The Moon, Space And Beyond

While America waits the rest of the world is exploring, then launching rockets into the skies, with their eyes trained on the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and other planets beyond our Universe. Long ago America sent a spaceship, then landed on the moon then retrieved samples that were brought back to Earth. That is where America lost it vision. America shouldn't have just visited the moon it should have also established a base there for future astronauts or scientist to explore the planets, solar system and beyond. The technology is there, has been established for years and in fact our advances in all technology has increased, over one million times over. The question is if we are capable of building a space station above the Earth and able to send a robot rover's the size of a average car to Mars, then why haven't we established a space station on the moon or expanded our horizons? Is it because our leaders in Washington have lost their way or ambition? While many Americans ponder answers to these questions, the rest of the world is looking for ways to explore our great Universe or racing their way toward the Mars, the Moon, space and beyond. Lets reclaim our rightful place in Space, then wake up a sleeping generation, on the Moon, in Space and beyond.

Freedom Of Speech

The problem with this country is that there are to many groups, that represent to many different ideals.What these groups fail to realize is that if they weren't in this country, they wouldn't be recognize or allow to exist at all. That's the true beauty of living in America, where one has the ability and protection to express or to live  anyway they please and that is called  Freedom of Speech. The problem begins when one or even two groups get offended by comments or statements made by certain individuals.The media, even some well known politicians get involved combined with these groups, then blow these comments or statements well out of proportion and in the process enrages or divides a nation.What some citizens, media outlets, political groups and politicians fail to realize is that a person rights to express themselves openly and freely is protected by our founding fathers.

 Every American citizen has the right to express themselves or live the way they see fit, unless they are breaking  the law. If these groups, media outlets or politicians happen to get offended then they should consider that the country we live in is free.Which means if someone says or does something you don't like then all one has to do is close their doors, stop doing business with establishment or turn the channel and don't watch that type of programming at all. If someone expresses themselves or acts in a certain matter, one must always respect their right to do so. If we don't  respect others rights as American citizen's, then the country we live in will be void of our rights. Its my opinion that these so called groups, media outlets, political or third parties are only concern about their own personnel agenda's and not whats best for America. What's best for America is allowing anyone or any group to express themselves openly without pressure from any group, media outlet or political function.That's why they call it Freedom of Speech, a right to express or say things that some Americans don't agree with.

America Held Hostage

Nearly a week has gone by since budget talks have been staled and now the nations debt limit is on the horizon.With less than 10 days left, to raise the nations debt limit, Republicans are not only ignoring the American people, but also the nations business leaders.They are ignoring the glaring facts that pushing the nation to the brink of recession, not only hurts the American people, but also our creditability around the world. Now nations from around the world look at America as a laughing stock.Comedians and even our enemies laugh or make jokes at our inability to solve our own problems.What most Republicans, Democrats or political leaders don't realize is that the joke is on us the American people.While they fight to protect their own political agendas, the American public is held hostage because of it. Many government or non government workers depend on aid and income to make a living or to survive.While our leaders in Washington ,argue over their political agendas, allot of bills aren't being pain, some people won't eat, while others will get behind on their mortgages and then those who can't defend or fend for themselves will be without medical assistance. This is not what the American people voted for, in fact we voted for someone to lead. Most Americans don't care who wins or looses and almost all Americans didn't want the government to be shutdown because of Obama Care. America is being held hostage, while our leaders in Washington argue until one wins or looses.What our leaders don't realize is while they fight in Washington, the only one who really looses is the American people that voted for them.

How To Purchase Your Next Automobile

In a persons life there are two types of major purchases, buying a home and leasing or financing an automobile. With banks or finance company's offering rates as low as 1.9 percent on auto loans, one question remains how does one fit in the market place or how should one purchase an automobile? Before I explain how to purchase, then acquire financing an automobile there are two main items every consumer should be aware of and that's their budget or credit rating.

(1) Anyone that is interested in purchasing an auto should know their credit score, before they try to obtain any type of auto financing . The reason for this because a persons credit score or rating should be at a certain number in order to obtain financing. Scores ranging from 660-840 are considered above average scores and these types of credit ratings often get the best rates. Scores below these numbers sometimes command higher rates ranging from 8.5 percent and as even high as 27 percent, depending on that individual credit rating. Knowing your credit score or rating before a loan officer or a finance manager at car dealership, pulls it can help one avoid making costly mistakes. It can also save the consumer time, money and can keep them from being aggravated or frustrated during the buying process.

