Do What is Right For America

To the Congress and Senate

As you vote on whatever final version of the debt reduction bill that comes before you I would ask you to consider the following.

Forget if the vote is good for the GOP or Democrats, forget if the vote will or will not help reelect Barack Obama. Forget if voting for or against the bill will cost your reelection.

Please remember as you vote to look above as you vote for the ghosts of Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson looking down on you.

Please also keep this in mind. Will those who died at Gettysburg, the Argonne Forest, and Normandy be satisfied that their sacrifice was sufficient for your actions today?

I would ask you to consider one thing and one thing only. Is voting for or against this bill the right thing to do for America's future?

Please pray for guidance.

The Rubicon

Dear Speaker Boehner


I am waiting to see what comes of this debt ceiling debate and what I am hearing from the US Senate is not making me happy. The plan developed by the three GOP Senators meeting with three Democrats and kicking the debt ceiling can down the road will not satisfy me. I must admit you have something to worry about and it is not the Democrats. You see I am your worst nightmare a Tea Party member with a Visa in his wallet. If the GOP acquiesces to the Democrats I will be forced to contribute money to Tea Party Republicans who will run against you and your cohorts in the 2012 primary elections. This is the Rubicon for the GOP and the Tea Party. Please don't cross it.
