Who "is" in control? I don't know about America, but the government has definitly lost it's way! Particularly, the White House, the House and Senate.

Let me point something out that no one else seems to be pointing out. To my knowledge, not even Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh. The country has been divided for years, by something that should be completely irrelevant, "Political Parties". For too long Americans listen to the rhetoric coming from candidates at election time, then vote for the one whom they feel represents their values and beliefs the most.

Hey! That sounds real American doesn't it? Actually, it's not! At least not any more. You know and I know that the way this usually plays out, is the candidate says or does whatever he thinks you (the voter) wants to hear to get elected. Once elected, he does whatever the hell he wants to, (excuse my french) then couldn't care less what you think or what you want until the next election rolls around, then it starts all over again.

With this system, the way it has been working, we lose before the starting gun has been fired and we have even come out of the gate. What I'm going to say to you is going to sound pretty strange, but makes all the sense in the world. "The opinions, beliefs, religion and political affiliation of a person running for public office should not matter!"

I realize that statement alone sounds a little cracked, but when you consider that an elected official is supposed to represent "you", the majority of the people, his personal opinion should be irrelevant. The point I am making is, if a congressman or congresswoman represents a district of 100,000 people and 60,000 of them are against abortion, then their duty is to vote against abortion regardless of their personal beliefs or opinions.

It is the same in reverse. Even if the elected congressman/woman or Senator is a "flaming religious conservative" and a pro life advocate, their duty is to vote to support abortion if the majority of their district is in favor of it! PERIOD! Ladies and gentlemen, that is called "WE THE PEOPLE".

This article is not written to persuade you to join my political party and isn't promoting any political party! I don't care if you are a "Marxist Socialist Liberal" or a "Nazi Conservative". I don't care if you are a "Right wing Republican" or a "Left wing Democrat" , we are all the same in the respect that you want someone in office who represents "you".

We do not hire or elect these people to represent themselves, (as they have been doing) we send them to Washington to represent "US". Politicians in Washington have for too long had too much power! They are meant to simply be an extension of "us" the people, and the power belongs to the people! Not any one person or small group of people.

It is obvious that that's the way it should be. A person doesn't need to be republican or democrat, liberal or conservative, to be a congressman/woman or Senator or even president, they just need to be honest and vote with the majority of their constituents, regardless of their personal beliefs, feelings or affiliations. "That's America" and it got lost along the way.

We currently have just a hand full of these people "Holding America Hostage". They are voting the way "they" want to vote on issues such as health care, regardless of how you feel or what you want. They are even willing to destroy their own careers to change America into something the majority of Americans don't want, against their will (and yours) using something called "reconciliation".

I don't care what religion you are, what color you are, or what political affiliation you are, this group of elected officials are "NOT WORKING FOR YOU!!!" and they are not taking care of the business you sent them there to do! They are taking care of their own interests!

The sad truth is, we all have families, jobs and lives to lead. We don't have time to go to get involved. That's why we elected these people in the first place to "represent us". Maybe we can't afford to go to Washington and babysit these people who are acting out of line, but we now have to get involved!

Find out who your congressperson is. Find out who your Senator is and "CALL THEIR OFFICE". They work for you! Come November of 2010, go to the polls no matter what and "VOTE!"
