Wake Up America - Jon McNaughton

We are enslaved to our debt. Wake up, America! Before it is too late...

Every man, woman and child in America is enslaved to the national debt. As an artist, I have painted my vision of the dire circumstances that surround us. Now, more than ever, each American must make a choice: we must unlock the shackles that enslave us, or will we lose our freedom. It is my hope and prayer that America will "wake up" before it is too late.

Those who are familiar with my work know that I like to use symbolism and metaphor to engage the viewer. See if you can find and decipher the many symbols in this image by visiting http://www.jonmcnaughton.com

In the painting I have intentionally hidden six keys that represent solutions that will release us from the chains of economic and political bondage. Find these keys and share them with as many Americans as you can. If we don't "wake up" future generations may not know what it means to be free.

-Jon McNaughton, political artist

President Obama, as of September 15, 2012, has signed 138 Executive Orders during his Administration. You wrote: "For starters, you may want to check out some of the over 900 executive orders signed by the president his first 3 years in office." Where did you get your figure of over 900 executive orders? Please do some research to find the real facts before you go ahead and post nonsense. Thanks!

Know what his first signed executive order was? Executive Order 13489 It states that all his records are sealed and that only he may release them. That was the most important thing to this man. So important that he did it his first day in office. With in hours actually of being sworn in. Still think all the "birther" folks are nuts? He sure as shit has something to hide.

Funny how the deficit is shrinking at its fastest rate in over 20 years. Also funny how Obama cut taxes his first four years in office, and recently has cut spending. But you know, he's quite the commie......

This is bullshit!!! What is the crushing dept your preaching about? Trillions on illegal wars or giving taxpayers money to multinational corporations in the form of subsidies? Or is it Social Security that all of us have paid into.Git rid of it,that will solve everything,also get rid of food stamps and the Post office, privatize everything? Let the free market decide!! Well they did,they decided to move to China.WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH.

im not a slave. i dont have to go into work if i dont want to. im free to leave my house. seriously, just because you live in a world that requires you to have money doesnt meen you are a slave. every person in every country riequires money in some shape or form. its not going to be some fake NWO or marshal law that brings america down, it will be our people getting stockholme syndrome and feeling guilty for simply being who we are that will bring our country down.
