FIRE CONGRESS NOW

ARE YOU AS MAD AS I AM? One Trillion Dollars being requested from the taxpayers by President Bush stating that we have no choice. Let’s target every member of our government to be given their “Pink Slip”. They have no compassion on you when you get your “Pink Slip” so let’s do what all good Americans do…VOTE!

I respect Obama and McCain and I would like to send them on a fishing trip organized by Sarah Palin and hosted by Joe Biden. They are one big happy family because they all present the same face…bought by big business and they no longer represent the people.

Mismanagement of this magnitude requires a resignation or a pink slip. They continue to lie to us so how can we believe the numbers they are bandying about? Seven hundred billion? A trillion? That is more money than I can fathom. We are already eleven trillion in debt. That doesn’t include the looming obligation of Social Security. Add it all up and what do you have?

A Nation Off Course!!!

Let’s agree not to listen to any more of their lies. Pointing fingers and blaming each other. We need resignation letters right now. We need those letters or we are going to vote the men and women of government out of office. They spring this all on us so close to the election so that we don’t have choices. But we have choices. I am calling out the citizens of America to wake up and vote. If you have not yet registered, then register to vote and we can take our country back. I am calling on ordinary citizens to get organized and appoint one of the rank and file as the designated “write in candidate” for the Senate or House of Representative Seat that is available in your State or district. Every member of Congress needs to be fired.

EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS NEEDS TO BE FIRED.
WE CAN TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY NOW!!!!

If a majority of the votes cast have the write in candidate clearly indicated then we can upend this unspeakable mismanagement and put America on the right course.

They would have you believe that it is all so complicated so that the average American can’t understand it. The truth is that we must keep the language simple and the policies uncomplicated. We must return to basics where the American Economy is about producing something tangible. A product or service that the market wants.

The solution to the Financial Crisis is also simple. A recession comes from idle labor and capital. To recover from or avoid a recession we must get credit markets moving again and create jobs.

Tangible assets such as real estate can be leveraged no more than 70% unless they have solar…then they can be leveraged 80%. That provides an incentive to end our dependence on foreign oil. Freddie and Fannie need to be merged into a single entity that can be caused US Real Estate Trust.

THE US REAL ESTATE TRUST

This newly formed entity must be run alongside of the Federal Reserve System with a mandate that it work with Financial Institutions to fund loans on Real Estate…all Real Estate in America. Regardless of credit history the Financial Institutions of America can write loans up to 70% of the value of any Real Estate and up to 80% if the property has Solar Power. The Financial Institutions and the US Real Estate Investment Trust split the interest on the loans on a 50/50 basis to keep the money flowing and the Financial Institutions afloat.

Any appraisals that are made to inflate the value of the property are punishable by taking away the appraisers license and assessing a fine.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE NOW

Electric Cars, motorcycles, hybrids, solar panels, windmills, hydro-electric and clean coal technology need to be developed now to end our dependence on foreign oil. Every watt that is renewable takes carbon out of the air that we all breathe. Investment into green energy will create a huge number of jobs…especially if we create incentives for small businesses.

INCENTIVE FOR SMALL BUSINESS

Thanks to the lobbying of Big Business it is harder than ever to create a small business that can succeed. They are attempting to make it hard for the little people to have the American Dream because they fear the business with low overhead. They don’t want to compete with it. So they make it hard for you and me to start a business. That is why when millions of Americans are faced with losing their homes who is it that the Government chooses to bail out? They bail out Wall Street and let the average American foot the bill.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

I watched as President Bush announced the bailout plan that we are forced to support. As I watched a standoff in Los Angeles on television between law enforcement attempting to serve an eviction notice to a homeowner that had lost his home due to foreclosure. He sat with his wife armed with guns and held off the police for eleven hours. I looked for the story in the Los Angeles Times and couldn’t find it the next day…it had been buried. I think the contrast was lost in the shuffle.

PRINT IT AND SHIP IT

We owe eleven trillion dollars…most of it to foreign countries. Let’s print the currency and load it into 40’ containers and ship it to China, India, Saudi Arabia and other governments that hold our debt. Ship the cash to them. Imagine a 40’ container showing up at the Government Headquarters in Beijing. What would they do with it? Good question…since we restrict transporting over ten thousand dollars into the country and we make the movement of currency through the Patriot Act very difficult it would be hard to get those dollars back into America.

