I'm asked this a lot. SSI is pretty much gone! But what if I told you, those over the age of 43 to 45 can still get it? I have a plan in place and ready to roll out. Congress (yes congress) and used that money for years. They do this with most every program. The replace the money with IOU's. I have a plan that will actually do away with the SSI for the younger generation and still be able to set them up on a private ticket. Meanwhile, back at the ole farm, the people that currently get it and those over the age of 43 will still qualify. So if your in that age bracket, you still have it.

Come by and see me on Tuesday nights or if you want a 1 on 1, call me at 832.329.5313. I will set up a time to come see you. I can explain it in detail.

To answer your question in summary, Yes, you will have it.

Mr. Smith, they tell me that I won't be getting my social security even if I live to age 65. This is not the deal I grew up with. I have paid the social security tax for twenty nine years with the promise that I would start getting my money back at age sixty five. I feel ripped off by the changes they are making. If you address this rip off of the taxpayers you will have my vote. Thanks.

Mr. Smith,

Not sure what you want to convey, look at the copy below: Emphasis on the second dot (point). Are you saying "vote for their future" or "vote or your future"?

98 % of Congress gets re-elected every cycle. Don't continue to put them back in. Make a difference, Make a change!

•Bringing back the U.S. Constitution and ending all votes for bills outside of the Constitution.

•Encouraging people to vote or their future.

•Restoring individual freedoms.

•A smaller federal government.

The bill has passed!

It will steal your freedom.

It will invade your private life.

It will raise your taxes.

It will ration your health care.

Even the Republicans have thier own version of ObamaCare Lite, which is just as bad. We don't have two political parties in this country, we have one party which can be refered to as "The Big Government Party". The Republican side continues to assault civil liberties, while the democrats continue to assault commercial liberties. However, both parties are drunk on power, and neither is even remotely interested in your freedom.

Where in the Constitution does it mandate or authorize that the govenment can regulate everyones health care? It is obovious that our non-representing representives do not give a damn about the Constitution, and in fact work hard every day to undermine it, bury it, and trample it freely without a second thought, and with it the Bill of Rights. Congress seems to recognize no limits on its power and when congress takes away our freedoms, they may well be gone forever. Welcome to the USSA or United Socialist States of Amerika. Just how bad do things have to get before YOU do something? The time to act is NOW. Make your views known to your state representives.

Bills and resolutions have been introduced in at least 36 state legislatures seeking to limit or oppose various aspects of the reform plan through laws or state constitutional amendments, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Make sure that your state is counted among them. For example, Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, says the proposal will double the number of Medicaid recipients in his state and cost an additional $24.3 billion over the next decade. Can you afford this?

The 10th Amendment, which says "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states." This may be a proof that the U.S. government cannot set their healthcare laws.

What can we do is the question most often asked.

We can boycott, we can protest, and we can strike.

NationStrike213 is set for April 15-18

Srike2010 is set for Monday, May 10, 2010

However, the one thing we can all do is to PARTICIPATE IN OUR GOVERNMENT in the coming November elections. I would hope that you all will entertain the thought of throwing thos non-representing representives out of office, and infuse Congress with new blood, new ideas, and maybe, just maybe, individuals that respect and honor the Constitution of the United States of America. God Bless and just do something.

The Democrats are assaulting the very foundations of our democracy and trampling the Constitution and it's principles in the mud. As the debate on Obamacare reaches the long, bloody end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is facing a political debalacle and nightmare. Thank the Lord she may not have the 216 votes necessary to pass the Senate's health care bill in the House.

Hence, Mrs. Pelosi and her congressional Democratic bullies are seriously considering using a procedural ruse to circumvent and bypass the traditional constitutional process. Led by Rep. Louise M. Slaughter, New York Democrat and chairman of the House Rules Committee, the new plan - called the "Slaughter Solution" - is not to pass the Senate version on an up-or-down vote. Rather, it is to have the House "deem" that the legislation was passed and then have members vote directly on a series of amendments to fix the things it does not like.

Attempting to "deem" the Health Care bill passed when it has not actually been voted on is not Constitutional. Article 1, Section 7:

"All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law."

This is not even considering the fact that this legislation will cost the American tax payer over 1 trillion dollars to implement, and an estimated cost of 940 billion dollars over 10 years, while saving an estimated 138 billion in the general budget over the same time period. HELLO POLITICIANS, did you fail basic math? Not even considering the implementation cost, that comes to 802 billion dollar LOSS over 10 years.

Why would Congressional Democrats, and House Speaker Pelosi, with the blessing of Mr. Obama, tread down such a dangerous unprecedented path? This would enable House Democrats to avoid going on the record voting for provisions in the Senate bill - the "Cornhusker Kickback," the "Louisiana Purchase," the tax on high-cost so-called "Cadillac" insurance plans - that are reviled by the public or labor-union bosses. If the reconciliation fixes pass, the House can send the Senate bill to President Obama for his signature without ever having had a formal up-or-down vote on the underlying legislation. Many Democrats could claim they opposed the Senate bill while allowing it to pass. This would be an unprecedented violation of our democratic norms and procedures, established since the inception of this republic.

The Slaughter Solution is a bloody axe aimed at the heart of our system of checks and balances in an attempt to destroy the Constitution and the American way of life. It would enable the Democrats to establish an ominous and dangerous precedent: The lawmaking process can be rigged to ensure the passage of any legislation without democratic accountability or even a congressional majority. It is a quick trip to tyranny and dictatorship. James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of the founding fathers must be turning in thier graves.

Obamacare is opposed by nearly two-thirds of the public, more than 60 percent of independents and almost all Republicans and conservatives. It has badly polarized the country, dangerously divided it along ideological and racial lines. Even a majority of Democrats in the House are deeply reluctant to support it. Numerous states - from Idaho to Virginia to Texas - have said they will sue the federal government should Obamacare become law. These states will declare themselves exempt from its provisions, tying up the legislation in the courts for years to come, even if Mr. Obama is successful in stacking the Supreme Court in his favor.

It is time Americans drew a line in the sand. Mr. Obama and his thugs cross it at thier own peril. The Slaughter Solution would replace the rule of law with arbitrary one-party rule, hardly a democracy, but instead a dictatorship. It violates the entire basis of our constitutional government which meets the threshold of "high crimes and misdemeanors." In the coming November elections, We the People have a responsibility to vote these so called representatives out of office. For if our representitives are unable to represent thier constituents, then some of us remember the other founding document of our Republic, The Declaration of Indpendence, which says, in part:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
