Title: Calvin Coolidge - non partisan

"I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form."

Calvin Coolidge

this should be copied and sent to every member of Congress and the Senate by each constituant.

Sadly, Jerry, that will never happen and Obama will suck us dry!

Once described as an elegant listener -- he could be silent in five different languages.

;)

Unrevealing about personal thoughts, he destroyed all his personal presidential files. Wife Grace saved a few.
