TEA Party rolls on with victories

By Oscar Y. Harward

As we close out the 2010 Primary season and move into the 2010 General Election on November 2, the Democrats, Republicans, and other political parties have made their preferences. The prominent issue of the day is a deteriorating economy. President Obama and the majority Democrat Party on Capitol Hill is offering and passing legislation that is being rejected.

With their governing control since January 2009, the majority Democrat Party has passed legislation in difference to the requests of Americans. The Democrat Party on Capitol Hill supported the radical socialistic ideals as instituted by President Obama. During many hearings for originating new legislation, the Republican Party offered amendments as supported by America’s taxpayers. Democrat leaders suggested that their fellow Democrats defeat GOP amendments in committees and on the floor of the House and US Senate.

Majority Democrats on Capitol Hill has “crammed down our throats” ObamaCare while American were saying “NO”. Americans are witnessing premium increases of their own healthcare costs as reflected by ObamaCare.

Democrats on Capitol Hill passed a $787 Billion “stimulus” bill that Americans were told was critical for immediate passage to create jobs. Since passage, unemployment has increased, rather than decreasing.

Many “stimulus” projects passed were directed to “falsely” listed zip codes. In summary, most of the projects went to Labor Unions only as repayment by Democrats to Unions for their political support.

Majority Democrats on Capitol Hill passed “Cap and Trade” legislation that even President Obama said would dramatically increase electrical energy costs to businesses and consumers.

Five (5) simple solutions for reversing a deteriorating economy:

1. Pass legislation reducing Americans’ tax burdens and individual freedoms and for offering tax incentives for new and/or expanding businesses for jobs.

2. Reverse ObamaCare legislation, returning America back to the very best healthcare system in the world; thus, lowering consumer costs.

3. Pass “tort” legislation to control cost in healthcare jury awards and settlements in questionable lawsuits.

4. Drill, capture, and refine American oil to reduce oil, gasoline, and natural gas costs for the America’s businesses and consumers. This will help reduce the national addiction of more than $302 Trillion imported oil costs paid to foreign suppliers. This would also reduce the $13.4 Trillion national debt. Why does the majority Democrat Party prohibit Americans from drilling for our own energy resources, in lieu of purchasing oil from Islamic Muslim nations?

5. Stop all “Cap and Trade” legislation that will transfer control from American freedoms to government bureaucrats with additional personal cost.

There are other “test and proven” ideas to restore our nation’s economy. Those of the Tax Enough Already (TEA) Party understand. Members of the “TEA” Party are Conservative in political philosophy and mostly middle class Americans. Many have never been actively involved in the political process. They, as most Americans, are fed up with the liberals on Capitol Hill who spend without concern as to taxpayers’ cost. They truly believe they are Taxed Enough Already”. As TEA Party candidates roll on with victories, America’s electorate is showing more support of TEA policies.
