Debt ceilings are intended to be limits set to protect us
from bankruptcy....they are not intended to be goals to
reached and exceed over and over. Otherwise, why
have a debt ceiling? Simple math says you cannot
spend money you do not have to pay for debt you
cannot afford. Our constitution also guarantees that
the government cannot unreasonably tax us for money
we legally earned just because they want to spend more
money.
Respect and Good Manners empower you with knowledge
that allows you to develop good self esteem, common sense,
and the ability to make confident decisions on your own and
to recognize good decisions by others. Good Manners and
respect enable you to work with others whether you like them
or not. Our common bond is we all want to be treated with
respect and we all have to work together for the benefit of our
country and all of our citizens, not just one favorite party.
AYOGM Tip by Margery Sinclair: “People with good
manners have a lifetime advantage in job situations and
personal relationships. Most negotiations are impossible
without good manners on both sides. That explains why
diplomats are famed for their courtesy.”
AYOGM Tip by Margery Sinclair: “A knowledge of
etiquette is the road to good manners. Behave decently to
others, show consideration when there is conflict, and
maintain composure when displeased. Knowing etiquette
makes you feel relaxed and confident.”
Beware of any one, or any group, for any reason who does
not respect you or fellow law abiding citizens...which
includes all men, women, and children of all ages, races,
nationalities, wealth, health or education levels. Beware of
those who pit one part of our country against another.
When freedoms are taken from one group, they will soon
be taken from the other group. Do not be so willing to give
up your freedoms in order to be taken care of by the
government. Bigger government is not the answer.
Independent, honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens are
the answers.
Without laws we would have no protection from those who
chose to not behave in a civilized manner. The government
cannot make a law for every possible transgression; therefore,
we depend on our citizens to willingly hold themselves to a
higher standard by using respect and good manners towards
each other. Without respect and manners we would become a
land of the uncivilized. You would not like it. Only the meanest
and strongest would survive. Very few would have any rights.
We would not be safe in our own homes without laws to protect
us; however, it is not the laws that protect us..... it is the
honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens who respect and honor
the laws of the land that make us safe. Criminals do not care
about the laws. If the laws are not fair to all, we must change
the laws; until then, we abide by the laws.
We must be strong enough to protect ourselves until help arrives.
We must be willing to stand united as civilized citizens. We
cannot be passive and dependent on someone else, or the
government, to take care of us. You are not free if you cannot
stand on your own.
In 2011, our country is split almost 50 – 50. Fifty percent
of the population is dependent on the government and pay no taxes....
they basically are slaves and have willingly given up too many
hard fought freedoms. When you are dependent on the
government or any one, you are not free.
Fifty percent of the population works hard and are honorable,
civilized, law abiding citizens who pay taxes on legally, hard
earned income. We are all citizens of the United States of
America and must be civil and work together.
United We Stand – Divided We Fall.
Beware of those who attack half of our country and try to divide
us. It matters not which side you are on. It matters that we all
work together for the benefit of all, not just one group or another.
What is good for one, should be good for all. Vote for honorable
leaders who try to unite us as a country, not those who want to
divide us.
We The People, USA citizens, have power and do not use it. If
you do not like the wealthy getting wealthy, do not buy their
products. Start your own business or support a local business
or a local farmer. Work together as groups. Large quantities are
cheaper than smaller quantities. You do not have the right to take
away something from someone else who has worked hard for their
legal income.
If you expect others to follow higher standards, such as safe food,
safe drinking water, safe cars, safe planes, safely built buildings,
etc. you should also expect the same high standards from yourself.
We all have a civic duty to behave in a civilized manner. Being an
honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen is all that we expect of
each of our citizens. Holding yourself to a higher standard is easy when
you know how. It has nothing to do with how much money you have
or do not have. Good Character begets Good Self Esteem which
equals honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens. You can have a lot
of money and still not be a person of honorable character. If you
ignore the laws and use illegal drugs, you are the one empowering
the drug dealers....not an honorable thing to do!
We each have a civic duty to treat our self and others with respect.
Do not allow any one to enslave you or abuse you.
My favorite quote by John Polk:
“If you take care of your family, your business, and you do what
is right and honorable, everything else will take care of itself.”

recover from a deficit of honorable, civilized, law abiding
citizens.

Honorable Politicians - Do They Exist?
I support all honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens who try to unite our country rather than being divisive.
United States of America’s motto is United We Stand – Divided We Fall. Both the national parties seem to have forgotten this. Beware of any candidate that pits one part of the country against another. We are all in this together and must find common ground.
I found the following campaign ads refreshing and hopeful. They unite Americans rather than being divisive. We all want to be treated with respect no matter what party we belong to. This candidate tells what he is going to do and doesn't tear down the opposition in the process.
John Polk is a Republican candidate running for State Senator in Mississippi.

Happy July 4th - Independence Day
July 4th is a reminder each year that we fought to be free, independent people capable of being personally responsible for our own actions and electing our government officials from among ourselves.....not people that sit helplessly by dependant on the government do everything for us. Our Declaration of Independence was written to free us from the oppressive government of Great Britain in 1776.
Thank you to all the Veterans who have fought for us each year since the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence is a document that We The People of the United
States of America honor and respect as our guidelines on how all citizens are to be recognized as free people guaranteed equal opportunities to succeed. We expect our citizens to be honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens. The one thing each of us is in control of is our “Sacred Honor.”
The Declaration of Independence is nothing more than a piece of paper if the citizens of the United States are not honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens who respect the laws of the land
Today is a good time to reread the Declaration of Independence and notice the similarities between the oppressive British Crown and the oppressiveness of bigger and bigger government. When government is not working for the good of all its people, it becomes oppressive. When government officials pit one group of citizens (poor) against another group of citizens (wealthy) it becomes divisive.
The United States of America became the greatest nation on earth when we all believed the motto: United We Stand – Divided We Fall

The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

June 14 - Flag Day!
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I also pledge to be an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen.
Our flag is a symbol of freedom for all....not just one party.....
not just one class.......not just one religion......not for just the
wealthy......it represents freedom and justice for all our citizens.
Our nation is only as strong as our people; not just our government.
We are a nation of honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens who strive
to be the best we can. We expect to be rewarded for honest labor and
not have the government take it away from us just because they think
they can spend it better than we can. We depend on every person having
the same opportunities to decide how hard they will work and to be able
to work at whatever is of our choosing. We depend on the majority of
our people to be honorable, civilized, law abiding citizens. We respect
the laws of the land which enables us to respectfully live together
as communities of large groups of people and to feel safe to freely move
about in our communities.
When we no longer respect or obey our laws, we will no longer be a
civilized nation of free people.
We tend to root for the underdog but we want everyone to succeed.
We want leaders who unite us as a country. Beware of those who
pit one class against another. It doesn't matter which group you
tear down.....it is not beneficial for our country. We must find
leaders who know how to unite us on common ground that is beneficial
to all. We want a government that can unite us as independent, free,
honorable people capable of being responsible for our own actions
.....not a government to take care of us as dependent, incapable people.
After all, we do freely elect our government officials from among ourselves.
Freedom is not free. We must be vigilant. If we ignore our freedoms
and take them for granted, we could easily lose them. Too many people
are willing to give up too many freedoms in order to let the government
take care of them. When you are dependent, you are not free.
Our flag is a reminder that
United We Stand - Divide We Fall.
Being an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen is a way to give
something back to our country. "A Year of Good Manners" by
Margery Sinclair and Jan Polk ($27.95) provides 365 tips on how
to behave as an honorable, civilized, law abiding citizen along
