Legislation Without Representation
I am growing more deeply concerned with every day that passes. The House Bill 1388 just passed in the senate and is set to go before the president by the end of the week. On the bright side, some language was taken out of the bill that would prevent any kind of religious expression or practice. This shows me that what we are doing is working. However those in the house are sneaking this language into two other bills HR 1444 and HR 77.
These men and women that we have put our trust in to run our country, are being anything but Transparent as Mr. Obama promised. Our first Revolution in 1776 was fought over religious freedom and taxation without representation. We are now in a position that we are facing these same battles again combined with "legislation without representation". This must STOP before it goes any farther.
If we don't do something soon, it will be too late. While the Tea Parties are a great idea, they are not being reported in the news. Too many people that would otherwise join this cause have never even heard of it. Our news media spends too much time on AIG and Octo-mom while completely ignoring the most important issues in our nation. Perhaps we should gather our Tea Party groups in front of some television news stations and newspapers. That might get their attention.
Remember this is not about Race or Religion or Political parties. This is about America, freedom and the Nation that our brave men and women have sacrificed their lives to preserve. This is about the ideals that have made our nation the greatest nation on the face of the earth, in the history of the world. These ideals were put forth by our founding fathers in our constitution and bill of rights. We began our nation as a Democratic Republic practicing free-market capitalism (An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.) In other words, everyone has individual, unique and separate value, proportionate to how hard you are willing to work.
Our country, however is marching headlong into socialism who Karl Marx the father of modern communism describe as "the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles." We must open our eyes, put aside our pride and see what is going on before it's too late. We have allowed this to happen, now we must take action to stop it. If you find yourself hanging over the edge of a cliff on a rope, if you don't climb up to safety, you will become weak and fall to your death. However, if you exert youself and climb up to safety, you will survive. The key is, it will take risk, hard work and commitment. We can and must do this now!!!
