What happened to “By the People”?

Posted by Tony on Mar 7, 2010 in Uncategorized

So I have an idea. I think it’s a great idea. I have heard over the years our Senators, Representatives and Congressmen say I vote the way the people in my district want me to vote….. Really? I don’t think so! Thus the idea. It would be so easy for all bills, legislation etc…… to be put online and voted for “by the people” so those who are representing us have a real picture of what the majority want. Sure there are ways to fudge the numbers but there are also ways to prevent that and it’s not expensive. By doing this we could truly find out how the majority feel about really important things such as a public insurance option, bank, auto manufacturer bailouts and any other wasteful spending that our government does on a daily basis. We are on the brink of revolution if our politicians keep going in the direction they are now allowing the likes of AIG and Goldman Sachs to run our government. It’s time to take our country back and let the people govern once again.

New Year Resolution!? NO WAY!

Posted by Tony on Dec 31, 2009 in Community, Employment, Entertainment, Gossip, People, Personal, Uncategorized

I have to say that over the past 35 or so years I have always made some type of New Year Resolution. It may have been to become a Rock Star (lol), Quit Smoking, Get Rich, Lose Weight, Get Healthy or All of the above. I can honestly say that I never kept one single resolution completely. Sure I quit smoking 5 or 6 years ago but it wasn’t because of a resolution and I’m very proud of that fact. But, if it wouldn’t kill me I really enjoyed that nasty habit! As for a Resolution this year!? NO WAY! I’m gonna let life come at me one day at a time and do what’s necessary to live that day to the best of my ability. I still see the economy as bad and not getting better anytime soon. Health care will still be CRAP even if we have a brand new reformed system. Jobs will still be lost and people will still struggle.
MY HOPE ,however, is for the economy to rebound, get a new healthcare system, for medical cost to go down, have more money left in our pockets at the end of the month so we can REALLY start saving for retirement and more jobs to be created and companies to stay or come back to America.
I have to say that I am really thankful this year for my family, friends and great people that keep me employed. I look forward to the New Year and all the challenges and blessings it may bring. To all of you:

HAPPY NEW YEAR
