America has always been a shining example of Strength, Opportunity, and Freedom to the rest of the world, but in the past few decades, we have lost this position and, the way everything is occurring, it doesn't seem as though our leaders can, or want to, get a grip on restoring it. Politicians, and the system of politics as a whole, have become cronies to big business and have forgotten, or chosen to ignore, the regular citizens of this once Great Country. Since these so-called leaders do not seem to care any longer, it is up to us, the True Americans, to take a stand and turn things around and make everything work for us all. Sure the big-money people, this includes our elected and appointed officials, will scream bloody-murder. They will do this due to the fact that they will no longer be able, or allowed the opportunity, to make back-room deals and exploit the American people as they once did. All it takes is" SIMPLICITY".
With each and every election cycle we are subjected to, from those of whom are running for official positions, constant blame-throwing, name calling, and how they could do it or have done it better. This is nothing more than blowing smoke. If they can talk a good game, many people fall for almost everything they say. This is exactly what they count on. They really do not plan to change things, they just want you to believe that they will. They all say that they have a plan for recovering that which has been lost or to repair that which has been broken, but the truth of it all is, that if they were to actually attempt to do so, it would be met with strong resistance from those who would rather things remain as they are. As long as things remain the same, there is a lot of money to be made by those of whom have control. In order to truly fix that which is broken, these people are going to have to lose money and control. They are not concerned with the fact that when it is fixed, they are going to make lots of money, they are only concerned with making money now. The only ones to suffer through this is us, the American People. This is because, for lack of a better way to put it, we are at their mercy. If they choose to do the right thing, then we will all benefit from it, if they do not, well, we will continue to suffer and do with little or nothing. Actually, this is their preference. The more that we don't have, the less we have to do with and have to depend on them for what we can get. This is why, when they put forth a plan or idea for correcting the problems, it is always a long term idea. This is because they know full well, that by the time they are supposed to do that which they say, their plans will not happen due to the changing of the guard, the next election cycle. Those of whom have much get more, and those of whom have little get nothing. Is this not the way it has been? Of course it has and is! Does this work? Of course it does, but only for those who are getting the money and not for the benefit of us all! There is a very important and major fact to which we, as THE PEOPLE , seem to have forgotten; WE ARE THE POWER IN AND OF THIS COUNTRY! It is, and always has been, up to us to straighten out the mess created by our phony and inconsiderate leaders. Unfortunately, we have entrusted this power to those of whom were to represent us and , without any doubt, have been deemed insignificant and made to believe they have our best interests as top priority in all that they do. They make all of the promises and incur the debts while we are left to pay the bills. What a ruse! We have fallen asleep and have relied upon a false sense of security, and at the same time, have given away our own individuality, our Freedoms, our Liberties, and our basic Rights in which to choose that which is best for us. Should we have really done this? No, we should not have! It is time to awake from our stupor and retake that which has been taken from us. We have to reclaim our power and usurp our authority as Americans to repair the damage that has been done to our country and hold accountable those of whom have taken it upon themselves to take advantage of our trust, corrupt our systems and do as they see fit for personal gains.
Most of the troubles in which we are forced to endure these days, could have been avoided if only our leaders would have paid attention to and reinforced the people, but instead they chose big money, which contribute heavily to their causes and campaigns. This is the result of allowing big money and their supporters to run the show. It is the same as with a big company, we have all worked for one at some time, they sit in their boardrooms and make decisions concerning the business and don't take into consideration as to how it will effect the company or it's employees as long as it looks good on paper and gives the desired effect on the bottom line. When all you are concerned with is the bottom line, you fail to take into account how these decisions result in employee morale, performance, and the effects on customers, customer relations., and the overall effect on the business. This only called one thing: GREED, overwhelmingly and undeniably. This is proof positive that we have to evict big business from our government and put our government out of business. Get government out of the way and allow our people the opportunity to let our free markets do that which they were designed to do. This is one of many ways to begin to turn this country around and get it back on the right road to recovery.
Do you ever wonder how out of touch with reality these people vying for office really are? Do you ever wonder what the real purposes behind these campaigns or tours, as they call some, across America are? One way to look at this, which you will not hear from any forum or media, is that these people reside in a safety zone, by this I mean economically. They don't have the daily concerns of how they are to pay their bills or feed and provide for their families. When there are economic down-turns, they do not feel the squeeze as the rest of us do. So, with this being said, how can they actually relate to what we are going through? They can't. They may have somewhat of an idea, but it is related to what they have heard and not what they know or have seen for themselves. This brings us to these cross-country "tours". They make an attempt at creating the illusion of getting in touch with the people. In reality, they are on fund-raising and vote-buying projects. They only appear in areas that are considered voting pools and where people have money to give. You rarely, if ever, see them in areas that are hardest hit by the failed policies and projects of any administration. So, how do they ever see the reality of America? They don't. This doesn't prevent them from giving redundant speeches and making empty promises in which they have no intention of keeping. This is how they attempt to convince us that they are the right person for the job. This is yet another example of how the system is stacked against us. You have to be rich, or willing to follow the establishments ways of doing things, in order to be considered for the job. You can state whatever you like to get the people behind you, just as long as you remember that you are going to have to go with the status-quo in order to get in. This has to be eliminated and brought to an immediate and permanent end. We must and need to vehemently return to the basics that made this country great. We must eliminate the pompous and overly pretentious attitudes and actions of our current system of government, from top to bottom. We must break the cycle of big government and of the American people being held hostage by the under-handed dealings of such government, big business, big money, the insurance and credit rating industries and the overwhelming influence of foreign governments, agencies, and dignitaries. If we fail to do so, we will be dead in the water, remaining the same as always, going nowhere fast, being subjected to everyone but ourselves. The time of Elitist-Rule has to be brought to an end, now! It is time for us to shake off the chains of oppression and tyranny in order to do what we do best, lead, innovate, and prosper. There is one thing that you need to be aware of and remember; when you stand for that which is right or good, you will be ridiculed, called names, deemed to be wanting or willing to hurt others with that which you are attempting to accomplish, told that your ideas won't work, and attacked from every angle. The ones that will promote and do these things are the ones that will be thrown off of the gravy train and are upset that you are attempting to cut off their money supply. Do not let them discourage you from completing your task. Just be strong and know that when you have succeeded, all will benefit. It's time for a complete check-up from the bottom-up, and a shake-down from the top-down. We have to do whatever is necessary in order to rid our government and organizations, on all levels, of corruption and unfair and illegal practices. Remember, WE ARE THE POWER. The days of these people shrouding themselves from the law and distorting the Constitution are rapidly coming to an end.
