We have a candidate here who stands up before you and really doesn't say anything. Why because he wants to keep the truth from us of what he is really intending to do. Here is the problem he wants to increase taxes, but to who? According to Capital Fax.com an exchange between a reporter and Pritzker went like this:
Reporter: What does someone make who is middle class?
Pritzker: Thank you very much.
Reporter: What does someone make who is middle class?
Pritzker: (walking away) Well, we talked about that today.
Reporter: You didn't answer it.
Pritzker: Thank you.
Reporter: Why is that difficult?
Get the drift? When I started this blog I said I was doing it for the future of my children and my grandchildren. Two of those adult children moved out of the state last year and this year. Two young marrieds in our church with young children are leaving Illinois.
These are the kind of people we need here in Illinois. Young working families. Seniors can't carry this state. Kids in high school and college can't carry this state.
What can we do if a man running for office is calling for a graduated income tax that would require a constitutional amendment? Where does the middle class fall? Or some say we don't have a middle class any more or close to it, $50,000 or $100,000.
He says he wants to expand health care, and bridges, invest in higher education but with what?
Democrats have controlled the state , here is the history, we have overspent, over promised and over borrowed. At the end of the spring session they gloated that they have balanced the budget? A budget that has a 130 billion unfunded pension liability. The worst credit rating in the country.
Rauner proposes to cut budgets or reform the tax regulatory landscape to make Illinois more attractive to employers, but instead we raised the state income tax by 32%.
To top it off Pritzker gloats that he has family connections to the cannabis industry, his second cousin Joseph "Joby" Pritzker who is an investor in Pax Labs which sells vaporizers and pods of cannabis. And he gloats about this bringing in tax revenue by changes in the medical marijuana. Even Rauner is relaxing the bill to provide marijuana to be used instead of prescription opioids This eases access for all prospective patients by eliminating requirement for finger prints and background checks. Which would make Illinois one of the largest markets in the country.
Pritzker touts that this would cause legal cannabis to possibly increase an(estimated) $350 million to $700 million in annual taxes from the increased sales of marijuana! Really is our health worth providing more tax increase? Is there anyone out there listening? They still do not really know what marijuana does to our bodies I have a neighbor taking medical marijuana and at time's he doesn't know his name. I insist this is dangerous to our bodies and how many minds are going to be damaged before we see the results of this
What we really need in Illinois is another Mitch Daniels or maybe he himself to come and do the things that he did in INDIANA, and following Daniels in Indiana our current vice -president Pence to come and clean up Illinois. During his tenure, Daniels turned Indiana from a $700 million deficit into a billion-dollar surplus and he balance the budget even during a recession. What this means? There is a way for Illinois to turn around with the right leadership. If others have done it we can too. And maybe we would even get our children back.
God Bless America, even with all our problems, we are still the greatest country on earth. Go out and take your greatest privilege you have and vote.

