Crisis du jour

Have you noticed how many "crisis's" there are? There's the "Global Warming Crisis", the "Education Crisis", the "Poverty Crisis" and our latest, the "Economic Crisis". In this crisis, we are told that unless the politicians pass the obscene spending bill they just passed, that bad things were going to happen. What bad things? They couldn't be specific, but definitely "bad things" unless they act "RIGHT NOW". No time to think, no time to debate, ACT NOW!

So, say you come in to the hospital bleeding from the artery in your neck, the doctor looks at you and says, "we must ACT NOW because your condition is a "crisis". Then, he tries putting a band aid on the bleeding but it falls off. He then suddenly looks at his calendar and exclaims, "It's a holiday, I'll get back to your crisis in a day or so."
That's pretty much what our "Representatives did. They tried to pass a bill, the people screamed NO! It didn't pass but they said they really need to do something because of the "crisis". Oh, but, it's a holiday, so we'll get back to this in a couple days.

What a load of crap.

Every time the politicians want to fleece the general public, they invent another crisis to get everyone stirred up and make it seem action is necessary. Well, from the public outcry of this last fleecing, I think everyone is waking up. Well don't fall asleep again. VOTE THE BUMS OUT NOW.

Take back the government from professional politicians. Elect people that have had experience in life and have a taste of how the real world works for the real people out here. That's what I'm going to do.

Representative Republic

We live in a "Representative Republic". That is, we elect people to "represent us" and do the country's business in our behalf. This, while we live our lives, create businesses, work at our jobs, play at our play. After the most recent bill, the "wall street bail out", was passed, it is clear that we no longer have any representation in Washington. I talk to many people. Every single one thinks the bail out is a bad idea. To top it off, our "representatives" added $125 billion in pork to bribe enough representatives to vote for it.

I say, "ENOUGH, VOTE THE BUMS OUT NOW!!"

In this next election cycle, let no incumbent remain in office. Let's send a message to the remaining "representatives". "Do the will of the people, or look for new employment".

If the remaining "representatives" do not get the message and repeal this social injustice, we can begin the recall process and clean out the rest of the house and senate. Can it be done? If California could recall its Governor, we can clean up the rest of government in a couple years. More to follow...
