LIVING INTENTIONALLY

The People Against the Wealthy…It Not New Folks…It’s been going on as long as America’s been a Nation.

MEET JOHN DOE  1941 Frank Capra
John Doe Delivers National Radio Address
“…calling for people to get involved…”

Wake up, John Doe. You’re the hope of the world.

John Doe: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am the man you all know as John Doe. I took that name because it seems to describe — because it seems to describe the average man, and that’s me — and that’s me.

Well, it was me — before I said I was gonna jump off the City Hall roof at midnight on Christmas Eve. Now, I guess I’m not average any more. Now, I’m getting all sorts of attention, from big shots, too — the mayor and governor, for instance. They don’t like those articles I’ve been writing.

Well, people like the Governor — people like the Governor — and that fella there can — can stop worrying. I’m not gonna talk about them. I’m gonna talk about us, the average guys, the John Does.

If anybody should ask you what the average John Doe is like, you couldn’t tell him because he’s a million and one things. He’s Mr. Big and Mr. Small. He’s simple and he’s wise. He’s inherently honest, but he’s got a streak of larceny in his heart. He seldom walks up to a public telephone without shoving his finger into the slot to see if somebody left a nickel there.

He’s the man the ads are written for. He’s the fella everybody sells things to. He’s Joe Doakes, the world’s greatest stooge and the world’s greatest strength.

Yes, sir — Yes, sir, we’re a great family, the John Does. We are the meek who are — who are supposed to inherit the earth. You’ll find us everywhere. We raise the crops; we dig the mines, work the factories, keep the books, fly the planes and drive the busses. And when a cop yells: “Stand back there, you!” He means us, the John Does!

We have existed since time began. We built the pyramids. We saw Christ crucified, pulled the oars for Roman emperors, sailed the boats for Columbus, retreated from Moscow with Napoleon and froze with Washington at Valley Forge.

Yes, sir. We’ve been in there dodging left hooks since before history began to walk. In our struggle for freedom we’ve hit the canvas many a time, but we always bounced back! Because we’re the people — and we’re tough.

They’ve started a lot of talk about free people going soft — that we can’t take it. That’s a lot of hooeyl A free people can beat the world at anything, from war to tiddle-de-winks, if we all pull in the same direction.

I know a lot of you are saying “What can I do? I’m just a little punk. I don’t count.” Well, you’re dead wrong! The little punks have always counted because in the long run the character of a country is the sum total of the character of its little punks.

But, we’ve all got to get in there and pitch. We can’t win the old ballgame unless we have teamwork. And that’s where every John Doe comes in. It’s up to him to get together with his teammates. And your teammate, my friend, is the guy next door to you. Your neighbor — he’s a terribly important guy that guy next door. You’re gonna need him and he’s gonna need you, so look him up. If he’s sick, call on him. If he’s hungry, feed him. If he’s out of a job, find him one.

To most of you, your neighbor is a stranger, a guy with a barkin’ dog and high fence around him. Now, you can’t be a stranger to any guy that’s on your own team. So tear down the fence that separates you. Tear down the fence and you’ll tear down a lot of hates and prejudices. Tear down all the fences in the country and you’ll really have teamwork.

I know a lot of you are saying to yourselves, “He’s askin’ for a miracle to happen. He’s expectin’ people to change all of a sudden. Well, you’re wrong. It’s no miracle. It’s no miracle because I see it happen once every year. And and so do you — at Christmas time. There’s somethin’ swell about the spirit of Christmas, to see what it does to people, all kinds of people.

Now, why can’t that spirit, that same, warm Christmas spirit last the whole year around? Gosh, if it ever did, if each and every John Doe would make that spirit last 365 days out of the year, we’d develop such strength, we’d create such a tidal wave of good will that no human force could stand against it. Yes sir, my friends, the meek can only inherit the earth when the John Doe’s start lovin’ their neighbors.

You better start right now. Don’t wait till the game is called on account of darkness.

Wake up, John Doe. You’re the hope of the world.

It’s Not Called the Clinton Recession for Nothing!

Why We Can’t Afford to Elect Hillary
This came in from consumersbware

These are tenuous times, some saying America is going down for the last count. We must have a leader of the Free World in the White House who did not become part of the 1% by destroying the American economy, is not the Corporate Candidate who’s been bought and paid for, is not supported by Wall Street bankers, who is not being considered for indictment by the FBI for National Security Crimes, who is not under investigation for perjury and obstruction of justice, whose husband wasn’t impeached and acquitted of perjury and obstruction, and who as Secretary of State, hasn’t sold America out for millions of dollars in foreign government donations. But Hilary has done all of these things so she is disqualified to represent the greatest country in the world in its greatest hour of need. These activities are detrimental to the America’s standing in the world, the economy, the middle class and our way of life.