(2)Know what one can afford or their budget. Knowing this very important information can help a person from getting in debt or above their heads. Everyone should have a budget, know their limits and what they are willing to pay per month, including automobile insurance. Most major car dealerships will do everything in their power to maximize or make money on every customer. They will not only try to make a profit, but also try to make rate, then up sell them on items such as Credit Life, Disability, Gap Insurance and Automobile Protection plans.These items have a long rang of prices and can add as much as 40 dollars per payment.

How to purchase your next Automobile? By being smart, doing a little research, know your own credit score and also by knowing what you can afford. Always remember that everything can be negotiated , from the price of the automobile, interest rates from the banks and even the price on added items such as Automobile protection plans. The smartest thing anyone can do if they happen to have a good credit score, is to acquire a auto loan before they enter a car dealership. That way they will be in control of the buying process. For those with bad or limited credit you too can negotiate your interest rate to a limit. Because sometimes car dealerships are at the mercy of the banks or leading institutions and have no choice but to charge a higher rate. People with credit problems or issues should be prepared to prove their income and their residence. Most banks require an average income of $1800 a month to qualify for a loan. Its always smart to know your own situation before you decide to purchase a automobile. Always keep in mind that most sales people only make money when they make a sale, so please don't waste their time if you aren't really interested or serious about purchasing a automobile. Knowledge is power, the more someone knows about their own situation the easier it will be when one purchases their next automobile.

How Could They Know?

Today I was watching a news conference and a Republican from Louisiana, said these words that really bothered me, this is what the American public wants he said. My question to him or any other elected official is how could you know, how a average American citizen feels? After all most elected officials are rich and none of them know how it feels to work from one pay check to the next. They don't have to worry about feeding their children or about paying their bills. None of them know anything about real budgets, because most of them are out spending our tax dollars to eat at fancy restaurants, to take trips around the world and also to fill their pockets! They don't care that over 90 percent of the nation hate it when our elected officials fail to agree on something as simple as a budget bill. They also don't know or even care that these types of politics divide a great nation, but at the same time it unites us with one common thought.We all hate childish lawmakers or politicians who can't agree on anything! As government workers or those who depend on the government for income, living wages or food wait for our politicians to make a deal, those that are in Congress or the Senate are still getting paid. This is my thoughts and opinion to those Republicans or Democrat elected leaders, if you think you know how the average American citizen feels, then you really don't have a clue! If you really want to understand how the rest of America feels, try living in their shoes for a month or so.When I hear an elected official claim that he or she knows what most Americans want, need or feel.One thought comes to mind," how could they know? Most of them are out of touch with reality or on some magical realm that most of us clearly don't understand.

Republican Politics Are Bad For America

If you haven't notice, every time there is a budget, bill to vote on, women rights or other issues, Republicans respond with something negative. Instead of compromising or offering something new of their own(like a budget bill of their own) they instead offer nothing but criticism or negativity. These type of politics are bad for America, bad for, hurts business, keeps the economy from growing, stalls the market and its also bad for the constituents or party it represents. It seems like their only focus is to find new ways to hurt the poor or the middle class.It has gotten so bad that some Republicans even in their own party members don't agree with this type of politics. Not only does this type of infighting hurt the Republicans in the future when it comes to being reelected or elected in the future.But it also hurts Americas creditability and image around the world. Most major polls find that more than half of American citizens polled don't approve of this type of politics. Republicans as a whole need to reshape their platform ,come up with more viable solutions and reshape their image. If a America is to move forward Republicans , Democrats  and the President must come together for the better good of the country they serve. Negative politics are not good for America and especially not good for those who are elected to serve.

Republicans Still Playing Games With American Lives

As usual House Speaker John Boehner and other Republican Leaders gloat as they make an amendment to another impassable bill.While millions of American workers, average citizens and businesses are held hostage in the process.Doing so is wreak less because this not only hurts most American citizens, but it also threatens Americas security. America can't afford another government shut down, while our elected leaders hash out their differences. Republicans should pick another time to fight or wait until another President is elected to change a bill that has already become law. No victory can be declared while average American citizens suffer. If Republican leaders or Tea Party Members keep playing games with American lives, they will be remembered at election time. Then another Democrat will be elected President while, the Republican leadership who chose to engage in gamesmanship or politics instead of doing whats best for America will be watching from home.With a Us shutdown likely many American and government workers will  be without a paycheck.What's even more shameful is that those who serve in our military will also hold the burden of an irresponsible government. Republicans, Tea Party members stop playing games with American lives!Govern and do whats best for America!Those that are concerned should call or write their congressman and their Senators. Voice your concerns, let them know that America isn't an bargaining chip and that the government should be playing games with America!
