The idea for forming the European Union was originally proposed on September 19, 1946, by Winston Churchill in a speech at Zurich University during which he called for a "kind of United States of Europe." December 17 of that year, the European Federalists Union was set into place in Paris, France. The early United Europe Movement was created in 1947, and was in favor of intergovernmental cooperation as opposed to supranational control.
In 1948, the Western Union Treaty was signed by Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) was created. In May of 1948, the Europe Congress met in The Hague, The Netherlands, chaired by Winston Churchill. The participants (800 delegates) recommended that councils be created to prepare political and economic integration of European countries. They also advised the adoption of a human rights charter and the creation of a court of justice to ensure respect for the charter.
In 1979 The European Monetary System was formed and In 2002, The euro was adopted by eleven countries including Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain as their official currency. On January 1, 1999, the money from the 11 countries that were in the European Union had the value of their money set. That means they couldn't change it anymore.
Now a short 11 years later the monetary plan is crumbling under the pressure of government unions and social handouts.
Nigel Farage Comments to members of the EU:
You've been in office for one year and in that time the whole edifice is beginning to crumble. This chaos, the money's running out. I should thank you. You should perhaps be the pinup boy of the Euro skeptic movement. But just look around this chamber this morning. Just look at these faces. Look at the fear. Look at the anger. Poor old Barroso here look like he's seen a ghost. You know, they are beginning to understand that the game is up and yet in their desperation to preserve their dream, they want to remove any remaining traces of democracy from the system. And it's pretty clear that none of you have learned anything. You know, when you yourself, Mr. Van Rompuy say that the Euro has brought us stability, I suppose I could applaud you for having a sense of humor, but isn't this really just the bunker mentality? You know, your fanaticism is out in the open. You talked about the fact that it was a lie to believe that the nation state could exist in a 21st century globalized world. Well, that may be true in the case of Belgium who haven't had a government for six months. But for the rest of us right across every member state in this union, and perhaps this is why we see the fear in the faces, increasingly people are saying we don't want that flag, we don't want the anthem, we don't want this political class. We want the whole thing consigned to the dustbin of history. And we had the Greek tragedy earlier on this year and now we have the situation in Ireland. Now, I know that the stupidity and greed of Irish politicians has a lot to do with this. They should never, ever have joined the Euro. They suffered with low interest rates, a false boom, and a massive bust. But look at your response to them. What they are being told as their government's collapsing, is that it would be inappropriate for them to have a general election. In fact, Commissioner Wren here said they had to agree their budget first before they would be allowed to have a general election. Just who the hell do you think you people are? You are very, very dangerous people indeed. Your obsession with creating this Euro state means that you're happy to destroy democracy. You appear to be happy for millions and millions of people to be unemployed and to be poor. Untold millions must suffer so that your Euro dream can continue. But it won't work because it's Portugal next, with their debt levels of 325% of GDP, they are the next ones on the list. And after that I suspect it will be Spain. And the bailout for Spain would be seven times the size of Ireland, and at that moment all of the bailout money has gone. There won't be any more. But it's even more serious than economics. Because if you rob people of their identity, if you rob them of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence. I can only hope and pray that the Euro project is destroyed by the markets before that really happens.
Now America - look at what your Government is doing:
The Federal Reserve is devaluing our dollar and following the Global Monetary system of George Soros. He became known as "the Man Who Broke the Bank of England" after he made a reported $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crises. Soros correctly anticipated that the British government would have to devalue the pound sterling. George Soros has been to the White House 22 Times in 6 months in 2009. I bet the Blackberry that the President carries has George on Speed Dial #1!
Andy Stern, former president of SEIU also has visited the White House 22 times? He is Speed Dail #2.
We bailed out GM saying they were too big to fail.
The Unions are getting rich off the bail outs - The unions just made $3 Billion on the public offering of GM and the American Taxpayer does not plan on cashing in on the GM stock according to the plan by Timothy Geitner, we are waiting to make sure the Union makes it's money first.
There is talk at Unionizing the TSA. It's not about safety It's about Government Control - A police State - getting the people to fall in line like sheep!
Obama care is Bankrupting our Country.
California, New York and Illinois are on the verge of Bankruptcy and will be asking for bailouts. What do these states have in common? Heavy State worker Unions and Democratic Governors. A deadly Mix!
WAKE UP AMERICA! YOU COULD BE NEXT...........

Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, all nuns, all grandmothers, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because we do not want to offend them who will never surrender and are willing to die to kill us!
Being Politically correct is guaranteeing the death of more Americans, harassment Pure Harassment of 300 Million Americans for traveling.
