When Nancy Reagan was asked by a little kid when she was the First Lady "What should I do if someone asks me to smoke (i.e. or do drugs)? she said, "Just Say No!" That launched a campaign all across the nation in every school about standing up, taking personal responsibility, and just saying NO! to things that will do us harm. I would like to propose to extend this campaign to stretch to other areas of our lives that our government is doing that will harm us as individuals, families, businesses, and our nation. JUST SAY NO!
The latest from FoxNews.com: "Two top Democrats say they want to impose a new tax on the wealthy to finance any increase in U.S. troops for the Afghanistan war.
"Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., chairman of the purse string-controlling House Appropriations Committee, is calling the idea a "war surtax." He said that just as the federal government is expected to pay for its proposed intervention in the health care sector with new taxes, any escalated involvement in Afghanistan should come with a payment plan."
This all comes about with President Obama's looming decision on his strategy in Afghanistan that he plans to announce on December 1st. It's only been since August that his general, Stanley McCrystal, has requested 40,000 more troops. Rep. David Obey said if an increase like that is approved without any payment mechanism, then other domestic initiatives would be wiped out.
What other domestic initiatives would be wiped out dare I ask? Oh how about the trillion dollar overhaul of our nation's health care, cap and trade, and other programs designed to bring our nation to socialism and the redistribution of wealth.
Our nation and government cannot continue to spend money that we don't have. In our own household, if we continue to live beyond our means and continue to spend money that we don't have it will eventually catch up with us. What happens then? Do we get a government bail out? No. We have to seriously get our finances under control, balance our budget, stop spending, and just say no to stuff we don't need! Either that or claim bankruptcy and start it all over again without any lessons being learned.
JUST SAY NO! to this new proposed "War Surtax!"
JUST SAY NO! to health care reform!
JUST SAY NO! to cap and trade!
JUST SAY NO! to anymore frivolous government spending!
JUST SAY NO! to corruption!
We cannot let our government keep spending us into oblivion! Sooner or later it's going to catch up with us and inflation and interest rates are going to go through the roof and our nation will come to a standstill. JUST SAY NO!

President Barack Obama is a LIAR!
Blunt. Brutal. Fact. President Barack Obama is a L-I-A-R! I guess that shouldn't really surprise me, but I had hope. Hope that our president would be a man of his word.
Let me explain...on the campaign trail, in debates, in speeches, and in campaign ads, Barack Obama promised over and over that he would cut taxes for the 95% of Americans making less than $250,000 per year. He pledges that his tax increases would only apply to the top 5% of Americans making over $250,000 per year, your taxes will go down, emphasizing the point with a grand downward sweeping motion of his arm.
In a speech on September 12, 2008 in Dover, New Hampshire, Obama said, "I can make a firm pledge...under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will not see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax, not any of your taxes."
Today the House passed a "global warming" bill, which is actually an energy tax bill in disguise. The tax legislation designed to reduce carbon emissions by raising the prices of oil, gasoline, natural gas, coal, home heating oil, and anything else that produces carbon dioxide emissions, believed to be the main culprit behind supposed global warming. That is estimated to increase costs per family by an estimated $1,600 to $3,200 each year. If the bill reaches the president's desk and he does not veto it, he will be branded as a liar!
We haven't heard much about this "Cap and Trade" legislation that was passed because the media has been wrapped up in Obama's universal health care proposal. It was all a ruse so this energy tax bill could slip by with little debate.
Speaking of health care and how Obama is a liar, in a recent press conference he was asked how he intended to pay for his health care proposal and is leaning towards tax increases and various budget/spending cuts. How else are we going to pay over $1 trillion that's required to fund the plan? It just doesn't make sense!
