Another email

Sent to all three CONgresscritters:
++++++++++++++++++
I urge you to get behind an in-depth investigation into the fraud evident in "climate change" research, and into the special interests such as Al Gore and T. Boone Pickens who stand to profit from legislation attempting to "fix" the non-existent problem.

Environmental activists need to be heard, but their comments taken with a large grain of salt.

Legislation, if absolutely necessary, should be based on proven, peer-reviewed science, not on panic and doomsaying.

Getting sick of Comcast

I don't have Comcast - but I've got a bunch of contacts I can't talk to who DO have them.

Comcast considers me to be a spammer, simply because I host my own email. It's a secure server on a fixed IP. I've sent them numerous requests to their customer service web site, with never a reply. Their "un-blacklist" URL is http://www.comcastsupport.com/rbl

Here's the latest one I sent them:
++++++++++++++++++
You guys are preventing me from communicating with friends and customers because I run my own email server on my own machine. This has been going on for literal years, and I've requested you fix this situation numerous times.

I've implemented security on both incoming and outgoing email now - it makes no difference.

Occasionally, an email I send gets through your system, then subsequent emails get bounces. Please get your act together!

More senator emails

For what it's worth:
+++++++++++++++++++++
Enough is enough.

Vote NO on ANY new spending bill, be it health care "reform", "climate change", or putting up a monument to Mr. Obama. Or ANYTHING. Particularly, no more bailouts of entities "too big to fail". Mr. Obama, after advocating the bankrupting of our country, has said he wants no more spending. Listen to him - this time.

No more spending until you guys have eliminated ALL the extra-Constitutional spending already being done by the hundreds of un-accountable bureaucracies already in place.

NO MORE SPENDING.

Get it?

Thanks.
+++++++++++++++++++++

Chuck

Sent to Kohl and Feingold...

More wastage of my time?
++++++++++++++++++++++
It's in your court now.

Our House of "Representatives" voted to pass this remarkably complex, certainly un-Constitutional, bill without giving the taxpayers of America a chance to see what is in it - indeed, they passed it without themselves knowing what it contained. There was never enough time for them to read the bill, let alone understand it. They voted on a "pig in a poke", which they want to make the people of the US accept on their uninformed word.

Therefore, it is your duty as one of the last people between this abomination and certain signature by our President and its' being inflicted on us.

Vote NO if this comes up for a vote. If you don't, you have proven to the people of Wisconsin that you have no concern at all for their welfare, freedoms, or futures - only for control over them.

Vote NO on ObamaCare - I mean - PelosiCare. I insist.
++++++++++++++++++++++

Tammy Gay oversteps the line, yet again.

Another futile rant aimed at my favorite gay representative:

++++++++++++++++++++++
OK, Tammy.

I had my suspicions that you did not give a freaking damn about the people you supposedly represent. Now you have proven that premise beyond any possible doubt.

First, you refused to attend true open talk sessions where the taxpayers you defecate on regularly could have told you to your face that they DID NOT want the stuff you insist on stuffing down our throats. You did this because you knew damn well what the result would be, and you were scared that you might have to confront their justified anger. Coward.

Next, you support the most radical, most insane "speaker of the house" that this country has ever seen, in voting to pass a "health care" reform bill that could not possibly have been read and understood by any single member of the House, let alone you or even your staffers. This is an act of treason against your constituents, even if it was not technically an act of treason against the United States. Morally, you are as guilty as any of the Muslim nut cases who blow themselves up to attempt to "change" the world. Simply an act of calculated malice, or pure stupidity. Somehow, I don't see you as a stupid person.

The "health care" bill will force American taxpayers to foot the bill for:

1. Care for illegal immigrants. Yes, I said "illegal". I know how desperately the Democratic Party needs to import loyal voters and will do anything to ensure that American taxpayers will never be able to defeat their plans for a World Soviet. Well, we will see how well that worked next year, won't we?

