The State of the Nation

As I travel around North Texas, Southern Arkansas & Louisiana I hear more and more how much people are dissatisfied with the way the country is going under the Democrat majority and the Republican minority. To paraphrase Churchill---never has so few done so much to so many. Congress has the lowest approval rating in history, yet everyone like his or her Congressman and/or Senator. This lowest approval rating doesn't stop them from doing whatever they please...giving themselves a raise, working 3 days a week and at least 2 months a year off to name a few. From what I understand they are in the process of ramming through a national health care bill that no one really understands, doesn't know how we are going to pay for it and the very Senators & Representatives that are pushing it through have add an amendment exempting themselves from the plan. What does that mean?

The founders of our nation wrote the Constitution with safe guards to prevent government oppression and to maintain the rights of the individual. Yet one hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine
Supreme Court justices, which equates to 545 human beings out of the 300
million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible
for the domestic problems that plague this country. Do
we the people vote for higher taxes? Are we the people allowed to correct our income tax mistakes without penalties? Are we the people allowed to take a year off with pay to run for office? Are we the people allowed to give ourselves a raise? Do we the people even have a voice in government any more?

We have all but abandoned God and moral high ground, and justifiably so God and moral high ground as all but abandoned us. Given all this we must never give up. Keep voicing you opinion and maybe someday we will be heard.
