We Need Help Now

               It has become clear to us that our government does not really concern themselves with the plight or concerns of the people. It would seem that when it is time for you to be elected or re-elected, you are concerned about the people and the hardships that they may have encountered. Once in office, the haves are not concerned with the have-nots. As I stated in my letter dated 11/01/08, "the people are hurting in this country and are doing without most of what they need on a daily basis". We see on the news daily how you are quick to help those whom have a lot, but not at all for the ones who need it. There are children going hungry and doing without in this country, most will not even have a Christmas this year because of the hardships that their parents have had to endure. What are you going to do for the people to show them that the ones we have elected genuinely care and are concerned about what we are going through? Believe me when I say," Whatever you are planning to do, I can guarantee that it will not be enough to do anything with, except for, maybe pay a bill or two that we have had to bypass just to buy some of the groceries that we may need".
                 Put yourselves in our place for once. If you had to decide whether to pay a bill or go buy a few groceries, not knowing for sure from week to week what was going to happen, then maybe you would be willing to do more for the American people than what you do. I know that it may be difficult for you to understand where we are at , because you have plenty and do not have to worry about these things on a daily or weekly basis. If only! Just remember one thing, "We the people are in the situations we are in , in part, due to the decisions that you either make or do not make".
                     The elite and the ones with the power, such as yourselves, are the ones that will be ok during these economically challenged times in which we face. I say again," What are you going to do for the people?" Are you willing to show us that you are genuinely concerned? Are you going to continue to do for the haves and not the have-nots?
                         I would also like for you to remember that with each and every election, we seem to do worse and worse. The work for the people as a whole, has not been done for many years now. It is time for you to get to the plate and hit a homerun. Do what is right and good for all Americans. If the American people are to be told to" hold on and wait for what we are doing to take effect" then, maybe we need to elect people that will be willing to do whatever is necessary for the good of this country. If something is not done to give the American people some relief, and be done quickly, then we will start a campaign to have people elected that will do the will of the people, all of the people, not just some. You cannot expect us to accept that you can do whatever  it is that you choose and have us pay the bills.
                           I pray that you will do what is right for all of us.
