Apology to future generations of Americans for Obamacare (1 of 2)

4:18 pm in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

SCOTUS Chief Justice Humpty Dumpty Roberts

(Sorry, I was unable to get this article to all 300 blogs and Social sites that I wanted to before the end of the 4th of July Weekend due to health and other issues)

This 4th of July and 4th of July weekend, our generation celebrates
the inspired bold acts and sacrifices of our Founding Fathers. Their
Declaration of Independence from the tyrannical aristocracy of England
gave rise to our great nation. This same generation of Americans went on
to draft our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

These documents
were based the Principles of Natural Law developed during the
Enlightenment and structured in such a way to attempt to make it
difficult from WE THE PEOPLE from being subjected to unrestrained
tyranny ever again. WE THE PEOPLE became Citizens instead of subjects.
Elected officials would be known as Public Servants, and WE THE PEOPLE
were to be the country’s sovereigns. Those inspired bold acts and
sacrifices along with the brilliantly crafted Constitution and Bill of
Rights bestowed upon WE THE PEOPLE, the freedoms and prosperity we have
enjoyed for 236 years.

At the same time, our Founding Fathers
vigorously warned us of the precarious nature of Liberty. Perhaps that
warning is best remembered in Benjamin Franklin’s words as he was
leaving the Constitutional Convention. In response to being asked “What
type of Government have you given us?” Franklin responded:

A Republic, if you can keep it!

WE
THE PEOPLE should be ever mindful of the precious blood and lives of
the Founding Generation that our Freedoms and Country were the fruit of
lest we forget or betray that generation’s great personal sacrifices.

It
seems fitting, that this Fourth of July, 2012, someone of our
generation should apologize to the future generations of Americans for
our generation failing to heed the Founding generations warnings to be
vigilant in the defense of our liberty. WE THE PEOPLE have not performed
the inspired bold acts nor suffered the hardships nor made the
sacrifices necessary to preserve the prosperity and liberties our
Founding Fathers bestowed upon our own and previous generations of
Americans through their sacrifices in blood and lives.

Some of
this writer’s generation of Americans was willing to trade Liberty for
security. Other Citizens were too busy to be bothered. Still others
wanted just to “go along to get along” so they could just live their own
lives and avoid suffering reprisals for making anyone unhappy with
them. Some were not willing to accept the potential risk and
retaliation for daring to challenge the systemic corruption of our time.
And some of this writer’s generation, including this writer himself,
let others (clandestinely and/or accidently) ineffectively lead and/or
mislead the opposition to Obamacare into the complacency with
suggestions of almost certain victory.
And some, like this writer
himself, simply did not exert the necessary educational and persuasive
effort to prevail.

Before we go further, it is often said that
history is written by the winners. This apology is written from the
perspective of those that lost the fight to prevent socialized medicine
from being inflicted on America.
Through this writing, this writer
hopes to reanimate this generation to act like freemen and demand
freedom, to embrace the rigors of liberty, to cast off the duplicitous
tyranny that has befallen us and re-inhabit the Vision the Founding
Fathers had for this County.

APOLOGY

With
so many of this writer’s generation of writer’s openly professing how
much they love their children and how much they do and would sacrifice
for them, WE THE PEOPLE would be remiss to not take the blame and
apologize to future generations of Americans for inflicting Obamacare
upon them. The wide ranging detrimental effects Obamacare will inflict
on our country and future generations of Americans will be devastating
and irreversible and may well result in the complete and/or effective
demise of the USA as our generation now knows it.

Therefore,
before this writer says anything more, I apologize and accept total
personal responsibility for not working hard enough to educate my fellow
citizens as to why Obamacare will endanger our country, how it will
inflict great harm on future generations of Americans, and why,
therefore, it must not be made law.

However, before we begin with
the reasons and consequences requiring an apology to future generations
of Americans, let’s take a step back. Let us examine possible events
that might negate and/or mitigate the disastrous effects of Obamacare
between the writing of this article and its being read by future
generations.

EVENTS THAT COULD NEGATE AND/OR MITIGAGE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF OBAMACARE

As
the future consequences of Obamacare cannot be known with absolute
certainty, this writer would be remiss if he did not first address
events that could negate and/or mitigate this writer’s posited
consequences of Obamacare.

In Closing:

Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.

Please join with me in mutually pledging to each other and our fellow
citizens our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor to our mutual
endeavors of restoring liberty and economic opportunity to WE THE PEOPLE
as our Founding Fathers envisioned and intended. [Last Paragraph,
Declaration of Independence http://bit.ly/ruPE7z ]

If I were running for President of the USA… Part 1 of 3

11:10 am in Uncategorized by Don Mashak

I sometimes wonder what planet or alternate reality our major media is allegedly reporting on. I listen to the debates, hear the polls and watch the news and just shake my head. I believe that by the time you, the average rank and file citizen, is done reading my agenda, you also will begin shaking your head whenever you hear major media spin its perspective on the politics of our country.

In my humble opinion, the single issue of highest importance to voters this year should be:

“Do you want to be managed and manipulated by the politicians like cattle, trained seals and/or Pavlov’s Dog or; Do you want to be represented like sovereign citizens of the country as the Founding Father’s intended?”

In short, I believe the rallying cry of WE THE PEOPLE should be:

“Hell no! No more status quo!”