This is an article of critical importance for those who are thinking of putting Hilary Clinton in the White House again but have not researched her history, and for the youth of America supporting her who weren’t alive to experience the damage done the first time the Clinton’s held office.

This is published information in the public domain from those who lived through the Clinton administration’s deliberate creation of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and with it, the destruction of the middle class, jobs moving overseas and financial institutions getting too big to fail created by Bill Clinton’s NAFTA and repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act resulting in the 2008 Clinton Recession where millions of American’s lost their  homes and businesses. 93 million people are still out of work and the number of homeless children has reached record highs in the land of prosperity.

“The Clinton Team Is Writing ‘Too Big To Fail’ Out Of The Financial Crisis.  Why grapple with history when you can just rewrite it? www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-too-big-to…Typical Hilary, flip flopping again is now siding with “Republicans who represent the rich,” having her ‘banking brain trust’ twist the facts about banks being too big to fail. The  reason the financial crisis was so complicated and endangered the entire global economy was because the white collar criminals who perpetrated the fraud were ‘too big to fail’ and not to bail them out would have caused the immediate collapse of the entire US economy.”

If you haven’t googled the Clinton Cash book, Glass Steagall Act & Bill Clinton, Clinton’s criminal record, Clinton criminal friends, Clinton Recession 2008, Clinton deaths, Secretary of State for Hire: Hilary Clinton Made Millions, Hilary Clinton Lies, Hilary’s 22 Biggest Scandals, Bill Clinton’s 80 Million Dollar Payday, Bill Clinton’s sex addiction, The Clinton Crime Family, you have no idea who you’re voting for. There is a pathology here that is hard to fathom until you read the overwhelming preponderance of evidence against them. It’s like voting for the enemy who threw us out of our homes and costs us our jobs.

We cannot afford people like this representing our country to the world. They clearly do not present the face of hardworking, honest, family oriented, humane people that Americans represent. They lack the American spirit, values and virtues that make our country great.

We want someone progressive who wants to change the inequity in Washington that is blocking essential legislation that will benefit the country and its citizens. We want progress and change, we need it if we are to survive. Hilary criticizes Sanders for his change policies because she is making so much money from things as they are, she’s never going to bite the system that feeds her.

We want a person who wants to re-establish Congressional representation for the middle class, rebuild our country by bringing jobs back to America, close the income gap between the 1% and the rest of the country, stop the war on the middle class, is dedicated to tax reform and making the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and only Bernie Sanders is running on this platform.

If Bernie can succeed in closing some loop holes and getting a tax on billionaires, Corporate America, and Wall Street Bankers through Congress, our country will be able to pay for health care and education without raising the taxes on the middle class. The Republicans are never going to tax their constituency, the 1%. Hillary Clinton is on their payroll so she fails on every single parameter of these imperatives we need so urgently at this moment in time. It was the Clintons who caused many of the problems we now have to repair resulting from the damage done by the Clinton Recession.

“Sanders Proposes Tax on Billionaires to Reduce Wealth …www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders… Sen. Bernie Sanders … Sanders Proposes Tax on Billionaires to Reduce Wealth Inequality … rebuild the disappearing middle class…”
Clinton, a billionaire himself, urged Congress to extend the tax cuts for the wealthy. Just the opposite of what we need to get the country on its feet and relieve the middle class.

“Senator Bernie Sanders Says He Knows About Working Across the Aisle    ‘I am probably the most progressive member in the United States Senate, but I have–over the years not only in the Senate, but in the House–worked with Republicans when there was common ground,’ Sanders said.”

‘In a number of years, I got more amendments passed in the House, working with Republicans than anyone else,’ Sanders said.”http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/bernie-sanders-says-he-s-ready-to-work-with-congress-and-he-has-done-it”

What we need is someone who wants to bring the American standard of living up to that of other developed countries, a highly respected member of Congress who can stand by his record of voting for the middle class, veterans, and against the Iraq war instead of making excuses for their record like Hillary has to. He is known in Congress for his integrity and honesty. He is the “ranking minority leader on the Senate Budget Committee, has been an active civil rights protest organizer for the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and participated in the Martin Luther King March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom…”

If we voters don’t do our homework, people who are only interested in how much money they can make in Washington could get in office again and finish destroying our country so courageously and selflessly being fought for by America’s youth. Preserving our way of life is an American principle that has been paid for with the blood of our heroic fighting forces for two hundred and thirty years and they deserve better from us than to throw away our vote or not care enough about the only true democracy in the world to get out and vote.

