Honor Veterans!

  

In America today approximately 0.4% of the population or 1.33 million men and women are active duty military. 15.8 million or 6.1% of the population are Honorably discharged Veterans.

Each one swore an Oath to Defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. With the swearing of that Oath every Veteran signed a blank check payable with their life to defend the Constitution. Over 1 million veterans have paid with their lives defending the Constitution.

Senators and Congressmen swear a similar Oath, yet since they never participate in combat they do not sign that blank check. Yet from an elected position they receive full pay and top healthcare for the rest of their lives.

Veterans have to serve at least 20 years to receive a pension of 40-50% of the top pay they achieved and they have to qualify for average healthcare.

No Veteran whether they only served their enlistment period or retired should have to qualify for healthcare and they should receive for life the same healthcare Congress receives.

Those that retire should as Congress gets receive full pay for the rest of their lives. In addition all Honorably Discharged Veterans should be exempt from all federal, state and local income taxes as well as property taxes, inheritance taxes and taxes on investments. Also the immediate family of those that died protecting America.

It is long past time that America should take care of the Americans who put their lives on the line for America.

No Vaccines

  

Since neither the United States or Connecticut has gone to war or been attacked by any means including biological I have the following question for Ned Lamont.

Article 13 of the 1949 Geneva Convention III provides:
No prisoner of war may be subject to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.
Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Geneva, 12 August 1949, Article 13.
According to Article 130, conducting biological experiments on prisoners of war is a grave breach of the Convention.
Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Geneva, 12 August 1949, Article 130.
Since prisoners can't have drugs forced on them, why can an elected Public Servant force drugs on Legal American Citizens?

More control

  

The newest way to control We the People is setting up speed cameras on the highways. Polling places and where the votes are counted need these audio and video cameras. Not the highways.

Let’s take a look at probable issues with these computer operated Highway cameras:

1) They are computer controlled so they are hackable. AI could generate fake images.

2) Without being hacked the powers that be can decide we need some more money in the budget so tag every 7^th vehicle for speeding whether they are or not doesn’t matter we want the money.

3) Someone has a personal vendetta against a person, for political or whatever reasons and has their vehicle tagged constantly.

4) Under the 6^th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution you have the Right to face your accuser. How is this possible with a computer. With live State Troopers it is possible.

These reasons are just to start.

Where we need cameras with audio and video is in every government building and vehicle. In every private government office from the governor on down there should be no private or executive sessions. The only private place would be criminal investigations. These people are our employees/public servants and they were elected or hired to do what We the People tell them to, not what lobbyists and corporations pay them to do.

Time to bring Freedom, the US Constitution and government by We the People back to Connecticut.

Why?

 

Why?

The following are questions I have and some answers I came up with:

Why do we have register our vehicles and renew our drivers licenses every couple of years? To keep a group of bought and paid for voters employed and paid for by the tax payers.

Why do we have to pay a property tax yearly on a house/property and vehicle we paid a sales tax on when we purchased them? Again to keep us under control by paying off voting groups who continue to vote in the party that gives them the biggest raises and benefits.

With all the laws passed to protect workers, why do we need public service unions? Same answer as the first two. Bought and paid for voting group.

We the People are supposed to own America why do our elected and civil public servants get to tell us when we can go on our beaches, in our forests, fish in our rivers, streams and ponds? I understand a set time for hunting for safety reasons and the birthing times of wild life. Why also are we charged to use our Property? See the above answers the rangers and park employees are another bought and paid for voting block.

Why an inheritance tax since all the money and property in that inheritance was already taxed? No reason except to fund more voting groups.

Why is medicare taken out of our paychecks and then again out of our social security? No reason that I can think of. We paid into it for over 40 years you’d think the short time we use it would have been paid for.

The government treats the legal American Citizens as an ATM. To fund groups to keep a political party in power.

Death of The American Dream

 

The American Dream has died. It did not die a natural death it was murdered. It was murdered not by a terrorist organization or foreign government, It was murdered by the people whose job was to protect it, the elected public servants in the American Congress and all the state and local governments. The men and women who swore an oath to protect and defend America and its citizens failed to uphold that oath. They gave away American jobs to foreign countries. They allowed corporations to form “almost” monopolies that drove American mom & pop stores and businesses across the country out of business. They allow oil speculators and monopolistic American and foreign oil companies to destroy the American economy. They waste trillions of American tax dollars in wars in foreign countries that have no benefit to the American taxpayer. They give trillions of tax dollars and medical aid to illegal immigrants. Yet nothing is done to help the Americans who have worked their whole lives and contributed to America and Social Security. There is no raise for Social Security recipients no help with medical, no help with mortgages or rent.

