hired to represent us?

Not to mention another $100 billion to the IMF, which provides aide money to other countries. We have no money, but we're passing anothe 100 billion?

Do you know the true cost of the healthcare bill? Don't let me tell you, read the articles yourself. If the number $1 trillion doesn't scare you, it should. Do your homework.

What about the United We Serve project? Are you okay with someone forcing you to volunteer? Oh sure, Obama says it's voluntary, but if you do your homework and find out how many things he said and did just the opposite, you'd be concerned!

Memorandum

To: All DOI Employees

From: Secretary

Subject: United We Serve

Earlier this week, President Obama announced the launch of “United We
Serve,” a call to service for all Americans designed to address the
Nation’s growing needs as a result of the economic downturn. It will
empower ordinary people to take an active role in their communities and
in their futures. In announcing United We Serve, the President outlined
its purpose to promote health care, support education and improve
literacy, provide community renewal, and advance clean energy and public
lands restoration. United We Serve will expand upon existing volunteer
programs and give everyday Americans the tools they need to develop new
service projects.

At the Department of the Interior, we will promote service in the areas
of outdoor youth mentoring and public lands stewardship. Across
America, our treasured landscapes are in need of restoration, hiking
trails are in need of maintenance, invasive species are threatening the
health of natural ecosystems, and young people are losing touch with the
outdoors. United We Serve presents us with a tremendous opportunity to
address these problems in an innovative and broadly accessible manner.

Over the coming weeks and months, the Department will highlight key
volunteer opportunities designed to protect and restore public lands and
engage young people in the outdoors. We are working with our partners
to organize and post service opportunities on www.Serve.gov, a
searchable database that allows potential volunteers to locate
opportunities around the country. The site also features toolkits that
will guide volunteers who prefer to develop their own outdoor youth
mentoring or land stewardship projects. These resources will allow
Americans to reengage in the outdoors and to serve their country by
preserving our natural wonders for generations to come.

On June 22, 2009, I will join my fellow Cabinet Secretaries in a
coordinated day of service to formally launch United We Serve
nationwide. On that day, I will issue a call to action for Department
of the Interior employees to participate in United We Serve and commit
to a volunteer service goal this summer. Whether you pledge to take a
child fishing once a month, organize a team to restore one mile of
trail, or serve dinner weekly at a soup kitchen, I encourage you to set
a volunteering goal. I believe the Department of the Interior can be
the standard-bearer for volunteerism and service by Federal employees,
and this summer is our chance to shine. Watch your mailbox for more
details on how to get involved in this initiative as a Department
employee.

This summer is a remarkable opportunity for the Department to invest in
public lands and achieve long-term benefits for the American public. I
hope you will all join me and help make United We Serve a success.

Thank you.

What is the cost of this project? Who knows! Surely there is cost in administration, websites, staff....but that wasn't revealed...yet.

P.S. This was written by another white lady afraid of volunteering. I have to run, though, because we're making dinner for a church family whose dad is in the hospital in critical condition. Then I have to get ready for the funeral we're helping to cater...for free.
