The person that said "The only way that evil will prevail is for good people to stand back!", is so true. The good people in America have been standing back for too long. We have almost given away the boat! If we don't start doing something soon it could be too late. We have elected officials that have been elected to look out for our best interests. The problem is they are looking out for their interests long before they look out for our interest. We elect them, they work (am I not correct) for us they, need to start doing just that. I wish I could pass a law giving me a raise, or setting up my retirement and medical system, totally separate and distinct from the average voter. The good people of America have stood by and let our elected officials get by with this. They find a great bill and add their own pork barrel projects for this friend or another to it. Before you know it in order to have the beneficial bill pass we have to spend billions more on junk for special interest groups! We need the line item veto passed but if you are waiting for your congressman to vote for it you will wait for a long time. How about something new just make every bill stand alone on its own merits! Have you tuned in to watch your congress at work? No wonder we don't get any thing done, nobody is at work! Your congressmen are too busy making money for themselves or going on vacation to Europe on a fact finding mission paid for by our hard earned money! They can't be bothered doing their job and working on solutions for American problems.
So if when you look around and don't like what you see, just how vocal have you been about the problems. Or have you just sat by and let things go!
At least that is what I think.
