Thanks Jen, yeah 12160.INFO, hello.  

 

I hope to dedicate more and more time to this campaign. There is much to learn, digest, formulate, plan, then take action.  I am in the learning stages now and involved in some recruitment activity.  I have posted this group in the comment section of relevant articles and  youtube videos targeting readers/viewer I believe would resonate with this campaign like we did. 

 

I wish I could do this full-time because the goals of this group need to be accomplished in a very short period of time. 

 

Perhaps if everyone could add a link to other forums they are involved with and in the comment sections of relevant articles and videos we may be able to achieve exponential growth. 

 

My next plan of attack is to go after influential people with a large following. I encourage others to do the same.  Lets keep plugging away at this and perhaps soon (1 month) the group with grow at a much faster pace.

Our government for the most part have sold their collective souls to the devil and we are reaping what they sow.  Plus this whole division and fight among party lines is a joke to me as most of us can see that it is mostly BS.   Our President is middle management at best, we are obviously not his boss, even though we pay him, so we cannot fire him in theory.  However if Congress tried to impeach him perhaps we will then provoke the sleeping masses to action once their is hard evidence that there is NO democracy, constitutional rights, and liberty..The idea of their existence is just to keep most people pacified.  Our country has been insidiously stolen from us over the years while we focused on 'shiny objects' strategically placed by the corporate scumbags, foreign governments, and special interests who have been conspiring to take over the USA and the world.  However the fight is not over as the glimmer of hope for our future are in people like the members here at 12160.com.  thank you everyone for doing your part to stop the abuse. In the end, win or lose, that is something you can be very proud of....imho.

Taking back the FDA 

By Marcia Angell  |  February 26, 2007

Excerpt from article:

 

But in 1992, Congress put the fox in the chicken coop. It passed the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, which authorizes drug companies to pay "user fees" to the FDA for each brand-name drug considered for approval. Nearly all of the money generated by these fees has been earmarked to speed up the approval process.

In effect, the user fee act put the FDA on the payroll of the industry it regulates. Last year, the fees came to about $300 million, which the companies recoup many times over by getting their drugs to market faster.

 

IT IS IN GOVERNMENTS BEST INTEREST TO PROTECT BIG PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.

 

The FDA now behaves as though the pharmaceutical industry is its user, not the public. Fortunately, the user fee law is subject to renewal every five years, and 2012 IT IS COMING UP FOR RENEWAL!!!

PUTTING IT ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE

Before the results of the last election were final we saw Republicans celebrating exactly like the Democrats celebrated when they won control of Congress and when Obama was elected. Now the conservatives are acting the same way, as if some huge change has just occurred and the "Republican are going to save us!" When has either party ever saved us?! Seriously folks. The Republicans are just as responsible for the nightmares we find ourselves in as the Democrats!

There wasn't much more turnover of incumbents than usual, which is typically about 15%. This means that 85% of the incumbents that ran again, the same people that have betrayed out trust so many times we can't count are sill in office! It appears that most of the turnover occurred because about 40 people decided to retire.

Once the results are final I'll bet, of all the incumbents that ran, most of them got to keep their jobs. Even if there is a bit more turnover than usual, we still threw away another golden opportunity to hold them ALL accountable. WE wasted yet another chance to FIRE THEM ALL!

In the next election the powers-that-be will do their best to fixate everyone's attention on the totally controlled presidential race. Most everyone will ignore the heart of the problem, the Congress and become all caught up in the presidential contest. The powers-that-be will once again con everyone into believing the most important thing is who the El Presidente is. Folks, it's a CON. The Congress has more power than the executive branch and . . .

The President has no Constitutional authority to do most of the things they claim they can do. They can only ask the Congress to do what they want. The Congress could have stopped everything that's happening; the wars, the Wall Street takeover, the TRILLION DOLLAR defense budget they just passed. Our so-called representatives have sold us out so many times it makes my head spin and what do we all do? We not only let them keep their jobs, but you watch, they will most likely give themselves a raise, like they always do, for the fine job of screwing us they've done over the last two years. The way we hold our representatives accountable is to let them keep their $174,000 a year jobs so they can stick it to us for another two years! In case you're wondering, that's $14,500 a month! And you watch. One of the first things they will probably do in the next Congress is to give themselves another raise! Last time they immediately gave themselves a $4,500 a year raise. When was the last time you got a raise like that?

Listen. If we are ever going to get a grip on our government, we're going to have to start acting like the employers that we are. The Congress critters work for US, not the central bankers and transnational corportions. What would you do If you owned a company and none of your employees listened to you, they lied to you, didn't do the jobs you gave them to do, and in fact, were actually working for your competition and selling your company down the river as fast as they could?  I don't think you'd keep them on and give them a raise!

Well, that's exactly what we've been doing, only in this case, your company is our Federal Government, and your employees are the 435 members in the House of Representatives and the 100 members of the Senate, virtually all of them working for the transnational corporations (the competition) and they have already achieved a hostile takeover of our government on every level and are using the powers of our own government against us in order to take over our entire nation.