We’re riled up about the issues because we’re talking about the future of America folks…remember….God, Family….America….the word that bring tears to our eyes and pain to our hearts when we see her being destroyed from the inside out.

If you’ve traveled as I have, you know there is no place on earth like America that is synonymous with freedom, opportunity, faith, and generosity. People sacrifice their lives to come to our shores so their children can have a better quality of life, but that American dream is being taken from us. “….the United States of America was the world’s economic king, and our people enjoyed the highest standard of living in recorded history” before Clinton’s passage of NAFTA and multiple other laws that abolished our status and devastated our economy. Below is a partial list of his administration’s systematic destruction of the United States.

“The global elite… Trilateral member William Jefferson Clinton” that control the world, have established their police state, dumbed us down and drugged us up, bought Congress, are destroying our opportunity to make a living, support our families and keep a roof over their heads, are endangering our health by legislating for the insurance industry, big pharma that is killing us by putting high profits over people’s health and selling us banned drugs approved by the FDA, and food purveyors that are poisoning our children. Step up to the plate people and cast your vote in an informed and responsible way before it’s too late.

“Clinton’s Legacy: The Financial and Housing Meltdown – Reason.com  The only people who benefited from this atrocity, NAFTA, were the wealthiest global corporations and CEOs….universally opposed by labor unions because of its devastating impact on manufacturing jobs in the U.S.”

Hilary’s false campaign promises, flip flopping, and disparity with the facts are amply explained online. We’ve listed a few here being heard on the news daily.

Hilary has the effrontery to run on ‘restoring the middle class’ after they destroyed it and made millions doing it, and ‘narrowing the gap’ between the middle class and the 1% which they contributed to in large part.

“BILL CLINTON TO EXPLAIN HIS RECESSION ON CBS’ “60… www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/860170/posts” Not only did Clinton legislate the country into the Great Recession but his side deals elevated the Clinton’s to the status of the 1% that almost destroyed the world economy through manipulating and defrauding the global financial markets.

Right after the last Democratic Debate where Bernie Sanders said “Hilary was being disingenuous,” another word for dishonest, about his record, she went right out and continued to slander him in every speech.

She is claiming that she has devoted her life to helping minorities when it was she and her husband that threw millions of people out of their homes and jobs destroying the middle class and widened the gulf between the have and the have nots. Hilary says anyone who looks at her record….knows that she’s been “fighting to even the odds for people all her life.”  Biden says she ‘is a newcomer to the issues of income and equality.’ He’s wrong, she doesn’t believe in them.

“Despite the human costs of welfare reform, Bill Clinton is still bragging about knocking people off welfare and Hillary has neither repudiated nor disavowed the 1996 Clinton welfare legislation, which has been a catastrophe for the black community. Hillary Clinton not only supported the 1996 legislation, but as recently as her 2008 presidential campaign, publicly supported it, expressing no regret about how it turned out and telling the New York Times she thought the act was necessary and enormously successful….

With Republican support………he passed a sweeping welfare-reform bill in 1996 that required recipients to work and placed lifetime limits on benefits, fulfilling his campaign promise to “end welfare as we have come to know it.”

….In recent weeks, we’ve asked you to tell us what you think is causing our persistently high unemployment rate and sluggish economic growth.  Many of you answered with a single acronym: NAFTA.”

Are we expected to believe that a person who did an about face on health care and takes money from the healthcare lobbyists cares about reducing the staggering debt of health care or providing coverage to citizens? Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton defended her choice to take campaign checks from lobbyists …Clinton thinks the government is fine as is… its ok to take bribes from lobbyist. After flip flopping from her position when her husband was in the White House getting in bed with the healthcare industry as a Senator, she now has flipped again and is promoting universal health care.

Hillary’s blatant and reckless disregard for the safety and security of the country, her continued illegal obstruction of justice by presenting only the emails she selected while ‘somehow her server was erased taking the evidence with it,’ [just like she did in Whitewater] and the inconsistency in her explanations, her obvious disrespect for the laws and the citizens are completely oppositional to her stated “commitment to a transparent government.”

Read the carefully researched Clinton Cash book and you will be horrified. She hid the emails because she was instrumental in transferring 50% of U.S. domestic uranium output to the Russian government while serving as Secretary of State. According to a CNN article. “donations made to Clinton foundation by foreign entities the book hones in on foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and speaking fees President Bill Clinton raked in during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.”

