While you are pondering on that, read a letter sent to me by one of my subscribers that Glenn Beck read on his radio show. He received a letter from a woman in Arizona. She writes an open letter to our so-called representatives. She speaks for me. What about you???
She writes:
I'm a home grown American citizen, 53,
registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I
registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party
represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer
feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues
important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or
representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues
important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand
up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our
Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what
my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both
major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell
me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek
representation:
One, illegal
immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our
borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in
drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution.
P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal
immigration.
Two, the TARP bill, I want it
repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you
did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze,
repeal.
Three: Czars, I want the
circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No
more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president.
Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor
it.
Four, cap and trade. The debate on global
warming is not over. There is more to say.
Five,
universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision.
Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break.
Slow down!
Six, growing government control. I
want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my
life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take
care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start
there.
Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and
its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them
investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them
every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN
and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust
them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them
with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it
resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a
duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You
work for us, the people. Investigate.
Eight,
redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I
have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me
jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I
never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why
-- what do you have against shareholders making a
profit?
Nine, charitable
contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped
many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs
best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We
want to do it ourselves.
Ten, corporate
bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard
times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong
survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid? We will pull
together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the
chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed
us.
Eleven, transparency and
accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it.
Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk.
Please try -- please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever
wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and
meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude
to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from
me..
Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it
now.
Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some
input from some non-politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an
emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I
am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent
person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy,
and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the
business s of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our
bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships,
pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be
responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the
same all while living in the home of the free and land of the
brave.
I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed
in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What
happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find
humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a
bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not.
It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in
the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if
you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I
would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that
you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We
said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There
is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent
spending.
From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone
insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly
feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to
stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and
forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on
hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to
give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we
may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to
Washington Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable.
Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost
to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us
like we're morons.
We want all of you to stop focusing on your
reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job
your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for
long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be
represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come
for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay
taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we
are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong
and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far.
Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be
there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have
their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the
polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We
will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us
and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the
gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You
will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are
candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you
have made of our constitution.
Democrat, Republican, independent,
libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless
to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution
and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who
abuse power and seek more.. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it
back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are
dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to
us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency
loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be
fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to
be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not
save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand
up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I
need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with
the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one
by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you
represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are
coming.
An American you call a Terrorists and a Mobster.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The bottom line…Well the whole thing is the bottom line.
What’cha gonna do when dey come fo you…
