If I have learned anything from this pandemic, the shutdown is that I have not appreciated all of you, us and our roles near enough, some maybe not at all. I do now!
If you’re a doctor or nurse, thank you. Thank you for all you do. My life is healthier, and will last longer because of you. If you are a police officer or lawyer….(yes even lawyers have essential roles), thank you, there have been times both have been needed.
We can’t all be doctors, nurses, police officers or even lawyers. You are all essential. But guess what, the guys and gals that pick up my trash can’s every week…….they are essential. The dish washers in the restaurants are essential. I like a clean plate when I have an order brought to my table. It’s healthier that way. The people stocking the shelves at the grocery store are essential. It should be pretty obvious by now just how important they/you are! The truckers, the men and women on the loading docks, barbers, daycare workers, janitors/custodians if you prefer, all are essential. And many of those I just mentioned were classified or designated essential by your governor or county executive. Guess what? The guy or gal that waxes my car needs to feed his family. I need my car waxed. He isn’t working right now. Only those that are “taking care of us” are essential and are working? Will that guy that would wax my car would be taking care of me and HIS FAMILY. There are many people in positions like his/hers and many, many others I can’t begin to list here………I don’t have that much space or time. You get my point…….I HOPE! And if you decided suddenly you have read enough………thanks for coming and have a great day.
It is pathetic that anyone person, or business would be classified as non-essential……..therefore you will not be earning a living during a difficult time. Your family despite the perception placed on you are all essential. We should not even be having this conversation. Essential/or non-essential people, jobs and businesses have now been filtered into our daily lives. We are being categorized. This is BS.
WE, EVERYONE OF US ARE ESSENTIAL, WE ALL HAVE ROLES. Without waste management workers, trash would pile up on our streets, in our homes……etc. (Have you seen the mess when trash hasn’t been collected?). Somebody MUST do it. We all have a role and without people in those roles, pieces would be missing. Our community, or nation is like a puzzle, when all the pieces are in place we get the full picture. I can’t drive to my doctor’s appointment if I have no gas (thank you to those who work in the energy industry/gas and oil). I have no car without autoworkers. If you are a professor at a university or a heart surgeon, even the president of the United States, if pieces (roles) are missing from the puzzle WE DON’T FUNCTION. Even if that piece is a janitor, maid, dog catcher (you want a rabid dog in YOUR neighborhood?) or the guy collecting your trash. What kind of mess would you have without them? Thank you to guy that cuts my grass, especially when I couldn’t following my heart surgery. I needed him!
Think about all those you need, count on, ask for help from……how important are they? What would you do without them? Yeah, maybe you do some things yourself, but not all. And there are people out there that need people, that maybe you don’t necessarily need.
When they say “we are in this together”, we have always been in this together. It’s why they call it a community, a nation……..and in this country it is one nation. There are some that would like to take that away from us.
A university professor, a doctor ……… earn more than the trash collector (I mean no offense if I am using the wrong terminology in your case), but go without them. They are important to us! They are not just important, but needed. They are as we all are a piece of the puzzle. Housewives…….? No less important…..greatly needed, you teach, you cook our meals daily. You went to work during our wars. NO ONE, IS NON-ESSENTIAL (except maybe Congress). You’ll not see me write that Hyphenated word again.
Warren Buffett, “I could end the deficit in 5 minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971…before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land…all because of public pressure.
I am asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
*Congressional Reform Act of 2019*
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 7/1/19. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term’s), then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.Less
Trump’s Great State Of the Union Address, Pelosi Tears It Up. By John Hinderaker. More than anything, the speech was a reminder of what an excellent record the president has to run on in November. In both domestic and foreign policy, his achievements are essentially unarguable. This puts the Democrats in a tough spot. Through […]
They think by doing this it releases them from any guilt. Of course you have to have a conscience to have any guilt, but I guess they think they do. It takes away credibility, they don’t have to play by any rules of order. Though they suggest they do. Which means lying is acceptable. We’ve seen that from Adam Schiff and Nadler both. (by Arlin Report/Arlin Luttrell) May Gob Bless America and guide us through a new year!
Who is Nadler without the vote of the people to make this decision? Does he think he is God? Who does he think he is – he has no authority to make this move. No more God in the People’s House. Democrats have removed it from”swearing in” – in front of the House Democrats/Republicans. The […]
To paraphrase Bernie Sanders: “Let me make myself perfectly clear, I want to make Medicare for All to include undocumented immigrants.” “Let me also make this perfectly clear, I want free education to include undocumented immigrants.”
Most Democrats will agree with Socialist Bernie. Yep the same people that want to impeach President Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, both of which they can not be specific to point out the “crimes”. Yet they will give rights to law breaking illegal immigrants. Following the law? They are trying to rebuild a voting base and they don’t care how they do it. This is how Socialists’ rule!
Law abiding citizens, which would include legal immigrants should be totally pissed by this.
Democrats, while they don’t have much of anything (on impeachment fictional story), they are going down a trail of feelings, emotions. ” How did that make you feel.” So Democrats bring in a witness who has nothing to do with this alleged impeachable phone call of July 25th, but to question her on her possibly hurt feels.
Former Ambassador Yovanovitch (to Ukraine) was not involved in the famous phone call from the Prez to Ukrainian Prez and there is an overly expression of sensitivity to those who show nothing more than contempt and hate towards a duly elected president on that call. The Democrats by bringing the former ambassador to the impeachment hearing, simply want to show that the Trump administration hurt her feelings by replacing her. Then Adam Schiff tells Yovanovitch that Prez Trump just tweeted a statement criticizing Yovanovitch (during today’s hearing) as ambassador (not in a favorable way, “she was bad”): per Adam Schiff, “How does this make you feel?” “Do you feel intimidated?”
Really Adam? She would not have even known about the tweet until you brought it up during the hearing. How could she be intimidated if she had no knowledge of it? NICE SET UP THOUGH!
Hurt feelings pushed by Democrats as being some kind of illegal act. No one has asked President Trump if his feelings have ever been hurt. Not by the Left, the Democrats, anti-Trumpers, not anyone.
On another note: Roger Stone was just found guilty on all accounts. The 2nd count was lying to Congress. Gee, when does Adam Schiff go to trial for the same. He has lied before Congress. Did just the other day……… again. Adam Schiff, controlling this impeachment hearing, just suspended another Republican from asking questions when time was yielded to do so. Schiff is clearly scared to death of some of these Republicans who have questions.
What Schiff is saying is, and it is perfectly okay for me to make my own narrative, I mean he did it: ‘We don’t need a reason, we can impeach just because, because I am Adam Schiff and I am a Congressman of the United States.’ ‘Because we are crooked, fakes and liars.’ ‘So tuff!’
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) indicated over the weekend that the Democrats’ impeachment efforts are not contingent upon evidence of a Ukraine-linked quid pro quo offer.
