This is true.  I think it is time for us to consider voting all that are in office now, voting them OUT. and starting over.

Help restore liberties: vote all incumbents out 

Far more than "Four score and seven years ago" as outlined in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, our founding fathers set forth to create a perfect union embracing liberty for all. And in that Golden Age, we wrote and exercised The Declaration of Independence, the incomparable Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.

Enough already! It is time we heeded Thomas Jefferson and exercised our right to revolt. Our founding documents guarantee us that right.

We should be demanding an end to government corruption and the restoration of our liberties. 

 

Life, Liberty & Justest for all..

   At this point in time, and as screwed up as things seem to be. I wonder if it is even still possible to elect ourselves out of our problems? All the contenders always seem to come from the same box.


the hardest part of doing nothing, is knowing when your done.

Very good point spacemonkey.. Although, past & present administration, for some time now, (Years back) have drove the Country to where we are now...

This may, or may not be looked at by each/any individual the same way.. I do not feel it is easily just a Democratic, or Republican cause.. Both are guilty of the results we now have, throughout their time in reign..

When spiraling down as we have continued doing, at some point unless there is a wish only by the individuals to hit the bottom.. You need to make a choice to hand over control to another..

Our Pilots:

Dem's & Rep's alike for many years now have been in a nosedive, not willing to hand over any controls.. It will not work at even that very last second.. Once controls are handed to a well trained & qualified Person/s..

At that time, they will still not be able to save the situation/s in that, the very last moments.

I'm not a public politician but I am the mayor/president/queen in my own home and you would be hard pressed to find someone more honest than I am in that situation.  But honesty doesn't mean that you can follow through on every promise made. Circumstances dictate how the outcome will be. To be diplomatic, I try to never make promises, that way I've not let anyone down when I fail to meet the expectations created by the promise.  Perhaps public politicians would do well to take a page from my book. ;)

When you elect a Mayor, President, Govenor,you are putting some control in their hands. a Mayor needs to run the city. he needs to listen to the citzens. A President needs to listen to the American people. The government can't run this nation, I do not want them running health care. They need to look at the insurance industry to make it more affordable, not tell me who I have to use. The city needs to stop giving raises to the top brass, and start cutting jobs at the top. It takes more people to run a city than the risk manager, human resorce manager and the others at the top. The mayor needs to stop hiding and making decisions, Not tell you that it is out of his hands. For a presidency to work you need the congress to be opposite of the president on the politcal side, so it is somewhat ballanced. I did not always agree with President Clinton but he did make some wise decisions and we were not so far into debt.
