The road to real change and the second American Revolution is through the power granted us by the first revolution, the ballot box. In my opinion our nation has been kidnapped and is no longer the nation standing on the principals established by our founding fathers. How can one form that opinion? Well we know that 50% of Americans who are eligible to vote, do. We also know by fact that those 50% split down the middle between the two major parties. That leaves the rest of the eligible voters doing nothing about anything but griping.
It is to, the excluded, the exploited, the new non Credit Worthy, the new irresponsible, the poor and those who are suffering at the hands of these present leaders that I present this course of action for consideration.
Now to think that this will ever reach the masses without the cooperation of many is foolish. Many of the cattle, as they like to call us average peons, just don't get involved and don't know the real issues. That is their trump card. The more we stay disinterested, uninvolved, doing nothing, the more they can do what they want.
So really what is the solution? Simply put, a vote for anyone in either party is no more then a continuance of what we have, the status quo. Therefore our only choice is as follows.
First let me give you a couple of simple analogies. Two guns, both work similarly, both serve the same purpose and do the same deed. Does it matter who the manufacturer is, no. They can both kill, maim, protect depending on the owners intent. Put that gun into the hands of a bad person and they will hurt. Put it into the hands of a good person and most likely it will not be used except in defense. Therefore if you KNOW the person who has the gun is bad, by what they have done or failed to do and have an alternative, why give the bad person the gun to continue harm?
Another example. Two people, ones an outright thief, conniving, a liar and has not done the deeds and works acceptable to you. They other an unknown quantity. That person could be another bad person or possibly a good person? You know what you have so why put that bad person back? Give the other a chance, what have you lost?
So here is my opinion as to the only real road to change and it must come about through a new Revolution. That is to vote out, yes OUT every single sitting Republican or Democrat when and where the opportunity arises, at every single level, national, state and local where they run for office.
Now what will that do?
First- it will definitely send a shock wave message, sound the alarm, wring the gong for these two identical twins that say they are different.
Secondly- and most importantly it will send a message to every single politician that the days of sitting in office year in and year out without having to fear the electorate are gone, over, done with.
Now will we get any better, who really knows until we know their works. Yet it will do exactly what I just stated and "that's a fact Jack" as the movie line goes. So if you are up for it, print it off, circulate it, pass it around by word or act, let the people know, that we are a nation Of the People, By The People and For The People and for all Americans, yes Americans.
Yes and as Americans we will then become a nation once again established on the rule of law, welcoming legal immigration and people from all lands who swear allegiance to America, her beliefs, her culture, her ideals and obey and respect our law and who want to defend those freedoms as granted us all under the Constitution.