2. The American taxpayer will end up paying for the "medically necessary" abortions for thousands of women who were brought up to believe "it's a choice, not a child". Pure evil. And I am not even a "right to life" supporter. I just object to the blatant forcing of rules that a clear majority of taxpaying Americans detest.

3. The American taxpayer will be forced to purchase "health insurance" at prices that will ensure inability of millions of young families to ever save any money for anything. Of course, those who cannot pay - i.e., those who will not work, will get their insurance paid for by those who DO work. If you haven't noticed, the Thirteenth Amendment to our Constitution, an amendment the Democrats of the day fought tooth and nail, prohibits slavery. Of course, with the enactment of the Sixteenth Amendment, you managed to give yourselves an "out" - it's just a "tax", not slavery. Politicians are very good at twisting language, even if useless for any reasonable purpose on this planet.

4. Due to bureaucracy, health care costs will rise. It's a law of nature. There is only so much true value in our economy, and the actions of Congress in the last few years have ensured that our economy will drop to levels that people in the Great Depression would have seen as horrible by comparison. This WILL result in rationing of health care, and "death panels" no matter what cute name or acronym the clerks come up with. Medical research will suffer, and millions of Americans, and even illegals "enjoying" our largess will suffer poor care and needless death and illness as a result. By this vote, you condemn our country to a future many in "third world" countries would consider poverty.

I am sure that I could find much more to rail against, but since I am sure that you personally will never read these words, I will be satisfied in telling you - or more likely, the staffer who might actually read this, that I will be doing everything in my power to ensure that you become a member of the largest growing class of Americans - the unemployed.

I won't wish you actual ill, as that's not my way - but I am sure that thousands of Wisconsin taxpayers will do so very soon. Enjoy that thought.

++++++++++++++++++++++

OK, I actually tried to send that to Tammy Gay - but her website requires that you type in a security code. Every variation on the five-number "code" was rejected by the program. What a clever way to prevent even useless attempts at communication! She can now honestly claim that she never heard a bad word against her policies, since the website never forwarded the message.

I've got to wonder if that was a conscious decision on her part or by one of her minions, or just poor code design.

Anyway, it's war, now. I'm bringing the biggest guns I can out to fight for her removal from office. So, actually, business as usual here.

Yet another attempt to control my employee...

Another possibly Quixotic attempt to control the out-of-control:
++++++++++++++++++++
Ms. Baldwin:

Unless you have PERSONALLY read every word of this bill, and understood the impact on your constituents, and are PERSONALLY assured that this bill is both in the best interests of the taxpaying voters from your district. and also in accordance with their publicly stated wishes, I expect you to do the honorable and correct thing - vote NO on any attempt to federalize heath care.

If you vote for this bill without reading it, or worse, on the recommendation of a staffer or, God forbid, Nancy Pelosi's word, you madam, are a traitor to the people who you represent.

I personally insist that you vote NO.

Vote your conscience, but be aware that we, your employers, are watching.

Scary stuff

Paranoia? Maybe - but Osama HAS declared a national emergency:





Be on your toes...

Question to my local paper

I just emailed this to the Beloit Daily News. A recent headline said the City of Beloit was needing to deal with the BIA before being allowed to build a casino.
++++++++++++++++++
Someone please explain to me why the City of Beloit needs to beg permission from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs, or anyone in Washington DC before entering in to a contract with anyone to build a casino in Beloit? If there's any permission to be asked, I would expect it to be at the state level at the most, unless the property is not in the city limits, in which case the town or county might get involved.

Another thing - why is there even such a critter as a "Bureau of Indian Affairs" in this day and age? Are Native Americans so naive and stupid that they need the Great White Father to make sure they don't get a bad deal?

Just wondering...
++++++++++++++++++

What ever happened to state's rights - and when did Native Americans need to get federal permission to enter inot business contracts?