“The Clintons Criminal Records News Clintons’s $200,000 an Hour Pay From Goldman Sachs is Nothing to Laugh At”…..The Huffington Post5 hours ago

“According to reports, Clinton’s committing perjury is nothing compared to the damage Bill Clinton’s political career did to this country.” Bill Clinton has made millions off the recent Great Recession that he created that came a hair away from destroying the entire world economy after he signed a bill that ensured that derivatives could not be regulated. He was Wall Street’s 1% fair haired boy and was paid handsomely.

In Diane Sawyer’s interview with Hilary about her having made five million dollars and the president having made more than a hundred million dollars, Hilary as usual, insulted the reporter and us by assuming we were too stupid to know the truth by deflecting and saying they were “dead broke” when they left the White House.

“Secretary Of State For Hire: Hillary Clinton Made Millions   www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-20/secretary-state-hire… This means that during her tenure as Secretary of State, Hillary … Hillary Clinton Made Millions From Foreign … not cake.”

She treats her current email scandal like a joke when it not only evidences she cannot be trusted to tell the truth, is willing to break the law by destroying evidence and refusing to produce it, but that she showed critically poor judgement in using her unsecured personal email account to transmit sensitive material of National Security, or she didn’t expect to get caught having gotten away with so much.

“Hillary’s emails were ‘beyond top secret’ | New York Post nypost.com/2016/01/20/hillarys-emails-were-beyond-top-secret  WASHINGTON — Some of the emails found on Hillary Clinton’s home server were beyond top secret and contained the highest level of classified information … far more sensitive than the top secret classification.”

The Clintons chose big business over the citizenry years before they ran for President the first time, having the “President Makers” put Bill in office.

“Bill Clinton’s Repeal of Glass-Steagall Caused the Financial Crisis The repeal of the law separating commercial and investment banking caused the 2008 financial crisis. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/economic-intelligence/2012/08/27/repeal-of-glass-steagall-caused-the-financial-crisis”

“When President Bill Clinton signed off on NAFTA/GATT, he quite literally slashed the economic throat of the United States. We’ve been hemorrhaging jobs to foreign nations like Communist China ever since. http://rense.com/general76/cclle.htm”

“Why did Bill Clinton ruin our economy with NAFTA ? Reagan had our economy soaring after Carter almost ruined it . Clinton passed NAFTA and lost millions of jobs and ruined our economy . Until 1993, the United States of America was the world’s economic king, and our people enjoyed the highest standard of living in recorded history. But NAFTA/GATT changed all that by virtually removing all trade protections that ensured our general prosperity.”

“After Clinton won the presidency, his administration negotiated the side agreements and made NAFTA one of its top priorities. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/feb/25/”
This is why the destruction of our economy was a deliberate act on their part. Clinton had already negotiated his pay offs before his legislative maneuvers that caused the Great Recession we haven’t recovered from yet.

This, together with the threat of civil rights lawsuits under the Community Reinvestment Act were the mortgage lenders primary motivations. www.cnbc.com/id/47693595”

“Commodity Futures Modernization Act in 2000 allowed for the deregulation of the risky derivatives market. Acts such as these, made it easier for banks to practice predatory lending and give risky mortgages to low-income households.”

“On December 21, 2000, President Bill Clinton signed a bill called the Commodities Futures Modernization Act.….setting the stage for the financial crisis.  Just two months later, …..Clinton received $125,000 from Morgan Stanley, in the form of a payment for a speech…..Credit Suisse also hired Clinton for a speech, at a $125,000 speaking fee…

Over the course of the next ten years after his Presidency, Clinton brought in roughly $8-10 million a year in speaking fees…..He didn’t just reap speaking fee cash from the financial services sector – corporate titans like Oracle and outsourcing specialist Cisco paid up, as did many Israel-focused groups, Middle Eastern interests, and universities…

Though it is not unusual for former presidents to command millions of dollars in speaking fees after leaving office, Clinton is the only one subjected to strict disclosure requirements as a result of his wife’s position as a high-ranking federal official, first as a United States Senator and now as Secretary of State.” http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2012/05/its-not-about-reelection-bill-clintons-80-million-payday.html”

Is it politeness, fear, big business ownership of the airwaves, or just politically incorrect to tell the truth about candidates, the destruction of our country by the global elitist, or our foreign policy? Desperate times call for desperate measures….like telling the truth. We can’t vote for people who deceive the public by claiming they care about the voter’s welfare and the condition of the country, and behind the scenes deliberately destroy our future and that of the country.