They give themselves raises and the best medical in the world for life as well as a retirement from one term in office. The taxpayers who pay for this need to work for decades to hopefully be able to retire.

It is time to vote them all out of office. When the government ignores the Constitution and the needs and the desires of American citizens the Declaration of Independence guides us in what we need to do. It is time to resurrect the American Dream, to vote in people who will “provide new Guards for their future security”. It is time to end unjust taxation with questionable representation it is 1776 again. It is time to put in term limits, end their retirement and medical, set their pay and medical to that of an average American. We need to elect public servants who will pass laws that will protect America and make her great again.

Open Government

 

I want to know how any government agency with the exception of ongoing criminal investigations or actions requiring a security clearance can hold an executive session where we The People their employers are refused entry and not allowed in and the same for the media. These should be outlawed! These people work for us, and we have every Right to know what they are doing. This is especially true when they hold closed door executive sessions when negotiating contracts with unions, and to to purchase anything. This is our money they are spending and We The People Have a Right to be in these meetings! Time to take back control of our Elected Public Servants and Civil Servants and our Freedom!

Outlaw Public service unions

 Public service unions need to be outlawed. They are nothing more than a bought of voting block to keep a certain party in power at the expense of the CT taxpayers. I worked in a company that had a union. One day just talking with some of the union officers over coffee a new tax increase came up and surprisingly the union guys blamed the public service unions. I listened and asked why they don’t support them. Their answer was logical and true. When private sector unions negotiate the need to keep in mind they need to keep the business running and if the prices go to high the business could fail and they could all lose their jobs. We sold internationally as well as domestic and that was always kept in mind not to cost the company business. However public service unions don’t operate that way. All they care about is giving power to the party that gives them the most money and benefits. They don’t care if they bankrupt or drive out of state businesses or what the new increases do to those on fixed income. It’s all about greed for them and keeping a certain party in power. Also with all the laws passed to protect workers why are unions needed. All I see is that they protect the lazy and the slugs. Drive past any work zone and see all the people just standing around doing nothing except getting paid out of tax dollars. Outlaw them!!!

Tea Party Time?

 

It is time to look at how our elected public and civil servants are destroying the American Dream.

Income tax state and federal, sales taxes in some cases city. Separate tax on gasoline and tires along with sales tax. Yearly property taxes on homes and vehicles. Taxes on savings,on retirement savings, Social Security, owning a business corporation or LLC. Why not one large tax? Because that would probably cause a modern day Tea Party when people saw what percentage of their pay was stolen from them.

Don’t forget the casinos and lotto.

Fees: why do we need fees when we pay taxes? Registering your vehicle every 2 years also your drivers license why? Just to employ people who will vote for the party giving them the raises and pensions. A bought and paid voting block. A property tax so why an additional fee for a permit to work on your property. Since the property is ours why do we need a permit at all? Fees to go on our beaches, forests and more. Why can they limit when we can go there it is our property not the governments? Why tolls with vehicle, gas and tire taxes? Why hunting and fishing licenses when it is our property. Hunting license because you need a course to do it safely but it the course will cost but the license should be free. The Right to own and Bear Arms it is a Right under the U.S. Constitution why do we have to pay for a permit? We don’t pay to exercise our Right to Vote.

Why do we need full time paid elected representatives inventing more laws for a Free People.

Why useless and duplicate government agencies that are writing regulations that are not voted on by our representatives, yet come with fines, penalties just like laws, the regulations should be illegal.

Why are our taxes given to foreign countries and wars also to local and foreign charities and Americans who need the aid like the victims of Helene are ignored.

It is time for all Legal Americans to stand up vote, contact our representatives and take back America lower our taxes, fees and shutdown useless controlling agencies.

It seems we are getting closer to being a communist country like North Korea or China every new law or regulation that is past.

It is time for term limits and to have our Elected Public Servants/Representatives actually represent the Legal American Citizens.