Sean Casten Presents a False Business Background
Out on the campaign trail and in his T.V. adds Casten presents himself as a clean energy entrepreneur and a successful businessman.
But nothing could be closer to the truth. He says he's an outsider to "bring a common-sense approach to the job" for which he is highly qualified.
However in 2015, Casten was hit by a law suit from an investor in Recycled Energy Development. Casten was the company president and CEO. His company converted emissions from power plants into energy. The lawsuit contained allegations of mismanagement against Casten and his leaders for "baseless accounting manipulation," "inflated salaries," "improperly inflated bonuses," and irresponsible spending."
Casten settled with investors management firm. But preferred interest holders were given their investment plus their interest, common interest investors were not compensated.
Casten denied the allegations given in court saying "Everything that was said there was false. Period."
U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam running against Casten says "Casten is not ready to lead and has not been forthright with voters." "That is a big red flag and it speaks of being entrusted to something. The people who entrusted him with investments found him not to be trustworthy."
The race has national implications. It is viewed by both Republicans and Democrats as crucial to determining control of the house.
George Polk and his company Tulum Management filed the law suit, alleged that Casten manipulated financial results at RED(Recycled Energy Development) "in order to paint an optimistic financial picture that was simply unsupportable." The suit called the family leadership a "reign of error" and more focused on "ego gratification."
The suit was settled out of court. "We sold it under an agreement that every single investor, including Mr.Polk, agreed to because they thought that was an economically good thing to do ." Casten said, "So at the end of the day, I met my obligations to everybody who was out there."
Preferred interest investors received their principal plus 15% annual interest. Common interest holders received little or none of their interest.
Why report this? Because it shows irresponsibility upon Casten in running his business and that his mismanagement was a substantial loss to investors.
In 2000-2007 Casten was president and CEO of Turbosteam, a company that specialized in design and sale of equipment to recover waste energy and turn it into electric power. Turbosteam was a subsidiary of RED Polk's investment firm said in court "it violated the operating agreement by authorizing the inappropriate transfer of funds in May 2012. This was to prop up Turbosteam, which was in the zone of insolvency and facing imminent bankruptcy.
"The overall impact of the Castens mismanagement is substantial" "under all of the assets in the Catens "reign of error" have yielded at least 20% loss in cash flows- and in some cases 80% less cash flow- than originally projected and several- are now inactive and thus effective write offs."
The list of failures are numerous, but all of this proves, Casten is not a good business manger and could be a destructive force in the chair of our government! Leadership is a quality needed to make us feel assured this person can handle the office and be an effective leader as a Representative of the house.
It not only is fearful it is downright scary to put this man in a power position of running our government. In any position, one must prove themselves capable of doing the job. This man does not meet the criteria need and also shows he has a tendency towards dishonesty. Not to forget he is linked to Mike Madigan. Do you want the two on the north side running things?
Sean Casten is not the man for this job He has not proven himself the man who can handle this job. Better to choose a man who has all ready proven himself U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam

Sixty Thousand New Voters Sign Up For November 2018 Election
60,000 votes according to the Cook County Record to increase the 2018 election. These are voters outside of Chicago setting a record to possibly 1.6 million, a record high.
This is not the year to sit back and take it easy!!
Lately I have been disgusted with the my paper. There have been weeks when there were no positive mentions about Republicans or Conservatives. In this once conservative paper there is now bias towards the left over and over.
To my surprises today I opened the paper and at least a Republican was mentioned. Of course, the article is slanted but they at least mentioned Rep. Peter Roskam and a "larger than life -size cardboard cut out of President Donald Trump."
And they actually had a short mention that the Presidents presence "may be especially profound in crucial swing races." Which they probably had a hard time confessing.
Well, they may also be surprised that the vote of the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh actually has rallied the troupes on both sides of the isle.
Rep Peter Roskam won a sixth term in 2016. His opponent, is Democrat Sean Casten.
Roskam has said that Trump and Osama bin Laden "have tremendous amount in common" saying that Casten has a democratic version of Trump in terms of temperament.
Roskas also criticized Casten in using" politics of ridicule," calling Casten comments as " off- putting and jarring.
U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, "So I'm of the view that the 6th district is very discerning. The 6th District has been a ticket-splitting district for a long time. Barack Obama won the old 6th district and I won it. Hillary Clinton won this district in the last cycle and I won it. So I think they've got the ability to distinguish and to make good decisions."
So whatever side you are on, Go Out and Vote! This is no time to sit back and think your candidate will win without your vote!!

