  Would you purchase a vehicle from Chrysler or GM now that the government owns it?

  With Obama and the democrats taking over the private sector are you ok with this? Are you ok with Obama trying to push every private company out of business with trying to get European companies to buy American companies?

  Are you ok with the government telling the companies what kind of car to build and what kind of car we can drive? Are you ok with Obama telling people what they can make? Do you think this is the American way and what our founding fathers would want?

  Make congress and senate an even political party member of numbers

  It is not fair to the people of the United States to have one house have a majority in democrats or republicans to pass votes on issues that will have an impact on the entire country. Each branch should have the exact same number of members from each party. If one party member wanted to vote on an issue from another party then that would be fine, but at least it would be fair and balanced. As it is now there is nothing fair about this process of having no checks and balances like our founding fathers wanted. I have watched C-SPAN with actual debates and things that sound like it would save the American people a lot of money are just thrown out because the other party has majority and is more into the issue than the one party. Take global warming or universal health care. The majority of the republican party does not consider this a valid issue to tax people on, while the democratic party doesn't care if people are taxed on it, but since they are in majority they always win, even with some democrats voting on the side of the republicans.

  As it stands now, a policitian/judge in either department of government can comfortably rely on a lifetime of being elected if they are in a district who support what they do. Let's say I am a republican/conservative/libertarian/independant and unfortunately I have a very liberal democrat representative in congress. I may not agree with any of the issues he is voting yes to, but there is nothing I can do. If I happen to be a minority in this district (politically) I might have to live with this same representative being voted in over and over because perhaps the really radical liberals love the fact that he is bringing in pork/ear marks by the billions for them to pursue agendas I find to be corrupt? If there is a term limit of two years for each member, including justices of the supreme court, then I and others might have a chance of getting someone elected who will value my ideas, it would be a cycle of radicals or conservatives, but at least it would be fair. Example is of Murtha (D) who gets more pork/ear marks for his distract than any other in office. He gets billions for his "airport to nowhere," but keeps getting elected because he gets billions to certain contractors or organizations who will keep him elected. This is criminal and should be stopped.

  Appoint a bipartisan panel to start limiting government programs and government departments

  This administration is getting "too big for their britches." The founding fathers created our government to have very little impact on the people and to remain small and out of the private sector. Over time it has become more expanded and is invading our private lives more and more. The ONLY sector that is prospering job-wise is the government. Our president is making more and more departments and then is hiring "czars" to over see the private sectors and different departments. This is not something the American people want or need. The government needs to STOP with all the excess spending and hiring of Russian "czars" (this reeks of communism) and start giving that "stimulus" money that was so important to steal from us to the people and NOT to congress and the senate to do with what they please. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. I do NOT want my taxes paying for special interest programs that I don't agree with and these need to be banned. I DO NOT want my taxes going to funding excess, non-issue projects that can go through regular appropriatoins. I honestly feel what this president has done so far is to actually steal from the American people to pay off political organizations who have supported them and this is a criminal act. I do NOT support what is happening in this administration.

  Stop trying to pass excessive agendas such as health care and cap and trade during economic hardships

  Every poll I have ever seen has health care as the very last (about 2% usually) in importance to the American people. I can honestly say I do not want to pay for an illegal alien to go to the emergency room 10 times a week (know for a fact from working in the healthcare field). Also, there are millions of people who do not believe in global warming and scientific data has backed them up on this. For this reason alone there shouldn't be any money going for this project. When the government starts to tax the air you breathe that is when we need to say this is enough.

  By reducing the government and not expanding it billions will be saved each year. This isn't hard to understand and makes sense. The government was not created to be bigger than the private sector and it was not created to overtake the private sector.

  Billions of dollars have been given to ACORN and President Obama has even put them in charge of the 2010 census, knowing that they are being investigated in 14 states and have been found guilty of voter fraud, embezzlement, etc. Why are taxpayers being asked to put up their hard earned money for these organizations they would rather see prosecuted? If any organization or special interest group has any type of record of corruption no federal money should be alloted them.

  Air Force One was flown for a photo op which cost thousands of dollars, the President uses Air Force One to go from state to state to campaign or for photo opportunities that need to stop or having his favorite pizza maker from Chicago flown into Washington to deliver a pizza, or using jet stream airplanes to go to conventions to speak, etc...(like Al Gore). Besides these vehicles putting so much emissions into the atmosphere, more than 50 cars in a week with one flight and costing the taxpayers $50 thousand dollars an hour to fly in, maybe the White House and those in congress can practice what they preach. Fly coach, ride in those little hybrids that they tout are so important to save the planet when going somewhere. Quit flying to Las Vegas for a convention to raise money when you don't have the money to do so.

  I'm sorry, but this administration so far has become the most unethical and corrupt I've seen or read about in history (aside from Nixon). I am embarrassed that my President would hire white collar criminals to serve in his cabinet and allow the Speaker of the House to lie about our national intelligence agency without asking her to step down like he asked a private business CEO to do. I have seen one democrat after another be called out for not paying their taxes or hiding money, lying about money received from certain groups and organizations, etc. You have Chris Dodd putting into the stimulus that big wigs on Wallstreet can get bonuses after the government forced the taxpayers to give them billions and then he lied about it until being caught. You have Barney Frank lying about his role in the economic collapse with Fannie and Freddie. You have Obey getting billions in the stimulus for his son who is in national forestry. This is getting to be too much for the American people.

  Promises from President Obama

  Unfortunately President Obama has not kept his promise about ear marks/pork and transparency and has allowed thousands upon thousands of these to pass without even knowing what he was signing. He said he would go line by line and yet hasn't done it yet and has spent trillions of our dollars so far without anything to show for it. There has been no stop in people losing their jobs or homes, but by golly that new nature park in Iowa or Idaho is being tended to and that airport of John Murtha's who has more employees than passengers is getting billions, too bad about the poor. I believe that President Obama needs to go back and listen to his campaign promises about transparency, ear marks, lobbyists, etc...because so far he has not kept one single promise and I am really afraid that we are going to have sky high taxes on everything, even though he said he would not raise taxes. Why should I believe him, he's lied about everything else. If the president would just keep his promises then the transparency issue is solved.

  California is just about bankrupt. President Obama says we are out of money and special interest groups and steamrolling ahead with new programs that are going to cost trillions is still going on. We know for a fact that President Obama will need at least one trillion for healthcare. Who is going to pay for this if we are broke? Waxman and Markey are trying to push cap and trade on our society so that our companies will move overseas, causing yet more jobs to be lost and less money coming in, who will pay for this? I think that until our economy picks up and THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES are back to work without having a huge tax burden on their shoulders that all interest groups, new programs, etc...need to come to a halt so that we can recover. If the billions upon billions of that money went to actually helping people who are down on their luck and states who are about bankrupt this is better than strapping every taxpayer with these ridiculous government programs that should not be happening anyway.
