I have many good friends who I communicate with in person and on the Internet. As the conversation turns to the things that really matter, I always get the same question – ‘What Can We Do?’
Great question! Here’s my view (and I know many who feel the same.)
First of all, we must come to the realization that a majority of our representatives no longer truly represent us. They are looking out for their own best interests and don’t want to rock the boat or make any waves.
Essentially, most of our congressman and senators are merely playing it safe. They have their blinders on and don’t want to take a look at the bigger picture. They are too busy making the rounds in Washington – being all chummy with their colleagues and making backdoor deals.
Look at Congress! They hold the purse strings; you’d think they’d be a bit more scrutinizing. But as we’ve seen time and time again, they are more than content to remain in their blissfully ignorant state until such time that their constituents are forced to light a fire under their butt and point them in the right direction!
Also, its been recently revealed (and this should comes as no surprise) that most of our government officials are blackmailing each other and have been rendered severely impotent. In a time when all types of unethical and illegal government activities are revealed, how is that the proper checks and balances are continuously neglected? We have high ranking officials who should have been forced to step down numerous infractions ago – but still they remain.
Essentially, ‘We the People’ have been thrust into a position of greater responsibility. We are now the watchdogs! We have to keep them (the federal government) honest the best we can and just keep pouring it on!
How we do this?
Continue to keep the flow of information going! Educate the moderates and tactfully plant some seeds in the minds of the liberals. We know liberals may become defensive and irrational, so we may have to carefully pick and choose what info we share – sticking to those stories that directly threaten the majority. The ‘privacy issue’ is one that will continue to resonate with the liberal factions.
Also, we need to regularly contact (via phone or email) our congressman and senators, whether they be Democrat or Republican. Send them links/evidence to support your concerns. Eventually, there may be enough honest representatives in place to make a difference. Ones who are ready to have an impact and shake-up the status quo. We are seeing that with Senator Ted Cruz. Some of his own party have taken a strong disliking of him, and that is a very good sign! We need to force small government Constitutionalists like Ron Paul onto national prominence – they are presidential material!
But more than anything, we have to get behind the Tea Party any way we can! We must support, defend, encourage, and pray for local and state Tea Party groups and …read more