Kavanaugh Voted In Causing Uncertainty of the Supreme Court
Kavanaugh taking the place of the more moderate Anthony Kennedy causing conservatives to have a working majority of five justices. Making a possibility of broadening gun rights, and relaxing of campaign finance laws. There is also from the left concern about restriction of abortion rights and to rein in federal regulators.
One of the reasons many evangelicals and conservatives voted for President Trump was his promise to put conservative judges who were Constitutionalist on the U.S. Supreme Court. Who would apply the law as written and enforce the text, structure, and original understanding of the Constitution.
It seems as though Judge Brett Kavanaugh is such a judge based upon over 300 published opinions he has written.
He has demonstrated respect for the people threatened by government over-reach over and over again, and often rejected attempts by the federal government to impose onerous regulations on private citizens.
Judge Kavanaugh, {now a Supreme Court Justice} has proven himself to be a leader among his peers on the appellate courts and proven to be deeply respected by the members of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has endorsed his opinions more than a dozen times,including his dissents, which have become the law of the land. His opinions are regularly cited by courts across the country.
Together with Justice Gorsuch and others, he has co-authored The Law of Judicial Precedent, a lengthy treatises on the importance of stare decisis {legal precedent}. He has devoted his life to public service, and has spent 25 of his 28 years serving the American people as an
Associate Independent Counsel, Associated White House Counsel, Assistant and Staff Secretary to George Bush, and as a judge.
Judge Kavanaugh once wrote "The Judges job is to interpret the law, not to make the law or to make policy. To read the words of the statue as written. Read the text of the Constitution as written, mindful of history and tradition. Do not make up new constitutional rights that are not in the text of the Constitution. Don't shy away from enforcing constitutional rights that are in the text of the Constitution".
The direction of the Supreme Court will determine the direction of our nation for the next 15-20 years.
President Trump has done a tremendous job of appointing judges who will uphold the constitution at all levels in the court.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh Receives Standing Ovation For Nomination To The Supreme Court
Leonard Leo, vice president of the conservative Federalist Society, is responsible for putting several people on the Supreme Court. And may once again help to put another conservative on board the nations highest court.
Leo is a long time friend of Clarence Thomas and helped promote Republican appointees Justice Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch.
With a standing ovation President Trump announced the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, 53, who has been on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals since 2006.
"Trump announced from his campaign he would choose nominees from two lists which had 20 Judges and lawyers. Then he added a third list with five more. Trump had three criteria. People who were extraordinarily well-qualified. People who were not weak. And he wanted people who would interpret the Constitution as framers meant it to be." Leo said.
Of course what is running through the progressives minds is the reversal of Roe V Wade.
In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash about his view of abortion being discontinued Vice - President Mike Pence said ""Well, I do, but I haven't been nominated to the supreme court, Judge Kavanaugh has." "I'm pro-life, and I don't apologize for it." Pence continued, "I'm proud to be part of a pro-life administration that's advanced pro-life policies." "But what I can assure you is that what the president was looking for here was a nominee who will respect the Constitution as written, who will uphold the Constitution and all of his interpretations of the law."
To which I say a hardy "AMEN" that we cling to the Constitution as written by our forefather's!!

ERA Passes Out Of House Committee
Wednesday morning , May 16, the Equal Rights Amendment {SJRCA 4} passed out of House Human /services /committee in a vote 7-5. The amendment is now on the floor of the house. You say, how does the effect me? What is of importance to me and how does it affect us?
Tuesday afternoon, May 15, Rep Lou Lang, sponsor of the resolution did not have enough votes because one democratic member decided she could not support the resolution. So he replaced her with a substitute. But we are not out of the woods.
People are promoting the resolution and are setting up phone banks and calling legislators. Only the pro life legislators realize the seriousness of this bill. If passed the resolution will cause NO LIMITS on ABORTION across the nation, and could require TAX-PAYER funding for abortion all across the nation.
Some Republican legislators who always vote pro-life , have been convinced that the ERA will not have any impact on abortion, so they are planning to vote for the resolution.
Congressman Henry Hyde, well known constitutional scholar, testified against the ERA, in the US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution{May 26, 1983}, "if it is proposed and ratified without an explicit provision against it's use as a pro- abortion device, will, in fact, be used to sweep away the minimal protection of unborn children that the courts currently allow, and also to mandate TAX FUNDING for abortions."
"The court holds have denied the constitutional right to a Government-financed abortion on the grounds that poor women who desire abortions are not within the so-called suspects classes against whom no law can discriminate without triggering strict scrutiny by the courts." {Strict scrutiny is the most stringent standard used by the courts to determine which is weightier-a constitutional right or the governments interest in overcoming the right.}
Strict scrutiny almost always results in the law being struck down as unconstitutional. If either sex or poverty had been designated by the court as a suspect classification, the Court as a suspect classification have found a right to abortion funding.
"Since 1970 the ERA advocates have emphasized that the amendment's principal legal effect would be to make sex a suspect classification under the Constitution the most important suspect classification at present is race. If sex discrimination were treated like race discrimination, Government refusal to fund abortions would be treated like a refusal to fund medical procedures that effect minority races."
Congressman Henry Hyde continues to say"If the Federal ERA were ratified there would be no need to for silence or evasion, so we would see ALL LAWS regulating abortion challenged vigorously on the argument that they are unconstitutional discrimination's against women.
It would be tragic if legislators who wish to minimize the killing of pre-born children were to give lawyers and pro-abortion judges a new and powerful tool with which to enhance and extend the abortion right , especially by mandating the use of TAX FUNDS to pay for abortions."
PLEASE contact your state representatives and ask him or her to vote NO on the ERA {SJRCA 4}.

