This message is directed to the United States House of Representatives. Do you really know what the hell you are doing? Is your agenda the same as that of the American People? Do we have a problem? Several problems? Have you or can you identify them?

Allow me to give you a hint. It is NOT We the People.

Further hint, it is the faulty, flailing leadership; not just in the House but also and to a greater degree in the Senate, but surprise, surprise, at the Executive level. Who has the equipment, tools if you will, to bring a screeching halt to the runaway excesses of the government?

Must I tell you where you should begin? Well, I intend to do precisely that. You dudes talked the talk; now, you are expected to walk the walk.

When you are an inexperienced herpetologist cornered by a Burmese Python or by a King Cobra, you take whatever weapon you have available and cut off its damned head. End of threat.

In today’s problem, you have been led to believe that you are between a rock and a hard place. You possess the real weapon. You control the purse strings. Just smile at Harry Reid and Barack Obama and pull the strings until the bursa, as in disbursements, is securely closed. Shut down the government. Nothing catastrophic will happen. America has been through shutdowns before. No compromises; Andrew Carnegie noted, “The ‘morality of compromise’ sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don’t compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.” You hold the winning hand; no need to compromise. Do all you have the power, right and will to do.

A great place to begin would be to cut the head off the serpent. Obama has committed enough offenses for three or four presidencies. It is not a grave decision; it is a prudent and necessary one. You are not playing college football where it appears to be unsportsmanlike to run up the score. America has been and is being maligned by the acts and indecisiveness of Obama. His crimes and high misdemeanors are too numerous to enumerate. His unilateral acts of war against Libya are sufficient cause for Articles of Impeachment to be presented to the Senate for trial. At the very least, we will learn who he really is.

We have provided to you a magnificent edifice in which to conduct the people’s business. Some courageous and dedicated men and women have occupied the chairs therein; we expect even more of you. You must undo the bad which has been done. You are in debt to We the People, so pay up. The House Judiciary committee in engaged in folly compared to the offenses of Obama. He is top priority. You have the authority, the opportunity, the duty to impeach Obama. All that appears to be lacking is the will.
