I didn’t really think there was a point to go to Holt’s Town Hall Meeting last night. After all, I’ve communicated to him, or tried to anyway, many times, telling him my views on the current issues; on the economy, healthcare, cap and trade, just to name a few. He always wrote back and updated me with his voting record. It was always opposite of how I wanted him to vote.  After awhile I feel he just does what he wants to do anyway, what’s the point in meeting him? In the past I have traveled far and made efforts to join fellow Americans in expressing our opposition to Obama and Washington policies. At this point I feel my energy will focus on trying to get my voice heard by helping the best candidates I can find and voting on Election Day. But Marlboro was too close to me not to attend.

Rush Holt was exactly how I anticipated. He’ll tell you that he wants to hear from his constituents, but he has no desire in really listening to us. He treated the audience as if we were in third grade. Holt talked on and on not answering the questions and not even trying to hear his constituents. At first, he didn’t even allow any followup questions. Even children know when their questions are not answered and when they are lied to. So it goes without saying that as adults we know when we are disrespected.

My husband wanted to ask about the fact that more New Jerseyians are moving out of New Jersey than into New Jersey and what plans does he have to remedy this problem. Also, given the current climate of dissatisfaction with our elected officials, would he suggest legislature for term limits. His questions were not chosen to be answered. I’m sure I’ll be getting correspondence from him and I’m sure he won’t have an answer for it.

Often people ask why their representatives would keep spending money America does not have. They ask why they voted for cap and trade and the healthcare bill. Representative Rush Holt always has a spin on these answers making it look like what he voted for will work and has worked for us Americans.

Instead of asking our elected officials why they keep spending money and why they keep passing these bills, WHY DON’T WE JUST TELL THEM.

They have an agenda and it’s called government control. They know best how to spend our money. Even if we get to the point when even a smaller minority of us are still working, we will be supporting everyone who doesn’t work all under the disguise of “fairness”.  Conveniently, at the same time, our elected officials will be voted back in term after term because most citizens will depend on the government and they need to keep their representative in office who makes it possible for them to survive.

It was nice to meet neighbors that have similar views as I do and I look forward to joining you all in supporting Mike Halfacre.

Democrats and liberals alike are cringing in fear ,confusion,and dread over the resounding defeat they suffered from the monumental election results.

The elections show that Mr. Obama, his power grab, and his socialist ideas have been rejected and that the people are willing to vote his cronies and henchmen who follow him out of office.  In  New Jersey and Virginia,  states that Obama easily won in a landside vote this past presidential election, have turned away from the big spending, huge government ,cradle to grave freebie mentality that Obama dictates. The electorate is willing to speak out with their vote and throw these power hungry villians out into the streets. When the people’s calls, letters, tea parties, town hall meetings,  protests fall on the administration’s deaf and dumb ears, the electoriate will go to the poles and show these lustful demigods that their will and desires will be respected and followed or else the usurpers will be looking for a job. Obama fought hard in maintaining the status quo in getting the losers reelected by  campaigning vigoriously in New Jersey and Virginia with Vice Biden, Oprah, and Michelle Obama all campaining and continuing to spout the spin and misrepresentations that have been so prevelant a part of the rhetoric that is constantly sprewed by  everything that Mr. Obama and his henchmen touch and stand for. All their charisma has failed to fool and produce the needed and desired results to keep the present X elected officials in office. At present, his spin artists in the administration have been churning and  turning and twisting everything in every which way,  into having the population believe that the election results  are just a trivial bump in the road to their socialist,  communist pathway to controlling and taking away the  rights of the people. In private the Obamas, the Harry Reids, Pelosis, the czars,  the liberal congressmen, and left wing house representatives know through fear of their own impending future loss in their upcoming elections, they have  come to the realization in their black hearts that they are on the brink of political elimination if they continue to follow this fuhrer blindly in his quest to take control of health care, eliminate free enterprise, increase strangling taxation, take over banking, insurance, and the automobile industries. Let these election results, be an eye opener for all, the people are not going to sit back and let this country be raped and changed into a third  rate nation, by anyone, even someone who knows how to make a good speech  and has the news medias hypnotized and whose wife has  arms, you and those who trespass on our freedoms will be voted out, into the scrape pile of X government representatives, GUARANTEED.

Because I was late attending the North Arlington, New Jersey Town Hall Meeting yesterday and because the meeting was filled to capacity, I needed to wait outside  with some other concerned citizens. Most were your average citizens, all with their own stories. It seemed like we all held similar concerns, similar beliefs, and similar frustrations. Also, there were a few that carried professional looking signs in favor of healthcare reform. I was told that in small print was printed “moveon.org”. They were clearly the minority.

I keep thinking that if (or actually, when) this bill or a revised bill on healthcare gets passed there is an open door. A door open for government control over our individual liberties. Perhaps they will make revisions and  tell us that government will not be the only option in providing health care insurance, or we will have the choice to go to our preferred doctors, there will not be any rationing and we won’t have to kill off those that do not contribute to society. Perhaps they will. Just as Steve Rothman of New Jersey promised, he will not sign a bill with these controls. But it was obvious that he wants to sign a healthcare bill.

Even if they do that and create a bill that grants no controls at all (actually I don’t see how this is possible, but I’ll give my skeptics the benefit of the doubt), the door is open. Open for slight adjustments as time allows.

Not to bring religion into this, but there is a critical time in the Jewish calendar. God opens the Book of Life and Death. A time when it is decided who shall live and who shall die in the coming year. This critical time is for ten days. And we recite how those chosen will die: “who by fire, who by water, who in the sunshine, who in the night time”. And it goes on and on. But, never in one’s wildest dreams would we imagine reciting “who by government control”.

Perhaps you don’t believe in a higher force that controls who lives and who dies. Perhaps I’m going a little overboard in this comparison, but the door is open at this time in our history. Our government is in crisis mode pushing through reforms as quickly as possible. The fact that we are even asking and debating, and they are trying to coverup their intentions and trying to answer these questions shows that our government is trying to control our lives. It’s our job to use this time to present the case that we don’t want these controls over our lives and perhaps controls over our death.

Obama’s words, “GET OUT OF MY WAY”, while referring to working out America’s healthcare dilemma, is the tipping point for me when dealing with this healthcare issue and perhaps in dealing with this President.

Our freedom of speech is being attacked. Is there any other way to interpret these words? Please tell me. This was after the White House request to submit “fishy”, misleading information to flag@whitehouse.gov. Senator John Conyn of Texas accused the White House of compiling an “enemies” list. DNC Communications Director, Brad Woodhouse, said “the right wing extremist Republican base is back”. How polarized has this country become during this “bipartisan, transparent Presidential term? This sounds and looks too ugly even for an elementary school yard fight. I am your average, everyday citizen and it looks to me like those that are attending town hall meetings are also average, everyday citizens. Additionally, we do not have to explain to you who we are, give excuses for  disagreeing with your policies, explain why we show up to town hall meetings, or any other protests.

Our country was founded with the principles of freedom. When the President of the United States tells it’s citizens to get out of the way and is compiling lists of people that disagree with him and his policies, I have good reason to worry. In response to the accusation of right wing extremists, the only extremism I see is in Washington and they are controlling the country. It’s time for those that are not extreme in Washington to stand up.

I’m sorry Mr. President, but this is not about you. We do not want your policies. Get over it. Instead of mocking and intimidating the US citizens try a different approach and try to work with us. Listen to other points of view. Be bipartisan as you claimed you would be. It’s time for you, Mr. President, to get out of MY way.

As Peggie Noonan said, this is “change we do not believe in”.
