Frozen Iguanas Falling From Trees in Freezing Florida

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

I didn't write this. I've learned there are copies flowing freely on the net and thought I'd add it here for my readers. You may have already seen it. If not, have a read. I like it!

My thanks to whoever did write it.

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

1. Term Limits: One Term Maximum.

One Six-year Senate term and One Four Year House term.
Congress should concentrate on acting for the good of the country, not upon getting re-elected. Worthwhile bills not acted upon during a current session will be carried forth and voted on by elected successors.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

2. No Tenure / No Pension.

A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security

All money in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security System immediately. Congress participates with the American people and can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans..

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.

Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

7. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void with the effective date of this reform act.

The American people did not make any contracts with congressmen; congressmen made all contracts with and for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term, then go home and back to work.

Calling Al Gore. . .

I hate to bore you guys with this, but has anyone heard from Al Gore during the recent abnormally cold weather. Cold weather which, by the way, seems to be happening on a (gasp) global scale?

Hey, Al, did you know that:

This report has an interesting tidbit.

Freeze warnings covered nearly all of Florida with temperatures expected to drop into the 20s overnight. Freezing iguanas were seen falling out of trees in Florida; experts say the cold-blooded reptiles become immobilized when the temperature falls into the 40s and they lose their grip on the tree. (Emphasis mine.)

In the UK, The Sun reports:

Commuters on the roads and rails were suffering travel chaos today as the country woke to more than a foot of snow — during the iciest winter for A CENTURY.

Here are a couple more links, just in case Al wants to read further:

New, Colder Weekend Freeze Looms for the Gulf Coast

Coming Major European Storm, Italy Targeted

And just for fun:

The "frozen Gore" ice sculpture is back in Alaska.

That's it folks, I have to go gather some firewood.

Lies, Lies, and More Lies

What happened to the promise of televising the Health Care Negotiations on C-SPAN? Obama repeatedly said he would, and you can check these videos to count 8 instances of him doing so.

Even CBS News has taken notice of the issue.

During the campaign, though, candidate Obama regularly promised something different - to broadcast all such negotiations on C-SPAN, putting the entire process of pounding out health care reform out in the open. (That promise applied to the now-completed processing of forging House and Senate bills, too.)

Back when Republicans controlled Congress and George W. Bush was in the White House, it was Democrats who angrily complained about secret backroom deals.

Now the roles are reversed.

The mainstream media needs to play catch-up with the American people. We have known for sometime now that the President is a bald-faced liar. We know he, Pelosi, and Reid and the rest of the corruptocrats are going to pass whatever bills they want, when they want, and We the People can be damned.

Universal Voter Registration

Ahhhh, now I see.

I, like many of you had been wondering what the democrats were thinking by passing legislation that would surely get them voted out of office this fall.

Silly me, they have a plan.

It's called Universal Voter Registration. According to an article by John Fund:

Call to all Patriots;  it's time to start writing your Senators and Congresspersons to voice opposition against a Universal Voter registration.  This legislation would involve the Federal government taking over from the state, the criteria used to register voters.  Every individual from every list the state possesses would automatically be placed on the voter rolls.  Now you may not think this problematic, yet the potential corruption in legislation like this could be MASSIVE.  If you thought Acorn was bad, just wait as those unconcerned, apathetic voters who have never voted suddenly through ghost votes find a voice.  Ghost votes that they never knew they cast, that were easily manipulated by corrupt forces in either party.  Currently less than 40% of eligible voters vote in major elections, which leaves a potential for 60% voter fraud.   Should this happen, wave our Republic .. good-bye.

The corruption potential wrapped in this package is enormous! James Simpson writes in the American Thinker:

The problems with universal voter registration are numerous and obvious. Many states' lists include vast numbers of illegals, including some states which allow illegals to obtain drivers licenses; because many homeowners have more than one home, there will be duplicates; because so many people are on so many separate federal and state government agency lists, there will be duplicates; and because so many lists exist with little or no cross-checking capability, all of these duplicates are likely to go uncorrected. Add to this the fact that Dems hope to extend voting rights to felons, and the whole thing begins to look like a nationwide Democrat voter registration drive facilitated by taxpayers.

Guess we can add this to our list when we write and call the low life's Congressmen and Senators that rule our districts represent us.

Hey, Al Gore, Explain this

I'd love to have a one-on-one with Al Gore and the Global Warming idiots right now. We are freezing our behinds off (in the South) and the cold weather reaches around the globe. Check these out:

U.S. Faces Record Cold Weather…

Beijing suffering coldest weather in decades. . .

World suffers from Arctic weather. . .

Peru's mountain people fight for survival in cold weather. . .

Iowa's temperatures 30° Below Normal. . .

There are more reports like these. Of course, the climate change nut cases will say (if I were a betting woman I'd place one here) that this is a prelude to the warming we are sure to undergo soon.

Yeah, right!

Prayers Are Answered For Rush

God does listen to conservative prayers, unlike what some liberals might want us to believe.

After extensive tests that found nothing wrong with his heart, Rush Limbaugh was released from The Queens Medical Center in Honolulu on Friday.

Rush will reportedly take a few more days off and return to his radio show sometime next week.

And to the liberals who on Twitter, in blogs and other media wished the worst for Rush...well, may your wishes turn around and bite you in the tail.
