James Madison, Federalist #46

"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of."

Well with the added knowledge of how this thing works.
I guess I had better start working "Lenny's Blog" again.

The blog will be a series of rantings, ravings, quotes, poems, rhymes, videos, pictures and I would like to bring back some of the old posts.

Thanks for your time.

Election: What Election?

Election? What election? There was no election!

Both of these so called presidential candidates are advocating increasing
the size, cost, reach and power of the government……!

Since you and I want to decrease the size, cost, reach and power of the Federal Government the only way to do it is through the House of Representatives (Your Congressman)…………..

They control all of the money spent by the Federal Government

They alone have the power to refuse to finance these insane government programs.

Without the financing the expansion of government will stop.

Soooooooooooooooooo…………......….....
who is your Congressman????????????

And did he pledge to Vote NO on any and all bills which would increase the size, cost, reach and power of the government????????????????????????????

Election there was no election. You were distracted by two actors while those who want to destroy this country put big spenders masquerading as Democrats. & Republicans. In the
House of Representatives

And so you can expect more and more expansion of the Federal Government. because you failed to find candidates who would Vote NO on any proposed legislation which would increase the size, cost, reach and power of the government

If you yourself are willing to make that pledge and do that you, and people like you should be running for the House or Representatives.

Make that happen in the next election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phoney Conservatives

It’s time to determine who is for real and who in the political landscape is blowing hot air.

Let’s take a Congressman. He is from a very conservative district.
His constituents are for less government, pro-life and most definitely pro-second amendment.

The Congressman goes to Washington, DC.

He is asked to vote on an abortion bill.

He said he would vote no and votes no on that bill.

The bill passes.

The next bill that he is asked to vote on is gun control.

He said he opposes gun control and votes no on that bill.

It passes.

The congressman in question goes home and tells his constituents that if only we had a few more “conservatives” like him in office we could have stopped those bills from being passed.

What said Congressman neglects to tell his sheep is that both of those bills need to be funded. Both bills become part of the Federal Budget. He votes for the Federal Budget.

That means that he voted to fund what he said he was against, abortion and gun control.

Nice trick.

We have such a Congressman in Tennessee’s Third District.
His name is Zach Wamp.

He is a seven term Congressman. And he keeps the same game, the same lies going every year.

We have a gentlemen running against Wamp whose name is Doug Vandagriff.

Doug is a regular blue collar guy. He holds down two jobs. He is going to look at these bills that are coming up for a vote and ask one question. That question is:

"If this bill is passed will it increase the Size, Cost, extend the Reach or Power of the government?

If the bill does any of those things he will vote no on that bill for those reasons."

The only way Doug Vandagriff will vote for the Federal Budget is if it were lower next year than this year.

Now Doug isn’t raising any money. He isn’t spending any money. He doesn’t have a website but if elected he will adhere to the above promise.

It’s time to get a real American to represent the people of the Third District of Tennessee.

On Election Day.

Vote for Doug Vandagriff.

Thought you ought to know.

PS.

Mr. Wamp makes a big deal of the fact that he attended seven colleges.

He didn’t graduate from any of them.

Mr. Vandagriff has a Masters Degree in History from the University of Tennessee.
