CONSTITUTION DAY SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2011

On September 17, 1787, the Delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document that they had created. Constitutional Day is an American Federal observance that recognizes the ratification of the United States Constitution.

 In 1952, President Harry S. Truman signed a bill that moved “I am an American Day” from the third Sunday in May to September 17 so that this holiday would coincide with the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Congress renamed the holiday “Citizenship Day.” A joint resolution passed in 1956 requested the President to proclaim the week beginning September 17 and ending September 23 each year as “Constitution Week”.

Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) entered an amendment to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 that changed the name of the September 17 holiday to “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day”. The purpose of “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is to honor and celebrate the privileges and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship for both native-born and naturalized citizens, while commemorating the creation and signing of the supreme law of our land.

 In May 2005, the United States Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds for any kind.

 I encourage all Americans to observe this important day in our nation’s history by attending local events in your area. Celebrate Constitution Day through activities, learning, parades and demonstrations of our Love for the United States of America and the Blessings of Freedom Our Founding Fathers secured for us.

FOUR (4) BIG MISTAKES BY OUR PRESIDENT

June 13th, 2011

Frank Osekowsky

 

BIG LIE #1

“OBAMA INHERIED THIS MESS”

“Bush created all of these problems.  We are trying to solve them but it is much worse than we thought and it will take years for our solutions to have an impact”.

 Fact #1

The number one, most important job of the House of Rep. every year is to create a Federal budget.  When Nancy Pelosi was speaker of the House, they did not create a federal budget. They didn’t even try.  All they did was spend money.

 Fact #2

President Obama increased spending and the size of government more than all previous Presidents (From George Washington to George Bush)-COMBINED.

 The liberal congress created that problem and they should own it.

 BIG LIE #2

“THERE’S NO WAY TO CUT ENOUGH SPENDING. SO WE MUST RAISE THE DEBT CEILING.”

“There’s no way to cut enough spending. So we must raise the debt ceiling. If we don’t raise itAmericawill not be able to pay back its creditors and the rest of the world will never trust us with money again.  It will be a disaster.

The truth is that the spending can be cut quickly and in a large enough amount to avoid blowing past the debt ceiling.

When President Clinton left office over 10 years ago the government was operating with a budget surplus.  The government was much better than it is now.

When President Bush was in office,, the Federal Budget spending climbed and climbed.  Government grew bigger and faster at a alarming rate.

While President Obama has been in office, the government has grown more then it did under all previous Presidents added together.

BIG LIE #3

Members of the Republican “leadership” will tell you this lie.

“Raising the debt ceiling is inevitable; and the democrats want it so badly they’re willing to give us some really great deals in order to get it.  We can take advantage of it and get some cool stuff in exchange for our votes.  It’ll be great!”

Raising the debt ceiling equals ME VOTING FOR YOUR OPPOENT IN THE PRIMARAY AND IN THE GENERAL ELECTION

Raising the debt ceiling is not good for American, no matter what deal you think you’re getting in exchange for it.

 If you want a balanced budget amendment, pass a balanced budget amendment and DON’T raise the debit ceiling.

 If you want big spending cuts, pass big spending cuts and DON’T raise the debt ceiling.

BIG LIE #4

“The intricate financial details of running the entire United States Government are so complicated that the average American just isn’t capable of understanding how it works.  It involves thousands upon thousands of Byzantine and interwoven variables that are so delicately balanced they can be easily disrupted by one false move, setting off a cataclysmic chain reaction of economic disasters that will cripple the world’s monetary system.  Handcuffing congress by not allowing us to raise the debt ceiling just shows how simplistic, unsophisticated, ill informed, and child-like.  Those of us in congress are far better equipped to make these kinds of decision.  So just go back to you daily lives and let us run the country.

Tea party patriots is working hard every day and night and weekend to fight socialism and promote the values of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.  The liberals and the enemies of freedom are fighting just as hard to shut us down.
