It is just getting difficult to take any more. By and large the voting public has no idea what's going on as it relates to what their elected representatives, senators, governors and presidents are doing to our nation and states. I think at least half the people just vote for people or issues based on 30-60 second sound bytes, what a candidate looks like and who promises them the most goodies. I just wonder how many voters actually check out their candidates and study what they believe, stand for, how they have voted in the past and what their ideological bent is and the effects these beliefs will have on our nation.
How can we the people put people in office who spend our hard earned money without even giving it a thought. The BailOut for instance. How is it every year they, our elected representation, spend more money than they confiscate through taxes? Then to fix the shortfall they just create new taxes or raise existing ones. How long would you and I last if we lived outside our budget all the time.
We are slowly giving up our freedoms so insidiously you hardly notice it unless you are looking. What happened to our unalienable rights granted by our creator of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Why is more and more government intruding into our lives from every angle? Who does the government, we the people represented by those we elected, think they are telling businesses how to make a product and how much they can charge for it. What happened to the cornerstones of our nation? I think it was something called capitalism and free markets.
These examples are just a tease of the massive government intrusion into our personal, business and professional lives. I really don't care if the elected official is democrat or republican. Their actions as they say are louder than words. Are these individuals enacting laws limiting our freedoms and shackling our markets. Or are they removing these barriers allowing the free market to function without any interference. Our country doesn't need any government help, it just doesn't need government interference.
Our elected representatives of, we the people, need to understand the thought behind and original intent of the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. To tell you the truth it appears to me that 90% of our elected representatives of we the people haven't a clue presidents included.
The entire population of the USA needs an indepth course in US History and Civics 101. We need to reestablish that which made us great! I am afraid if we don't do so soon we may loose our great nation. That's why this The Second Revolution is so important. Let's all educate ourselves and our neighbors. Lets take back our country with ballets on election day with informed representation. An informed country is the only weapon we have to take back what our forefathers gave us to protect, with their lives. Along with all those since the First Revolution who have sacrificed defending and protecting the constitution of these United States.
We can do this. It starts now. Please lets get this blog going, their is strenght in numbers.
God Bless America!
