Government vs Private Enterprise

Part of the new Health Care law deals with student loans. Why student loans should be mixed with health care can only be answered by the majority members of Congress that wrote and passed the law over the objections of the people.

The government will become the direct lender to students for federally subsidized loans. Private Banks will no longer be allowed to give student loans, the government bureaucracy will run this much better than private enterprise. Federal bureaucracy has a proven track record of running things such as: the Postal Service, Amtrak, home loans, and purchasing supplies for the military.

The Congress that is controlled by the Democratic Party has decided that BIG GOVERNMENT knows better on how our children should get loans. BIG GOVERNMENT will make the decision on what kind of higher education if any our children should receive.

It is time to stop the expansion of the Federal government into every corner of our private lives. It is time to stop one party rule of Congress and the White House. If we do not change the course the Country is headed, we will wake up in a country that we the people do not have a say in.

Bean on the Issues

On the Melissa Bean for Congress website if you try to open the page for "issues" the message you get is "Currently being updated". That is really the best statement she has given for her stand on issues for the 8th Congressional District. In the most recent past she has supported the policies of the President, which are influenced by the Chicago Democratic Machine. Now she is hearing that the issues and concerns of Chicago are not the same as Northwest Cook, Lake, and McHenry Counties. Congresswoman Bean might have known that if she had lived and worked in the 8th District these past six years as our member in Congress.

In a Pew Survey taken in March, Americans were asked if Obama made them feel hopeful. Fifty-four percent said yes, and Forty-three percent said no.

In a more recent Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken in the first week of June. When questioned on the passage of the health care bill, sixty-six percent of all voters now believe the nation is heading down the wrong track.

The nation at large believes the country is being lead down the wrong track by the Liberal Dems in Congress and the White House, while at the same time Melissa Bean's issues that she stands for are "currently being updated". It's time to have someone that knows what the 8th District issues are.

Bean - Liberty's Friend of Foe?

We, as a nation, have taken our freedom and our liberty for granted for too long. Our liberties and our freedoms are eroded slowly by our government. It is only when a far left president is elected to office with a far left Congress that we begin to see how far away from a limited government we have gone. For this reminder, we should be grateful.

When you cast your vote in November, will you be thinking about how Melissa Bean has represented you in Congress? Will you be thinking about how she has voted, on every vote, to further erode our freedom and liberties? Stimulus, bailouts, car company takeovers, healthcare, cap and trade...which of these votes for these monstrosities are for freedom or personal choice?

The left is big into being "pro-choice", but are they really? Are they for more liberties, more freedom, more choice? Not in healthcare, government knows best how you should take care of your body, not you.

Are they for more choice with fiscal policy? No again, they know how better to spend your money than you do. So they must take more of it.

Melissa Bean has voted EVERY time to take your choices away from you.

I challenge every constituent of the 8th District to remember who they are casting a ballot for in November - someone who votes for a government that knows better than you, or for someone that trusts you to make decisions for yourself.

I know what I will choose.

Change vs Freedom

If you have food tn the refrigerator, clothes on your back, and a roof overhead you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank and in your wallet you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are better off than three billion people in the world.

Our country has been the beacon of hope for countless people around the world for generations. The United States has helped saved the world more than once from tyranny. Our Founding Fathers gave us a government not matched by any other country.

Yet our President and the current Democrat controlled Congress including our member of Congress finds our Constitution and our Country flawed and they intend to change it into something not to be recognized by our Founding Fathers.

Are you happy so far with their change or would it be better to continue the brave experiment in freedom that was hard won with the blood of those that came before us.

Upside Down Solutions?

The world seems to be turned upside down.

The Country has racked up an almost unsustainable debt, the deficit for this fiscal year has reached record amounts, there are people willing to blow up Times Square, oil has spilled all over the Gulf threatening not only that region of the country, but the rest of the country at large, our Commander in Chief doesn't feel it's important to be at Arlington National Cemetary on Memorial Day to honor those that have laid down their lives for this country, Congress wants to spend EVEN MORE money we don't have after their holiday break on projects they call "jobs bills" but result in the losses of millions of jobs, and the Administration refuses to support our strongest and most vital ally in the Middle East if not the world while doing nothing about North Korea sinking a South Korean submarine and nothing to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Am I missing something? Does anyone else feel that this Country is perilously close to losing what makes it the best nation to be fortunate enough to live in?

Why is it that people wait YEARS to come to this Country legally, for a better future for themselves and their families. Not only do people come legally, but millions of people are here and continue to pour into this country illegally for the same reasons. Do you see a flood of people to any other nation in the world? Why do you think that is?

Everything is upside down. Foreign leaders should not be allowed or welcomed to address Congress to bash our Country with a standing ovation as a response. Where is the leadership? Where is the common decency and common sense?

This Country is the best country in the world. We are the most generous, humane country. We have the most freedoms, although the seem to be slipping away every day. We have the best health care, or at least we did. We are the most generous, giving not only to charities in our country but also around the world.

How are the solutions the Administration propose and supported by Melissa Bean the right solutions for the Country? They have done nothing to weaken us as a nation to "even" things out or redistribute what some think is too much to others that they think need it more.

There are consequences for elections, and we, as a nation, are learning those consequences all too well. We trusted our elected officials too much for too long.

It's time to take a stand, take accountability for whom we elect to represent us, and demand accountability in return.

The solutions being implemented to problems that don't exist, don't need "overhauling" or "reforming", are all upside down. If true solutions were sought, different decisions would be made. This is about doing what government thinks you should be doing, not you making a choice for what's best for you and your family.

Stand up, use common sense, and hold your elected officials accountable.

Start to turn things back around.
