reason is that I intend to seriously promote myself as a speaker again
in 2009 and that could be perceived as having a competitive advantage
over the speakers who are listed. I'm in the process of settling up
with the speakers who are listed and I can turn the web site into
whatever you want it to be before handing it over to new management.
If you're interested, or just curious, please have a look at the web
site. http://www.CommissionFreeSpeakers.com If you want only the
domain name, I own both the .com and .org domains which were renewed
in mid-Sept.
Feel free to ask me questions or make a reasonable offer. It would be
a shame to just let this web site disappear after Dec. 31, when
someone smart could be making money helping and supporting other
speakers.

WILL THE US FOLLOW THE ROMAN EMPIRE?
NEED 55 - 60,000 WORDS FOR 175 PAGES. ONE PAGE = 30 LINES X 12 WORDS = 360 WORDS PER PAGE
Things that NEED to change before AMERICA self destructs and goes the way of the Roman Empire
Think I am kidding? Not at all.
Most politicians are self- serving and care little about the average citizen they vow to serve while campaigning for their votes. Most politicians can’t associate or emphasize with the common man or women. Why you may ask? Simple, many are much better off financially than those they want to serve (until they are elected that is) so how could they possibly know how to go from paycheck to paycheck each week or month? They can’t emphasize nor do they really care to and that often is the problem. While the two Busch Presidents deal with the super rich of Arabia how can they possibly know or even care how average people make it each month?
When Busch decides to have his own private war, spending BILLIONS of dollars of our hard earned money, indebting us and the next generation for years to come, do you think he could possibly know what it takes 90% of the population to survive from day to day?
THINGS MUST CHANGE NOW TO SAVE AMERICA FROM DESTRUCTION
1. Eliminate would be lobbyists once they leave government jobs.
They are bloodsuckers without adding anything of substance to society and who needs that?
What is the purpose of lobbyists, to get rich while using their knowledge acquired while working for us, the people, while prostituting their services to the highest industry bidder. What’s wrong with this you may ask?
Often after many years of service in the government as civil servants. They know the ins and outs of how the government works and now they feel it’s their time to use this knowledge and make money in the process. Is this kosher to use what could & should be considered “insiders knowledge” and sell it to the highest bidder?
How is this done? Simple, the emerging lobbyist goes to an industry he/she has intimate knowledge of, seeks out a huge company to put this knowledge to good use and get rich.
There are two main problems with this scenario.
To be lobbyists, are using special insider government knowledge they have acquired in the service to their country. Now they go to the industry they have often very intimate knowledge in and know the government insiders who have the power to sway other government official to make decisions to favor their new client to be. Pretty cozy arrangement wouldn’t you say?
Ever heard of insider trading? This is a similar situation where the lobbyist has guarded, and often-secret knowledge pertaining to a particular industry and or company. They expect the lobbyist to get their inside man so to speak to influence the government decision makers to benefit their new “boss” and mentor, making both rich in the process.
Maybe this is a little over simplified, but in general terms this is how it works. Let me tell you, private people are not to use insider’s information and use it to benefit very specific groups of companies and or people to the exclusion of the rest of the public.
2. Ditch crooked politicians, without pay, if they are convicted & go to jail
What really “gets” me is when I read or hear about corruption in Government or big corporations.
I think last year, or was it the year before, I think one o0r two senators got convicted of bribery and actually went to jail. Now can you imagine really mad I was when I heard that they actually kept being paid by the government while in jail. Is that aconite or what? It’s an outrage that our elected official show so little regard, or should we say disregard for us, their constituents.
Anyone else would lose their job and certainly not get any pay for being a crook nor get their job back when leaving jail.
What are people and especially the government thinking when they
make such ill-advised decisions? Obviously they are not thinking and
seem to care very little about us, the public.
Why else would they spend our money, pay crooks when they are in
jail and obviously feel no sense of wrongdoing, or remorse.
One would think that some part of the government would be outraged at such behavior, put an end to such an outrage and change the law so this could not continue. Why is the public not outraged and incensed at the officials who allow and condone this kind of behavioral?
Could it be that the public in general has seen so much of this kind of behavior and has become callous about it and does not care any longer? If so this certainly would be a very sad situation indeed and not say much about us as people, now would it?
3. Mexico MUST of its own people
Why are there so many illegal Hispanic people crossing the border into the US? This would seem a simple enough answer, but why has the Mexican government not figured this out yet or the American government for that matter? Well, I think both governments have, but chose not to do anything about it, all for different reasons. For one, south of the border there are many corrupt officials - mind you there are perhaps just as many in the US for that matter, but that’s another matter. If the Mexican government were to spend some of that “foreign aid” it gets from the US, the World Bank and perhaps other governments and spend it on it’s own people, there would be no problem. People leave their own country either for political reasons or for miserable economic reasons. I think most people whom are familiar with Mexico know what the average living and economic conditions are and the Nafta Agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico did not help them rather than they got screwed royally.
