My e mail reply to Obama's e mail request for support for his health plan.

Respectfully Mr. President,
Emphatically No!!!!
What is important to me is freedom. So that I can be a productive citizen, providing for my own needs with as little Government interference as possible. The government has already stolen my FICA and self-employment tax contributions and created an unfunded liability instead of setting up the trust that was supposed to be for my retirement. If I had put that money in a low interest CD, I would be wealthy now. Instead the so called representatives of the people are destroying our REPUBLIC and creating an elitist regime. Americans would rather take care of our own and let the government protect us from attack of other countries. We want you to protect our freedom! Not steal our money and control our steps under the guise of helping us.

Corruption, lies, immorality, hidden agendas; that is what the ones in Washington want to practice.They are not even paying their own tax obligations! They put rules on others that they refuse to put on themselves. Are they somehow more human than we? Tell me, why should I trust them with my health, my money or my environment?

The United States was founded on honoring God and yet our leaders are practicing wickedness in His face. I would suggest you read the biography of a man named John Calvin who, at 27 years old, wrote principles much like our Constitution. It is believed that the framers of our constitution followed much of his thought in the writing of our constitution. They may not have all agreed on every point of theology but they were all keenly aware of the fact that God was superior to them. And that they would be held accountable.

Men will always rebel against God and God will always use the wicked to get the attention of His people but woe to the ones who destroy the people of God.

No government is not the answer. Those in charge do not even know the question. Yet they want to put the citizenry under their total control.
My rights are not under the government, however. As a citizen of the United States of America my rights are provided by God and not this or any government.
Do you not realize that God is sovereign and that you or anyone else cannot thwart His plan. You do not want to be His ignoble vessel. Please, stop this insanity. Many have died for a free America.
Stop worrying about the "whatever" mouse. God has him covered. Worry more of the souls of men. You were appointed by God for this time to be president. Do you want to advance the agenda of a Sovereign almighty God who created everything? A God who can of His own volition speak and we are dust or elevate us to the position of ruler? Or do you want to advance your own agenda or even worse that of the very enemies of God?
Do you want to advance the agenda of communism or freedom? Truth or a lie? Do you want to build or tear down?
Whatever you and those around you choose, we as a citizenry are somewhat at your mercy. But you will be held accountable by the one true God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Learn of Him and He will help you.
Thank you,
Kathy Presley

Another with my name.... definitely not me.

I noticed when googling my name that their is another Kathy Presley that is not me. She seems a bit or maybe a lot gutsier than me. We definitely have different approaches to life. So if any one out there is curious. I do not have an alter ego. I do not know that lady. I am sure she is very nice but not me.

Are we ready?

Are we ready for what is coming? It appears that a large crowd of our fellow citizens are not happy living in a free country and would prefer it be changed to something akin to the ideolgies of Marx or Lenin.I am not sure why they want someone else to call the shots. I cannot fathom why one would want another to be responsible for their welfare. I kind of enjoy making my own mistakes rather than have someone else make theirs at my expense.

Failure is a great teacher. It instructs us to never do it that way again. Freedom allows for failure. Government dominance demands freedom to fail.

Are we ready to check in with the great society before we come or go; before we buy or sell? Do we want them to decide our careers for us? How many children we will have? When we can live or when we must die?

I do not. Do you?

The Visit

Well, I marked off my calendar and think I only answered a couple of calls. And it was so much more than worth it. I got to know four little boys just a little bit better. I cherish every second they are here. It will only be a short time and instead of being excited about coming to Granny's and Poppy's they will have other things to do and other places to go that are more exciting. Granny and Poppy will fade from priority to duty. I can hear it now. "We have to go see them. We don't know how much longer they will be around. This could be our last visit." That is what my Aunt used to tell her kids about the half hour visit to my Great Grandmother's. I would like to think I will always be a cool Granny but realism prepares my heart for the day when I am just seen as an old bore.
But I choose to ignore that day and be fun as long as I have the opportunity.