Chilling climate change video

In case you need a better reason to oppose "climate change" legislation besides it's right up there with astrology and Osama worship for sanity, check this out:



Found this at http://www.globalclimatescam.com/ There's a link to a petition to be sent to your Congresscritters and to The One hisself.

Book recommendation

Just finished Matthew Bracken's "Foreign Enemies and Traitors" - the third installment of his "Enemies" trilogy, which includes "Enemies, Foreign and Domestic" and "Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista". See the link on the left.

Frightening images of an all-too possible future, with stirring portrayals of human courage and honor, and a thinly veiled description of current affairs that had me chuckling out loud at times.

Read them all - keep your powder dry...

YAY! Chicago LOST!

As a native Chicagoan, I can only jump for joy at the news that Emperor for Life Little Dick Daley and his tame President Osama have been slapped down is such a strikingly public manner.

Go Rio! Perhaps this year I will break my decades-long streak and actually watch the Olympics.

Tired of posting Herb Kohl's canned responses

It's painfully obvious that Herb Kohl does not read or personally respond to any of my communications. I guess it's my (naive) innate trust that humans have honor and responsibilty that made me keep on trying.

I've just received not one, but two identical replies on the subject of "glowbull worming" that duplicate one "he" sent a few days ago. Same explanations about how it's "well known" that CO2 and methane "accumulate" in the atmosphere and Congress just HAS to do something.

How about NOTHING, idiots?

Chuck

More Feingold communications

Got not one, but two copies of the following:
+++++++++++++++++
Dear Mr. Kuecker,

Thank you for contacting me regarding the increased need for fiscal responsibility and deficit reduction. I appreciate hearing from you.

One of the main reasons that we are in such a budgetary mess that we are currently in is because of the reckless fiscal policies pursued by the previous administration which have left us in the biggest financial hole in our history. Deep deficit spending is something that I am extremely concerned about, which is one of the reasons why I opposed the flawed Wall Street bailout plan.

There are a number of steps we should take to restore some fiscal discipline, and one of those steps is to stop unauthorized spending earmarks. That is why on January 6, 2009 I introduced S. 162, the Fiscal Discipline, Earmark Reform, and Accountability Act. This bipartisan bill is cosponsored by Senators Claire McCaskill (D-MO), John McCain (R-AZ), Joe Lieberman (ID-CT), Richard Burr (R-NC), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Tom Coburn (R-OK).

Our bill would make it easier to remove unauthorized earmarks in appropriations bills. If any Senator tried to remove such an earmark, supporters of the earmark would have to obtain the super-majority of 60 votes in the Senate to keep the earmark in the bill.

In an effort to further target wasteful spending, I also joined my colleagues, Congressman Paul Ryan and Senator John McCain, in introducing the Congressional Accountability and Line-Item Veto Act of 2009. This legislation would create a line-item veto to target wasteful earmarks, improve congressional accountability, and deter lawmakers from inserting "Bridges to Nowhere" or other frivolous spending into future bills. This legislation would enable the president to single out egregious earmarks in bills that arrive on his desk for signature and send these specific items back to Congress for expedited votes on whether to rescind, or cancel, funding for these provisions.

One of the main reasons I first ran for the U.S. Senate was to restore fiscal responsibility to the federal budget. Throughout my career in the Senate, I have worked to bring Wisconsin's historic tradition of fiscal responsibility to Congress, an environment where wasteful spending too often dominates the budget process.

Again, thank you for contacting me. Please feel free to do so on this or any issue.

+++++++++++++++++

The only problem is that I was asking him about the possibility of an independent audit of the Federal Reserve...

Another one, again about health care:

+++++++++++++++++
Dear Mr. Kuecker,

Thank you for contacting me regarding health care. I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts with me.

It is far past time for Congress to ensure all Americans have guaranteed, affordable, high-quality health care. Too many Americans are forced to make basic decisions regarding their health based on cost rather than on medical reasons; too many delay seeking treatment and do not receive preventive care, which results in more costly, or even fatal, consequences down the line. Our country spends $5,670 per capita annually on health care - which is twice as much as any other industrialized nation - and 15.6 percent of our gross domestic product. Despite this spending, we are not healthier than those other countries, and we still have more than 46 million Americans - including eight million children - who do not have health insurance, and countless others who are underinsured.

