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.