As I sit down to write this article, I cannot help but wonder how all persons running for president do not write and publish a similarly intentioned article as one of their first acts in making their bid for president. What better way to set the tone of their campaign? What better way to lay out to WE THE PEOPLE their vision for our country? What better way for a candidate to demonstrate their intent to keep their word? What better way for WE THE PEOPLE and the candidates themselves, to measure their success or failure than by having their vision, promises and pledges reduced to writing? Isn’t this just Common Sense?

Instead, America is subjected to some bizarre political Shivaree. During the course of this dragged out shivaree, the political parties and major media “frame” the election and attempt to convince WE THE PEOPLE that the issues the “powers that be” want us to base our voting decisions upon are, or should be, the most important to the majority of WE THE PEOPLE.

Political Party Questionnaires are generally multiple choice with generic answers and no opportunity to choose “none of the above” or suggest a different priority from those suggested. And then major media follows the lead of the political elite and proceeds to frame the debates and the elections accordingly.

In this format, elections become more a matter of almost subliminal manipulation and management of WE THE PEOPLE with Edward Bernays http://bit.ly/nY9BjWstyle techniques rather than elections reflecting the will and best interests of rank and file Americans. And, in reflection, all of these machinations can be seen to be actually intended to maintain the corrupt, tyrannical status quo.

That having been said, let this candidate suggest that all candidates draft and publish a statement of priorities such as this. If for no other reason than because it well serves the best interest of WE THE PEOPLE, the rank and file sovereign citizens of America and allows us to hold our elected officials accountable. (And imagine how many commercials you would not have to see to determine how to vote if every candidate, followed this candidate’s lead in reducing their vision and priorities to writing)

But if you prefer the current status quo of being manipulated and managed like cattle, trained seals and/or Pavlov’s Dog, stop reading now.


CRITICAL THINKING NOTICE

This candidate advises you as no other politician would dare. Exercise Critical Thinking (http://bit.ly/ubI6ve) in determining the truthfulness of anything you read or hear. Do not passively accept nor believe anything anyone tells you, including this candidate… unless and until you verify it yourself with sources you trust. And then, only after you could actively defend your perspective to anyone who might debate you to the contrary of your perspective.

OVERVIEW


In my administration, the priority will be to protect the 300 million citizens of our country from corrupt elected officials and government bureaucrats, rather than protect a few corrupt elected officials and government bureaucrats from the legitimate grievances of WE THE PEOPLE. In my view, systemic corruption permeates all levels of our government. And it is the cumulative effect of this systemic corruption which has caused the financial and moral bankruptcy we are facing.


I am not running to be popular;

I am not running to the most exciting, most lovable or the most colorful president;

I am not running with an eye toward enjoying the accoutrements of aristocracy;

I am not running with an eye toward personal wealth;

I am not running with an eye toward re-election;

I am running to represent WE THE PEOPLE.


I am running to save our country from collapse, to pursue the long neglected best interests of rank and file Americans and to restore America to its former position as the undisputed cultural, socio-economic, military leader of the world.


AGENDA AND PRIORITIES


As president, I would look to roll back all of those small incremental encroachments of liberty, trespasses of the Rule of Law and expansions of Government Power which are easily obfuscated by the ruling class, but whose cumulative effects are easily recognized when published together in the proper context.

“Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations…”

James Madison – Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution

1) United We Stand;

3) Government Transparency, Accountability and Reform (TAR);

4) Judicial Transparency, Accountability and Reform (TAR);

5) Citizen Anti-Corruption Committee;

6) Race;

12) Legislation must say what it means and not be a potpourri of pork, earmarks and/or unrelated legislation;

13) Line Item Veto

15) Internet – Government Hands off and Libraries;

16) Public Education Reform;

17) Health Care;

18) Expanded Whistleblower Protection for Government inspectors and Subcontractors;

19) Welfare Reform – Negative Income Tax

96) Civil Unions;

97) Abortion;

98) Amnesty and expungement – for all persons with up to 2 non-violent convictions for drug related offenses related to personal use (as defined by the DOJ);

99) Frontiers.


THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

1) UNITED WE STAND

It deeply saddens me to have our elected officials and political parties whip various groups of WE THE PEOPLE into a frenzy against other groups of WE THE PEOPLE. This all for the selfish purpose of dividing and conquering WE THE PEOPLE as part of their strategy to get re-elected and maintain power and control. Worse yet, our elected officials have caused and/or have been unable to resolve most of the difficult issues facing our country. Often the political parties deliberately drag issues out just because they so great a source of campaign contributions.

With this in mind, I begin with the premise that WE THE PEOPLE, the rank and file sovereign citizens of America are more alike than the politicians and political parties would wrongfully have you believe we are different. And with this premise, I would seek to tap into the wellspring of synergy residing in the minds of our country’s some 300 million fellow citizens. Further, in so doing, I would hope to unify WE THE PEOPLE and fundamentally alter the current culture of negativity and non-constructive debate which degrades each citizen’s quality of life.

There is a technique known as Nominal Group Process (NGP) which is used to bring consensus and unity in organizations with discord and acrimony………

Next, it has came to this author’s attention that many local papers will not run letters to the editor, Op Ed pieces and articles that do not conform to the perspective of the local “Powers that be”. If you have a letter to the editor that relates to this article, feel free to post it as a comment, noting that the local news source refused to run it. As long as it conforms with general decorum and is plausible, very rarely will we refuse to publish it. If you have unrelated subject matter and/or video and/or audio that you believe we would be interested in based (based on our prior articles), email it here. Send video/audio in common Internet formats or with Youtube.com links. Do not send video in Public Access TV and/or Cable formats. Our philosophy is that more open public dialogue is better than less public dialogue.
