Dear Mr. Hamilton,<\/p>\n
I Believe Our Country Is Teetering On the Brink of Ruin & Desperately Needs the Constitutional Reform of the\u00a0 Twelve Visions Party Platform Initiated in 2012.<\/p>\n
I am a Neothink\u00ae Society Member; I am an American Citizen; I am a Simi-Retired Special Education Instructor, however please note that there is no such thing as REAL retirement in our impoverished society due to the economic inflation as\u00a0 has been allowed by our elected Politicians.\u00a0 Now, even though attaining the quote,\u00a0 \u201cGolden Years? Of Retirement!\u201d\u00a0 \u2013 People just can’t afford to retire.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I am an Impoverished Tax Payer; I am a Single Mom \u2013 A Head of Household; I am a Person of Hope!\u00a0\u00a0 You will notice a semi-colon at the end of each statement, that is because each and every \u201cI am\u201d represents the current demographics of the \u201cWe the People\u201d in Americas of today.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As such each demographic is an individual story unrepresented in our society by our current governmental infrastructure in the House of Representatives and Congress.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I guess when you reach the age of retirement you begin to fall into many categories which are directly governed by our countries House of Representatives and the Congress as they pass THEIR LAWS<\/em><\/strong> which directly affect OUR LIVES<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 Therefore, I like many Americans, have lived to become only another statisti c in the economic ruin and eventual collapse of our countries monetary system.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is the Investor\u2019s Dream \u2013 This is not the American Dream that so many of us were erroneously taught to believe was possible.<\/p>\n These politicians have become the worst of the worst in our country.\u00a0 As\u00a0 \u201cWe the American\u00a0 People\u201d<\/em><\/strong> barely survive on a meager retirement fund; which is also taxed by the governments Social Security System,\u00a0 our Politicians attain for themselves through their elected office,<\/em><\/strong> the financial means to hold office, and once in office acquire for themselves a life long retirement annual income of\u00a0 well over $50,000. per year!\u00a0\u00a0 I live on a retirement of $14,400. per year at $1200. per month (if I could retire) \u2013 simply not enough to survive on.\u00a0 How can I retire?\u00a0\u00a0 I am the majority in America today.\u00a0 We the People are barely able to sustain our simple mortgages let alone our lives.\u00a0\u00a0 Even as we struggle to survive in these oppressed times our \u00a0U.S. House Representatives recently passed for themselves and their staff $9.1 million\u00a0in bonuses on top of the $2.5 million\u00a0in automatic pay raises that these lawmakers gave themselves?\u00a0 According to reporting, the average House aide got a 17% bonus.\u00a0 These Politicians were voted into office to represent us as we struggle with the highest unemployment rates since 1976.<\/p>\n Who authorized these pay raises at taxpayer expense? I surely\u00a0didn’t!<\/p>\n As allowed by government supported Lobbyists\u2019, the current mortgage crisis which is causing millions of Americans to loose their homes due to government sponsored \u201cEntrapment Home Loan\u2019s\u201d ballooning interest rates have caused many to loose millions in investments while at the same time our government of\u00a0 quote, \u201cWe the People\u201d,<\/em><\/strong> provides economic stimulus\u2019s to large corporations such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which are slated to receive $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact,\u00a0 these executives have already been awarded $51 million towards these bonuses while unemployment rates across our country are at 9.8 percent.\u00a0 Our politicians have become dictators as they dictate to the American people how much in taxes they shall pay in order to fund their salaries and special interest groups, and thus ensure their continued stay in office at Taxpayer Expense!<\/p>\n What about the Health Reform Act that continues to be delayed in both the House and Congress?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So no health care appropriations for the \u201cWe the People\u201d<\/em><\/strong> and this on the brink of\u00a0 the world wide Swine Flu Pandemic which was raised to a \u201cRed Level\u201d in April of 2009!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then I hear on the news just yesterday that there is not enough Flu Vaccine manufactured to handle a dramatic outbreak of this deadly virus.\u00a0\u00a0 How did this happen?\u00a0 Who is responsible?<\/p>\n On April 30th, 2009, I read in the news that the worldwide pandemic level has been raised to a \u201cRed Level\u201d of concern due to the recent outbreak of the Swine Flu.\u00a0 This means that the United States had now been placed under an acute threat status for the spread of a Swine Flu pandemic outbreak.\u00a0 To date, there is one reported death confirmed in the state of Texas, and fourteen confirmed cases throughout California and Mexico.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Let\u2019s look at what types of provisions our government has allotted to the medical facilities in order to protect our citizens from the pandemonium of a life threatening pandemic outbreak.\u00a0\u00a0 Three years ago, Congress appropriated billions of dollars to the department of Health and Human Services, \u201cHHS\u201d, for the agency\u2019s pandemic influenza plan after animal outbreaks of the extremely pathogenic avian flu virus were discovered in a dozen countries throughout the world.\u00a0 Today, even though scientists say the threat of a pandemic is still very real, the nation\u2019s interest in the issue has subsided, and the HHS says it does not have the requested resources to fully implement its strategic plan to combat and prevent a catastrophic pandemic outbreak.\u00a0 December, 2005, Congress appropriated $3.3 billion in emergency funding to HHS for the first year of their intervention plan and $2.3 billion for the sec ond year of funding in June, 2006.\u00a0\u00a0 Note, those big plans have, to date, not been realized thus leading to the updated statement from HHS that quote, \u201cThe full promise for the progress HHS anticipated cannot be achieved as HHS does not have the requested resources to fully implement the plan it proposed.\u201d\u00a0 This report added that the fiscal 2008 appropriations bill did not include the $870 million initially requested by the president to support the plan\u2019s next phase.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Why is this occurring?<\/p>\n Here is your answer as to why this is occurring.\u00a0 Three years ago, the GAO, Government Accountability Office, which was initiated after 9\/11 as part of the changes related to the Patriot Act, developed a strategy for its work to support Congress\u2019 decision-making and oversight related to pandemic flue planning.