Donald Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
The President's new bill is called the Tax cuts and Jobs Act. The new Tax Reform Bill will create an overhaul of 1.4 Trillion dollars.The vote 51-49 will create massive tax cuts for families and businesses alike.Mitch McConnell gets a big praise from the president along with Sen Orren Hatch.
The President "A vote to cut taxes is a vote to put America first. It's time to take care of our workers, to protect our communities, and to rebuild our great country" President Donald
Trump
Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif responded calling the legislation a "betrayal of the American Middle class" Guess you don't get it Nancy and never will. Giving the middle class tax cuts opens the doors of Corporations and Businesses alike to build their business's and hire new people.
Families also getting a break by nearly doubling the standard deduction to 12,000 for individuals (up from 6,350) and 24,000 for couples (up from 12,700)
Corporate tax rate will be cut 35% to 21%. Please Nancy, don't pretend you have never passed a tax you didn't like!The bill keeps the seven brackets which starts at 10%, and rises to 12%,22%.24%, 32%. 35% and 37% who exceed the 500,000 income. Lowering the the rate from 39.6%.
And good for Illinois, if you own a home here you can claim your 4,264 per year Mortgage Reduction
For families, taxpayers claim 2,000 for each child under 17.
This tax bill is a welcome, and a long a waited relief for the families and companies of our country. Now longer will we be putting a heavy weight on those who are trying to build our country and supply jobs.

32% Tax Increase For Illinois - Illinois Pays The Highest Property Tax In The Nation
Legislators are proud they came up with a "balanced" budget for the state of Illinois by increasing taxes. Governor Rauner vetoed the tax increase because it was a 32% tax increase with no real reforms. However legislators have trouble with math are telling constituents that the tax increase was only 1.2%-an increase from 3.76% to 4.95%.
I have spoken to several area residents and they have no clue how much this increase really is. An average family in Illinois will have a tax increase of $1,150. In the final vote 10 Republicans in the House supported the tax increase, and one republican in the Senate. Originally when the tax increase first passed 15 House Republicans, voted for it. One was out of town for the veto override, and four pulled off the vote by Governor Rauner. To be sure, Speaker Madigan made up for the missing Republican votes by adding more Democratic votes for the final passage.
The problem being, Speaker Madigan, evidently you don't understand the law of economics, you need money in the till to support the vote. Most Illinois citizens don't get the drift of the problem, even with a tax increase, the budget will be unsustainable because of uncontrolled pension costs.
One of the major flaws in the new budget is the requirement that Illinois public education moves to an "evidence based' model of school funding. This program will prescribe exactly how much money must be spent on "everything" from instructional materials to employee benefits!
This new budget WILL INCREASE the costs of education for Illinois schools an eventual estimated $3.5 to $6 Billion in tax-payer funding. Where, Speaker Madigan do you suppose that money is gong to come from?
We are already 13th in the nation in the amount of money spent per student. Ohio, North Dakota, Arkansas, and Wyoming have "evidence-based" funding and have collectively spent billions more in tax dollars. In these states they see no improvement in achievement tests and achievement levels have been flat.
Increasing income "input" into the existing establishment will not solve Illinois education problems. Illinois citizens already pay the highest property taxes in the nation, and should not have to spend more on education. To partly solve this problem, there must be pension reform and limits to executive pay to the bureaucracies in Illinois schools.

"Can The Tax Coalition" Fight For Unfair Beverage Tax
"Just because a judge has allowed this unfair tax to go forward does not mean Cook County should do it."
"This tax hits families, Cook County families with enormous price increases, place at risk 6,100 middle class jobs, harm 1.3 billion in economic activity, and will devastate our small businesses by sending shoppers to stores over the borders."
"Can The Tax Coalition"
A new tax has been voted by the Cook County Commission in Illinois. It can include up to 1,000 juice drinks, sports drinks, flavored water, iced tea, lemonade, and even diet drinks. I say even diet drinks because the law was to tax sugared products only.
The tax will hurt sales as people are refusing the tax which will range from 30% to 70% above the average cost of their drink. A two litter bottle of clear liquid drink which normally runs 99 cents can have a 67 cent tax on it.
Can The Tax Coalition calls for a repeal of the Tax before it causes a fall of the economy and loss of jobs.
Many stores are already returning the products to the companies they came from because of products are not moving on the shelves.
My feeling is how can the government stop us from buying what we want to buy in a store? Are they not overstepping their authority and taxing something they have no business taxing as most items in a store are already taxed once. Does not this open Pandora's box for the government to make a second tax on anything they want to tax?
This is still America and the government is choosing for us what we should buy and not to buy. The last time I checked this is not Russia and people can buy what they want to buy and should not be hindered by a large tax on what they want.
I am in agreement, the law needs to be repealed and taken away before it causes economic downfall. It's a bad tax and needs to be removed before it harms sales in Cook County

