I was just reading "Give me liberty or give me death", and I found this great quote..."Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?" -Patrick Henry

Isn't it about time someone knows what is going on in the BOARD ROOMS of America??He doesn't want to seize control of companies--we the people just need to know and see the evil they are up to!!The problem is so many in Congress are bought off by these companies---they don't want the dirt to fall out of the closet!! Dodd are you listening. Beware of the conserevative democrats that are now waving a flag!! Write tour legislators and tell them it is time to support the President. Insurance companies of America--here we come!!

"The Federal Reserve is widely considered to be the leading candidate for this assignment. But some critics warn that this could conflict with the Fed's other responsibilities, particularly its control over monetary policy."HELLO IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION! Yes, lets give the Fed Reserve all our assets, lets give them total control of every asset we ever worked for or inherited from our forefathers. This is a frickin nightmare unfolding right in front of us! Watch them cram this thru, this was their intentions all along, we're being set up people! If congress gives them this one. Its lights out for Amerika. God help us!

Here is what was being done with the revenues. You can see in the chart alone what was happening to the deficit before the 06 election. But number are numbers so take a look.<a class="user" href="http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/bush-deficit-vs-obama-deficit-in-pictures/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/bush-deficit-v ...</a>