Stand up for Seniors

 

AG Tong, Gov. Lamont and the rest of our public servants were elected to represent the legal American Citizens of CT and so were our federal senators and congressmen. Keeping that in mind why do these representatives stand up for illegals and ignore Americans. Especially seniors.

Seniors some of whom have been paying taxes and into their social security for over 5 decades (50 years).

Yet their average social security payment is less then a combination of welfare, food stamps, housing and SNAP that illegals and people who have never contributed to collect.

If the money removed from our paychecks had been given to us to properly invest or had it been properly invested by the government we probably could retire close to millionaires, just like our representatives do. The average life expectancy for an American is 79.5 years. This means you would only collect SS for about 14 years but worked 50 years for that. However our elected public servants retire from elected positions with full pay and health benefits, why are they allowed this? Also our representatives did not save our money and properly invest it. They have used our money for other things such as foreign aid to help citizens of other countries rather than providing for Americans retirement as we were told it would be used for. It is time we start getting our money back.

Next seniors having been paying into Medicare all their lives and it is still being taken out of their social security payments. Yet the 3 things most seniors need are covered by Husky for illegals, and welfare recipients who have not contributed to it but not covered by medicare, and those are dental, vision and hearing.

In addition we are taxed on our gross pay both federally and state prior to our money being taken out for social security and medicare and then we are taxed again when we receive our social security payments and medicare does not cover our healthcare anywhere near 100%.And again our representatives are covered. This cause seniors to lose their houses, their savings their retirement and more.

It is time We The People elect Representatives who actually Represent the Legal American Taxpaying Citizens. Not illegals, foreign countries, welfare recipients but Americans who have stood tall did their best to Live the American Dream and contributed to America.

Ameicans for Americans !!!

 

Millions of Americans have had their American Dream destroyed through no fault of their own. Hurricane Helene in making landfall killed over 100 people, destroyed homes and businesses roads, bridges farms and more for millions of American Citizens in FL, GA, NC, TN,SC with damage estimates at $160 billion dollars so far.

We give out over $224 billion as foreign aid not counting military assistance a year. All this money comes from US taxpayers and none of it is repaid. We also have politicians wanting to forgive student loans at the expense of taxpayers.

I say it is time for America to put Americans First! Since we US taxpayers through out history have given out trillions of dollars and never receiving any repayment I say it is time for all Foreign aid to stop and the hundreds of billions of dollars go to all the American Citizens and states. So they can rebuild their homes, businesses roads and everything else that needs to be done and that these American Citizens do not have to pay back cent of this money just as foreign countries never have to pay it back. It is Americans taking care of Americans. This will keep insurance companies in business with no need to raise rates skyhigh to recoup their losses. It will get towns, cities and states going again without having to raise taxes and further hurt the American Citizens. It would work by having the people file insurance claims with their agencies and those agencies would confirm the damage costs and then checks would be sent to the contractors once the work was completed. Also, since we would be using money already set aside in the budget for foreign aid there is no reason for any tax increase. Let those countries who have been living off the American Taxpayer for years find some other country to help them or cut their own budget.

I now call upon our Elected Public Servants to do what they were elected to do and that is take care of Americans First by passing this aid package.

If any Elected American Public Servant does not back this taking care of Americans First they need to be voted out of office or impeached.

So please anyone reading this call your Senator, Congressman and tell them to stand up for American and Americans.

Forcing us on drugs

 Are China, Bill Gates and other countries and companies buying US farmland to stop producing as much healthy natural foods, blueberries, cherries and more to prevent us from staying healthy naturally and force us on drugs? Also are they spraying these plants with poisons that will sicken us and force us on drugs so as Bill Gates said they can control the population with vaccines and drugs?

Gun laws don't work

 Guns do not murder, people murder and use whatever method they choose, should we outlaw hammers, baseball bats, rolling pins and more, oh and let’s not forget the people who use drugs to give overdoses. Shouldn’t all medications in a house be required by law to be locked up like guns so children or the mentally unstable can’t get them? Criminals don’t follow laws and prison sentences should be a lot longer and harder. Since owning and bearing arms is a U.S. Constitutional Right I don’t understand how states can force us to apply and pay for a permit to exercise a Constitutional Right. That being said I think that if a “permit” is required then a Honorable Discharge (DD214) from the U.S. Military as long as the person has not had a felony arrest should be all the individual needs to carry a weapon anywhere in the USA. All veterans were train in the safe use of them and active duty personnel carry them every day in America. In addition all Veterans swore an Oath to Defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic and that Oath has no expiration date and allowing them to carry weapons helps us be prepared for an invasion. Japanese Admiral Yamamoto said they would not invade the US in WWII because there would be a gun behind every tree and blade of grass. It is time we follow the U.S. Constitution, and stop coddling criminals with short jail times and more.