What the heck happened to that thing called "the wisdom of the American people?"   You don't reward employees that betray you.  YOU FIRE THEM!  It's the most obvious and immediate remedy.  And you don't worry that their replacement may turn out to be as bad.  In fact, it's much less likely the replacements will be as bad when they know you will not tolerate such things, that you will not hesitate to fire anyone that lies and betrays your trust.  Employees are far more likely to toe the line and actually do their jobs as best they can when they know they can't get away with anything less.

Of course, no analogy is perfect.  This one breaks down in the sense that a company couldn't actually fire everyone all at once unless the entire company shut down.  Lucky for us, our Congress isn't engaged in actually producing goods or services (the bureaucracies Congress has set up handle all government services).  All Congress does is enact laws and authorize spending.  It's just the legislative branch of government.  We could easily go without any new laws authored by "corporate/special interest" for quite some time.  So in this case, firing a large number of traitorous Congressional employees is imminently doable and quite frankly is the only thing we can do to slam the brakes on the corporate driven freight train that is railroading all of us into a nation ruled by corporate colonialism.

There are people we have elected to Congress who have been there 10, 20, 30, 40, even over 50 years! Our Congress has been betraying our trust and selling us out for generations.  They not only suffer no consequences for what they've done; they've benefited greatly from their wheeling and dealing.  They take an oath to protect our best interests and defend our rights as guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and yet they make a mockery of that oath.

Republicans and Democrats take the exact same oath of office and very few of them take it seriously. 

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

There are several very good reasons we make them all take this oath. The primary reason is to make it CRYSTAL CLEAR that the job we're hiring them to do is to make sure nothing unconstitutional happens. I read a quote the other day attributed to Senator John Glenn in which he said somthing to the effect, "If we had to apply the Constitution to all the legislation that passes before us, we wouldn't be able to pass anything."

This is the whole point of the Constitution. If followed, it limits the ability of the Federal government to tax, regulate and control our lives. THIS is the job we're hiring representatives to do for us. We're not hiring them to crank out endless streams of legislation - most of which only benefits selfish private interests.

Also, strict adherence to the Constitution is the ONLY thing that makes it a LOT harder for those with the most wealth to seize the powers of government and use it for their own selfish purposes.  Our Congress has totally abdicated their responsibilities and handed the powers of government over to corporate interests that have absolutely no allegiance to this nation, to the Constitution, and certainly not to playing fair.  Both major political parties are complicit.  They have shredded the Constitution and Bill of Rights and are about to blow the Constitutional Confetti into the air as they celebrate "closing the deal" with their "real employers," the transnational corporate interests that have orchestrated the whole mess.

The dominant ideologies of the most destructive and powerful transnational corporations are predatory and tyrannical in nature.  The notion that they are even remotely interested in such things as "free trade," or democracy flies in the face of basic common sense.  The corporations wreaking the most havoc on this planet, the central banks, the military, medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and energy industrial complexes, have set up monopolies and cartels by using the powers of government to legislate and regulate the industries they wish to control.  The people inclined to abuse their wealth and power do what they always have done throughout history.  They TAKE the most, give the least, and don't give a damn about the rest of humanity.

There is a mountain of evidence, a small fraction of it is posted on this web site, to prove that powerful transnational corporations, through their control of our election process, the legislative powers of government, the courts, the international treaty process, the world's currencies and of course, virtually total control of our mainstream media, have just about totally taken over our country.  If we don't take control of Congress away from them, and fast, by a massive act of civil disobedience like this project is proposing (by not voting the way they want us to), we are simply not going to survive as a nation much longer the way things are going.

What sense does it make to allow the vast majority of people in Congress to remain there for one second longer than absolutely necessary? There is an endless stream of people pissing and moaning about how Congress is screwing us up one side and down the other and yet nobody will do a damn thing to MAKE SURE they all get voted out of office. If we don't make a point of doing just that, most all of them will get reelected yet again and they will most certainly give themselves another raise for the fine job of screwing us they've been doing. Then they will wrap up the task of destroying this country for the International Bankers, the people they really work for. We pay their salaries and the Bankers reap all the rewards. It's INSANE to allow any of the people to remain in Congress!

So here's the bottom line. If you're one of those people that is screaming and yelling and complaining about what the Congress is doing to us all, and you are not helping to make sure the people doing it are removed from office, then what's the point of all the complaining? At the very least, don't you think holding them accountable should mean the people WE KNOW ARE BETRAYING US lose their seat in Congress?

If most people continue to vote the way they usually do, in a way that allows most incumbents to be reelected, how are we holding any of them accountable for anything? We need your help to convince enough voters to vote differently, to deliberately vote for an incumbent's strongest competitor in order to make sure the incumbent will be voted out of office. We need you to help us convince enough voters to Vote for America in the upcoming election, not a political party.

We can totally hijack the upcoming election and use the
power of our votes to effect sweeping change NOW!
