Its time to come out of your comfort zone and take a short quiz. Below is a link to a 10 question quiz about the constitution. It takes less than a minute and hopefully will be eye opening for you.
Feel free to share your score and leave your comments. Pass on this link to your spouse and kids and see how they scored compared to you.
Its time to wake up and start learning a bit about our countries history. Good luck!

Hopefully you are all sitting down and have already taken your blood pressure medication prior to reading this. Here are links to three separate articles talking about the size of government.
FEDERAL PAY 2X PRIVATE SECTOR (CLICK HERE)
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES EARNING OVER $100K DOUBLES (CLICK HERE)
FANNIE PAYS HUGE BONUSES (CLICK HERE) Did you know about this? Where is the outcry from the occupy wall street people?
I just have one question for everyone…. Why is so much money being spent on growing the size of the Federal Government? How does growing the Federal Government and paying government workers at 2x what a private citizen makes for the same job solve our economic problems? I bet you all think I am going to blame Obama for this. Nope. This growth in the size of our government started under George Bush!!! Obama has simply pushed a little heavier on the gas pedal. To me, this is no longer about the (R) or the (D) next to our elected officials names. Its about all our leaders spending out of control and there is no one else but you and I to hold them accountable. Having facts like in the above articles only makes you more powerful and educated.
Keep learning!
Keep getting involved!
Stay AWAKE!

Here is a picture and article from todays news…
Educate yourself, prepare and get ready. Everything that we have seen happening around the world is now happening here. Our ignorance and a corrupt government (Republicans & Democrats) has gotten us into this problem and it is not going away anytime soon.
Instead of watching an episode of ESPN sports center, Dancing with The Stars, General Hospital, or playing one more game of Angry birds, may I suggest you pick one of the following to do for 30 minutes today….and tomorrow and the next day….
1. Read the constitution. http://www.usconstitution.net/const.pdf
2. Read the Declaration of independence. http://www.constitution.org/usdeclar.pdf
3. Go to http://www.heritage.org/ Sign up for their daily email newsletter. Spend 30 minutes on their site
4. Go to your local library with your kids and grab a book on American History
5. Call up your local soup kitchen and sign up for some time to volunteer
As people in our country get more hungry, angry and desperate, only bad things can (and will) happen. At some point the average person will scream out for help and in will come the folks that caused this entire mess!! …. The Federal Government – which is absolutely the very last thing we want to happen.
Cant wait for everyones comments.

Below is a link to a video of an admitted Marxist Muslim that has a pretty great grasp on what is going on in the Muslim world today. Hats off to him for standing up! Please take 5 minutes and listen to what he has to say. We all must start paying attention to what is going on in our world and do our part to wake ourselves up AND wake up our friends.
Andy
Can you all take a minute and please hit the rewind button in your brain and go way, way back in time to your High School Government class and let me know what the 3 branches or government are and why our founding fathers set things up this way? I know you are all pressed for time and probably like me, did not pay attention to high school government class… 
I decided to go to the internet for the answer and here is what I found at answers.com – “One reason was so that the branches could be checks and balances for each other. The founders didn’t want any one group or individual to be able to accumulate too much power. They were reacting against the monarchies and aristocracies that existed at the time”

Now that you know this, can someone please answer this question for me…
Why is the president launching his “We can’t wait” program? Oh, you didn’t know about this?
Click here for full story Even though his own party has voted against his new jobs bill, the republicans get blamed and the president basically is saying, we now have no other choice but for him to pass executive orders in order to get things done. Wow! What about the 3 branches of government and our president building consensus and figuring out how to bring everyone together to actually get things done for our own benefit?
We are heading down a very dangerous path. Wake up folks!
Will be waiting for everyones response.
Andy
Dont laugh or shrug this off. With our government getting involved more and more in regulating every aspect of our life, I’m sure we are not far behind the country of Denmark which just added a fat tax on its citizens. Click Here for full story
Here is an article from the Chicago Tribune that reports that Chicago schools are now banning parents from sending lunches of their choice to school because the district (state) does not think we know whats best for our kids.Chicago Tribune article
Violence esculates in Greece – WSJ story on Greece
Just like the riots in Greece, the financial crisis in Spain, Portugal and Italy, don’t ever think all of these socialist problems/programs could not happen here. They already are. You are just seeing the beginning of them.
Will be waiting for everyones comments.
Wake up!
Andy
As you read this article from the USA today CLICK HERE , and your jaw drops open with these staggering numbers, think about this fact for a second…
When we the people pay taxes, our taxes go to pay for the salary, health care and Pensions of all our government employees. Since it is our money that is paying their pensions, Federal employees pay absolutely nothing into their own retirement plan. So, we are paying for our own retirement + millions of Federal employees retirements. You would think that someone in the media or at the Congressional Budget office, would have done their homework and have reported these staggering stats sooner. Why are we the people always getting these TRILLION surprises?
Wake up folks.
Andy
I just have one really easy question for everyone this morning….
Where are all those that have been calling out the tea party for hatred, violence and being crazy, to speak out against this movement?
Brooklyn Bridge protesters article
Here we have thousands of people marching in NYC and other major cities around the country asking for the end of capitalism, and not one single peep from the press, the democrats or our president asking for people to tone down their hateful rehetoric . Isnt that weird? Whats even stranger is that over 700 people have been arrested at this one event!!!!
The Tea Party comes out and asks for less government, less taxes and they are compared to Hitler & Nazi’s. They are also called racists! All for asking for less spending by our government. Can any one of you please show me a single article where more than 1 Tea Party person has ever been arrested for anything?
And now we have Roseanne Barr come out and asks for guillotines to be brought back and the rich to be “beheaded”, and no one says anything!!!!!!!!!
“Oh, Andy, come on, Roseanne is just a comedian and doesnt really mean this”. Really? Listen to her in her own words and you decide for yourself.
Wake up folks!
Andy
OK, how many of you are tired of hearing that the “Rich are not paying their fair share?” How many even know what that means? Can any of you even find me a copy of the Presidents job bill that “must be passed today”. I went online looking for it and could not find anything. Here are links to 3 articles from 3 separate publications that tell a different story than our president as to what the jobs bill will do for us. Now you have to ask yourself this very simple question… Who is lying…. Sorry, stretching the truth? Our government or 3 separate news sources (including the AP).
Wall Street Journal
AP Fact Check
Front Page Magazine
Educate yourself so that you know the truth.
Wake up
Andy
