You may not agree with Glen Beck, you may not think he is honest in his opinions, but recently I saw something he aired that I thought should be posted because at it's heart is something that I agree we need to focus on as a country.
This is the IN or OUT 2010 political oath:
Dear Mr. Politician, yes or no:
- I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.
- I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.
- I believe more than four decades of U.S. dependence on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas, and coal as necessary.
- I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why and I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over U.S. citizens.
- I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.
If your politician doesn't believe, support or reflect these beliefs in their actions (not the little words they say), then they aren't supporting you. More importantly, they aren't supporting, protecting or defending the Constitution and it's time to vote the bums out.
Mr. Obama, et al.: This is an oath that is coming to an election near and dear to you hearts and pocket books... You CANNOT keep growing government, spend our children's and grand children's money and poking your views into our private lives!
Period!