There are two aspects of terrorism. One aspect of terrorism is to kill you. The other aspect of terrorism is to create a disruption of your lifestyle through fear and intimidation," Allen West tells the newspaper. "So they have still won, even though the underwear bomber was not successful in killing us. They have still won." GOP Rep.-elect Allen West of Florida favors profiling likely terrorists at airports instead.
God help us if Bristol Palin wins “Dancing with the Stars” all phones calling into to judging the winner will be investigated for their association with the Tea Party as a conspiracy to make Barrack Hussein Obama look bad, all Muslim males between the ages of 17 and 40 will be exempt.
We need to look for Terrorist not objects or things.
That is what the Israelis do and they are very effective.

The Return of Many Hero's
On Sunday my family and I had the opportunity to attend the welcome home ceremony for part of the 3rd Infantry Division at Hunter Army Air Field in Georgia. The unit left November 14th, 2009 and returned on Sunday. The Flight for the Freedom Fighters was delayed from Friday to Saturday and Finally arrived on Sunday. We went there for one Freedom Fighter in particular., a Captain of the 3rd Infantry Division, Warlords Attack Helicopter Company. What an emotional Roller Coaster. The emotions were running high all week as the days were counted down and the delays mounted by the day, by the hour, by the minute. We finally arrived at the air field to see the veterans and USO Volunteers, and workers planning for the arrival. Announcements were made, telling you what was happening with them, where they were going to march in, what we were suppose to do, etc. There were friends who had supported the families there, whose fathers, mothers, brothers, sons, who were still deployed but were only there for support. Old acquaintances from wars past were rekindled, memories and stories swapped like bees goin from flower to flower. An old veteran and I swapped stories of being spat on when we returned from VietNam by War protesters. No Fan fair, no thank you other than from immediate family.
I remembered my own journey to and from Vietnam in 1971 and 1972, a much different atmosphere today more than 38 years ago. Leaving my mother crying on the front porch after an emotional good bye; "Michael come back!" Back then you came home one at a time when your time was up or in a flagged draped casket which ever came first, there were some 58,236 killed in Viet-Nam who never made that trip home. I was one of the lucky ones!
Operation Enduring Freedom has had 1396 US Casualties, and in Operation Iraqi Freedom 4427 US Casualties.
As I sat there listening to the Patriotic songs, God Bless the USA, Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue, The Green Beret song, The National Anthem: I remembered my own friends who never made it back, I remembered some of Travis's classmates from West Point who gave it all for all, I remembered the soldiers from the most recent conflicts who have come home with one less arm, leg, eye, hand, or in some cases quadriplegic, and the concerts that I have been to raise money for homes they could live in that were specialty built for their needs.
I saw Mother and Fathers crying with tears of joy.
I saw little boys and girls crying because their daddy was not there.
Then they opened the doors of the Hanger and the formation of our Hero's came marching in: The pride, the chills and goose bumps, the tears began flowing with joy, gratitude and happiness. Everyone got their hugs in the proper order Wife, Mom, then dad.......then the rest....no particular order after that...
I am a member of The Patriot Guard, a motorcycle group which began to protect families of returning hero's who had made the ultimate sacrifice, to keep protesters away from the funeral. I remember one funeral I went to and rode and stood the line, did not know who he was, did not know his family, did know anything about him other than he gave his life for this country and all that live here. In a small Middle Tn town the widow was 23, no children, much the same age of my daughter. Although the ride from the funeral home to the cemetery was only 2 miles there was not a space along the street where a person was not standing holding an American flag paying their respects.
The now widow was escorted to the funeral by an officer, As the American flag was carefully folded by members of the Honor Guard, hundreds sat in silent reverence of a hero laid to rest, an Army Colonel in Dress Blues told the widow your husband served your country and your community well. He fought the good fight, his job is done. We are in awe of his courage, steadfast loyalty and dedication. We thank him for exchanging all of your tomorrows as the price for our Freedom. May your family’s pain be eased by the pride they have in you. They will remain in my prayers and you will always be a Hero to me.
All gave some and some gave all.
We enjoyed the ceremony and the joyful reunion of family and friends.

An Open Letter to the House of Representative Members and the Senate Members
An Open Letter to the House of Representative Members and the Senate Members
You did not get elected by the Speaker of the House nor did you get elected by your leader in the Senate, nor were you appointed by the President, you were elected by the people. For those of you elected your work is just begun.
First do not Leave God out of anything you do. Walk around and look at all the monuments in Washington DC, read the constitution, God, Creator, individual rights; Judeo-Christian principles are the very foundation of this Nation. We are a Christian nation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Did you hear that? You derive your powers from the governed “The People.”
