Next, We Meet at the Polls

Black Sunday has passed and it appears that a majority of our elected representatives have decided they do not care what we, the American People want. They have forgotten who their bosses are and instead think they are some sort of deity or royalty. Our next move is to exercise our authority as their employers and fire them.

We are a representative republic and as such elect representatives to represent us. Our Founding Fathers intended that these representatives would represent the desires of the constituents in their districts. The Founding Fathers intended that the constituents in their districts would be able to contact or lobby their representatives, making their desires known.

The current group of “representatives” does not answer phone calls and ignore emails from their constituents. When these constituents spend their hard-earned money to travel to Washington DC to lobby them, they turn a deaf ear. This is not what our Founding Fathers intended. If they were alive today, they would join us in letting them know the errors in their ways.

Now that the massive healthcare bill, or fiasco, has passed and only awaits a signature from the President, we are left with only one choice. We must meet at the polls in November.

It is time to begin searching for candidates for office who will represent the people and not issue mandates on them. It is time for us the American People to speak loudly, letting them know how we feel about their deafness with regard to our intentions. I encourage everyone to find good candidates and get involved in helping elect them. If you have the money donate to their campaigns. If you lack the funds, volunteer your time knocking on doors, making calls, stuffing envelopes or anything else you can do.

We have never been more unified with a common purpose of taking our country back. I know we are tired from the recent health care battle but there are men and women fighting overseas right now to keep us save. I know they are tired too but we need to fight to insure that the government they are fighting to protect is a government that is by the people and for the people.

I urge you to join me in this fight.
