I don't think many people remember that back in the 1980's that the Statue of Liberty needed to be totally revamped. Lee Iacoca went to the school children and asked them to send in their pennies to pay for the resoration, and boy did they they sent in over a Million Dollars and it was done , Not by CONGRESS BUT THE LITTLE CHILDREN!! Now I know that ALL the American People have lots of Loose Change just hanging around the house, Piggy Bank, etc. If we pull together we might not be able to put that much of a dent in the Astronomical Debt that we did not vote for But we can't depend on our CROOKED ELECTED OFFICIALS TO DO THIS, IT IS UP TO US... I am a recent widower but I am worried about my country and children. But I refuse to hand this over to some WASHINGTON CROOK TO HANDLE,but We as Americans can do it ourselves as long as we keep it away from the Politians. I do not want anything monetary from this just need someone that feels the way I do, to try and get a Website set up so True Christian Americans who Believe in our Constitution to contact me or just Do it Yourself. Please think about this HARD For Our children and Grandchildren are depending on us and we are the only ones that can do it. Thank you for your time and God bless You and Our Sacred COUNTRY!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA

is soon parted.
This administration and the 12 years of Republican controlled congress and 2 years of Democrat controlled congress have proved that the people's servants cannot be trusted to spend the people's money.
All future spending bills should require a referrendom vote by the people before passage.
Short of that the spending will just continue as usual.

Instead of Congress giving the money directly to the thieves, why not force the thieves to reduce every mortgage by the same amount? This way everyone is treated equally. And if people can't still pay their mortgages, too bad.