Your Oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Nothing in that oath about a Global Congressman or a Global Senator! Your to Defend the United States.
Do you know the meaning of these?
A balanced budget is when there is neither a budget deficit nor a budget surplus – when revenues equal expenditure ("the accounts balance") – particularly by a government.
A balanced budget amendment is a constitutional rule requiring that the state must not spend more than its income. It requires a balance between the projected revenues and expenditures of the government.
We the People
We the People are not interested in you moving toward the President’s agenda: we soundly reject it all! We are not interested in compromise; we are not interested in parliamentary rules being changed. We want our country back, we want our freedom back, and we want the government out of our lives.
1. Do what you must but the American People Expect a balanced budget
The First votes you will have are:
Who will you elect to be the Speaker of the House?
How will you vote when you must vote to raise the debt ceiling?
2. Each vote you make will be measured against:
a. Does it increase the National Debt, our biggest Security Threat?
b. Does it grow the government?
c. Does it increase taxes?
d. Does it secure the United States?
e. How does it affect the individual citizen? Does it intrude on our freedom?
3. We want a smaller government. Cut spending by 25%. NOW!
a. Cut all funding translating forms into any language other than English, You’re in America and we speak English! This is being physically responsible not insensitive.
b. Eliminate any law that requires translating labels into another language, for use in the U.S. If a company sells their product overseas that is the cost of doing business.
4. We want a strong national defense. We only go to War to Win!
5. We want our borders secured, don’t put up signs warning Americans we have areas that are unsafe to travel, this is America land of the free and the home of the brave! Stop illegal immigration and deport anyone who is here illegally. Develop a temporary worker program and monitor their whereabouts.
6. We want the government out of the way of business; the American business will create all the jobs needed if you will create an environment that does not punish success. Free market capitalism works!
7. Repeal Obama care. It is unconstitutional. It is a travesty that this was even passed. As we read it we find redistribution of wealth, development of a commissioned officer force that works directly for the president, monitoring of gold ownership, IRS authority to look into every transaction we make, 70% percent of the people do not want it, so get rid of it!.
8. Slow down and allow adequate time to review and understand all bills. All Bills MUST be read before you vote on them, so if you don’t want to read for the next 4 years make your bills short and sweet. Things are not that complicated, so don’t make them that way. The original bill that created the Transportation Department I believe was 7 pages long. If you cannot come before the American people and explain it or it cannot be read by a senior in High School that has a C average, go back to the drawing board.
9. All Bills will be voted on during the day televised.
10. Eliminate the IRS and vote in a fair tax or some very simple process to be taxed on items you purchase.
11. Eliminate Ear Marks.
12. Any law you pass applies to senators, congress and their staffs’, what is good for the electorate is good for you too!
13. Cut all money going overseas until all programs are evaluated for common sense.
14. All budgets must be audited and balanced and before the next budget is approved an analysis must be done to evaluate the spending.
15. Thomas Jefferson said “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” The Federal Reserve is one of the most dangerous institutions around today. The print money when they want to, they have overstepped their bounds; we are now going to print money, inflate the currency and devalue the dollar. What gives the government the right to do this! The constitution only gives the government the right to make coins. Where in the constitution does the Federal Reserve find its authority to monetize our debt? I want the Federal Reserve audited!
16. Cut all funds to the United Nations except for humanitarian needs.
17. All Czars should be defunded.
18. A Congressional Investigation should be levied against the government. After GM and Chrysler announced last year that they were going to go bankrupt, the U.S. government stepped into bail out the two Detroit automakers -- at a cost of $80 billion to taxpayers. As part of the plan, the car companies were told to streamline their production plants and distribution outlets, and close more than 2,000 dealerships between them. The government took their assets and left the dealers with all the liabilities and the dealerships were a 100% asset and 0% liability and redistributed their work to “chosen” person or company. Incredible abuse of power in America. KEEP THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN IN AMERICA. What are you going to do about it? What does justice mean?
19. Any movement to bring Shariah Law should be halted immediately, this is treason, and it is being done to replace our constitution. . Treason definition - citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aided or involved by such an endeavor.
20. Beware of charitable deductions for Islam religion called Zakat 1/8 of giving goes to the way of Allah - funding wars - money will be used to kill our soldiers.
21. The United Nations Small Arms Treaty - Watch and Read thoroughly all treaties and measure them against the constitution and their impact on the constitution and on individual rights and liberties, example: 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms.
22. Cut the Department of Education, this was a bad idea Jimmy Carter, and send the $100 Billion to the States, let the States handle the Educational system, they know better than Washington bureaucrats.
