The American Experiment: Where Do We Go From Here...

Dear Patriots,

We have seen some disappointment from the leadership of the GOP after claiming more territory in the

House and Senate in the Nov. 2nd elections.

1)  Rep. Pete Sessions R-TX and Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick R-PA failed to make it to the

swearing-in-ceremony of the 112th Congress.  Their votes were invalid

until officially, Constitutionally sworn in.

2)  State of the Union Address - Date Night.  Whose bright idea was it to pair up,

buddy style, with someone from the other side.  Are you kidding

me?  Way to capitulate.  This could have been a visible

demonstration of the victory.  Throw it away?

Sen. Marco Rubio (R) of Florida had a date with the other Senator from Florida,

Bill Nelson (D).  Rep. Allen West (FL), understanding that you do not

give up territory, refrained from Date Night at the SOTU.   

Come see him tonite at 7:00pm at his Town Hall at South Florida Bible College   747 South Federal

Highway  Deerfield Beach, FL 33441 (954) 426-8652  He demonstrates the priority to keep in close

contact with his constituents.

3) Now is when we see the true hearts of the newly elected and those who have been claiming to be

conservative.  Rep. John Mica (R-FL), Chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee,

fawns over President Obama, seeking his autograph and proclaims that he is the best cheerleader for

High Speed Rail, yet decries the proposed spending.   Every rail project has become a boondoggle. 

Never revenue neutral or profitable.  Taxpayers say no but the politicians cannot resist

the temptation to receive stimulus money   Hello...it is not free money.  It comes with a price.  We have

to pay for it.  Read this article and see the video for yourself.  In the video, I do get a kick out of how

Hillary Clinton was left high and dry by Obama (1:20 on the clip).  Not even eye contact with his

own Secretary of State...awkward....

Getting the dialogue goingin America, starting next  Thursday:   The American Experiment:  Where Do

We Go From Here...

DC Works For US and the Young Democrats of Florida are hosting a true discussion on the liberal and

conservative ideology that is driving American politics.  We really can't say Democrat or

Republican as we find strong evidence of both ideologies on both

sides.

Join us for The American Experiment:  Where Do We Go From Here... (flyer attached) on Thursday, Feb.

3 at 7:00pm at Coral Springs Christian Academy 2251 Riverside Drive in Coral Springs.

Liberal Team:  

Franco Ripple - VP of Young Democrats and a member of Obama's transition team

Hon. Alexander Lewy - City Commissioner of Hallandale

Laura Hammad, Esq. - President of Young Democrats/Orlando

Conservative Team: David Gobeo, Esq. - Board Member of Republican Business Network

Sheela Venero - President of Young Republicans/Broward

Robert Lowry - Entrepreneur, President of Hollywood Republican Club

DC Works For US will be moderating the event.  This is not campaign related but an effort to

have a true discussion of the ideology behind the politics and if that ideology is carried through to its

logical conclusion, where does that lead our nation.  If you are liberal, bring your conservative friends

and family to this.  If you are conservative, bring your liberal associates.  We cannot move forward until

 we truly know where we are going.

Sample of topics covered in the discussion:  What is the role of the Constitution?  Does it empower

government or limit it?  The government is to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.  Define what it

is that we cannot do for ourselves?  Who do you trust more, Big Business or Government?  More than

this will be covered but this will give you an idea.  We will be streaming the event live, more details to

follow.

We look forward to seeing you there.  

Your fellow patriots,

Karin Hoffman and the DC Works For US team

Call the Senate Today To Vote Against DREAM Act

Dear Patriots,

DREAM Act has passed the House and is to be voted on today. The best strategy to use when you call is that no other country allows illegals.  I, personally, have lived in Mexico on a visa that had to be renewed every six months.  Our family was there legally, on a visa, but I was not permitted to go to public school (so cry me a river as I ended up going to the American School, best education I could have hoped for)  Also, I had my appendix taken out there but I had to go to a private hospital (good thing) as I was not permitted to receive their socialized health care.

No other country tolerates this.   Breaking the law for a long period time does not make it legal.

Holding Local Government Accountable

It is imperative that we take ownership of our cities and counties.  Commission meetings and school board meetings are being held with agenda items that are contrary to our Constitution.  How will we know unless we are there.  More than observing, participating and calling to light any harmful legislation.  This is the way we claim our government back, each level.  Novebmer 2nd, we began the process of claiming the House back.  Now the rest.

Our meeting in Coral Springs is this Thursday, December 2nd, at Wings Plus in Coral Springs at 7:00pm.

9880 Sample Road in Coral Springs 

Come learn more ways for you to become involved or email us on a national level.

Together we claim our nation back.

Bold Ways to Save Our Economy

We, the American people, need to be willing to sacrifice to save our country.  We need to stop thinking about how the government is going to help us and how we can help save our nation for our children. Initiatives like raising the retirement age and when Social Security can be collected.  It is imperative that we insist that parents pay for their children's breakfasts, lunches and in some cases dinners, instead of the school/government. 

State and local governments need to pay for local projects and not the Federal government.  Address the fraud and misues of Medicare and Medicaid or possibly even phasing it out over the next 15 – 20 years  (that would go a long way in fixing our healthcare system).   As in the private sector, we should insist that Federal employees make prevailing wages and put a freeze on all hiring.  Now we tell Congress,  "No more raises until you produce a surplus in the budget.   As a matter of fact, dock their pay by the same percentage as the deficit is over the federal income.  The list could continue of course.
