Mission Viejo’s library received a $15,000 grant from the state of California to offer “free” (taxpayer funded) workshops on how to get a job. Here’s information (at no cost to taxpayers) that would be even more beneficial to those seeking jobs or trying to stay employed. City hall should stop rezoning commercial properties to residential, thereby preserving potential businesses and jobs in Mission Viejo. Presenting taxpayer-funded workshops to help people compete for fewer jobs is not the best plan.

From Mission Viejo resident R.D.: “Please help spread the word. Of the 27 Amendments to the Constitution, seven took one year or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure. The proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: ‘Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.’"

Forwarded by Tea Party Patriot Linda Dorr: Who said the Founding Fathers are dated? Quotes like this one from James Madison show the wisdom of these men. "It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood." Do Madison’s words apply to our new healthcare bill or that atrocious finance bill?
