You've got a choice

There are lots and lots of people in this country that live off less than $5,000 a year. Yeah that's right people, $5,000 . Then there are people out there that are making a bit more but still live far below the average income in the US which is a little under $30,000. People in Congress earn, "I mean make", almost $174,000 a year. In one month they bring in what the average guy/girl must work half a year to actually earn or, what those on the bottom must scrounge a full year to make. Now on top of these facts, these congress people write the rules that the rest of us out here have to live by.

Does this seem a bit bizarre to you? Do you see why there is such discontent from the common person out here in America? Do you see why those politicians fail to show up at town halls now? Do you see why they start begging for campaign contributions as soon as they get elected? Do you see why they make laws so complicated the average person cannot read the final product? Do you see why they do not want bills placed on the Internet before the bills are voted on? Do you see now that they have a set of rules for them and then another set of rules for the average citizen?

Tired of having your tax money wasted? Tired of having your tax money given to projects and people that fail to meet the smell test? Tired of having a person with less knowledge than you telling you how to spend your own money? Tired of judges making laws? Tired of judges using their position to create rights out of thin air? Tired of judges using their position to deny rights guaranteed by the constitution? Tired of being treated like a half wit? I'm tired of it. I'm damn tired of it. I see it. I see all of it. I'm fed up with it too. You fed up yet?

Do something then! Let those in congress know they are not above the law and that they must respect you, the citizen out here that pays their damn salary. The ones out here that can still put their butts back where they came from. But to do this you have to become involved with the process and get others involved as well. This will never change by itself and there are those out there that insist things will never change, so there isn't any need to even try. Friends you must try. You cannot sit by idle while this great country cries out for your involvement. For you to sit by idle is to discount all the lives lost throughout the years in the effort to preserve this great union. Get up and participate with vigor. We must not fail, the alternative is unimaginable.
