The American Revolution came about because of circumstances that are very similar to the ones we are in now. The battle flared and we won our Independence from Great Britain, not because we were sick of paying the high taxes they levied on us, that was true enough…but the real crux of the conflict was summed up in the war cry of the times, from the colonists, when they insisted on No Taxation Without Representation.

The Original Americans were ok with being taxed, they just weren’t ok with being taxed by a government that really didn’t give them a voice…didn’t allow them to have representation and decision making in what was being done with these taxes.

Sound familiar?

Are you represented by the following items in the so called Obama stimulus package?  He’s calling it a stimulus package, but if you look at this list you can see it’s really taxation without representation….because I don’t know about you, but none of this stuff represents my interests…nor do I think it represents the interests of helping an economy recover:

• $75 million for “smoking cessation activities.”

• $200 million for public computer centers at community colleges.

• $75 million for salaries of employees at the FBI.

Do you feel represented by anything on the above list?  Do you think anything on the above list will stimulate the economy?  If not, you have to start questioning what’s going on in The New White House. It’s your right to do so, and we encourage you to exercise your rights now, so they won’t be so easily swept away buy the new wave of socialism the Obama Administration brings.

And, if you really need rubber stamps….especially custom made rubber stamps, customized self inking rubber stamps, custom ink stamps, address stamps, return address stamps, pre inked stamps,

date stamps, permanent ink stamps, UV inks, specialty inks and pads, notary supplies and a whole lot more in terms of marking devices and replacement pads, you’re far better off shopping at the Rubber Stamp Champ at www.RubberStampChamp.com.

For example….most places these days, you wind up paying more than $20 for a custom made Ideal 50.  You walk into an office supply store and order from a catalog and it’s going to cost you upwards of $25 to get a customized ideal 50 and then you’re going to wind up waiting a good three weeks before you get the stamp in your hands.

We do the same stamp, the same Ideal 50, the same custom self inking rubber stamp….only here’s the difference…we do it complete for $6.25….and we do it in one day.  That’s the way it is, everyday online at The Rubber Stamp Champ.  If you buy rubber stamps at all, get them from The Champ.
