Stand Up America

Whether you are for or against the war, love or hate Bush, a Republican or a Democrat, liberal or conservative the time is now to unite and remove every single politician from Federal government that can be until we have a clean slate. At the same time we need to pull back the reins of the special interest groups who are spending billions buying votes. Either that or be prepared for a civil war in this nation.

Millions of Americans are sick and tired of being used as pawns by the corrupt government that now runs our nation. The situation reminds me of the Jethro Tull song “Locomotive Breath”.

“In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser headlong to his death. He feels the pistons scraping— steam breaking on his brow—

Old Charlie stole the handle and the train won’t stop going, no way to slow down”

Anyone old enough to know that song will remember that driving beat. Everytime I turn on the T.V. and hear Bush or almost any politician speak I hear that song.

Bush Sr. when he was prez used to talk about the battle of good against evil, right against wrong and how there would be a New World Order. I believe Clinton and Bush Jr. have helped that become a reality. They weren’t alone, there were many, many accomplices. Sandy Burger, James Baker, corporations, special interest groups, Congress and the list goes on and on.

Washington has become a river of sludge and it is time to start turning on the pumps. If we continue up this path with our political blinders on or just ignoring the problem the end result will be a disaster that we will never come back from. The road to revolution will be paved with hard times, but unless we start fighting back at the polls, we will lose our national identity.

When a government stops listening to its citizens it starts becoming a dictatorship. The latest example of this abuse is Bush and Congress trying to revive a bill that is dead despite the overwhelming opposition by the American CITIZENS. I am speaking of the Immigration Amnesty Bill (cue Jethro Tull). Check out Texas Fred’s webpage on the attempted ressurection of the Immigration Amnesty Bill

Stand up and be heard America, tell your party that you will not stand for this crap and corruption anymore. Democrat or Republican, it doesn’t matter. Start looking for candidates that you like who are honest and push for them to run. Turn in your party card and go NPA. Make these guys earn your vote.

This corruption and abuse of power must end. Only “We the People” can change this. If you want to continue being lazy, than I hope you have gun to defend yourself when the new “Revolution” breaks out. We must change things the peaceful way or we will be forced to one day change it the other way.

The situation isn’t improving, it is in fact getting worse. Imagine if the politicians gave the citizens back the money they spend on their pork barrel projects everytime a bill goes through. They spend our money recklessly and want more all the time. A good example of the lies are with gas prices. The taxes on gas are huge. If government cared they would lower the taxes, instead they want to offer lip service.

Stand up and say, No More!!!!

    Amen, No Incumbent in the next 2 elections…. That should send a clear message. Unfortunately we will lose some good ones but thats when the message is the loudest.

    Robert,

    Great comment,nice to know I won’t be the only person taking a stand at the next elections. I agree, good people may lose a job, but the time for cleaning house is now. If we don’t this will just empower them more. That would be a tragedy.

    Exactly my thoughts, guys. Its no better in most countries that I know of - just career politicians all over the place. Wish we could have modern day versions of our Founding Fathers; wouldn’t that be nice? I bet they’d really stick it to em!