23. Reform the Department of Energy, another bad Jimmy Carter Idea, With the Focus of Drilling our own oil and plan to eliminate the purchase of all oil from OPEC in 10 years. If you will turn the oil companies loose in the US they will surprise you with their ingenuity. Build Nuclear Electric plants. This alone will create 1 Million high paying Jobs, may be 2 Million. Government need to take their hand cuffs off Business’ and let them go. The current structure stifles business and hurts the consumer this is totally backwards; it should enhance business and save the cost of energy to the consumer. We spend $140 Billion per year importing oil from people who mostly hate our guts, OK stop buying from them, and get the Oil from our own resources, let see $140 B plowed back into our own economy, can we say: Deficit Buster. This can be accomplished in 10 years or less!
24. Since we now know the Global warming is based on falsification of information and we also know that all the money the U.S. will spend will not change the earth’s temperature by 1 degree, we should not spend any money on a wasted effort. Defund any project that is based on this false data. It is simple; the law of diminishing returns, to Spend Billions and have less than a 1% impact is a waste of time and effort. Solar Energy and Nuclear Energy can be expanded by giving tax incentives to business that create the business. The Cap & Trade Bill should NOT come up for a vote because that data used was based on a manmade Hoax.
25. The EPA should be cut by 75% this would save $7Billion. Defund their budget line by line. The EPA does not have the right to legislate, that is congresses job.
26. Social Security: For those 50 years old and under your Social Security Account will go into a private account that YOU control, that the government CANNOT touch. For those 50 and older you stay on the old system and the old system is phased out. Raise the retirement age to 68 the life expectancy in the U.S. is 78. If you have done well and can retire before then, go for it!
27. Term limits need to be enacted NOW. 4 Years for Senators and Congress in alternating years by the number of representatives in each state for example 4 representatives and 2 senators;
2 representatives and 1 senator will be reelected every 2 years, so there will be consistency of leadership.
Remember at the G20 Summit in Toronto Canada How President Obama wanted to continue spending, but Germany and Great Britain wanted to cut spending and their deficits. Well
Germany, the largest economy in Europe, just hit an 18 year low on unemployment 7.5% they did it by focusing on their economy slashing corporate taxes (added jobs), the system of social security, and Germany's position on the world market; Physical responsibility, cutting spending. WE can learn from Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In Britain, The country's economic recovery is continuing at a faster rate than expected, it was revealed yesterday as Britain's debts were taken off a danger list. Chancellor George Osborne hailed the developments as a 'double dose of good news' and a vote of confidence in his planned spending cuts of 81 Billion pounds to eliminate the budget deficit. Their unemployment rate is 7.8%. WE can learn from Prime Minister David Cameron.
Do we see a pattern hear? Cutting taxes and cutting spending = Economic growth = Deficit reduction. Now that is change we can believe in!
Remember when we (The U.S.) were the teacher and not the student?
Keep the Constitution in your pocket you will be judged by how close you followed it.
The seat you occupy belongs to the people.
We want our liberty and our country back.
If you do not want to do the will of the people we will find someone who will the next time around!
Remember God is watching and we are too!

You did not get elected by the Speaker of the House nor did you get elected by your leader in the Senate, nor were you appointed by the President, you were elected by the people. For those of you elected your work is just begun.
First do not Leave God out of anything you do. Walk around and look at all the monuments in Washington DC, read the constitution, God, Creator, individual rights; Judeo-Christian principles are the very foundation of this Nation. We are a Christian nation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Did you hear that? You derive your powers from the governed “The People.”
Your Oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Nothing in that oath about a Global Congressman or a Global Senator! Your to Defend the United States.
Do you know the meaning of these?
A balanced budget is when there is neither a budget deficit nor a budget surplus – when revenues equal expenditure ("the accounts balance") – particularly by a government.
A balanced budget amendment is a constitutional rule requiring that the state must not spend more than its income. It requires a balance between the projected revenues and expenditures of the government.
We the People
We the People are not interested in you moving toward the President’s agenda: we soundly reject it all! We are not interested in compromise; we are not interested in parliamentary rules being changed. We want our country back, we want our freedom back, and we want the government out of our lives.
1. Do what you must but the American People Expect a balanced budget
The First votes you will have are:
Who will you elect to be the Speaker of the House?
How will you vote when you must vote to raise the debt ceiling?
2. Each vote you make will be measured against:
a. Does it increase the National Debt, our biggest Security Threat?
b. Does it grow the government?
c. Does it increase taxes?
d. Does it secure the United States?
e. How does it affect the individual citizen? Does it intrude on our freedom?
3. We want a smaller government. Cut spending by 25%. NOW!