4. Re-examine ALL foreign trade agreements
Why, because many are NOT equal and more often than not favor other partners more than us. The Busch administration was so eager to reach agreements with China at all costs that we simply got the short end of the stick. US citizen want more and more things at ever cheaper prices so China is just the kind of country that can and will deliver what we want. Never mind the ever-increasing trade balance and the fact that China owns a sizeable share of our country, Say what? Yes our country as like in factories, real estate and much of our debts, just to mention a few. I bet you didn’t know that. But does the average American citizen really care as long as the goods we want are available at “affordable” prices? Not really, besides our economy runs on “inalienable rights and wants”. You hea5rd me, we want, we get or so it seems that’s the American way and the marketing and advertising industries do their darnest to provide. Why are things that way? Simple, most Americans never heard, or cared to hear the word NO, you can’t have this or that. What do you mean I / we can’t have this?
We live in the country of the plenty and what I want, I get. Our dear government and marketing machine sure try to keep it that way. Every one wins, or so it seems. Who do you think pays for the war in Iraq or wherever else we must wage war to keep our factories humming?
5. Corn (Mais) is for food, not ethanol
Since the ethanol craze started a few years ago, many farmers jumped on the bandwagon, converted their fields from whatever crops they grew before to growing corn. The farmers are making much more money since there is a shortage of corn since so much is being used for ethanol but this has one very bad result how could this be a bad thing? Well, you certainly can’t eat ethanol. Using so much corn for fuel rather than food there actually is a corn (mais) shortage. This resulted in very much higher corn prices so that many Hispanic people who literally live on corn cannot afford to feed their families. For the US using corn to make ethanol is certainly not the way to go. Why, because we will never be able to make enough ethanol, no matter how much corn we row, to even make a dent in reducing oil consumption for cars. The US is making it’s citizens that by using ethanol they are actually helping the environment but not telling them the food crisis this has created.
6. Cut the presidential election progress in halve
Why does the US needs close to two years to elect a president, who ones elected does as he pleases anyway? I tell you why; it’s economics, dummy. It’s big business to run all these meetings and in the end the Republican and Democratic conventions. Wouldn’t want these folks to lose out on the gravy train that is the election, would you.
If this entire charade isn’t the most idiotic spectacle then I am not sure what is. No other Democracy puts on such a spectacle. Why is the US doing this to make a pre-election last THAT long? First of all it’s a money game. Some presidential candidates have the ability to raise huge amounts of money, especially those with a wide name-recognition and appeal.
The lesser known ones who either do not have that much money on their own nor can raise that much naturally have a marked disadvantage They can’t afford to spend big on ads, commercials and whatever it takes to get in front of the public to receive name-recognition.
Have you ever considered how many people are making big money in this political specter lasting such an outrageous long amount of time? If you count the traveling being done, the many meetings employing many people, the news conferences are big business nation wide, along with these endless debates. Granted, lesser-known and less financially endowed candidates have a much more difficult time and are really not playing on a level playing field. How can that situation be remedied? One option would be to set up a political fund of equal amounts for each participant and nobody can’t spend more than the amount all have been allocated.
All get equal airtime to be paid either out of such funds or individuals who can support their favorite candidate up to a pre-set limit.
7. Wipe out corruption in government and big corporations
8. Create a one-level income tax for ALL
9. Eliminate any and all income tax deductions
10. FIX the illegal immigration problem
11. Make ENGLISH the “official” spoken and written US language for ALL, no exceptions
12. Federalize most STATE laws
13. All immigrants are required to learn English and prove their competence after one year
14. Outlaw guns NOW
15. Enforce ALL criminal and civil laws to the maximum no more leniency
or “cushy” deals
16. Punish government wrongdoers
17. Everyone must take responsibility for own actions
18. Return civility and manners to daily life
19. Wipe out all drug smuggling and use
20. No president can start a war without 2/3 congressional majority
21. Crooked presidents and congressmen must vacate their job WITHOUT pay or benefits
22. All convicted criminals WILL receive the full allowable penalty for their crimes
23. You father a child you WILL pay to raise that kid one way or the other
24. Americas attitude of “Entitlement” MUST go the way of the dinosaur
25. Taking responsibility for all your actions WILL become the norm for all
26. Pay all teachers what they are worth, after all they are educating YOUR children
27. Downsize all cars and mandate the best possible mileage possible
28. Reduce outrageous million dollar salaries and golden parachutes
29. Any CEO deliberately “defrauds” investors and employees, goes to
jail
30. Any CEO or head of government, not producing a timely budget,
does not get paid
Sounds too drastic?
That’s the idea to make this world civilized and livable again.