"Political Rhetorical Terrorism" - Heated Rhetoric On Social Media And In The News
Rep Rodney Davis, R-Ill said "Wednesday's Shooting, in which House Majority Whip Steve Scalise
and several others were wounded - This was the result of "political rhetorical terrorism," that has to stop."
Davis was at bat when shot in Alexandria. He said he credited his security detail with helping prevent the attack from being a lot worse, calling the officers "true heroes"
Sen flake "We dove into the dugout. The shots were fired for at least 10 minutes"
Sen Paul "without the capital Hill police, it would have been a massacre.
James Hodgkinson, 66 years old, went on a rampage to apparently try to kill as many as possible. Is this the way to solve our political problems?
A call from both Ryan and Pelose had the same ring there must be more unity in congress.
Never before in my lifetime have I heard such hated language made against a President. Never also have I seen so many lies told about a president. There must be some kind of working together to get the country back on it's feet. Jobs and the economy must be our most important issue at this time.
This rhetoric is out of hand and can we expect anything less than what has happened? We have had months of division and critical talk even on our major news channels against this president. How can this country make a come back if this is all there is on the news every night. The political realm has to curb down and have some decency and respect for this office. We are still the greatest country on this earth but we won't be if we don't channel our thoughts to better things and better times ahead for us. A country divided can not function nor can we have our congress working together if there is fighting and rancor on the floor of the congress.
I like what our President said this morning "Everyone who serves in the capital are here because we love our country."
Our prayers for those who suffered harm this morning. Especially remember Matt Mika a volunteer worker and is in serious condition.
and several others were wounded - This was the result of "political rhetorical terrorism," that has to stop."

James Hodgkinson, 66 years old, went on a rampage to apparently try to kill as many as possible. Is this the way to solve our political problems?
A call from both Ryan and Pelose had the same ring there must be more unity in congress.
Never before in my lifetime have I heard such hated language made against a President. Never also have I seen so many lies told about a president. There must be some kind of working together to get the country back on it's feet. Jobs and the economy must be our most important issue at this time.
This rhetoric is out of hand and can we expect anything less than what has happened? We have had months of division and critical talk even on our major news channels against this president. How can this country make a come back if this is all there is on the news every night. The political realm has to curb down and have some decency and respect for this office. We are still the greatest country on this earth but we won't be if we don't channel our thoughts to better things and better times ahead for us. A country divided can not function nor can we have our congress working together if there is fighting and rancor on the floor of the congress.
I like what our President said this morning "Everyone who serves in the capital are here because we love our country."
Our prayers for those who suffered harm this morning. Especially remember Matt Mika a volunteer worker and is in serious condition.

Where Our Country Would Now Be Headed Under Hillary
Under Hillary we would be headed in the same direction Obama has taken us. Right now corporations are paying 44% on taxes. Hillary would have increased that in trying to find funds to increase revenue for entitlements. President-elect Trump is lowering that to 33% taxes on corporations, loosening the bind put upon them by our government. Once in place this will be an incentive for corporations to hire and increase productivity, and to aid in purchasing more goods they need to build their businesses.
Knowing his end is near Obama wants to place a federal regulation baring states from defunding Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. Announced the Friday before Labor Day the HHS rule would bar states from denying Planned Parenthood millions of dollars in Title X family planning funds.
Since 2011, 13 states placed restriction on sub-awards with specific types of providers. "We've known all along that the Obama administration will go to untold lengths to protect it's friends in the big abortion industry." Congresswoman Diane Black R-TN. "After all this administration has used back door maneuvers to line Planned Parenthood's pockets with Obama Care navigator grants and praised the abortion providers 'high ethical standard' even after it was caught trafficking in baby body parts".
Now they have taken the unprecedented step of thwarting states rights with a shady proposed rule change that prevents states from funding the providers who will best serve their citizens.
Look for other moves from the Obama administration in it's last days to pass rules and funds underhandedly to their friends in high places. He no longer has Hillary to count on. But there are still many out there he can count on.