As an attorney she is an officer of the court but considers herself above the law. If we can believe the media, she commits perjury, obstructs justice, slanders people, destroys evidence, takes the law into her own hands, etc. with impunity whenever it serves her purposes regardless of the damage. Her behavior during her Whitewater scandal where she avoided going to jail through obstruction of justice and purported numerous illegal machinations, resulted in the deputy White House counsel, who had handled the Clinton’s Whitewater issues, being shot dead.

The Clinton’s entire careers and lives have been clandestine and the public will probably never know everything they are hiding and why, but the books, newspapers, and the net can’t print enough information about their crimes, scandals, deceptions, and contributions to the collapse of America’s economy and the middle class and lower middle class.

Something to think about….before the election.
[I’m rushing through this so I hope you will bear with me. I don’t ask you to agree only to be open and receptive.]

Here’s why I love Obama and support him….because I love America. Before he was even elected, Obama cared enough about the country to prepare himself for the biggest challenge our country has faced since the 1930’s, Wall Street’s Great Recession. Obama prepared for America’s economic crisis while his Republican opponent and the Republican President himself were so uninformed they dropped out of the crisis discussions and let Obama take over.

He was the only one running for office who cared about the economic- crisis enough to take the time, interest, and effort to get consistently and regularly briefed and participate in Washington’s Bail out hearings with Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke as they attempted the impossible feat of saving us from total Wall Street collapse which would have meant total economic collapse.

Have we forgotten the crash and how business and lending was at a stand still when Obama took office? I was in the market then and it was scary and potentially catastrophic moment to moment. Everyday we waited for the other shoe to drop as another giant went under taking the rest with them. Remember the Bail outs the Republicans hate Obama for were not his. They were initiated in the Republican administration to try to save the country from the devastation they had created.

Having said that, let me say I am not denying Obama has made mistakes, been naive and promised things he didn’t realize the system would never let him do, he’s taken bad advice, and he has disappointed us as all, as heroes we elevate do.

But most of all, he was not hands on after his brilliant efforts to bring together every service industry of the medical community for a meeting of the minds for his health care reform bill. He allowed congress to handle one of the most important pieces of legislation that presidents have been trying to pass since Teddy Roosevelt. Being politicians, they were so self serving in their building of the bill, it has been widely declaimed when its necessity is indisputable to stop the country from going bankrupt from runaway medical costs. This was a major first mistake that taught him a hard lesson.

But he has passed more beneficial legislation for the American people than any President since Roosevelt. He isn’t the kind of person who can easily talk about his good work so dozens of speakers from all walks of life, including President Clinton, came to the Democratic Convention and told us about the incredible impact Obama has had on this country in our hour of need, not for the wealthy, for us, the working citizens who are the first to come to the aid of others in any emergency….those of us who know we are all in it together and that’s what makes America great.

So let’s get to why a lot of us are afraid to elect another Republican ticket when we haven’t recovered form the last one.

Have we forgotten how we got in this deep recession where we’re losing everything we’ve worked for all our lives, including the American dream?

The party of the 1% got into office and…

…sent our youth to fight a phony war they borrowed money from China to pay for increasing our National Debt to $808,306,218,270, 217 and still incurring interest every minute,

….gave breaks to Wall Street bankers and continued deregulating them so they could sell fraudulent vehicles worldwide, make billions, hedge their bets with insurance against their own vehicles, make Too Big to Fail a reality, and take down the world economy.

This is what Romney wants to return to. Romney has already pledged….
to roll back Obama’s regulations on Wall Street bankers, return things to how they were before Obama, guaranteeing a great depression.

Obama’s Wall Street reform act Romney can’t wait to reverse…

The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into federal law by President Barack Obama. Passed as a response to the late-2000s recession, it brought the most significant changes to financial regulation in the United States since the regulatory reform that followed the Great Depression. It made changes in the American financial regulatory environment that affect all federal financial regulatory agencies and almost every part of the nation’s financial services industry.

Romney wants to guarantee more tax cuts for the wealthy increasing our national debt by five trillion dollars,

….raise middle class taxes by removing tax exemptions,

….balloon the deficit for ten years,

….take away medical insurance for 47 million people in the richest country in the world

….allow insurance companies to make billions denying coverage to the insured and the uninsured, reverse Obama’s Affordable Care Act, the 80/20 rule requiring that insurance companies reimburse unused premiums. So far, over a billion dollars have been refunded to customers.

