TIME IS NOT IN OUR FAVOR

SPECIAL POST

On Saturday, I alluded to the fact that we Americans have got to quit bellyaching about our frustrations and disgust with Washington and we need to get to the polls and do something about it.  The more I talk with people, the more agreement there is that the country is in a drastic decline, that things are terribly wrong in our nation's capitol and that we cannot wait any longer before we do something about it.  

Procrastination is not an option. Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country.  The truth is that we are not going to bounce back this time as we have in the past.  We have bounced back from national problems before, but we had leadership in place at the time that was prepared to step up to the plate and lead us in the bounce-back. 

We don't have that leadership today. 

So, we need to change our leadership.  The only we we can do that is to go and vote in the primaries and in November, and we have to vote with vengeance and conscience.  Only 11% of Americans have confidence in Congress; to me, that means we need to get rid of 89% of the current members.   Since 2/3 of the Senate is not up for reelection, we need to replace everyone else... Senators and Representatives alike.  Party doesn't make a difference; if they're running for reelection, they need to go.  

How can I say that?  Because they are part of the Washington establishment.  If they have been there for more than a two-year term, they have become infected with the stench that we Americans are tired of smelling.  This means you have to vote, I have to vote and we need to drag our friends and neighbors along with us. 

It doesn't take any brains; we can be lazy and not study the candidates.  All we have to do is vote against all incumbents.  If an incumbent is already out and we have a real choice, then vote for the guy you like.  See how simple it is?  But, it is vitally important to the security and future of our country that we eliminate the "establishment" right now.  Time has run out. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