Hillary Wishes Trump To Be Successful
Tim Kaine, Hillary's running mate speaks for Hillary on her building of her team. Hillary's supporters are hurting as most supporters would be after such a hard fought election. Hillary's theme was empowering families and children. Hillary speaks and there are tears in her eyes, the glass ceiling is not broken. Hillary first words are "I hope he will be successful." She speaks of the painfulness of the loss. "Our country is more divided that we thought" she says.
I write these words because one of our biggest concerns should be about the division in our country. We need a healing in our country. How can our country continue without the lessening of these divisions. Our country needs and must start functioning together. The old adage "United we stand and divided we fall remains true." There needs to be a coming together. Are we not One Nation Under God?
Our country is on it's knees. We are broke, we are out of work, we are suffering as we have never suffered in this generation before. It is time for us to come together.
Last night I liked Trumps humility. I liked his message. He won because the people felt a need for change. He won the hearts of the people by a message no one else had. He saw the need.
We need to rebuild relationships once again with foreign countries, even Putin sent a message to meet with Trump. And we can never forget our friends in Israel.
This is my hope for America, To be once again the America we have come to know and love. To become a leader in manufacturing and also world trade. To become the America where it is safe for children to run and play. There is a big job ahead and our future depends on it. To make America the America we once were.
God Bless America

Hillary's America - To Remove The Sins Of A Corporate World
Hillary has not spoken about her theory of a "vast right wing conspiracy." This concept came from a youth minister who came to her church. Not only did he teach about a group of people who were perceived as the enemies of progressives, he opened her eyes to a larger sphere. Even a world where atheist's denied the "existence of God." He believed in a Christianity that taught major fallacies. He brought forth a much purer form of religion, that of a man named Karl Marx. For two years he indoctrinated his pupils and Hillary soaked it in.
Hillary believes in the sins of corporations need to be cleansed by the government. That corporations should be run by the government. That profits from those businesses must be given to the people. She has clearly stated this in her campaign speeches. She also believes in a Marxist teaching in a government that raises the children.
Along with corporations she believes private businesses should be controlled by the government. She will be Obama's equal in that while he went after medicine she will go after business. She clearly explained at the Convention that she would use the Supreme Court to write laws to tax the corporations. To do this means serious changes in or American system.
These teachings that lie within her are early Marxist teachings against a free Enterprise system the was taught needs reform even to the point of revolution.
Hillary's America will resemble nothing to the America we Love and Respect.

Robin Hood Hillary's America
Beware of an America with Robin Hood Hillary as head. The supreme court would fall into the hands of the progressives. Hillary says she will have this court to write laws. This is a way she could get around the process in congress. Guess she doesn't know there is three parts to our government. She will write laws concerning corporations. Like Obama went after medicine, she will go after the corporations. She says she will take the profits of the corporations and give the money to entitlements. Robin Hood Hillary will take from the rich and give to the poor. Problem is Hillary, after 8 years with Obama many of our corporations are fighting to stay alive. In fact Hillary with your zeal to go after the corporations you could wipe out some businesses and the surplus they needed for the new year will now have been taken to grow their company.
Guess we don't learn our lessons very well. In 1948 Roosevelt tried the same thing. He took the corporation's profits, to help his New Deal. What happened? It plunged our country into the worst depression we have seen so far. With our economy deep in debt could she plunge us even deeper? Is this the future picture of Robin Hood Hillary's America.
Government take over of medicine has crippled our medical system. And now the dragon fly will dip into her Obama Koolaid and take over our private businesses that people have spent their lifetime and money to build.
Both Medicine and businesses need to be left free to operate on their own. Over regulating our business's has brought us to where we are. A simple definition of socialism is the government take over of business. Yet every time it is tried it has failed.
Capitalism is what has built this great nation. We must not let Robin Hood Hillary's socialistic ideas take over this country.