Time to stepm up Veterans!

 

U.S. Veterans have been defending the Constitution since it was written, we have successfully defended it on countless battlefields across the globe. While we have been successful against foreign enemies we are close to losing to domestic adversaries. They trained us in the weapons of war but neglected to train us in the most important weapon to protect the Constitution and that is the voting booth. Politicians have no qualms about putting veterans at risk. They have quite a few qualms in giving Veterans the medical benefits they have earned. Elected Public servants (politicians) make sure they have they best benefits in the world from an “temporary” position. Illegals and welfare recipients can go to any hospital. Veterans can't. Both parties are more interested in maintaining the status quo and their cushy jobs so one hand washes the other and they both stay dirty. It's time for us to learn that “new weapon” the Voting booth. There are 21.8 million veterans if we all cover each others back as we learned to do in Basic and each get one other person to vote with us, we vote as a block for Veteran candidates/supporters we can take back America. We will equal both parties. It's time we start voting not as Black, White, Hispanic, Republican or Democrat but as Veterans. Pay attention to who is running, are they a Vet, are they honest, if they are incumbents do they support Vets and the Constitution? The only reason we have lost benefits and have to beg for help is we have forgotten to stand together as Veterans and vote as such with friends and family members who support us. We need to defend the Constitution in the voting booth the same way generations of us have on the battlefield.

Equal Taxes

 Just a question.  Why are taxes based on a percentage of your earnings?  Since we all receive the same police protection, fire protection, road repair and other things it would be fair to just have a flat tax that is paid no matter what you earn.  I mean if you go to a store, or anywhere you pay the same price no matter your income shouldn't that be the same for taxes?  This would definitely force our elected public SERVANTS and civil servants to get the budget under control and stop with all these pensions, grants, welfare foreign aid and more.  We need to take back America they are not our rulers they are our servants time they are treated that way and reminded or removed. 

Freedom Disappearing

 The biggest issue in CT the US and probably all the other states is group of elected and civil SERVANTS who have ignored or don't care that they are to be our Representatives and Servants not our Rulers! The amount of rules and regulations put out by alphabet agencies that have not been approved, voted on or even mentioned to We the People the Legal Citizens which they are supposed to do is staggering. These rules and regulations have fines and punishments attached to them which makes them Laws which they are not because they have not been presented to the citizens of CT or voted on by our elected public Servants. Also why do they tell us when we can use our property, beaches, forests, parks and more? These belong to We the People not the Government it is our property and our choice and they continue to take away our Freedom. It is almost like when England ruled the colonies and I think if they are allowed to continue in this way they will reach their goal of ruling us like North Korea is ruled. It is 1776.

Electric vehicles are to control you

 

Electric vehicles are about control. They can shutdown the electric grid or the vehicle with the push of a button. Also they can track you, and the distance you can travel is very limited with a long charging time. They want you in these or on buses trains or planes so the can tell you when and where you can travel and monitor you the entire time. Now don’t forget the charging of the EV is done by diesel powered generators so how are you protecting the environment.

If you really wanted to protect the environment wouldn’t you have solar panels on the roof of the vehicle and a alternator designed to recharge the battery powered by the wheels? As you drove the battery charged just like gas powered vehicles. But wait if you were able to do this and not be controlled by the power grid what would be the purpose of an EV? Also don’t forget the lithium in the batteries is toxic and very difficult to safely dispose of. Oh and we are not running out of gas.

EVs Destroy roads

EVs weigh hundreds and sometimes thousands pounds more than gas vehicles they will destroy the roads quicker than gas vehicles how much are the governments going to charge them for the repairs? Since gas cars pay a gas tax which supposedly goes for road repair how much will EV pay?

Distacted driving

 

This is regarding the number of wrong way drivers and rollovers that have been occurring with increasing frequency.