As you know, these high and rising costs take a tremendous toll on American families and businesses. While inflation grew 9.7 percent, and wage growth was 12.3 percent, premiums for family insurance coverage rose 59 percent from 2000-2004 and show no sign of stabilizing. As a result, many employers are shifting much of their health care costs to employees, no longer providing health benefits, or eliminating positions.

The Senate Finance Committee is currently considering legislation on health care reform. I look forward to Congress finally taking up this issue. Ensuring every American is guaranteed good, affordable health care coverage is made much more difficult by relying only on private insurers. While Americans should be able to retain their current coverage if they choose, providing a public option should keep health care costs down for all Americans.

I am also committed to making long-term care a key part of any reform. Since my time as chair of the Wisconsin State Senate's Aging Committee, I have worked to give seniors and others needing long-term care the choice to remain in their own homes and communities instead of entering institutional care. Long term care must be part of health care reform because helping more people live in their homes is the smart choice to meet both the preferences of families and the need to spend government funds efficiently.

Additionally, the Medicare reimbursement formula has shortchanged Wisconsin for far too long. It is troubling that Medicare provides a more generous reimbursement rate for a procedure done in other states than it does when the same procedure is done in Wisconsin, simply because of an outdated and flawed reimbursement formula. Reducing the inequities in Medicare reimbursement payments is a priority of mine as Congress tackles health care reform.

Again, thank you for contacting me. As health care reform moves forward, I will continue working to improve access to health care and make health care more affordable for the people of Wisconsin. You can learn more about my work on health care reform at my website at http://feingold.senate.gov/healthreform.html. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

+++++++++++++++++

Again, he (or his staff person who writes these) seems determined to ignore the gist of my communication, which was to do NOTHING about health care, rather to fix the GOVERNMENT that's broken and the cause of virtually all our current social and financial problems.

CIFTA reply from Russ Feingold

This was in response to an email I sent him:

http://beloitballistics.blogspot.com/2009/08/anoterh-set-of-emails.html

-----------------------

Dear Mr. Kuecker,

Thank you for contacting me regarding the Inter-American Convention against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms (CIFTA). I appreciate hearing from you.

As you may know, CIFTA was signed in 1997 by then-President Clinton, but was never voted on or ratified by the Senate. The United States is one of only four of the 34 Organization of American States members not to have ratified CIFTA, along with Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

I have heard from several constituents expressing their concerns that this treaty could infringe upon their Second Amendment rights. I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms, and I oppose measures such as gun licensing requirements and handgun bans that seek to unreasonably limit that right. At the same time, as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I have supported U.S. efforts to halt the illicit arms trade around the world.

Should the Senate consider legislation relating to this treaty I will carefully review it to make sure, among other things, that it is consistent with the Second Amendment.

Thank you again for contacting me. For more information about my work on behalf of Wisconsin, you can subscribe to my monthly e-newsletter by visiting http://feingold.senate.gov/newsletter.cfm. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

I'm convinced these things are canned, written by aides.

Tammy Gay votes to spend - again

Just saw that Tammy Gay Baldwin has voted to spend more of the money the IRS steals form us every paycheck...the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network Continuing Authorization Act
*********************
Tammy,

If you have not noticed, our country is in a depression created in large part by Congress spending like drunken sailors. NO insult intended to our Navy.

WHY did you vote to spend money on a local tourist attraction?
*********************

Email from a friend

A buddy emailed this to me:
***********************
One question: How do WE "change" this if the polititions are the ones who write the laws?????

Not long ago I read a joke... It said all the politicians running for president are promising change to the American people. We send them billions and billions of tax dollars and they send us the change.

Funny? Not really; there is too much truth in it to be funny.

