I am one of the one million people who signed the petition that was delivered to the white house today protesting Obama's health care plan.. and I thought some of you might find that this letter below hits the nail right on the head.. I couldn't have said it better! Shirley H This lady has it nailed. We need more like her and all of you. Lets stop this runaway government. Read it all and get inspired. We are the people. They work for us. This affects all of us, all parties. Subject: We The People Are Coming. Janet Contreras, 53 Year Old Woman In Arizona The following letter read on Glenn Beck's show is rapidly circulating around the country. Many Americans everywhere identify with this 53 year old woman. She has given us a voice. Please forward to your friends. June 18, 2009 10:01 PM The woman who sent the long email letter below to Glenn Beck made her name known to him in a telephone interview the next night. She is Janet Contreras, a 53 year old woman in Arizona, a citizen fed up with the House, Senate, Administration, Democrats, Republicans. During the interview she said "I don't want this. I don't want this fight, Glenn. I don't have the time, energy or financial resources for it but that no longer matters. It no longer matters if I'm able or if I want this fight. I have to take it on. It's not a matter of choice anymore, which is why I wrote the letter." "The other part of this is that the invisible people who can and do represent my views need to come out of the shadows. I don't know who they are. They're going to get washed away with the rest of them if they don't have the courage to stand up against the Administration and those members of the House and Senate who are destroying our country and our values." Janet Contreras Phoenix, Arizona Her Letter is below. June 17, 2009 Glenn read this email letter on his Glenn Beck Show. She identified herself in a phone call the next night as Janet Contreras from Arizona. GLENN BECK: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona. She writes an open letter to our nation's leadership: I am 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 solve issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to solve the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me you are there and you are willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask what are my views and issues that I feel so horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties. Well, these briefly are my views and the 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. Never again. Been there, done that, no resolution. PS, I am 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. TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program). The Wall Street handout bill, under President Bush, to address the subprime mortgage crisis, to purchase or insure up to $700 billion of "troubled" assets. Three -- Czars. I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the 37 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 Health Care. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and 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. Start there. Seven -- ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I also want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them 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 taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I want all our money to them stopped. Face up to the allegations against them and get them resolved before getting 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 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 BandAid? 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 take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to criminal investigation of you. Stop hiding things from me. Twelve -- Unprecedented Quick Spending. Stop it now. Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some non politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, militant or violent person. I am a parent and grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy and I'm tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on weekends, be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same - all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave. I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble through a bill you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it, but you expect I should trust you with the debt you have, without caring or conscience, laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure we still can. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of your recent spending. >From my perspective, it seems all of you have gone insane. I also know I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed passed us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford - to spend on you - to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president knows all the buzzwords are unsustainable. No kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with those buzzwords? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like morons. We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long - because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives we will never come for you? We are the former silent majority, all who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone - and we are now closely looking at you and the huge mess you created for all of us. You have awakened in us the patriotic spirit, so strong and so powerful that had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They will surprise you. For every one of us who come after you there will be hundreds more who could not come. Unlike you we have their trust. We will represent them honestly. Rest assured they will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are off. We are very angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes you have made of our constitution. Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us in front of the whole world. If you are not representing the needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear that? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will fire you and they cannot save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Instead of just standing and yelling and writing emails that no one reads these people should stand up and work with the people who are trying to work out a health care plan that will benefit us all. Bad mouthing people on the internet does NO good at all.

