Concerns 06-24-12 1) Small businesses do not need more paperwork. We are trying to carry the government on our backs. 2) Small businesses do not need to pay more for insurance etc. 3) Babies have a right to live. 4) http://www.ccountry.net/~melham/homosex.txt 5) Same sex �marriage� implies homosexuality which God condemns (see above). 6) O bomb care would leave me helpless in case of another major accident, since I am older than 70 years and am crippled. 7) Instead of 2% of known oil reserves, the US probably has 98% and if drilling were allowed on government (our) land, we could be selling to other countries instead of buying. Someone has not been telling the truth. 8) I don't want Canada to sell oil to our competitor, China. We need to use the pipelineS. 9) I want to be able to quote scripture from the pulpit. (See web page above). 10) We need more jobs such as allowing energy production would generate. 11) We can't continue to educate illegals since we are having trouble educating citizens. Kids who have lived in the US for 7 years and kept out of trouble, and those who served in our military should be allowed to become citizens. 12) Wasted money spent on big government should be saved for our military. 13) We do not need to be told how to eat. 14) Countries killing their own people should not be funded by US. 15) Our president should not apologize for US. 16) Since POTUS and SCOTUS blocked one sovereign state from helping the government do its job, will they make Texas let drugs across the Rio Grande river? 17) If he swore to defend the constitution then ordered that it be ignored, maybe he should get a dishonorable discharge. 06-27-12 18) The O bomb has changed his mind on how many things now that he thinks more votes will come from the new philosophies? 19) My studies in nuclear energy makes it clear that the nuclear waste will stay dangerous for 1000 years. Meltdowns are mostly preventable, but something has to be done with the spent fuel. 20) Wind, hydro, tide, natural gas, geothermal, and (carefully used) coal could all supplement gas and diesel. 21) An electronic line which would alert border patrol, would be more effective and less expensive than physical fences which can be cut or scaled. 06-28-12 22) Did the president unite and stop polarization and bring cooperation as he promised? 07-20-12 Groups angered by POTUS: Opinions expressed are what I understand God would want (my own opinions) 1) Those who realize how bad Obomb care is (including bankrupting USA and Soc security) 2) People who believe what the Bible says about homosexuality (nothing "gay" about it) http://www.ccountry.net/~melham/homosex.txt 3) Catholics who accept what their Pope says about marriage AND birth control 4) Believers in the Constitution of the USA (O swore to uphold then ignores) 5) People who believe in the sovereignty of states 6) People who want the USA to be energy independent and/or be able to export energy 7) Jobless people/under-employed who do NOT think things are going well 8) My countrymen who are proud of the USA 9) Believers in free market which made our country the place people flee TO instead of FROM 10) Those who want to chart their own course in religion and jobs and tax application 11) Those of us (as my small business) who do not enjoy excessive taxation 12) People who do not want to have their great grandchildren to try to dig out of a horrible financial hole 13) People who show loving kindness to one another in speech and action (even in the halls of congress) 14) People who want to live without accidentally violating laws of which there are tooooo many 15) Those who want a Czar-less society 16) People wanting to continue to have the right to bear arms 17) People wanting to not lose half our doctors and have LONGER waiting room waits and shorter consultations 18) People wanting ALL the news 19) People who want ALL babies to have a chance to live 20) People wanting stronger instead of weaker military ETC... Need to quit for now Reply if you want me to add your group 07-24-12 My proposed platform: 1) All babies should be given an opportunity to live. 2) Israel should be supported. 3) 2nd amendment should be kept in place. 4) Homosexuality is condemned by the Bible. www.ccountry.net/~melham/homosex.txt 5) Big government hampers the economy. Cut back, maybe whole departments. 6) The constitution of the USA is the best. It needs to be supported, not ignored. 7) Free market capitalism should be our method of operation. 8) Central government should support the border states who are trying to stop illegal country entry. Do not squelch states' rights. 9) EPA needs to get under control so we can become energy independent. Encourage all energy sources that do not require subsidies. Kill nuclear because of radioactive waste. 10) National debt needs to go down rapidly (not just slow growth). 11) O bomb care needs to go. We do not want to kill Social Security and lose most of our doctors. 12) Quit $ support to administrations of countries who hate us or Israel. 13) Government should not tell us what we can preach. 14) Czars need to go. 15) Reduce number of restricting laws and paperwork for small companies. 16) Obey laws that cap taxes. Flat tax? Limit power of IRS? 17) Do not subjugate the USA to other countries with treaties like LOST and CRPD. 18) Quit reducing military. 19) Reduce name calling which polarizes instead of demonstrating mutual respect. 20) Admit that we still trust in our God.
