The New American Revolution

By Jesse Moreno

January 7, 2009

To my friends and fellow citizens:

It’s time to start taking our country and our government back. Whether it’s on a national, state or local level, elected officials are screwing us. Politicians get too comfortable in their jobs, they are addicted to power and get re-elected by hanging a carrot in the form of $500 tax credits over the heads come re-election time.

California is facing a huge budget crisis that was created by those in Sacramento. They overspend, push the bill down the road, and when it comes due they want we the taxpayers to bail them out in the form of higher taxes and fees.

On a national level it’s worse. As a result of the mortgage crises Washington is handing out billions of dollars to banks, insurance companies and Wall Street. They made bad decisions and we the taxpayers are expected to bail them out.

There is a much bigger crises coming. One that will make the sub-prime mortgage mess look like chump change. The federal government is on the hook for $41 trillion in unfounded obligations for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This bill is getting closer as 80 million baby boomers start retiring. Politicians don’t talk about this problem because it’s big and they won’t get elected if they tell us what needs to be done. We are just pushing this problem down the road. Our children and their children will inherit it. They will inherit and have to pay for a huge mess they did not create.

It’s time for a taxpayer/citizen revolution, it’s time to start taking our government back, it’s time politicians did what we the people sent them to office to do and not what unions or special interest get them to do. We can do this. It will take some years but we can get them start listening. We need to start throwing them out of office. That’s what gets their attention.

Here’s what we do:

On a national level: Vote Barbara Boxer out of office. On her next election run do not vote for her but let her know, send her an email, a postcard or a letter. Postcards are better, they don’t have to be opened and the message is out in the open.

The message: “This is The New American Revolution, I will not be voting for you because I want my government back. The important issues like Social Security, Medicare and the National debt are being ignored by Washington, therefore I’m not voting for you”.

On a state level: Vote Karen Bass out of office. On her next election run do the same as Barbara Boxer. Send her a postcard. The message: “This is The New American Revolution, I will not be voting for you because I want my government back. The important issues like the California government’s overspending, overtaxing and catering to Public Employee Unions” is not being dealt with, therefore I will not be voting for you”.

Lastly: Send this email on to 1 friend, 2 friends no specific number, just spread the word. Lets take our country and our state back for our children and grandchildren.

“It’s not a crazy idea, I just want my country and state back, for my kids and theirs”