I thought what this lady had to say, is what many of us think also.    Too much has been allowed to continue by us THE PEOPLE, I totally agree, this has to stop, and we need our country back...........................sam. I am one of the one million people who signed the petition that was delivered to the white house today protesting Obama's health care plan..  and I thought some of you might find that this letter below hits the nail right on the head.. I couldn't have said it better! Shirley H This lady has it nailed.  We need more like her and all of you.  Lets stop this runaway government.  Read it all and get inspired.  We are the people.  They work for us.           This affects all of us, all parties. Subject: We The People Are Coming. Janet Contreras, 53 Year Old Woman In Arizona   The following letter read on Glenn Beck's show is rapidly circulating around the country.  Many Americans everywhere identify with this 53 year old woman.  She has given us a voice.                             Please forward to your friends.                            June 18, 2009  10:01 PM   The woman who sent the long email letter below to Glenn Beck made her name known to him in a telephone interview the next night.  She is Janet Contreras, a 53 year old woman in Arizona, a citizen fed up with the House, Senate, Administration, Democrats, Republicans.   During the interview she said "I don't want this.  I don't want this fight, Glenn.  I don't have the time, energy or financial resources for it but that no longer matters.  It no longer matters if I'm able or if I want this fight.  I have to take it on.  It's not a matter of choice anymore, which is why I wrote the letter." "The other part of this is that the invisible people who can and do represent my views need to come out of the shadows.  I don't know who they are.  They're going to get washed away with the rest of them if they don't have the courage to stand up against the Administration and those members of the House and Senate who are destroying our country and our values."                                 Janet Contreras                                 Phoenix, Arizona Her Letter is below.   June 17, 2009  Glenn read this email letter on his Glenn Beck Show.  She identified herself in a phone call the next night as Janet Contreras from Arizona.   GLENN BECK:  I got a letter from a woman in Arizona.  She writes an open letter to our nation's leadership: I am 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 solve issues important to me.  The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to solve the issues important to me. There must be someone.  Please tell me who you are.  Please stand up and tell me you are there and you are willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written.  Please stand up now.  You might ask what are my views and issues that I feel so horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties.  Well, these briefly are my views and the 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.  Never again.  Been there, done that, no resolution.  PS, I am 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.  TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program).  The Wall Street handout bill, under President Bush, to address the subprime mortgage crisis, to purchase or insure up to $700 billion of "troubled" assets. Three -- Czars.  I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately.  Fire the 37 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 Health Care.  I will not be rushed into another expensive decision.  Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and 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.  Start there. Seven -- ACORN.  I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census.  I also want them investigated.  I also do not want mandatory escrow fees     contributed to them 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 taking the census over with our taxpayer money.  I want all our money to them stopped.  Face up to the allegations against them and get them resolved before getting 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 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 BandAid?  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 take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends.  It will only be a prelude to criminal investigation of you.  Stop hiding things from me. Twelve -- Unprecedented Quick Spending.  Stop it now.  Take a breath. Listen to the people.  Let's just slow down and get some input from some non politicians on the subject.  Stop making everything an emergency.  Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist.  I am not a community organizer.  Nor am I a terrorist, militant or violent person.  I am a parent and  grandparent.  I work.  I'm busy.  I'm busy and I'm tired.  I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on weekends, be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same - all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave. I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution.  I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course.  What happened?  You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble through a bill you signed into law without knowing what it contained?  I do not.  It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you.  It is a slap in the face.  I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it, but you expect I should trust you with the debt you have, without caring or conscience, laid on all of us and our children.  We did not want the TARP bill.  We said no.  We would repeal it if we could.  I am sure we still can.  There is such urgency and recklessness in all of your recent spending. >From my perspective, it seems all of you have gone insane.  I also know I am far from alone in these feelings.  Do you honestly feel your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans?  We want it to stop.  We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed passed us and forced upon us.  We want our voice back.  You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford - to spend on you - to bring our concerns to Washington.  Our president knows all the buzzwords are unsustainable. No kidding.  How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with those buzzwords?  We don't want your overpriced words.  Stop treating us like morons. We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done.  You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long - because we are coming.  We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives we will never come for you?  We are the former silent majority, all who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone - and we are now closely looking at you and the huge mess you created for all of us.  You have awakened in us the patriotic spirit, so strong and so powerful that had been sleeping too long.  You have pushed us too far.  Our numbers are great. They will surprise you.  For every one of us who come after you there will be hundreds more who could not come. Unlike you we have their trust.  We will represent them honestly.  Rest assured they will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations.  We will use our last few dollars saved.  We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.  We didn't ask for this fight.  But the gloves are off.  We are very angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will.  There are candidates among us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes you have made of our constitution. Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian.  Understand this.  We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us.  Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more.  It is not your power.  It is ours and we want it back.  We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable.  You are dishonest.  As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us in front of the whole world.  If you are not representing the needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired.  Did you hear that?  We no longer care about your political parties.  You need to be loyal to us, not to them.  Because we will fire you and they cannot save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up.  Make your identity known.  You need to make some noise about it.  Speak up.  I need to know who you are.  If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.  We are coming.  Are we coming for you?  Who do you represent?  What do you represent?  Listen.  Because we are coming.  We the people are coming. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DOWN-HOME-CHATTER-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
