Message from Eric Cantor (R-VA)

Eric Cantor Announces Intention to Stand for Election as House Majority Leader.

We must govern differently - not just differently than the Democrats, but differently from our previous majority as well. I believe that we need to change Washington's culture of spending that has prevailed for far too long.

To that end, I have announced my intention to stand for election as Majority Leader in the 112th Congress, because I want to help lead that effort and bring about these changes.

Please watch the video message below, where I outline some initial thoughts on how a Republican-led Congress should be run.

We will continue the YouCut program in the 112th Congress - to be clear, this means that your ideas and your votes will directly impact, each week, spending cut proposals that are brought to the House floor by the majority party.

We now have the opportunity to turn our words into action and produce real results. Like you, I am anxious to get started.

Regards,

Rep. Eric Cantor

Post Election Thoughts

When we first started this site one of our goals was to see a change in Government, which basically meant a change in the people representing us in Washington D.C. They simply must be accountable to the People.

Been trying to collect our thoughts and think about what November 2nd means to this Country. Not that our goals are going to change. We still need a Federal Government that is more responsive to the People; smaller and more efficient; and one that sets a climate of Freedom to pursue happiness through a less instrusive Federal Government - which means fair taxation and a more prudent manner in spending our money and less unneccessary restrictions and regulations on business.

Here are our thoughts,...

Historic victory for Republicans,…..just not quite enough.

Dismayed to see the results from the California Governors’s and Senator’s race and the Nevada Senate race; apparent Dem victories in the Colorado and Washington State Senate race; same same for Alaska. But that was in the hands of the Peope,..it is unfortunate that Special Interest big money and the unions affected some of these races, most notable in Nevada and California.

But that’s our system, so the Californians are gonna have to live with their choices. Brown and Boxer are about as worthless as you can get......add Pelosi and Reid and you get the four western butt clowns from hell. Add Rangel, Mumbles Frank and Leahy and you have a squad of butt clowns.

Warmed my heart to see Grayson (D-FL) lose his job.

Lots of Republican Governors and Republican State legislatures bode well for redistricting in the States.

Great to see Mike Lee (R-UT), Allen West (R-FL), Quico Canseco (R-TX) and others first time representatives earn Congressional billets. Allen West is a retired Army Lt Col, who was presured to leave the Army for political correct reasons.

Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a rising star – look for him to run for Obama’s job, 2012 or 2016.

Bottom line is that we will most likely see grid lock for the next two years, then the Democrats will blame the Republicans for the impact of decisions that Obama and a Democrat Congress rammed through these past two years.

I think the top issues/goals should be: Repeal Obamacare lock, stock and barrel and start over on something much smaller and affordable; Make the Bush tax rates permanent; Go through the Federal budget with a fine tooth comb and unfund all the bullcrap......maybe a much larger YouCut type program and actually vote on the cuts so the People can see who wants to spend our money and on what.

I would like to see a website where each and every vote is published so the People can see which politician voted for what.

One thing is clear,...from his speech yesterday, Obama still does not get it.

Comparision Between Bernie Madoff and Congress

So Simple a caveman could understand:

Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn't invest their money. As time rolled on he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going.

Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail. Some of you know this. but not enough of you.

Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 70 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes, except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions.