Many state that this would cause inflation. Isn’t inflation exactly what we need right now to get real estate stabilized? A round of inflation would take care of the problems that our financial system faces. And five trillion dollars hitting us a little at a time as I have demonstrated would help us with a modest round of inflation.

What it would do is establish the dollar as the Global Currency. Transactions that were done with briefcases of currency would be done in Dollars and it would immediately become the defacto currency.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Stocks, bonds, and derivatives can have fluctuating values and should only be leveraged to 50% at a maximum. Mortgages can never be insured and leveraged like they have been recently. Leverage is what created the Great Depression. Sensible banking will lead to a stable economy. High leverage works well through the meteoric rise but collapses quickly upon the fall…creating a card castle that leads to record bailouts.

NEVER AGAIN

We have to love ourselves to say never again. Lie to us once...shame on you...lie to us twice...shame on us...continue to lie to us without us rising and firing you...shame on America.

FIRE CONGRESS NOW!!!

My name is Michael Douglas Carlin and I have had it with the game of politics. I spent eight years of my life with a habitual liar and I spent all of that time trying to figure out what was true and what was a lie. What a waste of time! When you hear a politician blame another you know that they are guilty too...so why not get them all out of office.

It is time that the ordinary citizens take back America. When we get caught up in who is to blame and we spend our time listening to their arguments we are being distracted from what is being done behind the curtain... that we can't see. They distract us with their finger pointing and we miss the fact that they all need to go.I have a tremendous respect for the accomplishments of Senator John McCain and Barack Obama and they along with all of Congress need to begin their fishing trip and leave the governing to ordinary citizens.

There is this vetting process that bars the ordinary American from every running for office. I certainly won't pass the blue blood test. I am an ordinary man that wants to see our Country be more than it is right now. I want to see us go back to the basics.

We have entered the Global Era and we need to rise to the new realities that we face. Business As Usual will no longer work in America.We come from all over the world. With Globalization who is better poised to take advantage of the opportunities but those that understand diverse cultures and speak multiple languages.

My platform is simple...back to the basics. The platform is outlined in my book "A Prescription For Peace." They want us to be confused...they want to make it complicated and they want to manipulate us into buying into an agenda that is good for big business and bad for ordinary Americans.

I am not anti-big business. I am for allowing the Free Market to work with oversight. Granting special considerations to any company that makes them less competitive isn't good for the long term health of America.

Now with our Financial Crisis, our National Debt, our outdated Health Care System we need to peel away the layers that are non-productive and focus all of our energies on those that can produce real goods and services that meet the needs of the Global Market. If I am elected President I will give America that simplicity that gets us on track to be competitive in the Global Marketplace.

A Competitive America will allow every man woman and child in America to have three square meals a day, a roof over their heads, access to quality health care, personal security, an education and a job.

Having capital and labor idle is never good. So let us all usher in the greatest era in the history of the world. Let us usher in the greatest economy that has ever existed along with the most prosperity for all humanity.

FIX IT ALL

We sit at the table of crisis but also at the table of opportunity. Clearly we must bail out the mistakes of "Wall Street". Let's fix it all for good.

One Trillion dollars for stabilizing the markets...why stop there?

How about printing TEN TRILLION DOLLARS and shipping all of those dollars to those that hold our National Debt?

The underlying problem is that the price of real estate is sliding. The solution to fixing this is to create inflation so that real estate stabilizes and rises. 

Printing more money will create that inflation.

Paying off our National Debt will create 30% more available money in our National Budget and allow us to fix Social Security for good.

Most of the debt is held by foreign entities...if we ship actual "cash" overseas it will come back very slowly if ever. What it will do is establish the "dollar" as the global currency because so much of the trade that will occur overseas will be done in the "cash" dollars that we ship to pay off the debt. We limit visitors to our country to transporting no more than $10,000 in cash at any one time. With the Patriot Act we make it difficult to move money into the country... so this TRILLIONS of dollars would hit us slowly.

We deregulated everything. Now "Wall Street" has created derivatives on everything... this cannot continue. This needs to be fixed. "Margin Requirements" need to be placed upon every form of leverage... taking an asset and leveraging it 30 to 100 times its worth just isn't prudent. It is time that we get back to sound banking principles. We switched from the "Gold Standard" and replaced it with a "Real Estate" backed currency... it is time that we make this more than just implied. Merge Freddie and Fannie into one entity and clear the log jam by allowing a mortgage to any person or entity regardless of credit history as long as they put up 30% of the value of the property - 20% if there are solar panels on the roof contributing electricity to our power grid.

