The cartoon published by the Washington Post about Ted Cruz and his family depicting his children as monkeys, gives us glimpse into the depravity that some will go to when someone is not in line with their line of reasoning. The Post finally pulled the cartoon and I would guess not because they wanted to or thought it inappropriate but because even they got the message from the public that they had gone way to far. Now here is my question if you just heard about this or if for whatever reason you had heard about it before you got this message. How did you react? Did you say, "well that's the Post for you what do you expect". Or "well that's politics for you". Or " cancel my subscription" Or, "I guess it's time for me to get involved so I can help get rid of people who would do this kind of thing". I hope you said the latter.

There is a lot wrong in our country right now and we are the only ones that can fix it. We, you say, are you talking about you and me? Yes, I am talking about you and me. Those that have the power right now on both sides of the aisle want to keep it. They really don't care what we think or remember that they work for us.A lot of us still don't get the idea that they work for us either, because we keep letting them get away with things and don't fire them as we should. This isn't about party, this is about an elite mindset where those who get elected are so in love with the life they live that the only thing they really care about is getting re-elected. You and I can stop that.

Now it is true that as one or two etc, it's going to be a hard job. But there are enough of us to get the job done if we will just organize ourselves a bit. One or two can turn into thousands and tens of thousands if we are willing to do this. The revolution that started us so many years ago, needs to happen again and re-start us on the path that I believe many of our smart ancestors put us on hundreds of years ago.

I will not beg you to join us, you need to do this on your own. There is a saying that I have used for many years in my seminars and keynotes and that is: "Pain drives change"! What I am inviting you to do is help me raise the pain level on those who are trying to discourage and destroy what this country once was, still is to some degree, and desperately needs to be again. But I know that the only way to do that is to raise the pain level on those who are destroying what America has been about and was designed to be in and for the world, to such a level that they have no choice but to stop. We need to make the pain to high, the price to high for them to find the pain and price unbearable.

I know what I have just asked you to do, I do not fool myself or try to fool you into thinking that this is not probably the biggest task we will ever undertake. I have decided for me the "price" to let what is now happening continue to happen has become to high, the pain to much. I am not asking you to make any sacrifice or pay any price to fix this that I am not willing to pay myself. We may have to pay the ultimate price to fix this, but as for me, I am willing to pay it.

Welcome to the 2016 version of the "Civil War"! But this is not North against South. It is about you and I, mainstream America versus anybody and whoever wants to try and stop us from re-establishing this country to the way our founders, signers of the Declaration of Independence and signers of the Constitution saw that we needed to be. We are the guardian of that legacy and if we fail to do this our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and beyond will someday be asking the question about why we didn't do something to stop this destruction while we were here and could do something, because they will have been left with a way of life unthinkable to us now.

My first request of you is to find out the name of your congressman and Senators, their Washington and home office addresses, the name of his or her Chief of Staff. Post this information somewhere that you will see it every day and have it close when things need to get done. Get all the contact information you want but I know the ADDRESS is the most important piece to get.

This is a lot to think about and for some not an easy decision. For some it is just what they were waiting for to happen. It will happen at the pace it is supposed to happen but with your help, it will happen sooner rather than later. Don't ever forget this, "Pain drives change" and as of the moment you read this you are in the pain management business. Welcome!
