Two years ago Mr. Obama forced, blackmailed, coerced, bribed and bought the totally Democratic Congress to pass, and he signed, Obamacare, against the wishes of at least 1/2 of the population (now up to about 75 percent). An arrogance showed which continues, unabated, mixed with periods of charisma, admixed with anger, hostility, falsehoods and half truths.

In Coeur d’Alene probably 50 percent of the people are concerned about spending millions at this difficult time to fix a problem which they feel does not exist. A project of such magnitude should not be undertaken lightly when there is such great resistance to it! In the minds of many, the problem is that they request the right to vote on it since the cost is born by the citizens. Complete honesty, transparency and humility instill confidence in the electorate.

The number of Federal employees has increased at least by 147,000. Whether that includes the 71 “czars” who have been appointed (now 31) is unknown. In the 230 years of our history, no presidential administration has gone so far outside the Constitution. Google “Obama’s Czars for 2012” and you will find that almost all the “Czars” are liberals, socialists and avowed communists. Every activity they are assigned, if it were needed, already has the legal authority designated to Congress by the Constitution.

So the “Czar” is unnecessary. At best it can be hoped that these czars do nothing except collect their paychecks! At worst they help destroy the country.

Do we need a czar for auto recovery, borders, California water, car, central region, domestic violence, green jobs, health, information, international climate, pay, Great Lakes, faith-based, regulatory, science, Sudan and THOUGHT? Why thought?

Your money pays for these needless probably un-Constitutional positions. Will our country take the road to be a “czaristic” state in November?

We must decide if our forefathers were right.

We hold the fate of America in our hands! You will determine if we will be FREE MEN or SLAVES? Which will you choose to be when you are in the voting booth?

GEORGE W.
