Open Letter from a Reader

Well an old Corporate client of mine in Florida used to tell me when I called him early in the morning, when I asked him how he was doing (at age 75), “I’m doing great, it’s a great day, I am 6’ up rather than the alternative. I could be 6’ under”.

Here I am today, and I feel the same way this morning.  First, I am 6’ up, and Second, yesterday, we won one for the Gipper!  Yes, finally voters woke up!  The people in Massachusetts (over 2,000,000 voters) have set precedent, at least since 1952.  This Senate seat has been Democratic since that date.  The Kennedy Family held it for years, until the death of the world renowned senior statesman and Senator Kennedy this summer.

The last few months were a fight between the Republican Underdog, Scott Brown, vs.  the liberal Democrat and Massachusetts Attorney General, Martha Coakley.  For a  long time Coakley was ahead in the Polls by about 20 to 30% and Brown was down, but in the last few weeks Brown started climbing.  In the last week, they were in a dead heat for the Senate Seat.  Last night, Coakley called Brown and conceded defeat.  This is a coup for several  reasons.  1.  Registered republicans are only 12% of the total  registered voters.  The Dems outnumber Repubs about 3.5 to 1.  Independents were in the majority.  “Greta” on “FOX” said last night, she was ahead until the Louisiana Deal, the Nebraska Deal, and the Union Deal, was this a “coincidence”?  I think not!  I think this Vote was a direct expression of the dissatisfaction of all of us “average American Voters”!  In other words, “Enough is Enough!”

This was a major vote and its implications are now far reaching, not only today, but in the years to come.  First and foremost, Brown becomes the 41st Vote, enough to break the 60th vote lock the Dems have on the Senate.  This is  important for several reasons.  The Senate Dems, especially their leadership, are out of touch with the Voters.  The leadership has their  own agenda,  and that is higher taxes and legislation that simply won’t work, i.e.  the health care boondoggle and Cap and Trade.  Have you read the Bills?  I have not read the entire Health Care Bill, but I have read many direct quotes and excerpts, by noted commentators and Constitutional  Attorneys, and it is appalling.  Yes, Grandma does get death counseling, and the Dems in Washington decide which of  you get health care!  If you have Lupus, forget it!  You are toast, because the Bill classifies it with Aides as an autoimmune disease, did you know that?.

Look, if  you cannot now afford to  pay a health care premium out of  your monies you earn, how then can you pay a 6% tax as a penalty.  Yes the Dems say this is not a tax, but who is relegated to collect it, the IRS!  When the IRS comes to your door, is it for a social visit?  This is what the Dems want you to believe and to ram  down our throats.  Now, as a result of this closed door Deal,  just struck at the White House, Unions are exempt from this “tax”, so ask yourself (even though I  believe in the good that Unions do for their membership), why do we, the average U.S. Citizen now have to subsidize them and to now cover the short-fall of revenue that would be created by this “exemption”?  Does this smack of favoritism for getting the Union Membership’s vote?  A sweetheart deal, or what?  You decide.

Yes, again, by this  Bill, we have to cover and pay for all health care costs of the illegal immigrants that have illegally entered the U.S. and have remained here without deportation.  Well, do all the foreign countries allow our U.S. Citizens who enter their country illegally, the same protections?  No, we  get jailed, sentenced to hard labor in prison,  or simply executed with a sword.  So much for what we call in law, the Latin Phrase, “Quid Pro Quo” (something for something).

Yesterday, the People voted!  This was a Major showing that we, including the Massachusetts’ voters, are not the stupid imbeciles that the Washington Power Group  think we are,  i.e. their “sheep”, and they are our  Shepherd, and We Shall Not Want, for Death and Taxes shall follow us everywhere, and to make us all Poorer than Better.  Taxes shall forever increase and shall follow us, our Children, and our Grandchildren forever for the rest of our Lives!

No, we are not stupid  nor are we “Brown Shirts”, as Pelosi commented on one Tea Party News clip which showed the  average Mom and Pop,  concerned U.S. Citizens, men, women, and children, all of our “Joe the Plumbers” out there, who love their Country, voicing their concerns over the current spend and tax policies that are going on in Washington.  Hey, Madam Pelosi, we STILL have the First Amendment!  Please take a minute and read this, the First Amendment to our U.S. Constitution, which by the way is still in full force and effect, as this was what our Nation was Founded Upon!  We are not Britain, and the Boston Tea Party, a couple of hundred years ago, brought many changes to our Country all for our Good!

Thank you Scott, for being the Candidate you are, for having the courage to express your beliefs, and of having the guts to oppose the powers to be, and to openly voice your beliefs and to be all of us,  our 41st Vote!

Also, one other  thing, thank you again for using the word “Terrorist”.  Yes, when a person openly targets the U.S. and its citizens with the imminent threat of immediate bodily harm, then “Yes”, by God, you are a terrorist, and nothing short of this!  You should be dealt with swiftly and in a  Military Court.  When you act blatantly to kill us and our innocent citizens, this is an open act of terror and an open act of War.  Bud, you have no rights, and we should not kiss your collective “asses”.  Scott, THANKS for calling a spade a spade and for not mincing words!  Work and Act and Vote to keep our Country and us – Safe!

On a Local, Southern Illinois, Note:  Here we all are very fortunate to have another Scott Brown running for Senate here in Illinois, and that is the Former Judge and now Senatorial Candidate, Don Lowery.  I have known Don for many years, and as a practicing Attorney for over 31 years,  I have been before him on the Bench many, many times.  No matter what type of case and client I had before him, he always gave the correct decision.  He showed no favoritism, preferring one attorney over another because of political beliefs, ideology, or training and experience.  He did not favor one litigant over another,  either.  All got their “fair” shot at his Bench.  Believe it or not, Attorneys do not always represent the client that is right, as often times the clients’ facts are wrong, they have the inferior position,  and/or the law is directly opposed to the attorney’s client and his position.  So as attorneys,  we often do not “win”.  Don has always spoken his mind both in Court and on the Street.  He is a  candidate, like Brown, who is for the People and not for the Washington Power Group.  With his Military Background, his legal education, his prosecutorial experience, and his time on the Bench, he knows, within his heart, what is “right” and what is “wrong” for us, the average hardworking American who is trying desperately to keep our collective “heads” above water, to feed our families on a daily basis, and to provide for an education for our children.  Don will not be a “rubber stamp” for the Powers that Be in Washington, he will be another “Scott Brown”!  Good Luck Don!

THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN, NOW LET WASHINGTON LISTEN.  MORE PEOPLE WILL VOTE IN NOVEMBER AND SPEAK OUT.  A “NEW CHANGE” IS COMING, THE POWER GRAB IN WASHINGTON NOW HAS BRAKES ON THEIR OUT OF CONTROL TRAIN.  LOOK AT EACH INCUMBENT AND THEIR CHALLENGERS,  SCRUTINIZE THEIR QUALIFICATIONS, THEIR TRACK RECORDS, AND THEIR VIEWS AND POSITIONS ON THE KEY ISSUES.  DO THEY WANT MORE BIG GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES, OR NOT?  LET’S PUT MORE BRAKES ON THE TRAIN CARS THIS COMING NOVEMBER!

Thanks,
