SUNDAY SAYINGS FROM OUR FOUNDERS-James Madison



James Madison

SIGNER OF THE CONSTITUTION; AUTHOR OF THE FEDERALIST PAPERS; FRAMER OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS; SECRETARY OF STATE; FOURTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I have sometimes thought there could not be a stronger testimony in favor of religion or against temporal enjoyments, even the most rational and manly, than for men who occupy the most honorable and gainful departments and [who] are rising in reputation and wealth, publicly to declare their unsatisfactoriness by becoming fervent advocates in the cause of Christ; and I wish you may give in your evidence in this way.


A FOUR MINUTE VIDEO YOU NEED TO SEE:



ONE MORE THING:



House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr. , R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two.... he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct. 1, and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on....

Joe, I though better of not watching this circus play out. They all knew what the outcome of this mess was going to be, so why torture myself watching a fixed play....I hope we stay united in our fight to turn these people out to pasture. They certainly did not represent the american people. Didn't they pledge to support the Constitution of the United States??isn't recall and option...all the rest of the shananagans that we have been exposed to during this process has driven me out of my mind...How about abuse of Power??They invaded my bedroom now they have taken over my house and are making me pay for the privilege to be a citizen of these United States!..God Help Us.......stay well

Tapline: They just don't care about what the American people want. And now they'll be able to have their way by virtue of precident.

Susannah: It is a dark day for America. Help yourself to the vid.

I wrote all the senators a polite note suggesting what really needs to be done with healthcare instead of this bill. They can still chose to act and change the course on this bill.
It is a small hope but I will go for what ever I can get.

Thanks for your efforts Joe.

I just hope Americans realize now that they are footing the bill for these self-serving legislators to sit and play solataire and ignore their wishes in every way shape and form. I am so tired of watching people who struggle every day, working their fingers to the bone to pay for these idiots who grope interns, proposition them, lie like Rangle, and then sit and play games while legislators offer arguments to bogus bills that will destroy our healthcare system and small businesses along with them. selahV

We need someone like Mike Rogers in the White House. I noticed our fine Representative, Sue Myrick, beside him! Go Sue!!
