My letter From Sen. Harry Reid

Using a website form I emailed Senator Harry Reid regarding Barack Hussein Obama’s birth certificate, or lack thereof. I got this standard form letter which is about what I expected.

Dear Mrs. Mcintosh:

Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate hearing from you.

According to Article I, Sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution, any person serving in the United States House of Representatives must have reached the age of twenty-five and must have been a citizen of the United States for at least seven years, and any person serving in the United States Senate must have reached the age of thirty and must have been a citizen of the United States for at least nine years. In addition, Article II, Section 1 mandates that a person must have reached the age of thirty-five and be a natural born citizen in order to serve as President of the United States.

As you mentioned, some reports have surfaced that my former colleague, President-Elect Barack Obama, is not a natural-born American citizen. These reports are false. Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawai’i. His birth certificate is a matter of public record of the State of Hawai’i and is available online through various news sources, as well as on the Web site for the nonpartisan, nonprofit Annenberg Political Fact Check: http://www.factcheck.org. I hope you find this information useful.

Again, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. For more information about my work for Nevada, my role in the United States Senate Leadership, or to subscribe to regular e-mail updates on the issues that interest you, please visit my Web site at http://reid.senate.gov. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

My best wishes to you.

Sincerely,

HARRY REID

Here we go, Dems wanting our 401(k)s & IRAs

We all suspected it would happen. Today I read in the Carolina Journal Online that Democrats may be wanting to take our 401(k)s and IRAs. They claim that they are just rearranging the tax breaks that are available now for 401(k)s and spreading — spreading the wealth. I’m really tired of that “spreading the wealth” thing already.

It is reported that 33% of all American’s want the government to “enforce additional private savings” I disagree with this 100%. Is it my fault that some people do not participate in the 401(k) set up by their workplace or that they don’t invest their money or even save it? What happened to the fear instilled in us by our parents that if WE didn’t save for our future, we would be broke when we were old and have to eat cat food? Am I the only one who still feels this way? I will NEVER expect someone to spread their wealth to me. I am responsible for my own future, no one but ME.

I say hell-to-the-no for government run savings.