Hillary Calls for Christians To Give Up On Abortion
Yes, Hillary calls upon Christians to give up on abortions. After all, in her thinking she is going to win and we don't have to worry anymore about these troublesome Christians fighting for right to life. But I really wonder Hillary would you have wanted Chelsea to give up your granddaughter? Or do these rules apply to others but not yours? We have been at the present on a average of 1,000,000 abortions a year. It is estimated that about 34 million babies have been given no right to come here since Roe Vs. Wade. We have taken away a generation of people. A generation that could now be working and paying into Social Security. A generation that never rode a bicycle, flew a kite, or saw a sunset. Even though there is an alternative, women could go to safe housing until their children are born and giving the mother a right to keeping her child or adoption.
The progressives are even calling for abortions to be done until birth, The time we call them in our society a person. Forgetting that they are people at the time of conception according to our heavenly Father. And even some calling for a time when children can be taken up to 2 years of birth.
This woman who wants to break the ceiling is not the person people realize. She has fallen into the hands of the far left. The only way to stop her is not to vote for her. And to not fall into this group of people who have no respect for life. The most precious thing God has given us is life.

A Heavy Stone Is On Our Back
I will give credit to Hillary for becoming the first woman to receive the nomination for the Democratic party for the presidency.
However, our country is in pretty bad shape. If you think it can't any worse, it will under Hillary.
Right now people are working two jobs and still have trouble making it. Our economy after 8 years under Obama is ready to break. Corporations are loosing stores. We have cut back on workers and payrolls have reached their limits.
We have an 800 billion dollar trade deficit. It is as if a heavy stone was on our back. We are a nation steeped in debt.
The real question is how much Obama's Kool aid has Hillary swallowed. In other words how much is she going to follow his example.
If you will remember at first the Clinton's were far removed from Obama. President Clinton even at times showing destain for him. And now they are bosom buddies?
Under Obama problems have over whelmed our country. Last night, at 12:00 midnight a mother of two, a two year old and a five year old, was shot and killed in the city of Chicago. This is tragic and yet it continues almost on a regular basis. The five year's old birthday is today. But the little one has no mother today. Chicago has become a nightmare of killings and shootings, even by the police.
Many fear Hillary, by some of the things she has said, will remove all guns away to try to solve the problem. However, the bad one's will still have the guns.
We have executive orders that were made for laws already made, not to make new laws. The Supreme Court is even making laws.
It is as though the country has become the law in itself. Like the Bible said, "Each man did that which was right in his own eyes."
With all this going on a woman said at the convention yesterday We are so thankful for all the President has done???

Not Voting For Donald Trump Is A Yes Vote For Hillary
My apologies for not writing. I have been ill for many months. I will try to keep writing until the election.
Where to start? The most important - The Republicans have chosen a candidate in whom they feel is the best for our time.
I understand this is not everyone's choice. But, here is what I feel, not voting for Trump will be a yes vote for Hillary. My question is can we take another four more years of a continuation of the Obama Doctrines?
Bernie Saunders said something yesterday that that scares me and I hope you agree also "We have put together the most progressive platform of the Democratic Party" Which means Hillary may go even further left than Obama. When Bernie mentioned Hillary's name last night there were many boos from his followers. Bernie has now created something he now can do nothing about. And don't fool yourselves he has been instructing them about socialism. Bernie is fooling you when he uses the word democracy. He teaches that this kind of socialism is different than the kind your parents know. He is a true socialist.
Secondly, we will not only be getting Hillary we will have Bill to contend with also. This will become a dual presidency. They have been waiting patiently to get back in the White House. In 2012, Bill was pressing Hillary to run against Obama. For weeks they argued and Hillary stood her ground. She would not run against Obama. But, there is nothing to hold her back now!!
Using the glass ceiling as one of her reasons for running she has fooled many women. In speaking with them, they have told me it is a woman's turn for the White House.
However, in questioning them, many have no other reason to vote for her. In fact they know nothing about her and her underhanded ways. It is not enough to vote for someone just because you want a woman in the presidency. One must learn about the candidate and what they stand for.
Hillary is cunning, deceitful, and down right crooked. We used to call her husband the Teflon kid and she has been taking notes.
You think the Obama years have been oppressive just wait for Hillary. She and Bill are two of a kind!!