\u00a0\u00a0 Their report supplanted Congresses flu pandemic planning and rather included a strategy which incorporated reviews of other national disasters such as the 9\/11 terror attacks, hurricanes Katrina and Andrew, and emerging infectious diseases such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome.\u00a0 Their strategy targeted six themes which were, performance and accountability, leadership, authority and coordination, detecting threats and managing risks; information sharing, and communication, capacity to respond and recover, and planning, training and exercise.\u00a0\u00a0 Basically, since 2006, when HHS\u2019s budget was taken over by GAO, 11 reports were published which made 23 recommendations based on its findings.<\/p>\n Then to summarize, control of the funds allocated to HHS had been transferred to a \u201cnew governmental office.\u201d\u00a0 This office, the ASPR, is the office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness Response.\u00a0 Because the funding was now, \u201cbroad based,\u201d to include various possible risk factors as stated above, little of the initial $7.1 billion in emergency funding specifically proposed for pandemic influenza preparedness by George W. Bush in 2005 actually reached the individual hospital facilities.\u00a0 Instead the ASPR has allocated to the nation\u2019s states and territories these funds which are supposed to be used to apply to all of the hazards that were reviewed initially by the GAO according to Gregg Pane, an emergency physician who is the director of national healthcare preparedness programs at ASPR.<\/p>\n Pane stated that planning efforts should be shared in a community with emphases on the local medical institutional needs.\u00a0 This would better target specific areas according to their area of need.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It appears that the funding priorities of these federally funded departments are too federally focused.\u00a0 Way too much of the money that is allocated from your tax dollars and mine goes to propping up large, federal bureaucracies like the C.D.C., Center for Disease Control, rather than providing the national health care support that our tax dollars are crying out for as we continue to live under the world wide pandemic threat of both the Swine and Avian Flues.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is the tax dollars of the American People!\u00a0\u00a0 This is the money that your elected Politicians were supposed to use to provide for your tranquility as per our Declaration of Independence.\u00a0\u00a0 Am I, as an American feeling tranquil?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As long as our current Politicians and their corrupted deviant political practices continue to impose their alterations and mutilations of the guidelines set forth by our Founding Fathers\u2019 as outlined in our Declaration of Independence and its Constitution of the United States of America, I will have no tranquility!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Here is an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence:<\/p>\n For the People of the United States of America, the Declaration of Independence<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/em> <\/em><\/strong>We hold these truths to be self-evident<\/em><\/strong>, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed<\/strong>, — That whenever <\/strong>any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government<\/span>, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.<\/em><\/p>\n Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes<\/span>; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.<\/strong> —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.<\/em><\/p>\n The history of this current United States governmental framework has become; as was the case of the Tyranny of the King of Great Britain over the Americas,\u00a0 a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all leading to the direct collapse of our economic establishment and the insurance of the health, stability, and well being of the American People.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI no longer believe that we as Americans are supporting a quote, \u201cGovernment of the People, By the People, and For the People.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 We are now a government \u201cOf the Politician, By the Politician, and for The Politician!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As such I cry out for change!\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n So now Mr. Hamilton, with all this in mind,\u00a0 how can I be a person of hope?\u00a0\u00a0 How can \u201cWe the American People\u201d really have hope in today\u2019s flawed and incomplete Governmental Structure?\u00a0\u00a0 Mr. Hamilton, you and the platform of the Twelve Visions Party are the hope for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for all American people in this day. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n As we watch our crumbling\u00a0 economic structure deplete the hopes and dreams of the American people; I strongly believe that our society and our future generations depend on a new State of\u00a0 The Union Amendment to our current U.S. Constitution which removes the threat of forced taxation as a retaliation measure against the economic infrastructure of the American People.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The purpose of our government formation\u00a0 through the Constitution was to (ENSURE THE RIGHTS OF LIBERTY AND PROSPERITY TO ITS PEOPLE AND THEIR ESTABLISHMENT).<\/p>\n Here is what I believe, unless we Americans become the unilateral voice of change to our current political system, and take back our country from the hands of career-politicians, America will collapse as the clay and iron feet of the false Idol prophesied in the Book of Revelations, and spoken about by Jesus \u2013 a truly\u00a0 conscious\u00a0 thinker in our world. \u00a0The Twelve Visions Party is the hope and life line of change for the future of all American people.<\/p>\n I am fully convinced, claiming a quote from yourself Mark Hamilton that,<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026The time has come to replace our career-politician lawmakers\u2014that is, those who throw food to swarms of lawyers in order to gain political power.\u00a0 We must replace them with those truly qualified to lead America\u2019s economy\u2014that is, those who build the economy:\u00a0 our entrepreneurs and successful businessmen who really care about the health of our economy.\u00a0 Only they bring us jobs.\u00a0 And only those business leaders can lead us through the storms of international competition.\u00a0 Only they can build the economy to rapidly rising prosperity\u2026our sinking economy demands that we replace our current lawmakers with those who build the economy, not drain the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n Taken from\u00a0 http:\/\/twelvevisionsworld.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Thank you,<\/p>\n Elaine R.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mr. Mark Hamilton & The Twelve Visions Party From:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 E.
