Congress This Week July 21, 2009
By dipinion on Jul 19, 2009 in Politics
This congress is been demanded to pass certain things by Obama such as Government Controlled everything in our lives lately Health Care!
CONGRESS WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE!
THEY DO NOT WORK FOR OBAMA!
THEY ARE TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
THEY ARE TO BE WATCH DOG OF THE OTHER BRANCHES OF OUR GOVERNMENT AS WELL AS THE OTHER BRANCHES DOING THE SAME TO THINGS. THIS IS CALLED THE CHECKS AND BALANCES! I HAVE SEEN NONE OF THAT BY THIS CONGRESS! THEY ARE LAPDOGS TO OBAMA AND HIS AGENDA TO CONTROL AND TAKE OVER EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO DESTROY THE AMERICAN DOLLAR AND BANKRUPT AMERICA!
DO THEY CARE?
NO THEY DO NOT!
THEY KEEP SPENDING MORE MONEY !!!
THEY ARE NOT FULFILLING THAT PROMISE AND OATH
TOOK WHEN THEY WERE ELECTED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
They have been working overtime trying to trick the other party the desenters into not voting for things.
THEY ARE STILL NOT READING THOSE BILLS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES!! THIS IS A BREACH OF CONTRACT WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT ELECTED THEM
TO OFFICE TO SERVE AND PROTECT US FROM HARM, HIGHER TAXES, LOST JOBS, CREATING CONDITIONS THAT ENCOURAGE BUSINESS, KEEPING THE ENEMY OUT OF THE US, PLUS MORE!
THE DEMOCRATS THINK THEY CAN RAM THINGS THROUGH AT THE DETRIMENT TO THE COUNTRY AND SO FAR THEY ARE SUCCEEDING ON IT! BELOW IS A LONG LIST OF THINGS THEY ARE WORKING ON AND PERSONALLY NOT VERY EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY CARE NOT WHAT THE TAXPAYER WANTS!
I AM CURIOUS HOW MUCH ARE THEY GETTING FROM THE LOBBYIST OR SPECIAL INTEREST TO IGNORE THE VOTERS?
WHY DO THEY WHINE WHEN SOMEONE CATCHES THEM DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND WILL TRY TO THROW THE NEGATIVE ATTENTION OFF THEM AND NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR STATEMENTS AND ACTIONS?
WHY….. THEY CARE NOT FOR THE VOTERS WHO VOTED THEM INTO OFFICE!!!
IF THEY TRULY REPRESENTED THE PEOPLE THEY WOULD CONSIDER ALL SIDES OF AN ISSUE AND ITS COSTS TO THE TAXPAYER. IF THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW WE MUST CHANGE THAT BECAUSE THEY WORK FOR THE PEOPLE IN PROTECTING US IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES!!!
