We have been sold a bill of goods about change. We have been told that we have to change them. The truth is, we need to change us. November 2nd will change nothing unless we change. Change from thinking that those we elect will look out for us, it's just not been true. We have to look out for ourselves. How many times in your life have you said to yourself, "if only this would happen", "if only I could win the lottery", "if only they would change, live could be so good". How has that worked out for you?
The only way to get things to change is for us to change ourselves and take charge of our own future. Why would we want to put somebody else in charge of that? Well that is exactly what we do when we wait on "them" whoever they are, to do it.
The Power of Choice is the most powerful tool you and I will ever have. We have it WITHIN us to choose what that future will look like. It will take a lot of hard, gut-wrenching work to get it done. But if we wait for "them" to do it, it will never happen. We have gotten lazy and now we are paying the price. Now we have to change almost everything in Washington and then make sure we stay in charge by holding all those new Senators and Congressmen accountable.
When I hear someone say that the only good Republican or Democrat is a dead one, I know that the only thing that matters to them is who is in charge and NOT who will do the best job, not only as a party but individually. We have let a system grow up which punishes people who don't adhere to the "party" line. The system is set up to let the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader be dictators. Good people with good ideas that aren't in sync with the leadership will pay the price. I believe there are good people on both sides, but they are not allowed, in this system, to do what they know is right. We need TERM LIMITS! The seniority system has sucked the blood out of our American political system.
We now have an administration that seems to be bent on destroying the American way of life. We are trying to spend our way to prosperity and it has never worked and it will not work now. We need a paycheck, not a food stamp. We will never get back what we know works with those who are now in charge. WE NEED TO FIRE THEM ON NOV 2ND! But if you and I go back to letting the new ones think we work for them instead of them working for us, things will not change no matter which party is in power.
You and I don't need to do anything to have the power we need to change things to reflect what we know will work for our country. It was given to us by God and the United States Constitution underscored it and put it in writing. But somewhere along the way we forgot what was and is ours and can be ours again, if will only take back what is rightfully ours, our country. This is not about them, it is about us. This is not about the Tea Party, it is about us doing what we should have been doing all along. I know we can do it. I believe that we will do it. It is not about if we will, it is all about when. If not us, who, if not now, when?
From Steve Cohn (addreamers):
ReplyDeleteIf only Democratic incumbents are voted out this year, the whole movement is a farce. "Vote 'em out" means "Vote 'em ALL out." It means no more Tea Party funded by Republican operatives. It means rejecting the political power brokers like Karl Rove as well as Nancy Pelosi. If GOP incumbents come out of the election unscathed, it'll just show that the powerful have manipulated us again.