….stop Obama’s investing in American infrastructure, renewable technology, education, energy alternatives, factories, manufacturing, and science using Ryan’s plan to divest in America at our most critical time of rebuilding our economy,

…..privatize Medicare for the elderly who have already paid for it,
and the list goes on.

Can we afford to have another Republican in the white house who is solely invested in the wealthy getting wealthier and ignoring the needs of the rest of the country and the country itself? The 1% don’t need the middle class anymore and they’re making that evident in the most painful way to American families.

How qualified is Romney?

Among the many speakers at the convention was Governor Deval Patrick, who gave Romney a “red hot denunciation” across the board saying he left the state in massive debt, even for Massachusetts, and was not responsible for all government improvements he touts that make him qualified to be President.
  
It wasn’t Romney’s universal health care plan in Massachusetts, it was Senator Ted Kennedy’s that he is taking credit for, and at the same time, criticizing Obama’s plan which was based on the Massachusetts health care plan that he is so proud of.

Being a good debater has nothing to do with being a good President, especially when you are wiling misquote and make up facts. The Republican party stated they would not let the facts interfere with their campaign and they haven’t.

At this last minute before the election, Romney has once again claimed he has changed his positions, denied the position he has run on, so that the only thing we know about Romney is that he is either has no stable plan for the recovery of America, or will say anything to get elected. Even as governor of liberal Massachusetts he changed in mid stream to the conservative side as preparation for running for President.

After ignoring the middle class all year suddenly he is talking about us as though he cared and had intentions of supporting our recovery from the recession.

He claims he cares about America and her citizens….

Romney’s thinks we should let the foreclosures continue because he has so many houses and cars, losing one of them has no meaning for him.
He wants to deregulate the banks completely.

Obama, who came from a hardworking American family and rose to the top through his own efforts understands and has provided us with foreclosure alternatives, Making Home Affordable, HAFA and other federal programs to help us stay in our homes, putting the bank’s feet to the fire. 

Romney’s claim to care about the economy…..

He has millions so he is self insured against a Depression if he takes office.

Romney’s party yacht flies the Cayman Island flag. Instead of supporting America by putting his money to work here, he hides it offshore to evade taxes.

Instead of actually putting American citizens to work, he is a big proponent of sending jobs offshore. As a stock holder he is profiting from offshoring manufacturing jobs and was the engineer of the Bain playbook and taught them to layoff Americans and send jobs overseas, “shrugging off workers cry for help in middle America as they had to train their Chinese replacements.”

Romney says marriage is for one man and one woman…..
He is a loyal and devoted Mormon, a sect not known for one man and one woman marriages.

Obama repealed the don’t ask, don’t tell policy for the military and  supported legislation that prevents the federal government from denying same-sex couples the same protections received by their straight counterparts.
 
President Obama has led the way on significant advancements in equality for the LGBT community. From his historic endorsement of marriage equality, to repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,”

What about our Veterans?

A national shame we all share is the way we treat our returning veterans. It is heartbreaking to compassionate and grateful citizens who honor and appreciate the youth of our country giving their lives and limbs and sanity in war to preserve our way of life that the government does not take care of them before they go to war, in war, and when they come home.

Obama has consistently stood by our veterans and their families. 
He signed the largest increase of funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs in 30 years to ensure veterans receive the health care benefits they’ve earned, expanding mental health services and counseling particularly for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury, assured job opportunities and the respect they have earned, funded services for newly discharged Veterans, continued the drive to end homelessness, improve access to benefits and services, and reduce the disability claims, compensation, and pension backlog which is unconscionable.

He has signed two tax credits into law encouraging businesses to hire unemployed veterans and wounded warriors.

He has expanded GI educational options. As part of his Wall Street reform law he put a consumer cop on the beat to crack down on colleges and predatory lenders that prey on veterans and military families by misleading them about financial aid, job placement programs and home mortgages.

On the other hand…

“Rather than honor the sacrifices of our service members and families and make them a priority, Governor Romney has chosen not to propose any significant plan to directly put veterans back to work. He called ending the war in Iraq “tragic,”

….[and] even suggested turning veterans’ health care into a voucher system, which the VFW opposes.
As Governor of Massachusetts he cut veteran outreach and other services by hundreds of thousands of dollars in his first month in office, and proposed a reduction in Massachusetts’ government hiring preferences for veterans.
If any American who has been blessed with the rewards of hard work and opportunity is concerned about sharing the wealth of the country with those who need a hand up, if they are stuck in the “what about me” syndrome, they are forgetting what it means to be one of God’s children and part of the humanity that is God’s family. When we help one of us we help all of us.