Pope Francis says Trump "Is Not Christian"
Trumps response - "The Pope will wish I was President if ISIS attacks." The Pope was responding to Trump's calling for deportation of undocumented immigrants and pledges to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. Pope Francis urged the United States to address the "humantarian crises" on it's southern border.
What the Pope needs to understand we have a crisis here in America of people being denied benefits simply because we cannot afford to feed all these people here in the states needing help. Here in Chicago we have people waiting to get food stamps since the middle of December to be reinstated for their food stamps they have been receiving.
American's cannot keep feeding, schooling, and providing medical help for people who are here illegally. An old saying the buck stops here and literally we are reaching a point where we are out of provision even to take care of our own.
Trump also adds - the government in Mexico, has made many disparaging remarks about me to the Pope.
The reality is American's are beginning to ask why are we helping all these countries when we are a bankrupt government. Where is this money coming from? I think the world thinks we are the food basket of the world. But we are struggling like everyone else. It's not that we don't care, but we have to be more realistic on how much more we can do. And Trump is just calling out that we have to be more realistic about how much can we do.
We have to protect the homeland first. Our people are struggling and we must concern ourselves with taking care of our own.

One Thing I Agree With Trump - Building The Wall
Since 1980 we have talked about building this wall. This wall that has become almost a joke in that a chain link fence obviously does not work. Because they break through and it is literally sewn together. Even with the wall being held by cameras they still get through. Nothing seems to work. But have you ever seen the wall Israel built? It is massive and holds the enemy back. Many people told Israel don't build the wall, but they would not listen. They needed security for their country.
The kind of security we need. Our porous border is open to all kinds of people coming through including ISIS. People who get here live off the system, we feed their children, pay for schooling and even health care. It takes jobs from our own people.It's literally breaking our backs to keep letting these people in.
This is where Israel's example really shines through. Once the wall was built their country was more secure, even children could get on school buses without living in fear.
It stabilized their country, and gave them control they needed.
We are out of control stopping people from coming through. Once Israel's wall was built
the bloodshed ceased, not all but it is now much safer in Israel.
We are open to attacks, they haven't happened yet but is is coming. It is believed there are over 100 ISIS cells in America.
We could get a better handle on our economy, and not have this constant undertow pulling us under, submitting us to terrorists and other enemies coming in.
The time is now to build the wall and secure our borders. All the candidates should be supporting this. Whoever wins this is a must for our country's security and growth.

Paul Ryan - "An Agenda Founded in our Founding Priciples"
Paul Ryan spoke with Meet the Press host on compromises he has met to reach across the isle. We must fight for our principles and yet we need to find common ground to base compromises. In the past few months we have passed more things than in 40 years. The house has passed a spending bill to advance republican priorities.
Paul Ryan - "we need an agenda rooted in our founding principles."
" I want to make sure that we have an agenda that we take to the American people that is rooted in our founding principles, that is what conservatives believe to give the country a clear choice. That's what we're excited and looking forward to in 2016. And so, I really don't think about or pay attention to various criticisms that you are going to have. No matter what you do in this job, you're going to get criticized. The question is, are you keeping your principles intact? Are you advancing ideas that make a difference in peoples lives. And in 2016, are you going to be giving American's a choice so the people of this country get to decide what kind of country we are going to have. If we just do nothing, if we just become an opposition party only, then we will not give the people of this country the choice they deserve. That's why I know we're going to go on offence in 2016 and I am looking forward to doing that.
During this interview the host kept trying to draw Ryan off onto what he felt about Trump and other issues of criticisms about Ryan, but Ryan kept to the point and where he wants to take the country as far as keeping to our republican principles. Do these principles make a difference and will they help the country? Think about where this President has lead us into left wing ideas and think about how much this country has suffered under his leadership. The President has lead a far left agenda and that is all that is important to him. It has cost us jobs. It has cost us self esteem. He wants to lead us into socialism and that leads us adrift of what built this country in the first place. What built America? Capitalism and manufacturing. These are two things we need to get back on track. We need to start making things again and building our trade to other countries. That is what is needed to get back into driving our economy forward.
We need strong leadership with people who have a vision for America. The kind of America that made us proud to be an American. Don't let the left confuse you. They want change in another direction, a direction that binds free enterprise and tangles us in the ropes of larger government with more control over us. In a sense we need to be untangled and left to build our own futures with hope and dreams of making our own products and inventions.
I like what Ryan says, we need to get away from just being an opposition party. We need to give clear choices, that make differences in peoples lives. So we the people decide what kind of country we want to have. To be a country again of focus on freedom and to the the persuit of happiness, and give them the choice's they deserve.
