Fifty-four percent (54%) of Americans oppose any further funding for the federal “cash for clunkers” program which encourages the owners of older cars to trade them in for newer, more fuel-efficient ones.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 33% of adults thinkCongress should authorize additional funding to keep the program going now that the original $950 million allocated for it has run out.
With polls showing the majority of Americans CLEARLY do NOT support this program, why then did congress pass an emergency act to supply the program with 2 billion more American dollars to this program?
I live in the 7th congressional district of New Jersey. My representative is republican congressman Leonard Lance. Do you know who your representative is? Leonard lance is, at first glance, a Moderate Republican. But when I took a look at his voting record I found his voting record dictates he does not maintain conservative values at all. This Republican voted against a bill intended to cut the budget deficit by trillions over the next 5 years. He voted for a 90% tax of bonuses paid to executives working for companies who recieved TARP funds. A 90% TAX! He also voted to extend Cash for Clunkers. When polls show the majority of Americans are against it, this representative chose to vote against the Majority of the people he represents. Who knows, maybe the majority in my district wanted this extension. But if these Congressmen and women were representing the people in their respective districts, this extension clearly would not have passed.
People, you MUST contact your representatives and share your opinions on these bills. If we contact them, they have no reason not to represent us. But it is up to you to get on the phone or your computer and call or email your representatives. Call your Congressmen, call your Senators. Tell them you are against Health Care "reform". Tell them to focus on cutting fat from the budget, cutting programs, balancing the budget, reducing debt, and protecting us from enemies, foriegn and domestic. Speaking of enemies, it appears I may be an enemy of the state for my views of our President, and this government. This from the White House website:
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.So am I to believe if I have a conversation with someone who opposes this Tyrannical health care bill, I am supposed to report it to the white house? If I recieve an email revealing the lies coming out of the White House and the house, I am supposed to report it? To whom? Is this the beginning of an American Gestapo? This sounds like something from a tyrannical government like Cuba, Columbia, or Iran. What, exactly, does the White house plan to do with this "fishy" information?
There is no doubt our freedom is under attack. Our liberty is threatened in a way we have not seen in over 200 years. Get involved in your local government. Protect our constitution. Protect our way of life.
I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made, and I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this, his almost chosen people, for perpetuating the object of that great struggle.