Republican’s empty job growth promises….

The very thing the Republicans claim is Obama’s downfall was  orchestrated by them. Republican Senator Mitch McConnell revealed the GOP’s true intent: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
“In midst of the economic meltdown the minority leader of the Senate expressed that  the number one agenda of republicans was to make this a one term presidency and by refusing the pass any bill he sent to congress that would help the country recover, they may succeed at the expense of the country. Congressional republicans we’re going to say no not because we disagree on substance and not because we have historically opposed a point of view but because we want to embarrass and defeat and diminish this president.”
“It’s officially clear to everyone, even the foreign press, that the GOP will do nothing to help the economy,….” the GOP has actively sabotaged job growth.

The Republican Non- job Creation list for sessions of congress in 2011 is in the 80’s.  http://republicanjobcreation.com/  A vote for a Republican is a vote against the American people.

Contrast this concentrated effort to undermine job creation by the Republicans and claim Obama has done nothing for the country, to this:

The first month Obama was in office the American Recovery Act cut taxes for the middle class and put people to work building roads, railways and runways.

We went from losing 700,000 jobs a month to adding over 4.5 million jobs in 29 consecutive months as of August. 
More than 500,000 manufacturing jobs have been created, an increase for the first time since 1990s.

Restructuring the automobile Industry saved more than I million jobs not just at dealerships and auto parts, but in manufacturing all over country.
 
Obama believes and demonstrates that we’re all in this together.

Romney opposed the plan to save the auto Industry, once known as the backbone of the American economy. Romney is in it for Romney.

Foreign Affairs….

Contrary to Romney’s blunders, Obama has done more to re-establish trust and confidence worldwide in an informed, astute, compassionate American President than any president since the ‘90’s.

“He attended the G-20 London summit and later visited U.S. troops in Iraq. On the tour of various European countries following the G-20 summit, he announced in Prague that he intended to negotiate substantial reduction in the world’s nuclear arsenals, en route to their eventual extinction. In October 2009, Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

Our last Republican President, a member of the global elite, who also believed in lining the pockets of the wealthy, was hated universally. The signs and graffiti I saw overseas about Bush and our country were staggering. He destroyed America’s reputation for decency, honesty, intelligence, and generosity.

I could go one forever citing the vast differences in these two candidates. If you want to gamble on America surviving under another Republican whose agenda is the Bush agenda, vote for Romney. I have children and grandchildren that I want to have an American future as the land of opportunity for all citizens, not just the wealthy.
If you still believe the Republican platform, Obama has done nothing for this country, take a look at his Legislation and Executive Orders.

Washington (CNN) — Congress gave final approval Friday to a giant transportation funding bill as part of a package that includes a measure holding down interest rates on federal student loans. Both issues are priorities of President Barack Obama’s, and the legislation demonstrated rare bipartisan agreement in the deeply divided Congress.

Within minutes of taking the Oath of Office on January 20, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, issued an order suspending last-minute federal regulations pushed through by outgoing President George W. Bush, planning to review everything still pending.[32] Due to the economic crisis, the President enacted a pay freeze for Senior White House Staff making more than $100,000 per year,[33] as well as announcing stricter guidelines regarding lobbyists restricting them from financially contributing to his administration and forcing them to stop lobbying while working for him in an effort to raise the ethical standards of the White House.  

[34] He asked for a waiver to his own new rules, however, for the appointments of William Lynn to the position of Deputy Defense Secretary, Jocelyn Frye to the position of director of policy and projects in the Office of the First Lady, and Cecilia Muñoz to the position of director of intergovernmental affairs in the executive office of the president, leading to some criticism of hypocrisy and violation of his pledge for governmental openness.[35][36]

In his first week in office, Obama signed Executive Order 13492 suspending all the ongoing proceedings of Guantanamo military commission and ordering the detention facility to be shut down within the year.[37][38][39] He also signed Executive Order 13491 – Ensuring Lawful Interrogations requiring the Army Field Manual to be used as a guide for terror interrogations, banning torture and other coercive techniques, such as waterboarding.[40] Obama also issued an executive order entitled “Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel”, setting stricter limitations on incoming executive branch employees and placing tighter restrictions on lobbying in the White House.[41] Obama signed two Presidential Memoranda concerning energy independence, ordering the Department of Transportation to establish higher fuel efficiency standards before 2011 models are released and allowing states to raise their emissions standards above the national standard.[42] He also ended the Mexico City Policy, which banned federal grants to international groups that provide abortion services or counseling.[43][44]
In his first week he also established a policy of producing a weekly Saturday morning video address available on whitehouse.gov and YouTube,[45][46][47] much like those released during his transition period.[48][49] The first address had been viewed by 600,000 YouTube viewers by the next afternoon.[50]

