The problems with John Murtha are too numerous to mention, but the problems are not unique to Murtha.  The problems in Washington D.C. is the way they do business.

There is no longer a representative form of government operating in the USA.  What has happened in Washington D.C. is that we have allowed now, for far too long, a group of elected officials to create so many laws, rules, regulations, departments, agencies, bureaus and commissions based on special interests of individual groups, individual corporations, and individual political aims of a few, loud and vociferous group of meddlers.

And, the congress of the United States, instead of being representative of the nation as a whole, they have become representative of those who pay them the most money through lobbyists and to those who contribute millions to their campaign coffers in getting elected, and by those they appease and groom into becoming voting blocs, with no concern for costs or outcomes of their legislative decisions.

And, the bureaucracy itself, consistig of all the regulatory and other agencies, departments, commissions, and bureaus has become their own self-perpetuating empires that have lost all sight of what they were created for to begin with.  Feeding and servicing this out of control bureaucracy has become too costly, even if any of the agencies, departments, etc. were doing any good at all, they are too big and too costly to service.  But, unfortunately, there is not even one federal agency, department, commission or bureau that does any good at all, and in fact, most of the problems these agencies, etc. were formed to solve have always became worse, as the agency, dept., etc. became more interested in it's own Size, Power, and Growth to Empire Status. And, to insure it's own existence and continued funding for growth, these agencies, etc. are forever finding "New Victims" to serve by "Creating New Victims" to serve, or "Find New Problems" to solve By "Creating New Problems" to solve, thus causing more problems. 

And, this band has played on now to the point that we now resemble the old USSR, which had become a Totalitarian Federal Bureaucracy which existed for it's own sake, and in order to Service The Bureaucracy, the State Became More and More Fascistic and Totalitarian that it had to Force It's Citizens At Gunpoint to support and fund it, and to keep it's citizens from Revolting Against it.

If we continue down this Bureaucratic Machine Empire Status Building, the United States of America is soon to Become a Democracy Held At Bay by Gun Point.  If you examine all the so-called Progressive Legislation being proposed by this Current Congress and President, you will see that it is aimed at Ending All Vestiges of a Free And Sovereign Republic.  Gun Banning Legislation, Cap and Tax, Socialized Medicine, Taxing Of Every Commodity you use, controlling everything you eat, etc. 

Wake Up America.

We must Downsize the Size, Power, Spending and Control of the United Soviet States of America that now exists in Washington D.C. and coming soon to every state in the union, as more and more states become Socialistic Dictatorships such as California, New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, Washington, Oregon and others.

And, coming to your own state soon, as the local, and state governments more and more mimic the Washington D.C. bureaucracy as the D.C. bureaucracy puts more and more mandates on local and state governments by blackmail.  The feds tell states what to do by saying, "If you do not do this or that, we will withhold federal funding to your state for roads, infrastructue, etc. if you do not adopt our Suggestions."  The Federal Bureaucrats now believe that they, the government has it's own money and funding. They forget that it is, We The People, who send our Tax Dollars to them, and that It Is Our Money, not theirs.  We must reverse this trend, or all is lost.

Wake Up America. Let's take our country back, one community, one city, one county, one state at a time.  Most all power of the government is supposed to be at the Local and State Levels of Government, but we have now allowed this federal Dictatorships to Dictate by Blackmail.  Enough is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
