The pictures of a peaceful protest were sent to me yesterday showing our fellow Americans willing to stand up and be counted when they feel we are not being represented honestly and openingly by our politicians. The cause at this 'tea party' has to do with all that is now ongoing in Washington, D. C. from the 'change' promised by our new President; to the divided power struggle over health care and a dozen other huge problems that exist in our life today. Each of us has a right, as a free American, to use our voice in hope that our politicians get the message,loud and clear, that we are not happy with what is transpiring in the current trend to stuff anything and everything down our throats whether we like it or not. Each of us has our own opinion and like our vote we can choose to stand up and make our personal views known. I cannot afford to travel to the Capitol and voice my opinion, but I can write to my Congressmen and Senators telling them my views. I have found over the years that politics is politics and power is a political prize for those who want a career, so keep that in mind when you next go to the polls. I think we need change, but not the change our current leaders plan for us.
Our forefathers fought and died for the rights spelled out in our Constitution - - - our bill of rights - - - which made us the strongest and best nation in the entire world. We, the people, sat by and let those in power slowly chip away our rights as we sit silently by and watch them do it. It is time to use your voice.
I hope you will send a letter out to your representatives and let them know how you feel about the changes they are working on and the effect they will have on you personally. Each of us has a vote, so follow closely and think clearly and vote in 2010.
