Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

know nothing;

You and I come from the same mold, we have the same attitude about what is happening with this country.

But, without spending to much time on the cause, you can piece everyhting togther real fast, The November Election. We knew what the results were going to evolve into, with out a dought, because the sermon was for everyone you mentioned.
If there is a question about the problem, just watch, Judge Judy, Judge Joe and Judge Alex, you will know in seconds what our real problem really is and how they will continues to grow.

It will create quite a stir, but, we need to turn this country back about 50 years and never repeat the same mistakes going forward.

Your article really needs broad publication, for it's suited for every newspaper in the country, including everymail box for broad distribution.

We need to immeditatly vote for term limits, no more that two term for either house, we need to establish a line item veto, a two year trial period. we need to establish the official langauge as English without fail.

These are suggests to get the ball rolling, because there will be much to change for the roll back to be achieved.

Remember it's not a question should these suggests take place, it's when.

What are you thoughts.