But that got me to thinking... They all promise change.

A restoration that would take us back in time to a place where
things ran better, smoother and life was more enjoyable.


Change? That, in truth, is what they have been giving us all along.

We used to have a strong dollar...
Politicians *changed* that.

Marriage used to be sacred...

Politicians have *changed* that.

We used to be respected around the world... Politicians *changed
*that.

We used to have a strong manufacturing economy... Politicians
*changed* that.

We used to have lower tax structures... Politicians *changed* that.

We used to enjoy more freedoms... Politicians *changed* that.

We used to be a large exporter of American-made goods...
Politicians *changed* that.

We used to teach patriotism in schools... Politicians *changed* that.

We used to educate children in schools... Politicians *changed* that.

We used to enforce *LEGAL* citizenship... Politicians *changed* that.

We used to have affordable food & gas prices...

Politicians *changed* that, too... and one could go on and on with this list.

What hasn't been changed, politicians are promising to *change *that as well, if you will elect them.

When, oh when, is America going to sit back with open eyes and look at what we once were and where we have come and say "enough is enough"?

The trouble is, America 's youthful voters today don't know of the great America that existed forty and fifty years ago. They see the world as if it has always existed as it is now.

When will we wake up? Tomorrow may be too late. When will America realize... Politicians are what is wrong with America ? This goes for BOTH parties... Republicans and Democrats, there is no difference anymore... they all do only what they can to be re-elected, not what is best for the citizens!

*What is needed is for the Constitution to be amended to limit all Senators and Representatives to TWO terms in office like the President.
*
*Oh, by the way,* *no big pension either, social security just like the rest of us. How do they rate bigger and better entitlements than the people THEY WORK FOR? WHICH IS US!!*

*Being a politician shouldn't be a person's life work* *but rather a call to public service then back to being an honest hard-working citizen.*

Politicians are no more than housekeepers and janitors... unfortunately they act like they own the building.

*PASS THIS ONE AROUND... **FOR A CHANGE...*
***********************
I replied:
***********************
Amen - but I would add that any politician who betrays his/ her oath of office by introducing an un-Constitutional bill, gets treated as a traitor in wartime. The gallows ought to be out front of the Capitol, and proceedings televised on C-Span.

Also, the free health care, exemption for the Ponzi scheme known as Social Security, and lifetime retirement pension after one term have to end. CONgresscritters need to be housed in a barracks equal to what boot camp enlistees get treated to, ditto food - and health care. They can stay healthy by walking to work, which should be a minimum of one mile from the barracks.

Air conditioning needs to be removed from the meeting rooms and the main halls in the Capitol, and CONgress needs to meet only during the hottest part of the summer for two months maximum. After that, they go home. The longer they are in session, with "creature comforts", the more likely they will be to enact something stupid.

The Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution needs to be repealed. Ditto the 16th. Senators need to be appointed by governors, not popularly elected, and CONgress needs to go on a diet, not have a feeding tentacle in everyone's wallet.

An amendment requiring that ten laws be removed from the books for every new law passed - including budgets, which need to be truly balanced, would be nice, as would a requirement that every new bill come with a Constitutional justification for its' enactment. See the first line.

THAT constitutes a good start for ME.
***********************
Then I realized that he had asked a question in that first line - so I sent him another email:
***********************
Almost missed your comment at the top - it may take a revolution. I think the opening shots may have already been fired.

Alert from congress.org

Got an alert from Congress.org's Roll Call about proposed financial legislation.

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/issues/alert/?alertid=14027556&type=ML

Here's my contribution:

Let me make this eminently clear. With the exception of the recently repealed Glass-Steagall Act, which needs to be put back in force immediately, there are more than enough laws on the books NOW to handle corrupt banks and dubious financial practices. Enforce what is already there.

Require the Federal Reserve to open its' books for a true accounting of its' dealings over the last couple decades. Require them to operate openly - no "secret deals".
