It wasn't today. It was yesterday. Finally got connected with Citizens United. They have been calling me like crazy for a week. I answered once, and they hung up. Figured the robodialer freaked when I answered and it hung up. Anyway, they had a good time to get a hold of me now. They knew when I would be home. They called again yesterday, and I answered on the second ring. I got the initial spiel from the operator about Citizens United being one of the foremost conservative think-tanks/action committee in the country and she asked if I would listen to President "what's his nuts"(again, my character flaw, I forget people's names when they spout idiocy) about the wonderful thing that they accomplished with their Hillary DVD. I half-heartedly listened to his pitch waiting to get a live person back on the line.
She comes back on after the recording and went into her bit. Asking me if Barack Obama frightened me. I answered "No. No man on this planet frightens me. Does he anger me. Yes. Do I believe he has bad policy. Yes. But no, he doesn't frighten me." She kind of stumbled around a bit trying to quantify my answer into her little "yes" or "no" survey question. She finally says.."uhm..ok, we're currently working on a Barak Obama DVD to expose him and his policies." I said. "Good for you!!!!" And she said can we count on you to donate $100 or $125 to assist us in production and distribution of this video as a token of our appreciation we'll send you a copy of the Hillary DVD.
I said, "I just have one question for you. Are you making a McCain DVD as well?" and there was absolute silence on the other end. I said, "Hello?" And said, "Well no we aren't." And I said then "No, you can't expect any support of any kind from me. I want no part of any Sheeple enterprise." And she said, "What kind of enterprise?" I said, "Sheeple. As in...BAHHHHH BAAAHHHH BAAAHHHH!!!....Tell me who to vote for, because I'm too ignorant and too apathetic to think for myself. If your organization were truly what you claimed at the beginning of your call you'd be making a DVD about the liberal/socialist/marxist tendencies of the Republican candidate as well. But you aren't going to, so I can only surmise that you are in fact a Republican front group that knows absolutely nothing about being conservative. Have a good day."

Today (last night actually) I came to the realization that many "Republicans" don't get it. High gas and oil prices are not just the result of supply and demand - speculation and more so a devalued dollar play a role as well.
Also just because the "entire" economy hasn't had two consecutive quarters of negative growth doesn't mean that certain sectors of the economy aren't in a recession. So to them I say stop telling me there isn't any type of recession going on. And the Republicans (the neo-con ones) are as much a part of the problem as the ones you blame for everything.
Finally I realized that the "safety net" system is abused by people causing those who truly need it at times to be out of luck.
So I guess what I did is realize that my eyes weren't as open as I thought - tough times do that. Which is why I'm more determined than before to "fight" to take this country back - as soon as my house is back in order.
- Remember the true meaning of STAND STRONG applies not just to the politics. It applies to making it through tough economic times that some so-called conservatives refuse to acknowledge is taking place.

Called my reps(Wednesday), and got their lackeys... I told them people were starting a campaign AGAINST them, due to the fact they were not adamantly opposed to the proposed mortgage bailouts. Calling again, and again. I tiold them we are not sheeple, but, We The People. Reminded them to enjoy this term.

Lackeys had little to say, BUT, today Lamar Alexander is all over TN radio talking about how NO bailout ever would require ANY taxpayer money... ;D Bob Corker, is another story, I will be focusing on him. This should be a one term traitor. He is as in love with power and socialism as someone else we know. Called his office again today, and the lackey was bummed. She knows it's me. RELENTLESS.

They can delete emails, but can they block phone calls and get away with it? I think they'd get into serious trouble over that. So, the easiest way is to give in to your demands!

My local talk show host got busted Tues. for being in a pot house and a dime bag in his pocket. Geesh what am I up against?! His co host, Ron Frazier, is doing a partnership with Eric Erickson(RedStates.com 69th most influential consevative in the country). Frazier was a very outspoken supporter of Fred but all here are still suffering "O"prah syndrome and love "O"bama. Maybe this should have been put on a more appropriate thread?!

I wrote this e-mail and sent it to everyone in my address book. It's not much but perhaps it will get some of them thinking. Who to vote for? It appears this year we have a choice between the same old same old with the fresh young black face, or the same old same old with the old white face. Both of these men come from a group,congress, which has a lower approval rating than president Bush. Bush's average approval rating from 6/15-6/29 stood at 29.3%. Perhaps the lowest of any president in the history of our nation. 6/6-6/18 Congress average approval rating stood at 18.5%.(Stats taken from RealClearPolitics.com) This would suggest that our choices are a step down not a step up. It is time for a real change in Washington. It is time to seriously look at something other than the same old democrats or the same old republicans. A place to start is www.Baldwin08.com. I encourage you to look for yourself and see what you think. Get informed, really informed, and vote. It does make a difference. Happy birthday America! God willing, many many more! James R Hawkins Forward if you wish. delete if not.

Oh, I sent that to 60 people the other day. But I did change the name at the bottom. Hope you don't mind.