Now if we end our dependence on foreign oil over the next five years we will have surplus money to begin spending on building our failed infrastructure.

The Competitive Free Enterprise System

Inherent in the Problem is the Solution

Housing is a basic right!

We desperately need more affordable housing. Housing the poor or homeless is actually less costly than dealing with the issues of homelessness when we turn a blind eye to the issue. Offering shelters with services that rehabilitate people when they have hit a bump in the road, makes much more sense than ignoring them. Home ownership is part of the American Dream and yet it is becoming far too difficult for the average man or woman to achieve that dream.

Now we have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with an estimated 5.3 Trillion Dollars in Mortgages. What could all of the real estate in America be worth? 50 trillion? 500 trillion? I don’t really know the answer to that question but just the number of homes in America must be in the 50 trillion range. Our National Debt is now about 10 trillion.

With the problems we have in America right now doesn’t it make sense to take some bold steps to fix what is wrong with America.

Step #1. Take over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – ALREADY DONE

Step #2. Print currency and ship it to debt holders. Pay off the National Debt by increasing the money supply. This would free up 30%+ of our existing budgets in Government.

Step #3. Switch currency from being backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government to being backed by the Real Estate of the Country.

Step #4. Offer loans to any citizen (regardless of credit history) on any property providing that citizen comes up with 30% down payment for properties without Solar Panels on the roof or 20% if the property has solar panels. The government would back the properties with 80% loans on any property with Solar and 70% if the property doesn’t have Solar. In essence the currency would then be backed with by the mortgages on the Real Estate of America. Create a revenue share deal with the bank or financial institution that originated the loan so that they would receive an override on the loan when it was performing. They would also intercede if the loan defaulted. They would foreclose on the property and keep 80% of anything the property sold for over the amount of the loan and if the property sold for less they would absorb up to 20% of the loss as a fee to continue as a preferred lender and able to originate loans.

Step #5. Let’s not spend our resources tracking down illegal aliens any more…it is a waste of our resources. It is time for another amnesty program where we invite anyone here that has managed to keep out of trouble to become a citizen. The process would be a six month window to surface and provide proof that you have means of subsistence, followed by a five year waiting period that includes an education process and a vetting process to achieve citizenship.
Step #6. We know that Hurricanes, Tornados, Floods, Earthquakes, and Forrest Fires are part of the landscape of being American. Yet we have no provisions for thwarting their impacts. It is time that we prepare for the occurrence of these events by having our Army Corp. of Engineers develop permanent structures to minimize their effects. Every waterway in America needs to be prepared for taking on more water than usual. We need to develop a water grid in America where water can be moved from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. The Army Corp. of Engineers could develop a series of locks and canals to move water throughout the Country. When a drought leaves one area dry we could move water to mitigate the effects. In areas where housing is in the path of Tornados or Hurricanes any new housing would have to comply with building standards to withstand Category 5 winds. One structure that comes to mind is the geodesic dome house that seems to withstand the most extreme conditions. Places with Earthquakes must have structures built to withstand a 9 point Earthquake.

Now is the time for us to begin planning for the next thousand years. The five years plans of Capitalism are meaningless.

We went off the gold standard in 1971. Since then our currency has been backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Now with the failing of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae we need to establish United States Real Estate as the asset that backs our currency. With the new “Real Estate Standard” we will stabilize our economy and provide a solid asset to back our currency. The standard should be similar to banking where the consumer is able to borrow up to 90% of the value of the Real Estate based upon current market conditions.

Stick to the Issues and Seal The Deal

I was sitting at a dinner this week and I had the displeasure to hear an acquaintance speak about Senator John McCain in a very foul manner. I was appalled at what I was hearing. She spoke about how John McCain didn’t really suffer in the Hanoi Hilton. She attempted to minimize the sacrifice that he made for our Country. I really couldn’t listen anymore and I lost my temper. I shook my fist at that woman and I told her that I would not have her at my dinner table speaking ill of someone that had sacrificed so much for our Country. If I would have allowed her to continue I would have brought dishonor to my own two sons that have chosen to serve their Country by joining the armed forces. I would have diminished the two tours of duty in Iraq in the Army and a contract to serve in the Air Force. She was shocked but she shut her mouth.

Now we have Barack Obama that has also suffered some slanderous comments. He is a man that has defied the odds and done something no American man has ever done before. He is the first African American Democratic Candidate that has ever run for President. He has paved new ground in the use of the Internet and Cellular Telephones in his campaign and he mobilized millions of Americans that have never been engaged in the political arena. He deserves our respect.

