There is a growing uneasiness in this Nation over the wars, the unemployment, the loss of jobs
overseas, the debt, the inability of the congress to work effectively as well as the general lack
of civility and respect for one another. In the Nations long history, there has been a tradition of
third party movements seeking to right all the wrongs of the Nation. For one reason or another, they
have all failed to to survive for very long. Who is to blame for all that seems to have gone wrong.The
answer is very simple, WE THE PEOPLE HAVE GONE WRONG!
The people of this Nation nominate and elect our representatives from both National Parties. We The
People, tend to believe 30 second sound bites instead of immersing ourselves in the issues of the day
and voting for people that have common sense solutions, instead of smooth talkers telling folks what
they think folks want to hear. We have become single issue voters rather then voters with a broad
concern what is best ,on a wide range of issues for the Nation and its People.
Some basic fact for people to consider
1. It was both political Parties that agreed to allow jobs to be outsourced to the rest of the world.
2. It was both Parties that allowed the removal of laws that limited banks and investment companies
and allowed them to do foolish investments that would wreck out economic strength.
3. Does anyone truly believe that we can fight a war in Iraq, Afghanistan and world wide anti terrorist war
without a wartime tax to pay for the troops, equipment and supplies?
4. Does anyone truly believe that both Parties can continue to create new spending programs without the
revenue to pay for them?
6. No matter which party is in power, does anyone think that the enormous and lengthy list of problems
can be corrected in less then 10 - 20 years?
7. Does anyone really believe, that our elected representatives care about, we the people, more then they
care about the lobbyists that fund their reelection campaigns.
Yes, the people are angry and a number have joined the teabag party. They have no ideas as to how to resolve the problems other then to yell and shout and scream epithets at elected officials.There solutions seems to be ,to elect politicians that will never raise a single tax, even if it means the that the Nation shall
fail. They wish to be safe behind a huge military but never wish to pay the cost of that military. The loudest
cries against Health Care reform comes from folks in the very states that have the highest percentage of
uninsured people. The tea baggers demand that the Government keep its grubby paws off Medicare, even
though Medicare is a Government run and funded program. The tea baggers pay speakers large amounts of
money to appear and say absolutely nothing. That propose nothing to solve the problems.
When this Nation goes to the polling places to vote for Federal representatives, may they think clearly about
electing folks who will care more about their constituents, and the Nation rather then about getting re elected. May we elect moderates of both parties ,that want to work together on solving the problems that
we the people elect them to solve. This may mean that we the people will have to forget about beingl liberal
conservatives, Rinoes, ultra conservatives and single issue voters. We will once again have to start acting
like Americans who care about all the people of this nation. We are not North, South, East or West. We are
one people, one Nation indivisible.........I pray to Heaven above that we are able to remember that.
Tea bags are for brewing up a beverage, not for running a Nation.