I feel these accidents will not be stopped by special signs on exit ramps or by increased DUI stops because they for the most part in my opinion are not caused by drunk drivers but rather distracted drivers.  Especially when you look at the times of the accidents, normally they are not after the bars have closed.

I also have noticed that the police will tell us when the driver was drunk or under the influence of drugs, so it is interesting that rarely if ever I can't remember ever reading a reason other than DUI do the police provide that reason for the wrong way drivers and rollovers.  So what is the reason?  I have a retirement job that allows me watch people driving down the road and pulling into a parking lot and the percentage of people I see holding a cell phone to their ear or staring down towards their lap is about 35%, that does not include those on a phone call using a hands free device so you know they are not paying full attention to their driving.  Last is paying attention to the "TV" screen on the dashboard of new vehicles that has replaced the radio.

My question that I feel would be an interesting investigation is why we are not told when it is cell phone use/distracted driving that caused the accident.  With all the apps and features on the phones I'm sure that the police could check the time of the accident against the last time the cell phone was in use.  If they do, why don't they tell us?  If they don't, why not?  My thought on why they don't either check or if they do why they don't tell us is because it could possibly leave the cell phone providers liable for the accident the same as bars and liquor stores are held liable for DUIs.  If I am correct in this assumption, who told the police not to look into the cell phone use as the cause of the accident and why did they tell them.  Is money changing hands?  In this day and age with what goes on in politics causing the stock prices of cell phone providers to fall because of this liability could provide a reason to keep it quiet.

Or which I find hard to believe the police never thought of checking the last time the cell phone was used compared to the time of the accident.

Bring back a goverment by the people

 

Inflation is causing American families to cut back on purchases and being unable to save for retirement, vacations or other dreams they have. Why? Simple they can’t go to their employer and demand more pay to cover the inflation. They are also lucky if their employer is still in business in CT with all the additional taxes, fees and regulations our employees (the government) has placed upon them.

Please note while corporations have had to cut back on essentials, employees, pay, benefits and more. Our employees the government elected public servants and civil servants have not cut back on anything. They treat the individual and corporate taxpayers as ATMs and care little to nothing about what the increased taxes and fees do to their finances and their ability to achieve their version of the American Dream.

If the government was a private corporation it would not make it a year. It is so top heavy with management who do nothing but collect pay, healthcare and pensions.

One example is DEEP:

They have 18 boards and commissions, just one of the boards/commission ( CT State Emergency Response Commission) has 9 commissioners. Also 9 appointed by the governor why?

My solution is to bring in temporarily managers from private corporations that have absolutely no connections to the CT government no contracts and no people having large percentage of stock in the corporations, put them in charge of setting up the commissions and boards I’d bet they would cut the number of so called commission/boards and managers by over 70%.

The other area that needs to be brought under control are the alphabet agencies. These agencies impose fees, fines, and charge for permits without any of it going before We The People or our elected public servants/representatives. We are supposed to be a country of Laws that are voted on by the legal citizens and their representatives not rules and regulations put in place by civil servants who were not elected to represent us.

If we want to live the American Dream and to help our children and grandchildren live theirs we need to take back control of our lives, our state and our country. We do this by showing up in person on election day and voting out all the incumbents, since they have proven they care nothing about us, our finances our Freedom or our lives. We vote in people who will actually represent us and do what we want. Not what corporations, private interest groups and other countries want them to do. We also through popular vote put in place term limits, and require popular vote for all tax increases and shutdown the alphabet agencies.

It is time to return Connecticut and America to the country our Forefathers started and follow the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Outlaw Public Service Unions

 Time to outlaw public service or government unions!!! They are nothing more than a illegal bought, paid off, voting block.  Also why do we need unions with all the laws passed to protect worker?  If those laws aren't good why were they passed and if they are good and protect legal workers who actually do their jobs why do we need unions?  Probably to protect lazy slugs who get the same raise as those who actually do their jobs and to keep a certain political party in office.  Hey vote for me and I'll raise your pay.  Why do the servants/employees of the legal American Taxpayers get pensions and healthcare the majority of their employers the taxpayers don't?  Easy answer they get those things in payment for their votes.  Time this ends and the government goes back to actually Representing the Legal American Taxpayer!!!
