ATTENTION FELLOW FACEBOOK HOSTAGE NEGOTIATORS!

It seems that Facebook post reach has dropped drastically throughout the second quarter of 2013 for a growing number of users. While some page's 'People Talking About This' numbers have remained unchanged, the reach of posts has dropped by more than 50% and some people reported they have seen a 90% drop in reach. FACEBOOK seems to be using our hard work and in some cases lots of money in growing our reach and then twisting and manipulating the data to it's advantage...unfairly. Remember too that most brands have already paid Facebook advertising to build their fan bases. To pay more money to reach those same fans is not only, not right, but a very poor business decision for all involved. It’s like running an ad on your radio station and when the customers show up at your place of business, you have to pay more money to talk to them. Another problem is that Facebook is also limiting who sees the likes/comments/share of your supporters too. Everyone has been curtailed on some level, at least from what I've been seeing and hearing from more and more users of Facebook. So not only are fewer people seeing your stuff, but fewer people are seeing when someone likes, shares or comments on your stuff. In this media marketing experts opinion, we are looking in real time at the death spiral of a social phenomenon that is finally running its course, that will make what happened to MYSPACE look microbial if not fixed SOON. Not saying the decline will happen over night, at least like the destruction Facebook did to it's many millions of users. Many of which wish that it would, but that would happen only if the world was actually a fair place to do business. And by the look of the last stock value and push back from Facebook investors on the stagnant performance since the IPO. We may see some justice hopefully sooner than later.  As for now, I will keep using Facebook as I have in the past. NEVER paying to reach the people I already worked hard to get and that Facebook now holds hostage and expects a ransom every time I want to reach them. P.S...You may want to go back and freshen up your website you have probably been neglecting since being suckerberged into Facebook.   - Craig Bushon,  Co-Founder of Be First in Media 

Couldn't say it better myself!

You might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

 

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.  (thousands of species disappear every day)

 

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a  library book, but not to vote who runs the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce soda pops, but not a 24-ounce soda pop because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If an 80-year-old woman can be strip-searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more … you might  live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”… you  might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and free cell phones … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of Unemployment checks  and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

 

I rest my case..

Rising fuel cost! There is no mystery about this! When America has a President that doesn't pressure the cartel and has NO energy plan, because it plays into his $6 per gallon plan. This is what we get folks! This is no joke, the Trojan Horse is now open and we better be ready for the battle ahead. 

Please don't be so naive, the President of the United States has the responsibility to have a STRONG energy policy that opens up our Federal land, OUR land, the land of the American Citizen not special interest like Sierra Club or whatever made up paper champion WE THE PEOPLE are suppose to be afraid of. Our cost per gallon in America should be $1.25 per gallon, are you kidding me $3.75 per gallon and rising! Please research how much American citizen owned land that we are not allowed to extract OUR energy from, the energy YOU and I and all the rest of Americans OWN, NOT the Federal Government.

Below the ground, the federal government (American Citizens) own the rights to mineral and energy leases, from which they can receive royalties, rents, and bonus payment. estimates show those assets are worth $128 trillion. That's around eight times the national debt.

"I'm 83 and I'm Tired"

I'm 83. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National
Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious
health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly
40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my
income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as
though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired. 

I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who
don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take
the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy
to earn it.    

I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I
can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives   and
daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight
offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't
"believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning
teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the
genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and
Shari'a law tells them to.  
  
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let
Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques
and madrassa Islamic schools to preach   hate in Australia , New Zealand ,
UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to
fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other
Arab country to teach love and tolerance..   

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global
warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help
support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ
rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses   
or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off? 
  
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all
parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful
mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was   getting
caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.  

I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and
actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination
or big-whatever for their problems. 

I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and
early 20's be-deck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making
themselves un-employable and claiming money from the Government. 

Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not
going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for
my granddaughter and their children.   Thank God I'm on the way out and not
on the way in.

"We The People" must stand up for the 10th Amendment.: Americans must not allow the superseding of the Constitution.

Adoption of the Constitution of 1787 was opposed by a number of well-known patriots including Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and others. They passionately argued that the Constitution would eventually lead to a strong, centralized state power which would destroy the individual liberty of the People. Many in this movement were given the poorly-named tag “Anti-Federalists.”

The Tenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of 1787 largely because of the intellectual influence and personal persistence of the Anti-Federalists and their allies.

When states and local communities take the lead on policy, the people are that much closer to the policymakers, and policymakers are that much more accountable to the people. Few Americans have spoken with their president; many have spoken with their mayor.

Adherence to the Tenth Amendment is the first step towards ensuring liberty in the United States. Liberty through decentralization.

The Citizens of the United States of America must not allow the Federal Government to any longer supersede the US Constitution.

No matter how we want to look at the GOP, whether as RINO, not Conservative enough or whatever. The fact is, we are 10's of Trillions in debt, we are distancing ourselves from the Constitution more and more each election, we haven't won a war, conflict or whatever you want to call them since we left the WAR department and created the DEFENSE department. Our energy policy is holding our citizens in needless hardship. With no GOP in DC answers to these and many other issues too long to list here.  The GOP, if it wants to survive, it MUST prove to the base they LOST, to the ones that didn't show up in 2012 and the Independents they wish they could have , but DON’T. The GOP must show they are relevant. GOP must PROVE new leadership has arrived and is going to LEAD through example not just TALK! - Craig Bushon

NEVER FORGET! Paul Revere road to warn the Militia, the people who were armed and ready to defend themselves, their family and country. He called on the very people that our Founders eventually protected with that same Right in the 2nd Amendment. NEVER FORGET THAT FOLKS...NEVER! -Craig Bushon

We need to stop the growing blur between actual news and the advertising agenda of main stream media outlets that masquerade there agenda as news. This is a very dangerous misuse of the freedom of the press. The only way people can make an intelligent decision is by the reviewing of only the facts. - Craig Bushon   craigbushonshow.com

"Thank God for Piers Morgan! If not for his consistent push against the Constitution of these United States of America. Reminding us, of our founding battle against King George the third and the disdain he had for George Washington and the very idea of America being a free nation. The irony that a British man Piers Morgan would challenge us on why we need a 2nd Amendment and an unlimited right to bare arms. When it was the very British who tried to destroy us through a Tyrannical push on our land." - Craig Bushon 

Nation Under God?

It's interesting to me that we are missing the biggest point from our Founders. That all of our rights are given to us from God. Our hedge of protection for our freedom as individuals spelled out in our founding documents are really in my assessment a compass for us to follow as a nation under God. With such simplicity our founders gave us all we need in as imperfect as each of us a document. Paraphrasing a quote from Mr. Franklin " I have given you a Republic if you can keep it" In essence "Free Will" and can a free people Govern themselves? I believe ALL of our troubles stem from the arrogance of man thinking he or she can build hedges of protection bigger and stronger than the last attack that breached our walls of man made protections. Rather than turning to whom our Founders did, our Creator or in the words of many of them God.........

“We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that ‘except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.’ I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel; we shall be divided by our little partial, local interests, our projects will be confounded and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a byword down to future ages. And, what is worse, mankind may hereafter, from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing government by human wisdom and leave it to chance, war, or conquest.” (Benjamin Franklin)