The first piece of legislation Obama signed was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 on January 29, which revised the statute of limitations for filing pay discrimination lawsuits. Lilly Ledbetter joined Obama and his wife, Michelle, as he signed the bill, fulfilling his campaign pledge to nullify Ledbetter v. Goodyear.[51] On February 3, he signed the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIP), expanding health care from 7 million children under the plan to 11 million.[52]

After much debate, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was passed by both the House and Senate on February 13, 2009. Originally intended to be a bipartisan bill, the passage of the bill was largely along party lines. No Republicans voted for it in the House, and three moderate Republicans voted for it in the Senate (Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania).[53] The bill combined tax breaks with spending on infrastructure projects, extension of welfare benefits, and education.[54][55] The final cost of the bill was $787 billion, and almost $1.2 trillion with debt service included.[56] Obama signed the Act into law on February 17, 2009, in Denver, Colorado.[57]

On March 9, 2009, Obama lifted restrictions on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research,[58] and in doing so, called into question some of George W. Bush’s signing statements. Obama stated that he too would employ signing statements if he deems upon review that a portion of a bill is unconstitutional,[59][60] and he has issued several signing statements.[61]
Early in his presidency, Obama signed a law raising the tobacco tax 62 cents on a pack of cigarettes.[62] The tax is to be “used to finance a major expansion of health insurance for children”, and “help some [smokers] to quit and persuade young people not to start”.[62]

How dare the Republicans perpetrate the lie that we are no better off than when Obama took office!

So with all the learning and adjusting a President makes in the first few years, all the mistakes he is bound to make and did make, the errors in judgment, with the most devastating and total financial collapse since the Depression, with a Republican congress determined to destroy his presidency, President Obama still managed to accomplish major legislation and executive orders that  have undone much of the damage done by the former incumbents and transformed the landscape the average American citizen is living in substantially. I am grateful and happy to give him another four years to finish the job of restoring America.

Well I certainly got attached to the political arena there last week didn’t I? I apologize for that friends and thank you for your indulgence. We’re here to unite humanity not separate it from some fear based belief. I slipped out of the flow of remembering that divine right order is in place as we move through the greatest evolutionary stage mankind has ever known and the most momentous transformation of sociological economic political and spiritual systems in the history of the world.

As we shift into spiritual awareness and out of attachment to material reality we knew there would be upheavals, startling revelations, and challenging events as we moved into the new phase of equitable treatment for all the inhabitants of our planet and mother earth herself.

Man’s consciousness is becoming adept at deliberately creating beneficial and beneficent conditions through the sheer realization that made in the Image, he is inherently empowered to end nonaligned beliefs and events   by staying focused on divine right outcomes.

As his spiritual perception expands and his states of awareness become more frequent, he spends less time unconscious and more time conscious and intentional about what is taking place within him and around him.

Everything unlike what we are trying to create as a body of one united in spirit, such as compassion, empathy, and a deep commitment to systems that serve every soul created deserving of all good things, must come up to be examined and deleted. We’re acting out mass conscious conditioning and family programs and speaking outmoded paradigms we no longer believe… specifically so we can finish with them once and for all. The goal is to judge ourselves not, lest we be led astray by our own temporarily confused states, but rather continue to be grateful that this error consciousness is being served up for healing. Thank you God.

As we move into this era of positive expectations, peace based upon the innate worth of man, restoration of human dignity, return to our authentic loving selves, equality for all, human functionality, and prosperity across the breathe of life, millions are aligning their conscious intentions with these tenants of God’s original matrix for mankind.

So I am reminded, now that I’ve popped out of my creation of concern about America and returned to higher self that knows the truth He wrote on our hearts, by a quote from the text of my own ‘Make Your Mind Work for You Instead of Against You’ class I’ve been teaching at Unity….

‘Stop reacting to what is going on in your life in the real world…and even in your own mind. Simply let it be just as it is… without the need to fix it, worry about it, create around it, or resolve it.  Withdraw your attention from it so it dissolves by itself from lack of energy from you. Notice it and let it pass by without getting attached to it emotionally. Do not analyze it, figure it out, or personalize it by allowing yourself to connect this current event to one of your stories from the past.’

This is a major key to peace of mind and a heart at peace.
