Disappointment Leads to Action

I am disappointed today. I am disappointed in our Congress. Last night, after much wrangling and based on party affiliation, a "sweeping" health care package was passed - against the will of the people of this nation.

Abraham Lincoln said that our government is a "government OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people" and that it "shall not perish from the earth". (Gettysburg Address) But political status has overtaken the concept of passing laws to reflect the will of the people.

Our Senators and Congressmen have forgotten that they have been elected by us to be our spokespersons in Washington. They have been defiled by the desire to follow party lines and vote the way the party tells them to vote. They have been defiled by power.

NO MORE! My own legislators actually voted against this bill. But they have been in Washington too long. Congress will not vote for term limits for themselves. Nor do they abide by the laws they dictate. They are exempted from many of the despicable laws they pass and they are not participants in Social Security (which they have bankrupted by borrowing and granting to many who have not contributed to it) or in Medicare (which they have proven they cannot run adequately and doctors are ending their participation because they cannot be paid and jack up their prices ridiculously to try to obtain what would probably be a fair price for all) nor will they participate in this health care they are going to provide for us.

I WILL VOTE AGAINST ALL INCUMBENTS. I WILL PASS TERM LIMITS FOR THEM BY NOT VOTING FOR THEM AGAIN.

I will not apologize for taking action to end my disappointment. We need to take control of our government. For anyone to stand in Washington and tout reform knowing that the majority of the citizens of this nation are against governmental control of that reform is arrogant and self-righteous.

Join me and vote out every incumbent in Washington and TAKE BACK AMERICA!
