http:///www.iamoneangryamerican.com letter from a woman in Arizona. She writes an open letter to our nation's leadership: I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:
One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.
Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.
Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.
Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!
Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.
Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.
Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why what do you have against shareholders making a profit?
Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.
Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.
Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.
Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

  • Ever man, woman, & child have the opportunity to be in the top one percent if they choose. I am not there but i have worked hard & I have a great life. The main reason Corporations are taking jobs over seas is because of our own Government is. Government is the problem. Open up free market and let the business thrive and they will come back to America. People need to quite crying about their situation, get to work, and make it happen for them selfs. Quite looking for a hand out.

  • thomas paine supported the redistribution of the wealth and francis bellamy who wrote the pledge of allegiance was a christian socialist. argument could be made that socialism is kind of american. thomas paine wanted land owners to pay taxes so people over 18 would get money.

  • Free enterprise is one thing..Fair is another. 23 M for big corporationsand great healthcare for the top 1 percent and the rest of the workers watch slave labor overseas taking jobs is not what America is about. A better life...Tell that to the homeless vet lying under a bridge. others what the greedy refuse to do.

  • 1 st off thank your Husband for his service to this great Country. I am not a right-winger I am an independent. The problem is too much Government What have they done that has worked so far? We need free enterprise to work. That is what America is about. Why do people from every nation come here? To make a better life for their families. Free enterprise not the Governemnt. This Administration does not care about your Health Care. They want the Power & if they get it watch out.

  • Check out my video on this crazy crybaby.

    Get over the fact that the majority of America cannot stand the right winged

    extremist. Glenn Beck is crazy, You must be if you listen to him. By the way my husband fought with the 101 st in Nam.

    He fought for the costitution and unamerican ideas like yours.

  • Looks like nader has been drinking some Kool-aid

  • I highly doubt that any of the claims you make are true. You're obviously just some angry redneck clinging to your guns and religion trying to look cool by using internet acronyms. P.S. you do realize that this entire argument is completely pointless, as neither of will ever have the same perspective regarding anything in the world. I will always find you to be a hate-filled douche and you will always find me to be some young dickhead. Let's just end this and agree to disagree.

  • Being YOUNG and stupid make you look like a fool when you obviously aren't old enough to know ANYTHING yet. I have a masters degree little boy, I think I have read and UNDERSTOOD many more books than days you've been alive! SHFU junior! LOL

  • How does stating the obvious make me dumb? Besides, how have liberals been "pushing" you? You're the morons who keep making claims about how fascist, socialist, and un-American this administration is without even understanding your own hypocrisy. Go read a book, and NOT one by a FOX News anchor or an archaic Jewish tome.

  • 22 and still dumb as a rock! ROFLMAO California is quickly becoming little mexico anyway! Grow up sonny and grow a brain!