Both of these candidates are always careful to speak about how much they respect each other and we should all follow their example.

When we disagree about issues…let’s keep it to the issues.

In America, we all like to lay blame. When gas rises we want to blame someone. We have chosen to blame President George W. Bush. He has extremely low approval ratings. Is it all really his fault? Could a single man really have stopped the tide of globalization? Cheap labor in other countries became skilled enough to lure jobs from America. Multi-National Corporations took advantage of that labor. I can’t really see that this was his fault. What we have gained from other countries having commercialism or capitalism has brought a measure of stability to the world that wasn’t there before. We now have interdependence beyond what has ever existed and the idea of peace is more solidified than at any other time in the history of the world. Further, the 70’s brought hijackings of planes and we did nothing, the 70 Olympics were terrorized and we did nothing, the Marine Barracks in Beirut were bombed we did nothing, the Cole was bombed, the Embassies were bombed, the World Trade Center was bombed the first time and we did nothing. The Pentagon and the World Trade Center were bombed at 9/11 and George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan and sent the Taliban and Al Qaeda packing. I personally was against the war in Iraq…I thought it was going too far…but now there appears to be a stable government forming. The chance of having peace in the region is one country closer to achievement. You can’t argue with the success. You shouldn’t throw stones at the man that had the courage to stand up to terrorism.

Now we have the ability to stomp out terrorism for good. Afghanistan is the battlefield. If we abandon Afghanistan now we prolong the war on terror for the next hundred years. Or we can thwart the efforts of the Taliban and Al Qaeda by stomping them out now. If we allow farmers to return to the poppy crops there we provide terrorists with a revenue source. With a solid revenue source we allow them to reconstitute and plot against us. We need sustainable living in Afghanistan for all of the people to grow and produce products that thwart the war on terror. We succeeded in Iraq…let’s push forward for a stable and democratic Afghanistan. I put forward the idea at the Mayor’s Conference in 2007 that each city in America adopt a city in Iraq or Afghanistan. Many cities have been adopted and there are incredible success stories. More needs to be done.

The belly aching about lack of jobs needs to stop. New jobs are going to be the result of renewable energy. Right now 140% of all output of Solar Panels is spoken for. We need more investment into energy and that investment needs to be the catalyst to create new jobs. Picture a world where every roof has Solar Panels built in that bring the bulk of the energy to America.

Let's Agree Not to be Polarized by Abortion

Do we really want to return to the days where expectant mothers were aborting their children with coat hangers? or the days where people traveled across State or International lines to get their abortion?

I believe in a woman's right to choose. I also believe that the moral high ground is to choose life.

If we leave Roe vs. Wade in tact and Women continue to have the right to choose it gives all women the right to make choices over their own bodies. Then we educate so that all that are involved in those choices know the consequences of their choices.

My Aunt had a child when I was young. I was told that the child was stillborn. Fifteen years ago I learned that the child was given up to adoption to a good family. Through a very unlikely chain of events I had the opportunity to meet this incredible woman years ago...just briefly. In the past year I have had the opportunity to know her much better. She is an incredible woman. The world is a much better place with her in it.

Time For Us To Be A Serious Nation

"When America becomes serious things get done," Newt Gingrich said, "From Pearl Harbor to the defeat of the Japanese and Germans was 3 years and 8 months." It is time for the United States to flex our muscles and to do good things for all of the world. We can solve the energy crisis in the next 30 months if we set our minds to it and mobilize all of America. Conservation and the development of new energy sources will take us from dependency to being truly independent. The time is now all of us must join in the solution.

The Garden of Eden

We all remember learning about the Garden of Eden...a place of abundance...paradise. The first rule of economics is that resources are scarce. We have learned that profits rise when there is scarcity. The reality is that we live in a world of abundance. There is enough food to feed every man, woman, and child alive. The scarcity is manufactured.

The problem with this scarcity is that it is killing the innocent. We pay farmers not to produce food. We destroy other food. We throw away so much too. We do all of this while people are starving. We see the photos, the video and hear the stories but we do nothing.

We live in Paradise and it is time that we provide Paradise to all of humanity.

Enable vs. Help

Everyone of us is the result of the many people that have had an influence over us. So not one of us has really done it on our own. We are all a collaboration of the many influences that we have had. There is a big difference in feeding the people that are recently displaced due to fire, flood, famine, tsunami, war or other disaster and feeding people that can do for themselves but won't.
