For the past year, we’ve been listening to Obama and his henchmen make it painfully clear that they do not like big banks or big business. As Americans who are watching some of the tricks that big banks and big business are pulling, we’re not particularly pleased about many of the things that they are doing these days, either. But, our Constitutional form of government has inherent provisions which, if followed, would keep the noses of big government out of it.
So, what do we do?
Another dilemma facing us is the use of corporate profits to buy Congressional influence and votes by way of campaign contributions. Any lawyer in Congress knows that you cannot enact a law preventing business corporations from making campaign contributions because, that violates the 1st Amendment.
Our forefathers were not dummies such as Obama, Pelosi and Reid would have us believe. They knew that these situations could, and probably would, arise. But, by keeping the power of the government in the hands of the people, they provided the avenues for dealing with these issues. It is therefore we, the people, who have fumbled the ball.
Big business gets into trouble; Obama and his henchmen see a way to take over big business for themselves to run. That’s called “nationalization.” They dig into our pocketbooks and provide the banks and businesses money to stay afloat, in return for which the government gets stock and seats on boards of directors. Now, we all know that’s wrong, but what do we do about it?
Here we are, talking about resolving our Congressional issues of graft, corruption and elitism, and we instinctively know that the answer is to vote the bums out of office. It is fair to say that they will quickly get the message in Washington and begin to police themselves.
So, why are “we, the people” still doing business, buying goods and services from the likes of AIG and Bank of America? Why do we continue to buy Omaha steaks from Nebraska when Nelson was willing to sell the rest of the country down the drain by voting for the Health Care Bill, in order to get an everlasting gift from Harry Reid and the rest of the “Good Old Boys?”
We, the American voters and consumers, have within our hands the abilities to resolve these issues. If we quit using Bank of America credit cards and loan services, and we make it abundantly clear that we are ticked off with the campaign contributions and with their employee bonuses and related trickeries while we are financing their butts, their stockholders and Board of Directors will soon see plummeting profits and they will mend their ways. If Obama and Congress try to intervene by lending them more of our money, we vote those guys out of office.
The way things are going in this country, we need to pay attention to who is doing what to us and we need to react with our votes and our pocket books. Quit buying insurance from AIG. Find out who their subsidiaries are, and quit doing business with them. Look up who made the big donations to Reid, Pelosi and Obama and quit doing business with them. Send these guys a postcard… “I hereby quit doing business with you and your subsidiaries because of your irresponsible management team that gave $$$$ to so and so’s campaign last year.” (Be sure to sell your stock in the company before you do this.)
“Congressman, I’m voting against you in the next election because you accepted $$$ in campaign contributions from ABC Corporation, and then you voted for the Health Care Plan that would send extra profits to ABC.”
We have the power. It’s time to start using it, or we will continue to be in the blame.
